"County Magistrate Hu, you are now well-known in our Yongzhou officialdom."
Qin Xiao picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "The boss admires you very much. He often talks about your actions in Lanshan County and sighs that it would be great if you could be in Qixi County."
"Afei, Secretary Fang was the deputy secretary-general of the city government before he came to Qixi."
Guan Mingsong chuckled. Hu Fei was a little confused when he saw Qin Xiao appear. He knew that Hu Fei didn't know about the changes in Qixi's officialdom, so he gave him a timely reminder.
Although Hu Fei didn't know that Qixi's officialdom had undergone great changes, as the deputy county magistrate of Lanshan County, the smart heads in the city government must have known something about it.
Moreover, there are only a few deputy secretaries-general of the municipal government. Even if Hu Fei has not dealt with Fang Zhantang, he will at least have heard of his name.
"Secretary Fang is too polite, but he is just doing his job."
Hu Fei glanced at Guan Mingsong gratefully. He had been so busy recently that he really didn't know that Fang Zhantang was parachuted in as the top leader of the Qixi County Party Committee by the deputy secretary of the municipal government.
Hu Fei, the man named Fang Zhantang, naturally knew that Fang Zhantang had no experience in grassroots work. He had been working in government agencies and had once visited Maziying Township for inspection. However, Hu Fei happened to be away from the village that time, and the two missed the opportunity to meet. Later,
I still heard what Gu Qilan said, saying that Fang Zhantang was very satisfied with the work in the township.
"Although it's just a matter of responsibility, some people do it, some people don't even do it, and of course, there are some people who work hard just like County Magistrate Hu."
Qin Xiao chuckled, "If all the officials in the world have the interests of the masses at heart like County Magistrate Hu, then what difficulties can't be overcome?"
Afterwards, the three of them chatted for a few words, and Qin Xiao stood up and left.
"Afei, you are becoming more and more powerful."
After seeing Qin Xiao off, Guan Mingsong spoke more casually. He leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs. "When you talked to Qin Xiao, your posture was more like a big boss than congratulations."
"Lao Guan, what are you talking about?"
Hu Fei glared at Guan Mingsong fiercely, "What's the He Bureau? Now it's the Mayor He!"
"It's the same, it's the same. Now that I'm the deputy mayor, I still do the same job as before."
Guan Mingsong chuckled, then the smile on his face faded, "Afei, I know you want to keep a low profile, but Fang Zhantang called me in the afternoon, so I can't refuse him."
Obviously, Guan Mingsong still felt guilty about bringing Qin Xiao unexpectedly.
"Lao Guan, let's forget it this time. Why don't our brothers give you this little face? I, Hu Fei, am not such a ruthless person." Hu Fei shook his head, "You also know Fang Zhantang's purpose of coming to congratulate me on my wedding, but
, I just want to have a low-key wedding."
"Afei, I, Lao Guan, can't help it." Guan Mingsong sighed softly, "Zhao Mingtang came to me several times to trouble me, and Fang Zhantang gave me a lot of help, but I really can't be more considerate of him.
,Besides, people have good intentions, it’s not easy to know where you are holding your wedding?”
But in this way, it will be difficult to arrange the seats for the wedding. We can't let the dignified county party secretary condescend to sit with a group of ordinary people, right?
"Lao Guan, I understand what you mean."
Hu Fei nodded helplessly, "Mayor He said he would come to the wedding, and Secretary Zhang Bin also said he would come in person. Let's arrange a table for these big guys, and prepare a few more tables. My father-in-law must also have some
Some friends and subordinates are coming over."
"Afei, in my opinion the wedding should be held on the lawn of Longjiang Hotel."
Guan Mingsong grinned, "During the wedding banquet, arrange these leading cadres in one hall and the others in the same hall, so that everyone can get their own place."
"Lao Guan, this is a good idea."
