Chapter 396: Peach Blossom Spring

On February 14, Li Zimeng took a plane to Yingjiang, specifically to accompany her husband through this special day.

At 10:00 AM, the Municipal Party Committee Office held a plenary meeting of all cadres. The atmosphere was solemn and enthusiastic.

Municipal Party Committee Deputy Secretary Guo Zhitao solemnly announced: The Provincial Party Committee has decided that Comrade Lu Fan will serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, and Director of the Municipal Party Committee Office!

Before the words fell, the venue immediately erupted in thunderous applause. Everyone looked at Lu Fan on the stage eagerly, their eyes filled with expectation!

Guo Zhitao put forward several requirements for doing a good job in the Municipal Party Committee Office: be clear-cut in politics, improve standing to consider the overall situation, be good at doing things and focus on practical work, base on the post and talk about dedication, and keep discipline in mind.

Lu Fan, sitting on the stage, had a confident and firm smile on his face. He stood up slightly, nodded to his colleagues off the stage to express his gratitude, and then said, "I fully support the decision of the Provincial and Municipal Party Committees, resolutely obey the organization's arrangements, and go all out to push the work of the Municipal Party Committee Office to a new level.

A heavy burden is on the shoulders, and true gold is refined in the office! The Municipal Party Committee Office is the nerve center of the whole city, a bridge and link connecting top and bottom, left and right, and coordinating all parties. It is a key link in executing the decisions and deployments of the Municipal Party Committee and serving and guaranteeing the overall situation of the city's work. From now on, I will work with everyone, uphold the rigorous attitude of 'no detail is too small,' pursue the work realm of 'perfection,' ensure smooth government orders, powerful execution, and orderly connection with efficient operation, and show the city our Municipal Party Committee Office's good style and image of being able to fight hard battles, carry heavy burdens, and shoulder heavy responsibilities!

Without rules, there is no square; I hope comrades will continue to maintain a good sense of rules, understand the big picture, understand the proportions, and understand the scale; always keep charging, transform the nutrients of learning into their own growth elements, and ensure that documents passing through my hands have no errors and things handed to me are handled with peace of mind; always maintain the spirit of a 'screw,' be loyal to their duties, work conscientiously, speak and act, and do it as soon as they say it!

Comrades, only by daring to take responsibility and being good at taking responsibility, and by daring to advance in the face of difficulties and meet difficulties head-on, can we stand firm and keep up in our posts. The Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee Office will definitely care about and help everyone's growth and provide a broad stage and good environment for everyone's development. I hope everyone can constantly improve themselves, surpass themselves, realize their life value, and write a youthful chapter in this big family!"

The venue once again erupted in lasting applause. Everyone looked at Lu Fan with burning and worshipful eyes, rejoicing at his appointment, and at the same time full of infinite longing and hope for the future!

Lu Fan quietly felt all this. He knew that applause was not only recognition but also responsibility and challenge. As the "head of the family," he had to be responsible for everyone's future.

Returning to his office, Municipal Health Commission Director Yin Shaopeng came to report on the city's epidemic prevention work.

To implement the "external prevention of input, internal prevention of rebound, and joint prevention of people and objects" strategy proposed by Governor Hongtao, the city established an epidemic prevention and control office, and the work was implemented by the Health Commission. Lu Fan and Vice Mayor Li Xiaoya were deputy group leaders.

Lu Fan had great coordination strength and was a local leader, so Yin Shaopeng came to report work almost every day, talking about things when there were things, and reporting peace when there were none. Instead, he didn't take the Vice Mayor very seriously; old-qualified bureau directors are relatively "willful."

After entering the door, Yin Shaopeng said with a full face of smiles, "Congratulations, Secretary-General, congratulations, Secretary-General. It is the wish of the people!"

Lu Fan said with a smile, "Shaopeng, there haven't been any accidents in the past two days, right!"

Yin Shaopeng reported, "Governor Hongtao has arranged the periphery to be airtight. We are sandwiched between Yinzhou and Tongzhou cities and are extremely safe. The 125 people returning to Yingjiang from Chu Province who were screened out some time ago have all passed the observation period, and there is not a single confirmed patient. I am here to ask for instructions: should we continue to isolate them? Or let them go home?"

After thinking about it, Lu Fan said, "If we let them go back, it will definitely cause panic among surrounding residents. And the province has not yet had a clear policy. Just in case, let's continue to isolate them! But we must take good care of their food and daily life, and most importantly, the wireless network. Now people can stay quietly and steadily if they have internet and mobile phones."

"Secretary-General, do counties and districts need to arrange their own isolation places? Also, the Provincial Health Commission requires the city and counties and districts to build makeshift hospitals."

Lu Fan shook his head and said, "Work must be determined according to the actual situation. Currently, our Yingjiang City is relatively safe, so there is no need to waste money and labor on those fancy things. As for the makeshift hospitals, I will coordinate with the Education and Sports Bureau to let them vacate the gymnasium and hand it over to you. Is there a better makeshift hospital than that? As for isolation places, let the city unify the reception so as not to increase the burden on counties and districts. I still have the original opinion: counties and districts are responsible for prevention, and the city is responsible for control. Isolation and treatment are unified and coordinated by the Municipal Health Commission. You don't have to worry about the funding issue; I will coordinate with the Mayor. However, if you dare to mess around, Secretary Xiaohua will find you for a 'heart-to-heart talk'!"

