Xiao Zheng looked at her, his expression still calm and authentic: "Chen Hong, you don't have to worry about me. If I am still the deputy county magistrate in three months, I will naturally do my best; but if it is three months later, the organization...
Even if I am not allowed to do it, I will obey the organization’s arrangements.”
Chen Hong looked at Xiao Zheng, sighed deeply, and said: "Xiao Zheng, don't you know it yet? What is 'obeying the organization's arrangements'? This is all false. You are just
"Obey the leadership's arrangements"! Did you know? My father has been the county agriculture director for more than ten years. It is very difficult to get promoted. But for Secretary Tan, this is just a matter of words.
Helped my dad secure the position of deputy director of the Municipal Agriculture Bureau! Tell me, is this an 'organizational arrangement'? Or a 'leadership arrangement'?"
Xiao Zheng looked at Chen Hong and said: "This is neither an 'organizational arrangement' nor a 'leadership arrangement'. This is a loophole in our system. Public power is used improperly by some leaders and becomes private property. This will cause
Such a situation.”
"Xiao Zheng!" Chen Hong became a little angry and shouted sternly, "What nonsense are you talking about! Do you know what the consequences will be if Secretary Tan hears your remarks?" Xiao Zheng remained calm.
Authentic: "I'm not afraid, I'm telling the truth! Of course I'm not that stupid to say such things in front of Tan Zhen. But if you want to tell him, I have nothing to be afraid of!"
"Xiao Zheng, why don't you understand now? Tan Zhen and I are just having fun. You are my first man." Chen Hong said, "If you are willing to get along with me, I will definitely help you and let you
It’s not a problem for cadres at the department level. Do you believe me, can you?!”
Chen Hong has feelings for Xiao Zheng. From college to now, Xiao Zheng has indulged all her little thoughts. She hopes that this time she can continue to hold her hand like before
.
Chen Hong put her hand on the table, palm facing up, waiting for Xiao Zheng to put his hand into her palm. But Xiao Zheng did not reach out, he shook his head gently: "Chen Hong, I don't fully understand until now.
The two of us pursue completely different things. Therefore, we must break up, otherwise we will be a drag on each other."
At this time, Chen Hong's cell phone rang. Chen Hong glanced at the phone and picked up the phone without hesitation: "Secretary Tan... um... okay... got it... see you in the evening..." hung up the phone.
Chen Hong put the phone back into her bag, then looked at Xiao Zheng and said, "Sorry, I have to go. Let's find time to chat."
As he said that, Chen Hong picked up his mobile phone and Xiaokun bag, and planned to get up and leave. But Xiao Zheng suddenly said: "Sit down." The voice was not very loud, but there was unquestionable majesty in his tone. Chen Hong looked around,
No one seemed to pay special attention to them, so she sat down again and looked at Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng stared at Chen Hong and said: "Chen Hong, let me say it again, except for work needs, this is the last time we talk face to face in private. We can't be together anymore, never. You can have the house, too.
, it doesn’t matter to me whether you want it or not. After you think about it, just tell me and I will let the agency handle it. That’s all I have to say. From now on, you will follow your Yangguan Road and I will follow my single-plank bridge.
Let’s go our separate ways. I wish you all the best!”
After Xiao Zheng said this, his eyes became hot, and tears welled up quickly. These tears were shed for their past years, for their past dependence and intimacy, and for their future where they would eventually part ways.
Xiao Zheng took out two hundred-yuan bills, placed them on the table in the tea room, stood up, and walked out.
At this moment, his heart was filled with emotions that he could not explain clearly, making him appear as solid as a rock and as fragile as cotton wool.
Chen Hong suddenly called out to him: "Xiao Zheng, are you so stingy that you don't even give me a gift?" Xiao Zheng stopped, looked back at Chen Hong, smiled with tears-filled eyes, and said, "I am
They came on a motorcycle, do you want to sit on it?" Chen Hong hesitated. With her current status, it was impossible for her to ride on Xiao Zheng's motorcycle again.
Xiao Zheng smiled again, with a bit of bitterness, loneliness and relief, and walked out. Chen Hong stood there, watching his figure fading away. From the floor-to-ceiling glass window, Chen Hong saw Xiao Zheng "drop of water"
"Tea House", he really got on his old motorcycle, put on his helmet and left.
Chen Hong stood there in a daze, with indescribable disappointment and confusion. She really didn't understand that Xiao Zheng was already the deputy county magistrate, and he could obviously travel by bus, but he still had to drive that motorcycle by himself! Could it be that
Is this what people from rural areas are like? So honest, stubborn, and so inflexible?
At this time, Chen Hong's cell phone rang again. She picked it up and saw that it was her father, Chen Guangming. She pressed the answer button and heard her father's concerned voice: "Chen Hong, how was your conversation with Xiao Zheng? Explain it to him clearly.
Are you here?" Chen Hong looked at the street where Xiao Zheng had disappeared and said, "We haven't reached a good deal. Xiao Zheng is a very stubborn person. He just didn't listen to my explanation and left in the middle of the conversation."
Chen Hong has not told her father the true situation between her and Tan Zhen so far. Subconsciously, Chen Hong is also afraid of hearing Chen Hong say that she really made a deal with Tan Zhen. Which father wants to see his promotion through
What did your daughter get by betraying herself? Chen Guangming said: "Chen Hong, you have to explain it to Xiao Zheng and make him believe it, you know? It has not been easy for you two, and you are not young now."
