NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1151
Although he can drink, Liu Zhizhong, as a young man, indeed has his own limits.
Since arriving in Shanan County, he has deliberately controlled his drinking, relatively speaking, drinking less.
But as for the culture of eating and drinking in Shanan, if it is to be curbed, Liu Zhizhong feels that a long-term plan is needed.
There must be an effective method, and a thorough investigation and understanding are required before taking bold actions.
After all, County Party Secretary Mo Dayou is here, having the power to cover the sky with one hand; we still need to settle down first, and thoroughly understand the power structures, personal connections, and factions in the entire Shanan before proceeding.
Liu Zhizhong came here to be the county magistrate, and the situation is truly different from when Zhang Hongyang went to be the county mayor of Shadong County. Zhang Hongyang was deliberately cultivated by the organization; the signals of support were clear. If money was needed, money was given; whatever strength was needed, it was provided. The Zhang Family was a powerful local force, more than enough to manage a county.
As for Liu Zhizhong, he came just because he came. His background and such were not even hinted at Shanan County. Sometimes, seeing the way some of the State Committee and State Government leaders looked at him, it felt as if they were saying: This kid has come here to muddle along until retirement, with no hope!
Thus, after sending off the leaders from the four major bodies of the State Committee and State Government, Liu Zhizhong officially began his journey as the Shanan County Magistrate.
That afternoon, the county party committee held a regular meeting with the main purpose of having Liu Zhizhong and the party committee team formally consult, chat, and discuss the planning and prospects for the national economy and people's livelihood in Shanan County, which was all just a formality.
Attending the meeting, of course, was County Party Secretary Mo Dayou taking the lead, followed by the county mayor, executive deputy county mayor, county party committee office director, public security bureau director, propaganda minister, organization minister, and others.
Everyone sat together, each with their secretaries. Of course, at the county's administrative district level, the formal title for secretaries is liaison officers, but calling them secretaries is just a habit everyone is used to.
Naturally, Liu Zhizhong brought Hamuer with him.
This time, during the county party committee meeting, everyone spoke in this formal setting, with most discussions being empty and lacking substance.
Originally, after Mo Dayou finished speaking, it was Liu Zhizhong's turn. Within a county, the secretary is the boss, the county mayor is second, and the seating and speaking order reflect this.
But Liu Zhizhong declined, saying he preferred to listen to the opinions and speeches of other comrades first, before speaking as a newcomer.
Each of the committee members expressed that County Magistrate Liu is young and capable, has great influence online, and as the new county magistrate, they hope he can lead all the minority ethnic elders and villagers in the county towards a happy future. These are merely words of flattery, without concrete actions.
These days, being an official in a place that's fallen behind, it suffices to speak well; whether things are done well doesn't matter. Sometimes, knowing things can't be done well, if you don't even speak well, that is a great taboo.
Finally, it was Liu Zhizhong's turn to speak.
After saying some formalities directly, Liu Zhizhong said, "Behind closed doors, we are all one family. Liu Zhizhong is straightforward and goes straight to the point. As the County Party Deputy Secretary and the government's county mayor, I am indeed new here and am not familiar with or well-informed about the politics and economy of Shanan County, so I dare not speak in vain. Next, I will express my position to our team and outline the future work directions, and I invite everyone to correct me."
