Chapter 492: Chapter 492: The Gratitude of the County Mayor

Several officials left the private room with their heads hanging low, originally believing they had a chance for promotion, only to end up terrified!

They were very confused in their hearts, Deputy Mayor Li was Huang Xinyu’s backer, how could he suddenly change his stance and start to support Hu Zhangguo?

After stepping out of the private room, everyone turned their gaze toward Cao Zhixiong with questioning looks in their eyes.

It was only he who had spoken on the phone with Deputy Mayor Li, so he should understand the situation.

A hint of reverence flashed through Cao Zhixiong’s eyes. He glanced at everyone and said in a heavy voice, "I don’t know about other things, but I could tell from Deputy Mayor Li’s tone that he was pressured by someone from above, with no choice but to help Hu Zhangguo! You can think about it, who would have that kind of power?"

Upon hearing this, everyone’s heart skipped a beat, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.

Deputy Mayor Li was the second-in-command of East Sea City. To have the ability to pressure a deputy mayor like him, one’s position must surely be higher than his, and that person was almost revealing themselves!

"Could it be... Mayor Jiang?" someone said softly.

The faces of the crowd changed, and they all fell silent.

They already had the answer in their hearts; it was just spoken by someone else.

"That’s right, it’s Mayor Jiang."

Cao Zhixiong nodded solemnly, affirming the fact.

At this moment, his face was ashen, his heart filled with helplessness. He had been the most lively before, and his end was likely to be the most miserable!

It seemed that Hu Zhangguo wasn’t taking action against him now because there was still a poverty alleviation plan to be implemented.

Once the poverty alleviation plan was successfully enacted, his fate would be difficult to predict.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, never having imagined that the person standing behind Hu Zhangguo would be Mayor Jiang Jianguo himself. No wonder he was able to firmly pressure Deputy Mayor Li to abandon his capable subordinate, Huang Xinyu.

Thinking of how they had opposed Hu Zhangguo every day before, they felt a chill of fear.

It was fortunate that Hu Zhangguo had not taken their actions personally; otherwise, they wouldn’t even know how they died! From now on, they would need to make a good impression on County Chief Hu.

"It seems we have all misjudged. Hu Zhangguo, usually so quiet, has secured Mayor Jiang as a powerful supporter. We must never offend him again and must fully implement County Chief Hu’s poverty alleviation policies, thoroughly carrying out the poverty alleviation transformation of Cangling County."

...

While everyone was thinking of currying favor with Hu Zhangguo, Hu Zhangguo himself was astonished by Ye Xuan’s identity.

This young man was extremely mysterious and unpredictable. A single phone call to Mayor Jiang resolved everything! Not only did he sanction Huang Xinyu, but he also ensured the successful implementation of the poverty alleviation policies Hu Zhangguo had been dreaming of.

Happiness came too suddenly, leaving Hu Zhangguo dazed until it took him a long while to come to his senses.

At this moment, Hu Zhangguo realized clearly that from now on, there might no longer be anyone in Cangling County who would oppose him! He would have full control to implement the poverty alleviation policies without any obstacles.

Hu Zhangguo was thrilled!

Even more so, he could already envision the endless possibilities for Cangling County after its poverty alleviation and enrichment.

And all of this was brought to him by the young man before him.

"Ye Xuan, you’ve helped me tremendously, I don’t even know how to thank you!"

Hu Zhangguo grasped Ye Xuan’s hand, his face full of excitement.

Ye Xuan smiled and said, "County Chief Hu, you are too kind. I just taught a scumbag a lesson and incidentally dealt with a bunch of scumbags."

Ye Xuan still had a good impression of this county chief.

Nowadays, an official who wholeheartedly works hard, doesn’t seek rewards, and dedicates himself to the people was indeed too rare! Hence, such a county chief deserved respect.

"No matter what, the development of Cangling County is all your doing. On behalf of the people of Cangling County, I thank you."

Hu Zhangguo said with a face full of sincerity, after which he bowed to thank Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan felt helpless and quickly stepped forward to lift him up.

The two chatted briefly, and Ye Xuan prepared to say goodbye and leave.

He had been inside for almost an hour, and Su Yumo was still waiting for him in the car, and they needed to return to East Sea.

Given that so much had happened today, and with Hu Zhangguo having a lot to deal with, he didn’t retain Ye Xuan and personally walked him to the teahouse entrance.

After bidding farewell to Hu Zhangguo, Ye Xuan headed to the parking lot.

Before he could get in the car, he saw from afar that Su Yumo was standing outside the car, looking anxiously in his direction.

And seeing that Ye Xuan was safe and sound, Su Yumo finally let go of the worry she had been carrying!

"Ye Xuan, Deputy County Chief Huang didn’t give you a hard time, did he? I saw so many police officers going in, and then many injured people being carried out, what exactly happened inside?"

Su Yumo hurried over and threw out a number of questions.

Ye Xuan thought for a moment and didn’t tell her about the village chief being beaten, only saying that Huang Xinyu had violated laws and regulations and had been arrested by the police in the end.

"Is that all?"

Su Yumo frowned slightly, somewhat disbelieving.

If it had only been the arrest of Huang Xinyu, why were there so many injured people? This guy must be hiding something from her!

"Hehe, of course not! There’s also a piece of absolutely fantastic news, you’ll definitely be pleased when you hear it," Ye Xuan said with a smile.

"What news?"

Ye Xuan smiled and said, "The policy for poverty alleviation and wealth creation for Cangling County, proposed by County Chief Hu, has been approved by the mayor. The poverty alleviation renovation funds will be allocated in the next few days, with Yellow Stone Creek Village as the focus for development, a model for poverty alleviation, undergoing comprehensive transformation. How’s that for a surprise?"

"Are you serious?"

As expected, upon hearing this, Su Yumo’s face lit up with surprise, as she grabbed Ye Xuan’s sleeve and asked.

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"

Ye Xuan chuckled and said, "Once the funds are allocated, County Chief Hu will soon organize construction personnel to carry out large-scale construction and renovation in Cangling County! Yellow Stone Creek Village will also be a key model village, stepping on the path to poverty alleviation and wealth creation."

"Ye Xuan, thank you!"

"Why are you thanking me?"

"Although you haven’t said it, I know all of this was done by you, right?"

Su Yumo looked at Ye Xuan earnestly as she spoke.

Uh...

Ye Xuan touched his nose, wondering how he managed to look so much like a good guy that it was so easy for her to guess.

Intending to be modest, Ye Xuan spouted off playfully, "How could I have such ability? It was Huang Xinyu who violated the rules, calling a deputy mayor of the city bureau, trying to get us punished! But unexpectedly, County Chief Hu made a call to Mayor Jiang, completely turning the situation around. After understanding the full situation, it was Mayor Jiang who decided to implement the poverty alleviation policy."

"Stop it! If County Chief Hu knew Mayor Jiang, the poverty alleviation funds wouldn’t have been delayed repeatedly, and Cangling County would have been built up a long time ago," Su Yumo said.

"Ah, it’s no fun being so easily figured out by you! Alright, alright, I admit, it was all my doing. I was going to keep you in suspense, but it seems you’re not so easy to fool, you big silly girl, huh?"

Ye Xuan said half-jokingly.

"You’re the silly one! Hehe..."

Su Yumo rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan, but happily laughed.
