Chapter 13: Talks with Officials

ncast. 。But after hanging up the phone, Guan Wenwei didn't care about the other officials standing nearby. He began to reprimand Jin Hui: "What have you done! Have you ever been serious about safety p...Xiao Zheng didn't know the cadre who called him. The other party spoke vaguely, and he didn't want to ask any further. 。Even if you ask again, the other party probably won't say more. 。Xiao Zheng's heart was pounding; he didn't know if he had been promoted or eliminated this time. 。Xiao Zheng wanted to ask someone, but who should he ask Xiao Zheng recalled that he had been working in his hometown for over 7 years, but he didn't know anyone at the county Party Committee Organization Department. He deserved to be unable to get promoted these years!

“Then I’ll go back and bring Golden Mayor with me” 。The driver put Xiao Zheng at the door of the town government office and said to him through the window. 。Xiao Zheng said: "Yes, yes, you go to pick up Mayor Jin." 。After just a few bites of lunch in Fengqi Village, Xiao Zheng felt his stomach wasn't full yet and headed towards the canteen. 。Most of the town officials had already finished their lunch, but some were just finishing up and walking over from the town government cafeteria. 。After seeing Xiao Zheng, two young girls from the family planning office even greeted him. 。"Didn't you eat yet" "Eating too late can hurt your stomach." 。“The two young women from the family planning office are actually quite pretty. They walk arm in arm, with a charmingly shy demeanor.” 。But Xiao Zheng knew very well that they were no different from the other people in town. 。Before they met Xiao Zheng, most of the time they would ignore him or turn away when passing by. 。I greeted myself proactively today, all because I was recommended for an assessment. 。And if you haven't been promoted, those who laugh behind your back should also have a share. 。Xiao Zheng continued walking towards the dining hall, and at the door he unexpectedly bumped into Song Guoming, the secretary of the town Party Committee. 。Song Guoming was walking out while picking at his teeth with a toothpick. When he saw Xiao Zheng, he was slightly taken aback, took the toothpick out of his mouth, but didn't speak to Xiao Zheng, and continued walking forward. 。Xiao Zheng felt that Song Guoming was still the most genuine. 。I've always had an issue with him, and my attitude towards him hasn't changed. 。Xiao Zheng's heart was filled with another thought: Could Song Guoming have already learned in private that he, Xiao Zheng, hadn't been promoted but had been eliminated Xiao Zheng also remembered what Chen Hong said to him this morning, that only 60% of the people chosen for this assessment would be used, and the remaining 40% would be eliminated. 。Then he himself is probably the one who was eliminated, huh

There weren't many dishes left in the cafeteria. Xiao Zheng ordered a plate of bamboo shoot and pork, tea eggs, and stewed leafy vegetables, and started eating. 。At this time, a figure rushed in from outside and shouted, "Are there any more dishes Are there any more dishes It's late again today!" 。"

The voice was too familiar. Xiao Zheng didn't need to look up, knowing it was Cai Shao Hua, the director of the Party and Government Office." 。In town, Cai Shaohua was notorious for eating dinner later than anyone else. He always seemed busy and flustered in front of others, trying to impress his superiors with an image of diligence. 。Most ordinary officials know what Cai Shaohua is up to, but the leadership seems to fall for it. 。Xiao Zheng didn't even look at him, just ate by himself. 。I'll still have to go to the county, and time is running out. 。However, to everyone's surprise, Cai Shao Hua, who had just finished cooking, sat down beside Xiao Zheng's table and greeted him proactively: "Director Xiao, are you eating alone"Xiao Zheng then looked up, smiled and said, "You came, aren't we two people now" Cai Shao Hua nodded vigorously and said: ">>>" 。"By the way, Director Xiao, weren't you being assessed How about it, did the County Party Organization Department call you in for a talk today"

It turned out that Cai Shaohua had been sitting beside him just to find out about this. Xiao Zheng said, "I was just notified, and they asked me to go for a talk this afternoon." 。"Cai Shao Hua nodded thoughtfully and said, “Oh, I see.” 。I have several friends from other towns and departments. They were all promoted this time and we had a talk this morning. 。They said that the afternoon was for those who hadn't been promoted, those who had been eliminated. Just some comfort, some encouragement. 。"Cai Shaohua is still not at peace. He's sitting next to me, just trying to provoke me." 。

Even if you weren't promoted, so what Cai Shaohua, weren't you not even investigated Xiao Zheng nonchalantly said: "Oh, I see." 。I've finished eating, you eat slowly. 。Cai Shaohua looked at Xiao Zheng's back as he walked out of the canteen, a smile appeared on his face. 。What he just said wasn't meant to deceive anyone. He did indeed inquire with people from both towns, and they all said that those being promoted were scheduled for a morning meeting. 。Cai Shaohua thought to himself, "We made such a big fuss beforehand, but we still got eliminated. Just wait and see how you'll face the townspeople when you get back!" After lunch, Xiao Zheng didn't return to the second floor. When he saw that it was almost time, he hopped on his motorcycle and rode toward the county town. 。It'll take another half hour to get there. 。From Chen Hong's feedback, Song Guoming's attitude, and Cai Shao Hua's words, Xiao Zheng knew that he had been basically eliminated this time. 。But since I've already agreed to the Organization Department to participate in the talk, I still have to go. 。In Xiao Zheng's heart, he placed great importance on credit. A person should always keep their word. Without credibility, one loses their moral compass. 。Upon arriving at the county government building, there were mountains behind and water in front. The government building wasn't very large or new, but it was still a symbol of authority that towns couldn't compare to. 。However, Xiao Zheng wasn't envious and didn't think about when he could work here. 。Because it's pointless for me to think about it now. 。。But that's just part of the job, once it's done, I'm gone. 。Xiao Zheng arrived at the department and, according to the notice, went to the cadre section. 。A young staff member from the Cadre Department led Xiao Zheng into a conference room. There were already four or five people inside, all about the same age as Xiao Zheng or even younger, both men and women. They were all dressed in business attire. 。In comparison, Xiao Zheng was wearing a T-shirt and casual pants, appearing somewhat casual. 。After Xiao Zheng went in, these people glanced at him and then ignored him. 。

