Chapter 41: County Inspection

Bureau Chief An of the County Development and Reform Bureau led Bureau Chief Yi Huisheng of the County Electric Power Bureau to Suxi Township to inspect the installation of agricultural electricity, Secretary Liu Quan found me in a hurry and asked me to arrange the reception.

Bureau Chief An is a good old man who is easy to get along with, wearing an old white shirt, and the leather shoes under his feet look like they have a history, at first glance, there is almost no difference from the neighbor's old man. Bureau Chief Yi Huisheng of the Electric Power Bureau is very different, dressed neatly, with a dark red tie around his neck, hair combed oily and smooth, followed by a large group of people behind them, panting and standing in the big courtyard of the township government. Their car could not move forward more than ten miles away, so they had to abandon the car and walk over, climbing mountains and wading through water all the way, making themselves dusty.

Looking at their embarrassed appearance, I wanted to laugh. You are used to being pampered, now you should know the life of mountain people!

I don't know Bureau Chief Yi Huisheng of the Electric Power Bureau, I walked to Bureau Chief An's side and respectfully asked him to go to the conference room to rest.

Bureau Chief An pointed at me and said to the people around him: "This is Secretary Chen, the young man County Magistrate Liu particularly appreciates."

Others looked at me with curious eyes, making me feel uncomfortable all over.

Bureau Chief Yi Huisheng snorted disdainfully, and Bureau Chief An hurriedly introduced that he was the director of the Electric Power Bureau, the god he had invited with great difficulty. The group sat down in the conference room, Hongyan and the township women's federation director came in to pour tea, each cup was delivered to their hands with both hands. Secretary Liu Quan went out to beg for help and was rushing back. I reported the situation once.

Bureau Chief An laughed and said: "Old Liu is really busy, this place is his feudal kingdom." Before being promoted to bureau chief, Bureau Chief An was the secretary of Chengguan Town, logically speaking, when Secretary Liu was secretary, he was still a deputy township head, later the district was merged and the town was merged, he became deputy township head, a few years ago he became bureau chief, and Secretary Liu was still his township secretary, for more than ten years, his butt didn't move.

After everyone drank water and calmed down a little, I prepared to report.

Bureau Chief An leaned against the table and tapped his legs and said: "Little Chen, you pick the key points to report to Bureau Chief Yi. Whether Suxi Township's electricity is successful or not, the key is Bureau Chief Yi."

I nodded busily, looking at Bureau Chief Yi with a serious smile.

This smile must be grasped well, if it is too heavy, it seems frivolous, if it is too light, it seems disrespectful.

Bureau Chief Yi tapped the table impatiently, and others took out notebooks, pretending to be very serious and ready to record.

I saw the posture was wrong, this Bureau Chief Yi clearly had a stomach full of anger.

I consulted and said: "Bureau Chief An, Bureau Chief Yi, should we rest first, and when Secretary Liu comes back, invite him to talk about the situation in Suxi Township?"

I said this out of respect for Secretary Liu Quan. For subordinates, overstepping is a taboo.

"Old Liu is busy, besides, Old Liu told me, you introduce it." Bureau Chief An denied my opinion.

Liu Hongyan and the others poured tea and exited the conference room, standing at the door, like waiters, looking obedient.

I had to open the report and start explaining the content of the report to these gods of wealth.

After listening to half, Bureau Chief Yi interrupted my words and said: "Secretary Chen, I have a report here, it was sent by Suxi Township ten years ago, and the old bureau chief gave it to me for three or five years. Let me tell you, your Suxi Township has thirteen administrative villages, the farthest is more than twenty miles of mountain road from the township government, the total length of the line in the township is 50,000 meters, plus the line from the nearest Quanhuhu Township substation, it needs 100,000 meters of line, what is your solution to this?"

I have all these data, if I had a good solution, why would I look for you? I was indignant in my heart.

I smiled and said: "Bureau Chief Yi, we are still thinking of ways."

"What way? If there is no money, no way is useful!" Bureau Chief Yi looked at me contemptuously: "If the way was easy to think of, it should have been started ten years ago."

I turned a blind eye to his contempt, I understood Bureau Chief Yi's rhetoric very well. If the project starts, the Electric Power Bureau is the first responsible department, equipment, construction are all their business.

Suxi Township's electricity is a chicken rib! It's laborious and thankless to do it, and it's dereliction of duty not to do it.

Bureau Chief An comforted Bureau Chief Yi and said: "Old Yi, the money matter, the county will find a way. County Magistrate Liu discussed it at the Standing Committee, the secretary agreed very much, indicating that Suxi Township's electricity should be grasped as a key project in the new period."

His words were almost a final word. In this way, the electricity matter has been highly valued by the County Party Committee. Bureau Chief Yi couldn't say anything more, he straightened his tie and said: "The opinion of the County Party Committee, our Electric Power Bureau must obey."

After the report, I stood up and took them to the auditorium.

The four machines were covered with dust, waiting alone for electrical energy to catalyze.

The inspection team didn't make a sound, Bureau Chief An touched the machine and said: "Without electricity, national production really can't be carried out."

Secretary Liu Quan came back sweating profusely, grabbed Bureau Chief An's hand and said: "Old An, thank you."

Bureau Chief An smiled and said: "Old Liu, it's your one-third of an acre of land, you handle it."

Secretary Liu shook hands with Bureau Chief Yi again and said humbly: "Bureau Chief Yi, you've worked hard."

Bureau Chief Yi's face was calm, and he said indifferently: "Secretary Liu, you've worked hard."

Ten people were involved, involving the Development and Reform Bureau, the Electric Power Bureau, the Economic and Trade Bureau, and the County Committee Office. Except for the two bureau chiefs, three section chiefs and a secretary from the County Committee Office came.

Returning to the conference room, I sat to the side and let the three leaders chat and reminisce.

Liu Hongyan gestured to me outside the door to go out, she asked me nervously: "How to arrange lunch?"

I said: "You go to the cafeteria and tell Old Wang to make a few of the best dishes. Call a few people to help."

Liu Hongyan went, the women's federation director was still standing at the door, I said: "Director Jia, you go help too."

Director Jia is an old woman of nearly fifty, her husband is the head of the township people's congress presidium. Their home is in Chunshan County, and they don't usually talk much.

Everything was arranged, and I returned to the conference room. Secretary Liu was talking about the interesting things in Suxi Township.

It is unique that the county sent so many people to Suxi Township to inspect at once. So many leaders came at once, only in the criticism activities of that year, but the leaders at that time were a group of people who were overthrown, not only not glorious, but as embarrassed as a dog in a funeral home.

The whole afternoon was spent reporting the inspection in the conference room, and those who couldn't hold it took turns going to the bathroom. I drank a lot of wine at noon, I felt my head was as heavy as iron, and my eyelids were fighting.

Bureau Chief An insisted on not eating dinner, and Bureau Chief Yi wanted to leave long ago.

I sent them to the place where they parked, accompanied Bureau Chief An and we walked at the back, Bureau Chief An said to me: "Little Chen, the county decided to select the County Youth League Committee Secretary. This is an opportunity."

I smiled and said: "Bureau Chief An, my main job hasn't been done well yet. It's better to exercise at the grassroots level first."

Bureau Chief An looked at me approvingly and said: "County Magistrate Liu didn't see the wrong person."

I helped him and said: "Bureau Chief An, thank you for the leader's concern. I will do my job well."

Watching them go away, I stood at the head of the road, my heart jumping. County Youth League Committee Secretary, directly entering the leadership ranks, is also the best way to promote.

Do I have a chance? ===== CHAPTER 42 =====
