Office of the Organizing Committee of the Cultural Festival.

More than a dozen computers and a dozen telephones line up on a large round table in the county government's medium-sized conference room.

The staff of the preparatory committee and the temporary personnel were in and out, their steps were hurried, and the telephone calls rang one after another, and the answers to the calls were completely relied on shouting.

It was ten o'clock in the morning, and most of the guests invited by Xia Jinxun in the province and city were confirmed to be invited, but none of them could be called important. The two deputy mayors of Yunhe City agreed to attend, and one of these two was in charge of culture and education, so it would not work if they didn't come; The other is ranked low among the deputy mayors, and his age is almost to the line, so he doesn't have to worry about offending 6 Yi.

Most of the other 20 or so guests are middle-level leaders of provincial, municipal and bureau-level organs. They chose to come to Jinghua to relax and watch the free party during this small long holiday.

As the director of the Preparatory Committee of the Cultural Festival, he invited 6 Yi, Zhao Weiguo, Tao Nan and other leaders of Yunhe City. 6 Yi clearly refused, Zhao Weiguo did not reply, Tao Nan said that he considered it, but so far there has been no movement.

For a moment, he even wondered if Guo Xiaozhou had pushed him to the position of director of the preparatory committee with the intention of making him make a fool of himself, or Guo Xiaozhou had already decided that the main leaders of the city would not attend, so he asked him to fill the hole.

Gu Zhenghai hurriedly walked to Xia Jinxun's seat and whispered: "County Magistrate Xia, I just received a notice from the provincial government office that the provincial leader Cheng Gang has driven out of Wujiang and will arrive in Jinghua at about half past one noon. ”

"Sure?" Xia Jinxun was wearing a crisp black suit, his hair was dyed oily, and there was a suppressed excitement all over his body.

"Sure, I just contacted the secretary of the provincial leadership." Gu Zhenghai nodded in affirmation.

Xia Jinxun said excitedly: "The greeting time must be grasped well, and there must be no business trips." ”

"The county magistrate can rest assured that the welcome convoy organized by the county party committee and county government has long been waiting at the intersection of Huangyang Road, and Wei Zhe and Fu Xiaogang personally supervise the formation, and there will be no mistakes." Compared with Xia Jinxun, Gu Zhenghai undoubtedly knows better what level of VIPs are coming, and he is more confident than Xia Jinxun.

"There is also good news, Director Song Guangming of the Provincial Department of Culture, Director Qiao Weidong of the Provincial Department of Finance, and Director Xue Gaoyang of the Provincial Department of Commerce and Trade left Wujiang at half past eight in the morning, and should be able to rush to Jinghua before lunch, Secretary Guo means, is it you to greet it, and accompany it for Chinese food......"

Xia Jinxun's eyes widened, "Director Song of the Cultural Department, Director Qiao of the Finance Department, and Director Xue of the Commerce and Trade Department have already left, why didn't I know anything beforehand?" ”

"Secretary Guo invited him before, but he was not sure, so he did not announce it in advance." Xia Jinxun explained very tactfully: "I only decided to ...... today."

"I didn't blame Secretary Guo, it's too late to be happy. I'll meet you in a moment. Xia Jinxun exhaled excitedly, and he asked Gu Zhenghai, "These provincial leaders were all invited by Secretary Guo, and they should be ......greeted by Secretary Guo."

"Secretary Guo said that he has another distinguished guest to receive."

Xia Jinxun's pupils shrank suddenly, there are other distinguished guests to receive, is it bigger than Cheng Gang and Song Guangming? He couldn't think of what kind of big man he would be, and the only one who could become strong was the level of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.

If Xia Jinxun would never have believed that Jinghua's cultural energy conservation had invited more than a dozen first-line stars a month ago, and he didn't believe that it could cause such a big sensation, then now, Guo Xiaozhou would not be too surprised if he invited the secretary of the provincial party committee.

After wanting to stop talking, Xia Jinxun asked, "What about the preparation and reception work of the CCTV film crew?" ”

"The director of the Propaganda Department of the CCTV film crew personally received him and followed up 24 hours a day. Another thing, the provincial TV station specially sent a reporting team, saying that it arrived in Jinghua at noon today. ”

"The provincial TV station also came with a film crew?" Xia Jinxun was not calm for a moment, he stood up and wrinkled his brows, "Secretary Guo is even hiding this, isn't it ......?"

