Chapter 4 Huang Zidi fell in love with Guo Lan

Liu Jun, the former propaganda chief of the Yiyang County Party Committee, has completely retreated to the second line. He is playing chess with the retired old men in the yard. Seeing his son Liu Kun coming home, he quickly throws half of the chess game to another retired old man who is watching the game. Son. "You met Hou Weidong in the development zone. He is the director of the Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau. What is he doing alone in the development zone?" After Liu Jun retired, not only did he not gain weight, but he still kept his dark face because he often went fishing.

Liu Kun said mockingly: "Hou Weidong was kicked to the Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau. This is returning to the development zone to remember the glory of the year." Liu Kun's mother has always hated Hou Weidong. Every time she heard good news about Hou Weidong, she was as uncomfortable as a cat scratching her. When she heard bad news about Hou Weidong, she was as happy as New Year's Eve. Today is the Chinese New Year, and the common people are really, really happy." Seeing Liu Kun's mother gloating, Liu Jun closed his mouth in time and sat on the sofa watching TV. After finally waiting for Liu Kun's mother to leave, he said: "Don't listen to your mother, women have long hair and short knowledge, Hou Weidong is still A member of the municipal party committee is the youngest cadre at the department level in Lingxi. His backers Zhu Yan and Zhou Chang are all still on stage. Don't underestimate such a person. Don't follow your mother, I think we should take advantage of his temporary If it doesn’t go well, take the initiative to improve the relationship with him, maybe it will be useful in the future.”

Liu Kun looked bitter and bitter, and said: "I can do it without hitting the dog in the water, but if I take the initiative to show kindness, I can't hold back this face." "Many people in the officialdom are trying to climb their heads. You and Hou Weidong are classmates, and there are no irreconcilable conflicts. I think the relationship can be handled well." "At this time and then at that time, all the people I contacted in the Municipal Party Committee Office were the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee. There was no need to show my favor to the director of the small Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau."

Seeing his son's stubbornness, Liu Jun said worriedly, "Don't hang out with Huang Er. Huang Er is hanging out with Yi Zhongling. What kind of thing is Yi Zhongling? Yiyang's leaders know that something will happen sooner or later. You'd better stay away from them." "Dad, the times have changed and you are behind. Don't worry about these things." When Liu Kun turned to make tea, he whispered to himself: "The era when Hou Weidong ruled the sky in Shazhou with one hand is over." His son couldn't listen to his own words, so Liu Jun could only sigh. The wind and rain are always blowing away the wind. Their generation is already in the past tense. With the passage of time, they have withdrawn from the stage of history and lost their right to speak.

After Liu Kun left Wangcheng Villa, Qin Feiyue found a room, and when he was about to go to bed, he received a call from Su Ming, deputy director of Yiyang Construction Committee. "Why didn't you call earlier, Hou Weidong was still drinking at Wangcheng Villa just now." Su Ming hurriedly said: "Hou Weidong just left, so he must have not left Yiyang. I called him, and he had to have dinner anyway before leaving. We, a group of old friends from Qinglin Town, haven't sat together for a long time. have a drink." Hou Weidong was about to get on the highway intersection at this time, when he received a call from Qin Feiyue, he said happily, "Mayor Su has an invitation, of course I can't go, where is it, I'll come right away."

Qin Feiyue said: "Huang Er has gone to Lingxi, and Liu Kun has returned home. Now there are no outsiders in Wangcheng Villa, so why don't you just ask me to move, and we will meet again in Wangcheng Villa. This place is my territory, and it is usually very quiet." Hou Weidong turned the car around and returned to Wangcheng Villa. The two set up a tea set at the highest point of Wangcheng Mountain Villa, sat under the grape arbor, sipped Qinglin tea, and chatted about the past few years. Qin Feiyue said: "Huang Er's affairs are not up to the mark, and he is always worried when contacting him. Today he came to see the land, but fortunately he didn't like it, otherwise it would be a troublesome thing." Huang Er came to Yiyang to see Liu Kun. Behind Huang Er stood Huang Zidi, which Qin Feiyue valued the most. If he could climb Huangzidi, he might be able to go up another level.

