  Chapter 47: Unfazed by Favor or Disgrace

  "I really don't know what I did wrong... I just started working, from university campus to society, and then to the municipal government office, it's only been a few months. I've said before that my level is limited, and I'm not familiar with the situation in the city, I'm still in the stage of understanding information and learning. At this time, several big materials were handed over to me to complete one after another, is this trust in Peng Yuancheng or intentional trouble?"

  Peng Yuanzheng sneered and vented his emotions, half-true and half-false excitement, "This is really too much!"

  Gong Hanlin's lips trembled slightly.

  Sun Ping's face turned red, but she coldly smiled and said, "Giving you a heavy burden is the leadership cultivating you, testing you. How can it be called intentionally making things difficult for you? Who didn't start from being a newcomer?"

  "Alright, alright, this is what they call nurturing and testing! I've got it!" Peng Yuanzheng excitedly jumped up from his seat and strode out of the office.

  As soon as Peng Yuanzheng walked out of the office door, the look of indignation on his face dissipated. He stood at the bathroom door, slowly sorting out his slightly disordered thoughts.

  In the office. Ma frowned and looked up at Gong Hanlin, "Gong Ke, isn't this too much for Xiao Peng? Who tortures new employees like this?"

  Wang Na raised her head and muttered a sentence, "I think Comrade Xiao Peng will be transferred soon too, the water in the propaganda department is too muddy, he's still too tender."

  "Stop talking nonsense! Everyone should mind their own business!" Gong Hanlin stood up and scolded angrily.

  ……

  ……

  Two o'clock in the afternoon.

  The municipal party committee's auditorium, Xin'an Municipal Party Committee held a mobilization conference to promote the third industry.

  Municipal Party Secretary Xue Xinlai took the lead, followed closely by Municipal Deputy Secretary and Mayor Zhou Guangli, then Municipal Standing Deputy Secretary Han Wei also went up to the podium. The three high-ranking leaders sat on the podium.

  The four sets of members of the municipal party committee, district and county party secretaries, district and county heads, persons in charge of public security, procuratorate, court and justice departments, leading officials of municipal government departments, deputy department-level cadres of the municipal party committee, and party committee principals of large enterprises and universities stationed in Xin'an City attended the meeting.

  The entire staff of the Propaganda Department's News Division attended the meeting because it was their responsibility to participate in such large-scale conferences, and the News Division generally coordinated with the media.

  Xue Xinlai's expression was very serious, and Mayor Zhou Guangli also looked stern. Deputy Secretary Han Weiqing cleared his throat and began to preside over the meeting, "Alright, comrades, let's start the meeting."

  Today, after the municipal party committee's standing committee studied and decided, today the municipal party committee solemnly held a mobilization conference to promote the third industry... Next, please let Vice Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor Zhou Guangli read the Xianyang Municipal Party Committee's "Opinions on Promoting the Third Industry and Flourishing Market Economy".

  Warm applause erupted, and Zhou Guangli's face finally revealed a hint of a smile.

  He nodded and began to read aloud the municipal party committee's decision, a red-headed document that had to be recited verbatim without any personal embellishment. Therefore, Zhou Guangli's reading was flat and unremarkable, and very fast.

  Zhou Guang finished reading the document. Han Wei took a deep breath and said, "Next, please welcome Mayor Xue to give an important instruction."

  The venue once again erupted in thunderous applause. Xue Xinlai's mouth twitched with a hint of a smile as he opened the speech draft tucked between his notebook, and began to speak according to the script.

  Contrary to the expectations of many, Secretary Xue's speech, apart from a few places where he improvised and elaborated on the spot, basically adopted the draft written by Peng Yuanzheng.

  Not only could Peng Yuanzheng hear it, but Zhu Chengrong, Gong Hanlin, and Sun Ping also heard it. As a result, some people's faces looked very unsightly. Zhu Chengrong's eyebrows were tightly locked, while Sun Ping was shocked with her mouth agape, her hands clenched into fists, and a hint of ferocity and savagery in her eyes.

  That's all right then.

  Xue Xinlai quickly finished reading the script, but his speech had just begun to deviate from the theme of the tertiary industry. He talked about the city's economy and urban construction, social security and education investment, talent reserves and reserve cadre training, and the style of work in government agencies, with a logical span so large and a transition so fast that it was difficult for people to keep up.

  In the beginning, it was still about achievements, but later on, it was all about raising questions, with a very severe tone. Finally, there were serious criticisms of phenomena such as buck-passing and cliques within the organization, with veiled warnings and subtle attacks that made some people feel uneasy.

  "At present, our city's reform and opening up as well as modernization construction are at a critical period. All aspects of economic, political and social life are undergoing profound changes. Especially with the implementation of the national central region rise strategy, new tasks have been put forward for us, and higher requirements have also been put forward for leading cadres and organs at all levels. Faced with the new situation, new opportunities and new challenges, what should we do?"

  "Is it to continue doing things perfunctorily, shirking responsibilities and engaging in petty squabbles when there's nothing else to do? Or is it to change our work style to adapt to the development of the situation? Is it to be picky and sloppy at work, just going through the motions, or to take solid steps to improve work efficiency? I hope that after this meeting, everyone will reflect seriously and deeply examine their own problems."

  "When it comes to work, some of our comrades are in the forefront when it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, but when it comes to work, they start to shrink back, spending their days in a daze, unclear about what's going on."

  "Now, I'd like to mention and commend a young comrade from the Propaganda Department's News Section, whose surname is Peng. This comrade has just started working, but quickly got into the role, with excellent overall quality, not only having a solid work attitude, but also very high work efficiency. To be honest with everyone, the 3,000-word speech I gave at this meeting today was written by this comrade, whom I specifically assigned to do it."

  "I only gave him two days, Saturday and Sunday... The quality of the manuscript is not to mention, this kind of work attitude and work style, is worth letting many old comrades in the organization, including some party member leaders learn."

  "This young comrade is a graduate of Beijing University, and was selected from this year's university graduates by the municipal party committee organization department as a young reserve cadre... There are many such young comrades, who are currently working in various departments of the municipal party committee and government system. This is our fresh blood. The reason why the Party's cause can thrive without decline lies here..."

  Xue Xinlai's voice was low and powerful, echoing in the auditorium for a long time. The "extra words" he spoke off the cuff were more than what was written on the speech draft, enough to show his attitude of "the wine is not intoxicating, but the intention is".

  The municipal party secretary commended a young man who had just started working at the meeting, which is not common. Why he did so, no one can understand his true state of mind, but for the propaganda department personnel present, it has a different meaning.

  Vice Minister Zhu Chengrong's face turned red like a pig's liver.

  The municipal party secretary publicly praised Peng Yuanzheng, which was equivalent to slapping him in the face - he had just severely criticized the so-called sneaky and cunning person, but in the mouth of the municipal party secretary, he became an excellent reserve cadre. The speech that he thought would displease Secretary Xue got a perfect score, can it be said that Zhu Chengrong's level is higher than Secretary Xue's?

  Obviously not.

  The news department staff and the media reporters sat in the same spectator seat, Gong Hanlin's face was complicated as he turned to look at Peng Yuanzheng, Sun Ping's face turned pale, and her whole body felt cool.

  How did this happen?

  How could this be?!

  Sun Ping's mouth twitched, the notebook in her hand dropped to the ground with a loud "pa" sound, but the sound was immediately drowned out by the thunderous applause from the audience.

  Peng Yuanzheng sat quietly, his calm and composed demeanor earning the admiration and appreciation of many government officials, but in Sun Ping's eyes, it was magnified into a huge boulder that pressed down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.
