Chapter 2391 - 2391

Liu Zhizhong didn't organize his speech, he just improvised it.

The other leaders were all reading from scripts, some even read it wrong, but it didn't matter much.

When Liu Zhizhong started speaking, there were people who were shocked in the audience. The leaders on stage were also quite surprised!

It seems the new mayor really has some skills.

However, after Liu Zhizhong finished his introductory pleasantries and started delivering the substance, everyone was shocked!

Liu Zhizhong said:

"I know what kind of town Linxi is, its economic, cultural, and political ecology, I have a clear understanding."

"In such a place, it's not right to say there's no hope, and definitely not despair. Because here, there are thirty thousand elders and folks surviving, accompanying us, and also expecting us to bring them some welfare and services."

"So, Liu Zhizhong came here to fight alongside everyone, and also to serve all the townspeople together. Currently, the things I am envisioning might still be immature, but there's no harm in letting everyone know my intentions!"

"Firstly, I was reassigned from the City Culture and Tourism Bureau, can also say exiled. Since most of those present here know my background, I will boldly admit it. It appears that I have no political future, the same goes for all of you, right?"

"Hahaha..."

The leaders both below and on the stage couldn't help it and laughed together.

This welcome conference for the new mayor seems a bit different.

Liu Zhizhong continued: "Political future is not important to us now; what's important is what we can actually do. As mayor, my first order of business is to deeply immerse in the grassroots, delve into villages, and investigate the real situations. I won't just sit in the office signing documents. I will spend three months descending into every village and community. For those colleagues expected to accompany me if afraid of hardship and fatigue, you don't need to go, I can drive there by myself."

The entire crowd went silent.

This guy, is he really going to implement three measures when taking office?

Descending into the villages, is he serious?

It sounds kind of interesting.

Liu Zhizhong continued: "After descending into the villages, I will form my report on the entire town's officials. A report for each village, a report for each community, each report will not be less than ten thousand words, covering economic culture, population structure, and so on in detail."

The whole crowd was shocked.

This town has two communities and 22 administrative villages!

A report of over 240,000 words???

Anyway, it scared everyone!

Some couldn't even believe it, is this just bragging?

Secretary Yang Ze Ping was dumbfounded, looking towards Liu Zhizhong several times, feeling this young fellow is not a reckless youth, why doing things so rashly? What's the necessity? Writing so many words, will anyone actually read it?

Liu Zhizhong was very serious, extremely serious!

He then continued: "This is my first measure; if it affects anyone present, please forgive me!"

This instantly piqued everyone's interest again.

This guy, what is he planning?

When it comes to personal interests, everyone listens more attentively, wanting to understand the reason.

However, Liu Zhizhong shifted gears, directly said: "My second measure is road construction! As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, first build roads! Our Linxi Town has long been impoverished, lacking interaction with the outside world, indeed largely due to our transportation."

"Within our town, there is only an old, narrow county road, extremely inconvenient for traffic. And this section of the road, due to our town's elongated east-west orientation, is actually 30 kilometers away from the neighboring town. These 30 kilometers must be widened into dual carriageways with bidirectional non-motor vehicle lanes during my tenure; the motor vehicle lane to be 5 meters wide; non-motor vehicle lane 2 meters wide, this is the basic requirement."

My goodness...

When this was said, the whole audience was shocked.

This practically calls for a freeway!

Even rural five-star roads don't have these standards, right?

Where did this lead? Liu Zhizhong's speech is still continuing: "To clear this 30 kilometers leading to the main urban area, there's still 70 kilometers of county roads left, although managed by the other three towns, but we also need to construct, according to the same standards. Clearing these 100 kilometers will reduce our travel time to Dongnan City's main urban area and our superior Dongjiang District's main urban area to within an hour, which is bound to greatly benefit our development."

When this was said, the audience immediately exploded.

The leaders on stage had gloomy faces, but hadn't acted yet, while the small cadres below were already restless.

Someone stood up and shouted: "Mayor Liu, it's not that I'm opposing you, or disrespecting you, isn't this idea a bit far-fetched?"

Liu Zhizhong looked at that dark-faced middle-aged cadre, smiling: "Hmm, far-fetched, how so?"

The person wasn't afraid, directly saying: "Firstly, building such a good road is practically a freeway, you actually expect the speed to reach 100 kilometers per hour? That's unrealistic. Because there are too many villages along the way, villagers would also access this road, your vehicle speed is too fast; villagers generally ride tricycles, oil motorcycles, electric scooters, you're aiming for numerous accidents? Some domestic unclosed freeways have accidents every year, precisely because there are too many village intersections! If you completely seal it off, how convenient would it be for the villagers? Just convenient for cadres to return to the city, right? Then who are the non-motor vehicle lanes for?"

"Hahaha..."

The audience burst into laughter, the atmosphere lively, everyone seemed to have forgotten about eating lunch and the main courses, feeling it's quite fun to bicker with the new mayor. Now it seems, this is an immature youth, not as outstanding as rumored!

Yang Ze Ping almost couldn't stand it, quickly slapped the table, pointing at the dark-faced cadre: "Meng Xiaohu, are you dumb? Watch your words!"

Liu Zhizhong, however, smiled: "Secretary Yang, don't get mad, this Mr. Meng is very correct! He's brave, speaking out what many want to say! In the future, he can work in our town's Discipline Inspection Office!"

His little humor made everyone laugh again.

Meng Xiaohu said: "Mayor Liu, I'm just a junior staffer at the town's Discipline Inspection Office, hehe..."

Liu Zhizhong laughed, saying: "Hmm, nice! Your concerns just now will be considered in future road designs, won't be an issue."

"So, even if we can build our town's 30 kilometers, but what about the 70 kilometers in other towns, how to fix them? Do they even want to spend money on construction? A 100-kilometer freeway, it's no small amount! We're all poor!"
