Standing in front of the minibus, Secretary Fan shook hands with everyone one by one and said with a smile: "The good situation in Hushan Village is hard-won. I hope you will continue to work hard and achieve better results. I am waiting to hear your good news in Jingcheng!"
With a loud acknowledgment, the minibus left, leaving behind two glittering golden plaques:
[Jingcheng City Urban-Rural Coordinated Development Demonstration Village]
[Jingcheng City New Rural Construction Demonstration Village].
In the peaceful Hushan Village, Gu Daqiang touched the two plaques with great joy. The city-level demonstration village was finally in his hands!
"Village chief, stop touching these two signs. Look at how you touch them like a woman!"
Zhan Baoxing, who was dressed neatly, held a cigarette in his mouth and joked with a chuckle.
Gu Chengde stood beside Gu Daqiang, admiring him silently with a smile on his face.
Gu Daqiang took a puff of his cigarette, and now he came to his senses. He felt a little dazed, "Oh my god, a high-ranking city official! He is the most powerful person in the entire Jingcheng City!"
Zhan Baoxing also laughed and said, "Indeed, I used to think that the town officials were not very impressive, but today I see that Secretary Zheng is just the smallest follower!"
"Don't talk nonsense." Huo Qianli waved his hand seriously, and then said in front of everyone: "I am the youngest."
Everyone laughed and chatted for a while, then went back home.
The minibus was shaking slightly on the road. Secretary Fan smiled and said, "What do you think of Hushan Village?"
Everyone started talking at once.
"The village committee of Hushan Village has strong organizational and mobilization capabilities, which has certain research value for us in optimizing grassroots governance."
"Hushan Village has built a good and recyclable economic development model, which controls risks while promoting industrial development. It is a method that can be promoted at the grassroots level in rural areas. Moreover, this model is not complicated, and the path of land transfer and industrial management can also be replicated. The key node is to build a stable product sales channel. We can also try this in some villages with better conditions in Jingcheng City."
"I think Hushan Village has a lot of ideas for people's livelihood. Whether it's the gravel road, the trash baskets at the doorsteps of each household, or even the operation mode of the small canteen, they are all full of wisdom in spending little money to get things done. It is a good example for those lazy officials who don't do anything unless they allocate funds."
Secretary Fan listened silently, and nodded after everyone finished speaking. "Actually, I have a very deep feeling today."
He turned his head and looked around. "The conditions of the villagers' homes today are not good, right?"
Everyone nodded.
"But their faces are full of hope! They are not like the muddle-headed people we often see before. With such a state, this village has great potential!"
Secretary Fan turned his head and looked at Li Qiao, "Comrade Li Qiao, let's start the preliminary work of the industrial park!"
Li Qiao was delighted and nodded heavily.
This sentence marked the beginning of the large-scale construction of the Salvia miltiorrhiza Industrial Park with Hushan Village as its core.
At the dinner table, Gu Daqiang, who had been nervous for several days, insisted on dragging Huo Qianli to have a few drinks.
After a few drinks, Gu Daqiang looked at Huo Qianli and said admiringly, "Brother, I am really impressed. A senior city official came, and you dared to let him walk around and look around as he pleased, and then you dared to take him to the canteen for lunch, and even asked him to pay."
Tang Yuxuan, who was well-informed, was stunned by these words. His main battle today was in the field, and he did not follow the main group for the entire journey. He asked in surprise, "Really?"
"Of course it's true!" Gu Daqiang took a puff of his cigarette and exhaled a straight stream of smoke. "The most important thing is that Secretary Fan is not only not angry, but he is very happy!"
"It's nothing, actually. As I said before, focus on the main contradiction."
Huo Qianli raised his glass and clinked glasses with them, saying modestly.
Then he glanced at Gu Haitao and decided to say a few more words, "Why do you think such a big leader came to Hushan Village?"
"It's not Hushan Village's turn to take bribes, so I came here just to see the real situation of Hushan Village, decide on the industrial park, and see if there is any experience worth learning."
"Then the first point is clear. How could he not know that we have coordinated the entire process with the Municipal Party Committee? He took the initiative to ask me that question, which made his attitude clear. Even if we wanted to stop him, could we stop him?"
"As for the second point." Huo Qianli took a sip of wine and exhaled the alcohol. "If Secretary Fan is a good official, these actions are very logical. Even if he is not a good person, what do we have behind us? We have cameras! We have reporters from the provincial TV station! We have the documentary that had a great success in the first season! This is our guarantee."
Huo Qianli smiled and said, "People in his position don't lack us to feed them, nor do they lack a few nods and bows. Instead, they have rare opportunities to show off and gain face. Even if he is a bad guy, as long as he is smart, he will definitely follow the ladder I set for him. So he will not be angry about what happened today. On the contrary, if I want to raise the standards for him, he will disagree."
Gu Haitao tried hard to remember that he would have material to brag to Jiang Qiuyan in text messages that night.
Night fell again. Huo Qianli stood by the window, quietly watching the street lights outside illuminate the main road in the village. He hoped that in the future nights here, neon lights would reflect the starlight.
