NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1207
This proposal was met with a unanimous response. Stirring things up, that's what officials do best.
Liu Zhizhong, following the rhythm, said: "County Head Zhang must have experiences and insights to share with everyone. Come on, let's give a round of applause!"
Damn, Liu Zhizhong led the applause, and the entire Standing Committee conference room burst into applause, all eyes on Zhang Hongyang.
Zhang Hongyang had no choice but to brace himself and step up, improvising a speech on the spot.
This really made him quite frustrated, because right from the start he had to say: "Thanks to Secretary Liu and everyone for giving me this opportunity. Actually, there's not much to say. First of all, Secretary Liu set a great example. When Secretary Liu came to Shanan as mayor, he did things this way, and the results are evident—publishing books, selling rights, making donations and all that..."
As he continued, he had to focus on Liu Zhizhong, showering him with praise, even if insincerely—such things have to be said, making the Party and secretary the center. Sigh... You tell me, isn't Zhang Hongyang feeling oppressed inside? While buttering up, he even wants to slap himself twice—how the hell can he flatter Liu Zhizhong like this? Sigh...
After Zhang Hongyang finished speaking, another wave of enthusiastic applause swept over the room. Outwardly, he appeared glorious, but inside, he was still full of grievance. This is the experience of being under someone, especially an enemy!
Then the Standing Committee proceeded with the agenda items, everything going smoothly.
Finally, when everyone felt it was about time to wrap up, Liu Zhizhong said: "Before the meeting, I had an in-depth and friendly exchange with County Head Zhang. County Head Zhang voluntarily expressed his commitment to make significant contributions to the county's economic development. Now, let's welcome County Head Zhang to talk about his plans and arrangements, so we can discuss and decide on it together."
With this, everyone perked up, eager to see how this new county head would get things done.
Zhang Hongyang kept a smiling facade, but inside, he was swearing! Liu Zhizhong, that bastard, calling it a friendly exchange? They almost came to blows, for Christ's sake!
His three fires as the new official have already been two-fold: the rural visits eating away his dark and thin figure, and the county's rural road construction. The third fire, indeed, has to be grasping the economy, sigh...
At the moment, Zhang Hongyang remained seated, didn't even scribble any notes, because Liu Zhizhong had already set the expectations, and he had a decent memory.
Like hell, this isn't his own plan, it was obviously Liu Zhizhong setting him up.
Yet, Zhang Hongyang still said: "Indeed, in the private meeting before the conference with Secretary Liu, we discussed it and thought it feasible. Now, I report to the Standing Committee."
"Firstly, I will personally lead, completing the planning, design, and establishment of the county's ring road, as well as the allocation of funds. The county will raise funds independently, and also seek money from the prefecture and province. It is anticipated to be completed in three months and start construction three months after that. The ring road is the county's calling card, and Secretary Liu's foresight is impressive!"
"Secondly, I will personally lead, undertaking the county's business tourism development. Within two months, external funding of 10 billion is to be introduced. Previously, in Shadong County, I was in agriculture, so I have such resources and will make contact with Shadong County to bring in half of the agricultural projects. Meanwhile, I'll fight for more funding from the prefecture and province."
"Thirdly..."
