leTan Zhen listened quietly for a long time, then was very surprised. 。He said, "Minister Tan, as expected of the Minister-General!" 。"Such a clever strategy, only Secretary-General Tan could have com...The concern in their words is palpable. 。Xiao Zheng smiled and looked at An Ruyi: "Don't you think I'm getting to the age where I need to start taking tonics"

Xiao Zheng was only thirty-two years old at this time, and he would be thirty-three next year. He was in his prime. 。An Ruyi waved her hand hurriedly, "That's not what I meant. It's not mainly because you're too busy and tired" Xiao Zheng said, "I understand your kindness, but I can't accept this Cordyceps, it's too precious" 。"An Ruyi said, "I didn't spend any money at all! Are you asking me to take it back to the car When have I ever been so lacking in face"

This statement, with a hint of willfulnes, caused Xiao Zheng to glance at her. That's right, An Ruyi was the daughter of a large hotel group, and there were countless men who wanted to get close to her. But so far, An Ruyi seemed to have no one she favored! If she casually gave any man this box of cordyceps, the other party would probably be overjoyed, right

"You gave my son a silver bracelet, didn't I accept it" Xiao Zheng said, "However, there are clear regulations for public officials accepting gifts in our country." 。But since you insist, I'll take it, but let's not make a habit of this. 。"That's more like it," said An Ruyi, her face blooming with a smile. 。"But I won't be sending you gifts anymore! You make receiving gifts harder than giving them!"

"Who said otherwise!" Xiao Zheng laughed, "I'm glad you understand." 。"Come, let's have tea instead of wine!" An Ruyi smiled and asked again, "I see that after you came to Baoyuan, you haven't had much alcohol. Aren't you giving up drinking" Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "No..." 。"I guess the day I can drink alcohol is not far away!" An Ruyi smiled and said, "By the time your hotel opens, my drinking days will be even closer!" Xiao Zheng and An Ruyi clinked their teacups: "Definitely!"

So that day, Xiao Zheng treated An Ruyi to a simple dinner, and ended up receiving a pair of silver bracelets and two boxes of Cordyceps from An Ruyi. 。At this moment, Xiao Zheng asked Ren Yongle to send them all out. 。He said: “Just have these two bracelets sent to Li Haiyan and ask her to give them to my wife.” 。These two boxes of cordyceps should be sent to my parents. 。Xiao Zheng originally wanted to send the Cordyceps sinensis to Secretary Lu and Cai Jingbo, but he thought better of it. He found it difficult enough to receive gifts himself, so why add trouble for Secretary Lu and them 。They probably wouldn't take it, right But if they did, this cordyceps is too valuable! So, Xiao Zheng decided to give up on the idea and wait until he had time to go see them in person. 。Ren Yongle said, "Xiao Secretary, I'll send it right away," and took his things out. 。That afternoon, Xiao Zheng went to a rather special municipal department, which was the Xīhǎitóu Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau. 。The director of this bureau is still the former secretary of the Bao Yuan County Party Committee, Lebe. 。 。“Actually, Comrade Liubin and I are not very familiar. When I arrived at Baoyuan, he had already left.” 。Initially, Lebedev also took the office keys, leaving Xiao Zheng to work in the party activity room. He even took the car for himself. 。Later on, Xiao Zheng became tough and broke into the office door to make it usable; he pressured the driver to get the car back! After that, Xiao Zheng met with Lebein many times at meetings. He mostly came down with Mayor Dai Xuesong, always making things difficult for Xiao Zheng and targeting him. Therefore, Lebein, the former secretary, was truly as impolite as possible towards Xiao Zheng. 。Who would have thought, as time flies, in less than a year, Xiao Zheng had become Lie Bing's superior, even serving as the Secretary of Organization for the West Sea Head Municipal Party Committee. Lie Bing truly became an official under Xiao Zheng's control. 。Xiao Zheng said again, "Besides, this time it is to comprehensively grasp the situation of county and municipal-level cadres. Other units have gone, so we can't just skip it because the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Lieutenant Colonel Li, is my former subordinate, right The Civil Affairs Bureau has other members besides Director Li, and we need to go to understand them comprehensively!" Hearing Xiao Zheng say this, Weng Wei hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Minister Xiao, I was shortsighted." 。I'll notify them right away. 。Then, Weng Wei asked the office to inform the Civil Affairs Bureau that Xiao Zheng, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, would come to the Civil Affairs Bureau for research tomorrow morning. 。After receiving the notification, Director Lebin was very upset and ran to Mayor Dai Xuem Song to complain: "Mayor Dai, what does Xiao Zheng want to do He is now the Minister of Organization of the Municipal Party Committee, is he here to show off his power" Mayor Dai looked at Lebin and felt that Lebin was not calm at the moment, so he said: "Director Lebin, don't get excited first..." 。"First, you need to figure out why Xiao Zheng came to your Civil Affairs Bureau"

