When Ma Fugui heard that the secretary of the provincial party committee was coming, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for a few days, so he immediately called Duan Zetao and asked him to make reception arrangements.

After it was over, he didn't feel at ease, he drove back and forth on the highway from Gulin to Shanglin a few times, and even took into account the matter of going to the toilet on the road, and went to the several points to arrange for inspection, and asked a few times about everything, and asked Duan Zetao to plant colorful flags and welcome banners along the road, Duan Zetao felt tired and panicked when he accompanied him, and the results of Shanglin were there, and no one was afraid to see them.

"Secretary Ma, I heard that Secretary Zhao doesn't like to welcome the send-off the most, it's too peaceful, you make the scene too big and it may backfire?!" , Duan Zetao kindly reminded.

Ma Fugui waved his hand and said disapprerovingly: "Zetao, you don't understand this, it's one thing for the leader to like it or not, it's another thing for you to do it or not, if you don't do it, you don't respect the leader, don't pay attention to it, and how can there be a leader who doesn't like a big scene!" ”。

As soon as Ma Fugui left, Duan Zetao immediately asked people to put away the colorful flags and banners along the road, and only left two welcome banners in the township government and Huiren production base to welcome the leadership of the provincial party committee to guide the work.

Zhong Hanliang was a little worried: "Zetao, what should you do if the leader is unhappy if you do this?!" ”。

Duan Zetao waved his hand and said: "I asked Secretary Wang, he said that Secretary Zhao was most disgusted with the cadres below playing with him, and besides, these colorful flags and banners hanging here are completely inconsistent with the environment of our Shanglin, don't worry, I will take care of something!" ”。

Zhong Hanliang didn't say anything anymore, anyway, Duan Zetao was the protagonist during this inspection, it would be good for him to be a good supporting role, and with credit, he would naturally have a share of being a secretary.

On the day of the inspection, Ma Fugui took several sets of team members in the county early and drove more than a dozen vehicles to the provincial highway more than ten miles away to greet the entrance of Gulin, and planted a large number of colorful flags and banners at the entrance.

Zhao Xiangyang came down this time, almost lightly, and only drove a Toyota Coaster van and a police car responsible for security, and the only people accompanying him were Liu Dongsheng, director of the organization department of the provincial party committee, Jiang Shaobo, secretary general of the provincial party committee, Ma Yuejin, vice governor of the Standing Committee in charge of rural economic work, Huang Yunlong, his secretary, Wang Guodong, Ma Yuejin's secretary, and several other staff members.

The inspection team went straight along the S306 provincial highway, and did not even enter Shannan City, and directly let Sun Xianglong and Lei Activision take a car to follow them to the territory of Gulin County.

Zhao Xiangyang couldn't help frowning, and said angrily: "What the hell! Three orders, don't welcome the send, don't disturb the people! Why don't the cadres below listen, ignore them, and drive straight forward! Go to Shanglin Township! ”。

Ma Fugui and several sets of team members in the county are waiting eagerly, seeing the convoy coming, Ma Fugui is in good spirits, his face is full of enthusiastic smiles, his body leans forward slightly, and he is ready to rush up and shake hands with the leader at any time.

The big guy was dumbfounded, and at this moment Ma Fugui's mobile phone rang, and Sun Xianglong's angry voice came from the other end of the phone: "Ma Fugui, what the hell are you doing!" Didn't I tell you not to welcome the send-off, and not to disturb the people! Secretary Zhao is very angry! You let the other comrades in the county go back to work, you and Liu Mingzheng are in a car to follow, and we will go directly to Shanglin Township! ”。

Ma Fugui's face was frightened, this time the horse's fart slapped on the horse's leg, Secretary Zhao was very angry, the consequences were very serious, he sent the others back first, and let Liu Mingzheng get into his car, kicking and driving after him restlessly.

