June 6th, the eleventh day of the fifth month in the lunar calendar, is the Grain in Ear solar term in the twenty-four solar terms. In the morning, the town government of the central town held a meeting on people's livelihood. The main participants in the meeting were the agricultural technology station, the water conservancy station, the comprehensive management office, and the village directors of each village.
Today's meeting mainly focuses on the summer grain harvest and agricultural production.
As June arrives, it's harvest season for winter wheat, and there's also the work of drought and flood control in the summer, as well as the issue of straw burning after the wheat harvest.
Therefore, there were quite a few people attending the meeting. Originally, this work was the responsibility of Wang Zhixing, but now that Wang Zhixing has left, there is no specific person in charge of this work.
Hou Peng, who was speaking on stage, was so hoarse that when he stopped to drink water, he couldn't help but look at Li Xiuyuan, who was leisurely sitting in the audience.
Normally, if Li Xiuyuan, the deputy mayor, were to attend such a meeting, he should be placed on the stage. Similarly, the heads of the agricultural technology station, water conservancy station, and comprehensive management office should also be placed on the stage.
The problem is that Hou Peng is now very wary of Li Xiuyuan, and Li Xiuyuan's recent attempts to seize power are also very clear. Therefore, he will definitely not give Li Xiuyuan a chance to show his face in such a situation.
They forcibly placed Li Xiuyuan offstage, leaving him to speak alone on stage. Of course, this was understandable, since the town mayor was a proper section-level cadre, standing alone among the attendees.
But looking at Li Xiuyuan in the audience, Hou Peng felt his eyelids twitch. Li Xiuyuan never attended many of the town's meetings. When Hou Peng tried to invite Li Xiuyuan over, he always made excuses, saying that he was too busy with the new rural construction project in Meilin Village and didn't have time.
He could always find reasons and excuses to avoid her. Even though he had talked to Li Xiuyuan and wanted him to attend more meetings to relieve some of the pressure, he still often couldn't find Li Xiuyuan.
Sometimes he had no choice. If Li Xiuyuan didn't attend the meeting, he would have to assign Wang Zhixing to attend, or go himself. There was no other way. Most of the meetings that the town government attended were with the county government and various county departments.
Li Xiuyuan was confident that it didn't matter if others didn't attend, since it was organized by the county government, and who wouldn't give them some face? But in the end, the blame for not attending the meeting fell on him, the town mayor.
He had absolutely no way to deal with it.
However, after Wang Zhi left, Li Xiuyuan completely changed his behavior. He attended all kinds of meetings, and frequently did so. When he spoke at the meetings, he always spoke on behalf of the central town government.
Damn it, Hou Peng felt his head was about to explode when he heard this once. You said the second phase of the Meilin Village project has already started, aren't you busy? These meetings don't need you to attend at all, what are you doing here?
Just like today's meeting, he originally didn't intend for Li Xiuyuan to attend, but Li Xiuyuan still came, saying that the summer grain harvest and agricultural production issues were the focus of the town's work, and he wanted to come and listen.
He was forced to sit there, feeling like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat, but there was nothing he could do.
Originally, Li Xiuyuan was asked to attend the meeting, but he was unwilling. Now, he is not allowed to attend, but he is voluntarily attending. Hou Peng understands the reason: he is after his own position.