Hou Weidong said: "It is said that those who are close to Mo are black, and those who are close to Zhu are red. Huang Er's partner is Yi Zhongling. You know the situation of this person very well." Qin Feiyue said: "It doesn't matter what I say. Huang Er came to buy real estate, and he has made a fortune in Yiyang. Ma Youcai once called to ask about this matter. Fortunately, he didn't fancy the land in the development zone." "Does Secretary Ma Youcai have a handbook? This is the most reliable thing." "Just a phone call, no paper." Hou Weidong kindly reminded: "There are more than 10,000 kinds of class struggles, and the society is very complicated. Be careful when sailing for thousands of years, and you must not let yourself be trapped by others." Jinshi has no substantive contact with Huang Er. After reaching a certain level, there are too many temptations in society, and he must give up, otherwise he will be overwhelmed by all kinds of desires.Everyone has a different path, and the key to the path is their own choice. Everyone must be responsible for the path they take.

After chatting for a while, Su Ming came to Wangcheng Villa. Su Ming struggled in Qinglin Town for nearly twenty years, and finally came to the county from Qinglin Town, and became the mayor of Chengguan Town.This time, he served as the deputy director of the construction committee, and put a bracket after the position - to maintain the official level. Along with Su Ming is Ouyang Lin, Director of the Party and Government Office of Qinglin Township. Ouyang Lin is a college student two years earlier than Hou Weidong. He was just appointed as a member of the Party Committee and Minister of Armed Forces last year. He received a call from Su Ming and quickly followed him. .

Ouyang Lin is obviously blessed, the appearance of a college student has been replaced by a township cadre, his stomach has stood up, his face has turned dark, and his double chin is also obvious.He held Hou Weidong's hand and said enthusiastically: "Director Hou, since you left Shangqinglin, you have never had a chance to report to you. Tonight I want to make a toast." Su Ming smiled from the side: "Minister Ouyang, in terms of drinking capacity, none of us dare to compete with Chief Hou, so we can only show our affection." After they sat down at the highest point, they chatted all over the place. They were all cadres from Qinglin Town, and they mainly talked about the people and things that happened in Qinglin Town and Yiyang County.

Ouyang Lindao: "Tian Xiuying has rheumatoid, and now her legs are deformed, and she can't bend it, and it is very difficult to walk. Now she often comes to the town to complain about medical expenses, and she once went to the county to appeal, saying that rheumatoid is a disease in the town. You said that this person is usually annoying, but he is still annoying when he is sick." He is the Minister of Armed Forces, in charge of comprehensive management, and in charge of people's mediation work, and he is entangled by Tian Xiuying. Ouyang Lin's words immediately brought Hou Weidong back to the days of Shangqinglin, when he lived with Xi Zhaoyong, Gao Changjiang, Yang Xinchun and others in a small four-story building, and the food group Chi Ming and Tian Xiuying lived in the back In the bungalow.Back then, Tian Xiuying thought the bungalow was damp, so she approached the town leaders many times in order to live in the small building.

Thinking of Tian Xiuying's chubby appearance, Hou Weidong thought to himself: "Zhao Yongsheng's practice of not dividing buildings into Tian Xiuying back then was a little too much. Tian Xiuying got rheumatoid arthritis, and the rest of his life could only be spent in pain." Su Ming said: "Of the five quarry owners in Shangqinglin, Zeng Xiangang was the best developed one. Although he lost one eye, he has successfully transformed from a farmer's boy into an entrepreneur in the provincial capital." Hou Weidong couldn't help but feel a little sad when he said this. Tian Dadao, a former member of the five members of the Shangqinglin Gravel Association, has never been seen since the big accident. Qin Dajiang died tragically at the gunpoint of the Heiwa gang. Xi Zhaoyong, a policeman from the police station, has been digging stone quarries on the mountain, but he got addicted to drugs in the new millennium, and is now sentenced to three years of forced labor.The quarry business started in the mid-1990s, but in just over six years, the first generation of owners had different fates, which made Hou Weidong feel the vicissitudes of life, although this feeling is not very appropriate. Su Ming chatted happily, and said: "Ouyang is a good young man, he has been living in Qinglin Town for a long time, Bureau Hou, let him go to work at your place?" Ouyang Lin was calm on the surface, but his heart was full of hope. For Ouyang Lin, transferring to Shazhou is a difficult task, but for Hou Weidong, getting someone to go to Shazhou is easy. He said with a smile: "Which