Sima Yue glanced at Xiao Zheng, he wasn't sure if Xiao Zheng was truly going to build a career or using the opportunity to go to Ning to seek a more important position. Xiao Zheng looked back at Sima Yue with sincerity, like someone full of passion who wanted to dedicate their life to their cause. 。 Sima Yue felt a little relieved. He thought that Xiao Zheng was probably a truly hardworking person, but he was straightforward and relatively simple-minded. 。Such people, who prioritize work over family and career over relationships, are relatively easy to manipulate. 。He is going to Aidning and will serve as the county magistrate and secretary of the county committee. What's the difference between the two positions? Honestly, it's hard to say. 。 Sima Yue felt that in order to ensure Xiao Zheng's smooth aid to Ning, he should separate from Xiao Jingyu. 。His requirement for the position of county party secretary as a part-time official is not unreasonable. 。 Sima Yue then said, “Xiao Zheng comrade, your request, the organization will consider ” 。but it is not guaranteed to succeed <<< 。After all, the county party secretary is a position managed by Ninggan Province itself, and we are not in a position to make any forceful demands. 。"Xiao Zheng said: "Minister Sima, I understand this." 。But this time, our efforts in aiding Ninggang are so significant, we believe the Ninggan side will also take some concrete actions. 。We are not going to take their place or take a penny of their wages. We will only help them develop the economy, maintain stability, and beautify their homes. Once things are looking up, I'll immediately step aside and hand the position back. Who doesn't want a good home?Xiao Zheng's words were reasonable and Sima Yue nodded in agreement: "Since you insist so strongly, I will report to the provincial Party committee leadership." 。"Thank you, Minister Sima" 。“Saying that, Xiao Zheng stood up and extended his hand. “Minister Sima, actually I was having dinner with my girlfriend today. When you summoned me just now, I hurried over. It’s getting late now, so I should head back.” 。Moreover, Minister Sima is extremely busy with countless matters every day. I wouldn't want to bother him any further, so I will take my leave now. 。 Sima Yue nodded, shook hands with Xiao Zheng, and said: "Okay" 。Then we'll wait for notification. 。“Xiao Zheng came out of Sima Yue's office. Tang Fan was waiting at the door, just like last time, and enthusiastically sent him downstairs, helping him press the elevator button: “County Magistrate Xiao, what did Minister Sima call you here for?” It can be seen that Tang Fan didn't know either.” 。Xiao Zheng saw that Tang Fan, the deputy director, was quite sincere. He didn't hide anything from him and said, "Let me go to Aid Ning!"
Tang Fan suddenly realized, "No wonder you asked me to inform County Magistrate Xiao! The Aid Ning project involves cadre selection and appointment. Now it's under our Department II." 。"Xiao Zheng turned to Tang Fan and said with a smile, “That's great." 。“Tang Fan said, “County Magistrate Xiao, I’m going to give you a tip " 。Xiao Zheng saw that Tang Fan spoke seriously and listened attentively: "Director Tang, what good news is it?"Tang Fan said: "Our Second Department's Director Gu Jiuxian should also go to Aid Ning this time, and he should be serving as the deputy commander." 。"Gu Jiuxian? Xiao Zheng wasn't familiar with the name, so he said: "Oh, the provincial Party Committee Organization Department is where a leader should go." 。"Tang Fan said, "County Magistrate Xiao, when you went to aid Ning Prefecture, were you also serving as deputy commander?" Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "I'm not sure." 。Sima Minister didn't give me a clear answer. 。“It was Xiao Zheng who himself proposed to take up the position of county Party secretary as an affiliate cadre, but the organization has not yet made a final decision, so everything is still unknown! Xiao Zheng didn't want to tell Tang Fan.” 。Tang Fan nodded and said, "County Magistrate Xiao, if you could take on the role of deputy commander, that would be a great thing. 。Imagine you've just been promoted to county magistrate. If you could get directly promoted to deputy commander, that would be equivalent to a deputy provincial-level official. 。equal to promotion in two levels within half a year! This promotion speed is simply like riding a rocket. 。From a personal development perspective, this is undoubtedly the best outcome. Who wouldn't want to advance faster? 。But actually, Xiao Zheng's biggest desire was to serve as the county party secretary. He wasn't greedy; he was content with going from county magistrate to county party secretary because it allowed him to get things done. 。A county party secretary can have a more immediate and visible impact on poverty alleviation and wealth creation than a deputy commander. This is exactly what Xiao Zheng wants. 。Get down to business, climb the ladder step by step! This might be too tiring and unrewarding for speculators, but it's the path Xiao Zheng has set for himself. 。So, Xiao Zheng just said: "I don't think about such good things anymore." 。Tang Fan replied, “County Magistrate Xiao, you must think about this good thing.” 。To be honest, what are we doing this for? Isn't it for a good future?!"
