The Official Ladder: I ascend to the pinnacle of power, wielding the power of life and death.

The people in the park were in a somber mood, but for Xigou Township, it was a time of great joy. Upon learning that the county had assigned them a capable assistant, Lu Hansheng, the township party secretary, Zhao Mingyuan, the township head, and a group of township officials were all very happy.

After Zhao Zhenlin, the head of the Organization Department of the County Party Committee, announced the appointment, Lu Hansheng, the Party Secretary of the Township, immediately made a statement.

"We are very grateful to the leaders of the county party committee, the county government, and the organization department for sending us such capable personnel. We extend a warm welcome to Comrade Jiang Yiming."

At noon, Zhao Zhenlin did not go back. Instead, the group went to the village secretary's house downstairs, got some wild game, cooked a few home-style dishes, and started drinking.

Jiang Yiming had dealt with Lu Hansheng and Zhao Mingyuan before, especially Lu Hansheng. The two had even drunk together several times and were quite familiar with each other.

As for Zhao Mingyuan, since he was the deputy director of the county government office and mainly served the county head, they belonged to two different camps. The two did not interact much, but they were aware of each other's existence.

We're both working in the same township now, and we've become much warmer towards each other.

After seeing Zhao Zhenlin off, the township held a Party committee meeting and announced the division of labor.

"In addition to being in charge of large-scale agriculture, Party building, organization, and personnel, Comrade Jiang Yiming, please take the time to develop the industry in our township as well."

Lu Hansheng announced the division of labor results.

"I will follow the secretary's instructions."

Jiang Yiming didn't care; his main purpose in coming here was to prevent the floods from happening.

As for industry, to be honest, Xigou Township is located in a remote area with poor infrastructure. It would be impossible to develop industry without ten or eight years of effort.

Therefore, although he took over the project, he did not focus his energy on it, but instead prepared to focus on agricultural development.

Xigou Township has a large arable land area and is located in a plain area, which is suitable for planting and raising many things. Developing agricultural production is more in line with the local conditions of Xigou Township and is more likely to yield results.

The next morning, Jiang Yiming led a group of agricultural staff, including the deputy township head in charge of agriculture, the director of the agricultural committee, and personnel from the agricultural machinery, aquatic products, and animal husbandry departments, to the countryside for research.

Meanwhile, the provincial assessment team, accompanied by Vice Mayor Meng Jichun, arrived in Xinping County.

Jiang Xuangui, Secretary of the Xinping County Party Committee, Zhang Yuntao, County Mayor, Liu Hui, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of the Industrial Park, and others attended the welcoming ceremony.

The welcoming ceremony proceeded in a friendly and cheerful atmosphere. After all, everyone knew that this assessment was just a formality, since the province had already made a preliminary decision and the plan was unlikely to change.

In the afternoon, Vice Mayor Meng Jichun, Xinping County Mayor Zhang Yuntao, and Industrial Park Party Secretary Liu Hui accompanied the assessment team to the park for assessment.

One of the tasks was to visit and survey companies in the park and distribute questionnaires.

The first one is Xin Xin Food Company, which is now the largest food production company in the local area.

However, to everyone's surprise, the assessment team was turned away.

"The provincial assessment team is here! Open the door quickly!"

The park staff shouted loudly.

However, the company staff ignored it.

Vice Mayor Meng Jichun's face was extremely gloomy. He immediately reprimanded Zhang Yuntao: "Zhang Yuntao, what kind of work are you doing? The assessment team came to conduct the assessment, and you couldn't even get into the company. If word gets out, where will we, Yiyang City, put our face?"

Zhang Yuntao's face was also extremely ugly. He started yelling at Liu Hui, "Liu Hui, what kind of person are you to be the secretary of the industrial park? If you can't do the job, then pack your bags and get out! Look at the mess you've made!"

"I'm giving you five minutes. You must get the assessment team into the company smoothly."

Liu Hui's forehead was covered in sweat. She hadn't expected things to turn out this way. After all, it was impossible for her to personally handle the task of notifying various companies to cooperate.

"We notified everyone yesterday, so how did this happen?"

Liu Hui questioned Zhang Fan, the newly appointed office director.

"Secretary, I did call them one by one yesterday to notify them, and they all said they received it. I never expected Xinxin Food Company to pull this stunt."

Zhang Fan felt incredibly wronged.

"Call Sun Yuxiu immediately and ask her to come out and greet us in person."

Liu Hui didn't have time to investigate the matter; she just wanted to get her people inside as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the longer the assessment team stands outside, the angrier the leader will become.

"I've called, I've called many times, but Mr. Sun just won't answer."

Zhang Fan's face was full of anxiety.

"Give me the number, I'll call it myself."

After Liu Hui got the phone number, she made several calls, but no one answered.

"Call the people around her and try every possible way to find Sun Yuxiu."

Liu Hui was extremely anxious and ordered someone to communicate with the factory gatekeeper.

"Uncle, let us in. We're from the industrial park."

"No, Ms. Sun said that no one can be let in without her order."

The gatekeeper said with a very firm tone.

After all, no matter how high the rank of these officials is, it has nothing to do with him.

He only listens to his boss.

Liu Hui was furious. She wanted to order a forced entry, but the assessment team was right there, and she couldn't bear the consequences of doing so.

Liu Hui could only continue to try to contact Sun Yuxiu.

Not only her, but Zhang Yuntao also personally called Sun Yuxiu.

Time passed second by second, and Meng Jichun's face had turned completely black.

Fine beads of sweat began to appear on Zhang Yuntao's forehead.

Finally, Sun Yuxiu's call went through.

"Sun Yuxiu, where are you?"

Liu Hui asked in an unfriendly tone.

"Who are you? Do I need to report my location to you?"

After Sun Yuxiu finished speaking, she hung up the phone immediately.

"..."

Hearing the busy tone from the receiver, Liu Hui was so angry she almost smashed her phone.

"You call Sun Yuxiu!"

Liu Hui said to Zhang Fan.

The call connected quickly, and Liu Hui snatched the phone, saying, "President Sun, this is Liu Hui, the Party Secretary of the Industrial Park. Where are you?"

His voice was urgent, but it lacked the previous arrogance.

"Oh, Secretary Liu, I'm at the company. What can I do for you?"

Sun Yuxiu said slowly and deliberately.

"The provincial assessment team has arrived and needs to go in for investigation. Please open the door and cooperate."

"I'm sorry, I'm very busy and don't have time to deal with the assessment team. You should go to another company."

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.

Liu Hui almost went crazy and quickly ran to Meng Jichun and Zhang Yuntao to report Sun Yuxiu's words.

"What is Sun Yuxiu up to? Why isn't she cooperating?"

Zhang Yuntao, looking displeased, took out his phone and dialed again.

“Sun Yuxiu, the park has already notified you, and you should know the importance of this assessment team’s arrival. Why are you still not cooperating? What exactly do you want?”

Zhang Yuntao said with a face full of anger.
