Chapter 386: Chapter 375 Vice Governor Tian Doesn’t Give Face_1

It was around half past ten in the morning, almost half an hour since Hu Youquan, the Secretary-General of the Municipal Committee, had issued a notice to the Standing Committee members.

At the moment, in the small meeting room, many standing committee members were sitting in their seats with a look of confusion. Ever since the New Year, the situation in Liangxi City had been very strange. In past years, there were few occasions for an emergency meeting of the Standing Committee throughout the year. However, this year was different. It had been only three months, and several emergency meetings had already been called.

Moreover, this time was even more unusual. Secretary-General Hu only mentioned that it was a request from Fan Changsheng, the party Secretary of the Municipal Committee, without specifying what the matter was, which led many of the Standing Committee members to speculate.

Nie Zhenbang, too, had rushed back from outside. According to the schedule, he was supposed to go to Liangxi Airport for field research. The plans to accommodate civilians at the Liangxi Military Airport demanded frequent communication and coordination with the military.

However, after receiving a phone call from Hu Youquan midway through, Nie Zhenbang had turned his car around. He walked into the meeting room and Fan Changsheng followed behind.

After receiving the call from the Secretary-General of the provincial government, Jin Guoyong, Fan Changsheng was quite delighted. The visit of the deputy governor must be concerning Qingfang City. If the rumors were true, the deputy governor would certainly put pressure on Nie Zhenbang. In this way, he could also take this opportunity to reverse his declining trend.

Looking around at the standing committee members, Fan Changsheng frowned. Commander Peng Kaibao from the military sub-district and Ye Zhengwen, the secretary of the Liangcheng City District Party Committee, were absent.

Next to him, Hu Youquan nodded knowingly and explained, “Secretary Fan, Commander Peng has gone to the provincial capital to attend a national defense work meeting of the Jiangbei Provincial Military Region. Comrade Ye Zhengwen has gone to Jingcheng.”

“Alright, since all the home-based members are here, let’s get started.” Fan Changsheng began, scanning the crowd, “Just now, I received a call from Secretary-General Jin of the provincial government. Tomorrow morning, Deputy Governor Tian from the Provincial Committee responsible for industry will visit our city for an inspection and guidance. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the reception of Deputy Governor Tian.”

As he finished speaking, there was immediately a buzz of discussion in the meeting room, which Fan Changsheng was quite pleased about. The expressions on the faces of the standing committee members were entirely within Fan Changsheng’s expectations. Like himself when he first received the call, everyone else was also a bit surprised. Provincial leaders usually inform about an inspection or visit at least three or four days in advance, time specifically given for preparations. If the inspection was by the Party Secretary or the Governor of the Province, the notice period would probably be even longer. However, this time, Deputy Governor Tian’s actions felt extremely unusual.

“Secretary Fan, comrades, we have initially arranged for Deputy Governor Tian’s inspection. The Office of the Municipal Party Committee, according to our coordination with the Office of the Provincial Government, has selected three factories in Qingfang City and the Liangxi City High-tech Development Zone for inspection.” As the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, arranging the schedule for leaders, overseeing the work of the party organs, and handling reception work fell within Hu Youquan’s jurisdiction.

Speaking, Hu Youquan flipped through the documents in front of him and continued, “Additionally, two places have been earmarked as places for Deputy Governor Tian to stay. One is Court No.1 of the Municipal Party Committee and the other is the Presidential suite at the Liangxi Grand Hotel. The specifics will have to wait for Deputy Governor Tian’s own arrangement.”

After Hu Youquan finished his report, Fan Changsheng took over the topic. He nodded very pleasedly and said, “Secretary-General Hu’s arrangement is excellent, and he has considered it very well. The plans for the inspection locations and accommodation are excellent. Let me add a few more things.”

Saying this, Fan Changsheng raised his hand and made a gesture of three and said, “Three aspects. First, the City Health and Epidemic Prevention Office, Sanitation Department, Health and Education system must all take action. The city’s district party and government officials must all mobilize. All streets and communities in the city will initiate a city-wide clean-up this afternoon, resolutely eliminating any unsanitary corners, getting rid of clutter and disorder from the streets, and present the best side of Liangxi City to the provincial party leaders.”

As soon as this proposal was made, several standing committee members around him nodded slightly. Even Nie Zhenbang did the same. When it came to welcoming provincial party leaders, there was no confrontation between the two. Although the visiting deputy governor was not a regular standing committee member, he was at the rank of a deputy minister, and behind him stood the provincial party committee and the provincial government. The respect that was due had to be given.

During a leader’s inspection, the most direct and intuitive impression is given by the city’s level of urbanization, the brightness of street lights, and the cleanliness of its streets. These are flagship projects and also face-saving projects. On a regular day, without the inspection of leaders, there might be negligence in sanitation. This was unavoidable in any city, even major cities like Jingcheng or Hucheng City.

Immediately afterwards, Fan Changsheng continued, “The second aspect is the issue of safety and security during Deputy Governor Tian’s inspection and visit in our city. This must be effectively implemented by the City Health Bureau and the City Public Security Bureau. Regarding Deputy Governor Tian’s diet, everything from raw materials to food preparation should be supervised and implemented by the Municipal Party Committee Reception Office and The Office of the Municipal Party Committee, ensuring that Deputy Governor Tian’s meals are satisfactory during the inspection in our city. Secretary Huang Jiang, regarding security work, you should also take action. The City Public Security Bureau must tighten control and ensure that no traffic accidents or criminal cases occur during Deputy Governor Tian’s inspection. There should also be arranged personnel for 24-hour accompanying security for Deputy Governor Tian.”
