Liu Hong happily bid farewell to Niu Xinguo and returned to the Cultural Affairs Bureau in a hurry.

At work in the afternoon, Liu Hong immediately convened a meeting of the leadership team of the Cultural Affairs Bureau. She sincerely said to the team members: "In order for the Cultural Affairs Bureau to achieve satisfactory results of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, the team must first unite and work with one heart and one mind. ”

Then, she said modestly: "I have long understood that your leaders have high political consciousness and strong work ability, and are deeply appreciated by the leaders of the municipal party committee and government. I hope that everyone will manage their respective areas well, be bold in innovation, work boldly, solve the things that can be solved by themselves, and report to me on major matters or collectively study and decide at the team meeting. ”

The other leaders of the Cultural Affairs Bureau looked at each other when they heard Liu Hong's words: Hey, what's going on? The Liu Hong in front of him is not the same as the legendary Iron Lady Chief, who has a tough style!

Liu Hong counted the days with his fingers, feeling that the time was so long, as if the clock had stopped moving. It's only now that she's really getting a taste of what it's like to live like a year. She has only one prayer, to meet Niu Xinguo's good friend Guo Mingkai as soon as possible, to help her break the current political deadlock, climb over the snowy mountains, get out of the quagmire, and continue to create brilliant work achievements.

The snow on the side of the street melted away, revealing a small green seedling. The plump leaf buds on the branches began to bloom, spitting out a little bit of tender green. A gentle breeze roams the streets and alleys of Anxi, announcing that spring has arrived.

Liu Hong finally received a call from Niu Xinguo in the sunny spring: Guo Mingkai took out precious time and agreed to have tea with the Niu brothers and sisters at 8 o'clock tonight.

Liu Hong put down the phone excitedly, immediately drove to the five-star Central Asia Hotel, and booked a large box with splendid decoration - Hongtu Hall.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Hong rushed home non-stop, took a hot bath, changed into a bean-green suit skirt and a pink embroidered shirt, and then sprayed Chanel No. 5 perfume that showed women's unique charm and grace, and went out under the suspicious gaze of his mother-in-law Chen Xiufang.

The hour hand pointed to 7 o'clock, and Liu Hong came to the Central Asia Hotel early. She first called Niu Xinguo to inquire about Guo Mingkai's dietary preferences, and then carefully ordered a few of the hotel's signature dishes.

After a busy time, Liu Hong went into the bathroom again, arranged his hair over and over again in front of the mirror, touched up his face, and tried to create a capable and charming female image.

At 8 o'clock, Niu Xinguo took Guo Mingkai into the Hongtu Hall on time.

Guo Mingkai, tall figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, white skin, a well-fitting light gray suit, white shirt, dark gray tie, looks capable, handsome and sunny.

When Liu Hong saw Guo Mingkai for the first time, he was stunned: Why is he so familiar? It seems that he has seen it before, where, when, Wang Gang? Yes, it looks too much like Wang Gang!

Niu Xinguo gave Liu Hong, who was in a daze, a reminding look, and then introduced his sister to Guo Mingkai, and then introduced Guo Mingkai to Liu Hong, who had just woken up from a big dream: "Xiaohong, this is Minister Guo that I often mention to you." ”

Guo Mingkai showed a charming smile of a mature man to Liu Hong, and enthusiastically stretched out his hand to Liu Hong: "Hello, beautiful director! ”

Liu Hongwan smiled and said happily: "Minister Guo, hello!"

The three of them sat down politely, chatting while eating, and the topic was very speculative. They talked about a wide range of topics, from world events to ordinary people, from cosmic space to time span, from astronomy and geography to literature, history and philosophy.

Speaking of the halfway point, Niu Xinguo played a mobile game by himself on the side.

Guo Mingkai and Liu Hong naturally became the main talkers.

Guo Mingkai said regretfully: "It is too condescending for an excellent talent like you to work in a small unit like the Anxi Cultural Bureau. You deserve a bigger stage to be able to use your ingenuity. ”

Liu Hong happily took over the conversation: "I also ask Minister Guo to give more advice and cultivation." ”

Liu Hong read a certain jumping, flickering brilliance in Guo Mingkai's eyes. She stared unabashedly at Guo Mingkai's handsome face, with a knowing and admiring smile on her face.

Liu Hong was surprised to find a black mole at the corner of Guo Mingkai's upper mouth. She thought in her heart, Wang Gang has a black mole on his nose and shoulder, and Guo Mingkai has a black mole on the corner of his mouth, why do the men I like have a black mole on his face? Could this also be a sign that has been decided a long time ago?

When they were separated, Guo Mingkai took the initiative to leave his mobile phone number for Liu Hong, and said with a smile: "We will be friends in the future, make a call if you have anything to do, and contact each other." ”

Liu Hong was so moved that he couldn't express it, and nodded solemnly.

