Chapter 201: A Stroll

Busy until after five o'clock, Secretary Li Mingzhou stretched and came out of the office, gave the secretary some work, and prepared to go eat.

On the way to the canteen, the secretary chatted, "Secretary, a Ke-level cadre from Ningyang came just now to find you, and I blocked him back."

Li Mingzhou didn't care. Sometimes there are indeed people who have been greeted by leaders to handle things, and they will rush to the door, which makes him very disgusted.

Arriving at the canteen, the chef hurriedly cooked a few dishes according to the leader's taste.

Just eating, Li Mingzhou suddenly asked, "You said a cadre from Ningyang just now? What's his name?"

The secretary thought for a while and said, "I forgot, it seems to be the director of the Education Bureau."

"Is his name Lu Fan?"

The secretary hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, his name is Lu Fan." At this moment, he was a little panicked; the Secretary actually knew this name.

Unexpectedly, the Secretary said lightly, "Oh, call him later, I'll take a walk in the courtyard." Then he continued to eat.

How could the secretary dare to neglect? He immediately went out to call the Ningyang County Party Committee Office to ask for Lu Fan's contact information.

Lu Fan had already driven onto the highway when he suddenly received a notification from the Municipal Party Committee Office that Secretary Li actually wanted to see him. He hurriedly made a U-turn at the next exit and drove towards the Yingjiang Municipal Party Committee.

After parking the car, Lu Fan saw Li Mingzhou "walking in circles" in the Municipal Party Committee compound. He trotted to his side and said, "Secretary Li, are you looking for me?"

Li Mingzhou laughed, "You are looking for me, not me looking for you. Walk with me for a while."

Lu Fan didn't mention the secretary's matter and said, "I want to thank you for your promotion, but I was afraid of disturbing your work."

Li Mingzhou said while walking, "In your new job, you must strengthen your study and enter the working state as soon as possible."

"Secretary, I will definitely work hard and not live up to your trust."

"Remember you mentioned not long ago that Ningyang wants to impact the two top universities of 'Qingbei'. Is it a wild boast? Or are you confident? Our Yingjiang hasn't had students admitted to 'Qingbei' for many years!"

"Secretary, after the efforts of all the third-year high school teachers in Ningyang, a trend of 'comparing, learning, catching up, and surpassing' has formed in the high school. Everyone is holding their breath, and I believe that this year we will definitely achieve better results! As for 'Qingbei', it is the common expectation and beautiful vision of the people of the whole county. I firmly believe that as long as we fight persistently, this dream will one day become a reality!" Lu Fan's tone was full of firmness and confidence.

Li Mingzhou laughed and said, "Forget it, I accept this 'slipperiness' you played! Lu Fan, what problems still exist in Ningyang's 'Double High and Double Universal' acceptance this year?"

Talking about work, Lu Fan was naturally not afraid. He summarized 7 problems existing in various schools in Ningyang and reported them to Li Mingzhou.

Li Mingzhou nodded from time to time and said, "In the final analysis, it is still a money problem, but the financial situation of each county is there. If you want to squeeze out tens of millions of funds to invest in education, you have to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, which may delay other work. It seems that we still have to 'run to the ministry for money'!"

Lu Fan had self-knowledge about this kind of thing and kept silent.

After walking for a while, Li Mingzhou said, "I heard that the signboard of Baishu Bay's pepper lamb was created by you?"

"Secretary, the quality of Baishu Bay's lamb has always been very good. I focused on publicity and promotion, and then applied for the national geographical indication certification."

"Even good wine is afraid of deep alleys. After publicity, at least Baishu Bay lamb is quite famous in the province and has appeared in the special dishes received by the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government. Lu Fan, I'll give you a task. Next Friday, prepare 100 portions of the best pepper lamb and send them to the Provincial Office in Beijing. Accompany me to the Ministry of Education to see if we can strive for some benefits for Ningyang."

