Chapter 851 - 346: All Parties Take Action (Part 2)
Godoy, dressed in a suit, rushed towards the front courtyard gate with over a dozen local officials and several mechanical guards.
The hovering cars passing by stopped, with enthusiastic citizens eager to take photos from behind the car windows.
"Hui! Oh no! Hanton! Hahaha!"
Godoy laughed heartily, giving Yang Ming a strong hug and a few playful punches.
"You finally have time to see me, the Governor!"
"Godoy, oh wow, you've gained weight!" Yang Ming teased him with a firm shake, "I made you the governor not to improve your diet!"
Godoy chuckled sheepishly: "Maybe it's because there's less to worry about. Come in, I have several tasks to report to you. You've allocated so much funding to us, I must explain how it's being used."
The staff on the side watched Yang Ming nervously, with a few younger men breathing heavily.
The sisters Han Xiang and Han Yin also appeared in the governor's mansion front hall, quietly waiting with over a hundred staff.
The changes in them have been quite significant.
Han Yin exuded a more mature and capable aura, with short hair, dressed in men's suits, her gaze sharper, her face more delicate, carrying a sense of authority.
Han Xiang still followed a cute route, wearing a white shirt and pleated skirt, with thick-soled sneakers to make up for her height.
Seeing Yang Ming, the two remained quite composed.—They regularly seek out Yang Ming's bionic robot for work reports, although they always communicate with Lyu.
"Boss!"
The sisters shouted in unison.
"Hmm," Yang Ming nodded with a smile.
"Lordship! Greetings!"
The more than a hundred people behind shouted loudly.
Yang Ming instinctively wanted to throw a Shock Bomb over, oh boy, what a sonic attack, who can bear that.
After what should have been a work report, but turned into a small fan meeting, Yang Ming finally reached Godoy's office, where they could have a chat and catch up.
Godoy had made the office a complete mess.
No decorations, everywhere there were metal paper documents.—They were various types of contracts.
Yang Ming didn't hold back, walked to the sofa by the window, and poured himself a cup of warm water.
Godoy directed two young men to move away the materials on the sofa.
"You've worked hard during this period," Yang Ming said leaning by the window, smiling, "You still need to continue working hard, take care of your health."
Godoy shrugged: "Actually, I'm fine, I feel fulfilled, and I'm motivated every day. Look at this!"
He opened a three-dimensional map, marked in a colorful manner.
This is the new city plan for Saka Star, and the old city renovation project.
Godoy gave a brief introduction, mentioned his future plans, overall thoughts were quite good.
"Hui! We really need to thank those generous Great Nobles, they have provided us with ample resources for rapid development over ten to twenty years!"
Yang Ming laughed: "They originally wanted to eliminate me, but I counterattacked them. I had the reason to kill them, those were just their life-saving money."
"Oh, that sounds exciting," Godoy's weathered face showed some concern, "But I still remind you... you should try to reconcile with the nobles, these nobles are usually a loose bunch, um, it seems I'm one of them too, but now you've stirred their collective sense of honor, though it's very amusing."
Yang Ming grinned: "Lower myself to the Imperial Nobles is harder than killing me. In reality, I must ensure my trust among the people, this way I can survive in the Empire."
"Indeed," Godoy's eyes sparkled with wisdom, "If you start to curry favor, getting assimilated by the Imperial Nobles, then the people will abandon you, only mourning a fallen Empire hero due to power and self-corruption while you're alive."
"It's all just empty fame."
Yang Ming took a sip of warm water, sniffed down: "Is there no water purification device in the governor's mansion?"
"We have installed it, of course, I must be responsible for the safety of my subordinates and staff," Godoy laughed, "The semi-permanent taste adjustment module is too expensive, it's completely unnecessary expenses. Right now, we must use every penny wisely."
Yang Ming laughed: "Are you putting on a show in front of me?"
A gray-haired female secretary poked her head in from outside: "Lordship, the water here has been hard to drink! You should do something about this stingy governor! Nineteen people have resigned from the Finance Department, nineteen in a year!"
"They feel they can't get any benefits," Godoy argued, "We must ensure the integrity of the team, only then we can maintain efficient operations."
Yang Ming nodded in approval: "I support you, but the staff at the governor's mansion still need better treatment, we also have to find ways to retain talent."
Godoy shrugged.
"Right," Yang Ming said, "When I was coming... ahem, I mean, when I was coming to the governor's mansion, I just talked with Lady Daphne, she will be coming for a charity performance in a few days."
Godoy paused: "Earlier? This is an important tourism project, crucial for us to win this tourism battle! Why didn't she inform us beforehand?"
"I'm here to notify you," Yang Ming raised an eyebrow, "You should focus on this issue, I will let my private army be at your disposal, mainly to maintain order on site."
