65: Chapter 65 The Fruits of Victory

What Sun Ning was doing now was the most fundamental function of the government.

He was exploring how to transform the Mishui Township Government from a rigid bureaucracy into a service-oriented one.

To put it bluntly, after the land for the Mishui Township commercial street was sold, the Mishui Township Government had already made a fortune.

As for how to sell those shops, that was the business of the Gongfan County Construction Company; by convention, Sun Ning was just meddling!

However, Sun Ning still hoped that the government would also work hard together to develop the economy of Mishui Township.

This was why he had recently been contacting small and medium-sized restaurants and hotels that other local governments looked down upon.

When the Mishui Township cross-shaped commercial street took shape, that would be the time for Sun Ning to promote it.

Last year, in a speech at a research seminar for high-level cadres, the top government leader first proposed the concept of a service-oriented government.

While the topic of how to implement a service-oriented government was widely debated, no one had truly humbled themselves to serve enterprises.

And what Sun Ning wanted to do was to set that example.

Once this matter was completed, it would be a very impressive achievement, and Sun Ning's name might reach the ears of the bigwigs in the Provincial Government.

When the time was ripe, Sun Ning would have both political achievements and a reputation; with a little maneuvering, a promotion would be a logical next step.

As for models like a one-stop service center, now was not the time.

Boss Wang heard these words and looked at Sun Ning with a chuckle.

This boss looked kind-faced and unassuming, not at all like a big boss who owned two hotels in Zhongzhou.

He said with a smile, "Township Head Sun is indeed as the rumors say. As a native of Mishui Township, I am truly happy to have such a parent-official."

"Everyone says that if Township Head Sun were in business, you would surely become wealthy. Today, I will trust the Township Head just this once!"

An old fox!

This was Sun Ning's first impression of Boss Wang.

However, Sun Ning understood him very well; this was the survival strategy of a small businessman.

Facing all kinds of exploitation, it was truly too difficult for them!

Their subconscious ability to curry favor with administrative personnel and climb the social ladder was quite remarkable!

Even though he was extremely tempted to invest in Gongfan County, he insisted on putting on an expression of "I will listen to the Township Head."

"Haha, then Mishui Township welcomes Boss Wang's investment!"

"Township Head Sun, can you give a discount on the land price?"

"Easy to talk about, easy to talk about! Everything will be done according to policy."

For small amounts of land like this, it was difficult for the township to go through the bidding, auction, and listing process; it was more often done through negotiated transfer.

After all, the township's competitiveness was too low, and with no one competing, it didn't meet the requirements for the bidding, auction, and listing process.

Negotiated transfers still had to comply with the benchmark land prices announced by Gongfan County.

Sun Ning was not about to make a mistake in this area.

He would only provide tax deductions and exemptions according to Gongfan County's investment promotion policies.

Sun Ning's initial contact had come to a perfect conclusion, and Boss Wang had agreed to the investment.

After Boss Wang took his leave, Sun Ning stood by the window, holding his tea and looking out.

He had originally just wanted to take a break, but he hadn't expected to see a scene he had anticipated.

In the courtyard of the Township Government, two people were supporting Li Jincai, with another person walking behind, as they headed toward a black Santana.

Sun Ning thought to himself, "Such speed."

He made a call to Zhu Zihao: "How are things over at Dayang Company? When can they return the money to our account?"

At this point, don't even mention statutory priority claims.

Sun Ning had worked so hard on these matters, not to make a wedding dress for someone else.

He just hadn't expected the efficiency of the Discipline Inspection Commission to be so high.

He didn't know if Wang Dabiao had been called away by the Discipline Inspection Commission to assist with the investigation.

Yesterday morning, Zhu Zihao had reported to him that the evidence of Wang Dabiao's crimes had been collected.

Sun Ning had then instructed Zhu Zihao to hand over the collected evidence to Tian Xiaojun.

And he arranged for Zhu Zihao to find a way to make Wang Dabiao cough up the money.