Yin Shaopeng hurriedly said, "Secretary-General, don't you know me? I'm not that kind of person! Besides, why would I keep so much money? I only have one daughter, and she entered a research institute, so I don't have to worry at all."

Lu Fan had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Shaopeng, how old is your daughter? I remember she doesn't seem to be married, right? Does she have a boyfriend?"

"What do you mean by this?"

Lu Fan said with a smile, "It is said that a man has to be a matchmaker once in his life. I haven't finished this task yet. Tell me first, does your daughter have a partner?"

"She shouldn't. She works in Chang'an and doesn't plan to live apart."

Lu Fan asked, "What do you think of our Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission Deputy Secretary Du Wenlong?"

"Secretary Du? He's not married yet?"

"If he were married, I wouldn't have to worry so much! Wenlong is the same as me, born in '89. There is no problem with his character; you can inquire about this at will. It's just that he doesn't know how to coax girls to be happy, but there is absolutely no problem with living a life, and it's impossible to have messy things like extramarital affairs. Old Yin, why not consider it?"

"Secretary Du doesn't need to be inquired about; everyone knows. What I didn't expect is that he is still single. However, the current children can't be controlled. Whether there is fate depends on the situation of their contact. Why not find an opportunity to let them meet first? And then give my daughter a nudge?"

Lu Fan laughed, "That would be the best! Old Yin, Wenlong is my brother. I will be the matchmaker for this marriage to the end, and I will definitely not let your daughter suffer the slightest grievance!"

"Five years difference, not a big problem, then let's try! Can Secretary Du be transferred to the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission? Living apart will still be a problem in the future."

Lu Fan took it all on himself, "Don't worry about this. As long as they have fate, isn't transferring to the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission a small matter?"

"That's good!"

"Old Yin, I forgot to ask you just now, are the city's epidemic prevention supplies sufficient?"

Yin Shaopeng said with a smile, "The epidemic prevention supplies in the whole country belong to our Qinchuan Province. Governor Hongtao is really a god-man. The trillion-dollar medical industrial park in Chang'an is really awesome. There are all kinds of supplies, and they are making a fortune! The Provincial Health Commission is arrogant. When holding a meeting, they made bold words, saying that whatever they want, they have, and how much they want, they have!"

Lu Fan sighed, "Governor Hongtao is prepared for danger in times of peace, takes precautions, and prevents trouble before it happens. Our Qinchuan Province is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and now it is a Peach Blossom Spring. Only when the sea is turbulent can the true character of a hero be shown; only when thousands of sails compete can the style of the strong be shown. It is the blessing of our Qinchuan people to have such a Governor!"

Yin Shaopeng echoed, "Yes, our Qinchuan grasped early and moved fast, and the deployment was appropriate. Now it is calm and the people live and work in peace. At that time, there were quite a few people scolding the Governor, but now it seems that it is called foresight. Cadres and masses are all grateful. Governor Hongtao is truly a god-man!"

"Old Yin, you must report these things you reported to me to Mayor Xiaoya word for word, without missing a single word. Don't put on your old-qualified air; you must respect the competent leader!"

"Fine, fine, I'll go now!"

Before getting off work, Lu Fan went to Secretary Li Ruifang's office to ask for instructions on tomorrow's work plan and itinerary.

Li Ruifang said with a smile, "Lu Fan, congratulations on becoming the youngest department-level leading cadre in the province! Our Municipal Party Committee Office is full of laughter today. It is well-deserved! You must make persistent efforts and create new brilliance!"

Lu Fan said modestly, "Thanks to the Secretary's careful cultivation and strong promotion, I will definitely work twice as hard and serve all the Secretary's work wholeheartedly!"

After the polite words, Li Ruifang said, "Facing the fierce epidemic, the whole city acted upon orders, achieving zero infection of medical personnel and zero death of confirmed cases. All 8 patients were cured. You can be called hard-working and meritorious!

Next, the Municipal Party Committee Office will take the lead, and the Municipal Government and relevant units will cooperate to formulate measures to promote stable economic development and comprehensively promote the resumption of work and production, business and market, school and class."

"Understood, Secretary. I will arrange it immediately."

"This time I went to the province for a meeting, I basically talked it over with Governor Hongtao, striving for 1.8 billion yuan in anti-epidemic special national bonds and 4.5 billion yuan in local government special bonds. You keep an eye on these two funds with the Finance Bureau, Development and Reform Commission, and Health Commission; absolutely no mistakes can be made!"

"Understood, Secretary. I will watch it personally!"

"Also, the compilation of the 14th Five-Year Plan has begun. You organize departments such as the Development and Reform Commission to ask for strategies and gather wisdom, sort out the city's major projects, and you have to check the first draft.

Also, the province requires the development of a 100-day action of 'three screenings and three clearings' for poverty alleviation, ensuring that every village, every household, and the whole is solid. The Municipal Party Committee will convene a special meeting to implement it. You arrange it; I also have to go into villages and households.

By the way, this year's National Consumption Poverty Alleviation Forum will be held in Yingjiang. This is something I fought for with great effort. You plan this forum in advance and get the plan out first."

"Understood, Secretary. I have noted them all down. I will implement them one by one and report the progress of the work to you at any time."

"Good, the situation this year is special, and we are facing heavy work tasks and huge pressure. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Secretary, I have no other skills, but I have abundant energy. I will definitely go all out to complete every task you assign with high quality and high standards!" ===== CHAPTER 397 =====
