The meeting heard reports on the economic operation from January to October and the completion of major economic indicators, and relevant units made statements of position.

Lu Fan pointed out that with unremitting efforts from all levels of the county, Ganshui's economy accelerated forward and continued to improve. In the first three quarters, project investment ran steadily, the industrial economy exerted effort both internally and externally, growth was better than the nation's, faster than the province's, and leading the city. In the remaining 100 days, the whole county must muster vigor, continue to tackle tough challenges, go all out to sprint for Q4, and must secure a full-year victory.

Lu Fan emphasized that we must spare no effort to seize time and speed up progress, ensuring agriculture makes more contributions. We must tightly hold onto the industrial park, adopt effective measures that take effect immediately, and firmly achieve the annual target of over 50% growth in industrial value-added. We must spare no effort to build, speed up, tap incremental volume, optimize existing volume, expand total volume, and firmly achieve the annual target of over 300% growth in total social fixed asset investment. We must precisely target indicators and intensify efforts, firmly avoid missing or misreporting statistics, firmly eliminate statistical fraud, firmly clear up unclear bases, and truly reflect economic development outcomes.

At the meeting, Lu Fan broke down each indicator, assigned them to the relevant units, and issued strict orders!

Taking advantage of Li Ruifang's unsteady footing, Municipal Party Secretary Li Mingzhou launched a personnel reshuffle; he is about to leave Yingjiang and needs to place some people in position.

Lu Fan appears. Also Li Secretary appears, referring to Li Mingzhou.

Ganshui County Subdistrict Municipal Government Office appears; as a generic office it does not need a separate entry. Ganshui County is already listed.

Li Ruifang highly affirmed the achievements of Ganshui County's economic development, pointing out that the industrial economy is an important support for county-level economic development, the embryo of Ganshui as a strong industrial county has already formed; we should leverage advantages, seize opportunities, take initiative, actively coordinate with oil and gas companies to expand capacity and increase output, continuously improve the industrial chain, and firmly stabilize the industrial economic base. We should continue to support and grow agricultural and sideline product processing enterprises, optimize and improve the business environment, actively coordinate to resolve difficulties in enterprise construction, production, and operation, precisely implement various pro-enterprise policy measures, and support and help enterprises grow bigger and stronger.

Lu Fan said that Ganshui County will, under the strong leadership of the Municipal Party Committee and City Government, firmly implement the new development concepts, accelerate the promotion of county-level economic development and bolster all-domain tourism functions, jointly advance the enhancement and expansion of oil and gas resources and their transformation and utilization, and strive to write a new chapter of high-quality development of county-level economy.

Also the Silicon Carbide Project appears.

Now Lu Fan understood: the purpose of Mayor Li's choosing Ganshui as the first stop of his inspection is that his political acumen is quite strong!

Yingjiang's youngest County Party Secretary appears; this title should be added to the glossary as County Party Secretary.

Also Li Mingzhou's first aide appears (no need to list).

After dinner, Li Ruifang specially went to Lu Fan's office, chatting for over half an hour, showing herself to be very easygoing.

Also the rank Division-level appears (generic rank, no separate entry needed).

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan's brain couldn't quite wrap around it; Mayor Li truly takes both hot and cold in stride, this must be just polite talk, formalities.

Lu Fan laughed and said: "Mayor summons, how dare I delay? Now Ganshui's development has reached the most critical moment; the whole county has mustered vigor, striving to lift the year-end work to a new level, fighting for greater honors, and making due contributions to the city's economic and social development."

Upon hearing Lu Fan's polite refusal, Li Ruifang smiled slightly and said: "Rest assured, I won't let you leave Ganshui at this critical time. Add some effort, let's secure a place for Yingjiang among the province's top ten counties. If you encounter any problems or difficulties at work, you can come to the City Government to find me!"

Lu Fan hurriedly said: "Thank you, Mayor, for your strong support. Ganshui will surely maintain an indefatigable spirit and a forward-striving posture, pioneer and strive for excellence to promote development, strive to achieve a new leap, and deliver a satisfactory answer sheet to the Municipal Party Committee and City Government."

After seeing off Mayor Li Ruifang, Lu Fan called Municipal Party Secretary Li Mingzhou and gave a detailed report of today's inspection.

Secretary Li cleared up Lu Fan's doubts, saying: "Mayor Ruifang's entry point is spot-on; her ambitions are grand! If the foundation is not solid, the earth will shake and mountains tremble; if she wants to make a mark in Yingjiang, she needs a large number of people to support his work. Although I am about to leave, on the administrative path, if one lightly changes allegiance, it will be shameful; therefore your support is especially important to her."

Lu Fan asked: "Municipal Party Secretary, what should I do?"

Li Mingzhou said: "Not too cold, not too hot, not too far, not too near, but reporting work cannot be neglected. If she can take over as Municipal Party Secretary, then you should fully cooperate with her work; otherwise you must rely on the new Municipal Party Secretary, and you also need to maintain some independence, not be a mere echo; we still have this confidence."

Thank you for the guidance, Municipal Party Secretary; I now know what to do!

Well, your top priority is development; with solid honors in hand, you can advance and retreat with composure and respond with ease! In the end, it's all about scores and achievements, so you should strive to obtain honors of higher value at every level.

Only when the direction is found and the thinking clarified can we unite as one, work with one strength, and march forward resoundingly!

Career urges progress, responsibility is inescapable, the bugle for a new journey has sounded; Lu Fan began intensive research, delving into 49 key projects and the county's above-scale enterprises, personally liaising with companies, grasping investment and output, with the determination to cling to the green mountains and not relent until the goal is met, drawing a blueprint to the end.

By late December, the January–November economic operation report was released; Ganshui County's GDP and growth rate ranked second in the city, only behind Zhenbei District. However, the selection of the province's top ten districts by Zhenbei District does not conflict with Ganshui.

Chang'an appears again; also Qinchuan Province appears again.

Moreover, Lu Fan implemented numerous people's livelihood projects in Ganshui, including free education, medical reform, free public transport, free school uniforms, and a series of other welfare measures, greatly raising the happiness index of Ganshui's residents; now when the people of Ganshui mention Secretary Lu, they all give a thumbs up and praise him as a good leader!
