Zhao Gang suddenly caught a glimpse of Tie Jin, quickly put down the gift he had brought with him, and stretched out his hand to Tie Jin.
"Happy New Year, Director Zhao. Why can't I understand your words of congratulations? Could it be that Mingzhu has changed its custom this year? Instead of saying "Happy New Year" during the Chinese New Year, it's time to say "congratulations!"
Tie Jin smiled, but he was very proud in his heart, because he knew what Zhao Gang meant.
Zhao Gang took hold of Tie Jin's extended hand and shook it vigorously, "Young poor man, how could Director Tie hide this from others, and also from me, a handyman in the Municipal Party Committee Office? At the last secretarial meeting before the year, Secretary Wang personally appointed you as the
The second-in-command of the municipal bureau, executive deputy director and deputy secretary of the bureau’s party group, isn’t this worthy of congratulations? It’s not like your brother Fang Xia has risen so high and then turns around and disowns him, for fear that the old brothers will take advantage of him?”[
As soon as Zhao Gang finished speaking, Qiu Tiandu and Niu Fenjin looked at each other and noticed the shock in each other's eyes.
For Qiu Tiandu and Niu Fenjin, the news revealed by Zhao Gang was definitely a shocking secret.
Originally, the two of them were inferior to Tie Jin in terms of authority and rank. Now that Tie Jin's deputy director has become executive, he is now one of the most important people in Mingzhu City. In terms of actual power, even an ordinary deputy mayor cannot get past him.
Tie Jin immediately became a very important figure. In an instant, Qiu Tiandu and Niu Fenjin understood the importance and calculated it clearly in their hearts.
No, as soon as Zhao Gang finished speaking, these two people started to congratulate him.
Right now, in their minds, the importance of a good relationship with Director Railway has far exceeded the importance of selling Director Xue well.
The situation between Qiu and Niu was just a joke in Zhao Gang's eyes.
To be honest, at this moment, Zhao Gang was saying congratulations, but in his heart, besides strong envy, he was full of regret.
Because he and Xue Xiang were close to each other and they were at the core of the municipal party committee, their exposure to news was naturally not comparable to that of Qiu Tiandu and Niu Fenjin.
At the moment, Zhao Gang is almost 90% sure that this crucial step in Tie Jin's promotion must be related to Xue Xiang.
Otherwise, how could Mr. Tie, who had been so depressed that he could hardly find a presence in the city bureau, become so successful in just a few months?
It would be fine to say that this person is good at maneuvering, but he is just such a lump. He has squeezed out the three deputy directors and two deputy secretaries in front of him, and jumped to the No. 2 seat of the Municipal Bureau. Why?
???
The answer is self-evident. It must fall on Director Xue, who has great powers.
After understanding this point, how could Zhao Gang not regret it?
When he thought of the two times when Xue Xiang encountered difficulties, he himself retreated faster than a mouse burrowing through a hole, he wanted to slap himself in the face immediately.
He knew that Xue Xiang had opinions about him, and he also knew that such opinions could not be made up by treating guests to dinner or giving gifts.
The more polite Xue Xiang was, the further apart he knew he would be from Xue Xiang.
It was clear that he was the first to get to know and show favor to Director Xue, but now, it was Tie Jin who took the lead. Zhao Gang felt really relieved, but he didn't know who to blame. If he really wanted to blame him, he would have to blame him.
The officialdom is so deeply immersed in the red-topped-white stereotype that all behaviors in the officialdom are based on it.
As a result, now he, Zhao, seems to have friends all over the city and a lot of friendships, but there is only one friend who is really willing to work hard like Xue Xiang.[
After thinking about it, Zhao Gang was almost stupefied. A gust of draft blew through the hall, and he couldn't help but shiver, and then he woke up.
"As late winter approaches spring, Director Zhao is dressed a little thinly!"
Xue Xiang had already noticed something was wrong with Zhao Gang's expression. Although he didn't know what he was thinking, he roughly guessed that it must be related to Tie Jin's promotion.
Zhao Gang regained his composure quickly and said with a bold smile, "Didn't I hear that Director Xue is back? I was in a hurry to give you New Year greetings and left in a hurry, so that's why it turned out like this! Come on, tonight, we will be at Xue
The director can make a table here, and I will cook for you in the evening so that you can taste the real secret nine-headed abalone..."
The dinner lasted until ten o'clock in the evening, and the group of people said goodbye and left. When Xue Xiang cleaned up the mess and returned to the little guy's room, she was already holding Xiaobai and was fast asleep.
After a quick wash, he went to bed and lay down, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, after serving the little one's breakfast, he told her to finish her winter vacation homework at home quickly, lock the door, and Xue Xiang drove out and left.
Xue Xiang went here to pay New Year's greetings to his group of leaders and friends in Mingzhu. After all, officialdom is the most typical relationship society. It can be simple in normal times, but during the New Year and holidays, the etiquette must be thorough.
It can be said that Xue Xianglai has only been a pearl for half a year, but if you take a closer look, there are quite a few people to pay homage to.
Needless to say, Tie Jin and Zhao Gang, who visited yesterday, must go there.
In addition, there are a group of leaders from the municipal party committee general office. Regardless of whether they are familiar with each other or not, leaders of the same system must respect etiquette no matter what.
After all these bits and pieces are gone, what remains are the two most important Buddhas, Chen Daolin and Wang Mingshen.