Hu Fei was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded approvingly, "Well, please help me arrange this matter. Although this Qixi County is my hometown, I'm afraid I'm not as familiar with this county as you are.
"
"That's natural. I can find the road in Qixi County now with my eyes closed."
Guan Mingsong laughed, "This matter is all my responsibility. However, if you want to hold a low-key wedding, I'm afraid it's impossible. Not to mention that your father-in-law is the deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Zhang is the deputy secretary of the Municipal and Legal Affairs Commission.
As soon as the secretary comes, your wedding will probably cause a sensation in the whole Yongzhou."
"I see that there are many people in the officialdom of Qixi. If you don't want to come in person, you'd better order more banquets. Okay, I won't say any more. It's time for me to go back."
Hu Fei was startled, with a wry smile on his face. Yes, it's impossible to keep a low profile at all.
After seeing off Guan Mingsong, Hu Laifu returned to the living room. He didn't want to disturb Hu Fei's conversation just now, so he made tea for everyone and went back to the bedroom to listen to Peking Opera.
"Xiao Fei, you have a lot of guests coming to congratulate you on your wedding this time, right?"
"Well, there should be quite a few."
Hu Fei nodded, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Dad, what's wrong?"
Hu Laifu hesitated for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth, "Son, although you are now a high official, we are from the countryside and we must not forget our roots. When you get married this time, the folks from the countryside also want to come and see the world, so we must not forget our roots."
ah!"
"Dad, what are you talking about? When did I forget my roots?"
Hu Fei was a little dumbfounded, "It's a good thing that my relatives and friends from the countryside can come to celebrate my wedding. It's not too late for me to welcome you. Besides, the Longjiang Hotel is so big that it can accommodate many guests."
"Besides, the wedding ceremony can be held on the lawn outside the hotel. Anyone can watch it, and there is no need to worry about anyone saying that we have forgotten our roots and only please those who are officials."
"Well, that's a good idea." Hu Laifu smiled happily, then frowned, "Would it be too cold to hold a wedding outside in this winter?"
"No, as long as it doesn't take too long, it'll be fine. If it's cold, let the hotel arrange it." Hu Fei shook his head, "I'll let Guan arrange this. He can definitely think of it."
"Xiao Fei, I have an idea for the banquet arrangement."
Hu Laifu took a puff of cigarette and looked at Hu Fei.
"Dad, if you have anything to say, just say it. I am your son."
Hu Fei shook his head.
"It's like this. There must be many big leaders attending this wedding. Let them eat together with our relatives and friends in the village. They will feel uncomfortable, and the villagers will also feel uncomfortable. Everyone can't eat and drink well."
Hu Laifu chuckled and said, "Otherwise, when arranging the banquet, we would arrange the leaders alone in a hall, and arrange the lower relatives and friends in the same place?"
"That's fine, so everyone won't feel uncomfortable."
Hu Fei smiled and nodded, "Dad, you should discuss these matters with my mother. If you have anything to say, tell Guan Mingsong. By the way, there is something you need to make clear to everyone."
"whats the matter?"
Hu Laifu was stunned.
"Dad, there are no gifts for this wedding."
Hu Fei picked up the water glass, took a sip, and raised his head.
"How can this be done without accepting gift money?"
Hu Laifu shook his head, "It's normal for relatives and friends to come to congratulate you. Your mother and I also gave you a lot of gifts in the past. Besides, even if you are an official now, you can't refuse normal favors, right?"
"Besides, if we don't accept gifts, maybe others will have even worse things to say."
Hu Fei was stunned when he heard this, "Dad, what should we do?"
"Son, I know you are trying to avoid suspicion."
Hu Laifu nodded, "However, after all, marriage is a major event in life, and it is reasonable for relatives and friends to send some congratulatory gifts. If there is no gift, will there be any harm? Let's do it this way, let's just follow the current situation
The gift is standard, don’t ask for any more, so you won’t look special and won’t be gossiped about.”
"Okay, you can discuss these things with my mother."