department does Ouyang want to go to? It doesn't have to be the Water and Electricity Bureau." .” Ouyang Lin said with a smile: "If I could choose a department, I would think of affordable departments such as the Municipal Construction Committee and the Finance Bureau, but these departments are not for me." Hou Weidong said: "It depends on people's effort. I will first ask these units about their employment needs." He could have given an affirmative answer, but this kind of thing is too easy to do, and there will be some negative effects on the contrary. Ouyang Lin gave a flexible statement. All four of them had worked in Qinglin Town, and when they talked about the past, they were all very sad. Yan Chunping is also from Qinglin Town, and he knows several leaders, but on this occasion, he can only observe. After dinner, Qin Feiyue was half-drunk. He dragged Hou Weidong and others to refuse to let him go. He opened a karaoke hall in Wangcheng Villa, and then a few younger sisters came to sing along.Hou Weidong doesn't like this kind of play very much now, but he didn't leave because of his old friend's face. He sang several songs, and the little sister who sang along with him wanted to lean over his body several times. He politely pulled his body away and did not make contact with the little sister.Looking at it coldly, Qin Feiyue was holding a scantily clad woman, swinging in the dark light. After more than an hour, Hou Weidong left. After the highway was repaired, it took only half an hour to drive from Shazhou to Yiyang. Hou Weidong could have returned to Shazhou, but when he came to Yiyang, he suddenly felt nostalgic and decided to stay at Shazhou College for one night.When I arrived at the school gate, I saw that the original name of the school had been changed to "Shazhou University", and the school gate had been rebuilt to make it more grand.There was no change in the campus, and the night covered the entire school. Looking at the couples walking outside in twos and threes, Hou Weidong felt that time seemed to stand still. Hou Weidong called Xiaojia: "I'm at home in Shazhou University, are you free? Come and stay for one night." Xiao Jia said: "Don't you say it earlier, just now Sister Zhao made an appointment to play mahjong, and I have already agreed. Next time we will draw a Saturday, we will bring our children to the college for the weekend." Walking in the campus at night, the singing of Wangcheng Villa faded away, and Hou Weidong became peaceful.Walking all the way to the West District, in the small square paved with green grass, I saw Guo Lan pushing a wheelchair for a walk.Professor Guo was sitting in a wheelchair, but he was in good spirits. Hearing Hou Weidong's greetings, he said openly: "In my body, if I live an extra day, I earn a day. From the day I came out of the hospital, I have been earning every day." Hou Weidong persuaded: "Professor Guo should still live in Shazhou. The medical conditions in Shazhou are much better than Yiyang." "Dad, everyone agrees. The minority must obey the majority." Guo Lan had nothing to do with her stubborn father. "I have lived in the college for 30 years, and I am used to the environment here. There are mountains and rivers, the air is fresh, and it is convenient to read books in the library. Living here, I feel happy, and maybe I can live for a few more years." The wind from the lake brought some coolness. Guo Lan worried that her father was weak, so she quickly pulled his father's collar and said, "It's windy by the lake, we'd better go back." "It's okay, blowing the lake breeze in summer is good for my body." "Let's go, the doctor said to blow less hair." Hou Weidong accompanied the father and daughter and walked back to the professor building along the lakeside path.When going upstairs, since the old building has no elevators and no barrier-free facilities for the disabled, Guo Lan supported Professor Guo, and Hou Weidong helped lift the trolley.The trolley is not heavy, but it has a certain volume, and it is very laborious to carry it upstairs, which made Hou Weidong's trousers a lot of dust. Mrs. Guo stood at the door and said, "Xiaohou, how can I let you pick up the car, come in and sit quickly." Hou Weidong put the trolley in the living room, Mrs. Guo saw that his trousers were dirty, and said: "Your trousers are dirty, do you still have new trousers at home? Change them, and I will wash them for you." Hou Weidong hurriedly said: "Mrs. Guo, you are welcome. I haven't come back for a long time. I have to clean up later, and my clothes and pants will still be dirty. Don't bother Mrs. Guo." Seeing the back of Hou Weidong walking out of the door, Mrs. Guo said: "Xiao Hou is a good person, always so polite, and he doesn't have the bad habits of young people nowadays." Guo Lan thought of the days in Chengjin, lost her mind for a while, and then said: "Mom, don't talk about Xiaohou, he has already been the secretary of the county party committee, and he is a member of the Shazhou Municipal Committee." Mrs. Guo