451: There's no harm without comparison.

Watching Zhang Jiaming and his entourage get into their cars, which then drove out of the Municipal Party Committee Compound one after another, everyone involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Zifeng turned around, looked at everyone, and said, "Everyone has worked hard these past two days. Go back and take a good nap!"

Everyone agreed and happily turned around and left.

Lin Zifeng also walked toward the Office Building. After returning to his Office, he went straight into the rest room behind it, lay down on the bed, and started his afternoon nap.

Receiving inspections from superior leaders seemed easy on the surface, but it was mentally exhausting. To achieve their goals, every word spoken had to be carefully considered.

Therefore, a few minutes later, Lin Zifeng fell asleep with steady breathing.

Lin Zifeng slept until work time and woke up to the vibration of his phone alarm.

After getting up and washing up, Lin Zifeng, refreshed and energetic, came to the outer Office and started working.

Zhang Jiaming and his entourage had now arrived in Jianyang County. Qian Yushu and Yang Dongming were currently leading a group of Jianyang County Party Standing Committee Members, surrounding Zhang Jiaming and Zheng Jiadong's group, as they walked into Jianyang County's Meeting Room.

After the meeting began, the County Magistrate of Jianyang County, having received prior planning assistance from Qian Yushu and Yang Dongming, began giving his work report.

After reporting on Jianyang County's work, the County Magistrate of Jianyang County specifically emphasized the importance of the jingnan high-speed railway line to Jianyang County.

He hoped that the leaders of the Ministry of Railways would prioritize the development of the region and seriously consider having the jingnan high-speed railway line pass through Jianyang County.

If the jingnan high-speed railway line could truly pass through Jianyang County, he hoped the Ministry of Railways would consider supporting Jianyang County in constructing and widening the road leading to the high-speed rail station.

To genuinely support local construction.

Subsequently, he heaped a large pile of praise onto Zhang Jiaming and the other Ministry of Railways leaders; the language was somewhat flattering, and compliments poured out freely.

Wan Guoliang, who was present, continually shook his head internally. He couldn't help but think, "It seems this is the handiwork of Qian and Yang!"

The tone of the speech was completely consistent with the style of Qian and Yang.

But the methods used by these two people are petty tricks. Do they really think Cadres from the Central Ministries will allow themselves to be morally coerced?

The Ministry of Railways building a high-speed rail line is not a Poverty Alleviation Project. If it were a Poverty Alleviation Project, they would just build the line directly to poor counties. Why go through such trouble?

They want the high-speed rail line to pass through their territory, yet instead of thinking about how to provide convenience to the Ministry of Railways, they are asking the Ministry of Railways to help build the road leading to the high-speed rail station. This is simply wishful thinking.

With Yushu City's brilliant example preceding them, Jianyang County simply cannot compare.

Thinking of this, Wan Guoliang had already anticipated the outcome.

Events developed exactly as Wan Guoliang had guessed. Zhang Jiaming spoke very formally, basically devoid of any emotion.

Furthermore, Zhang Jiaming directly stated, "Theoretical discussion is not as good as an on-site inspection."

Thus, the meeting ended abruptly. Zhang Jiaming sent professional staff to conduct an on-site inspection, while he went straight to the Guesthouse.

After arriving at the Guesthouse, Zhang Jiaming immediately proposed to Zheng Jiadong and Wan Guoliang that they leave Jianyang County and return to The Capital tomorrow morning, shortening the one-day-and-one-night itinerary by a full half day.

Both understood Zhang Jiaming's intention, so neither said much, thinking internally, "There is no harm without comparison!"

If they were Zhang Jiaming, they would make the same choice.

Lin Zifeng was unaware of all this, but even if he knew, he wouldn't be overly surprised.

Wan Guoliang didn't call to tell him either, because there was no need; both men had already anticipated the result.

After work, Lin Zifeng took a car home, went upstairs to change clothes, quickly washed up, and then went downstairs again.

After getting into the car, Lin Zifeng put on a mask and sunglasses, drove out of the residential area, and headed toward the Fuguihua Residential Area.

Lin Zifeng once again parked his car in an inconspicuous spot in the Fuguihua Residential Area parking lot, and walked toward the Villa District through an area with fewer people.

When he entered the room after pressing the door lock code, Li Yanran was walking out of the kitchen holding a bowl of soup.

Seeing Lin Zifeng walk in, Li Yanran placed the soup bowl on the dining table and said, "Darling, you're here!

I figured you should be arriving now. The four dishes and one soup are ready, too. Hurry up and wash your hands and come eat!"

Lin Zifeng responded, put on slippers, and walked into the washroom. After washing his hands and exiting the washroom, Lin Zifeng and Li Yanran sat together at the dining table.

Li Yanran spoke again, "Darling, shall we have a few drinks tonight?"

"Sounds good! Let's keep it moderate. Today was genuinely exhausting, so a drink to relax would be nice."

As Lin Zifeng spoke, he picked up the White Liquor bottle, poured a glass for Li Yanran, and poured one for himself.

"Oh, it seems today's inspection by the superior leaders was very important for Yushu City, making you treat it so carefully."

Li Yanran placed a piece of pork rib on Lin Zifeng's plate and said with a curious expression.

Lin Zifeng nodded and said, "It is indeed very important. The Ministry of Railways is developing and constructing the jingnan high-speed railway line, and it's a choice between Yushu City and Jianyang County. The probability of the high-speed rail line passing through Yushu City is very high. How could I not treat this carefully?

This is a major event that will affect Yushu City's development for the next few decades."

Hearing Lin Zifeng's explanation, Li Yanran's beautiful eyes lit up, and she smiled, saying, "This truly is a major event.

If the jingnan high-speed railway line can pass through Yushu City, traveling between The Capital and Yushu City will be much more convenient, shortening the journey to within two hours.

Yushu City's transportation capacity will greatly improve. It will be easier for film crews and tourists to visit Yushu City in the future, and Yushu City's influence will cover more regions.

For Yushu City, this is definitely a rare development opportunity, and it is right for you to treat it so carefully."

Li Yanran instantly thought of many things. Lin Zifeng nodded and said, "The potential benefits are far more than that! That's why our Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government went to great lengths this time and spared no expense."

Just like that, the two ate, drank, and chatted, and the cozy dinner lasted for over an hour before ending.

After dinner, the two tidied up together. Li Yanran dutifully brewed tea, and then she and Lin Zifeng sat together in the Living Room, drinking tea and continuing their casual conversation.

"Darling, how confident are you that the jingnan high-speed railway line will pass through Yushu City?"

Li Yanran asked again.

"Although I don't have one hundred percent certainty, I am very confident about this matter.

If the jingnan high-speed railway line eventually passes through Yushu City, we plan to strive for two high-speed rail stations within Yushu City's borders.

One high-speed rail station will be established within five kilometers of the location of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, and the other high-speed rail station will be established in Heping Town, specifically in the central area between Heping Town, the Film and Television City, and the Yingjianzui Scenic Area.

Only in this way can the high-speed rail maximize its function in Yushu City."

Lin Zifeng said, chuckling.
