Nominal: Intercepting Zhong Xiaoai, Dominating Handong

He surveyed the entire audience: "Starting today, the whole county will launch a 'Three Looks and Three Comparisons' campaign: first, look at achievements and compare shortcomings; second, look at the current situation and compare with goals; and third, look at ourselves and compare with advanced practices."

"Every township and every department must identify gaps, formulate measures, and ensure their implementation."

"The event brought us both opportunities and challenges."

"Opportunities arise from increased attention, support, and opportunities."

"The challenges are higher requirements, greater pressure, and stricter supervision."

"We must seize opportunities and meet challenges, instead of resting on our laurels!"

Gu Mingyuan spoke for forty minutes, without a single empty word or platitude; it was all concrete requirements and plans.

After the meeting, the cadres discussed the matter animatedly.

"Secretary Gu is right, we need to stay clear-headed."

"Yes, once the meeting is held, the whole province is watching. It would be really embarrassing if we didn't do a good job."

"With Secretary Gu leading the way, if we work hard, Liping will definitely succeed!"

On July 26, the Pingzhou Municipal Party Committee held a Standing Committee meeting to specifically study supporting the development of Liping.

Party Secretary Chen Wenzhe presided over the meeting: "Comrades, the provincial on-site meeting on county-level economy was successfully held in Liping. Secretary Liu Huanzhang and Governor Qiu Long gave it high praise. This is an honor for Liping and also for Pingzhou."

"Today's meeting is to discuss how to support Liping's accelerated development and how to turn Liping's speed into Pingzhou's experience."

He looked at the Organization Minister: "Let's talk about building up the cadre team first."

"Comrade Gu Mingyuan has demonstrated outstanding performance and has been praised by provincial leaders on multiple occasions. What is the attitude of the municipal organization department?"

The Organization Minister opened the folder: "Secretary Chen, members of the Standing Committee, based on the investigation, Comrade Gu Mingyuan is politically steadfast, highly capable, has a solid work style, and is widely recognized by the masses."

"The Municipal Organization Department recommends that he be awarded a commendation and that the commendation be publicly announced throughout the city."

"I agree," Chen Wenzhe nodded.

"Comrade Gu Mingyuan is doing a great job in Liping, and we should give him more support."

"My suggestion is to designate Liping as a pilot county for the city's county-level economic development and grant it more autonomy."

"Also, the Municipal Organization Department is going to review the list of recommended outstanding county party secretaries for this year."

"Although Comrade Gu Mingyuan is still relatively inexperienced, his ambition is not limited by his age. We have always been committed to selecting the most capable and virtuous."

These words shocked the Standing Committee members. It was clear that Chen Wenzhe, the municipal party secretary, was setting the tone for recommending Gu Mingyuan as an outstanding county party secretary nationwide.

It's incredible that someone so young has received such an honor.

Moreover, it is quite obvious that Chen Wenzhe's meaning is the meaning of certain leaders in the provincial party committee; otherwise, Chen Wenzhe would not have dared to mention this point.

Upon hearing this, the city's organization minister immediately agreed: "Yes, Secretary Chen! We will expedite the study! We must not overlook our outstanding county party secretary."

Executive Vice Mayor Wu Wenhua also suggested, "Secretary Chen, I recommend that the city establish a leading group to support the development of Liping, with you as the group leader, to coordinate the support from various departments for Liping."

"Okay!" Chen Wenzhe slammed his hand on the table.

"It's settled then."

Wu Wenhua's suggestion hit the nail on the head for Chen Wenzhe. Chen Wenzhe gave Wu Wenhua a deep look and then continued.

"In addition, the municipal finance allocates special funds every year to support infrastructure and people's livelihood construction in Liping."

"Each department should introduce specific support measures and report them to the Municipal Party Committee within one week."

He paused for a moment, then added, "Also, we need to promote the 'Liping Speed' (referring to the rapid development of Liping).

