The weather in the provincial capital was hot, but Ma Buping was dressed neatly.
There was rice paper on the table. Ma Buping held the brush tightly and ran the tip of the pen over the rice paper. "In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Teng Zijing was relegated to Baling County. The next year..."
Ma Buping's calligraphy has a sense of leaping, which can be said to be very wild in Lihe dialect, with a momentum that is about to break through the sky, and no one can stop it, as if the tip of the pen is about to fly out at the next moment.
Chen Jing did not want to disturb Ma Buping's calligraphy practice, so he watched with great interest.
"The Story of Yueyang Tower" is not short in length, and Ma Buping wrote it quickly. It not only tested his calligraphy, but also his memory.
He continued to write more than a hundred words, and when he reached "The rain is falling", he paused for a moment, and then "Tiger roars and the ape crows" he paused again. He continued to the next paragraph "To Ruochun and Jingming" and his speed slowed down obviously.
When he wrote "Jinlin Swimming", his pen suddenly stopped!
Ma Buping was sweating profusely, but this piece of writing was considered useless at this point. There was something wrong with the organization of the whole article. A single word looked interesting, but the whole article looked obviously messy.
"Hey!" Ma Buping put down his pen and sighed. When he looked up and saw Chen Jing, he couldn't help but let out a sigh. Chen Jing quickly took the opportunity to say:
"Hello, County Magistrate Ma, I heard that you entered Chucheng, so I came to visit you as soon as possible! My sister got married recently, and I asked for leave and came back!"
"Oh, haha!" Ma Buping smiled cheerfully, then suddenly stopped smiling and said to Wen Jianguo who was standing aside: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that Chen Jing was coming? If I knew he was coming, I wouldn't have done anything else!"
Wen Jianguo was a little confused, but Chen Jing smiled and said: "County Magistrate Ma is being humble. This calligraphy of yours is quite valuable. Your indomitable momentum is clearly reflected in this calligraphy!"
"
Ma Buping glanced at Chen Jing's face, snorted, and said, "You do know how to talk, but from what you said, it sounds like I can only act recklessly, and I won't be able to write anymore!"
Chen Jing waved his hands hurriedly and said, "I don't mean that, I don't mean that!" He took out a bag of wedding candies from behind and said, "Ma County, this bag of wedding candies can be considered a gift, isn't it too shabby?"
"Not shabby, not shabby!" Ma Buping's expression softened a bit. He took the wedding candy, opened it, peeled off a candy and put it in his mouth: "Well, not bad, not bad, very sweet! What, the wedding date is set?"
Chen Jing nodded: "At the end of this week, my elder brother will be arrested. If I hadn't come to see you today, I might not have let me go!"
Wen Jianguo gently placed the tea cup in front of Chen Jing, and Chen Jing nodded to him.
Wen Jianguo said: "County Magistrate, you haven't been out all day, so your body can't bear it. Director Chen is here today. Can we make a more generous arrangement in the evening?"
Ma Bu smiled faintly and looked at Chen Jing: "Do you know the purpose of my visit this time?"
Chen Jing was stunned and shook his head subconsciously: "I don't know whether Director Liang told me the news about you in the provincial capital!"
Ma Buping laughed and said: "I don't know, I don't know if I'm upset! Let me tell you, I went to the provincial capital this time with the intention of sinking the boat. I heard that you are good at pinching and calculating. Just give it to me."
Do the math?”
Chen Jing was stunned on the spot. Most people didn't know about Chen Jing's study. Few people knew about Chen Jing's intensive reading of numerology books. How did County Magistrate Ma know?
When he entered the study just now, Chen Jing could see clearly that the layout of the room was vaguely a Feng Shui bureau. His eyes moved and he caught a glimpse of the crystal ball in the window. He patted his head and understood that Mabu Pingyuan also had this hobby.
This made Chen Jing a little bit dumbfounded. His reading of numerology works does not mean that he believes in them. He looks at problems dialectically, so how can he stick to numerology theory?
He was thinking carefully in his head and was about to speak when he caught sight of Ma Buping's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He was moved in his heart and said:
"Fate is not trustworthy! I have read many good books, but I read them while standing outside, not inside. The success or failure of the county magistrate's trip depends on your specific operations and efforts. Those words of fate
, totally nonsense!”
Ma Buping's eyes were fixed on Chen Jing, and Chen Jing's heart was pounding. He didn't know if what he said had offended the other party's taboos.
After a long time, Ma Buping stood up and laughed loudly and said: "You kid, you are not a bookworm!" He pointed at Wen Jianguo and said: "Old Wen, did you hear that? Our party cadres are doing this every day.
If you delve into that set of things, can you achieve anything?
When I was in Lihe, you called me every day, telling me that my trip would be unfavorable and telling me not to come over. I just didn’t believe this evil, so I came over!
Yesterday you gave me a prediction, saying that I would have an immediate turn for the better, but you were just talking nonsense again, right?..."
Ma Buping got angry at Wen Jianguo. Wen Jianguo lowered his head and said nothing, his face turned red.
