"Mayor Li, why?" Tian Hong was a little surprised. Was it not allowed for him to contribute his private plot?
"Your idea is good and commendable, but you should still exchange land if you need to. Otherwise, if you give up your own plot of land and don't need to exchange it, what about the others? Should they also not exchange land and make selfless contributions?"
Li Xiuyuan definitely wanted to consider things thoroughly. If Tian Hong contributed land and occupied it but didn't want to exchange it for land, what about the other people whose land was occupied? In addition, Li Xiuyuan also considered another point: if Tian Hong, a deputy party secretary, was so virtuous and upright, how would Zhou Jianzhong carry out his work in the village in the future?
People are saying that Zhou Jianzhong, as the Party Secretary, has a lower level of ideological awareness than the Deputy Party Secretary. The Deputy Party Secretary refused land requisition and instead donated it to the village for road construction free of charge. How can Zhou Jianzhong continue to serve as Deputy Party Secretary?
Of course, this reason couldn't be told to Tian Hong.
When Tian Hong heard that Li Xiuyuan disagreed with his idea, his expression immediately stiffened. It turned out that he had tried to flatter Li Xiuyuan but ended up making a fool of himself.
But at that moment, Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Deputy Secretary Tian, you have to understand. After all, we can't expect everyone to have your level of awareness, right?"
Li Xiuyuan's words made Tian Hong overjoyed. When it came to flattery, Tian Hong couldn't even match Li Xiuyuan's level.
"Mayor Li, you flatter me, you flatter me."
"Haha, okay, then it's settled. We'll hold a village mobilization meeting tomorrow afternoon, and Secretary Tian will take the lead in signing the contract to set an example for everyone, alright?" Li Xiuyuan asked Tian Hong.
Tian Hong was overjoyed by Li Xiuyuan's flattery and could not possibly refuse at this moment, so he nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Alright, then Secretary Tian, go and notify them. The time is set for 2 PM tomorrow. The participants are the more than one hundred households involved in the demolition and land relocation. The location is in our compound," Li Xiuyuan instructed.
Upon hearing this, Tian Hong immediately nodded excitedly. Usually, it was Zhou Jianzhong, the village party secretary and acting village director, who was responsible for announcing meetings. But now Li Xiuyuan had asked him to do it. Although this didn't mean that he had replaced Zhou Jianzhong, it did signify something.
Tian Hongxing got up and left excitedly. Watching Tian Hongxing's retreating figure, Li Xiuyuan smiled. What could a meeting notice really mean? Would it mean he'd promote him to village party secretary? Or would it mean he'd recommend him for the election?
It's nothing, but many people treat these things as treasures. Originally, this task was handled by a certain person, but now someone else is in charge, as if the person in charge of this task will take over the position of the previous person.
Today the boss took me to a business dinner, so I'm now his confidant, because he used to only take his confidants to business dinners; today the leader asked me to write a speech, so I'm now the leader's secretary, because the leader used to only ask his secretaries to write speeches... and so on. Actually, these are all just arbitrary arrangements by the leader. As long as you value this, it's fine.
So here's this as a reward for you, it's actually nothing at all.
Whether you can win over a leader isn't about these superficial things, but about making decisive decisions at crucial moments.
If Tian Hong had been willing to sign the contract at the very beginning of the demolition work, Li Xiuyuan would have taken it seriously without a doubt. However, the fact that he chose to do it on a weekend afternoon, trying to be clever, was something Li Xiuyuan could see through. Although he would use Tian Hong, it was impossible for him to gain any benefits from this matter.
