n his own. That's the kind of man who has potential and is reliable.'" 。Director Chen, don't underestimate Commissioner Xiao. Although their progress might be slower and they may face more challenges...The meeting began with Ningxia Provincial Governor Gong Yong presiding over it. Jiang Kui, the Secretary of the Ningxia Provincial Committee, delivered a welcome speech to the delegation from Jiangzhong Province. 。Jiang Kui Gang said in his welcome speech: "Since Huaxing launched the East-West Poverty Alleviation Partnership Program, Ninggan Province has actively understood and implemented the important spirit of Huaxing. It has strengthened its confidence in poverty alleviation and wealth creation, recognized the gap, overcome difficulties, and made continuous progress, finally achieving phased results! ...

Infrastructure has been comprehensively improved, with hundreds of kilometers of Sixian Mountain Highway repaired, high-speed highway construction already underway, and facilities such as Tianwa Water Reservoir, Xiliushi Agricultural Reservoir, Jiangning Cooperative Full-Day Primary School, and Diaozhuang Central Hospital have been built, benefiting the people's lives, education, and medical care! Major projects are constantly being implemented. The project of governing the mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands, sand system, wind power generator sets, Ningdong 1 million tons of coal-to-oil projects and dozens of other major projects have been settled in various cities and counties of Ninggan, and the chaos of coal industry development has been rectified! Agricultural industries are emerging like mushrooms after rain. Projects such as the Jiliu Potato Base, Zhongning Wolfberry Production Base, Lengliang Vegetable Production Base, high-end sheep and dairy products production base have also yielded results, bringing our Sixian Mountain's characteristic agricultural products to the dining tables and homes of big cities, and enriching our farmers! Cultural tourism has flourished. High-end hotels like Yue Rong Hotel and Anhai Hotel have invested in Ninggan. Red tourism has become a cultural brand in revolutionary old areas, attracting tourists from both inside and outside the province to experience the beauty of culture, food, and human relations here...

These achievements are inseparable from the sincere and practical support of Jiangzhong Provincial Party Committee and Government, the hardworking attitude and spirit of Jiangzhong cadres who sincerely devote themselves to work, and the close business exchanges and frequent interactions between Jiangning and Jiangzhong... Ninggan and Jiangzhong are like two families. Today, Secretary Ye Fengnian and Governor Zhang Shunfa led a team to Ninggan, which is like relatives visiting! We not only want to express our warmest welcome but also offer our deepest gratitude!"

Applause broke out, and Ye Fengnian and Zhang Shunfa both smiled slightly, nodding with vigor! Other cadres from Jiangzhong were also in high spirits. >>> 。The delegation's visit to other provinces and cities for study and inspection, everyone is a unified whole. Whether the attitude of others is warm or not directly affects the mood of everyone. 。If the other party were to be indifferent and perfunctory, members of the delegation would certainly feel bored immediately!

However, today the Ninggan side not only had both main leaders attend together, but also their words overflowed with such beautiful respect, making all members of the delegation feel like they were bathed in spring breeze. 。After Gang Jiang finished his welcome address, Ye Fengnian, the secretary of the Jiangzhong Provincial Committee, delivered a speech. 。Ye Fengnian said: "Coordinated development is an important principle of our Party, and insisting on coordinated development is a major issue that must be addressed in the process of development. The connection between eastern and western regions is an objective reality." 。Since the reform and opening up, in order to achieve strategic breakthrough, it is necessary for some regions and people to get rich first! Jiangzhong is just such a region and group of people. Two years ago, the Party and the state called for the pairing-up and support between east and west regions to help poverty alleviation, which was to let the developed regions and people know that they were able to become rich because the western regions made sacrifices; it was to make them understand that our country is a unified whole, only when both east and west develop together can we truly be prosperous and happy! It was also to show everyone that through the cooperation and common efforts of the east and west regions, both places could become more prosperous and the people's lives could change drastically!

In less than two years, today's Ninggan, today's Liupanshan area, has already undergone such tremendous changes. This is the best proof of the correctness of the strategy of coordinated development between Beijing and other regions in China, and the best annotation of the effectiveness of the pairing-up and support between east and west poverty alleviation strategies! Our Jiangzhong delegation came here to visit and learn this time, first because our provincial committee and government team has just been adjusted recently, and I and Comrade Zhang Shunfa have both taken office as secretary and governor not long ago. We haven't been to Ninggan before, and pairing-up support is a major task we must do well, so we have to come! Second, we have a large number of cadres, experts, teachers and other personnel from Jiangzhong participating in the aid work in Ninggan. Two years have passed, and everyone has worked and dedicated themselves here away from home. Jiangzhong has not forgotten them. We want to visit and look after them, so we must come! Third, although the aid work has made progress, this is not a pause, but a new horn. The aid work needs to be carried out for a long time, and the cooperation and exchange between the two places need to go deeper. We should discuss together and promote new cooperation opportunities, modes and projects so that both places can benefit on a larger scale and depth!