said: "I'm a retired old woman. It doesn't matter how much he is an official. In my eyes, he is Xiaohou." Guo Lan lost her temper and said, "Okay, you are right." She took a cup of tea and came to the study. Professor Guo sat at the table and concentrated on reading. She originally wanted to persuade her father, but then she thought that reading is his only hobby. Now it is difficult to walk. If even this hobby will be deprived , life is too boring. "Dad, don't look at it for too long, pay attention to rest early." Guo Lan reminded, and gently closed the study door. Hou Weidong opened the windows and the door, and the cool air by the lake quickly blew into the house, sweeping away the stale air. Next to the stereo, there were many discs, which were bought from Lingxi and Shazhou one after another. Hou Weidong chose a disc of Soviet songs. "The singing is gently rippling on the water at dusk, and the factory in the twilight is shining in the distance..." The singing of "Mountain Planting Trees" soon rang in the house. It vividly expresses the vast charm of the distant grassland. That day, after listening to Liu Jie's song from the Provincial Song and Dance Troupe, Guo Lan was most fascinated by old Soviet songs. When she heard the tune of "Hawthorn Tree" coming from next door, she went to the balcony and listened quietly for a while. Hou Weidong took off his coat, walked to the balcony with some sundries, and saw Guo Lan's silhouette when he looked up.Guo Lan's long hair has turned into small curly hair, and her nose is still slightly raised. She has worked in the organization department for several years, making her gradually mature from beautiful. Hou Weidong greeted Guo Lan, and said, "Unfortunately, these bonsai plants of mine are dead." When Hou Weidong bought a house, the homeowner was most reluctant to part with these bonsai plants.In the past, when Hou Weidong was not at home, Mrs. Guo helped to water the flowers from the balcony. Later, Professor Guo moved to Shazhou. These bonsai plants were like orphans who lost their parents, and eventually lost their vitality. Guo Lan looked at the dead branches through the wall, and said, "You have too many things to do every day, and you don't have time to manage the flowers and trees. The flowers and trees belong to retired cadres. It's too early for you to grow flowers." The two stood on the balcony and chatted for a while. As far as their eyes could see, there were lights reflecting on the lake. The breeze blew and the lights swayed, like a fairyland. While Hou Weidong and Guo Lan were chatting on the balcony, in Shazhou, Huang Zidi came to Yi Zhongling's villa again. There is another villa hidden behind the Yizhongling villa. This villa is hidden in the compound. It looks ordinary, but the interior is luxuriously decorated. Now it is Huang Zidi's special room. Before receiving 500,000 in cash, Huang Zidi often received red envelopes. These red envelopes were not big or small, which was a typical gray income. Although the family was not rich, they did not worry about food and clothing, and their happiness index was very high.After receiving 500,000 in cash, his state of mind changed dramatically. The money at home was like a flood breaking through and the suitcase was quickly filled, but his happiness index plummeted like a free fall, resulting in the current state of alcoholism. Today's drunken attitude towards life. In the middle of the hall was a bright chandelier, Huang Zidi stood in the shadows, staring blankly at the bright hall.There are fine wines and beauties in this room, and they are all for him. At this time, standing in the shadows, he looked up at everything in the hall, feeling extra illusory. Upstairs, there is wine in the wine cabinet, white wine, red wine, beer, rice wine, domestic and foreign.Just as Huang Zidi entered the hall, a beautiful woman walked down the stairs. She was tall and well-proportioned, and her movements were charming.Like an old acquaintance, she said to Huang Zidi, "What would you like to drink?" Huang Zidi stared at her intently, and said, "Pour me a glass of Moutai, I only drink this wine, it's on the counter on the left." The woman poured Huang Zidi a small glass of Moutai, poured herself a small glass of red wine, and said, "Let's clink a glass." Huang Zidi drank the Moutai in one gulp. The woman asked, "Would you like another drink?" Huang Zidi shook his head, and said: "There are no appetizers, so I won't drink." When the woman heard Huang Zidi's words, she pursed her lips and smiled, then raised her neck, drank the red wine, and said, "Go upstairs, I'll give you a massage, after you relax your body, you will feel very comfortable." There is a massage pool upstairs, which is a high-end bathing pool imported from abroad, which can spray water and shake.When Huang Zidi took off his clothes and entered the water, his body fat was lifted by the water, under the effect of buoyancy, he immediately relaxed.Seeing this body of fat, the woman felt like she had