147: Chapter 147 2007 Has Arrived

For quite a long time after that, the project to build a beautiful countryside in Mishui Township was put on the agenda.

First, the Mishui Township Police Station took swift and decisive action to crack down on gangs and evil forces, successfully striking at some local bullies and drifters in Mishui Township.

The overall public security in Mishui Township was still quite good.

Therefore, the Police Station did not achieve any overly spectacular results, failing to even reach the threshold for commendations within the public security system.

However, Sun Ning was very satisfied.

Because the masses were very satisfied.

Consequently, the reputation of the Police Station in Mishui Township rose significantly.

There was also the specific work of increasing minimum living allowances and caring for the "five guarantees" households and the extremely impoverished.

During this period, the economy of Mishui Township also underwent earth-shaking changes.

First, due to the effect of advertising, Shenlan Food sold extremely well nationwide.

Orders for goods from general distributors in various provinces and regions piled up in General Manager Li Tao's office.

Consequently, every production line at Shenlan Food ran twenty-four hours a day without rest.

Three-shift operations required a large number of workers.

This was good news for Mishui Township.

Furthermore, the electric vehicle production base had also begun construction.

Because the electric bicycle production base was successfully established, many investors in related industries brought their capital over.

The entire industrial park area in the north of Mishui Township was a scene of bustling activity.

Time passed unconsciously until the eve of the 2007 Spring Festival.

This year was a year of harvest for Mishui Township; there is no need to mention the various commendations from the county.

Indicators such as the total economic output and per capita disposable income of Mishui Township increased significantly.

This year was also the year Gongfan County made the biggest splash.

The successful inauguration of the Government Service Hall meant that Gongfan County, and even Mishui Township, received more and more inspection delegations.

This year, the seat of the Mishui Township Government also expanded by nearly double.

Now, the northern industrial park of Mishui Township and the location of the Township Government were almost connected.

Many construction sites were in operation.

The newly built park in the northwest of Mishui Township had also completed its final inspection.

This park instantly became the favorite place for the masses of Mishui Township to visit.

In short, Mishui Township presented a flourishing scene.

In the Gongfan County Party Committee building, in Secretary Wang Shengli's office.

"This year is finally over. It was all the tricks you came up with, and Gongfan County had to follow along and be inspected!"

"Party Secretary, you are in pain but happy, right? Once your term ends, you'll at least be a Vice Mayor. If things go well, it won't just be a simple Vice Mayor!"

Obviously, Secretary Wang Shengli was very pleased with Sun Ning's words.

He could barely hide his smile!

That's right, Secretary Wang Shengli had hit the jackpot; he had been on CCTV, received inspection delegations at the national level, and was explicitly praised by Zheng Zhanzhong.

Especially the praise from Zheng Zhanzhong.

You have to know that for the Government Service Hall matter, the pressure was shouldered by Secretary Wang Shengli and County Head Feng Yubin.

The benefits were shared by everyone.

Therefore, Zheng Zhanzhong was bound to reward them.

In the system, the greatest reward is a promotion in rank.

It's just that Secretary Wang Shengli had only been serving as County Party Committee Secretary for barely a year, so his qualifications were somewhat insufficient.

If he waits another year or so, rising a rank would be natural and unobtrusive.

If Secretary Wang Shengli could achieve significant political achievements in the time to come, a leapfrog promotion would also be no problem.

Secretary Wang Shengli restrained his smile, cleared his throat, and said, "The approval for transitioning Mishui Township into a town has been completed. The inauguration ceremony can be launched after the New Year!"

"Really? I didn't expect it to be so fast!"

"Who told you to achieve such outstanding results? Secretary Zheng personally inquired about it, so how could it not be fast?"

"I am grateful for Secretary Zheng's support for the work in Mishui Township."

"Alright, you should report your thanks to Secretary Zheng in person. Don't think I don't know that you don't even have to queue when you go to the Party Secretary's office."

Secretary Wang Shengli's words made Sun Ning feel proud.

He was doing quite well for himself in Zhongzhou.

