While having dinner at the Municipal Party School in the evening, Yuan Fangguo met the school leaders and teachers. When facing Zhang Shunzhong, he politely asked how he was.
Zhang Shunzhong had a good impression of Yuan Fangguo, mainly due to the time when he bravely fought against the gangsters in the car. In Zhang Shunzhong's view, Yuan Fangguo had a chivalrous temperament.
However, Zhang Shunzhong had no idea what happened in Dahai Township this time.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the mobilization meeting began at the Municipal Party School. The main purpose of this mobilization meeting was to explain the purpose and significance of this internship, and put forward several requirements.
At the same time at the meeting, Zhang Shunzhong also told them a piece of news, that is, a speech contest will be held in Ya City in two days, and the organizers warmly invited them to participate.
As soon as Zhang Shunzhong finished speaking, Wu Guoping excitedly said to Yang Tengtao, "Brother Tao, public speaking is your strong point. If you don't go, I don't think anyone else will dare to go."
Yang Tengtao smiled slightly. He really enjoyed the flattery from his younger brother.
…
In the next few days, they visited factories, enterprises, government agencies, martyrs' cemeteries...all the places that could be visited were visited.
During the days of visiting the city, Yuan Fangguo tried to contact his girlfriend as much as possible, but in order not to attract too much attention, he tried to mainly send messages.
The night before they set off for their actual grassroots internship, the speech contest organized by the Municipal Party Committee started on time in the Party School auditorium.
As the head of the Organization Department of the Ya'an Municipal Party Committee, Xu Liming naturally also came to the scene.
In this speech contest, Xu Liming is the highest leader of Ya City. According to convention, he will meet with the summer internship team of Bashu University.
At the entrance of the auditorium, the students had already lined up, waiting for the arrival of Xu Liming and Zhang Shunzhong.
In terms of rank, Zhang Shunzhong is at the level of a full-time department head, while Xu Liming is at the level of a deputy department head. However, in terms of real power, the head of the Organization Department of a prefecture-level municipal party committee is still stronger than the dean of a college at Bashu University.
After waiting in line for less than five minutes, Xu Liming followed Zhang Shunzhong to the front of the auditorium, chatting and laughing.
Xu Liming had sharp eyes and immediately spotted Yuan Fangguo standing in the crowd.
He subconsciously nodded at Yuan Fangguo.
The reception ceremony was very short, consisting of nothing more than a speech to encourage the students. Xu Limin's speech was straightforward and concise, and he finished it in less than five minutes.
After listening to his speech, Yuan Fangguo suddenly had a feeling deep in his heart, that is, even though he did not know Xu Liming, he could feel from this short speech that Xu Liming was a doer.
After finishing his talk, Xu Liming even let the students go in first.
The speech contest started on time at 7 o'clock in the evening. Yang Tengtao had previously registered and participated as a contestant from Bashu University. He ranked sixth.
According to the rules of the speech contest, each contestant's speech time shall not exceed 5 minutes, so after several contestants came up and down, it was soon Yang Tengtao's turn.
Yang Tengtao walked to the front of the stage, looking energetic. He then spoke in his standard Mandarin: "Dear leaders, dear teachers and students, I am Yang Tengtao from the Chinese Department of Bashu University. The title of my speech today is "The Heroic Dreams of Students in the 1990s"..."
Upon hearing the question, Yuan Fangguo was instantly surprised. He felt goosebumps all over his body... and the expressions of Liu Wenbo and Yang Jianfeng, who were sitting on his left and right, were almost the same as his. They were both surprised and felt as disgusted as if they had eaten a fly.
However, the final result once again surprised them. Yang Tengtao actually won the second place.
Liu Wenbo was quite disdainful of Yang Tengtao's ability to secure second place simply by talking. He even shook his head and whispered, "It's sad or a blessing to be able to win a place just by boasting. "
After the speech contest, Yuan Fangguo was about to go back to the dormitory with everyone, but was unexpectedly stopped by a young staff member.
"Hello, are you Comrade Yuan Fangguo?" The young man looked very polite, wearing a white shirt and carrying a briefcase. You could tell at a glance that he was someone who worked for the leader.
Yuan Fangguo nodded. "I'm Yuan Fangguo. May I ask who you are?"
"Minister Xu asked us to come and see you," the young man said with a smile, "He'll be waiting for you at the playground of the Municipal Party School in ten minutes."
Yuan Fangguo nodded at the young man, thanked him, and then quickly walked out of the auditorium.
After walking out of the auditorium with big strides and a look of urgency, his steps then slowed down. The auditorium was not far from the playground, and was only separated by a small garden.
Yuan Fangguo walked slowly through the small garden and came to the playground. The huge playground was empty. Except for a dim street lamp in each of the four corners, there was no lighting in the rest of the place. Chatting in this place, privacy could still be basically guaranteed.
Yuan Fangguo did not wait in the middle of the playground for ten minutes. After about five minutes, he saw a figure walking down the stairs quickly.
Xu Liming was not tall, so he could only rely on his stride frequency to speed up when walking. Yuan Fangguo followed the dim street lights and immediately recognized that the figure was Xu Liming.
He also quickly approached the direction where Xu Liming was coming from.
When the two were about five meters apart, Xu Limin suddenly called out in a low voice, "Xiao Yuan."
"Uncle Xu." Yuan Fangguo smiled.
"I heard that you are going to the grassroots level tomorrow?" Xu Liming asked.
Yuan Fangguo nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Xu, we are going to Zhuhai Town in Heihai County tomorrow to investigate the local economic development."
"Oh, where are we going?" Xu Limin couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He quickly asked, "Who booked it for you?"
Yuan Fangguo shook his head. "I'm not sure. I guess it was decided by the college's Youth League Committee."
Upon hearing this, Xu Limin couldn't help but sigh and continued, "It seems you're still not very familiar with that place."
"Uncle Xu, what happened there?" Yuan Fangguo also asked quickly.
"The high-ranking officials of Dazhu Village in Zhuhai Town are not ordinary people. When you get there, it is better not to have conflicts with them." Xu Limin warned with a frown on his face.
"Uncle Xu, do you mean that the village official is a village bully?" After hearing Xu Liming's words, Yuan Fangguo was not afraid. Instead, he became excited like a bloodthirsty man in his heart.
Xu Liming also knew that Yuan Fangguo was a chivalrous man. After thinking about it, he decided to tell Yuan Fangguo about the situation in Dazhu Village, Zhuhai Town.
