In the scorching summer, the sun was blazing like fire. On the city's construction sites, groups of workers were working hard, sweating like rain, in full swing, earning hard-earned money. This was a group of people who truly lived at the bottom of society, struggling for survival. They were worthy of praise and respect.
Today, at a construction site near the sea in Haicheng City, there would be a lot of attention.
For the senior officials of the Haicheng Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, today was also a day worthy of attention.
Early in the morning, Chen Xing came to the Municipal Party Committee earlier than usual. When he was halfway through cleaning, Zhou Mingfang, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, also came to the office earlier than usual.
Today was the day when the groundbreaking ceremony for the Haicheng City cross-sea bridge project would be held. Zhang Guohua, the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and the acting governor of Jianghai Province, would attend the ceremony. For the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, this was the top priority for the next few days.
"Chen Xing, go and see if Secretary Li has arrived. Ask him to come to my office."
After saying yes, Chen Xing hurriedly stopped the work at hand and quickly walked out of the office.
Li Baojin, the member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee, was responsible for arranging the preparations for the groundbreaking ceremony. Yesterday afternoon, Li Baojin had already come to Zhou Mingfang's office to report the final arrangements for the groundbreaking ceremony to Zhou Mingfang. Early this morning, Zhou Mingfang asked Chen Xing to find him.
Chen Xing could see that this was a sign that Zhou Mingfang attached great importance to a matter. Any leader would pay great attention to the governor's visit. In particular, Chen Xing knew that Zhou Mingfang and the governor, Zhang Guohua, should have some private friendship.
At about nine o 'clock in the morning, the main leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government all came to the highway intersection between Haicheng City and Jiangcheng City to welcome the arrival of the governor, Zhang Guohua.
At a little after nine o 'clock, Zhang Guohua's motorcade appeared at the intersection of the highway. When they got off the highway, Chen Xing didn't see Zhang Guohua's motorcade stop. Instead, Zhou Mingfang answered a phone call and asked everyone to get in the car.
Chen Xing, who was standing next to Zhou Mingfang, vaguely heard that it was Zhang Guohua who had called him personally. It seemed that he did not like this kind of welcoming ceremony.
The groundbreaking ceremony was set at 10 am. The motorcade from the province and city stopped at the Bay Hotel near the construction site.
Chen Xing saw Zhang Guohua again. He walked in surrounded by Zhou Mingfang, Zhao Yiping, and the other main leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government. Chen Xing knew that Zhang Guohua would not notice him on such an occasion.
In the spacious conference room of the hotel, Zhang Guohua sat in the main seat. Beside him were Zhou Mingfang, Zhao Yiping, and the others. There was another person sitting next to Zhang Guohua. Chen Xing just heard the introduction and knew that it was Liu Qing, the Secretary-General of the Provincial Government.
Chen Xing sat in the corner of the conference room and observed carefully. This was the first time he had encountered such an occasion with so many leaders present. The protagonists of the conversation revolved around Zhang Guohua and Zhou Mingfang. Zhao Yiping had completely become a foil. Vaguely, Chen Xing seemed to feel that Zhao Yiping, who always maintained a humble and courteous smile, also seemed to be suppressing an emotion of unwillingness to be a supporting character.
The groundbreaking ceremony began at 10 am sharp. At the opening ceremony, Mayor Zhao Yiping gave a speech. It was a speech with both voice and emotion. He explained the strategic significance of the cross-sea bridge project to the development of Haicheng City.
Zhang Guohua, Zhou Mingfang, Liu Qing, and the other provincial and city leaders sat on the rostrum. Chen Xing stood behind the rostrum. If Zhou Mingfang did not have any special instructions, he had nothing to do.
Looking at the time in boredom, Chen Xing knew that Governor Zhang Guohua would have to give a speech later. Then, it would be Zhou Mingfang's concluding speech. Finally, a group of people would symbolically shovel a few handfuls of soil. Today's ceremony would take a long time to end.
