Hou Peng took a deep breath. He knew that he had to bow his head. There was no other way. If he continued to stand still, he would be in no position. Li Xiuyuan would seize the opportunity and attack him fiercely. If he continued to stand still, he would have no chance of being the mayor.
"Xiuyuan..." Hou Peng was ready to admit defeat and changed to a more affectionate name.
But just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Li Xiuyuan: "Mayor Hou, I haven't been dismissed yet, right? Should I still call him by his title?"
Hou Peng choked and his face turned red. Li Xiuyuan didn't give him any way out. He was forcing him to jump down the stairs.
"Okay, Deputy Mayor Li, I wasn't thoughtful enough before. So, Deputy Mayor Li will be in charge of banking, urban construction, power supply, health, education... and the Economic Development Office and the Comprehensive Management Office."
After Hou Peng finished speaking, he looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Deputy Mayor Li, what do you think?"
Are you satisfied? Li Xiuyuan was certainly not satisfied. These divisions of labor seemed important, but in reality, the most important financial responsibilities were not given to him. Only the banking and urban construction departments had some power. Other responsibilities, such as power supply, health, and education, were actually thankless tasks. In charge of education, you had to pay the teachers and staff's salaries. In charge of power supply, you were responsible for power outages. In charge of health, it was even more tiring.
The only ones related to the Meilin Village project are the Industry and Urban Construction Department. Of course, the two offices in charge, the Economic Development Office and the Comprehensive Management Office, have actual power.
There are many offices in townships, but only a few of them have power, including the Party Committee Office, the Economic Development Office, the Comprehensive Management Office, and finally the Agricultural Economic Office. After the current tax reform, the Agricultural Economic Office has to stand aside, and it is hard to say how much say it has.
None of the seven stations and eight institutes allowed me to contact them.
But being able to fight for these is already good, and continuing to make trouble will not benefit him. Li Xiuyuan nodded and said with a smile: "I will follow Mayor Hou's arrangements."
Hou Peng's face darkened. "You're going to listen to my instructions?" Damn it, you little bastard, you're not going to act until you see the rabbit, and you're still going to listen to my instructions?
"Okay, now Comrade Xiuyuan's division of labor is clear. The next thing is the new rural project in Meilin Village. This project..." Zhang Xingguo said hesitantly. The team meeting was about to begin.
To say that it went smoothly, it did go smoothly. Li Xiuyuan and Hou Peng had been at odds with each other from the moment on. In the future, the town government would definitely divert some of Li Xiuyuan's energy, but to say that it was completely under his control was not the case.
Li Xiuyuan stood up forcefully, completely humiliating Hou Peng and establishing his prestige. If he wanted to trick Li Xiuyuan about the Meilin Village project, he would have to think twice.
"My thoughts on this project are as follows: the county has established a New Rural Demonstration Village Steering Committee, so the overall advancement of this project must be promoted within the framework of the county's New Rural Demonstration Village Steering Committee."
"But specifically, in our central town, I'd like to set up a steering group for the New Rural Demonstration Village. I'll be the group leader, with Deputy Secretary Lu, Town Mayor Hou, and Deputy Town Mayor Li serving as deputy group leaders. Deputy Town Mayor Li will be primarily responsible, with the others assisting. What do you all think?"
Zhang Xingguo was very good at checking and balancing power. He said that Li Xiuyuan was mainly responsible, but in fact he set up a lot of obstacles for Li Xiuyuan.
"I..." Hou Peng was the first one who wanted to agree, but Li Xiuyuan's reaction was also very quick.
"I have an idea, Secretary Zhang." Li Xiuyuan interrupted Hou Peng. "Secretary Zhang has been very thoughtful, but isn't this a bit complicated? The project in Meilin Village is very tight, and this demonstration village emphasizes timeliness. With a steering committee at the top and a steering group at the bottom, isn't it a bit too bloated? Will it reduce efficiency during implementation?"
When it is time to fight for something, Li Xiuyuan must fight for it. He cannot just let Zhang Xingguo do whatever he wants.
