Chapter 1221: Envious

to Huang Bin, “Huang Chief, our Chief Qin has prepared two packs of Ruohua cigarettes for each of us. They're in the trunk of the car. I’ll get you one later.” 。Huang Bin glanced at Li Long and said,...Most of the people eating in the cafeteria were grassroots cadres. They found it hard to imagine that Xiao Zheng was promoted to mayor, but they didn't seem particularly happy about it. 。Is this the true depth of the leader, or are they just very good at hiding their emotions

Indeed, as an average cadre, continuous promotion is often the biggest goal and motivation in life. 。But, in Xiao Zheng's view, as his position rose, he only felt the weight on his shoulders growing heavier. 。Some people in the workplace, besides reaping the rewards of their position and flattery from others, are also adept at turning public power into private gain. The higher their position, the greater their ability to monetize it, and naturally, the more excited they become when being promoted. 。

Like Xiao Zheng, he rejected the pleasure of using public power for private gain, which is equivalent to voluntarily giving up the taste of power. Therefore, the higher the position, the greater the sense of responsibility and pressure felt. 。That's precisely why he treated his promotion as something utterly ordinary, and thus didn't feel any extraordinary excitement about it. 。However, he was quite curious about what ups and downs happened in this matter.

After lunch, Xiao Zheng exchanged a few points with Qi Baiyun, the person in charge of the Tianwa Water Reservoir project, before returning to the county town with Na Junying and others. 。Ren Yongle had also received the news and arranged a car. He set off for Yinzhou, the provincial capital, together with Xiao Zheng. 。On the road, Xiao Zheng wanted to call Xiao Jingyu, but when he saw that it was almost 1:30, he thought that Xiao Jingyu should be taking a nap at this time. He didn't want to disturb her, so he suppressed the urge to call. 。In Jingzhou's home, Xiao Rongrong has been on edge ever since she received Xiao Fufu's call. Hearing that Xiao Zheng's promotion of the mayor had been stopped left her deeply troubled. 。Xiao Zheng didn't mention this to his family, perhaps he didn't want them to worry For Xiao Rongrong, Xiao Zheng's current position is already very good, and she doesn't want anything bad to happen to him. However, the promotion was halted, so something must have happened That's what Xiao Rongrong is worried about. 。After much deliberation, Xiao Rongrong decided to give Xiao Zheng a call. 。At this time, Xiao Zheng's car was approaching Panshan City. Seeing his father's phone call, Xiao Zheng quickly answered: "Dad, why are you calling me at this time" Xiao Rong said: "Xiao Zheng, I just have a simple question for you..." 。Xiao Zheng said: "Good" 。Xiao Rongrong said, "Are you alright recently I heard that they were going to appoint you as mayor, but then the whole thing was suddenly put on hold. Are you okay" Xiao Zheng didn't answer right away, but asked, "Who told you this Was it Jingyu" "It wasn't Jingyu" 。"It's Xiao Fufu, my big brother from Huajing," 。"Oh, I see." 。Xiao Zheng didn't know how Xiao Fufu got this news, nor did he know what purpose he had in telling his father, Xiao Rongrong. However, it was clear that this had caused Xiao Rongrong to worry, which is why he called to ask about the situation. 。Xiao Zheng said, "Dad, it's nothing." 。The promotion has been finalized today. 。I am on my way to talk to the Organization Department of the Provincial Committee. The province has decided to nominate me as the mayor of Xiheitou. 。"

" "Wow!" Xiao Rongrong said, "It's best if nothing happened! I also told Xiao Fufu that I don't worry about you" 。"Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Indeed, there is no need to worry " 。But, being mayor would be busier, and there's no telling when I could come back. 。Xiao Rongrong said: "Oh, you two are a couple, both mayors. It's probably rare in the country to have such a pair." 。Since you've been given the heavy burden, do your best. 。 。Now, the bodyguard your father-in-law sent is reliable, so you don't have to worry about this place. 。"Then we can only trouble you and Mom first." 。After hanging up the phone, Xiao Rongrong couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Earlier, she had told Xiao Fufu that she believed Xiao Zheng's promotion to mayor was only a matter of time. 。Look, I told you so, didn't I But Xiao Rongrong wasn't as arrogant as Xiao Fufu. She didn't call and demand her face back. 。In Xiao Rongrong's view, while it's good to be happy about it, the actual position one holds isn't really that important. Those in power can bestow an official hat and just as easily take it away. In essence, it's just a high-level job, is there anything worth boasting about Those who hold office should be humble and cautious; as parents, they should never use this as a means of showing off. 。So, Xiao Rongrong just told her wife Fei Qingmei about the news. The two of them enjoyed themselves for a while and then it passed. 。On the car, although Xiao Zheng didn't call his wife Xiao Jingyu, he still sent her a text message saying: "Jingyu, the Provincial Committee nominated me as the mayor of Xihe Tou. I went to the Organization Department of the Provincial Committee for a talk." 。Love you, Xiao Zhengtreet, but instead of stopping in the city center, he headed toward the south gate of the county. 。Although the saying "Sitting in a Mercedes, driving a BMW, and repairing an Audi" exists, Audi cars s...
