This fish feast at noon, I have to say, is really awesome...
Xiao Zixin, who was born and raised here, was deeply impressed by this.
The town where his family lives does not produce fish, but Jinshan Township has two large reservoirs. Every time the leaders come, the first meal is a special fish feast, which is almost like a state banquet.
To be honest, just for this colorful fish feast, accompanied by fine wine and beauties, singing and dancing, it would be a damn sin not to be an official in this life.
I traveled around the towns below for a day with Secretary Wang of the County Party Committee, Director Liu, County Magistrate Gao and Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Even when I burped in the car, there was a bright smell of fish. Haha, it was so delicious. I was so happy. The last stop was
The Economic Development Zone in the west of the county introduced four large Chinese and foreign companies a year ago. Due to time constraints, we visited two townships in the morning. Jinshan Township was the first stop, and we reluctantly made another stop in the afternoon because we were delayed for too long in Jinshan Township.
, everything did not proceed as planned.
By around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the day's joint drill of several major teams should have ended successfully. The leaders looked at Secretary Wang Guoqing's confused face, his mouth tilted on one side of the passenger seat and the long hair at the corner of his mouth.
He drooled, "Forget it, County Magistrate Gao, let's go again someday. It's not until this day. Secretary Wang is also tired..." These were the thoughtful words that Director Liu hinted to County Magistrate Gao, and Xiao Zixin could hear them from the side.
Clearly. Smile, let me take the test!
In fact, he hoped in his heart to return to the county government as soon as possible. Anyway, the day is not far away. This group of people, when it comes to Americans, Hong Kong companies must not disgust people to death.
Going to the joint venture for research and on-site work, everything is just a cloud.
But he didn't dare to say it and looked at County Magistrate Gao eagerly.
"Okay, that's fine, then let's go back." County Magistrate Gao thought for a moment, looked at Secretary Wang again, and nodded in agreement.
Everyone knows that the stroll around the mountains and plains of Jinshan Township in the morning was nonsense, and the fish dinner at noon was a trick of the Jinshan Township leaders. The result was that everyone was confused and had no intention of watching the sword while drunk.
We were researching some joint venture and working on site. Moreover, Secretary Wang Guoqing was serious and exceeded the standard, almost unconscious...
The convoy split up in Tahrir Square on the way back, and each returned to his or her own unit.
Although County Magistrate Gao had already greeted Secretary Wang Guoqing, Director Liu and Chairman Deng when he got on the bus, Magistrate Gao called Secretary Wang again in the car and said that if nothing happened, he would go back to the office.
Secretary Wang seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He was in a good mood and said, "Ah ah ah... ah, go back and have a rest. I'm very tired today. I'll go home directly."
Now, I have to go back and wash myself. Ziba is so sweaty. How about you? My family has moved here, and my wife has also come here. Haha, but I think we can go directly to the hotel. The conditions there are better, so you can wash up too.
Let’s eat after we’re done.”
"Thank you, Secretary Wang. I'll go to the hotel right now."
After a busy afternoon, Xiao Zixin felt much better. Xiao Zixin felt good because County Magistrate Gao was in a good mood. The driver Xiao Wang drove the car directly into the hotel and got off. Cheng Zikuan, the chief prosecutor of the Procuratorate, accompanied a group of guests.
When I got out of the car and saw County Magistrate Gao's car entering the hospital, Prosecutor Cheng asked the Deputy Prosecutor General to lead the guests in first. He stood there waiting for him: "County Magistrate Gao, have you just come back from going to the countryside?"
"No, haha, I've been running around all day, where are the guests?" Chief Prosecutor Cheng said: "The Municipal Procuratorate has just arrived. I have to keep company with the leader, right? Haha!"
Prosecutor Cheng and County Magistrate Gao entered the hotel door together, laughing and joking.
Chief Inspector Cheng was also transferred from another county during an exchange program. The two of them lived in the same room for half a month when they were studying at the Municipal Party School. They got along very well and shared many common interests, especially some views on today's society.
What's more, they met close friends and often drank together. They were both young cadres under the age of 40. The municipal party committee focused on cultivating talents. Therefore, the relationship between the two became better and better. When they left the party school, they were already like brothers and had a deep relationship.
Cheng Zikuan arrived in Xuanpu County first. He now has two titles, one is the prosecutor general and the other is the director of the procuratorial committee. When he was first transferred, he was also the elder brother, alone, and he was also a deputy. He went through a period of depression and discomfort.
However, after all, he had been in the official circles of the municipal party committee for a long time and had rich experience, so he soon had a group of new brothers. By the time County Magistrate Gao was transferred two years ago, he basically had some foundation.
As for County Magistrate Gao, he regarded him as a confidant and soon straightened him up. For this, Cheng Zikuan was naturally grateful. Although he had worked as a small technician in the County Agricultural Bureau at first and was familiar with the situation in Xuanpu County, after more than ten years,
In the past, the city's appearance and government personnel have undergone earth-shaking changes. His current situation and connections in Xuanpu County are basically like a perpetual motion machine.
