Chapter 313 I'll handle this.
Publicly acknowledging David's leadership role has significant political implications.
Most people don't know the development process of a project; they can only see the result.
Liu Zhiming's public statements constitute an authoritative release of the results.
Most people would believe what Liu Zhiming said.
David believed that someone as intelligent, patient, and experienced in officialdom as Liu Zhiming would understand this political tacit understanding—David would support him wholeheartedly, and Liu would also give David appropriate positive feedback.
When Liu Zhiming saw that Dawei was unusually humble when he came today, he guessed that Dawei had a purpose in coming.
As for the purpose, Liu Zhiming still needed to probe.
"County Chief Chen is too modest."
Although I am a few years older, you are more mature than me politically.
If there are any mistakes or omissions that need to be pointed out, it should be you who points them out to me.
After saying that, Gongjing held the teapot in both hands and poured some tea for Dawei.
David bent two fingers and tapped his knuckles on the table—a local custom—before speaking in a kind tone: "Everyone makes mistakes."
We are both mortals, how could we be wrong?
We are comrades, and I hope we can become friends.
Just like Secretary Zhikai and I.
Friends point out each other's mistakes, and comrades help each other.
The two made progress together.
Frequent criticism and self-criticism among each other can better help each other improve.
If you, Executive Director Liu, don't criticize me, it means you don't trust me, Chen Dawei.
I feel panicked.
In the second half of the year, the county government's workload will be exceptionally heavy.
The county plans to launch several new projects in the second half of the year, and also needs to catch up with the county government work plan and targets set by Xie Changhe and his team at the beginning of the year.
We all know what the situation is like in our county over the past six months—what has the county government been doing?
The pressure is mounting all the way into the second half of the year.
Sometimes, thinking about these things keeps me up all night.
You have to help me, Executive Director Liu.
Seeing Dawei's sincere attitude, Liu Zhiming understood a lot more. He realized that Dawei's purpose in coming here was to make friends, but in reality, he wanted Liu Zhiming to give him an attitude and a guarantee on the agricultural, cultural and tourism project in order to put his mind at ease.
"Yuanshan County was ruined by those people."
But now it's all good, you've made it up.
County Chief Chen, rest assured.
I promise to do my best in everything the county assigns me and not let them down.
As for criticism and self-criticism, Liu Zhiming didn't respond.
That was just them being polite.
"I feel much more at ease knowing you said that." David took the initiative to shake his hand.
It wasn't a very formal handshake; it was just reaching out and briefly grasping the back of the other person's hand.
Such contact, at the right time and place, can quickly break the ice, give a signal that you trust the other party very much, and tell the opponent that you consider him one of your own.
Because only people who are very familiar with each other—especially adult male friends—would have such physical contact.
Dawei has long, slender, fair fingers and warm, smooth palms.
Most people wouldn't reject it.
Liu Zhiming glanced down at the back of his hand, blinked, and pondered for a moment. Why was County Chief Chen being so enthusiastic?
Isn't it our duty to do our job well?
Liu Zhiming further speculated that perhaps what Dawei wanted was not just his promise and guarantee.
Since the other party is being so attentive, I should reciprocate in kind.
"County Chief Chen need not worry too much."
I believe that under your leadership, the county government will definitely achieve a great success in the second half of the year.
Now that the project is in place, the personnel have been adjusted, and there is increasing support from above.
Why worry about not developing?
I am very confident.
With you and Director Ding overseeing this pilot project on agriculture, culture, and tourism in the province, I have no worries at all.
David had been waiting for these words, and he laughed happily upon hearing them.
The process of not explicitly stating it, but constantly testing each other, is actually a process of confirming each other's strength.
To survive in this place, you need to understand unspoken meanings, see through people's hearts, and avoid giving anyone a handle to use against you.
Therefore, everyone was very careful with their words.
After their conversation, Dawei and Executive Director Liu had established a basic foundation of trust, and they could now begin their cooperation.
After the business was finished, David needed to reciprocate with something personal.
"I heard from Director Wu that your sister-in-law wasn't happy with her previous job, so she resigned from the bank and has been staying at home for more than half a year?"
"Hey—" Executive Director Liu waved his hand helplessly: "Family scandal."
My wife is too stubborn.
The bank manager personally spoke to her, asking her to approve a loan of several hundred thousand yuan for a company.
She had to be serious.
They claimed that the materials provided by others were suspected of being falsified.
Doesn't the bank manager know whether it's fake or not?
If you sign the document with your eyes closed, you'll get a bonus, receive praise from the bank manager, and have a smoother promotion process.
They insist on confronting people head-on.
As a result, she refused to sign, but even after someone else signed, she persisted in her complaint and threatened to report it to a higher-level bank.
you say……
Who could stand that temper?
Naturally, people started to make things difficult for them.
My salary is enough to support them, mother and daughter, for the time being.
I told her to learn calligraphy at home and read more books in her spare time to help her temper.
What sounds like criticism of his wife is actually full of praise for her dedication to her duties, while the branch manager is a bad element who violates rules and regulations and may even break the law.
"My sister-in-law is a good person."
I'm here to greet the leaders of their provincial branch.
The branch manager is incompetent and needs to be replaced.
I had already heard rumors that without giving gifts, you couldn't get a loan at all.
Many of those who received loans after giving gifts were unable to repay them, resulting in bad debts.
When the branch manager of this remote mountain county encountered bad debts, he shifted the blame onto his subordinates.
Such a person in this position is seriously affecting the financial order of our county.
This approach won't work.
Our county government has no authority over other people's banks.
Someone can manage it.
I'll handle this.
It's not appropriate for you to show up in person.
Replace the bank manager, and then invite your sister-in-law back to the bank.
Our financial system needs principled people like my sister-in-law.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhiming showed gratitude, but his heart was filled with unease. He had always fought alone and had to endure any losses.
Since he doesn't take sides, naturally no one will help him.
He was touched, yet also somewhat frightened—or rather, flattered—by Chen Dawei's sudden support.
But since he had already chosen to be on Chen Dawei's side, he couldn't back down.
"This, this is too much trouble for you..."
"Not at all. Your sister-in-law has a job, so she won't be watching you all the time, hehehe."
A joke broke the tension, and Liu Zhiming laughed along.
"That's true... She actually really wants to go back."
Resigning was a forced decision.
If the bank manager could be replaced, she would be 100% willing to go back.
I... I don't know how to thank you enough.
David raised his hand to stop him: "Let's not talk about those things between us. As friends, this is what we should do."
When your family is harmonious, your work will go more smoothly.
Oh, right.
Executive Director Liu, I have a question that's not on the main topic.
That's right, you've always been cautious, and you tend to postpone things whenever possible.
Why did you agree to take on the responsibility for agricultural, cultural, and tourism matters this time?
I'm just genuinely curious.
How exactly did Secretary Zhikai convince you?