Chen Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he hadn't been hasty just now, otherwise he might have been criticized at this time.
How can Ma Buping be the head of a county? When he was in Lihe, Chen Jing concluded that Ma Buping was facing an unprecedented crisis, and he must be in a very low mood at this time.
But now, Ma Buping was right in front of him. County Magistrate Ma was in high spirits and his voice was as loud as a bell. How could he look at all depressed?
Chen Jing secretly laughed at his own shallowness. Ma Buping was a cadre born and raised in Lihe. He went from a cow herder to the head of a county today. His experience can be regarded as a legend. A person who has gone through such a journey.
, I don’t know how many times I have experienced strong winds and waves, how can I succumb and collapse so easily?
I don't know why, just before, Chen Jing didn't have any confidence in his heart, but at this moment, he suddenly had confidence in Ma Buping!
This kind of confidence comes without any warning, but it is extremely strong. It seems that Ma Buping's words and deeds can give people strong confidence. This is amazing!
…
When Chen Jing arrived at the Lido Hotel, boy, he was shocked!
Chen Jing asked Fan Jiang to use his connections to find a few people from Lihe who were famous in Chucheng, and give them a chance to get close contact with Lihe's parents.
He never expected that Fan Jiang would find dozens of people for him at once.
Seeing that a small conference room in the hotel was packed, Chen Jingtou was a little confused.
But when he thought about it again, he felt relieved! Lihe people outside basically started everything from scratch. People who come from the grassroots, even if they have money, are still grassroots. In the eyes of others, they are nouveau riche.
If the people of Lihe want to make political demands in the provincial capital, that is basically nonsense and impossible.
And Lihe County Magistrate comes to the provincial capital, which is a good opportunity for them! To put it more tackily, treat the Magistrate to a meal, get to know each other, and then return to Lihe to brag among the folks in the countryside, so keep it
It's a bunch of adoring looks.
To put it more pragmatically, although these people are in Chucheng, their inextricable connections are still in Lihe. For them, after earning money, they will have face when they go back. But they can get along with their parents in the county.
If Ma Pingchuan doesn't say anything about what he will do in Lihe in the future, it will be a matter of honor to him.
Chen Jing was dressed very formally today, with a straight suit and tight lips. He looked mature and had a vague aura that made others feel distant.
He shook hands with the people in the small conference room one by one, exchanged greetings, took their business cards, and took down their names. These usually arrogant and arrogant corporate CEOs were now smiling. Fan Jiang introduced Chen Jing as Director Chen.
As for what bureau director he is, he is vague.
Director Chen is also the person next to the county magistrate. He will definitely be a powerful figure in Lihe politics in the future. If we don't take the opportunity to build some connections now, then when will we wait?
While shaking hands with these people, Chen Jing generally considered the details of these people. Lihe is a poor county, and Chen Jing really underestimated the wisdom of the people in Lihe. In this room, all of the people were worth millions or even
There are people with a net worth of tens of millions or more, and a few of them are CEOs of well-known companies in Chucheng.
Chen Jing greeted everyone, then walked up to the front desk, clapped his hands and said: "I am very happy to see so many fellow villagers from Lihe in Chucheng today, the elites of Lihe! Mayor Ma, you must be enthusiastic
He was very happy to entertain him. He came and asked me to meet and chat with you first. Here, on behalf of County Magistrate Ma, I would like to thank you all!"
With warm applause and smiles on everyone's faces, Chen Jing bowed to them.
Chen Jing didn't say much. After saying these words, he stopped adding any unnecessary extravagance. At this time, Fan Jiang pulled over a wealthy middle-aged man in his fifties. Chen Jing stretched out his hand and said, "Director Hong!" Chen Jing had just seen.
This person is none other than Hong Liang, the chairman of the Lido Hotel Group, who is a well-known figure throughout Chucheng.
The middle-aged man also stretched out his hand and said: "Director Chen has a good memory..." Fan Jiang on the side said: "Director Hong is the president of your hometown association, you have something to tell him!"
Chen Jing nodded with a smile, and said to Hong Liang with some embarrassment: "Director Hong, the enthusiasm of the fellow villagers is indeed touching, but County Magistrate Ma is a low-key person, and we..."
He pointed at all of them, Hong Liang nodded understandingly, and said: "I understand, Director Chen, how many people do you think are suitable?"
Chen Jing pondered for a while and said for a while: "There can't be more than six people. It's mainly a representative thing! Ma County came here mainly to do other things. It's too extravagant!"
"Okay, I know!" Hong Dian nodded. Not only did he not show any disappointment, his eyes looked even more excited.
Fan Jiang gave Chen Jing a thumbs up from behind. Chen Jing frowned and said, "Well, Director Hong, I want to meet these six people alone. Do you think that's okay?"
"Okay, I'll arrange everything. Let's go to the VIP room!" Hong Liang said enthusiastically. He personally led the way, followed closely by Chen Jing and Fan Jiang. Although Chen Jing looked steady and calm, Fan Jiang was a little nervous.
