Li Xiulan

Wang Xiaohua led the charge and set an example, bustling about in his work every day; the few grassroots cadres in the Poverty Alleviation Office saw it with their eyes and kept it in their hearts.

From initially having quite a few reservations about Wang Xiaohua, feeling he was too young, a bookworm, unsuited for this job, to later slowly changing their notions, even rising in solemn respect.

Wang Xiaohua is nothing like Chen Yuancheng, who shouted slogans deafeningly loud, but when it came to actual work, hid in his office blowing air conditioning, letting his subordinates run their legs off.

For the implementation of many policies, Wang Xiaohua would first go and pilot them himself, drawing up the plans in extremely thorough detail — which places should do what, which matters were unnecessary to do — all written clearly and plainly, only then having the people below carry them out.

Doing it this way, the grassroots cadres below found the work very relaxed, because they knew clearly how to do things, what could be done, what could not be done, and did not have to shoulder responsibility.

But Wang Xiaohua had it hard.

Not only was it hard, but if something truly went wrong, he would be the one to shoulder the responsibility.

The clearer and more explicit the orders, the more one must shoulder responsibility.

This is also the real reason why many leaders universally do not speak plainly.

The reason is none other than this: for matters they themselves cannot even control, if they clearly instruct subordinates on how to do them, and trouble arises, they must shoulder the responsibility!

But if the orders are vague, letting subordinates guess, then it is different!

If things are done well, that is because the leader directed well!

If things are done badly, that is because the people below did not grasp the leader's meaning and acted on their own initiative to stir up trouble!

Thus, responsibility can be shirked completely clean!

The so-called art of leadership is played with consummate skill and lofty mastery!

But doing it this way, the leader is steady as Mount Tai, while the ordinary people suffer.

Because it is very easy for the absurd phenomenon of collective irresponsibility to appear.

Take for example certain ghost building projects — you will discover you simply cannot find the specific leader responsible for them!

The developer pushes to the bank, the bank pushes to the local government, the local government pushes to the developer!

In the end, those who suffer are the ordinary common people who spent their life savings buying the ghost building!

They are the most innocent, yet must bear all the bitter consequences!

In the position of Town Rural Revitalization Office Director, Wang Xiaohua grew more and more adept, gaining more and more insight.

The situation of Shangang Village's poor households underwent a huge change in just a short month.

Previously, every few days there would be news of some village's big fool causing trouble — either this village's fool being bullied, or that village's fool bullying others; the rural fool was an uncontrollable bomb, and you could not do anything about him, after all a fool does not possess the capacity to bear legal responsibility.

Now Wang Xiaohua got the rural canteen going, gathering the fools together to eat a lunch, letting them expend a large amount of energy on the round trip, thus perfectly solving the problem of the fools' uncontrollable behavior.

Disputes involving fools in Shangang Town dropped sharply at once.

This point, Shangang Town's Police Station Chief Zhou Zhiliang, felt most deeply.

Previously, in a month he would have to handle at least two or three fool-related disputes.

Yet in the recent month, he surprisingly had not encountered a single fool-related dispute!

Did the fools become smart?

Or did the villagers become tolerant, no longer bothering to argue with fools?

Definitely neither!

The real reason is the rural canteen specifically targeting rural fools that Wang Xiaohua launched, which played a huge role!

So on this day, when Zhou Zhiliang and He Gaofeng were chatting idly in the office, he could not help but casually praise Wang Xiaohua:

"Our Town Government's Wang Xiaohua is a talent, truly not ordinary!"

He Gaofeng could not help but stare blankly:

"Chief Zhou, why suddenly bring up Wang Xiaohua?"

Zhou Zhiliang said with a smile:

"This past month, the station hasn't had to handle fool-related disputes, everyone is much more relaxed, so I mentioned Wang Xiaohua — I truly admire him for setting up the rural canteen."

He Gaofeng was puzzled:

"Is there some connection between the two?"

Zhou Zhiliang said:

"The connection is huge. Think about it — for a fool to go to the village committee to eat this lunch, don't they have to get up early in the morning and walk there? They walk all the way, reach the village committee, eat lunch, then have to walk back — this round trip consumes most of the fools' energy; once their energy is used up, the fools won't go do other things, and they transform from uncontrollable to controllable."

Hearing this, He Gaofeng could not help but nod.

Zhou Zhiliang said with another smile:

"Wang Xiaohua has made a huge contribution to our Shangang Town's public security management! You say, should he not be praised a couple of lines?"

He Gaofeng smiled:

"Indeed he should be praised. To tell the truth, I initially wasn't optimistic about Wang Xiaohua either, thought he was just an embroidered pillow — only knows how to read books but not do things — and only because of County Magistrate Xiao's face was he promoted to the Temporary Director of Poverty Alleviation Office position; never expected Wang Xiaohua could actually do things this well!"

Zhou Zhiliang smiled:

"He got into Tsinghua, that proves his brain is much smarter than us ordinary people, and smart people see through people and matters thoroughly, and have strong execution ability, so doing well is only natural."

He Gaofeng smiled:

"Your words make sense."

At this moment Zhou Zhiliang suddenly spoke:

"I have a niece who also tested into our county town's Selected Graduate, but she's rather affected, far worse than Wang Xiaohua!"

He Gaofeng could not help but stare blankly.

He knew Zhou Zhiliang wouldn't bring up his niece for no reason.

But he still politely echoed a few sentences:

"She's a girl, not as tough as a boy; slowly she'll adapt."

Zhou Zhiliang laughed at this moment and said:

"I'm even thinking of having her come to our Town, train alongside Xiao Hua, not for anything else, just to temper her character so she can stand on her own in the future!"

So-called standing on one's own, isn't that just being a Leader?

The meaning of Zhou Zhiliang's words was very obvious — that his niece, her family had already paved the way for her, and in the future she was going to be a Leader.

He Dazhu pretended not to understand his words, didn't ask further, just politely echoed:

"That's true indeed, young people, more training can't hurt..."

Zhou Zhiliang finally spoke at this moment:

"Secretary He, would you do me a favor and transfer my niece to Shangang Town's Poverty Alleviation Office."

He Dazhu immediately said with an embarrassed expression:

"Chief Zhou, it's not that I'm unwilling, but I really don't have that authority; you also know, county personnel transfers, me a mere Town Party Secretary, I have no decision-making authority."

But Zhou Zhiliang laughed and said:

"Rest assured, no need for you to step forward; her family has already made arrangements in the county, Secretary He you just need to open a small door of convenience on the Shangang Town side."

Zhou Zhiliang's words having reached this point, He Dazhu could no longer refuse.

He could only agree:

"Alright then, what's your niece's name?"

Zhou Zhiliang said:

"Liu Yumeng."