Two men seemed more active. One of them complained, "We who accompany the list just need to be notified, why do we have to come here again" 。Another person said, "Although we are here as escorts, at least we have entered the organization's field of vision. Maybe next time there will be a chance! I think you are thinking the same way, otherwise why would you dress up to attend this talk" The previous person smiled and said, "That's right, if we don't get a chance this time, then just wait for the next one." 。"All of us sitting here, don't give up hope!"

Among the others, some nodded seriously, while others looked down in embarrassment. It was obvious that everyone was thinking very differently. 。At this point, Xiao Zheng finally understood completely. He was one of the eliminated ones. Returning to town, he could only wait to be ridiculed. He, a laughing stock, would undoubtedly become the hottest topic at every dinner gathering in town for the foreseeable future. 。Xiao Zheng couldn't help but sigh. 。The first man to speak, hearing Xiao Zheng's sigh, moved his chair closer and said, "Brother, what unit are you from"

Xiao Zheng glanced at him. Seeing that he didn't seem malicious, he replied, "Tianhuang Town's >>>" 。"That man nodded and said, "Oh, Tianhuang Town It's a bit remote, but the environment is quite good." 。"Xiao Zheng wanted to say, where else in Tianhuang Town could the environment be better with all these mines open everywhere But thinking about it, he couldn't slander his own town, so he just smiled and nodded." 。That person said, "My name is Zhang Yue, from the county .com propaganda department." 。We're all in the same boat, might as well exchange numbers. Stay connected! 。“Xiao Zheng didn't refuse, and after adding him, Zhang Yue said again: “Don’t be discouraged, we are graduates of 985 universities after all, and we have had our moments of glory in life.” 。The person next to him said, "I'm afraid that 985 was our peak moment. Things will only go downhill from here." 。"Zhang Yue rebuked, "Don't talk nonsense. We are all young, and we definitely still have hope." 。"We people, should keep in touch in the future and strive to do better than those who were promoted today! As long as we don't give up, there will be opportunities!"Xiao Zheng felt that Zhang Yue was quite a talker, and he was also very inspiring. 。At this time, the staff from the organization department walked in and said, "Which one of you is Xiao Zheng Come with me." 。"To my surprise, I was the first one called. Xiao Zheng said: "I am" 。Then he followed the staff member out, and he could still hear someone behind him say: “Good thing I wasn’t the first one”. 。Some say: “Does it matter if you’re the first to hear the bad news or the last I'd rather be like Xiao Zheng, go now. It's better to endure a short pain than a long one.” 。Some people also laughed. 。Xiao Zheng followed the staff member to a small office and then closed the door. 。

This office has two small desks, which are well-organized. There are also some potted plants like cacti and spider plants on the windowsill to purify the air in the office. 。Behind a desk sat a female leader in her thirties, with a beautiful face. She had short, black hair and wore a white shirt with an open collar. Her neck skin was fair, with a noticeable cleavage. There seemed to be a few freckles on the left side of her cheek, but they didn't detract from her beauty, instead adding a touch of flavor. There was also a seriousness in her expression. 。The man who brought Xiao Zheng in introduced, "This is Minister Li, our department head." 。"Xiao Zheng didn't dare to look at her for long, he just said politely: "Hello, Minister Li." 。"Minister Li smiled slightly at Xiao Zheng and said, "Comrade Xiao Zheng, hello. My name is Li Xiaohang, Deputy Minister." 。"Today I called you here, you should know what it's about, right"

Xiao Zheng nodded slightly, saying: "I know" 。"Li Xiaoqing smiled again: "Do you know why" Xiao Zheng was taken aback. He thought, why did Minister Li have to make him say it Couldn't she just tell him directly But sometimes that's how women talk, isn't it So Xiao Zheng readily said: "It's to tell me I've been eliminated." 。"Leader, shouldn't we offer some comfort to us young cadres who are accompanying you"Xiao Zheng said this, Li Xiaqing and the staff looked at each other in surprise: "Who said you were eliminated" Xiao Zheng was also taken aback, "Isn't that the case"Li Xiaqing smiled again: "Today I called you here to inform you that after research by the County Party Committee Standing Committee, it has been decided that you will serve as a member of the Tianhuang Town Party Committee" 。My organization has asked me to have a conversation with you. 。"That's how it is..."

Next, Xiao Zheng listened to Li Xiaohui talking to him and also made some notes. However, he felt like he was in the clouds, unable to believe all of this. 。Here are a few options for translating the content within the provided HTML tags, depending on what you're looking for:**Option 1: Literal Translation (Assumes ">>>" contains text):**If > contained text, we would literally translate it.
