Chapter 491: Natural Progression

The celebration ceremony was held as scheduled, the scene was enthusiastic, and the occasion was unprecedented.

As usual, the leaders took turns to speak, the speakers were full of spirit, the listeners sat upright, and the crowd under the stage was silent. I scanned the venue, and a sense of pride rose spontaneously.

Yue Bai organized it well! I praised in my heart.

The crowd under the stage was divided into sections by village, one village one square team. A place was left in the middle to arrange for guests and leaders of other townships. Sure enough, I saw Mao Ping, he also looked at me, smiled slightly, and moved his eyes to the side.

Mao Ping and I had quite a few intersections in the past. This person mixed in Mao Shi Town for a lifetime, and when he reached the position of Township Head, he basically reached the end. The impression he left on me was that he slipped away alone on a snowy night, leaving me and Li Fulian in the ice and snow for a whole night. Therefore, my evaluation of this person is: can share blessings, cannot share hardships.

Mao Ping and Deng Hanyu had a very good relationship, and the two could almost be described as taking off their pants. I knew from Mao Ping helping Deng Hanyu run for Deputy County Magistrate that this person did not belong to my camp.

Generally smart people do not choose sides at this juncture. Because no one can predict the outcome. If the team is wrong, it is too late to regret. Mao Ping can stand in line, and it is unwavering. Because of this, I listed him as a person in the third camp from the time I took office as Deputy County Magistrate.

One of Liu Misi's projects is the reservoir development of Mao Shi Town, which is to say, he took a fancy to the unique giant salamander in Mao Ping's town. Liu Misi once regarded this project as an important investment direction, but I didn't want to be controlled by Mao Ping, so when Liu Misi was chattering about Mao Shi Reservoir, I was either absent-minded or looking left and right.

Liu Misi, that dog, is a China hand, naturally he can see my abacus. Finally, his opinion to me is that his tourism company headquarters is placed in Suxi Town, and Mao Shi Reservoir is a direction of the overall project, accounting for one-third of the total investment.

I have never told Mao Ping about this news, I cannot let him be complacent. And I want Mao Ping to know that digging money from my hands is a thousand times harder than digging money from Liu Misi's hands.

Mao Ping mixed in the grassroots for a lifetime, his nose is more sensitive than a dog. Although I didn't give him a bottom line to develop Mao Shi Reservoir, he could smell a trace of wind.

Mao Ping, who had a bottom line in his heart, sat firmly on his fishing boat and never came to talk to me about the project again.

Suxi Town relocation, the heroic invitation was sent to every township in the county, inviting the first and second leaders to come in person. This idea was made by Yue Bai. In her view, Suxi can have today, and it is inseparable from the help of brother townships. Without them paying money and effort at the beginning, Suxi would not be able to toss out today's state even if it had three heads and six arms.

Don't forget the well-diggers when drinking water! Yue Bai mentioned this sentence repeatedly.

Yue Bai's proposal was unanimously passed at the Party Committee meeting, and I couldn't oppose it.

After the leaders finished speaking, several primary school students came up from the side of the stage. They held basins in their hands, and in the basins was a bright red silk-tied big flower, and connected to the big flower was a long red silk ribbon.

A pair of bright scissors was placed in the basin, emitting a dazzling cold light under the sun.

The climax has arrived! I thought in my heart, walked straight to the microphone, cleared my throat, and roared: "Ribbon-cutting!"

Vice Provincial Governor Lin, Secretary He Zhi, County Party Committee Secretary Liu Qimeng, and County Magistrate Yu of Chunshan County lined up. Holding bright scissors, with smiles on their faces, they gestured to the audience.

The hand rose and the knife fell, and the silk flower was cut. A thunderbolt outside the field, and the fireworks rose into the sky.

The crowd was agitated, and everyone looked up at the sky. But seeing the fireworks exploding in the clear sky, although I couldn't see all kinds of colors, I could hear the explosion like spring thunder and smell the fragrance of gunpowder.

The whole audience applauded, and everyone stood up. The applause lasted for a long time.

I was deeply moved, and a layer of water mist rose in my eyes.

This land, I have deep feelings. Eight years of youth thrown away, in exchange for today's ten thousand people cheering.

After the ribbon-cutting is the literary performance, the stage will perform the folk literature and art of Suxi for thousands of years.

The leaders all came down from the stage and sat in the front row of the stage, waiting for the literary program to begin.

All this was arranged by Yue Bai and Xu Mengda, I never intervened, nor did I ask.

