pressure, Jiang Pengpeng realized the seriousness of the matter. He decided to take a step back and it was more worthwhile, so despite being very reluctant in his heart, he still said to Xiao Zheng, "...Xiao Jingyu's worry in her heart grew deeper and deeper. She asked Li Haiyan to ask Xiao Zheng when he was free, hoping the two could meet. 。Xiao Zheng said that he would go to Jingzhou City tonight. 。Xiao Zheng had naturally already heard about the changes in the Municipal Committee Organization Department, and his heart couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. 。The adjustment of leading cadres is usually commonplace, but Liu Qingwei, the head of the Organization Department, held a different kind of interaction and care for Xiao Zheng. 。At first, Chen Hong's transfer was facilitated by Liu Qingwei, who directly helped her get a position in the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department. 。Later, with his own promotion, Liu Qingwei played a crucial and undeniable role. 。Xiao Zheng also vaguely felt that during this period, his strong resistance to "firecrackers" in An County was largely due to the support of the head of the Liu Department. Without his help, he would have been reorganized. 。He wasn't particularly close with Liu Buzhang, but he held him in high regard. Liu Buzhang also had faith in him; the two men understood each other deeply. 。But now that Liu Buchang is gone, the situation in Jiangzhong will inevitably undergo major changes again. Where I go from here has become a mystery. 。On the way from An County to Jingzhou City, Xiao Zheng suddenly received a call from Liu Qingwei: “Comrade Xiao Zheng, where are you” Xiao Zheng was pleasantly surprised: “Minister Liu, hello, I am on my way to Jingzhou.” 。"Liu Qingwei's voice was tinged with delight: 'Really Then it's perfect, I'll treat you to a meal tonight' Xiao Zheng hurriedly said: 'How can that be I should treat Bureau Chief Liu.'" 。"Liu Qingwei smiled and said, 'I can still use one chance to let the organization department pay for it. Let me treat you.'" 。"I'm going to the provincial capital, you know that, right"

Xiao Zheng said: "I already know, this afternoon Mayor Xiao called me and told me about the situation, and asked me to go to her office" 。"I know that too," Liu Qingwei said: 。I called her just now, and she said she made an appointment with you. 。Don't you think so We three could have dinner together. 。Xiao Zheng said: "I also wanted to find an opportunity to see off Liu Buzhang." 。But, I heard you went to the provincial capital for talks, so I didn't call. 。"Why are you back today" Liu Qingwei said: "I need to tidy up my work. With the new department head arriving in the next two days, I'll finish the handover and then go to the province." 。"That's wonderful," Xiao Zheng said, "I can still listen to Liu Buzhang's guidance today." 。"Liu Qingwei said: "Guidance is not the case, let's chat together later." 。Xiao Zheng said: "Looking forward to" 。Then, I don't need to go to Mayor Xiao's side"

The Director of the Willow Department said: "No need to go." 。Go straight to Renfu, room number nine. 。"Yes, it'll be there in half an hour," 。“By the way,” Liu said, “Should I invite Chen Hong too” Xiao Zheng was taken aback and said, “Liu, I’m sorry, Chen Hong and I have already broken up.” 。As for this matter, Xiao Zheng did not specifically report it to Liu Buzhang because he felt that there was no need to say more about this private affair. 。Liubu chuckled and said, "I was just joking with you. I didn't mean to call Chen Hong over." 。"Only then did Xiao Zheng let out a sigh of relief: 'Thank you, Department Head Liu, for understanding.'" 。"Liu Buchang said: "Come quickly, I'm waiting for you in the private room." 。"Xiao Zheng said: "Good" 。After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zheng wanted to call Xiao Jingyu and ask if he really didn't need to go there and could just go straight to Renfu But then he thought, since the director of the willow department had called him, it was settled. There was no need to make another trip. 。Xiao Zheng said to Xiao Zhong again: "The head of the willow department is waiting for me at Darenfu. Please hurry as much as possible, but please don't break any traffic laws." 。Xiao Zhong nodded in the rearview mirror: “Okay, County Magistrate Xiao.” 。After saying that, Xiao Zheng suddenly felt a pushing sensation, and the engine speed obviously increased. 。Xiao Zhong's driving skills were still first-rate, and he arrived at Daren Mansion in about twenty minutes. 。It's actually still early, not even close to quitting time. 。Darin Mansion is located on Phoenix Mountain, with a panoramic view that overlooks the surrounding landscape. It is surrounded by lush greenery, with many large trees estimated to be over a hundred years old. Their thick canopy creates a shaded haven over Darin Mansion's ancient, elegant buildings in a muted blue-gray hue. 。Xiao Zheng walked through the courtyard of Da Renfu and arrived at the most secluded Box No. 9. 。Ming and Qing style decoration, a solid wood round table in the middle, a vase with a bunch of bright green plants, full of vitality, makes people feel warm and refreshed as soon as they step in from the autumn wind. 。

