Chapter 500: New Year's Eve

Seeing Ye Ming's surprised look, Shen Youbin smiled a little proudly, pulled him aside, and asked quietly: "Xiao Ye, how do you feel about the decoration of this house? Are you still satisfied."

It turned out that in order to decorate Ye Ming's house before Secretary Lu arrived, Shen Youbin appointed the director of the county party committee office to sit in Donggang Village and mobilized three construction teams, divided into exterior wall group, interior wall group, ground group, and cleaning group, working overtime day and night. It took only five days to renovate the house.

Ye Ming couldn't help but admire Shen Youbin's efficiency in doing things at this time, and nodded and said, "Secretary Chen, from the outside, the decoration is very good: high-end and elegant, beautiful without showing luxury, but I just don't know what's going on inside."

Shen Youbin said confidently: "The inside is more beautiful than the outside, and all the furniture is the latest. I just went in and looked at it. It was arranged very neatly and did not have any new decoration smell. I repeatedly told the decoration team about this. If there is a pungent smell during decoration, the decoration will be in vain and will be counterproductive."

Next, Xu Lizhong, Wei Zhong, Shen Youbin and relevant security personnel from Xinleng County Public Security Bureau held a short meeting in Ye Ming’s main hall to make arrangements for the security work during Secretary Lu’s inspection.

Although Ye Ming did not participate in security work, because Secretary Lu lived in his home, and Wei Zhong heard from Xu Lizhong that Ye Ming had super good skills, so he took the initiative to invite Ye Ming to attend the security work consultation meeting.

At the meeting, Wei Zhong informed everyone: Secretary Lu set off from the provincial party committee at 2 noon on New Year's Eve and arrived in Donggang Village at about 5 o'clock. He was having New Year's Eve dinner with the villagers in the village. On the first day of the New Year, Secretary Lu would visit several farmers in Donggang Village and watch local dragon dances and "Jumping the Officer" and other folk performances. After lunch, he left Donggang Village and went to a poor village in another city for inspection.

During this inspection, it was the Spring Festival, there were not many people accompanying him, only Director Xu Lizhong, Secretary Guo Zhijun, several cadres of the Security Department, and several reporters from the Provincial TV station and the Provincial Newspaper. As for the local accompanying staff, they had to wait until Secretary Lu arrived in Donggang Village before making a decision based on the situation...

At the meeting, Tao Yong made a statement on behalf of Xinleng County Public Security Bureau, saying that the county public security bureau will attach great importance to the security work of Secretary Lu's inspection this time, and will draw police officers such as political workers, legal system, public security, criminal investigation, traffic police, command center, national security, police support room, police station, etc., and divide them into eleven security groups. Each department and each group performs its duties, coordinate and cooperate, and cooperate tacitly to implement various work tasks and measures to ensure the absolute safety of Secretary Lu's inspection and inspection activities and the safe and smooth roads, and ensure the successful completion of the security and protection activities.

The next morning, Qing Tao, Secretary of the K-City Municipal Party Committee, led the director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, the Minister of the Propaganda Department, and the Secretary of the Xinleng County Party Committee Shen Youbin and others to come to Donggang Village in a magnificent manner to arrange the preparations for receiving Secretary Lu's inspection.

Secretary Qing took everyone around Donggang Village, learned in detail about the situation of several poor families, and reminded these families: Secretary Lu is likely to come to their home for New Year’s Eve dinner. At that time, everyone must be careful when speaking and don’t always complain. If you have any difficulties, you can directly ask the county party committee and government to solve the problem, and try to make specific difficulties and requirements to Secretary Lu, so as not to affect Secretary Lu’s mood during the New Year…

Next, Secretary Qing also held a meeting at Wantou Town Middle School and made several decisions: First, the Civil Affairs Bureau of K City allocated money to each household in Donggang Village as a cap, and each person was given a 200 yuan New Year's greeting money; Second, several guest rooms were arranged at Wantou Town Middle School to accommodate the entourage and reporters brought by Secretary Lu; Third, the Civil Affairs Bureau of Xinleng County paid money to each household in Donggang Village with a 5,000-sounding firecracker, and set off on the morning of the first year of the junior high school, striving to make the atmosphere of the New Year stronger...

That night, Ye Ming slept in his newly renovated house, waiting for Secretary Lu to welcome the next day.

At about nine o'clock, he received a call from Lu Nianzi. On the phone, Lu Nianzi first asked about his recent situation, and then regretfully told him: Although she, Zhang Linjiang and Zhang Yan had already arrived in Zinan City, because there was something happening in her hometown, she could not live in the new cold.

With this, Zhang Yan also called him and wished him a happy New Year in advance, and said that she could not come to Xinleng this time. She felt very regretful and hoped to have a chance to see him next time.

Of course, Ye Ming could not have thought that Lu Nianzi and the others could not come to Xinleng. In fact, it was not that there was anything, but that Secretary Lu firmly opposed their family coming. There were two reasons: First, he went to Donggang Village as the secretary of the provincial party committee. If his daughter and son-in-law also followed him to celebrate the New Year, he would leave a message to others. Second, and the most important point, Secretary Lu was afraid that Lu Nianzi would reveal any flaws when dating Ye Ming and exposed their sibling relationship, which would be very difficult to deal with...

At around 5 p.m. on New Year's Eve, Secretary Lu, with Qing Tao, Xu Lizhong, Guo Zhijun, Shen Youbin and other accompanying staff, arrived at Donggang Village on time.

As soon as he arrived in the village, Secretary Lu didn't have time to take a break, so he went to several particularly difficult families he learned last time to give condolences and gave condolences. After the condolences, he had the New Year's Eve dinner in the last family. At about seven o'clock, he came to Ye Ming's house.

Before entering the house, he took advantage of the hazy skylight to look carefully at the newly renovated house, with a more satisfied look on his face, and turned to Shen Youbin who was following him and said, "Secretary Shen, please trouble your county. In fact, I haven't been here for many times. You haven't had such a big fight. However, the decoration looks quite generous and shouldn't be expensive, right?"

Shen Youbin hurriedly smiled and said, "Secretary Lu, this decoration is very simple and cheap. It's just that a little porcelain board and tiles were pasted and painted a little, so it won't cost a lot."

Secretary Lu nodded and walked into the room. He saw a steaming New Year's Eve dinner on the table. Ye Ming was standing there with the girl from the local tax bureau he had seen last time, looking at him a little crampedly.

It turned out that Ye Ming considered that Secretary Lu liked to eat the food made by Chen Yi, and Chen Yi wanted to celebrate the New Year with him, so he called her over and found an excuse to invite her to come and cook for Secretary Lu so that others would not suspect him.

Secretary Lu was worried that Ye Ming would see some flaws, and Chen Yi was present, so he did not show too much enthusiasm this time. After drinking a few glasses of wine with Ye Ming, he began to talk to Qingtao, Shen Youbin and others, and talked about not going to bed until one o'clock in the morning.

The next day, Secretary Lu left Donggang Village after lunch.
