60: Do you have any thoughts about the position of Party Secretary?

Hearing the question Zhao Delin asked, Lin Zifeng already had a contingency plan in mind, so he said without hesitation, "Thank you, Secretary-General, for recognizing our work plan.

We had already considered the issue you raised.

It's unrealistic to rely entirely on the county's financial support.

In ten days, a large Trade-Fair Venue led by our Provincial Development and Reform Commission will be held in the provincial capital. I plan to take some people to the Trade-Fair Venue to try our luck.

I believe that as long as we approach it with sincerity, showcase our advantages, and highlight our various preferential policies, we will definitely achieve something.

Other units attending the Trade-Fair Venue will focus on large investments exceeding 100 million yuan.

We're not afraid of small investments, as long as they align with the development of Heping Town. Even if we just bring back a little 'soup and water,' it will be enough to sustain Heping Town."

Hearing his reply, Wan Guoliang smiled and said, "You, Town Mayor Lin, are truly a newborn calf unafraid of the tiger! You even want a piece of the pie at the Trade-Fair Venue organized by the Provincial Development and Reform Commission?

Even in our Chunhua City, not many units dare to have such an idea.

The main thing is the fear of returning empty-handed and losing face!

Aren't you afraid of gaining nothing and being criticized by others?"

"Secretary, as the Town Mayor of Heping Town, I must be responsible for Heping Town's development. As long as it can bring a good life to the common people, whether I lose face or not is not within my consideration.

If I, Lin Zifeng, lose a lot of face but can develop Heping Town's economy, I am willing to do so."

He said with firm eyes.

"Good, this spirit of yours is truly commendable. Even if you genuinely gain nothing and make a fruitless trip, it doesn't matter; your courage has already surpassed many others. I fully support you.

When I leave, give me your tourism development plan. I'll go back and study it carefully."

Wan Guoliang said very happily.

"Thank you for your support, Secretary. I also need to report something to you. Regarding the tourism development plan, I only provided a general direction.

Other work, such as on-site inspections and location scouting, data collection, photo and video materials, and the completion of the plan, were all carried out by our town's Propaganda Committee Member, Comrade Jiang Yufei, and her team."

Wan Guoliang had known Jiang Yufei for a long time, but he merely pretended not to know her in front of everyone.

So, after hearing his report, Wan Guoliang looked at Comrade Jiang Yufei and said gently, "Comrade Jiang Yufei, though as young as our Town Mayor Lin, is also a heroine who can hold her own against men!

Then I'll trouble Comrade Jiang Yufei to remember to send the plan to me later."

"Thank you for your praise, Secretary. This is what I should do."

Jiang Yufei glanced at Lin Zifeng and quickly said with a smile.

The others looked at Jiang Yufei with eyes full of envy.

Finally, Wan Guoliang fully affirmed Heping Town's work and expressed earnest expectations for future endeavors.

The meeting then concluded, and Wan Guoliang, accompanied by everyone, began his inspection of Heping Town.

His first stop was Qianshan Village, where he personally inspected over a thousand mu of peach orchards.

After lunch, he visited the Town Primary School, which was under construction, and the concurrently started Grand Market.

He also visited several impoverished households until sunset, when the group returned to the Town Government.

Wan Guoliang politely declined Lin Zifeng's invitation to stay for dinner, took the plan from Jiang Yufei, and prepared to leave.

Lin Zifeng hesitated, then broke away from the crowd and chased after him.

Wan Guoliang stopped and asked, puzzled, "Is there something else, Town Mayor Zifeng?"

After nearly a day of interaction, Wan Guoliang had changed his address from Town Mayor Lin to Town Mayor Zifeng, making it more intimate.

"Secretary, I'd like to ask when our town's Secretary and Deputy Secretary will be confirmed?

The absence of two leaders will still have some impact on our town's work."

He asked the question that concerned him.

"I see that Heping Town's work, under your leadership as Town Mayor, is progressing in an orderly manner, isn't it?

Do you, perhaps, have designs on the Secretary position?"

Wan Guoliang said with a playful expression.

"Secretary, please don't misunderstand. If I had any designs, I wouldn't ask you directly. I still have that much discretion and patience.

Isn't it true that I'm going to the provincial capital for the Trade-Fair Venue in ten days?

If I, the Town Mayor, leave, and the town has neither a Secretary nor a Deputy Secretary, what if an emergency occurs? There wouldn't even be anyone in charge, and I'm afraid it would affect the work."

He expressed his true thoughts.

"So that's what you were thinking about! Don't worry, it won't delay your trip to the provincial capital for the recruitment fair.

The office already issued a notice yesterday. The Standing Committee will convene the day after tomorrow, which is this Thursday. The issue you're concerned about will have a result then."

Wan Guoliang did not hide it from him and directly told him about the matter.

Lin Zifeng thanked him while quickly opening the rear car door. After Wan Guoliang got in, he closed the door and watched the three cars gradually drive away. Only then did he retract his gaze and turn to walk towards the others.

When he reached the crowd, before he could speak, Zhang Zhenhua smiled and said, "Town Mayor is truly full of hidden depths!

I didn't expect that in such a short time since taking office, you've already made such a perfect plan for the future development of our town.

If everything can truly be realized according to the Town Mayor's plan, our Heping Town will achieve leapfrog development and completely shed its poor label."

"Secretary Zhang is right. Our Town Mayor and Committee Member Jiang are truly working on big things in silence!

The work report given by the Town Mayor today not only greatly surprised Secretary Wan, but even us colleagues were shocked!"

Jia Chunsheng, the Political and Legal Committee Member, also chimed in, agreeing.

"I merely provided an idea. The work of Heping Town requires all of us to work together.

Only when we think with one mind and exert ourselves in one direction can we develop Heping Town better."

Lin Zifeng said with a chuckle. His unspoken message was that if achievements were made in the future, everyone's contributions would be indispensable.

He wouldn't cast everyone aside and monopolize the political achievements with Jiang Yufei. Everyone would have a share, provided that everyone contributed their effort to the work.

The reason he said this was because he detected a hint of sourness in their words.

Upon hearing his reply, everyone broke into genuine smiles and spoke up, expressing that they would fully support his work and absolutely not hinder it.

The group chatted at the entrance for more than ten minutes before reluctantly dispersing.

Since it was already quitting time, staff members occasionally passed by the entrance, greeting them one by one, which made them feel a bit uncomfortable.
