The next morning, Xiao Zheng and Chen Hong came from their new house early in the morning and accompanied Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei to have a buffet breakfast at the hotel.
Seeing so much food in the cafeteria, including bread, bacon, fruit, fried eggs, duck with sauce, noodles, wontons, noodle soup, as well as red wine and beer, Fei Qingmei sighed: "With so many things, it's hard to eat a meal."
How much does it cost? We’d better not eat here, go outside and have a bowl of noodles on the street, and that’ll be it.”
Xiao Rongrong also said: "We can't be so wasteful. How can we eat so many kinds of food? Let's just eat somewhere outside to fill our stomachs." There is no doubt that both of them want to save money.
Chen Hong smiled and said: "Dad, Mom, you can rest assured. Breakfast is included in the room rate. It's free." This was the first time Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei heard Chen Hong call them "Dad, Mom". Fei
After hearing this, Qingmei smiled and said: "Hey, Chen Hong is so good. Is it really free to have breakfast here?" Chen Hong smiled and nodded: "It is really free."
Xiao Rongrong said: "That's good, you can eat with an open stomach. I want two bowls of noodles." Chen Hong said: "Dad, you can try more barbecue, small cakes, and fruits first. If you eat noodles first, other things can be eaten at once."
I can't eat anymore." Xiao Rongrong thought about it: "Yes, pour a glass of red wine first and eat slowly."
Fei Qingmei pushed Xiao Rongrong with her elbow: "Money, give me money." Xiao Rongrong frowned: "What money? Didn't you say it's free?" Fei Qingmei said: "I didn't mean this money, Chen Hong
Call us dad and mom on the first day, why don't you show it!" Xiao Rongrong realized this time that there is this rule in the countryside. When the daughter-in-law formally calls "mom and dad", she should give a red envelope, but Xiao Rongrong forgot about it.
Already.
He hurriedly took out the money from his pocket, but Chen Hong immediately stopped him and said: "Dad, Mom, we don't like this. I call you Dad and Mom because I really want to call you. There is no need to give red envelopes. We are all a family. Come and give me."
It would be troublesome to go. Besides, I want to tell my parents that we are already living together."
Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei turned to Xiao Zheng and thought to themselves, their son is really powerful. Even before they get married, they are already their sons. Fei Qingmei smiled and said: "It's good to live together, it's good to live together, so that we can get married early."
It’s time to have a grandchild. You are all of marriage and childbearing age. The earlier you have children, the sooner you will be able to bear fruit."
Xiao Zheng said: "Mom, Dad, you should hurry up and have breakfast first. We are hungry too. Let's talk about other things later." Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei also knew that they talked too much. They knew that the son of the mayor usually usually
He was very busy, so he said: "Okay, let's have breakfast."
After breakfast, Xiao Zheng asked the driver to take his parents back to the village.
On the way back to town, Xiao Zheng received a call from Zhao Junjie, a high school classmate who is now a reporter at Hangcheng Daily: "Hello, Mayor Xiao, I'm Zhao Junjie." Zhao Junjie spoke very officially, and Xiao Zheng said: "Yes.
Junjie, we are old classmates, so don’t call me ‘Mayor Xiao’, just call me Xiao Zheng.” Zhao Junjie praised: “How can this be done? You are the first mayor in our class.”
Yeah! Just let me call you 'Mayor Xiao', and my face will look bright."
Zhao Junjie is not a member of the agency, but his words are more agency than the agency. Xiao Zheng can still remember the way Zhao Junjie showed off in front of him in the supermarket that day, but knowing that he is the mayor and equipped with a special car, Zhao Junjie's attitude towards him has completely changed
, a "mayor" in one mouthful.
Xiao Zheng didn't want to compete with Zhao Junjie. Since he wanted to call himself "Mayor Xiao", let him do it.
