At 5 p.m., the meeting room of the Meilin Village Committee was filled with smoke, and many people reeked of alcohol and had somewhat glazed eyes.
Today's lunch was a celebration for the first phase of the dredging project. Everyone drank quite a bit. What's more, no one expected that the celebration would end right before the meeting started at 5 p.m.
Li Xiuyuan didn't give them a chance to catch their breath.
In summary, the first phase of the dredging project and today's unveiling ceremony went relatively smoothly. There were some areas where everyone fell short in the first phase of the dredging project, but Li Xiuyuan only briefly mentioned them without going into too much detail, and the reason was quite simple.
In the first phase of the project, the people in their guidance team were also feeling their way across the river, putting in a lot of effort and hard work. Not to mention anything else, in the past two months, everyone's weekends and holidays have been very limited.
Therefore, Li Xiuyuan was not too harsh and mainly focused on commendation.
The next step was to assign tasks.
Before the May Day holiday, there were 36 households that had not yet signed. As of today, May 9th, another 8 households have signed, leaving 28 households remaining.
Of these 28 households, there are hardly any left who are still observing; they are all considered holdouts, tough nuts to crack.
"In Li Town, out of these twenty-eight households, fifteen are small-time hoodlums and hooligans led by Tian Zhen and Zhou Shujun. Of course, not all of these people are street thugs; about five or six of them are involved in local gangs in the county and town, calling themselves big shots. The remaining ten or so are just idlers, typical scoundrels."
He's usually idle and doesn't make any money; he either gambles or gets drunk and causes trouble..."
Zhang Xingdong continued, "We also conducted research on the remaining thirteen households. Among them, Wang Yongde was the leader. His relatives have been investigated and found to be the cousins of Deputy Mayor Wang Zhixing."
Listening to Zhang Xingdong's words, Li Xiuyuan's face showed a look of understanding. No wonder he was so confident, it turned out he was related to Wang Zhixing.
"Besides Wang Yongde, the other four families are all in similar situations. They have connections in our county, the city, and neighboring counties. The ones with the most connections are relatives of the deputy county head of the neighboring county. The rest are not worth noting."
"Finally, there are seven households left. The situation for these seven households is more complicated. In some households, the daughter-in-law is the head of the household, and both husband and wife are quite unreasonable. In other two households, the elders in the family absolutely disagree with everything they say..."
After Zhang Xingdong finished speaking, Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Okay, let's divide the remaining 28 households into three categories according to their circumstances. Give me the information. Don't do the work for these households for now. Put it aside. Now everyone's main focus is on the public bidding. The bidding plan has been finalized and will be officially announced to the public starting tomorrow."
According to the bidding plan, the entire bidding process, including registration, will take five working days. The selection of bidders will be completed before the 22nd of this month, and the winning bidders will be announced. With one week of preparation time, the second phase of the project will officially begin before the end of the month. Everyone's tasks are quite tight..."
While Li Xiuyuan was holding a meeting in the conference room, a group of more than ten people gathered at a house in the southeast corner of Meilin Village, drinking and chatting.
The man at the head of the group had a muscular face, an unknown tattoo on his neck, a cigarette between his fingers, and a bottle of liquor in his hand. The others surrounding him were all similar in appearance.
