After Wu Zhongzheng handed over a large part of Xue Fei's work to Pan Zhaofeng, Xue Fei now only had one job left, serving Jiang Shan wholeheartedly. And Jiang Shan always looked cold when facing Xue Fei, which couldn't help but make Xue Fei always be cautious in his work, and he didn't dare to be sloppy.

This Thursday, Jiang Shan will go to Qihe City Bus Company and Mengli County to conduct research, and the time of the day is very tight, which is also the last time Jiang Shan will go down to investigate this year.

After Xue Fei learned the news on Monday, he went to Jiang Shan's office to ask questions about the entourage, and then drew up a list of personnel, among which Xue Fei was accompanied all day. On Tuesday, the list was handed over to Jiang Shan, who agreed after reading it.

On Thursday morning, after all the entourage had gathered at the city hall, they took the Iveco to the city bus company.

Research is nothing more than a visit to a meeting, and whether it can solve some practical problems is another matter.

When they arrived at the bus company, in addition to visiting and holding meetings, Jiang Shan, Xue Fei and others also took the No. 20 bus to inspect the operation, and it was already noon after the inspection.

The bus company originally planned to arrange for everyone to stay for dinner, but Jiang Shan refused on the grounds that he would go to Mengli County for research in the afternoon. After sending the rest of the entourage away, only Jiang Shan and Xue Fei were left.

Xue Fei proposed to find a nearby restaurant to eat, and then asked the driver to go back to the city government after eating to pick up the entourage who went to Mengli County for investigation in the afternoon, and the two of them waited at the hotel.

Xue Fei wanted to find a better restaurant, he spent money to invite Jiang Shan to a meal, and by the way, he was also close to Jiang Shan to get in touch with his feelings. But Jiang Shan didn't give him this opportunity, Jiang Shan stretched out his hand and pointed to the ramen restaurant across the road, and said Let's go over and eat a bowl of noodles. The leader said to eat noodles, how dare Xue Fei say that he would eat anything else, so he had to follow Jiang Shan across the street to the ramen restaurant.

Two large bowls of beef ramen and two side dishes, Xue Fei and Jiang Shan sat down and ate them.

In the process of eating noodles, Xue Fei tried to talk to Jiang Shan, but Jiang Shan didn't pick up stubble, and responded with words like "um" and "ah", and Xue Fei didn't dare to say it again after saying two or three sentences, for fear that it would cause Jiang Shan's disgust.

After eating the noodles, when Xue Fei was about to go to the checkout, Jiang Shan told Xue Fei that it was okay to only pay for his own, and he would pay his own share, and then took out his wallet and settled his share of the noodles.

Jiang Shan kept his distance from Xue Fei like this, which made Xue Fei feel uncomfortable and helpless. For such a long time, Xue Fei observed that Jiang Shan was with other people, most of the time he was talking and laughing, and he didn't have any deputy mayor's swagger, but he was treated differently, and he really couldn't understand why it was like this.

In the afternoon, I went to Mengli County, accompanied by leaders of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, the Municipal Commission of Industry and Information Technology, the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau and other departments, mainly to investigate the industrial projects, industrial economic development, investment promotion and project reserves in Mengli County.

The Mengli County Party Committee and the county government learned that Jiang Shan was coming, the county party secretary, the county magistrate and the leaders of relevant departments were all dispatched, and Iveco had not yet arrived at the gate of the county party committee and county government, and saw a lot of people gathered at the gate, which showed the importance of Jiang Shan's arrival.

After Iveco stopped at the gate, Jiang Shan was the first to get out of the car, and with a smile on his face, he shook hands cordially with the leaders of the Mengli County Party Committee and County Government who were waiting to greet him.

When Jiang Shan came to the front of Liu Xiangdong, director of the Mengli County Investment Promotion Bureau, Liu Xiangdong's facial expression was a little exaggerated, he looked very excited, held Jiang Shan's hand with both hands, shook it and said: "Hello Mayor Jiang, I am Liu Xiangdong, director of the China Merchants Bureau, do you remember me?" ”

Liu Xiangdong nodded and said, "Remember, we met." ”

Liu Xiangdong was even more excited when he heard that Jiang Shan still remembered him: "Then you must still remember the copy of "Twenty-five Years of Wind and Cloud" that you lent me, right?" ”

Because of his work, Liu Xiangdong had two close contacts with Jiang Shan. The second time was in Jiang Shan's office, Liu Xiangdong saw a book on the desk "Twenty-five Years of Wind and Clouds", which talks about the growth and development of domestic enterprises to the market and the world in the past 25 years of reform and opening up. In order to get close to Jiang Shantao, Liu Xiangdong said at that time that he had always wanted to read this book, but he had been busy with work and did not find time to buy it in the bookstore, so he borrowed this book from Jiang Shan. It's just a book, and Jiang Shan didn't pay attention to it, so he lent it to him.

