I, Qi Tongwei, will never yield, even if it means defeating fate by half a move.

Chapter 68 The Cadres' Joy

Wan Jiaxian's mind began to stir.

When he first received the statistics, he was still worried that the data was inaccurate.

The gross domestic product increased by 50% to 2544 million yuan, and fiscal revenue increased by 120% to 156 million yuan.

The data was so impressive that he couldn't believe it.

He knew that vegetable planting and mountain product purchasing had brought in considerable profits, but he hadn't expected the profits to be this good.

This has led to such a significant increase in the township's GDP and fiscal revenue.

Only after the audit team re-audited and confirmed that there were no problems did Wan Jiaxian truly accept this fact.

Gushanling Township has made a remarkable achievement, which will dazzle all the county's officials.

Although he didn't contribute much to vegetable planting and mountain product purchasing, all the work in Gushanling Township was carried out under his leadership as the Party Secretary.

This remarkable achievement is also thanks to him; it is all a result of his leadership.

Wan Jiaxian has served as the Party Secretary of the township for four or five years, which means he has long met the standards and requirements for promotion.

Unfortunately, his work failed to make significant progress or breakthroughs during this long period of time.

Looking back over the past few years, Gushanling Township's performance in various aspects of its work has been unsatisfactory.

Almost every indicator was the worst in the county, firmly occupying the bottom position.

However, starting last year, the situation finally took a turn for the better.

Through the unremitting efforts and a series of actions by Yan Maoqing and his team, Gushanling Township gradually escaped its long-standing predicament.

This year, Gushanling Township will no longer be in the embarrassing situation of being at the bottom as in the past, and its overall ranking is expected to improve by several places.

For Wan Jiaxian, this is undoubtedly an achievement to be proud of.

After all, this means that as the Party Secretary of the township, he has finally achieved some respectable and commendable results.

With such outstanding achievements, it is only natural to consider seeking further development.

It should be understood that although the township party secretary is indeed the top leader in his township, possessing absolute authority and decision-making power.

However, when viewed at the county level, it doesn't even rank highly.

Especially when he was in charge of the most backward Gushanling Township, he faced many difficulties and obstacles in transferring to work in the county town.

But things are different now. With this hard-won achievement, Wan Jiaxian is not only expected to be successfully transferred to work in the county town.

Moreover, there is a chance to become the director of a larger bureau.

If things go smoothly, he may be able to serve as the director of some high-profile and important agencies in the future.

He might even be promoted to deputy county head.

Wan Jiaxian dared not delay for a moment and immediately dialed the phone number of his backer—the propaganda minister, Xiong Guangrong.

As soon as the call was connected, he couldn't wait to give the other party a detailed report on the remarkable achievements of Gushanling Township.

"Jiaxian, well done! With such outstanding achievements, I can recommend you to the county committee in the future!"

On the other end of the phone came the voice of Xiong Guangrong, the propaganda minister, filled with joy and praise.

Upon hearing this, Wan Jiaxian was deeply moved and thanked him repeatedly.

In fact, since the beginning of this year, Wan Jiaxian has frequently taken the initiative to contact Xiong Guangrong, actively reporting his work progress and expressing a strong desire for promotion.

Xiong Guangrong greatly admired Wan Jiaxian's ambition and had tried to promote him on several occasions.

However, it is counterproductive.

Although he had recommended Wan Jiaxian to the county party committee several times, the proposal always failed to pass during the standing committee meeting.

The reason for this is simply that Wan Jiaxian took office as the Party Secretary of Gushanling Township.

They have consistently failed to produce any remarkable results to prove their abilities and value.

Therefore, even if Xiong Guangrong wanted to promote him, he was helpless in the face of the doubts and opposition from other standing committee members.

However, this time the situation is different. With such remarkable achievements as support, it is believed that Wan Jiaxian's career path will usher in a new turning point.

Soon, the township's annual year-end summary meeting was held.

On this solemn and anticipated day, the entire township was filled with an atmosphere of tension and excitement.

As the meeting officially began, township leaders took turns on stage to announce in detail the achievements of their work in 91.

Every piece of data and every achievement shines as brightly as a star.

The officials in the audience listened attentively, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

When the officials heard that the township's financial situation had improved significantly compared to last year, they could hardly contain their joy.

This not only means that the village is developing rapidly, but more importantly, their hard work throughout the year has finally paid off – they can receive more wages!

For these cadres who work silently at the grassroots level, this increase in income is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation and encouragement for their hard work.

Although this is the salary they are entitled to, Gushanling Township has always had poor fiscal revenue.

As a result, everyone's salary cannot be paid in full every year, and it is often delayed for six months or even longer.

Now that the township's fiscal revenue has increased so much, the township will naturally pay them more wages.

At this moment, they felt a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, and were also filled with more confidence and motivation for their future work.

Soon, the township paid out wages, and everyone received nine months' worth of pay.

And all the expenses reimbursed over the past two years were reimbursed.

When those pay slips, each bearing the weight of hard work and expectations, and a stack of cash were handed out, everyone's face broke into an undisguised smile of joy.

Originally, everyone was still a little worried, thinking that the township would only pay three months' wages as usual, and then pay three more months' wages as a consolation payment.

Unexpectedly, this time they actually gave out an extra three months' worth of salary!

As a result, for the first time ever, they received their full year's salary!

You know, in the past, getting half a year's salary was considered pretty good.

So this unexpected surprise really excited everyone.

Although the township government currently has a little surplus in its accounts, it will soon need to allocate 20 yuan to the vegetable company.

When the vegetable company was first established, the township was short of funds and only allocated 2 yuan as start-up capital.

Left with no other option, they had to borrow 20 yuan from the county's Agricultural Bank, which enabled the vegetable company to open and operate smoothly.

Moreover, the township plans to establish a mountain product processing plant, which will undoubtedly require a considerable investment.

After factoring in the various daily expenses, a thorough calculation reveals that the township's finances actually have very little money left.
