Chapter 225
A moment later, Secretary Zhou's motorcade arrived before everyone, and Qin Chuan took the lead to go over and offer his greetings.
The rest of the people followed behind Secretary Zhou in order, and this time, everyone appeared extremely serious.
After all, Secretary Zhou was not like other leaders; he was the bona fide head of the County Party Committee.
If they performed well today, it didn't necessarily mean they would catch his eye, but if they performed poorly or made any major blunders, they would certainly be remembered.
Therefore, everyone wanted to show their best side.
"Greetings, Secretary Zhou. Welcome to Huatian Town to guide our work."
Seeing the car door open, Qin Chuan walked up quickly to welcome him.
After getting out of the car, Zhou Hongtao shook hands with Qin Chuan and said, "You've put on quite a display here, haven't you? But for your town, this is indeed a joyous occasion worth celebrating."
This word of praise made Qin Chuan instantly excited; a single sentence from the Secretary was the greatest recognition of his work.
"Thank you, Secretary. The fact that we could build this road through the efforts of all parties is mainly due to the support from you and the County Party Committee and County Government. Otherwise, even if the cadres in our town put in more effort, it wouldn't have been possible to get the project approved and launched so quickly."
Flattering a leader at a critical moment is a basic skill for a leader, and in this regard, Qin Chuan was superior to others.
Some people flatter others, but first, they can't grasp the timing; second, they can't grasp the vocabulary; and third, they don't know how to watch the leader's eyes and observe micro-expressions.
Qin Chuan had pondered and rehearsed these things countless times; he could be called a master in this field.
Zhou Hongtao was indeed very pleased with this bit of flattery. Why? Because he said it was thanks to the support of Secretary Zhou and the County Party Committee and County Government.
There is great learning in this; if he had mentioned the County Party Committee and County Government first and then Secretary Zhou, the effect would definitely not have been as good.
By mentioning Secretary Zhou first and then the County Party Committee and County Government, the implication was that the County Party Committee and County Government were all under Secretary Zhou's leadership.
This is a status that transcends the organization; which leader doesn't like their subordinate cadres to acknowledge their authority? Zhou Hongtao is a mortal, and he is equally unable to escape the culture of flattery.
However, he only smiled slightly, and seeing this, Su Yang immediately stepped forward to shake hands and offer greetings, "Welcome, Secretary Zhou, to Huatian Town to guide our work. I believe that with your guidance, the future development of our Huatian Town will move onto the right track at a higher and faster speed."
To this, Zhou Hongtao also gave his affirmation. He said, "Huatian Town was once the economic leader of the county, but later, due to various reasons, it became the tail-ender. I heard that you have already implemented some plans to develop the economy, and some have already started to be executed. This is very good."
"I heard that there is a signing ceremony for investment attraction today. This is not only of great significance to your Huatian Town, but also has an extraordinary influence on our entire Jincheng County."
To beat the drum and hear the sound, to speak and hear the tone. Su Yang could naturally hear the subtext of Secretary Zhou's words.
That is, this Four Seas Biological Pharmaceutical must land no matter what, and he should not express opposing opinions or make other moves.
Su Yang was not surprised by this, because the power behind this pharmaceutical company was enough for the Secretary to stand up for them.
Moreover, investment attraction itself is an excellent thing for local development.
According to his memories from his previous life, Four Seas Biological Pharmaceutical didn't look at this corner of the world at all. The Secretary at the time spent a massive amount of effort to finally get the county to land it in Chengguan Town.
In this life, it was entirely because of him that the trajectory of some things changed, and this Four Seas Biological Pharmaceutical came to Huatian Town because of him.
Secretary Zhou certainly didn't know the reason, and Qin Chuan and the others didn't know either. He knew it very clearly, but he couldn't talk about such things.
So he could only tacitly agree verbally, and later he would still have to stop it according to the method he had brewed.
He immediately said, "Secretary Zhou is right. Four Seas Biological Pharmaceutical was introduced by our Secretary Qin under your strong support and that of the County Party Committee and County Government."
"It is said that the annual tax payment can exceed one million, and it can also provide jobs like cleaning and security. This is really a great thing for us, and I support it in principle."
It was enough to say this much, and he didn't continue.
Secretary Zhou naturally didn't have so much time to listen to him, but continued to shake hands with Ma Zhengyang, Feng Shikuan, and others behind him.
However, he only said these two words simply to the people behind him to express his acknowledgment.
And Su Yang followed behind Qin Chuan, meeting Executive Vice County Mayor Li Jianguo, Publicity Department Head Li Qingsheng, and United Front Work Department Head Gao Tongwei in turn.
Everyone present, as well as the media reporters, saw a very interesting scene: when Li Jianguo, Li Qingsheng, and Gao Tongwei shook hands and talked with Qin Chuan, they spoke for a full two minutes.
Especially with Li Jianguo, it was more than two minutes. But with Su Yang, they just shook hands tightly and didn't say any extra words. The signal released by this was enough for people to ponder and savor.
You must know that at this very moment, the "Today Zero Distance" column team standing next to them was broadcasting live, and there were also reporters from the "Lancheng Daily" preparing for on-site interviews and on-site writing.
After meeting the leaders, the leaders of Four Seas Biological Pharmaceutical and Kang Xiaosheng also arrived at the scene.
At 9:50 in the morning, Bai Jing, wearing a red dress, with exquisite makeup and a charming figure, walked onto the temporarily erected rostrum. She first bowed to the guest seats and then bowed to the audience below, saying,
"Respected Secretary Zhou, County Mayor Li, Minister Li, and Minister Gao, as well as the media friends present and the elders and fellow villagers who have come, good morning everyone!"
"The construction of the road from Huatian Town to the county seat and the signing ceremony between Huatian Town and Four Seas Biological Pharmaceutical officially begin. Now, please invite the leaders to cut the ribbon."
As her voice fell, County Party Secretary Zhou Hongtao, Executive Vice County Mayor Li Jianguo, County Party Committee Publicity Department Head Li Qingsheng, United Front Work Department Head Gao Tongwei, and Town Party Committee Secretary Qin Chuan, Su Yang, and the representative of the contractor Kang Xiaosheng cut the ribbon for the road construction project together.
"Next, we invite the leaders of Four Seas Biological Pharmaceutical and our Huatian Town Party Committee Secretary, Comrade Qin Chuan, to sign the cooperation agreement."
As her voice fell, the representatives of Four Seas Biological Pharmaceutical, who had already arrived at the scene, walked to the prepared signing table with Qin Chuan.
When Su Yang saw the representative of Four Seas Biological Pharmaceutical, his pupils couldn't help but shrink. It seemed different from his memory of his previous life, because the representative who came was Zhao Jidong.
Zhao Jidong also saw Su Yang at this time, or rather, his eyes had always been on Su Yang.
Seeing Su Yang's somewhat puzzled eyes, he actually revealed a bright smile.
The meaning was very clear: you didn't expect it, did you? Your nightmare has arrived.
These signing ceremonies and the like are just going through the motions; the point is media exposure, just letting the leaders present show their faces.
After all the ceremonies and processes were completed, the reporter from "Lancheng Daily" walked to the guest seats, "Secretary Zhou, leaders, I am a reporter from Lancheng Daily. I want to interview our Town Mayor Su on the spot because Town Mayor Su promised in front of the camera before that he would definitely start construction on this road within three days."
"Now, it has officially started. I want to take this opportunity to interview Town Mayor Su and hear what Town Mayor Su is thinking right now. I wonder if it is convenient for Town Mayor Su now?"