Xiao Zheng said: "Junjie, you can come to Tianhuang Town when you have time." Last time, Zhao Junjie said that he wanted to come to Tianhuang Town. Xiao Zheng thought that instead of asking others, he might as well take the initiative to invite him and give him a
Face. Zhao Junjie was really happy after hearing this: "That's great, I'll come over tomorrow." Xiao Zheng said: "Okay, I'll wait for you in the town tomorrow."
Zhao Junjie is a reporter from Hangcheng Daily. Tianhuang Town is engaged in "gorgeous rural construction". It is time to strengthen publicity. "Hangcheng Daily" is also a provincial newspaper. Although it is not as formal as "Jiangzhong Daily", its circulation is also very large.
Yes, there are a lot of people watching, so it’s perfect for publicity. For this reason, Xiao Zheng thinks it will definitely come in handy for Zhao Junjie.
The next day, Xiao Zheng waited for Zhao Junjie in the town. When it was time to eat, Zhao Junjie drove up in his small Buick. Xiao Zheng took him to the cafeteria for lunch and asked Tao Fang, director of the Party and Government Office, to accompany him. See
Tao Fang, a woman with such a protruding front and back, who is good at dressing up and speaking well, walked around Xiao Zheng "before Mayor Xiao and after Mayor Xiao", asking Xiao Zheng what he needed, and kept bringing tea and water. Zhao Junjie was really envious
Gotta be tight.
Unfortunately for Zhao Junjie, there was no wine served at noon. Zhao Junjie knew that now agencies and units start to get drunk at noon. Some leaders are good at drinking. They regard drinking as the main battlefield. After leaving the venue, they go directly to the drinking hall. In two venues,
It's a joy to be in.
Zhao Junjie felt a little unhappy. Did Xiao Zheng look down on himself, so he didn't serve him a drink? However, Xiao Zheng seemed to have understood his thoughts and said to him: "I will take you up the mountain later to see the beautiful scenery of An County."
, so we won’t serve you wine at noon. When we go to the county in the evening, I’ll buy you a drink with my own money.”
Hearing that he could drink in the evening, Zhao Junjie finally felt happy and energetic. He said: "Drinking is a trivial matter. I really want to run around Tianhuang Town. It would be good if I can help Tianhuang Town publicize it."
.”
So, in the afternoon, Xiao Zheng took Zhao Junjie to two places. One was Baishuiwan Village, where the stream was fast and suitable for rafting; the other was Fengqi Village, especially the large sea of bamboo behind Xiushui Natural Village. Zhao Junjie was also quite fond of it.
The scenery in front of me was shocking. I took out my camera and took pictures: "What a great place. Now that the mine has stopped, if such a beautiful scenery can be publicized, Tianhuang Town will definitely attract a large number of people from Zhonghai and Hangzhou."
Let’s have some fun here. Mayor Xiao, if you can leave the promotion of Tianhuang Town to me, I promise to make your Tianhuang Town popular all over the country.”
Hearing what Zhao Junjie said, Xiao Zheng still had a bright mind. He was not so naive as to think that Zhao Junjie would promote Tianhuang Town for free. It didn't exist.
As the saying goes, if you don't have any profit, you won't start early. Zhao Junjie came all the way from Hangcheng Road, so he couldn't provide publicity to the grassroots for free. He would definitely have to collect money. Currently, Tianhuang Town's finances are tight, so money must be spent carefully.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "It's a good thing to have heroes to help promote it."
But Xiao Zheng kept silent about the money.
It was getting late when we came down from the mountain, so Xiao Zheng invited Zhao Junjie to have dinner with him in the county town. Xiao Zheng arranged dinner at a small restaurant very close to Mingyue Jiangnan Community. It was not arranged in a big hotel, but there was a lot of food.
, the wine is also in charge. Xiao Zheng's principle is not to hold a large banquet, but to allow the guests to eat and drink.
In the evening, Xiao Zheng also asked Li Haiyan if he was free and wanted to have a meal together. Li Haiyan said that he could arrive later.
