e up with any good ideas, Gao Chenghan would treat him as if he were a grassroots cadre, learning about the recent situation in Tianhuang Town. He usually goes to the grassroots level to connect with..."Yang Jie answered Xiao Zheng's call, seemingly with a hint of joy: "Mayor Xiao, hello! It's rare for you to call!""Hello, Director Yang!" Xiao Zheng said, "Today I saw online news reports about the severe weather in Yuezhou, and I was a bit worried about Secretary Xiong and..." 。"Are those reports true"

Yang Jie said, "Basically, yes." 。"This has happened twice before, but this time it's much worse!" Xiao Zheng hurriedly asked, "Are you and Secretary Xiong both safe" Yang Jie replied, "We're fine" 。But this disaster is proving to be a bit more difficult to handle. 。"It's not just about disaster relief, it also involves people's hearts!" Xiao Zheng was surprised: "People's hearts Why do you say that" Yang Jie said: "Secretary Xiong's arrival in Yu Zhou, stabilizing people's hearts, is also stabilizing the political situation." 。Over this period, there have been multiple instances of severe weather, causing widespread anxiety and rumors among the general population. This has significantly hampered Secretary Xiong's work!

Xiao Zheng fell silent. Sometimes, when a leader is fortunate enough to have the support of favorable circumstances—a harmonious environment—everything runs smoothly. However, when faced with natural or man-made disasters, the public tends to blame the leaders for their failures, and rumors and criticisms flood in. If the issues persist without resolution, superiors may also question your capabilities. 。Xiao Zheng felt that Secretary Xiong would probably encounter some unfavorable situations as soon as he arrived in Yuezhou. 。But he really couldn't do anything to help, so he could only offer encouragement: "Bad weather will pass eventually! I believe Secretary Xiong and Director Yang's work will go smoothly!" Yang Jie said, "Thank you for your kind words, Mayor Xiao." 。I will report to Secretary Xiong about your phone call. 。"I understand that Secretary Xiong is probably very busy, so it's best not to disturb him." 。Xiao Zheng said, "Yang Chief, you know that's enough." 。"Yang Jie retorted, "That won't do." 。Mayor Xiao, you probably don't know 。Secretary Xiong attaches great importance to you. He once told me that he has been waiting for you. 。Maybe one day, you'll agree to take a position in Yuezhou and work together to build something! So, when you call, Secretary Xiong will be very happy. 。"Xiao Zheng's heart warmed, he really didn't expect that Secretary Xiong would value him so much. " 。If there were no familial obligations, Xiao Zheng would probably have agreed immediately. 。But that's just a hypothesis, he is already a married man! In his heart, Xiao Jingyu and Xiao Yuan are the most important, so he couldn't agree to this sentence, he could only say: "Chief Yang, I'm sorry, Secretary Xiong values me so much" 。But I know my own limitations and think too much about family. 。There's no way I can take the risk and come to Yuezhou to build a career there. 。It's okay 。"However, Yang Jie showed understanding and said, "Mayor Xiao, you mustn't feel guilty." 。Life is all about choices. You have the power to choose, and there's no right or wrong answer to which path you take. 。Moreover, you went to aid Ning out of Jiangzhong back then and paid for two years. You did so many practical things and good deeds, sacrificing your family's happy time, and made positive contributions to the country and local affairs. 。I admire you very much. 。After you became financially independent, choosing to return to Jiangzhong was perfectly natural and understandable. You don't owe anyone anything!" Xiao Zheng said: "Thank you for understanding" 。“Yang Jie said, “Mayor Xiao, there’s something else the leaders need me for. I’ll go first and contact you later.” 。Xiao Zheng said: "Alright, you're busy first" 。After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zheng and Yang Xuezhu continued to have dinner. 。In the evening, relevant department heads came to report on their work. Xiao Zheng listened to the reports and gave instructions until after 10 p.m. before it was almost over. 。Just as I was about to head back to the hotel, I received a call from Deputy Governor and Municipal Party Secretary Chen Qingshan: "Mayor Xiao, where are you" I replied, "Secretary Chen, I just finished discussing matters with several department heads and am about to return to my residence." 。Chen Qingshan said: "I just came back from the province, the car is about to reach the municipal party committee compound." 。Since you're out, I won't go back in either. 。Want to grab some hot pot with me and have a couple of drinks You should be able to drink now, right My treat. 。At this time, Chen Qingshan came back from the provincial city and called himself, definitely something happened. 。Xiao Zheng then said: "I invite Governor Chen, there's a small hot pot restaurant next to our hotel. I'll go reserve a private room first." 。"Well, then I won't stand on ceremony!" Chen Qingshan said. "I'll just go over there." 。Hanging up the phone, Xiao Zheng said to Yang Xuehu: “Governor Chen asked me to have some hot pot. Let’s go together. You get a private room.” 。Yang Xuehu said: "Yes" 。When they got near the hot pot restaurant, Yang Xuezhu ran ahead and booked a small private room. There were two or three tables in the main hall with diners, but everyone seemed to be focused on their own meals and not paying much attention to others. 。Xiao Zheng naturally walked through the hall and entered a small private room that could seat six or seven people. There were no smaller rooms available. 。In a while, Governor Chen and his secretary also arrived. 。Here, the diners may not necessarily know the leaders, but the restaurant owner does. 。But this boss is very smart, he never boasts and never talks about certain leaders coming to the restaurant for a meal or anything like that. 。He knew very well that once this was publicized, if the leaders found out, they probably wouldn't come back again. 。This hotpot restaurant can stay open because even leaders like Xiao Zheng sometimes go there for a late-night snack. The reason is that the owner knows how to make excellent hotpot. In everything else, he seems "foolishly wise." 。。Yang Xuehu called to Chen Shengchang's secretary: "Let's go out and have something to eat together." 。“Chen Qingshan said to his secretary: ‘See if there are any private rooms available. Two people can have a drink. There’s nothing going on tonight, so you can relax.’” 。The secretary said, "Thank you, Governor Chen," and then left with Yang Xuerhu. 。Xiao Zheng poured wine into Chen Qingshan's glass and raised his own cup, saying: "Secretary Chen, we can finally drink again. I toast to you." 。“Good, poverty alleviation has achieved results, worth celebrating with a toast.” 。"Chen QingShan said, "Let's have a drink!" Chen QingShan and Xiao Zheng clinked glasses and drank it all in one go. The spicy liquor burning their mouths caused both of them to involuntarily let out a 'si la' sound. 。Xiao Zheng said: "Governor Chen, I would like to report something to you." 。Baoyuan County's Baomian Village has newly developed a "Golden Liquid Buckwheat Wine" which is quite good. It has already attracted investment from two companies, and the next step is to go public. 。If you have the chance, please ask Governor Chen to try it. 。"Chen Qingshan picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured wine into Xiao Zheng's and his own glasses. He asked, "How does the taste compare to this wine"

