The official document regarding the Shannan Ancient City Renovation Project has been released.
After reading it twice, Li Lin called Liu Yong and informed him that a special Standing Committee meeting would be held regarding this project. The first purpose was to convey the spirit of the document, and the second was to announce the establishment of a project command center.
Liu Yong just nodded and agreed without hesitation. After hanging up the phone, he called his secretary and asked him to immediately notify the standing committee members and government team members at home to hold a meeting on the sixth floor of the county party committee at 10 a.m.
Because the Shannan Ancient City Renovation Project is a major project that Shannan County has been calling for for several years, almost all county cadres are aware of it. There is no need to introduce the basic situation of the project separately. They can just hold a meeting to set up a special team, clarify responsibilities, and start work.
While the secretaries of the standing committee members were notifying the meeting, Liu Yong leaned back in his chair and squinted his eyes, thinking about how to start the meeting later, whether to follow the usual procedures or to hand the initiative directly to Li Lin, hinting to the standing committee members that the baton of Shannan County would be handed over to Li Lin in the future.
But on second thought, he felt something was wrong. Those who knew the situation thought that Liu Yong was going to be promoted, while those who didn't knew the situation thought that Liu Yong was being checked and balanced by the new county magistrate, Li Lin. If this kind of talk got out, it would damage his dignity. He should take it one step at a time. He couldn't completely hand over the power stick for the time being.
He thought of a compromise: Shannan would still be centered around him as the county party secretary, but the position of commander of the Shannan Ancient City project could be given to Li Lin. Logically, this was a project led by Secretary Wang of the provincial party committee, so the secretaries at both the city and county levels should be in charge. He gave the power of commander to Li Lin, and at the same time expressed his attitude of giving up power to Qian Lingyun, fully demonstrating his lofty vision.
Good, let’s do it.
If the Standing Committee members asked about it, he would say that he was old and had limited energy, so he would let the young man Li Lin take the lead while he would take care of the logistical support.
Having made up his mind, he immediately stood up and walked towards the meeting room with light steps.
At this time, the conference room was already full.
The position that symbolizes power is still reserved for him.
Li Lin was sitting in the first seat to his right.
"Okay, let's start the meeting!"
Liu Yong made the announcement loudly, and the venue instantly became quiet. Everyone sat up straight and looked at Liu Yong without blinking.
Comrades from the conference organizing committee distributed the documents issued by their superiors to everyone present.
Holding the document, Liu Yong read it carefully, then slapped it on the table and sighed, "Comrades, we have been looking forward to it for a long time, but the Shannan Ancient City project has finally been approved!"
Everyone was delighted, and followed Liu Yong's tone and said, "It wasn't easy. I don't know how many times I went to the provincial government... Finally it was approved! Our Shannan County will rely on this project to enter a stage of economic take-off. It's really a great thing!"
Organization Minister Shen Zhifei smiled so hard that his teeth were visible and his eyes were not. He raised his hand and suggested, "Secretary Liu, the Lantern Festival is coming soon. Our county has encountered such a big happy event. Should we organize the yangko and waist drum teams from various towns to come to the county town to have some fun? Let's celebrate?"
Propaganda Minister Yu Haifeng also said cheerfully, "Yes, street performances are an annual event. Why not organize a "light show" on a main road for three days? If it weren't for the higher-ups' regulations prohibiting the use of fireworks, we would definitely organize a grand fireworks show to liven up the Shannan people!"
As the topic unfolded, everyone started talking about things like singing opera, cultural performances... and everyone was excitedly making suggestions.
Because it was an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee, the heads of several units including county finance, development and reform, housing and urban-rural development were also present.
When Finance Bureau Director Pang Zekai heard that the county leaders were planning to hold various exhibitions, sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.
This exhibition must have cost hundreds of millions, right?
He is the purse of Shannan County. He knows very well how much money is in his pocket and whether it is enough to pay for these expenses. Although he smiled, he was very worried and could not help complaining that the salary was almost not paid, and they still had the mood to organize cultural performances? These leaders, wow, have nothing to do!
Liu Yong raised his hand to stop the commotion in the audience, and said with a smile, "I can understand everyone's excitement, but I think we should keep a low profile. Apart from the regular tours that have been held over the years, I think we should not organize any other cultural and artistic activities. Once our ancient city project is fully implemented and tax revenue is raised, we can let go and spend freely!"
Everyone nodded and stopped talking about celebrating.
Immediately afterwards, Li Lin conveyed the spirit of the document.
Let’s get to the point.
Liu Yong proposed to formally establish a command center for the ancient city renovation project, and symbolically asked everyone who would be suitable to serve as the commander-in-chief.
Everyone looked around and smiled without saying anything.
Deputy Secretary Chen Anke spoke first, "Secretary Liu, is there any need to ask this? This is a project led by Secretary Wang of the Provincial Party Committee. When it comes to the county, of course you will be the commander-in-chief."
Luo Xingbang, the chairman of the People's Congress, agreed with a smile, "Yes, Secretary Liu, you are the one who will carry the banner. We will surround you closely and follow your command."
Others also said, "Secretary Liu, there's no need to ask this. Of course you should take the lead on such an important project... If you replace someone else, it would be difficult for them to take on such a big responsibility!"
Everyone praised again...
Liu Yong waved his hand, waited for everyone to calm down, and said with a smile, "I propose that County Magistrate Li Lin be appointed as the general commander of the project. He is young and energetic. With County Magistrate Li taking the lead, I believe the project will be implemented smoothly."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, looking at Liu Yong and then at Li Lin in disbelief.
I wonder what Secretary Liu is up to? He should have taken the lead, but he gave it to Li Lin?
