Chapter 104: Heading to Dahu County
As for what shouldn't have been seen, Lin Jian didn't elaborate, only knowing that Qi Hengsan was furious on the spot, and then on the afternoon of the same day after work, Zhou Xingxing was transferred from the government office's secretarial department to the policy research office, where he stayed for a whole year. Needless to say, this must have been done by County Magistrate Qi Hengsan himself.
Listening to Lin Jianli's introduction, Feng Sizi nodded thoughtfully. He had never met Zhou Xingxing or Qi Hengsan, and he didn't know what had happened that day. As for this matter, he naturally had no right to speak, but he did know that Zhou Xingxing should have a good relationship with Zhou Chunhai and Lin Jianli, which could be seen from the two men's concern for him.
"Haha, young Feng is promising and will surely bring a breath of fresh air to the Dahuhu County Committee after his arrival. However, based on my years of experience in organizational work, when first arriving at a new post, the most important thing is to get familiar with the current relationships and situation. That's why you need someone who understands the local conditions to guide your work, that's why you need a secretary who can point out things for you." After Lin Jianli finished speaking, Zhou Chunhai suddenly threw out another perspective and theory.
His words seem to have nothing to do with what Lin said, but in fact they are talking about the same thing.
Lin Jianping only mentioned Zhou Xingxing's situation, while Zhou Chunhai directly mentioned Feng Sicheng's future secretary. It is clear that if the two events are linked, then Zhou Chunhai hopes to have Zhou Xingxing transferred to be his secretary. In this case, Zhou Xingxing would also be rescued from the policy research office and return to government work.
Feng Si Zhe, who had never met Chow Sing Chi before, couldn't promise anything, but he still kindly expressed his opinion, "If it's true what Chairman Lam said that Chow Sing Chi is a talented person with good writing skills, then I think when the county government asks me for candidate recommendations, I will consider him first."
"Haha, haha, come on, let's have a drink. Today we'll only talk about romance and not work." Zhou Chunhai smiled and his face suddenly showed more joy. Although Feng Sichao didn't directly agree to make Zhou Xingxing his secretary, but just said he would consider it first, this already made him very happy, because he understood Zhou Xingxing well and believed he could enter Feng Sichao's good graces.
Because the serious talk was over, the atmosphere of the three people drinking together improved a lot. Since they still had to rush to Dahu County to report in the afternoon, none of them drank too much and just touched their cups together. Then, at the end, Zhou Chunhai intentionally nodded at Lin Jianliang, asking him to give more support to Feng Sizhe at work, and also telling Feng Sizhe that as long as he maintained a good relationship with him and handled Zhou Xingxing's matter well, he would directly get Lin Jianliang's cooperation in the county committee and government.
Feng Sichu naturally smiled and nodded in acceptance. However, he didn't think highly of Lin Jianli, and even Zhou Chunhai didn't have a high position in his mind. One director and one deputy director couldn't even solve the problem of a small clerk, which was enough to illustrate the issue. Who would still expect support from them and be able to achieve their ideals in Dahu County? It's just nonsense.
After lunch, the three of them got into two cars and headed straight for Dahu County.
Dahu County is located in the east of Yongyang City and also serves as the eastern gateway to Zhongzhou Province. It has a total area of 1,481 square kilometers, with 14.5 million mu (about 966,667 hectares) of arable land. The county administers 10 towns, 14 townships, and 731 administrative villages. Its population is approximately 11.5 million people. The urban area of the county seat covers an area of 36 square kilometers with a population of 1.5 million people. It is connected to National Highway 310.
The land of the Great Lake is fertile and rich in special products, making it a typical agricultural county. The main crop is wheat, with cotton and peanuts as the main economic crops. In the county seat, there are two relatively well-known industrial enterprises: a lighter factory and a foundry.
This is what Feng Sizi learned about Dahuxian from the materials, but even if the land here is fertile and the basic survival should be guaranteed, why did Lin Jian say that the people here have a problem with warmth and hunger? This is what he couldn't figure out, maybe only by really going to see it, getting a feel for the situation, can he find the specific reason.
Lin established a Santana car to open the way, Feng Sicheng and Zhou Chunhai followed in another car, and the two cars swayed towards Daluhu County.
It's not that the road is bumpy, but because it's just out of Yongyang City and still in good condition. However, as we head east, the road gets worse, with potholes everywhere due to years of neglect. The cement road surface has many small holes, some even densely packed, making it impossible for cars to avoid them. Sometimes you can only drive over the potholes, which inevitably gives a bumpy feeling. It's a 250-kilometer journey that took us more than three hours to complete. By the time we saw the city of Dahu Lake, it was already after 4 pm. When we arrived at the outskirts of Dahu County, we didn't see the county committee and government car team waiting for us. Feng Sicheng, sitting next to Zhou Chunhai, clearly felt his disappointment. Feng Sicheng also felt a bit uneasy in his heart, not because he was a person who cared about appearances, but because when a superior sends a Standing Committee member to a lower level, the four major departments of the county committee, government, people's congress, and political consultative conference should normally go out to greet them. This is a sign of respect for superiors and a way to welcome new people. However, since no one came to greet us at the city gate, it can only mean two things: either Zhou Chunhai, as the deputy director of the municipal party committee's organization department, was not high-ranking enough, or the Dahu County Committee did not have a good attitude towards Feng Sicheng's arrival.
No wonder, it's because of Feng Sizhe's arrival that Qi Hengsan, who could have been promoted to deputy county head, was stuck in place. Can he not be angry? If we say the original promotion, then Qi Hengsan would be promoted from deputy county head to vice-county head, and then a new deputy county head would take his position and enter the county committee. Similarly, one person's move creates an empty deputy-level position, which prompts many people to move, but Feng Sizhe's sudden arrival has made many people's promotions hopeless, no wonder everyone is resentful.
No one was lined up, and the cars driven by Lin didn't stop either, heading straight to the county government compound. The two cars arrived at the entrance of the county committee, where a large group of people were already lined up in formation, apparently they had some resistance in their minds, but towards the appointment from the higher level, they could only take an obedient attitude, for this reason, although they didn't go to line up outside the city, at least at the entrance of the county committee, they still managed to put on a good show, and save face.
