The high praise of the leaders of the municipal party committee has played a huge role in improving Liu Hong's status in Anxi TV and society. Colleagues at the TV station were impressed with her overnight, became very polite to her, and even began to take the initiative to greet her. Huang Wendao and Ding Yan, the leaders and department directors of the TV station, paid more attention to her, in addition to unswervingly anchoring "Anxi News", Liu Hong was sent to host all important activities attended by municipal leaders.

Anxi City was entrusted by the Hexi Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government to undertake a grand and grand provincial commodity fair. The municipal party committee and the municipal government attach great importance to this exhibition. Liu Zhenbang, secretary of the municipal party committee, personally took command and served as the leader of the leading group, leading and directing the exhibition as a whole.

Liu Hong, as the host specially designated by the Organizing Committee of the exhibition, presided over the opening ceremony at the scene.

Liu Zhenbang and other key leaders, accompanied by Propaganda Minister Zheng Wendong, attended the opening ceremony.

Seeing that there were still more than 10 minutes before the opening ceremony began, Zheng Wendong saw the stitches and specially took Liu Hong to the VIP lounge and introduced her to Liu Zhenbang.

Liu Zhenbang is about 50 years old, burly, dignified, kind-eyed, and has no official status.

He looked at Liu Hong with approving eyes and said kindly, "Well, it's good." Squeeze the bus to work with a big belly, and don't ask for leave to rest when you're sick! ”

Liu Hong was taken aback when she heard Liu Zhenbang's words. She felt a little familiar when she saw Liu Zhenbang for the first time, but considering that she often saw the image of Secretary Liu on the TV screen, she didn't pay too much attention to it. Now when she heard Liu Zhenbang say this, she immediately concluded that the passenger wearing a mask was Secretary Liu of Weifu's private interview!

Liu Hong said with a guilty face: "Oh, Secretary Liu, I'm really sorry! I didn't know it was you at the time." ”

Liu Zhenbang raised his head and laughed: "Do you know that it's me Liu Zhenbang, won't you spit on me?"

Liu Hong shyly covered her red face with her hands, but her heart was full of incomparable happiness and sweetness. It was only at this moment that she truly realized that bad things can become good things.

The leaders sitting around also burst into laughter.

Liu Zhenbang continued: "Among the people of Anxi City, your Liu Hong's popularity is much greater than that of me, the secretary of the municipal party committee. ”

Liu Hong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Secretary Liu, where is it? How can I compare with you! You are the parent official of the people of the city." ”

Liu Zhenbang quickly changed the subject: "By the way, our son always laughs at me, saying that my Mandarin is not standard, and it is difficult to listen to my speech at the conference. I just happened to ask you for advice. ”

Liu Zhenbang then asked Liu Hong a few questions about Chinese pronunciation.

Liu Hong earnestly answered the questions raised by Liu Zhenbang. She felt that Secretary Liu's accent was a little similar to her father Niu Fushou's accent, so she boldly asked: "Secretary Liu, your accent is very similar to my father's." My father is from Xialin County, Ha Dong Province. Where are you from?"

Liu Zhenbang pretended to be surprised and said, "Is it? Xiao Liu, my hometown is also Xialin County, Hedong Province. It looks like we were a family 300 years ago. ”

Secretary Liu is also a native of Xialin County, Hedong Province? Liu Hong couldn't believe his ears. Great! We also have big officials in Hedong. In the future, I will no longer have to suffer humiliation for my Hedong origins.

For the first time in her life, Liu Hong tasted the happiness and pride of being a Hedong person. She laughed from the bottom of her heart, laughing so heartily, laughing so comfortably, laughing so proudly, even with some exaggeration.

However, Liu Hong did not truthfully tell Liu Zhenbang the fact that her original surname was Niu, because she did not want to distance herself from the secretary of the municipal party committee. She needs to use this backer to strengthen her life and work, and help her future development and take-off.

Liu Hong no longer shy away from his hometown, and proudly said that his hometown is Xialin County, Hedong Province, and the implication is that he is a fellow countryman with Secretary Liu of the Municipal Party Committee, clearly reminding others that Liu Hong is not an idle person, but also a person with excellent genes.

Some people on the TV station felt strange and muttered in private: "Didn't she always say that her hometown was Qingdao, the old revolutionary base area of Shandong, in the past? Why has it become Hedong again?"

When Niu Fushou and his wife came to Anxi to visit their son and daughter, Liu Hong told his father about meeting Liu Zhenbang and encouraged his father to take him to visit Secretary Liu, who was a fellow villager.

Niu Fushou shook his head like a rattle, and vetoed again and again: "I am a cadre in the village, and I am an out-and-out peasant in the city. He is the secretary of the municipal party committee, and there are several levels of him, so where can he pay attention to us. ”

Liu Hong did not give up, pestered her father and persuaded her for several days, and finally moved Niu Fushou.

The father and daughter carried a large bag of fruit and found Liu Zhenbang's home.

It's a pity that after knocking on the door of Liu Zhenbang's house for a long time, no one has opened the door.

Neighbors told them that Secretary Liu hadn't lived here for a long time, and no one knew where he lived now.

Liu Hong and her father returned in vain.

Liu Hong heard that Liu Zhenbang has 3 sons and 2 daughters, one of whom is the same year as herself, working in the Hexi Provincial Bureau of Industry and Commerce.

