Breakthrough point 022

  Han Dong returned to the Statistics Bureau and took out that article again, carefully read it through, feeling that his point of view was still relatively mild, not radical at all. Of course, compared with those conservative views currently, it can be said that it is radical.

  Han Dong had originally wanted to publish this article with Shen Congfei, which would not only ease the tension between them but also tie them together, making it easier for him to get Shen's help in the future. However, this hope was crushed by Shen Congfei, and he could only think of a way out on his own.

  When it was time to get off work, Han Dong received a call from the government office, saying that there would be a municipal party committee leader coming to Fuyi County for inspection in the afternoon. A situation report meeting would be held at 2:30 pm in the county government's grand auditorium, and all unit heads were required to attend. No leave was allowed unless under special circumstances.

  "Situational Report Meeting?"

  Han Dong smiled wryly, fearing that it was just a cooling down. In the past few days, nearly half of the articles in Rongzhou Daily were reprinted from various major newspapers and magazines about conservative speeches, as well as a series of talks by municipal leaders, all of which mainly focused on conservatism.

  Although the national situation is roughly evenly divided between reformist and conservative forces, in Xikang Province conservative views predominate. The various cities and states below naturally tend to be conservative as well, with Rongzhou City being one of them.

  This situation is the reason why Han Dong has not published that article, but instead wants to find a leader to publish together. If he can pull up a leader and publish together with him, although others will share the benefits, he can also have one more person to help him resist when the storm comes.

  Han Dong is only a section-level cadre, and if he rashly publishes this article, it's likely that he'll be targeted by people with ulterior motives, which would be a loss for him. He doesn't want to enter the official circle just to seek help from his family in no time.

  At 2:10 in the afternoon, Han Dong arrived at the county government's grand auditorium. The auditorium was a building from the 1970s and looked somewhat old on the outside, but inside it had been recently renovated, giving one a feeling of refreshment upon entering.

  Han Dong first signed in with the staff sitting on the left side of the front row, then found a seat in the third row and sat down, looking up at the podium. Directly opposite, two rows of bright red national flags stood against the wall, below which was a long table and chairs, on which were placed bright flowers.

  One after another, people walked into the auditorium, found their seats and sat down, chatting in groups of three or five. Some township leaders were greeting others with a big smile on their faces, making the whole auditorium noisy and bustling.

  As county leaders one by one walked onto the stage and sat down, the voices of people speaking below grew much softer.

  Everyone seated on the rostrum was a county committee member, except for County Secretary Huang Wenyun and County Mayor Fang Zhong who had not arrived yet as they were accompanying municipal leaders. The other nine members had already arrived. They sat upright with serious expressions. Han Dong only recognized Shen Congfei and Wang Jinggui among them, the others he was seeing for the first time.

  At this time, all the Standing Committee members on the podium stood up and applauded.

  Everyone below stood up and looked towards the door, followed by applause.

  Three people walked in from the entrance of the auditorium, with a middle-aged man wearing a suit in the middle, with a square head and big ears, and a smile on his face. This should be the municipal party committee leader; County Magistrate Fang Zhong was walking on the far right, with his oily hair combed neatly; The one walking on the left should be County Party Secretary Huang Wenyun.

  Han Dong was seeing Huang Wenyun for the first time. He wasn't very tall, but looked sturdy, wearing a grey jacket with a serious expression on his face.

  "Haha, people are indeed unpredictable. Secretary Huang doesn't look as fashionable as County Mayor Fang, but he's actually a reformist." Han Dong thought to himself as he sat down with the others. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind - since Shen Congfei didn't agree with his views, why not report their work to Secretary Huang instead?

  The meeting was presided over by County Mayor Fang Zhong, who first introduced the identity of the municipal party committee leaders, namely Rongzhou Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee Member, Deputy Secretary and Vice Mayor Yang Lin Sen. Then Fang Zhong delivered a warm welcome speech, inviting Secretary Yang to make a report on the situation.

  "Comrades, today, I represent the municipal party committee and government, to make a brief analysis report on the current international and domestic situation..."

  Yang Linsheng's speech was well-reasoned and logical, citing classics and examples from Russia's turbulent situation, in-depth analysis of its deep-seated reasons, attributing it to improper reforms, and extending it to China, believing that the top priority for our country at present is to maintain stability, which is the primary task that overrides everything. The party committees and governments at all levels in Rongzhou City, as well as various departments, should all work around this central theme.

  As he spoke, Han Dong noticed that Fang Zhong, sitting on his right, had a pleased expression and a smile on his face, while Huang Wenyun, on his left, was expressionless, scribbling with a pen in a small notebook.

  After Yang Lin Sen finished speaking, Fang Zhong took the lead in applauding, and soon the hall was filled with applause.

  "Secretary Yang's analysis was thorough and insightful, conducting an in-depth dissection of the current international and domestic situation, and providing important instructions for our county's various tasks. In future work, we must thoroughly implement the spirit of Secretary Yang's speech, with maintaining stability as the core, to ensure that all tasks reach new heights."

  Fang Zhong made a brief summary of Yang Lin's speech and said: "Next, please let County Committee Secretary Huang speak."

  He directly passed the difficult problem to Huang Wenyun. In front of a large crowd, Huang Wenyun could not openly contradict Yang Linsen's speech spirit, or he would thoroughly offend him. However, if Huang Wenyun spoke in agreement with Yang Linsen, then how could he still talk about reform in the county in the future?

  Comrades, Secretary Yang's words just now have profound meaning. We must thoroughly understand and correctly implement them, and cannot misinterpret Secretary Yang's important instructions by generalizing from one aspect. Stability is a major issue, so how can we maintain stability? I think our cadres at all levels should not just talk about it, but find the breakthrough point and take targeted measures. Taking our county as an example, as a large agricultural county, most of the people are still living on the poverty line. To maintain stability, we must focus on developing the economy and improving people's livelihoods...

  He spoke eloquently, while Yang Lin Sen's expression on the side gradually became serious, and Fang Zhong's smile had long since disappeared.

  Han Dong thought to himself, "Secretary Huang's move is great, using external forces to achieve stability while emphasizing economic development and reform. Isn't this in line with my article? Hmm, it seems Secretary Huang is indeed a steadfast supporter of reform, and this might be a good breakthrough."

  Thinking of this, Han Dong's discontent caused by Shen Congfei completely dissipated. After all, one can't hang himself on the same tree forever, right?

  Everyone, don't forget to collect and vote after watching, thank you Xiaojiao.
