In the solemn and dignified conference hall of the Arcane City's City Hall, the sunlight shines through the tall stained glass windows, casting mottled shadows and adding a sacred atmosphere to the entire space.
Merlin was dressed in a gorgeous and solemn robe, sitting on the main throne. His majestic aura seemed to make the air freeze.
His eyes slowly swept across the group of focused civil servants below the stage, cleared his throat, and officially opened this important meeting concerning the future direction of the Arcane City.
"My dear colleagues, over the past period of time, we have witnessed the vigorous development of the Arcane City and achieved a series of remarkable interim results." Merlin's voice was deep and magnetic, echoing in the spacious hall. "From the city's planning and layout to the diversified economic development, from the practical improvement of people's livelihood to the prosperity of culture, every step forward is full of everyone's hard work and unremitting efforts. We have overcome many difficulties, whether it is the thorny problem of resource allocation, the coordination of interests between different forces, or the many obstacles in the early stage of the promotion and application of new technologies. We have not retreated, relying on our indomitable will and the spirit of cooperation to overcome them one by one."
He paused for a moment, picked up the magic crystal cup at hand, took a sip of the magical drink that could refresh the mind, and then said, "Now, the Arcane City has taken solid and powerful steps on the road of development. This undoubtedly strengthens our determination to work together wholeheartedly to seek greater development."
"We have deployed a series of strategic measures in a targeted manner, covering key areas such as industrial upgrading, talent introduction, and urban construction."
"In terms of industry, we have fully tapped into the magical resource advantages of the Arcane City and created a number of magic technology industry clusters with core competitiveness, which not only boosted local employment but also attracted a large amount of external investment. The work of introducing talents has achieved remarkable results, and elites from all over the country have flocked to the city, injecting fresh blood into the city's development. Urban construction is changing with each passing day. The high-end transformation of the upper city, the prosperity of commerce in the middle city, and the transformation of the lower city are all obvious to all."
Below the stage, Electrolux and a group of civil servants all had their heads down, their quills dancing rapidly on the parchment as they took notes earnestly.
Their faces were full of concentration, but they each had their own thoughts in their hearts.
Many people secretly complained that Secretary Meilin's speech level was too profound and unfathomable. They had listened for so long, but every time they felt confused and often fell into confusion.
But he dared not slack off at all. After all, after get off work, he had to study the speech word by word. If he did not understand it thoroughly, and if he did not perform well in the assessment organized by the secretary, his chances of promotion would be gone, and he would forget about benefits such as year-end bonus and thirteenth salary.
Although Electrolux is the mayor, Merlin has established the position of municipal party secretary above the mayor. Although most of the municipal party secretaries are also mayors, Merlin will never do anything strenuous.
All the dirty, tiring and hard work was done by the mayor, Electrolux, and as for showing off, that naturally had to be done by him, the secretary of the municipal party committee.
Merlin seemed unaware of the people's thoughts. His expression became more solemn and his tone more resolute: "However, we must not be fooled by the prosperity in front of us. We must be aware that the external environment is still complex and changeable, with challenges and opportunities coexisting. The situation in the Aize continent is turbulent, and the surrounding forces are eyeing us covetously. The tasks we face are still heavy and arduous. Therefore, we must focus on the present, make long-term development plans, and fight every tough battle. Strengthen our confidence in development, seize every development opportunity given to us by the times, and never relax for a moment."
At this point, Merlin stood up, resting his hands on the conference table, leaning forward slightly, and looking at everyone with a sharp gaze: "Next, we must proceed with the preparations for the next step in an orderly manner. On the one hand, in the economic field, we must continue to deepen the adjustment of the industrial structure, increase investment in the research and development of emerging magic technology, cultivate more high-value-added industrial chains, and enhance the voice of the Arcane City in the global economic landscape; on the other hand, in urban management, we must optimize the municipal service process, use magic information technology to build an intelligent management platform, and achieve accurate and efficient control of urban operations; in addition, there must be no relaxation in people's livelihood projects, and we must continue to increase the protection of education, medical care, housing and other fields, so that every citizen can share the fruits of development."
Finally, Merlin sat back in his chair, his tone turned gentle and encouraging: "Comrades, I firmly believe that as long as we work together and forge ahead, the Arcane City will be able to create even more brilliant achievements in the future. We shoulder the hope and future of this city, and everyone's efforts are indispensable."
At the end of the meeting, Merlin looked at Electrolux and calmly instructed, "Mayor Electrolux, after the meeting, please arrange to distribute "Meilin's Thoughts on Governing the City in the New Era" to all colleagues. Make sure everyone studies and understands it carefully. This is not only a guideline for current work, but will also be included in the core content of the civil service examination in the future."
As soon as these words were spoken, the civil servants in the audience immediately looked miserable, and all their eyes were cast towards the heavy book that the servants had brought to the table.
The large gold-plated words "Meilin's Thoughts on Governing the City in the New Era" on the cover were shining brightly, but in their eyes, they seemed like an insurmountable mountain.
Merlin's daily words are already obscure and difficult to understand, and now that they have been compiled into such a large book, how long will it take to finish learning them?
What is even more shocking is that many people couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts when they saw the big words "Volume 1" on the cover. Isn't it obvious that Volume 2 and Volume 3 will be released soon?
Thinking of the countless late nights in the future studying this book, everyone felt helpless and stressed. However, they could do nothing but sigh secretly and prepare to face this new round of "knowledge challenge".
However, many people secretly rejoiced that they had passed the examination to become civil servants in the Arcane City ahead of time. They heard that this book had been included in the required reading material for the current civil service selection examination, and it was knowledge that must be mastered, and a lot of its content would appear on the examination papers.
After the meeting, the heavy carved door of the city hall slowly opened, and civil servants filed out, many walking in groups of three or four. The corridor was suddenly filled with the sound of conversations. Their faces still showed some fatigue from the meeting, but their expressions revealed their concentration on the follow-up work. They were discussing enthusiastically the various affairs that had kept them busy recently.
