Xia Xiang said modestly: "Mayor Hu has won the award, where will I comment on calligraphy?" It's just that I feel like seeing good words. Mayor Hu has a good eye, I did learn calligraphy since I was a child, but the writing is not strong, but I have seen a lot of calligraphers' famous posts, so I have developed a bad habit, I can't walk when I see the calligraphy I like, so Mayor Hu smiled. ”

"Being too modest is pride, Xiao Xia, young people must stay vibrant, dare to speak more, don't be afraid of mistakes, only dare to say and dare to do will there be progress, isn't it?" Hu Zengzhou looked at Xia Xiang with blazing eyes, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

Xia Xiang saw it in his eyes, and became more sure of his guess in his heart, and said: "In the future, I must strive to improve my work level under the leadership of Mayor Hu and Secretary Li, and live up to the trust of the leadership." ”

Hu Zengzhou pretended to be unhappy and said: "Didn't I say it just now, I won't talk about work today, just chat and talk often, by the way, Xiao Xia, how old is this year?" Where is your hometown? What major? ”

Hu Zengzhou put down his identity as mayor, like an elder cares about his junior, asked a lot of irrelevant questions, and even jokingly asked him if he had a girlfriend. And Xia Xiang answered every question he asked, and answered every question of Hu Zengzhou very respectfully, and the relationship between the two seemed to be between a question and an answer, which was a lot closer.

Xia Xiang couldn't know what Hu Zengzhou was thinking, so when he felt that the heat was about the same, he lost no time in leading the topic to the words on the wall: "By the way, Mayor Hu, I have copied their works for all the calligraphy in China, and I can also see one or two of their handwriting, the words on this wall already have everyone's atmosphere, but they are not signed, I don't know which famous artist's work it is?" ”

"What a master? Hehe, a nobody in the world of calligraphy. I don't know if it's because of drinking, or because of excessive excitement, Hu Zengzhou's face is full of red light, his eyebrows are shaking when he speaks, and his face is full of energy, "It's the words of an old friend of mine for many years, I think the writing is passable, so-so, so I hung it here and used it to encourage myself." Speaking of which, it's been hanging here for a long time.,Others say a few good at most.,What are the specific benefits.,I can't say.,Only Xiao Xia, you still have some opinions.,The comments are the head.。 But in my opinion, although it's quite pertinent, it's still over, it's still too good, hehe......"

Li Dingshan drank a cup alone, lowered his head, and slowly showed a strange smile on his face, thinking that Xia thought about this young man, it was really uncomfortable, but not to mention that it was really a good material.

Niu Xinliang laughed on the side, but his smile was a little stiff, and he looked at Xia Xiang coldly, eager to step forward and kick him away and let him stay as far away as possible. He has been with Hu Zengzhou for five years, Hu Zengzhou has never talked and laughed with him like this, he has always been a businessman, occasionally joking, and there is always a faint feeling of deliberately keeping a distance in his enthusiasm, where is talking to Xia Xiang now, it is as cordial as pulling a family, and he can't help but be jealous.

Niu Xinliang's expression Xia wanted to take in the bottom of his eyes, and he also saw his unhappiness. Xia Xiang secretly felt sorry for Niu Xinliang, as a secretary, it is not that he can't have his own principles, but at least when he is with the leader, everything must be done according to the leader's preferences, even if it does not obviously reveal flattery and flattery, it is necessary not to go against the boss. Niu Xinliang's smirk can even be seen by him, Hu Zengzhou has been immersed in silver officialdom for many years, his eyes are like torches, and his heart must be the same as Spiegel.

In the end, the guests and hosts were happy, and when they parted, Hu Zengzhou held Li Dingshan's hand and said: "The municipal party committee and municipal axe welcome Secretary Li to come to Ba County to serve, and if there are any difficulties in the future, they will be raised, and the municipal party committee and municipal axe will think of solving them." Tomorrow, I will report to the municipal party committee and meet with Secretary Shen, and then I will be accompanied by people from the organization department to the county to carry out work as soon as possible and raise the economy of Ba County to a new level. ”

From beginning to end, Hu Zengzhou did not mention his personal support for Li Dingshan, which made Li Dingshan somewhat disappointed. When Hu Zeng left on Monday, the three of them found a hotel to live in, but did not live in the guest house of the municipal party committee and municipal axe, because they were worried about letting Shen Fuming know that they were secretly in contact with Hu Zengzhou.

Sitting in the car, the joy in Hu Zengzhou's heart has not yet dissipated. It's been three or four years, and there are no less than 100 people of all kinds who have brought him to eat in the Anding Garden of the Purple Qi Pavilion, including businessmen, high-ranking officials, and cultural authorities, but none of them are so attracted by the words hanging on the wall that they can't leave, so that he always thinks that his handwriting is too ugly to handle. Having the heart to take it down, but he couldn't hold back the appreciative psychology hidden in his heart, so he had to sigh, as the mayor, he wrote a good handwriting, but he couldn't sign his name in a grand manner, if he let others praise him on the title of mayor, I don't know if it's sincere, it's also a pity.

It seems that practicing calligraphy in his spare time is the patent of the old man of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Hu Zengzhou still hides a little selfishness in his heart, and he doesn't want others to know that he loves calligraphy, and he doesn't want unfavorable rumors to flow out. But he is a vassal and elegant person, and he is very confident in the words he writes, so he thought of a compromise method, hanging it in Andingyuan, not signing, and letting others guess and secretly appreciate it, to see how many people know the goods.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, someone had said a few good things before, but they were all general, obviously not to the point. And Xia Xiang, such a young man, commented on his calligraphy very pertinently, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed by everyone's demeanor, and almost introduced Xia Xiang as a confidant on the spot. A person who has been practicing calligraphy secretly for more than ten years thinks that calligraphy is just a leisure activity for self-entertainment and cultivating affection, and he also longs to be recognized by others. I want to be recognized by others but can't say it clearly, my heart has been itching uncomfortably, and suddenly a young man who is too young comes and talks about his itch in a few words, how can he not be excited about making his dream come true?

Hu Zengzhou closed his eyes slightly, enjoying this sudden sense of accomplishment very much, and unconsciously a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Niu Xinliang sat in the front row, secretly glanced back at Hu Zengzhou's expression, and the dissatisfaction in his heart couldn't help but say: "Mayor Hu, Secretary Li has the intention of taking refuge in you, he is quite sincere, but his secretary is of average level, he is distracted in front of the leader, and he also comments on calligraphy indiscriminately, as if he has a lot ......of ability, it is simply nonsense."

Hu Zengzhou opened his eyes suddenly, said unhappily: "It's ...... to talk a lot" and then said to the driver, "Xiao Wang, put the calf down in front, I have something else, let him go back first!" ”

Niu Xinliang's heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden.

In the hotel room, Xia Xiang sat down to drink tea, Li Dingshan was not very interested, he thought that Hu Zengzhou agreed to go to the banquet, which showed an attitude, even if it was just a vague statement, it would make him feel at ease, who thought that Hu Zengzhou was just chatting, not mentioning his support for his work at all, and not even mentioning Song Chaodu's name, what did he mean? Has he forgotten the grace of the Song Dynasty, is it possible that Hu Zengzhou is short-sighted to the point of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?

Of course, it is not surprising that it is not uncommon to cross the river and tear down bridges in the officialdom, but Song Chaodu is still the Minister of Agriculture and Industry of the Provincial Party Committee, and Hu Zengzhou does not give any face at all?

Li Dingshan looked at Xia Xiang, who was sitting on the side drinking tea, and suddenly smiled: "Xiao Xia, Secretary Niu seems to have an opinion on you?" ”
