eport to the provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, and the provincial Discipline Inspection Commission really intervened. 。Even as a high-ranking official at the provincial level, Tan Siming co...Xiao Zheng was surprised and asked, "Could it be that Xiao Shuji invited me to have dinner" Li Haiyan said: "Xiao Shuji asked me to ask Master if he is free, and if so, we will have a meal together at the Anxian International Hotel." 。"Xiao Zheng was delighted and immediately replied, "Sure, will you be there"

Li Haiyan smiled and said, "I should be there too." 。"Xiao Zheng said, “That’s good. It's been a while, so it's just right to meet my apprentice." 。Although Li Haiyan is now Xiao Jingyu's secretary, she still calls Xiao Zheng "Master" without any pretense. 。This is also what Xiao Zheng sees as a good point about Li Haiyan. 。She is a loyal and honest person. 。Xiao Zheng didn't know if he should drink today, but he still had to consider where he would live tonight. 。If you were to let Li Haiyan arrange the rooms, it would be clearly inappropriate. 。Oh, the county party secretary inviting you to dinner and arranging accommodation for you Is that appropriate

So, if Li Haiyan arranges the room, Xiao Zheng couldn't possibly say anything. 。Why don't you just go to your own room That house, it was newly renovated not long ago, with water and electricity all set up. It's just that no one has lived there for a while, so it's a bit dusty. 。In addition, there are unwashed bed linens and clothes. 。Xiao Zheng took a look and saw that it was only 4:30. Dinner in the county usually didn't start until after 5:30, so there was still time. 。Xiao Zheng planned to go back to the dormitory to get a quilt and some clean clothes, intending to move them directly into the new apartment. 。This needs to be discussed with Chen Hong, after all, the house belongs to both of us. 。After Xiao Zheng arrived at the dormitory, he called Chen Hong. 。Chen Hong heard this and said, "You want to move in today" Xiao Zheng replied confidently, "Yes, I've had more opportunities to go to the county town recently, and I often have dinner there. It's more convenient to live in the county town." 。Chen Hong said, “Okay, I’ll tell my mom and have our nanny clean it up.” 。Just bring some change of clothes. 。 。"Xiao Zheng thought for a moment, smiling and asking: "Use your blanket Are you moving in too" Chen Hong replied to Xiao Zheng: "Don't be silly! I won't move in before we get married." 。"Xiao Zheng didn't force Chen Hong and said, “Then I'll only bring change of clothes.” 。The dormitory in town might need to be used for overtime work sometimes. All the bedding and stuff have been moved out, so it won't be habitable afterwards. 。Since Chen Hong said she had both a quilt and a blanket, Xiao Zheng stopped worrying about it. 。Xiao Zheng simply brought a set of change clothes, stuffed it into the motorcycle's trunk, and went into the county. 。It was already 5:15 when they arrived in the county town, and Xiao Zheng didn't rush back to his house. He went straight to the An County International Hotel. 。Xiao Zheng waited for a while in a small private room, then the County Party Secretary Xiao Jingyu and Li Haiyan arrived. 。After a while without seeing Xiao Jingyu, Xiao Zheng felt a bit alienated. 。Xiao Jingyu's hairstyle has also changed slightly. It used to be vertical, but now it's been cut shorter and combed backward, revealing the outline of his ears, which seem a little fairer. However, his complexion also seems more serious. 。Xiao Zheng couldn't help but recall the scene when they first met. That time, Xiao Jingyu encountered a mudslide and was trapped in his car. 。That evening's Xiao Jingyu, and today's Xiao Jingyu seemed to have undergone a significant change. 。As a woman, I used to be just a mid-level official in the province. There wasn't so much pressure back then. Now I have to deal with those old hands in the county. If I don't put in that extra bit of strategy and cunning, I'm afraid I'll be sold out and still counting their money. 。Xiao Zheng couldn't imagine the kind of pressure Xiao Jingyu, as the county party secretary, must be enduring.

Xiao Zheng stood up and greeted him: "Secretary Xiao, good morning." 。"Xiao Jingyu nodded and said, "Commissar Xiao, please sit down." 。Seagull, you sit too. 。Today we are all our own people, no outsiders. Everyone needn't be formal, just relax and have a comfortable dinner. 。"Xiao Jingyu's words left Xiao Zheng and Li Haiyan looking at each other in surprise. " 。

This was the first time they had heard Xiao Jingyu call them "their own people". 。If this were any other ordinary cadre, being called "one of our own" by the county party secretary, they would probably be over the moon. 。Xiao Zheng and Li Haiyan were both delighted, and they both sat down. 。The waiter first served each person a bowl of sea cucumber congee. 。Xiao Zheng knew that sea cucumbers were said to be aphrodisiac, but today there were two women present. 。I don't know if it was because the restaurant wasn't particular or if Li Haiyan had specially prepared it for herself, so they ate it together.

