The atmosphere in the county party committee meeting room in Saikun County remained solemn.
County Party Secretary Zhou Zhiyuan stood in front of the conference table with a frown on his face. There was a determination glimmer in his eyes, but the bitterness at the corners of his mouth revealed his inner helplessness.
He knew very well that this discussion on "common prosperity" was destined not to be smooth sailing.
"Our goal is to enable all people in the county to share the fruits of development and achieve common prosperity."
Zhou Zhiyuan's voice was deep and powerful. "But the reality is, we are facing resistance and difficulties from all sides."
County magistrate Qin Xiaonan sat aside, her expression equally solemn.
She knew very well that this reform was not only a major challenge to Saikun County, but also a severe test for them personally.
She sighed softly and said, "We certainly didn't anticipate the pursuit and blockade by interest groups. But we can't back down because of this. We must persevere."
In the meeting room, other members of the Standing Committee also expressed their opinions.
Some people support Zhou Zhiyuan's idea, believing that only by achieving common prosperity can the people of the entire county truly live a good life;
But some people also expressed concerns, worrying that the reforms would affect the interests of some people and cause unnecessary trouble.
Just then, Mayor Qin Mingyue called.
She expressed support for Zhou Zhiyuan's idea and believed that it was a reform direction worth trying.
However, the attitudes of the municipal party secretary Tian Zhongming and deputy secretary Hu Kexin were completely different.
Although they did not express explicit opposition, they did not give much support either.
Zhou Zhiyuan knew very well that the road to this reform was destined not to be smooth.
But he also firmly believes that as long as they persist, they will be able to overcome difficulties and achieve common prosperity for the people of the entire county.
However, Guangming Group's chairman, Wenming Li, became a stumbling block on their road to reform.
He used his influence to lobby everywhere and tried to prevent the reform from happening.
He understood that if Zhou Zhiyuan's reform plan succeeded, it would seriously damage the interests of their interest groups.
Faced with obstruction from Wenmingli and others, Zhou Zhiyuan did not back down.
He knew very well that only through firm determination and unremitting efforts could these difficulties be overcome.
He decided to take action himself and have a face-to-face confrontation with Wenmingli.
By chance, Zhou Zhiyuan and Wenmingli met at a business event.
The two looked at each other and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Secretary Zhou, do you really think your reforms can succeed?" Wenmingli sneered, "You're just a small county party secretary. How can you possibly shake up international capital?"
When Zhou Zhiyuan heard this, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.
He stood up abruptly, looked Wenmingli straight in the eye, and said, "Wenmingli, you're wrong! I'm not fighting alone! I represent the interests and aspirations of the entire county! We must not only achieve common prosperity, but also create a fair and just social environment! No matter how you try to obstruct and suppress us, we will not give up!"
Wenmingli was shocked by Zhou Zhiyuan's words. He didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary county party secretary had such firm belief and determination.
He was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Secretary Zhou, you're right. Perhaps we should really rethink our actions."
After this meeting, Wenmingli's attitude changed subtly.
Although he did not completely give up his own interests, he no longer tried his best to obstruct the reform as before.
Zhou Zhiyuan also took the opportunity to increase the intensity of reform and gradually pushed Saikun County towards common prosperity through a series of policies and measures.
Although the road to reform is still full of challenges and difficulties, Zhou Zhiyuan believes that as long as they continue to persevere, they will be able to realize the dream of common prosperity for the people of the entire county.
At the Saikun County Party Committee Standing Committee meeting, County Party Committee Secretary Zhou Zhiyuan looked solemn again and again. His eyes swept over every standing committee member present, and everyone's face was filled with different emotions: confusion, doubt, and worry.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Comrades, our first topic is still 'common prosperity'. This is the purpose of our party and our responsibility. However, we must clearly understand that this road is not easy to walk."
County Magistrate Qin Xiaonan nodded in agreement. "Secretary Zhou is right. We can't just focus on the ideal, we must also recognize the harsh reality. The power of interest groups cannot be ignored. They have already begun to comprehensively encircle and obstruct our work."
The members of the Standing Committee began to discuss in low voices. It was obvious that they were all troubled by this issue.
As a poor county, although Saikun County has developed in recent years, the gap between the rich and the poor remains huge.
The concept of "common prosperity" proposed by Zhou Zhiyuan is undoubtedly a major challenge to the existing interest structure.
Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, and then the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Tian Zhongming, Deputy Secretary Hu Kexin and others walked into the meeting room.
Their sudden and unannounced appearance made the atmosphere of the meeting even more tense.
Tian Zhongming glanced around at the Standing Committee members present and said in a deep voice, "I hear you've been discussing 'common prosperity' time and again. It's a good idea, but we must also recognize the practical difficulties. Various forces cannot be underestimated, and we must proceed with caution."
Zhou Zhiyuan and Qin Xiaonan looked at each other and saw helplessness and determination in each other's eyes.
They know that although this road is difficult, they must continue.
At this moment, Wenmingli, chairman of Guangming Group in Yuebei City, broke into the meeting room.
His face was filled with anger, and he shouted loudly: "Zhou Zhiyuan, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to kill us? I'm telling you, we won't sit idly by!"
The appearance of Wenmingli brought the atmosphere of the meeting to a climax.
Zhou Zhiyuan and Qin Xiaonan both knew that they were facing not only obstruction from interest groups, but also pressure and misunderstanding from their superiors.
One plays the good guy, the other plays the bad guy, and they sing in unison, which is really full of drama!
However, just when everyone thought Zhou Zhiyuan would back down, he stood up and said with a firm gaze, "Wenmingli, you are wrong. We are not trying to cut off your financial resources; we are seeking a fairer and more sustainable path to development. Common prosperity is the purpose of our Party and our responsibility. We will not give up because of your obstruction."
Wenmingli was so angry at Zhou Zhiyuan's words that his face turned blue, but he also knew that he could not change Zhou Zhiyuan's determination.
In the end, he could only leave the meeting room angrily.
Secretary Zhou Zhiyuan couldn't understand why two heavyweights, Municipal Party Secretary Tian Zhongming and Deputy Secretary Hu Kexin, who also served as Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, were acting for interest groups like Wenmingli.
