Chapter 203 Selection of Secretary

,

Fang Sheng said: "It's just one thing I think is strange - Jiangye's economic development is not very poor, and its financial resources are good, but after listening for a long time, both investment projects and urban construction are small projects, and there is not a single quota of over 100 million yuan. What is the reason?"

Wu Yucai remained silent, and the other deputy county magistrates looked at each other without saying a word. After a long time of dismay, Fang Jianjun said:

"This is the tone set by the county standing committee. First, it is to prevent too much stalls from breeding corruption; second, the long investment cycle of large projects, large infrastructure, large investments can easily have negative impacts on people's livelihood; third, the specific geographical location of Jiangye determines its investment prudence."

Regarding Jiangye's economic development plan and strategic policy, Fang Sheng knew that he was not familiar with the situation and said more, so he nodded and said:

"Since the tone of the Standing Committee, we will continue to discuss it in the Standing Committee in the future. Regarding the plan to stop the use of the Fumin Bridge and put into repairs and build temporary floating bridges on both sides, I saw in the document that the bridge had been repaired four years ago, right?"

You Dongming heard the questioning meaning in his words and argued: "The Fumin Bridge is a bridge on the main road leading to Wuxiang from Jiangye. It carries a large amount of transportation, and there are many passing vehicles, especially heavy trucks, so the losses are naturally quite serious. Although I was not in charge of this area during the maintenance four years ago, I participated in the bidding and post-audit work. The construction unit is Wuxiang..."

Fang Sheng waved his hand: "Minister You misunderstood. I don't suspect that there is something wrong with the repair, but that the Fumin Bridge was built in the 1960s. The initial design of the load capacity was far from meeting today's needs. Moreover, when I passed the bridge several times, I found that the guide bridge roads at both ends were too straight. In this way, vehicles did not consider slowing down when getting on and off the bridge, which invisibly increased the burden on the bridge. Why not make up the determination to knock down and rebuild a high-standard and high-quality modern bridge, scientifically plan and rationally design to ensure smooth traffic between Jiangye and Wuxiang?"

You Dongming smiled embarrassedly and said nothing. Xuan Shuo had to pass the Fumin Bridge every now and then. He suffered from bumps in the bridge and was blocked from time to time. He always held the same view as Fang Sheng, and then said:

"The premiered County Mayor Lu mentioned reconstruction many times, but was rejected by the Standing Committee, because the construction period was too long, causing inconvenience in transportation."

"It's better to have a short pain than long pain," Fang Sheng heard that the Standing Committee was indeed a mountain pressing on the county magistrate's office meeting. Nothing could be done without its approval. The Standing Committee is essentially a reflection of Fei Yue's personal will. It is not easy to express his opinion too early in his identity, so he changed the topic and said, "Since we are here in Jiangye, be prepared to take root in Jiangye and do something practical for the local people! As the saying goes, the new official takes office for three reasons, and I plan to make a fuss about economic construction - Jiangye's economic growth rate and various economic indicators are not optimistic. If you go like Mount Tai, you will probably be surpassed by the Yellow Sea. It is good and bad news for me. We must abandon old ideas and ideas, and move forward bravely so that we will not fall behind in this round of economic development tide!"

Wu Yucai said sarcastically: "Please ask County Magistrate Fang for specific instructions." Who can't say anything empty and clichés? You have to take out some real skills and learn it.

Fang Sheng said: "The county government led by me will list a three-year plan, focusing on the ten major projects, including three industry, three agriculture, two commerce, and two urban construction. Please organize relevant departments to conduct research immediately and present a preliminary plan before the end of this month to submit it to the county magistrate's office meeting. The deputy county magistrates who are not involved should also actively prepare, because the ten major projects are just propaganda slogans, and we may actually carry out more than ten. Have you heard it clearly?"

After a while of silence, Yu Hongfei said resentfully: "We have done several similar plans. Every time we arrive at the Standing Committee, we are rejected. Sometimes we don't even have a reason. We are just busy. Investors have long been disappointed with Jiangye's investment environment. Even if there are sycamore trees, they cannot attract golden phoenixes."

Wu Yucai said: "I have to say a few words about this. The Standing Committee does not oppose the planning and vision of the official government, but many plans are not feasible at all, or they may invest repeatedly or waste extravagantly, which is definitely not possible..."

"The Standing Committee members just sit in the conference room and know whether the plan is feasible or not? They are all genius children." Yu Hongfei mocked.

Wu Yucai's face sank: "County Magistrate Yu, everyone sits here to discuss work, so they don't have any personal attacks."

Ning Shulu said with a close eye: "Yes, yes, say something."

"Anyway, the plan will be done, but the prospects are... very unoptimistic." Xuan Shuo said quietly.

Speaking of this, Fang Sheng had already seen that the deputy county magistrates were obviously divided into two factions. He nodded secretly and said, "County Magistrate Xuan is right. Everyone must make the plan perfect and pay special attention to the feasibility issue mentioned just now. As long as the county magistrate's office meeting unanimously passes it, the Standing Committee meeting and I and the Wu County magistrates will try our best to promote it. What does County magistrate Wu think?"

Wu Yucai was stunned and said, "Hey, agree with County Mayor Fang's opinion."