Tang Fan was very sincere with himself. Although he wasn't ambitious enough, Xiao Zheng still felt that he was a genuine person, so he smiled and said: "That's right." 。Mr. Tang, I'll rely on your guidance in the future. 。In two days, I'll treat you to a meal. 。“They had already arrived at the foot of the building. Tang Fan extended his hand to Xiao Zheng: “Thank you, County Magistrate Xiao, but I’m afraid you will be leaving soon.” 。"Xiao Zheng smiled and said, “Let's have a gathering before we depart.” 。Tang Fan also laughed and said, "Alright then, I'll be waiting to have a drink with County Magistrate Xiao." 。Xiao Zheng got into the car, started the Audi, waved to Tang Fan, and then drove away. 。Seeing that Xiao Zheng was driving a high-end Audi and that County Magistrate Xiao did not have a driver, but drove himself, it could be seen that the Xiao family was wealthy! As both a county magistrate and a wealthy person, he is about to aid Ning (presumably a region or project). His future prospects are truly bright! Tang Fan cherishes the opportunity to know Xiao Zheng. 。If Xiao Zheng ever needs help in the future, I must give him my full support. 。Tang Fan had spent eight years at the provincial Party committee Organization Department before finally being promoted to deputy director. 。His predecessor, Gu Jiuxian, had been a section chief for fifteen years after working there for fifteen years. 。Another three years have passed, and Gu Jiuxian finally landed the position of deputy commander of Yaining. If he hadn't gotten this opportunity, he would probably have to serve for a few more years before being transferred out. 。The best years of my life were spent in this department, pouring over books and working tirelessly. 。The Provincial Committee Organization Department, it sounds pretty good on the outside. They say that following the Organization Department means annual progress. 。It's a different story when you're actually in it! The frustrations and hardships are something only you truly know. 。。Each shrimp has its own path, each crab has its own way, each showing off their unique abilities. 。Tang Fan couldn't be sure, but Xiao Zheng would definitely be able to help him in the future. 。Even if there's just a sliver of hope, it's better than nothing, right?
