On the morning of the first day of the new year, Gu Xiaomei, Cheng Yudong and others accompanied Zhang Zhixing to inspect the Chengnan Industrial Park, and visited several laid-off workers and lonely and widowed families, until noon Zhang Zhixing was sent back to the municipal party committee compound, thinking that since he came over, he would follow Cheng Yudong to go in with Liang Gezhen and Zhang Ke to pay homage to the New Year. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was not until the front of the building that I followed Zhang Zhixing out of the car and walked inside, and before I walked up the steps, I heard Jiang Shangyuan's hearty laughter: "It's good to build a film and television base, you can make full use of the mountain water resources of Xinwu, and also increase the construction of scenic spots......

Liu Jue's voice whispered: "The film market is not prosperous enough, I haven't heard of more than 100 million domestic investment in films, and now a film investment requires a budget of three or four hundred million, can you be sure to recover the investment?" ”

Deputy Mayor Qin Shuanghua's voice was louder: "Century Huayin just signed Song Wanpei, is it just to prepare for the investment in this film?" Don't look at me strangely, my daughter is a fan of Song Wanpei. ”

Gu Xiaomei wondered in her heart: Zhang Zhixing didn't come back, why did Jiang Shangyuan, Liu Jue, and Qin Shuanghua come to the door, who are they talking to? Follow Zhang Zhi in, looking at Jiang Shangyuan, Liu Jue, and Qin Shuanghua, the three smokers in the downstairs living room, Zhang Ke took a cigarette and turned his head sideways and was about to light it for himself, Liang Gezhen snatched the cigarette on the side, and he was not allowed to smoke, and no one else was present.

Seeing them come in, everyone inside invariably stopped the topic just now and stood up.

"Director Jiang, Secretary Liu, and Mayor Qin are all here, so I will happen to pay New Year's greetings to the three of them here......" Gu Xiaomei pretended not to have heard their discussion just now, knowing that they were going to have dinner here, smelling the aroma coming from the direction of the restaurant, and Cheng Yudong and Liang Gezhen and Zhang Ke were ready to leave for the New Year, and the family was still waiting for them to go back for lunch.

"Director Gu stay and have a lunch together," Zhang Ke said suddenly, "Trouble Secretary Cheng will send Aunt Wei back to Xinzha Community by the way," turned back and shouted in the direction of the kitchen, "Aunt Wei, there are not many things left, I'll just do it with my mother......"

Gu Xiaomei was slightly stunned, she was not qualified to stay for dinner on this occasion, especially at noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year, if it weren't for Qin Shuanghua, who was Zhang Zhixing's most staunch adherent and cronie in Xinwu, she would not be qualified to stay and eat, but listening to Zhang Ke's tone was not like polite words, he only kept her, but asked Cheng Yudong to go back to eat and brought Aunt Wei back by the way.

It's just that she really wants to stay down to eat, it seems that it is more appropriate for Zhang Zhixing to open her mouth to stay, she followed Zhang Zhixing just into the door, and Zhang Zhixing didn't know about it.

Gu Xiaomei glanced at Zhang Zhixing and Liu Jue with some hesitation, somewhat at a loss.

"Then stay and eat...... Liu Jue said.

Liu Jue, secretary of the municipal party committee, said so, and Gu Xiaomei naturally stopped refusing.

Cheng Yudong was full of doubts, but it was always a good thing for Gu Xiaomei to stay and accompany the Big Three to dine together at noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he was still a little sour in his heart, so he drove Aunt Wei back to Xinzha Community with the driver first, and thought that Gu Xiaomei might not have time to tell her family that she stayed at Mayor Zhang's house for dinner, so he ran to Gu Xiaomei's house to think about talking to her family.

Cheng Yudong knocked on the door and looked at Gu Xiaomei's house full of people sitting at a table.

Gu Xiaomei's youngest daughter also shouted excitedly: "Mom is finally back, do you hope you can only see her on TV in the future?" When he opened the door and saw Cheng Yudong, he said in surprise, "Uncle Cheng came to our house as a guest, where is my mother?" Yu Jing looked out and didn't see her mother.

