Chapter 54: The Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Arrives
When Ma Fugui heard that the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee was coming, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days. He immediately called Duan Zetao to ask him to make arrangements for the reception. He also convened a standing committee meeting to assign reception tasks, and even launched a general cleaning and hygiene campaign in the county town.
.【 】
Not feeling relieved after it was over, I drove back and forth several times on the road from Gulin to Shanglin. I even considered going to the toilet on the way. I also visited several points scheduled for inspection and saw what was going on.
He asked Duan Zetao several times about the details, and asked Duan Zetao to put up colorful flags and welcome banners along the road. Duan Zetao felt tired even accompanying him. Shanglin's achievements were there, and no one was afraid to look at them.
"Secretary Ma, I heard that Secretary Zhao dislikes welcoming people and sending them off. It's just a whitewash. If you make the scene too big, it might be counterproductive?!" Duan Zetao kindly reminded.
Ma Fugui waved his hand and said disapprovingly: "Zetao, you don't understand. Whether the leader likes it or not is one thing. Whether you do it or not is another matter. If you don't do it, you don't respect and pay attention to the leader.
Besides, what leader doesn’t like big scenes!”.
As soon as Ma Fugui left, Duan Zetao immediately asked people to put away the colorful flags and banners along the road, leaving only two welcome banners at the township government and Huiren production base to welcome the leaders of the provincial party committee for their guidance.
Zhong Hanliang said worriedly: "Zetao, what if the leader is unhappy if you do this?!".
Duan Zetao waved his hand and said: "I asked Secretary Wang. He said that Secretary Zhao resented the cadres below him playing tricks with him. Besides, these colorful flags and banners hanging here are completely incompatible with our Shanglin environment. Don't worry.
, I’ll take care of anything!”.
Zhong Hanliang didn't say anything anymore. Anyway, Duan Zetao was the protagonist of this inspection. He could just play a supporting role. With the credit, he, as the secretary, would naturally be indispensable.
On the day of the inspection, Ma Fugui took several team members from the county and drove a dozen vehicles to the entrance of Gulin on the provincial road more than ten miles away to greet them. He also planted a large number of colorful flags and banners at the entrance.
When Zhao Xiangyang came down this time, he drove a Toyota Coaster van and a police car responsible for security. The only people accompanying him were Liu Dongsheng, the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, Jiang Shaobo, the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, and Jiang Shaobo, who was in charge of rural economic work.
Standing Committee Vice Governor Ma Yuejin, his secretary Huang Yunlong, Ma Yuejin’s secretary Wang Guodong and several other staff members.
The inspection team went straight along the S306 Provincial Road, not even entering Shannan City. They directly asked Sun Xianglong and Lei Dongshi to take a car and follow them to Gulin County. From a distance, they saw colorful flags fluttering at the intersection and crowds of people.
There were more than a dozen cars parked, and there were police officers pushing passing cars aside.
Zhao Xiangyang couldn't help but frowned and said angrily: "What the hell! I've been told repeatedly, don't welcome people, don't disturb the people! Why don't the cadres below just listen, ignore them, just drive forward! Go to Shanglin Township!"
”.
Ma Fugui and the members of several teams in the county were waiting eagerly. When he saw the convoy coming, Ma Fugui perked up, with a warm smile on his face. He leaned forward slightly, as if he was ready to rush forward and shake hands with the leader at any time.
The posture, unexpectedly the convoy did not stop at all, and drove directly along the provincial road!
Everyone was dumbfounded. At this moment, Ma Fugui's cell phone rang, and Sun Xianglong's furious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Ma Fugui, what the hell are you doing! Didn't I tell you not to welcome people or disturb the people? Secretary Zhao is very
Angry! You tell other comrades in the county to go back to work, and you and Liu Mingzheng will follow you in a car. We will go directly to Shanglin Township!"
Ma Fugui's face turned pale with fright. This flattery hit the horse's leg. Secretary Zhao was very angry, and the consequences were serious. He sent the others back first, then asked Liu Mingzheng to get into his car, and drove after him uneasily.
Go up.
Duan Zetao and Zhong Hanliang led members of the township party committee to greet Zhao Xiangyang and his party in front of the township government. It was not as long as Ma Fugui explained. Zhao Xiangyang finally showed a smile on his face, got out of the car, held Duan Zetao's hand and laughed.
: "Comrade Xiao Duan, I never thought that you, the 'Citrus Township Chief', are not only great at selling citrus and promoting family planning, but you are also very good at doing economics!".
Duan Zetao quickly said humbly: "Secretary Zhao, Shanglin's achievements today are not due to me alone. It is inseparable from the care and support of superior leaders and the hard work of all township cadres in Shanglin Township!".