As Xiao Zheng drove back to the Xiao family home, dusk settled over the city, illuminated by streetlights that cast golden bubbles into the sky. 。At this moment, Xiao Jingyu was speaking with his grandmother, Mrs. Ye, inside her room. 。Ye's given name is Ye Chuan Ying, and she is a retired cadre. 。While her son Xiao Xing Shi was stationed on the border and her husband had passed away, she single-handedly raised both Xiao Jing Yu and Xiao Zhan Yu. 。Ye Chuan'ying dotes on both her grandsons, Xiao Zhan Yu and Xiao Jing Yu. 。In Ye Chuan'ying's eyes, Xiao Zhan'yu excels in being sensible and responsible. He takes everything seriously. Although Xiao Xingshi was away from home for many years during his childhood, his father's words seemed to come from afar. Xiao Zhan'yu always listened attentively and never dared to disobey. 。So, when it came to marriage, Xiao Zhanyu also completely followed his father's arrangements. 。In fact, Xiao Zhanyu had a crush on a female officer while he was in the military academy, but her family background wasn't good enough. Xiao Xingshi didn't approve and chose Zhao's family for Xiao Zhanyu. 。Although Xiao Zhanyu was heartbroken, he didn't dare to refuse. In the end, he agreed to his father's request and married Zhao Fei from the Zhao family. 。Sun Zi Xiao Zhan Yu's sacrifice in love, Ye Chuan Ying naturally knows. 。He also felt sorry for his grandson, but after all, this family was under the control of Xiao Xingshi. She didn't want to say too much. Since her grandson finally chose to obey his father, she just pretended it wasn't a big deal and let things go. 。Unlike Xiao Zhan Yu, she never listened to Xiao Zhan Yu like he did. 。She has been particularly strong-willed since she was young, and in her mind, she firmly believes that her mother's early death was due to her father's inadequate care. 。If a husband can't even take care of his own wife, and she leaves this world so early, then what else does it matter? 。Therefore, Xiao Jingyu has always distrusted her father; she trusts her intuition more. 。If she followed her father's wishes, she should remain in the provincial department and marry Sima Yue, becoming Mrs. Sima and living a life of ease within the influential family. 。If that were truly the case, how could there be all the wonderful experiences after arriving in An County and Jingzhou?! Life is something one must grasp for oneself. The trials and tribulations at the grassroots level made Xiao Jingyu realize this even more clearly. 。After many days apart, Xiao Jingyu greeted his grandmother, Ye Chuanying. Then, they sat in the house and chatted about various trivial matters. 。Then, Xiao Jingyu suddenly remembered something and said, "Grandma, I haven't given you a shoulder massage or back rub in ages." 。Come, sit down in the chair and let me give you a shoulder massage and rub your back. 。Oh. 。This is the phrase Grandma wants to hear the most. 。"Ye Chuan Ying's crow's feet crinkled at the corners of her eyes, "Whether it's traditional Chinese medicine or the nanny at home, when it comes to kneading shoulders and pounding backs, nothing compares to the comfort Jing Yu gives me." 。Ye Chuan Ying is telling the truth, Xiao Jingyu and grandma have a very good relationship. Since he was young, he knew his grandmother had worked hard, so he would often give her a shoulder massage or back rub. 。Every time this happened, it was Ye Chuanying's most enjoyable moment of the day. 。At this moment, Xiao Jingyu's slender fingers fell on Ye Chuanying's shoulder. They were delicate and supple, with just the right amount of strength. The comfort on her rigid shoulder muscles was like a stone thrown into a lake, rippling out in circles. 。From Ye Chuan's lips came an involuntary sigh of "Aiyo, that feels so good!" 。Xiao Jingyu then said, "Grandma, as long as Father agrees to my marriage with Xiao Zheng, I can come back to see you often in the future and give you a back rub every week. " 。"Ye Chuan'ying originally closed her eyes, slightly opened them, and asked: “Jing Yu ah, I know you have had your own ideas since childhood” 。But when it comes to choosing a husband, it's a lifelong decision and you shouldn't make it out of anger. 。Especially, don't argue with your father. Don't refuse to be with someone just because he wants you to, and don't insist on being with someone just because he forbids it. 。"Will you promise me that?"
Xiao Jingyu said: "Of course. " 。Grandma, I can promise you one hundred percent that in my lifelong affairs, I will never make rash decisions. 。She kept her hands busy. 。Ye Chuan'ying's back felt another wave of comfort, and her eyes closed again. 。After that wave of pleasantness subsided, Ye Chuan'ying opened her eyes again and said, “Do you really think the Xiao Zheng you speak of is better than Sima Yue? I've met Sima Yue many times at our home. He's a very good child.” 。"Could it be that Xiao Zheng is even stronger than him?"
Xiao Jingyu didn't argue, but said: "Grandma, I only ask you one thing..." 。Later on, when Xiao Zheng comes back for dinner, you just have to not wear colored glasses and look at him. 。I know grandma is best at reading people. Look at Xiao Zheng and Sima Yue, how do they compare?
