89: Chapter 89 went directly to Dahe Township

For some time now, I have been quite good to Qin Chuan, protecting his development; Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong must have noticed.

Seeing that my performance was good, he promoted me by one level, from the division level to the deputy department level...

He sat in the car, thinking about this for a long time.

It can be said that sometimes one's own imagination is terrifying; County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang was certain that this must be the reason.

When the car entered the territory of Sanjiang County, it was past two in the afternoon. Because they had rested at a service station at noon and had lunch, the driver was preparing to head straight into the county seat, seeing that it was past two o'clock. Little did he know, County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang spoke up.

"Don't go back to the County Party Committee first; go straight to Dahe Township."

A while later, the car got onto a beautiful, smooth asphalt road, driving quickly and steadily.

Noticing that his boss seemed to be in a good mood, the driver spoke a bit more. Usually, he would just keep his head down and drive, rarely talking.

"Boss, Dahe Township has done a really good job. In the past, this road was dilapidated. I could only drive at most thirty kilometers per hour, and if I wasn't careful, the chassis would get scraped. Now it's great; I can drive at sixty or seventy kilometers per hour without any problems."

Looking through the window at the smooth asphalt road outside, County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang nodded, feeling increasingly satisfied with Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan has been the head of Dahe Township for less than a year, but the changes in Dahe Township are immense, and the achievements made are visible to all.

It's a pity that I am about to take a position at the Department of Transport; otherwise, in at most another half a year, I would definitely recommend him to the Organization Department to enter the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee.

There are precedents for township Party Committee secretaries entering the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, so it is not strange.

Of course, such townships must be large townships with relatively strong economic strength. Entering the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee means that the rank is at least at the deputy division level.

County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang suddenly asked, "Xiao Li, you have been my liaison for more than three years, right?"

Xiao Li was slightly surprised. What happened to Secretary Cao today? Not only was he in a very good mood, with joy almost written on his face, but he was also asking such a question suddenly.

"Secretary, it has been three and a half years."

County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang said, "That is long enough. I have seen your performance over these three years. Thank you for your hard work. How about this: you now have two choices. Either go to a bureau office below to serve as the head, or go to a township below to serve as a township head or town mayor."

Xiao Li suddenly realized something and asked, "Secretary, are you getting a promotion?"

County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang said, "Yes, the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee spoke with me and is preparing to promote me to serve as the deputy director of the Provincial Department of Transport."

Xiao Li said with pleasant surprise, "Secretary, congratulations!"

"Secretary, if I am allowed to choose, I want to go to a township below, like Secretary Qin Chuan, and achieve some results."

"Good, then get ready, go down there, and do a great job!"

When the car arrived at Dahe Township, it was about three in the afternoon.

The No. 1 car of the County Party Committee was still very eye-catching; as soon as the car entered the courtyard of the Township Government, it was discovered.

"Wow, that is the No. 1 car of the County Party Committee!"

"Is Secretary Cao here!"

"Why is there only one car? Shouldn't there be several cars coming together?"

Director Hu Qibin knew that Secretary Cao had arrived, so he almost trotted into Qin Chuan's office. "Secretary, Secretary Cao from the County Party Committee is here. The strange thing is that he only has one car, and apart from his secretary, he hasn't brought anyone else."

Qin Chuan waved his hand and said, "Let's go, we will go to welcome Secretary Cao!"

Although he did not know why Secretary Cao had come alone, he was the County Party Secretary, so etiquette must be observed, and it was appropriate to take the initiative to welcome him.

As soon as Qin Chuan left his office, he saw County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang in the corridor.

He hurried over. "Secretary Cao, you are here. Why didn't you notify us in advance so we could welcome you?"

County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang was obviously in a very good mood. He laughed and said, "No need for a welcome. I came here just to take a look at the Jiucailing Coal Mine and to hear your report."

On the surface, that was of course what he said; in private, he definitely had to express his gratitude.

Qin Chuan enthusiastically took County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang into the reception room, sat down on the sofa, and then reported on the situation of the coal mine.

What! Is the output already this high?

The monthly coal output has exceeded 1.5 million tons!

Qin Chuan nodded and said, "Starting from next month, our output will stabilize at around two million tons, with an annual output of over twenty million tons!"

Even if they mine more than twenty million tons per year, this coal mine can still be mined for a full fifty or sixty years.

Qin Chuan had even thought about whether to continue expanding production capacity and then build a large Thermal Power Plant to convert coal into electrical energy for transport.

However, this was only a plan for the time being, existing only in Qin Chuan's mind, and had not yet been put into actual action.

After hearing the report, County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang's mood seemed even better.

With such a coal mine, not to mention Dahe Township, the economic drive for the entire Sanjiang County would be immense.

At the same time, he also had a bit of worry.

With such a large coal mine and such high monthly revenue, with an annual income of twenty or thirty billion, he didn't know if the next County Party Secretary would be jealous and want to take it over for the county to manage and operate.

If Qin Chuan disagreed, then a conflict between him and the new County Party Secretary would probably be inevitable, and then...

Thinking of this, he could only smile in his heart, hoping that such a situation would not happen, but even if it really did, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

After hearing the report, County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang went to inspect the coal mine with great interest, staying there until evening before leaving.

Accompanying him, besides Qin Chuan, were several township leaders from Dahe Township.

After the inspection, everyone prepared to eat together and even prepared to have a few drinks.

Little did they know, County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang invited, "Secretary Qin Chuan, get in my car. Today, I am treating you privately. How about the two of us find a place and have a few drinks?"

Since the County Party Secretary had personally invited him, Qin Chuan naturally agreed immediately.

Seeing Qin Chuan get into the No. 1 car of the County Party Committee, others were envious.

This was the County Party Secretary treating, and he could also ride in the No. 1 car of the County Party Committee with the County Party Secretary. Secretary Qin Chuan was impressive!

County Magistrate's office.

It was already past five in the afternoon, and people in the courtyard of the County Party Committee had basically finished work, but County Magistrate Zhang Yuansong had not. He sat in his office chair, listening to his secretary's report.

After listening, he was slightly surprised and asked, "You are saying that after Secretary Cao returned from the province, he went straight to Dahe Township?"

"Yes, Secretary Cao also went to inspect the Jiucailing Coal Mine. I heard he was in a very good mood, talking and laughing, and praised the leadership team of Dahe Township more than once."

County Magistrate Zhang Yuansong was puzzled.

What was wrong with County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang? He went to the provincial capital yesterday, and after coming back today, he actually went straight to Dahe Township. He didn't even attend an important meeting in the afternoon, and he probably didn't handle some important documents either.

He really couldn't figure it out.

This was a bit unlike County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang's style.
