Chapter 2893

However, Wang Guoxiong was not too surprised. After all, Su Xinghui had giants like Gu Shanmin taking care of him in the capital, so helping him ask for some earmarked funds was not a strange thing.

Wang Guoxiong asked again, "Is the foundation-laying ceremony all arranged?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Everything is arranged, and reporters from major media are also waiting at the ceremony site."

Wang Guoxiong nodded with satisfaction again. The things Su Xinghui handled this time really made him very satisfied.

Along the way, Wang Guoxiong chatted happily with Su Xinghui. Unknowingly, the motorcade arrived in Yinshan County. Ma Chang Geng, the secretary of the Yinshan County Party Committee, and Xing Guodong also led all the leaders of the four major teams in the county to have a suburban welcoming ceremony at the intersection of the county town.

Su Xinghui came to Yinshan County, and Ma Chang Geng dared not meet him, but this time a vice governor came. If he dared not to show up again, his courage would really be too fat.

With this, the motorcade to Funiu Township increased by many vehicles, becoming vast and mighty, driving all the way to Funiu Township.

The road to Funiu Township was a mountain road, but this mountain road was relatively flat, much better than the road to Niutouyu. Now the snow on the road had long melted, so the motorcade driving to Funiu Township was relatively stable and safe.

Of course, if one wanted to go to Niutouyu now, one couldn't go for the time being. The snow there would have to wait at least until the end of February to early March to melt completely. At that time, the mountains sealed by the heavy snow would "open."

The car drove on the mountain road, and the mountains along the way were covered with white snow. Wang Guoxiong looked at the scenery along the way and couldn't help but have a sudden interest in poetry. He chanted, "The mountains dance like silver snakes, the plains gallop like wax elephants, wanting to compete with the heavens! The snow scenery here is really beautiful!"

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, the snow scenery here is still very beautiful, so the investor who donated money to build the public welfare school will build a large ski resort here."

Wang Guoxiong said, "Then the development here in the future is still worth looking forward to."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes, I think there is great development potential here. Not only this ski resort, but other scenic spots are also very good."

Wang Guoxiong said, "Comrade Xinghui, I really didn't expect you to be an all-rounder. Not only is the economy well-managed, but other work you are in charge of is also managed in a lively and colorful way!"

Su Xinghui said, "Actually, all kinds of work have their commonalities. As long as you hold a heart of serving the people and pay more attention to it at ordinary times, you can do your work well."

Wang Guoxiong nodded approvingly and said, "Hmm, if our cadres could all be like you, then the work would be easy to do."

The two chatted all the way. Before long, the motorcade arrived in Funiu Township. Luo Quanyou, the secretary of the Funiu Township Party Committee, naturally led the leaders of the whole township to welcome the provincial, municipal, and county-level leaders. Their two jeeps led the way in front, leading the motorcade all the way to an open space not far from the Funiu Township government. This public welfare school would be built on this open space.

The motorcade stopped on the open space. When had the common people of Funiu Township ever seen a motorcade of this scale come here? They were all curiously watching, but they were blocked by the police, at least dozens of meters away from the motorcade. Yinshan County had long transferred most of the police in the county to Funiu Township to maintain order.

On this open space, many reporters were already waiting here. Various long guns and short cannons were aimed at the center of the open space, where a temporary stage had been built. In front of the stage, a large banner was hung, with the words "Foundation-laying Ceremony of Funiu Township Public Welfare School" written on it.

Below the banner, a large pit had been dug. There was sand in the pit, and a rectangular foundation stone was standing in the sand. The name of the project, the name of the construction company undertaking the project, the start date, and other information were engraved on the foundation stone, just waiting for the foundation-laying ceremony to officially start, and then asking the leaders to cultivate soil on the foundation stone.

The construction project of this school was undertaken by the Haimin Construction Company. Since this school was donated by Yu Ruizhi's charity foundation, it did not go through the bidding process. The contract price signed by both parties was also relatively normal, and there was no behavior of suppressing or raising prices. After all, both parties were good friends, so there was no need to do that, and there was also considerable trust between them.

Therefore, Xu Xiaoguang also represented Haimin Construction Company to attend this foundation-laying ceremony today, and the person representing Yu Ruizhi's charity foundation to attend the foundation-laying ceremony was a manager named Shu Cailiang who was in charge of tourism business in Baozhou under Yu Ruizhi.

