Rebirth of Corrupt Officials

Chapter 55.1

“The foundation laying ceremony of the Yanjiang Bridge project is about to begin. Please provide the opening remarks for the acting mayor, Mr. Jiang Xiaochuan, at this groundbreaking ceremony.”

Jiang Xiaochuan stood on the platform of the foundation laying ceremony of the Yanjiang Bridge. Under the stage were officials from the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Governments, as well as major TV stations and journalists.

After finishing his speech, Jiang Xiaochuan took a shovel and filled the first handful of soil for the entire groundbreaking ceremony.

He accepted his fate yesterday at the National People’s Congress. He didn’t expend much effort at all. The whole process went so smoothly that it was almost unbelievable.

Jiang Xiaochuan passed the vote almost unanimously. Peng Shuyi, director of the Municipal People’s Congress, had an expression of appreciation when he read out the voting results and seemed very pleased.

Peng Shuyi used to be the deputy secretary of the Chengzhou Municipal Party Committee, but after the new personnel changes in Chengzhou, he was transferred to the Municipal People’s Congress by Li Dakai. On the surface, the director of the Municipal People’s Congress was still one of the four giants in Chengzhou politics, and he was too idle. No matter how idle the position was, he never imagined that he would end up in the position he was in now. Generally, officials who were thrown into this position, would have their political career come to an end, and there were very few who could climb up to the level of real power.

To put it bluntly, Peng Shuyi, director of the Municipal People’s Congress, was always a politician.@@@@

But his relationship with Qu Zhendong seemed to be pretty good.

Qiu Yu was a very beautiful and elegant woman, but she was very old, probably in her fifties. From her facial features, people could see that she was very charming back then. This woman was in a high position and she had the aura of a superior. At first glance, she might just look like a noble lady, but when they looked into her eyes again, they would find it quite intimidating – she was a president of a multinational group.

Today, when foreign companies generally employed younger people, a woman in her fifties who could still sit on the throne of president must be a very capable woman.

After the groundbreaking ceremony, Qiu Yu shook hands with Jiang Xiaochuan, and the corners of her eyes like crow’s feet became even more wrinkled, “Mayor Jiang, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“I have admired President Qiu for a long time. You are our lucky star in Chengzhou.” Jiang Xiaochuan had a good impression of this woman. She was a very friendly and capable woman. Time had left her not only with age, but also with a calm and majestic charm.

Rong Shaobai just watched from the side, and soon started talking with officials from the National Development and Reform Commission.

With the gradual implementation of Lisson Group’s investment projects in Chengzhou and the support of government policies, Chengzhou’s economy was showing a promising trend. But hidden in Jiang Xiaochuan’s heart was a deep worry.

The issue of state-owned enterprise reform had always been a thorn in Jiang Xiaochuan’s throat that couldn’t be removed or swallowed.

He talked with Qiu Yu for a few words, and then organized a dinner party.
