Chapter 78: Hidden Crisis

tating the political qualifications and age requirements in the candidate requirements, and started talking about the third condition, Cai Shaohua felt something was wrong. 。Because this condition is...But no matter what Song Guoming's purpose was, Xiao Zheng didn't want to be led by the nose by Song Guoming, so he said: "Secretary Song, you flatter me" 。When it comes to drafting documents, Director Cai is also quite skilled. 。And there's also Teacher Tao, the head of the Chinese department at County No. 1 Middle School. I won't even say, as long as he gets to know the situation better, he will definitely be stronger than me. 。"That's not true, Commissioner Xiao," Tao Fang quickly said modestly. "I've been working at the school all this time, and I haven't learned the basic routines of government yet. There's still a lot I need to learn." 。"

Song Guoming smiled and said, "Don't be too modest, everyone. " 。You three are definitely the backbone of the younger generation now. 。Cai ShaoHua and Tao Fang, should take Xiao WeiYe as an example, work together to do a good job in the town, so that you can grow fast. 。"Cai Shaohua and Tao Fang exchanged glances, both saying, "Yes, thank you, Song Shujis for your guidance." 。Xiao Zheng remained wary of Song Guoming's praise, his concern focused on another issue. He asked, "Secretary Song, do you think this implementation plan will make it to the meeting" Song Guoming replied, "Of course. I think tomorrow afternoon we'll hold a meeting of the leadership team to discuss this implementation plan along with several other agenda items and get it approved." 。Mr. Cai, please have your team prepare for this. 。"Cai Shaohua immediately agreed: "Good, Song Shujì, we'll arrange it right away." 。After that, Cai Shaohua and Tao Fang stood up and planned to return to their office. 。Song Guoming said, "Wait a moment" 。Today, you guys are all here, let's get together tonight. 。“This was quite shocking, Song Guoming actually invited me to have dinner together This abnormal situation, one after another indeed.” 。Since the previous Party and Government Office director, Tan Xiaojie, got into trouble, Song Guoming didn't even invite him to dinner, let alone look at him properly. 。What's going on today

However, Xiao Zheng didn't want to have dinner with Song Guoming. Just thinking about it made him uncomfortable, so he said: "Secretary Song, no need..." Before Xiao Zheng could finish his refusal, Cai Shaohua and Tao Fang had already agreed in unison: "Okay, thank you, Secretary Song." 。Song Guoming then turned to Xiao Zheng and said, "Xiao Committee Member, Tao Fang has just arrived in our town, and as the Party secretary, I should welcome her." 。More importantly, since you became a member of the Party committee, I haven't treated you to a meal yet. 。Today is a good time to get together. You should give Comrade Tao Fang some face, after all. In the future, Tao Fang will have many opportunities to serve you party committee members. 。If you don't attend today, be careful she might not serve you in the future. 。Song Guoming actually made a rare joke. 。Tao Fang also said from the side: "Xiao Commissioner, Song Shuji invited us so warmly today, let's have a meal together." 。I guarantee here that, no matter what tasks Xiao Weiye assigns me in the future, I will complete them on time and to a high standard. 。Cai Shaohua glanced at Tao Fang, feeling a bit downhearted, but there was nothing he could say. 。Xiao Zheng thought, Song Guoming is the Party Secretary, today's first invitation to dinner in front of Cai Shaohua and Tao Fang, if he refused, would make Song Guoming very embarrassed. Besides, in the future, the Anjian Station's staffing must also have Song Guoming's nod. 。Therefore, this face must be given to Song Guoming. 。Besides, Tao Fang, this new recruit, has also done quite a bit to help me. In the future, there will be some things that I'll really need her help with. 。After weighing it over, Xiao Zheng said: "Then thank you, Song Shujishi." 。"Song Guoming smiled and said, "Alright, then let's have dinner together." 。Cai, please send the time and address to everyone via **S later. 。Cai Shaohua agreed: "Good, Song Shuji." 。Xiao Zheng returned to his office, recalling everything that had happened in Song Guoming's office. He thought to himself, Song Guoming's true purpose for calling him today must have been this dinner. 。The relationship between Xiao Zheng and Song Guoming was notoriously bad. It was practically an open secret.

