Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Chapter 754 What's there to worry about... Victory is assured

In the end, no one could persuade Yang Jianguo to prepare a minibus as he instructed.

I packed several bottles of mineral water, instant noodles, bread, and also prepared a few coats, changes of clothes, rubber shoes, and blankets in the car.

Various tools that might be needed were also placed under the seat.

Two drivers, two guides, and an undercover officer all got into the car with him.

As soon as he got into the car, the plainclothes officer's eyes were fixed on Ma Kun.

This person looks unremarkable, but he gives off the feeling that he is the most dangerous person in the group.

It seems he is the leader's secret bodyguard.

"Alright, everyone go back. It's not like we're going to the Gobi Desert. We're not going to lose contact."

Even the most remote villages and towns are only a few hours away, so nothing serious is likely to happen.

Besides, Yang Jianguo came to conduct research and investigation, not to pick a fight or anything like that.

The main focus is on customs and landforms, and there won't be much conflict or interaction with people, so there's no need to worry too much.

Knowing this, the local leaders agreed to his request with peace of mind.

Otherwise, even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare risk letting Yang Jianguo get even the slightest injury.

"Set off."

The car started, and the night shift driver, being very considerate, did not choose to close the door. Instead, he waited until all the leaders had left and all the necessary procedures had been completed before getting up to close the door.

Our first stop is the city center.

Before going down, he needed to first understand the overall situation of the mountain city so that he could have a standard for comparison and reference.

How much is the difference, where is the biggest difference, and is it related to policy?

Why did this difference occur, what measures were taken locally, and how can it be improved and remedied?

This is the work that Yang Jianguo has to do.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and the minibus that departed from the government building was now just a muddy shell.

Apart from the windshield in front of the driver's cab, which was kept relatively clean, the window where Yang Jianguo was sitting had a frosted finish, allowing him to vaguely see the outside.

The rest of the parts were covered with a layer of mud two or three millimeters thick.

No one would believe it if you said it was a government inspection team; they must have just come back from rolling around in the African savanna.

The people in the car were also travel-worn.

For two months, I barely had a comfortable shower, let alone a good night's sleep.

Drivers who used to be light sleepers can now fall asleep as soon as their heads touch the seat cushion, no matter how bad the road is or how much the car shakes, they will still sleep soundly.

If I don't sleep now, the road conditions might get worse, and if something else happens, I won't be able to sleep at all.

"Boss, we'll be at the guesthouse in half an hour."

The driver in front of him, whose face was sallow and covered with a layer of yellow dust, turned around and smiled happily at him.

As I approached my destination, I imagined taking a nice hot shower and then lying comfortably in bed for a good night's sleep.

The joy I felt was indescribable.

Even the Lunar New Year can't compare to this; I miss my own bed so much.

"Okay, drive slowly, there's no rush at this point."

"Don't worry!"

The driver moved forward at a steady speed; although he was anxious, his hands moved without any sign of panic.

He knew exactly what to do and what was most important.

The mission was about to be completed smoothly, just one step away from success. If something goes wrong at this crucial moment...

You'll regret it to the core.

He knew without being told that 'safety' was the most important thing.

"Boss, would you like to take a break? I'll call you when we get there."

Compared to before, Yang Min, whose skin was darker, who was thinner, and whose appearance was somewhat disheveled but who looked very energetic, looked at Yang Jianguo with concern.

He was the busiest person during these two months.

Everyone else was busy traveling, so food and lodging were inconvenient, and they had to endure various complicated situations.

But not only do their own leaders have to endure these things, they also have to oversee the entire work process.

They conducted on-site investigations, measured the area with their own feet, communicated with local people, and explored the population, family wealth, and other information by walking through the streets and alleys.

The most dangerous time was when he was almost buried by a mudslide.

And those villagers who don't understand the law and live deep in the mountains are like bandits in Yang Min's eyes.

Mistakenly believing they had ill intentions, some people immediately grabbed hoes and hit themselves on the head.

If her superiors hadn't stopped her, she would have died in these mountains long ago.

In short, this trip was more eventful and bizarre than anything Yang Min had experienced in her many years of work, and it broadened her horizons and increased her knowledge.

At the same time, I also understand why my boss is always better than others.

Anyone who goes through this process, like him, will benefit greatly.

Meanwhile, their own leader has been constantly going down to inspect and visit people ever since he started working...

Looking at the yellow earth between his brows, his bright eyes still couldn't hide the fatigue on his face, and his once upright posture was now slightly hunched.

Yang Min was truly heartbroken. Such a good leader and such a good comrade—any loss of them would be an unbearable blow to the entire organization and even the country.

If there were more people like him, more comrades who walk alongside him, carrying dreams and a heart dedicated to the well-being of the people.

With a prosperous motherland, how can the people not be happy?

"No need, just looking at these makes me not tired at all."

Yang Jianguo patted the table in front of him, which had been modified, and there were documents that were at least forty or fifty centimeters thick.

And the seat next to him, also piled high with two stacks of documents.

Half of these were handwritten by him over two months, working day and night.

