Chapter 20 Chapter Twenty

The old chief was still majestic. When Cheng Yilu saw him, he immediately returned to the army era.His first move was not a handshake, but a military salute.The old chief also returned a gift, and Feng Jun and Liu Zhuozhao followed suit. For a while, the atmosphere was really like being in a military camp. Wu Lanlan smiled and said, "Don't dawdle, hurry to the hotel, dad is tired too." Cheng Yiyi said yes, everyone got in the car, and soon arrived at Huhai Villa.Yan Lili followed at the door early, got out of the car, and entered the villa. The old chief looked at the room and said, "All the way, isn't it too..."

"Ah, this is the reception hotel of our municipal party committee. It's suitable for your level." Cheng Yiyi knew what the old chief meant, so he made it clear first. The old chief said, "I'm here to see you, but I'm not here to engage in corruption!" "What you say, old chief, don't worry, who would dare to be corrupt in front of you? Once you come, we will all return to the era of pure troops!" Cheng Yilu joked.Although it was a joke, Cheng Yiyi really felt this way in his heart.Locally, he is considered a very military leader by others.When others say this about him, he is not only not angry, but also very happy and proud.

"Look, look, it's not good to tell lies along the way!" The old chief said as he sat down. Everyone laughs.Cheng Yiyi introduced all the people present, especially the current official position.The old chief was very happy and said: "It's all good, it seems that the army still produces talents, right?" "Of course. We have four counties now, and two of the county secretaries are your subordinates. There are also many cadres from the army in Nanzhou. The key is good quality and high consciousness. This is all due to the training of the army." Cheng all the way handed tea.

"You can't say that, the comrades in the local area are also very good." The old chief said with a smile, "When you go to the local area, you are local people, but the tradition of the army cannot be lost. What I don't like the most is that those who have not The guy who has been in the local area for three years and can't even sing the military song. This is a disgrace to the army!" "It's an old tune to say these things now." Wu Lanlan interjected from the sidelines. The old chief glanced at his daughter, and Cheng changed the subject all the way: "Let's rest for a while, and then have dinner."

The dinner was held in the small restaurant of Huhai Villa, and Cheng Yiyi specially greeted them. The dishes were well prepared, but the quantity must not be too large.He is clear about the personality of the old chief, and he can't be extravagant.Sure enough, the dishes were served with wild vegetables, including wild soft-shelled turtles, flower vegetables, ferns, and lichens.Cheng thought about Yan Lili all the way, it seemed that she had worked hard.Every dish is just right, no more, no less, just finished.The wine is also Nanzhou rice wine produced in Nanzhou.This was specially arranged by Cheng Yiyi, he wanted the old chief to feel kind and simple.

The old chief was in a high mood, and after drinking three glasses of rice wine, everyone recalled the glorious years in the army.When the old chief was excited, he also told a story during the Sino-Vietnamese counterattack. It was about a Vietnamese woman who somehow fell in love with a young soldier in our army and followed the army all the time.The old chief was the teacher at the time, and he was very surprised when he found out, so he looked through the binoculars.After confirming that it was true, he asked the little soldier to return to the rear ahead of schedule.The Vietnamese woman disappeared after the little soldier left.Later, when the troops attacked a high ground, the enemy's firepower was very fierce, and the troops suffered heavy casualties.When I was feeling helpless, I saw a Vietnamese woman walking on the battlefield.She seemed to have talked with the Vietnamese army for a while in Vietnamese, and then entered the Vietnamese army's fortifications.Minutes later, the fortification exploded.

Everyone at the table was silent, and the old chief said, "I shed tears at that time." "That's right," Wu Lanlan said with her mouth in her mouth, "At that time, she saved you. But, I don't like it. Isn't that traitorous?" "Nonsense, we are fighting a just war." The voice of the old chief raised. Cheng Yiyi hurriedly looked at Wu Lanlan and said, "Don't talk about it, the situation at that time was different from what it is now." Feng Jun also stood up and offered wine to the old chief.Lu Husheng turned his face sideways and asked Wu Lanlan how the project he discussed last time was going on.Wu Lanlan said: "It's basically settled. I'm here this time to have an in-depth talk with you."

