Chapter 207: Doubts Arise Again

rs. But the result was that Tianhuang Town itself was primarily based on stone mining. The slightly larger businesses were all involved in stone mining, and now they had all stopped. 。Most businesses...Xiao Zheng's journey has been full of twists and turns, leaving him with many reflections along the way. 。Before, because he offended Song Guoming in Tianhuang Town, he was “snowed under” for five or six years, feeling like there was no way out. 。Without meeting Xiao Jingyu in this life, he would probably have stayed in Tianhuang Town his whole life, never achieving the glory and ambition of today as the town mayor Therefore, young cadres truly need to be organized and cultivated, and this cultivation and recommendation power cannot be solely within the grasp of a single unit's leader. 。Everyone has flaws, even the top person is no exception. 。If the leader himself has problems, he will only employ people who are close to him and beneficial to him. 。When networking becomes the primary path to promotion for officials, the atmosphere within an organization or region deteriorates. Honest and hardworking officials are disheartened. 。Xiao Zheng understood this very well. As far as he knew, the situation where one person held the ultimate authority was not uncommon in Anxian County, it accounted for a large proportion of the units there. 。Since Xiao Jingyu asked for his opinion today, he told him the whole situation. 。Xiao Jingyu said: "This is indeed a big problem." 。

Cadre development should rely on institutional mechanisms, rather than personal recommendations. Otherwise, it is inevitable that appointments will be made based on favoritism.

I know that the provincial government has a specialized mechanism for discovering, selecting, and cultivating cadres, firmly keeping cadre development under the control of the provincial committee. While your subordinate cities, departments, and units can cultivate and recommend cadres, the provincial committee also deeply understands the situation of cadres and firmly holds the right to use them. 。"If only it could really be done." 。"Xiao Jingyu looked at Xiao Zheng and said, "I think you're also quite suitable for doing organizational work." 。"Xiao Zheng said, “I’m an outsider to this field. I've never organized cadres before and have only ever worked in government positions." 。Therefore, organizing cadre work will definitely not be done well. 。How could one possibly do badly It's just a lack of on-the-job experience. 。"Xiao Jingyu said, “When the 'Rural Revitalization' project in Tianhuang Town is on the right track, the county committee will study it again and give you more opportunities for training.” 。"Xiao Jingyu even explicitly proposed to give Xiao Zheng an opportunity to exercise, which made Xiao Zheng feel emotional and said: “Being able to do everything I can in Tianhuang Town is already very good, I don't ask for anything else. " 。Xiao Shu, I don't know how to repay you for your help. 。Xiao Jingyu was startled, slowly raising her head to look at Xiao Zheng. Her obsidian eyes, rimmed with a faint blue halo, were deep and ancient, as if coming from the depths of the universe and a distant past. 。Xiao Jingyu smiled slightly and said, "As for repayment, the two of us have been inseparable our entire lives, and we can't even begin to express how much we owe each other." 。You saved my physical life, and I saved your political life. 。This probably counts as fate, huh 。In that case, let's not talk about repayment anymore. Since the organization needs us now, and the people of An County need us, let's fight side by side! 。This was the first time Xiao Zheng had seen Xiao Jingyu so moved, but he still said: "It's nothing to fight side by side" 。You are the leader. 。You lead, I execute. 。"Xiao Jingyu smiled and stood up from her seat: 'We're not in a leader-led relationship, but comrades-in-arms. Are you willing'"

Xiao Jingyu's black hair was smooth and neatly combed behind her neck. Her tailored suit outlined her graceful figure. Her fair and supple hand gently extended forward, making Xiao Zheng feel that she didn't belong to the same level as him. She came from an elegant and noble group, while he, Xiao Zheng, was just an ordinary cadre who grew up in a common village and worked in the grassroots of the town. 。Now, Xiao Jingyu reached out his hand to him and asked, "Would you fight side by side with me"

