Nominal: Who isn't a son-in-law?

The following morning, an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee was held.

Chu Shijun sat in the main seat, with in front of him the information on the counties and districts that Agui and Ashu were assisting, and the province's artificial intelligence industry empowering rural construction plan.

"Comrades, let's begin the meeting."

"I went to the capital these past few days. Comrade Zhao Zhi and everyone else have roughly finalized the inspection plan. I've reviewed it, and overall, there are no problems."

Chu Shijun said in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping over his left and right.

"This trip to the neighboring province was not a routine visit. It was a review of our counterpart assistance work in Baijiang Province with questions and a sense of responsibility. As I have said before, assistance is not just a formality. It's not about investing some money or randomly launching a project. By the end of the year, the economic indicators may have improved and the data reports may look good, but that's not what we want."

"Because the people don't get real benefits, once the hype dies down, the poor will still be poor, and our assistance work will lose its meaning. So, how to provide effective assistance and achieve real results, rather than just having impressive figures on paper, is the focus of this inspection and should be treated as a political task."

"Therefore, this inspection is to go to the field to see what the basic shortcomings are in the underdeveloped areas, to understand the real situation of local industries, employment, infrastructure, and people's livelihood, and where the difficulties lie, and not just listen to the written reports from the local authorities."

Chu Shijun turned his head to the side.

"Comrade Daoheng, when you lead the team to the Ashu region this time, you should pay special attention to one thing: observe and listen more to see the real situation, rather than looking at some general data in the local government's documents, and listen to the true voices of the local people."

"Um."

Hu Daoheng nodded, indicating that he had made a note of it.

"Okay, next, we need to review the implementation and effectiveness of our counterpart assistance funds and related aid projects in Xinjiang over the years, and identify problems such as idle resources, mismatch between supply and demand, and emphasis on construction while neglecting operation during the assistance process."

Chu Shijun placed his hand on the documents in front of him and tapped them heavily.

"In this regard, we did conduct statistical reports before, and there were problems. For example, when the oil city was helping the neighboring counterpart district and county, it waved its hand and started projects and factories without considering the actual local conditions. In the short term, it did provide employment, but what happened later? It turned back, and the local people still had to go out to work. The factories also left behind ecological pollution. This was doing more harm than good. It was a mess!"

"I don't care who approved these problematic projects at the time, but this must never happen again!"

A chill ran through everyone. Some looked at Zhao Zhi, while others glanced at the Director of the Development and Reform Commission who was sitting in the audience behind them.

Everyone knows that this was a vanity project undertaken by the oil city when Xia Qiusheng was still in power.

Zhao Zhi, the deputy secretary and secretary of the Zhencheng Municipal Party Committee, also engaged in many similar frivolous projects.

As soon as the report was submitted, the National Development and Reform Commission approved it immediately, and the Ministry of Finance followed suit by investing money. It was a huge success, with factories being built and projects being invested in next door. While the project was underway, everyone was boasting about it, and the figures on paper looked incredibly impressive.

After the project was completed, no one could be found to work there, and the locals had all gone out to find other jobs, which drew a lot of criticism.

Unexpectedly, they've been dragged out and whipped again.

Chu Shijun glanced at some of them and continued, "Finally, we need to focus on investigating how the advantages of artificial intelligence and digital platforms can be implemented at the grassroots level, how to use digital means to consolidate poverty alleviation and prevent large-scale relapse into poverty, and how to truly transform our province's scientific and technological innovation resources into concrete assistance results."

"We have invested a lot of money in cutting-edge scientific and technological innovation projects such as artificial intelligence, and we have also achieved some results. A couple of days ago, when I was in Beijing, I talked with Director Li of the National Development and Reform Commission. He also said that the focus in the next few years will be on this aspect, with new energy as one and artificial intelligence as another."

"As one of the core research and development sites in the region, Baijiang now needs to consider how to implement the research results and transform them into new productive forces to serve enterprises, society, and the general public. This assistance visit and pairing with enterprises is a great opportunity."

'Pa pa pa pa'

"Alright, now, Director Liu from the Rural Revitalization Office, could you please tell us about some specific details?"

Chu Shijun looked at a middle-aged man in the back row.

……

The meeting lasted for more than two hours.

The various aspects were then deployed and studied one by one.

Finally, Chu Shijun concluded: "Targeted assistance is a shared political responsibility. Artificial intelligence empowering rural revitalization is not just a concept on paper; it must truly translate into increased farmer income and county-level development."

"All preparations for this inspection should be kept simple and pragmatic. All participants should set aside their usual bureaucratic mindset and go down to the weakest front lines to see the real situation. All relevant departments should prepare their research outlines tonight and ensure that all coordination is in place by tomorrow. We must proceed according to the established plan and not arbitrarily add personnel or irrelevant locations. We must strictly adhere to the three bottom lines of work, integrity, and publicity."

"clear!"

"Okay, meeting adjourned."

Chu Shijun nodded and signed his name.

After the meeting, various tasks were gradually deployed.

In particular, the special inspection plane carrying Chu Shijun underwent repeated and meticulous inspections, and was coordinated with local air traffic control and meteorological departments to conduct big data simulations, awaiting departure the day after tomorrow.

And then there was A Gui, who knew that Chu Shijun was coming.

These past few days, we've been holding frequent meetings. After determining the inspection locations, tasks were assigned one after another from the province to the city, and from the city to the county.

In some of the places they were visiting, it was discovered that all the dogs that had been roaming around all day were required to be chained up with heavy iron chains, and those that weren't were arrested on the spot.

The music from the city's street sweepers plays from morning till night. To put it more bluntly, it's like saying there can't be any trash in the bins, no cars in the parking spaces, and no leaves under the trees.

The attitudes of service personnel such as bus and taxi drivers have also improved remarkably in the past two days, creating a vibrant and thriving scene.

A-Gui Gu Tianle: "It's strange, a road that hasn't been repaired for years is being worked on and repaired every night recently. (Video)"

"We've got that too. All the trash cans are new, the walls are painted white—they're practically ready to dress the trees in short sleeves."

"That lousy garbage truck starts blaring its idiotic music at eight in the morning, goes around in circles every now and then, and keeps playing until I go to sleep at night!"

What exactly is going on? Does anyone know the answer?

Zhencheng Yanzu: "Hey, I told you long ago, our Baijiang Heavenly Team is coming! (Attached: Baijiang Provincial Party Committee Office's notice regarding the inspection of Agui and Ashu regions....jpg) Welcome your king!"

"Hiss, look at this list, isn't that the youngest one, cough cough, coming soon?"

That's right!

They enjoy close combat: "Why don't you come to Sichuan? The Land of Abundance welcomes you!"

"I dare not go; after all, whoever is behind it might not be..."

On various short video platforms, netizens are having a lively discussion.

And so, two days later.

Two planes took off from Heitu Airport one after the other.
