Xiao Zheng was surprised and asked: "Could it be Secretary Xiao, inviting me to dinner?"
Li Haiyan said: "Xiao Shu. Secretary asked me to ask Master if we are free, let's go to Anxian International Hotel for a meal together." Xiao Zheng was very happy after hearing this and immediately said: "Okay, will you be there then?"
?”
Li Haiyan smiled and said: "I should be there too." Xiao Zheng said: "Well, I haven't seen you for a while, so I just want to meet my apprentice."
Although Li Haiyan is now Xiao Jingyu's secretary, she still calls Xiao Zheng "Master" without any pretense. This is what Xiao Zheng likes about Li Haiyan. She does not forget her roots and is very down-to-earth.
Xiao Zheng didn't know if he wanted to drink today, but he still had to think about where he would stay at night in advance. It would be obviously inappropriate to ask Li Haiyan to arrange a room. Oh, the county party secretary invited you to dinner and also helped you arrange accommodation.
Place? Is this ridiculous?
Therefore, Xiao Zheng couldn't tell if Li Haiyan was asked to arrange a room. How about staying in his own room? That house was newly renovated and had all the necessary water, electricity, etc. It was just that no one had lived in it for a long time.
Just gray.
In addition, there was no quilt or change of clothes. Xiao Zheng saw that it was only four-thirty now. Dinner in the county usually starts after five-thirty, so there was still time. Xiao Zheng planned to go to the dormitory to get it.
A quilt and a change of clothes, and I plan to move directly into the house.
This matter must be discussed with Chen Hong. After all, the house belongs to two people. After Xiao Zheng arrived at the dormitory, he called Chen Hong. When Chen Hong heard about it, he said, "You want to move in today?" Xiao Zheng
Zheng said with certainty: "Yes, there have been more opportunities to go to the county town recently. I often need to have dinner, so it is more convenient to live in the county town." Chen Hong said: "Okay, I'll tell my mother and let our nanny do the cleaning.
Come on. You just need to bring some changes of clothes. I also have quilts here."
Xiao Zheng thought about it and asked with a smile: "Use your quilt? Are you going to move in too?" Chen Hong said to Xiao Zheng: "What are you thinking about? I won't move in before we get married." Xiao Zheng didn't force Chen to move in either.
Hong said: "Then I will only bring a change of clothes."
Sometimes you may need to use the dormitory in the town if you work overtime. The quilts and everything have been removed, and you will no longer be able to live there. Since Chen Hong said that she has quilts and blankets, Xiao Zheng doesn't have to worry about it.
Xiao Zheng simply brought a change of clothes, stuffed them into the trunk of his motorcycle, and went into the county town. It was already 5:15 when he arrived at the county town, so Xiao Zheng was not in a hurry to go back to his house and went directly to Anxian International
Grand hotel.
After Xiao Zheng waited in a small box for a while, county party secretary Xiao Jingyu and Li Haiyan came.
Xiao Zheng felt a little alienated after not seeing Xiao Jingyu for a while. Xiao Jingyu's hairstyle has also changed slightly. It used to be vertical, but now it is shorter and combed back, revealing the outline of his ears. It seems fairer, but his face
It also seems to be more serious.
Xiao Zheng couldn't help but think of the scene when they first met, when Xiao Jingyu encountered a mudslide and was trapped in the car. The Xiao Jingyu that night seemed to have changed a lot from the Xiao Jingyu today.
As a woman, I used to be a middle-level cadre in the province and didn't have that much pressure. Now I have to deal with a bunch of veterans in the county. If I don't have more motivation and more tricks, I'm afraid I'll still be working for others even after being sold.
Counting money. Xiao Zheng could not imagine how much pressure Xiao Jingyu, as the county party secretary, would have to bear?
Xiao Zheng stood up from his seat and said hello: "Hello, Secretary Xiao." Xiao Jingyu nodded and said: "Commissioner Xiao, please sit down. Haiyan, you can also sit down. Today we are all on our own.
There are no outsiders, no need to be formal, just have a comfortable dinner."
Xiao Jingyu's words made Xiao Zheng and Li Haiyan look at each other, both of them were a little surprised.
This was the first time for the two of them to hear Xiao Jingyu call them "one of their own". If they were other ordinary cadres and were called "one of their own" by the county party secretary and secretary, they would probably be very happy.
Xiao Zheng and Li Haiyan were both overjoyed, and they both sat down. The waiter first served each of them a bowl of sea cucumber soup. Xiao Zheng knew that sea cucumbers are said to be aphrodisiacs, but those present today were
Two women. I don’t know if the hotel is not particular about it, or if Li Haiyan specially prepared it for herself, so they just ate it together?
Xiao Zheng was also a little hungry, and the rich soup was indeed delicious. Xiao Zheng finished the bowl of soup in three strokes, divided by two. Xiao Jingyu looked at Xiao Zheng, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and ate most of the soup.
He put the soup aside and stopped eating. Instead, he asked Li Haiyan: "Shall we have a drink today?"
Li Haiyan asked: "Secretary Xiao, there are both white wine and red wine. The white wine is made of black buckwheat. It tastes very good and the alcohol content is only 42 degrees. Do you want some of this?" Xiao Jingyu nodded and said, "Okay.
, let’s have some black buckwheat and white wine, we won’t drink too much, we will each have three taels, and let Commissioner Xiao have four taels, which is exactly one pound.”