Why did Song Guoming suddenly show him kindness today

As Xiao Zheng was thinking about this, a text message came in, from the town head Guan Wenwei: "How is it going" There was no doubt that Town Head Guan was asking about what had happened between Xiao Zheng and Song Guoming in his office. 。Xiao Zheng didn't hide anything and simply replied: "Call me for dinner." 。After a while, Guan Zhenchang replied: "Then go ahead. You should control the alcohol." 。"Xiao Zheng said: "Thank you, big brother, for reminding me." 。Xiao Zheng was thinking to himself, "I won't drink tonight." 。

Shortly after, another text message came in. This time it wasn't from Guan Wenwei but Cai Shaohua. The message contained the dinner address: Zui Long Restaurant in An County. 。Xiao Zheng had heard that this restaurant was considered a very famous and expensive eatery in the county. 。Is Song Guoming really going to bleed today

But thinking about it, Song Guoming couldn't possibly pay for it himself. He would either use public funds from the town or have someone else pick up the tab. 。To today's dinner, Xiao Zheng unexpectedly felt a strange curiosity. 。Time flew by, and it was soon time to clock out. As evening approached, fiery clouds of sunset appeared on the western hills overlooking Tianhuang Town's government buildings. 。Tao Fang called and said, "Mayor Xiao, Secretary Song said that you can go with his car." 。“You're really thoughtful today, aren't you” Xiao Zheng replied, “I still need to go to the hospital and see my parents, so I’ll ride my motorcycle there. Let's meet at the restaurant.” 。Xiao Zheng was worried that if they ate dinner too late, it would be too late after work, so he went straight to the hospital to see Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei after work. 。He found that Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei's expressions were a little strange after seeing his son. 。Xiao Zheng noticed that there were some bananas and American grapes on the bedside table next to his father's bed. He asked, "Mom and Dad, did any relatives come to visit you today" Xiao Zheng knew that his parents didn't have the habit of eating fruit, they wouldn't buy expensive fruits like American grapes even if their lives depended on it, so someone must have brought them. 。。"Has Sun Wenmin been here He even brought so many fruits It seems that Chen Hong's parents not only improved their attitude towards her, but also became more caring towards their own parents." 。This is a good thing. 。Xiao Zheng then said: "Mom and Dad, I actually have some good news to tell you" 。I've made arrangements with Chen Hong. We'll buy a large house in the county over the next few days and have you all move in. That way, you won't have to go back to the village and can settle down in the county. 。Dad's illness will recover faster. 。Fei Qingmei and Xiao Rongrong exchanged glances again. Fei Qingmei said, "My husband and I have been discussing it, we always feel like we wouldn't be comfortable living in the county town." 。Xiao Zheng said: "Mom, don't overthink this." 。From a bad environment to a good one, how could you possibly not get used to it Just relax and live here, you might even start to love it more and more. 。Seeing her son's enthusiasm, Fei Qingmei and Xiao Rongrong didn't say much. Fei Qingmei simply said, "Xiao Zheng, you and Chen Hong should buy the house first and then we'll talk about it." 。Xiao Zheng said: "We'll settle the house thing in the next two days." 。By the way, there's a dinner gathering in our town today. I'll order some food for you guys for dinner. 。Fee Qingmei, being very thrifty, said: "No need." 。We still have some leftovers at noon, just help yourself to eat. 。"Xiao Zheng would never agree to eat delicacies himself while letting his parents have leftover food for lunch. He went to a small restaurant by the hospital entrance, ordered two dishes, and asked them to deliver it to the hospital. Then he rode his motorcycle to Zui Long Restaurant." 。Just stopped at the door, Tao Fang's phone call came: "Xiao Commissioner, I don't know where you are Song Secretary and they have all arrived" 。“I’ve already parked downstairs,” Xiao Zheng said. 。Tao Fang said: "Then I'll come pick you up." 。"