eaten fat. She suppressed this feeling and slowly took off her clothes. Huang Zidi's eyes straightened immediately. This woman had an exceptionally slender waist, a well-proportioned and firm chest, and slender legs.He looked down at his stomach, only to feel that he was a hippopotamus, and the woman was a slender white crane in the water. His hand touched the woman's waist and felt amazing elasticity. After the passion in the water, Huang Zidi soaked in the water weakly. The woman poured a glass of wine and drank it by herself. "Pour me a glass of Moutai, your wine is weak." After drinking another cup of Moutai, Huang Zidi was a little confused. He squinted his eyes and passively enjoyed the woman's body. When Huang Zidi woke up from his sleep, the woman had already left, leaving only a faint mysterious fragrance in the room. "I leave gently, just as I came gently." Huang Zidi didn't remember a few poems in his mind, but he just remembered this "Farewell to Cambridge". This elegant song sneaked into him like a ghost brain. In the front villa, Yi Zhongling was doing Taijiquan in the yard. He was thin and dressed in loose white clothes, and there was a sense of immortality in every move. Huang Zidi stood aside and looked at it for a while, then said: "Old Yi, when did you learn this trick, it looks good." Yi Zhongling came with a white crane spreading its wings, and slowly withdrew its momentum, saying: "To enjoy life, you can't do without a good body. The girl yesterday is not bad, she is a professional dancer, with great strength and good kung fu." .” "I'll learn this Taijiquan anytime." Huang Zidi walked to the garage with the key and drove the car. After sliding out, he opened the car window and said, "The girl yesterday was not bad. Let's make an appointment another day." Huang Zidi walked up to the elevator of the Municipal Party Committee Building. Last night, Fengliu seemed to be blown away by a tornado, and all that was left was a solemn and serious face.On the aisle of the office, I met Yang Liu head-on.Yang Liu quickly stopped, bent over, and said politely: "Morning Secretary Huang." Huang Zidi nodded slightly, walked to the office with his head held high. Yang Teng got up a little later, ran quickly, and went upstairs panting heavily. Seeing Yang Liu coming out of the office with a tablecloth, he asked softly, "Is Boss Huang here?" Yang Liu nodded and said, "Here we are, why didn't you follow?" Yang Teng straightened his hair and said, "It's a little bit of a delay." He was Huang Zidi's secretary, and Huang Zidi often left him when he went out, so he kept it a secret from the other secretaries.If other secretaries knew that he couldn't keep up with Huang Zidi, his worth would plummet in front of outsiders. "There will be a meeting at 10 o'clock today. The party building work meeting will be attended by the district and county organization ministers and leaders of some units in charge of the organization." Yang Teng held the schedule and stood bent over in front of Huang Zidi. Huang Zidi asked, "Have you got the speech script yet?" "It was on the table yesterday." Huang Zidi picked up the speech script, looked at the outline, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he asked: "Is Secretary Zhu's speech run through it?" Yang Teng said quickly: "In the first paragraph, Secretary Zhu's speech was relayed, and there is also a paragraph at the end." Huang Zidi carefully looked at the beginning and the end, took out another document from the drawer, pointed out the part with a horizontal line, and said, "You add all this passage to the first part, and convey the leadership's opinions to be complete." Guo Lan arrived at the venue fifteen minutes early, and she carried a booklet with her, which was "A General History of China's Political System", which was her handy book to kill boring meetings. The penultimate person who entered the conference room was Yi Zhongda, the Minister of Organization, and the penultimate person was Huang Zidi, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. When Huang Zidi entered, Guo Lan subconsciously looked at his watch. It was just 10 o'clock, which was very accurate. Party building work is a common topic. Huang Zidi has been engaged in this work for more than ten years, and he is very familiar with the guiding ideology, methods, steps, and work priorities. to emphasize. When Yi Zhongda arranged the work with sonorous words, he was a little distracted, thinking of the woman with a well-proportioned figure and amazing waist elasticity last night.His eyes kept wandering, drifted to Guo Lan, and stopped. Guo Lan was promoted by the former organization minister to be the head of the Chengjin County Party Committee. She is a well-known beauty in the organization department of the Municipal Party Committee, and she is also a single beauty.In the past, Huang Zidi didn't pay much attention to her, but today he suddenly felt that Guo Lan was very feminine and very attractive.He couldn't stare at the venue, but the