Xiao Jingyu controlled the amount in advance, and it was impossible for Xiao Zheng not to drink it. The problem is that the taste of this wine is really surprisingly good. This is neither Maojiu nor Wuliang wine, and the price should not be that expensive.
, but the taste is really good.
Many people think that white wine is just that, spicy and stimulating. Only red wine is ever-changing. But this is just what laymen say, people who don’t understand white wine. Domestic white wine is also about taste.
Thousands, there are endless changes in a cup. Only an expert can understand the taste.
Of course, neither Xiao Zheng nor Xiao Jingyu know much about wine. How can they have time to study wine? For people in the official career, wine is nothing more than a medium, creating an atmosphere that can make people speak more tactfully and more effectively.
Smooth, just more relaxed.
After drinking a few sips of wine and eating a few bites of vegetables, his stomach was already a little full. Xiao Jingyu suddenly got to the point: "Commissioner Xiao, I heard that your mining shutdown work in Tianhuang Town is progressing smoothly?" Xiao Zheng put it down.
He picked up his chopsticks and said seriously: "Secretary Xiao, so far, things are going quite smoothly. Two of our villages have completed the signing of the mine suspension contract, and more than a dozen other villages will also fully implement it."
Xiao Jingyu nodded again and said: "The progress is faster than I thought. I heard that those two villages are from your film team?" Xiao Zheng nodded again and said: "Yes. Our film team is
There are relatively few mines visited. There is one mine in Maojia Village and two mines in Baishuiwan Village, so my group completed it ahead of schedule."
Xiao Jingyu picked up the wine glass and said: "It's still good. Being able to take the lead in the mine shutdown work shows that Commissioner Xiao's ability to do mass work is still very good. Commissioner Xiao, what are your next steps for your own development?"
Consider it?"
Xiao Zheng was stunned for a moment. Xiao Jingyu asked him so bluntly what he considered for future development? And this was when Li Haiyan was also present.
Seeing that Xiao Zheng was a little confused, Li Haiyan explained: "Commissioner Xiao, Secretary Xiao cares about you very much. If you have any thoughts in your heart, you can tell Secretary Xiao. Secretary Xiao also made it clear just now,
We are all our own people, so we can say whatever we want."
Xiao Zheng thought that the last time he invited Xiao Jingyu to have dinner, Xiao Jingyu didn't show up. Today, Xiao Jingyu specially invited him to the Anxian International Hotel for this meal. He must have a purpose. Maybe it was because of a breakthrough in the mine suspension contract signing work.
, Xiao Jingyu suddenly felt that Xiao Zheng was a malleable talent, so he invited him to this meal.
But Xiao Zheng also realized that he had only been a member of the party committee and deputy mayor for less than half a year, so it was unlikely that he would climb up the ranks immediately. Even if he dared to say it, people would think you were too greedy, right?
So Xiao Zheng said: "Xiao Shu. Secretary, I don't have any personal considerations. However, I do hope that our town's party committee secretary and secretary can be equipped early to facilitate the development of work."
Xiao Jingyu looked at Xiao Zheng and asked: "Who do you think is suitable to be the party secretary?" Is this a test of himself? Xiao Zheng flashed this idea, but he did not hide his thoughts and said: "I personally
I think Comrade Guan Wenwei is suitable. He is the mayor of the town, so it is logical to promote him to the position of Party Secretary. And the key is that now his prestige in our town has increased, everyone has united around him to start a business, and the atmosphere is better."
Xiao Jingyu nodded: "I have received your suggestion. If Comrade Guan Wenwei serves as party secretary and the mayor becomes available, are you ambitious enough to fight for it?" At this time, Xiao Zheng suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Haiyan nodding slightly at him, as if to
He immediately replied in the affirmative.
Xiao Jingyu unexpectedly brought the topic to herself again, as if she really wanted to support herself. But Xiao Zheng still said: "I listen to the organization's arrangements, but there are actually too many people in this town who are more qualified than me, so I
Don’t think too much about it.” Xiao Jingyu smiled and said, “It seems that, Comrade Xiao Zheng, you lack a strong enterprising spirit in your official career.”
Xiao Zheng said: "Secretary Xiao, actually I am very satisfied now. To be honest, if it weren't for you, I would still be an ordinary cadre and be squeezed by some leaders in the town. I am very satisfied to have made it this far.
Yes, I have always been very grateful to Secretary Xiao."
Xiao Zheng's last words made Xiao Jingyu's heart move slightly.
This was the second time Xiao Jingyu tested Xiao Zheng, and she was still satisfied with the answer Xiao Zheng gave her.
Just at noon that day, the provincial minister Lu told Xiao Jingyu that the scientific development concept inspection team was about to go to the city and county, and asked her to be prepared. Xiao Jingyu said that the county recently wanted to promote the "gorgeous rural construction"
"This is in line with the requirements of the Scientific Outlook on Development. Minister Lu reminded Xiao Jingyu that the definition of the Scientific Outlook on Development is actually still a bit vague. Whether development or ecology is needed is not yet completely determined. How to grasp the relationship needs to be cautious.
In addition, Minister Lu also asked her if Xiao Zheng, who had saved her, had made any rude requests recently, and asked her to make sure of it. She was responsible for Xiao Zheng's promotion. Don't be sued because of this matter.
There is a lot of trouble in the inspection team.
It was precisely because of Minister Lu's question that Xiao Jingyu called Xiao Zheng over for dinner again to test him.
