The training session proceeded smoothly with Li Rui's clear, bright, and lively voice. All the trainees present listened very carefully. Many of them recorded the main points in their notebooks as they listened. The entire conference center was filled with a good learning atmosphere.
After listening for about half an hour, Wu Nan had a satisfied expression on his face. He quietly got up and left. Before he left, he gave Li Rui an encouraging look. At this time, all the officials who were late had arrived. There were nearly 20 people in this group. They gathered by the wall near the door and listened to the lecture as punishment. However, everyone listened very carefully. No one showed any resentment or dissatisfaction on their faces. This did not change even after Wu Nan left.
After the first class ended, Li Rui walked down the stage and came to the group of people who were late. He said in a sincere tone, "Everyone has worked hard. Now you can find a seat and sit down. From the next class onwards, all of you will sit down and listen. It was not easy to organize this training. I hope that everyone can cherish this opportunity. Of course, what I said may not be correct and comprehensive, but I am willing to share my experience and thoughts with everyone. If anyone has any good suggestions or opinions, feel free to raise them with me. We can discuss them together. Now, please sit down. "
His humble and sincere words not only solved the difficulties of the late arrivals, but also saved their faces. One could imagine what kind of effect it would have.
The late arrivals either thanked him verbally or in their hearts. They all felt that although this lecturer was young, he was very good at conducting himself. Moreover, after listening to his training session, they could tell that he was indeed very knowledgeable in poverty alleviation work. Adding up the good impression they had of him, they felt that this young man was very good and accepted him in their hearts.
Therefore, after only one class, Li Rui received the approval of nearly half of the trainees. This was something he did not expect before he came. Of course, the trainees who were sitting in the audience also admired him. They felt that the knowledge he taught was unique and they had never come across it before. Especially those young cadres who had just joined the civil service after taking the public exam. They had not been exposed to the specific poverty alleviation work at the grassroots level. Now, after listening to his introduction, they realized that there were so many details to consider in the poverty alleviation work. After listening to this class, they also learned a lot. In the future, when they put it into practice, they would get twice the result with half the effort.
Li Rui greeted the latecomers and returned to the stage. He took out a thermos flask from his briefcase and opened the lid to drink some water.
At this time, a few people who looked like leaders came up to the stage and greeted him with a smile. Someone even handed him a cigarette.
Li Rui declined with a smile, "Sorry, I don't smoke." Then he walked off the stage and started chatting with them.
These leaders were all deputy county heads in charge of poverty alleviation in the (impoverished) counties under the jurisdiction of the Eastern State City. Among them were the two deputy county heads from the national and provincial poverty-stricken counties. The last deputy county head came from a suburban county that had just gotten rid of the poverty label.
However, these deputy county heads did not look for Li Rui to discuss poverty alleviation work with him. They just wanted to chat and make friends with him. Li Rui chatted with them for a while. When he saw that they did not talk about business, but kept asking about his work in the General Office of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee, Li Rui got tired of it. Since it was time for the break, he started the second class of the training.
Time passed quickly. Soon, it was 11: 30 pm. The second class had ended and it was time to get off work.
One of the trainees was the deputy director of the Eastern City Poverty Alleviation Office in charge of the project department. He was a deputy division head and had the same rank as the deputy county heads. He could be considered as the host of this training. He found Li Rui and invited him out for lunch. This was also what Wu Nan had told Li Rui before. The Poverty Alleviation Office would treat him to lunch. Li Rui did not refuse and followed him out.
After enjoying a sumptuous lunch, Li Rui returned to his room in the guest house to rest. Just as he lay on his bed, Wu Nan sent him a message, "Have you eaten?"
Li Rui felt warm when he saw the message. He replied, "I just finished eating. I'm going back to the guest house to rest. What about you?"
Wu Nan replied quickly, "I just finished eating. I'm going back to the office to work. Have a good rest. I'll see you tonight. "
Putting down the phone, Li Rui thought about how Wu Nan was going to have dinner with him that night and how she was going to bring him to enjoy the night view of Eastern State. He could not help but feel a little excited. He glanced at the four gifts placed on the table in the room, and he made a mental note to bring them to Wu Nan that night.
The training continued in the afternoon. The first two classes in the morning were about how to lift the hearts of the poor. After that, they started to talk about how to help the poor in the afternoon. According to the plan, there were three classes. After each class, there would be a ten-minute break. After the three classes, there would be a short break before it was time to get off work. From the looks of it, the afternoon passed easily. However, for the person involved, Li Rui, it was not so easy. Not to mention other things, just standing on the podium and talking non-stop for more than three hours was not something an ordinary person could easily do.