"Why, you weren't invited?" Gu Zhenghai looked surprised, "I just reported to Secretary Guo, and he was also confused......

"Oh?" Xia Jinxun quickly sat down and said suspiciously: "Could it be that they took the initiative to report?" Xia Jinxun remembered that he had an old classmate who was an editor at the provincial TV station, so he picked up the phone and dialed it.

"Hello old classmate! I'm Xia Jinxun, Happy New Year's Day! Xia Jinxun said with a smile: "Inquire about something, are you going to come down with a film crew from the provincial station?" There is such a thing, oh, your director also specially sent a few pens over, and the famous host Zhu Ying personally interviewed him...... Oh! I know about this, I just don't know what the formation, live? ”

Next, Xia Jinxun stayed perfunctorily for a few words, put down the phone, and looked at Gu Zhenghai.

"The provincial station wants to broadcast live?" Gu Zhenghai couldn't believe his ears either.

"Could it be Secretary Guo'......"

Gu Zhanghai hurriedly shook his head, "If it was arranged by Secretary Guo, he wouldn't have any reason to pretend......"

Xia Jinxun thought about it, but then another question popped up, "You said that the live broadcast of the provincial station, even if the provincial station itself took the initiative to come down, they have to contact the local government, otherwise all aspects of the preparation work will ......."

Gu Zhenghai immediately called the number of Propaganda Minister Ji Xiaoyun. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked, "Minister Ji, do you know the program team of the provincial TV station?" ”

A minute later, Gu Zhenghai put down the phone and shook his head at Xia Jinxun with a strange expression, "Minister Ji said that she didn't know, she would ask ...... immediately"

In view of the relationship between Gu Zhenghai and Guo Xiaozhou, Xia Jinxun is not good at expressing too in-depth opinions.

The two chatted about the reception work again, and a call came in, and Gu Zhenghai answered the channel: "Minister Ji!" Well...... Some people under the Propaganda Department knew that why they didn't report it was requested by the provincial station, and some people came to Jinghua two days ago to make preparations for filming...... Good! I immediately reported to Secretary Guo and County Magistrate Xia. ”

There was no need for Gu Zhenghai to report, Xia Jinxun also understood.

Provincial TV quietly came to Jinghua. It's a bit counterintuitive.

After Gu Zhenghai left, Xia Jinxun pondered silently for a moment, he called the secretary to the small office next door, and asked softly, "Do you have the phone number of Secretary 6 Yi's secretary?" ”

"Yes, the phone book is all in this phone." The secretary replied.

"In this way, you immediately send a short message to the secretary of the 6th secretary, saying that Cheng Gang, vice governor of the provincial government, Song Guangming, director of the Department of Culture, Qiao Zhidong, deputy director of the Department of Finance, and Xue Gaoyang, deputy director of the Department of Commerce and Trade, will attend the opening ceremony of the Haixiu Cultural Festival."

Xia Jinxun is well aware of the gap between himself and Guo Xiaozhou, personal ability, background, and network resources. So Guo Xiaozhou has the courage and qualifications to fight against 6 Yi, he doesn't.

His news will not hurt Guo Xiaozhou, but also leave a way back for himself on the side of 6 Yi.

Regardless of whether 6 Yi knew this news or not, he would come to Jinghua or not. However, he gave away this favor.

…………

Guo Xiaozhou got on the highway with Chi Dahai at half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon.

On the provincial road, he instructed Chi Dahai to park the car on the side of the road.

After a while, a black Audi sedan slowly pulled over, Guo Xiaozhou strode over, saw the person in the car clearly, he opened the car door, and said respectfully, "Students welcome teachers!" Mrs. ”

Cheng Lifan's face was slightly unhappy, "Xiaozhou, you are busy with work today, why are you coming to pick me up, I'm confused, doesn't the driver know the road?" ”

Guo Xiaozhou smiled and said, "No matter how big the matter is, you have to pick up my teacher......"

Cheng Lifan's face was pale, and just as he was about to speak, Mrs. Cheng Lifan patted Cheng Lao's hand, and said to Guo Xiaozhou with a smile: "Xiaozhou, you don't talk to him more, the older you get, the more stubborn you are." You get in the car......"

"Whoa!" Guo Xiaozhou closed the back seat door and got into the passenger seat.

