ank the contents of his cup in one gulp and extended a thumb toward Xiao Zheng: 'Xiao Zheng comrade, do you know what I admire most about you It's your persistence, your never-give-up spirit.'" 。"This...Xiao Zheng glanced at Zhao Junjie and said calmly, "Yeah, just a town mayor." 。"Zhao Junjie's mouth opened and closed a few times, not sure what to say. " 。Just now, I was thinking about showing off my little Kai Yue to Xiao Zheng. But I didn't expect him to be riding in an Audi, a special car! The fuel and maintenance expenses are all covered by the government. 。And Zhao Junjie, he's still worried about the fuel consumption per kilometer every day. This time, if it wasn't for showing off in the county town, he really wouldn't have been willing to drive the car back from Hangzhou. 。After finally gritting my teeth and driving back, I even met an old classmate from high school. I could have shown off a little, but who knew they were already driving an Audi, a chauffeured one at that! What's worse is that they are now the head of a town! Although Zhao Junjie works for Hangzhou Daily and it's still respectable, he's just a contract editor, not a formal employee. Compared to a small town official, there was still a slight sense of superiority, but compared to a town mayor, it's miles apart. 。Although the township is the most basic level of government, it is a real and tangible administrative unit. This platform is only accessible to those cadres who have the potential for development. How many high-ranking officials started their careers as township chiefs, then progressed through positions like Party Secretary of the Township Committee and Deputy County Magistrate all the way to the top 。

Zhao Junjie is a media person who also interacts with government officials every day, so he naturally understands this very well. 。Xiao Zheng is not yet thirty, but he is already the head of a township. His future prospects are undoubtedly bright. 。Zhao Junjie couldn't help but look at Xiao Zheng with admiration: "I really didn't expect it, Xiao Zheng, you are already the head of Xiao Town! When you have time, can I visit you"

As a newspaper editor, Zhao Junjie was also responsible for advertising and subscriptions. Since Xiao Zheng was the town head, wouldn't he be able to promote his newspaper there Anyway, they were high school classmates. 。Xiao Zheng also politely responded: "Sure, but tomorrow is Saturday and we are off work. We have each other's phone numbers now, so when you are free, give me a call and we can make an appointment. I'll take you for a walk around Tianhuang Town." 。Now, Tiangang Town is very different from what it used to be. We are working on building a 'Rich and Beautiful Countryside'. 。"Zhao Junjie said, “That's great, I'll make time to visit you next week." 。"Hearing that Xiao Zheng was already the town chief, Zhao Junjie's tone completely changed, constantly addressing him as "You"." 。This kind of change is exaggerated, but Xiao Zheng has long been accustomed to it. The things in his hands have already been put into the trunk by Xiaochong. His hands are empty, so he extends his right hand and shakes Zhao Junjie's hand. 。

Now Zhao Junjie had two large bags of paper napkins and salad oil in his hands. He hurriedly put all these things on the ground and shook hands with Xiao Zheng. 。Xiao Zheng didn't linger, getting into the car. Xiao Zhong stepped on the gas and drove away. 。Zhao Junjie stood at the entrance of the supermarket, carrying two more bags. He thought to himself, "I didn't expect Xiao Zheng to be doing so well in this small county town. Is it right for me to stay in Hangzhou, such a big city"

Zhao Junjie also found that Xiao Zheng was really different from when they were in high school. He had an air of maturity about him, his words and demeanor were just right, quite humble and low-key. This made Zhao Junjie's jealousy towards Xiao Zheng seem to diminish a lot. 。Envy is actually discontent and unwillingness. True power figures are often those who, despite their high status, command your respect. That's the mark of true ability. 。Zhao Junjie watched Xiao Zheng's vehicle disappear into the night, he also lifted the package and came to the car side, and had to put the things down before opening the door. 。Zhao Junjie thought to himself, when would he be able to have a chauffeured car Someone to drive him and open the door for him No matter how he thought about it, it seemed impossible. 。Driver Xiao Zhong sent Xiao Zheng to Chen Hong's building and helped him carry his things upstairs. 。Xiao Zheng pressed the doorbell. Inside, Chen Hong's mother Sun Wenmin came to open the door. 。"Seeing Xiao Zheng again with wine and fruit, she broke into a smile: 'Xiao Zheng is here' "Xiao Zheng said, 'Auntie Sun, good evening.'" 。Sun Wemin saw that it was Xiao Zhong who helped carry things, and asked: "Who is this" Xiao Zheng said: "He is my driver, Xiao Zhong." 。"Sun Wenmin's smile widened: 'Xiao Zhang now even has a driver, Xiao Zhong, right Come in and sit down, have some tea.'" 。"Little Zhong was very sensible and hurriedly said, "No, Madam Chen, please eat. I have something else to attend to." 。Sun Wenmin was just being polite, not really meaning it: "Well then, I'll see you next time for tea." 。"As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Zheng saw that Chen Guangming and Chen Hong were both in the living room. " 。Chen Guangming, wearing a shirt and black trousers, his silver-white watch on his wrist, was rather eye-catching today. 。Chen Hong wore a purple long dress. A strand of her hair at the front was dyed coffee brown, adding a touch of color without being over the top. 。After a few days apart, Xiao Zheng felt that Chen Hong seemed to have undergone some changes. She dressed more professionally and had also gained a touch of femininity. 。She turned her face, saw Xiao Zheng, and said lightly, "You're here" There was no doubt that there was dissatisfaction hidden in her tone. 。Xiao Zheng thought to himself, "Where have I offended you again"

