NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1153: The Flavor of Shan'an
When Mo Dayou said this, the others immediately followed suit and flattered him, quickly appeasing Liu Zhizhong.
Because the secretaries weren't taking notes, what was said at this moment was quite entertaining.
"That's right, County Magistrate Liu, what's the point in making a fuss in Shanan? It's better to stay in the county town, eat and drink as you please! Anyway, the higher-ups don't make any demands of us."
"Exactly, as long as you come to terms with it, there's no need to interact with the grassroots in the countryside, and our lives in the county town will be much more comfortable. For those villagers, the highest-ranking official they might see in a lifetime could be the town mayor. What if they get scared when a county mayor like you visits?"
"Staying in the county town playing cards, having a drink, visiting hot springs, getting massages, and a foot bath whenever there's time, that's still quite enjoyable. Our county may be small and poor, but if you want to find nice places to spend money, they do exist, hehe..."
"Political achievements aren't important, what's important is that we live here, figuring out ways to make life a bit more comfortable. As long as the county doesn't progress or stir up trouble, the higher-ups are happy..."
"The poverty alleviation funds will be allocated in full, and not a coin of the performance pay will be missing..."
"To put it bluntly, County Magistrate Liu, once you've handled the official duties, there's nothing to worry about. Isn't your wife's situation special? You could spend half of each month back home in the Hospital with your wife, and it wouldn't matter, no one will report you or say you're shirking your duties. Year after year, you'll still be chosen as an exemplary official, along with our Secretary Mo…"
"Exactly, County Magistrate Liu, to be a good person and a good official in Shanan, you have to think wisely..."
"..."
The conversation was lively and full of noise, a bustling scene. This wasn't revolutionary spirit, this was realism, a thorough lay-flat philosophy.
Liu Zhizhong could only listen with a smile and nod, finally saying, "Thank you all for your concern, Liu Zhizhong remembers it in his heart. I can also understand this philosophy of life and governance you all have."
"Rest assured, as for me, first, I do need to consider family factors; second, I still plan to visit the countryside, but there's no rush, I'll take it slow, and consider it a tour of the pristine nature!"
"If it's with a travel mindset, then it's much more relaxed, right? I'm someone who doesn't play cards much, nor enjoys drinking and feasting all the time, enjoying nature is just fine for me."
"Don't worry about me, I'm just going for a budget trip in the countryside. I'll still handle the county's official duties properly. I will also ensure close coordination and communication with everyone's work in the county town."
"I'll walk and see in the countryside, and after seeing it, if there's something I can do, I'll do it; if not, I'll dine, drink, get foot massages, and play cards with everyone! After today's meeting, which is to say tonight, I, Liu Zhizhong, will host and invite all revolutionary comrades to have a meal, foot baths to enhance our camaraderie. I earnestly request that everyone give me this face, how about it?"
Qu Hongsheng immediately stood up and said, "Since County Magistrate Liu is in a travel mindset, I have no objections! But your last few words truly capture the Shanan spirit, spot on, I have no complaints, hahaha…"
As soon as there was talk of hosting a meal, the atmosphere immediately came alive, filled with laughter and anticipation.
And then, the county party committee meeting turned into a gourmet foot bath discussion meeting, completely changing its essence!
But this essence, Liu Zhizhong could feel it, it's precisely the essence of Shanan...