"There's no comparison," 。"Xiao Zheng said, 'This wine is not comparable to the golden liquid rice wine.'" 。"The taste of this Golden Liquid Millet Wine is something special!" "Really Then I definitely have to try it sometime!" Chen Qingshan raised his cup and toasted with Xiao Zheng again, saying, "Mayor Xiao, thanks to your efforts, Bao Yuan has managed to escape poverty! The provincial committee and provincial government both acknowledge your contributions." 。Next, what are your thoughts on this This is a matter that not only I am concerned about, but also Secretary Jiang and Governor Gong. 。Once Chen QingShan said that, Xiao Zheng understood why Chen QingShan was still here to have hot pot with him so late. It couldn't just be because he was craving a drink and some mutton! The question he asked earlier was the real point. 。Xiao Zheng thought, his mind was made up, he couldn't be vague, so he said to Chen Qingshan: "Governor Chen, about this matter, my family and I have also considered it carefully! After poverty alleviation, I plan to apply to return to Jiangzhong and want to reunite with my family." 。“Chen Qingshan nodded slightly, using a ladle to scoop up the lamb slices and put them in Xiao Zheng’s dish. He said, “Come on, eat!” Chen Qingshan scooped some lamb for himself, picked up a piece with chopsticks, dipped it in the garlic and vinegar sauce, put it in his mouth and ate it before saying, “Mayor Xiao, you’ve been away from home for almost two years. It’s understandable that you want to reunite with your family.” 。But there's one thing, Secretary Jiang, Governor Gong, and I myself also want to tell you, if you can stay in Ninggan, the provincial committee will definitely give you important responsibilities. 。As for me personally, there's no way I could hold the position of Secretary of the Xihe City Party Committee for long! The best candidate to take over as Secretary of the Party Committee is undoubtedly Comrade Xiao Zheng. You are the only suitable choice! Both Secretary Jiang and Governor Gong agree on this point! Therefore, you definitely have opportunities and a platform in Ninggan. I'm afraid that returning to Jiangzhong would be less advantageous than staying here; the platform here is higher and your advancement could be faster!After this year, Xiao Zheng was only thirty-four years old, yet the Ninggan Provincial Party Committee was already planning to place him on such an important platform as Secretary of the City Party Committee. This clearly demonstrates the provincial party committee's recognition and emphasis on him. 。Today, even though it's so late, Chen Qingshan came specially to tell him about this matter. There must have been instructions from the two main leaders of the provincial committee and the provincial government!

However, Xiao Zheng had made up his mind to go back. He said: "Governor Chen, your care, support and trust in me, Secretary Jiang and Governor Gong will be unforgettable for me, and I will always keep it in my heart." 。However, I had already promised my wife, and our home was prepared for my return. 。So, I'm still going to go back to Jiangzhong. 。I have already made up my mind. When I go to the provincial meeting recently, I will report my ideas to the two main leaders. 。"This can also be understood" 。"Chen Qingshan sighed softly, “Actually, you've made contributions to Baoyuan, Xiheitou, and even Ninggan.” 。All we can do is to provide location > 。Since you have already decided to return to Jiang Zhong and practice selflessness, we won't force you to stay. 。So, if you have a chance recently, just report to the two main leaders. 。"Good," Xiao Zheng raised his cup and said, "Governor Chen, during our time in Baoyuan and Xiheitou, I will never forget it!" Chen Qingshan smiled and said, "Brother, when you go back, I'll also find a chance to visit you in Jiangzhong." 。"That's a must. I will personally invite Secretary Chen over then! Also, please let Governor Chen know that my wife might come here to visit me in the coming days." 。"Is that so Little sister is coming" Chen Qingshan laughed, "That's the best! Welcome, welcome!"

At the DiJing Box in WenHua Hotel on WangFu Jie, Central Beijing, Xiao Xuan from the State Council was entertaining Du Longfei, Deputy Director of the National Development and Reform Commission. 。Xiao Xuan also called two beautiful women to accompany him. 。Xiao Chuangun raised his cup and said to Du Longfei, “Du Director, congratulations! You are about to become the Deputy Secretary in Jiangzhong. That’s a crucial position! We must all toast you with a full cup!” you having the child." 。But there is a condition, that is, I am the child's father, and you completely sever ties with Xiao Zheng. 。This so-called "win-win" solution astonished Xiao Jingyu. 。"What on...
