Chapter 103 Are you hungry?
Dawei, who was eating, felt someone touch his leg. He looked down and scanned the room to see who had done it.
Finally, my gaze fell on Xiao Lili, noticing that the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, her teeth lightly biting the soup spoon, a half-smile on her face.
Judging from the looks of it, it was Xiao Lili who was up to something under the table just now. Dawei was speechless. This woman was incredibly bold. There were so many people around; what if someone found out...?
I need to find an opportunity to have a serious talk with her later; she can't be so unruly.
However, after Xiao Lili's actions tonight, Shao Zhen'an, one of the five members of the group, is finished.
At worst, they'll be suspended from their duties for reflection, and then they'll be transferred from their original positions.
With one less key figure in Zhou Xiangzhang's camp, Dawei's work would go more smoothly in the future. Dawei was secretly pleased about this and was no longer so angry about Xiao Lili's teasing earlier.
The power to appoint the head of the Organization Department of Yuanshan County rests with the city; the county party committee can make recommendations, and then the higher authorities will conduct further investigations.
The head of the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department is Xiao Zhikai, who is in the same lineage as Dawei. To put it bluntly, whoever Dawei recommends is usually the one who will succeed Shao Zhen'an.
At present, Xiao Lili is probably the most suitable candidate. Of the three deputy ministers of the county organization department, only Xiao Lili took the initiative to curry favor with Dawei and secretly tipped him off.
However, Dawei did not decide to recommend Xiao Lili at the moment—he still had the same concerns as before: Xiao Lili was a free spirit, and Dawei was worried about her stability, and at the same time, he did not see her sincerity.
Xiao Lili's actions towards Shao Zhen'an were for her own promotion, which does not demonstrate her sincerity towards Dawei.
This matter is different from Wu Maocai's persecution of Lin Wangyou. Wu Maocai did this sincerely to remove obstacles for Dawei, and he had no selfish motives.
Xiao Zhikai put down his chopsticks when he had almost finished eating.
I'm going back to the city first thing tomorrow morning.
You don't need to come and deliver it.
Comrade Xiangzhang, tomorrow you should inform the comrades of the county discipline inspection commission to thoroughly investigate Shao Zhen'an's case and produce a result.
Zhou Xiangzhang nodded repeatedly, indicating, "Minister Xiao, rest assured, our Yuanshan County will definitely investigate Shao Zhen'an, this black sheep, thoroughly."
"Lin Wangyou has been taken away. If the county discipline inspection commission can't handle it, they can ask the municipal discipline inspection commission for assistance."
"They can handle it, I believe they can handle it." Zhou Xiangzhang didn't want any more people from the city to come.
Every day, one investigation team from the city comes after another. If the city discipline inspection commission sends people down, then we really won't be able to get through this day.
Xiao Zhikai nodded in satisfaction, glanced at the three deputy ministers of the county's organization department present, blinked, and said slowly, "The work of the county's organization department cannot stop. Before a new minister is appointed, the work of the Yuanshan County Organization Department..."
At this point, if someone is called upon to temporarily take charge of the work, it is highly likely that this deputy minister will replace Shao Zhen'an.
The three vice ministers, including Xiao Lili, all turned to look at Xiao Zhikai, their faces filled with barely concealed excitement.
After observing for a while, Xiao Zhikai paused and said, "You three vice ministers need to get the work under control. The city will study the matter as soon as possible and determine the new ministers."
Upon hearing this, the other two ministers were somewhat disappointed, not expecting Xiao Zhikai to say that he wouldn't appoint someone to temporarily take charge of the work.
Xiao Lili remained calm and proactively stated, "Don't worry, Director Xiao, we will definitely do our job well."
Xiao Zhikai gave a soft "hmm" and smiled meaningfully.
The dinner party ended.
Lin Yunxing drove Dawei back to the county government building.
David changed his car and went home.
