Xiao Zheng was even more startled and said, "I understand."
Xiao Jingyu added: "One more thing, I have made an appointment with Chief Liu to have dinner together tomorrow night. By then, we will leave for Jingzhou early."
It's the weekend again, and leading cadres are usually busiest on Friday night. Minister Liu left Friday to Secretary Xiao, which is enough to prove the importance he attaches to An County. Xiao Zheng said: "Okay, Xiao
Secretary, I will arrange the work in advance."
Xiao Zheng immediately called Xu Changyun, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, and told him the time and address.
Xiao Zheng returned to the town, knocked on the office door, and called Chen Hong.
"Don't be anxious. Secretary Gao has already agreed on your matter and will not report it to the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department," Xiao Zheng said.
"It's true!" Chen Hong was overjoyed, "Husband, you are so awesome!"
Xiao Zheng, however, was not happy at all and said: "Secretary Gao said that we can't do this kind of thing again next time."
"Of course, I will learn my lesson!" Chen Hong said, "Husband, tomorrow is Friday. I will come back to have dinner with you. After dinner, when I get home, I will comfort you."
Xiao Zheng said in embarrassment: "Chen Hong, I was just about to tell you that I can't eat at home tomorrow." Chen Hong asked: "What's wrong? Do you have entertainment outside?"
"Yes, there is entertainment." Xiao Zheng said, "I want to go to the city with the leader and treat you, Chief Liu, to dinner." When it comes to entertainment, Xiao Zheng never hides it from Chen Hong.
Chen Hong was stunned and asked: "Which leader are you coming with?" Xiao Zheng said: "It's our Secretary Xiao." Chen Hong was silent for a while and said: "Secretary Xiao is really kind to you.
I invited Mr. Liu to dinner and called you. When was this matter decided?"
Xiao Zheng said: "It was just decided today." Chen Hong felt relieved and said: "Oh, okay."
Chen Hong thought that she was now the deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department Office. Chief Liu might ask her to participate. I'm afraid it would not be too late to tell her what had just been decided.
Xiao Zheng said: "I will go back to my new house that night." Chen Hong said confidently: "Maybe we can go back together! I guess Chief Liu will ask me to attend the dinner party together."
"Oh, that's good." Xiao Zheng was not sure whether Director Liu would be called Chen Hong. After all, Xiao Jingyu didn't mention it to him. But it was not completely impossible. After all, Chen Hong was the deputy director of the office in charge of the work.
Chen Hong spent almost the entire afternoon waiting for Chief Liu to inform her to attend dinner together tomorrow.
But until after get off work, there was still no movement from Chief Liu. Chen Hong became a little anxious. Was Chief Liu busy with business and forgetting to notify her?
The leader must not be forgotten. Before Chief Liu left work, Chen Hong deliberately found something innocuous and went to report to Chief Liu. After the report was completed, Chief Liu gave instructions, but he never
She was asked to attend the Anxian dinner tomorrow. This made Chen Hong a little confused. Did Mr. Liu really not want her to attend the dinner?
Chen Hong couldn't ask directly. Seeing Director Liu stand up and get ready to get off work, Chen Hong had no choice but to come out of Director Liu's office.
Chen Hong returned to his office and thought, is it possible that tomorrow's dinner has been cancelled? Chen Hong called Xiao Zheng again and asked him if he would cancel dinner tomorrow. Xiao Zheng said: "No, at least I haven't answered it yet.
The notice from Secretary Xiao said it was going to be cancelled." Chen Hong said, "Oh, I understand." Xiao Zheng asked, "Has Director Liu notified you to join us?" Chen Hong said with some disappointment: "Not yet.
Xiao Zheng said: "Perhaps he thinks that tomorrow he and Secretary Xiao will have dinner together. It is a dinner between their leaders. If the subordinates are there, they may not be able to let go."
Chen Hong said: "I am engaged in service. In fact, our subordinates are transparent about what their leaders do, and they don't have to worry about it at all. Maybe... I will be notified tomorrow to participate. There are several times where I am notified at short notice."
Xiao Zheng didn't know why Chen Hong was so keen on attending dinner. It was not easy to eat this kind of meal. The subordinates had to serve and toast, and they had to look at the leader's expression all the time. It was very tiring.
Xiao Zheng hopes that Chen Hong can be more relaxed. She is already the deputy director of the office. As long as she does a decent job, it is only a matter of time before she is promoted to the post of deputy director. After working for a few more years, when the time comes, she is promoted to deputy director. Basically, there is nothing wrong with it.
Suspenseful things.
However, Chen Hong looked very anxious. Xiao Zheng actually didn't like seeing her like this.
But Xiao Zheng didn't want to pour cold water on her, otherwise Chen Hong might be unhappy again, and he would have to spend time to comfort her, so Xiao Zheng said: "This is also possible, sometimes the leader can't think of so much. Maybe,
When I suddenly thought of it, I asked you to participate."
When Chen Hong heard what Xiao Zheng said, she immediately became happy again and then hung up the phone.
The next morning, Xiao Zheng was handling official business in the office. Xin Asi, the current party secretary of Fengqi Village, knocked twice on the office door and shouted: "Mayor Xiao, are you free? I will report in a few minutes.
.”
When Xiao Zheng saw it was Xin Asi, he threw the pen on the table, ran out from behind the desk, shook Xin Asi's hand hard, and said: "Secretary Asi is here, please sit down. Please sit down."
