Chapter 497: Unexpected Joy

hs or a year. By then, it's really hard to say whether Xiao Zheng and Guan Wenzheng and Guan Wenwei will still be in their current positions. 。Furthermore, even if promotion is possible next time, it...Xiao Zheng handed the bag to Fang Ya and said, "Minister Fang, this is the medicine our Dr. Su asked me to bring you. Please take it." 。Seeing that three leaders were present, Xiao Zheng felt it was necessary to make his intentions clear and explain the contents of his bag. He didn't want the three leaders to think he was there to give a gift to Minister Fang!

Fang Ya took Xiao Zheng's bag and casually placed it on the table where everyone could see it, then said: "Xiao Zheng, come sit down as well." 。None of the three leaders paid attention to what Xiao Zheng had brought in. Minister Lu also said, "Xiao Zheng, have a seat." 。"Fang Ya's room was a single room, not a suite, but it was much more spacious than Xiao Zheng and the others' rooms. It had a proper three-seater sofa, a single sofa, and a desk with a swivel chair behind it." 。Xiao Zheng thought that since the leaders were discussing matters, it would be inappropriate for him to interrupt. 。 。He simply said, "Okay," and then he got up himself, moved a chair from behind the desk, placed it firmly beside the sofa, and sat down. 。As soon as he sat down, Zhang Wei, the director of the poverty alleviation office, praised him: “County Mayor Xiao, your fist guessing at tonight's banquet was truly impressive. I am inferior to you.” 。Zhang Wei's impression of Xiao Zheng had been rather average before, and they hadn't spoken much. But now, he was suddenly showering him with praise. 。Xiao Zheng maintained a normal heart and humbly said: "Director Zhang, this game of rock-paper-scissors I played before in the town..." 。You don't know that I used to be a general cadre in the countryside for seven or eight years, nothing special. I didn't drink less wine or play cards less. 。Today's rock-paper-scissors game was impressive, but it only goes to show that I wasted my youth. 。"Xiao Zheng said this to report his grassroots experience to the leaders on one hand, and to humble himself on the other. He wanted Director Zhang to feel that his prowess in rock-paper-scissors was only related to experience, not ability." 。"Yes, wasting one's youth!" Minister Lu suddenly chimed in. "I guess I'm pretty good at throwing punches too. It's probably because when I was a young Red Guard sent to the countryside, I drank a lot of peasant's alcohol. We youngsters were still treated well in the village. During weddings, funerals, festivals, even during hard times, we could have a taste of thin wine. Back then, the men in the village would compete by throwing punches. My tolerance for alcohol wasn't great, so I practiced throwing punches to avoid being drunk." 。Looking back, those days were also wasted. 。Yet, this fleeting time has become the backdrop of my life. 。We therefore have an unbreakable bond with the common people. 。"What Minister Lu meant was that Xiao Zheng had once "wasted his youth" at the grassroots level, and because of this, he developed feelings for the grassroots. This is invaluable." 。Zhang Wei immediately said: “Yes” 。So, County Magistrate Xiao, your seven or eight years of experience as a grassroots official is quite valuable. 。Xiao Zheng didn't expect that, although he intended to be humble, he was still praised. 。Xiao Zheng had no choice but to nod and say: "I'm still at the grassroots level, and I will always do my best for the people." 。"Minister Lu nodded and asked again, “Do you know what we're discussing here”

