Chapter 840: Chapter 840: Chu Ning and Sun Xiaozhen Arrive
Just after completing these tasks, Ji Yang returned to the township and saw that Chu Ning and Sun Xiaozhen were already waiting there.
“Brother, where did you go? We’ve been waiting for you for a while.” Chu Ning seemed very happy.
Sun Xiaozhen looked at Ji Yang with a smile and said, “Old classmate, you’re getting stronger and stronger now; I almost didn’t recognize you.”
“You haven’t eaten yet, have you? I’ll treat you to a meal.”
“Why bother? There’s nowhere to eat here, only big pot meals prepared for disaster relief. We’ve already eaten, so if you haven’t eaten, go and have some.”
Ji Yang knew the situation. Currently, everyone was organized to live in tents, and meals were provided as big pot dishes.
“Alright, I’ll eat something first and then talk.”
Ji Yang didn’t stand on ceremony with them and went to get some food, squatting there to eat.
“You’re a City Committee secretary, and you’re actually squatting here to eat!” Chu Ning was somewhat surprised.
“Even a City Committee secretary is human.”
Ji Yang didn’t care what they thought and just ate there.
He quickly finished eating and then led the two to a tent, which was Ji Yang’s temporary residence and also his office.
After everyone casually sat on plastic stools, Ji Yang handed out a bottle of mineral water to each person.
“Old classmate, this time Xiaoxiao sent me here to fully support your work. Just tell us what we need to do.”
Ji Yang said, “I just went to check things out. Now that the earthquake is over and there are no aftershocks, soon we’ll need to start rebuilding. Your ability to bring funding will be helpful for the rebuilding effort. Besides you, some other friends are also planning to invest, and it’s expected to be in the millions.”
“That’s a lot!”
“You really have a great influence.”
Both of them were a bit surprised.
Ji Yang smiled and said, “I want to share good news with you. According to reports, many hot springs have emerged in the Nanping City area due to the earthquake. I’ve already asked relevant department experts to conduct surveys, and I believe there will be news soon. If they’re safe, these places will become popular tourist spots.”
Before coming here, they knew that they weren’t expecting to recoup their investment. Now, hearing what Ji Yang said, their eyes lit up; if that’s the case, not only would the investment not be a loss, but it could earn a lot.
Ji Yang continued, “Nanping City actually has some scenic views, but there hasn’t been anything particularly striking, or anything that immediately captures people’s attention. Now the situation has changed. As long as there are hot springs scattered everywhere, once we build some bathing centers or health resorts, people from across the province will flock here, and even people from out of state will come to enjoy. You can invest funds for development; I plan to turn Nanping into a center focused on entertainment.”
Chu Ning said, “With what you just said, I’ve gained confidence. Creating a range of leisure and entertainment areas is a great idea.”
Sun Xiaozhen smiled and said, “The netizens were right about you, you are truly someone who can create miracles. With what you’ve said, I feel many more will increase their investments.”
Ji Yang said, “If you trust me, you two can take on the reconstruction and renovation work for this township. I assure you won’t suffer a loss.”
“I’ve checked out the surrounding mountain features; some areas should definitely become tourist spots. Anyway, all the money is to support you; our Chu Family is investing.”
Sun Xiaozhen smiled, “Xiaoxiao already said we should follow your lead, so we’re investing too.”
