303: The Governor's Visit

"Secretary, should we invite some popular stars to help with the celebration for the County-to-city conversion?"

After reporting on the work related to the celebration, Ouyang Huahua, the Head of the Organization Department, couldn't help but ask for instructions.

"Invite popular stars? Their appearance fees are no small amount! Let's drop this proposal."

"Let's stick to our own conditions and celebrate with the people of the whole county!"

"Besides, didn't you mention in your report just now? Minister Zhang of the Municipal Propaganda Department will send the Municipal Song and Dance Troupe to participate in the celebration and will also attend in person."

"With our local programs added, it will be enough to support the performance segment of the celebration."

Lin Zifeng said with a slight smile.

"The Secretary is as thrifty and pragmatic as ever! It seems I still have a lot to learn from you in this regard."

Ouyang Huahua said with a face full of smiles.

Ouyang Huahua left after finishing her report; due to the tight schedule, she still had a lot of work to arrange personally.

Not long after Ouyang Huahua left, Zhao Delin, accompanied by Wang Zhongyu, knocked and walked in.

After Wang Zhongyu left, Zhao Delin said, "Secretary, all the reception work has been prepared."

"At that time, Governor Zhao Laifu, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Chen Yuanhua, and Comrade Liu Jiasheng, the Head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, will all visit our Yushu County."

"With so many Municipal Party Committee leaders arriving, the reception standard is quite high. I'm afraid of even the slightest oversight. I wonder if the Secretary has any other instructions?"

"Reception work is indeed very important; every detail must be arranged properly."

"But the top priority is still security work. The County Public Security Bureau must be arranged to complete this task well."

Lin Zifeng said with a serious expression.

"Please rest assured, Secretary. I know the importance of this work, so I have already discussed and arranged it with Director Zhu in advance."

Zhao Delin quickly replied.

A few days passed in a flash, and soon the day of the celebration arrived.

Early that morning, Lin Zifeng had breakfast with The two sisters and the two children. Dressed in a proper navy blue suit, he prepared to head out to the guesthouse.

This was because the three leaders from the Provincial Party Committee, along with a group of Municipal Leaders, had arrived in Yushu County the previous night.

"Hubby, when the celebration starts, my sister and I will also attend. We have been invited as representatives of the Yingjianzui Scenic Area."

Chen Yuxi said gently while straightening his suit.

"This is a very memorable day for Yushu County—no, it should be called Yushu City now."

"For Yushu City and for you, it is definitely a rare and joyous day. Both Yuxi and I are happy for you."

"We want to be there to witness this important moment."

Chen Yuqing said with a face full of smiles.

"The temperature outside is low; remember to wear more clothes so you don't catch a cold."

"Let Haotian stay at home; don't take him to the venue."

Lin Zifeng instructed carefully.

"Got it, go on and get busy with your work!"

"Our father is one thing, he's family, but the Governor and the Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister are different; you must receive them with great care."

"On the path of an official career, besides working hard, receiving superior leaders well and leaving a good impression on them is also essential."

Chen Yuxi said.

"Yuxi is right. I think you understand the reasoning behind this, so I won't say more."

"I contacted Dad yesterday. He will stay another night to come and see Haotian."

"He will come over for dinner tonight, and our family can have a good gathering then."

"Dad also instructed to invite Uncle, Aunt, and Xiao Yuan over for dinner."

"Given Dad's status, eating out is inconvenient, so Yuxi and I will cook dinner at home."

Chen Yuqing said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll find some time to call my parents in a bit."

Lin Zifeng agreed and turned to walk out of the house.

A few minutes later, Lin Zifeng arrived at the County Party Committee Guesthouse by car.

At this moment, Xu Minghao was already waiting in the lobby of the guesthouse. Seeing Lin Zifeng walk in, he quickly rose to greet him.

"Secretary, you're here? It's still early, and the leaders haven't woken up yet! Let's sit and wait for a while."

Lin Zifeng nodded with a smile and sat down in the lobby seats with Xu Minghao.

"County Magistrate, as representatives, you and I are responsible for hosting the leaders at the guesthouse. After accompanying them for breakfast, according to the plan, we will accompany them to the County Committee Compound for the Plaque-unveiling ceremony."

"Secretary, I just contacted Secretary Wei."

"The other County Party Standing Committee Members are already waiting at the County Committee Compound. The preparations for the Plaque-unveiling ceremony are all set. Once we bring the leaders over, we can start immediately."

"To tell you the truth, Secretary, if possible, I wouldn't want to stay here to accompany the leaders."

"Facing so many big leaders always makes me feel like I'm walking on thin ice; it makes me feel very uneasy."

Xu Minghao said in a low voice.

"County Magistrate, you shouldn't think like that. Others would love to have the chance to get close to the leaders!"

"If you want to advance, these things are essential."

The two talked in low voices while waiting for the leaders to come downstairs.

More than ten minutes later, the three leaders from the Provincial Level, accompanied by Municipal Leaders and staff, came downstairs in a grand manner.

Lin Zifeng and Xu Minghao quickly stood up and stepped forward to greet them.

Due to the large number of people, the two nodded with smiles and, after greeting everyone, followed along beside them toward the dining hall.

"Secretary Cao, your Chunhua City has developed well in all aspects over the past two years!"

"Yushu County has become the second county in our province to enter the Top 100 Counties, and Heping Town in Yushu County has even become the number one among the Province's Top 10 Towns."

"Yushu County is about to undergo the County-to-city conversion. It's truly hard to imagine that a poor county could become an economically strong county in just a few short years."

"You should summarize your work experience to better promote it across the board."

Governor Zhao Laifu sat at the dining table and said while looking at Cao Mingxiu.

"Governor, the rapid development of Yushu County in recent years is thanks to its united and enterprising leadership team."

"Our Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have boldly appointed young and outstanding Cadres. The average age of the Yushu County leadership team is only thirty-six."

"The County Party Secretary, Comrade Lin Zifeng, is only twenty-eight years old."

"Although young Cadres have the weakness of lacking work experience, they also have the tenacity to dare to fight and struggle in their work."

"In recent years, the Cadres in our city have become increasingly younger, and our city pays more attention to the cultivation of young Cadres."

"Boldly cultivating, promoting, and utilizing young Cadres is an important factor in the rapid development of our city in all aspects."

Cao Mingxiu explained with a smile.

Hearing Cao Mingxiu's account, Zhao Laifu nodded with a smile and said, "Comrade Lin Zifeng is the youngest County Party Secretary in our province."

"When I first met Comrade Lin Zifeng yesterday, I couldn't help but marvel at how young and promising he is."

"The organizational work in your Chunhua City has been carried out excellently."

Hearing Zhao Laifu's praise for Chunhua City's organizational work, the leaders of Chunhua City were all smiles, especially Zhu Jiahua, the Head of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee.
