After the meeting, after some chatting, Liang Jian's trip to Taihe officially started. Accompanying him were Chen Gan, the deputy director of the Organization Department, and Hu Xiaoying, the director of the Propaganda Department. Hu Xiaoying's accompanying him on the trip surprised Liang Jian. However, Liang Jian couldn't ask any more questions because of Chen Qian's obstruction.
We transferred from car to plane and got off the plane all the way to Jinyang, the provincial capital of Xiling. It was already past four in the afternoon. Outside the airport, there was actually a deputy governor and the director of the Organization Department waiting there.
Hu Xiaoying and Chen Gan got into the cars of the vice governor and organization director respectively, while Liang Jian and the director of the reception office of the provincial party committee took the same car. Generally speaking, most reception office directors are women, and Xiling Province is no exception. A sky blue dress, with some light makeup on her delicate features, she looks a bit stunning at first glance. Upon closer inspection, you can also see some fine lines at the corners of her eyes.
When Liang Jian was sizing him up, he was also sizing him up. The beauty smiled slightly and said, "I've heard before that there is a young secretary in Jiangzhong who is not only talented, but also a handsome guy with a handsome appearance. When I saw him today, he really deserves his reputation!"
It’s always nice to be praised by someone, especially if the person complimenting her is a beautiful woman. Liang Jian felt a little embarrassed and said, “It’s just a ridiculous compliment. Besides, when it comes to being young and promising, I can’t compare to Director Ni.”
But Ni Xiuyun pursed her lips and smiled and asked: "Do you think I am younger than you?"
"Isn't it?" Liang Jian was surprised.
Ni Xiuyun's smile grew brighter: "I'm several years older than you."
Liang Jian took a closer look at Ni Xiuyun. Although her delicate face had some fine lines at the corners of her eyes and forehead, she looked to be in her thirties at most. But she said she was many years older than Liang Jian. It's really surprising.
"I really can't tell!" Liang Jian sighed with emotion.
Ni Xiuyun smiled happily: "Secretary Liang is praising me, my subordinate."
"Director Ni, just call me Liang Jian." Liang Jian said.
Ni Xiuyun glanced at Liang Jian, with a light and flirtatious look. Liang Jian's heart suddenly shuddered. When he was in the river, he had incurred a lot of love debts, and now he has just arrived here. , not to mention the unfamiliar place, and the situation is different from the past, so it’s better to keep some distance from her.
With this in mind, Liang Jian became more cautious when talking to Ni Xiuyun.
When they arrived at the hotel where they were staying, after everyone checked in, Liang Jian wanted to talk to Hu Xiaoying for a few words, but before he could go out, he was blocked at the door by Ni Xiuyun who came to see him.
Ni Xiuyun was holding a small gift bag, standing at the door, looking up at her pretty face, and asked with a smile: "Are you free? Can I go in and sit down?"
Before Liang Jian could answer, she had already stepped in, so Liang Jian had no choice but to let her in.
After entering, Liang Jian opened the door wide, followed, and walked in. Ni Xiuyun put the gift bag in his hand on the table and said, "This is a small gift prepared by our Xiling Provincial Government for you. I don't know. Do you like it or not?"
This was something that he had never encountered before. Liang Jian was a little surprised, and after a moment he said: "I should be grateful to the leaders of the provincial government for giving me this opportunity to come to Xiling for development. Why do I have the nerve to ask the leaders to prepare gifts for me? I’m really ashamed of myself.”
"This is an unwritten rule in our Xiling Province. Anyone who comes to take office will be given a meeting gift. It's not something expensive, so just accept it," Ni Xiuyun said.
Liang Jian had no choice but to say: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders!"
Ni Xiuyun put the gift, said a few words, and left. Liang Jian took the gift bag and opened it, and saw that it was a small bag of tea. Liang Jian likes to drink tea, especially green tea. This small bag of tea has not been opened yet. , I could already smell the faint fragrance, which was extremely mellow. Just from the fragrance, I could tell that this tea was probably not cheap.
It is also common for the government to give greeting gifts to newly appointed officials. Liang Jian didn't pay much attention. He calmed down and sent a text message to Hu Xiaoying, asking her if she was free?
Hu Xiaoying replied after a while: I am talking to people here in Xiling Province. Later.
That night, it was dinner time.
Ni Xiuyun came to ask Liang Jian to go out for dinner. As soon as he went out, he saw Hu Xiaoying following Chen Gan and walking out of Chen Gan's room. In front of him was the deputy governor of Xiling Province, the organization director, and a somewhat familiar man. Liang Jian took another look before he recognized that this man was the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee of Xiling. Before coming to Xiling, Liang Jian had done his homework, and all the leaders of Xiling, big and small, could basically look familiar and call him by name. a name.
After several people gathered together, the secretary-general of the provincial party committee looked at Liang Jian and said, "Is this Comrade Liang Jian?"
Liang Jian hurriedly stretched out his hand and said: "Hello, Secretary-General Qin."
"Hello." Tan An shook hands with Liang Jian and said, "Welcome to Xiling. This place is not as good as your Jiangzhong. You may not be able to adapt when you first come here. If you have any questions, just tell us, Comrade Xiuyun."
Liang Jian nodded hurriedly: "Okay. Thank you, Secretary-General Qin, for your concern."