In the private room, there were only Liu Buchang and his personal secretary Cheng Ye. 。 。Cheng Ye did not dare to sit on an equal footing with Liu Buchang, so he moved a chair and sat beside Liu Buchang, seemingly accompanying him or perhaps chatting about something. 。Upon seeing Xiao Zheng enter, Cheng Ye hurriedly stood up from his chair: "County Magistrate Xiao is here Please, take a seat." 。The female waitress also followed in, carrying a cup of tea and trailing behind Xiao Zheng. 。Xiao Zheng saw that Cheng Ye didn't sit with the Head of the Willow Department, and he also wanted to move a chair over from the side and sit opposite the Head of the Willow Department. 。Cai Liu, the head of the department, patted the sofa beside him and said, "Xiao Xianchang, come sit here." 。Since Lord Liu invited me, it means he has some regard for me, Xiao Zheng wouldn't refuse and said: "Thank you, Lord Liu." 。Then, he sat down beside Liu Buzhang. 。Cheng Ye took the teacup from the waiter's hand and carefully placed it in front of Xiao Zheng: "County magistrate Xiao, please have some tea." 。Xiao Zheng glanced at Cheng Ye, seeing that he was probably a couple of years younger than himself. He had fair skin and a slender figure, but wasn't the type to be considered effeminate; he was quite handsome. 。He is not overly enthusiastic when interacting with others, but he is very thoughtful. It's no wonder he has served under the leader for many years. 。。Today's close contact, the impression is pretty good. 。Xiao Zheng glanced at the tea water and said, "Thank you" 。Then Cheng Ye said, “Director Liu, County Magistrate Xiao, you two chat slowly.” 。The mayor should be here soon, I'll go and meet him downstairs. 。“Liu Bu, Chang Dao: Good ” 。Cheng Ye walked outside and gave the female waitress a glance. The waitress understood and followed him out. 。Cheng Ye told the waiter, "Don't let strangers disturb us." 。The waiter agreed. 。Cheng Ye only then walked out. 。Liu Buzhang took a long sip of tea and smiled, "When did you and Chen Hong break up" Xiao Zheng's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect Liu Buzhang to bring this up right away. He felt awkward inside: "Liu Buzhang, it's been several months since I broke up with Chen Hong." 。I didn't come here to specifically report this matter, first because it's a personal trifle and I wouldn't dare to bother you with such a small thing; second, because at the time Chen Hong was able to enter the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, it was due to your help. 。I never expected to break up with Chen Hong, but I'm too embarrassed to report it to Liu Buchang. 。"You're overthinking this," Liu Qingwei laughed. 。

Sometimes, people's feelings cannot be forced; otherwise, it will be a torment for both parties.

