Chapter 66: Newcomer (Humble request for collection)

  Wu Weiqiang came in and simply reported on the situation of Beixi Town. However, when he faced this young and somewhat overbearing town party secretary for the first time, it was impossible to say that he didn't have some ideas.

  First of all, Liu Siyuan's youth is really astonishing. Wu Weiqiang had previously briefly understood his resume, and the version he heard was that this kid graduated from university at the age of 20, then worked in the municipal government's inspection office for two and a half years, and was promoted to deputy director one and a half years after graduation. His only subordinate is said to be the daughter of the municipal party committee organization department head, and then this kid successfully used public funds for personal gain, deceiving the organization department head's daughter into his hands. From then on, he rose to prominence, becoming a full-level official in just over a year after being transferred out to serve as the town party committee secretary, apparently to give him experience and make his resume look better.

  Secondly, this kid came down this time, after all, he took the position of party secretary that Wu Wei had been nailed to. Wu Wei must be uncomfortable. Originally, the county committee did intend to let him take up the post of party secretary in Linzhen, but considering his years of operation in Beixi and his hometown, he couldn't put down his emotions, so he insisted on staying as the mayor of Rentown.

  After adjusting his mood with difficulty, Wu Wei began to introduce this charming small town in the north of Qianhu Province slowly.

  With his introduction, it must be said that Liu Siyuan feels extremely lucky to have been able to work here instead of in other towns, and believes that Ouyang Xinghua also carefully considered this when making the arrangements.

  Beixi Town is one of the economically developed towns in Qianhu Province, with a population of less than 100,000. The town has eight communities and thirty-seven villages, as well as two industrial parks. Its geographical location is also advantageous, situated between Nanyang City and Ziwai City, making it an ideal place for automobile industry-related enterprises to set up shop. As a result, the town has formed an industrial system centered around textile, machinery, chemical, metallurgy, electronics, building materials, color printing and decoration, food processing, etc. Additionally, Beixi Town's agriculture and forestry industries are also well-developed, with vast fertile land.

  After spending more than an hour roughly introducing the situation, Wu Weiqiang briefly introduced Beixi Town's new five-year plan and finally asked for his opinions. Liu Siyuan was actually clueless and didn't dare to speak rashly, so he deliberated for a while and said: "For now, I don't have any opinions. Firstly, this five-year plan is the crystallization of the wisdom of the previous team, it has been tested by scientific dialectics, and I believe it must be farsighted and effective. On the other hand, I personally am not familiar with the local situation yet, in a few days, I will arrange to visit each village and community, and when I come back, we can discuss again."

  Wu Wei nodded and had no objection. He then changed the subject and asked: "Is Secretary Liu getting used to living in Beixi?"

  Liu Siyuan smiled and said, "To be honest, Beixi Town is even better than I imagined before I came. The results of Mayor Wu's and his team's work over the years are plain to see."

  Wu Weiqiang glanced at him, humbled a few words, and then said: "It's good if Secretary Liu is used to living here. If there's anything, you can also find me, after all, I'm a native of Beixi."

  After Wu Weiqiang left, Liu Siyuan called Zhao Guotang in and asked him to arrange the inspection tour to the village starting tomorrow. Zhao Guotang nodded and said no problem, then asked which leaders Secretary Liu needed to accompany him? Liu Siyuan thought for a moment and said it's okay if just you and Director Ma come along, too many people will make a big scene and nothing can be seen.

  Zhao Guodong nodded and retreated. Liu Siyuan watched his back, vaguely feeling that he didn't seem to have much respect for himself either, guessing that in his eyes, he was just a gold-plated **after all.

  Liu Siyuan may have overestimated himself, there are no secrets within the system, his background has been spread throughout the town party committee and government, everyone knows he is not as good as others, just a freeloader who relied on the daughter of the Hanjiang City Organization Department Director to get by.