Ye Fengnian's speech ended, and another round of enthusiastic applause sounded >>> 。The itinerary for this trip is laid out on each person's table. After the welcome reception, we will visit the ancient ruins of the Western Xia Tombs. At 7:00 PM, we will all attend a welcome banquet together. 。。The Western Xia Tombs are located on the outskirts of the city, so the trip there and back, plus the time spent visiting, took quite a while. 。The dinner will not start until seven thirty. 。On Ninggan's side, there was no grand feast. Instead, a banquet was held in the large meeting room of the provincial government canteen with six tables set up. The food focused on local specialties and being plentiful. Of course, there were also local white wine, red wine, and drinks served. 。There's one thing that can't be changed: provincial and ministerial-level officials have their own tables, department-level officials have theirs, and other cadres have theirs. 。Xiao Zheng rarely got to see his wife, so naturally he wanted to sit with Xiao Jingyu. But Xiao Jingyu said, "Go sit with your colleagues from An County. They came a long way to see you!"

Xiao Zheng understood immediately that Xiao Jingyu was still thoughtful! He ran over and saw that there were indeed many brothers and sisters from An County, already divided into two tables 。Senior leaders of the county, such as Jin Jianqiang and Guan Wenwei, sat at one table, while fellow comrades from the towns and townships sat at another. 。Xiao Zheng walked over and shook hands with Jin Jianqiang, saying: "Secretary Jin, I feel relieved knowing you're here." 。I went to a table over there and sat down, waiting for you to come over and toast! Jin Jianqiang knew that Xiao Zheng was taking care of the feelings of grassroots officials, so he said: "Rest assured, we will take good care of ourselves. We'll wait for Mayor Xiao to toast!"

Xiao Zheng sat with Qin Keli, Zhang Qing, Sha Hai, Wang Xinmei, Tao Jian, Zhao Yougen, Xin A Si, Jian Xiushui, Xiao Zhong and others. Everyone felt especially happy. 。In this grand hall, attendees range from provincial level officials down to department heads and even researchers. 。The people at this table, in the small environment of Tianhuang Town, were considered influential. But here, in this large restaurant, they were considered low-level! Yet Xiao Zheng chose to sit with them!

They knew Xiao Zheng as he was before, nothing had changed. 。After the host announced the start of the banquet at the main table, Xiao Zheng said to everyone: “Today we have many guests, and I've only just recovered from drinking not long ago, so I can't drink too much.” 。"Qin Keli said: "Mayor Xiao, of course we understand that..." 。We would be so happy if you could sit with us. 。Just give a little toast to all of us. 。Everyone nodded in agreement. 。That won't do. 。"Xiao Zheng said, 'You have come from afar, so you should all raise your cups to toast me first, and then I will each of you a cup in return. This is a must!' This was beyond everyone's expectations, and they all couldn't help but shout, 'Good!'" 。This heartfelt voice seemed too loud, startling the leaders at other tables. They all turned to look this way, some with smiles, some with stern faces, and some without a hint of change!

Qin Keli noticed and quickly said to everyone: "Be quiet, please. It's different here compared to when we were in town. Don't disturb the leaders." 。Everyone nodded in agreement. 。Everyone endured a smile, lowering their voices and remaining seated as they raised their glasses to toast Xiao Zheng. 。Xiao Zheng happily finished his drink in one gulp, then raised his glass to everyone again. He toasted Qin Keli, Zhang Qing, Sha Hai, Wang Xinmei, Tao Jian, Zhao Yougen, Xin A si, Jian Xiushui, Xiao Zhong and others, each person receiving a cup. Not a single person was "missed." Everyone was delighted, although they tried to keep a low profile, their personalities as grassroots cadres inevitably showed through from time to time, and they couldn't help but let out hearty cheers. 。Xiao Zheng is already the mayor, but his style and habits at the grassroots level are still very familiar to him, and he would never look down on them. 。After finishing his greetings with the cadres of the township, Xiao Zheng came to the * department and its leaders in An County. 。I would like to raise a toast to the leaders including Jin Jianqiang, Guan Wenwei, Song Jia, Shao Weixing, Xu Changyun, Li Xiaohua and all the accompanying leaders from Ninggan Province. 。Jin Jianqiang said, “Mayor Xiao, I remember very clearly the days when we worked together.” 。Over the past year or so, An County has made a lot of improvements. You definitely need to come back and see for yourself when you have the chance!

The system is constantly changing, 。Times have changed. Back then, Xiao Zheng was still an ordinary cadre in Tianguan Town, while Jin Jianqiang had already become a deputy secretary. 。Unexpectedly, more than five years have passed, Xiao Zheng has already become the mayor, and Jin Jianqiang is still the county party secretary. 。It wouldn't be accurate to say that Jin Jianqiang's career development has been slow. Over five years, he progressed from county party secretary deputy, to county magistrate, and finally to county party secretary. This is considered quite fast within the normal promotion channels in officialdom. 。However, people die of comparison. Compared to Xiao Zheng, Jin Jianqiang's progress was simply too slow! Moreover, Jin Jianqiang had also realized that with his age, background and political achievements, it was almost impossible to catch up with Xiao Zheng! What’s more, Jin Jianqiang had also received news that after Xiao Zheng led Baoyuan out of poverty, he would return to Jiangzhong at an opportune moment. 。So, a position at the department-level is inevitable, after all, he's his superior! Besides, there's another crucial factor – Xiao Jingyu is currently his direct boss!

Therefore, no matter how polite or humble Jin Jianqiang is in front of Xiao Zheng, it feels right to him!hout the support of his superiors." 。Every year, he also goes to Beijing for one or two trips. 。Now that it's nearing the end of the year, it was time to go back anyway. Lu Guitao had originally wante...
