"Meeting adjourned." Zhang Xingguo said, leaving without even tidying up the things on the table. Kang Yong and Ma Tao followed closely behind. Inside the conference room, Li Xiuyuan stood up and thanked the other three with a smile.
"Thank you, Mayor, Secretary Lu, Minister Qi, and thank you all for your strong support." Li Xiuyuan smiled broadly. With the appointment of the person in charge of Meilin Village settled, the next step was to carry out large-scale construction.
Of course, there is still a funding gap, but the personnel issues have been resolved, and no one is holding me back.
Hou Peng smiled but said nothing, then got up and left. Qi Weihua chatted with Li Xiuyuan for a bit, saying that Zhou Jianzhong, whom Li Xiuyuan had recommended, was a good candidate. In the end, only Li Xiuyuan and Lu Zhenhai remained.
As Lu Zhenhai was about to leave, Li Xiuyuan followed him and arrived at Lu Zhenhai's office.
“Secretary Lu, I’d like to explain that matter. Actually, I initially wanted to recommend Zhou Junliang, but during the meeting, I realized that recommending Zhou Junliang was not appropriate. Zhou Junliang lacks both seniority and prestige, so I thought of recommending Zhou Jianzhong first and letting Zhou Junliang gain more experience,” Li Xiuyuan explained to Lu Zhenhai.
He didn't communicate with Lu Zhenhai about this matter at first, but Lu Zhenhai supported him at the meeting, so he felt he should explain.
Lu Zhenhai poured Li Xiuyuan a glass of water. He didn't believe Li Xiuyuan's explanation at all. What nonsense! Who was Li Xiuyuan? He had arranged everything before the meeting. He had even managed to make Zhang Xingguo lose control of the team.
As it turns out, Li Xiuyuan said he hadn't thought Zhou Junliang was unsuitable before the meeting, and the person he recommended was a last-minute replacement. Haha, is that possible?
It was obvious that Li Xiuyuan was keeping it from Zhou Jianzhong and Zhou Junliang; he had already considered this in his mind.
However, Lu Zhenhai didn't care about this matter. He had already given his support at the meeting, and Zhou Jianzhong was indeed more suitable to go up. He had also helped out. So he smiled and said, "Mayor Li, your consideration is indeed more comprehensive. I support it very much. Old Zhou has been the deputy director for so many years. He should contribute his remaining energy before he retires."
"Haha, thank you for your understanding, Secretary Lu. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning, and we'll go to Meilin Village together," Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.
“Okay.” Lu Zhenhai nodded.
Li Xiuyuan exchanged a few more pleasantries and left. Lu Zhenhai had originally intended to inform him of the meeting's results, but then he thought it was better to discuss such matters in person rather than over the phone, so he simply didn't inform him. After all, he was going there tomorrow morning anyway.
When Li Xiuyuan returned to his office, it was almost time to leave work. Just as he sat down, Zhang Yaozong came in. Today, he was in charge of inspecting the river embankment repair project in Meilin Village, and the remaining balance had been distributed.
"The project is progressing well, it's all completed, and I've inspected the quality of the repairs; they're very solid. We can start work at any time," Zhang Yaozong said.
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "Okay, Director Zhang, I trust you to get things done. If you're free tomorrow morning, come with me again. There's a mobilization meeting for the villagers of Meilin Village tomorrow morning, and we need to select the village party secretary."
“Okay, Mayor Li.” Zhang Yaozong nodded.