Chen Guangming also saw this and laughed heartily, "Xiao Zheng is here, let's eat together." 。"Xiao Zheng said, 'Uncle Chen, I brought a bottle of Moutai wine. Let's have some today' Chen Guangming laughed and said, 'Good! With good wine! Wen Min and Chen Hong split a bottle of red wine.' " 。。“Mom, I’ll have a bit of Maotai today too. Why don't you join me Just a little bit won't hurt.” 。Chen Guangming looked at Chen Hong in surprise: "When did your daughter start drinking white wine"

Chen Hong sat down and said, "From the minister to the deputy minister of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, they basically all drink white wine. If I don't know how, it would be quite troublesome, so I might as well practice at home." 。"Chen Guangming smiled and said, "I see! It seems our daughter is drinking white wine for work. She's very ambitious in her career!" 。"Chen Hongdao, "Dad, are you making fun of me"

Chen Guangming placed a small jar in front of himself, then handed a small one to his daughter, then gave one to Xiao Zheng, and finally to his wife Sun Wenmin. 。He said, “How could I possibly mock you! My daughter is now a leader in the Municipal Party Committee’s Organization Department! She might soon outrank me!”

Chen Hong wasn't polite either. She straightened her wine glass and chopsticks, and said, “Dad, don't even try to…” 。"Our office director is still vacant now, I am currently the deputy director. The minister asked me to take charge of all work temporarily. If I do a good job, maybe I can really be promoted!" Chen Guangming said: "Oh That's great! This opportunity must be seized!" Chen Hongdao: "So, I have to improve my drinking capacity a little bit." 。Hearing this, Xiao Zheng felt a little uncomfortable. Chen Hong practiced drinking white wine at home, was it just to go drinking with the leaders from the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department Although Xiao Zheng had a good impression of Minister Liu Qingwei and thought he should be an honest leader... 。What about the other vice ministers Xiao Zheng now understands men in politics better. At the dinner table, they're all the same; a few who can take advantage will definitely do so! They don't care if you're Xiao Zheng's girlfriend!

Sun Wenmin seemed to notice the slight change in Xiao Zheng's expression and said, "You two, father and daughter, have been chattering nonstop since you got off work. Now that Xiao Zheng is here, you're probably done, and we should start the banquet." 。"Oh, yes, yes, it's time to eat. Come on, let's have a toast first." 。"Sun Wenmin said, 'I can't drink much, just a small sip, that's all I can handle.'" 。Chen Guangming, Xiao Zheng, and Chen Hong all drank down a glass of Maotai liquor. 。Xiao Zheng was surprised that Chen Hong adapted so quickly. She had hardly used much time to transform from a teacher into a civil servant. 。>After having some more drinks and a few bites of food, Chen Hong got straight to the point, asking at the table: "Xiao Zheng, I had an information meeting with Liu Fancheng, the director of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection's office this afternoon. He suddenly brought you up, saying that Secretary Gao wanted you to be the director of the Commission for Discipline Inspection's office, but you refused in the end." 。"Is that right"

Chen Hong was temporarily in charge of the office work at the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, and it was normal for her to have a meeting with Liu Fancheng together. 。It seems that Liu Fan has already found out that Xiao Zheng's girlfriend is Chen Hong, the female staff member from the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, so he told Chen Hong about it. 。Xiao Zheng didn't expect Liu Fancheng to be so loose-lipped. Even though it was a thing of the past, why did he tell Chen Hong about it Perhaps because it was already in the past and wouldn't happen again, he could just blurt it out casually. Anyway, he wouldn't have to take any responsibility. 。Xiao Zheng also had to admit, "Yes, there is such a thing" 。Chen Guangming might have heard from Chen Hong already, and thus also advised: "Xiao Zheng, actually, you can consider this matter..." 。After becoming the head of the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission, his status rose higher, and after three years, he would be at the deputy county level. He might even soon become the Secretary of the County Discipline Inspection Commission. 。"And that's not all," 。You arrived in the city, and I am also at the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department. From now on, our whole family will be able to settle down in the city. 。Next to the city government, there is a kindergarten for government employees, and the best public primary and secondary schools in the whole city. It will be convenient for children to go to school in the future. 。With so many benefits, why didn't you discuss it with me before rejecting it! Don't you think your decision is too arbitrary”

Chen Hong’s cheeks were flushed slightly because she had taken a sip of wine. When she questioned someone, there was a hint of confidence she hadn't had before. 。Sun Wenmin also chimed in: "Chen Hong is right, it's not easy for you two being separated by distance." 。If we both end up in the city, then maybe we should consider getting married. 。"Is there still a chance, to get this opportunity back"

The whole family urged Xiao Zheng to go to the city. 。Before coming, Xiao Zheng had already considered the current situation and was mentally prepared. 。He said: "Uncle and Aunt, Chen Hong, this matter is over." 。There's a big reason for this, that you probably don't know about. 。Chen Hong looked at Xiao Zheng and said, "What do you think the reason is"

Xiao Zheng said, "If I went to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, one person among the city leaders would be very unhappy. This leader is the current head of the Municipal Committee Organization Department and also Chen Hong's superior, Liu Qingwei." 。”t Lü Li and Tao Zhi Yao had leaned closer. Tao Zhi Yao stood on tiptoe in her high heels, bringing her hand holding the red wine glass around Lü Li's left shoulder, over his neck, and back down to his...
