Qian Ning looked at Chen Hong and thought that Chen Hong was keeping a low profile and didn't show any surprise even if her boyfriend got promoted.
Qian Ning, the deputy director of the cadre department, came today with the task of the director. Last time, Chen Hong told Qian Ning that when their cadre office was free, he would invite them to dinner, and Qian Ning told their director.
The public election was over. The cadre department had been busy for such a long time and finally had a chance to take a breather for a few days. So their director also wanted to take a group of brothers below to relax, so he asked Qian Ning to tell Chen Hong that they
Now that you are free, you can have a meal.
This is what the director of the cadre department thinks. Xiao Zheng is the beneficiary of this public election, and his girlfriend Chen Hong is from the ministry. Having a meal and drinking some wine is just like eating from one's own relatives. It's nothing.
Big deal.
Therefore, Qian Ning whispered: "Director Chen, you said you would treat us to dinner last time. I told our director about this, and director Zhu said that he is free these two days."
The "Director Zhu" Qian Ning refers to is Zhu Tao, the cadre director.
Chen Hong was stunned for a moment. She remembered that she had said to invite Qian Ning to dinner last time, but she only said to invite him alone. Unexpectedly, Qian Ning told their director. Chen Hong remembered, the Cadre Department
They have a strong sense of teamwork. As long as someone invites one of them to dinner, the whole place will be dispatched, so that everyone can have more meals. Of course, they don't invite everyone, so they should be cautious when choosing to invite guests.
of.
Since Qian Ning specifically mentioned this matter today, Chen Hong must invite her, so she said: "No problem, as long as your cadre office is free, I will invite you. Today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow?" Qian Ning thought about it and said:
"I think it should be the day after tomorrow. Everyone can have a little more fun on the weekend."
Chen Hong said: "No problem, let's do it the day after tomorrow." Qian Ning added: "When the time comes, please invite your boyfriend Xiao Zheng to attend with you." Chen Hong said with embarrassment again: "He may not be here, right?
After all, I invite the cadre department, we are all from the ministry, and he is an outsider, so he is afraid that everyone will be cautious when he comes to participate."
"Director Chen, please don't worry like this!" Qian Ning said, "Our Director Zhu has said that he also wants to take this opportunity to get to know Chief Xiao. In the future, there may be things that require Xiao County.
Please help me!"
Zhu Tao is the director of the department, and sometimes he has to seek some innocuous benefits for the cadres in the department. Having more powerful leading cadres will make things much easier. And this time, Xiao Zheng obtained the position of deputy county chief.
The position is not easy either. He must be grateful to the organization department and just take this opportunity to get familiar with it.
Zhu Tao also knew that Secretary Tan of the Municipal Party Committee might not be too good at dealing with Xiao Zheng. Originally, Secretary Tan wanted to promote Yao Beixiang, but in the end Xiao Zheng won. Zhu Tao should take this into consideration, not
He got close to Xiao Zheng. But in fact, Zhu Tao was not satisfied with Secretary Tan. Two years ago, Zhu Tao had the opportunity to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and the head of the Organization Department, but that position was taken by Tan.
Zhen Zhen's first secretary was snatched away, leaving Zhu Tao only a division chief to this day.
Working in the Organization Department, the leadership has high demands and the work tasks are heavy. He works overtime all day long and makes wedding clothes for others. Zhu Tao is tired. But it is still unknown when he will be promoted. Minister Liu has said that it cannot be fully settled.
He still needs Tan Zhen’s nod. He has never been promoted, and I’m afraid it’s because of Tan Zhen’s fault!
During Tan Zhen's tenure as Municipal Party Committee Secretary, the promotion of cadres in the Organization Department was slow, and especially the cadres in the business departments felt that they were backlogged with no end in sight. Zhu Tao only hid these thoughts and feelings in his mind.
In my mind, I occasionally complained a few words in the office, but never said a word in front of the boss.
But in his heart, Zhu Tao was also seeking various relationships. In that interview meeting, Zhu Tao participated in the whole process as the director of the cadre department. He witnessed with his own eyes the deputy mayor Xiao Jingyu, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Gao Chenghan and the mayor Hongxu.
The scene of standing up and speaking for Xiao Zheng. It can be seen that Xiao Zheng's victory is not simply due to good luck. There may be a powerful force behind him to endorse it!
It has been rumored for a long time that Tan Zhen is about to leave Jingzhou City, so it is very likely that Mayor Hong will take over by then, and since Xiao Zheng has a good relationship with Mayor Hong, he should get to know Xiao Zheng first, and maybe he will be able to do more in the future.
What's a way?
This is why Zhu Tao wants Xiao Zheng to attend the dinner.
Chen Hong heard that it was Zhu Tao's intention to let Xiao Zheng participate, so it was hard for her to shirk it. If she pushed it again, people might doubt what happened between her and Xiao Zheng!
In fact, there was indeed a problem, but she didn't want anyone to know. Chen Hong said: "Okay, no problem, I'll tell Xiao Zheng and ask him to come to our dinner the day after tomorrow without any arrangements.
"
After hearing this, Qian Ning said: "This is great!" Qian Ning completed the task assigned by the director, successfully settled the dinner matter, and went back to the office.
