It was the same hot pot restaurant and the same seat. Zhao Wen took off his coat and saw that Jia Chunling was also taking off her down jacket, so he went over to help her tidy it up and put it on the chair aside. Jia Chunling curled her mouth and asked: "You Why didn't you ask me how I knew you had become a normal person?"
Zhao Wen poured water for her and asked, "I thought Ms. Jia would say 'the secret must not be leaked'."
"Well, how did you know it so quickly? My client has just received the news."
Zhao Wen said, helplessly shrugging his shoulders.
"Zhang Hui, he happened to ask me something, so he said something casually, and since then, my lady's lunch has been arranged."
After hearing this, Zhao Wen said to himself: "Zhang Hui is not the kind of person who talks casually. Why did you say this to Jia Chunling today?"
Although he was thinking in his heart, Zhao Wen still said: "Then I have to go to him. I will send him the invoice for today's meal later. Isn't this collusion and asking me to pay?"
"Do you want to send the gas money for the car as well?"
"Okay, take the money and add two to one to make five, half for each person."
Jia Chunling giggled, then slowly sat upright, looking at Zhao Wen quietly, with a mist in her eyes, and her whole look changed.
Zhao Wen felt this change in Jia Chunling, pretended not to know and ordered the food, looked at the menu and said: "I ordered for you, what do you want to drink?"
Jia Chunling quickly got rid of the abnormal mood. She took the menu that Zhao Wen crossed and said at a glance: "Come on, you have ordered all my favorite food, go ahead and do it."
"It's an order."
Jia Chunling smiled coquettishly again, and Zhao Wen handed the menu to the waiter beside him, and then said casually: "I heard that the daughter of Ma Hengbin and Han Fuju is in love."
Jia Chunling looked at Zhao Wen and asked, "Why, how do you know this? Oh, by the way, we met Ma Hengbin once."
Zhao Wen then told Jia Chunling what happened when he was applying for a small loan.
"Han Fuju is such a person! When I was in Wenshui, I thought he was quite insidious. I didn't expect that he would actually hold you back. This person is so bad!"
Jia Chunling said angrily: "And that Ma Limpu is just a bureaucrat. Fortunately, he is only from a credit union. If he were in a government agency, I don't know how many things would be ruined."
"Actually, it's nothing. It didn't work out later. I think maybe Ma Limpu did the loan thing. Well, it should be said that Ma Hengbin asked his father to do it in order to please his future father-in-law. Han Fuju may not have done it. I know, but if I find out afterwards, I won’t say anything.”
"The most surprising thing about Han Fuju is that at the National People's Congress, he threatened the deputies and disrupted the election. Later, you will know."
Jia Chunling said in surprise: "Ah, according to you, Han Fuju was so frightened that he became ill because the county was investigating him for election bribery?"
Jia Chunling shook her head: "This person is really disgusting. However, no one knows whether he is really ill or fake. The key is that now he is always out of sight and out of mind."
Zhao Wen poured a drink for Jia Chunling, sighed and said: "Actually, I really miss the time when I first arrived in Wenshui. It was simple. I ate every day, sat in the office and read, and went out when I had something to do. It was fine. How carefree. Now it feels like being roasted on a fire. It’s really uncomfortable.”
"Say, who can have so much energy in a day to always guard against the people around you? It's easy to hide and hide from the people around you. For example, if you and your teammates are playing basketball, you always focus on guessing your teammates' passes.
Will the basketball that comes over suddenly explode, and is it filled with poison that can cause blood to seal the throat? Can you still play this game well?"
"It's so boring."
Seeing Zhao Wen's depressed look, Jia Chunling said with a smile: "Come on, you really got a bargain and acted like a good boy. How many people want to be like you now are so jealous."
"How about we switch over?" Zhao Wen said with a smile: "It's a pity that I don't understand your line of work. It's too technical. Otherwise, should we really switch over?"
Zhao Wen said quietly: "When I was young, I wanted to grow up. When I grew up, I wanted to be small. If I didn't want to be an official, I wanted to be an official. Once I became an official..."
Before Zhao Wen finished speaking, he was stopped by Jia Chunling; "When you become an official, you will become a bigger official! Why do you still imitate me?" Jia Chunling took some alfalfa and handed it over and said, "You really hold a grudge.
