Thanks to Li Xiuyuan's careful selection, the interactive session proceeded without any political issues; everyone expressed their gratitude to the leaders and the government for its favorable policies.
These words may sound cliché, but they are politically correct.
At 10:00 AM, after the interactive session, it was time for the site visit, which mainly focused on the second phase of the project. This was led by Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan led Yun Yanchang and a group of leaders around the village, of course, the route was arranged in advance.
Soon they arrived at the village committee compound, where Li Xiuyuan introduced the construction of Meilin Village Primary School.
"Well done. Meilin Village's new rural construction is a model village for the whole county. It should serve as a benchmark. It's not just about building the village and improving its infrastructure; its soft power must also keep up. Education and healthcare are top priorities. We must pay attention to both and make sure both are strong. Only in this way can it serve as a benchmark and provide a reference for other new rural construction projects in the county..."
As Yun Yanchang spoke, everyone cheered and began to flatter him.
Yun Yanchang was very satisfied after visiting the two teachers' dormitories. He also went to the kitchen to see the meals prepared for the teachers at noon.
After looking around, Yun Yanchang looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "When you reported on your work last time, you said that the guidance team has a village station here. Which office is it? Take me to see it."
“This…” Li Xiuyuan hesitated.
Zhang Xingguo, who was standing nearby, immediately seized the opportunity to criticize Li Xiuyuan. Seeing Li Xiuyuan's behavior, he assumed that Li Xiuyuan's office was also luxuriously decorated and that he dared not let everyone visit it.
After all, the teachers' dormitory has been renovated like this. If he were Li Xiuyuan, he would definitely renovate his office in Meilin Village properly. In a village far from the emperor's reach, he wouldn't want to make himself suffer.
However, Li Xiuyuan was Yun Yanchang's man after all. Even if Zhang Xingguo wanted to sow discord in front of Yun Yanchang, he couldn't do it too obviously, lest Yun Yanchang have a problem with him. So, he had to do it subtly.
Then Zhang Xingguo said with a smile, "Yun County, you don't know, Comrade Xiuyuan devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Meilin Village project. He worked so hard that he often stayed overnight in Meilin Village because he was working too late at night. The conditions were very difficult, but it was precisely because of Comrade Xiuyuan's hard-working attitude that we have the Happiness River we have today."
No one could find fault with Zhang Xingguo's words; if someone is praising you, are they trying to harm you? But the phrase "difficult conditions" is subtly implied in his statement.
Especially with media reporters accompanying them, it would be unreasonable if the office were opened up and found to be better decorated than the teachers' dormitory.
Yun Yanchang looked at Li Xiuyuan. As the county magistrate, he certainly wouldn't be fooled. He had seen countless instances of this kind of flattery, and he was sure he wouldn't make things difficult for Li Xiuyuan.
As long as Li Xiuyuan gives him a look, he can immediately change the subject.
But at that moment, Li Xiuyuan said with a hint of embarrassment, "The office is a bit messy, and I'm afraid everyone will laugh at me. But since Yunxian wants to see it, I'll take everyone there to have a look."
Li Xiuyuan led his men to his office, which also served as his dormitory.
