Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

Ai Gaofeng was stunned for a moment, then said, "Three to five years, no more than five years."

Bian Zhicheng laughed: "Are you so sure?"

Ai Gaofeng said bluntly, "Secretary Zhicheng, it's not that I, Ai Gaofeng, am proud, but...if Daning continues to follow its current approach, waiting and watching everything, waiting for other places to succeed before doing anything else, then it's only a matter of time before it's surpassed by Chuzhou."

"Hahaha, Gao Feng, you're really straightforward...Okay, then let me ask you, if you were the First Secretary of the Daning Municipal Party Committee, how would you ensure that Daning wouldn't be caught up with or even surpassed by Chuzhou?"

Ai Gaofeng was stunned and said, "Secretary Zhicheng, this topic is too big. I can't say for sure right now..."

"Haha, you, Ai Gaofeng, are being humble now? This is not like your character."

"I've already told you, don't hold back. Just say whatever comes to mind. I'd also like to hear what insights you have."

Ai Gaofeng couldn't help but laugh, and a surge of pride surged in his chest. "Secretary Zhicheng, since you say so, then I'll just go ahead and say it... I believe that emancipating the mind and loosening policies should always be the top priority."

Bian Zhicheng shook his head and said, "These two sentences are being said all over the country, but how many places can actually put them into practice?"

Ai Gaofeng agreed and said, "Secretary Zhicheng, you are right. The key is to put it into practice."

"No matter from which aspect, Daning has the best foundation in our province. Whether it's the industrial base or the talent pool, no other city in the province can compare."

"As long as we can put those who really want to do things and can do them in the right positions, they can play a huge role. If we don't allow those who really want to do things to come forward, it won't work. No matter how good the foundation is, it won't work."

Bian Zhicheng rubbed his forehead and said, "Gao Feng, you're aware of the situation in the province now. There are too many veteran comrades... Many have been idle for years. It's hard to implement the policy, and if you don't assign them a suitable position, it won't work. But some veteran comrades are indeed quite rigid in their thinking. They may be upright, but they lack the courage to think and fight."

"You might say he's inactive, but he works diligently every day, reading documents, attending meetings, and inspecting work when necessary. He also does a great job completing tasks assigned by his superiors."

"But he just couldn't accept some new things and new ideas. He always felt that these things were bad and shouldn't be done."

"There are not just one or two people like this, but a large number of them, including Comrade Li He. How can we push forward the work in Daning?"

Bian Zhicheng said this, feeling a bit annoyed and a bit helpless.

Comrade Li He refers to the current Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Deputy Director of a Provincial Committee, First Secretary of the Daning Municipal Party Committee, and Director of a Municipal Committee.

The true top leader of Daning City.

In later generations, Li He's position would be equivalent to deputy secretary of the Jingjiang Provincial Party Committee, deputy governor of the provincial government, and secretary and mayor of Daning Municipal Party Committee.

Li He is the kind of old comrade that Bian Zhicheng mentioned.

He implemented policies in the past few years and has served as the top leader of Daning City ever since.

He is already in his sixties.

When it comes to such an old comrade, Ai Gaofeng is unable to express his opinion and can only remain silent.

"Tell me, I know you have something on your mind, just say it out loud."

Bian Zhicheng then said.

"There are only two of us here."

At this point, if Ai Gaofeng remained silent, it would be considered "disrespectful" to the First Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. He immediately said, "Secretary Zhicheng, if you follow my advice, there are two ways to resolve this situation."

"Oh?"

Bian Zhicheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"There are two other options?"

"Secretary Zhicheng, this is what I think. Veteran comrades have made great contributions in the past and are all meritorious officials. Now they are mainly old and lack energy, and are slow to accept new things. Therefore, we still need to give them enough respect."
