Chapter 68 A Different Inauguration Banquet

The banquet hall of Zhangjiagang Municipal Government Guesthouse was filled with joy. Countless people sat upright at the dining table, celebrating banners hung around, and melodious music was filled with ears.

Today is a festive day, but today is not a festive day. Today is just the inauguration ceremony for the former mayor of Zhangjiagang City Han Jianfeng to take office as secretary of Zhangjiagang City Party Committee. According to custom, the Municipal Party Committee Office arranged another grand banquet after the ceremony to celebrate.

Although many of the people at the scene were cadres promoted by Liu Jianghai, now they seem to have no memory of what they were fighting against Han Jianfeng before, and they just smiled and celebrated Han Jianfeng. But this is normal. After all, Liu Jianghai has been transferred out of Zhangjiagang. The so-called "treat the tree falls and the money is scattered. Liu Jianghai is already in his fifties and has little chance of climbing up. In addition, Han Jianfeng takes over as the first-in-command position, and if he doesn't go up and sells it at this time, wouldn't he seek death?

As Han Jianfeng's capable assistant, Chen Ping also appeared at the venue as a clerk. He looked at the faces around him who were slightly guilty and nervous but had to make a smile, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh for them in his heart.

Chen Ping knew that they didn't need to be nervous now, because the things they were worried about Han Jianfeng's settlement in the future would not happen at all, at least not now.

You should know that no matter how high Han Jianfeng is, he has been transferred to Zhangjiagang City for only two years, and his foundation is still very shallow. Especially when a confrontation between the party and government organs broke out some time ago, the relevant departments at the higher level will definitely not want to see anything happening to Zhangjiagang again. Therefore, no matter whether Han Jianfeng is considering the overall situation or other aspects, he will not be able to pursue the future account.

Just as Chen Ping was thinking, he suddenly walked onto the rostrum alone. Chen Ping knew this person, Feng Jin, director of the Municipal Party Committee Office. He first helped to give the microphone a try, and then said: "Today is a memorable day for me, Zhangjiagang. Just today, according to the arrangements of the superior party organization, Comrade Han Jianfeng will officially take over as Secretary of the Zhangjiagang Municipal Party Committee."

Thunderous applause sounded below, and then Feng Jin continued: "Secretary Han was the mayor of Zhangjiagang City. He was honest and upright and honest. He was brave in innovation in his work. It was his spirit of seeking truth from facts and scientific development that led our Zhangjiagang City's economic level to a higher level. Now, the appointment of him as the secretary of the municipal party committee shows the importance the organization attaches to him. So please use the warmest applause to welcome Secretary Han to deliver an inaugural speech to us on this grand occasion! Welcome everyone!"

The applause sounded again, and at the same time, Han Jianfeng walked up to the rostrum in a suit and reached out to suppress it. The applause of the audience suddenly became weaker.

Han Jianfeng was very satisfied with the effect of calming the audience with just one look. So after scanning the audience for a while, he said: "The superior party organization appointed me as the secretary of the Zhangjiagang Municipal Party Committee. This is a great responsibility and pressure. As one of the few deputy prefecture-level cities in the country, my Zhangjiagang is close to Suzhou and Shanghai. It has obvious location advantages, a strong economic foundation, and a very important position. The previous city leadership teams have laid a good foundation for Zhangjiagang's work. We must cherish it very much and continuously consolidate and develop the good situation in Zhangjiagang."

Han Jianfeng said: "Assing as the secretary of the municipal party committee is a new test for me. I must humbly learn from the old seniors, old comrades, members of all teams, and all party members and masses, strive to be people-oriented, govern for the people, always keep the safety and well-being of the masses in my heart, and serve the people wholeheartedly; insist on seeking truth and being pragmatic, work hard, concentrate on doing my career and implement it; be honest and self-disciplined, strictly demand yourself, manage your family members and staff around you, and consciously accept supervision from the party organization and the people."

"We must fully implement the scientific outlook on development, and in accordance with the overall requirements of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee for Zhangjiagang's work, and on the good foundation laid by the previous municipal leadership team, give full play to the wisdom and strength of the municipal party committee, rely closely on the city's party members, cadres and masses, deepen reforms, expand opening up, work hard to drive and promote the city's economic development. At the same time, we must attach great importance to improving people's plans and livelihood, effectively solve the most concerned, most direct and most realistic interests issues, and strive to build a socialist harmonious society." Han Jianfeng said, "The development of Zhangjiagang is in a critical period. I am confident that I will build Zhangjiagang more prosperous and will never let down the ardent hopes of the Party and the people. Thank you."

Although Han Jianfeng's inauguration remarks were basically all empty words and clichés, and there was no real word, it still received warm applause from the bottom.

Amid the applause, Han Jianfeng handed the microphone to the leader who was going to speak later. This is also the general procedure of the inaugural banquet. First, the inaugural top leader came to the stage to express his opinion, and then sorted by level and qualifications. Acting mayor, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, secretary of the discipline inspection committee, director of the organization, and other members of the municipal standing committee must speak, as well as the deputy director of the National People's Congress and the chairman of the CPPCC. They also have to deliver their speeches one by one.

Originally, when everyone talked about it, this smelly and long speech should end, but after the speech of the last municipal standing committee member, Feng Jin, director of the municipal party committee office, ended, Han Jianfeng returned to the stage again.

At this moment, the audience was stunned. They had no idea what the newly appointed municipal party secretary was coming back to do, so they had to wait and see.

Then, at the attention of the audience, Han Jianfeng took the microphone from Feng Jin and said, "After listening to all the comrades' comments, I, the squad leader, have a deep touch, but it also makes me feel relieved. I believe that with the support of such cadres and comrades, our Zhangjiagang will definitely be able to go to a higher level."

Han Jianfeng said: "Everyone must be very surprised. Why I am back? In fact, I am not because I have nothing to say, but because I want to introduce to you a young comrade, who is a native of Zhangjiagang, graduated from Suzhou University. He is a good comrade with extensive knowledge, quick thinking, high political awareness, and diligent and studious name. His name is Chen Ping, and everyone welcomes Comrade Chen Ping to the stage."

Hearing Han Jianfeng's words, Chen Ping, who was sitting in the corner, was stunned. Although he had already had a premonition that something was wrong before coming, after all, this kind of high-standard banquet was not something he could only attend, and before that, Han Jianfeng also asked him to show off.

However, at that time, Chen Ping never expected that Han Jianfeng would introduce himself so grandly in front of all the cadres at the municipal level and above, as well as industrial and commercial representatives in this banquet.

This scene reminded Chen Ping of a familiar scene he had seen on TV. It was in the Great Hall of the People. The current President of the People also introduced two new comrades in front of all the senior officials. This is very similar to what he is experiencing now.

If it were someone else, I would be surprised on the spot, but Chen Ping did not. Although Han Jianfeng's sudden attack surprised him, he was a person who could seize the opportunity, so he immediately got up and talked without any fright in front of the leaders of the audience.