It's normal to break up even if you haven't gotten married yet. 。I can understand that. 。Xiao Zheng nodded: "I thought too much." 。"Actually, I knew about it a long time ago," 。But you didn't tell me, so I just pretended not to know. 。"Xiao Zheng was startled again, he didn't expect that Liu Buzhang also knew about it early on! "It must have been Chen Hong who reported to you" Liu Qingwei shook his head: "Chen Hong has never told me anything about this..." 。One time, I saw Chen Hong and Secretary Tan eating out together. The next day, I asked Chen Hong, "How are you two doing lately" She said they were fine. 。“Did Liubu Chang also see Chen Hong and Secretary Tan go out to eat together That’s why he asked Chen Hong, right” 。Ke Chenhong would naturally not admit that they had broken up, because Chenhong is still thinking about getting back together with him to this day. 。Then Liu [last name] continued, "Later I asked Xiao [last name], the mayor, and she said that you and Chen Hong had broken up." 。I originally thought highly of you two. You, at such a young age, are already the Standing Deputy County Magistrate. Chen Hong is developing well in our department. After following the proper channels, she'll become a Deputy Minister and be sent out to serve as a正局級 (Bureau-level) leader. Her path is very smooth and wide open. 。However, over the past two years, I feel that Chen Hong wants more than just these. 。Xiao Zheng felt that Liu Buzhang was very accurate when looking at people. 。Chen Hong wanted far more than these. Chen Hong's desires for money and power were very strong, a deep yearning within her. She could even put love aside first. Her goal wasn't to be an upright official 。But Xiao Zheng also didn't want to continue down the path Liu Buchang was suggesting, because he didn't want to speak ill of Chen Hong in front of Liu Buchang. 。Xiao Zheng said: "Liu Buzhang, although Chen Hong and I have broken up, she is still very dedicated and hardworking in her work." 。"Liu Buchang also nodded in agreement: "That's right, she is a very capable female cadre. She works quickly and efficiently with high quality. If you assign her a task, you can rest assured." 。Moreover, she is full of energy. She's busy during the day and still socializes at night, getting along well with her superiors. 。Now that you two are broken up, I might as well tell you, no matter how busy Chen Hong is during the day, she can still go out to accompany important leaders of the city committee in the evening. No matter how late it is, she can still go to work normally the next morning. At her office, she brews flower tea and drinks it, seemingly full of energy again. 。I was going to remind her not to have too many social engagements this evening, but she said it wouldn't affect her work. 。Later, she didn't actually affect my work, so I didn't say much more. After all, that's outside of work hours. 。"Yes, Chen Hong has that ability." 。“However, I think Chen Hong might not be the right fit for you. Since you've already broken up, it’s not a bad thing. You can both move on and find your own happiness in the future.” 。Xiao Zheng nodded again, but said nothing. 。It would be great if everyone could go their separate ways, but Chen Hong doesn't seem to want that right now. 。But these private disputes, Xiao Zheng also didn't want to bring up to report to the head of the Willow Department. 。However, Xiao Zheng still wanted to understand what arrangements would be made for Chen Hong in the future. He asked: "Minister Liu, after you go to the provincial government, will Chen Hong stay in the department, or will there be other developments"Minister Liu said: "I suggest she stay in the department with peace of mind and follow the Organization Department. She won't suffer any disadvantages." 。But she seems to have her own plans, and I'm afraid you already know that. She's getting very close to Secretary Tan. 。Once I leave, Secretary Tan should arrange things for him. 。You also know that this time when I went to the provincial capital, it had a lot to do with Secretary Tan's dissatisfaction with my work. 。Xiao Zheng didn't want to hide it, so he nodded. 。"To be frank with you, in order to let you continue working on development in Anxian, I once had a tryst with Secretary Tan." 。" However, Xiao Zheng was unaware of this fact, and his heart warmed up: "Is that so Bureau Chief Liu, I didn't know at all."

"This isn't just about you..."

Liu Buchang's right hand gently pressed downwards in the air, saying: "While this does involve you, it's not solely for your sake. I'm carrying out the leader's instructions." 。"The leader's instructions" Xiao Zheng was even more puzzled. Which leader above cared about him There's only victory, no benefit to be gained from anything else, and there's no other path to take. 。。Wei Mingkang is definitely not a lone wolf. Chen Qingshan knows this well, as Dai Xuemeng often...
