Chapter 6
Sun Liancheng, With the Universe in His Heart, Also Wants to Progress!

Sun Liancheng moved quickly, receiving Li Dakang's call, and rushed to Secretary Dakang's office without delay.

Li Dakang had just arrived at his office not long ago, and hadn't even finished a cigarette, when Sun Liancheng arrived.

Seeing Sun Liancheng come so quickly, Li Dakang smiled: Sun Liancheng actually wants to do things.

In the original series, after Ding Yizhen ran away, Li Dakang asked Sun Liancheng to appease the investors of the Guangming Peak project to prevent those investors who had ties to Ding Yizhen from running away.

Sun Liancheng did not disappoint Li Dakang, he stabilized the investors, and the Guangming Peak project was also stabilized, avoiding the large-scale withdrawal and fleeing of investors that occurred in Lin City back then.

Moreover, after the Dafeng Factory 116 fire incident, Li Dakang requested that all administrative departments in the city raise funds, with the government paying the relocation fees for Dafeng Factory employees first.

Although the land in Guangming District had been sold off by Ding Yizhen, and the money had been spent, Sun Liancheng still raised the funds within a week as per Li Dakang's instructions.

This is enough to show that Sun Liancheng's work ability is very strong, solving a large funding gap in a short period of time is not something an official who only wants to lie flat can do.

However, some problems are there, and Sun Liancheng truly can't solve them, or rather, those problems are not something he can solve as a district chief.

For example, the reception window of the original series, Sun Liancheng did something, instructing his subordinates to buy a few small chairs for 60 yuan, and put some small rock candies.

Without money, you can only solve the problem in such a low-cost way. If you want to tear down the reception window and redesign it, it will cost at least hundreds of thousands of yuan.

“Liancheng, sit down!” Li Dakang asked Sun Liancheng to sit down, then got up and poured a glass of water for Sun Liancheng.

“Thank you, Secretary Dakang.” Sun Liancheng was surprised and quickly took the cup with both hands to express his gratitude, but he was also a little worried.

This is not Secretary Dakang's style, Sun Liancheng was not new to Li Dakang, he had never had water poured for him by Li Dakang personally before.

Secretary Dakang's style is very tough, he is also very demanding of his subordinates, easygoing, courteous…non-existent, these words have been deleted from Secretary Dakang's dictionary.

As the saying goes, something unusual must have happened, Sun Liancheng couldn't help but worry, does Secretary Dakang's unusual behavior mean something big has happened?

“Sit down.” Li Dakang walked to his seat and gestured for Sun Liancheng to sit down as well.

Sun Liancheng sat down in the chair opposite Li Dakang's office and asked cautiously, “Secretary Dakang, what happened?”

Li Dakang asked back, “You're the deputy commander of the Guangming Peak project development coordination meeting held at the Handong International Hotel today, why weren't you there?”

Sun Liancheng quickly explained, “I was there, I attended the daytime meeting, but I didn't feel well at the evening reception, so I went home early.”

Li Dakang asked with a smile, “Really not feeling well? Or did you go home to watch the stars?”

Sun Liancheng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, “Watching stars is just my hobby, it doesn't affect my work, Deputy Mayor Ding Yizhen is hosting the reception anyway.”

The real reason is, Ding Yizhen is Li Dakang's confidante, taking advantage of Li Dakang's trust, Ding Yizhen acts arbitrarily in all aspects, not taking his partner Sun Liancheng seriously.

Sun Liancheng knew that if he attended the reception, he would be Ding Yizhen's sidekick, so he used the excuse of not feeling well to go home early. Sun Liancheng had long been tired of being Ding Yizhen's sidekick.

On one hand, Ding Yizhen is not only the deputy mayor of Jingzhou City, but also concurrently serves as the secretary of the Guangming District Party Committee, while the district chief is Sun Liancheng;

On the other hand, the Guangming Peak project that Li Dakang strongly promotes is actually executed by the commander Ding Yizhen, while Sun Liancheng is the deputy commander.

For these two jobs, Sun Liancheng is just Ding Yizhen's sidekick, the power is all in Ding Yizhen's hands, and without Ding Yizhen's nod, Sun Liancheng can't do anything.

