Xiao Zheng thought, Xiao Jingyu sent a text message at this time, there must be something wrong. 。So, she called right away. 。
The other day, Jin Jianqiang was in high spirits because he had been promoted from deputy secretary to county magistrate. He invited Xiao Zheng and others to dinner for two consecutive days, of course, some others also paid the bill. 。Xiao Zheng ate twice, and the third time he found an excuse to decline. 。Alcohol is a good thing, but if you indulge in it too much, it's not only harmful to your body but also damages your willpower. 。Xiao Zheng would not allow himself to simply start living a life of ease and indulgence. 。There's still a lot to be done. He also needs to think about how to achieve success and make his mark in the three areas under his jurisdiction. Not only should he impress his superiors, but more importantly, he must live up to the expectations of the people of An County. 。Since coming into contact with the signed article "Embracing Qiantang" , Xiao Zheng has always felt that many of the principles in it go beyond the current state of affairs in Jiang, and have strong guidance for work. These principles will be useful even in the next five or ten years. 。Therefore, Xiao Zheng went back to his house in the "Jiangnan Mingyue" community, which was less than a mile away from the county government canteen, after dinner at the canteen that night. He made himself a cup of tea and started reading "Embracing Qiantang" for the second time in his study. 。When things got exciting, he'd light a cigarette and before you knew it, midnight had passed. 。Suddenly, Xiao Jingyu's text message arrived, talking about "Embracing Qiantang" and asking if he was free to take a call. 。Xiao Zheng immediately called back. 。
Deputy Mayor Xiao Jingyu answered the phone: "Haven't you rested yet?" It was past midnight, and the deep night seemed to have stripped everyone of their pretense. 。Xiao Jingyu's voice was also very soft, even with a hint of concern. 。This tone of concern, made Xiao Zheng's heart feel like a field watered by spring rain. 。
It's a strange feeling. When Xiao Zheng was a child in the mountains, he didn't carry an umbrella when it rained lightly in spring. He enjoyed this "close" contact with nature. 。Today, Xiao Jingyu's voice made Xiao Zheng feel this way. 。Xiao Zheng also said, "Indeed, Mayor Xiao, you're still up?" Xiao Jingyu said, "Haiyan organized all the articles signed 'Embrace Qian Tang' for me. I just finished reading them and had a feeling of enlightenment." 。I'm a little curious, who exactly is this 'Embracing Qiantang'? Do you know anything about him?
Xiao Zheng said: "I only know that his writing is good, but I don't know who he is? I don't have much contact with the media in the province, so I'm not very familiar. 。“
Xiao Zheng's previous college classmate Zhao Junjie was also not very reliable. Xiao Zheng has already stopped contacting him, and even if they did contact each other, Zhao Junjie might not necessarily know who the author of 'Embracing Qian Tang' is.” 。Xiaojingyu said, "It's okay" 。I have the chance to ask my best friend Fangya, she might know. 。The name "Fang Ya" couldn't help but remind Xiao Zheng of that rather crazy night in Hangzhou. This Fang Chief was the boldest female chief Xiao Zheng had ever met. Because she was so bold, she also possessed a captivating charm that ordinary women lacked. 。Xiao Zheng thought, in the future contact with this Fang Chief should still maintain a distance. 。Xiao Zheng said: “Actually, whether or not I can meet the person behind the pen name 'Embrace Qiantang' doesn't really matter.” 。As long as his articles can continue to be written, we can get some work inspiration from them. 。"Xiao Jingyu said: "I think, this 'Embracing Qiantang' is not simply a media person, nor just a researcher. Behind him should be a leader who combines theory and practice, but I don't know which leader it is." 。Xiao Zheng was very surprised. He didn't expect Xiao Jingyu to think that way. 。In Xiao Zheng's view, most of the leaders above are very busy people. They barely have time for meetings and socializing every day, let alone writing articles. However, the theoretical depth, practical experience, and grasp of the situation reflected in the "Embracing Qiantang" article could not have been achieved without the level of a high-level leader. 。Xiao Zheng said: "Mayor Xiao, with your reminder, I think it's possible." 。But that's definitely high-level officials. Someone like me, a small county official, is worlds apart from them. 。" When others said that, I felt it was true. " 。"Xiao Jingyu's voice was soft with a bright tone, "But you say that, it doesn't match the facts." 。Perhaps you don't know, Minister Lu personally called Mayor Liu of the city for your matter. 。Xiao Zheng reacted a little slowly: "Mayor Xiao, you're talking about Minister Lu Zaihang?" Xiao Jingyu said: "Yeah, among the ministers we know, who else has the surname 'Lu' besides Minister Lu?" Apart from "Lu Zaihang," there really isn't any other "Minister Lu." 。Xiao Zheng asked: "Why did Minister Lu call Minister Liu?"
