Chapter 150: A Difficult Task

government offices, even at the most grassroots level in rural towns, document processing and meetings are still quite important. 。Xiao Zheng then said: "That's great, when you have time tomorrow, you...At 2:00 p.m., Gu Cuiping, head of the Provincial Scientific Development Outlook Inspection Group, accompanied by Liu Qingwei, director of the Municipal Scientific Development Outlook Leading Group Office and Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, Xiao Jingyu, secretary of the An County Party Committee, Fang Ye, county magistrate, and other municipal and county leaders, visited Fengqicun, Tianhuang Town, at an altitude of over 800 meters. 。The town leaders, Guan Wenwei and Gao Zhengping, were already waiting there. Xiao Zheng was standing behind them, along with the newly appointed village Party Secretary Qin Keling and Deputy Secretary Xin A Si. 。Qin Keli was a little nervous today, because Guan Wenwei had just told her that today's meeting might involve her reporting. 。As the head of a provincial inspection team, a leader at the department level, Qin Kexi, the chairwoman of the women's federation in her town, had rarely interacted with someone like that before. She had never even reported to such a high-ranking official face-to-face. 。Besides, this old team leader seems a bit old-fashioned. A woman who is close to or has already "landed" is definitely not easy to get along with. She might take out her bad temper on others. 。So, even though Qin Keli kept telling herself not to be nervous, she couldn't help but have a slight bead of sweat form on her forehead. 。Xiao Zheng saw Qin Keling's nervousness and lowered his voice: "Leaders are also human beings. Just tell them the truth." 。Because Li Haiyan had told him that Old Gu was strict, when Xiao Zheng saw her in person, he didn't have a particularly strong impression of her. He felt that Gu Cuiping was just an older woman. 。You know, Gu Cuiping is not only serious-faced but also quite striking. Her features are very beautiful, she's just a bit thin. Imagine what she must have been like when she was younger, she must have been a stunning leader. 。

Though a beauty fades with time, her high position compels us to acknowledge her. 。Most people probably value most her "imperial warrant" in her hands. 。Xiao Zheng's gaze swept across the crowd behind the leaders, searching for someone. Li Haiyan 。As expected, Li Haiyan closely followed Xiao Jingyu, and when her gaze met Xiao Zheng's, she gave a slight smile. 。Xiao Zheng obviously felt that Li Haiyan was more confident than when she was in the town before, and even more beautiful. 。Is it that Li Haiyan has become even more beautiful, or is it because she now works in the county and has status and position, making her glow with a different kind of brilliance Sometimes, a person's beauty and temperament are truly intertwined with the external things they possess!Just then, Town Mayor Guan Wenwei stepped forward and greeted "Director Gu," extending his hand for a handshake. 。Ke Gu Cuiping merely brushed against Guan Wenwei's hand with her fingertip before retracting it. 。Guan Wenwei is also a smart person and doesn't care about these things. He greets "Minister Liu", "Secretary Xiao", "County Magistrate Fang", etc. 。Liu Qingwei nodded and, under the gaze of the Organizational Department Director, sized him up; Xiao Jingyu also nodded to Guan Wenwei, saying, "Today, Group Leader Gu attaches great importance to this matter and came personally to your town for investigation," Guan Wenwei said, "Yes, welcome, Group Leader Gu." 。Then Guan Wenwei greeted the county magistrate, but the county magistrate simply turned his head and looked in another direction, which shows that he was quite dissatisfied with Guan Wenwei. 。Gu Wenwei had no choice, being in a low position, his superiors gave him the cold shoulder, and he could only endure it. 。Guan Wenwei said: “Please, leaders, move to the conference room.” 。The village meeting room was simple to begin with, but after Qin Kexi became the secretary of the branch, she improved the hygiene. The tables and chairs were still the old walnut wood conference table and chairs, just wiped clean. On the conference table, besides white ceramic teacups and nameplates, there was nothing else. 。There were several pots of spider plants on the window sill of the conference room, and the whole room looked quite clean and tidy. 。Gu Cuiping was a clean freak by nature. Seeing the conference room was simple, bright, and clean, her previously tense nerves relaxed somewhat. 。In fact, Qin Keli also asked the town leaders about the arrangement of the conference room, asking if they wanted to buy some fruits or something. 。Xiao Zheng immediately said that they shouldn't buy anything, just a cup of tea would do, and the signboard should be kept simple but clean. 。So far, the results are pretty good. 。Everyone sat down according to the place cards. 。The provincial inspection team and city leader Liu Qingwei sat in a row, while county leaders and town and village leaders sat opposite them. 。Some people unconsciously straighten the name card; some people take a sip of tea, the water is not hot anymore, just right to enter the mouth, but the sound of drinking tea is a bit loud. 。Everyone is waiting for the meeting to begin. 。

Director of the Municipal Leading Group Office and Secretary of the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission, Liu Qingwei chaired the meeting today. He glanced at the attendees and then turned to Provincial Director Gu Cuiping, asking, "Director Gu, shall we begin" Gu Cuiping nodded. "Let's begin" >>> 。"With that, Gu Cuiping straightened her posture and sat upright." 。Liu Qingwei then said to the County Party Secretary Xiao Jingyu: "Secretary Xiao, let's begin." 。Your county has already reported this morning, so there's no need to report it again. 。"Look, in town, who did you ask to report first"

Xiao Zheng's gaze turned to Xiao Jingyu 。After the autumnal equinox, the weather turned cooler. Xiao Jingyu, who had only worn short sleeves before, was wearing a long-sleeved shirt today, with the cuffs rolled up once to reveal her white wrists. Her skin also looked fair and slightly rosy, and she seemed to be in good spirits. 。Guan Wenwei, seeing the question, immediately replied: "Dear leaders, let me first report on the overall situation in Tianhuang Town and our plan to launch the 'Beautiful Rural Construction' initiative..."

