Li Boyang has lost a lot of weight recently. The job of a secretary sounds like it's just about carrying bags and serving tea and water, but in reality, being by the leader's side, while not exactly like walking on thin ice, requires you to be on high alert at all times, paying attention to the leader's needs and understanding the intentions behind their words.
My brain is constantly working at high speed.
Especially since Li Boyang's talent cannot compare with Li Xiuyuan's, he needs to be more diligent. Many things that Li Xiuyuan finds easy require Li Boyang to think about three times before he can analyze them.
Furthermore, the relationship between Li Boyang and Yun Yanchang is not like that of Li Xiuyuan. Li Xiuyuan can relax a little in front of Yun Yanchang, but Li Boyang doesn't dare to.
Finally, irregular work and rest schedules, constantly running around with the boss, naturally lead to weight loss.
"Brother Li, you really need to take good care of yourself," Li Xiuyuan said to Li Boyang with a smile.
"Xiuyuan, stop criticizing me. Look at yourself. You've not only lost weight, but you've also gotten tanned," Li Boyang said.
The young woman, Ms. Yang, chimed in, "Yes, Mayor Li, if you're always running around on construction sites, you definitely need to be careful about sun protection. Here, I'll send you two bottles of sunscreen later; they're very effective."
The concept of sunscreen wasn't very popular in this small county town in 2006, but Ms. Yang was very knowledgeable about these things.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and shook his head: "I'm a grown man, I don't need these things."
Does sunscreen work? It definitely does, but does Li Xiuyuan need sunscreen? Absolutely not. Getting a tan is actually a good thing; it shows he's been working in the countryside.
You say you spend all your time running around construction sites, but in the end you still look like a pretty boy. Can the boss believe that?
Grassroots cadres should have the image of grassroots cadres: a slightly tanned face, rough skin from the wind, dark stubble, and messy hair... that's the image of a grassroots cadre.
Only when he went to Yun Yanchang's office to report again could Yun Yanchang realize how much his former secretary had sacrificed for the promise she had made and for growing flowers in the cinder pile.
However, there's no need to explain these reasons to them.
During the meal, Li Boyang mentioned something: next week would probably be even busier, as provincial leaders would be coming to Xichuan City for research.
"Will they come to our Huangyuan County?" Li Xiuyuan asked casually. These provincial leaders were too far away from him; he had only mentioned them briefly.
"That's not confirmed yet, but whether the leaders come or not, we still need to make preparations. The leaders just received the news, and I estimate they'll have a meeting on Monday to discuss the preparations for the inspection," Li Boyang said.
Li Xiuyuan nodded. That was indeed the case. The leader might only stay in Xichuan City for one day, but all districts and counties in the city should be prepared. If the leader suddenly decides to come and visit, and you are not prepared at all, it will definitely not work.
This is because it was a last-minute notification. If it had been notified in advance, we might have had to start preparing for the inspection half a month in advance.