When County Magistrate Gao came to take office, he did not bring any soldiers, but he was also a bare commander, so he was particularly friendly when he saw Cheng Zikuan. In the past six months, Cheng Zikuan and he had become closer, talking about everything, whatever personal matters they had.
Talk to each other or come up with ideas to help.
When he was working in the original county, he was under some pressure because of Cheng Zikuan's incident. County Magistrate Gao had to run around, find relatives and trustees to build relationships, and finally found a accepting unit and was transferred to a neighboring county. He escaped the disaster.
Later, no matter how they asked, he didn't say anything. He secretly completed all the procedures and left quietly.
Otherwise, we will be in big trouble.
It has been more than two years since I came back this time. Occasionally at night I think of the embarrassing appearance, and I still feel uncomfortable, so I never mention it. However, to County Magistrate Gao, he definitely regards him as a brother!
Director Zhang and Xiao Zixin got out of the car. When they saw County Magistrate Gao talking to Cheng Zikuan, they went in first. The reason why County Magistrate Gao agreed to come back early was because there were guests to entertain here.
After going in and walking around to see if the guests had not arrived yet, they came out again and stood at the door waiting for County Magistrate Gao.
"Hey, Zikuan, I was just looking for you."
"Is something wrong?"
"Just like last time," County Magistrate Gao said to Prosecutor Cheng Cheng while standing in the hall, "Do you have a suitable person on hand? Get one for me."
Cheng Zikuan immediately understood what he meant and said with a smile: "Why, do you want to get a confidant?"
County Magistrate Gao smiled and said nothing.
"Don't tell me, hehe, there is actually one now."
Someone hurriedly came to ask Chief Inspector Cheng to take a seat quickly, saying that the leaders from the city asked him what he was doing. Cheng Zikuan said: "Okay, okay, tell the leaders that I will be there soon. Just tell a white lie."
, you won’t say that I went to the bathroom!” He turned around and made a face to County Magistrate Gao, and said jokingly: “I can’t help myself, man! You guys are all leaders, and you keep me pissed all day long, you see.
!”
Then he deliberately let it slip and said, "I'll talk to you in the office tonight about this matter."
Without waiting for an answer, he quickly walked into the Beauty Pine Garden inside.
The general manager of the hotel had been waiting nearby for a long time, and then said: "County Magistrate Gao, what would you like to eat tonight?"
"Just eat whatever you want, keep it light, we have a meeting in the evening."
"Have the guests arrived?" County Magistrate Gao asked, and Director Zhang said, "It's almost there. I asked Xiao Xiao to contact him. He said he would be there in ten minutes."
When the general manager saw Director Zhang and Xiao Zixin next to County Magistrate Gao, and only the driver Da Lanzi behind him, he understood and asked a beautiful front office waitress to accompany them to a private room to rest, and he immediately went to make arrangements.
When it comes to being an official, Xiao Zixin has really felt the wonderful taste of being a person and an official in China from the bones to the flesh. One of these is to pick up and send people to and from these inconspicuous public occasions every day.
In the service, through endless flattery and thoughtful respect, the dignity and joy of the inner world are obtained.
Although he is not technically an official now, this feeling is stronger and more obvious than all his social experiences, including his experience in the student union when he was a college student.
Is it okay if he doesn’t become an official, or replaces him with someone else, or says he is not the county magistrate’s secretary?
In many aspects, as long as County Magistrate Gao says something or nods, someone will understand and immediately take action. Even Xiao Zixin himself often has this kind of power inexplicably nowadays.
Thinking of this, Miao Xiaolin's face suddenly flashed in front of his eyes again. The driver Da Lanzi came back with a pack of cigarettes and placed them on the sofa next to him. Xiao Zixin had never been fond of Magistrate Gao's driver.
Arrogance, Da Lanzi has been taking Xiao Zixin more and more seriously recently. He has seen how much County Magistrate Gao values Xiao Zixin.
Therefore, as soon as they got together, he (this awesome comrade driver who is said to be the largest cadre in the country) was also very friendly to Xiao Zixin, and would often go to the lobby with him to ask for one or two good cigarettes to take home when eating at the county government hotel.
Yes, County Magistrate Gao turned a blind eye and took no trouble. When he went out to and fro, or when he was alone in the county, as long as it was not official business and no leaders were present, he would let Xiao Wang have dinner with him. He never acted like
Some leaders, even if they are deputy directors, still want to show off their leadership status. They will never let the driver sit at the same table as him, but will have someone else arrange it for the driver to show his status as a leader.
County Magistrate Gao has never been like this.
Therefore, in addition to Director Zhang, Xiao Zixin, and driver Da Lanzi have actually become his confidants.
