Chapter 319: Chapter 193: With your level, you’re not qualified to talk about the big picture!_3
“But last time your Operations Department’s Old Tan came to me for something, he mentioned it. He said that the Governor’s Mansion is planning the seventy-fourth expansion campaign, preparing to build seven more Barrier Cities, and open up more than five transportation lines.”
Wei Zheguang squinted his eyes, a major expansion campaign?
In the past history of Heng Province, there have been dozens of such campaigns, some successful and some failed.
The purpose is simple: to respond to the national policy of the Dongxia Kingdom, ensure that the newly recovered New Star is no longer polluted, and stabilize the suppression of the reproduction of affiliated biological species.
“This means that Heng Province will soon enter a full wartime state.”
Wei Zheguang couldn’t help but get excited. Every major expansion campaign means that all major departments, especially the front line, will have open access to resources. For ambitious activists like him, this is good news.
He looked at the black cars driving into the underground garage like a long dragon. Those were the big figures who held the power of resource allocation.
Government Affairs Building, Meeting Room No. 1.
In about twenty minutes, the dozens of seats outside were already full.
Everyone was dressed formally, with serious expressions, hardly whispering to each other, making it extremely quiet.
All their eyes were fixed on the tall red door several meters high on the right-hand side.
Behind it was the conference hall.
According to usual practice, the general representatives, who were the heads of the Inspection Department and the Education Commission, would discuss and agree on a direction before coming out to vote.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the conference hall was even more oppressive than outside, even somewhat tense.
The nine single sofas respectively seated Chen Ruofu from the Inspection Department, Fang Butang from the Education Commission, and Xu Sheng, the inspector serving as the Chief Examiner of the Top 100 Competition.
There were also Zhou Shu from the Central City Education Department and Li Min from the Heng Province Martial Arts Association.
“Choosing Qin Shi as the Supernova of the Tai’an Metropolitan Area, is this the joint opinion of Minister Chen and Commissioner Fang?”
Zhou Shu lowered his head, holding a tea cup with both hands, and said in a deep voice:
“Have you two considered choosing someone else? In a sense, Dangyang East Suburb hasn’t been fully incorporated into Tai’an. Mr. Qin came from Old Factory Street and should be considered a Dangyang person. If the Tai’an Metropolitan Area wants to nominate a Supernova, it could choose someone more ‘pure’ Tai’an.”
“I’ve already said it once. Qin Shi’s election as the Supernova of the Tai’an Region is well-deserved. He came first in the Top 100 Competition, his achievements are undeniable; and he is also a student of our Tai’an New Star High School, a benchmark for the vast student body. There is no one more suitable than Qin Shi!”
Zhou Shu thought of the orders from the Education Department and had to make his tone firmer:
“Minister Chen, I think…”
“I don’t want to hear what you think! Representative Zhou, Tai’an’s governmental decisions are none of your business! What you think is of no use!”
Fang Butang, who usually liked to play the nice guy, unexpectedly showed a tough side this time.
“Commissioner Fang, Central City Education Department indeed does not interfere in Tai’an’s internal affairs, but the major expansion is imminent, which is the strategy set by the Governor. According to the principle of unified wartime resource allocation, the Education Department can decide the resource shares of the Tai’an Metropolitan Area for the next six years, especially the Education Commission.”
Zhou Shu was not to be outdone. Since he dared to enter the Government Affairs Building to attend this general representative meeting, he naturally came prepared, holding significant leverage.
“I hope you two put the overall situation first and do not obstruct the progress of other students in Tai’an due to personal feelings.”
Chen Ruofu laughed coldly at these words. He stood up, stood under the giant Heng Province map, and said unceremoniously:
“With your level, you are not qualified to talk about the overall situation with me! I will tell you one last time, Tai’an’s overall situation prioritizes Qin Shi! If the Education Department tries to interfere, I, Chen Ruofu, will fight you to the end. Six years can be long, or they can be short!
If Tai’an is subjected to any deliberate suppression during the major expansion, my voice may not reach Hai Province, or the Imperial Capital, but it will definitely reach the Governor’s Mansion!”
Fang Butang also stood up, pointed at Zhou Shu: Newest update provided by novel-fire.ɴet
“Unrelated persons are not allowed to attend the meeting! This is Tai’an’s rule! Please leave. And by the way, tell the one behind you, the brightness of the Martial Arts Scorching Sun will never be dimmed by a few clouds.
Zhou Yuanchen has already lost, who else can the Education Department bring out?”