"Okay, I'll tell Mr. Jiang right away." Lu Husheng took out his mobile phone and called Jiang Hechuan while going out.After a while, he came back and said, "Mr. Jiang will come back tomorrow and receive him in person." "Is President Jiang not in Nanzhou?" Wu Lanlan asked. "I went to the province, together with Secretary Ren." Lu Husheng replied. Cheng Yiyi listened to Lu Husheng's words and didn't make a sound, thinking that just now Ye Feng called and said that he was with Ren Huaihang at noon, and probably Jiang Hechuan was also there.

The topic turned to corruption somehow, and the old chief was obviously a little excited, "I just can't figure it out, what's the point of corruption? What's the use of having too much money? Or the punishment is not in place, we must punish severely, severely punish! The Party Central Committee is dissatisfied, and the people are distressed what!" Liu Zhuozhao patted the old chief's shoulder lightly: "Corruption is a social problem. It's complicated!" "What's so complicated? As long as officials like you can clean up their lives, where does corruption come from?" The old chief became more angry, making Liu Zhuozhao blush.Cheng Yiyi took over the old chief's topic: "Yes, yes, the old chief taught correctly. The key to corruption is oneself. Once people's hearts are correct, corruption will naturally have no market. The old chief taught in time, we all remember." As he spoke, he looked at everyone and said, "It's getting late, and the old chief is tired from flying, so I suggest that everyone raise a glass to the old chief, and welcome the old chief to Nanzhou again!"

Everyone stood up, and the old chief wanted to stand up too, but Cheng Yiyi held him down.After drinking the wine, I ate some staple food.When the group left the small restaurant, Yan Lili came over and asked how the meal was going.Cheng Yiyi said it was very good.Yan Lili went all the way and whispered, "Governor Zhang is coming in two days." "Ah, I see." Cheng responded vaguely all the way. In the evening, everyone sat in the old chief's room, talking about anecdotes about Nanzhou, and about the past when he was in the army. Before he knew it, it was ten o'clock.Wu Lanlan said that her father was going to rest, and he went to bed at ten o'clock every night, nothing could be shaken.Say good night, everyone go back.Cheng had to go all the way, Yan Lili said that anyway, she would be alone when she went home, so she might as well live here.Cheng stayed all the way.He looked at Yan Lili, as if she had something to say.He asked, "Is there anything else?"

