97: Reporting work to county leaders

After seeing off Wang Zhenfa and his group, Lin Zifeng held a short meeting with the team members to arrange the recent work. Finally, he smiled and said, "Comrades, we are going to be busy from now on."

"However, I know that for me and for you, Comrades, this kind of busyness is happy and fulfilling."

"But the Town Mayor and I still have an important task to complete together."

"Before, in order to ensure the investment could successfully land in Heping Town, we haven't reported our work progress to the County Leader yet!"

"The events happening in Heping Town will soon spread rapidly."

"Before this news reaches the ears of the County Leader, the Town Mayor and I should take the initiative to go to the County and report our work!"

"Otherwise, if we get labeled with the big accusation of being disrespectful to the County Leader, forming small cliques, or building our own power base, none of us here can afford to bear that!"

"I thought you, Secretary, were so happy that you'd forgotten about this! But I'm not afraid. If the sky falls, you, the tall one, will hold it up! At worst, we'll just be labeled as the bandits under the mountain king."

Wei Ting joked with a relaxed expression, and everyone laughed happily.

The reason they were like this was that they knew they had achieved such great results; the County Leader would be too happy to be displeased, so why would he label them and dampen their enthusiasm?

"Town Mayor, that metaphor is a bit inappropriate. If the Secretary is the mountain king, then you are the mountain king's wife. If your partner heard that, wouldn't he come looking for trouble with our Secretary?"

Zhang Zhenhua said this with a straight face, then started laughing himself. Everyone burst into laughter once again.

"It's truly rare for someone as serious as Secretary Zhang to crack a joke. Be careful, or I'll call your wife and report your bad behavior, making sure you can't get through your front door when you go home. I'm the one in charge at my house, and my partner wouldn't dare find trouble with me, but I don't know if Secretary Zhang can handle his wife."

Wei Ting retorted without showing weakness.

"Don't, Town Mayor, you can't joke about that. Everyone knows I respect my wife. If you really play dirty tricks on me, I might really not be able to go home. I surrender, okay?"

As Zhang Zhenhua spoke, he made a gesture of surrender, which made everyone roar with laughter again.

Seeing the atmosphere before him, Lin Zifeng and everyone else felt very happy.

Everyone chatted and laughed as they left the conference room. Lin Zifeng and Wei Ting did not take the same car; they left the government compound in two separate vehicles and headed towards the county town.

During this time, they had been eating and living in the town. They could take the opportunity of going to the County to report work to go home and visit. Since they weren't going the same way, it was more convenient for them to take their own cars back to Heping Town tomorrow.

Although Lin Zifeng had always advocated against extravagance and waste, he would not make a fuss over such trivial matters.

Whether in work or life, one cannot be absolute; otherwise, one would isolate oneself from the rest of the world.

The two cars drove into the County Committee Compound one after the other. Lin Zifeng had already made an appointment with the secretaries of Wan Guoliang and others via mobile phone in advance.

So, after getting out of the car, the two walked towards Wan Guoliang's Office together.

A few minutes later, the two sat in Wan Guoliang's Office. After the Secretary poured the water, he left the Office.

The two exchanged glances, and Lin Zifeng began to report their work to Wan Guoliang.

Hearing the work situation he reported one after another during this period, Wan Guoliang's eyes gradually lit up, and he couldn't help but smile.

Lin Zifeng finally stated, "Secretary, after the joint efforts of our team members during this period, we have signed a total of five investment contracts with Investors. The total investment amount has reached 120 million. There will be three factories and one Multifunctional Hotel landing in Heping Town. The tourism development project will also start construction in the near future."

"Hahaha, you Heping Town folks are amazing! This is like launching a satellite in our Yushu County! Your confidentiality work is really well done! You were all able to keep your cool; were you afraid that some people might have ulterior motives?"

Wan Guoliang laughed happily, stood up, and took the initiative to reach out his hand to the two.

"Secretary, we aren't that petty. It's just that we've been too busy these past few days and haven't had a moment of spare time. Reporting to you over the phone felt a bit informal. Our Secretary Lin and I just saw off the Investors this morning, and we came here without delay to report to you in person, didn't we?"

Wei Ting said with a smile.

"Good! The 120 million investment not only gives Heping Town wings to take off but will also greatly boost the GDP of our Yushu County. I am very satisfied with your work; you have set an example for other township Cadres! I want to express my gratitude for your hard work on behalf of the County Party Committee and County Government."

Wan Guoliang was extremely happy. He had just taken Office in Yushu County less than two months ago, and Heping Town had brought him such a big surprise; how could he not be happy? This was also his political achievement!

"Secretary, this is also the result of the strong support from you and the other County Leaders for Heping Town. If there were no policy support, even if we had the intention, we wouldn't have the strength!"

Lin Zifeng still understood social nuances; this was the time to push the credit onto the leaders.

"Secretary Lin is right. Secretary, our success in Heping Town could not have happened without the support and guidance from you and the other County Leaders. We came here today, firstly to report our work to you, and secondly to invite you to attend the groundbreaking and ribbon-cutting ceremony."

Wei Ting continued.

"Secretary, you must attend the groundbreaking and ribbon-cutting ceremony! If a big Buddha like you doesn't show up, we won't be able to handle the situation!"

Lin Zifeng also said with a smile.

Hearing their invitation, Wan Guoliang was even happier.

"Good, good, good, I will definitely be there. In addition, I will try to contact an important leader in the City Level to see if the leader has time to attend the groundbreaking and ribbon-cutting ceremony in Heping Town. Although I dare not guarantee it to you, as long as the leader's schedule permits, I have a high degree of confidence that I can invite this leader over."

Wan Guoliang said, his face glowing with radiance.

Hearing what Wan Guoliang said, the two were naturally very happy and thanked Wan Guoliang repeatedly!

More than an hour later, the two walked out of Wan Guoliang's Office.

Wan Guoliang walked them all the way to the stairwell before stopping.

Other township Secretaries and Town Mayors did not receive such treatment; even those deputy section-level deputies in the County would not make Wan Guoliang do this. It is evident what kind of status the two now have in Wan Guoliang's heart.

After leaving Wan Guoliang's Office, they came to Qian Dagang's Office.

More than half an hour later, Qian Dagang, with a face full of smiles, saw the two off at his Office, his mouth almost reaching his ears with joy. He invited the two to have lunch together, but they politely declined.

Qian Dagang knew that they still had to report their work to other leaders, so he did not insist.