With such a good opportunity, Lu Fan was naturally full of joy and agreed!

After walking for more than half an hour, Li Mingzhou said, "I still have to go to work, you go back first. Don't forget about the lamb, let the Municipal Reception Office pay for the expenses."

"I guarantee to complete the task assigned by the Secretary with high quality and not delay your big event!"

On the way back to Ningyang, Lu Fan felt a bit dazed. Could the scene just now be a dream? As a small bureau director, he actually took a walk with a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee?

Could it be that good luck has come again, and he met a noble person?

Lu Fan didn't have that realization. He didn't know that the stronger a person's ability, the easier it is to meet noble people. Noble people are not met at home, but on the road.

The strong will only appreciate a person who is becoming strong, because he sees his former self in you, sees the path he came from, and will appreciate you and support you!

On January 20, Lu Fan went to work as usual, but his heart was extremely restless, because the appointment and removal documents of the Municipal Organization Department had already been drafted, and they would likely be issued to each county today, meaning he was about to become a Deputy County Chief!

At 8:10, Lu Fan received a call from the Municipal Organization Department, notifying him to go immediately, which should be a pre-appointment talk.

Hurrying to the Municipal Organization Department, under the arrangement of the staff, a Deputy Minister had a simple talk with Lu Fan, completely following the process.

At 2:00 PM, the Cadre Section Chief of the Municipal Organization Department arrived in Ningyang County.

County Party Committee Secretary Hu Chengwei convened an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee, and Lu Fan was notified to attend.

At the meeting, the Cadre Section Chief read the Municipal Party Committee's document on the adjustment of the Ningyang leadership team: Executive Deputy County Chief Yang Chuanbei was adjusted to Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee, Organization Department Head Hao Qiang was adjusted to Executive Deputy County Chief, Comrade Mi Xuwen was appointed as a Standing Committee member and Deputy County Chief, and Comrade Lu Fan was nominated as a candidate for Deputy County Chief;

The Standing Committee member, Deputy County Chief, and Propaganda Department Head were transferred out;

Jiang Guanyu, Head of the Talent Section of the Municipal Organization Department, served as a Standing Committee member of the Ningyang County Party Committee and Head of the Organization Department. He was the secretary of Li Guoquan, Deputy Minister of the Provincial Organization Department, when he left Yingjiang; Yue Aoxue was appointed as a Standing Committee member of the County Party Committee and Head of the Propaganda Department.

Since then, the Ningyang County Party Committee team has been equipped, and the County Government is still missing a female Deputy County Chief. I don't know why it wasn't in place this time.

Lu Fan looked very immature and very conspicuous among the leaders.

After the meeting, Lu Fan went to Hu Chengwei's office to sit for a while, which was equivalent to reporting.

Hu Chengwei laughed, "A hero is really a boy! Lu Fan, I watched you grow up step by step. Seeing that you can enter the County Government leadership team, I am sincerely happy and gratified, and I congratulate you!"

Lu Fan responded, "Being able to achieve current results is inseparable from the Secretary's consistent care, help, and promotion! In the future, I will definitely work twice as hard, actively fulfill my duties under the leadership of the County Party Committee and County Government, go all out to carry out work, and repay the organization's trust and cultivation with actual actions and better performance!"

Hu Chengwei nodded and said, "The task in education this year is very heavy. First is the acceptance of 'Double High and Double Universal'. After spring, we must make up for the shortcomings immediately. Before the end of the summer vacation, all school building maintenance and newly built campus projects must be completed; second is the adjustment of principals. It is not a long-term plan for the deputy director to concurrently serve as principal; third is the middle and high school entrance exams. Not only are the cadres and masses of the whole county looking forward to it, but even the city and province are paying attention. Whether we can create a provincial key high school and a provincial high-quality high school depends on this year's exam results!"