, I stole your money last time when we were having dinner, oh, you just gave it back to me as soon as you became a member of the Standing Committee."
"Chun Ling, I'm really tired... When you left, there was no one to talk to. I thought it was very boring..."
Zhao Wen's expression was gloomy. He stared at the rolling pot. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the relief and concern on Jia Chunling's face, so he sighed and said: "Those knights in ancient times were proud of the mountains and forests, happy with their grudges and meritorious deeds.
Take off your clothes and hide your body and name, hey, that's so exciting."
Jia Chunling pointed at Zhao Wen, opened her mouth and said: "Oh, you're done. Just now you were thinking of switching sides with me, and now you want to give up. Do you think the ancients lived a good life? Who knows what happened to those knights and hermits?
Just run to an uninhabited place. If you haven’t heard of Xiao Yin hiding in the wild, Zhong Yin hiding in the city, and Da Yin hiding in the court, just do your thing honestly. From now on, I will call you Da Yin when I see you.
.whee."
"Oh, by the way, our Mogao Mountain, which is the big mountain between Chali Village and Wujiaying Village, has been spotted by others and is ready to be contracted to develop the tourism industry and build a large mountain villa."
"Hey, this is a good thing. Nowadays, we are talking about ecological balance. Hey, your vision is not bad this time. Long-term planning and sustainable development. Well, Comrade Xiao Zhao has a future."
Jia Chunling said with a smile. Zhao Wen didn't see any fakeness in her eyes, and he knew in his heart that Jia Chunling really didn't know anything about Jia Qian's arrangements for Wen Shui.
"Things like his appointment to the Standing Committee should be kept strictly confidential. Jia Qian didn't even tell Jia Chunling about the smelting plant and the fertilizer plant. Instead, he asked Zhang Hui to reveal to Jia Chunling his appointment to the Standing Committee. What was his purpose?
Is it really Zhang Hui who said he exposed his mouth and not Jia Qian who hinted at it?"
Zhao Wen was a little confused.
After dinner, Zhao Wen sent Jia Chunling to her work. On the way, he saw that she was in a good mood and said, "Tell me, what do the Standing Committee members do all day? Why do I feel like I don't understand anything?"
Jia Chunling smiled: "Who is born knowing everything? In my opinion, the Standing Committee is responsible for doing what they usually do. When something happens, they go to that seat, drink water, nod, and raise their hands. Haven't you heard?
It’s a pleasure to have a meeting. It’s a pleasure to have a beautiful woman sitting next to you. It’s not bad to have free food and drink.”
Jia Chunling laughed as she spoke, and Zhao Wen also laughed and said: "Okay, next time there is a meeting. I will bring you with me. Otherwise, it would be boring to be surrounded by old men. That would be a boring meeting, with all the old men sitting around.
."
The two laughed for a while. Zhao Wen said abruptly: "I think Ma Hengbin still likes you."
Jia Chunling immediately blushed and said, "Then I still like you!"
After Jia Chunling finished speaking, she shut up and said after a while: "It doesn't matter if he likes me. I don't like him. Besides, he plans to find a few partners, Playboy!"
The atmosphere in the car was very awkward, but soon they arrived at the Audit Bureau. Jia Chunling was about to get out of the car. Zhao Wen reached out and said, "Hey, do you still have the candies with fillings? Give me some more."
Jia Chunling's eyes widened and she frowned and said, "Okay, I'll just eat your meal. I want to drain all my treasures."
Although she said this, she still took out a small bag from her bag. It looked like it had just been unpacked, and Zhao Wen said, "No, I only want a few pills. I'll save you the heartache."
Jia Chunling took out a few candies from her bag and put them into her bag. She put all the candy in front of the car and said sternly: "Be careful of toothache at night!"
Zhao Wen smiled and said: "The toothache is also because of you! Thank you, Lord Buddha, for the reward."
Jia Chunling got out of the car and walked a few steps. She stopped and looked back at Zhao Wen. When he was still looking at her, she smiled, raised her hand slightly, waved a few times, then turned around and left.
.
Watching Jia Chunling's maroon figure disappear through the door of the office building, Zhao Wen remembered that this was the first time that Jia Chunling turned around to say goodbye to him when he saw her off.
When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Wu Kui came in and invited Zhao Wen to have a drink in the evening. He said that his wife had set up a trap in the field and caught two pigs and badgers at once, and they went to eat game together in the evening.
