Chapter 225: Ningyang is on Fire

12:10, County Head Bian Jide dialed the phone of Municipal Party Secretary Li Mingzhou.

After more than ten seconds, Li Mingzhou answered the phone and said, "Jide, is something the matter?"

Bian Jide said slightly excitedly, "Secretary, I'm sorry to disturb your rest! You have always been concerned about our Ningyang's educational work. The college entrance exam results have just been summarized, and I can't wait to report the good news to you!"

Li Mingzhou smiled and said, "Tell me, how many reached Tier 1? What is the highest score?"

"Secretary, the highest science score at Ningyang High School is 672, and the highest liberal arts score is 669. 430 people reached the Tier 1 line, 765 reached the Tier 2 line, and 321 reached the Tier 3 line..."

Li Mingzhou praised sincerely, "The results are really good, second only to Yingjiang Middle School and Experimental Middle School, and on par with No. 1 Middle School. It seems Lu Fan wasn't bragging! The results were hard-won, congratulations to you all!"

Bian Jide hurriedly said, "Thank you, Secretary, for your consistent care and support for Ningyang's education. We will definitely continue to work hard!"

At 2:30 in the afternoon, just as Li Mingzhou arrived at the office, he saw Hu Chengwei and Lu Fan waiting at the door.

Thinking of Bian Jide's report at noon, Li Mingzhou said calmly, "You arrived earlier than me, come in and talk."

After entering, Hu Chengwei reported excitedly, "Secretary, Ningyang's college entrance exam results are out. Knowing that you are concerned about Ningyang's education, I came to report the good news to you as soon as possible!"

Li Mingzhou smiled and said, "Tell me about it!"

"Secretary, Ningyang's senior students have been working day and night, constantly surpassing themselves. Under the joint efforts and hard work of all teachers and students, they finally lived up to expectations and bloomed with the most dazzling light on the stage of the college entrance exam! The highest science score in our county is 672, the highest liberal arts score is 669, and 430 people reached the Tier 1 line..."

Li Mingzhou listened patiently to Hu Chengwei's report, nodding from time to time to show approval. He looked at Lu Fan with his peripheral vision and revealed a thought-provoking smile.

After Hu Chengwei finished reporting, Li Mingzhou said with a smile, "These results are not just a breakthrough in numbers, but a leap forward for Ningyang's educational cause. It witnessed the growth and progress of Ningyang's senior students and also laid a solid foundation for the future of Ningyang's education. We must give a thumbs up to these excellent children and cheer for Ningyang's educational cause! According to your ideas, the next step should be to tackle the tough problems of provincial key high schools and provincial demonstration high schools, right?"

Hu Chengwei immediately stated his position, "Secretary, for the 'Double Creation' work, we are full of confidence and determined to win! We will definitely embark on the journey of 'Double Creation' work with the attitude of 'must win if we fight, must succeed if we create'!"

"The 'Double Creation' work is a complex and systematic project that requires scientific planning and collective wisdom. Therefore, Ningyang has specially established a 'Double Creation' work leadership group, with Comrade Lu Fan serving as the team leader, specifically responsible for it. We will use the strength of the whole county to win these two honors, and the County Party Committee and County Government will definitely provide full guarantees in terms of funds and policies!"

Li Mingzhou asked, "Lu Fan, what specific ideas do you have?"

Lu Fan had been studying the "Double Creation" work for a long time and immediately reported, "Secretary, the 'Double Creation' work is an unprecedented cause for the people of Ningyang that will benefit future generations. We have carefully studied the 'Creation Management Measures' of the Provincial Department of Education, formulated a detailed 'Implementation Plan,' carefully analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the creation work, and clarified the focus of the creation work. We have held 8 special meetings one after another and decomposed the evaluation elements in the evaluation index requirements to individuals, determining the promotion timetable for software and hardware creation work. The entire creation work is orderly and standardized."

"As of now, according to the requirements of the 'Evaluation Rules,' we have implemented 31 third-level indicators under six first-level indicators item by item, actively making up for gaps. We will invite the Provincial Creation Leadership Group Office to Ningyang for a preliminary review during the summer vacation, and then make immediate corrections based on the feedback from higher authorities. In short, under the care and support of the Municipal Committee and the County Committee, we have the confidence to complete the creation work with high quality and lay a solid foundation for the take-off of Ningyang's educational cause!"

Li Mingzhou commented, "Having a direction and ideas is good, but more importantly, putting these thoughts into practice and taking it one step at a time, the results won't be bad. I hope to hear good news from Ningyang as soon as possible! In the process of creating the double key high schools, if there are matters that need the support of the Municipal Committee and Municipal Government, you can report to me at any time. I hope Ningyang High School will become a banner in the city's education field!"

Hu Chengwei immediately said, "Thank you for your strong support, Secretary. We will definitely live up to the trust of you and the Municipal Committee and successfully complete the 'Double Creation' work!"

The Municipal Party Secretary's time was precious, and Hu Chengwei did not dare to disturb him too much. Feeling that the expected effect had been achieved, he took the initiative to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Li Mingzhou said to Lu Fan, "The responsibility is great, the task is heavy, and the challenges are many. You must know how to turn pressure into motivation and solve problems and overcome challenges through solid work!"

Lu Fan hurriedly said, "Thank you for your guidance, Secretary. I will definitely keep it in mind and put it into practice!"

