It was still early this time, and Li Xiuyuan hadn't originally planned to escort Su Ziying inside. However, when the gatekeeper, Old Zhang, saw Li Xiuyuan coming, he quickly opened the gate and gestured for him to enter, making it seem like Li Xiuyuan would feel bad if he didn't.
Li Xiuyuan escorted Su Ziying to the teachers' dormitory building before returning to the town government dormitory.
On Sunday, Li Xiuyuan was already staying in Meilin Village. Although the dredging project was nearing its end, someone still needed to keep an eye on it. Whether the leader was on the construction site or not made a huge difference to the workers.
Meanwhile, Li Xiuyuan was also preparing for the mid-term project. The early stage project could be completed with the town government taking the lead and Meilin Village cooperating, but the mid-term project could not be handed over to Meilin Village alone.
We need a professional construction company to come. We can hire villagers to work, but some specialized tasks must be outsourced to them.
This mid-term project is a massive undertaking worth five million, even larger than the initial dredging project. Li Xiuyuan will definitely need to prepare in advance and ensure its success.
Road construction and house building are things that require some expertise, but they don't actually require much technical skill. As long as you have the necessary construction qualifications, there shouldn't be any problems.
Li Xiuyuan plans to use a public bidding process for the cooperation with the company. This requires preparing project materials in advance. The reason it is called a cooperation is that the construction company will build the project entirely according to the town's requirements, and the personnel will be from the village. This will be written into the contract.
As for the machinery aspect, Li Xiuyuan can act as a go-between for Wang Yonghua, and the other company will generally give him face.
Li Xiuyuan expects the second phase of the project to officially start at the end of May or the beginning of June, and to be completed in three to five months, before the official onset of winter.
The three phases of the project will be prepared in winter, and will begin at the beginning of next year. All projects must be completed and accepted by the middle of next year.
On Monday morning, Li Xiuyuan had just arrived at his office when he was told that Zhang Xingguo wanted to see him.
Li Xiuyuan nodded and dismissed the messenger. Since the last town party committee meeting, the two had rarely met. One reason was that Li Xiuyuan was rarely in town and spent most of his time in Meilin Village. Another reason was that the two didn't have much to talk about.
When Li Xiuyuan arrived at Zhang Xingguo's office, Zhang Xingguo was busy. When he saw Li Xiuyuan coming, he stood up and greeted him with a smile.
"Secretary Zhang, did you need something?" Li Xiuyuan asked directly after sitting down.
In fact, if Zhang Xingguo had behaved himself in the affairs of Meilin Village, Li Xiuyuan would not have wanted to have any conflicts with Zhang Xingguo, the Party Secretary. After all, Zhang Xingguo was a section-level cadre and the top Party Secretary.
In the current political climate, Zhang Xingguo, as the Party Secretary, holds a significant advantage.
However, Li Xiuyuan was unwilling to let Zhang Xingguo interfere with the Meilin Village project.
"Comrade Xiuyuan, sit down and have some tea. I called you here to hear about the progress of the new rural construction project in Meilin Village." Zhang Xingguo said, pushing the teacup towards Li Xiuyuan. Then, as if joking, he added, "After all, I am the deputy director of the New Rural Demonstration Village Construction Steering Committee and the head of the guidance group. I need to know the situation so that I won't be completely unaware when the county asks. What do you say?"
Zhang Xingguo's words were barbed, and Li Xiuyuan noticed it, but pretended not to understand and said with a smile, "Secretary Zhang, I've wanted to report this to you for a long time, but you've been too busy."
