There are a few old plum trees planted in the yard, and the branches are slanted, and there is still the residual snow accumulated in the early morning.

Shen Huai came out of the county very early today, parked his car in the parking lot by the wharf of the old river, and walked in by the water platform along the river, without having to go through the main entrance of Shangxi Garden to take a picture of his face.

The snowmelt weather, the temperature is very cold, after the twilight is getting thicker, the weather is getting colder and colder, Shen Huai entered the small pavilion, and looked at the green and cold pants river outside the pavilion through the window. Ripples rippled in the cold wind, and a few dead branches and leaves rippled on the water.

Chen Dan stepped on the bluestone slab paved in the yard, pushed the door and walked in, and felt the cold air on the river pouring in from the window.

Shen Huai saw Chen Dan coming from the inside, not wearing a coat, but wearing a small suit over a thin cashmere sweater, dressed very thinly, and his delicate little face was slightly red by the cold wind, so he closed the window and blocked the cold wind outside.

Chen Dan's coat was taken off in the office, she was talking to the chefs in the kitchen, received a call from Shen Huai, and ran over directly with joy, but she didn't expect the yard to be so cold that she shivered, while curling up her arms tightly, she followed the button on the air conditioning panel to adjust the temperature up, she stood under the hot air outlet and waited for the warm air to blow down, and asked Shen Huai: "Why did you come out of the county so early today?"

Shen Huai saw that Chen Dan was cold enough, unbuttoned and opened his coat to hold her in his arms, let her body temperature warm her, and said: "Zhou Qibao is taking office today, if there is nothing unexpected in the county in the future, there is no need to stay in the county all day." ”

Chen Dan stretched out his hand from under Shen Huai's armpit, hugged his waist, felt his body temperature, warmed up, and said: "I used to see you working so hard, and people didn't feel good, but I couldn't tell you anything; ”

"It's hard to be idle," Shen Huai said with a smile, "Now it's just a matter of throwing out the trivial things in the county, and other troubles are still indispensable - however, even if you throw out the trivial chores in the county, it will save a lot of effort, otherwise the small meetings of the conference and all kinds of entertainment will be able to entangle people and not get out." ”

Shen Huai didn't know how others would understand his delegation of power to Zhou Qibao, and there might be all kinds of speculations, but from his standpoint, he was reducing the burden for himself, otherwise there would be no way to come out of the county so early today and come over to meet Chen Dan.

Chen Dan thought about it in his heart, Shen Huai used to hold two positions in Xiapu, he was both the leader of the party committee and the head of the government, as long as the officials with a higher level than the county department level formed a team to visit Xiapu, as long as Shen Huai had to accompany him at home, otherwise he would be arrogant and rude, and he would fall into a lot of tongues.

Now Shen Huai is the leader of the party committee, but in addition to Zhou Qibao, Qi Jingyao is also the director of the county people's congress and is in charge of propaganda and other work, not only the meetings and work of the county government and the county people's congress do not have to worry about Shen Huai, but most of the unimportant reception activities can also be pushed to Zhou Qibao and Qi Jingyao to be responsible, and Shen Huai can be much easier.

"What do you want to eat at night?" Chen Dan warmed up, withdrew his hand, and asked Shen Huai, "Do you want to eat here, or will I go to the kitchen and get something to go back and make it?"

The chef level of Shangxi Garden is naturally first-class, but Shen Huai thinks that the weather is cold, it is the season to eat mutton, come to a pound of braised goat meat from Jinghai, mutton liver, mutton blood, tofu and garlic mixed and fried, and then drink half a catty of bamboo leaf green, eat and drink hot in winter, such a day is called beauty.

Thinking that the two of them couldn't eat this atmosphere in the exquisite accord of Shangxi Garden, and they couldn't find a small shop in Meixi Town where they wouldn't meet acquaintances, Shen Huai thought about going back and cooking dinner by himself, and said, "Relax, I just want to drink some wine, and you can also drink some wine with me." But the two of them can't drive after drinking, and it's enough to walk back on such a cold day, let's go back and cook and eat by ourselves - by the way, what about Xiao Li and Kou Xuan, they should be on vacation, and everyone has gone back to Meixi?"

Shen Huai didn't see Xiao Li and Kou Xuan for most of the year, and even the number of trips back to Meixi was small.

"Xiao Li has to stay at school to work during the winter vacation, and Kou Xuan has also passed, and he will not come back until the Spring Festival. Chen Dan said.

"It's all on vacation, do you still have a good job at school?" Shen Huai asked strangely, but Xiao Li had already learned to take care of himself, and he didn't need to worry about anything, he discussed with Chen Dan how to stir-fry the lamb liver and eat it later, let Chen Dan go to the kitchen to get something, and he went to the parking lot to drive the car to the main gate of Shangxi Garden facing the old street.

***********************

As soon as Shen Huai turned the car around to the main gate of Shangxi Garden and waited for Chen Dan to come out of it, he saw a group of people walking from the old street in the distance.

The street lights are not so bright, but Qi Jingyao and Hu Lin are still quite eye-catching when they walk in the middle of a group of people.

After Meixi Old Street was opened, it mainly focused on mid-to-high-end Chinese food and cuisine, while Japanese-style and English-style bars and KTV clubs and other entertainment venues had to pass through the old river wharf, and there were many places along the river.

It's still early to enter the night market at this point, but the high-end restaurant at the west end of the old street is Shangxiyuan - Shen Huai didn't know that Hu Lin and the others were in Donghua, and he didn't know why they looked like they were coming to Shangxiyuan to eat at this time.