Xiao Jingyu said: "I won't say anything about the phone call today." 。All in all, it's a good thing. 。。Just keep focusing on your current work for now. 。Xiao Zheng knew that Xiao Jingyu hadn't told him the reason why Minister Lu had called for safety reasons. 。Xiao Zheng didn't ask any further: "Mayor Xiao, it's almost one o'clock, you should get some rest too." 。“Xiao Jingyu said: “You are too ” 。
。。The next day, soon after going to work, the County Agricultural Director Chen Guangming came to Xiao Zheng's office. Sha Hai came in to serve them tea and water, and even lit cigarettes for them. 。Chen Guangming politely expressed his thanks and then asked Xiao Zheng, "This young man looks familiar. Where is he from?"
Xiao Zheng said, "This is Sha Hai, who I borrowed from Tianhuang Town. He's my assistant now." 。"Chen Guangming" said "oh oh" twice, and also stood up to shake hands with Sha Hai. 。Sha Hai had known Chen Guangming for a long time, he was the director of the Agricultural Bureau. If he were in town, as the county agricultural director, he would only be there to guide work and meet with the secretary and mayor of the town committee. As for Sha Hai, who was just a small figure, he probably wouldn't even get a glance from him, let alone stand up and shake his hand. 。Only then did Sha Hai realize the huge difference between working at the county government and the town government. At the county government, you stood tall, and the departments and townships below had to look up to you. 。This is a respect that cannot be obtained at the grassroots level. 。Sha Hai spent a long time at the grassroots level, always "trailing behind in the mud," with no dignity. He no longer knew what dignity was and even dared not imagine something like "dignity" falling upon him. 。However, today from Chen Guangming's attitude towards himself, Sha Hai finally tasted a hint of dignity. 。He shook Chen Guangming's hand tightly, then said politely: "County Magistrate Xiao, Director Chen, you two chat..." 。。"Xiao Zheng said, "Okay, I'll call you if I need anything." 。Although Sha Hai is currently under his command, Xiao Zheng has always respected him and does not treat him as his servant. 。After Sha Hai left, Chen Guangming chatted with Xiao Zheng about some work matters and praised Xiao Zheng for securing the outdoor filming location of "Canglong Sword Rain" in Tianhuang Town. This was a great contribution to An County, and Xiao Zheng deserved the first credit. 。Xiao Zheng said that this was accomplished under the leadership of the Jin County Party Secretary, and it wasn't his own individual achievement, so he couldn't say it was his "first contribution." 。Xiao Zheng was very wary of this notion of "first credit" and "second credit." If it reached Jin Jianqiang's ears, things could go wrong and cause Jin Jianqiang to have a grudge against Xiao Zheng. 。So, Chen Guangming needs to 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 subject and said, "Xiao Zheng, come over for dinner at my place tonight." 。Chen Hong is also coming back, we can have a drink together then. 。"Xiao Zheng happened to have a business meeting this afternoon, and arranged for a work dinner in the evening to comfort the cadres who had been working outside for a long time. Xiao Zheng said: “Uncle Chen, I'm sorry, I have already made arrangements for my work dinner this evening. I am in charge of this area of work, so it's not good if I don't go. Let's go to your house another day.” 。Xiao Zheng himself didn't know why, the words that came out of his mouth weren't "Dad", but "Uncle Chen". 。Perhaps after experiencing some things, Xiao Zheng always had some thoughts about Chen Hong, Chen Guangming, and Sun Wenmin as a family of three. 。So, how come this "Dad" just won't come out? 。Chen Guangming looked a little embarrassed as he said, “Why are you calling me ‘Uncle Chen’ again? Are you angry with us? Chen Hong told me that last time you and the county magistrate of Jin County signed the contract for the ‘Hidden Dragon Sword Rain’ project to complete the ancient street within two weeks, or else you would be held responsible.” 。Chen Hong felt that this was too risky for you personally, so she came to advise you. 。But your ancient street was still perfectly completed within two weeks. 。"Don't you think Chen Hong is holding you back? Actually, Chen Hong cares about you, truly cares. She's always worried that something might happen to you! You need to know her intentions!"
It seems that Chen Guangming's true purpose in coming to his office today was right here, to mend the relationship between himself and Chen Hong. 。After the last phone call, Xiao Zheng had not taken the initiative to call Chen Hong for a while. 。Chen Hong probably also realized the seriousness of the problem, but she was unwilling to call him first. So today, she let her father take the lead. 。Actually, Xiao Zheng felt that matters between two people were best resolved by the two people involved. Don't always involve their parents. 。That way, it's easier to complicate matters and make parents worry too much. 。Xiao Zheng also didn't want to talk too much with Chen Guangming about this aspect, so he said: "I understand. I also know that Chen Hong meant well." 。Chen Guangming smiled and said: "That's good." 。We'll be waiting for you at home this evening. 。Xiao Zheng said reluctantly, "Uncle Chen, I'm telling the truth. There is really a work dinner tonight." 。"Chen Guangming continued to smile and said: "I know that work meals usually end early. " 。Our dinner is waiting for you, we'll start when you arrive. 。Don't drink too much at the work meal, there's good wine waiting for you at home. 。"That's all for now, see you tonight!"
Saying that, Chen Guangming stood up and walked out. 。"Oh, Uncle Chen..." Xiao Zheng wanted to call out to Chen Guangming, but he had already quickly walked out and closed the door. 。
