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

Before the meeting even started, Li Feitu emphasized the importance of meeting discipline.

This isn't just making trouble out of nothing; it's a reminder to everyone just how serious today's meeting agenda is.

"Comrades, there is only one agenda item for today's meeting. Everyone knows the content, and the specific materials have been distributed to each of you."

"Notice Regarding the Strict Prohibition of Drinking Alcohol by Public Employees in Linchuan County During Working Days"

"The information is very comprehensive, so I won't repeat it here. I'll just mention a few points."

"First, during working days, including lunch and dinner, any unnecessary drinking is strictly prohibited. From county-level cadres to every grassroots staff member, if there are special circumstances such as official receptions or investment promotion, they must report and obtain approval before drinking alcohol appropriately."

"During weekdays, the time is from Monday to noon on Friday."

"On Friday nights and Saturdays and Sundays, except for those on duty, on standby, or in special positions, others may drink alcohol in moderation; this is not a requirement."

Li Feitu explained the timeline and requirements in great detail to avoid any misunderstandings or disputes.

He's gone this far now, there's no point in trying to argue anymore.

Failure to comply constitutes a serious violation of work discipline.

Li Feitu looked at the crowd below the stage and said in a deep voice, "Comrades, I know that many people will think that what our county party committee and government are doing is making a mountain out of a molehill and is unnecessary."

"But I tell you, it is not only necessary, it is absolutely necessary."

"I don't need to tell you what the atmosphere is like in the officialdom of Linchuan County right now; you all know it yourselves."

"I don't want to name names or give specific examples here. I just want to ask you all, and your subordinates, why did you come to work?"

"Is it just to make a living? Or is it to get promoted and make a fortune?"

"No matter what your reasons are for doing this, you must understand one thing: serving the people is something that must be ingrained in your very being."

"Giving you jobs and making you officials is not for you to ride roughshod over the people, much less for you to use your little power to extort and harass the people."

Why has Linchuan County's economy consistently failed to develop?

Why is the public satisfaction rate in Linchuan County so low?

Aren't you ashamed? Don't you reflect on your actions?

At this point, Li Feitu slammed his hand on the table, his voice icy cold.

"I'm telling you, if you don't reflect on your actions, then I'll make you reflect; if you don't change, then I'll make you change."

"Don't harbor any illusions. Don't think that if they really find out about you, you can just find some people to put in a good word for you and get away with it."

"In the past, perhaps you could have done it, but today, I'm telling you in front of everyone, it won't work here!"

"The disciplinary inspection team, the Party committee's supervision team, and all the government's supervision teams—anyone who, after finding someone, engages in favoritism or malpractice due to personal connections—can do it, just don't let me know. If I find out, you'll be the first ones dealt with. For those who dare to engage in favoritism and malpractice under these circumstances, there is only one punishment: Party disciplinary action, administrative punishment, and if serious consequences result from concealment, they will be transferred to the judicial authorities for legal processing!"

"If you think it's worth it to jeopardize your future or even your jobs for a so-called favor, then I have nothing to say."

Li Feitu first named the Discipline Inspection Commission, the Party Committee Supervision Department, and the Government Supervision Department. These three will be the main forces in Linchuan County's crackdown on public officials drinking alcohol. If they do not take it seriously and engage in favoritism and malpractice, then others will also have a侥幸心理 (a sense of侥幸, or a feeling of getting away with it).

Li Feitu's stern attitude made everyone in the room hold their breath.

However, everyone present could tell that it was only because Secretary Zhao wasn't here today that he was angry enough to turn red in the face.

There was no way around it; in Li Feitu's words, the officialdom and conduct in Linchuan County were simply appalling.

In Linchuan County, Secretary Zhao has been in charge of the work for many years.

Saying all this is tantamount to slapping Secretary Zhao in the face, questioning him in front of everyone how he managed to make Linchuan County such a mess.

"Third, county-level officials in Linchuan County must earnestly shoulder their responsibilities, conduct thorough supervision and inspection of their assigned areas and units, and be assigned to specific townships and regions!"

"Like I said before, whoever causes the problem, we'll deal with them!"

"Finally, I don't want to say anything more, but I want to solemnly remind everyone here once again: please remember this."

"This is just the beginning."

"The overall atmosphere in Linchuan County must change. Only by changing can we attract high-quality enterprises, improve the satisfaction of the people, increase tax revenue and employment, and ultimately, Linchuan County can develop!"

"Following this meeting, all townships and units must immediately convene a meeting of all staff to convey the spirit of this meeting to everyone!"

"It's 9 a.m. now. At noon today, the Discipline Inspection Commission, the Party Committee, and the government will conduct inspections and accountability in various forms."

"The methods are not limited to overt or covert investigations, nor are they limited to roll calls at workplaces; they may even include on-the-spot testing for alcohol consumption."

"Therefore, please don't take chances, and don't become a typical example!"

"Meeting adjourned!"

After finishing his speech, Li Feitu immediately adjourned the meeting without allowing anyone else to speak, his decisive action surprising everyone.

From the start of the meeting to its end, including the time spent waiting for Secretary Zhao, it only took a little over twenty minutes.

The speed at which the conference ended left even the officials at all levels in Linchuan County somewhat bewildered.

However, regardless of their confusion, everyone was clear on one point: Li Feitu was extremely powerful.

This meeting is no joke.

Soon after the meeting adjourned, everyone returned to their workplaces immediately to hold a general meeting to convey the spirit of the meeting.

Chen Jingcheng then followed Li Feitu back to the office.

After entering the office, Li Feitu looked at Chen Jingcheng and said in a deep voice, "Jingcheng, you know I was serious about what I said at the meeting just now."

"Therefore, I demand that your inspection office strictly enforce this rule and ensure that there is no favoritism or malpractice whatsoever."

"Investigate this thoroughly!"

"Once it's discovered, no matter who's involved or how many people are involved, report it all truthfully!"

"If the officialdom in Linchuan County doesn't undergo a radical, radical overhaul, then the people of Linchuan County will truly start cursing us behind our backs!"

"Linchuan County truly has no potential for development!"

"If we want the people to live a better life and if we want entrepreneurs to have confidence in investing in Linchuan County, we must have the determination to make tough decisions."

Li Feitu looked serious, and Chen Jingcheng understood what he was saying.

Because he understood this, Chen Jingcheng also knew that this matter was not done by Li Feitu to establish his own authority, but for the future development of Linchuan County, and even more so for the people of Linchuan County to truly benefit.

"County Chief, rest assured, our Inspection Office will not let you down."

"I'll go make the arrangements in a bit, and we'll start this noon!"