The current district and county leaders like to live in buses with small number plates to show their superior status, but Shen Huai is afraid that he will be recognized by others at every turn, so he specially chose a bus with a low license plate that ordinary people don't recognize. However, ordinary people can't recognize his car, and Shen Huai can't expect Qi Jingyao not to recognize his car.

Shen Huai put his hand on the steering wheel and watched Qi Jingyao and Hu Lin come over, but when they approached, he saw Luo Xiaotian, secretary general of the Yicheng Municipal Party Committee, walking with Hu Lin.

More than three months ago, Shen Huai called Zhong Limin, secretary of the provincial party committee, to go to Yicheng to talk, and Luo Xiaotian, secretary general of the Yicheng Municipal Party Committee, was drunk and made a fool of himself in front of Secretary Zhong, so that Yicheng's work of attracting investment was severely criticized by Secretary Zhong.

Shen Huai didn't pay attention to Luo Xiaotian's movements after that.

Luo Xiaotian was drunk and made a fool of himself last time, and he had a direct relationship with Hu Lin, Shen Huai didn't expect to see him walking with Hu Lin again tonight, or walking on the stone road of Meixi Old Street.

In addition to Qi Jingyao, Hu Lin, and Luo Xiaotian, Gao Yang, Zhou Yiwen, Dai Yi and others, Shen Huai also knew each other.

Seeing them coming over and seeing this side with their eyes, Shen Huai also pushed the door and got out of the car, and said, "How can Secretary Qi accompany President Hu and Secretary General Luo in Meixi today?"

"Meixi is Secretary Shen's territory, are you welcome to come over?" Hu Lin muttered a cigarette in his mouth, took it down, put one hand in his trouser pocket, and had no intention of shaking hands with Shen Huai.

Shen Huai has not seen Hu Lin since the storm of Dabao and the shipbuilding tax inspection, but he also knows that Hu Lin's father Hu Zhiyuan withdrew from Rongxin and became the director of the Financial and Economic Committee of the National People's Congress, and Hu Lin arranged for the Hu family to join the Rongxin Group to take over.

Shen Huai thought that Hu Lin had not been in Rongxin for two months, and at this time he should be busy fighting openly and secretly with Rongxin's old ministers, and he should have stopped outside during this time, but he didn't expect him to come to him in such a short time.

Seeing Hu Linduan having such a big shelf, Shen Huai just smiled and said: "Mr. Hu speaks with a lot of anger, which puts a lot of psychological pressure on me - the central government has been cracking down on mountaineering in various fields recently, Mr. Hu, I can't afford to wear this hat." ”

Shen Huai's speech poked at people's sore spots, Premier Wang Yuan has always been disgusted with the fact that all companies take central enterprises as their own turf to operate, Hu Zhiyuan's departure from Rongxin at this time also has a lot to do with this - Hu Lin saw that Shen Huai was not sharper than his teeth, so he snorted and didn't mention it.

Shen Huai saw that Hu Lin's hand was still in his trouser pocket, and quietly stretched out his hand to Luo Xiaotian to shake it, and asked with a smile, "Why did Secretary-General Luo drink in Donghua today?

The unpleasant drunkenness for more than three months seemed to have become a consensual and memorable old thing in Shen Huai's mouth, Luo Xiaotian explained for Gao Yang: "The main reason is that I am afraid that Secretary Shen is busy with official business, so I didn't let Lao Gao call you - I am an unofficial and light, so I will come to Donghua to walk around at will when I am free." It is really fate to meet Secretary Shen you. ”

Hearing Luo Xiaotian say that he was "unofficial and light" at this time, Shen Huai was quite surprised, and asked quietly: "Oh, why is Secretary General Luo 'unofficial and light'?"

"Secretary-General Luo is not unofficial and light, but he went out of Yicheng and entered Rongxin Group to serve as the party secretary and general manager of Rongxin Real Estate," Gao Yang said, "Huaihai private cuisine is headed by Sun's cuisine, and Sun's cuisine is the most authentic in Shangxiyuan......;

Shen Huaicai wouldn't believe that Gao Yang and they came here just to celebrate Luo Xiaotian, Hu Lin came over with high spirits, there should be other places to show off his might - however, when Luo Xiaotian was drunk in front of Zhong Limin, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, more than three months ago, Hu Lin didn't explain and bear a few words for him, and sat back and watched him being beaten as a target, and now he invited Luo Xiaotian to join Rongxin, so that Shen Huai had to look at Hu Lin again.

After the drunken incident, Luo Xiaotian became the target of public criticism in Yicheng, and his impression of the province was also very bad, which means that his future in the local development has become extremely narrow, and it is very likely that he will even be taken from the position of secretary general of the municipal party committee after a while. has the opportunity to jump out of the place, and it has become the most ideal development channel for Luo Xiaotian at present.

The administrative level positioning of central enterprises is less ambiguous and more ambiguous.

Hu Zhiyuan is a provincial and ministerial-level official, which is more related to his personal resume, and Rongxin Group is more accurate to say that it is only a vice-provincial and ministerial-level unit, and its subordinate real estate companies can be regarded as a deputy director-level or vice-department-level unit.

Luo Xiaotian gave up his position as secretary general of the Yicheng Municipal Party Committee and jumped out to Rongxin Group to serve as the party secretary and general manager of the real estate company, which has to be said to be another way.