Lu Fan nodded heavily and said, "Secretary, I will personally grasp the actual work, focus on the education and teaching quality of the graduating class, and definitely not live up to the expectations of the County Party Committee and County Government!"

"You still have to concurrently serve as the Education Bureau Director for the time being. It's really not easy to find a candidate!" In fact, this director made Hu Chengwei very difficult. Many heavyweight figures greeted him, and he couldn't afford to offend anyone, so he could only drag it out for the time being.

Lu Fan said straightforwardly, "Secretary, I obey the organization's arrangements and can 'vacate the bench' at any time!"

Returning to the County Government, Lu Fan went to County Chief Bian Jide's office, looking much more relaxed.

Bian Jide asked, "Have you been to the Secretary's?"

Lu Fan laughed, "Just came back from there, said some scene words, and Secretary Hu gave some work instructions."

"You must seriously complete the work assigned by the Secretary. This is a sense of the overall situation. Your office is arranged in the room to my right, so it's convenient for me to call you."

Lu Fan looked bitter and said, "County Chief, you are preparing to manage me to death!"

Bian Jide laughed, "You are not mature yet, I have to keep a close eye on you! Let's talk about business. Tomorrow we will hold a Standing Committee meeting to announce the division of labor. You will be responsible for education, science and technology, culture, health, quality supervision, women and children, Red Cross, disabled persons, etc. You will be in charge of the Education Bureau, Science and Technology Bureau, Health Bureau, Culture Bureau, Tourism Bureau, Radio and Television Bureau, Quality Supervision Bureau, Red Cross Society, Sports Commission, Science and Technology Association, Meteorological Bureau, etc. How about it?"

Lu Fan felt a headache and said, "County Chief, I will definitely obey your arrangements, but can we discuss it? Leave only culture, education, and health, and cut out the others?"

Bian Jide said, "People are all fighting to manage industries and units, and you are actually complaining?"

"County Chief, people's energy is limited, my focus is still on education."

"This is definitely not okay. There are dozens of units in the whole county, don't think about being lazy, obey the arrangements, don't bargain with me!"

"Good, good, resolutely obey the organization's arrangements, and take your orders as the highest instructions!"

"It's a light punishment for you not to let you manage petitions. By the way, who do you plan to use to coordinate your office deputy director?"

Lu Fan had an idea early on and said, "County Chief, what do you think of Xia Li, Deputy Director of the Policy Research Office?"

Bian Jide rolled his eyes at Lu Fan and said, "Xia Li is just a deputy position in an internal organization, you need an Office Deputy Director to coordinate. What? Just became Deputy County Chief, and you want to intervene in the personnel adjustment of the government office?"

Lu Fan accompanied with a smiling face, "After all, I know the roots and the bottom, no need to run in, it's easier to use, please accommodate me!"

"Let Xia Li coordinate you for the time being, we'll talk about the Deputy Director later!"

"Thank you for your support, County Chief. I didn't expect to work for you. I'll go to the office to see, call me if you have anything."

Just as he was about to go out, Lu Fan suddenly remembered the matter Secretary Li Mingzhou had explained. He certainly couldn't hide it from the County Chief, so he leaned over to Bian Jide and said, "County Chief, I have to ask for leave on Thursday and Friday."

Bian Jide looked unhappy and said, "Just took office, it's best not to ask for leave, it has a bad influence."

Lu Fan said helplessly, "No way, Secretary Li Mingzhou of the Municipal Party Committee explained to prepare 100 pieces of pepper lamb and let me go to the capital with him."

"What?" Bian Jide said in surprise, "What kind of dog shit luck did you have? This is a big event, don't delay it!"

"Alright, County Chief, Secretary Li said the expenses will be borne by the Municipal Reception Office."

Bian Jide immediately said, "Our Ningyang is not so poor that we can't afford a little lamb money. You just go ahead and do it, the expenses must be borne by the County Government, this is a death order!"

"Alright, County Chief, guarantee to complete the task!"