A burst of enthusiastic music sounded, and a beauty came out slowly from the side of the stage, with a long skirt dragging on the ground, and a spring in her face. The high-coiled bun is like the distant green mountains.

She opened her red lips slightly, and a voice like an oriole flowed out.

Lin Xiaoxi! I called out secretly in my heart. She is the host of the literary program? Why didn't anyone tell me?

My eyes went to find Yue Bai, and I didn't find her after a circle. Just as I was about to get up to find her, someone came over, whispered in my ear, and told me that Provincial Governor Lin was looking for me.

I looked up at Provincial Governor Lin, he was smiling at me, beckoning me, signaling me to go over.

Before getting up, I heard Lin Xiaoxi on the stage say: "Dear leaders, dear fellow villagers, today Suxi relocation is a happy event for Suxi for thousands of years. While we feel the joy of today, we shouldn't forget a person, right?"

The people under the stage were stunned, and I was also stunned, not knowing what she was going to say.

Lin Xiaoxi smiled charmingly and said: "This person, led Suxi through all kinds of hardships, changed the appearance of a poor and backward small township, changed life, and let Suxi embark on a broad road of prosperity from now on. This person, shouldn't we pay tribute to him?"

The people under the stage applauded with a bang, and someone shouted loudly: "County Magistrate Chen, County Magistrate Chen."

One person shouted, others followed, and instantly there was a momentum of mountain collapse and ground cracking.

Everyone cast their eyes on me, sweat broke out on my forehead, and fine sweat beads oozed from my back.

Lin Xiaoxi's sudden move made me panic.

At the celebration ceremony, I tried my best to avoid everything, and didn't even say a word. Because there were so many leaders sitting here today, I couldn't be in the limelight.

Lin Xiaoxi is deliberately roasting me on the fire!

"Now, we invite Deputy County Magistrate Chen Feng to come to the stage and say a few words, okay?" Lin Xiaoxi pushed the wave and helped the momentum, her eyes fixed on me.

I was in a dilemma, wishing I could find a crack in the ground, and I would drill into it.

"Go." Provincial Governor Lin said with a smile.

"It should be said a few words." Deputy Secretary He Zhi expressed his position.

"It should be said a few words." Liu Qimeng's face was peaceful.

I waved my hands and said: "I have nothing to say. All this is the result of the care of the leaders."

"Little Chen, excessive humility is pride." Vice Provincial Governor Lin still smiled.

I hardened my heart and walked towards the stage.

Just walked onto the stage, there was another burst of applause like a whistle.

Lin Xiaoxi came over with a clever smile, stuffed the microphone into my hand, and whispered: "If the scene of our marriage is also like today, it would be too good."

My hand shook, and I almost dropped the microphone.

Lin Xiaoxi whispered again: "I have regarded today as the stage of our life."

My brain was in a mess, every word of Lin Xiaoxi was like an awl piercing my heart.

What can I use to love you, Lin Xiaoxi!

Everyone under the stage was looking up at me.

I was excited for a while, and blurted out: "Thank you all for your hard work!"

"We are not hard!" As soon as my voice fell, someone shouted.

I looked closely, it was Zhao Dequan, who was wearing a suit and wiping the sweat on his forehead. His appearance looked a bit embarrassed, a suit, worn by him in a non-human way. He rolled up one trouser leg high, revealing his dark legs.

I was amused by his appearance, laughed and said: "We have today, we must thank the Party, thank the government. Finally, I also want to thank you."

I waved my hand at the crowd: "Only you are the real masters who created today."

While I was talking, I stole a look at the reaction of the leaders under the stage, and found that Vice Provincial Governor Lin had been smiling, and a smile appeared on the rigid face of Deputy Secretary He Zhi.

Looking at Liu Qimeng again, I found that his mouth was tightly pursed and his eyelids were drooping.

After I said a few words, I stopped the car, handed the topic to Lin Xiaoxi, and ran down in a slip.

Just after calming down, the music sounded, and then the singing drifted over.

On the stage, Xue Bing also had a long skirt dragging on the ground, and was singing a song "Good Days".

I have no intention of listening to the song, although this bright person on the stage was once my lover.

Xue Bing was singing on the stage, and I was sitting on pins and needles under the stage. Just as I was about to find a way to hide, the mobile phone rang, took it out and looked, it was Huang Weiwei calling, telling me that their car would arrive in Suxi soon. ===== CHAPTER 492 =====
