Xiao Zheng thought that something must have happened if Xiao Jingyu sent a text message at this time. So, he called immediately.
Two days ago, Jin Jianqiang couldn't help being happy because he was promoted from deputy secretary to county magistrate, so he invited Xiao Zheng and others to dinner for two days in a row. Of course, there were other people who paid for it. Xiao Zheng ate.
Twice, and the third time I found a reason to decline.
Alcohol is a good thing, but if you indulge in it, it will not only be harmful to your body, but also damage your willpower. Xiao Zheng cannot allow himself to just start eating and drinking to live a comfortable life. In fact, there are still many things to do, and he still has to think about it.
Regarding the three stalls that I am in charge of, how can I achieve results and make them unique? Not only must I make the leaders above me feel good, but more importantly, I must be worthy of the people of An County.
After Xiao Zheng came into contact with the signed article "Embracing Qiantang", he always felt that many of the principles in it transcended the current situation in Jiangzhong, had strong guiding significance for work, and would be useful in the next five or even ten years.
So this evening, after Xiao Zheng had dinner in the county government cafeteria, he returned early to his house in the "Jiangnan Mingyue" community less than a mile away, made a cup of tea, shut himself up in the study, and started reading "Jiangnan Mingyue" for the second time.
Embracing Qiantang".
When he got excited, he lit up a cigarette, and before he knew it, it was past midnight. Suddenly, a text message came from Xiao Jingyu, just talking about "Embracing Qiantang" and asking if he had time to talk on the phone.
.Xiao Zheng immediately called back.
Deputy Mayor Xiao Jingyu answered the phone: "You haven't rested yet?" Because it was past midnight and the night was deep, everyone's minds seemed to have taken off their disguises. Xiao Jingyu's voice was also very soft, even with a trace of
Care. This touch of concern in his tone made Xiao Zheng's heart feel like a wilderness caressed by the spring rain.
This feeling is very strange. When Xiao Zheng was a child in a mountain village, he would not hold an umbrella during the misty spring rain. He enjoyed this "close" contact with nature. Today, Xiao Jingyu's voice made Xiao Zheng feel this way.
.
Xiao Zheng also said: "Yes, Mayor Xiao, are you not asleep yet?" Xiao Jingyu said: "Haiyan compiled all the articles signed by 'Embracing Qiantang' for me. I just read them all, and there are
It feels like an enlightenment. I’m a little curious, who is this ‘Embracing Qiantang’? Do you know anything about it?”
Xiao Zheng said: "I only know that his articles are good, but I don't know who he is? I don't have much contact with the provincial media, and I'm not very familiar with him."
Zhao Junjie, Xiao Zheng's former college classmate, is also not very reliable. Xiao Zheng has no contact with him. Even if he has contact, Zhao Junjie may not necessarily know who the author of "Embracing Qiantang" is.
Xiao Jingyu said: "It doesn't matter. I'll ask my best friend Fang Ya when I have the opportunity. She might know it clearly." The name "Fang Ya" reminded Xiao Zheng of that crazy night in Hangzhou, Director Fang.
She was the boldest female director Xiao Zheng had ever seen. Because of her boldness, she was also full of charm that ordinary women did not possess. Xiao Zheng thought that he would still have to keep a distance from this director Fang in the future.
Xiao Zheng said: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether we can get to know the person behind the signature 'Embrace Qiantang'. As long as his articles can continue to be written, we can get some work inspiration from them." Xiao Jingyu said:
"I don't think this 'Embracing Qiantang' is just a media person, nor is he just a researcher. Behind him should be a leading cadre who combines theory and practice. I just don't know which leader it is."
Xiao Zheng was very surprised. He didn't expect Xiao Jingyu to think so. In Xiao Zheng's view, most of the leaders above are busy people. They have meetings every day and have no time to socialize. How can they have time to write articles? However, from "Embracing Qiantang"
The theoretical height, practical experience and grasp of the situation reflected in the article would certainly not have reached this level if it had not been for high-level leadership.
Xiao Zheng said: "Mayor Xiao, after you reminded me like this, I think it is possible. However, it must be a high-level leader. A small county official like me has nothing to do with the high-level leaders.
"
"Others said that, and I think it's true." Xiao Jingyu's voice was soft and bright, "But what you said is not true. Maybe you don't know that Minister Lu personally called you for your matter.
Minister Liu of the city."
Xiao Zheng was a little confused: "Mayor Xiao, is the Minister Lu you are talking about Minister Lu Zaixing?" Xiao Jingyu said: "Yes, among the ministers we know, besides Minister Lu, who else has the surname 'Lu'?
?”
There really is no other "Minister Lu" except "Lu Zaixing". Xiao Zheng asked: "Why did Minister Lu call Minister Liu?"
Xiao Jingyu said: "I won't talk about it on the phone today. Anyway, it's a good thing. I'll explain it to you in detail next time we have a chance to meet. During this period, you just need to continue to do your existing work."
Xiao Zheng knew that Xiao Jingyu did not tell him the purpose of Minister Lu's call for safety reasons. Xiao Zheng did not ask any more questions: "Mayor Xiao, it is almost one o'clock, you should go to bed early." Xiao Jingyu said.
