After Wang Xiaoying returned to the township, she did not behave abnormally for two weeks. If there is anything abnormal, it is that she speaks and does things a lot more kindly, her daily dress has become generous and decent, and it is even more rare to go to work on time every day. What people see is a low-key and cautious member Wang, not the former secretary and concubine who was flamboyant and domineering. Many people behind the scenes are talking about changing people in the environment and changing people in the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. Slowly, many people's impression of her is gradually changing.

Since returning to the township, Wang Xiaoying has never entered Chu Tianqi's room again, and there has been no more pretending to be sick in the middle of the night. When meeting in the hospital, Chu Tianqi tried his best to bow his head to avoid it, but Wang Xiaoying took the initiative to greet him generously, and there was no derailment or words or deeds other than that.

The more Wang Xiaoying behaved in a low-key manner, the more Ning Junqi and Chu Tianqi did not dare to take it lightly, they knew the phrase "dogs that bite people don't bark". Chu Tianqi went to Ning Junqi's office a lot less often than ever, and even if he did, he would leave in a hurry after talking about work, and they were worried that Wang Xiaoying would take advantage of their unpreparedness to install eavesdropping or recording equipment in the township chief's office. While this is unlikely, caution is no major deal.

Chu Tianqi also took good care of his office, and as long as he left the office, he locked the door. This method was really troublesome, and then I simply changed a hidden lock, which must be locked as long as the door is closed. If you're in the house, keep your tongue locked so you don't have to get up and open the door when someone comes. At night, in addition to locking the door lock, the two latches on the door are still tightly inserted.

Like Chu Tianqi, Ning Junqi didn't dare to take it lightly, except for being very attentive to the room and door locks. When she was in contact with Chu Tianqi, she tried not to say anything outside of work, and tried to compress the time very shortly. Even when talking about work, Chu Tianqi sat on the sofa, instead of sitting on the chair opposite the desk like before.

Chu Tianqi and Ning Junqi's defense of Wang Xiaoying can be said to have reached the point where all plants and trees are soldiers. Compared with Wang Xiaoying's down-and-out generosity, the two of them looked suspicious and nervous, as if they had done something wrong. Many people working in the township found that Chu Tianqi and Ning Junqi were not as hot as before, and they speculated that the two of them had a "love change". Chu Tianqi learned from Yang Daqing that people were talking about his "love change", and he couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and secretly sighed at people's sensitivity.

When Chu Tianqi told this rumor to Ning Junqi, Ning Junqi was silent for a long time before he said self-deprecatingly: "Celebrities have no privacy!" When she said this, there were faint tears in her eyes, and only the person concerned could understand the bitterness and sweetness.

Ning and Chu did not relax their vigilance for a while because of people's discussions, and they deeply knew that it was irresponsible for their own safety and even their lives to be lucky with the wicked. While this analogy may be biased, the truth is the same.

The situation of Ning and Chu and Huang and Wang is actually very understandable. Because Ning and Chu did not directly launch an offensive to deal with Wang Xiaoying, but took a defensive position, which was very passive. But judging from Wang Xiaoying's past, she will take the initiative to attack at any time and cause Chu Tianqi to die. Therefore, in the current competition, Huang Jingzu and Wang Xiaoying are like two goshawks, keeping an eye on their prey at any time. Chu Tianqi and Ning Junqi were like two frightened rabbits, they could only try to learn the vigilance of a fox and prevent the goshawk from suddenly swooping down. When it is really absolutely necessary, come to a rabbit and kick the eagle three times. It's just that these two docile rabbits, once they fight back, the huge energy contained in their bodies will gush out in an instant.

Wang Xiaoying is not as relaxed as she seems, she must pay attention to her words and deeds at all times, maintain a good image at any time, and not let the good situation she created be ruined, so as to achieve her ultimate goal in the near future.

……

In less than ten days, it will be the Spring Festival, and everyone will be busy. People who are busy with work have to work overtime, and people who are not busy with work have to find ways to sneak out to do private work.

If you want to say that the busiest before the Spring Festival, it is the leaders. Not only do they have to hold meetings, they have to deal with various inspections, but they also have to go to the county or city to communicate feelings. Although Ning Junqi disdains the set of treats and gifts, normal human feelings are not exempt from vulgarity, otherwise he will become an alternative and isolate himself from officialdom. So, from time to time, she took some souvenirs to walk around the county and visit the city for the New Year. Chu Tianqi has to deal with the township government's mess, but this is much better than going to the door to give gifts.

So far this year, there hasn't been a decent snowfall, just two sporadic snowflakes, and the kind that melts when it lands. This is a good thing for many people, at least it should be convenient to travel. But for farmers who are farming, this means poor moisture conditions, which can affect the next year's planting.

Now, the rumors that Huang Jingzu is going to be the deputy county magistrate are getting more and more intense. It was not the first time Chu Tianqi had heard it, although there was no very definite news, but he was convinced of the phrase "no wind and no waves". Many people in the township also think so, and even the supernumerary organization department is already equipping the township with a leadership team.