"Secretary-General Gu is having dinner at Mayor Zhang's house, Director Jiang and Secretary Liu are here, and I want Secretary-General Gu to stay, I will send Aunt Wei back, and I will stop by and say ......" Cheng Yudong said, taking out two red envelopes from his pocket and stuffing them into Yu Jing's hands, "This is for you and your brother," Seeing that the beautiful girl who showed her face with Gu Xiaomei and Yu Jing on TV yesterday was also sitting on the table, and asked Yu Jing, "Yu Jing, who is this?" ”

"My mother's goddaughter, what, does she also have a red envelope?" Yu Jing asked, "My mother doesn't allow us to accept New Year's red envelopes, or will we leave the red envelopes and return the money to you?" ”

"Uncle Cheng's red envelope is different from other people's, don't listen to your mother, but you are not allowed to think that Uncle Cheng's red envelope is not fat enough," Cheng Yudong took out another red envelope and handed it to Yu Jing, and greeted Yu Wei with a smile, "Then I'll leave first, and I won't disturb your dinner......

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, no one else is usually left to eat, and Yu Wei didn't say anything polite, sent Cheng Yudong away, walked back and sighed, and said: "Alas, I can't rush back for a meal at noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I don't say it in advance, so I want us to wait for her for so long......" Seeing Yu Jing handing out red envelopes there, the amount of money sealed in it was the usual New Year's money for juniors, so he didn't say anything.

"What are you sighing for," Chen Yu said with a smile, "How many officials in Xinwu are looking forward to having the opportunity to dine with the Big Three on the first day of the Lunar New Year, could it be that your Gu Xiaomei is going to soar again?" ”

"Can there be such a good thing?" Yu Wei asked with a smile, there are no old people in either of their families, they got together to eat together on the first day of the new year, and they couldn't imagine that his wife Gu Xiaomei couldn't go home for dinner because of the delay in work, Yu Wei was a little resentful in his heart, thinking that this leader was a little unsympathetic, and he could accompany the leader to eat at any time, how could he leave people on the first day of the new year? Yu Wei felt better than Chen Yu in his heart, if he didn't pay attention to the leaders, it was impossible for him to stay and eat together on the first day of the New Year, "Gu Xiaomei, she has been smooth enough in the past two years, and she will no longer have extravagant hopes if she wants to soar......

Gu Xiaomei's career was the smoothest when she became the secretary of the Party Committee of Xinyu Town, Shangjin County, at a young age, when she was only in her early thirties, and there were not many female cadres in the city, which can be said to be the most popular time. Later, he was hit and was first transferred to the Municipal Women's Federation, and then to the Youth League and Municipal Committee. However, in the past two years, it has suddenly become smooth, and Liu Jue was first transferred to the municipal government as the deputy director of the municipal government office. Liu Jue did not transfer her to the municipal party committee after becoming the mayor's secretary, and thought that she would be rejected by the new mayor Zhang Zhixing and put into the harem again until retirement, but Zhang Zhixing also trusted and respected her very much, and the former director of the government office was transferred to Jiangdong County as the county magistrate, so he recommended her to serve as the director of the government office and the deputy secretary-general at the same time, and suddenly became a hot figure in Xinwu.

There are gains and losses, after Gu Xiaomei is busy with work, she can't take care of her family, fortunately, her youngest daughter Yu Jing is in her first year of junior high school, although her grades are not as good as her brother's, but she is also well-behaved and obedient, Yu Wei's work is not hard, and there is nothing to complain about.

They were eating dumpling hot pot lively, and halfway through the meal, they didn't think Gu Xiaomei would come back.

"Dinner with the leader is over so soon?" Chen Yu asked strangely.

"It's just a meal, there is no other work to do," Gu Xiaomei sighed, "Alas, fortunately, it's over, it's like a nightmare," pulled a chair and sat down, and instructed her daughter Yu Jing, "Bring me a pair of dishes and chopsticks, I can eat ......some more" She didn't know why Zhang Ke opened her mouth to leave her down for lunch, and when she ate lunch, everyone never talked about work, and there were few topics, even if the migrant worker couple was driven out of the car yesterday, no one talked about it, but she took the initiative to mention it, but no one echoed it, and the atmosphere was a little weird, Gu Xiaomei knew that they had some topics that they wanted to deliberately avoid her, but they kept her down to eat, where could she eat with peace of mind? After eating in a hurry, he said goodbye and left. Back in the Xinzha community, the talent relaxed and found that he had not eaten enough at all.

