drinking with a game of rock-paper-scissors. 。At least 19 leaders were willing to accompany the drinking, which is more than the total number of people in Jiangzhong (17). If each person toasted three...Ye Fengnian was just finding a way to step down. 。First, Sima Yue made trouble by forcing Xiao Zheng to drink. Then she called Xiao Jingyu, but Xiao Jingyu didn't ask her husband Xiao Zheng to drink. Whether or not he drinks is a small matter, but the face of the provincial governor is not a trivial matter. 。

When the Sichuan officials saw this, it seemed like he, as governor of the province, had no authority in Jiangzhong. 。As for Xiao Zheng's claim of not drinking to fight poverty, everyone saw it as an excuse! So Ye Fengnian simply adopted a tolerant attitude, admiring Xiao Zheng's commitment and showing everyone his magnanimity by letting him get away with it. 。This way, he found a way down the steps while also establishing an image of broad-mindedness!

As for what Ye Fengnian was actually thinking, it no longer matters. 。In the workplace, everyone looks at the surface and cares about appearances. Deep down, everyone knows what's really going on, but no one has the time or energy to dig deeper unless it affects their own interests!

In fact, after what just happened, Ye Fengnian not only took issue with Xiao Zheng, remembering him; now he can't control him, but if one day he could, he definitely wouldn't like him. Ye Fengnian also developed an opinion of Xiao Jingyu—this woman, relying on Lu Zhinxing's protection and the Xiao family's background, is really getting carried away. 。But the world changes quickly, Lu Zai might leave one day, and the Xiao family is already in decline, its influence waning. Recently, the provincial government is going to adjust cadres. If it involves Xiao Jingyu, he will definitely disagree!

When **Ding Shengjian**, the secretary of the Provincial Committee, returned to the private room, Yuan Lueruo, the governor of Shuchuan Province, also followed Ding Shengjian to Liu Shisen's private room for a toast. 。Liu Shisen and others also smiled and accepted the toast, but Liu Shisen did not return it. He said: "Governor Yuan, thank you." 。We've had quite a few drinks already, and I'm not very familiar with people over there, so I won't go. Cheers to you here. 。Liu Shisen raised his wine cup and, along with the others, returned a toast to Yuan Luyao. 。Yuan Luyao smiled and said, “I understand, I understand.” 。Yuan Luyao had already learned about Liu Shisen's background from Ding Shengjian. Unwilling to be disrespectful, and knowing that the other people in his private room held no significance for Liu Shisen, he decided to let Liu Shisen choose himself. 。After Lü Yáo and the others left, Liu Shisen and his companions had also had enough to drink. He turned to Ding Shengjian and said, “Minister Ding, tomorrow we’ll need you to arrange a car for us. We especially want to go to Chuan County and see if there are any typical cases that can be excavated.” 。"This time, Liu Shisen came to Shu under the pretext of promoting advanced models of earthquake relief and post-disaster reconstruction. This is certainly something that needs to be done. In addition, the focus is **on Ma Han Shan's work in Shu.**" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!。Ding Shengjian immediately replied, "No problem, we will definitely arrange it." 。"Liu Shisen raised his wine cup: "Please, Minister Ding!" Ding Shengjian quickly followed suit with a toast." 。Everyone finished the dinner, and the deputy minister asked if they wanted to arrange for late-night snacks and other activities. He said that Sichuan's nightlife was very rich, with Sichuanese people who loved life and fun. Going sightseeing at night, eating late-night snacks, and going to nightclubs were the three must-dos in their nightlife. New ways of playing also emerged endlessly, such as night sports, nighttime beauty treatments, and bookstores open at night. He hoped that Liu Shisen and his party could experience it. 。This exciting night event sounds pretty appealing. Liu Shisen loves to have fun, and Xiao Zheng guessed he would most likely agree. 。But this time, Liu Shisen unexpectedly said: "Forget it, since Comrade Xiao Zheng doesn't drink today, there's no point. Let's talk about it next time." 。Besides, I still have a long run tomorrow, so maybe I should get some rest early. 。Then, everyone went back to their rooms. 。Xiao Zheng arrived at the room, there wasn't much going on that evening, he just wanted to give Xiao Jingyu a call. 。Today is Xiao Jingyu's first day back to normal work, wondering if everything went well This is what Xiao Zheng cares about most. 。Just now, in Governor Ye's private room, Xiao Jingyu rejected Sima Yue's request over the phone and supported Xiao Zheng. She didn't care whether she left a bad impression on Governor Ye, completely unconditionally indulged Xiao Zheng's decision. 。At this moment, Xiao Zheng longed to hear his wife's voice so much. 。He then told the liaison officer Ren Yongle to go back and rest, and he picked up his phone to call Xiao Jingyu. 。It's not too late yet, it's three minutes to nine. 。Ren Yongle made a cup of hot water for Xiao Zheng and drew back the curtains before going away. 。Xiao Zheng sat down at the writing desk by the floor-to-ceiling window in his room. The chair could swivel, and the night view outside came into view. The Jiuyan Corridor Bridge was enchanting over the river, with dazzling lights, illusory and dreamlike. In the distance, one could see rows of skyscrapers and patches of lights, like a city that never sleeps. 。The city under the lights had a different flavor than it did during the day. 。However, Xiao Zheng was still more concerned about his wife, Xiao Jingyu. When he called her, Xiao Zheng asked, "Jingyu, are you still awake" Xiao Jingyu replied, "Not yet, Xiao Yuan just finished drinking milk and went to sleep." 。“Xiao Zheng imagined his son’s chubby and innocent sleeping face, a wave of paternal love surged in his heart: “I really want to be by your side and pinch the little guy’s cheek” 。"Oh, no we can't " 。"Xiao Jingyu said, 'Little kids' faces are so cute that they make people drool. Your dad knows this, but you don't. Next time you come back, don't pinch their cheeks.'" 。“It can be seen that raising children is still quite a delicate matter. But now that I am far away, I cannot be with my child and wife, and I feel guilty: “I will definitely remember...” 。 。Jingyu, I've made you work hard. I really want to end the poverty alleviation as soon as possible and return to your side. 。。"Xiao Jingyu lacked paternal love since she was a child, and later her mother passed away, which had a great impact on her." 。Xiao Zheng also doesn't want his children to feel a lack of paternal love. 。He said, "I am trying to get back to you as soon as possible." 。"You have to work hard, but you shouldn't worry too much." 。I believe that when the time is right, things will naturally fall into place. The separation we are experiencing now is for a better reunion in the future. 。"Xiao Jingyu's words soothed Xiao Zheng's heart, and he changed the subject: "How do you feel on your first day at work Is everything alright"

