Chapter 32: Chen Hong Arrives in Town

ao Zheng took quite a while. 。Once he finished the call, Chen Hong asked, "Whose phone was that" Xiao Zheng said, "It's our town head, not his deputy." 。"Chen Hong was a little surprised: "Mayor Guan...Xiao Zheng said, "Guan Zhen, perhaps we can try to make it first." 。Local leaders definitely think more deeply than we do. 。We can actually get started first. If we can make it work, I think the county leaders will be able to see it too. Then maybe they'll support us. 。"Well, after your deputy town chief position is confirmed, we can bring it up at the first meeting of the town's Party-Government-People's Congress." 。Xiao Zheng asked: "Guan Zhen, when will my application to be promoted to deputy town head be approved" Guan Wenwei said: "I have urged Zhang Qing to submit the request to the County Committee Organization Department this afternoon. It depends on when they can approve it." 。“As for the organizational procedures, Xiao Zheng wasn't particularly familiar with them, so he asked, “What’s the general timeframe” Guan Wenwei said, "Appointing a 'Deputy Town Chief' to a township seems like a simple matter, but it also has to go through the Party Committee and the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, so it depends on when the Party Committee and the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee will meet and whether they can schedule an agenda item for cadre appointments.” 。So, it could be within a week or two, or maybe two to three months. 。“Two or three months Xiao Zheng was surprised: “That’s too long, isn’t it” Guan Wenwei smiled and said, “Things in the organization sometimes take time.” 。Xiao Zheng thought, but work sometimes couldn't wait. 。Guan Wenwei saw Xiao Zheng's anxiety, and he said: "But maybe it can be done in a week." 。Brother, before your deputy mayor position is officially confirmed, don't touch the safety inspection work. Just in case anything goes wrong, you won't be held accountable. 。"Xiao Zheng said, "Guan Zhen, if you don't hold me responsible, then wouldn't you have to take responsibility In the absence of a deputy town mayor in charge, the town mayor is definitely responsible." 。"

Guan Wenwei said: “My words, in the end, are good.” 。Xiao Zheng could feel that Guan Wenwei was thinking of him, Xiao Zheng. 。Xiao Zheng still hoped that this deputy town chief position would be approved as soon as possible. He didn't want to shirk the responsibilities he should bear. 。More importantly, he wanted to advance the "mining shutdown and ecological restoration" work in the town as soon as possible. Without this work progressing, there would be no future for Fengqixi Village, or any of the other villages. 。That day, they couldn't chat about anything substantial. Since it was getting late, the two of them went home from work. 。Guan Wenwei said he had an appointment in the county town and asked Xiao Zheng if he wanted to go together. Xiao Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, after drinking, I can't ride a motorcycle. There are very few cars from the county to the town, it's too inconvenient, so I won't go today." 。"Then I won't pressure you today." 。But, brother, I have a suggestion for you. 。Why don't we buy a house in the county town sometime After work, you can just go to the county town. 。Only after the recent incident did I realize how important networking is. 。Networking requires frequent gatherings and activities to cultivate and maintain. It's more convenient for you since you live in the county. I can take you to more social events, expanding your connections. This will definitely benefit your growth. You can't stay in this town forever, right 。I've also been thinking about buying a house in the county recently. 。"Guan Wenwei was delighted when he heard his suggestion had been accepted: "Really That's wonderful!" 。Which property development do you like Tell Big Brother, I know many developers and can at least get you a discount of one or two hundred yuan per square meter. 。"Xiao Zhengdao: "Then thank you, big brother first." 。"

They came to the corridor, and Guan Wenwei asked again, "By the way, brother, how's your girlfriend doing I heard that you had a girlfriend before, who was teaching in the county town Her family seemed to be pretty well-off. How is she doing now" This question was also one that Xiao Zheng had been racking his brains about recently. He didn't want to say much, so he replied, "There have been some minor setbacks, but overall things are looking up." 。"Haha, overall good This summary of yours is great!" 。"I actually had another idea," Guan Wenwei said with a smile. 。Actually, in our town, Xiao Li and Li Haiyan are not bad girls. 。I hear she always calls you "Master before Master after," and when she looks at you, her eyes are full of admiration. 。The key is that this girl is honest and kind. 。Of course, that's just me saying. 。Xiao Zheng was taken aback, he hadn't expected Guan Wenwei to have noticed the unusual relationship between Li Haiyan and himself. 。But deep down, he still placed Chen Hong, with whom he had nine years of love and affection, in a more important position. 。So, he and Li Haiyan are probably not a match. 。He was afraid that he would affect Li Haiyan, and people would misunderstand that he really had something with Li Haiyan. This would affect Li Haiyan's future search for a partner. 。"Brother, me and Haiyan are just ordinary colleagues," Xiao Zheng hurriedly explained. 。Guan Wenwei smiled: "Good, good. I'm just saying that, you certainly know this yourself." 。Don't worry, I won't just tell anyone else. 。"Xiao Zheng said: "Thank you, big brother" 。"Let's get off work," said Guan Wenwei. 。Guan Wenwei locked the office door and walked towards the stairs with Xiao Zheng. 。At this moment, the door on the east side suddenly creaked open. 。Guan Wenwei and Xiao Zheng both froze, turned around, and saw Song Guoming walking out of his office. 。Xiao Zheng thought Song Guoming had already left work, but he was still in the office. 。So he probably heard their conversation in the hallway just now. 。The head of the district's reaction was quick, he said: "Song Shuji, you just got off work too" "Hmm" 。。Xiao Zheng also called out: "Song Shuji." 。"Song Guoming didn't even hum in response, and walked from between Guan Wenwei and Xiao Zheng forward." 。As for the question he had just asked, Song Guoming seemed not to require an answer from them. 。By the time Deng Wenwei and Xiao Zheng reached the first floor, Song Guoming had already gotten into his chauffeured car and sped away after encountering them at the door. 。Guanw Wenwei's driver, Xiaofeng, saw them get off and drove the car to Guanw Wenwei. Guanw Wenwei got in the car and said: "See you tomorrow." 。"Xiao Zheng said: "Guan Zhen, see you tomorrow." 。Guan Wenwei's car also drove out of the Town Government gate. 。Xiao Zheng didn't ride a motorcycle. He walked directly from the government office to the dormitory, thinking to himself, "Today Song Guoming saw me with Mayor Guan, he must have put me on Mayor Guan's side in his mind, and he will even more likely see me as an opponent from now on" However, there's nothing to be afraid of. 。After all, since what happened with Tan Xiaojie, Song Guoming has never seen himself again, and probably won't in the future. 。