Li Dakang nodded, and blurted out, “I can see you're very dissatisfied with Ding Yizhen.”

Sun Liancheng hurriedly denied, “No, no, Secretary Dakang, I have always been very cooperative with Deputy Mayor Ding's work, I have no dissatisfaction with him.”

Li Dakang said indifferently, “You don't need to explain to me, it's okay to be dissatisfied with Ding Yizhen, Ding Yizhen has had an accident.”

“Ah?” Sun Liancheng was stunned, very surprised, “How did Deputy Mayor Ding have an accident?”

Sun Liancheng couldn't understand, Ding Yizhen is Secretary Dakang's confidante, Secretary Dakang is fine, how could Ding Yizhen have an accident?

“It's a case handled by the Supreme Procuratorate's Anti-Corruption Bureau…” Li Dakang was concise and simple, briefly telling Sun Liancheng what happened at the briefing session.

Sun Liancheng is a useful person, Li Dakang is preparing to cultivate this person as a capable subordinate, so he told Sun Liancheng a few more words to show his closeness.

“Ding Yizhen is the deputy mayor, the commander, and also the secretary of the Party Committee of our Guangming District. He clearly has the power in his hands and acts arbitrarily, but everywhere he goes, he uses your banner, saying he is your incarnation. He is in trouble, and it makes you very passive.”

Without a doubt, Sun Liancheng could become the district chief, so he was naturally not a fool, he sensed Secretary Dakang's intention to win him over, and immediately expressed his stance, standing by Secretary Dakang.

Li Dakang said in a deep voice, “I used the wrong person, it's my responsibility. You're the district chief of Guangming District, and also the deputy commander of the Guangming Peak project. You have to take on the responsibility, appease the investors.”

“Okay.” Sun Liancheng further changed his attitude, “Secretary Dakang, what do you think Secretary Gao Yuliang thinks? We are already very passive, and he even handed Ding Yizhen's investigation power to the Supreme Procuratorate?”

Criticizing Ding Yizhen is a kind of statement, questioning Gao Yuliang is also a kind of statement, this is the art of language, there is no need for vulgar oath of allegiance, Sun Liancheng can also let Secretary Dakang know his position.

“Secretary Yuliang's mind is always unfathomable, I don't know what he really thinks. His top disciple, Qi Tongwei, stood up and said a few words for me, which is interesting.”

“Let's not talk about this, Liancheng. Now, the top priority is to minimize the negative impact brought by Ding Yizhen, and prevent the situation eight years ago when investors in Lin City withdrew and fled on a large scale.”

“You will take over as the commander of the Guangming Peak project, get this project done, the Party Committee Secretary, and even the Deputy Mayor are yours, do you have confidence?”

Li Dakang said, in fact, he knows what Gao Yuliang thinks, and he also knows Qi Tongwei's mind, but Sun Liancheng can't be considered a confidante yet, and it's not suitable to say some things.

It's better to draw a big cake, to be exact, it's not a big cake, but real encouragement, if Sun Liancheng can do a good job, achieve results, Li Dakang is happy to promote Sun Liancheng.

“I have confidence!” Sun Liancheng readily expressed his stance again. He did not disappoint Li Dakang, both his confidence and his attitude made Li Dakang very satisfied.

Sun Liancheng could become the district chief, besides being outstanding in ability, he also has the motivation to pursue progress, if he really lies flat with no desires, would the leader cry and beg him to get promoted?

“Very good!” Li Dakang gave a thumbs up, saying happily, “Liancheng, I believe you have the ability to do a good job. If you encounter difficulties, you can talk to me, we will solve the difficulties together.”

The Sun Liancheng in the drama was able to solve the problems that Ding Yizhen brought to the Guangming Peak project, allowing the Guangming Peak project to be implemented smoothly. Li Dakang believes that the Sun Liancheng in this world can also do it.

Entrusting the heavy responsibility of the Guangming Peak project to Sun Liancheng, Li Dakang then went home to deal with the bomb at home. The bomb at home, if it doesn't get defused, will explode more fatally than the Guangming Peak project.
