87: Spinning around naked is embarrassing everywhere.

Qian Dagang's eyes narrowed, feeling extremely displeased. He suppressed his smile and remained silent, wanting to hear what else Wu Dexing had to say.

Wan Guoliang nodded imperceptibly, signaling Wu Dexing to continue.

Wu Dexing paused to gather his thoughts before speaking again: "All leaders know that our Yushu Town is the face of our Yushu County.

The development of Yushu Town is the banner for the development of the entire county, and it is the benchmark for measuring Yushu County's progress.

Inspections and research by superior departments must all start from Yushu Town. Yushu Town is the mirror reflecting the development of our Yushu County.

Therefore, I hope the leaders will take all factors into consideration and prioritize the development of Yushu Town.

Certain Comrades should display some generosity for the sake of the county's overall situation."

After saying this, Wu Dexing glanced triumphantly at Lin Zifeng before sitting down.

None of the people sitting there were fools; they all understood the implication of Wu Dexing's words.

That is, he was dissatisfied with the suggestion Qian Dagang made, and clearly intended to use moral blackmail against Heping Town to directly seize the investment.

No matter how high-sounding his words were, he was utterly shameless.

Lin Zifeng was furious, and Wei Ting's face was livid with anger. She immediately stood up and said angrily, "Secretary Wu, I cannot agree with your perspective.

Why should we hand over the investment that Secretary Lin and the Comrades of Heping Town worked so hard to secure to your Yushu Town?

If Secretary Wu wants to develop Yushu Town's economy, then you should also lead people to attract investments, just like Secretary Lin!

If your Yushu Town needs development, does that mean our Heping Town doesn't?

Your argument is just like outright robbery. You want us to feed the meat into your mouth? What kind of logic is that?

Secretary Wu, aren't you afraid of others saying you're snatching the peach and enjoying the fruits of others' labor?"

Wei Ting, who had been suppressing her anger, unleashed the fury in her heart toward Wu Dexing like a machine gun.

Even Lin Zifeng hadn't expected this side of his partner—so powerful, like a little chili pepper.

He secretly gave Wei Ting a thumbs-up.

Wu Dexing was choked speechless, his face flushed red. He stood up and angrily shouted, "You!"

Lin Zifeng immediately stood up, shielding Wei Ting, and stared menacingly at Wu Dexing.

Feeling Lin Zifeng's protectiveness, Wei Ting felt a warmth in her heart, and she looked at Wu Dexing with shared indignation.

"What is going on? What is going on? Sit down, all of you."

Wan Guoliang spoke, and the three of them sat down again.

Wan Guoliang then spoke again: "Do any other Comrades have suggestions?"

Wu Dexing looked toward Executive Deputy County Mayor Xu Minghao with a pleading gaze.

Xu Minghao cleared his throat before saying, "Secretary, County Mayor, I think that while Comrade Dexing's words might have been slightly inappropriate, they are not entirely unreasonable.

After all, Yushu Town's geographical location is somewhat special!

I also hope the Comrades of Heping Town can consider the bigger picture and think carefully. We must all maintain the perspective of the entire county being one large chessboard.

If the matter succeeds, can Yushu Town appropriately provide some compensation to Heping Town? This would be a solution that satisfies both sides."

Lin Zifeng kept curling his lip internally. He had absolutely no respect for this Xu Minghao.

He knew clearly that the other party seemed to be mediating, but in reality, his bias was so extreme it was impossible to tell where it had landed.

He also knew that Xu Minghao and Wu Dexing must have communicated beforehand; otherwise, Xu Minghao wouldn't have taken a stand in this situation.

Lin Zifeng knew that if he didn't say something, this meeting would drag on indefinitely.

Therefore, without waiting for anyone else to speak, he stood up again.

"Secretary, County Mayor, leaders, I must emphasize that the reason we were able to secure this investment is because we started preparing in all aspects two months in advance.

The investments we attracted are precisely targeted and relevant.

One of the investors was interested in the 1,500 mu of peach orchard in our Heping Town, intending to build a factory near the peach production area to process canned peaches and fruit beverages.

As far as I know, besides our Heping Town, no other township in Yushu County has a peach orchard of this scale, right?

So, even if I brought them in front of you, what would you ask them to invest in?

Should we ask them to wait for several years until Secretary Wu organizes people to plant peach trees and harvest peaches before they invest in building a factory?"

Hearing this, many people who had been harboring ideas secretly congratulated themselves for not having spoken up. Otherwise, they would have ended up like Wu Dexing—unable to catch the fox and getting covered in its stench.

Wu Dexing said unwillingly, "Didn't you say there were two investors? What about the other project?"

"The other is a tourism development project. Our Secretary led people to visit all eleven villages in Heping Town, recording all the unique scenery and natural landforms through photos and videos."

Only then did they gain the favor of the investor, who decided to come to our Heping Town for an on-site inspection.

Furthermore, this investor is a friend of our Secretary, so there is a certain personal element involved."

Wei Ting replied to Wu Dexing with a hint of mockery.

The reason Wei Ting knew that Lin Zifeng and Chen Yuqing were friends was because she called Jiang Yufei almost every day to find out about their situation in the Provincial Capital.

Therefore, she deliberately revealed the relationship between Lin Zifeng and Chen Yuqing, solely to provoke Wu Dexing and those with ulterior motives.

Hearing Wei Ting's words, Wu Dexing felt like a complete clown, wishing the meeting would end immediately so he could leave this humiliating place.

He felt that every gaze directed at him was filled with ridicule.

Everyone else thought, this Lin Zifeng is quite cunning. He didn't say anything at first, waiting until Wu Dexing ran around naked and made a fool of himself everywhere before revealing the truth. This was truly crushing the spirit!

But Wu Dexing deserved it; who told him to harbor improper thoughts!

This time, he truly tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead.

Although Lin Zifeng is young, he is not someone to be trifled with, nor is he easily taken advantage of! Even the cunning Wu Dexing suffered a loss in front of him. They absolutely must not underestimate this young Secretary in the future.

Following this, the Enlarged Standing Committee Meeting became meaningless. Wan Guoliang and Qian Dagang offered a few words of encouragement to Lin Zifeng and Wei Ting, and the meeting adjourned.

Everyone walked out of the conference room. Zhang Yuhan specifically approached Lin Zifeng and Wei Ting and walked out with them.

The two quickly greeted Zhang Yuhan, and Zhang Yuhan responded with a kind smile.

The three arrived downstairs together, and Zhang Yuhan was the first to extend her hand to Lin Zifeng.

"Secretary Zifeng, you've done excellent work. I have high hopes for you, keep up the effort in the future."

"Whether in life or in office, there are times when you absolutely cannot yield, and I deeply appreciate your actions today."

"Thank you for the compliment, Minister Zhang. I will continue to work hard."

He said, smiling, while shaking hands with Zhang Yuhan.

Zhang Yuhan smiled and nodded, then shook Wei Ting's hand.

"Town Head Wei, you performed excellently in the meeting just now. You must show the spirit of a heroine who rivals men. Some people are incompetent yet constantly scheme for benefits; shutting them up until they are speechless is the right thing to do."

Hearing Zhang Yuhan's words, both of them couldn't help but chuckle.