Not only was he the Mayor's trusted lieutenant, but he was also an honored guest in the Party Secretary's office.

The reason for this situation was that the rank of Zheng Zhanzhong and the rank of Gao Feng were inconsistent.

This was the reason he could handle both sides with ease.

Moreover, Gao Feng could not be considered his backer, but rather his senior fellow apprentice.

This was also the reason he dared to associate with Zheng Zhanzhong.

Seeing Sun Ning laughing it off and not wanting to mention his special treatment too much, Secretary Wang Shengli changed the subject.

"Sun Ning, after Mishui Township becomes a town, you will be the first Town Party Committee Secretary of Mishui Town. How are the leaders planning to arrange your position?"

"I will listen to whatever the organization arranges, and I still need you, Party Secretary, to guide me more!"

"How could I possibly arrange your position? It's possible I might work with you. However, I have a feeling you might be transferred to Zhongzhou by the leaders."

In fact, Sun Ning didn't know where he would be assigned either.

Gao Feng had indeed asked Sun Ning to go to Zhongzhou to help him more than once, but Sun Ning had pushed it off, citing his rank being too low and his usefulness being limited.

Now, he had almost served two years in a substantive section-level position, and coupled with his outstanding political achievements, he also met the conditions for promotion.

The key was that which position he would go to now really wasn't something Gao Feng could decide.

Given how highly Zheng Zhanzhong thought of him, perhaps Zheng Zhanzhong had his own considerations.

"It's estimated that there is still more than half a year left, so I must continue to lay a solid foundation for Mishui Township."

"Go ahead! This is the first stop in your life, and it will be an indelible experience in your memory."

Sun Ning left.

Today was a stability maintenance meeting convened by the County Party Committee and the County Government.

The annual Spring Festival was approaching.

It was time again for thousands of households to light their lamps and the whole nation to celebrate.

This was the time when nothing could go wrong.

If things went wrong, Secretary Wang Shengli's official position could be stripped away.

And as the Township Party Committee Secretary, the stability maintenance work of Mishui Township was also pressed onto him.

This was the difference between the Township Head and the Party Secretary.

In the past, Secretary Xue Hongtao used to do these things.

Sun Ning went back and started making arrangements.

This year's Spring Festival was the same as usual; on the fifth day, he went to the capital to pay a New Year visit to his teacher's home with his senior fellow apprentices.

After returning, he came to Zhongzhou to start his round of New Year visits.

After one round, he was truly exhausted both physically and mentally.

On March 3rd, County Party Committee Secretary and Director of the Peoples Congress Wang Shengli, Chairman Fu Chaoping of the County CPPCC, representatives from various county support units, township-level units, village Party secretaries, village directors, village clerks, Peoples Congress representatives, and all cadres attended the inauguration ceremony for the transition of Mishui Township into a town.

At the inauguration ceremony, comrades from the County Civil Affairs Bureau read the document regarding the transition of Mishui Township into a town.

The leaders unveiled the plaques for the Mishui Town Committee, the Town Peoples Congress, the Town Peoples Government, and the Town Commission for Discipline Inspection, respectively.

Town Party Committee Secretary Sun Ning delivered a speech titled "Striving for Excellence and Writing a New Chapter."

County Party Committee Secretary Wang Shengli took the stage to speak, first affirming the achievements of Mishui Township and then looking forward to the future of Mishui Town.

Chairman Fu Chaoping of the County CPPCC took the stage to speak, affirming the contributions made by people from all walks of life in Mishui Township to the political consultation of Gongfan County.

Reporters from the County TV Station recorded this historic moment.

After the lively inauguration ceremony, Mishui Town returned to tranquility.

At the first Standing Committee meeting of Mishui Town.

Sun Ning proposed a new urban planning and construction plan.

At the meeting, Sun Ning delivered a speech, emphasizing that Mishui Town could not be entirely made of reinforced concrete.

He proposed building a garden-style town, creating a livable, green, humanistic, and smart town.

A wave of urban construction arrived quietly.
