Chapter 1400 Domineering Presence at the Meeting_1
After the leaders discussed poverty alleviation strategies during the meeting, Town Chief Silas Nelson glanced at the attendees and spoke seriously, "Poverty alleviation is the main Task for the county this year, and our town must lead the way. We have the poorest villages in the entire county. If we can’t overcome this issue, how can we answer to the county, and how can we answer to the people? Therefore, after careful consideration by the town’s party committee, we have decided to send our most capable comrades to assist these areas. Comrade Peter Brown from the office is a party member, as well as a talented graduate from Provincial University. He is known throughout the town for his intelligence. The town has decided to send Peter Brown to provide assistance in Fruitful Village."
At this point, he raised his voice, "Is Peter Brown here?"
"Yes," Peter stood up.
Silas Nelson looked at Peter, his expression unchanging, and continued sternly, "Peter, I’ve just mentioned the town’s decision. Do you have confidence in doing a good job there?"
"Town Chief, I’m willing to go, but I’m not a leader. Surely there should be a leader in charge, right?" Peter voiced out loudly.
Gasps!
Those who heard Peter speak were shocked, thinking to themselves that this young man really dared to speak his mind!
Today, so much rhetoric and grandiose language had been used, with the purpose of confirming the Poverty Alleviation Personnel for Fruitful Township. Of course, personnel for other villages would also be determined, but everyone knew that Fruitful Village was the priority.
The talk was quite flattering with Fruitful Village being highlighted as a priority, but not one leader in the town would take on this task. Everyone knew as clear as day that the village had no special products, no transportation, and making it prosperous would be extremely difficult. Another issue was the fierce local customs. Many who went there were chased out, making it a tough bone to crack. Whoever took charge would be asking for trouble.