Zhang Ke's attitude is very strange, yesterday she led Yu Wei and Yu Zhu to the door to pay New Year's greetings, and it can even be said that she was indifferent, and today she inexplicably opened her mouth to leave herself to eat lunch together......

Gu Xiaomei took two dumplings from the hot pot and ate them hot, breathing a sigh of relief.

"The Big Three of Xinwu left you down for dinner, I thought you were going to walk back humming a little song," Chen Yu asked with a smile, "Why did you sigh?" ”

Gu Xiaomei sighed and said: "I sent Mayor Zhang back after the inspection work in the morning, I wanted to go over to pay a New Year's greeting by the way, but I didn't expect Mayor Zhang's son Zhang Ke to leave me down for dinner, and then Secretary Liu said again, I can't shirk, I don't have a chance to call and say, Secretary Cheng came to tell you just now?" It's really strange, he didn't open his mouth to keep Secretary Cheng for lunch, and asked Secretary Cheng to send Aunt Wei back for lunch. ”

"Isn't it an impersonal person?" Chen Yu said, "Why did I leave you down to eat?" ”

"Yes," Yu Wei nodded, seeing that it was the mayor who casually left someone to eat, he was inevitably a little disappointed, thinking that Liu Jue was only afraid that he would be a favor when he spoke next, maybe he was afraid that his wife would be embarrassed by being present, and said, "It's really strange, he still had that attitude yesterday?" ”

"......," Chen Yu said jokingly, "Maybe that kid's attitude changed after seeing your daughter on TV yesterday, and at night, didn't Yu Jing call that kid again to pay his respects?" ”

Yu Jing was just about to get excited, but she ruthlessly hit her mother.

"This unpromising kid didn't say a word for a long time while holding the phone," Gu Xiaomei joked, "If people want to take a fancy to it, they should also take a fancy to your Chen Ning...... Didn't you watch a few shots of Chen Ning from the TV station yesterday? You have to be careful, if you broadcast this to the TV station, there will be more people who are worried about your Chen Ning......"

"Aren't you Chen Ning's godmother? Chen Ning will also be your daughter-in-law in the future, if you have to worry about it, you are also worried that such a good daughter-in-law will be snatched away by others, will it be our turn to worry? Chen Yu said jokingly.

"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Ningjiao said angrily, not letting her father talk nonsense there.

Gu Xiaomei glanced at Yu Zhu, who was silent, and thought to herself that Yu Zhu didn't know if she had the ability to take Chen Ning's heart off, but she watched Chen Ning grow up since she was a child, and she also regarded it as her own daughter, and she couldn't bear to be hurt a little bit.

"Really, when will you take me and Sister Chen Ning to find Zhang Ke......" Yu Jing completely ignored her brother's gloomy look, and was excited to pull Chen Ning to take the initiative to send him to the door.

"You're so useless?" Gu Xiaomei took the chopsticks and knocked on the back of Yu Jing's head, "If I'm joking, you take it seriously?" I asked on the side, people don't remember who your sister Chen Ning is, Mayor Zhang's family will go to Tianyun Mountain for a vacation in the afternoon, and they will go back to Haizhou tomorrow, or will you ride a bicycle to Tianyun Mountain in the afternoon to block people's homes? ”

"How could he not remember Sister Chen Ning?" Yu Jing said angrily, "If I were a man, I would never forget it when I looked at Sister Chen Ning, let alone tied her shoelaces......"

"People just don't recognize me." Chen Ning laughed.

Chen Yu asked Gu Xiaomei seriously: "Why did that person leave you for lunch?" It's a little weird. ”

"It's useless to think too much, it's just a Chinese meal, and it won't grow a few catties of meat in a Chinese meal, I suspect that this lunch will lose a few taels of meat after eating......" Gu Xiaomei said with a smile, but she also had doubts in her heart.

Gu Xiaomei is the deputy secretary-general of the municipal government and the director of the government office, even if she stays at the mayor's house for lunch on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there is nothing particularly reminiscent of Pianpian, but at the Central New Year tea party on the third day of the Lunar New Year, the general secretary of the Central Committee clearly put forward several opinions on the local leadership group to further strengthen the training of women cadres, and after the media reported the media, the meal became sensitive.

