91: Chapter 91 Reception Work

After Vice Mayor Wang Pingan became Vice Mayor, his specific area of responsibility was science, education, culture, and health.

What was thought-provoking was why Secretary Wang Shengli wanted to accompany him personally?

Generally speaking, after Vice Mayor Wang Pingan arrived in Gongfan County, it would have been enough for Secretary Wang Shengli to welcome him.

It would have sufficed for a standing committee member and deputy county head to accompany him to Mishui Township for research.

Considering that Vice Mayor Wang Pingan was promoted from Gongfan County, a county head accompanying him would be a high-standard reception.

Now, the news they received was that Secretary Wang Shengli would be accompanying him personally.

Sun Ning had not received a call from Secretary Wang Shengli either.

It was obvious that Vice Mayor Wang Pingan was not coming this time to find fault.

This wasn't Sun Ning worrying needlessly; one had to know that because of this special education fund, Sun Ning had made Vice Mayor Wang Pingan look quite bad.

Vice Mayor Wang Pingan heading straight to Mishui Township to inspect educational work was quite thought-provoking.

Since Secretary Wang Shengli hadn't said anything, Sun Ning stopped dwelling on these issues.

Besides, in other areas, Sun Ning might still worry about superiors finding problems.

But when it came to the schools, he had absolute confidence.

He personally monitored the special funds, Wang Ling monitored the construction projects, and there was also Secretary Xue Hongtao overseeing the overall situation.

Currently, Mishui Township still had several million in unspent funds.

This money was what Sun Ning prepared to use to increase the soft power of each school.

It remained the initial purpose: resolutely not to misappropriate it for other uses.

Currently, the Township Government's finances were much more comfortable, and Sun Ning also planned to increase investment in education funds to strengthen the educational level of Mishui Township.

For example, increasing the benefits for those volunteers.

These things were all carried out imperceptibly, step by step.

Meanwhile, at the podium, Secretary Xue Hongtao was still announcing the instructions from higher authorities.

"Vice Mayor Wang Pingan's itinerary will last for two days. According to the Municipal Government Office, he will not return to Gongfan County in the middle."

"Let's discuss the process for receiving the leader this time; there will be staff from the County Party Committee Office to guide us."

Hearing these words, Sun Ning couldn't help but find it funny.

Vice Mayor Wang Pingan's understanding of Mishui Township was truly profound.

Mishui Township was much closer to Zhongzhou than the Gongfan County seat, a fact everyone knew.

But the first hotel in Mishui Township hadn't been open for many days, yet this news had already reached the ears of the staff in the Government Office.

The comrades in the Secretariat of the Government Office were indeed well-informed.

Subconsciously, Sun Ning glanced out of the corner of his eye at Deputy Township Head Zhang Zhibo, who had come from the County Party Committee.

It was just a subconscious action; no one could see it.

There was one thing Sun Ning couldn't quite figure out: when Vice Mayor Wang Pingan was in Gongfan County, why didn't he take large-scale action against Mishui Township?

Was the timing not right?

Or was it out of respect for Gao Feng?

Or did he know Secretary Xue Hongtao's background? Did he understand his character?

Perhaps this puzzle was one Sun Ning would never solve.

But regarding the reception issues in Mishui Township, Sun Ning didn't intend to get involved.

He didn't have the time for that.

Therefore, Sun Ning smiled faintly and said, "We only have one hotel in Mishui Township, so there's nothing to discuss regarding accommodations."

"The rest is nothing more than cleaning up and hanging banners."

What Sun Ning wanted to express was very simple: just treat it as normal reception work.

His time was precious now, and he didn't want to waste it on such entertainment.

Secretary Xue Hongtao also understood Sun Ning's meaning.

In his subsequent remarks, he no longer sought the opinions of the comrades.

Instead, he called names directly.

Reception tasks had always been the busiest for the Party and Government Office.

Therefore, Director Zhou Qiang was called upon the most.