"It's okay, Secretary-General, you can rest. But..." Yan Lili hesitated. "But what?" "I seem to feel that Governor Zhang has something on his mind recently," Yan Lili said. "Ah, are you busy with work?" Cheng Yiyi felt cold in his heart, but he still persuaded him verbally, "It's okay, don't worry!" "That's good." Yan Lili said goodbye, closed the door and left. Cheng Yiyi was also a little tired. Although he didn't go to work as usual, he put his heart into it this day.He took a shower, sat on the bed and watched TV.The tourism situation of the Golden Week is being broadcast on TV.He looked annoyed.He could imagine that other people were in Jiuzhaigou, and the picturesque scenery was really intoxicating.But when he wanted to come back, he was relieved to see the old chief, and the old chief was still so healthy. Yan Lili said just now that Governor Zhang Minzhao was coming to Nanzhou, but she probably only told her about it.Then, it is impossible for Cheng Yiyi to ask.About the leadership, even relatives should not ask too much.Sometimes, if you don't ask, you just don't know. When others ask vaguely, they think you know.In the early years, when Zhang Minzhao was still in Nanzhou, several times his aunt asked about Zhang Minzhao and Yan Lili, but Cheng Yiyi said he hadn't heard about it.And persuaded: An official, there are some rumors outside, it is all done by people with ulterior motives, you can't believe it!In fact, even if I believe it, my aunt has nothing to do.Nowadays, it is normal for those of the opposite sex who walk in the officialdom to have a close relationship.In the past few years, many leading cadres have had accidents. Once they were found out, there were some behind each of them, and some even used "MBA" to manage them. These things are not surprising to someone like Cheng Yiyi who has been in the officialdom for more than ten years.However, Yan Lili said that she felt that Zhang Minzhao was in a bad mood. Thinking of the last time Zhang Minzhao came to Nanzhou mysteriously and hurriedly, Cheng Yiyi felt that some people had to think elsewhere.Officialdom is like rivers and lakes, sometimes even more sinister than rivers and lakes. Cheng thought about this all the way, so he didn't have the heart to watch TV any more, so he simply turned it off, and sat on the bed alone and lit a cigarette.He usually doesn't smoke in bed.Only when I have something on my mind, and when I am alone, I smoke one occasionally.Nanzhou's officialdom has always been relatively calm.Over the years, although some individuals have been punished for corruption, there have been no major shocking cases.The biggest case was that the former secretary of the county party committee of Tongshan County received 10,000 yuan from a township head, but the case happened because the township head lost the election.This case was once regarded by Zhang Minzhao as a negative example, and he was repeatedly preached at the city's cadre meeting.After Secretary Ren Huaihang came, he said many times: the team in Nanzhou is united, and the cadres in Nanzhou are united.The speed of development of a place is inseparable from the unity of the team and the unity of the cadres.Unity, twisted into one rope, is the driving force of economic development.The implication is that if a place is not united, there will be fighting in the nest, the leadership will be turbulent, the people will be uneasy, and the economy will not develop. It seems that the past few years in Nanzhou have been considered calm.Even though there were large and small conflicts between Ren Huaihang and Wang Shida, they were not to the point of affecting the unity of the entire team and economic development.As a member of the municipal party committee, Cheng Yiyi hoped that Nanzhou would be peaceful from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't want problems to arise.It's like plucking a radish, if you don't pull it out, there will be peace.One was pulled out and the soil loosened.The loosened soil will bring out another large piece of turnip.This is what Cheng Yilu doesn't want to see, and it's also the last thing he wants to see. The night at Huhai Villa was very quiet, and Cheng Yiyi didn't know when he fell asleep.When I woke up in the morning, the birds outside were singing high and low.Cheng walked out of the room all the way, and immediately saw Wu Lanlan standing under the shade of a tree, twisting her waist.He wanted to turn around, but Wu Lanlan had already seen him.Wu Lanlan asked: "Didn't you go back last night?" "Ah, it's too late, I'm going to sleep here." Cheng said all the way forward. There is still a little mist in the morning air, but it is fresh.Wu Lanlan smiled and said, "I don't know, otherwise I would have dragged you out for a drink last night." "That's right. I rarely go out at night. Is the condition here okay?" Cheng Yiyi started the topic. "That's right," Wu Lanlan twisted her waist again, "Of course it's not wrong, Royal Hotel!" "Haha, the royal family is in Beijing. Nanzhou is located in a remote place, it's a river and a lake!" Cheng looked at Wu Lanlan all the way.Wu Lanlan didn't wear makeup, her face looked pale and slack. "I'm old, aren't I?" "Oh, no, no, no! Very well. You're old, don't I get older?" "I know. Time is not forgiving!" Wu Lanlan said and glanced at Cheng Yiyi.Cheng Yiyi didn't meet her eyes, but looked at the lake not far away, where two waterfowls were swimming leisurely in the water. The old