Chapter 591 Welcome Ceremony
Throughout the morning, Lin Xiaohe's office was bustling with people coming and going.

During her lunch break, provincial and municipal government leaders called Lin Xiaohe to ask if she needed city leaders to be present at the afternoon's welcome ceremony.

Lin Xiaohe was moved but refused.

At 2 p.m., dark clouds rolled in, and after a clap of thunder, raindrops the size of beans began to pelt down.

In the district government meeting hall, everyone welcomed Lin Xiaohe with thunderous applause as he delivered his latest instructions.

This time, everyone's eyes were clear, expectant, and reverent.

Without scrutiny, curiosity, or disdain, they simply watched the spectacle.

Everyone knows that the newcomer to the forest area is no pushover. She might not remember what contributions you made, but she'll definitely remember what trouble you caused.

Therefore, even if it's just an act, you have to pretend to be absolutely supportive.

Lin Xiaohe sat steadily on the podium, adjusted the height of the microphone, and spoke in a calm voice, without a trace of tension or the air of tension that suggested a confrontation.

"Comrades, the Party Secretary just announced the organization's decision, conveying the Provincial Party Committee's earnest expectations and strategic intentions. I feel deeply honored by this mission, and even more so by the immense responsibility. At this moment, what I feel most is..."

Lin Xiaohe frowned, tossed her speech aside, and laughed, "Alright, let's not talk about these formalities. Some of the faces in the audience are people I've met before, and some I haven't, but I believe that every one of you should recognize me."

Uh……

Everyone's eyelids twitched. Good heavens, this is not playing by the rules. Could it be that the forest area is going to cause trouble again?

Li Bo, from the secretariat, gripped his pen tightly, looked straight ahead, straightened his back, and concentrated on recording Lin Xiaohe's speech.

The secretariat's prepared speech was rejected by the forestry department, which is a big challenge for me.

To become a capable assistant in the forest area, you need to keep up with the pace of others.

Careless.

Lin Xiaohe spoke casually, as if chatting idly: "Through in-depth conversations with many comrades, I have gained a deeper understanding of the predicament of our Tienan District."

Lin Xiaohe sighed deeply: "I've looked at our financial statements. There's no surplus money, it's all debt. To put it bluntly, our district government is borrowing money to get by. Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. Even in an ordinary family, you can't get anything done without money."

Lin Xiaohe spread his hands: "That's the situation. Asking our comrades to share the difficulties of the Tie Nan District when we don't have any money is putting everyone in a difficult position."

The leader raised an eyebrow, and Zhang Mingde stared wide-eyed in surprise.

The others felt a pang of jealousy.

Isn't that how it is? Back in the day, Tienan District was so prestigious. When we went to the city for meetings, Tienan District always took the top spot.

But now, when people from the district go to meetings in the city or province, it's like a poor relative trying to freeload off someone, making people want to avoid them at all costs.

Is this what they wanted? No, it's the objective environment that has constrained the development of the Tienan District.

Lin Xiaohe said very sincerely, "Before I came here, I had a lot of complaints about the district. I loved it so much that I was so critical of it! I was thinking, how did such a good district end up like this? Is it because you didn't do your job? Did you make a mistake?"

The leader squinted and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

The others were on tenterhooks. Here it comes, here it comes! The forest area's show of force is about to begin!
Lin Xiaohe's gaze was distant, as if she was recalling something: "The organization trusted me, which is why they sent me here. I thought to myself, I can't let down the organization's trust, I can't let down my comrades' expectations. I want to see for myself what the situation is really like in the Tie Nan District."

She chuckled: "Call me young and impetuous, call me a hothead, I've seen the real little corner of the Tie Nan District."

The laughter died down; their hearts felt like they were being squeezed tightly by a giant hand, ready to burst at any moment. Lin Xiaohe's upturned lips turned down, her brows furrowed, and her voice was heavy with sorrow as she said, "Life isn't easy for the workers. Those selling vegetables, running small businesses, doing odd jobs—everyone is trying their best to survive. To be honest, seeing them toiling in the cold wind, earning only meager wages to make ends meet, makes my heart ache."

"What moved me even more was their genuine trust in the country and in us. I once asked a retired old man, 'The factory can't pay your pension or reimburse your medical expenses, how do you survive?'"

"The old man said that even the most diligent sparrows will not starve, and things are much better now than in the years of famine."

"I asked again, 'You've contributed to the factory for decades, and now the factory doesn't care about you anymore. Don't you resent it?'"

“The old man said that the factory isn’t neglecting me, it’s just that it’s unable to. Once the factory resumes operations and things improve, they will continue to take care of me.”

The room fell silent after those words were spoken.

Based on the experience of several factories that were acquired by management, this means they really won't be involved anymore.

The district didn't have the money, so naturally they couldn't take it over.

Lin Xiaohe's eyes were filled with sorrow, and her voice trembled: "Comrades, those in positions of power must fulfill their responsibilities. We are carrying the weight of hundreds of thousands of families on our shoulders; they are living, breathing people, not just numbers."

Whether it was true or false, everyone in the conference room was deeply moved and lowered their heads in shame.

Lin Xiaohe took a deep breath, paused for five seconds, and said calmly, "As I said before, objective reasons have made it difficult for everyone to carry out their work, and that's not your fault. Facts have proven that as long as the conditions are right, there are still comrades who can take the initiative to do their jobs well."

She specifically mentioned Ma Jianjun: "Director Ma of the Industrial Bureau proposed optimizing land use, which is excellent. Director Ma, don't have any concerns. The district is your strong support. Go ahead and conduct your research. I'm waiting for your report."

Director Ma was both excited and nervous. Good heavens, was the defection going so well?!

Lin Xiaohe looked gently at the director of the Finance Bureau: "It's hardest to manage a poor household. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work, it's all for the people!"

Lin Xiaohe: "I am very optimistic about your plan to build an industrial park to support LCD TVs. You are taking this seriously. The future of Changhong's factory is not limited to home appliances; the supporting factories have a very promising future!"

"Yes, sir!"

Lin Xiaohe looked at Zhao Tiesheng: "One person's plan is short-sighted, but three people's plans are long-sighted. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. If you have any ideas, just bring them up. Whether they are feasible or not, we can discuss and decide together. Director Zhao's suggestion to strengthen skills training for laid-off workers is a very good suggestion. It not only provides laid-off workers with options but also alleviates the labor pressure on enterprises."

The audience's eyes were wide open, eager to participate.

Although the newly arrived forestry district is a bit assertive, they really encourage open discussion!

Zhang Mingde, sitting in the first row, stole a glance at the top leader. The top leader had a kind and gratified smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

Zhang Mingde lowered his eyes, once again changing his perception of Lin Xiaohe.

I thought she was a reckless person, but I never expected that during a meeting, she would use a combination of threats and slaps, and everyone would be manipulated by her emotions like puppets on strings.

Zhang Mingde sighed inwardly. All his years of cultivating relationships within the district couldn't compare to Lin Xiaohe's two meetings. It seemed his attempts to isolate or flatter her to her detrimental effect were now futile.

The dregs from the Chinese medicine were forgotten to be disposed of, and they've gone moldy...

Is it still safe to use the pot for boiling medicine? I always feel like it's never cleaned properly.

I learned a new term: fungal pneumonia.

I was anxious about this for half an hour, so I immediately took a shower and rinsed my nose with saline solution. I hope I haven't caught it!!
