Chapter 732: Take it out for a walk, make a big deal
Celebration parties in all prefecture-level cities in Lingnan started at 6:30. Among the dozen cities, the activities in Linghe City and the provincial capital are the most eye-catching. In terms of the number of people, the provincial capital stadiums are as high as more than 50,000, while the total number of Linghe City is less than 30,000.
The atmosphere of the provincial capital stadium is crowded with people, and various banners, slogans, glow sticks and lights are particularly beautiful like the stars in the Milky Way. The venue in Linghe City seems very quiet. Everyone is sitting in their seats consciously, and there is no louder chatting or joking. Some young men and women will be strongly advised by people around them.
Amid the crowds' applause, Mo Huaimin and a group of old people who were once respected by the people, as well as Fang Dehui and Zhou Xiliang, as well as leaders of Kyoto ministries and commissions, walked from the main passage in the middle of the venue to the first row to take their seats.
This shot appeared in the eyes of everyone in the country through the live broadcast of Lingnan TV, and caused a huge sensation. In hundreds of prefecture-level cities and sub-provincial cities across the country, at least 80% of leaders were jealous, and 20% were envious. Linghe City and Gao Jianbin were going to become national news again this time. If this continues, will others not be able to survive?
The last time when Linghe High-tech Development Zone was established, thirteen Fortune 500 companies signed an investment agreement of US$200 billion, becoming the largest investment project in the country in the year. Many people were heartbroken at that time. This time, there was another even more amazing thing. Once upon a time, I saw national leaders and so many old leaders appearing at the celebration party in prefecture-level cities?
The crystal floor lamp at the party suddenly went out, and all the lights were aimed at the center of the stage. The audience's eyes were also focused at this moment. Accompanied by warm applause, four hosts in festive costumes walked onto the stage. It was Li Rong, Chen Jierou, Song Xiangyu and Ye Ruoyan.
Tonight, they simply wore the festival costumes of ethnic minorities, which were as beautiful as the bright moon in the sky. The audience was dazzled and praised them, especially their costumes and dressed up very much.
Everyone knows that the four golden flowers of Linghe City TV are the top beauties, but most people have only seen them hosting programs on TV. This is the first time they have seen a real person at such a close distance.
Li Rong said with a sweet smile: "Dear leaders, leaders, friends from all over the world. Good evening everyone from Linghe City!"
Chen Jierou said: "The golden autumn is full of fruits and the earth celebrates the harvest. Today we gather here to celebrate the birthday of our great motherland together."
Song Xiangyu said: "The majestic national anthem is everywhere in every corner of the motherland. With this exciting melody, we seem to hear the words said to the whole world by the great leader when the founding of the country. From then on, our people stood up proudly and stood in the forest of the world."
Ye Ruoyan said: "Today, the ancient countries in the East celebrate together. Let us merge our emotions and thoughts tonight, and let our hearts beat together. We offer our best wishes to our great motherland!"
Li Rong smiled sweetly again and said, "First let us invite Comrade Gao Jianbin, Vice Governor of Lingnan Provincial Government, Secretary of the Linghe Municipal Party Committee and Mayor. He gave a speech to the opening of this 11th Celebration Gala!"
The applause in the venue can be described as tsunamis. Many people slapped their palms red, and their faces were filled with excitement. It was this young leader who was on stage that made the poor Linghe City change drastically. Although he has not been here for a long time, in the hearts of cadres and the masses, he is the star of everyone.
The applause lasted for more than three minutes before gradually stopping. This was a kind of respect and love from the heart. Mr. Mo and a group of old comrades looked at the reactions of the masses and showed a meaningful smile with satisfaction. Being able to win such treatment is the dream pursued by many leading cadres, and the greatest glory and greatest reward in their lifetime.
Gao Jianbin stood in front of the microphone, and was extremely excited to see the people in the audience. He almost burst into tears when he received such treatment on such an occasion. Since he entered the officialdom and became a leading cadre, what he wanted was not the feeling brought by power, nor for himself to seek selfish interests, but really want to do something practical for the people. Similarly, he also hopes to be recognized and affirmed by everyone.
He had received all these expectations tonight. In front of Mo Huaimin, the successor of the Party and the country, and member of the Standing Committee of the Political Center, in front of a group of old people who had stood at the peak of state power, the masses gave him the greatest glory and expressed his attitude towards him with three minutes of applause.
Gao Jianbin calmed down and said, "Dear leaders, guests, and fellow villagers of Linghe City, good evening. Since the Central Committee decided to implement the Western Development Strategy, the western region has undergone tremendous changes, showing vitality and prosperity everywhere. With the joint efforts of all cadres and masses, Linghe City has also been rejuvenated and energetic compared to before."
