Seeing that the atmosphere in the banquet became lively, Zhou Nan smiled, picked up the wine glass and said, "Okay, let me say a few words. With this first glass of wine, I would like to toast everyone here and thank you for your support to me for so long.
Without everyone’s support and help in my work, I, the secretary of the town committee, would be alone and unable to do anything, and I would not be able to do it well.”
"Have a drink." After Zhou Nan finished speaking, he took the lead and drank it all in one gulp. Song Xiaolin beside him quickly stood up and filled Zhou Nan's glass of beer.
Ma Zhongling smiled and raised his glass and said, "Secretary Zhou, the leader should not be so polite. It should be all of us comrades here. I would like to propose a glass of wine to Secretary Zhou and thank the leader for his care and concern for everyone."
Ma Zhongling also drank it all in one gulp, and the half cup of Moutai was full in one gulp.
Zhang Zhijun and others looked at him and smiled bitterly, but since the mayor took the lead in drinking, how could they not drink?
Zhao Qiang looked at the half-cup of Moutai in his glass with some "reluctance", hesitated again and again, and drank it in one gulp. After finishing it, he smacked his lips lightly and said, "Several leaders, I drank so much. I haven't tasted Moutai yet."
The taste is here."
Zhang Zhijun glared at him, and Zhao Qiang realized that he had talked too much today, so he quickly shut his mouth and sat there without saying a word.
Zhao Qiang stood up and opened another bottle of liquor, poured some more for Ma Zhongling and others, then sat down and poured some more into his own glass.
Seeing that the wine was poured again, Zhou Nan smiled and picked up the glass and said loudly, "This second glass of wine is still a thank you wine. I would like to thank the comrades in the town for taking care of my personal life...especially Comrade Xiao Song,
She takes care of my daily life every day, helps me clean every day, and sometimes helps me with laundry and so on. Thank you very much."
"Secretary Zhou, I..." Song Xiaolin didn't expect that Zhou Nan would thank her in person on such a public occasion. Her pretty face immediately turned red, and she didn't know what to say when she got up.
Zhang Zhijun smiled and said, "Xiao Song, please sit down and listen to what the leader has to say."
Zhou Nan turned around and glanced at Song Xiaolin gently, and then said, "I always feel that there is a kind of fate between people, and it is a blessing to be able to work together. I hope that in the future we can all unite as one to bring Ningshan to the world.
The town’s affairs are well done.”
"Cheers to a better tomorrow in Ningshan Town." Zhou Nan drank it all in one gulp.
Song Xiaolin glanced at Zhou Nan hesitantly, then picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank all the beer.
The celebration banquet ended happily that night. Except for Zhou Nan, Ma Zhongling and others drank a lot of wine. Since Zhou Nan came, because of the strict control of the government's work style and the prohibition of eating and drinking with public funds, there are fewer drinking places for cadres in the town.
It was a lot. Tonight it was rare for Zhou Nan to be merciful and let go, so everyone naturally drank with open stomachs and drank to their heart's content.
In the afternoon of the next day, Song Xiaolin took several newspapers from the county party committee and delivered them to Zhou Nan's office in person.
After browsing these newspapers, Zhou Nan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He had tried his best to keep a low profile during yesterday's activities.
Except for making a necessary presiding speech at the ceremony, he never appeared in front of the cameras of media reporters. Even at the subsequent press conference, he arranged for Qiu Gang, deputy secretary of the town party committee, to represent the town party committee.
The town government attended the interview with reporters, but did not appear in public.
But unexpectedly, in the reports published by various newspapers today, he inevitably became the protagonist of the news, and he couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to.
Perhaps it is a coincidence that major media in Ningnan City, including Ningnan Daily, the official newspaper of the Ningnan Municipal Party Committee, reported the opening ceremony of the Ningshan Market Logistics Project prominently on the front page, but the focus of the news However, they did not focus on the project itself, but on the "person" Zhou Nan.
Of course, official phrases such as "Municipal Party Committee Secretary Feng Botao, Mayor Ma Liguo and other city leaders inspected and guided the work" are indispensable.
Because it is a party newspaper, the style of "Ningnan Daily" is relatively serious and formal. It focuses on the necessary descriptions of the activities attended by the municipal party committee and government leaders, and also "retells" the speeches of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Feng Botao and Mayor Ma Liguo. .
But in the second half of the news, reporters focused their attention on Zhou Nan. He was highly praised and even called him "a banner figure in attracting investment in Ningnan."
This sentence was a "joke" made by Feng Botao, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, at a symposium. He said it half-jokingly at the time. Zhou Nan didn't pay attention to it, and neither did other city leaders, but careful reporters noticed and quoted it.
The headline of "Ningnan Morning News" is a bit intriguing: "Young business tycoon, practical young cadre"
This report used a lot of words to introduce Zhou Nan's origins, educational background, and his life trajectory when he founded Feiteng Group, which revolutionized the domestic and foreign business circles, and now gave up business and entered politics.
After Zhou Nan finished reading, he couldn't help looking up at Song Xiaolin with a frown, and sighed, "Xiao Song, these reporters are really stupid and write nonsense. They are called here to promote our Ningshan Town and Ningshan County and improve our I want to increase my regional reputation and lay the foundation for promoting investment in the future, but why are they targeting me personally? It’s really boring.”
