"Mayor, do you want to call Li Lin over to sit at our table?" Yuan Qingjiang asked, unsure of Qian Lingyun's thoughts.
When Yang Wanquan and Zhang Yi heard Yuan Qingjiang's words, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Li Lin who was sitting at the table next to them, and frowned slightly. They thought that if they sat together in other occasions, it would be fine, after all, Li Lin was so familiar, and he was Mayor Qian's confidant and favorite.
But today, all government employees gathered together, and Li Lin, a deputy director, squeezed into the main table of the city leaders. How would the director-level cadres at other tables think? How would the young cadres without a rank think?
It may seem like a trivial matter, but if it irritates the nerves of certain cadres and makes them feel unbalanced, it would be fine if they complain a few words. But if they vent their anger at work and keep competing with you secretly, wouldn't that be creating trouble for themselves?
At this time, Qian Lingyun smiled calmly and said to Yuan Qingjiang, "Well, I didn't think it through. Tonight is to celebrate Li Lin's award, and also to reward the comrades of the Restructuring Office and all the staff of the Municipal Government Office for their recent work results. It is a bit inappropriate to praise Xiao Lin alone. Your arrangement is very reasonable. Let's leave it as it is. Don't move."
Yuan Qingjiang smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, then I won't move. Before we serve the dishes, would you like to say a few words?"
"Okay, let me say a few words."
After saying that, Qian Lingyun stood up with a smile.
Yuan Qingjiang waved to everyone in the hall, signaling everyone to be quiet and listen to Mayor Qian's speech.
Everyone sat up straight at once, their faces serious, and looked at Qian Lingyun who was standing in the main seat with smiles in their eyes.
Qian Lingyun just nodded slightly to everyone and spoke.
"I won't say any more empty words. The main purpose of today is to eat and drink!"
"So why do we need to gather everyone together for dinner and drinks today?"
"I believe everyone knows that Pingyang recently completed a major investment promotion project. In order to facilitate this investment, our comrades in the municipal government have made tremendous efforts, especially the comrades in the restructuring office. In the most difficult moments, they not only did not retreat, but became more courageous.
In order to help the cotton mill revive and let thousands of laid-off workers find a way to make a living, they worked hard day and night! In the end, Jianghai Group invested 5 billion yuan in our Pingyang Cotton Mill! Here, on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone. Thank you! "
Wow~
As soon as he finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience.
Qian Lingyun's speech was very down-to-earth, without so many official jargons, and seemed simple and friendly.
After hearing this, everyone present felt their blood boiling, as if they had seen with their own eyes the dilapidated cotton mill rising from the ground, and the laid-off workers who could not afford to eat getting jobs again... At this moment, no matter how hard or tiring it was, they felt it was worth it!
Especially the group of comrades at Li Lin's table, they couldn't help but shed tears when they heard Qian Lingyun's praise and the warm applause from the audience.
During the days when the merchants lost contact, they worked in shifts, and all of them had dark circles under their eyes, but they had no complaints. During the time when Ren Jianghai was missing, they remained calm, held on to their posts, and finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
In the early days of the cotton mill reconstruction, they ran sales, solicited sponsorship, and coordinated... They were so tired that they fell asleep as soon as they touched the bed every day, but they enjoyed it. It was a good deal to exchange the efforts of a few people for the happy life of the majority, so no matter how tired or hard it was, they felt it was worth it.
Qian Lingyun then continued, "The second thing is that our Reorganization Office Group Leader Li Lin stood out in this provincial top ten outstanding youth selection and was recognized by a group of leaders of the provincial party committee and government. He was awarded the honorary title of "Top Ten Outstanding Youth" by Secretary Wang of the provincial party committee himself."
"Everyone knows that our Pingyang City has not received such a great honor for many years! Although Li Lin received the award in his personal name, the three words "Pingyang City" will always be in front of his name!
He not only represents himself, but also represents the outstanding young cadres of Pingyang City! His performance in the provincial capital has allowed the people of Hanjiang Province to see the hard-working and enterprising side of the young cadres of Pingyang City!
So I say, Comrade Li Lin is the pride of our Pingyang City and a role model that all young cadres in Pingyang City should strive to learn from! "
After he finished speaking, there was thunderous applause again.
Li Lin stood up solemnly, walked from behind the table to the front of the stage, and bowed to the applauding crowd.
His appearance made the young cadres in the audience even more excited. The applause lasted for a long time, and some even stood up and shouted, "Li Lin, good job!"
Facing everyone's praise and commendation, Li Lin remained calm. He slowly turned around and humbly bowed to everyone to express his gratitude. Finally, he bowed deeply to Qian Lingyun and other city leaders, as if to say, without the correct leadership of the municipal government and the firm support of the city leaders, there would be no such proud achievements as I, Li Lin, have today, so I also sincerely thank you!
The dinner officially begins.
The dishes are ordinary, neither expensive nor luxurious, and the drinks are Pingyang local wine.
Even though the standard of the reception was not high, everyone was still very enthusiastic. Could expensive dishes compare to having the mayors accompany you for dinner?
Qian Lingyun took a bottle of wine in his hand and looked at it again and again. "52% alcohol, not bad. In the future, when our municipal government entertains guests, we should use more local wines and eat more local dishes. This can also be regarded as an endorsement for our own products."
Yuan Qingjiang thought Qian Lingyun was blaming him for not arranging the banquet to a low standard, so he apologized and said, "Mayor Qian, I lowered the standard of the banquet without asking for your consent in advance. If you think it is inappropriate, it is not too late for me to arrange it now."
