53: Chapter 53: The Leaders’ Purpose 53: Chapter 53: The Leaders’ Purpose In the small meeting room, members of the village team were seated, and so were several leaders from the county.
Secretary Zhao looked around at everyone, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said, “Your village has become quite infamous recently, especially this time, with an entire team encountering problems.
The provincial leaders are paying close attention to this, and so are the leaders above and below.”
The hearts of everyone sank, being noticed by higher-ups was usually a good thing, but under these circumstances, it posed quite a headache.
Secretary Zhao addressed the crowd, “This time, the county committee has also divided the work, and each of us needs to take responsibility for the poverty alleviation of a village.
Your village is the most backward in the county, and the county committee’s goal is to lift the whole village out of poverty in the shortest possible time.
The county has made a firm decision on this, so each of you will need to come with us to the villages to find a way to help the local residents out of poverty.”
Mayor Zou Minping added, “Secretary Zhao is right.
Only by lifting the whole village out of poverty can we change the image here.
A few of us have come this time, and in the next phase, more comrades will come.
Put other matters aside for now, and arrange for someone to accompany us to investigate the situation below.”
Organization Department Director Hu Xingbing said, “We also understand that adjusting your grassroots team is a significant matter.
Let’s put that aside for now, and you can address it after returning.
This also has the benefit of allowing you to familiarize yourselves further with the situation during this period.”
Yan Xingshun quickly said, “Leaders, rest assured, we will make sure to do a good job accompanying you.
We also need to understand the situation more deeply.”
Chu Shuyuan did not speak and sat listening.
Secretary Zhao spoke again, “Secretary Chu, you are the leader familiar with the situation here, please tell us.”
Chu Shuyuan said, “I have actually not been in this village for long, and I don’t know much about the situation.
Since the committee has already divided the work, I proposed to go to the most difficult area, so please have Comrade Ji Yang accompany me there.”
Secretary Zhao then laughed, “Secretary Chu has taken away all the comrades familiar with the situation here!”
Seeing everyone looking over, Ji Yang said, “The village officials have not left yet, so it’s possible to have them accompany us.
Besides, there are also some officials in the village familiar with the situation.”
Mayor Zou Minping said, “Ji is right, go ahead and make the arrangements.
However, you few officials must also participate in the accompanying.”
Secretary Zhao looked to Yan Xingshun, “Xingshun, arrange my matters please.”
“Alright,” Yan Xingshun agreed.
Mayor Zou Minping turned to He Chengjun, “For the governmental aspect, let Comrade Cheng Jun handle it.”
Chu Shuyuan said, “Qingyuan Village currently has nine administrative villages and some natural villages.
Let’s conduct the survey based on the administrative villages, and each village will be under the charge of one comrade.”
Secretary Zhao added, “The other comrades from the county who finish their current tasks will also come over today.
When they arrive, you need to divide the tasks among yourselves.”
After the meeting, Ji Yang was busy making arrangements.
The county leaders had checked into the guesthouse.
Chu Shuyuan already had a room here, so naturally, she settled into the room assigned to her last time.
After his arrangements were all in order, Ji Yang walked toward Chu Shuyuan’s room.
On his way out, he ran into Yan Xingshun coming out of Secretary Zhao’s room.
“Comrade Ji Yang, the comrades that arrived this time are all external officials.
Last time when accommodations were assigned, those people encountered problems.
We need to clear out the rooms for them quickly.”
“I will have someone handle it immediately,” Ji Yang replied.
“I am just worried that people may have complaints about the assigned rooms.”
“We can’t worry about that now, just clear them out.”
After all, those rooms had been occupied by leaders who had experienced issues, and some were still apprehensive about such matters.
“Don’t mind those, just go ahead with the arrangements.
We don’t have better places to live here anyway.”
“Should we seek everyone’s opinion tomorrow?” Ji Yang still suggested, knowing that Yan Xingshun’s room hadn’t been problematic. Fresh chapters posted on novel·fire·net
He probably wouldn’t mind, but what the others thought was hard to say.
Yan Xingshun looked at Ji Yang, thinking to himself how meticulous this young man was.
He had wanted to use this issue to breed dissatisfaction with him, but it hadn’t worked.
After that, Yan Xingshun entered his room, and Ji Yang knocked on Chu Shuyuan’s door.
When he entered, he found Chu Shuyuan had just finished taking a shower.
The room was filled with a fragrant scent and was steamy.
Since their last encounter, the awkwardness between them had dissipated.
Chu Shuyuan smiled, “Don’t worry, I won’t open the door anymore.”
Looking at Chu Shuyuan, seeing her long legs turned pinkish white from the bath, a fire ignited in Ji Yang’s heart.
