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

Back in the conference room, Chu Shijun stood in front of the table and tapped it, immediately silencing the noise below.

"Comrades, I'm new here, so let's postpone the meeting and get to know each other better before we talk about anything else. Now you all go and get back to your work."

After speaking, Chu Shijun walked out of the conference room, went to the balcony, looked around, found the office with the town mayor's sign, and pushed the door open to go inside.

The tables and chairs inside were spotless, and everything was neatly arranged. He brought his own water cup and other things, so he can bring them over tomorrow.

After glancing at it, he didn't move much, but sat down at the table and picked up the documents to read.

Now, he is waiting for someone to report to him.

In Huayang Town, the current town leadership team consists of only the town mayor (who is absent) and two deputy town mayors, a deputy party secretary, and a chairman of the people's congress (whose position is vacant). Including the town's discipline inspection secretary and armed forces minister, the party committee has six members. The organization and propaganda committee members at this level are currently only at the section level.

This is the current situation; later on, organization and publicity will also be at the deputy section level.

So currently, he is the only section chief in Huayang Town.

'Bang bang'

He had barely sat down when there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

The door opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties entered. He had dark skin and looked very honest and kind.

His name is Wang Xingmin, and he is one of the two deputy town mayors.

"Mayor Chu, I've come to report to you on my work."

As Wang Xingmin spoke, he noticed that there was no water on the table and quickly said, "Mayor, please wait a moment, I'll go get the kettle." With that, he was about to leave.

"Wait, Deputy Mayor Wang, let's talk about work first. We're not thirsty right now."

Chu Shijun raised his hand and said, "Let's sit down and talk."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements for you after I finish reporting."

Seeing this, Wang Xingmin could only nod, pull over a chair and carefully sit down, looking somewhat reserved.

Looking at Chu Shijun, who wasn't much older than his own son, he felt a pang of sadness.

He was a man in his late forties, almost fifty, and yet he had to be so respectful and subservient. It must have been quite unpleasant for him.

But he knows his own situation. He's an honest man, and he only got to the position of deputy mayor because of the support of the former Party Secretary.

The old Party Secretary left, the former town mayor was removed from office, and then this young man, Chu Shijun, arrived. He was sent by leaders from the county and city, so he must have considerable influence.

If he doesn't find a way to get ahead, he might end up staying in the position of deputy mayor until retirement.

So as soon as he entered the conference room, he rushed over.

"Mayor Chu, do you smoke?"

Wang Xingmin took out a cigarette from his pocket and gestured to it.

"I'm thinking about having kids, so I recently quit smoking. You can keep smoking."

Chu Shijun said with a smile.

"I don't smoke, I'm not addicted."

Wang Xingmin quickly put the cigarette away.

"Hehe, Deputy Mayor Wang, tell me about your responsibilities and work arrangements in the town. I'd like to know more about it."

Seeing this, Chu Shijun didn't say anything more and let him talk about his work.

"It's like this, Mayor Chu. I was mainly in charge of agriculture, forestry, water conservancy, and poverty alleviation in our town before. Last year, the old Party Secretary retired, so my responsibilities were adjusted. The agricultural work was given to Deputy Mayor Huang..."

This means their authority has been diminished, and they're only given thankless tasks.

Chu Shijun nodded and listened patiently.

"Our town has a population of less than 20,000, and our main economic income comes from agricultural and sideline products. Last year, our fiscal revenue was 11 million yuan, mainly from edible fungi, fruits, etc."

Chu Shijun took out his notebook and wrote down some data.

Wang Xingmin explained in great detail, recounting almost everything he knew, including some data that was largely consistent with what he had seen before.

"Hehe, okay, I understand. Comrade Xingmin, you seem to be doing your job very diligently. You remember some of the data very clearly."

This was the first person to report on his work, and he was very honest, so Chu Shijun naturally changed his form of address.

