Li Rui deliberately glanced at the circle of leaders in Jiupo Town and quickly found his confidante, Li Yulan. When he saw her, he couldn't help but smile. He thought to himself, "Shuanghe County is really a land of fortune. Here, I conquered my old boss, Yuan Jingjing. Here, I saved my father-in-law, Lu Zhouxing. Here, I met my confidante, Li Yulan. Here, I started my life's first career here. If it weren't for Shuanghe, where would I be now? Just based on this, I have to do more good deeds in Shuanghe County. Of course, the first priority now is to set up the mutual aid and poverty alleviation forest plantation base and help the people of Xishan Village escape poverty and become rich. Let's first benefit this area … "
While he was letting his imagination run wild, Jia Yulong got up and was about to get out of the car. He hurriedly picked up his briefcase and put it aside. After Jia Yulong, Robin, and the other city leaders got out of the car one after another, he walked out.
After getting out of the car, Li Rui had just taken a breath of the fresh and cold mountain air when he suddenly saw Jia Yulong and Robin, the two deputy mayors, leading a woman to Fang Qingyun and the other leaders of Shuanghe County. His heart skipped a beat. That woman should be the leader of the Eastern Province's investigation team, the main character of today's drama, the female mayor from the Eastern Province, Wu Nan, right? She was in her forties, had a slender figure, and was about 1.65 meters tall. She had long hair that was combed into a wide ponytail. She was wearing a dark blue suit and a pair of leather shoes. She had a demeanor when she walked. It was obvious that she was a leader. It was a pity that she was standing at a bad angle. He could only see the side of her face and not her face. Even so, he could see that her facial features were very three-dimensional. If there was no accident, she should be a good-looking woman.
"Welcome, welcome, welcome Mayor Wu to our Shuanghe County to investigate poverty alleviation work!"
"Hello, Mayor Wu. You must have worked hard. Welcome to our Shuanghe County to give you guidance!"
Jia Yulong was introducing Wu Nan to Zheng Yuanfang and Fang Qingyun, the people in charge of Shuanghe County's Party and Government. The two of them shook hands with Wu Nan and said some welcoming words.
Li Rui listened to their conversation but didn't take it to heart. His eyes were fixed on Wu Nan as he pondered. Based on this female mayor's age, he could roughly guess that she was a woman with a strong background. Otherwise, how could she become a mayor at such a young age? Most of the people working in the government were around 40 years old. The better ones could become a Divisional Leader, and the worse ones could only reach the Deputy Divisional Leader rank. Most of the unlucky ones could only reach Section Chief rank, and many of them were only Deputy Section Chief rank when they retired. Compared to them, this female mayor was much luckier. Of course, there was no such thing as luck in officialdom, only background. As long as the background was strong enough, the speed of promotion would be as fast as sitting in a helicopter.
He thought about the two female deputy municipal leaders next to him. One was Zheng Zijuan, who had just called, and the other was the female mayor, Li Jing, who had an ambiguous relationship with him. He didn't know how high they would go in the future. Zheng Zijuan probably wouldn't make much progress in the future. After all, her backer (although she didn't agree with him), the former Governor Wang Liguo, had retired. She was also involved in her husband's case. Even if she was let go in the end, the provincial leaders probably wouldn't consider promoting a sensitive person like her. As for Li Jing, this woman had a deep understanding of the Thick Black Theory. She could even offer her secretary, Jin Rui, to her leader. One could imagine that she would do anything to get promoted. Although people like her had evil intentions, it was undeniable that they were often the ones who climbed the fastest and the highest. Her road to promotion should be very smooth.
While he was letting his imagination run wild, Jia Yulong introduced Wu Nan to the leaders of Shuanghe County who came to greet her. Wu Nan also introduced the main members of the Eastern Province's delegation to the leaders of Shuanghe County. After the introductions, Jia Yulong and Wu Nan led their respective teams into the building under the guidance of the leaders of Shuanghe County. They planned to have a small meeting first to listen to the leaders of Shuanghe County talk about the progress of the poverty alleviation work in the poor villages. They would finalize a few demonstration sites and then visit those sites to learn from them.
Li Rui also followed the team into the building. He glanced at the Eastern Province's delegation led by Wu Nan and realized that she was the only woman in the group. He was slightly puzzled. Did this female mayor not bring her secretary with her? Or did she bring her secretary, but that secretary was not a woman, but a man?
