Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Secretary Zhou smiled and said, "Mayor Liu, I've read your profile. You don't have to choose us at all! What on earth made you choose us?"

They are officials who were born and raised in this place, people who were nurtured by the local environment. They may have various shortcomings, but they really love the land under their feet.

Liu Yibang smiled and said, "I don't have any complicated thoughts. Every inch of the land under my feet was protected by our ancestors with great effort. Now that the government has proposed the development of the western region, people have to come. I want to come to this difficult place to gain experience and do something for the local people."

If someone else said this, Secretary Zhou might be a little hesitant, but when Liu Yibang said this, he believed it!

My mother's profile states that she is a professor at Shenzhen University, a national treasure, and holds numerous patents. She doesn't charge royalties for drugs sold domestically; she only charges for exports.

My father is the chief of staff of a naval division. He is only 51 years old this year and still has more than ten years before retirement. It is very likely that he will make further progress.

This is only the situation of his immediate parents. He is fully capable of going to a better place to gain experience.

Secretary Zhou shook hands with Liu Yibang and said, "Mayor Liu, thank you for coming to our development. If you have any good suggestions, please feel free to tell me."

Mayor Wang smiled and said, "Yes! You come from a big city, you have a wide range of knowledge, and you are young, so you are quite smart. If there is anything we can cooperate with, please let us know."

Generally, such people come with resources and want to do something practical for the local area. The local people will benefit from it. As officials in charge of a region, they are naturally happy to see it happen.

Liu Yibang was very modest. "They say you have no right to speak without investigation. I'm new here and don't know much about this place. I want to visit the entire town and then focus on Baxiangzi Village. Once I understand the situation here, I'll report to the leaders!"

Liu Yibang kept a low profile and spoke very honestly, without giving blind orders right from the start.

Mayor Wang smiled and said, "We have two vans in town. I'll have someone from the police station drive you there and ensure your safety."

Liu Yibang did not refuse the kindness. "Thank you, Mayor Wang. I'm worried that I'm not familiar with the local area and need someone who is familiar with the local conditions to guide me!"

Mayor Wang smiled and said, "There's no rush to go to the countryside for research today. Stay at the office for the next two days and get to know your colleagues. We'll host a welcome party for Mayor Liu tonight."

"Thank you, Mayor Wang and Secretary Zhou!" Liu Yibang did not refuse. He wanted to do something and do it well, so he had to learn the methods and techniques.

We cannot be rude to local officials just because they come from higher up. Instead, we should be more humble.

Remember, no matter where you are, a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. First understand the situation, prepare countermeasures, and look for opportunities.

Although the welcoming banquet in the evening only had four dishes and one soup, the portions of these four dishes were very large, and they were actually all good food and wine.

Although Liu Yibang was a little surprised, the food was already prepared and was prepared to welcome him, so he couldn't say that the standard was not good enough.

If he turns against her now, his subsequent actions may be hindered.

Only by achieving results through his abilities, letting these people see that his arrival can bring about positive changes in the local area, increase income, and gain the support of local people, can he gradually gain a say.

Then he will have the final say on what he wants to change.

There’s a saying that goes, “Wherever you are on the mountain, sing the appropriate folk song.” This is exactly the case here. He needs to learn to accept it and then change.

The town government arranged a dormitory nearby and had a canteen, so Liu Yibang brought his luggage directly over.

After staying there for two days, he got to know everyone inside and outside the place.

In the morning, Liu Yibang got up and went for a run. He saw the canteen cook carrying a basket of vegetables in one hand and a bag of noodles and a bag of rice in the other.

She was carrying so many things that she walked a little slowly and was sweating profusely from exhaustion.

Liu Yibang hurried over and brought over the basket full of vegetables. "Auntie Cai, thank you for your hard work. Let me carry it!"

"Mayor Liu, don't bother you. This is my job and I can get it!" Aunt Cai didn't dare to trouble Mayor Liu. After all, he was a high-ranking official from above. Whether he was the mayor or the secretary, they all instructed the people below to be respectful.

Knowing that Liu Yibang was from the south and that southerners liked to eat rice, she bought rice specifically to make rice for Liu Yibang.

"Aunt Cai, if you didn't see it, it would be fine. Now that I see it, I'm here to help." Liu Yibang said with a smile. He never looked down on anyone. Besides, there was no need to look down on others.

Aunt Cai might not be as educated as him, but she cooks delicious food. Although he doesn't like noodles that much, the ramen made by Aunt Cai, made into thin slices and topped with toppings, tastes especially good.

Aunt Cai was delighted and asked with a smile, "Mayor Liu, you're from the south. Are you not used to salty food? How about I make you something sweet?"

Liu Yibang waved his hand and smiled. "Auntie's noodles are pretty good, and now we have rice. It will go really well with your spicy and sour potato shreds. Since I'm working here, I'm ready for a long term and will get used to the food here."

Aunt Cai smiled and said, "Okay, I'll try to make something delicious for you. I heard from people that people in your hometown eat light food. I'll think of some delicious and light meals for you later."

"Thank you, Aunt Cai." Liu Yibang did not refuse Aunt Cai's kindness.

Liu Yibang would give a pack of cigarettes to the security guard whenever he had them. In just two days, he became very familiar with the people there.

On the third day, he began to go to the grassroots level.

Ma Minghan, a public security officer arranged by the police station, accompanied him. The reason for choosing Ma Minghan was that his aunt married in Baxiang Village and he could drive.

Ma Minghan was of course happy to be able to drive for the new mayor. "Mayor Liu, which village is our first stop?"

Liu Yibang opened the map and marked it, "Erdaowan Village, trouble."

"It's not a big deal, it's my duty." Ma Minghan said with a smile, "The road is a little bumpy, please hold on tight."

Liu Yibang spent a whole week visiting all the villages, going around almost every house, meeting with poor families, lonely elderly people, and veteran heroes of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression...

Of course, he also recorded the crops in each village and the topography of the village.

Finally, Ma Minghan drove the van to the vicinity of Baxiang Village. Like other places, all he could see was yellow soil, but this place was better than other places. There was plenty of water, and now it was so cold that it was frozen.

At this moment, Liu Yibang heard a cry: "Help, Teacher Mi, please come up quickly!"

Liu Yibang looked in the direction of the sound and found several children on the ice and a person in red clothes in the ice cave.

Liu Yibang was startled and was about to rush over when he saw the cracks on the ice. He shouted, "Children, don't stand up. Crawl over here on the ice. Uncle will go save the teacher."