"The Township Head is most familiar with the work in Mishui Township, so let the Township Head be responsible for reporting the work."

Throughout the entire reception work, only the person standing next to the leader as the guide was the most likely to shine.

Therefore, there were quite a few people eyeing this position.

You have to know that those who usually came to Mishui Township for research were at most a member of the County Party Committee.

The County Head and Party Secretary might not even come once in a few years.

Now, it was a Vice Mayor from the city coming to Mishui Township for research, and the key was that he would be staying for two days.

Even if it wasn't the first time in history, it was still big news.

Besides, that was a high-and-mighty Vice Mayor; who wouldn't want to show their face?

Little did they know how many people, because they handled the reception well, were valued by higher-level leaders and soared to success from then on.

However, Sun Ning didn't care about this guide position.

He hurriedly declined, saying: "The education in the township is managed by Comrade Wang Ling. She knows every detail of the school reconstruction work by heart, so let her report to the leader!"

"After the County Party Committee leaders arrive, wherever Vice Mayor Wang Pingan inspects, let the leader in charge report. I am just a listener; I won't go up and make a fool of myself."

As soon as Sun Ning said this, it caused the whole room to burst into laughter.

Regardless of whether it was funny or not, everyone was playing along with Sun Ning's joke.

Of course, a considerable portion were also smiles of goodwill.

Sun Ning was not greedy for credit, and he had always been this way; this was also the reason why his prestige in Mishui Township was so high.

Secretary Xue Hongtao did not dwell too much on this issue and agreed to Sun Ning's suggestion.

And he instructed the people in charge of each project to be ready to answer questions, and to be reasonable, well-grounded, and measured.

Dealing with higher-level inspections was a compulsory course for everyone in the system.

Therefore, Secretary Xue Hongtao did not give any long speeches.

When Sun Ning felt the meeting was about to end, he looked at Secretary Xue Hongtao, signaling that he had something to say.

After Secretary Xue Hongtao received the signal, he let Sun Ning speak directly.

Sun Ning gently closed his notebook, sat up straight, looking like he was about to speak.

Everyone present noticed him and instantly sat up straight as well.

This was a person's prestige, expressed vividly in certain details.

"Since everyone is here today, I happen to have a matter for us to discuss together."

"As you all know, I mentioned in the Mishui Township Government report that we need to build an electric bicycle production base."

"Currently, the conditions in Mishui Township are mature, and I have decided to go to the south to attract investment."

"Let's discuss the policies for this investment attraction, as well as the location of the production base."

"The investment attraction policy can be compared to Shenlan Food, but I still have some questions about the location."

"Should it be connected to the feed mill and food factory, or should we leave some space empty for future needs?"

Regarding this matter, Sun Ning was somewhat indecisive.

Once the food industry in Mishui Township developed, he believed that other types of enterprises would come to invest.

Therefore, he wanted to reserve some space in the small industrial park.

However, he couldn't stay in Mishui Township forever, and he couldn't guarantee that his successor would follow his ideas.

Once he thought about a large piece of land separating the two industrial parks, he felt as if feces had been splashed on the painting he had outlined.

So he wanted to seek the opinions of the majority.

Because these township cadres might stay in Mishui Township for their whole lives.

If everyone discusses it together now, perhaps they will think of this bond of camaraderie later.

"I think it should be placed together. We are only at the scale of a township, and our resources are limited, so we can't waste them!"

This was very much like Secretary Xue Hongtao, maintaining caution and enthusiasm for all work.

After Secretary Xue Hongtao took over the conversation, Sun Ning clearly saw several people who wanted to speak shut their mouths.

For a moment, there was an eerie silence at the scene.

There was no other way; Sun Ning had to mobilize the atmosphere at the scene himself.

"Today is not a show of hands vote, but rather something concerning the development of Mishui Township for the next five or even ten years. I hope everyone will speak freely!"
