Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1541: Chapter 1319: Can’t Be That Coincidental, Right?_2

Zhang Meng could see it, so naturally, Ji Mingyang could sense it even more.

Bai Xiaosheng has changed. He’s more composed, more insightful, more like a great entrepreneur. Although it’s still just a budding presence, the momentum is already there.

Given time, he will surely reach greater heights.

”You’re doing well, kid!” Ji Mingyang laughed and gave Bai Xiaosheng a punch on the chest.

For such a big city. mayor, who usually pays close attention to his words and actions, it was surprising to see him greet Bai Xiaosheng in such an intimate way.

Even Zhang Meng was surprised and moved, it seems Bai Xiaosheng’s position in Mr. Ji’s heart is truly extraordinary.

Zhang Meng could understand, after all, Mr. Ji’s teacher, Master Song Kai, is also very fond of this young man, treating him like a junior, plus Bai Xiaosheng had worked tirelessly for Zhongjing’s development back in the day. Both publicly and privately, it’s no wonder Mr. Ji values him so much.

”Hmm, and you two kids have also become more dignified following Sheng.” Ji Mingyang praised as he looked at Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.

”Mr. Ji, you’re too kind.” Lin Weiwei sweetly smiled from the side.

Even the usually solemn Lei Ying cracked a smile.

”Your reforms here are impressive too, I hardly recognized it when I came back. Is this my hometown, it’s practically a second-tier city now!” Bai Xiaosheng half-jokingly said.

The words were no exaggeration or flattery; if Zhongjing continues to develop at this growth rate, it could reach second-tier status within five years without a doubt!

”You deserve some credit for that!”

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t mention it, but as soon as he brought up Zhongjing’s development, Ji Mingyang’s eyes immediately lit up, and he was eager to discuss it with Bai Xiaosheng.

This Mayor Ji is truly a doer; whenever the topic of Zhongjing’s development comes up, he practically forgets to eat and sleep.

In fact, a year ago, the province had already appointed him to the Standing Committee and wanted to promote him, but Ji Mingyang refused. He wanted to personally transform Zhongjing into a metropolis before leaving.

As a result, the leaders eventually agreed and let him continue as the mayor of Zhongjing.

”Mr. Ji, why don’t we head over to the cafeteria? The food is ready and waiting for us.” Zhang Meng quickly interrupted Ji Mingyang.

He was really afraid the mayor would get caught up in conversation and forget to eat, which wouldn’t be good for his health.

”There’s no rush, let’s eat, what’s the hurry.” Ji Mingyang was about to refuse.

Bai Xiaosheng noticed Zhang Meng’s concern and quickly said with a smile, ”But I’m hungry, Mr. Ji. How about we chat while eating?”

With Bai Xiaosheng’s suggestion, Ji Mingyang nodded, ”Alright, let’s chat while eating then!”

Zhang Meng couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief, gave Bai Xiaosheng a grateful look, and laughed, ”Today’s meal, Mr. Ji personally prepared the ingredients, it’s going to be quite a feast.”

”Then I’ll have to eat more later,” Bai Xiaosheng also joked.

Everyone laughed heartily, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

Five minutes later.

In a small room in the government cafeteria, Bai Xiaosheng, Ji Mingyang, Zhang Meng, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying sat around a table.

According to Ji Mingyang, in this room, there were no titles or positions, only a group of ageless friends.

As a mayor, such openness is something Bai Xiaosheng especially appreciates.

The chef, seeing these young people were invited by Mr. Ji, was quite surprised, and even more so when he saw one of them having an intimate conversation with Mr. Ji like friends, giving Bai Xiaosheng a few extra glances.

The dishes were already prepared and quickly placed on the table; it was indeed a sumptuous spread.

Besides, there was also a bottle of smooth, low-alcohol white wine.

Ji Mingyang was happy and insisted on drinking, so Zhang Meng personally poured for everyone, ensuring Mr. Ji could keep a good pace, otherwise, he was afraid Mr. Ji would drink too much in his joy.

It was indeed mealtime, and they were even a bit past it.

Ji Mingyang invited everyone to eat, and they all dug in, savoring the white wine, enjoying the meal, and feeling comfortable.

After a few rounds of drinks and bites, when Bai Xiaosheng casually asked about a minor issue in the previous municipal planning ”characteristic city,” Ji Mingyang finally couldn’t help himself, laughing as he passionately spoke.

In the past two years, thanks to the initial clear planning and strategic clarity, Zhongjing’s development could indeed be described as ”soaring,” becoming a model city for Anjiang!

After earning this title, it wasn’t just Zhongjing’s own efforts towards development, but rather Anjiang devoting its resources wholeheartedly to support it.

What used to take five to eight years to implement could now be achieved in just a year or two, or even sooner in Zhongjing.

Currently, Zhongjing is genuinely achieving the saying ”changing day by day, new look every year.”

Even provinces from outside are frequently visiting to study it, and neighboring provinces plan to follow its example.

Bai Xiaosheng was pleased to hear this, after all, this was his hometown, and after all, he had also contributed his advice and suggestions back then.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, seeing both of them chatting happily, also felt joyous and equally excited about Zhongjing’s current accomplishments.

However, amidst Zhang Meng’s smile, it seemed as if he remembered something on his mind, his brows furrowed slightly, but it soon vanished without a trace.

Bai Xiaosheng and the others were listening intently to Ji Mingyang, so naturally, they didn’t notice.

Mayor Ji Mingyang spoke nonstop for thirty minutes, feeling a bit thirsty, and seeing Bai Xiaosheng’s attentive smile, he suddenly chuckled and said, ”Look at me, once I start on these topics, I can’t stop talking. I forgot to ask you, Sheng, how have you been these two years? I can see that unique temperament on you, that’s not something just anyone has. Our Zhongjing, even Mou Family’s Mou Yutian can’t compare to your level!”