"What else could he be doing He's just showing off, isn't he" Leibin's mood wasn't improving. "He's a city leader now, and I'm still just a director. He comes here, feeling...good or bad" Dai Xuesong shook his head, took a drag from his cigarette, exhaled into the void, and said: "You're still talking nonsense! What exactly is he researching" Leibin said: "Research on '***and leadership cadre combat effectiveness', what kind of thing is that Is it spooky or not" Dai Xuesong said: "The research on the *** construction situation is indeed within Xiao Zheng's scope of responsibility as the head of the Organization Department. It can't be called 'evil'." 。You still treat and report well. 。。"The mayor came to me. Doesn't this secretary of the municipal Party committee have to step down"

"Don't be naive!" Dai Xue Song said, "You can avoid it for a while, but you can't avoid it forever Today, I can come to you to discuss things, so what about tomorrow Will I still ask you to discuss things The day after tomorrow Will I still ask you to discuss things Because of your affairs, I have to offend Xiao Zheng inexplicably Moreover, he holds the power of cadre deployment. He has no power to promote you, but can he transfer you here and there Xiao Zheng is currently Chen Qingshan's favorite. If he proposes to move you, do you think Chen Qingshan will agree"

Liebin thought about it, and indeed so. 。For the first time, he felt so awkward and depressed, but there was nothing he could do. He asked, "So, I can only receive him" Dai Xuemeng said: 。Recently, everyone has had to bear with it. 。Don't even get me started on him and me! Even the governor of Shan province is feeling extremely frustrated right now! Think about it, the issue with the Baokuang mine. They had originally planned to exploit it using gypsum mining, but now that Xiao Zheng has stirred things up, introducing this "clangorous" mine protection, it's as if they've sealed a treasure chest! What do you think the governor of Shan province is feeling right now! Leibin said: “So, ultimately, it all boils down to Xiao Zheng and Chen Qingshan and their ilk! Who knows what tricks the governor of Shan province still has up his sleeve” Dai Xuem Song said: "I believe the governor of Shan province won't just let this slide, and neither will Secretary Sun. They must be working out a plan." 。"So, we must hold steady now!""Hold steady" Lebin asked, "Hold steady for how long"Dai Xuesong said, "Hold steady until we can raise our eyebrows and chest! So, during this time, you and your men must restrain yourselves!"Lebin sighed, "Isn't that just being a tail-between-the-legs sort of person"Dai Xuesong said, "If we get through this period, maybe good days are still ahead!"Lebin said, "I hope the good days Mayor Dai spoke of will come back soon!"Dai Xuesong said, "First, deal with what's in front of you." 。The next day was overcast. 。The Civil Affairs Bureau is located outside the municipal party committee and municipal government compound, a small world of its own. 。Xiao Zheng starts work at 8:30 a.m. sharp, taking the bus to the Civil Affairs Bureau. 。Besides Xiao Zheng, there were also deputy minister Wang Wei, *** concurrently cadre department director Kang Li, municipal Party committee organization department office director Wang Ji, and liaison officer Ren Yongle. A total of five people took the department's business car to... 。The car drove past the main street of Xihetou. The cold snap from two days ago had caused the leaves of the firs to fall all over the ground, but the pines were still a vibrant green. However, the people on the street, whether riding bicycles or walking, had already changed into thick cotton coats and down jackets. 。At this moment, Xiao Zheng unexpectedly thought of Jingzhou and Hangzhou, thousands of miles away. Was the weather there suddenly getting cold too Also, was Xiao Jingyu, who was currently on confinement, finding it rather boring Xiao Zheng suddenly felt a strong urge to call her, but he hesitated. Calling his wife while in this car always seemed inappropriate. After some contemplation, he managed to suppress this impulse. 。It took about twenty minutes for the car to drive into the courtyard of the Civil Affairs Bureau! What Xiao Zheng didn't expect was that in the lobby of this small building of the Civil Affairs Bureau, five members of the *** of the Civil Affairs Bureau, plus Office Director Li Xiaogang, a total of six people lined up and waited there. 。The car stopped, and Lebin unexpectedly stepped forward and opened the door on Xiao Zheng's side: "Welcome, welcome, Minister Xiao!" Xiao Zheng was truly surprised. Lebin opening his car door was already surprising enough, but to top it off, Lebin had a beaming smile plastered on his face, as if genuinely welcoming Xiao Zheng's arrival wholeheartedly. 。d also genuinely lighten Gao Lu's family burden—it would be a great thing! Xiao Zheng sent Su Menglan a message: "Thank you for going to see Old Man Guan this morning..." 。Su Menglan replied, "It's a...
