Xiao Jingyu's worries became more and more serious. She asked Li Haiyan to ask Xiao Zheng when he would be free, hoping that the two of them could meet. Xiao Zheng said that he would come to Jingzhou City tonight.
Xiao Zheng had naturally heard about the changes in the organization director of the municipal party committee, and he couldn't help but feel sad. The adjustment of leading cadres was originally a common thing, but Liu Qingwei, the organization director, had a different relationship with Xiao Zheng.
Note. When Chen Hong wanted to be transferred, it was Liu Qingwei who helped him and was directly transferred to the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. Later, in his own promotion, Liu Qingwei played a key role that cannot be underestimated.
Xiao Zheng also vaguely felt that during this period of time, he had vigorously resisted "firecrackers" in An County. To a large extent, it was because Minister Liu helped him to support him that he was not adjusted by the organization. He and Minister Liu had always been in a relationship.
Not much, but he respects Minister Liu in his heart, and Minister Liu also thinks highly of him. It can be said that the two of them are very close to each other.
But now that Minister Liu has left, the situation in Jiangzhong is bound to undergo major changes, and where he will go has become unknown.
On the way from An County to Jingzhou City, Xiao Zheng suddenly received a call from Liu Qingwei: "Comrade Xiao Zheng, where are you?" Xiao Zheng was pleasantly surprised: "Hello, Minister Liu, I am on my way to Jingzhou.
Liu Qingwei's voice was filled with joy: "Really? That's just right. How about I treat you to a meal tonight?" Xiao Zheng said hurriedly: "How can this be done? I'll treat Minister Liu." Liu Qingwei said with a smile: "I can still do it.
Let me treat you to this opportunity of asking the Organization Department to foot the bill. I'm going to the province, you know that, right?"
Xiao Zheng said: "I already know. Mayor Xiao called me this afternoon, told me the situation, and asked me to go to her office." Liu Qingwei said: "I know this too. I called her just now, and she
I said I made an appointment with you. I thought that wouldn’t be a good idea? The three of us would have dinner together.”
Xiao Zheng said: "I originally wanted to find an opportunity to see you off, Minister Liu. However, I heard that you went to the province to talk, so I didn't call. Why did you come back today?" Liu Qingwei said: "I
I need to sort out my work. After the new minister arrives in the past two days, I will complete the handover and then go to the province." Xiao Zheng said: "That's great, I can still listen to Minister Liu's guidance today." Liu Qingwei said: "
We can't talk about the guidance. Let's talk about it later." Xiao Zheng said: "Looking forward to it. So, I don't have to go to Mayor Xiao's place?"
Minister Liu said: "No need to go. Let's go directly to Ren's Mansion, box number nine." Xiao Zheng said: "Yes, we will be there in half an hour." Minister Liu said again: "By the way, do you want me to bring Chen Hong as well?"
Call me?" Xiao Zheng was startled and said, "Minister Liu, I'm sorry, Chen Hong and I have broken up." Regarding this matter, Xiao Zheng did not make a special trip to report to Minister Liu, because this kind of private matter, Xiao Zheng felt
There was no need to say more. Minister Liu laughed and said, "I'm kidding you, I didn't mean to call Chen Hong here."
Xiao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Minister Liu, for understanding." Minister Liu said, "Come here quickly, I'll wait for you in the box." Xiao Zheng said, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zheng wanted to call Xiao Jingyu and ask if he really didn't need to go to her place and went directly to Ren's Mansion? But when he thought about it, Minister Liu had already called him, so that was it, and there was no need for any extra steps.
．
Xiao Zheng said to Xiao Zhong again: "Minister Liu is waiting for me at Daren Mansion. Go as fast as you can, but don't violate traffic regulations." Xiao Zhong nodded in the rearview mirror and said: "Okay, County Magistrate Xiao.
"After saying that, Xiao Zheng suddenly felt a pushing sensation on his back, and the engine speed increased significantly.
Xiao Zhong's driving skills are still top-notch, and he arrived at Daren Mansion in about 20 minutes. It was actually still early at this time, and it was not even time to get off work. Daren Mansion is located on Fenghuang Mountain, and has its own kind of open view of the mountains.
The view was surrounded by green trees, many of which were about a hundred years old. The canopy covered the antique blue-gray buildings of Daren Mansion. Xiao Zheng walked through the courtyard of Daren Mansion and came to the most secluded box No. 9.
The Ming and Qing style decoration, with a solid wood round table in the middle and a bouquet of green plants in a porcelain vase, is bright and vigorous, making people who walk in from the autumn wind brighten their eyes and feel warm.
In the box, there were only Minister Liu and his life secretary Cheng Ye. Minister Liu was sitting on the wooden sofa against the wall, and the green tea was still steaming. Cheng Ye did not dare to sit on an equal footing with Minister Liu, so he moved a chair and sat on it.
Beside Minister Liu, he seemed to be accompanying him and seemed to be chatting about something.
Seeing Xiao Zheng come in, Cheng Ye hurriedly stood up from his chair: "Here is County Magistrate Xiao? Please take a seat." The waitress had also followed in, carrying a cup of tea, following Xiao Zheng.
When Xiao Zheng saw that Cheng Ye was not sitting with Minister Liu, he wanted to move a chair over and sit opposite Minister Liu. But Minister Liu patted the sofa on his right and said, "County Chief Xiao
, come sit here." Since Minister Liu invited him, it showed that he thought highly of himself, so Xiao Zheng couldn't refuse and said, "Thank you, Minister Liu." Then he sat down next to Minister Liu.