Just after the news broadcast of the Central New Year Tea Party, rumors began to circulate in the city that Gu Xiaomei was going to serve as the first female deputy mayor of Xinwu.

Xinwu is a small place, and everyone knows that Gu Xiaomei's family and Chen Yu's family still got together to eat hot pot on the sixth night of the Lunar New Year, and Chen Yu also joked with Gu Xiaomei: "I say, that lunch is not simple......

"What's not simple, can the city know that the central government has a new policy two days in advance?" Gu Xiaomei didn't think so, and besides, it wasn't Zhang Zhixing who left her for lunch on the first day of the new year, it was Zhang Ke who suddenly opened his mouth to keep her.

Although there are such and such rumors, Gu Xiaomei believes that this is simply something that is out of bounds, some coincidences, if the rumors are true, then she is stupid.

The two sessions will be held shortly after the Spring Festival, and if there is any wind and grass in the central government at this time, it will soon be pouring rain in the localities. Just after the Spring Festival holiday, the provincial party committee's document on strengthening the training of women leading cadres in the leading bodies of city, city, county, and local governments was quickly sent down to the city, and it was necessary to decide on the candidates before this year's people's congress session and then submit it to the people's congress for election and approval.

No matter what Gu Xiaomei thought in her heart, the rumors in the city became more and more true, and they were almost confirmed.

There is a scarcity of female cadres at the department level in Xinwu, and there are only three or four suitable places in Qu Index. Although Gu Xiaomei has not been transferred to the department level for half a year, the promotion of domestic women cadres is not subject to the rules of "two years to be promoted to deputy positions and three years to be promoted to a full position", plus several other people have been grinding to the department level in the opportunity, and their resumes are more disgraceful than Gu Xiaomei, and the city government must be matched with a female mayor, Gu Xiaomei is not hopeless.

In this context, the meal on the first day of the new year was even more popular. Even if Gu Xiaomei's qualifications are a little shallow, but the three giants support her to the position together, there is really no problem at all, in the minds of ordinary cadres in the city, Gu Xiaomei is definitely the deputy mayor.

As soon as this kind of rumor came out, several other female cadres who were originally qualified to compete with her also retreated: the director of the National People's Congress, the secretary of the municipal party committee, and the mayor all recognized Gu Xiaomei, and they had no chance to participate in the competition unless they could let the secretary of the provincial party committee stand up in person.

Gu Xiaomei knew what was the reason for the change in everyone's attitude towards her in the past few days, but she knew in her heart that rumors were rumors after all, and it was Zhang Ke who opened his mouth to leave her to eat that lunch on the first day of the Lunar New Year, could it be said that Zhang Ke could decide whether she should be the deputy mayor or not? Even if the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee listed her as a target for inspection, she didn't think she would have hope, in the past two years, from an ordinary cadre to the deputy director of the government office to the director and deputy secretary-general, it has been extremely smooth, the deputy mayor is simply a luxury, thinking that since the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee has included her in the scope of inspection and entered the list of candidates, she is only a foil, and the qualifications of several other candidates are not comparable to her.

That's it, Gu Xiaomei never thought that she would have hope, until the eighteenth day of the first month, as soon as the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee ended, Liu Jue asked her to go over to ventilate.

"In the past, when deciding on the candidates for district and county leaders, the threshold had to be leveled, this time it was really strange, the position of deputy mayor was not popular, and I spent my brain thinking about a lot of righteous and strict words that did not come in handy," Liu Jue also rarely spoke in a joking tone with the people below, "The Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee gave you the highest score, and the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee in the afternoon decided to respect the opinions of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, you should make some preparations, the official documents will come down soon, first let you by-elect the alternate members of the Municipal Party Committee and enter the party group of the municipal government...... The election of the deputy mayor shall be passed by the Municipal People's Congress. ”

Coming out of Liu Jue's office, Gu Xiaomei felt that the whole person seemed to be stepping on the clouds and couldn't figure it out, but the cadres of the municipal party committee and municipal government have always taken Gu Xiaomei as the only candidate for deputy mayor for granted, and it was not strange for the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee to make a decision so quickly, after all, it was necessary to finish the level of the party before the first meeting of the Municipal People's Congress this year, and the action would naturally be faster.

