I just joined the inspection department, and the whole country is in a panic.

“Okay, then I’ll buy a car!” Yang Zixuan said with a smile.

As time went by.

Yang Wen's daughter is also on summer vacation.

So his wife, along with their daughter and son, lived in Liuhai City.

Just as I had guessed, my son did indeed get a high score and was admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University.

After discussion, Yang Zixuan decided to apply to Tsinghua University!

After resolving her child's schooling issue, Yang Wen refocused on her work.

Of course, he still tries to spend as much time as possible with his two children and wife outside of work.

I probably won't have time to go on a trip with them.

But I can definitely find the time to spend with them in Liuhai City!

At the meeting that day.

Yang Wen and Zhuo Wen listened to the work reports from various units for the first half of the year.

Soon it was Song Lin's turn to report from the finance department.

"Secretary Yang, Mayor Zhuo, and other leaders, the GDP data for the first two quarters of this year for Liuhai City has been released."

"The first quarter's figures were 1322.6 billion!"

"The second quarter's figure is 1367.1 billion!"

"That's a total of 2689.7 billion!"

"Our fiscal revenue for the first half of the year was 203.2 billion yuan!"

"Our spending on people's livelihood in the first two quarters of the first half of the year was..." Song Lin then rattled off a series of data.

Upon hearing this, neither Yang Wen nor Zhuo Wen showed any smiles, especially Zhuo Wen, whose expression became somewhat serious.

Last year, Liuhai City's GDP was 5290 billion!

Given that the company only generated 2689.7 billion yuan in revenue in the first two quarters of this year, there is unlikely to be much growth in the second half of the year!

"There are still two quarters left in the second half of the year. What kind of GDP revenue do you estimate you can achieve?" Zhuo Wen asked Song Lin in a deep voice.

What is our projected GDP target for this year?

How much will it increase compared to last year?

Faced with Zhuo Wen's questioning, Song Lin felt a lot of pressure.

"Mayor, based on the actual situation of the first two quarters and our current forecasts, we are likely to achieve a GDP of around 2700 billion in the second half of the year."

"According to the forecast, our GDP this year will increase by about 100 billion compared to last year!" Song Lin reported truthfully, looking at the forecast data in his hand.

"So, our GDP this year is probably around 5390 billion?" Zhuo Wen asked.

"Yes." Song Lin nodded.

"If this forecast holds true, then the GDP growth rate of Liuhai City this year will be very slow!"

"A mere 100 billion in growth!"

"Too little!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

In recent years, the economic development of Liuhai City has been facing a bottleneck.

Not only this year, but the GDP growth rate in previous years has also been very slow.

However, this year's growth has reached a record low!

One reason is that the current economic environment is different.

The second reason is due to Liuhai City itself.

To be honest, Yang Wen was slightly disappointed with this growth rate; perhaps only 100 billion more this year.

After all, this wasn't the data he wanted.

He made so many big moves, but unexpectedly this year there have been no changes in the data, and it is even declining and cannot be stopped!

"We must maintain GDP growth and development in the second half of this year."

"It's a disgrace that we only grew by 100 billion compared to last year. I hope that by the end of the year we will grow by more than 100 billion, at least 150 billion! I hope everyone will work together to make a concerted effort for economic development!" Yang Wen chimed in.

"More than 50 billion, with a little effort, we should be able to achieve that, right?"

"I hope everyone will continue to work hard on our investment promotion plan for the second half of the year."

"Comrade Zhuo Wen, I hope you will take this matter seriously. We can't always focus on large and medium-sized enterprises. Micro and small enterprises are also our targets and the solid foundation of our economy..." Yang Wen said.

"Secretary Yang, rest assured, I will personally oversee the investment promotion efforts in the second half of the year, and strive to increase our GDP by more than 150 billion yuan by the end of this year compared to last year!" Zhuo Wen nodded solemnly.

After the meeting ended.

Zhuo Wen caught up with Yang Wen.

"Secretary Yang, our GDP figures for this year are likely to look very bad."

"The growth is only a mere 10 billion. In some developed counties, a sudden surge can result in growth of several billion or even tens of billions."

"Our huge city has only grown by 10 billion..."

To be honest, this data is terrible!

Upon hearing this, Yang Wen stopped in his tracks.

“You know the situation in Liuhai City. We’ve hit a bottleneck. It’s almost impossible for us to get good data this year,” Yang Wen said, waving his hand.

"Secretary Yang, should we slightly inflate the figures? For example, try to reach 200 billion?" Zhuo Wen asked in a low voice.

to be honest.

The actual increase is 100 billion or 150 billion.

To make it look better, and to avoid looking too bad, they directly fabricated a little bit of the data, reaching 200 billion!

Upon hearing this, Yang Wen's expression darkened slightly, and he said sternly, "Old Zhuo, others may do this kind of thing, and other places may do it, but we cannot do it!"

In fact, this practice is probably common in many places.

Slightly fake it to inflate the price.

As long as it's not excessive, the higher-ups might turn a blind eye.

There was even a more arrogant guy a few years ago.

He falsified tens of billions of yuan in GDP data every year. After he left office, the local GDP dropped by a third, causing the local GDP ranking to plummet from within the top ten to below the teens or twenties.

Further investigation revealed a large amount of counterfeiting, which had been going on year after year.

In the end, didn't he still go in?

Therefore, this thing must not be touched!

"It may look bad, but we don't need to take any risks," Yang Wen waved his hand.

"Not doing it this way? But... everyone is actually secretly a little bit superficial." Zhuo Wen was an experienced person, so he naturally knew that this situation existed.

"Others are others, and we are us. Don't forget, the guy surnamed Feng is secretly targeting us. And now that we've joined Fang Yu's forces, any mistakes we make, even the smallest ones, will be magnified!" Yang Wen waved his hand and said.

“That’s true, then let’s not do this.” Zhuo Wen’s expression also turned serious.

"Let me tell you, not only can't you do it, but you also need to make sure that the people below you are honest and report whatever data they are. By the way, even if Fang Yu tells us to do it this way, we can't do it this way!" Yang Wen said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Wen seemed to understand something.

"Secretary Yang, don't worry, I know what to do. I was just confused and came up with such a foolish idea. Please don't mind it," Zhuo Wen said.