more he couldn't stare, the more he wanted to. Hou Weidong had a good night's sleep in the professor building of Shazhou University. When he got up, it was already 10 o'clock. When he left, he specially greeted Professor Guo and Mrs. Guo. Mrs. Guo enthusiastically sent Hou Weidong downstairs, and said, "Xiao Hou, you know a lot of people, help me to see if there is any suitable person, Lan Lan is also a person who is over 30, if she doesn't get married, what will she do in the future?" Speaking of this topic, she began to wipe away tears, and said: "The old man's health is up and down, and he hasn't hugged his grandson yet." Hou Weidong counted the unmarried men he knew in his mind, and none of them was a good match for Guo Lan. He secretly said: "Guo Lan is a lotus flower that grows out of mud. Who in Shazhou can match her?" Hou Weidong had just returned to the Shazhou Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau, and it was already 11 o'clock.After Shen Dongfeng came to report on the daily work, he said: "Currently, most of the municipal departments have raised funds to build houses. The employees' willingness is very strong. Yesterday, there was a forum for veteran cadres, and the retired veteran cadres in the bureau also mentioned this matter." In 1998, Lingxi Province announced the end of welfare housing distribution, and the monetization and industrialization of housing became the basic direction of housing reform.However, in response to some practical difficulties, the "preferential" policy of raising funds to build houses is still retained, and the main protection objects are industrial and mining areas and enterprises in difficulty with many housing difficulties.In actual operation, it is more difficult to manage fund-raising to build houses. Some powerful departments continue to raise funds to build houses, while some disadvantaged departments are hopeless. Hou Weidong was well aware of these situations, and asked: "Our bureau also has a lot of resources in our hands. It shouldn't be a problem to raise funds to build houses. What is the difficulty?" Shen Dongfeng was reluctant to talk about the problems of his predecessor "Nan Batian", saying: "I wanted to repair it several times, but it was not completed by mistake. The policy of raising funds to build houses has become more and more stringent in the future. If you don't hurry up and repair it in the past two years, you will wait until the policy changes. , I’m afraid it will be difficult to repair.” Hou Weidong had thought about this issue a long time ago, and expressed his position very simply: "I have no objection, you propose a plan and discuss it at the team meeting, if everyone has no objection, then find a way to tackle the problem." The former director "Nan Batian" has always wanted to relocate the office building. He has done many things for this, and has achieved some results.Unexpectedly, 60% of the Long March was completed, and he was suddenly transferred from his leadership position.At the farewell banquet, "Nan Batian" was drunk, and took Hou Weidong alone, and said two regrettable things, one of which was the unsuccessful relocation of the office building.Hou Weidong kept this matter in mind at the time, but he didn't mention it hastily when he first arrived at the Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau. Today Shen Dongfeng proposed the repair of the family building, and he immediately remembered the regret of "Nan Batian". Shen Dongfeng once again experienced Hou Weidong's straightforwardness, and secretly said: "It is indeed a pleasure to work under this kind of leader." He said: "Now the land is under tight control, and the plan cannot be passed without Mayor Gao's signature. Will Bureau Hou look for it?" Mayor Gao?" After listening to Shen Dongfeng's suggestion, Hou Weidong felt a little embarrassed. He used to be the secretary of the county party committee in Chengjin, and he had replaced Gao Rong many times. It's difficult for her to do things. Hou Weidong did not show timidity in front of Shen Dongfeng, pondered for a while, and said: "I heard Director Nan said about this. At that time, his idea was to bundle the family courtyard with the relocation of the office building. The hall can provide policies and subsidies. I will find time Go to the Provincial Water Conservancy Department to implement the things that Director Nan has not finished." As long as the Provincial Department of Water Conservancy provided policies and subsidies, the city would naturally have no objections. This was a way of using chicken feathers as an arrow, and Hou Weidong wanted to use this method to bypass Gao Rong. Shen Dongfeng said: "There is a certain intention in the hall, but it is not clear." "If there is interest, we have room to fight for it. I will contact the province first, and if possible, I will go there in the afternoon." Ever since the negotiations with Shengbao Group broke down, Hou Weidong knew that he would be transferred from Chengjin. Before the Municipal