Zhao Xiangyang became even more happy. The corners of his mouth turned into a crescent shape, and he nodded and said: "Very good. Don't be proud or take credit for your achievements. This is a good cadre of the party. I won't praise you now. You show me everywhere."
Look, don’t try to fool me!”.
Duan Zetao took the inspection team to see the Qujiang Food and Leisure Zone, the production base of Huiren Group, and the orchards on the mountain. Zhao Xiangyang took a very detailed look, and also kindly asked the people who were working in the orchards about their income.
, almost every time I ask a farmer, they will talk about Duan Zetao. Without Township Chief Duan, we would not have the happy life we have today.
Zhao Xiangyang was very interested and insisted on going to see where the farmers lived in the village. When he saw that most of the villagers lived in brick houses and had TV sets in their homes, he nodded secretly. Everything could be faked.
, only the real living environment of ordinary people cannot be faked.
After reading a few points, the smile on Zhao Xiangyang's face became even brighter, and he happily said to Sun Xianglong who was accompanying him: "Comrade Xianglong, at first I didn't believe it when I read the report in the Provincial Metropolis Daily.
There were some exaggerations, but now it seems that they are completely true. I think Shanglin Township can be established as a "Township Economic Development Demonstration Township", so that everyone can learn from Shanglin and improve the rural economy of our province!"
.
Sun Xianglong also sighed happily: "Yes, our Shannan area has underdeveloped transportation and backward economy. Shanglin Township has found a new way for us to use its own environment and resource advantages to develop a township economy with its own characteristics. Indeed,
It’s worth promoting and learning!”.
We had a special farm meal at the farmhouse arranged by Duan Zetao for dinner. Originally, Duan Zetao was not qualified to accompany the provincial party secretary to have dinner, but Zhao Xiangyang stayed him. On the contrary, Ma Fugui and Liu Mingzheng were not able to get the chance to have dinner with the provincial party secretary.
Ma Fugui had the honor of having dinner with the secretary of the Party Committee and having a separate table with several provincial Party committee staff. This also made Ma Fugui more and more convinced that Duan Zetao had strong connections in the province.
The food was very delicious. Zhao Xiangyang ate very happily. He made an exception and ate three large bowls of rice. He put down his chopsticks and looked at the beautiful night view of Qujiang outside the window. He sighed: "It's been a long time since I've eaten so full. The food and the beautiful scenery are all amazing to me."
I’m a little reluctant to leave Shanglin!”.
Duan Zetao boldly answered: "Then Secretary Zhao will stay at the resort hotel here tonight. We will have a bonfire party and folk custom performances here tonight."
Zhao Xiangyang rubbed his temples, smiled and said: "I think so too. If there were more Shanglin Townships and more Duan Zetaos in Jiangnan Province, I, the provincial party committee secretary, would not be so tired."
Zhao Xiangyang and his party did not stay overnight at the resort hotel in Shanglin, but returned to the provincial capital overnight. Duan Zetao did not bother to reminisce with Wang Guodong, but only shook his hand vigorously when sending him to the car. Wang Guodong quietly asked Duan Zetao
He gave a thumbs up and whispered: "Brother, just wait and make progress!".
Soon, the province issued a document, naming Shanglin Township as a "Township Economic Development Demonstration Township" and calling on all towns and villages in the province to learn from Shanglin's economic development model. As a result, Shanglin Township welcomed another wave of observation groups from various towns and villages.
craze.
Soon Zhong Hanliang was transferred to the county as director of the County Water Conservancy Bureau, which was a good arrangement for him. Before leaving, he held Duan Zetao's hand with some excitement and said: "Zetao, I have always wanted to be transferred to the county. After all, my family
We all live in the county, and now I really want to leave but I feel a little reluctant to leave. I feel relieved that Shanglin is in your hands! You have a bright future, so don’t forget to come to the county to see me when you have time!"
Duan Zetao was also very emotional. His achievements in Shanglin were inseparable from Zhong Hanliang's cooperation and support. "Secretary Zhong, no matter what happens in the future, you will always be my old leader and old superior! I will definitely
Go to the county to see yours!”.
After Zhong Hanliang left, Duan Zetao naturally took over as secretary of the township party committee, which was a small step forward. Don't underestimate this small step. When he became the secretary, he would truly have the qualifications to be in charge of politics. It would be a great influence on his future career.
The importance is self-evident.
However, Duan Zetao did not serve as secretary for long. He soon received a notice from the province, asking him to attend a six-month training class for young cadres at the Provincial Party School.
