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

A few hours later, the plane landed on a runway at Ayang Airport.

As soon as it landed smoothly and came to a stop, a large group of people came in to greet it.

Gong Zuyu and Liu Yuntian stood at the front, occasionally giving instructions over the phone.

Behind them, there were two groups of elementary school students wearing red scarves, holding flowers in their hands.

Further back, a banner was held up that read, "Warmly welcome the Xinjiang inspection team..."

A moment later, the door opened and the gangway was set up.

Chu Shijun, Li Dakang, Ye Wentao, and other accompanying personnel came down one after another.

"Welcome, welcome! A warm welcome!"

The elementary school student jumped up with his hands raised.

"Secretary Chu, hello, welcome to our Agui for work inspection."

Gong Zuyu stepped forward.

"Hello, Comrade Zu Yu."

Chu Shijun nodded and extended his hand to shake his.

"Let me introduce you, this is Comrade Liu Yuntian."

"Secretary Chu, welcome! You've traveled a long way to our province to inspect and assist our poverty alleviation efforts!"

"And this is...?"

The two sides introduced themselves to each other.

Then Liu Yuntian tilted his head, and several primary school students immediately came up and presented the flowers to everyone.

"Hello, Uncle Chu!"

"Hey, little one, how are you?"

Chu Shijun took the flowers, bent down slightly, and reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead. "You've been in the sun, have you? Go and rest."

After the children were led away, Chu Shijun's smile faded considerably. He handed the flowers to his entourage, waved ahead, and led the way out, saying, "Comrade Zu Yu, I told you not to hold any welcoming ceremony, and you certainly didn't. But, in this sweltering heat, what's the point of bringing these children here? What if they get sunburned?"

Upon hearing this, Gong Zuyu turned and glared at the person who came up with this terrible idea, then turned back and said with a forced smile, "Secretary Chu, we thought that you and your comrades from Baijiang had come all this way, and they happen to be on holiday..."

"Hey, that's not an excuse."

Chu Shijun waved his hand, "When I said not to make a fuss, I didn't mean I was putting on airs or that I didn't like it, but we have to consider the actual situation. Welcoming foreign guests is essential, but we're all one family, why bother with all this?"

"I'm happy that you have this intention, but I'm not happy about making these children go through these superficial rituals in the sweltering heat."

"Instead of wasting time, you should think about how to improve the development of underdeveloped areas and how to improve the lives of impoverished families. If you can do these things, when I come back, you can bring one or two people to perform, and I won't say a word. Don't you agree?"

"Yes, yes, Secretary Chu, your criticism is correct."

It was hot, and Gong Zuyu wiped his sweat. "I apologize. This was due to our insufficient investigation and inadequate understanding..."

"Let's go, let's finalize some details quickly. Time is tight, only four days. We need to come up with a feasible plan."

The group walked to the parking spot and boarded the Coaster and other vehicles in the middle of the convoy.

The long procession departed from the airport.

During the journey, the convoy passed by Ayang Square and saw the statue, at which point the convoy automatically slowed down.

Through the car window, Chu Shijun's eyes were filled with admiration, deep emotion, and a desire to learn.

All those past events...

"Comrade Zu Yu, we must protect this well. It is a precious cultural heritage and an eternal spiritual symbol. We must vigorously promote it."

As the convoy accelerated again, Chu Shijun turned around and emphasized.

"Yes, Secretary Chu, don't worry."

Gong Zuyu nodded solemnly.

……

Shortly afterward, the convoy arrived at the Provincial Party Committee and a symposium was held.

"Comrades, today, Secretary Chu Shijun of Xinjiang Province, Director of the Provincial Party Committee, personally led a delegation to our province to visit and inspect the counterpart assistance work between the two provinces. Please welcome him!" Gong Zuyu said in a loud voice.

'Pa pa pa'

Inside the conference room, hundreds of people clapped enthusiastically, some even creating afterimages with their hands.

Some people only know about Chu Shijun, while others know a lot and can glean a glimpse of his future from him.

Therefore, those who were able to attend the symposium attached great importance to it and did not treat it as an ordinary meeting.

You know, this kind of opportunity is rare, so everyone applauded very enthusiastically.

Half a minute later, the applause subsided, and everyone's palms were slightly red from clapping.

"The delegation also included Comrade Li Dakang, Secretary of the Zhencheng Municipal Party Committee, and the Deputy Minister of the Publicity Department of Baijiang Province..."

"Everyone, please welcome him."

'Pa pa pa pa'

After a brief opening, Chu Shijun glanced at everyone present, raised the microphone, and said with a smile, "Agui's comrades are very enthusiastic. I just checked, and some of the comrades attending the meeting are my former students from the academy, the ones whose graduation certificates I approved."

Someone in the crowd below straightened their back.

"I hope you will apply the theoretical knowledge you have learned to your actual work. Ah Gui, our economic ranking is low, we are mountainous, and development is inconvenient."

Chu Shijun naturally switched to the main topic.

"The decision to provide assistance to Xinjiang is a shared political task for both sides. We must pool our wisdom and efforts to develop the economy and improve the living standards of the people, taking into account the actual conditions of our region. Therefore, regarding this inspection..."

"Our special team from Xinjiang Province came here without any pomp or ceremony, and we set a tone for the entire four-day inspection: no last-minute adjustments to the sites, no pre-organization of the masses, and no need to prepare reports."

"We will conduct random visits and door-to-door surveys to directly address the problems. Our goal is singular: to pinpoint the difficulties in providing assistance, address the shortcomings in our assistance efforts, and transform ineffective assistance into effective benefits for the people. We hope that our officials from both regions will set aside those formalities and engage in pragmatic cooperation, frankly identify problems, and directly point out any shortcomings and rectify any loopholes."

'Pa pa pa pa'

Chu Shijun gestured with his hand, "Is what I've said going to make some people anxious? Are they already preparing who to find to deal with inspections, who to report problems to, or even finding someone to say this is good and that is good, only to find out they won't need them?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room froze.

Some people's expressions turned unnatural; they were all right.

Those who were hit by the prediction were afraid that the province would consider the problems Chu Shijun had seen as issues affecting their own political achievements, turning them into stumbling blocks to their advancement.

There's a saying: "Keep it to yourself for now, give the higher-ups all the credit, and once I'm gone, who cares what happens next?" (This is a fictional plot; please don't take it seriously!)

"Comrade Zu Yu, look,"

Chu Shijun glanced at Gong Zuyu, "It seems I was right, some people are actually planning to do that."

Instantly, Gong Zuyu, Liu Yuntian, and other provincial leaders scanned the area below with murderous intent.

Damn it, it's only just begun and it's already going to break down.

The crowd glanced around, and those whose expressions were unnatural had already had their names noted.

"Alright, comrades, relax. We're not here to inspect or hold anyone accountable; we're here to review and improve our assistance efforts. The difficulties in Agui area are the direction of our assistance, so everyone should tell the truth."
