Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Chapter 62 Meeting

Down below the dam, at the Forestry Bureau.

Because of Feng Cheng's matter, Xia Tian also went down to the dam.

Because no matter what, he is still a leader in the Forestry Bureau.

In the conference room.

Apart from Old Liu and Engineer Chen, all the leaders of the Forestry Bureau gathered here.

Because the nursery on the dam could not be left unattended, Engineer Chen stayed on the dam.

Xia Tian sat in what used to be Engineer Chen's seat.

Xia Tian should have been sitting at the end of the table, but Engineer Chen wasn't there.

As the deputy head of the technical department, Xia Tian naturally took Chen's place.

"Director Yu, I think we should convene a meeting with the village chiefs of the nearby villages."

Xia Tian thought for a moment and then spoke first.

"Oh why?"

Yu Zhenglai originally invited everyone here to discuss Feng Cheng's whereabouts and this year's tree planting issue.

But I never expected that Xia Tian would bring up such a thing.

"Director Yu, this is what I think."

"Since we are going to plant trees on the dam, the sacred trees that ward off wind on the dam are an important basis and resource for us."

"Zheng San'er's coming to cut down trees today has given us a good reminder."

"I don't need to elaborate on the importance of the Wind-Suppressing Divine Tree."

"All the leaders present are aware of this."

"We just happened to arrive when Zheng San'er came to cut down trees today."

"If Yang San'er comes to cut down the tree tomorrow, will we be able to arrive in time and stop him?"

"Therefore, I believe we should report all the forestry resources in Bashang to the higher authorities."

"They should all be transferred to our forestry bureau for unified management."

"And we also need to make sure to notify the village chiefs in the nearby villages."

"All forestry resources in the Bashang area must not be damaged."

"If anyone dares to sabotage this, we'll shoot them down."

Yu Zheng was startled by Xia Tian's murderous words.

"What do you think?"

"I think Comrade Xia is absolutely right."

As soon as Xia Tian finished speaking, Qu He was the first to respond.

He and Xia Tian had picked up the seeds of the Wind-Suppressing Divine Tree together.

They also knew that the seeds used to cultivate seedlings in the Bashang nursery came from that wind-suppressing sacred tree.

The importance of that tree is self-evident.

Even if he bends and falls, the tree must not fall.

Yu Zhenglai listened to Qu He's words, still frowning.

The others remained silent.

It's not that they don't want to talk, but that they don't know what to say.

One was from the General Office, one from the Personnel Department, one from the Security Department, and one from the Women's Federation.

They don't know how to plant trees!

Of all those present, Xia Tian is the one who knows the most about planting trees.

Secondly, there are Yu Zhenglai and Qu He.

While others may not be completely ignorant, their level of understanding is limited.

So they wisely kept quiet.

"Old Qu, you're the head of the political work section, so I'm leaving this matter to you."

Yu Zheng thought for a while and nodded in agreement with Xia Tian's statement.

"Ok, I see."

Qu He nodded and agreed.

"Next, let's discuss the issue of tree planting in Bashang this year."

"We will temporarily refrain from planting trees in the Bashang area this spring!"

"This year, we will focus our main efforts on planting trees in the fall."

"Comrade Xia Tian will now report on the specific situation."

"Last year, our afforestation task force in the Bashang area planted a total of 1000 saplings."

"After a year of growth, only one tree survived!"

"Time will tell!"

"However, it is more likely that the only surviving sapling will also not survive."

Initially, everyone was somewhat happy to hear that one tree could survive.

However, everyone felt a little disappointed after hearing Xia Tian's next words.

"but--"

Summer suddenly changed the subject.

"We have achieved significant breakthroughs in planting trees on the dam."

“We cultivated seedlings in the Bashang area last year.”

"The seedling cultivation has been successful."

"We'll wait until this autumn to transplant the seedlings to Saihanba."

"it is good!"

Qu He, acting as Xia Tian's straight man, started clapping as soon as Xia Tian finished speaking.

"Really?"

"Xia, you're not lying to us, are you?"

"How could I lie to you about something this important?"

Dark colors are definitely a must in summer.

"Otherwise, wouldn't all the work that Engineer Chen and I did in the past few months on the dam have been for nothing?"

Only after Xia Tian said this did everyone believe it.

They knew they would stay on the dam area throughout the summer and winter.

However, they had no idea what Xia Tian was doing.

Now that Xia Tian has explained it to me, I understand.

"The reason we were able to successfully cultivate seedlings on the dam is..."

"It is inseparable from the strong leadership of the higher-level organizations and the Forestry Bureau."

"It also wouldn't have been possible without the strong support of everyone here."

Everyone listened to Xia Tian's words with pride on their faces.

Although they knew in their hearts that they hadn't done anything.

Summer smiled as she looked at the smiles on everyone's faces.

Alone Better Together.

He wouldn't mind sharing some of the credit with the leaders present.

Everyone wants to improve.

Who doesn’t want to make progress?

But what does progress require?

Advancement requires seniority, but more importantly, it requires merit.

Of course, the most important thing is that you need to have connections above you.

But if you haven't made any contributions, even if your superiors want to promote you, they have no basis for it.

Even if some of the credit is shared, he still gets the lion's share.

They use insignificant achievements to gain favor with the leaders present.

In the summer, it seems like a very worthwhile thing.

Even though you may not need the favors from these people, it's still good to be prepared.

These people may not be able to help you when you are making progress.

But if someone were to sabotage or trip them up, it would be incredibly easy.

Especially now that no forest farm has been established.

Qu He was very satisfied with what Xia Tian said.

"Look at Xia's skill level. If he focused on political work, he would probably have to become an apprentice himself."

Yu Zheng was also very happy to hear what Xia Tian said.

He has received a letter from his old comrade-in-arms, who will be appointing him as the director of the Chengde Regional Forestry Bureau in the next couple of days.

He was promoted from section chief to division chief in one fell swoop.

No one could remain indifferent in this situation.

He has been the director of the Forestry Bureau of Weichang County for five years.

Xia Tian had only been here for less than a year when he was promoted from section chief to division chief.

He knew perfectly well that he was able to become the director of the Chengde Forestry Bureau because of Xia Tian.

If it weren't for the report he gave himself...

I don't think I'll become the director of the Chengde Forestry Bureau anytime soon.

Furthermore, what happened when they went to Beiping City a couple of days ago.

Although he didn't tell him directly in the summer.

However, he reflected on it carefully over the past two days since he returned.

However, some clues were still discovered.

"However, don't get too excited yet."

Summer then poured cold water on the situation.

"We have only achieved initial success."

"There is still a long way to go before we can successfully plant trees on the dam!"
