Chapter Thirty Repay with Plums

  At night, Yun Jiangtong also asked about Wang Liben's situation. Lu Zhongdong didn't say much, especially since he was being investigated again, and didn't mention a word to avoid worrying his mother. As for Wang Liben's downfall, it was actually all Lu Zhongdong's doing. He planned to thoroughly satisfy his mother after all, this matter had an element of behind-the-scenes manipulation, and if his mother found out about the dark side of his work, she would also feel uneasy in her heart...

  The next morning, Lu Zhengdong followed Wu Zhonghe to the county committee early in the morning.

  The report mainly revolves around Secretary Wen's proposal of several opinions, how to specifically implement them, and ensure the stability of the process. Specifically, it is necessary to unite the vast number of party members and cadres, resolve the contradictions between the party and the masses, correct the negative impact caused by Wang Liben, and Secretary Liao also attaches great importance to this report, inquiring about the details of the report in a relatively detailed manner.

  Wu Zhonghe and Lu Zhengdong were also well-prepared, and they explained one by one. It can be seen that the whole report was very satisfactory to Secretary Liao.

  "It seems that you have fully understood the few opinions of Secretary Wen about your village's work. The idea you put forward to promote various village works through development is very good, and it completely grasps Secretary Wen's instructions."

  "The road repair and expansion project you proposed as a breakthrough for the entire development, to drive the economic development of the whole town, promote the increase in income and wealth of the people, alleviate contradictions between the government and the people, eliminate the bad influence of Wang Liben in the mountains and countryside, and win the support and recognition of the people. This entry point is well chosen, the overall direction is correct, and the plan is well thought out. It seems that you have indeed put your minds to it. However, repairing roads is not a simple matter. Although the people are now supportive, once the repair work starts, it will involve the interests of many ordinary people, and there may be some trouble. Ideological work must be done carefully, and preparations must be thorough. If we do it, we must do it well, so that the people are satisfied."

  Wu Zhonghe nodded:

  "We must follow the instructions of Secretary Wen and Secretary Liao to do our work solidly and meticulously, and not disappoint the expectations of Secretaries Wen and Liao as well as the county party committee."

  Liao Secretary nodded and turned his head to Lu Zhengdong:

  "No matter whether it's repairing roads or expanding factories, the purpose is to promote the development of the countryside. Comrade Zhengdong, you should assist Zhonghe in grasping the economic work of the whole township. Secretary Wen said that the key to solving problems still lies in development. Only when we truly develop can many contradictions that seem thorny at present be easily resolved."

  I just heard Comrade Zheng Dong also talked about this aspect of thinking, which is still very good. Like young comrades like Lu Zhengdong, they have a broad cultural perspective, are full of energy and fighting spirit, but as people get older, many still hold on to the conservative idea of "seniority", Comrade Zhonghe, you should fully utilize the advantages of such young cadres, let them go and do it, be bold enough to let go, at the same time, in work and life, pay more attention to care for them, create a space for them to display their talents, let them have no worries.

  Wu Zhonghe hastily said:

  "Secretary Liao, you are absolutely right. Comrade Zhengdong has the ability and level, and his achievements in work are also evident to all. If Shanhe Township wants to develop its economy, it needs someone like Comrade Zhengdong to take charge. Don't you think...it's worth considering letting Comrade Zhengdong join the township party committee?"

  Wu Zhonghe hesitated for a moment before bringing up the matter of Lu Zhengdong joining the party committee. With one stake and three supports, one good man with three helpers, due to his relationship with Wang Liben, he still had some heart knots with several members of the party committee. Although he also expressed a forgiving attitude, the rural party committee members were still wary of him, and their cooperation at work was not very active. In the countryside, Lu Zhengdong was the most considerate of him, and his work support was the greatest. This report could make Secretary Liao very satisfied, and Lu Zhengdong had given him many good suggestions. With Lu Zhengdong among the party committee members, it would be greatly beneficial for him to truly open up the situation.

  However, he was only temporarily presiding over the work and not the real township party secretary. He needed to open up the situation in his work, but he urgently needed Lu Zhengdong's support. Although it was a bit presumptuous to bring this up in front of Liao Secretary, he felt anxious in his heart. The mistakes made by Shanhe Township were too many, and they couldn't afford any more slips. If there was even a slight error, he wouldn't have any opportunity at all. Moreover, he could see that Liao Secretary had a pretty good impression of Lu Zhengdong, so he took the opportunity to bring it up, hoping to get Liao Secretary's support.

  Wu Zhonghe suddenly proposed to Liao Secretary that he be allowed to join the Party Committee, which also came as a surprise to Lu Zhengdong. However, in his heart, he was delighted. Wu Zhonghe had just thrown him an olive branch, and now Lu Zhengdong immediately reciprocated with a plum. Although becoming a member of the Party Committee would not bring about any change in rank, it would truly mean entering the decision-making circle of the township government, having real say in the affairs of the township, and also being greatly beneficial for future development. This seemed like just one small step in his official career, but in reality, it was a giant leap forward in life.

  This is a good opportunity for himself. Wu Zhonghe brought it up in front of Liao Secretary at this time, and the probability of getting approved is still very high...

  Liao Xuefeng hesitated for a moment before saying:

  "Oh, putting comrades who are capable of doing things in suitable positions is supported by the county government in principle. However, we still need to solicit opinions from other members of your township party committee and the masses of party members. We must uphold inner-party democracy. If the majority of people support it, then it's a natural thing."

  Liao Xuefeng paused for a moment, he also knew the unspoken meaning in Wu Zhonghe's words, knowing that Wu Zhonghe was just presiding over work and his identity was somewhat delicate. After thinking for a moment, he continued to say:

  "Shanhe Township is currently facing many challenges and difficulties, but it is also an opportunity to solve these challenges and difficulties. Comrade Zhonghe, you must fulfill your duties in a down-to-earth manner and not be constrained by circumstances. The party congress is about to convene, and stability takes precedence over everything else - this is the task entrusted to you by the county committee and government. Today, I am representing the county committee and Secretary Wen to have a formal talk with you. The county attaches great importance to Shanhe Township, and the county committee has entrusted you with presiding over the overall work of Shanhe County, showing full trust and support for you - this attitude is clear."

  You should let go of your hands and feet, do a good job as the leader, fully play the role of the team collective, strengthen the construction of grassroots party organizations, fully play the fortress role of grassroots party organizations, mobilize the enthusiasm of the broad masses of Party members and cadres, fully play the vanguard and exemplary role of Party members and cadres, unite all forces that can be united, lead the cadres and masses of Shanhe Township to maintain stability and development, and complete the task assigned by the county party committee and government without any discount.

  Lu Zhengdong heard that Secretary Liao was making a concluding statement, and he quickly stood up with Wu Zhonghe to express his views, then retreated from Secretary Liao's office...