On the way home by car, Liu Hong's mind tried to replay every topic and many details during the tea party, Guo Mingkai's voice and smile kept appearing in front of him, and there was a warm affection flowing in his heart.

Liu Hong admonished himself to work hard, create excellent results in the Cultural Affairs Bureau, lay a solid foundation, and wait for beautiful opportunities. She knows very well that if you want to organize and promote yourself, you can't do it without excellent performance.

From then on, no matter how busy he was at work, Liu Hong would send a good morning text message to Guo Mingkai every morning, and a good night blessing before going to bed at night. After more than a month, she took the initiative to contact Niu Xinguo to make an appointment with Guo Mingkai for a tea party.

Later, Niu Xinguo often had something to do and couldn't spare time to participate in their activities.

Liu Hong simply shook off Niu Xinguo and directly invited Guo Mingkai to have a separate tea party.

Liu Hong felt that fate favored her. When she was at the lowest point in her life, God sent another Wang Gang, Guo Mingkai, who was both talented and good-looking, to her side, soothing her wounded heart and giving her the confidence and strength to fight again.

There will be a new beginning in her life.

Liu Hong read the news in the newspapers that Beijing, Jiangsu, and other places had implemented the reform of the cultural institute and league system, and he was keenly aware that he wanted to take the lead in waving the banner of reform in the cultural circles of Hexi Province and reforming the system of cultural units such as the academy and troupe.

She first contacted the cultural units in the mainland by phone, then formulated a detailed inspection plan, and finally came to the municipal party committee and municipal government to invite Ye Peiying to go out to study together.

Ye Peiying happily agreed to Liu Hong's invitation.

On the plane to Beijing, Ye Peiying and Liu Hong sat next to each other and talked softly.

Suddenly, Ye Peiying smiled and said, "I think your personality is very similar to Hao Scarlett's. ”

Who is Hao Sijia? Liu Hong's brain searched for this person named Hao Sijia.

To be honest, Liu Hong was busy with transactional work all day long, and almost never read a few Chinese and foreign classics, most of the movies he watched in his childhood were North Korean and Albanian, and later watched several movies starring Liu Xiaoqing with Zhao Qingsong, such as "Red Beans in the North", "Listening to Politics with the Curtain", "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "The Private Life of the Female Mayor". How did she know who Scarlett Hao was?

I've never heard of this person. Liu Hong did not continue to ask Ye Peiying, but silently left this question mark in his heart.

It was already midnight when their plane arrived in Beijing.

As soon as Liu Hong stayed in the hotel and didn't care about washing, he immediately called Wu Shifei, the deputy director of Anxi TV, and asked: "Wu Tai, do you know who Hao Sijia is?"

She felt that there were many people who knew Wu Shifei, and she would definitely know who Hao Scarlett was.

In fact, Wu Shifei's education level is not very high, but he has read Chinese and foreign novels with military themes such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", and "Catch-22", and rarely comes into contact with other works such as love.

Wu Shifei tilted his head and thought for a long time and replied: "Liu Ju, there is no one named Hao Sijia among the people I know." ”

Liu Hong gave Wu Shifei an idea: "You ask Cao Tai now to see if he knows." ”

Cao Jianhua, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by the ringing of the phone. He thought it was an emergency call from the municipal party committee, and hurriedly answered it without looking at it when he opened the cover of his mobile phone.

Wu Shifei asked slowly on the phone: "Cao Tai, I'm sorry to call you so late." I want to ask if you know Scarlett?"

"Who?"

"Scarlett. ”

Unexpectedly, Wu Shifei called in the middle of the night to ask such a strange question, Cao Jianhua smiled bitterly and jokingly said: "Old Wu, what are you doing in the middle of the night? Isn't Hao Scarlett the daughter of the President of the United States?"

Wu Shifei finally asked the answer, his eyebrows fluttered happily, and he hurriedly made a report to Liu Hong.

The next morning, Liu Hong accompanied Ye Peiying to breakfast in the restaurant of the hotel.

While eating fried eggs and bacon, she smiled and said to Ye Peiying: "Mayor Ye, Hao Scarlett is the daughter of the President of the United States, where can I compare with her." ”

Ye Peiying opened her mouth in surprise, staring at a pair of round eyes, not knowing how to talk to Liu Hong.

Liu Hong knew that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly left the restaurant under the pretext of going to the bathroom.

She hid in the bathroom and called Wu Shifei.

Wu Shifei was still asleep for a while, and when he heard the mobile phone ringing, he saw that it was Liu Hong calling and hurriedly answered.

Liu Hong scolded Wu Shifei on the phone, and he ordered him to find out who Hao Sijia was immediately, and there must be no flaws.