  Zhao Guotang also felt a kind of inexplicable sense of loss in his heart, seeing Liu Siyuan already climbing to the rank of deputy director at such a young age. To be honest, it wasn't pleasant for him, knowing that in this level of institution, relying on seniority, one could at most become a section-level cadre, and department-level cadres were high-ranking existences in their eyes. Many people took becoming a deputy department head as the ultimate goal in life. Especially thinking about someone who relied solely on women to get ahead made him feel even more unbalanced. Fortunately, he was also relatively good at self-regulation, otherwise, this job would be really difficult to do.

  In the following days, several town party committee members and deputy mayors also came to report on their work. On the surface, the formalities were fulfilled, but it's hard to say how sincere they were in their reports.

  The first person to leave a deep impression on him was Wu Weiqiang, the town mayor. He had been working in Beixi Town for 13 years and had been promoted to town mayor about five years ago. Originally, the county government planned to promote him to secretary of the town party committee, but then Liu Siyuan came to serve as town mayor. Later, the municipal party secretary Zhang Mingduan suddenly intervened without reason, and the county government did not dare to disobey, so they forcibly put Liu Siyuan directly into the position of secretary of the town party committee. This made the county party leaders feel somewhat sorry for him, so they planned to transfer him to Daqi Town as secretary of the town party committee. Unexpectedly, he disagreed and said that he had strong feelings for his hometown and was willing to give up this promotion opportunity. He also expressed his willingness to fully cooperate with the new party secretary's work. The county government could not do anything about it, so they just let him go.

  About these circumstances, Zheng Gaofeng revealed to him that Liu Siyuan later discussed with Fang Xinyi, who had already become his girlfriend, in their daily evening phone calls. The latter also expressed that this matter must have some hidden reasons. In the officialdom, unless there is a very strong reason, almost no one will give up the opportunity for promotion. However, after pondering on the phone for a while, the two of them couldn't infer anything and could only temporarily put it aside.

  Apart from the town head Wu Wei Qiang, another person who caught his attention was the deputy secretary of the town party committee Bai Chang Jiang. This man was also in his thirties and had a completely different temperament from the other party committee members with their rustic air. He was a typical intellectual, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, refined and courteous, and was said to have a bachelor's degree in politics. He spoke slowly, as if every word that came out of his mouth needed careful consideration. Previously worked at the county committee, transferred to Beixi Town a year ago, and has not changed jobs since then.

  In the town committee and government, those with a bachelor's degree are not many. Liu Siyuan heard that apart from himself, only the deputy secretary of the town committee and a vice mayor named Yixisha were also undergraduate graduates. Zhao Guozhong was a junior college graduate, including him, there were three junior college graduates in the party and government office, basically all from Beixi Town. At that time, the graduation assignment principle was to return to where they came from, of course, generally speaking, those with some connections would try their best to go to the county or even the city, after all, starting high, future development will be much better.

  Back to the original question, this deputy mayor named Yuxisha has some special features. He is in charge of science and technology work in the town government, but he is not a member of the party committee, nor has he ever reported his work to Liu Siyuan. As a party member and deputy mayor, he is not a member of the party committee, which is unique in Beixi Town. The other deputy mayors who are not members of the party committee are either from democratic parties or non-party individuals.

  Liu Siyuan lived in the VIP suite of the town's guest house, with a room backing onto a hillside, surrounded by greenery and fresh air that was unimaginable in his previous life in Hanjiang City. In front of the door to his house, there was a separate large courtyard planted with several camphor trees and ginkgo trees, making the entire environment very quiet and secluded. Ma Feng specially arranged for two little girls to take turns coming to help him with his daily chores, taking care of his daily life, including washing clothes, sweeping the floor, and other tasks that were all taken care of. The two girls worked 24 hours a day in shifts, guaranteeing that someone would be there whenever he called. As for meals, there was also a special canteen to take care of him, so he didn't have to worry about it at all.

  Such thoughtful arrangements made Liu Sanyuan have a good impression of Ma Feng, which was also one of the reasons he decided to bring him along on this research trip to the village. Speaking of which, when he first went to the countryside as the town committee secretary, he really did feel some anxiety in his heart.