Song Xiaolin covered her mouth and smiled softly, "Secretary Zhou, who makes your own experience so legendary? It is far more newsworthy than our engineering projects."
"Many reporters gathered around me yesterday, trying desperately to inquire about Secretary Zhou's personal situation... They were all curious as to why a big entrepreneur like Secretary Zhou suddenly thought of coming to a poor place like ours to endure hardship... To be honest , I was actually quite curious at first.”
Zhou Nan sighed again, put aside the newspaper in his hand in disappointment, and took the initiative to change the topic, "Forget it, I won't read this anymore, it's boring. By the way, Xiao Song, you go to the county committee tomorrow morning and tell me Send this document to Secretary Zhang."
Zhou Nan took out a brown paper bag from his desk drawer and handed it to Song Xiaolin.
"Okay, Secretary Zhou, I'll go as soon as I get to work tomorrow." Song Xiaolin responded respectfully, then hesitated for a moment, and whispered softly, "Secretary Zhou, I..."
"Hey, do you have something to tell me?" Zhou Nan smiled.
"Secretary Zhou, I heard from someone from the Organization Department of the County Party Committee that you are going to be transferred out of Ningshan Town and go to the county to be the deputy county magistrate. I think..." Song Xiaolin blushed and muttered a few words, but the rest of the words But he couldn't speak.
Zhou Nan was startled and then realized that in the officialdom, news of cadre promotions always spread as soon as possible, and there was no way he could hide this matter.
He chuckled and waved his hand, "Don't listen to these rumors. I can tell you that I won't leave Ningshan Town for the time being. Don't worry."
Zhou Nan glanced at Song Xiaolin, who was blushing and a bit cautious, and said softly, "Do your job well, and I will help you if you have the opportunity in the future."
Song Xiaolin felt happy when she heard this, but her face turned redder. In fact, she didn't want to make any request to Zhou Nan, but wanted to work beside him, but it seemed that Zhou Nan had misunderstood her meaning, and she couldn't explain anything.
The news that Zhou Nan was coming to the county to be the deputy county magistrate spread like wildfire. It was said that the news came from the Organization Department of the Ningnan Municipal Party Committee. It was also said that the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee had talked to Zhou Nan and that Zhou Nan would take office in two days.
After receiving the news, Zhang Dazhong walked around the office irritably, feeling unspeakable annoyance in his heart.
Zhou Nan is a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee. If he comes to the county to serve as deputy county magistrate, he will definitely be ranked ahead of him in the county government team and must be on top of his head. When he thinks of this, Zhang Dazhong cannot control the anger in his chest.
And jealousy - for such a boy with no foundation or qualifications in the county, why should he?
Zhang Dazhong stared fiercely at a sycamore tree outside the office window. Suddenly a sharp light flashed out of the corner of his eyes. He stood there and sneered, "Come on, come on, deputy county magistrate of the Standing Committee, hehe, he is very awesome, but
Chen Dong is not someone to be trifled with, I hope you can get along peacefully..."
There is a deputy county magistrate who is a member of the Standing Committee, and a member of the Standing Committee who is also the executive deputy county magistrate. There are two deputy county magistrates who have joined the standing committee of the county government at the same time. There will definitely be a power struggle in the future, and it may even lead to a bloody battle. This kind of
There is no precedent in the city.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Dazhong sneered and walked out of his office, intentionally or unintentionally walking towards the office of Chen Dong, the executive deputy county magistrate, who was on the same floor not far away.
When he walked to the door of Chen Dong's office, he smiled when he saw that Chen Dong had the door open, "Old Chen, what are you busy with?"
Chen Dong was reading the newspaper. When he looked up and saw Zhang Dazhong, he smiled and said, "Old Zhang, come and sit down. I'm reading today's newspaper... Today's newspaper reported on the market logistics project in Ningshan Town.
.Tsk tsk, the Municipal Party Committee Secretary and the Mayor are here, Comrade Zhou Nan’s face is not small!”
Zhang Dazhong curled his lips indifferently, "I also read the newspaper. However, I am just curious. Are they reporting on the project or praising Comrade Zhou Nan personally... These reports make people feel uncomfortable. I didn't expect that Zhou Nan...
Comrades are not very young, but they like to seek fame and reputation."
Hearing Zhang Dazhong criticize Zhou Nanlai, Chen Dong frowned secretly, feeling that Zhang Dazhong seemed to have gone too far. No matter what, Zhou Nan was a member of the County Party Committee Standing Committee. You, an ordinary deputy county magistrate, openly gossiped about a county committee member.
It's a very taboo thing.
Seeing that Chen Dong remained silent, Zhang Dazhong smiled faintly and said, "Old Chen, I heard that Comrade Zhou Nan is coming to the county to be the deputy county magistrate? Is it true or false?"
When he said this, Zhang Dazhong secretly observed Chen Dong's face. Hearing this, a trace of gloom flashed across Chen Dong's face. Although this gloomy emotion passed away in a flash, Chen Dong concealed it very well, but he still fell into Zhang Dazhong's eyes.