A few minutes later, Wu Shifei called Liu Hong and said: "Report to Bureau Liu, Cao Tai said that Hao Scarlett is the heroine of the American novel "Gone with the Wind" about the Civil War period and the movie "Gone with the Wind" based on "Gone with the Wind", not the daughter of the President of the United States. He said he was joking with me last night. ”

After Liu Hong heard this, he was like thunder, and he was angry and ashamed in his heart.

She is a very strong woman who is strict with herself, but now she has made such a low-level mistake in front of the city-level leaders! She couldn't help but scold Wu Shifei: "You are really incompetent! Let you inquire about yourself and make yourself so disgusting! I have made a big fool of myself in front of Vice Mayor Ye!"

After venting the anger in his heart, Liu Hong began to worry about how to save face in front of Ye Peiying. In the end, she decided to break the jar and break it, first of all, she forgot about it by herself, so as not to affect her mood of studying and investigating.

They visited national, provincial, and municipal art troupes in Beijing and Nanjing, and learned that these troupes broke the habitual thinking of "sitting, waiting, and demanding," reorganized and merged cultural units, readjusted personnel and organizational relations, arranged literary and artistic repertoire close to the audience, and spent most of their performance time in the rural markets.

After Ye Peiying learned about these situations, she asked Liu Hong with concern: "Reform is so difficult, what do you think now?"

Liu Hong said firmly: "If you don't reform, there is only a dead end." Of course, it is good to have a bumper harvest of social and economic benefits, but at least we must ensure social benefits, otherwise what do we want us to do?"

Ye Peiying asked again: "People's economic conditions are good, and they have financial support. Our Anxi City's financial revenue is small, and it is impossible to give you enough funds. What do you do without money?"

Liu Hong said confidently: "Don't worry, there are always more ways than difficulties." ”

Ye Peiying looked at Liu Hong, who had a resolute expression, with approving eyes.

After returning from the inspection in Beijing, Jiangsu and other places, Liu Hong immediately organized the inspection personnel to write an inspection report, which was submitted to the municipal party committee after many revisions, and then waited for the final decision of the municipal party committee.

Liu Hong found a weekend to meet Guo Mingkai for tea, introduced him to the situation of the trip, and also talked about many of his ideas and financial troubles.

Guo Mingkai greatly appreciated Liu Hong's idea of charging ahead and boldly reforming. He thought for a while, decisively picked up his mobile phone, and called the main leaders of the Hexi Provincial Department of Culture to seek financial support for Liu Hong.

Guo Mingkai happily told Liu Hong: "The Provincial Department of Culture will soon allocate a special support fund to you, and will also give special care to the construction of theaters and performances in the countryside, hoping that the cultural reform of Anxi City can play a benchmark and role model in the province." ”

"Really?" Liu Hong jumped up excitedly. She seemed to be a youthful girl, "Brother Ming Kai, you are really my nobleman!"

If it weren't for the deliberate control, Liu Hong really wanted to give Guo Mingkai a warm hug!

After Liu Hong connected with the Department of Cultural Affairs to put the special funds in place, he led a team of people from the Cultural Affairs Bureau to go around to select a site for the new art theater, and then visited the National Development and Reform Commission, the Planning Bureau and other relevant departments to discuss and study the architectural shape of the theater with design experts, calculate the construction period with the personnel of the construction department, and intervene in all stages of planning, bidding and construction of the Anxi Art Theater.

When the construction company in Ha Nh province heard the news that the Cultural Bureau was going to build a new art theater, they knew that the opportunity to make money had come. They poured into the Cultural Affairs Bureau building in droves and formed a long queue in front of Mr. Liu's office.

Liu Hongwen sat in the office, solemnly received the visiting company CEOs, and inquired in detail about the qualifications, performance and reputation of the other party, so that the CEOs not only clearly felt the heavy responsibility, but also clearly knew that hope was in front of them.

At the end of the year, the Anxi Art Theater in the style of the Roman Theater was completed on time, standing majestically on the south side of the People's Square, becoming a modern and fashionable landmark building in Anxi City.

The restructuring of the cultural troupe is also proceeding smoothly. The wages and bonuses of employees have been effectively guaranteed. The management implements the old methods for the old and the new methods for the newcomers, which not only meets the needs of the older workers, but also stimulates the enthusiasm of the young workers.

Liu Hong's reform measures have been unanimously praised by the Provincial Department of Culture, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government and the majority of employees.

The Hexi Provincial Department of Culture promoted Liu Hong's reform experience to the province's cultural system, and arranged for Liu Hong to tour various regions of the province to give experience introduction reports. Since then, Liu Hong's influence has gone out of the radio and television system and Anxi City, and he has become a man of the year in Hexi Province.