Then he said: "In the past six months, with the strong support of the central government and the help of the provincial party committee and government, the Linghe Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have formulated an economic take-off plan, striving to turn our Linghe City into an economic, cultural, scientific, financial and information center city in the western region. I always believe that as long as the party is correct, as long as all of us are united, this goal will be achieved, and the people's strength will be invincible!"
That kind of strong self-confidence also infected everyone present, and as soon as the words fell, there was another thunderous applause.
Gao Jianbin immediately said: "To this end, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government first determined a major reform with the two industrial chains of real estate and tourism as the core, which fundamentally reversed the unfavorable situation. The three companies in the top ten real estate development enterprises in the country jointly invested 27 billion yuan to build an ecological high-end residential area in Cuiying Lake. Kyoto Qiming Film and Television Group invested 6 billion yuan to build a film and television city in Jadeyuan and an amusement park in Mengxia Mountain. This not only directly promoted the renovation plan of Linghe City’s old city, but also successfully launched the industrial chain. In the past two months, more and more companies have come to our city for real estate development. According to statistics from relevant departments of the municipal government, the investment amount will exceed 50 billion yuan."
Gao Jianbin then said: "The second step. The municipal party committee and government have made important promotions for infrastructure construction. With the care of the central government and the assistance of the provincial party committee and government, the construction of the city's road transportation network will be completed by the end of the year, and airports and railways have also entered the site selection stage. The municipal party committee and government have increased their investment in the education department and improved the living and teaching environment of the school. In addition to preparing to build new teaching buildings, a large number of new teaching equipment and sports equipment must be added. In order to solve the housing problems of poor families and laid-off workers, including teachers and people's police, with the support of the provincial party committee and government, we will start construction of 100,000 affordable housing units by the end of the year."
Gao Jianbin also said: "As for our third step, we can be proud of it. You may have read the news, Linghe High-tech Development Zone has introduced thirteen Fortune 500 companies at one time, with a total investment of up to 200 billion US dollars. What I value is not these funds, but the entry of these companies will bring major opportunities for our high-tech industry, lay a solid foundation for the industrial development of Linghe City, and can also add up to 60,000 jobs to Linghe City! And such high added value cannot be measured by money!"
Finally, he said: "I announced that the Linghe City Celebration Party has officially begun and fireworks are about to start. Please open your hearts in the major festivals of the motherland and create a sea of joy together. Thank you everyone!"
At the same time, the three rows of nine glass lighthouses and crystal ground lamps in the square emitted soft colorful lights. Various fireworks also flew on an open space more than three miles east of the square, making the sky of Linghe City colorful. The scenery was so beautiful that all the cadres and the masses feasted their eyes.
Guo Yandong looked at the scene in front of him with a pale face. He always thought it was a mule or a horse, so he took it out for a walk, but he didn't expect that this time he would be very busy!
In order to demonstrate the strength of the provincial capital, he tried his best to invite two members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and several old leaders from the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress.
Because the influence of those big stars is too strong, in addition to major media in the provincial capital, dozens of journalists also came from all over the place, and the farthest ones were even from the treasure island and the special zone.
Seeing the stadium full of seats, waving glow sticks and light signs everywhere, people were eagerly waiting for the actors to perform. Originally, he and many members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee were very proud.
Since the provincial TV station had a live broadcast of the evening party in Linghe City, he used the second set of programs to broadcast the evening party in Changhai City. As a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, this method is not too difficult.
The second program of the evening party just came. A star from Baodao took the stage to sing a famous song. The people present were originally very familiar with each other, but everyone was shocked when the melody sounded. The lyrics had not changed. But when did the song become this flavor?
In addition to a few somewhat blind fans who were still cheering, the venue had long become like boiling water, talking, scolding, accusing, whistling, and cheering, mixing together made Guo Yandong go crazy.
Not only the audience was angry, but the stars in the performance felt angry. I spent so much effort to transform the song into a new melody with modern trendy art. Not only do you not appreciate it, but also damage my reputation. I usually sing in metropolis in China. If it weren't for the sake of the boss of the cultural media company in Kyoto, you thought I was willing to come here to sing, and the quality was really low!
The national cultural and artistic evening party in Linghe City truly achieved a perfect display of the audio-visual feast. The program kicked off with the cheerful and enthusiastic stepping of the Miao people. First, it was a beautiful Miao girl dancing alone, and then a group performance. Looking at a group of girls exuding youthful vitality on the stage, listening to the familiar and beautiful melody, the audience burst into warm applause.
Mr. Song, who was sitting in the audience, always felt that the beautiful Miao girl who was leading the dance looked familiar. After seeing it clearly, she almost made her nose crooked. The actor was his precious granddaughter Song Wanning!