The reason why Yu Ruizhi did not come to attend this foundation-laying ceremony was that his identity was too shocking, and besides, he didn't need to please any leaders, so he was also impatient to attend this kind of ceremony.

Led by Luo Quanyou and the etiquette ladies, the provincial, municipal, and county leaders all walked to the stage. The leaders who came here today could be described as gathering together. The vice-provincial level leaders included Wang Guoxiong. Besides him, the province also sent Wei Jiashu, the director of the Education Department, Feng Jiaonan, the director of the Culture Department, and Qian Jian'an, the deputy secretary-general of the provincial government, and several others. These people had all eaten with Su Xinghui.

The main leaders of Baozhou City, from Shi Fengnian and Wei Ziming downwards, also came more than ten people, and the leaders of Yinshan County were all dispatched to come here to participate in this ceremony.

For this foundation-laying ceremony, Haimin Construction Company specifically arranged ten etiquette ladies, which was also very fresh. The common people of Funiu Township had never seen it before.

These ten etiquette ladies were all young girls with tall stature and beautiful faces. They wore high heels and had slender figures, looking very eye-catching.

When the leaders walked to the scene, the majestic "Athlete's March" was played on the large speakers at the scene, making the atmosphere at the scene instantly enthusiastic.

Luo Quanyou invited Wang Guoxiong to the stage and asked him to deliver a speech. Although Luo Quanyou's position and status were far from Wang Guoxiong's, he was not too nervous. He still calmly invited Wang Guoxiong to the stage and also helped Wang Guoxiong adjust the microphone so that the height of the microphone was just right for Wang Guoxiong's height.

Luo Quanyou's performance made Wang Guoxiong look at him, nodded slightly, and expressed his gratitude to Luo Quanyou. Then he stood in front of the microphone and began to speak.

Wang Guoxiong was a vice governor, so he had seen all kinds of big scenes. However, even so, he was still a bit nervous because the camera crew of China Central Television was using a camera to film him off the stage.

However, Wang Guoxiong had seen big winds and waves after all, so he was only nervous for a few seconds before calming down. He followed the manuscript prepared for him by Su Xinghui and delivered a speech that was both generous and impassioned, and concise and comprehensive, giving a high evaluation of the public welfare school project.

After Wang Guoxiong's speech ended, Shi Fengnian, Wei Ziming, and Education Director Wei Jiashu delivered short speeches one after another, and Su Xinghui, as the vice mayor in charge, and the investor was also invited by him, so he naturally also delivered a speech.

And Shu Cailiang and Xu Xiaoguang also delivered speeches on behalf of the donor and the contractor, but their speech time was not long and ended in a few minutes.

Subsequently, the etiquette ladies handed the shovels with red silk tied to the wooden handles to the leaders, and also asked them to wear safety helmets and white gloves, and asked them to cultivate soil on the foundation stone. Wang Guoxiong first cultivated a shovel of soil on the foundation stone, and other leaders also followed and cultivated soil on the foundation stone.

Next, others also picked up shovels and cultivated soil together. Soon, the foundation stone was buried. The onlookers applauded happily together, and firecrackers rang out, and fireworks drifted down from the sky.

These onlookers were really very happy. This was not only because they saw so many leaders today, but also because the foundation-laying of this public welfare school was successful.

After this public welfare school is built, it can accommodate more than one thousand primary and middle school students to attend classes at the same time, and it does not charge tuition and miscellaneous fees, not even book fees. The living expenses for boarding are also not charged. What a great welfare this is! How could this not make these common people happy?

Up to this point, today's foundation-laying ceremony ended smoothly. After the end, reporters from all walks of life came forward to interview the leaders. Wang Guoxiong talked eloquently and freely, showing the eloquence and demeanor of a provincial leader. After all, he had been a teacher, so his eloquence was very good.

Wang Guoxiong was also very excited today, so he had pearls of wisdom when accepting interviews and gave high evaluations to the investors who donated money to help education and the leaders of Baozhou City.

After accepting the interview, it was not yet ten o'clock, so everyone, led by Luo Quanyou, inspected several schools in Funiu Township. When inspecting the township primary school, Wang Guoxiong had a cordial conversation with Principal Pan and the young teacher Yang Peng, praising and encouraging their noble behavior of taking root in the village primary school.