In fact, Jiang Shan didn't want to go back at all, and he almost forgot about this stubble, and as soon as Liu Xiangdong reminded him, he remembered that there was such a thing.

Jiang Shan didn't say anything, just shook hands with the next person with a "hmm".

Xue Fei was by Jiang Shan's side, and he heard the conversation between Jiang Shan and Liu Xiangdong clearly.

After meeting the leaders of the county, Jiang Shan and Xue Fei and their entourage conducted on-the-spot inspections of the exhibition hall of Mengli County Economic Development Zone, Xingli Biotechnology, Wumart Food, Meiyuan Zhihe Biological Pharmaceutical, Oasis Food and other enterprises, learned in detail about the production scale, technological process, product sales market and other aspects of the enterprise, and praised the industrial economic operation and industrial project planning work in Mengli County.

At the forum, the secretary of the Mengli County Party Committee and the county magistrate each gave a brief introduction to the county's plans for the development of the industrial economy.

By the end of the meeting, it was late afternoon, and it was almost dark outside.

The secretary of the Mengli County Party Committee and the county magistrate strongly urged Jiang Shan and Xue Fei to stay for dinner, but Jiang Shan refused on the grounds that there was something at home at night.

Coming out of the conference room, Xue Fei went to the bathroom to make it easier. When he left the office building and was about to get in the car and leave, a person stopped Xue Fei.

"Secretary-General Xue stays."

Xue Fei looked back and saw that it was Liu Xiangdong.

Although he had no close contact with Liu Xiangdong throughout the afternoon, through the previous conversation between Liu Xiangdong and Jiang Shan, Xue Fei still had a certain impression of Liu Xiangdong.

"Is there something wrong with Director Liu?" Xue Fei asked with a smile.

"I borrowed a book from Mayor Jiang before, and I asked Secretary General Xue to give this book back to Mayor Jiang for me." Liu Xiangdong handed a book to Xue Fei, and Xue Fei saw that it was "Twenty-five Years of Wind and Cloud".

"Why didn't Director Liu personally hand it over to Mayor Jiang?" Xue Fei didn't answer.

"I borrowed this book from Mayor Jiang, and it stands to reason that I should have returned it personally, but so many leaders in the county are watching it, it's not very good, so I'll trouble Secretary General Xue to do me a favor, is it okay?" Liu Xiangdong looked at Xue Fei with begging eyes and said.

Xue Fei was a little hesitant, but when he thought that there was indeed such a thing as borrowing books, he just helped hand them over to Jiang Shan, and with a show of his hand, he agreed.

Taking the book from Liu Xiangdong's hand, Xue Feixin was still relatively fine, he didn't take it and left, but looked through it, and saw that there was nothing in it, so he took the book and got into the car.

Xue Fei didn't give the book to Jiang Shan right away, and he was afraid that the other people in the car would think too much when they saw it, so he thought about it when he returned to the city.

Mengli County is very close to Qihe City, half an hour's drive away. Back at the city government, since it was not yet time to get off work, Jiang Shan went back to his office, and Xue Fei then took the book and went over.

"Mayor Jiang, Director Liu of the Mengli County Investment Promotion Bureau said that I borrowed a book from you before, and returned it to you in front of the county leaders, I am afraid that others will think too much, so I will ask you to return it to you." Xue Fei put the book on his desk as he spoke.

"Hmm." Jiang Shan answered, he looked at the book, and then took it in his hand and flipped it up.

"Then I'll go out first." As soon as Xue Fei was about to leave, Jiang Shan stopped him.

"Wait a minute, what's going on?" Jiang Shan's face suddenly turned pale, and he pointed to the back of the book and asked.

Xue Fei was shocked when he saw it, there was a card in the back of the book, Xue Fei picked it up and saw that it was a shopping card, which was fixed by double-sided tape in the back of the mouth, and suddenly Xue Fei frowned, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Xue Fei was afraid that there would be entrainment in the book, so he flipped through the book in front of Liu Xiangdong, but unfortunately he was still careless and didn't find the shopping card hidden inside.

"Mayor Jiang, I'm ......" Xue Fei was about to explain, but Jiang Shan interrupted him.

"How do you work? There is a shopping card in the book, don't you know what the nature of this is? This is bribery, fortunately I flipped through the book and found it in time, if I didn't find out and took the book, I was taking bribes, I can't afford this crime, and then the Commission for Discipline Inspection will find me, count it yours, or count it mine? Jiang Shan said angrily.

"I'm sorry Mayor Jiang, I didn't know there would be something in the book, and if I knew, I wouldn't have been able to transfer it for Liu Xiangdong. It was me who was too careless, it was my dereliction of duty that I didn't do my job well. Xue Fei lowered his head and admitted his mistake, at this moment he hated Liu Xiangdong in his heart.

"As the secretary general of the city government, you would make such a mistake, which is too low-level and too inconsistent with your identity. How you got this book, you can take it back to me, and you go back tonight to write a check and give it to me tomorrow, it must be profound! Jiang Shan patted his desk and said.