"No need..." 。"Gu Cui'ping suddenly interrupted Guan Wenwei's report, saying: "Regarding the basic situation of Tianhuang Town, I have already learned about it in advance; and your 'Beautiful Rural Construction' implementation plan, I also saw it in the county today." 。。This actually indicates that the leader doesn't respect this subordinate and doesn't give them face. 。Guan Wenwei thought to himself, "Damn it! This old woman won't let me finish my sentence!"Although he wanted to curse, Guan Wenwei dared not speak out of turn. He still smiled and said, "Director Gu has already been informed, so I will omit this part." 。“Let's get straight to the point. Our inspection team came to Tianhuang Town because we received a joint report from 28 villagers.” 。What did you people of Tianhuang Town do to these miners This, we need to get to the bottom of. 。Although the question was about Tianhuang Town, Guan Wenwei still turned to Xiao Jingyu, the secretary of the county committee. 。Xiao Jingyu signaled that he could answer directly, and Guan Wenwei said to Gu Zhongsong: "Director Gu, in the process of promoting the 'Beautiful and Rich Countryside Construction', the first principle is to stop mining and restore greenery, improve the ecological environment, allow natural ecosystems to recuperate and thrive, and then develop eco-tourism." 。So, mining is a necessary process. 。This is also the pain that we Tiangang Town must go through in order to achieve sustainable development. 。

Only now that we are willing to 'let go', will we be able to 'gain' something in the future.

Guan Wenwei's answer was still well-articulated, especially the final statement "What you lose, you gain," which he came up with spontaneously and added at the end of his report. 。He thinks that perhaps he can get the understanding of Team Leader Gu Cuiping. 。However, Gu Cuiping remained unmoved after hearing Guan Wenwei's explanation. She still kept a stern face and turned to the two main leaders of the county: "Xiao Shuji, Fang County Magistrate, do you have anything else to add"Xiao Jingyu replied very briefly: "No more." 。"Fang also chimed in, “I have something to add.” 。Gu Cuiping's gaze shifted to Fang Yezhong's face, and even with an encouraging tone, she said: “County magistrate Fang, if you have anything to say, please speak.” 。“Fang also coughed lightly in his throat, took a sip of tea to wet his whistle, and said, “Director Gu, to be honest, I think the issue of shutting down the Tianhuang Town mine is worth discussing.” 。After all, in villages like Fengqicun, many villagers are miners. The 28 miners who signed the petition represent only a part of the villagers. After the mine was shut down, they directly faced unemployment. The 28 transport workers had borrowed money to buy their transport tools. Once the mine closed, they were very likely to go bankrupt. This impact is significant. 。Fengqi Village is like this, and other villages have the same situation. This group is not small, and it might become an unstable factor. 。Although mining can protect the ecosystem, we cannot prioritize ecology over people's livelihoods. People need to be able to make a living. If they can't afford basic necessities, what good is a pristine environment

Perhaps because I work in government, I tend to focus on practical matters. 。I also suggested these words to Xiao Shuji, but the county committee decided to stop mining. As the county magistrate, I still have to obey the county committee. 。

Comrade Gu, this is what I want to compensate for. 。After Fang also finished speaking, he leaned back in his chair and lit up a cigarette. 。Gu Cuiping's gaze shifted to Xiao Jingyu's face: "Xiao Shuji, it seems that the opinions between your county Party committee and county government are not unified"

Xiao Jingyu listened to Fang Yedong's statement, and he was naturally unhappy with Fang Yedong in his heart. He always seemed to play against him at important occasions>>> 。Luckily, Xiao Jingyu was also prepared. She said, "Director Gu, our county committee believes that we still need to look forward, not give up on the immediate benefits, and not thoroughly improve the ecological environment. If An County doesn't do so, it won't be able to go far or well in the end. The people who ultimately pay the price for destroying the ecosystem are the common people." 。"It's understandable that ordinary people sometimes have a short-sighted view, after all, life is pressing. But our Party committee and government must hold the helm, set the sails well, and be good guides!"

Xiao Jingyu's answer was simple, but he also expressed his opinion clearly. 。The room fell silent. 。

Nobody knew what would happen next. 。After a while, Gu Cuiping said: “What you all said makes sense.” 。Now, our inspection team is not looking at empty promises, we are focusing on the real deal. 。How can this be "realized" If you are in Anxian or Tianhuang Town, if you can resolve the employment issue of the 28 people who signed and reported on the mining transport workers within four days, then you can continue. 。If we can't resolve it, we apologize, but we will urge you to stop "Beautiful Rural Construction". 。You can focus on ecology, but you also need to provide livelihoods for the people. 。Otherwise, I believe the city committee won't agree, and the provincial committee won't agree either. 。Now, Xiao Shuji, Guan Zhenchang, are you guys able to solve these people's employment issues Give me a straight answer right now. 。"

“This…,” Xiao Jingyu felt a little embarrassed, and turned to Mayor Guan, “Can it be solved”

Mayor Guan’s brow furrowed. There were dozens of people working in the mining transportation, and he was being asked to make a statement within four days that they would all have jobs resolved How could he possibly do that He wasn’t a big company owner, and the government couldn’t directly hire people.” 。The town mayor just wanted to say, this can't be done. 。However, standing beside the town chief, Xiao Zheng said: "We can handle this in our town." 。” Haiyan naturally knew this was a rare opportunity. She also remembered that when Xiao Zheng was taken away by the police, she blamed herself for not being strong enough. She promised herself that if...
