Shi Qin's last sentence touched Zhao Changshan a lot, that is, he didn't think about himself, but also for his wife and son......

Zhao Changshan's eyes slowly changed from confusion to firmness, and he finally made a decision.

……

Leisurely days always pass so quickly.

After nearly half a month of negotiations, Gu Li finally reached an agreement with Blue Ocean City, and the two sides signed a long-term cooperation treaty.

After the mission, Guli's next step was to return to Lizhou City.

To tell the truth, Ma Xiaoyao was really reluctant to let Gu Li go back, but he couldn't stop him......

On the night before the separation, Ma Xiaoyao and Gu Li went crazy all night, and the two kept doing the most primitive actions without resting all night...... The next day, after sending Gu Li away, Ma Xiaoyao's whole person suddenly became lost, and after a long time, his mood slowly recovered.

In the afternoon, Ma Xiaoyao returned to Dongcheng County by car, and when he arrived in Dongcheng County, it was already dark, and it was time to get off work, so Ma Xiaoyao did not go to the county government, but returned directly to his residence, and then led Lei Dazhuang out to eat a hot pot.

……

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, Ma Xiaoyao came to the county government early, drank a cup of tea, smoked a cigarette, and then concentrated and started working.

"Crunch!"

The door of the office was pushed open, and the secretary Wang Xiaolong walked in lightly: "Leader, Deputy County Magistrate Zhao is here, saying that he has something to see you......" Wang Xiaolong's voice was very soft, for fear of frightening Ma Xiaoyao, I have to say that this Wang Xiaolong is still very careful.

"Zhao Changshan is here?" Ma Yao was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Let him in." ”

Wang Xiaolong nodded, turned around and walked out, and after a while, Wang Xiaolong led Zhao Changshan into the office, and after pouring Zhao Changshan a cup of tea, Wang Xiaolong retreated with interest.

Ma Xiaoyao glanced at Zhao Changshan, who looked haggard: "Deputy County Magistrate Zhao, your face is very bad, are you not feeling well?" ”

"It's okay, it's just that I haven't slept very well these days." Zhao Changshan shook his head slightly.

"Do you smoke?" Ma Xiaoyao took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to Zhao Changshan.

"Thank you." Zhao Changshan took the cigarette, lit it and smoked it.

Ma Xiaoyao also lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth: "Deputy County Magistrate Zhao, what are you looking for me?" Seeing that Zhao Changshan was just smoking vigorously and didn't speak, Ma Xiaoyao had no choice but to ask out loud.

"Thank you!" Zhao Changshan was silent for a moment and said slowly.

Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "Thank you?" Thank me for what? ”

"Woo ......" Zhao Changshan lightly exhaled a puff of smoke: "Thank you for arranging for my wife Shiqin to go to work in the Finance Bureau, and thank you for letting my son Xiaohu go back to school." ”

"Oh, you mean that." Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "Our colleagues, I should help you, don't take it too seriously." ”

Zhao Changshan shook his head: "Deputy County Magistrate Ma...... Can you listen to me say a few words from my heart? ”

"Absolutely." Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "You say, I'll listen." ”

Zhao Changshan took a few puffs of cigarette and said slowly: "You framed me, let Li Ming misunderstand me, and caused me a lot of trouble...... I really hate you, but I thank you a little bit for helping my wife get a job and my son back to school...... Contradictory, I'm really conflicted! ”

"Deputy County Magistrate Zhao, you have been in the officialdom for so many years, you should understand the battle here, in fact, there are some things that I am also very helpless, I hope you can understand." Ma Yao sighed.

Zhao Changshan waved his hand: "Let the previous things pass, I don't want to mention it again, from today onwards, I ...... Standing on the same front with you, only you are the first to look forward. ”

Ma Yao was stunned: "You...... You're not kidding me, are you? ”

"Do you think I'm joking?" Zhao Changshan pouted.

"Haha......" Ma Xiaoyao suddenly laughed: "Okay, okay, Deputy County Magistrate Zhao, I won't say anything else, I'll just tell you: You cooperate with me, and you will never regret it!" And you won't lose! ”

"I hope so." Zhao Changshan said noncommittally: "Okay, that's all I have to say, there's nothing else, I'll go back first." ”

"Okay, do you have some time to eat in the evening?" Ma Xiaoyao invited.

"I have something to do in the evening, let's do it another day." Zhao Changshan politely refused.

"Okay, then another day." Ma Xiaoyao was not angry because of Zhao Changshan's refusal, but sent Zhao Changshan out of the office with a smile on his face, and the corners of Ma Xiaoyao's mouth slowly curled up when he saw the back of Zhao Changshan leaving.

finally dug up Zhao Changshan, so that his strength would increase greatly, and similarly, Li Ming's strength would also decrease.

At present, those who support Ma Xiaoyao include Cheng Wenyong, secretary of the county party committee, Hua Dekai, deputy secretary of the county party committee, Zhuang Hu, director of the organization department, and Zhao Changshan, deputy county magistrate who has just returned to his heart, and those who support Li Ming, Yan Mingli, director of the propaganda department, Ye Xiaotian, secretary of the political and legal committee, Zhao Zilong, minister of armed forces, Luo Chuan, deputy county magistrate, and Luo Mingzhang, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, have always remained neutral.