Xiao Zheng extended his hand and grasped Xiao Jingyu's hand. 。In that instant their hands clasped, a bolt of lightning seemed to shoot through their bodies, connecting them. 。This lightning held a hint of excitement, an inexplicable tremor, and a tingling sensation of shared consciousness. 。This was the happiest, most exciting, and most joyful handshake Xiao Zheng had ever experienced in his life. One minute wasn't enough, two minutes weren't enough... Besides shaking hands, he actually wanted to be closer to the other person. 。But he let go of Xiao Jingyu's hand, and repeated, "Shoulder to shoulder," then said, "Xiao Shuji, I'll take my leave now," and then left Xiao Jingyu's office. 。Xiao Jingyu stood silently in place, watching as the office door closed. She could no longer see Xiao Zheng's figure. 。She shook her head vigorously, wondering what was wrong with her. What she had said to Xiao Zheng today had already crossed the boundary between superiors and subordinates, which was prohibited by the organization. 。Xiao Jingyu was relieved that Xiao Zheng hadn't done anything out of line just now, otherwise she probably wouldn't have refused him. 。What will happen next Both of them are probably going to be in danger. 。Chen Guangming's matter was properly resolved, and Chen Guangming retained his position as director for now. This delighted both Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin. 。They suggested that they would arrange a meeting at a high-end hotel in the county seat, booking a private room to bring Xiao Zheng's parents together and discuss the engagement. 。。Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei were both worried that Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin would look down on them as country folks, so they were both a little nervous. 。Xiao Rongrong had some opinions about the Chen family. He originally planned that if the Chen family were not polite to him, he would not drink alcohol or smoke, and after taking a bite of rice, he would go home. 。However, what they didn't expect was that the Chen family was surprisingly polite this time. 。When Xiao Zheng, along with Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei, arrived at the hotel entrance, Chen Guangming, Sun Wenmin, and Chen Hong were already waiting for them in the hotel lobby. As soon as they saw Xiao Zheng's parents arrive, they all stepped forward and greeted them with smiles. 。Chen Guangming was still holding Xiao Rongrong's hand, and said enthusiastically with a smile: "Brother-in-law, it's great to finally meet you. Come on, let's go to the private room for dinner." 。Sun Wenmin also came over and took Fei Qingmei's arm, pulling her into the elevator together. 。In the elevator, an acquaintance greeted Chen Guangming: "Director Chen, hello! Are you here for a meal"The acquaintance saw Chen Guangming holding hands with someone who looked like an ordinary farmer, which surprised him. "Who is this" Chen Guangming smiled and said, "This is my father-in-law. I'm here today to discuss my daughter and son-in-law's engagement." 。This is my son-in-law, the mayor of Tianhuang Town. 。My daughter works at the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department. 。Chen Guangming introduced himself with vigor and enthusiasm. 。"Your whole family is made up of leaders! That's really impressive!" A familiar acquaintance complimented, "Director Chen, congratulations, congratulations! Such a powerful alliance!" 。"Chen Guangming said: 'Mainly because my son-in-law is a good one!'

This made Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei feel nothing at all about Chen's family looking down on them, but instead, their enthusiasm made them feel uncomfortable." 。During the meal, not only was the food abundant, but Chen Guangming was responsible for toasting, Sun Wenmin for serving dishes, and Chen Hong for pouring wine. The Chen family treated Xiao Zheng's parents with such warmth and enthusiasm that they felt like they were dreaming. 。After being warmly entertained, Xiao Rongrong's previous prejudice against the Chen family gradually melted away. Xiao Rongrong also took the initiative to toast, and unknowingly got drunk. 。Xiao Zheng and Chen Hong's big day was also set at dinner, on May 1st of the following year. It was Labor Day that day, and everyone was off work. Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei were also laborers and felt it was fitting to celebrate on this day. 。Xiao Zheng and Chen Hong fell in love freely, without going through matchmakers. When their parents met, they decided on the marriage. 。Chen Guangming had already arranged a comfortable room for them at the hotel, and that night Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei stayed at the hotel. 。In their lifetimes, Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei had never stayed in such a high-end hotel before. 。Fei Qingmei leaned against the big bed in the hotel, touching the smooth sheets and duvet, and said, "The conditions in this kind of big hotel are really good. Look at the cups and pillowcases, they're so comfortable." 。"Xiao Rongrong said: 'Golden nests and silver nests are no better than one's own dog house.'" 。If I hadn't had too much to drink today, and if I wasn't so far from home, I would really want to go back. 。Fee Qingmei said: “That's true too, one's own home is definitely more comfortable.” 。"

Xiao Rongrong said: "Today I didn't expect that the Chen family would be so polite to us. " 。"What's the reason behind this, after all Is it that the Chen family accepted our poor family as relatives" Fei Qingmei said: "It's probably because our Xiao Zheng became the town chief, so the Chen family looks at us differently." 。Xiao Zheng didn't tell them that something happened to Chen Guangming at the bureau. Luckily, Xiao Zheng went to report to the county Party Secretary and found a solution, allowing Chen Guangming to temporarily keep his position. 。So, Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei could only guess blindly, but no matter how they guessed, they couldn't guess the point. 。

Xiao Rongrong said: "No matter what, no matter how others treat us, we should treat them the same way." 。Let's not dwell on the past. Now that people are kind to us, we should be polite to them as well. 。After our village is made more beautiful, we should also renovate our rooms to make them clean and tidy. We hope that people will come to stay in our village for a few days. 。"Fei Qingmei said: “This is what you want” 。The two elders spoke to each other, one sentence at a time, until eleven o'clock. 。Suddenly, Xiao Rongrong remembered something: "But that black car from the East China Sea used to come only once a year. It's been coming more frequently lately." 。I really hope they come less often. 。"Sun Wenmin said, "I hope so too! Last time I came, it just happened that Xiao Zheng also returned. " 。That day, Xiao Zheng even specifically asked me, I'm afraid he has already started to suspect something! We are living well now, Xiao Zheng is doing great at the town government office, even if they don't come, our lives won't be any worse. 。"I really hope we won't be disturbed!"

Xiao Rongrong said, "Me too." 。"Sun Wenmin said, “What I’m most worried about now is that they will see that Xiao Zheng has grown up and become capable, and they might go back on their word” Xiao Rongrong said, “They are such a large family, could they possibly not keep their promises” Sun Wenmin said, “I hope they won’t.” 。"Let's not worry too much, shall we We should get some sleep now before dawn breaks." 。”nd Fei Qingmei said. “Besides, your family has children and men who need to eat them as well.” 。“Zhangsao saw that this family was unwilling to accept, and she became a little anxious: “Xiao Zheng, do...