"… How to do a good job of helping the poor is a very big field. It is so big that many professional poverty alleviation officers and even poverty alleviation experts have a headache. However, in the actual process, we do not have to think too much about it. Let me give you a more appropriate example. Using targeted poverty alleviation, it is like a doctor treating a specific patient. Everyone here is playing the role of the doctor, and the specific poor person is your patient. So, here is the problem. How does the doctor treat the patient? This problem is much simpler. If you want to treat the patient, of course, you have to find the source of the patient's illness. "
As Li Rui was vividly teaching the students about targeted poverty alleviation, the door of the conference center was suddenly pushed open. A gust of wind came in. This sudden change attracted the attention of Li Rui and most of the students. They all turned their heads to look.
A tall, thin, middle-aged man in his forties walked in. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes. His expression was cold and serious, and he looked very imposing. He walked in and looked around the room. He did not even look at Li Rui, who was standing on the podium. He asked impolitely, "Who is in charge here?"
In fact, this training was organized by Wu Nan. Logically speaking, she was the person in charge. However, as the mayor, she was very busy every day. It was impossible for her to stay here and listen to the training all the time. Since she was not here, the person in charge here was the leader of the Municipal Poverty Alleviation Office.
During lunch, the deputy director, who represented the Municipal Poverty Alleviation Office to entertain Li Rui, stood up and walked out of his desk. He smiled and walked towards the middle-aged man at the door. He smiled and said, "Secretary-general Roux. Hello, you …"
The middle-aged man, who was known as "Secretary-general Roux", did not wait for him to finish his sentence. He interrupted him and said, "You are in charge here?"
The deputy director had already walked in front of him. He nodded and said, "Actually, our Director Gao should be in charge. However, he is not here, so I …"
Secretary-general Roux raised his hand and placed it in front of his chest to emphasize. He said coldly and sternly, "You are in charge, right? I don't care what you are doing now. Just leave this place quickly and go somewhere else. Mayor Zhou will be here in half an hour to attend an emergency teleconference held by the provincial government. You can't waste even a minute. If you do, no one can bear the responsibility. Go, now! "
The deputy director was dumbfounded. What's going on? Executive Deputy Mayor Zhou Yulin is coming over to attend a teleconference? Tsk, he is a big shot. No one here, including me, can afford to offend him. If he wants to use this conference center, I can only avoid him. However, the problem is that I am in the middle of training. If I suddenly change venues, it will definitely affect my training and mood. Moreover, I don't know where I will be transferred to. There are other conference rooms in the municipal government building, but the bigger ones are already full. The smaller ones are not big enough for me. Sigh, what should I do? In a hurry, I said, "But … our training was arranged by the mayor."
Secretary-general Roux was not afraid when he saw that the deputy director was using the mayor's name to pressure him. Instead, he sneered and said, "The mayor arranged it? No one can arrange it! Don't you understand what I mean? Mayor Zhou has to attend an emergency meeting held by the provincial government. We can't delay it. Whoever delays it will have to bear the political responsibility. Even Mayor Wu can't bear this responsibility. "
The deputy director heard that and agreed. Although Wu Nan was the mayor, he could not go against the provincial government. If Secretary-general Roux used the provincial government to pressure him, even the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee would not be able to bear it, let alone the mayor. He cursed in his heart and said awkwardly, "Okay, we will change venues immediately."
Secretary-general Roux looked at his watch and said, "Mayor Zhou will be here in ten minutes. I hope he won't see any of you here."
The deputy director nodded repeatedly.
Secretary-general Roux curled his lips. He seemed satisfied with the deputy director's attitude. Then, he turned and left.
As soon as he left, Li Rui came down from the stage. He walked up to the deputy director and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean? You want us to change venues? "
Secretary-general Roux did not speak in a low voice. Moreover, he seemed to want to show off. Therefore, most of the people in the conference room heard what he said. Li Rui was very close to him and heard everything he said.
The deputy director smiled bitterly and said, "Yes. Executive Deputy Mayor Zhou Yulin has to attend an emergency teleconference and use this conference room. Therefore, we can only give up this place for now. Sigh, we don't even know where to go now. The large conference room in the building is already full. The small conference room can't fit all of us … "
