Of course, this is on the premise that both individuals are under equal conditions.
Another point is that if Li Xiuyuan wants to gain more power in the central town government, he definitely needs to make full contact with all the villages; relying solely on Meilin Village is certainly not enough.
Being in charge of agricultural work is a very good job.
That's why Li Xiuyuan agreed.
"The second aspect is the burning of straw. We must ensure that responsibility is assigned to specific individuals. Village cadres in each village should be responsible for specific tasks, and Party members in each village should also be mobilized to fully leverage the role of grassroots Party organizations as a bridgehead..."
Li Xiuyuan spoke slowly. Because his back was to Hou Peng on the stage, Hou Peng couldn't see Li Xiuyuan's expression clearly, but he could see the expressions of the many attendees below the stage. All their eyes were focused on Li Xiuyuan, and they looked so serious that anyone who didn't know better would think Li Xiuyuan was the town mayor and he was the deputy town mayor.
This made him feel somewhat awkward sitting on the stage, and he even regretted entrusting the agricultural issues to Li Xiuyuan. Was it really the right choice?
This puts Li Xiuyuan in charge of agricultural work; hopefully, it will allow Li Xiuyuan to extend his reach even further.
Sitting on the stage, Hou Peng wondered if he had fallen into Li Xiuyuan's trap again. Thinking back, Li Xiuyuan had attended most agricultural meetings recently. Could it be that Li Xiuyuan had been planning to take charge of agricultural work all along? Was he deliberately setting a trap for him, just waiting for him to hand over the agricultural work to him?
Hou Peng sat on the stage, sipping his tea, his face shifting between light and shadow as he pondered.
Seeing that Li Xiuyuan had been speaking for about twenty minutes and showed no signs of stopping, Mayor Li couldn't help but interrupt him: "Mayor Li, it's about time. Everyone needs to go home for dinner. If there's anything else, how about we reschedule for another meeting?"
Hou Peng's words resonated with some of the attendees, since it was already 11:00 when he finished speaking, and it was now 11:20.
Li Xiuyuan listened, seemingly only then noticing the problem. He raised his hand to check the time, smiled, and said, "Sorry everyone, I got a little too engrossed in what I was saying. Agriculture is of paramount importance. Although our central town has a very developed industry, the town still attaches great importance to agriculture, which is why I said a few extra words."
As Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, the group of village secretaries and village directors present at the meeting largely agreed with him.
Then Li Xiuyuan looked at Hou Peng and said, "The mayor's words make sense. It's getting late today. Everyone will probably get home around noon, or even later if they live far away. Their spouses will probably complain that the town doesn't provide meals for meetings."
So, let me just say a few more words to wrap things up, and then the town will arrange a restaurant for lunch before everyone goes back. What do you all think?
When everyone heard that lunch would be provided at the restaurant, they immediately cheered. As village officials, their salaries weren't high, and the fact that they could get some food and drink was what they valued most.
Hearing the cheers from the audience, Li Xiuyuan turned to Hou Peng and said, "Mayor, what do you think? It was indeed my fault. I said a few more words and took up everyone's time. How about we arrange lunch in town? If that's not suitable, I'll pay for it myself. There aren't many people here, so I'll treat everyone to lunch."
Hou Peng's face turned strange, alternating between pale and red. "You've already made the promise, and you only ask me now? How can I disagree? If I did, everyone would be cursing me behind my back. So you've been made the good guy?"