Xiao Zheng and Zhao Junjie started eating first, and Li Haiyan actually came at around seven o'clock. After being introduced and knowing that Li Haiyan was the county party secretary and secretary, Zhao Junjie was in awe. What's more, Li Haiyan called Xiao Zheng "Master"
", which made Zhao Junjie think that Xiao Zheng was not simple. He didn't expect that Xiao Zheng had already established such a deep relationship in the county.
When the wine reached 78%, Zhao Junjie brought up the matter of helping Tianhuang Town with publicity. Li Haiyan asked helpfully: "Reporter Zhao, your Hangcheng Daily helps with publicity, you must charge a fee, right?"
Zhao Junjie thought for a while, and he guessed that Xiao Zheng must have political achievements when he is the mayor at a young age. If the publicity is done well, Tianhuang Town becomes popular, which is a major political achievement. Therefore, Xiao Zheng will definitely do this publicity. Zhao Junjie
The lion opened his mouth and said: "With 200,000 yuan, I can publicize Tianhuang Town so that the whole Hangzhou knows about it."
Two hundred thousand? It was nothing to Tianhuang Town in the mining era, but it was really a big number to Tianhuang Town now.
There are nearly a hundred people working in Tianhuang Town, and their monthly salary is hundreds of thousands. Two days ago, Xiao Zheng went to check the bottom and found that the town's financial balance was only enough to pay one month's salary. If there is no further
With the income coming in, everyone’s salary will not be paid next month. They say that food is a financial resource, food is a financial resource, and now I am almost begging for food and I can’t even pay it.
Financial revenue is the biggest problem at present. If he spends 200,000 for publicity now, he will definitely be opposed by the team members.
In Xiao Zheng's opinion, the best situation is to not spend the town's money and let Zhao Junjie help with the publicity. So when Zhao Junjie talked about money, Xiao Zheng changed the subject and said: "Come on, let's
Could it be that when we meet friends, we won’t talk about work tonight and just have a drink?”
Li Haiyan also drinks well. She could tell that Xiao Zheng didn't want to talk about publicity fees today, but she couldn't refuse Zhao Junjie to promote them, so Li Haiyan helped Zhao Junjie drink. Zhao Junjie was really drunk.
Xiao Zheng settled Zhao Junjie in a small hotel, and then walked back with Li Haiyan. Li Haiyan said: "Master, you really need to do publicity now. You have to let people from big cities come to the town to play, so that the town will be popular.
Only then can the tertiary industry be developed." Xiao Zheng said: "He asked for 200,000 yuan. The price of the publicity fee is too high! The town's economy is very difficult now." Li Haiyan said: "I'm afraid the town will be in this kind of difficulty recently.
Given the circumstances, we have to do some publicity!”
Xiao Zheng said: "I have to find a way to let him help us do the publicity, but do it for free."
Li Haiyan stopped and looked at Xiao Zheng in surprise: "Master, are you bragging? Nowadays, how can any newspaper not charge you for promoting you? Let alone a provincial newspaper like "Hangcheng Daily".
Even a city newspaper like "Jingzhou Daily" costs tens of thousands to give you a page!" "I will never brag." A smile appeared on Xiao Zheng's face, "I really want Zhao Junjie to do publicity for us for free!
What if I do it?"
Li Haiyan smiled with her pretty eyes: "You can do whatever you want!" The night gave people a misty beauty, and Li Haiyan looked particularly pretty.
This is not the first time that Li Haiyan said, you can do whatever you want. But Xiao Zheng never dared to do whatever he wanted.
When a woman says this to you, especially a smart and beautiful girl like Li Haiyan, it would be too hypocritical not to be moved.
But Xiao Zheng still has self-awareness. He still knows what he can and cannot do. This is what makes Xiao Zheng different from other young cadres who are proud of themselves. After all, he was suppressed by Song Guoming for five or six years. This is
Five or six years have given him a taste of the world, and at the same time made him cherish his current position even more.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "If I win, I will scratch your nose!"