I'll make you tea."
"Hey, hey, I'll do it myself." Xin Asi said hurriedly, "How can I ask the mayor to make tea for me?" Xiao Zheng said, "Secretary Asi, sit down. You come up from the village, you are
Guest, please make sure I make tea for you." Xiao Zheng used to be the deputy director of the office. He moved quickly and made tea for Xin Asi in the blink of an eye.
After the tea was brewed, Xiao Zheng took another bag of soft Chinese seeds from the drawer, stuffed it into Xin Asi, and said, "Put it in your pocket." Xin Asi said sheepishly: "Mayor Xiao, how can you be so embarrassed?
ah?"
Xiao Zheng said: "Secretary Ah Si, why are you being polite to me?" Xin Ahsi said happily: "Mayor Xiao, you are so kind to us subordinates, we are willing to work hard for you." Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
: "I don't want you to work hard for me. I'm very grateful to help you do a good job in the village, bring in new people, and help the village develop and have successors!"
Xin Asi took out a lighter, lit a cigarette for Xiao Zheng, lit it himself, and then said: "Mayor Xiao, I will give you a brief report on the situation today. All work in the village is being carried out in an orderly manner, and the Chinese New Year is about to begin.
, in order to allow the villagers to live a peaceful New Year, our village cadres have also arranged their shifts. The team leader ensures that the phone is open 24 hours a day and that everyone is responsible.
I won’t report too much on the regular work. It’s the Anhai Group project. They stopped work more than a week ago. It started to stop after the thunder and lightning, and it hasn’t started again. I think it was the group that let
The project team celebrates the New Year early. But I think this matter still needs to be reported to the leader."
"Oh? Work has been stopped?" Xiao Zheng did not receive any news in this regard from An Ruyi. According to the relationship between Anhai Group, they should have informed him!
Therefore, the news from Xin Asi is quite meaningful. But Xiao Zheng did not have any doubts on the surface, but said: "Yes, maybe as you said, they celebrate the New Year earlier and can start work earlier next year.
I understand this situation. Secretary Ah Si, please stay in town for dinner today, and I’ll treat you to Xiushui Restaurant."
Ah Si said: "No, no, I can't drink at noon anyway, so Mayor Xiao might as well treat me to a meal some other night. I haven't had a drink with Mayor Xiao for a long time, and I kind of miss the atmosphere."
Xiao Zheng smiled and agreed readily: "No problem. I will definitely arrange this meal before the end of the year, and I will ask Tao Fang to inform you then." Xin Asi said: "This is a good idea, then I will go back and wait.
.”
After Xin Asi left, Xiao Zheng thought about what Chen Hong had told him before, which was to send New Year's goods to the Municipal Party Committee Organization and Organization Department. In the eyes of Chen Hong and her family, this New Year's gift was a
, it must be good for Chen Hong. But now Xiao Zheng thought about it and still didn’t want to give it away.
On the one hand, when sending these new year gifts, you must communicate with Guan Wenwei. If you do not communicate with Guan Wenwei, it will affect the relationship with Guan Wenwei; secondly, Xiao Zheng always does not want to use public funds for personal use and takes advantage of Chen Hong's benefits.
Xiao Zheng always felt uncomfortable when paying money to give gifts.
So, after much deliberation, he simply gave up the idea.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Zheng received a call from Li Haiyan, saying that Secretary Xiao had asked him to leave and meet directly at Box 1 of the Wanghu Hotel at Jingzhou Fisherman's Wharf.
Jingzhou is located on the south bank of Jinghu Lake. Fisherman's Wharf is full of lake view hotels. If you eat in the boat-shaped hotel above, you can not only enjoy the lake view, but also taste the lake's delicacies.
Xiao Zheng arrived at Fisherman's Wharf at five o'clock. It was a sunny winter evening. The setting sun was setting, the golden spots were dotted, and the cold wind was refreshing. Living in the mountains, water is rarely seen, so for this open water surface,
Also very fond of it.
Xu Changyun had already arrived. He saw Xiao Zheng by the water and greeted him. When Xiao Zheng approached, he said, "The leaders haven't come yet."
So, the two of them did not enter the box immediately, but came to the waterside, looked at the vast water view, and chatted. Li Haiyan's call came in: "I saw you, Secretary Xiao is already in the box."
Xiao Zheng and Xu Changyun immediately entered the hotel, went up the stairs, and reached box number one.
This private room has floor-to-ceiling windows, a wide view, and modern decoration incorporating water town characteristics. It is a place to entertain distinguished guests.
In about ten minutes, Director Liu of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee walked in. He took the driver with him. There was no one else, and naturally Chen Hong was nowhere to be seen.
Xiao Zheng thought, Chief Liu didn't ask Chen Hong to come with him in the end.
County Party Secretary Xiao Jingyu introduced Xiao Zheng and Xu Changyun. Liu Qingwei said: "Mayor Xiao, we are very familiar with each other. Director Xu, we were not very familiar before. This is the first time we have dinner today. Come, come, there is no one else."
Right? Let’s sit down and eat. There aren’t many people today, so the driver can eat here too.”
So everyone also sat down.
In the office of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, Chen Hong never got off work.
She looked at the darkened sky outside the window and was thinking about something.
