The next morning, after breakfast, Qi Tongwei went to the office to start work.

After looking at the document for a while, Liu Jiayi, director of the Party and Government Office, suddenly walked in and said respectfully.

"Secretary Qi, according to convention, we should hold a joint meeting of the Party and the government today. What do you think?..."

"Oh!"

Qi Tongwei put down the document in his hand and said, "Oh, how could I forget about this?"

After patting his head, he ordered, "Director Liu, please make arrangements. By the way, remember to invite the comrades from the Seventh Station and Eighth Institute to attend the meeting as well."

"Okay," Liu Jiayi nodded, turned and walked out.

The seven stations and eight institutes mentioned by Qi Tongwei are naturally the grassroots units stationed in townships by the county bureau and the public institutions directly under the townships.

For example, agricultural machinery station, agricultural technology station, water conservancy station, urban construction station, family planning station, cultural station, radio station, economic management station, and passenger station.

There is also line-by-line management, which means various offices directly managed by county-level agencies, such as the tax office, post office, power supply office, and industrial and commercial office.

Finally, there are the institutions with two levels of management: the county bureau and the township, which are the ones people are more familiar with, such as the police station, finance office, judicial office, land management office, forestry station, court, health center, etc.

Township leaders are accustomed to calling them the seven stations and eight institutes, but in fact there are more than just seven stations and eight institutes.

These departments are all part of a township. Although some units are clearly under the direct management of the county bureau, they are on Xinyue's territory after all. When the secretary and mayor of Xinyue say hello, they will generally give face.

After Liu Jiayi went out, he first personally notified the leaders of the Party Committee and the town government.

Then we sent people to notify the heads of those stations. Some units were not located in the Xinyue Town Government, so we had to wait for a while.

About half an hour later, groups of people began to walk into the town government. Qi Tongwei looked out the window and found that among these people, except for units with strict professional requirements such as the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Tax Accountants, most of them were "mud-legged" cadres with low educational level and had never attended college.

However, their work ability and work attitude are no worse than those of college student cadres.

Because they are from the countryside themselves, they are very familiar with the situation at the grassroots level. Some people do not obey anyone else and only obey the grassroots leaders from their fellow villagers.

In the towns and villages of this era, these peasant cadres are the standing army of grassroots cadres. It can be said that without them, there would be no stability at the grassroots level.

After everyone arrived, Liu Jiayi hurried upstairs to report to Qi Tongwei.

"Secretary Qi, everyone is here."

"Um"

Qi Tongwei took a sip of the tea in his hand and nodded, "Go and maintain the meeting. I'll be there soon."

"Okay, okay," Liu Jiayi responded and then walked out.

As the top leader, Qi Tongwei must be the last to appear. This is not only for the sake of prestige, but also an invisible rule.

If you arrive at the scene too early, it will not only easily create an awkward atmosphere at the meeting, but will also create an invisible pressure on those grassroots cadres who are used to being lax.

So, after Qi Tongwei packed up for a while, he slowly walked out of the office and walked towards the government conference room.

Although the town government meeting room is not very large, it is large enough to accommodate more than a hundred people.

Most grassroots cadres entered through the back door, while Qi Tongwei entered from the backstage on both sides of the front.

Qi Tongwei walked up to the podium calmly, and the originally noisy scene immediately became quiet. The party committee leaders who were seated on the podium also stood up on their own initiative to show their respect for the top leader.

Although some comrades from the stations off the field saw Qi Tongwei for the first time, looking at his posture, even a fool could understand that it must be Xinyue’s Party Secretary, the top leader.

Qi Tongwei looked up and saw that those sitting in the front row included the two familiar deputy town mayors, Tian Jianguo and Xiao Jingying, as well as the police station chief, Dudu, the director of the judicial office, Chen Qingquan, the director of the industrial and commercial office, Zhan Fei, the president of the court, Mou Guangwen, and many others.

Although most of them were familiar faces, Qi Tongwei still couldn't remember their names. After all, he had been in charge of political and legal work for more than a year. He was relatively close to the police station and the judicial office, but did not have much communication with other units.

After Qi Tongwei took his seat, Liu Jiayi, director of the Party Committee Office, began to preside over the meeting.

First of all, of course, the leaders present were introduced one by one. Although basically everyone knew them, this had become a habit. If I didn’t call out a few times, I would always feel something was missing.

After explaining several items of the meeting, Liu Jiayi said loudly, "Now, please let Secretary Qi speak!"

Applause broke out at the scene. Qi Tongwei picked up the patinated microphone, glanced at everyone, and spoke with a smile.

"Comrades, today is the first party-government joint meeting I have convened as the party secretary. I have only been in office for less than a month, so I don't know some of the comrades very well. Of course, in the coming time, I will interact with every comrade present and strive to get along well with everyone."

After a brief opening speech, Qi Tongwei slowly got to the point.

"Yesterday, Mayor Yang and I had a meeting in the county. Today, we have two main things to do. One is to convey the spirit of the meeting of the county party committee and county government. The other is to discuss several issues regarding the construction of the new urban highway that is about to start in our town. Let's proceed with each item separately."

"The Jinshan section of the Jingzhou to Hangzhou Highway, which is also called the Hannan Highway, will officially begin construction in our county in a few months. In order to complete this project that will benefit future generations, all townships and county-level agencies in Jinshan have been allocated fundraising targets in accordance with the instructions of the county party committee and county government."

"what!"

"Another fundraising..."

"No way, why is the county party committee and county government always eyeing the little money in my pocket?"

"Yeah, it's only a few hundred yuan a month. Who can afford to raise funds every day?"

"That's right. I have elderly parents and young children to support. My whole family depends on my salary to survive. How can I have money to donate?"

"..."

"..."

As soon as Qi Tongwei finished speaking, the scene exploded. Except for Tian Jianguo, Xiao Jingying, Dudu and Chen Qingquan, almost everyone else was complaining.

The last time we donated money to repair the pipeline is still fresh in our memory. Now we have to donate money for the county project again. Who will receive this?

There was another incident that also caused a huge stir at the scene.

Because they understand that since they have come to the government meeting, it is definitely not as simple as just donating money. According to previous experience, not only do they have to donate themselves, but they also have to convince other employees in the unit to donate together.

So when the grassroots cadres in the meeting finished listening to Qi Tongwei's speech, basically they could not sit still. Not only would this make things difficult for themselves, but they would also offend people in their units. What kind of thing was this?

Dai Yunfei was a senior employee of Xinyue. When he saw everyone starting to complain, he immediately started to scold them.

"Noisy, noisy, noisy, noisy! Do you still look like a party member or cadre? Is this how you enforce the discipline in the meeting? You are worse than the elementary school and junior high school students!"

"Shut up, everyone!"
