Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

Comrades from the daily newspaper come to Zhuang'an once or twice every year.

After all, every county in the provincial capital had to report some news. Even though Zhuang'an was extremely remote and backward, with no say in Ningzhou, it still needed to be reported. This was a political issue.

The Propaganda Department of Zhuang'an County Party Committee also has tasks.

But the Zhuang'an County tonight still opened the eyes of the comrades of the daily newspaper.

Isn’t this too lively?

There were simply huge crowds of people, and people walking on the streets were shoulder to shoulder. Many people were wearing new clothes, holding snacks in their hands, and their faces were filled with smiles from the heart.

"Oh my god, is this Zhuang An?"

A young female editor couldn't help but sigh.

"This is even more lively than Ningzhou..."

"When we came here last year, the streets were deserted. There were hardly any people around, and few shops were open. How come in just a year, there are so many shops on the street? Look, those clothing stores are lined up in rows..."

The deputy editor-in-chief chuckled and said, "They open hundreds of factories a year and even built the Chuzhou Commodity City... I was there when the commodity city opened last time, and it was truly a dazzling array of things. There were so many things I couldn't even name."

"Tsk tsk, this Secretary Liu is truly capable... How on earth did he do it?"

"Zhuang'an is the poorest county in Ningzhou..."

The young female editor was amazed.

"Hey, that's not the case now. You're talking about the past. I heard that their fiscal revenue this year has quadrupled compared to last year, reaching six million. Apart from a few districts, which other county can compare?"

"And if this trend continues, their fiscal revenue could double or even quadruple next year. That would be 20 to 30 million. They might even surpass the urban area."

"Zhuang'an has a population of only 200,000. With so much money to earn, shouldn't we spend it?"

"Look at the people on the street. How can they smile so happily without a few bills in their pockets?"

Editors and reporters agreed with this.

Liu Hongyi was quite surprised by the arrival of the comrades from the daily newspaper, especially after learning their purpose. Liu Hongyi was silent for a moment before saying, "Editor-in-Chief Ouyang, can you please not report this?"

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Ouyang was stunned and asked in confusion, "Secretary Liu, why?"

"Our daily newspaper reported this, which means the municipal party committee and government have affirmed and supported your Zhuangan's actions."

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Ouyang is also a cadre within the system. He understands the risks of Zhuang An's approach and also understands that Fang Zimu asked them to report this matter in order to protect Liu Hongyi and Zhuang An's cadres.

And now, Liu Hongyi actually made such a request.

Liu Hongyi smiled and said helplessly: "This is the decision I made."

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Ouyang suddenly realized that Liu Hongyi was unwilling to "implicate" Fang Zimu, and was at a loss for words. This young "baby secretary" was truly responsible.

However, since he accepted the order from the municipal party secretary, he must complete the task.

"Secretary Liu, I completely understand how you feel. How about this: we should conduct the interview first, and we'll write the manuscript first. You can report to Secretary Fang Zimu whether you want to publish it or not."

The daily newspaper would never dare to publish such an important news report without Fang Zimu's signature.

It should be said that Deputy Editor-in-Chief Ouyang’s proposal is very reasonable.

Soon, the editors and reporters of the daily newspaper finished their interviews in Zhuang'an. To ensure that the report was fully detailed and well-founded, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Ouyang, accompanied by Zhuang'an County Party Committee Secretary Liu Hongyi and Propaganda Minister Zhou Ping, also went to the districts and towns below, took many photos, and interviewed many farmers in the fields and ordinary workers in the factories. He also interviewed several grassroots cadres and recorded their answers truthfully.