Xiao Zheng was taken aback. He looked at the other leaders beside him, Zhang Wei, Gu Cuiping, and Fang Ya all had smiles on their faces." 。Xiao Zheng was a little surprised. Could something good have happened However, Xiao Zheng really couldn't figure it out. 。At this time, Gu Cuiping reminded, "This is a happy event" 。You are the first ranking official in our group to hear this good news. 。Guess what 。So, this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Zheng himself. 。Fang Ya said again, "Group Leader Gu, according to your statement, I'm the first deputy department-level official in our inspection team to hear about this happy event!" Zhang Wei also chimed in, "Group Leader Gu, aren't we ranked first together" Group Leader Gu laughed and said, "Yes, we are tied for first." 。Xiao Zheng's mind was turning, this matter wasn't his own, nor was it the business of Director Fang, Director Zhang, or Team Leader Gu, but it was definitely a happy event. 。Then there was only Minister Lu at the scene. 。So, what good news does Minister Lu have Xiao Zheng suddenly remembered that Xiao Jingyu had once told him that Minister Lu might get promoted. 。That's all there is to it. 。At this time, Fang Ya turned to Xiao Zheng: "Did you guess it" Xiao Zheng was certain in his heart, so he said: “If I’m wrong, please forgive me, everyone.” 。"I think this must be good news for Director Lu, he probably got promoted to a more important position" Group Leader Gu said with a smile. "You guessed it right." 。"Zhang Wei patted his knee and said, "Good job, Xiao Zheng. Your deductive abilities are quite impressive." 。Fang Ya said, “Today’s meeting in Huajing decided that Minister Lu has been promoted to serve as the deputy secretary of our Jiangzhong Provincial Committee!”

Minister Lu's promotion, and to the position of deputy secretary, is good news for everyone! No wonder these leaders are all gathered together 。Xiao Zheng said: "This is really great news, we should have a drink to celebrate!" 。Minister Lu said: "Then you go get the wine." 。“Xiao Zheng stood up, really going to get the wine.” 。Minister Lu hurriedly said, "You're really going to get it Forget it, forget it! Haven't you had enough to drink today" Xiao Zheng didn't even think about it and said, "Happy events should be celebrated" 。I'm going to buy some wine. 。Minister Lu didn't stop him either, saying: "Don't let others know..." 。“I understand,” Xiao Zheng said as he turned his head. 。Actually, before Xiao Zheng arrived just now, Zhang Wei also suggested buying some wine to celebrate. However, Minister Lu stopped him, so Zhang Wei didn't dare to buy any more. 。Ke Xiaozheng insisted on running out and ran out. Minister Lu didn't explicitly forbid him from going. 。Zhang Weixian thought, Xiao Zheng was still bold and insisted. The leader agreed. 。。He had the restaurant help open it and pour drinks into everyone's cups. They all raised their glasses to toast Minister Lu. 。Then, Minister Lu said: "In that case, after the meeting with the main leaders of Ninggan Province tomorrow, I will have to rush back to Jiangzhong. The announcement of cadres in Beijing will be made the day after tomorrow. It would be unrealistic for me to come here again after the cadre conference." 。So, we still have three days left, it's going to be hard work for everyone. 。You have to get a clear understanding of the poverty situation in Ninggan and come up with a reasonable poverty alleviation plan. This is a major task. Huajing definitely hopes that we can advance this work as soon as possible. Time is very tight, so you need to arrange your time reasonably. 。"Good," said Zhang, the former group leader and Fang Ya. 。Then, Minister Lu stood up and said, "Everyone, get some rest." 。“Once the leaders left, Xiao Zheng didn't stay either. Fang Ya didn't particularly try to keep him.” 。

Xiao Zheng only then thought that Fang Ya had asked him to come to her room before, probably because of Minister Lu. 。Fangya should have known about Minister Lu's promotion at that time. 。But he still thought that Fang Ya would do something out of the ordinary when she found him. Sometimes, men's way of thinking is a bit too self-centered. 。Xiao Zheng gave a self-deprecating smile and returned to his room. 。Ma Kai was lying half on the bed, seeing Xiao Zheng, he asked: "You've been gone for so long Did something good happen"