Coming out of Li Mingzhou's office, Hu Chengwei looked at his mobile phone and found that there were actually more than 20 missed calls from some friends.

After going downstairs, he started returning calls, not expecting that they were all here to congratulate Ningyang High School on its excellent results, making Hu Chengwei's smile unable to stop.

It turned out that Ningyang High School's good news had already been announced to the society and immediately attracted widespread attention and heated discussion throughout the city!

Who would have thought that a county high school would have more than 400 students reach the Tier 1 line? You know, the teaching quality in Yingjiang City wasn't great, and the old provincial key school, Yingzhong, only had over a thousand students reach the Tier 1 line, but that was through selective enrollment across the city.

In contrast, Ningyang High School had completely achieved the educational goal of "low entry, high exit," naturally receiving praise and pursuit from the people of the whole city.

On the way back to Ningyang, Hu Chengwei's phone didn't stop for a moment, and Lu Fan also received congratulatory calls from leaders of the Municipal Education Bureau.

After getting off the highway, one could see the masses on the streets and alleys gathered together, talking happily about something. There was no need to guess; it was 100% discussing the good news of Ninggao!

It can be said that today is a carnival day for Ningyang parents!

At this time last year, they were full of anxiety as they sent their children into Ninggao.

Now, Ninggao has rewarded the parents with an excellent report card that exceeded everyone's imagination. At this moment, it is no exaggeration to call the parents' mood one of gratitude!

When getting off the car, Hu Chengwei was very emotional and said earnestly to Lu Fan, "Education is the great plan of the country and the foundation of the people! If we can achieve results in educational work, it is also a remarkable political achievement!"

"Lu Fan, you must build the golden signboard of Ningyang High School well. The County Party Committee will fully support educational work. Secretary Li is very concerned about the 'Double Creation' work. Consider it a death order from me: you must win it!"

When going upstairs, Lu Fan found that the entire floor was shrouded in a joyful atmosphere. Almost every office he passed was discussing Ninggao's results heatedly. Everyone was talking with excitement, and their voices revealed unsuppressible excitement and pride.

Having a good high school is very important for a county. It is not only a cradle for cultivating talent but also a beacon of hope for a county. Ningyang's historical results this year undoubtedly gave the people of Ningyang a satisfactory answer and satisfied their earnest expectations for education.

For the people of Ningyang, this excellent result is a spiritual encouragement. It allowed people to see the hope of Ningyang's education and also gave more families confidence in their children's future.

At the same time, a good high school will also have a positive impact on the development of Ningyang County, injecting new vitality into Ningyang's economic, cultural, and social development, and becoming a bright new business card for Ningyang County.

After returning to the office for a few minutes, Executive Vice County Chief Hao Qiang walked in with a water cup and said with a smile, "Congratulations, congratulations! You have launched a satellite. I didn't expect our high school to have more than four hundred students reach the Tier 1 line!"

Lu Fan smiled and said, "There is a share of yours in the military merit medal. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts!"

"Haha, then I want to enjoy the fruits of victory too!" After speaking, Hao Qiang took out a piece of paper with dense information about some people, "Ninggao is on fire. There are a few relationships I can't push away, all from my hometown. They came to me at noon, wanting to stuff their children into our Ninggao. Can you handle it?"

Lu Fan took the list, looked at it, and said, "4 for the first year, 2 for the second year, 2 for the third year. It's not a big problem. I'll write it down first. When school starts for registration, the school will notify the parents."

Hao Qiang was very satisfied and said with a smile, "I knew you wouldn't refuse. We must drink this wine no matter what!"

Lu Fan smiled and said, "Why are we being polite? It's a good thing that people take the initiative to come to school. It's a bad thing if everyone runs away! I sincerely hope that Ninggao will be run better and better. It's best if high school students from the whole city squeeze their heads to come here."

"Your pattern is big, but this is indeed a good thing. Those who come to Ningyang from other counties to study won't have bad family conditions. Won't their food, drink, and daily needs stay in Ningyang? Didn't Hengshui get on fire because of one school?"

Just as they were talking, Vice County Chief Mi Xuwen came in. Hao Qiang said, "Old Mi, I guess you are in the same routine as me. You guys talk, I have a meeting later."

After Hao Qiang went out, Mi Xuwen also took out a list and smiled, "I'm not late, am I?"

Lu Fan smiled and said, "In a few days, I guess there will be no play. Now it must be internal priority!"

"Understandable, our Ninggao is on fire, and you deserve the first credit!"

Before they talked for a few sentences, the County Head's secretary came to call people. Mi Xuwen hurriedly said, "You go ahead, I have to take this seriously!"

"Don't worry, I guarantee it will be implemented in place!"

Seeing the County Head, it was the same "recipe." Bian Jide took out a piece of paper and said, "There are too many people being stuffed in. Will it affect the teaching quality? Ninggao can't just be brilliant for these two terms!"

"County Head, don't worry. The most important thing for a school is the style of study. Since they came to Ningyang without fear of hardship, parents and students must attach more importance to it in their thinking. Attitude determines everything. Of course, it doesn't exclude that there will be 'troublemakers.' The school will manage them together and will definitely not affect the study of other students."

"Hmm, ensuring the school's teaching quality is the premise and bottom line. We must not bury the hard-won results, otherwise we will be sinners of Ningyang!" ===== CHAPTER 226 =====
