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

"Secretary Chu, these problems do exist, and we bear responsibility..."

Liu Yuntian was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"This is not just a problem in your area; it is a widespread phenomenon. When I went to Lao Qin's area before, I found that some places were the same. If you can't make money locally, you have no choice but to go far away and leave your hometown to work elsewhere. So we need to face this issue squarely."

Chu Shijun said in a deep voice,

"This kind of relocation for poverty alleviation is a fundamental project to consolidate the achievements of poverty alleviation. Therefore, we must be clearly aware that moving people out is only the first step. The key is to ensure that they can settle down, find employment, increase their income sources steadily, and have a secure life. This is the ultimate goal."

"This field visit made the problems very clear, and the people spoke very frankly. The total number of jobs in the resettlement communities is insufficient, the coverage of public service jobs is small, and the support is still weak. A large number of relocated people have lost their land and have no stable employment channels, resulting in a single source of income."

"In addition, there are shortcomings in basic supporting facilities. For example, as the fellow villager just mentioned, there is a shortage of kindergarten places in the resettlement community. There are also incomplete functions of the community service stations and a lack of service facilities for the elderly. It is inconvenient for the elderly to handle affairs and for children to go to school. The residents have a poor living experience and a weak sense of belonging."

The entourage quickly took notes.

Chu Shijun emphasized to everyone: "Regarding these issues, I hereby clearly require that you adjust the direction of your subsequent assistance investments. From now on, our counterpart assistance funds from Baijiang Province must resolutely prioritize ensuring basic infrastructure for people's livelihoods and prioritizing employment opportunities. We must completely reverse the past erroneous direction of only focusing on vanity projects, image building, and appeasing superiors. Any projects that look good but are not practical, or prioritize political achievements over the benefit of the people, will not be allowed to receive any further investment!"

Everyone present heard him clearly when he said this.

Some people didn't quite understand, but others did. The emphasis was on arranging jobs and schooling for their children, which were precisely the things they valued.

For them, it doesn't matter how nice the scenic spots or trash cans are, or whether the houses have air conditioning. What matters is money. Children need money for school, medical care, and daily living expenses. Subsidies alone are not enough, so they still need stable jobs to provide their main source of income.

Therefore, those who understood explained it to those around them, and everyone was happy when they learned about the arrangements to come.

"Boss, you don't seem like the previous bosses. You're here to get things done."

An older woman mustered her courage and spoke, but then she shrank back.

"Oh, what did the previous leaders do?"

Chu Shijun asked.

The community leader was immediately stunned. "Grandma, don't talk nonsense!"

The same was true for the local county leaders; they seemed unsure where to put their hands while taking notes.

Seeing that she remained silent, Chu Shijun encouraged her, "Fellow villager, don't worry, you people are the most important. They're all under my control. If anyone causes you trouble, I'll cause them trouble!"

"Jia Xiaohua, tell me, you're usually the bravest one,"

Seemingly having noticed Chu Shijun's attitude, someone stirred things up.

The woman called Jia Xiaohua, who had just spoken, glanced at the community leader and the others, then saw Chu Shijun's encouraging look. Remembering that this was indeed a high-ranking leader—even the one who seemed to be from the province was afraid of him—she mustered her courage and said, "The leaders who came before all brought a bunch of cameras, asking questions here and there, saying all sorts of nonsense, just busy taking pictures. Before they came, someone even came to our door to tell us what they would ask and how we should answer."

"We drank a lot of tea, but now that they're gone, it's as if they never came at all." (This storyline is set in ancient times; please don't take it literally!)

"right!"

"That's right!"

"The woman who came to my house last time complained that the cup was dirty, so I had to go to the convenience store and buy two bottles of mineral water before I would drink it!"

"The one who came to my house that time, before they even arrived, someone came to my door to give me instructions on this and that, swept the floor spotless, and then took a bunch of pictures, insisting that I smile, saying whatever I wanted..."

"..."

As more and more people spoke up, the community leader felt his vision darkening, as if it were night. When he saw Chu Shijun's increasingly calm expression, his hand trembled, causing his pen and notebook to fall to the ground.

The crisp sound attracted Chu Shijun's attention, and he then quietly glanced at Liu Yuntian, whose face was gloomy.

"Comrade Yuntian, I didn't know this until I asked! You've done a great job!"

Liu Yuntian didn't answer. He turned around and said in a deep voice, "Take the people from the Discipline Inspection Commission away. You have five hours, no, three hours, to give us the results! In addition, the entire province will launch an investigation and hold those responsible accountable for this type of issue. If any similar superficial investigations are discovered, they will be dealt with immediately!"

Before he could finish speaking, two members of the accompanying disciplinary committee came up and carried the limp community leader away.

"Fellow villagers, we are sorry."

Facing the crowd, Liu Yuntian's expression was complex. "I used to sit in my office, reading their research reports and thinking they were all good. If Secretary Chu hadn't come to investigate in person this time, I wouldn't have realized how embarrassing it is! So embarrassing!"

He raised his hand and patted his face.

Li Dakang, who was accompanying him, twitched at the corner of his mouth as he watched this scene.

"Please rest assured, now that the problem has been discovered, we acknowledge it and will issue a penalty decision as soon as possible. We will strictly enforce regulations for similar issues going forward. Comrade Hu Ming, please leave your phone number with the villagers; this information will be publicized to other regions later."

"If your Rural Revitalization Bureau discovers any similar incidents again, deal with them immediately. If you report them to me, I will hold you accountable!"

Liu Yuntian said sternly.

"OK,"

Hu Ming honestly gave out his phone number.

Having witnessed all of this, Chu Shijun slowly spoke: "Fellow villagers, the punishment we are administering is not just for show. Of course, I know you may not entirely believe it, but please rest assured, give us a chance to correct our mistakes. Our organization members dare to face problems head-on, confront errors directly, and dare to solve and correct them!"

"good!"

"Boss, we believe in you!"

"This is Secretary Chu of Xinjiang Province."

"Yes, Secretary Chu, we believe in you, and thank you for your assistance in Xinjiang!"

"You are Secretary Chu, the people's Party Secretary!"

"Secretary Chu, what a pity..."

Everyone present applauded after hearing this.

After the applause subsided, Chu Shijun smiled and said, "Alright, folks, it's getting late. Go back and pack up to prepare dinner. We will definitely rectify the problems we found during today's investigation in a timely manner."

"Secretary Chu, would you like to stay for a meal?"

"yes……"

"No, no."

Chu Shijun waved his hand.

"There's a whole group of us, so how much do we need to eat? Just make sure you're all full. When your living standards improve, I'll gladly accompany you even if you want me to eat two or three meals a day!"
