In officialdom: After she left, I rose rapidly through the ranks!

The meeting was considered complete only after Director Liu from the Industry and Information Technology Bureau and Director Han from the Finance Bureau entered the venue.

Of course, there were still some top leaders who were not present, but either the executive deputy county head Li Guangming spoke up, or the deputy county head An Xin spoke up, or some others directly asked someone to take leave.

In short, compared to the beginning when nearly half of the top leaders didn't come, now almost all of them are here.

Once everyone had arrived, Li Feitu looked at the people present and then, in front of everyone, directly asked Chen Jingcheng a question.

"Jingcheng, have you made a list of all the people who were absent and didn't ask for leave from anyone?"

Chen Jingcheng stood up and said in a deep voice, "County Magistrate, everything has been recorded."

Li Feitu nodded, his eyes indifferent.

"Alright, after the meeting, issue a circular of criticism directly in the name of the county government. This circular should be sent to everyone from the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and all county-level cadres down to the townships and units!"

Chen Jingcheng nodded immediately, indicating that he understood.

Many of the top officials present did not look too pleased.

Although they knew when they arrived that Li Feitu wouldn't let this go easily and that a county-wide public reprimand was likely inevitable, the thought of actually doing so and being criticized in a county-wide public notice still made them look grim.

They were all the heads of their respective units, yet they were publicly criticized throughout the county, which became the first step in Li Feitu's crackdown. They certainly lost face.

At this moment, Li Guangming, the executive deputy county head, looked at Li Feitu and said with a smile, "County head, everyone is here. Can the meeting begin?"

"Shall I start hosting?"

Upon hearing this, Li Feitu shook his head, picked up the documents in his hand, and gave a cold smile, saying, "No need."

"I don't see any need for this so-called economic conference."

"Leaving aside whether the people here are still in the mood to continue sitting here for a meeting, even if they are, I am not."

"With this kind of information and data, is this what you call an economic meeting for all the key economic departments in the county?"

"I think this is more like a joke!"

At this point, Li Feitu slammed the documents in his hand heavily on the table, making an extremely loud noise that startled everyone present.

Li Guangming and An Xin were both stunned for a moment. They thought that by criticizing and reporting on the attendees today and venting their anger, Li Feitu had already made his stance clear to everyone, and there shouldn't be any major actions for the time being.

But judging from the current situation, it seems that Li Feitu has only just begun to get to the point.

Is this a case of not having vented one's anger enough?

Li Guangming frowned slightly, then took out the documents and began to read them.

As the executive deputy county head of the county government, economic work is also one of his responsibilities.

Therefore, while others might not understand or comprehend certain data, Li Guangming could spot the problems at a glance.

After seeing the data in the document, Li Guangming frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Where did this data come from?"

"County magistrate, these data are all from previous years, which is fine, but some of them are completely different. If it's not due to negligence, then it's deliberately fabricated."

"Are you kidding me? The county government issued a notice for this economic meeting three days in advance, and the meeting materials were prepared in three days. And this is how it turned out?"

At this point, Li Guangming looked at Director Gao of the Government Office and said in a deep voice, "Director Gao, how does the Government Office conduct its work?"

"You spent three days compiling this document, and it turned out like this?"

"Is it because the government office is incompetent, or is it deliberately trying to trip up the county head?"

Li Guangming naturally knew that Director Gao would not deliberately target Li Feitu, but what he needed to do now was to criticize Director Gao in order to find a reasonable excuse for Li Feitu to speak up. Of course, he didn't need to do this, but that was exactly what he wanted to do this time.

Moreover, as the executive deputy county head, the county government office is a unit under his jurisdiction, and it is impossible for him not to take it over.

Upon hearing Li Guangming's question, Director Gao immediately began to explain, saying that he would not take the blame for this, and besides, he shouldn't have.

"County Chief Guangming, I admit that the government office did not do its job properly, which is why the materials are still in this state at today's meeting."

"However, County Chief Guangming, this matter is not solely our responsibility. As far as I know, our staff in the General Affairs Section have requested the data more than once, but the unit providing the data has made various excuses to shirk responsibility. Even this erroneous data was only delivered before eight o'clock this morning."

"I have already reported this to the county head, and he is aware of the situation."

Upon hearing this, Li Guangming nodded and looked at Li Feitu.

"County Head, you are aware of the situation Director Gao mentioned, right?"

Li Feitu nodded, then looked at the crowd below the stage and said coldly, "The data is all in your hands. I think many of you can see the errors in the data."

"I'd like to ask, since when did these departments start showing this attitude whenever the county government's economic meetings require materials from various units?"

"What? You're unhappy with me, Li Feitu? I have no problem with that. You look down on me, Li Feitu? You think I'm too young? You think I won't stay here long? I don't want to say anything more about that either."

"Even if you call me County Magistrate Li behind my back, or Li Feitu, or even worse, I won't hear you and I won't bother with you."

"But is work something you can joke around with?"

"Is this the typical work style of the leaders and cadres in Linchuan County? They can fudge the data and materials for important economic work meetings—are you trying to fool me? Or are you trying to fool the 800,000 people of Linchuan County?"

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

As he spoke, Li Feitu slammed his hand on the table, then pointed at Director Liu of the Industry and Information Technology Bureau sitting below the stage and shouted angrily, "Liu Yatu, you stand up!"

"Tell me, who authorized your Industry and Information Technology Bureau to do this? Who instructed you? What does this mean? Is this your attitude? Or is this your competence?"

Answer me!

When will a county government leader call out a bureau chief's name and make him stand up in the meeting room in front of everyone, without giving him any face at all?

This is a situation that is almost never seen in many places, including among many leaders, even those with a short temper.

If this occurs, it means that the leader is in a state of extreme anger.

At this moment, Li Feitu was in that state.

He slammed his fist on the table, pointed at Director Liu, and shouted his name, demanding that he stand up and be asked who had authorized or instructed him to do this. He argued that it was a matter of attitude or ability, and that this was no longer just a matter of saving face.

This is utterly shameless.
