Chapter 102: Return to Baishu Bay

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Fan, who had handed over his work, went to Baishu Bay Township to take office. County Party Committee Secretary Gao Yuanfei personally sent him to take office.

On the way, Lu Fan pondered again and again and said to Gao Yuanfei: "Secretary, I want to ask you for something."

"You say."

"That driver who caused the accident, the family members will not reconcile, he must go to jail, the longer the better!"

Gao Yuanfei thought for a moment and said: "Okay, I will call the court to deal with it strictly and heavily! Xiao Fan, life indeed has many things that are not smooth, but you have to face them. The past is not satisfactory, and being strong is the only choice. Don't be trapped by past things, always look up and look forward. Time comes head-on, and all tribulations will eventually be released. You are only in your twenties, have a great future, life is very long, the world is very big, and there are many things worth doing. Life will eventually be beautiful!"

"Secretary, thank you for your concern, I will turn grief into strength, and devote all my energy to work. I also want to thank you for your consistent trust and promotion. Baishu Bay Township will definitely carry out various work under the strong leadership of the County Party Committee, resolutely implement the various decision-making deployments of the County Party Committee, and strive to be loyal, reliable, and responsible!"

Entering the Baishu Bay boundary, the potholed road was very bumpy. Lu Fan had a flash of inspiration and said: "Secretary, Baishu Bay is the poorest township in the county, which has a lot to do with this road. If you want to be rich, you must first build a road. With this rotten road, it is difficult to transport agricultural products. Should it be renovated?"

Gao Yuanfei laughed: "The buttocks haven't arrived yet, so you started fighting for benefits for Baishu Bay? The thinking is correct. If an official doesn't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes. You also know that the projects and funds in Ningyang in the past two years are concentrated in Zhouchuan Town. After all, Wang Hongtao pushed Zhouchuan to the whole country. The county is planning the key project construction in 2013. I will pay attention to see if this road can be included in the plan."

"I knew the Secretary wouldn't ignore me, letting me go to take office empty-handed. Baishu Bay has 6 million in debt, it's really worrying!"

Gao Yuanfei said helplessly: "In a poor and remote place, what did they do? What results did they make? Can they owe so much money? Every township is like this! It's useless for you to tell me this, the County Head manages the money."

Although the Secretary doesn't manage the money, the Director of the Finance Bureau is appointed by you, dare he not listen?

Along the way, Lu Fan couldn't stand the soft and hard bubbles, and Gao Yuanfei finally agreed to give Lu Fan 300,000 "start-up funds", solving two problems in one discussion.

This is the benefit of the leader's secretary. He can come into contact with the work of the whole county, where there is money, and where money can be obtained, he is clear.

Coupled with the fact that Gao Yuanfei really wanted to help Lu Fan, after all, it was the secretary who was sent down, and it would be faceless if he didn't do well.

Arriving at the township government, several leaders had been waiting for a long time. Mayor Cui Mingliang was one step faster, helping Gao Yuanfei open the car door, and Lu Fan got off from the other side.

"Welcome the Secretary to inspect and guide the work, welcome Secretary Lu!"

Gao Yuanfei said lightly: "I am here to send you a 'backbone'. There is a meeting at five o'clock. Lu Fan, convene a meeting of all cadres!"

"Okay, Secretary!" Lu Fan then said to Cui Mingliang: "Mayor Cui, notify all cadres to have a meeting."

"Okay, notify immediately."

Gao Yuanfei walked straight towards the conference room, and Lu Fan and other leaders followed closely behind.

After sitting on the podium, the cadres of the township government entered the conference room one after another, finding seats to sit down in a regular manner. This was their first time attending a meeting with the County Party Committee Secretary, and the whole room was silent.

Not long after, Mayor Cui Mingliang came in and sat on the podium.

Gao Yuanfei asked: "How many establishments do you have?"

"Secretary, the township government has a total of 56 establishments, 13 administrative establishments and 43 career establishments."

Gao Yuanfei said angrily: "None of them go to work? Only so few people came? What a system! Is the cadre style of Baishu Bay so lazy? Is the salary so easy to earn? Wait another five minutes, those who can't come will be dealt with seriously!"

Lu Fan felt warm in his heart, knowing that the Secretary was helping himself. Cadre style is the guarantee for advancing all work. If you don't even go to work, what style can you talk about? A few years ago, when he worked in Baishu Bay, half of the people didn't go to work.

Five minutes later, Gao Yuanfei said with a darkened face: "Ningyang still has this kind of unit? Tongyu, immediately notify the Discipline Inspection Commission to send a working group to Baishu Bay. This kind of 'lazy and loose' style must be rectified. Those who should be dealt with must be dealt with!"

Pausing, he said again: "Okay, meeting now! I will first announce the personnel adjustment regarding Baishu Bay Township: After research by the County Party Committee, Comrade Lu Fan is appointed as the Baishu Bay Township Party Committee Secretary.

Comrade Lu Fan has strong ideological and political quality, firm ideals and beliefs; strong sense of career, outstanding work performance; good at learning, high personal comprehensive quality; rigorous style, strong sense of integrity and self-discipline; strong coordination ability, good at communication, and can get along with the masses.

