Chapter 172 Highlight
On the third day of work, Deputy Director Chen had already started assigning work to Lin Qing.
They haven't experienced the large or small meetings that Wang Qi mentioned, but their office is really lively, with people always coming to Director Bai to complain.
Director Bai poured water, gulped tea, and then performed Tai Chi smoothly.
Some of them came here on their own initiative, while others were kicked here by Secretary Ma.
It's quite useless.
Just when I was wondering why there were no meetings, big or small, someone announced that there would be a meeting in the afternoon.
Wang Qi pinched his nose and whispered to Lin Qing: "You must eat at least three taels of rice at noon."
This is said as if holding a meeting takes a lot of energy.
Lin Qing has one good thing about her. She listened to advice, had a full lunch, took a nap in the dormitory, and went to the meeting in the afternoon with full energy.
Normally, little Karamis like her hang out there.
There were already some people in the conference room, including one or two junior clerks who looked very similar to Wang Qi, with a gloomy air.
Secretary Du Baichuan obviously does not belong to this group. He followed Director Bai early in the morning and insisted on sitting below the director and deputy director. Wouldn't the seat next to the leader be more conspicuous?
He was still cautious and on guard against Lin Qing.
Lin Qing sat down with Wang Qi and didn't care about this at all.
Soon the room was filled with people, and Secretary Ma also made a grand appearance.
The position of secretary is not easy to hold as there are too many things to worry about. According to Wang Qi, when she came to work, Secretary Ma still had black hair, but within a few years, half of his hair had turned white. In fact, he was only in his forties, which was the time when he was making great progress in his career.
Being assigned to such a remote place usually means that there is either not much future or no future at all.
But this half head of white hair probably means he has a bright future.
As soon as the secretary appeared, the noisy meeting room immediately became silent.
Secretary Ma looked at everyone warmly and said, "The purpose of our meeting today is to report on the development status and future plans of each unit. Of course, we can't just talk about the good things, we have to talk about the bad things too. If you have any difficulties, please speak up. Let's brainstorm and see if we can come up with a solution at the meeting."
“Okay, let’s start with the forestry department.”
The director of the forestry department glanced at the young clerk below him, and the young clerk took out a thick notebook and reported on his work.
After speaking a lot, Wang Qi already started to yawn.
After listening to the general idea, Lin Qing could only admire that this young clerk could write documents.
There have been no fires in the forest farm and no indiscriminate logging. In short, everything is well managed. There are just some minor problems with the pasture. The equipment at the milk station and the transportation cannot keep up. The weather is hot and the milk has spoiled, causing serious waste.
This is an old story.
After hearing this, Secretary Ma solemnly wrote these down in his notebook. Before he told everyone, an official couldn't wait any longer.
He said, "The milk problem has been going on for a long time. Old Li, you guys should think of a solution. Let the local herdsmen make cheese and sell it."
Director Li of the Forestry Department snorted: "Do you know how much cheese you can make from two kilograms of milk? How much manure do you have to make cheese and milk skin?"
"Where can we sell them? Transportation and labor are all included in the cost. If they are too expensive, they can't be sold. If they are too cheap, the ranch will lose money and gain publicity."
"The cheese we make at home is not as good-looking as the one made by machines. It is not worth giving as a gift. Ordinary people will not buy it twice a year. Who should we sell it to?"
The one who talked back just now was a mine manager under him. His last name was Zhang. Wang Qi introduced him to Lin Qing in a low voice: "Mine Manager Zhang has a very blunt and bad temper. He always wants to talk back to whoever he wants to talk back to. Only the secretary can control him."
Lin Qing nodded in understanding, having seen through it.
Mine Manager Zhang started to complain impatiently: "You said that milk would go bad and be wasted, and I gave you a suggestion, but you said it was not okay, so you should find a solution yourself."
"Compared to our mine, your milk is nothing. My mine is a century-long undertaking." Mine Director Zhang looked at Secretary Ma and said, "Secretary, my good secretary, if our mine has no employees, how can we mine coal? Without coal, how can we make a profit? Without money, how can we develop the mining area?"
"If you ask me, we should recruit workers from the communes, farms and pastoral areas."
"Bang." Another hot-tempered man was not happy with his job and slammed the table, glaring at Mine Manager Zhang. "Your coal mine wants to develop, but our commune won't. If everyone goes to the mine to dig coal, who will farm the land and raise cattle and sheep?"
"You can't drain everyone's resources just because of the development of your mining area."
Several other commune leaders also slammed the table and shouted, firmly disagreeing with the widespread recruitment of workers.
Several young officials from the Forestry Department were also busy.
After a lot of chatter, the meeting got out of hand.
Lin Qing took a quick glance and saw Director Bai squatting down to drink water.
Then, amid the din, an official shouted, "Old Bai, do you think this hole can be opened? There are so many mines in our flag. If one mine recruits workers, and two mines recruit workers, then there will be no one left in other places, right?"
Mine Manager Zhang joined in with a blushing face: "This won't work, that won't work, Director Bai, what do you think we should do? You are the one who develops the economy, and we don't have any employees, so why should we open a coal mine?"
Director Bai put down the jar, frowned and sighed: "Don't get excited, what you said makes sense. It is definitely not possible to have no workers in the mining area, but it is also nonsense that there is no one to farm the land and raise cattle and sheep in the commune below. Let's not talk about the indicators submitted, what will our local people eat?"
Lin Qing lowered her head and pursed her lips, saying, "Okay," and then she kept talking in circles.
Mine Manager Zhang: “…”
Mine Director Zhang slammed the table and grunted, then looked at Secretary Ma again.
I don’t know how these leaders came to unity, but they all stopped talking and looked at Secretary Ma.
Secretary Ma took a deep breath, and suddenly thought of something. He smiled in an official tone, "Oh, I haven't introduced the new comrade in our flag to you yet."
"Xiao Lin?" Secretary Ma looked towards the Finance Department.
“.......”
Isn't this moment too brilliant?
Lin Qing stood up and smiled politely at the staff.
She wasn't embarrassed anyway.
Mine Manager Zhang's face was twisted into a bun, and he muttered: Why introduce new people at this time?
Perhaps he could see the dissatisfaction of the crowd, Secretary Ma smiled nonchalantly: "You may be wondering why I am introducing a new comrade at this time. This Xiao Lin is a graduate of the Economics College in Shen City. He is a new senior cadre in our banner. I have high hopes for Xiao Lin."
"Secretary Xiaolin, what are your views and opinions on the issue of recruiting workers in coal mines?"
All the leaders' eyes were cast over here.
Lin Qing: “…”