As a elected deputy township head, Wu Kui knew how much Zhao Wen had done in his transition from a village cadre to a deputy township leader.
Nowadays, Wu Kui was originally the last one among Pu Chungen, Wu Feihan and Liu Qiang to be promoted by Zhao Wen, but he was the one who made the best move.
Zhao Wen nodded and said: "Okay, we haven't been together for a long time, let's have a good time tonight."
As soon as Wu Kui left, Song Xiu'e called. Her tone was a little sad, so Zhao Wen asked: "How is your uncle doing?"
Song Xiu'e sighed and said: "When people get older, it's always sunset."
Hearing her voice on the phone, Zhao Wen knew that she was in the hospital, so he said: "You must take care of yourself, don't work too hard, and give red envelopes to doctors and nurses when it's time, don't be stingy, people are important... Shall I go see you?"
"
Song Xiu'e said: "Well, I know, don't come. I know you are very busy recently. I want to congratulate you, Standing Committee Member Zhao."
After hearing this, Zhao Wen sighed and said: "No, I still don't know who is grandpa or grandma. The fate is uncertain. Forget it, don't tell me..."
At this time, there was a shout from the microphone, as if someone was calling Song Xiu'e, and she said: "I'll call you later, goodbye."
Zhao Wen said goodbye, heard the busy tone on the phone, and thought to himself that Song Xiu'e looked very weak, but had a high spirit, and Huang Tianlin was so *motherly* that he didn't know how to show mercy to women, but this would be an advantage for me.
Zhao Wen hadn't seen Liu Qiang for a long time, and he felt that he was much calmer. His speech was not as reserved as when he first met, and his drinking capacity was good. However, Pu Chungen's skin color had turned a little white recently, so Zhao Wen laughed and asked if he always went for beauty treatments recently.
, bleached the skin.
Pu Chungen said cheerfully: "I used to run around outside all the time, but now I always stay in the office without seeing the sun. I really feel a little bit younger."
Wu Feihan laughed and said that her skin was healed, but she always sat there and her belly got bigger.
Pu Chungen really stood up, patted his belly with his hand, and said in confusion: "Ah, Lao Ba, if you don't tell me that I haven't noticed, I might be a little fat."
"You can't be moved by wealth or humbleness, you can't bend by power, and you can't forget to exercise while sitting in the office. I'm going to ask you to go on an urgent mission. Can you do it if you're as tender-skinned as you are?"
Pu Chungen curled his lips at Wu Feihan, but rarely refuted.
Wu Kui's wife really respects Zhao Wen. When she first met Zhao Wen, she always felt that this young man had a hairless mouth. She even asked Wu Kui privately whether Zhao Wen could play well in Wenshui.
But within a few months, Zhao Wen not only secured the position of township head and secretary in Wenshui, but also moved the people around him to decent positions, especially his husband Wu Kui, who rose to the top in one step.
He became the deputy township head all of a sudden, and he was promoted faster than Wu Feihan.
Therefore, now when she meets Zhao Wen, she always has a kind of heartfelt respect, and this respect is transformed into some fear of Zhao Wen. It is a very subtle psychological state.
Times have changed, and now Zhao Wen and Pu Chungen, Wu Kui, Wu Feihan, and Liu Qiang have a deep relationship, so he is not going to hide it from everyone. He can tell some things in advance so that a few people can be prepared.
Several people played guessing games and drank with each other. They walked around for a few times. Seeing Wu Kui's wife going out, Zhao Wen said, "I may have to be transferred."
As soon as Zhao Wen said what he said, everyone present was a little surprised. Pu Chungen asked anxiously: "Where are you transferred to? Didn't you just go up?"
Wu Feihan said belatedly: "Secretary, the situation has just opened up and the work has just been smoothed out. I feel unsure about your departure."
Zhao Wen said: "There is a high chance that Wu Mantian will come up, but there may be variables."
"In our hometown, Wu Mantian, Liu Zhifa and Chi Aiqiang are not mentioned. Jiang Yun has only been here for a short time and I don't know much about him. Qin Guohui, you should be more careful in the future."
Wu Feihan and Wu Kui both nodded, but Pu Chungen didn't care about it and asked: "Secretary, where are you going? You probably have to have some idea, right?"
Zhao Wen smiled and said, "I can't escape the earth anyway."
