Chapter 369: Song Jia's Scheme
ouse, the village head said, "County Party Secretary Xiao has arrived, everyone is fine now."> 。The villagers looked at Xiao Zheng, most of them didn't know what to say, their expressions were dazed....Zhang Yihong was a little puzzled. Why would Chen Hong suddenly gain the favor of Mayor Tan Zhen He couldn't help but ask, "Was Chen Hong sent by the Organization Department to socialize today Did someone from the Provincial Committee Organization Department come, so Chen Hong led Secretary Tan around"
Zhang Yihong had imagined many scenarios because that was the only logical explanation. 。Xiao Zheng only replied with a few words: "I don't know." 。"Oh, I forgot, the two of you are having a fight." 。Okay, let's go. I'll treat you to some delicious food. 。"Xiao Zhong's car also drove onto the platform, picking up Zhang Yimeng and Xiao Zheng. He asked, "County Magistrate Xiao, where are we going" Zhang Yimeng replied, "The old city district. Today's restaurant is there." 。“The old city left the deepest impression on Xiao Zheng. He said, ‘Let’s go there.’” 。"After the car started, Zhang Yihong touched Xiao Zheng's seat and door handle, saying, “Junior brother, I really envy you. You have your own car for every trip. When will I have a car of my own”Xiao Zheng said: “If you serve your leaders well, you will have one when the time is right.” 。"Zhang Yimou said, 'Junior brother, you don't know, I've been studying very hard lately.'" 。"Xiao Zheng said: 'I know that. Mayor Xiao also praised you.'" 。You've been doing great at work lately, so I decided to give you today off to relax. 。"That's great! If the leader is satisfied, I feel much better." 。It seems like I'll have to have a couple more drinks today. 。"Xiao Zheng asked, “During our phone call this afternoon, didn’t you say there was something you needed my help brainstorming I thought you might be having trouble at work! But Mayor Xiao said that you've been doing very well recently. I was puzzled, wondering what could possibly need my help.” Zhang Yimeng smiled mysteriously and said, “Let’s talk about it over drinks later." 。Zhang Yihong brought Xiao Zheng to the riverside of a small river in the old city. 。This stream is the one he dove into, but not at this spot. 。This little restaurant is quite miniature, but the decor is very tasteful. It has wooden floors throughout and small private rooms separated by dividers. It's clean and tidy, a bit like a Japanese izakaya. The food served here is Jingzhou cuisine. 。Xiao Zheng believes this restaurant won't be too cheap. 。Zhang Yimeng booked a small private room, Xiao Zheng asked the driver Xiaochong to join them for dinner. 。Maybe because Xiao Zhong was also present, Zhang Yiming and Xiao Zheng kept chatting idly and didn't get to the point. 。Xiao Zhong is a clever driver, so he ate very quickly. After finishing his meal, he said, "County Magistrate Xiao, I'll just have some tea in the hall." 。"Xiao Zheng said, "Xia Zhong, you can go for a walk if you have nothing to do." 。It will be about an hour before you come back. 。"
Xiao Zhong said, “County Magistrate Xiao, I don’t really have anywhere I want to go.” 。< If I go shopping, I'll just spend money. I'd better save some.> 。After Xiao Zheng fell into the water last time, Xiao Zhong became less willing to let him drink alone outside. 。If something were to happen to Xiao Zheng, this driver's job would probably be on the line. So ensuring Xiao Zheng's safety is his top priority when he's out and about. 。Xiao Zheng could also understand Xiao Zhong's kindness, so he said: "Then you go outside and have some tea. Whatever you want to drink or eat, just order it, don't worry about sparing Zhang Chief a few bucks." 。"
Xiao Zhong said: “I’m full now. I see there is free barley tea outside, I'll just have a little.” 。"Xiao Zheng didn't force it, he nodded." 。After Xiao Zhong left, Zhang Yimou praised, "Your driver, Xiao Zhong, is very good. He's a once-in-a-hundred driver." 。"Yes, I am quite satisfied too," 。Alright, let's get down to business. Why did you come to see me today Not your own business, I hope" Zhang Yimeng raised his cup and clinked it with Xiao Zheng's, saying, "Let's have this drink first, then we can talk." 。Today, they were drinking white liquor, forty-two degrees, not too high or low. It had a slightly spicy and refreshing taste, but wasn't too overwhelming. 。Xiao Zheng then followed Zhang Yihong and downed the drink in one gulp. 。Then Zhang Yimeng said, “Actually, today is about you and Chen Hong.” 。Didn't I already back out of that "putting the shells" thing I introduced Chen Hong to another contact. 。Chen Hong said that you two are having a fight and asked me to persuade you. 。It's normal for couples to have little arguments, but it shouldn't go too far. After all, they should eventually make up. 。"It turns out it was this thing. " 。Chen Hong not only used her parents but also took advantage of Zhang Yimou to plead on her behalf. 。Xiao Zheng's gaze shifted to the right, falling upon the small river outside the window. 。He seemed to see the world he had glimpsed under the river that day, yes, that world died with him and Chen Hong after his plunge into the water. 。When he was pulled out of the river by Xiao Jingyu, Xiao Zheng was no longer the same Xiao Zheng. 。Xiao Zheng turned his head and looked at Zhang Yihong, saying, "Senior brother, you may not know... " 。I have broken up with Chen Hong. 。“Zhang Yihong was stunned, staring fixedly at Xiao Zheng: “Junior Brother, are you joking” Xiao Zheng said, “I’m not joking” 。
Are they really broken up
Zhang Yihong was confused: “Why Break up just because of a little disagreement You’ve been together for over ten years! Just say it and break up” Xiao Zheng said: "That's right, you have been together for over ten years." 。I can bear a lot of things, but there is one thing I cannot tolerate. 。。"Who is Chen Hong following"
"Following who Following Secretary Tan..." Zhang Yihong dragged out his voice, then as if suddenly understanding, "You mean, could it be that Chen Hong and Secretary Tan No way" Xiao Zheng said: "If it weren't like this, I wouldn't have broken up with her>>>" 。“Why is this so” Zhang Yihong said, puzzled. “I just don’t get it!”