Xiao Zheng was also a bit hungry, and the rich broth was indeed delicious. Xiao Zheng finished a bowl of thick soup in three or two bites. 。Xiao Jingyu glanced at Xiao Zheng, a smile curled the corner of her mouth. She put aside the almost-empty bowl of thick soup and asked Li Haiyan, "Shall we have some drinks today"

Li Haiyan asked, "Xiao Secretary, do you want white wine or red wine" 。There is one made with black buckwheat, the taste is very good, and the alcohol content is only 42 degrees. Want to try some" Xiao Jingyu nodded and said, "Okay, let's have some black buckwheat baijiu. We won't drink too much, three taels each for us, and four taels for Commissioner Xiao, just a jin>>> 。Xiao Jingyu had already controlled the amount, Xiao Zheng wouldn't be able to avoid drinking even if he wanted to. 。The taste of this wine is really surprisingly good. 。This is neither Maotai nor Wuliangye liquor, the price shouldn't be that high either, but the taste is really good. 。。Only wine is ever-changing. 。That's just what amateurs, those who don't understand baijiu, would say. 。Chinese baijiu, in fact, also has thousands of flavors. A single cup contains infinite variations. 。Only those in the know can truly appreciate its depth. 。Of course, Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu weren't particularly knowledgeable about alcohol. They didn't have the time to study it! For those in politics, alcohol is nothing more than a tool. It creates an atmosphere where conversations can flow more smoothly, be more candid, and feel more relaxed. 。After a few sips of wine and bites of food, my stomach was somewhat full. 。Xiao Jingyu suddenly cut to the chase: "Commissioner Xiao, I heard that the mine closure work in your Tianhuang Town is progressing fairly smoothly"Xiao Zheng put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Secretary Xiao, so far, it's going relatively smoothly. We have completed the mine closure agreement with two villages, and the next ten or so villages will be fully promoted 。Xiao Jingyu nodded again and said, "The progress is faster than I expected." 。"I heard that both villages are in your film crew's area" Xiao Zheng nodded again and said, "Yes" 。Our team was assigned relatively few mines. There's one mine in Maojiacun Village and two in Baishuiwan Village, so my group finished ahead of schedule. 。"It's not bad." 。Being able to lead the way in work at a coal mine shows that Commissioner Xiao is very good at doing grassroots work. 。"Xiao Commissioner, what are your next steps for your own development"

Xiao Zheng was taken aback. Xiao Jingyu actually asked him so directly about his future plans And in front of Li Haiyan as well. 。Li Haiyan saw that Xiao Zheng was a bit lost, so she explained: "Xiao Commissioner, Secretary Xiao cares about you very much." 。You can tell Xiaoshuji anything that's on your mind. 。Xiao Shu just said clearly that we are all "our own people," so there's nothing we can't say to each other. 。Xiao Zheng thought, the last time he invited Xiao Jingyu to dinner, Xiao Jingyu didn't show up. 。Today, Xiao Jingyu specially invited himself to have this meal at the An County International Hotel, there must be something he intended. 。Perhaps because the contract signing for the mine worked out, Xiao Jingyu suddenly felt that Xiao Zhang was a malleable talent, so he invited him to this dinner. 。

Ke Xiaozheng also recognized that he had only been serving as a Party committee member and deputy town head for less than half a year, and it was unlikely that he would be promoted soon. 。Even if you dared to say it, people would think you were too greedy, right

So Xiao Zheng then said: "Xiao Shuji, I don't have much personal consideration >>> 。However, I hope that our town's Party Secretary can be appointed as soon as possible, which will be beneficial to the development of work. 。"Xiao Jingyu looked at Xiao Zheng and asked, "Who do you think is suitable for the position of Party Secretary" Is this a test of himself Xiao Zheng had this thought flash through his mind, but he didn't hide his thoughts, saying, "Personally, I think Comrade Guan Wenwei is suitable" 。He is the mayor, promoted to be the Party secretary, it's only natural. Moreover, crucially, his prestige in our town has risen now. Everyone is rallying around him to work and start businesses, the atmosphere is quite good. 。Xiao Jingyu nodded: “I received your advice.” 。"If Guan Wenwei were to take on the role of Party Secretary, would there be room for someone to become the Town Head Is there any ambition to try for it" At this moment, Xiao Zheng suddenly noticed Li Haiyan nodding slightly at him, as if urging him to give a positive answer immediately. 。Xiao Jingyu actually steered the conversation back to himself again, seeming like he really wanted to help me. 。But Xiao Zheng still said: "I listen to the organization's arrangements, but actually there are many people in town who are more qualified than me, so I don't think too much about it." 。"Xiao Jingyu smiled and said, "It seems that Comrade Xiao Zheng, you lack a strong sense of ambition in your career." 。"Xiao Shuji, actually I'm very satisfied now." 。To be honest, if it weren't for you, I'd probably still be an ordinary cadre, being exploited by some leaders in the town. 。To have come this far, I am already very satisfied, and I've always been grateful to Xiao Shuji. 。<

Xiao Zheng's last words made Xiao Jingyu's heart skip a beat. >> 。

This was Xiao Jingyu's second test of Xiao Zheng, and she was still satisfied with his answer. 。That day at noon, Minister Lu from the provincial government told Xiao Jingyu that the scientific development view inspection team was about to go down to the city and county levels, and she should get ready. 。Xiao Jingyu said that the county recently wanted to promote "Beautiful and Rich Countryside Construction," which is in line with the requirements of scientific development outlook. 。Minister Lu reminded Xiao Jingyu that the definition of scientific development view is still somewhat vague at present. It's unclear whether to prioritize development or ecology, and there is no complete consensus on how to balance the two. Therefore, we need to be cautious in grasping the relationship between them. 。Besides, Minister Lu also asked her if Xiao Zheng, who had saved her, had made any impolite requests recently and that she should also keep a good grasp of the situation. 。Xiao Zheng's promotion was orchestrated by her. Don't let this matter lead to accusations against you reaching the Supervision Group, causing unnecessary trouble. 。It was precisely because Minister Lu had asked that question that Xiao Jingyu invited Xiao Zheng to dinner again, testing him out. 。d said, "Okay" 。"Li Haiyan also chimed in, "Xiao Zhong is truly capable!"At this moment, the waiter came in, bringing red wine and the first dish, a wine-brewed silverfish soup. 。Xiao Jingyu said: "H...
