NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1149
Liu Zhizhong smiled, "Oh, what's that supposed to mean?"
Hamuer said, "Because once you move in, you'll have to relocate within half a year again."
"Oh?"
"Before retiring, the old County Mayor cooperated closely with Secretary Mo and managed to push through the relocation of the County Committee and County Government office. The report has been sent to the City, and there's no problem getting approval. Once the City approves it, sending it to the Provincial City is pretty straightforward."
Liu Zhizhong was speechless...
Indeed, when it comes to decisions and approvals made by the Party Committee and government of an autonomous prefecture of ethnic minorities, the Provincial City usually gives face due to considering the special circumstances and policies related to minorities.
Liu Zhizhong thought for a while, "Listening to Director Ha, this matter seems set in stone. If I live in the County Committee and County Government office, I'll really have to move again in the future. So, how much is invested in this project, and who is the ultimate beneficiary?"
Hamuer smiled, shook his head, "County Magistrate Liu is new, and doesn't know the situation well yet. It's hard to explain quickly; take your time, you'll understand eventually. As for you, have you decided whether to rent a house, stay in this hotel, or continue living in the County Committee and County Government office?"
"Hehe, never mind, I'll rent a place first for now!"
"Alright, I'll make some calls tonight and tomorrow, so hopefully, you can move into your new home by tomorrow night."
Saying this, Hamuer stood up, looking like he was about to leave.
Liu Zhizhong quickly said, "Director Ha, there's no need to rush. Take it slow. You've also had quite a bit to drink tonight, so you should rest early."
"Hehe, we grew up soaking in wine barrels, it doesn't bother us, doesn't bother us…"
Hamuer left soon after, while Liu Zhizhong washed up and lay down on the bed.
Reflecting on the few hours since arriving in Shanan County, everything he saw and felt, Liu Zhizhong indeed felt a bit overwhelmed.
This county, ranked last in the entire province, has quite a few problems!
If I just idle away my time here and relax, there'd be no problem at all.
But if I want to achieve something and steadily make my way up, then it's a big problem!
How to achieve results?
Where to begin breakthroughs?
Liu Zhizhong felt a bit lost... but still decided to investigate first and then act accordingly!
Before long, Zhang Tianbao called.
Minister Tianbao always had a good capacity for alcohol; though drunk, he still spoke clearly and logically, not at all confused.
"Zhizhong, you've had many impressions, right?"
Liu Zhizhong chuckled and said, "Brother Bao, it's your first time witnessing these situations too, right?"
"Yes! After accompanying the old minister for years at the Provincial City, I've never come to a place like Dongguang State, let alone somewhere like Shanan. Today was truly an eye-opener. The more backward a place is, the more serious the issues, deeply entrenched and hard to reverse!"
Liu Zhizhong was curious, "Haven't you accompanied Uncle Luo to places like these before?"
"No, no! Minister Luo's work has always focused on Han People Districts, generally well-off prefecture-level cities in the province. The responsibility for these minority counties was with Minister Lu. Before Minister Lu, another old minister was in charge."
"Oh... I see! Indeed, Brother Bao, I feel the challenges of my work ahead in Shanan are enormous!"
"As the County Mayor, achieving anything will be tough. Tonight, I completely saw the problems."
