Chapter 366: with translation of chapter title

Lu Fan has an apartment arranged by the County Party Committee in Ganshui; he usually goes there occasionally, and when his sister comes, it's perfect for her to stay there.

Li Zimeng also specially took extended leave, came to Ganshui to accompany Lu Yao, and to guide her emotions.

In late September, Yingjiang Municipal personnel adjustments were finalized: Municipal Organization Office Director Chen Hangji was transferred to become County Chief of Ningyang Xian; Municipal Discipline Inspection Committee Standing Deputy Secretary He Jiafeng was transferred to become County Chief of Xuyan County; Ceng Ming was reassigned as Political and Legal Committee Secretary of Zibei County; Yang Minghao was promoted to Political and Legal Committee Secretary of Hongqi County. In this way, Lu Fan gained 'friends' in every county.

The Municipal Party Committee Office also underwent a major reshuffle: Xia Li, Wu Wutong, and Liu Wei were promoted to Deputy Secretary-General; Zhao Zhiqiang and Zhang Chengyi were promoted to Deputy Directors of the Municipal Party Committee Office; Ma Desheng was reassigned as Director of the Municipal Party Committee Inspection and Supervision Office; Li Yanxin was promoted to Director of the Policy Research Office; Luo Zhiquan was promoted to Director of the Confidential Affairs Bureau; Cai Yingfeng was promoted to Director of the Government Affairs Service Center; Li Yifeng was promoted to Section Chief of Section Two. Although Lu Fan has left the Municipal Party Committee Office, this central department of the entire city remains under control.

In Ganshui, Chengguan Town Party Secretary Lin Hao was promoted to head of the Propaganda Department; Municipal Transportation Bureau Office Director Jia Dahua was promoted to a standing committee member of the Ganshui County Party Committee and concurrently appointed Party Secretary of Chengguan Town; Lu Fan's secretary Chen Zemin was also reassigned as deputy director of the County Party Committee Office. However, the County Chief post remains vacant because Lu Fan has not found a suitable candidate, and Deputy County Party Secretary Zhang Qianyuan's seniority is still insufficient, so they intend to hold off for now.

On September 25, Municipal Transportation Bureau Director Chen Xuyang went to Ganshui County for research, actually to see Jia Dahua off to his new post, and Lu Fan warmly received him.

Chen Xuyang smiled and said, 'Secretary Lu, I'm bringing you talent; Jia Dahua handles affairs meticulously and carefully, his work is painstaking and he constantly seeks improvement, and he has a strong sense of responsibility. If the Transportation Bureau didn't lack a leadership position, I would certainly be reluctant to let him go!'

Lu Fan laughed, 'Then I'll steal him away, and I also need to thank Director Chen for his strong support of Ganshui's transportation cause!' From Secretary Li Mingzhou he learned that Jia Dahua is a classmate of Wang Hongtao, so he naturally ought to be viewed differently; as long as he is capable, Lu Fan will vigorously cultivate him.

Jia Dahua declared that, under the leadership of the County Party Committee, he would actively carry out work and contribute his strength to Ganshui's development.

Lu Fan had Organization Department Head Chen Mutxue escort Jia Dahua to his post, while he himself accompanied Chen Xuyang to investigate Ganshui's transportation work.

At the Ganshui County urban bypass project on National Highway 210, watching the workers busy with construction, Chen Xuyang said with a smile, "Secretary Lu, this road's investment is 400 million yuan, this year I have arranged nine roads for Ganshui, and several deputy bureau chiefs have opinions about it!"

Lu Fan gratefully said, "The National Highway 210 urban boundary road, tourism highway project, and seven rural roads have eliminated over 40 safety hazards; with an investment of over 500 million yuan, Ganshui's transportation network has taken on a new look. Director Chen's support is as clear to me as a mirror, and I keep it in my heart."

Next, Lu Fan took Chen Xuyang to four townships, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the construction status of Ganshui's rural roads.

In the evening, Ganshui County held a banquet to warmly receive Chen Xuyang and his entourage; Lu Fan specially invited the newly appointed Jia Dahua to accompany the drinks.

Before the banquet began, Lu Fan said to Chen Xuyang, 'With the strong support of the Municipal Transportation Bureau, Ganshui's transportation construction is advancing by leaps and bounds, helping all of Ganshui's endeavors take off! Next, the focus of Ganshui's transportation work is to build a provincial demonstration county for 'four-good rural roads,' and we hope to receive strong support from Director Chen and the Municipal Transportation Bureau!'