Yang Jianguo really put in a lot of effort for this trip, even using several 'cards' to ensure his health.

It was him; if it were an ordinary person, their body would have been ruined by all the stress at his age.

Where would they find the capacity to conduct any research or investigation?

The results were also gratifying. They traveled to every corner of the mountain city, went deep into the community to understand the needs of the people, and truly knew every place inside and out.

Yang Jianguo can say with certainty that even if the local leaders came to him, they wouldn't understand the situation under their jurisdiction as well as he, an outsider.

With this information and experience, Yang Jianguo finally reached a conclusion.

How should we develop and how can we boost the economies of various regions? Which places are suitable for industrial development, which places are suitable for agricultural development, and which areas should we expand outwards and bring inwards?

Yang Jianguo is confident of victory!

Chapter 755 Yang Min's Performance After a Long Journey

"I'm coming."

At the entrance of the guesthouse, the cadres, who had learned in advance that they were returning, were overjoyed to see the minibus slowly approaching.

But after they could see the mud covering the outside of the car clearly, they looked at the license plate in front of it.

Thick mud covered the straw, and it was even unclear whether the license plate was still there. Was this really the car Yang Jianguo rode in when he went down to inspect?

Gah!

The minibus stopped at the entrance, the door opened, and a cloud of dry yellow dust wafted out, the strong smell of earth making the city-based leaders feel quite uncomfortable.

Then, looking travel-worn and more haggard than he had been two months ago, Yang Jianguo got out of the car.

His eyes were firm, and his face, covered in yellow earth, was etched with fatigue, yet it could not conceal his energetic fighting spirit.

That fighting spirit infected everyone present in an instant.

This made them unconsciously suppress their smiles, straighten their chests, and their casual movements become restrained and serious.

A sense of déjà vu washes over you as you attend an important occasion, meet a high-ranking leader, and await inspection.

But this was only a fleeting experience. The next moment, Yang Jianguo put away his imposing manner and became kind and approachable, as if he were an honest and kind man from the countryside.

However, this man was a bit better looking and younger.

"Comrade Jianguo, we've finally been waiting for you to come back."

"Thank you all for your hard work. We know you've been waiting a long time! The car has been to too many places and has a lot of problems, so it took a little longer to get back."

This time was more than forty minutes later than the time they had notified each other.

"It's not too late, it's not too late. We're just standing here and complaining about how hard it is. You're the one who's really working hard."

"Old Yu, stop arguing and let the comrades go in, wash up, and get some rest."

"Ah, right, look at my brain."

He slapped his forehead and said quickly, "Comrade Jianguo, you all need to rest. The boss will be at our meeting tonight too."

His bosses were the two leaders in charge.

It seems that his actions have caused quite a stir, and the two leaders must be curious about what he has gained.

"Okay, I'm even more looking forward to the meeting this afternoon."

Yang Jianguo didn't waste any time and led his men into the guesthouse.

Before entering the room, he specifically instructed that the two drivers and accompanying personnel be properly arranged, saying, "These people have followed me all over the mountain city, and they haven't had a single day where they ate or slept well."

Just because we're guests and they're the hosts doesn't mean we can ignore them. Letting these comrades take a good shower and get a good night's sleep isn't too much to ask, is it?

"Boss, look at what you're saying, is this even a big deal? Everything has been arranged, I guarantee they can take a nice, relaxing shower and sleep soundly until they naturally wake up."

With this guarantee, Yang Jianguo was very satisfied. "I'm listening carefully. If I hear that the situation is not as you said, I'll ask you for clarification in front of your leaders."

Talking about heaven and earth is not as effective as putting your rice bowl to work.

Yang Jianguo believed that his comrades who had been following him for two months would be able to get a good night's sleep.

"Everyone, take a break while you can, there's another tough battle to fight this afternoon."

How can we prove that this data is authentic and valid, persuade the leaders in charge to accept the suggestions, and determine whether the development plan they have formulated is feasible?

How to achieve these goals is the question they need to consider next.

They endured hardship and put in the necessary effort.

How to ensure these efforts don't turn out to be a waste of time depends on how well we perform this afternoon.

Whether Yang Jianguo's sharp tongue can persuade the officials in charge is the key.

After taking a hot shower, Yang Jianguo didn't have time to enjoy it much.

I quickly tidied myself up, dried my hair with a towel until it was half dry, wound up the alarm clock, and lay down in bed to fall asleep.

The moment his head hit the pillow, he passed out; that's how quickly he fell into a coma.

It's not that he has good sleep quality.

I've been working so hard lately, and the long-accumulated fatigue has finally dissipated, and I'm now snuggled up in the soft, comfortable mattress.

That feeling of drowsiness immediately came over me.

In fact, it wasn't just him; the situation was similar in every room.

Even Yang Min, who is usually a light sleeper, was now slightly opening her mouth and emitting soft snores.

The soles of her feet, dangling by the bedside, were covered with calluses from broken blisters.

Looking at these feet, who would guess that they belong to a young woman?

This visit not only allowed Yang Jianguo to learn about the local customs, topography, geology, people's property, and local characteristics of the mountain city.