Suddenly, the wine shop became deserted. Zhao Wen said with a smile: "Actually, this is also a good thing. If I leave Wenshui, I can look at what I have done in Wenshui from a different perspective and calm down for a while.
.It’s not a bad thing for me.”
Zhao Wen said this about himself, and no one else could reply. After a while, he stood up and said: "People have three urgent needs. You sit down first."
Zhao Wen went out, and Wu Feihan looked at a few people and said, "What the secretary said is reasonable. However, I always feel a little empty in my heart."
Pu Chungen drank wine and remained silent. Wu Kui stood up and left without saying a word.
The nights in the mountainous areas are cold and quiet, and the starry sky in winter is even brighter. The stars seem to be so low that you can reach them at your fingertips.
The toilet in Wu Kui's house is outside the gate. The toilet is made of bricks and has a wall as high as a person. There is no obstruction on top, so the view is broad and the air is good.
Before Wenshui elected the township head this time, Wu Kui got up in the middle of the night, put on the villagers' homemade mille-layer cloth shoes, and threw two homemade Molotov cocktails into the kitchen from outside the courtyard. The kitchen was filled with smoke and all the valuable things in the kitchen were destroyed.
I was moved to the upper room, where there was only an old refrigerator with a broken compressor.
The Public Security Bureau came to investigate the scene but found nothing. Everyone thought it was Han Fuju or Wu Mantian who was responsible for threatening the representatives and messing up the election.
After the kitchen was set on fire that night, Wu Kui repainted the kitchen completely with imitation porcelain paint. Now, looking from outside the courtyard, one can still see a gleaming white wall.
Like Zhao Wen, Wu Kui set a fire and brought in a deputy mayor. Moreover, Zhao Wen trusted him very much. The vegetable and fruit wholesale market was now profitable, and the hotel in Chali Village was about to be built. Even without this
Wu Kui felt that he was worthy of the position of deputy township head.
Zhao Wen came out of the toilet and saw Wu Kui standing in the open space outside, looking at the mountains in the distance, the red cigarette butt flickering on and off, silent and not knowing what to think.
He reached out and asked Wu Kui for a cigarette. He lit it with Wu Kui's cigarette butt and took a puff. Looking at the smoke rings, Wu Kui opened his mouth and said: "Secretary, I want to build two more factories, a carton factory and a popsicle factory."
The investment in the factory is not big, around 100,000 yuan, so we should be able to start something."
"Well, if you like the place, we will secure the venue. The location must be chosen well, and we will try to complete the procedures before the end of the year."
Zhao Wen did not ask Wu Kui for specific details. He knew that Wu Kui must have thought about it before speaking.
Wu Kui is a very restrained person, he acts steadily, does not talk empty words, and is thoughtful and thoughtful. Zhao Wen feels at ease with him.
Wu Kui knew that since Zhao Wen said this, he might be transferred around the Chinese New Year.
Wu Kui listened to Zhao Wen's words very carefully and took note of them in his mind.
"Wu Mantian is actually not a scary person. He is just a fool. Jiang Yun is so gloomy that you won't be able to tell for a while. He is Qin Guohui. This person always gives people an incomprehensible feeling."
Hearing what Wu Kui said, Zhao Wen knew that Wu Kui had confidence in his heart and stopped talking.
Wu Kui couldn't speculate too much on Zhao Wen's thoughts. He said that Zhao Wen was always more considerate than people like him. He had never seen Zhao Wen smoking, but he looked very sophisticated now.
"Your sister-in-law made you a scarf and gloves made of pig badger fur. You can wear them soon."
After Zhao Wen finished smoking, the two returned to the room. Zhao Wen said, "We agreed to have fun tonight. Come on, I'll play another level."
The next day, Zhao Wen did not expect that he would soon be notified by the county party committee to attend the Huayang County County Party Committee Standing Committee meeting, but he did not say what the content of the meeting was.
Zhao Wen thought for a while, found the "Decision-making Rules of the County Party Committee Standing Committee" and looked at it carefully.
Because he didn’t even know how the Standing Committee meeting was held, how he, the temporary Standing Committee member, should behave at the meeting, whose will he should represent, and whether he should respond to Jia Qian or respect Wu at the meeting.
Yong.
The Huayang County Standing Committee meeting was held in the conference room on the third floor of the County Party Committee.