Wu Maocai's wife, Qin Hongmei, happened to be at Dawei's house.
"Auntie, you're rolling the dough the wrong way. It has to be like this... Oh, right, you need to use your wrist to roll it out evenly."
Qin Hongmei is teaching Zhang Guifen how to roll out dough.
Seeing Dawei return, Qin Hongmei smiled broadly: "County Chief Chen is back."
"My sister-in-law is here."
"Yes, my aunt told me that you have something important to do recently and that you'll be working overtime tonight, so I was thinking of making some dumplings or something and bringing them over tonight."
Zhang Guifen chimed in, "I'd like to learn too, hehe."
Dawei told his mother to tell Qin Hongmei so that she wouldn't worry about Wu Maocai.
The two families lived close by, so Qin Hongmei would definitely believe what her mother said.
"The cafeteria offers late-night snacks, so you don't have to go through all this trouble."
Qin Hongmei replied with a smile, "How can the food made in the cafeteria be as clean and nutritious as what you make at home?"
We women have nothing else to do, so we just use it to kill time.
Dawei washed up, changed his clothes, and rummaged through the bookshelf to find some books on state-owned enterprise management, classic case studies of county-owned state-owned enterprises, and agricultural development. He put them in his bag and took them back to the county government compound.
Wu Maocai's office light was still on.
He, along with several staff members from the county government office, is studying the establishment of the Yuanshan County Fruit Industry Company.
This plan is urgent; I'll probably have to work overtime until late tonight.
As the leader, David was in charge of this project, and his subordinates were working overtime to finish it. He couldn't just sit idly by, so he joined in their discussions.
There are no state-owned enterprises in Yuanshan County.
If this company succeeds, it will be the first state-owned enterprise in the history of Yuanshan County, which is of great significance.
Dawei distributed the books he brought to everyone so they could digest them on the spot. When they encountered policy blind spots, Dawei simply started a QQ video call and contacted his former mentor from Sun Yat-sen University.
"Director, I'm sorry to bother you so late."
"Excuse me, but what are you doing?"
"I'm working with my colleagues in the county to discuss establishing a fruit company and setting up a navel orange plantation. I have some questions for you, my supervisor."
"Oh..." The counselor pushed up his glasses on the other end of the video call: "It's a paid service, 800 per hour."
"Director, what you're doing..."
"You dare to bother me with such embarrassment, so what do I have to be embarrassed about? What's wrong with asking you for a consultation fee? You're such a high-ranking county magistrate, can't you even make this kind of decision?"
"Yes, we can do it."
The counselor waved his hand: "Make way, let me see who's here?"
The counselor squinted and glanced around before asking, "Have the comrades from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Finance Department, and the Market Supervision Administration all arrived?"
Dawei stepped aside to give them a view and introduced them one by one: "Everyone's here. This is Director Wu from the County Government Office, and this is the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission..."
After nearly two hours of communication with the counselor from Guangzhou University, many blind spots were cleared up. Since no one in the county had experience in establishing state-owned enterprises, this video conference gave everyone a better understanding of the situation.
After the video call ended, Dawei continued the meeting with his team of managers, going over all the details of establishing the fruit company.
Next, we will discuss the next topic, which is the business aspect.
What is the maximum scale that can be achieved? Which mountainous areas in which townships are suitable for planting? How high are the land costs? How much should be paid to the farmers in the plantation?
The meeting lasted until 1 a.m.
A basic outline of a plan has been formed.
Tomorrow, the county government office staff can begin drafting the proposal and seeking funding support from higher levels.
After the meeting, David was about to drive home when he noticed a lot of messages on his phone.
One message was from Xiao Zhikai: "Dawei, do you have a suitable candidate in mind for the position of Minister of the Organization Department?"
Another message from Xiao Lili read: "The meeting isn't over yet? Are you hungry? I'll prepare some late-night snacks for you. Come to my place to eat when you get back later!"