Chen Hong was a little impatient and said: "I know, I'll be back soon and then I'll drive back to Jingzhou. I'll have a party in the evening." This was the party Tan Zhen just informed her on the phone. Chen Guangming was stunned for a moment, and then
Said: "I know." As a father, Chen Guangming is aware of the changes in his daughter. He knows that Chen Hong is no longer the Chen Hong she used to be. She is busy socializing all day long and getting to know more political leaders. This
It was definitely good for their promotion, but it also made him vaguely feel that Chen Hong was getting further and further away from the family, and that his father could no longer ask her to stay at home and just be a daughter who listened to him.
That night, Chen Hong accompanied Tan Zhen. After returning to her apartment, she did not wash up immediately. Instead, she poured a glass of red wine and walked to the small sofa on the balcony to sit down. Before, when Tan Zhen got close to her, she actually
It's a bit disgusting. The elderly Tan Zhen has rough palms and loose skin, and his abilities are far inferior to Xiao Zheng's. He can't stand the tossing. Throughout the whole process, in order to avoid showing too obvious rejection, Chen Hong kept thinking about it.
Xiao Zheng, it was as if the person touching his body was not Tan Zhen, but Xiao Zheng...
She also knows very well that Tan Zhen will never be her destination. Next, she will get to know higher-level leaders through Tan Zhen. One day, Tan Zhen can no longer do anything to her, and she can dump him.
, I no longer have to endure such nausea. This day will eventually come.
Chen Hong suddenly thought of Xiao Zheng again. After being together for more than ten years, she knew Xiao Zheng's character quite well. She knew that it would be impossible for Xiao Zheng to change his mind during this period of time. But one day she would let him change his mind.
When Xiao Zheng came back to her, he was her first man, and he will always belong to her!
Chen Hong thought about what Xiao Zheng said about the house again. She felt that the house must be in her hands so that she could take the initiative. Chen Hong took a sip of wine, picked up her phone, and sent Xiao Zheng a text message: "
I want the house, so you can have it transferred to my name. However, you can continue to live there until you buy a new house."
More than ten minutes later, she received a text message from Xiao Zheng: "I will ask the agent to contact you tomorrow and ask him to help with the transfer procedures. Tomorrow, I will move out. It's up to you to do whatever you want with the house.
"
Chen Hong stared at this text message, took a sip of wine, and said to himself: "Xiao Zheng, why do you have to figure everything out clearly? You really don't understand the meaning of the phrase 'It's rare to be confused'
?! People in the system, don’t be too serious, the sky is vast. If you distinguish everything clearly, you will narrow the pattern and make your life more and more narrow!”
Chen Hong said, drank the last sip of wine in the glass, stood up and walked into the bathroom.
Early in the morning, Xiao Zheng arrived at the unit and called his secretary Sha Hai over. Xiao Zheng said: "Sha Hai, help me tell Director Zhang and arrange a room for me in the county guest house. I will live there in the future.
Sha Hai was a little strange. He looked at Xiao Zheng and said, "County Magistrate Xiao, where is your own house? How should I tell Director Zhang?"
Xiao Zheng was right when he thought about it. Zhang Litian, the director of the county office, heard that Xiao Zheng wanted to live in a guest house, so he must ask why. Therefore, there must be a reason, whether it is true or false. Xiao Zheng said:
"That house may be for sale." Xiao Zheng did not say the specific situation. He neither wanted to deceive Sha Hai openly, nor did he want to make his breakup with Chen Hong public.
Originally, he and Chen Hong were just boyfriend and girlfriend. Even leading cadres had the right to break up with their girlfriends. This was not considered a major matter and did not need to be reported.
Seeing that the leader didn't say anything in detail and knowing that he shouldn't ask in detail, Sha Hai said, "Okay, I understand. I'll report to Director Zhang right now." Xiao Zheng nodded.
Half an hour later, Sha Hai came in again and said: "County Magistrate Xiao, I have already reported to Director Zhang. He said that the arrangements will be made before noon and he will give me the key then. If County Magistrate Xiao wants to take a lunch break, he will give me the key at noon."
You can go there." Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "You guys are very efficient. Let's talk about it at noon."
Sha Hai said again: "The deputy director of the National People's Congress is here. He asked if you are free and wants to report something." Xiao Zheng said: "Okay, please come in, the director." With that, Xiao Zheng stood up and
Make tea yourself.
When Guan Wenwei came in, Xiao Zheng handed him the cup of tea he had just made.
Guan Wenwei hurriedly took it and said: "County Magistrate Xiao personally made tea for me. I am so proud." Xiao Zheng said: "Director Guan, don't do this to me and make me make tea for you."
It’s all very unnatural.”
Guan Wenwei said: "It's my fault, I made a mistake."
Sha Hai quickly refilled Xiao Zheng's cup, and took out his own cigarettes to share them with Guan Wenwei and Xiao Zheng. Guan Wenwei and Xiao Zheng also took them, and Sha Hai lit them for them, and he also lit them.
After a while, he said, "Two leaders will chat slowly," and then withdrew.
Guan Wenwei said: "County Magistrate Xiao, I came to see you so early. I know you are very busy, so I will keep the story short." Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Well, okay."
Guan Wenwei said: "This time, the County Party Committee Organization Department has gone too far. They are currently recommending cadres, and almost all other towns and villages have recommended them, but they have not come to our Tianhuang Town! This is obviously against us.
Opinions! It’s okay to have opinions against me, but doing this is irresponsible to cadres, especially cadres like Tao Fang, who should be promoted. What they did was not giving her a chance at all!"
