Yang Hongjie is gone.

If Han Zhiyuan hadn't been sitting next to him, perhaps he would have been able to sit down with a thick skin, because he knew that even if he lost contact with the Organization Department, he would still have a chance to make amends if he stayed.

But Han Zhiyuan's existence was like a silent warning from the Organization Department to him: to keep your dignity, you should know what's best for you.

He bent his waist, lowered his head, pretended to go to the toilet, and left in shame.

Behind him, Huo Qianli just walked to the podium and bowed to all parties.

The warm applause was a welcome to Huo Qianli, but also a ruthless mockery of him.

"Good morning, distinguished leaders, experts, and colleagues."

Huo Qianli's clear voice came through the microphone and speakers, bringing this long-awaited conference to a climax.

“It’s an honor to be here and share with you all.”

"Before today, I had been thinking about what I should say when I had this opportunity. I could just say something repetitive and smooth, and not make any mistakes. After all, outside this venue, others would only say that I went on stage and made a representative speech, and they might not care about what I said specifically."

The audience below immediately burst into laughter. Xiao Yao and the others looked nervous. What the hell, Old Huo is crazy. He dares to joke in this kind of situation!

Han Zhiyuan, however, sat on the Diaoyutai with a faint smile, not worried about Huo Qianli at all.

Young people should behave like young people. Why should they compete with old comrades in steadiness and maturity?

The Organization Department has their own purpose in grasping the main contradiction and arranging Huo Qianli to take over. As long as this purpose is achieved, the method and other things do not need to be out of the ordinary.

Sure enough, several leaders on the rostrum all glanced sideways, looking at this somewhat different young cadre with interest.

"But if I do that, I will be betraying the trust of the leaders and this rare opportunity. Personally, I don't have the qualifications or ability to give any advice to the leaders, experts and colleagues present here, so I will simply share my experience working in Hushan Village."

"One and a half years ago, I arrived at Hushan Village, full of ambition and looking forward to showing my talents. I believe many of my colleagues are the same as me. But the reality is always cruel. Let's not talk about whether there are good methods or good ideas. The fact that the villagers don't buy it alone can make most of our plans come to nothing. You ask them to work hard, they tell you to give you some money; you ask them to pay attention to education, they tell you to give you some money; you ask them to pay attention to hygiene and civilization, they ask you when you will pay them; when they find out that we really can't pay them, they ignore us."

The laughter from the audience immediately filled the entire conference hall, and it seemed that everyone resonated deeply with the audience.

"So, we can't help but subconsciously label them as ignorant, hopeless, and hopeless, and then we give up on ourselves and think, forget it, just mess around for three years! It's not that I don't want to do the work, it's just that this work can't be done at all!"

Huo Qianli's words silenced many people, especially some college student leaders sitting below, as they reflected their true mental journey.

"I had this thought before, but I was unwilling to accept it. I was unwilling to waste my youth here for three years, and I was unwilling to accept that the country and the government spent so much energy organizing us, but ended up with nothing. So I thought of a stupid idea."

Having said this, Huo Qianli suddenly paused and kept the question in suspense.

"Everyone has taken an exam and knows that before solving a problem, you need to review the question thoroughly and accurately to give an accurate answer. The first thing I did was to review the question. The villagers were just a rough concept in my mind, so I ate and worked with them, chatted with them, listened to their bragging, and became one with them. That concept gradually became clear and turned into a specific individual."

"Then I learned that the couple who lived frugally and were so stingy that they even collected the chicken droppings in their yard and piled them in the vegetable garden to save money on fertilizer were saving money because the woman in the family was sick and they were saving money to see a doctor. I also saw that the man who was usually unkempt and sloppy took great pains to dress neatly when he went to attend his son's parents' meeting. I also learned that the family that was most resistant to me was once the most active family in responding to Murakami's call, but their previous attempt failed, and the family had been thrifty for several years to pay off their debts but still hadn't paid off their debts."

"These villagers have their own concerns. They resist our measures because intuitively, what we say cannot solve their current entanglements and troubles."

"Only after we understand these reasons can we truly tailor policies to the people, win their hearts with sincerity, understand and persuade them. To help the poor, we must first help them to develop their aspirations. We must establish the subjective initiative of the villagers and let them see the possibility and hope of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich by their own hands to solve their life problems. This is the real way out."

There was sparse applause, and then suddenly it became continuous, and even the leader on the rostrum clapped his hands lightly.

Huo Qianli’s talk is simple but practical, and can also bring inspiration to some “backward” or college student village cadres who can’t find a starting point.

"After gradually winning the recognition of the masses, Hushan Village has successively promoted various tasks, which has further strengthened the villagers' recognition of the village committee. In this virtuous cycle, things that were previously impossible can now be gradually promoted."

"The key is to find a suitable industrial development path for Hushan Village. People are different, and so are villages. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. What others use well may not be available to you, and what others cannot use may be useful to you. The industry direction that Hushan Village finally determined is the planting and sales of Chinese medicinal materials."
