Chapter 1704 Hong Village

After finishing his polite remarks, Hou Chunyu began to introduce the officials around him.

The first one was a fat man with dark skin and a stout build.

"Secretary Liu, let me introduce you. This is the mayor of Chaojiang City, Gu Hongcheng. From now on, the two of you will work together as a team. Mayor Gu is a very easy-going person, and he has unique attainments in calligraphy. He is also the honorary chairman of the Chaojiang City Calligraphy Association, and a director of the Guangdong Province and National Calligraphy Association."

Liu Fusheng smiled and shook hands with Gu Hongcheng, saying, "I have long admired you. I will definitely learn a lot from you in the future."

Gu Hongcheng smiled and said, "Secretary Liu is a young talent. We have all heard about your deeds in Fengliao Province and have long admired you. It is our honor to work with you."

Hou Chunyu then introduced another thin man with a gloomy face and said, "This is Chen Zixing, the secretary of the Jiangtou Municipal Party Committee."

Liu Fusheng shook hands with Chen Zixing and said, "Hello, Secretary Chen."

Chen Zixing smiled. He was not as enthusiastic as Gu Hongcheng. When shaking hands, he even squeezed Liu Fusheng hard, as if in protest.

Liu Fusheng was a little disapproving of this. There was no need to make the hostility so obvious, right?

Finally, Hou Chunyu introduced Zhao Qiuwei, the secretary of the Jiyang Municipal Party Committee, to Liu Fusheng.

Secretary Zhao was probably in his fifties, with an honest look and a polite smile. He was not as talkative as Gu Hongcheng, nor did he show a bad face to others like Chen Zixing. There was a sense of distance in his politeness.

After the main leaders were introduced, Hou Chunyu turned his attention to Gu Hongcheng.

Gu Hongcheng smiled and said, "Secretary Liu, in addition to our government officials, there are also many Chaojiang City private entrepreneurs and representatives from all walks of life who are here to greet you today."

As he spoke, Gu Hongcheng turned around and looked at the dozens of people behind him.

Liu Fusheng greeted them and then said to Gu Hongcheng: "The leaders of Chaojiang City and friends from all walks of life are so enthusiastic. It's hot today, let's find a shady place first, and then greet friends from all walks of life one by one?"

Liu Fusheng was not used to the climate in eastern Guangdong Province. After being in the sun for two or three minutes, he was already sweating all over.

He thought his proposal was normal, but unexpectedly, Gu Hongcheng looked embarrassed.

The representatives from all walks of life also began to stir slightly.

A middle-aged man with a crew cut and a handsome appearance said with a smile: "When Secretary Liu was in Fengliao Province, he always emphasized serving the people and doing practical things for the people. He often went to the grassroots to listen to the opinions of the people and mingled with the people. He was a good leader and cadre who was deeply loved by the people. How come he became a leader who was afraid of the sun and hardship when he came to Guangdong Province?"

"Could it be that the reports we heard about Fengliao Province were just propaganda?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

A man next to the crew cut spoke in unstandard Mandarin, trying to smooth things over: "Old Hong, you may have misunderstood Secretary Liu. Secretary Liu is a native of the north, so he can certainly be condescending to his fellow countrymen, but we are not fellow countrymen, so Secretary Liu doesn't have to be so hypocritical with us. We should be more understanding of the leader's difficulties, don't you think?"

"Correct."

"Makes sense."

“You must be considerate of your leaders.”

When representatives from all walks of life heard this, they spoke out in agreement.

The middle-aged man named Lao Hong sneered and said, "That makes sense. Since Secretary Liu doesn't consider us his own people, there's no need for us to stay and spoil the fun. After all, Secretary Liu only values ​​leading cadres. We ordinary people are nothing... Let's go!"

After saying that, he turned and left without stopping at all.

Seeing this, other people from all walks of life followed Lao Hong. In less than a minute, more than half of the welcoming team at the scene were dispersed.

The atmosphere now became awkward.

Gu Hongcheng shook his head and sighed, his face full of regret, but Liu Fusheng could see that there was a deep smile hidden in his eyes.

Liu Fusheng thought: "This guy really wants me to make a fool of myself? Is this a way of showing off his power to me?"

Gu Hongcheng said: "Secretary Liu, please forgive me, they are used to being wild, doing business, lack of discipline, haha."

Faced with this situation, Hou Chunyu from the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department should have stepped forward to smooth things over, and even helped Liu Fusheng to criticize the Chaojiang leaders.

But at this moment, even if a cadre from the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee signaled him with his eyes, Hou Chunyu just looked up at the sky and did not show any expression.

It turned out that this guy had been working in the province all along and had no idea about the competitive relationship between the Tang and Bai families. Before he came to Chaojiang City, he was personally interviewed by Tang Shaoying, the full-time deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.

At that time, Tang Shaoying said: "Chaojiang City has a very special status in East Guangdong Province. When you go to receive Secretary Liu Fusheng, try not to make the local people and representatives of Chaojiang City feel unhappy. In principle, all matters should be led by the local leaders of Chaojiang. Do you understand?"

"understand."

Hou Chunyu nodded repeatedly.

He remembered what Secretary Tang meant - the local leaders of Chaojiang are our own people. It is normal for Secretary Liu Fusheng, who was parachuted in, to be criticized. Everything must be based on the interests of the local leaders of Chaojiang.

If it were someone else, facing this situation, it would definitely be very embarrassing.

I lost my prestige as soon as I got off the plane. How can I carry out my future work?

Liu Fusheng has a strong psychological quality and did not show any anxious expression.

He looked at the middle-aged man who was leading the way and shouted, "Mr. Hong, my original plan for coming to Chaojiang City was to go to your Hong Village first for tea... I didn't expect that plans couldn't keep up with changes!"

"Ok?"

The middle-aged man surnamed Hong paused, turned his head and looked at Liu Fusheng and said, "Going to Hong Village for tea? Do you know who I am?"

Liu Fusheng said: "Mr. Hong Chengli, the chairman of Jiangtou Hong Group, is also the village chief of Hong Village. Am I right?"

Hong Chengli nodded and said, "I didn't expect that Secretary Liu actually knew me."

Liu Fusheng smiled slightly. The material that Li Hongliang gave him recorded the detailed situation of Hong Village, including the photo of Hong Chengli in the newspaper, because Hong Village was one of the typical representatives of the clans in Chaojiang area. In name, it was the largest clan in Chaojiang.

There are thousands of people with the surname Hong in the entire village. Together with the collateral villagers who are related to them, the total population is as high as 30,000 to 40,000. Although the administrative planning is that of a village, the population is equivalent to that of a town.

Li Hongliang specifically emphasized that Hongcun is an independent kingdom in Jiangtou City. The villagers respect the clan leader, and major events must be discussed by the clan leader and other elders after the ancestral hall is opened to worship the ancestors.

Anyone who violates clan rules will be lynched.

At present, the patriarch of Hong Village is Hong Chengli.