In the current political system, even though there was no explicit requirement for leaders to choose a secretary of the same gender, most of the leaders would choose a secretary of the same gender to avoid suspicion. Otherwise, if a male leader chose a female secretary, and a female leader chose a male secretary, then they would be in the same room. Even if there was no ambiguous relationship between them, it would still be inappropriate to be seen or heard by others. But then again, there were certain exceptions. For example, if the leader was a female, and she wanted to choose a secretary who was capable, hardworking, and convenient in both public and private matters, she could only choose a male secretary. Because in these aspects, male secretaries were much better than female secretaries. On the other hand, the bosses of private companies liked to use female secretaries, but their motives were worth considering.
The group of people came to the large meeting room in the building and called for a short meeting. The meeting was hosted by the secretary of Shuanghe County, Zheng Yuanfang. Shuanghe County's mayor, Fang Qingyun, was the main speaker. The two county leaders sat at one end of the long table.
Jia Yulong and Wu Nan led their respective teams and sat on either side of the long table.
Li Rui sat behind Jia Yulong in a row of seats against the wall, directly facing the delegation from the Eastern State. From his angle, he could clearly see the face of the female mayor, Wu Nan, who was sitting opposite him. He did not let go of this opportunity and stole a few glances at her.
This female mayor was quite good-looking. She had a non-standard oval-shaped face. The so-called non-standard meant that above the mouth was a standard oval-shaped face, but the lower jaw was very sharp, and it was a bit of an oval face. Of course, such a non-standard face shape was actually very beautiful. It could be compared to the Hong Kong actress Cecilia Cheung after plastic surgery. Her face was white and greasy, with long eyebrows and single-eyelid phoenix eyes. Phoenix eyes were slender and long, but this female mayor's phoenix eyes gave off the feeling of almond-shaped eyes. They were very big and beautiful. Her beautiful face revealed a bit of nobility. Coupled with her graceful and elegant temperament, she was a very tasteful beauty. She was even more beautiful than Qingyang's Deputy Mayor Li Jing by three points.
Li Rui did not dare to stare at her for too long. After a few glances, he lowered his head. He thought to himself, With this kind of appearance, she would be considered a great beauty in the bureaucracy. He wondered if the boss had any other kind of relationship with her, other than the so-called old classmate relationship. If there was, the boss was very lucky. This Wu Nan was not inferior to Teacher Sun Shuqin in terms of appearance and figure. What was even better was that she was the high and mighty female mayor. It would be very satisfying to conquer such a woman.
The meeting soon began. After Zheng Yuanfang made a simple opening speech, Shuanghe County Mayor Fang Qingyun began to give a detailed introduction of the poverty alleviation work in Jiupo Town, including the causes of poverty, poverty alleviation strategies, poverty alleviation methods, poverty alleviation status, and so on.
The members of the delegation from the Eastern State, led by Wu Nan, listened very carefully. Everyone used a pen to write and draw in their notebooks. A few cadres nodded from time to time as they listened, as if they were very much in agreement with Shuanghe County's poverty alleviation ideas and actions. However, an interesting phenomenon was that no one spoke at all. It was as if these people only came with their ears and not their mouths.
Li Rui had never been to the Eastern State before, so he was not familiar with the geography of the Eastern State. He did not know if the Eastern State had as many mountains as Qingyang City. In fact, most of the poor counties in Qingyang City were located in the northern mountainous area. This geographical (environmental) disadvantage was the main reason for the local poverty alleviation. If the poor areas in the Eastern State were like Qingyang City, then it would be a good decision for Wu Nan to lead the delegation to Qingyang City to learn about poverty alleviation work. However, if the environment, conditions, and causes of poverty in the Eastern State were different from those in Qingyang City, then they would not be able to learn much useful things.
Poverty alleviation work had to be done according to local conditions. They could not blindly copy a model. Blindly learning and copying would not achieve any results. Instead, it would bring about a series of serious consequences, or even losses.
Of course, good poverty alleviation ideas, strategies, and methods could be used for reference. They would be useful to a certain extent in the future. For example, the best idea of Qingyang City's poverty alleviation campaign this time was to "emphasize the importance of the leadership". Before the city-wide poverty alleviation campaign was launched, the city's leaders and cadres had already unified their thinking through various meetings and promotional activities. Starting from the Municipal Party Committee's secretary, Song Chaoyang, all the city, county, town, and village leaders and cadres had attached great importance to poverty alleviation work. From top to bottom, everyone's efforts were tied together as one. If they carried out this way, they would naturally achieve the best results. If the Eastern State could learn from this, they might not be able to achieve much in terms of poverty alleviation when they returned, but at least they would be able to make greater progress than before.
As Li Rui thought of this, he raised his head and glanced at Wu Nan. She was staring at Fang Qingyun's face without blinking. She was listening attentively to his introduction. Her expression was serious, her temperament was elegant, and there was a certain charm to her.