Party Committee made a decision, he voluntarily requested to be transferred to the Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau.The mobilization of him this time has been carefully considered, and it is also an important step to retreat. Hou Weidong first called the former director "Nan Batian" to learn about the relocation of the office building, and then called Wu Ying, the deputy director of the Water Resources Department. Wu Ying said on the phone: "Director Nan has reported this matter to the department many times, but now the situation has changed, not only the relocation of the office building, the department is planning to set up a training base, and also a recuperation base .” Hou Weidong was very perceptive, and immediately said: "Director Wu, which area is the training base set for? If it is not decided, I hope Director Wu can consider Shazhou. Does Director Wu have time? I want to come and report in person." Wu Ying laughed and said, "Tomorrow I'm going to the United States. Either you wait until I come back from the United States, or you can come here in the afternoon." "Then I'll come over this afternoon." Putting down the phone, Hou Weidong called the Bureau Office and said, "Notify the members of the team and go to the small conference room for a meeting immediately." During the meeting, the members of the bureau team unanimously agreed to bundle the training base, nursing home, office building and housing with funds, and the location was set in the Southern New District, because the Southern New District has the best hot spring resources in Lingxi, which convinced the Water Resources Department Biggest selling point.After the brief team meeting was over, Hou Weidong found hot spring information from the Southern New District, called a car, and went straight to Lingxi. When I came to the Lingxi Provincial Water Conservancy Department, Hou Weidong called Wu Ying downstairs, and Wu Ying said: "It's not a coincidence, the director of the department notified the office meeting temporarily, and I discussed some things before I went to the United States for a business trip. In this way, after getting off work at night, Xiaoyong and Liu Mingming are going to get together in Zhuyuan, and you can wait for me in Zhuyuan.” She knew that Hou Weidong had contact with her son-in-law and Shuguang, so she asked him to attend relatively private activities. Hou Weidong stayed in the Jinxing Hotel, which is not far from the bamboo garden, so he could go to the bamboo garden in time. He rushed from Shazhou to Lingxi, and in order to save time, he didn't have time to eat lunch.At this time, there was a whole afternoon, he had lunch in the restaurant, then made a cup of tea, sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel, overlooking the streets and alleys of Lingxi from a height, the streets were full of cars and people like ants. Sitting by the window sill enjoying a quiet time for a while, the phone rang. "Weidong, I'm Zhu Xiaoyong. Mengning called me just now and said that you are coming to Zhuyuan. I am entrusted by Mengning and Fang Hongxian to officially invite Zhang Xiaojia to participate in the evening event." Hou Weidong said: "I have already arrived in Lingxi. I am in the Jinxing Hotel. Xiaojia did not come. I will contact Xiaojia immediately. The female generals are probably going to play mahjong." Zhu Xiaoyong said: "Not only Meng Ning and Fang Hongxian want to play mahjong, but my mother-in-law also plays mahjong, but she is very picky about tablemates. I heard that your wife also likes to play mahjong, so she is going to have fun with us juniors at night. " At 6:30 p.m., Wu Ying, Meng Ning, Zhu Xiaoyong, Liu Mingming, Chen Shuguang, Fang Hongxian, Hou Weidong, Xiao Jia and others all arrived.This is a pure family banquet, Wu Ying is the elder, and everyone else is the junior.Among the younger generation, Chen Shuguang is a cadre at the deputy department level, Hou Weidong is a cadre at the department level, Liu Mingming is a businessman, and Zhu Xiaoyong is the boss of a state-owned enterprise. After Wu Ying sat down, she pointed to Liu Mingming and said, "Mingming, I'm going to criticize you here. Xiaoyong, Shuguang and Weidong are all married and established, and you are still a diamond king by yourself. You will be serious this year." It’s a big event in life to find a girlfriend, get married and have children.” Liu Mingming now lives comfortably and has freedom of choice. He is not willing to get married easily. He laughed and said, "It's not that I don't want to get married. I really can't find a suitable one." Wu Ying nodded his head with her hands, and said: "Your vision is too high. When looking for a partner, don't just look at the appearance, but also look at the quality. This is the most important thing." Meng Ning interrupted with a smile: "Mom, Brother Liu, the bling bling diamond king, will depreciate immediately after getting married." Xiaojia was sitting next to Meng Ning and Fang Hongxian. She smiled and