In the afternoon, Fang Sheng deliberately opened the office door and waited for someone to take the initiative to interview. However, he didn't see the figure from two o'clock to four o'clock. He couldn't help but doubt the call last night, thinking that Fei Yue was so powerful that he strictly controlled the clerks in the main palace? It should be noted that the second county magistrate had a very stubborn temper. After taking office, he quarreled with Fei Yue several times and then ordered the main government office to move out of the county government compound and rented a building to work alone, which weakened Fei Yue's influence on the main palace to a certain extent.

At four o'clock, someone finally came in timidly and whispered: "County Magistrate Fang, I'm here to apply for an interview..."

"Okay, please sit down quickly." Fang Sheng said with a smile.

Then four more people came, all of whom were senior clerks in various departments, with deep writing skills, familiarity with the official documents process of the official business of the government, and had an understanding of all aspects of Jiangye. Fang Sheng talked to everyone for about ten minutes, and then asked them to go back and wait for the notice politely and gentlely.

However, to be honest, Fang Sheng was not satisfied with the five people interviewed - it was not that he had obvious shortcomings, but that he did not belong to the type he really wanted.

After more than ten minutes apart, there were three interviews one after another, but it was still not ideal. Fang Sheng had already made the idea of ​​choosing one to be a secretary. Because this was a notice sent by himself at the conference, choosing a secretary himself. If he couldn't choose, he would be ridiculed as a farce.

Before getting off work, another person came, tall and thin, fair-skinned, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and looked like a weak scholar. His first words attracted Fang Sheng:

"County Magistrate Fang, my name is Jiang Lu. Like you, I am a college student village official!"

Fang Sheng smiled and said, "Oh, let me feel like seeing my relatives. Tell me about your situation in detail."

"I am from Jiangye. I graduated from Xiaonan University of Finance and Economics. I responded to the call of the Jiangye County Party Committee and became a college student village official five years ago. I went to Siyuan Town for three years. During this period, I took civil service examinations, public institution examinations, and bank recruitment examinations. I was either fetched by the written examination or passed the interview. Anyway... can County Mayor Fang understand the reason?"

Fang Sheng smiled: "Continue."

"The turning point happened at the end of last year. I had an article about township enterprises not being able to blindly develop the stainless steel industry. It was published in a national agricultural magazine. As a result, County Magistrate Lu saw it by chance and immediately decided to transfer me to the official office. Alas, for various reasons, County Magistrate Lu could not solve the problem of staffing, so my identity so far is still borrowed."

"Let me find that article."

"no problem."

"What do you think about the current economic development situation in Jiangye County?"

This topic is big and empty, as if it is boundless. Although the previous few people talked about it, they didn't grasp the key points. Jiang Lu thought about it slightly and then said:

"The crux of the problem lies in the conservative thinking of the county leadership!"

"Yeah, let's be more specific."

"I have studied the economic development models of Wuxiang counties and districts. First, the outward-oriented economy represented by Binfan County, with its main features being foreign-funded enterprises, incoming material processing and export industries; second, the industrial chain economy represented by Huanghai County, with its main features being scenic spot tourism, mid- and downstream supporting enterprises of wind power, and seafood processing; third, the traditional economic model of Jiangye County, mainly agriculture and agricultural and sideline products, including more than 20 vegetable bases and fruit gardens built around Wuxiang. Industrial development has basically stagnated, and urban construction is even more... There is a joke that is not a joke, saying that Jiangye County will be merged into Wuxiang, called Jiangye Town!"

"This joke is a bit cold." Fang Sheng sighed.

"At the beginning of the year, according to the requirements of County Mayor Lu, I specially wrote a research report of ten thousand words, and proposed seven development directions based on the current situation of Jiangye County. County Mayor Lu spent three days reading and revising it, and then submitted it to the Standing Committee, and then... there was nothing more..."

"I'll send the research report before getting off work. I'll finish it overnight," Fang Sheng said this and asked again, "What are the difficulties you have to solve in the organization?"

Jiang Lu didn't expect him to ask this question, and was stunned for a while before saying, "It would be great if my staffing problem could be solved. Others... My wife is a nurse in a Chinese medicine hospital. My child is in kindergarten this year. His family is still well-off and there is no difficulty."

"Okay, go back and prepare, and you will be my secretary from tomorrow!"

"Ah, this...is that decided?"

Fang Sheng smiled and said, "I decided, I'll make the decision of my secretary. Come on, send the research report and that article."

"yes!"

Jiang Lu responded loudly and ran out of the office in a hurry.

At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Director Su of the Municipal Party Committee Office called and informed that the county standing committee meeting be held at 8:30 tomorrow morning, and that leave is not allowed without special circumstances.

Fang Sheng smiled knowingly.

Fei Yue shouldn't sit still if he has three consecutive moves. Tomorrow's Standing Committee probably sets rules for himself, draws circles, and does things within the scope designated by Fei Yue, otherwise both parties will have to break up.

At around 11 o'clock in the evening, I suddenly received a call from Ye Yun and said only three words:

"I am coming."

Fang Sheng answered simpler: "Okay." Then he hung up the phone.
Chapter completed!
