Chapter 565: National Respect and Care for the elderly’s model unit inspection!
Morning.
District Government No. 4 meeting room.
The room was quiet as the District Leaders walked up the podium and sat at their respective seats. The meeting on the District Government’s management of the nursing homes had started.
Dong Xuebing is surprised to see District Mayor Geng Yuehua attending this meeting. She sat at the main seat, and he didn’t know some of them, as there were no nameplates on the table. The District Executive Deputy Mayor, Shen Fei, is sitting beside Geng Yuehua. Dong Xuebing can recognize him because he had seen his photographs on the Government Website before. He is in his early thirties and is considered young for his position. He looks cultured, and his education level should be high.
The District Mayor and Executive Deputy Mayor are here for the meeting.
Why are they so concerned about this meeting? Is there something going on?
Dong Xuebing is not the only one with such thoughts. District Executive Deputy Mayor Shen Fei organizes this meeting, but the District Mayor is attending. Most of the attendees are a surprise, but a few seem to know this will happen.
Executive Deputy Mayor Shen Fei starts the meeting.
Shen Fei announced the start of the meeting and passed the microphone to District Mayor Geng.
Geng Yuehua looks at the attendees. “I will talk about the progress of our District’s Nursing Home management first. I have read the reports from all the subdistricts. Some have done well, and some progress is slower. Among all the subdistricts, Ping An Subdistrict had done the best. Their Nursing homes’ management is the best.”
Ping An Subdistrict Office’s Director Chu Qinghua, who was seated below, remained emotionless.
Dong Xuebing frowned and looked at Chu Qinghhua. Many other Subdistrict Directors also looked at him.
Praising Ping An Subdistrict Office at the start of her speech?!
What is the underlying meaning?
Geng Yuehua continues. She did not prepare any scripts and continued giving out a series of directives.
Geng Yuehua had analyzed the District’s nursing homes and found issues with the management. This is the critical period for the neighborhood nursing homes. The various Subdistricts and relevant departments must speed up the construction, and they must house at least 55% of the elderly. She also emphasized the duration. The construction must not be delayed, and the person in charge from various Subdistricts must monitor closely. Third, all nursing homes must be integrated to have higher efficiency. She mentioned that the Neighborhood Nursing Home is an important project ordered from the higher-ups. All Subdistrict Offices must be hands-on, and the supplies must be prepared.
Geng Yuehua took three minutes to finish six directives.
Geng Yuehua is direct and speaks fast. It’s hard to imagine she can remember everything without a script.
Dong Xuebing and the rest took notes.
Geng Yuehua paused for a while and looked at Chu Qinghua. “Director Chu, come up and share Ping An Subdistrict Office’s situation with the rest.”
Chu Qinghua quickly walks up the podium.
The Leader’s words are directives and orders, and Chu Qinghua cannot speak like Geng Yuehua. Many of the attendees have the same rank as him, and he cannot give them orders. That’s why he can only mention his experiences and how he coordinated the construction.
When the meeting was about to end, the Executive Deputy Mayor, Shen Fei, took the microphone and announced. “The inspection team from the Central Government will be visiting Ping An Subdistrict Office. Nan Shan District had nominated them as a candidate for this year’s National Respect and Care for the elderly’s model unit.”
No wonder the District Mayor praised Chu Qinghua at the start of the meeting.
The District is so focused on respecting and caring for the elderly this year because they are helping Ping An Subdistrict Office win the National Respect and Care for the elderly’s model unit. This is a prestigious award. More than a thousand individuals won the National Respect and Cared for the elderly model citizens. Still, only a dozen units can get the model unit award. It might be a dozen and sounds a lot, but this is selected from all over China. On average, there are two winners from every Province, and one Province has over ten thousand units.