Chen Xuyang said with a smile, 'No county in Yingjiang has yet shouted this slogan; if you have this ambition and lofty aspirations, the Municipal Transportation Bureau will certainly give strong support!'

Lu Fan immediately assigned this task to Jia Dahua, letting him take the lead in creating a provincial demonstration county for 'four-good rural roads'; this is called precise 'person-post matching,' making the most of talents, fully utilizing abilities, and achieving results.

The stage has been set for Jia Dahua; whether he can succeed depends on his abilities.

The entire banquet was filled with a lively atmosphere; Lu Fan and Chen Xuyang interacted frequently, and everyone's laughter and cheer continued without end.

Thanks to recent online publicity, Ganshui County's tourism growth has been rapid. Facing the upcoming National Day Golden Week, Ganshui County planned ahead and made careful preparations, specifically from three aspects—enriching product supply, optimizing service guarantees, and advocating rational consumption—to ensure the prosperity, stability, and order of the county's cultural and tourism market.

On September 26, Ganshui County convened a tourism service guarantee coordination meeting, and County Party Secretary Lu Fan personally arranged the deployment.

The county tourism bureau and China Youth Travel Service jointly planned and held the theme series activity "Enjoy October 1st, All Travel Ganshui", launching 25 cultural and tourism activities in five major sections: flower viewing and spring outings, leisure self-driving, red memories, Ganshui cuisine, and parent-child trendy play. Targeting independent and self-driving tourists, they launched six major themed routes: Ganshui cultural exploration tour, in-depth Grand Canyon tour, forest park experience tour, ecological mountains and waters sightseeing tour, red footprint patriotic tour, and charming countryside leisure tour.

Lu Fan demanded that publicity, public security traffic police, transportation, safety supervision, industry and commerce, etc., further comprehensively sort out and carefully deploy work on information release, traffic guidance, passenger vehicle operation, safety production, etc., in tourism service guarantees; the whole county must welcome visitors from all directions with the best service. For all uncivilized phenomena of overcharging tourists, the Public Security Bureau and relevant law enforcement departments must impose the strictest crackdown!

At the start of the National Day holiday, the Grand Canyon scenic area and Lao Mountain Forest Park were extraordinarily lively, with a steady stream of sightseers climbing and viewing the scenery, ushering in a small tourism peak, and the on-site order was well organized.

County Party Secretary Lu Fan shuttled around the clock between these two scenic areas, conducting overt and covert inspections of tourism environment safeguards, promptly discovering and resolving problems.

"Lao Mountain Park in autumn is truly beautiful; I had always wanted to bring my kids but never had the chance. This time, taking advantage of the National Day holiday to go hiking, it was truly worth the trip."

"The Grand Canyon is very spectacular, and the park's amusement facilities are also very exciting; I will definitely come again if I get the chance!"

"We are a senior outdoor activity group, with a total of 36 elderly people plus 2 drivers. After seeing the Grand Canyon, we feel the stones inside the canyon possess a strong artistic beauty, truly a masterpiece of nature; that kind of supernatural craftsmanship gives us an aesthetic enjoyment."

……

Lu Fan constantly communicated with tourists to understand their experience, in order to improve and enhance Ganshui's tourism quality.

The first autumn camping event saw many people choosing the holiday campsite in Lao Mountain Forest Park; thanks to its trendy and romantic style, it attracted numerous visitors to check in, take photos, and camp, enjoying the leisurely tranquility away from crowds.

During the "October 1st" Golden Week, the whole county received over 280,000 tourist visits, with comprehensive revenue of 190 million yuan; the Grand Canyon alone received 120,000 visits, and tourism comprehensive revenue grew by 125% year-on-year—this is absolutely explosive for a county!

On the last day of the holiday, Lu Fan specially went to Chang'an City to congratulate Han Xinpu on his "return to Chang'an for the second time"!

Chengcang Municipal Party Secretary Guo Mingxiong was promoted to Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee; Han Xinpu, this chief secretary, followed him to the Provincial Political and Legal Committee, serving as director of the office.

Han Xinpu was on duty at his unit, and Lu Fan went straight to his office.

After meeting, Han Xinpu happily said, "I, Han Han San, am back again! Lu Fan, Chang'an is still the best!"