However, these are just superficial phenomena. He could not tell the driver Da Lanzi about many of County Magistrate Gao's matters and some of his secret requests or desires deep in his heart, let alone let him handle them. So in the past, almost no one could
The replacement was then Director Zhang, and then until now it is Xiao Zixin.
He would feel a little regretful and lonely. He held an important position in the county. In the officialdom, it was absolutely impossible to have a few confidants. At the critical moment, no one would step in for you. Just like after the antique street incident, he sent
The things that Xiao Zixin goes to do are the same. You always have to go out in person, show up, and go into battle shirtless. There is no buffer zone in the middle. It's strange that you won't get hurt when something big happens. If you don't do it right, no matter how bad your luck is, all your previous efforts will be wasted.
This is exactly how Secretary Wang Guoqing nominally led a team to the countryside for investigation this morning, but in fact it secretly turned into a stormy meeting!
Can County Magistrate Gao not understand this?
In the eyes of County Magistrate Gao, several people in the secretarial department are not good (except, of course, the current secretary general), as is Xiao Sun, the secretary of the comprehensive department who often took him to the countryside. Xiao Chen is okay, but these people
Sometimes his status is not as good as that of the driver. What he just told Prosecutor Cheng was related to this. He had mentioned to the other party before that he would find a suitable pen holder for himself.
In the eyes of County Magistrate Gao, of course Xiao Zixin is absolutely qualified, but just one Xiao Zixin is definitely not enough. He is not afraid of having too few close friends, just in case.
How could Xiao Zixin not understand his thoughts? Da Lanzi familiarly found the cigarette packaging thread and tugged it, wrapped the cellophane around it, opened it, took out a box, gave Magistrate Gao one and lit it for him
, he sat down and gave Xiao Zixin and Director Zhang a puff, and the lighter burst out with a blue flame and ignited it for himself. Then, Director Zhang and Xiao Zixin went out to see if the guests had arrived.
Through the smoke, Dalanzi said tentatively: "County Magistrate Gao, I see you are not very happy this morning. What's going on? You also know that I have nothing to offer in the county, but I just run errands with you.
I'm okay with doing some small things that I can do. Seeing you unhappy makes me feel uncomfortable. If it's official business, forget it. I don't dare to get involved casually, but I don't think it has anything to do with official business. If you are Secretary Wang,
If you have any personal matters, trust me and tell me, maybe I can handle it."
At this time, someone knocked lightly on the door, and then the door opened. Director Zhang and the guests Xiao Zixin were picking up outside arrived, and the manager came in with a smile.
County Magistrate Gao frowned slightly and signaled Da Lanzi not to talk nonsense. When everyone saw that the guests had arrived, they were friends of Magistrate Gao from the city. For a moment, they quickly stood up to give way, and Magistrate Gao also stood up to shake hands.
"Serve."
After talking and chatting for a while, Xiao Zixin saw that it was almost done, looked at County Magistrate Gao and said to the manager.
The food is here.
Two or three waitresses with smiles on their faces gently placed the dishes on the large rotating table one by one. The dishes were immediately steaming and fragrant. The general manager was really good at it. He said with a smile: "County Magistrate Gao, we also
I don’t have much preparation. I don’t know if it is delicious? I don’t know if your guests will like it? Haha.” County Magistrate Gao took a look and saw that among the light food, there were some seafood products that he and his friends liked.
"How's it going, everyone?" he asked his friends, and the two friends laughed, "Just listen to the leader, that's right!"
Well, County Magistrate Gao was very satisfied, but what he said was: "I said it should be lighter, just have a bite, and there will be a meeting at night. This is too much! I won't do it next time."
"Haha, okay, okay, I remember it." He then asked tentatively: "County Magistrate Gao, are you drinking?"
"County Magistrate Gao, what kind of wine do you want to drink? I'll get it for you."
"No more drinking, thank you girl." County Magistrate Gao smiled happily. Xiao Zixin could see that only at this moment did County Magistrate Gao, who had been depressed all day, really become happy, and also surprised everyone and the waitress who asked him.
Yimo: "However, I won't drink. These two guests want to drink. They will keep me company...hehe, what are you drinking and talking?"
After ordering wine and joking, the general manager smiled broadly and said: "County Magistrate Gao is very polite. All of these girls are good. You can use them slowly. I have something else to do. I'll come back later. If you need anything, ask them to call me...
"
"Okay, hurry up and get going. It's okay, so don't come over."
The general manager nodded repeatedly and left: "Yes, okay, okay, I understand."
"Well, County Magistrate Gao, please feel free to use it. We are right at the door. If you need anything, call me."
"Okay, you go."
The little waitress smiled and exited gently.
Confidants, friends, comrades... Only when County Magistrate Gao was with these people, Xiao Zixin felt that he was completely relaxed, as if he was not on guard at all. He was busy at work all day long with these people laughing and chattering.
The laughter and laughter also disappeared...
In officialdom, there are many changes, but the next step is still unclear, and we can only slowly wait for them to arrive.