For this kind of thing, the Police Station had endless methods.

If they couldn't get the money back while Wang Dabiao was at the Police Station...

Once Wang Dabiao entered the Discipline Inspection Commission, they would really have to rely on statutory priority claims.

Even if Dayang Company had ample funds and enough money to compensate, it would still take about half a year to recover those funds after all the procedures.

Mishui Township couldn't afford to wait half a year.

On the phone, Zhu Zihao said, "Sorry, Township Head, I will speed up the progress on my end."

"Hmm, before he is taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission, make them pay the liquidated damages and the engineering payments made in the early stages according to the contract."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Ning looked at the scene before him again.

Li Jincai was practically half-carried into the car.

He must have been so scared that his legs had gone weak and he couldn't walk.

Next, he dialed Secretary Wang Shengli's number.

"County Head, do you have any plans for the evening? Would you like to come out for a drink?"

Recently, Sun Ning and Secretary Wang Shengli had been in frequent contact, exchanging information about the case against Vice-County Mayor Pi Yingshi, and their relationship had been growing daily.

The matter regarding the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection's secret Investigation Team had also been reported to him by Secretary Wang Shengli.

It was called a secret Investigation Team, but it certainly couldn't escape the eyes of the two Wangs.

This battle was coming to an end, and it was time to divide the fruits of victory; Sun Ning was going to find Secretary Wang Shengli to claim his reward.

Although he did this matter more for revenge, and to punish those who had been doing evil,

but being able to claim some of the fruits of victory, why not do it!

In the afternoon, Sun Ning left a little early and drove to Gongfan County alone.

The next two days were the weekend, and Sun Ning planned to stay in Gongfan County for the weekend, so he didn't bring a driver.

Sun Ning had arranged the dinner location at a quiet private kitchen in Gongfan County.

Of course, this was also something Sun Ning had asked about by calling the County Government's first secretary in advance.

Secretary Wang Shengli quite liked the food here, so he had asked Sun Ning to arrange it here.

Sun Ning had just ordered a few dishes that Secretary Wang Shengli liked when Secretary Wang Shengli arrived at the private room.

After some pleasantries, Secretary Wang Shengli finally took his seat.

"County Head, congratulations. The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection coming down secretly, I'm afraid it wasn't just aimed at the County Commission for Discipline Inspection's violations and disciplinary issues, right?"

"Haha..."

Looking at Secretary Wang Shengli's appearance, he was practically beaming with joy.

It made sense; not only did the County Government have Vice Mayor Wang Pingan's people, but this person was also a Standing Committee member and Vice-County Mayor.

This kind of thing was as disgusting as it could get.

Now Vice-County Mayor Pi Yingshi was like a grasshopper in late autumn; he wouldn't be able to jump around for much longer.

His mood could be imagined!

After laughing for a while, Secretary Wang Shengli sighed: "Vice-County Mayor Pi Yingshi deserves his punishment, but as for the position of Standing Committee member and Vice-County Mayor, who knows who will get it!"

It was clear that Secretary Wang Shengli did not have much confidence in the upcoming maneuvers.

However, Sun Ning hadn't expected Secretary Wang Shengli's candor.

Could this be the friendship of 'having shared the spoils' together?

Sun Ning knew that Secretary Wang Shengli had the intention of getting closer, but it was more about testing the connections behind him.

Now the two of them were in the same boat, and in the future, they would be in the same boat for a long time.

It wasn't that Sun Ning hadn't considered Vice Mayor Wang Pingan.

It was just that he didn't like Vice Mayor Wang Pingan's work style, nor did he like Vice Mayor Wang Pingan's key subordinates.

And he liked Vice Mayor Wang Pingan's chief secretary even less!

Gradually, he had gotten closer to Secretary Wang Shengli.

"County Head, these things cannot be forced; just do your best!"

"I came today to request support from the County Government."

"Mishui Township is too busy right now, with two positions suddenly vacant; we need strong support from the leadership!"