Because of the Subdistrict Office’s work nature, it’s hard for them to achieve results. Even if they have results, it will be overshadowed by the District Government. It cannot be compared to Village Township levels. Such model unit selection is the best way for a Subdistrict Office to shine. The Central Government will send an inspection team to visit the nominated Subdistrict. The China National Committee will decide the winner on Ageing and Ministry of Civil Affairs. This is a significant achievement, and this is why the District placed such high emphasis on it.
Meeting ended.
All the Subdistrict Office Directors started discussing it.
None of Fen Zhou City’s departments or units have ever won the National Respect and Care for the elderly’s model unit, let alone Nan Shan District. A Fen Zhou City’s Neighborhood was nominated before, but they failed the first round of inspection.
Will it be the same this time?
No one knows, but many people are jealous of Chu Qinghua.
Dong Xuebing is also jealous. A National Role Model Unit. When he was Yan Tai County Public Security Bureau Deputy Chief, the Bureau had applied for a “National Advance Unit Award.” All the departments tried their best, but they could not even get nominated. It’s not easy to get nominated for “National” model units or advance units awards.
But Ping An Subdistrict Office got it this time.
What the hell?!
Dong Xuebing is unhappy. If another unit or department is nominated, he will smile and congratulate them. But Ping An Subdistrict Office is Guang Ming Subdistrict Office’s rival, and he has grudges with Chu Qinghua. He will not forget how Chu Qinghua served the dish Woman at 40 to let him offend the Leaders and was still thinking of ways to get back at him. Before he could think of a way, Ping An Subdistrict was nominated, and Nan Shan District’s top leaders supported him.
“Congratulations, Director Chu.”
“Old Chu, your Subdistrict Office is making us proud.”
“Haha… the inspection has not started, and we don’t even know if we can pass it.”
“Are you being modest? With the District Government supporting you all, what’s there to be worry about?”
“The National Respect and Care for the elderly’s commendation awards are next months in Beijing. There’s not much time left. Old Chu, I am waiting to see you on TV.”
A few Leaders, who are close to Chu Qinghua, congratulated him.
Chu Qinghua felt proud as he chatted with them. Suddenly, he notices Dong Xuebing and smirk.
Dong Xuebing saw it, and his eyes turned cold. Are you trying to provoke me?!
Old Bastard! You are seeking your death!
Dong Xuebing knows even if he tells Geng Yuehua and the District Party Secretary’s wife that Chu Qinghua had purposely served that dish to insult them, they will not believe it. Also, doing such things will leave a bad impression, and he doesn’t have evidence. Li Lu will not dare to be his witness, and that’s why he never brings it up again. Chu Qinghua is the culprit who caused him to drift apart from the Leaders. How can he get the title of Role Model Unit?
How is he qualified?!
Dong Xuebing called for a Work Party Committee meeting when he got back to Guang Ming Subdistrict. The District’s orders involve both the Party Committee and Government. Other than the Work Party Committee Members, a few Office Department Deputy Directors and related department heads attended this meeting.
Dong Xuebing controlled his emotions and conveyed the District’s directives to them.
Everyone felt uncomfortable after hearing it. It is not because they had neglected this issue. They are busy with other work and cannot focus on the elderly issues every day! They had been working on it for more than a month!
Dong Xuebing paused for a second and announced. “Ping An Subdistrict Office is nominated for this year’s National Respect and Care for the elderly’s model unit, and the Central Government’s inspection team will be arriving tomorrow morning.”
“The National Respect and Care for the elderly’s model unit?!”
“Ping An Subdistrict Office?!”
Everyone finally understands why the District Government had given out those directives.
Zhou Yanru and Qu Yiqiang frowned.
Geng Xinke seldom showed up in front of Dong Xuebing recently. He seems to be avoiding Dong Xuebing and looks like he is waiting for an opportunity to get back at him. His face changed when he heard Ping An Subdistrict Office was nominated.
How can they get nominated?
How can a Subdistrict Office that is only concerned about vanity projects be nominated?!
Everyone became upset, like Dong Xuebing after this announcement.