Duan Zetao and Zhong Hanliang took the members of the township party committee to greet Zhao Xiangyang and his party in front of the township government, and did not greet each other for ten miles as Ma Fugui explained, Zhao Xiangyang finally showed a smile on his face, got out of the car, held Duan Zetao's hand and laughed: "Comrade Xiao Duan, I can't imagine that you, the 'citrus township chief', are not only very good at selling citrus and grasping family planning, but also very good at engaging in the economy!" ”。

Duan Zetao hurriedly said humbly: "Secretary Zhao, Shanglin's achievements today are not my credit alone, it is inseparable from the care and support of superior leaders, and it is inseparable from the hard work of all township cadres in Shanglin Township!" ”。

Zhao Xiangyang was even happier, the corners of his mouth turned into a crescent shape, and he nodded and said: "Very good, with achievements, you are not proud, you don't take credit, this is a good cadre of the party, I don't praise you now, you take me everywhere, don't try to fool me!" ”。

Duan Zetao took the inspection team to see the Qujiang food and leisure belt, the production base of Huiren Group, and the orchard on the mountain, Zhao Xiangyang looked very carefully, and asked the people who were working in the orchard about their income kindly.

Zhao Xiangyang was very interested, and he had to go to the place where the peasants in the village lived, and saw that most of the villagers in the village lived in brick houses and had TV sets at home, he nodded secretly, everything can be faked, only the real living environment of the people can't be fake.

After reading a few points, the smile on Zhao Xiangyang's face became even bigger, and he happily said to Sun Xianglong, who was accompanying him: "Comrade Xianglong, at the beginning, I read the report of the Provincial Metropolis Daily and still didn't believe it, thinking that it was somewhat exaggerated, but now it seems to be completely true. ”。

Sun Xianglong also sighed happily: "Yes, our Shannan area is underdeveloped, the economy is backward, Shanglin Township is for us to walk out of a new way, the use of its own environment and resource advantages, the development of its own characteristics of the township economy, is indeed worth promoting and learning!" ”。

For dinner, I had a special farmhouse meal at the farmhouse arranged by Duan Zetao, who was originally not qualified to accompany the secretary of the provincial party committee to eat at Duan Zetao's level, but Zhao Xiangyang left him behind, but Ma Fugui and Liu Mingzheng failed to win the honor of having dinner with the secretary of the provincial party committee, and shared another table with several provincial party committee staff, which also made Ma Fugui more and more convinced that Duan Zetao had a hard relationship in the province.

The meal was very delicious, Zhao Xiangyang ate very happily, made an exception and ate three bowls of rice, he put down his chopsticks, looked at the beautiful night view of Qujiang River outside the window, and sighed: "I haven't eaten so full for a long time, the food, the beautiful scenery, I am a little reluctant to leave Shanglin!" ”。

Duan Zetao boldly answered: "Then Secretary Zhao will stay and stay in the resort hotel here tonight, and we will have a bonfire party and folk customs performance here at night." ”。

Zhao Xiangyang rubbed his temples and smiled: "I also think, if there are more Shanglin townships and more Duan Zetao in Jiangnan Province, I, the secretary of the provincial party committee, will not be so tired." ”。

Zhao Xiangyang and his entourage did not spend the night in the resort hotel in Shanglin, but returned to the provincial capital overnight, Duan Zetao didn't care about catching up with Wang Guodong, but just shook his hand vigorously when he sent him to the car, Wang Guodong quietly gave Duan Zetao a thumbs up, and whispered: "Brother, you just wait for progress!" ”。

Soon, the province came down with a document, the Shanglin Township tree as a "township economic development demonstration township", calling on the province's townships and towns to learn the Shanglin economic development model, so Shanglin Township ushered in a wave of reception of the township observation group.

Soon Zhong Hanliang was transferred to the county as the director of the county water conservancy bureau, which was a good arrangement for him, and when he left, he held Duan Zetao's hand a little excitedly and said: "Zetao, I have always wanted to be transferred to the county before, after all, my family lives in the county, and now I am a little reluctant to leave, Shanglin is in your hands, I am very relieved!" You have a great future, don't forget to come to the county to see me when you have time! ”。

Duan Zetao was also very emotional, he was able to have such achievements in Shanglin, and Zhong Hanliang's cooperation and support were inseparable, "Secretary Zhong, no matter what happens in the future, you will always be my old leader and old superior!" I'll definitely go to the county to see you! ”。

After Zhong Hanliang left, Duan Zetao naturally took over as secretary of the township party committee, which is a small step forward, don't underestimate this small step, becoming a secretary, he can really have the qualifications of the ruling party, and the importance of his future career is self-evident.

However, Duan Zetao did not serve as secretary for long, and he soon received a notice from the province asking him to go to the provincial party school to participate in a six-month study class for young cadres.