Xiao Zheng thought about Lu Chang's matter, should he tell Ma Kai But then he remembered what Lu Chang said not to tell others, so Xiao Zheng didn't tell Ma Kai, just saying: "What could happen I gave the medicine to Fang Chang, and came back." 。Ma Kai asked again, "Are you good friends with Minister Fang" Xiao Zheng said, "Minister Fang came to An County for an inspection once, that's when we met. This time he asked me to help bring some traditional Chinese medicine. Would you say this is a good relationship" Ma Kai said, "Minister Fang..." 。Xiao Zheng said: "There are a lot of single women in this world." 。"Alas, you just lack the courage," Ma Kai said. 。Xiao Zheng said: "If you have the guts, go chase after her." 。Ma Kai smiled and said, "I'll pass. I think Director Wang Lan is better." 。“As he spoke, Ma Kai started sending text messages on his phone again, most likely chatting with Wang Lan.” 。Xiao Zheng quickly washed up and returned to bed, suddenly thinking of Xiao Jingyu, he sent her a message: "Minister Lu was promoted, did you know" After a while, Xiao Jingyu replied: "I have been informed." 。"Were you with Minister Lu today" 。Tomorrow morning, after Minister Lu finishes the meeting, he will return to Jiangzhong to attend a conference. 。"Xiao Jingyu said: 'When you come back too, I will arrange a celebration for Minister Lu.'" 。"Xiao Zheng replied: "Good" 。The next morning, the Jiangzhong Poverty Alleviation Pairing Assistance Inspection Team came to the Ninggan Provincial Government and attended a meeting. 。Two main leaders of Ninggan Province attended the meeting. 。Before parting, both main leaders shook hands with everyone. 。Ninggan Province's Secretary, at the beginning of the meeting, also said: "The Jiangzhong Province Pairing-up Poverty Alleviation Inspection Team coming to Ninggan this time can be said to be a double blessing." 。The first piece of good news is that our Ninggan and Jiangzhong are now officially "in-laws". The second piece of good news is that yesterday, on the very day Minister Lu arrived in Ninggan, Beijing announced that Minister Lu has been promoted to Deputy Secretary of the Jiangzhong Provincial Committee. 。Minister Lu, don't forget this later, you were promoted when you were on our Ninggan land. 。Then everyone applauded and congratulated Minister Lu. 。Lu Zhixing said that he would never forget this trip to Ninggan, and he also stated that after he became the Deputy Secretary of the Jiangzhong Provincial Committee, he would continue to serve as the head of the leading group for poverty alleviation cooperation between Jiangzhong and Ninggan. In the future, he will work harder and with all his might to promote this work. 。

Then, the two main leaders of Ninggan Province introduced the situation in Ninggan. 。Xiao Zheng thus learned that the gap between rich and poor in Ninggan was stark. Coupled with the fact that Ninggan itself was small, with few resources to mobilize—a province with only five or six million people—it was virtually impossible for the north to support the south. 。Jiang Xiaohui's hometown, Xiheitou region, is also designated by the United Nations as one of the world's least habitable areas. 。Xiao Zheng thought to himself, then he should focus on that place. 。But Xiao Zheng learned that the Helan Mountains in Fang Ya's photo were north and south of Xihe Head, not the same place at all. 。Since time was short, we went to Helan Mountain instead of Xihe Tou. 。When Xiao Zheng was brooding, Xiao Jingyu received a call in his office. 。The call went straight to Xiao Jingyu's office phone. Xiao Jingyu, who was busy reviewing documents, didn't even look at the caller ID before picking up the phone. 。

"Jìng Yǔ, long time no see" 。“A voice, rather masculine, came over the line,”He’s Sima Yue.” 。Xiao Jingyu was taken aback. How did Sima Yue manage to call her office She replied stiffly, “Oh, hello, Mr. Sima.” 。" Sima Yue smiled and said, "In the future, you can't call me Boss Sima anymore. " 。This time Huajing gave me a rare opportunity to exercise, and tomorrow I will attend the cadre meeting, and then I will work in Jiangzhong. 。u, would they have dared to touch Beixiang"Tan Siming listened and drained his cup of wine, nodding thoughtfully: "Manager Tan, you've made things clear." 。But, Xiao Zheng was just a town official bef...
