Just when Zhang Zhenyu was about to go back to his hometown first, he unexpectedly received a call from Lu Guorong, saying that he wanted to invite him to dinner.

The deputy mayor invited himself to dinner? When did he have such a big face? Zhang Zhenyu couldn't believe it anymore.

Although he was confused, Zhang Zhenyu agreed without much hesitation.

The Zhang Zhenyu who was driving to pick him up was almost spread across the city. The car stopped silently in an inconspicuous courtyard in the suburbs of the city. However, when Zhang Zhenyu followed Yu Zhizhang into the hotel, he felt the unusualness here.

Elegant and moderate Chinese classical environment, green potted screens, elegant cheongsam lady... Zhang Zhenyu commented that this boss must have spent some effort, and you can get a glimpse of these furniture that imitates the Ming Dynasty style.

Today, Lu Guorong's guests are obviously not just Zhang Zhenyu and Yu Zhizhang, because when they arrived, there were already a few people in the private room. However, they were basically Zhang Zhenyu's acquaintances, He Wanzhang, the principal of No. 1 Middle School, and Fang Yuanshan, the vice principal.

Seeing Zhang Zhenyu coming in after Yu Zhizhang, Lu Guorong greeted: "Xiao Zhang is here, sit down quickly. There will be a while left for the meal, and there will be still people who have not arrived."

While we were talking, there were sounds of talking and footsteps outside, and then a beautiful figure appeared at the door.

The person who came was not someone else, but was Wen Yuan who had met at the Crown Hotel before and was also Wen Yuan who had been kind to him before Zhang Zhenyu was reborn.

It seems that the person Lu Guorong said he was waiting for should be her.

……………………

After some greetings, Wenyuan said to Zhang Zhenyu: "Senior brother, you haven't congratulated you on achieving excellent results at the University of Science and Technology."

Zhang Zhenyu smiled and said, "Sister Yuan is so polite. It's just an ordinary final exam."

Wen Yuan said: "It is rare to achieve excellent results in a top-notch university like Huaxia University of Science and Technology, even if it is just a final exam, especially for children who go to areas with relatively backward education like ours."

Zhang Zhenyu deeply understands Wen Yuan’s words.

During the chat, the waiter started serving the dishes.

This meal was not as rich and luxurious as Zhang Zhenyu had imagined before, and it could even be said to be a little simple, but the atmosphere was very lively.

Soon, the topic talked about Wenyuan's early job transfer. Only then did Zhang Zhenyu realize that Wenyuan's job had been transferred last month, and her new job surprised Zhang Zhenyu even more.

Wenyuan took the initiative to stretch out her white and tender jade like a spring onion and said to Zhang Zhenyu: "Senior brother, let's meet again. Wenyuan, the head of Dongling Township, has just taken office for a few days. In the future, I have to ask you, the landlord, to support my sister's work!"

Zhang Zhenyu hurriedly held her little hand and said seriously: "Zhang Zhenyu, a student from a poor family, needs to ask Sister Yuan, you, as the official of your parents to take care of her in your future studies."

Wen Yuan couldn't hold back anymore and said angrily: "Okay, you guy, my sister hasn't spoken yet, you've called me first. You don't know if you're the top scorer in the province, and the bonuses given to you by the school and the Education Commission are astronomical. If you are still a student from a poor family, then few college students will not be poor."

……………………

Lu Guorong next to him shook his head and said, "Okay, you two little guys don't talk badly there. Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wenxin went to work in Dongling Township. You are a local. And I heard that your Zhang family and your mother's family are all big families with different localities. With your influence in the local area, I also hope you can support her work more."

Zhang Zhenyu said seriously: "Don't worry, Director Lu, I understand even if you don't mention it. Although Sister Yuan and I haven't communicated much for a long time, I think we are particularly destined to be like my sister. And I can also see that Sister Yuan is determined to do something in Dongling Township and has the ability to do something. This is also a good thing for more than 10,000 fellow villagers in Dongling Township. I will not drag my back on both public and private. Sister Yuan, as long as she has something to use for me, please speak up."

Wenyuan raised her glass and said, "Just say this to you, my sister, thank you very much. Come on, I'll give you a glass!"

The two of them immediately clashed.

Then, the topic gradually shifted to Wen Yuan's work situation.

Except for Zhang Zhenyu and Wen Yuan, the other few people on the table were all officials at the deputy division level or above. However, because they all came from the education office and were all laymen for such grassroots work, they were very interested in understanding them.

At this time, Wenyuan showed some distressed expressions and began to talk about her experience in the past half month of visiting Dongling Township.

Most of the employees of Dongling Township are welcomed by a young female township leader like her. After all, no one dislikes the beauty. The secretary, the head of the family, also respects her and asks her for her opinions on major issues.

However, Wen Yuan was not optimistic about the work of Dongling Township, because she deeply felt that the work of the entire Dongling Township Government was filled with a deep breath, and almost everyone had the idea of ​​walking as a car.

As a young leader who has come from public institutions, especially those of the Crown Hotel, Wenyuan has traveled many places over the years. She knows very well that in China, many places have entered the fast lane of rapid development, and everyone is chasing each other and rushing against time to develop. However, this atmosphere is completely unseen by the Dongling Township Government.

……………………

Zhang Zhenyu deeply felt the same as what Wen Yuan mentioned. The strong dusk atmosphere in the Dongling Township Government not only exists now, but also exists from top to bottom even when he entered the township government to work more than ten years later.

Most of the leadership teams of the township government have been working in the village for decades, which sounds very touching, but for a government, such an evaluation is not a good thing.

It is said that running water does not rot, the door hinge does not rot. In such an environment that is almost stagnant, everyone just wants to live a life. Who would have the will to do work?

The problem of solidification not only exists in the leadership team, but also in the middle and lower-level cadres. Now there are nearly 30 middle and lower-level cadres in the township government, but the recent group has entered the last two years of the last century.

It is not that there are no new people in the government in recent years, but that new people are basically unable to stay in that environment and will soon find ways to transfer them away.

In this way, there were almost no young people who stayed there.

These original elderly people generally have low education. Whether they are leaders or middle and lower-level staff, they are basically junior high school or secondary vocational education. Even if they have studied correspondence courses, some people have obtained college degree, but they are almost useless for improving their abilities.

With a low education and a small age, such people have almost no future, so there is no need to mention their enthusiasm for work.

……………………

When Wen Yuan talked about these things at this time, in addition to complaining to Lu Guorong, her high school teacher, she also had the intention of asking for advice. However, Zhang Zhenyu felt that she was a little blind.

As for education, people like Lu Guorong are definitely at the level of experts, at least in Dongjiang City. However, the so-called "straight journeys are like mountains" and they have never been exposed to grassroots work, so they may not be able to help Wen Yuan change this situation.

This is true. Although Lu Guorong and the others gave a lot of opinions and suggestions for Wen Yuan, Zhang Zhenyu could see that there were almost no opinions and suggestions that could work.

However, Zhang Zhenyu didn't say much. First, he was too young, and second, he was just a student. I'm afraid they wouldn't pay much attention to what he proposed.

Zhang Zhenyu knew very well that they invited him to come today because they were just looking at the two leading local families, Zhang and Chen, who were standing behind him. He hoped that he could exert his personal identity in the family, create conditions for Wenyuan's future work, and at least reduce resistance.

Although it sounds bad, the influence of clan forces on the local area exists at any time. This is especially true in a relatively closed political ecological environment like Dongling Township.

In such a place, any government official's words are not as effective as the influential personnel in the local family.