Comrades, the task of promoting the development of various undertakings in Baishu Bay Township is arduous and the responsibility is heavy. I hope Comrade Lu Fan will live up to the trust, not disgrace the mission, emancipate the mind, forge ahead, seek truth and be pragmatic, and make the work of Baishu Bay Township go further!

I also hope that everyone present can actively support and cooperate with Comrade Lu Fan to carry out work, perform their duties in their respective positions, unite and cooperate, work hard, and make new and greater contributions to the development of Baishu Bay Township with first-class work performance!

Finally, I will emphasize one point. Regarding the 'lazy and loose' and 'eating empty salary' in Baishu Bay Township, the township government and the County Discipline Inspection Commission must take it seriously and absolutely cannot 'fire empty guns'. Those involved must be investigated one by one and dealt with one by one. Absolutely cannot tolerate evil, let it go, report the handling results to me, and submit it to the County Party Committee Standing Committee for research and decision.

Okay, below, please ask Comrade Lu Fan to speak, everyone welcome!"

Gao Yuanfei took the lead in applauding, and the conference room immediately sounded with warm applause.

Lu Fan stood up and bowed to signal, then sat down and said: "First of all, I am very grateful for the organization's cultivation and the County Party Committee's trust, giving me the opportunity to contribute to the development of Baishu Bay Township. From today on, I will work with everyone to make my greatest efforts to promote the economic and social development and various undertakings of Baishu Bay Township.

In this regard, I feel the heavy responsibility and face great pressure and challenges. Only by being public-spirited and doing my best can I live up to the trust of the County Party Committee and the heavy trust of the people of Baishu Bay.

I will unite with everyone present and strive to do the following points well:

First, implement the various decision-making deployments of the County Party Committee and County Government without compromise, do not engage in each doing things in their own way, have policies above and countermeasures below, and resolutely safeguard the overall situation.

Second, study diligently, investigate carefully, adapt to the role as soon as possible, adapt to work needs, and complete the annual target tasks with high quality with everyone.

Third, unite closely with everyone, share weal and woe, set a model, take the lead, concentrate on construction, and seek development wholeheartedly."

Fourth, be clean in politics, correctly understand and use the power in your hands, do things cleanly, be a person cleanly, be a loyal, clean, and responsible leading cadre, and resolutely fight against corruption.

Finally, I would like to ask everyone to work with me with bare shoulders. Under the leadership of the County Party Committee and County Government, share weal and woe, sail in the same boat, make Baishu Bay change greatly, and let the people live better lives. Thank you all!"

After the applause ended, Mayor Cui Mingliang spoke, expressing his firm support and firm obedience to the County Party Committee's decision, resolutely safeguarding the authority of the Township Party Committee, consciously accepting the unified leadership of the Township Party Committee, implementing the Township Party Committee's decisions without compromise, and fully supporting and cooperating with Comrade Lu Fan to carry out work, ensuring that various work in Baishu Bay is orderly connected, effectively promoted, and makes the County Party Committee and County Government at ease, and the people of the whole township satisfied.

After the meeting, Gao Yuanfei returned to Ningyang, and when he left, he urged again to take out the handling opinions as soon as possible.

When getting on the car, Lu Fan leaned over and whispered: "Secretary, I found that there is still a vacancy for a Deputy Mayor."

"You decide for yourself, report the candidate to the Organization Department."

"Thank you, Secretary, for your support!"

"Work hard, don't lose face for me!"

Watching the Secretary's special car leave, Cui Mingliang smiled and said: "Secretary Lu, welcome back to Baishu Bay again. I have arranged for someone to clean up the office. See what is missing and we will make up for it."

"Mayor Cui, we are old friends. You know I don't care about those. It's fine to work. From now on, we will fight in the same trench. I hope we can cooperate happily. Go, let's sit in the office for a while."

"Okay, there are several tasks to report."

The office is still the one of Secretary Li Daqiang back then. Shi Qiancheng has gone to the Agriculture Bureau to take office, and he got a big benefit for no reason. He even specifically called Lu Fan to express his gratitude.

Sitting in the office chair, Lu Fan was full of emotion. Once, this office was high above and out of reach for him. He didn't even dare to dream of working here.

Time flies, fleeting. Five years passed quickly. Looking back on the road, the road was bumpy, met along the way, said goodbye along the way, flowers bloomed and fell, between gains and losses, joys and sorrows, the past has become a memory.

For the rest of my life, I wish you to understand the burden in my heart, accompany me at all times, bless me to get what I want, and successfully end this practice.

"Mayor Cui, I am in a bad mood, please forgive me."

"Alas, Secretary Lu, I understand. Life is like this, sometimes helpless and powerless."

"Work still has to be done. I counted just now at the meeting, 18 people were not at their posts. Did they fulfill the leave and cancellation system? According to the 'Management Measures for Leave and Cancellation of Work Personnel in County-level Organs and Institutions', the approval authority of the township government is a cumulative 20 days. If it exceeds 20 days, it must be reported to the County Party Committee Organization Department for approval. The issuance of wages and performance has other regulations. Did we strictly implement it? I estimate the Discipline Inspection Commission will arrive soon. This matter must be dug to the bottom, dealt with seriously, we must not cover up and tolerate, otherwise there is no way to explain to Secretary Gao."

Rating, five-star rating is needed, thank you for your support! ===== CHAPTER 103 =====
