In order to gain more power in the town government, they frequently appeared at various meetings to make their presence felt.
It turns out he wanted to interfere with the project in Meilin Village. Now he just wants Li Xiuyuan to take charge of the project in Meilin Village, but Li Xiuyuan is unwilling and wants to encroach on his power.
The meeting lasted from nine o'clock in the morning until eleven o'clock. Hou Peng had almost finished making arrangements. Looking at Li Xiuyuan, who was still taking notes diligently below the stage, he felt a bit of a headache, but this task still needed a person in charge.
Hou Peng coughed lightly and slowly said, "The agricultural sector was originally under the jurisdiction of Deputy Mayor Wang Zhixing. Now that Deputy Mayor Wang Zhixing has been transferred, this work will be taken over by Deputy Mayor Li."
Since Li Xiuyuan is attending meetings everywhere, it would be better to give him some less important tasks. Agriculture is both important and unimportant in the central town. It is important because this work is crucial and politically significant.
It's not important because this job doesn't involve much power. Summer grain harvesting and agricultural production are tedious tasks, but the scope for power is limited; it's just routine, mundane work.
For central towns, industrial work is more important because these are major taxpayers and these enterprises have money.
Therefore, entrusting this agricultural work to Li Xiuyuan can divert some of his energy.
Of course, Hou Peng had no choice but to settle for second best. Deep down, he didn't want to increase Li Xiuyuan's workload or let Li Xiuyuan expand his influence. But the problem was that Li Xiuyuan was attending meetings everywhere every day, expanding his presence as the executive deputy mayor, which Hou Peng found unbearable.
As soon as Hou Peng finished speaking, everyone in the conference room turned to look at the young man's back. Although Li Xiuyuan was not sitting on the stage, he was sitting in the first row.
Recently, the influence of the name Li Xiuyuan has spread rapidly, not only within the town government of the central town, but also in various villages within the central town area.
The village cadres from various villages had all heard of Li Xiuyuan's name recently. The news that Li Xiuyuan had risen to power in the central town and ousted another deputy mayor had already spread. The village cadres who came to the town for the meeting all had their own sources of information and knew a little about it.
This young man has become an indispensable figure in the town government, and his influence has spread from Meilin Village and the town government compound to the entire central town.
The title of Deputy Mayor Li has become more widely known. Of course, this is also related to the frequency with which Li Xiuyuan has been attending meetings recently. No matter how capable you are, you have to show your face frequently so that people can see you and know you in order to spread your influence.
This is one of the reasons why many leaders are followed by reporters and media wherever they go.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled, nodded, and stood up. Hou Peng was about to say something when he saw Li Xiuyuan turn around and face everyone in the conference room to speak.
"Since the town has entrusted me with this important task, I have no choice but to take it upon myself. Here, I would like to make three requests to everyone."
Hou Peng's face darkened immediately. He didn't want Li Xiuyuan to speak, so he dragged it out until the end of the meeting before handing over the task to Li Xiuyuan. As a result, Li Xiuyuan seized the opportunity to say a few words.