Liu Hong's heart sometimes can't help but think: It's really a blessing. If I had known Secretary Liu earlier, maybe it would have been his daughter-in-law, if that was the case, my work unit today would not be the small Anxi TV station, and my fate would definitely be another wonderful and brilliant.

Once, a study delegation from Ha Dong Province came to Anxi.

Liu Zhenbang did his best to entertain the delegation at the Dongfeng Hotel in the evening. He specially arranged for his secretary to call and invite Liu Hong to attend the banquet together.

Liu Hong was very happy after receiving the notice, and as soon as she finished recording the news program, she hurried to the Dongfeng Hotel without removing her makeup.

Liu Zhenbang was communicating with the guests at the dinner table, and when he saw Liu Hong walking in, he immediately stood up, beckoned Liu Hong to sit on a vacant seat specially reserved for her next to him, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you, this is Liu Hong, the news anchor of Anxi TV. She is also a descendant of our Hedong nationality. I specially invited her to meet you today. ”

The guests immediately applauded enthusiastically and praised continuously: "The TV announcer is beautiful!" and "We are really outstanding people in Hedong." "Look at the people, they are much more beautiful than the announcers of our Hedong Provincial Station. ”

Liu Hong listened to the rustic and harsh Hedong accent echoing throughout the room, and her heart was mixed. I am happy that because of my hometown in Hedong, I have increased the closeness with Secretary Liu of the Municipal Party Committee that others can't get. I'm worried that the Hedong accent is really hard to hear, and when will I be able to clean it up.

Liu Hong picked up the wine bottle and filled the wine glass in front of her, then picked up the wine glass, and said generously and enthusiastically: "Leaders, good evening." I'm Liu Hong, please call me Xiao Liu. First of all, I would like to toast you with the first glass of wine, on behalf of the citizens of all ethnic groups in the city, sincerely welcome you to the beautiful Anxi!

Everyone cheered and drank it all.

Liu Hong poured a second glass of wine, served it again, and said in a beautiful tone: "Please use two mouthfuls of food first." Compared with the leaders, I am young and young, and I am not qualified to dine at the same table with you, but you are guests from Secretary Liu's hometown and the leader of my father's hometown. Kiss or not, hometown people. I wish the leadership of my hometown a smooth work, a prosperous career, good health, and a harmonious family! Cheers!"

Everyone cheered again and drank it all.

Liu Hong poured the third glass of wine, served it again, and said in a crisp voice: "Please continue to use the dishes." I will now dedicate a song to you to cheer up the leaders, please forgive me for not singing well. ”

Liu Hong unfolded her singing voice and sang her best "Night at the Military Port". Liu Hong's singing is very average, and there are a few places that are out of tune, but what you want at the wine table is courage and atmosphere, and it doesn't matter if it's good or not.

After Liu Hong finished singing, everyone applauded: "Okay!"

Liu Hong raised the third glass of wine and said loudly: "Since it's good, let's make the third glass." Please eat and drink and have fun!"

Liu Hong's arrival added bright colors and a warm atmosphere to the dinner. The guests of the delegation enjoyed themselves. Liu Zhenbang, secretary of the municipal party committee, also had a dazzling face and was overjoyed.

Later, Liu Zhenbang often invited Liu Hong to participate in banquets for guests from other places. Liu Hong tried her best to make the atmosphere of the banquet lively every time, and successfully completed her task.

Every time it comes to the climax of the banquet, Liu Hong always has a worry in her heart: Will Secretary Liu be transferred from Anxi?

Unexpectedly, it became a prophecy. Liu Zhenbang was really transferred from Anxi City soon after, and was transferred to the Hexi Provincial Party Committee as deputy secretary, in charge of the ideological field, and naturally also in charge of Hexi TV. He was not very satisfied with several female announcers of Hexi TV, and originally planned to transfer Liu Hong to Hexi TV as a news anchor. Unfortunately, a few days ago, the provincial party committee promulgated the "Regulations on the Prohibition of Drivers and Secretaries for the Transfer of Leading Cadres." In order to avoid suspicion, Liu Zhenbang had to temporarily put aside the transfer of Liu Hong.

The newly appointed secretary of the Anxi Municipal Party Committee, Lu Jiangshan, was soon in place.

Liu Hongyan watched Liu Zhenbang transfer out of Anxi City, and he was lost for a long time. She lamented that the good times were too short, and slipped away quietly before she could enjoy them. She is determined to seize the hard-won opportunity in the future.

Liu Hong saw that the new secretary of the municipal party committee was surnamed Lu, and once wanted to change his name to Lu Hong, but after careful consideration, he did not change it rashly. First, because changing the name too hastily is easy to be noticed by others, it is difficult to ensure that it will not be maliciously attacked by people who do good things; second, the father Niu Fushou is a little unhappy with his daughter's change of surname and name.

Niu Fushou once asked his daughter more seriously: "According to our old Chinese tradition, if you marry Qingsong, you can also call Zhao Yuehong and Zhao Niu Yuehong with his surname Zhao." Follow your mother's surname Zhang Yuehong, I have no opinion. Liu Hong - Why did you inexplicably have the surname Liu of an outsider?"

Liu Hong coquettishly knelt on her father's shoulder and said mischievously: "Dad, a name is a symbol." Besides, the name Liu Hong is simple and easy to remember. Don't get into the nitty-gritty. ”

Niu Fushou was amused by his baby daughter, and said with a thick Hedong accent: "Who called me surnamed Niu? ”