listened to Meng Ning and the others.She was born in a worker's family. In the past, all she met in her family were the elder brothers of the workers. Department-level cadres and provincial party committee secretaries are like stars in the sky.Now these star-like people are sitting next to me. Although they have played mahjong with Fang Hongxian, Meng Ning and others, they still feel unreal. Hou Weidong had worked as a secretary for Zhu Yan and Zhou Changquan, and he was well-informed. He had already passed Xiaojia's mental journey, and talked with Chen Shuguang and others normally. After dinner, Wu Ying called Hou Weidong aside and said, "Xiaohou, what do you think, talk about it honestly." Hou Weidong said: "The office building of the Municipal Agricultural Machinery and Hydropower Bureau is too dilapidated. It is not commensurate with the current rapid development of the water conservancy industry and the status of the prefecture-level bureau. I am considering rebuilding the office building of the Water and Electricity Bureau. I can get the support from the department." He said, and handed the hot spring information of the southern new area of ​​Shazhou to Wu Ying, saying: "This is the hot spring information of the southern new area, whether it is temperature, mineral content, or the difficulty of mining The level is top-notch in the province.” Wu Ying flipped through the information and said, "Xiaohou is a caring person, and he collected the information so quickly. Shazhou Xincheng District is rich in hot spring resources. This is really a unique condition and is very competitive. I discussed it with the director of the department. Later, make a decision." Hearing Wu Ying's statement, Hou Weidong knew that there was great hope, and said: "The hot spring resources in the new urban area are the best in the whole province, and the surrounding environment and basic conditions are very good. I reported to Secretary Zhu before leaving, and he expressed his full strength. support." The last sentence was fabricated on the spur of the moment, but Hou Weidong is confident in saying this. When he was secretary of the Chengjin County Party Committee, Zhu Minsheng visited the Zhushuihe Hydropower Station many times.Now as long as Haoying nods, Zhu Minsheng supports him 100%. This is not supporting Hou Weidong, but Wu Ying.With the support of Zhu Minsheng, the secretary of the municipal party committee, Gao Rong, the deputy mayor, can bypass this hurdle. After eating, Meng Ning said: "Mom, I, Hongxian and Xiaojia will play mahjong with you. There is a high-end tea room upstairs in the bamboo garden." It was the first time Wu Ying met Xiaojia and asked, "Does Zhang Xiaojia play mahjong?" She meant to ask Xiaojia if she likes to play mahjong. Meng Ning said with a smile: "Xiao Jia is a master, we fought last time." The four women went upstairs together. Before leaving, Meng Ning said to Zhu Xiaoyong: "I will play mahjong with my mother, you have to go home. The baby has not completely recovered from the fever, and the nanny is uneducated and unreliable. You need someone to watch over you. " Zhu Xiaoyong also didn't want to mix with these women, so he took the opportunity to leave.After Zhu Xiaoyong left, Chen Shuguang said, "I'm going back too, so as not to affect the mood of the ladies playing cards." Liu Mingming had an appointment with the beautiful woman at this time, and he wished to leave sooner. Hearing that Zhu Xiaoyong and Chen Shuguang were going to leave, he found a reason to leave too. Naturally, Hou Weidong couldn't stay here. He said to Xiaojia, "I'm staying at the Venus Hotel. Call me after playing cards." Meng Ning said: "Director Hou, it's rare to get together today, you have to be prepared to keep the empty room." Hou Weidong said with a smile: "I used to let Xiao Jia keep the vacant room. Today I have a taste of what it is like to keep the vacant room. It's just that Director Wu has to fly tomorrow, so don't call too late." After leaving the bamboo garden and returning to the Venus Hotel, Hou Weidong enjoyed a rare time alone, watching TV until 12 o'clock in the evening before going to bed.Thinking that Xiaojia was playing mahjong with Deputy Director Wu Ying, he didn't call to harass Xiaojia. At 7 o'clock in the morning, Hou Weidong got up, exercised in the room for about 20 minutes, and sweated a little. At 8:00, Xiao Jia returned to the Venus Hotel. When she came in, her eyes were darkened. She kicked off her shoes, lay on her back on the bed, and said, "I'm so exhausted. Aunt Wu is so energetic and always in high spirits." "Did you win or lose?" "While playing mahjong, Aunt Wu said that everyone competes fairly, and you are not allowed to deliberately play mahjong. I really played it seriously. I didn't play mahjong. Everyone's level is about the same. I guess I won some." “你还真是这么实诚，让你认真打就认真打。吴厅长是领导也是长辈，应该放水就放水，真要赢了吴厅长的钱，我都觉得过意不去。” 小佳打了个哈欠，道：“吴阿姨有几次放炮，我都没有要。” “那她赢了没有？” “应该赢了，蒙姐和方姐肯定是输了。”小佳又打了个哈欠，道，“老公，你9点喊我起床，我今天上午不想上班了，得给谢局长请假。”过了一会儿，她就发出均匀的鼾声。