Wang Xingmin also noticed this, tightened his grip, and nodded, saying, "We are here to serve the people, and we must keep these things in mind; this is my job."

"Good, Comrade Xingmin, your understanding is very good. As a cadre, you must understand the work at hand. The data doesn't need to be extremely detailed, but you should at least have a general idea of ​​the big picture. I hope you will continue to maintain this in your work in the future, even if the burden on your shoulders becomes heavier."

Chu Shijun expressed his approval, noticed the footsteps outside, and put down his pen.

"Yes, Mayor Chu, don't worry, I will work even harder in the future. I'll head down now, as other comrades should be coming to report on their work," Wang Xingmin said with a hint of joy in his voice.

"Okay, tell the comrades outside to keep an eye on things and not to gather here."

"Also, find another liaison officer, someone new, to come to my car and help me arrange my luggage and accommodation."

"OK."

Wang Xingmin stood up, his steps a little unsteady. Making him do all these things meant that the government was willing to accept him.

As I stepped out of the office, there were five or six people standing outside.

His face regained its composure, and his voice was as usual: "Comrades, the mayor said that those who need to report on their work should come one by one. The rest of you should go back to work first."

After saying that, he turned and left without looking back, his steps appearing somewhat heavy.

The man in the lead, around forty years old, squinted at it and was secretly pleased.

What's the use of arriving early if you can't speak fluently and can only recite data? Which leader would want to listen to that?

With that thought in mind, he pushed open the door and went inside.

Seeing this, the others could only move away to a distance.

……

It was past five o'clock when Chu Shijun saw off the last person who was giving a report.

I have a general idea of ​​the leadership team in Huayang Town.

There are honest and hardworking people like Wang Xingmin, and there are also sycophants like the other deputy mayor. Another deputy mayor named Huang Youli can be said to know nothing when asked, only saying that there are documents and records and that he has seen them.

As for Liang Guoquan, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, he is also a newcomer; the previous one was arrested at the end of last year.

His attitude was very positive, and his words implied that he was recommended by County Liu and was one of their own.

So now, he has a clear idea of ​​the personnel arrangements for the future, but Chu Shijun is not in a hurry to hold a meeting.

He planned to first go to the villages below to check the situation and conduct some research.

After all, without investigation and practical research, one has no right to speak.

Only when we understand everything and have a clear picture in mind can we act quickly, accurately, and decisively to implement our work.

Chu Shijun put the documents on the table aside and walked out of the office.

At the corner, Wang Xingmin was leading a young man uphill.

"Mayor Chu, what a coincidence! Look, this is the liaison officer you requested. Xiao Lin just graduated last year and is only just getting familiar with the job," Wang Xingmin said with a smile, nudging the young man beside him. "Xiao Lin, introduce yourself to Mayor Chu."

"Hello Mayor Chu, my name is Lin Yingcai, and I graduated last year..."

Lin Yingcai was thin and had a very youthful face. He seemed a little embarrassed when he spoke.

"Alright, then Xiaolin, you'll be following me for the time being."

Chu Shijun looked them over and decided to use them temporarily to test them out. After all, there were only thirty or forty people, and it was good that a new person had come. If they were suitable, he didn't plan to replace them.

"Xiao Lin, you must learn diligently from Mayor Chu and be meticulous in your work."

Wang Xingming, who was standing nearby, gave instructions.

"Hehe, alright, Comrade Xingmin, Xiaolin just graduated, he's a young man, he'll grow up eventually," Chu Shijun said with a smile, walking down the stairs. "Come on, take me to my place."

The three arrived at the place in town where Chu Shijun had been arranged to stay. It was a small, single-story house, just a few dozen meters away from the town government, and Tian Wenming also lived next door.

The room was neatly arranged with tables, chairs, and a bed, and all his luggage had been put down.

Chu Shijun looked it over, nodded, and said that as long as it was clean and tidy, that was the standard of living these days.

"Okay, let's do it this way."