"I see." Xue Fei responded.

When he came out of Jiang Shan's office, Xue Fei called Xue Jiaqiang and told him to prepare a car immediately and take him to Mengli County.

On the way to Mengli County, Xue Fei's face was ugly, and he regretted the shopping card matter.

How could you make such a mistake yourself? It's really too low-level, and he almost became Liu Xiangdong's accomplice in bribes, it seems that he can't be enthusiastic about helping in everything in the future, and he may get himself into it if he doesn't do it.

Xue Jiaqiang didn't know what was going on, and when he saw that Xue Fei's face was not good-looking, he didn't say anything, just drove intently.

When he arrived in Mengli County and saw Liu Xiangdong, Xue Fei stuffed the book in his hand into Liu Xiangdong's arms and pushed Liu Xiangdong to a foot, he didn't say anything, because things had already happened, he couldn't scold Liu Xiangdong, let alone stretch out his hand to fight, so he just glared at Liu Xiangdong viciously, and then got in the car and left.

Back in the city, Xue Fei and Xue Jiaqiang found a restaurant, because they were in a bad mood, Xue Fei drank a lot of wine that night, and he really cared about this matter. Originally, Jiang Shan looked down on him a little, but Wu Zhongzheng was suppressing him again, and he didn't have a good relationship with his two top bosses, how would he mix up in the city government in the future? And at this time, this happened again, and the relationship with Jiang Shan was undoubtedly worse.

In fact, in the matter of shopping cards, Xue Fei and Liu Xiangdong should be glad that Jiang Shan raised his noble hand, if Jiang Shan handed over the shopping card to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Liu Xiangdong's director of the county investment promotion bureau would not want to do it again. Although Xue Fei's problem will not be so serious, if his dereliction of duty is known to all the people of the municipal party committee and municipal government, it is obviously easy to say that it is not good, so it should be glad that Jiang Shan has made a low-key cold treatment of this matter, and after Xue Fei wrote the inspection and handed it to him, he did not pursue anything.

Because the incident happened close to the Chinese New Year, Xue Fei was not in a particularly good mood during the New Year, but he hid it in his heart and did not let his bad mood affect his family.

During the Chinese New Year, in addition to Xue Fei hiding his bad mood, there was also Xue Yan, because of Chen Yanling's matter, Xue Yan had been very distressed and aggrieved. For this reason, Xue Fei took the opportunity to buy something, pulled Xue Yan out to talk, and told Xue Yan to be patient and calm down, since he promised to investigate the matter clearly, he would definitely do it.

After Xue Hui and Xue Yan got married one after another, the number of times Xue Fei went to their two families to eat, ten fingers could be counted over the years, and the few people who went were obviously not because the relationship between Xue Fei and Xue Hui and Xue Yan was not good, nor did they want to ask Xue Fei to go, but it was really that their other half was more colorful, Ding Guangzhi and Chen Yanling were not the kind of gregarious people, so they didn't have to go, and Xue Fei didn't want to go to their house.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Ding Guangzhi actually made an unprecedented call to Xue Fei and asked Xue Fei and Qu Yuanyuan to go to their house for dinner, Xue Fei was surprised, looked out the window, and the sun didn't come out of the west, what happened to Ding Guangzhi?

Xue Fei refused to go, but Ding Guangzhi insisted on letting him and Qu Yuanyuan go, and gave the phone to Xue Hui, Xue Hui said that she was preparing dinner at home, and told Xue Fei and Qu Yuanyuan that they had to go, if they didn't go, she would be unhappy, Xue Fei had to agree to go over to eat when he heard it.

On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, when the family was reunited for dinner, Qu Yuanyuan gave Xin'er five hundred yuan to suppress the New Year's money, it stands to reason that she and Xue Fei are not married, this New Year's money can not be given at all, but in Qu Yuanyuan's heart, she already regards herself as a member of the Xue family, as an elder, it is appropriate to give the New Year's money. Originally, she wanted to give a thousand, but Xue Fei did not agree, and finally after some bargaining with Xue Fei, she finally decided on five hundred.

Thinking of the New Year's money, Xue Fei suspected that Ding Guangzhi was looking for him and Qu Yuanyuan to eat, probably to repay the favor, and he didn't want to owe them anything. Xue Fei felt that if this was the case, Ding Guangzhi would be too boring.

Qu Yuanyuan went to Xue Hui Ding Guangzhi's house for the first time, and it was the Chinese New Year, so it was not good to go empty-handed, so the two of them went to the supermarket to buy four things.

After entering the house and saying hello, Qu Yuanyuan wanted to go into the kitchen to help Xue Hui cook, but Xue Hui didn't let her, so she chatted with Ding Guangzhi in the living room for a while. After a short time, all the food was placed on the table, and everyone washed their hands and sat around the table.
