In particular, Guangming County has made even smoother progress after the previous turmoil.
But Mu Chen didn't turn his head.
He simply gave a perfunctory "hmm" in response.
His eyes remained fixed on the map in front of him.
Behind him, the secretary continued, "Chairman Gao Qiqiang of Qiangsheng Group is waiting outside. The final decision on the core power system plan needs to be made by you."
"He didn't dare to make the decision on his own."
Hear this.
Mu Chen finally showed some reaction.
He said, "Let him in."
soon.
The door opened again, and Gao Qiqiang strode in. His sharp dark suit couldn't hide the weariness and seriousness between his brows.
He walked to Mu Chen's side, holding a thick set of engineering blueprints in his hand.
"Boss, the final report on the core power system is out, but it's even more challenging than we anticipated..."
Gao Qiqiang spoke quickly and handed the plan in his hand to Mu Chen.
"The expert group's opinion is that we should pile up materials as much as possible to ensure safety and stability."
"Conservative estimate."
"It will take at least another month."
Mu Chen's brows furrowed immediately.
He looked at the proposal that Gao Qiqiang handed over.
"A month?"
Mu Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an invisible pressure that made the air in the office freeze instantly.
"too long."
Gao Qiqiang's back tensed instantly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He knew all too well the weight of Mu Chen's words.
"No need for a month! Just half a month!"
Gao Qiqiang quickly changed his tune.
But on the other side.
Mu Chen's gaze fixed on him, and that scrutinizing look made Gao Qiqiang feel that every second was incredibly long.
Finally, Mu Chen withdrew his gaze and turned it back to the winding red trunk line on the map.
He said, "Half a month is still too long."
"I understand the problem here. I'll send you a more detailed solution later."
Within five days.
"Get it done!"

Meanwhile.
Beijing.
Inside a study, the atmosphere was elegant and serene, with the gentle fragrance of sandalwood incense wafting through the air.
This is the Zhong family home!
Zhong Xiaoai's Zhong family!
A man in his fifties or sixties, but who looked only forty or fifty and in his prime, sat in the chair.
He looked at Zhong Xiaoai sitting opposite him.
He began by saying, "Xiao Ai."
The sound of Zhong Xiaoai's father's voice instantly made Zhong Xiaoai pay full attention.
He looked calmly at his father: "Dad?"
"In Handong, Zhao Lichun has fallen."
Mr. Zhong put down his teacup, the bottom of which made a soft sound as it hit the rosewood tabletop, like some kind of signal.
"Mu Chen is personally carrying out the operation; he's already at the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection."
This news was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake. Zhong Xiaoai paused almost imperceptibly, a fleeting look of extreme surprise crossing her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by deeper contemplation.
She frowned slightly, seemingly processing the information brought about by this sudden political upheaval.
Mr. Zhong took in his daughter’s subtle reactions, a hint of barely perceptible approval flashing in his eyes.
Although her daughter chose a good-for-nothing husband.
But Zhong Xiaoai's manners satisfied him.
He nodded and continued, "The Zhao family has been entrenched in Handong for many years, and their influence is deep-rooted."
"Now that this big tree has fallen, it has left behind more than just a vacancy for the position of executive vice governor."
"That's a complete reshaping of the power structure, a reshuffling of the development pattern of Handong over the next ten or even twenty years!"
"Mu Chen is indeed a special envoy, and he is indeed unshakeable in Handong, but he cannot stay there for long."
“Once the pilot project is on track, he will inevitably withdraw.”
"The provincial party committee and government of Handong need a strong new core that can truly control the overall situation."
Zhong Xiaoai's father's gaze suddenly became incredibly sharp.
"This opportunity is once in a lifetime! This fertile land of Handong cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of others, nor can it be allowed to descend into new chaos!"
He paused, his gaze fixed intently on Zhong Xiaoai.
“You have worked at the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for many years and have gained enough experience at the deputy director-general level.”
"Your abilities and achievements can withstand scrutiny."
"Now, it's time to step down and stand on your own!"
Zhong Xiaoai's heart skipped a beat.
She instantly understood her father's intention!
Go to a local area? To Handong? And specifically Handong, a place undergoing dramatic power shifts and in dire need of reconstruction?!
And on the opposite side.
Zhong Xiaoai's father said in an unquestionable voice, "The organization has already had preliminary communication with them."
"The position of Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection of Handong Province is at the level of a full-fledged department head."
"Get ready and head to Handong to take up your post as quickly as possible!"
“You are familiar with Handong.”
"We will definitely be able to gain a foothold in Handong."
"Prepare for what comes next!"
Department-level official!
Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection!
Even with her resolute will, Zhong Xiaoai couldn't help but feel a slight choke on her breath at this moment.
This position carries too much weight!
How old is she?
He reached the level of a department director!
But Zhong Xiaoai knew that this was the will of her family, and she could not resist it!
She had no choice but to accept it!

late at night.
After returning to the capital from Handong, Zhong Xiaoai immediately changed all the previous decorations in her room.
Hou Liangping's traces were completely erased.
At the same time, she divorced Hou Liangping as quickly as possible.
I plan to stay in Beijing from now on.
I will never go to Handong again.
I won't go to that place that makes me sad.
