Nominal: Intercepting Zhong Xiaoai, Dominating Handong

"You can prepare a short speech to talk about your thoughts on county-level economic development, especially the issue of sustainable development after poverty alleviation."

"Leaders all like cadres who have their own ideas."

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher!" Gu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"And Qi Tongwei..." Gao Yuliang seemed quite happy.

"He works very hard and hasn't lost his dedication. I heard he made a contribution in the fight against drugs."

Gu Mingyuan was also quite happy: "Qi Tongwei still has ambition."

"Yes, it's good that we haven't fallen into depravity," Gao Yuliang said.

"Mingyuan, you must walk the right path."

"The officialdom is full of temptations and traps, but only by following the right path can one go far and steadily."

"The students will always keep the teacher's teachings in mind."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Mingyuan smiled.

Although Qi Tongwei knelt down, he did his job well in the fight against drugs, which is commendable.

On July 4th, the preparatory work entered the detailed stage.

Gu Mingyuan listened to reports from various working groups in the county party committee meeting room.

The reception team reported: "Secretary Gu, as per your request, we have conducted a safety inspection and necessary maintenance of the county party committee guesthouse."

"The room furniture has been repainted, all the bedding has been cleaned and disinfected, and for catering, a menu of four dishes and one soup has been prepared, all using local ingredients."

"Okay." Gu Mingyuan nodded.

"The menu should be simple, but the ingredients should be fresh."

"Liping's free-range chickens, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and wild vegetables are all local specialties. Let the leaders try our farm-style dishes."

"The unique features of Liping are absolutely no less impressive than those in big cities!"

The security team reported: "We have developed a traffic management plan, which will not involve road closures or clearing of the area, but will only increase police presence on key sections. At the same time, we have developed an emergency response plan to ensure everything goes smoothly."

"What about the work for ordinary people?" Gu Mingyuan asked.

"We have already explained the situation to the people through various townships and communities."

"Everyone is very supportive and has said they will cooperate."

"That's good," Gu Mingyuan said with satisfaction.

"The purpose of holding this conference is for development, and development is for the benefit of the people."

"Once the people understand and support it, the work becomes much easier."

The inspection team reported: "Three routes have been finalized, and the guides at each stop have undergone training."

"As you requested, we will discuss the achievements, the problems, and the solutions."

"The explanations should be practical, not empty words or clichés," Gu Mingyuan emphasized.

"The data must be accurate, and the examples must be vivid, so that leaders can understand and remember them."

The materials team reported: "The meeting materials are ready, including a report on the economic and social development of Liping County, materials on typical experiences, a list of problems and suggestions for solutions."

"The problem list must be accurate," Gu Mingyuan emphasized.

"We cannot downplay the important issues, nor can we be vague in our statements."

"We need to clearly write down what difficulties we are currently facing and how we plan to solve them."

The meeting lasted until noon.

After the meeting, Gu Mingyuan returned to his office and saw a fax from Zhong Zhengguo.

It was just a few words: "Mingyuan, this meeting is both an opportunity and a test. Remember: be realistic and pragmatic, and you will succeed in the end. (Father)"

Gu Mingyuan carefully put away the fax, a warm feeling welling up in his heart.

My father-in-law continued to pay attention to me, always offering reminders and support at crucial moments.

In the afternoon, Gu Mingyuan decided to go and check out a few more key locations.

Our first stop was the tea plantation in Yunwu Township.

In the height of summer, the tea gardens are lush and green, and tea farmers are picking summer tea.

When Wang Dashan saw Gu Mingyuan arrive, he quickly went to greet him: "Secretary Gu, you're here again!"

"Let's check on the preparations." Gu Mingyuan walked into the tea garden.

"Old Wang, the provincial leaders are here. How are you going to introduce them?"

Wang Dashan was confident this time: "Secretary Gu, as you instructed, I have prepared three parts: First, the development of the industry. The total tea garden area in the township is 5,000 mu, with 1,200 participating households. Last year, the total income from tea was 18 million yuan, with an average increase of 15,000 yuan per household."

"Secondly, there are problems, mainly insufficient deep processing and inadequate brand influence."

"Thirdly, our next steps include building a tea processing plant, developing new products, and creating a regional brand."

"Good!" Gu Mingyuan praised.

"The data is accurate, the problems are real, and the thinking is clear. That's all there is to it."

"But Secretary Gu..." Wang Dashan hesitated for a moment.

"Would it make us look like we haven't done our job well if I said that?"

"Quite the opposite," Gu Mingyuan said seriously. "Being able to identify problems shows that you are thinking."

"The fact that you have a solution shows that you are making an effort."

"This is more valuable than just talking about grades."

The second stop was the industrial park.

Several companies that have moved in are installing equipment, creating a busy scene.

The industrial park manager reported: "Secretary Gu, all eight companies have moved in, and 70% of the equipment installation is complete. We expect all companies to be in operation by the end of August. Once operational, the annual output value will reach 200 million yuan, providing 500 jobs."

"What about the farmers who benefited?" Gu Mingyuan asked.

"By adopting the company + cooperative + farmer model, we have benefited more than 3,000 households in five surrounding townships, with an estimated annual increase in income of 8,000 yuan per household."

"Okay." Gu Mingyuan nodded.

"When introducing this model, we should highlight it. It is a unique feature and a highlight of Liping."

The third stop was the newly built Liping Third Primary School.

The brand-new teaching building stands in the sunlight, and the sound of students reading aloud comes from the classrooms.

The principal explained, "The school opened this spring and currently has 600 students, mainly children of migrant workers and children from surrounding rural areas."

"We have equipped ourselves with multimedia classrooms and a library, and our facilities are among the best in the county."

"What about the teaching staff?" Gu Mingyuan asked with concern.

"Through county-wide allocation and open recruitment, we have filled all the required positions with teachers for each subject."

"We also collaborate with the provincial capital's normal school to provide regular teacher training."

Gu Mingyuan walked into a classroom where children were having class.

Upon seeing the county party secretary arrive, the children greeted him in unison.

"Hello, students," Gu Mingyuan asked with a smile.

Do you like your new school?

"We love it!" the children answered loudly.

"Study hard so you can contribute to your hometown when you grow up."

"good!"

After leaving the school, Gu Mingyuan said to his entourage, "Education is fundamental, and this must be demonstrated well."

"Let the leaders see that Liping not only focuses on the economy, but also on people's livelihood."

"We should not only look at the present, but also plan for the future."

Back at the county committee in the evening, Gu Mingyuan convened a meeting of the preparatory group to summarize the day's events.

"Overall, the preparations are good, but there are still a few details to pay attention to," Gu Mingyuan said.

"First, environmental sanitation needs to be further improved, especially in back streets and alleys."

"Secondly, the time control at each location must be precise, and the time limit must not be exceeded."

"Third, the tour guide's speaking speed should be moderate, not too fast."

He paused for a moment: "Most importantly, everyone involved must understand that we are not performing, but reporting. We must be authentic, natural, and sincere."

On July 5th, Pei Yihong called again.
