Chapter 679: Going to the Enterprises for a Look

The next morning, Su Xinghui presided over the first town mayor's office meeting since he took office. Attending the meeting were the other four deputy town mayors, as well as the Director of the Party and Government Office, Li Daqing.

In addition, the heads of several direct subordinate units of the town—the Agricultural Machinery Station, the Agricultural Technology Station, the Water Conservancy Station, and the Economic Management Station—also attended the meeting as non-voting delegates. Su Xinghui felt that the work managed by these units was the most important and urgent work in the town at present, so he wanted to make arrangements at this meeting.

This town mayor's office meeting was mainly to let Su Xinghui meet with the deputy town mayors and the heads of the direct subordinate institutions to get familiar with them, facilitating better work in the future.

The four deputy town mayors of Pengjiawanzhen were Yang Huakai, Tong Yuejin, Zhang Lihui, and Jiang Chunfang. Yang Huakai was the Executive Deputy Town Mayor, Tong Yuejin was in charge of economic work, Zhang Lihui was in charge of political and legal affairs, fire safety, water conservancy, and militia work, and Jiang Chunfang was a female comrade in charge of family planning, women's affairs, the Youth League Committee, and culture and education.

Su Xinghui first asked the deputy town mayors to report on their work. The deputy town mayors all felt a bit strange; sitting in the presiding position was a young man in his early twenties, and they, people in their thirties and forties, had to report their work to this young man.

But there was no help for it; their positions and ranks were there, and they had to report to Su Xinghui.

The progress of various tasks in Pengjiawanzhen this year was unsatisfactory. The economic growth rate in the first quarter was less than 5%, the finances were very tight, the burden on farmers was relatively heavy, and family planning work was also lagging behind in the whole county. As for the public security problem, it was even more serious; just a few days ago, there was an incident of storming the town government.

Su Xinghui had actually already read these materials, but letting the responsible leaders report in person helped him deepen his impression and match the various tasks with the responsible leaders.

After listening to the reports, Su Xinghui didn't say anything, nor did he criticize anyone. He just arranged a few specific tasks.

He first asked the head of the Agricultural Machinery Station, Peng Xiangfa, to get a handle on the use of agricultural machinery in Pengjiawanzhen and submit a report to him as soon as possible.

Next, he asked the head of the Agricultural Technology Station, Yao Pengxing, to get a handle on data such as the planting structure in Pengjiawanzhen and also submit a report to him as soon as possible.

He also asked the head of the Water Conservancy Station, Han Zhixiong, to step up preparations for this year's flood control and disaster relief work. Pengjiawanzhen backed onto the Changjiang River, and flood control and disaster relief work was one of the most important tasks every year; Su Xinghui naturally dared not be negligent.

Su Xinghui also arranged work for the heads of the other stations one by one. Su Xinghui acted decisively and cleanly, basically without a word of unnecessary nonsense, and what he wanted was solid data. This work style was quite different from the style of the town's previous leaders, making these cadres somewhat unable to adapt.

After arranging the work, Su Xinghui announced the end of the meeting, without any dragging.

After he returned to his office and had just sat down, his door was knocked on. He said "Please come in," and the door was pushed open. Someone came in. Su Xinghui looked and saw it was an acquaintance: the Town Police Station Chief, Yang Xinhua.

As soon as Yang Xinhua came in, he closed the door, then nodded and bowed with a smile: "Town Mayor Su, I didn't expect you to come to our town to be the Town Mayor. We really are fated!"

Su Xinghui said calmly: "Chief Yang, we are indeed fated. Sit down."

Seeing Su Xinghui being amiable to him, a stone in Yang Xinhua's heart fell to the ground. He sat on a sofa but didn't dare to sit fully, only half his buttocks touching the sofa, his waist kept straight, as if he couldn't show his respect for Su Xinghui otherwise.

How could Yang Xinhua dare not be respectful to Su Xinghui? A young man in his early twenties being able to come to be the Town Mayor of such a large town, although it was an extraordinary period, was still no small matter.

Yang Xinhua had long inquired that Su Xinghui's background was very strong; it was said that he could even speak in front of the Provincial Party Secretary. How could he dare to offend such a person? On the contrary, if Yang Xinhua could hug this thick thigh, he would have a chance to rise to prominence.

Therefore, he had been waiting in the town government all day today. As soon as Su Xinghui finished the meeting, he followed behind Su Xinghui's butt and came in.

Su Xinghui stood up to pour tea for Yang Xinhua. Yang Xinhua immediately jumped up as if there were springs on his butt, exaggerating: "How dare I let the Town Mayor pour tea for me? I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself."

Seeing Yang Xinhua like this, Su Xinghui put down the teacup and let Yang Xinhua pour the tea himself. Yang Xinhua put a pinch of tea leaves into the teacup, then first refilled Su Xinghui's teacup with water, then poured water into his own teacup, and sat down on the sofa cautiously again.

Su Xinghui said: "Chief Yang, you came to see me today, is there anything? Is there any breakthrough in the case of storming the town government a few days ago?"

Yang Xinhua shook his head: "Sigh, Town Mayor, that case is hard to handle. The people have all run to other places; where are we going to catch them? I came today to exchange thoughts with the Town Mayor."

Su Xinghui smiled: "Exchange thoughts, right? Then tell me today, what is your opinion on this case? Or rather, how should this case be handled?"

Yang Xinhua said: "Actually, Town Mayor, this matter can't blame those common people for storming the town government; it's really because they were pushed too hard. Town Mayor Hong, he arrested the family members of those people, and those people didn't commit any crimes. What's the point of always holding them? So their family members stormed the town government out of desperation..."

Yang Xinhua was still spouting nonsense. Su Xinghui couldn't listen anymore. He interrupted Yang Xinhua: "Chief Yang, so, do you think their act of storming the town government was a legitimate act?"

Yang Xinhua said: "I certainly don't think this kind of behavior is a legitimate act; this kind of behavior is definitely wrong, but it is also understandable. And at that time, when those people made demands to Town Mayor Hong, Town Mayor Hong didn't know how to judge the situation and actually refused flatly, which intensified the conflict and angered those people, so they stormed the town government..."

Su Xinghui waved his hand: "Don't say so much. Just tell me, how should this case be handled? To be able to solve it." ===== CHAPTER 681 =====
