Chapter 391: Wind and clouds

The Chunshan County business inspection group was adjusted several times, and the final list was released.

This list had a strong lineup, almost covering all bureau agencies. The rank of the head of the group was raised from the original director of the County Party Committee Office to the county magistrate.

Secretary Liu Qimeng had a ruddy face and seemed to be in a very happy mood.

I looked at the list in my hand, the names were arranged all the way down, old, middle-aged, young, men and women of all colors, the rank was from high to low, and the bottom was Zhu Huayu.

This inspection abroad was the first in the history of Chunshan County. Chunshan County, an old revolutionary base area, had always been a large agricultural county. Among the eight counties and five districts of Hengyue City, Chunshan County was not the most populous, but it was the county with the widest land.

In Chunshan, there were primitive secondary forests that were scarce in the whole province, living fossils giant salamanders, and among the 56 ethnic groups in the country, Chunshan occupied four or five. Han people were the mainstream, and others such as Miao, Yao, Dong, Zhuang, etc., accounted for one-third of the county's population.

Chunshan had no industrial foundation that could be brought to the table, and the industrial foundation was as thin as a woman's face, unable to withstand any wind and rain. The nitrogen fertilizer plant, agricultural machinery plant, and textile plant built in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, at the beginning of the reform and opening up, were swaying and falling, and finally collapsed in the wind and rain.

Seeing that other counties were surging, the leading group of Chunshan County, mainly Liu Qimeng, couldn't help but be anxious. Others were eating fragrant and drinking spicy, Chunshan County was still eating coarse tea and light rice, and rumors and rumors were everywhere on the street. Changing the face of Chunshan and promoting economic development was the top priority of Chunshan County.

There was no industrial foundation, and agricultural conditions were not too good. The best way to break out of the siege was to engage in tourism development.

On this point, I coincided with Liu Qimeng.

It is said that life is made up of various coincidences, and sure enough, Liu Misi's arrival seemed to bring a glimmer of light to Chunshan County.

In Hengyue City, the cadres of Chunshan County were the most earthy, so earthy that they even fell off the slag.

Therefore, when we sent the inspection report abroad to the Municipal Party Committee for approval, the heads of the Municipal Party Committee Office kept laughing at us, as if we had mud on our bodies, grass on our heads, typical Chinese farmers, and could still take money out of foreigners' pockets?

"Little County Magistrate Chen, this task is no small matter, only success is allowed, failure is not allowed," Liu Qimeng said earnestly.

"Man proposes, God disposes," I laughed. In front of Liu Qimeng, I have always been in a hip-hop manner, making him always feel that I am immature and need his guidance at all times.

"This mentality is not good! Since you are going, you must have results," Liu Qimeng warned me: "How many eyes are staring at this matter, don't take it lightly."

I still laughed, raising the list in my hand and saying: "Secretary, we are going so many people at once, won't we scare the Americans?"

Liu Qimeng was amused by me and laughed, scolding: "It's not going to occupy their territory, what are you afraid of? We have many people, which shows that we attach importance to this project."

"However, among these, there are no more than five people who can really do things. Others are just following to join in the fun," I pointed to the list, preparing to list the names one by one.

"Forget it," Liu Qimeng waved his hand at me: "The matter is settled, don't add any more opinions. In fact, once the inspection group leaves, you can just use this time to handle the re-employment of cadres."

I heard this and my heart moved, and I looked at the list again, and I understood in my heart.

The county magistrate leads the team to inspect, and I am the number one person in the county government at home. As the Executive Deputy County Magistrate, I can fully issue orders and announce notices.

Secretary Liu Qimeng is an old hand in officialdom after all. He used the opportunity of this inspection to clear obstacles for me without changing his face. I was almost grateful to tears!

"I understand, Secretary Liu," I said earnestly, with a solemn expression.

"Go!" he waved his hand at me, lowered his head to approve the documents, and ignored me.

I retreated from his office, and the first thought was to find Lin Xiaoxi, I want to make a program about the bloated institutions of Chunshan County.

After Lin Xiaoxi finished listening to my idea, her head shook like a rattle, ding-dong.

"Why?" I asked, feeling very unhappy about her refusal.

"This content is too big, I definitely can't do it, I need the station manager's consent," Lin Xiaoxi said seriously: "I am just a small reporter, this program of yours is a big tree, can I shake it?"

"Who is your station manager?" I asked. I really don't know the station manager of the county radio and television station. I heard that he is an old cultural man who has published several books.

"Even if it is our station manager, I am afraid he dare not do it," Lin Xiaoxi said hesitantly: "This kind of subject matter usually requires instructions from the Propaganda Department of the County Party Committee."

I became more and more unhappy, as a dignified Executive Deputy County Magistrate, can't I make a special topic on TV?

Lin Xiaoxi was frightened by my temper, opened a pair of hazy eyes and said: "Of course, we can do it first, and then broadcast it after there are instructions."

This idea is not bad! I praised Lin Xiaoxi's flexibility in my heart.

"Xiaoxi, you tell your station manager, I am looking for him, come to my office at three in the afternoon," I arranged for her to notify people. I won't call their station manager directly, I can't give him this face.

Once Lin Xiaoxi left, I called Xie Tian and asked him to come to my office immediately.