Seeing Gu Xiaomei come back from the office of Liu Jue, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, she looked a little distracted, but she was still a little overjoyed when she officially learned the news that she was the deputy mayor, and greeted her cordially, especially those deputy mayors, who called her Xiao Gu before, and everyone will be colleagues in the future, although Gu Xiaomei's position will not be transferred for a while, at this time, she will also be cordially called Director Gu.

Speaking of which, only the secretary-general of the municipal government and the other two deputy secretaries-general have mixed feelings in their hearts, they were able to instruct Gu Xiaomei to do things a few days ago, and in a blink of an eye, they are about to become one of the bosses in the city government, and they secretly feel that this year is really the easiest "ignorant girl" to be promoted, even if they understand that Gu Xiaomei is unlikely to have much real power in her hands when she becomes the deputy mayor, but after all, she is the leader of the municipal government, and the level is different, and it is likely that after becoming the deputy mayor, she will be in charge of the work of the municipal government.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, Gu Xiaomei sat in the office in a daze and pondered this thing that seemed to her to be a little incredible, because Zhang Zhixing was accompanied by Cheng Yudong to the city, she got off work at normal time, and took the car of Vice Minister Xiao of the Municipal Propaganda Department to go home, and she had also taken Vice Minister Xiao's car before, everyone was also very familiar with it, and she got off at the gate of the community, this time she saw the car at the gate of the community, and habitually wanted to get off, but Vice Minister Xiao instructed the driver: "Turn in, go to the front 32 buildings and 2 units downstairs ......"

Gu Xiaomei had to adapt to her new role again, said goodbye to Vice Minister Xiao, and was still thinking about this when she climbed the stairs, thinking about it, and it was really the Chinese meal at Zhang Zhixing's house on the first day of the new year that played a key role.

I don't know who spread the news at that time, but no one came forward to refute the rumors, which invisibly helped her exclude other competitors.

Since everyone believes that she is the candidate favored by Jiang Shangyuan, Liu Jue, and Zhang Zhixing, the investigation of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee is just a formality; Could it be that the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee can still decide on its own to exclude Jiang Shangyuan, Liu Jue, and Zhang Zhixing who are interested in them at the same time?

What puzzled Gu Xiaomei was that it was Zhang Ke who opened her mouth to leave her down for dinner, and Jiang Shangyuan, Liu Jue, and Zhang Zhi did not know about it beforehand, and another point is that the central government made it clear that the new policy on the appointment of women cadres in local government leadership groups was officially announced to the public on the third day of the Lunar New Year......

If the guess is correct, this shows at least two points: the Zhang family has the ability to know the important decisions of the central government in advance, or Zhang Ke personally has enough influence on Jiang Shangyuan and Liu Jue.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the central government officially announced the new policy on the appointment of female local government leaders at the Spring Festival tea party, and rumors in the city that she was going to be the deputy mayor germinated, and Jiang Shangyuan, Liu Jue, and Zhang Zhixing should also be aware of it. The only possibility is that Jiang Shangyuan, Liu Jue, and Zhang Zhixing, whether in public or privately, all adopted an attitude of ignoring and acquiescing, doesn't it mean that Zhang Ke stayed down for lunch at noon on the first day of the new year, and the three of them acquiesced in this choice?

However, Gu Xiaomei herself was in the game, and some problems could not be seen clearly, and it was only when the mystery was revealed that she suddenly realized: Zhang Ke wanted her to be the deputy mayor?

Why? Gu Xiaomei subconsciously took out her mobile phone to call Zhang Ke to ask the reason, she just knew Zhang Ke's contact number from Liang Gezhen a few days ago, and as soon as she dialed the phone, she heard someone talking behind her:

"Hehe, what is Vice Mayor Gu stunned at the staircase!"

Gu Xiaomei turned her head and watched her husband Yu Wei and Chen Yu come up from behind, both of them were carrying a bag full of vegetables, only to know that they also knew that they were going to be the deputy mayor, Chen Yu grinned and wanted to talk again, pinched off the phone, patted his forehead, and said: "I'm tired of climbing the stairs, so I'm not allowed to rest here for a while?" ”