After Qian Ning left, Chen Hong became embarrassed. She agreed to Qian Ning, but this meant that she had to take the initiative to make this call to Xiao Zheng!
Before, Chen Hong had sworn in her heart that as long as Xiao Zheng didn't take the initiative to call, she would never take the initiative to call him. Also, even if Xiao Zheng took the initiative to call to admit his mistake, she would, within a month,
Nor will she turn him around! She must make him realize the mistake this time and never dare to make his own decisions again!
But what she didn't expect was that things didn't develop as she expected.
She originally believed that Xiao Zheng had no hope in this public election, but what happened? The result was that Xiao Zheng unexpectedly won the competition for the position of deputy county magistrate. This caused an important change in the situation.
Chen Hong is very confused now, should she call Xiao Zheng?
The best situation now is that if Xiao Zheng can take the initiative to call at this time, she will ride a donkey downhill and resume her relationship with Xiao Zheng.
Therefore, Chen Hong planned to wait a little longer and not call Xiao Zheng yet. Anyway, there was still time before dinner the day after tomorrow. Maybe when would he call?
With this idea in mind, Chen Hong waited for another day, but Xiao Zheng's call did not come. By the evening of that day, Chen Hong was a little impatient. After all, dinner would be tomorrow. If he didn't tell Xiao Zheng, then
She promised that Zhu Tao, the cadre director, would invite Xiao Zheng, but she might not be able to do it.
It was time to get off work again, and the sunset filtered through the window. Chen Hong's cell phone suddenly rang. Chen Hong felt happy. Could it be that Xiao Zheng called to admit his mistake? Chen Hong grabbed the cell phone and looked at it, feeling disappointed. The phone number was
It was a call from my father, Chen Guangming.
Chen Hong answered the phone a little unhappy: "Hello?" Chen Guangming's voice came over: "Chen Hong, it's dad." Chen Hong said, "I know, what's the matter?"
Chen Guangming felt that his daughter's voice was a bit harsh, and he basically guessed why his daughter was in a bad mood, so he asked, "Has Xiao Zheng not taken the initiative to call you yet?" Chen Hong said, "No."
Chen Guangming's voice became softer and he said: "Chen Hong, your mother also discussed the matter between you and Xiao Zheng with me yesterday. We think, how about you take the initiative to contact him?"
"What?" Chen Hong almost exclaimed, then lowered his voice when he realized that he was in the office of the Organization Department: "Are you asking us to admit our mistake to him? It's obviously his fault."
Chen Guangming said: "It's not anyone's fault. Think about it, you didn't let Xiao Zheng apply for deputy county magistrate and asked him to apply for deputy director of the municipal government office. Aren't you just worried that he wouldn't pass? But
Now no matter what, he has passed the exam! Later, when you asked him to give a gift to Secretary Tan, didn’t you also hope that he would pass the exam? Xiao Zheng was unwilling to give it and left our house, but now he has become
As the deputy county magistrate, this can be regarded as reaching the same goal through different paths. Therefore, those conflicts are no longer conflicts! As a young couple, just be more tolerant to each other, and the matter has passed. The engagement on May 1st, your mother and I
I think it can be recovered.”
But Chen Hong was still unhappy: "Then why didn't he call me? Why did he want me to take the initiative to call him?"
Ever since she was little, Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin have protected her, and in their interactions with others, they have always told her to let others accommodate her, but never to accommodate others.
But now what happened between her and Xiao Zheng, these principles have been broken.
Of course, Chen Hong knew very well that it was all because Xiao Zheng was now higher in position than her, Chen Hong, and her father, Chen Guangming.
In their family, social status is the most important thing. Whoever has a high status will be respected.
Sure enough, Chen Guangming said: "Chen Hong, we may have to be more tolerant towards Xiao Zheng. Think about it, he will soon take office as deputy county magistrate. He will be your father and my direct boss; also, we
How many girls in the county can find a deputy county leader as a husband? Not to mention that your conditions are not bad, but even if you don't promote, you will still be the wife of the county magistrate. Chen Hong, sometimes we have to look forward
, put aside the trivial things first.”
Chen Hong didn't expect that her father would treat her discomfort as a trivial matter! It was her parents who supported Chen Hong in ignoring Xiao Zheng before.
But Chen Hong also had to admit that what his parents said made sense. Not to mention in their county, even in Jingzhou City, how many women could marry the deputy county chief? Moreover, Xiao Zheng
The room for growth is still very, very large.
After thinking about it, Chen Hong said: "Okay, Dad, I understand."
Chen Guangming smiled reassuringly on the other end of the phone: "I knew my daughter was the most sensible."
After hanging up the phone with Chen Guangming, Chen Hong looked at the phone screen and dialed Xiao Zheng's number.
Xiao Zheng was in his office. A group of people had just chatted with him, congratulating him on his election as deputy county magistrate. After sending them away, Chen Hong's call came in.
Looking at Chen Hong's number, Xiao Zheng calmed down and picked up the phone. He only heard Chen Hong say: "Xiao Zheng, let's have a meal together on Friday night the day after tomorrow? Didn't you pass the exam for deputy county magistrate? Our department
The cadre director here asked me to treat him to a treat, and I hope you can join me."