As the party to the rumors, Huang Jingzu is not abnormal. It's just that the time on the job is much more than the same period in previous years. His smiling face also increased, and the smiling face was not only available now, but actually existed when it was announced that Wang Xiaoying was going to training.

……

Township Mayor's Office.

"Tuk tuk", there was a knock on the door.

Ning Junqi, who was immersed in reading the information, raised his head and said, "Please come in." ”

As soon as the door opened, Chu Tianqi walked in.

Seeing that it was him, Ning Junqi leaned back, leaned back in his chair, and said, "Chu Daxiang has not come to the door for a long time, why is he here today?"

Chu Tianqi learned from Ning Junqi's tone and said: "The New Year is approaching, I am here to present a gift, and I hope that the township elders will accept it with a smile." As he spoke, he had already sat down on the chair opposite Ning Junqi.

"Go over there. Ning Junqi pointed to the sofa and said.

Chu Tianqi said with a smile: "The sofa is too far away from here, I can't see my dignity clearly, and I can't give a gift." ”

Ning Junqi glanced at the window, and the heavy curtains on it had been tightly closed, so he didn't insist that he sit on the sofa.

"I closed the curtains in advance, did you know that I was going to visit at night?" Chu Tianqi grinned.

"Don't be sentimental, the wind and sand are too big, and the curtains are closed. Ning Junqi said angrily, then looked at his hands, and said, "By the way, you said that you came to give gifts, seeing that you are empty-handed, it won't just bring a breeze on your sleeves, right?"

Chu Tianqi was startled and said: "Oh, the township elder also knows that his subordinates are incorruptible, and he only has two sleeves and a clean breeze, and he who knows me is also Junqi! Today I came with an heirloom * treasure, and this heirloom * treasure is not light, at least more than 100 catties." ”

Ning Junqi looked at his grinning face and said with a smile: "The heirloom you said can't be you, right? ”

"The leader is really wise, and the heirloom I am talking about is myself, which was passed on to me by my father. How about it? More than 150 pounds, this baby is enough, right? Today, the baby took the initiative to come to the door, and you can dispose of it at will. Chu Tianqi patted his chest and said.

"Liar. Ning Junjiao said coquettishly, "Although I can't say it's a baby, but if I pay seven yuan a catty, I can also get two months' salary, hehe." ”

"What? You sold the baby for a pork price?" Chu Tianqi said suddenly.

Ning Junqi said solemnly: "Okay, let's be serious, what are you doing here?"

"Township Chief, it's all spread outside, haven't you heard about it at all? Otherwise, why wouldn't I see you act?" Chu Tianqi asked.

"I don't know what you're referring to? Ning Junqi said with a smile.

Chu Tianqi also smiled and said, "Recently, it has been rumored that he is going to be promoted to deputy county, but you haven't heard of it?

"Oh, what are you talking about? I heard that, what, do you want to fight for the top position?" Ning Junqi laughed, "You seem to have just been promoted, right?"

"Alright, alright, don't pretend to be confused. Chu Tianqi hurriedly said, "You know what I'm talking about, you haven't thought about that vacant position?"

After listening to Chu Tianqi's words, Ning Junqi didn't answer immediately, and after a while, he said, "What do you say?"

After waiting for a long time, I heard three words, and kicked the ball to myself. Chu Tianqi couldn't help but said: "I think you should take advantage of the trend to get to the * position, and you have a good hope of going to the * position." If that one leaves, you will definitely be left in the township, which is also the general practice. Especially in our township, the development in the past two years has been relatively fast, and there must be leaders who can integrate the old and new teams. You have this specific condition, and you also have this ability, although you have not been here for too long, but you have absolutely no problem controlling the overall situation of the township. Therefore, it is also very beneficial to the work of the whole township to let you be the first leader. ”

"You are not the head of the organization, let alone the secretary of the county party committee, you can be whoever you want?" Ning Junqi said disapprovingly.

Chu Tianqi said with a little dissatisfaction: "What kind of official talk are you still fighting with me? I'm not saying that you should give gifts to run for office, but it's not impossible to show yourself to the leader appropriately, and even recommend yourself, right?"

Ning Junqi was not affected by his emotions, and according to his own train of thought, he said: "Little comrade, now that one is still sitting firmly on the stage. If I recklessly recommend myself, wouldn't it be a usurpation? Besides, I can't pull my feet to do things. ”

"You...... Then if he really leaves, you don't want to go further?" Chu Tianqi asked.

"Don't talk about it, rumors are rumors after all, and doing your job well is fundamental. Ning Junqi obviously didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Chu Tianqi felt a little bored, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"What, you're not happy?" Ning Junqi teased.

"What's upset? It's not that I want to be an official. Chu Tianqi muttered, and then said, "By the way, if he leaves, shouldn't that woman stop?"

Ning Junqi said with a smile: "That's not necessarily, what you can think of, can't people think of it? Be calm and don't be disturbed by rumors." ”

Being in such a hurry, seeing that she still looked like she had nothing to do with herself, Chu Tianqi was a little unhappy, threw down the sentence "boring", and walked out of the township chief's office.