"The Publicity Department will take the lead in organizing media outlets to conduct in-depth reporting, covering not only achievements but also experiences and the spirit of hard work of cadres and the masses."

"We must tell the story of Liping well, and tell the story of Pingzhou well."

The Standing Committee meeting lasted two hours and formulated eight supporting measures.

After the meeting, Chen Wenzhe personally called Gu Mingyuan: "Mingyuan, the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee just finished its meeting, and they fully support the development of Liping."

"If you have any difficulties or requests, please feel free to tell me."

Gu Mingyuan was at the industrial park construction site when he received the call and was deeply moved: "Thank you, Secretary Chen! With such support from the city, we will definitely work even harder. Currently, the main issues are talent and funding..."

"The city will help you coordinate and select outstanding cadres from municipal departments to serve in Liping."

"The municipal finance department will allocate 20 million yuan in special funds, and we will also coordinate with financial institutions to increase credit support," Chen Wenzhe said decisively.

"Mingyuan, do a good job. Liping is the window to Pingzhou, and you are the benchmark for Pingzhou."

"If you need anything, just give me a call."

"Yes! We will definitely live up to Secretary Chen's expectations!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Mingyuan was filled with emotion.

The municipal party committee's support was so specific and powerful; it was an affirmation of Li Ping and a sign of their trust in him.

He turned to the officials beside him and said, "With the city supporting us so much, we must strive even harder."

"Let's go to Yunwu Township and check on the construction progress of the tea processing plant."

On July 27, the province's mainstream media began to focus on reporting on the "Liping Speed".

The Hanjiang Daily featured front-page reports for three consecutive days, showcasing the changes in Liping from industrial development to improvement of people's livelihoods, and from the work style of officials to the enthusiasm of the masses.

The provincial television station produced a three-part documentary series titled "Great Changes in Mountain Villages," which aired during prime time.

The camera lens captures a vivid picture of hard work: the smiling faces of tea farmers, the singing voices of students, and the sweat of workers.

The "Liping Speed" has become a buzzword, spreading throughout the province.

What pleased Gu Mingyuan even more was that the people's sense of pride soared to unprecedented heights.

Walking down the street, you often hear conversations like this:

"Did you see it on TV? Liping was on the provincial TV station!"

"Look, look! That tea farmer is my second uncle!"

"Secretary Gu is truly amazing; he led us to great success!"

At the breeding base in Qingshi Township, farmer Lao Li spoke excitedly and incoherently to the television camera: "Our village used to be poor, and all the young people left."

"Now it's great, I can earn money right here at my doorstep."

"My son graduated from university and was originally going to find a job in the provincial capital, but seeing how well things are going in our hometown, he came back!"

"I'm currently working as a technician at a livestock farm, earning over three thousand a month!"

The reporter asked, "What do you think is the biggest change?"

Old Li thought for a moment and said, "The biggest change is that I have hope in my heart now."

"I used to think my life was just going to be like this, but now I feel like the best is yet to come!"

This interview caused a strong reaction after it was broadcast on television.

Many people from Liping who work away from home have started inquiring about their hometown, and some are already preparing to return to develop their careers.

On July 28th, Gu Mingyuan received a call from Pei Yihong.

"Mingyuan, I've read all the reports, they're very good." Pei Yihong's voice was filled with relief.

"But I must remind you that the media is a double-edged sword."

"If we praise you too highly now, you'll fall hard if something goes wrong. You need to be careful not to overdo it."

"Governor Pei, I understand. We are currently conducting a review, identifying problems, and implementing corrective measures."

"That's right," Pei Yihong said.

"In addition, Secretary Liu asked me to tell you that he may go to Liping in mid-August. It's not a formal inspection, but just to see how things are being implemented after the meeting."

"You need to be prepared, but not deliberately prepared; just observe your usual state."

Gu Mingyuan's heart tightened: "Yes, I will definitely do my job well."

"There's one more thing," Pei Yihong paused.