"Leaders, we are waiting over there, please come over there and talk together..." Ni Xiuyun suddenly interrupted with a smile. When several people heard this, they immediately smiled and said: "That's right, let's go. "
The dinner was arranged on the fourth floor of the hotel. There was no magnificent hall, only an antique private room. When Liang Jian and the others arrived, there were already two people sitting in the private room. One was Minister He from the Propaganda Department, and Liang Jian Someone whose name I can't pronounce and whose face I don't think is familiar.
After coming in, the deputy governor made an introduction. In addition to He Youwei, director of the Propaganda Department, there was another person, Lou Jiangyuan, the new mayor of Taihe City who had just taken office.
It has been less than a year since Lou Jiangyuan took office, and before arriving in Taihe City, he had always kept a low profile and had nothing outstanding. The reason why Liang Jian did not recognize him was because the relevant information in Taihe City was not updated in place and did not include Lou Jiangyuan’s photos. Put it up. So, although he knew that the new mayor of Taihe was named Lou Jiangyuan, he didn't know what he looked like. He didn't expect that he would also come to this dinner today.
After introductions were made one by one, they each sat down. Liang Jian sat on the right side of Lou Jiangyuan, and Ni Xiuyun sat on the right side of Liang Jian. Opposite, sat Hu Xiaoying.
At the dinner, it was just some conversation. Liang Jian felt bored. When he was almost done eating, he found an excuse to call his family and slipped out. Not long after he came out, he received a text message from Hu Xiaoying, asking him where he was. where.
Hu Xiaoying also slipped out.
The two stopped at the corner. Liang Jian said that the reception office had given him high-end tea before. When he heard about it, Hu Xiaoying said: "Since she said it was prepared by the Xiling Provincial Government, then you can accept it. , a box of tea doesn’t count. It’s not a big problem.”
Although Hu Xiaoying said this, Liang Jian always felt a little uncomfortable. First, when they were in Ningzhou, Qiao Renliang and the others were uncharacteristic and said some things that he could not interfere with. Then here, the Xiling Provincial Government actually gave him
Gifts were prepared. In addition, Hu Xiaoying actually accompanied him to take office, which was also against the rules.
Ordinary things seemed to become unusual when it came to him. Liang Jian didn't know whether to feel lucky or to remind himself.
Just as I was thinking about it, a voice suddenly came out from behind: "Ah, why are you here? You scared me!"
Both Liang Jian and Hu Xiaoying were startled. Ni Xiuyun stood behind, patting her towering chest while looking between the two of them, curious and a little ambiguous.
"I'm sorry." Hu Xiaoying smiled.
"It's okay, it's okay. Let's talk. I'll go to the bathroom." Ni Xiuyun said and left.
"I'm going too, let's go together." Hu Xiaoying said. She glanced at Liang Jian and left with Ni Xiuyun. Liang Jian stood for a while and then returned to the dinner. Not long after, Hu Xiaoying and Ni Xiuyun also came back.
After returning, Ni Xiuyun always glanced at Liang Jian from time to time, mostly curiously.
After finally staying up until the dinner was over, Hu Xiaoying and others went to other places, while Liang Jian stayed with Ni Xiuyun and Lou Jiangyuan. Ni Xiuyun asked: "It's still early, why don't you go for a walk? It's the first time for Liang Jian to come here
Let’s go to Jinyang. The night view of Jinyang is pretty good.”
Before Liang Jian could speak, Lou Jiangyuan who was next to him said, "I'm sorry, I may not be able to accompany you two. I have to rush back to Taihe to prepare for tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Ni Xiuyun said: "Comrade Jiang Yuan, please pay attention to safety on the road."
After Lou Jiangyuan left, Ni Xiuyun insisted on taking Liang Jian to see the night view, and Liang Jian followed. The night view of Jinyang is quite good, especially Jinyang has many ancient buildings with a long history. At night, those buildings are outlined by the lights
The shape is always filled with a sense of heaviness that only time can settle out.
However, the air in Jinyang is really bad. After shopping for only about an hour, Liang Jian felt a little uncomfortable in his throat after returning to the hotel. When he woke up the next day, his throat was hoarse, accompanied by a slight pain. He set off for the trip.
When he was in Taihe, he almost frightened several people when he opened his mouth. Hu Xiaoying asked him with concern: "What's wrong with you? Why is your throat so hoarse?"
Liang Jian replied: "Maybe he caught a cold last night." He didn't say that Ni Xiuyun left him to visit Jinyang City last night.
Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaoying solemnly warned: "Drink more water and wait until the patient is settled. If he doesn't feel better, go to the hospital for a checkup."
Liang Jian nodded.
Compared to the grand dinner last night, the lineup going to Taihe today was very low-key. There were only three cars. Liang Jian was at the end, Hu Xiaoying and a deputy director of the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department were in the front, and Chen Qian and the Provincial Party Committee were in the same car.
The head of the organization is in a car.
Jinyang is not far from Taihe, and the expressway is only about forty minutes away. Liang Jian took a nap, and was woken up by Xiaowu, saying that he was about to get off the expressway.
As soon as he finished speaking, the driver suddenly stopped suddenly, and Liang Jian's head hit the back of the seat with a bang before he was fully awake, and there was a buzzing sound.
"What's going on?" Liang Jian grinned and asked, rubbing his head.
The driver was coughing and speechless. Xiaowu was in the best condition, so he opened the door and got out.
Before he came back, Liang Jian looked up and saw many figures outside the window. Their car was immediately surrounded. Someone even tried to open Liang Jian's car door. The driver reacted quickly and quickly locked the door.