Xie Tian ran over in small steps, and was still panting when he entered the door.

"County Magistrate, are you looking for me?" he was cautious, almost not daring to look at my eyes.

"Sit," I got up and walked to the sofa, pulled Xie Tian to sit down, and handed him a cigarette.

Xie Tian took it with both hands, held it between his fingers and didn't light it. I lit it myself and threw the lighter to him.

Xie Tian was so nervous that he stood up, holding the lighter and smiling awkwardly: "County Magistrate, I don't smoke."

I laughed dumbly, I forgot that you Xie Tian don't smoke. But you old boy, why did you take my cigarette!

"Talk about the re-employment, what ideas do you have," I said, not looking at him.

Xie Tian received my call, how could he not understand the purpose of my looking for him? This matter was provoked by him, but after his own glass was smashed and pigeons were stolen, he used the excuse of physical discomfort to hide in the hospital. 【391-4

"County Magistrate, I have no thoughts on this," Xie Tian said with a bitter smile.

"Truly none?"

"None."

"Old Xie, as a cadre of the Party, you must advance despite the difficulties!" I said, projecting authority without anger, to apply some psychological pressure on Xie Tian.

"County Magistrate, what do you want me to do?" Xie Tian spread his hands and said, "I haven't even started, and look at what's become of my home. If this continues, I'm afraid this old life of mine will be forfeit one of these days."

"Is there no law left?" I deliberately darkened my face. "Whose world is this? Who dares to act so recklessly?"

Xie Tian smiled bitterly and said nothing.

I knew that without giving Xie Tian some reassurance, he would never dare to reach out for this hot potato that had just been raked out of the burning coals.

"What do you want me to do?" Xie Tian looked pitiful. I held back a laugh and poured him a glass of water.

"Dismiss all the rehired personnel in the entire county," I said nonchalantly. I took a sip of water and emphasized my tone: "Issue the notice in the name of the County Government. The deadline for the dismissals must not exceed five days."

"Issuing a notice from the county is good." Xie Tian held the cup with both hands and agreed repeatedly.

"Regarding the damage to your windows and the theft of your pigeons, the county will establish a special investigation team. We must crush this crooked trend." I stood up and returned to my desk, my entire being now filled with a murderous aura.

Xie Tian was startled by my aura; he stood up as well, not daring to say a word.

My move to address the rehiring issue was, in fact, an open challenge to Guan Peishan. The rehiring was all caused by him, and now that he had wiped his hands and left, he had left behind such a massive workforce. Not only was the budget unable to sustain it, but whenever I wanted to bring in some talent, I couldn't implement it because there were no positions available.

"Tomorrow, I will have the television station interview you to pre-warm the news of the county-wide rehiring dismissals and see the reaction," I said, walking over to Xie Tian and gently patting his shoulder.

Under my pat, Xie Tian's legs nearly went soft.

"Be a bit bolder!" I said.

Xie Tian nodded repeatedly.

Just as we were speaking, the door was knocked, and a bald man entered, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looking sanctimonious.

The man saw Xie Tian at a glance, his face immediately piling up with smiles. He reached out both hands to shake Xie Tian's, saying, "Director Xie, you're here too."

Xie Tian accompanied him with an awkward smile and turned to me, saying, "County Magistrate, this is Station Chief Wan from the television station."

Station Chief Wan let go of Xie Tian's hand, scurried a few steps to my front, and reached out to shake my hand.

I deliberately turned away, pretending not to see him.

Station Chief Wan let out a few dry, cackling laughs and said in a low voice, "County Magistrate Chen, please forgive me for being a step late. I only just heard the notice from Lin Xiaoxi, and I didn't dare to delay for even a moment, rushing over as fast as I could."

I smiled and said, "You've worked hard."

Station Chief Wan knew me! If he didn't know me, his career as a station chief would be at an end.

"Does the County Magistrate have any instructions?" Station Chief Wan leaned in to ask me.

"Instructions is too strong a word. Old Wan, your television station is not bad; the programs are done with a certain standard." I praised him first. In fact, everyone knew that apart from the weekly county news, the county television station hadn't produced any television programs at all.

The programs broadcast by the county television station, besides some Hong Kong and Taiwan police-action films, were just ancient television series. The gaps between programs were stuffed with all kinds of advertisements.

"It's still not good enough; it still needs the leadership's guidance." Station Chief Wan was so flattered by my praise that his face turned red.

"How about this: you cooperate with the Personnel Bureau and produce a few episodes. Director Xie will tell you the specific content. No problem, right?" I didn't want to say too much. For someone like Station Chief Wan who liked to affect elegance, one had to be direct and leave no room for maneuver.

"No problem!" Station Chief Wan was not ambiguous and agreed immediately.

"The programs must be done to the satisfaction of the common people." I added. This sentence had deep implications.

"The leadership can rest assured." Station Chief Wan nodded and bowed: "I will have Lin Xiaoxi take charge, and I will take the lead."

"Good!" I waved my hand, letting them leave.

Things had reached this point; the bow was drawn, and there were no turning-back arrows. And if I wanted to realize my grand ambitions, I had to kill a few people to establish my authority before the projects landed!

Once they left the door, I started calling the County Public Security Bureau Director; I needed to mobilize people!
