Me! A high-ranking official!

In addition, he discovered several accounts with extremely neat names and profile pictures that were all landscape photos or national flag photos. It was immediately obvious that they belonged to staff members of the county party committee and county government, and even several section chiefs from the Culture and Tourism Bureau were among them.

He was secretly astonished. How could a live broadcast of a village-level report in a remote mountain village have brought to light the private accounts of the county party committee office director, the deputy director of the county bureau, and even the county party secretary, Zhou Qingyan? More than a dozen county leaders and cadres were watching online!

He quickly calmed down, took a deep breath, and cheered himself up.

Clearly, the report given in the small conference room of the county party committee a couple of days ago had a ripple effect, and the county leaders had become very interested in his online governance and working model. It was like conducting a surprise online inspection!

This is absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! This live broadcast is not only an explanation to the villagers, but also a report to the county's core leadership team without any rehearsal, bypassing layers of departments!

As the clock struck 8:01, he cleared his throat, sat up straight, and addressed the screen in a deep voice: "Good evening, fellow villagers. It's eight o'clock. Our third live broadcast of questions from the villagers in Luo Family Village is now officially beginning!"

A long string of comments immediately appeared on the screen: "Hello, Secretary! Thank you for your hard work, Secretary Zhao! We're all listening!"

He looked at the camera and began his report: "First of all, I would like to give you a report on the progress of the village committee's various tasks over the past week."

"First, regarding the operation of the environmental protection bank. Since it officially opened, last week we collected over 6,300 kilograms of various recyclable waste, with expected revenue of nearly 2,500 yuan. We also exchanged approximately 1,300 yuan worth of daily necessities for the villagers. The environmental protection bank has now passed its initial stage and entered a stable period, basically achieving a small-scale circulation of funds within the village!"

"Secondly, the village's lighting project has been completely completed! We have installed a total of 61 solar streetlights throughout the village, and the main roads in the village are now fully covered by streetlights, which has completely solved the problem of everyone having to walk in the dark at night in the past."

"The third matter concerns the hiring of a village doctor for the village clinic. After several discussions between the village committee and Dr. Yang Zhenhai, he has officially agreed to return to the village as a village doctor. With the strong support of Director Guo of the County Culture and Tourism Bureau, the relevant procedures are being expedited and are expected to be completed next week. Our village clinic will then be officially opened and put into use next week!"

At this point, Zhao Jianguo subtly pointed out Guo Nanguo's shortcomings, thus giving his direct superior ample face in front of the leader.

"The fourth thing, and the one that everyone in the village is most concerned about right now, is the construction project of the authentic medicinal herb planting base! After multiple rounds of communication and negotiation with the Hotan Medicinal Herb Distribution Company, they will invest five million yuan to build a planting base in our village. The first phase of the project is expected to transfer 500 mu of land. After completion, it will be able to provide 30 to 50 stable jobs for the village in the long term, and about 100 temporary jobs during the harvest season! This afternoon, the project was officially submitted to the town government for project filing."

The live chat exploded with comments, filled with thumbs-ups and excited messages. Being able to work and earn money right at their doorstep was every villager's dream.

Without pausing, his voice grew even louder: "The fifth matter, which is also crucial to the development of our village for the next century, concerns the repair of the village road! To ensure the transportation of medicinal herbs from the base, Hotan Company has pledged to invest 700,000 yuan to improve village transportation. At the same time, with the strong support of the County Culture and Tourism Bureau, we have secured a special allocation of 70,000 yuan. We will use this 770,000 yuan, along with other funds, to extend the road construction project to 5,000 meters, directly connecting our Luojia Village to the provincial highway! In the future, our agricultural products will be able to reach the outside world, and merchants from outside will be able to come in!"

The five achievements are presented convincingly, clearly, and with detailed data.

In the live stream, not only were the villagers happily flooding the screen with support, but even the government accounts that had been quietly lurking didn't log out.

After reporting these five points, he changed the subject and became sincere: "Of course, there are also shortcomings in our work. Regarding the issue of centralized care for several disabled elderly people in the village, we were unable to completely resolve it this week due to limited funds and energy. The village committee will not shirk its responsibility. This work will be included in the village's long-term campaign, and I will definitely give everyone an explanation."

He glanced at the screen full of comments and smiled slightly: "Alright, that concludes last week's work report. Now, according to our rules, we'll move on to the public Q&A session. Fellow villagers, if you have any questions about these projects, or any opinions or suggestions you have regarding the development of our village, please type them in the comments. I will answer them one by one, and I will select one or two of the most pressing issues as our work focus for next week."

He sat up straight, his eyes fixed intently on the screen: "Now, fellow villagers, you may ask your questions!"

As Zhao Jianguo finished speaking, the screen was silent for two seconds, and then the barrage of comments immediately began to scroll rapidly.

"Secretary, where are these 500 acres of land going to be acquired?" A bolded comment popped up first.

Zhao Jianguo looked at the camera, smiled slightly, and answered calmly, "These past two days, I took the company's technicians to conduct an on-site survey of our village's terrain. Taking into account transportation, centralized storage, and the convenience for everyone to get to work, we have initially decided on the land on the west side of the village's main road."

As soon as these words were spoken, the live stream chat exploded, with comments flying everywhere.

"Why not seize our land to the east? Our land to the east is good; it's very flat!"

"Yes, Secretary, we can grow medicinal herbs on the west side, and we can grow them on the east side too. Why do the good things always go to the people on the west side?"

"Secretary, please use the ones from the east side. We'll definitely cooperate!"

Seeing the villagers' eager expressions of agreement from the east, Zhao Jianguo took a sip of water and said with a faint smile, "Fellow villagers, don't rush. We chose the west side because, firstly, there are more contiguous plots of land there, which can meet the overall plan of 500 mu at once; secondly, there are several existing cement farm roads in the west, making it more convenient for large machinery to enter and exit, as well as for transportation."

At this point, he suddenly changed the subject, his tone becoming meaningful: "However, I also need to clarify that this is only a tentative intention. Although the land to the west is suitable, some people may not want to rent it out and prefer to keep it for their own farming. We'll conduct a survey later. If there are more people in the west who want their own land and don't want to rent it out, then we certainly can't force them. I will submit another report to the town to re-plan and move the base to the east!"

His words, on the surface, were meant to appease the villagers in the east, but in reality, they concealed a hidden agenda.