Xiao Jingyu said: "I attended the standing committee as soon as I started work today, but everything is fine." 。On the very first day after her confinement period ended, Xiao Jingyu went to work. 。Xiao Yuan slept early and woke up early. He woke up before six o'clock in the morning. Xiao Jingyu fed him milk, then handed him over to his grandparents. Xiao Jingyu washed up and dressed, putting on the outfit that Li Haiyan had helped organize yesterday. After breakfast, accompanied by Li Haiyan, he went out. 。At the door, she did not forget to tell Fei Qingmei: "Mom, if anything happens, just call me. If I don't answer, call Haiyan." 。“With Xiao Yuan, this little guy, around now, it’s definitely different from when I was all by myself before. I always have to say goodbye properly before leaving.” 。

"Jìngyǔ a, you just rest assured. " 。“You mustn't forget, Xiao Zheng was brought up by me when he was little. We'll make sure Xiao Yuan has enough to eat and drink, gets enough sleep, and even takes him out to sunbathe.” 。Xiao Jingyu thought, once Xiao Rongrong had exiled herself from the family for Xiao Zheng, Xiao Zheng was raised by this couple when he was a child, they had some experience, and now there is a professional nanny arranged by the family. Xiao Jingyu felt much more at ease and smiled: "Okay, Dad, I'm relieved" 。Less than nine o'clock in the morning, the Standing Committee of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee was about to convene. Staff members had arrived early and made preparations for the meeting. The standing committee members also arrived one by one. 。Some members of the standing committee didn't know the situation. It was unexpected to see a nameplate reading "Xiao Jingyu" placed on the first seat from north to south on the right side. 。

"Secretary Xiao, aren't you on maternity leave" "Today is the standing committee meeting, we're discussing cadres, this meeting is important, Secretary Xiao might be here to attend!""So, just finish the meeting and go back" "I heard that once Secretary Xiao completes her maternity leave, she will return to normal work."

"Won't she be too dedicated I know a female deputy director, she took maternity leave and rest for the whole year!" "She's just a deputy director. Can she compare to Secretary Xiao Secretary Xiao must prioritize his career!""As women, in my opinion, family should always come first…"

Several standing committee members started making jokes casually since the main leaders of the municipal Party Committee and government, along with Xiao Jingyu, hadn't arrived yet. 。At this time, Jiang Pengpeng, the Party Secretary of the Municipal Committee, came in. His liaison officer placed a notebook and a teacup on his designated spot and then left. 。Jiang Pengpeng smiled at everyone and said, "What are you guys talking about It seems quite lively." 。“The former Standing Committee member who preceded this one chuckled and said, “Well, the Organization Minister is here, he must know the situation.” 。"We see Secretary Xiao's nameplate. Is Secretary Xiao back to normal work today, or is he just here for a meeting and will continue his maternity leave afterwards"

Jiang Pengpeng laughed: "Of course, it's back to normal work! Secretary Xiao said at the beginning that he would resume work after finishing his maternity leave." 。"See, I told you so, right Secretary Xiao is really work-oriented!" one Standing Committee member said. "You guess, has Secretary Xiao gained weight after giving birth Is she a bit plumper" Another Standing Committee member joked, "That's definitely the case! Women before and after childbirth are completely different!" "You mean 'pregnancy makes you silly for three years'!""I didn't mean that at all," that Standing Committee member immediately defended. "Anyone who dares to say Secretary Xiao is 'pregnancy-induced silly' better watch out, or Secretary Xiao will find them..." 。"Haha, I don't dare either…"

"Being able to hear everyone's 'idle chatter' again is really great." 。A pleasant voice rang at the door, “Today, work has finally resumed.” 。Hello everyoneembered that several years ago, when she was still the chairperson of the Women's Federation, she and Xiao Zheng went to Baishui Village for work. Back then, the conditions were tough. She would sit o...