Xiao Zheng said, “Otherwise, how would Chen Guangming, her father, have been promoted” Zhang Yihong slammed his cup onto the table and said, “Chen Hong is really naive! Just for her father's position It's not worth it!”
Xiao Zheng picked up the wine glass next to him, poured himself and Zhang Yihong each a glass, then raised his own glass and drank it down in one gulp. 。Zhang Yimeng also drank the cup of wine in one gulp and said, "If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have persuaded you. " 。Oh, I won't advise you anymore in the future. 。"Xiao Zheng smiled wryly and said, “That’s good." 。"Zhang Yimeng poured two more glasses of wine and said, "It's good..." 。I also thought that your personalities were a bit off with Chen Hong's. 。You, on the other hand, are a bit bold and unrestrained, with a sense of detachment. You don't seem to care much about power; however, Chen Hong is quite the opposite. She cares deeply about money and status. Being with her feels like you're being held back. 。Now it's good。Here, I raise a glass to you. 。The two of them drank another glass. 。
Zhang Yimeng asked again, "What are you going to do next" Xiao Zheng asked, "What do you mean by that" Zhang Yimeng said, "The old won't leave and the new won't come in" 。"Now that the old one is gone, what about your future girlfriends"
Xiao Zheng said, "What are you talking about!" Zhang Yiming said: "I just want to say, there is actually someone who is very suitable for you, and I want to introduce her to you." 。"Xiao Zheng said: "Let's go" 。"Zhang Yimou seems honest, but as a normal man, he gets very excited when talking about women." 。Zhang Yimeng said: "Do you want to know who it is" Xiao Zheng said: "No." 。"Zhang Yimeng had a few drinks and became talkative: "Little brother, why are you so boring You want to know who it is" Xiao Zheng was annoyed by him. Knowing he wouldn't stop until he said something, he replied, "Then you say it." 。Zhang Yihong said: "It's our Mayor Xiao!" Xiao Zheng was startled, did Zhang Yihong know about him and Xiao Jingyu But he still said: "Senior Brother, don't talk nonsense, wait until Mayor Xiao finds out, you better be prepared to be dealt with." 。"Zhang Yiming, however, chuckled and said: “I wasn’t just talking randomly..." 。Xiao, the mayor, is in his thirties, just a few years older than you. He's also a deputy department-level official, which means he has a high enough rank. 。Besides being more physically and personally attractive than Chen Hong, 。She is single now, and it's customary for women to get married in their twenties. This is a serious matter, and I'm not afraid of Mayor Xiao hearing this. 。"I think you've had too much to drink today, which is why you're being so bold." 。"Zhang Yimeng laughed and said, "I am bold, but for my junior brother, it's worth being bold once." 。Really, junior brother, if you can handle our mayor of Xiaoshi, you'll be successful for life. 。"Xiao Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed Zhang Yimeng didn't know about the unusual relationship between him and Xiao Jingyu. " 。Zhang Yixiong didn't even know that Xiao Jingyu had already given herself to Xiao Zheng. 。Of course, none of this could be told to Zhang Yimou. He could only bury it in his heart and say, “I don’t have the ability…” 。"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier, and a man who doesn't want to pursue outstanding women isn't a good man." 。Xiao Zheng poured two more cups of wine, pushing one towards Zhang Yihong: "Drink up, don't talk so much." 。"Just as the two of them finished their drinks, Xiao Zheng's phone rang. He saw it was Song Jia, the Director of the County Committee Propaganda Department." 。
The publicity department head, a woman with a rather large mouth but very pretty features, appeared in Xiao Zheng's mind. 。Xiao Zheng picked up his phone and greeted, "Director Song, hello! Why did you think of calling me now"
"Thinking of our County Magistrate Xiao, aren't we" 。"Song Jia said, “I haven't seen Xiao County Magistrate's figure for days! I wonder where he is enjoying himself” Xiao Zheng knew Song Jia was joking, but this kind of joke from a female leader always worked. It would always make the male leaders feel happy. " 。Xiao Zheng said: "I'm in Jingzhou today." 。"Wouldn't the Prefect of Song be in Jingzhou too"
"I'm not as carefree as the Prefect of Xiao, going to Jingzhou for dinner on a whim." 。"Song Jia said, 'Are you coming back today' Xiao Zheng asked strangely, 'I am coming back, it's just a bit late.'" 。"It doesn't matter how late it is, I'll wait for you in the office." 。"Xiao Zheng became even more puzzled: "Is there something urgent"
Song Jia smiled and said, "Please allow me to keep you in suspense. I'll tell you when you get there." 。we have a large group of cadres and talents here, and I also want to hear what Director Lu has to say. On the surface, Director Lu might not say anything! How about this, I'll invite Director Lu for a...