Lu Fan laughed, "Now we also have a 'backing' in the political and legal system! Xinpu, congratulations, being office director is awesome; Secretary Guo values you greatly and takes you wherever he goes. In another two years, once your seniority is enough, if you are transferred out you'll become a regional bigwig!"

"Thanks for your kind words! Lu Fan, you're not bad either—you've been county party secretary for two years. I've been keeping an eye on Ganshui; its GDP is rising like a rocket. In the past couple days there have been many tourism videos of yours online, with excellent reviews. I think you're about to be promoted again!"

Lu Fan said, "We brothers don't need to flatter each other; just do our jobs well. Xinpu, Le Xue Ren has been investigated by the Discipline Inspection Committee, you know that, right?"

Han Xinpu nodded and said, "A couple days ago, Secretary Hong Tao came to the Political and Legal Committee and talked with Secretary Guo for a long time; I overheard some news by chance that the Discipline Inspection Committee has gathered some evidence, and Le Xue Ren probably won't be able to get out."

"Hey, you might not know, but Le Xue Ren was taken by my sister Lu Yao on her own initiative; this could be considered a fortunate accident!"

Han Xinpu exclaimed in surprise, "Yao Yao is that fierce! What's her situation now?"

"She's been suspended for reflection, but it doesn't matter; as long as we can take down Le Xue Ren, everything she's done is worth it!"

"You're right; even if she gets expelled, it's worth it! Lu Fan, if Yao Yao wants to do anything next, I'll definitely help if I can; we can't let our sister be wronged!"

Lu Fan thought for a moment and said, "Xinpu, I want to ask you for a favor!"

"We brothers don't talk about whether to ask or not; just tell me what it is!"

"The third and fourth sons of the Le family have been sentenced, but now they're both out on medical parole, receiving none of the punishment they deserve!"

Han Xinpu thought and said, "Le Xue Ren is probably done for; damn it, we can't let those two bastards get away scot-free! I'm not too familiar with the leaders of the Provincial Judicial Department, so let me work on it for a while; if I can't manage, I'll go ask Secretary Guo for help. Rest assured, I'll definitely find a way to get them back to 'tread the sewing machine' as soon as possible!"

Hearing Han Xinpu's such energetic response, Lu Fan felt satisfied!

Next up is just Le Lao Er; Lu Fan has a large amount of evidence of his bribery and corruption, and believes there will eventually be a way to take him down!

After chatting the whole afternoon, after work they went to a greasy spoon and had a few drinks.

After the National Day holiday ended, Ganshui County's tourism welcomed several major pieces of good news: Siwan Town was named a provincial-level tourism characteristic famous town; Ganshui Grand Canyon was granted a National Geography Photography Base and comprehensively launched the creation of a 5A-level scenic area; and under the publicity of the named high-speed rail train, the "canyon fever" sparked Ganshui's "tourism fever"!

October 10, sunshine bright, autumn breeze bringing coolness; in Ganshui County's Smart Logistics Industrial Park, colorful flags fluttered, crowds gathered, a scene of bustling activity. After more than a year of intense construction, the logistics park covering 1,800 mu was finally completed and officially put into operation.

On this joyous occasion, Ganshui County Party Secretary Lu Fan and the four leading bodies' leaders jointly attended the opening ceremony. Municipal Party Committee member and Executive Vice Mayor Zhang Rongqiu also attended in person, extending warm congratulations to Ganshui County and, accompanied by Lu Fan, toured the logistics park.

The logistics park is located in the southwest of Ganshui County, close to the highway entrance and exit, with convenient transportation. The park plans multiple functional zones such as warehousing, distribution, and e-commerce service areas; it will adopt an intelligent management system and efficient logistics facilities to create a comprehensive industrial park integrating logistics distribution, warehousing services, and e-commerce incubation.

Currently, several well-known courier companies such as Yunda, J&T, YTO, EMS, etc., have entered the park, enabling the "last mile" for agricultural products from Ganshui and even the Qin Bei region to go online; it is projected to achieve an annual parcel volume of 1.6 billion pieces, an annual output value of 7.6 billion yuan, and simultaneously create over 7,500 jobs.

County Party Secretary Lu Fan said that Ganshui will take the logistics park as an opportunity, continuously optimize the business environment, increase investment promotion efforts, attract more quality projects to settle in Ganshui, build a ten-billion-yuan-level logistics park, and drive high-quality economic and social development for the whole county.