No wonder I couldn't see her for ten days and half a month. It turned out that I had sneaked to Lingnan. I guess this matter was inseparable from Gao Jianbin. Some things in Kyoto are not absolutely confidential. Mr. Song looked at Mr. Mo beside him. The two of them looked at each other with a bitter taste.
Song Wanning's opening dance was like a butterfly, making everyone present praise her performance, including Mo Huaimin and the old leaders. It was just her who had conquered people's hearts and watched her only show, and this evening party was worth it!
The reporters on the scene were also particularly excited. Such high-level performances are not often seen, and there is definitely a topic to write about this time.
Each program is deeply rooted in the essence of the classic culture of the Lingnan ethnic minority. Mo Yanyu's erhu performance and singing led to the craze for the second part of the evening party. She was so sophisticated about the ancient instruments of the erhu. She played the Zhuang people's "Zhuangshan Lyric Song". She was very at ease with music and sang the butterfly song. She was wearing Zhuang people's festival costumes and had a fresh and sweet feeling than she was wearing military uniforms.
The performances of Shui Xin and the teachers and students of the school were the third part of the party, especially Shui Xin’s guqin playing and the ensemble of the qin flute, which made the audience stunned and completely brought them into the ancient artistic conception by the music. It seemed that life and soul were washed away.
Although the Linghe National Song and Dance Troupe lacked actors, she also performed well at this evening party. The dance and folk songs of the troupe leader Xiao Geyun, as well as the group dance with the actors in the troupe, were all extremely exciting. If it weren't for the master-level figures that attracted the audience, she would definitely have received more warm applause than she is now.
After the three-hour performance ended, the audience was reluctant to leave for a long time. A reporter from the state television station sighed: "Such a wonderful program is not to mention a prefecture-level city, even a national competition is difficult to see. No wonder Vice Governor Gao is confident that he will become a core city in the western region. He does have such confidence. If these artists who performed on stage cannot afford to pay for money, I feel like I have been dreaming tonight."
His colleague said on the side: "This evening party should be broadcast live by the state TV station, so that audiences across the country can enjoy such high-quality performances. Although the provincial TV station is also live broadcast on satellites, the ratings are not as good as those of Linghe City's TV stations!"
Chen Xiangyun called his colleague and said, "Lingling, the party in Linghe City has just ended. How is the situation in the provincial stadium?"
The colleague said, "Don't mention it. The three and a half hours party finally turned into two and a half. Before the leaders of the municipal party committee and government left the stage, the stage was full of garbage, all over the bottles of beverages, mineral water bottles, broken fruits and other things. You didn't see the face of the municipal party secretary Guo Yandong, and you wanted to eat people!"
Guo Yandong had the intention of hitting the wall after spending tens of millions of dollars to make the party like this. He invited the provincial party committee leaders who attended the party and the old leaders of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress to criticize him unanimously. They left the venue before the party was over.
Guo Yandong regretted it very much. If he had listened to Sun Siyuan's advice, it would have definitely not become the current situation.
As soon as he returned home, he didn't even have time to drink saliva. Fang Dehui called and said, "Comrade Guo Yandong, the celebration party in Changhai City is very lively tonight. He performed a good show for all the prefectures and cities in Lingnan. I want you to give the provincial party committee a reasonable explanation!"
The sweat on Guo Yandong's head immediately flowed down and he said hurriedly: "Secretary Fang, I have considered too little about the unexpected situation in advance, so I will definitely review my mistakes with the provincial party committee."
Fang Dehui was furious and said in an extremely stern tone: "Accidental situation? Mistake? This is your understanding? The celebration party in Changhai not only lost all the face of the provincial city committee and government, but also caused the Lingnan Provincial Party Committee and Government to fall into a deep passiveness! The leader of the National Propaganda Department called me just now and asked me what was going on. How did you ask me to answer the questions from your superiors?"
Then he said, "On such an important festival, you actually directed a farce myself. I understand the two words I said are farces! Governor Zhou and I have warned you separately for this matter to promote national culture and art, and not to use the stars and celebrities in the entertainment industry to make the atmosphere lively. But you, treat our words as wind in your ears. Who are you cheating on this method of changing soup but not changing medicine?"
Zhou Xiliang's phone call was very simple. He did not hide his anger or sarcasm at all, and said, "Guo Yandong, you have always said that it is a very good thing. It is a mule or a horse that takes it out for a walk. Have you had enough of this walk? Do you think you are still qualified to continue to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Changhai City? I hope you will take the initiative to submit your resignation to the Provincial Party Committee, and the organization will consider changing the environment for you." After saying that, he detained the phone without even listening to the defense.
Guo Yandong looked at his cell phone, suddenly raised it and fell to the ground, smashing it to pieces. His family didn't know what was going on, but as soon as he pushed the door in, he shouted.
Chapter completed!