:"The same to you."
After putting down the phone, Xiao Jingyu thought about it and went to see Mayor Hong tomorrow.
Shortly after going to work the next day, Chen Guangming, the county agriculture director, came to Xiao Zheng's office. Sha Hai came in to serve them tea and water, and also smoked cigarettes. Chen Guangming expressed his gratitude politely and asked Xiao Zheng: "This young man looks familiar."
Ah, where did you come from before?”
Xiao Zheng said: "This is Sha Hai who I seconded from Tianhuang Town. He is now my assistant." Chen Guangming said "oh" twice and stood up to shake hands with Sha Hai.
Sha Hai has known Chen Guangming for a long time. He is the director of the Agricultural Bureau. If he is in the town, he, the county agricultural director, will come down to guide the work. He will only meet with the town party committee secretary, secretary and mayor. As for him, a small
Shahai, I'm afraid I wouldn't even hit anyone when I meet you, let alone stand up and shake hands.
Only then did Sha Hai feel the huge difference between working in the county government and working in the town government. If you stand high in the county government, the departments and towns below have to look up to you. This is respect that is impossible to get in grassroots towns.
Shahai has been at the grassroots level for a long time and has been "drag[ing] in the mud." He has no dignity, so he no longer knows what dignity is, and he can't even imagine that such a thing as "dignity" will land on his head.
However, today, from Chen Guangming's attitude towards himself, Sha Hai finally got a taste of dignity.
He also shook Chen Guangming's hand firmly, and then said politely: "Chief Xiao, Director Chen, you guys can talk. If you need something, call me." Xiao Zheng said, "Okay, I'll call you if anything happens." Although Sha Sha
Hai is currently his subordinate, but Xiao Zheng has always respected him and does not regard him as his subordinate.
After Sha Hai left, Chen Guangming chatted with Xiao Zheng about some work matters, and also praised Xiao Zheng for moving the filming location of "Hidden Dragon and Sword Rain" to Tianhuang Town. This is definitely a great contribution to An County.
, Xiao Zheng should get the first credit.
Xiao Zheng said that this was accomplished under the leadership of Mayor Jin County. It was not his own credit, so it cannot be said to be his "first contribution."
Xiao Zheng is very wary of this kind of "first achievement" and "secondary achievement". If it reaches Jin Jianqiang's ears, it will cause Jin Jianqiang to have feelings for Xiao Zheng. Therefore, Chen Guangming must be made clear.
.
Chen Guangming originally wanted to flatter his future son-in-law, but Xiao Zheng didn't buy it. He had no choice but to drop the topic and said: "Xiao Zheng, come to our house for dinner tonight. Chen Hong is also back, let's go
Let’s have a drink together sometimes.”
Xiao Zheng happened to have an investment promotion meeting this afternoon, and arranged a working dinner in the evening to express his condolences to the cadres who had been recruiting investment abroad for a long time. Xiao Zheng said: "Uncle Chen, I'm sorry, my working dinner tonight has already been arranged.
I am in charge of this work and it would be a bad idea not to go, so I will go back to your house another day."
Xiao Zheng himself didn't know why, but the title he blurted out was not "Dad", but "Uncle Chen". Perhaps after experiencing some of the things before him, Xiao Zheng always had some thoughts about the family of Chen Hong, Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin.
.So, this "Dad" cannot be called out no matter what.
Chen Guangming looked a little embarrassed and said: "Why did you call me 'Uncle Chen' again? Are you angry with us? Chen Hong told me that last time you and Mayor Jin signed a contract with the "Hidden Dragon Sword Rain" project team
The ancient street contract requires that the ancient street be completed within two weeks, otherwise you will be held responsible. Chen Hong feels that this is too risky for you personally, so he came to advise you. But your ancient street is still perfect within two weeks.
Done. Do you think Chen Hong is holding you back? But in fact, Chen Hong cares about you, absolutely cares about you, and is always afraid that something might happen to you? Her thoughts, you
You need to know!"
It seems that the real purpose of Chen Guangming's visit to his office today is to bridge the relationship between himself and Chen Hong. After the last phone call, Xiao Zheng did not take the initiative to call Chen Hong for a while.
Chen Hong may have realized the seriousness of the problem, but she refused to call him first, so she asked her father to come forward today.
In fact, Xiao Zheng thinks that matters between two people are best resolved between the two of them, and don't let your parents get involved at every turn. That will more easily complicate the problem and make your parents worry too much.
Xiao Zheng didn't want to talk to Chen Guangming about this matter, so he said: "I understand, and I also know that Chen Hong means well."
Chen Guangming said with a smile: "That's good. We will wait for you at home tonight." Xiao Zheng said for a rare occasion: "Uncle Chen, I am telling the truth. There is really a working meal tonight."
Chen Guangming continued to smile and said: "Working meals usually end early, I know that. Our dinner will wait until you come, and we will start again. Don't drink too much at the working meal, there is good wine waiting for you at home. That's it, see you in the evening!"
"
After saying that, Chen Guangming stood up and walked out.
"Hey, Uncle Chen..." Xiao Zheng wanted to stop Chen Guangming, but he had already walked out quickly and closed the door.