No need" 。Xiao Zheng was a little uncomfortable with Tao Fang's enthusiasm. 。However, Tao Fang had already hung up the phone, it seemed she was already downstairs. 。This Zui Long Restaurant is decorated in a classic style, with dragons on the left and phoenixes on the right of the window frames. Even from the entrance, golden light spills out, giving it an air of luxury and grandeur. 。As soon as Xiao Zheng stepped inside, he saw Tao Fang in a professional skirt coming down the stairs. Her outfit was similar to what she wore at the government building, but it was obvious that she had touched up her makeup and now looked full of energy and charm. 。"Commissioner Xiao, in the private room 888 on the top floor, I'll take you there. The other leaders are already there." 。Tao Fang said, she still had a faint floral scent about her, kind of like roses and hyacinths, anyway it was quite refreshing. 。Tao Fang not only put on makeup, but also sprayed perfume. 。This woman is too focused on being attractive. What does that say about her On one hand, she really cares about what others think of her. On the other hand, she probably has some kind of need to attract people. 。Realizing this, Xiao Zheng subconsciously slowed his pace, deliberately keeping a slight distance from Tao Fang. 。Tao Fang saw him slow down, so she slowed down too, keeping pace with him. 。Xiao Zheng had no choice but to walk forward with her. 。Arriving at the door of box 888, Tao Fang knocked and pushed the door open. Xiao Zheng looked up and saw many people already seated around a round table. 。First was Song Guoming, the Party Secretary of the town committee. Then came Sun Yucai, the deputy Party secretary, followed by Qin Pe, the head of the police station. There was also one person Xiao Zheng didn't want to see: Wang Guilong, the cement factory manager. Lastly, there was a woman in her forties with heavy makeup. Xiao Zheng didn't recognize her. 。Next are Party and Government Office Director Cai Shaohua and Tao Fang. 。Next to Song Guoming, there was an empty seat. This was considered the place for guests of honor, more prominent than that of Sun Yuchuai, the deputy secretary of the town Party committee. 。Xiao Zheng, of course, wouldn't go to sit there. He planned to sit down in the next row. 。Without thinking, Song Guoming proactively greeted: "Commissioner Xiao is here, come sit here." 。"Xiao Zheng politely declined: “Song Shuji, I cannot take this position. Sun Shuji is also here, so Sun Shuji should take it.” 。"Sitting in the middle, the cement factory director Wang Guilong stood up, reaching out with an inviting gesture, and said: "Town Mayor Xiao, please don't be so polite." 。This is the meaning of Song Shu Ji, just sit down. 。Even if Song Guoming meant it that way, Xiao Zheng didn't want to offend Deputy Secretary Sun Yuchuai for no reason and stubbornly refused to sit down: "That doesn't make sense." 。This seat should be for Sun Shuji to sit on. 。At this point, Sun Yucai also stood up from his seat and pulled Xiao Zheng's arm, guiding him to sit down in the main guest seat. 。Sun Yucai said: "Xiao Weiye, I asked you to sit in this position for two reasons. First, this time Song Shujie invited you to dinner, and I came to accompany you to drink, so I can't sit as the host or guest, I can only sit as a companion." 。Well, the second one is that you're late today, so you have to follow our arrangements. 。"Sun Yucai was truly an "old hand," his reasons were so compelling that Xiao Zheng couldn't refuse." 。Xiao Zheng had no choice but to sit down in the main seat. 。Song Guoming smiled happily and said, “Today, I’m very happy that everyone is here. Let’s get started!” 。The director of the Party and Government Office, Cai Shaohua, gave a look to a waiter, and the waiter went to prepare. 。There are two bottles of wine open, already at a certain height. These two bottles differ somewhat; one contains an herbal juice made from a medicinal herb native to Anxian County. It was specifically procured by Wang Guilong from a skilled herbalist. 。Was Gao Cheng Han dissatisfied with his current performance So, had he directly passed the request for investigation to County Party Secretary Xiao Jingyu Wu Fan thought, no matter what, Xiao Jingyu's...