After careful calculation, Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming can only have a draw at present, and it is still a little difficult for Ma Xiaoyao to defeat Li Ming.

Ma Xiaoyao closed the door, turned around and walked to the desk, sat on the office chair, skillfully took out a cigarette, lit it and smoked it, Ma Xiaoyao leaned on the back of the chair, smoking a cigarette while secretly thinking about dealing with Li Ming in his mind.

"Jingle Bell ......"

A hurried ringing phone interrupted Ma's thoughts.

Ma Xiaoyao frowned, reached out and grabbed the microphone and put it to his ear: "Hey? ”

"Xiaoyao, it's me." Cheng Wenyong's voice came out of the microphone: "Li Ming came to me just now, or because of the candidate for the director of the county party committee office, Li Ming's attitude was very bad, I quarreled with him for a few words, and finally Li Ming proposed to convene a meeting of the standing committee to let the eleven standing committee members vote for the director of the county party committee office." ”

"You promised?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.

"Promised." Cheng Wenyong let out a breath: "Li Ming was aggressive and had a very bad attitude, and finally I agreed in a fit of anger." ”

"Oh......" Ma Yao nodded: "If you agree, you can agree, anyway, I've been preparing about the same recently." ”

"Xiaoyao, are you really ready?" Cheng Wenyong asked uneasily: "Now most of the Standing Committee members are supporting Li Ming's ......."

"Hehe......" Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "Secretary Cheng, just look at it, this time I must make Li Ming lose face!" ”

"I hope you don't disappoint me then." Cheng Wenyong said with a smile.

"You won't be disappointed." Ma Xiaoyao smiled slightly.

The two chatted for a few words and ended the call.

Ma Xiaoyao put down the microphone and chirped: "Li Ming, haven't you been very good lately?" This time, I'll give you a taste of being slapped in the face! ”

……

After getting off work in the evening, Ma Xiaoyao received a call from Liu Siqi.

"Big brother, I miss you so much." As soon as the phone was connected, Liu Siqi began to tell her feelings of missing Ma Xiaoyao.

"Siqi, I miss you too." Ma Yao smiled.

"Really?" Liu Siqi's tone was a little surprised.

"Of course, when did I lie to you?" Ma Xiaoyao said.

"Since you miss me, why don't you come abroad to see me?" Liu Siqi said.

Ma Xiaoyao's feet swayed, and he almost rolled down the stairs, he hurriedly stabilized his body, and said with a wry smile: "Siqi...... I'm very busy at work...... And you have to get a passport when you go abroad, which is very troublesome......"

"Look at you, I was joking with you just now, you actually took it seriously, hehe......" Liu Siqi laughed.

The corner of Ma Xiaoyao's mouth twitched: "You girl......"

"Big brother, how are you doing lately? Is it good to eat? Did you sleep well? Is the work going well? Liu Siqi asked several questions in one breath, but in fact, it boils down to one question.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Ma Xiaoyao said: "It's you, how are you doing?" How's your father's illness healing? ”

"It's okay." Liu Siqi said: "My father's condition has stabilized, and he relies on medicine to recuperate his body every day...... During this time, my dad has been in a bad mood, often alone in a daze, and then a nurse in the hospital and my dad became familiar, and the two became good friends who talked about everything, and now with this nurse to chat, my dad's mood began to slowly improve, and there were more smiles on his face. ”

"That's good." Ma Yao nodded.

After chatting for more than half an hour, Ma Xiaoyao put away his mobile phone, walked out of the office building quickly, and left the county government in a car.

……

By the time the horse returned to his lodgings, it was already half past six in the evening.

"Brother Ma, you're back." Lei Dazhuang put down the TV remote control and stood up from the sofa.

"Well, wait until I wash my face, and then we'll go out to dinner." Ma Xiaoyao walked into the bathroom, washed his face with cold water, and then led Lei Dazhuang out of the house, after coming out of the family courtyard, the two found a small restaurant nearby, asked for a few side dishes and a bottle of liquor, and then ate and drank with laughter.

"Brother Ma, the driving school will take the test tomorrow." Lei Dazhuang said.

"Oh, is it? How many exams are you taking? Ma Xiaoyao asked casually.

"The second item, the third item will be taken next month, and then you can get the certificate." Lei Dazhuang replied.

Ma Xiaoyao picked up a piece of hairtail fish and put it in Lei Dazhuang's bowl: "Is it big?" ”

"Well, it should be no problem, I've been practicing diligently these days, and the coach has praised me for being smart, hehe......" Lei Dazhuang grinned.

"That coach is quite discerning." Ma Xiaoyao picked up his wine glass: "Come, cheers, I wish you a smooth exam tomorrow!" ”

Lei Dazhuang picked up the wine glass, touched it lightly with Ma Yaoyao, and drank it all with his neck up.

Next, the two talked about some light-hearted topics and interesting places, and the two couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