Cheng Ye took the tea cup from the waiter's hand and carefully placed it in front of Xiao Zheng: "County Magistrate Xiao, please have some tea." Xiao Zheng glanced at Cheng Ye and saw that Cheng Ye was probably older than himself.
He is a year or two younger, with fairer skin and a slender figure, but he is not feminine, and is quite handsome. He does not give people an overly enthusiastic attitude in his dealings with others, but he is very considerate, and he is worthy of being followed by the leader.
for many years.
Xiao Zheng met Cheng Ye several times, but there was no interaction. Today, he had a close encounter and had a good impression. Xiao Zheng glanced at the tea and said, "Thank you."
Cheng Ye said: "Minister Liu, County Magistrate Xiao, please talk slowly. Mayor Xiao should be arriving soon, I will lead the way." Minister Liu said: "Okay."
Cheng Ye walked out and glanced at the waitress. The waitress understood and walked out. Cheng Ye said to the waiter: "Don't let irrelevant people disturb you." The waiter agreed. Cheng Ye went out.
Go.
Minister Liu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "When did you and Chen Hong break up?" Xiao Zheng's heart tightened. He didn't expect Minister Liu to talk about this matter as soon as he opened his mouth. He felt embarrassed: "Minister Liu, I
It has been several months since I broke up with Chen Hong. I did not come to report this matter specifically. One reason was that it was a private matter and I did not dare to bother Minister Liu with such a trivial matter. The other reason was that Chen Hong was able to enter the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee at that time.
I asked Minister Liu for help. But unexpectedly, I broke up with Chen Hong and was too embarrassed to report to Minister Liu."
Liu Qingwei smiled and said: "You still think too much. Sometimes people's feelings cannot be forced, otherwise it will be torture for both parties. You are not married yet, so it is normal to break up. I can still understand this." Xiao
Zheng nodded: "I've thought too much." Liu Qingwei smiled lightly: "Actually, I already knew it. It's just that you didn't tell me, so I just pretended that I didn't know."
Xiao Zheng was startled again. He didn't expect that Minister Liu had known about it for a long time! "Chen Hong reported to you, right?" Liu Qingwei shook his head: "Chen Hong has never told me so far. Once, I saw
Chen Hong and Secretary Tan went out to eat together, and the next day I asked Chen Hong if she and you are doing well lately? She said yes."
Minister Liu also saw Chen Hong and Secretary Tan going to dinner together? That's why he asked Chen Hong. But Chen Hong would naturally not admit that she had broken up with him, because Chen Hong is still thinking about getting back together with him.
I heard Minister Liu say again: "Later, I asked Mayor Xiao and she said that you and Chen Hong had broken up. Originally, I was very optimistic about you two. You are already the executive deputy county magistrate at a young age.
, Chen Hong developed in our department, step by step, and then became deputy minister and sent out to serve as a bureau-level leading cadre. The path was very smooth and not narrow. However, after the past two years, I feel that Chen Hong wants more than just
These are the ones.”
Xiao Zheng felt that Minister Liu was very accurate in judging people. Chen Hong wanted much more than that. Chen Hong's desire for money and power was very strong. It was an inner desire that could even put aside love first.
On the other hand, her goal was not to be at the bureau level. However, Xiao Zheng didn't want to follow Minister Liu's words because he didn't want to speak ill of Chen Hong in front of Minister Liu.
Xiao Zheng said: "Minister Liu, although Chen Hong and I have broken up, she is still very active and diligent in her work." Minister Liu also nodded in approval: "Yes, she is a very capable female cadre and works quickly.
It's good and of high quality. You can rest assured when you leave the task to her. Moreover, she is still very energetic. She is busy during the day and can socialize at night. She accompanies the leaders very well. You have broken up now. I
I might as well tell you that no matter how busy Chen Hong is during the day, she can still accompany the main leaders of the municipal party committee to socialize in the evening. No matter how late it is, she can still go to work normally the next morning. She makes scented tea in the office, and she seems to be full of energy again after drinking it.
.I originally wanted to remind her not to socialize too much in the evening, but she said it wouldn't affect her work. Later, she really didn't affect her work, so I couldn't say anything more, after all, it was eight hours away."
Xiao Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, Chen Hong has this ability." Minister Liu added: "But, I think Chen Hong may not be a good match for you. It's not a bad thing for you to break up now. You can go your separate ways in the future.
, maybe they can all find their own happiness." Xiao Zheng nodded again, but said nothing. It would be a good thing if they could go their separate ways, but now Chen Hong doesn't seem to think so. But Xiao Zheng doesn't want to bring out these personal disputes.
Reported to Minister Liu.
However, Xiao Zheng still wanted to know about Chen Hong's future arrangements. He asked: "Minister Liu, after you go to the province, will Chen Hong stay in the ministry, or will there be other developments?"
Minister Liu said: "I suggest that she stay in the department with peace of mind and follow the Organization Department. She will not suffer any loss. However, she seems to have her own plans. I'm afraid you already know it. She is very close to Secretary Tan.
. Secretary Tan should make arrangements for him when I leave. You also know that my trip to the province this time has a lot to do with Secretary Tan’s dissatisfaction with my work."
Xiao Zheng didn't want to hide it and nodded. Minister Liu smiled again and said: "To tell you the truth, in order for you to continue to stay in An County for development, Secretary Tan and I once had a problem."
Xiao Zheng didn't know about this matter, and his heart couldn't help but feel hot: "Is this so? Minister Liu, I don't know at all. Isn't this..."
Minister Liu gently pressed his right hand down in the air and said, "Although this involves you, it is not just for you. I am executing the leader's instructions."
"Instructions from the leader?" Xiao Zheng was even more puzzled. Which leader above cares about him?