Since there were a lot of houses to visit, and it was the New Year, they had to ask for food. If Xue Laosan acted blindly, it would probably take him a week to visit these ten houses.
Fortunately, he calculated accurately and planned the order of visits, from low to high according to level, so that it would be extremely easy to escape.
When Zhao Gang asked for food, Xue Xiang said that he had made an appointment with Director Su Xiaolan to eat at her house at noon. In this way, Zhao Gang was envious and did not dare to force him to stay even if he borrowed the courage of the two of them.
Xue Laosan turned around and went to Tie Jin's house.
However, when Su Xiaolan's family was faced with the problem of being detained, Xue Xiang moved out of Chen Daolin again, and the former naturally had to let him go.
In this way, Xue Laosan was so enchanted with a Tai Chi move that he visited eight houses in a whole morning.
He raised his hand and looked at his watch. When it was almost eleven o'clock, he turned the car around, ran home, and started preparing lunch for the little guy.
After finishing the meal, he chatted with her for a while and analyzed a few math problems. The little one then took a lunch break, and Xue Laosan was about to go out again.
Before he thought about it, as soon as he closed the door to the little guy's room, the phone rang. He quickly walked to the table and reached out to take it. The voice that came out of the receiver was Xiao Nizi's voice.
"Xue Xiang, I'm going to Mingzhu during the Lantern Festival, so don't forget what you said!"
After saying that, Xue Xiang hung up without waiting for a reply.[
"What's going on?"
Xue Laosan held the phone and was in a daze. He was not surprised by Xiao Nizi's arrival, but he couldn't understand what Xiao Nizi's last sentence, "Don't forget what you said."
After being stunned for a long time, Xue Xiangcai hung up the phone and chewed on Xiao Nizi's words repeatedly, raising land, and he laughed!
"If you leave, I won't see you off; if you come, no matter how windy or rainy it is, I will pick you up!"
Xue Laosan finally remembered the most romantic words he thought he had ever said. However, at that time, he just said it as a romantic thing, but he didn't expect Xiao Nizi to take it seriously.
Only now did Xue Laosan realize that cheap words are easy to say, but romantic words should never be spoken casually. In this regard, women remember to be in jail.
In a word, the promise made is the debt owed! No, today, the debtor is here!
With a belly full of sweetness, Xue Laosan went out again. There were only three big leaders who visited in the afternoon. The time of the visit had to be correct. It wouldn't work if it was early. People were taking a nap. It wouldn't work if it was late.
I made it clear that I was waiting for someone to leave me a meal.
Therefore, Xue Laosan drove leisurely, stuck in time, and arrived at the home of Bao Tong, Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee.
Unfortunately, Bao Tong is not at home. He went back to his hometown in northwest China years ago and has not returned yet.
This was definitely not a good thing for other New Year visitors, but for Xue Xiang, this was the best news. He put down his things and left without waiting for the nanny to pour water.
Afterwards, he diverted to Chen Daolin's house, and the two had a hand-to-hand talk. Xue Xiang then escaped and went straight to the last house, Wang Mingshen's house.
Returning to the old place, it was much easier for Xue Xiang to enter Wang Mingshen's house this time. It was not because the guards did not stop him, but because the guard box informed him of his arrival, and Wang Ziyi, dressed in a green leather military uniform, jumped out of the door.
"Brother Xue, happy new year, may you get rich and bring me the red envelope!"
Wang Ziyi in the distance was like a cheerful and lively deer, shouting away from a distance.
Xue Xiang smiled and said: "Where did you learn it? I'm not afraid that Secretary Wang will hear it. Besides, I am a public servant of the people. If you wish me a fortune, are you wishing that I would not live in peace!"
"You have so many ideas, you coward. I don't know how popular this greeting is in coastal areas. You must be old-fashioned. Besides, who doesn't want to get rich these days? You haven't heard the slogans all over the street: Set up a stall,
It's better to be a county magistrate than to be a provincial governor when the trumpet sounds. I've seen many officials go to sea. You old-fashioned thinking needs to be liberated!"
She spoke like an oriole, clucking her little mouth and patting Xue Xiang on the shoulder. Although Wang Ziyi and Xue Xiang had met once, they had a friendship of fighting side by side. In addition, she was an out-of-the-box person.
Son, don’t treat Xue Xiang as an outsider at this moment.
Listening to her tirade, Xue Xiang could only smile bitterly and shake his head, "I can't beat you, but we still get the benefits. I just hope that our shopkeeper Wang will be merciful because he has received a favor fee!"
While talking, Xue Xiang actually took out a red envelope, swiped it, and Wang Ziyi's little apple turned red instantly. Suddenly, he clenched his fist and lightly punched Xue Xiang, then ran away far away.
She was just joking just now. She was not really asking Xue Xiang for new year's money. Now, when Xue Xiang took out the red envelope, didn't he really treat her as an ignorant child?
Xue Xiangzheng looked at Coke, and two more people stepped out of the open door. A closer look revealed that it was Secretary Wang and Comrade Guangzhen.
At this time, Xue Xiang didn't hesitate anymore and walked forward quickly. When he got close, he stretched out his hand and said New Year's greetings.
Wang Mingshen just smiled and responded, then let go of his hand. Comrade Guangzhen, on the other hand, held Xue Xiang's big hand tightly and said, "Xue Xiang, we are really destined. I have just finished my business in the National College Office."
, I just came here today to wish my teacher a happy New Year. I never thought that you would be here before I could even sit down, haha..." (To be continued...)