chief also got up, and Cheng Yiyi said hello and asked how he was resting.The old chief said it was great, but not as comfortable as a hard bed.Wu Lanlan said: "Dad just likes a hard bed, and he doesn't think it's enough after sleeping for a lifetime." Cheng Yiyi smiled and said: "This is not only in line with tradition, but also in line with the concept of health preservation in modern medicine." Wu Lanlan said that as long as you can speak, You always say nice things, no wonder Dad likes you so much.After she finished speaking, she also felt that she had spoken too much, blushed, and stopped immediately. In the morning, according to Cheng Yiyi's arrangement, Cheng Yiyi and Feng Jun accompanied the old chief to look around Nanzhou City, focusing on Nanzhou Old Street, which is the Binjiang Avenue that is about to be rebuilt along the river.The old head was full of interest and walked around to see, especially interested in some ancient buildings.On the ancient pagoda of Nanzhou, the old chief looked into the distance, and unexpectedly said: Thousands of miles of Yangtze River water is vast, The Pentium is endless and the spring is mighty. Wish to be a river to wash away the dust, The people and the country prosper. Cheng Yiyi said with a smile: "The old chief's poems are powerful and open-minded. They are really generals!" Feng Jun also said next to him: "When I go back, please ask the old chief to write this poem in person, and I will put it in the office. I hope that the river will wash away the dust, the government will be smooth, the people and the country will be prosperous, good, good!" The old chief just laughed, but Wu Lanlan said nonchalantly from the side: "I think it's just average, with old teeth. How about leaving it in the office? Secretary Feng is really good at flattering horses!" Cheng pulled Wu Lanlan all the way to signal her to stop talking.The old chief's face was also a little downcast.A group of people got off the tower, and the car took them around the city again.The old chief said that Nanzhou's urban planning is still good, with a lot of money.Then everyone talked about the urbanization process in various parts of the country, but the old chief was not very happy, saying that cities were being expanded everywhere, and how much fertile land was wasted.People depend on food, what should we do in the future?This is eating ancestral rice!And if it is really to expand the city, it will be easier to handle, the key is to enclose the land.The old chief asked Cheng Yilu: Is there such a phenomenon in Nanzhou?Cheng Yiyi said that there should not be any. "That's good," said the old chief. "The central government will focus on land rectification in the next step. If the land policy is not tight, future generations will scold us!" Cheng nodded all the way.Jiang Hechuan called and said that he had rushed back, and Secretary Ren Huaihang also came back together, as well as Director Huang Chuan Huang, and everyone was waiting for the old chief at Huhai Villa.Cheng Yiyi hurriedly told the old chief, who was a little unhappy, saying that coming to Nanzhou this time was purely a private act, and it was best not to let the leader come forward.Cheng Yiyi said that I knew that the old chief didn't want to disturb the place, so he didn't say anything in advance.However, you are a general, and if you are here, the leaders of Nanzhou City will not show up, which is beyond reason and reason.Just give me face, everyone sit down.The old chief said: That's fine, but it must be simple. As soon as he returned to Huhai Villa, Cheng Yiyi hurriedly informed Yan Lili: "Chinese food must not be too rich." Yan Lili said: "I know, it must be fine but not too much, I will check it myself!" After all, Ren Huaihang is the secretary of the municipal party committee who has seen big scenes. When he saw the old chief, his style and method of speech changed.He introduced some situations in Nanzhou very simply and practically, and then talked about several old generals he knew in the province.Two of them were comrades-in-arms of the old chief in the early years.In this way, the topic was picked.The old chief seems to have relaxed and talked more.Jiang Hechuan went out with Wu Lanlan early to talk about their cooperation.Huang Chuan sat on the side, and Cheng Yiyi could tell that Huang Chuan's brows were not stretched, and when he smiled occasionally, he was also absent-minded. Ren Huaihang has become the best listener today.He has been listening to the conversation of the old chief, even if the old chief said a little too much, he just listened.Cheng Yiyi thought that this is Ren Huaihang's strength, he can hold on, and he can sink down. What is needed most now is this kind of sophistication. The atmosphere of the Chinese food is naturally unexpectedly harmonious. Ren Huaihang said that he is now engaged in efficiency construction, and Chinese food is forbidden to drink alcohol, so I ask the old chief for understanding.The old chief was even more happy, saying that a secretary can take the lead like this, and there is nothing wrong with it.The word is serious.Cheng Yiyi seldom saw Ren Huaihang's performance, and he was also amazed.Usually, Ren Huaihang always likes to touch his hair, but today Cheng Yiyi didn't see it once.It can be seen that many habits of people only appear in certain situations.He suddenly felt that Secretary Ren Huaihang was a little strange.But he couldn't tell where the strangeness was.
