The county's economic conference opened grandly amid warm applause.
Liu Yong, Ma Qingyuan and other major leaders of the county party committee and county government entered the venue one after another amid thunderous applause.
Li Lin and Yang Ping, who were sitting at the side of the first row, also clapped enthusiastically with everyone else.
After Liu Yong finished reading the opening remarks and Ma Qingyuan interpreted the county's economic indicators, it was the turn of the person in charge of the backward township, Weishui Township, to come on stage and make a self-criticism speech.
In the words of the leaders, Weishui Township should be singled out as a negative example to fully stimulate the enthusiasm of other townships to attract investment.
Let them know that as a backward township, they will be punished!
It is not difficult to understand from the words of the county leaders that they did not expect Weishui Township to be able to do a good job in attracting investment.
In their eyes, only economic development towns like Kaoshan Town, which are close to the urban area and have developed transportation, can serve as the basis for the overall economic development of Shannan County.
Weishui Township is just a catfish in a carp pond. Its existence is only to stimulate the vitality of other townships in their economic work.
"Has the person in charge of Weishui Township arrived at the meeting? Please come to the stage and speak!"
As Deputy County Mayor Jiang Weihua called the roll, everyone's eyes fell on Li Lin and Yang Ping sitting in the first row.
Ye Xiaotao, who was sitting in the middle of the first row, couldn't wait to stick his head out and looked at Li Lin with a half-smile, his expression as smug as could be.
"Aren't you arrogant? Go on stage in front of all the county leaders and continue to act arrogantly?" He mocked himself in his heart.
"Fuck! What's so great about a township leader who is only fit to be a stepping stone?" Ye Xiaotao's eyes were full of disdain and contempt. "Wait and see how your Weishui Township becomes the laughing stock of the whole county!"
He couldn't help laughing secretly, as if he had already seen Li Lin's embarrassed look on the stage.
Leaders from other towns and villages also cast glances of either gloating or indifference.
Some people raised the corners of their mouths, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
Some people were whispering to each other, discussing the embarrassing situation of Weishui Township in low voices.
"What kind of future can this Weishui Township have? It's just here to make up the numbers."
"It's right to let them embarrass themselves. Otherwise, how can we show the achievements of other towns in attracting investment?"
"What kind of achievements can we expect from such a poor and remote place?"
Although the voices were not loud, they were extremely clear in the quiet conference room, like sharp blades stabbing Li Lin and Yang Ping.
Yang Ping's face turned pale in an instant. She bit her lips tightly, her heart filled with tension and anxiety.
Li Lin remained calm, just narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of determination and calmness in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and prepared to face this challenging moment.
"Manuscript...manuscript..."
When Yang Ping saw that Li Lin was fighting with bare hands, she quickly reminded him to bring the manuscript he had prepared in advance.
The contents of the manuscript were revised by Li Lin, but during the revision process, he had already memorized all of the contents in his mind.
When he was in college, Li Lin often gave speeches in front of thousands of people. He could even speak without stopping from day to night without any notes.
This is a test of a person's knowledge and experience, but it cannot be denied that public speaking also requires skill.
For example, if you are asked to go on stage and give a speech for an hour and a half, you may find it difficult.
But if you were asked to go on stage and recount all your experiences from birth to the present day...I guess you wouldn't be able to finish even in three days and three nights.
It's like chatting with someone after drinking...you can't finish talking all night.
Therefore, psychological quality is the important factor that determines whether a speech is successful or not.
There is a way to control nervousness, that is to imagine everyone in the audience as winter melons...
By the way, rows of winter melons are watching you speak, so why be nervous?
Li Lin walked briskly and stood on the podium as usual.
Ye Xiaotao, the winter melon, looked mocking...
This mask is well drawn!
Li Lin laughed secretly in his heart.
Under the watchful eyes of county leaders including Liu Yong and Ma Qingyuan, as well as rows of winter melons in the audience, Li Lin began his speech calmly.
"Good morning, leaders and comrades from all units."
"I am Li Lin, the Party Secretary of Weishui Township."
“First of all, I want to frankly admit that our Weishui Township’s current performance in attracting investment is indeed unsatisfactory, and I feel deeply ashamed to be ranked last.
But what I want to say is that this is not the result of our village giving up efforts or falling into depravity.
Weishui Township is located in a remote area, with inconvenient transportation and weak infrastructure, which are all objective difficulties.
However, we will not use these as excuses, but rather view them as challenges and opportunities.
Although we have tried hard to attract investment in the past period of time, our methods may not be innovative enough and our ideas may not be broad enough.
We have not fully tapped into the unique advantages and potential of Weishui Township, resulting in slow progress in attracting investment.
But please believe that all the cadres and masses of our Weishui Township have not lost their confidence.
We will not be defeated by the difficulties we face, nor will we be discouraged by a single failure.
We will take this review as an opportunity to reflect deeply and re-plan our strategy for attracting investment.
Strengthen communication and contact with the outside world, and actively learn from the experiences and practices of advanced regions.
At the same time, we must also base ourselves on local realities and fully explore the unique resources of Weishui Township, such as our undeveloped beautiful natural scenery and rich agricultural resources.