The road, you still have to walk out yourself. It's impossible to rely on Song Guoming to change his attitude towards you. 。Before, Xiao Zheng didn't want to have anything to do with the supervision work anymore, but now that he had to do it, Xiao Zheng even hoped that the County Party Committee Organization Department could approve his deputy town chief position as soon as possible. 。That night, Xiao Zheng ordered a bowl of zhajiang knife-shaved noodles at a small noodle shop in town. He added a poached egg and some vegetables. 。But it always feels a little bland. 。Xiao Zheng thought, at this moment, the mayor Guan Wenwei should be toasting and drinking with the county leaders. 。Xiao Zheng wasn't too keen on socializing, and eating alone really did feel like just eating, almost flavorless. 。Perhaps you could add some fun to yourself Xiao Zheng said to the proprietress, "Give me two bottles of beer." 。"Half-past the prime but still charming, the tavern owner immediately brought over two bottles of beer and two glasses. She said to the young man, "Young man, drinking alone is too boring." 。I'll have a drink with you. 。She poured the beer in both cups, her movements smooth and practiced, as if she had a knack for "pouring until it flows down the glass". In an instant, both glasses were full to the brim, without a single bubble. 。Here, let's have a drink. 。The proprietress handed one of the beers to Xiao Zheng, and took the other one herself. She clinked glasses with him loudly. 。Xiao Zheng instantly felt that this small noodle shop also had a bit of warmth. He said, "Cheers" 。They both emptied their full glasses of beer. 。The proprietress poured another beer for Xiao Zheng and said, "This one's on me. The next one, you buy it yourself." 。"Xiao Zheng smiled and said, “Thank you, Madam.” 。“The proprietress said again, “Young man, I often see you walking up and down this street, and you often come to my shop to eat noodles.” 。I've never seen you drink before, I thought you were still a kid and that's why I didn't talk to you. 。Today I saw you drinking, it seems like a real man, that's why I came over to chat with you. 。"Where do you work around town"

Xiao Zheng had lived on this street for many years, but working in the marginal office of the safety supervision station for so long had made him feel down and he hadn't really tried to get to know the townspeople. 。When someone is having a rough time, they often unconsciously shrink their circle of activities. 。Today, Xiao Zheng drank a few glasses of wine, and his mood relaxed. He replied, "I work at the Town Government." 。“The boss lady was a little surprised and said, “You’re a state cadre That's quite a good job!” The women who run small shops in town naturally have a kind of reverence for the town cadres. She smiled and said, “Nice to meet you today. It’ll be much more convenient when I need to go to the town government office.” 。Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "If you have anything in the future, you can find me." 。"That's wonderful," the proprietress said. "What's your name" Xiao Zheng didn't hide it, and told her. 。After drinking beer and having dinner, when Xiao Zheng was about to pay, the proprietress refused to accept his money: "Today, I insist on treating you to this meal." >>> 。You're the only local official I know from working at the government office! From now on, we ordinary people will need your help to look out for us. 。Xiao Zheng thought, ordinary people think cadres are too capable, many times, a small cadre can't even protect himself, let alone others. 。But the proprietress insisted on not accepting any payment, and he had no choice. After thinking about it, this meal wouldn't cost more than a dozen dollars, Xiao Zheng said, "Next time I come, you must accept payment, otherwise I won't come." 。“Next time you come, you’ll have to pay. I promise I won't stop you.” 。After drinking a few beers, Xiao Zheng returned to his old dormitory, washed up, lay on his bed and flipped through some books before falling asleep. 。The next afternoon, Chen Hong did arrive as expected. 。She was driven here by her father Chen Guangming's personal car. Her driver also brought out five or six potted plants from the trunk, including philodendrons, red prayer plants, and spider plants. 。It was before quitting time, and some cadres in town also saw Chen Hong arriving in a chauffeured car, and couldn't help but feel envy: "Xiao Zheng recently became a member of the Party Committee, and he has a girlfriend who picks him up and drops him off by car. He must be on a roll!" Cai Shaohua came out of his office and was going to the second-floor secretary's office when he recognized the car that picked up Chen Hong... 。The jealousy in my heart flared even hotter. 。ar They must be either nouveau riche or officials! The other patients' families at the entrance were all guessing who would have such an imposing relativeThe young man squatting beside Xiao Zheng stop...