After the Audi started, Chi Dahai's car followed.

Cheng Lifan still complained in the car: "You don't do anything serious, come to pick me up?" I knew I wasn't coming. Xiao Zhou, you are not a student now, you are a parent official. ”

Guo Xiaozhou snorted, "It's a parent official, a public servant, and your student." ”

Cheng Lifan snorted a few times and looked out the window.

It happened that the vehicle passed by Guangming Village. The greenhouses on both sides are connected one after another, and there are large areas of walnut trees.

Guo Xiaozhou said, "This village is an agricultural demonstration village in our county. The characteristic industries of edible fungi, dried fruit economic forests and pig breeding are relatively good. ”

Cheng Lifan stretched out his head to look, "Get out of the car and take a look......

The driver immediately descended when he heard the sound.

Mrs. Cheng Lifan said: "You are still confused when you say that you are stubborn, I blamed Xiaozhou just now for not picking you up, for fear of wasting his time, you get out of the car to see if it is more delaying Xiaozhou's time." Drive, don't listen to him. ”

"I'll go see it myself, I don't want him to accompany me." Cheng Lifan knew that he was wrong, but he still didn't admit defeat.

Guo Xiaozhou smiled and said, "Teacher! Ziyi is waiting for you and your wife to go to dinner at home. I'll accompany you to see it when I have time. ”

Hearing Ziyi's name, Cheng Lifan's face suddenly soothed, "I saw her last time when she was preparing for the Sunflower Fund in Wujiang. ”

The mother's face also showed joy, "She's about to give birth, where are you going to give birth, what is the level of Jinghua's maternity and children's hospital, it's best to go to the maternal and child health hospital in Wujiang, and when the time comes, I can still find time to take care of her......"

Cheng Lifan retorted: "Why is Jinghua's medical level not good? ”

Guo Xiaozhou saw that the two elders showed signs of a lawsuit, and he immediately changed the topic, "Teacher, have the senior brothers contacted you recently?" ”

Several of his students are mentioned. Cheng Lifan suddenly opened the chatterbox......

Ten minutes later, two cars drove into the gate of Jinghua Sanatorium.

Gan Ziyi, Gao Shuang and Ran Ran stood in front of the fence and looked forward to it.

Guo Xiaozhou got out of the car first and quickly opened the car door for the teacher.

The first to come down was the master's mother, the master's mother saw Gan Ziyi once in Wujiang, and she especially liked Gan Ziyi, this time, she was even more happy to have a flower on her face, holding Gan Ziyi's hand, and kept looking at her big belly, "My eyes are accurate, he is a big fat son." ”

Gan Ziyi affectionately held his wife's arm and said with a smile: "Master! He likes his daughters in our small continent. ”

Cheng Lifan said unceremoniously: "He just talks about it, how can a man not like his son." ”

Gan Ziyi softly shouted, "Teacher! ”

Gao Shuanghe ran and shouted, "Cheng Lao is good! Hello old lady! ”

The master looked at Gao Shuang and Ran Ran, "What a handsome two daughters!" I support Xiaozhou, and my daughter knows that it hurts ......"

A group of people happily walked into the room.

The secretary You Cheng and Shan Biao were helping to serve food outside. Guo Xiaozhou led the two elders to the bathroom, washed their hands and faces, and led one person to the dining table with one hand. Pointing to a bottle of red wine on the table, he said, "This red wine is prepared by Ziyi for your elder, and you and your wife drink half a glass." ”

Cheng Lifan went abroad to engage in academic exchanges in middle age, and he also experienced a lot of big scenes, recognizing the value of this bottle of wine, he looked at Gan Ziyi and smiled, "Okay!" Just half a cup smaller. ”

After a round of drinking, Guo Xiaozhou got up and went to answer a phone call. Back at the table, Cheng Lifan said very strictly: "I don't need you to accompany me, you can hurry up and go about your serious business." ”

This time, the master didn't refute, and also said: "Xiaozhou, you go and do your job, we have Ziyi and these two daughters to accompany ......"

Guo Xiaozhou said, "Okay! I follow orders. I'll pick you up and your wife after dinner. ”

"We have a car, I don't want you to pick it up and send it, let's go." Cheng Lifan waved his hand and drove away.

Guo Xiaozhou glanced at Shan Biao, and Shan Biao got up
