(Ask for recommendation votes again, I hope everyone's support will be more violent, why don't you thank you.) ）

Could it be that Secretary Niu has an opinion about him? Xia didn't know what to do, thought about it for a while, didn't think there was any conflict with him, and it was the first time they met.

Then I was relieved when I thought about it, everyone has their own unique habits, maybe Mayor Hu doesn't drink the wine poured in other people's hands, he sat back in his seat, nodded and smiled, obviously seeing the disdain in Niu Xinliang's eyes for him. It is also understandable that the mayor's secretary is at least a section-level cadre, and the secretary of the county party committee is said to not even have the qualifications to be equipped with a secretary, and even if he does, it is at most a unit level, or even no level.

Hu Zengzhou pretended not to see what had just happened, and continued to talk to Li Dingshan about some irrelevant topics, such as how Yan City is developing now, what influential articles he has published when he was a national newspaper, whether it is easy to walk on the highway all the way from the capital, etc., but does not mention the main topic. Li Dingshan was impatient and couldn't show it, so he had to deal with it with questions and answers, and he didn't know what Hu Zengzhou meant by talking about some idle articles.

Xia Xiang also knows a little about Hu Zengzhou's resume, knowing that he is a native of Qi Province, a neighboring province, and later admitted to Yan Province University, and after graduating from university, he stayed in Yan Province, entered the political arena, and walked step by step to today, it can be said that he has never left Yan Province, and he is half of Yan Province. Therefore, listening to him always mentioning Yan City and the newspaper office, intentionally or unintentionally, and thinking of the layout and layout of today's Ziqiyuan, he had a vague understanding in his heart.

Xia Xiang took the opportunity to get up and pour water, and when he looked up, he saw a word on the wall, which was a willow brush word, with vigorous pen power and a bit of skill, and wrote a self-encouragement poem: "If you don't come back in the middle of the year, it will be difficult to come again." It is advisable to encourage oneself in a timely manner, and the years do not treat others. It is recorded from one of Tao Yuanming's "Miscellaneous Poems", and there is no signature below.

He was holding a kettle in one hand and a teapot in the other, standing in front of the word in a daze, and did not move his steps for a long time, Li Dingshan blamed and said: "Xiao Xia, what's the matter, quickly add water to Mayor Hu, don't be stunned." ”

Niu Xinliang didn't like Xia Xiang very much from the first time they met, because he could see that Li Dingshan's importance to Xia Xiang was far greater than Hu Zengzhou's trust in him, and Xia Xiang was still too young, a hairy young man in his early 20s was a secretary to the secretary of the county party committee? It's too young to be a driver! What does the secretary do, is a combination of carefulness, thoughtfulness, patience and ability, is the mouthpiece of the leader, is the spokesperson of the leader's image, he is so young, he knows what is called the details of the effort, the subtleties of the level? It takes at least three or five years of study to develop the ability to fully understand the intentions of leadership.

When Niu Xinliang was 26 years old, he was selected by Hu Zengzhou, the then secretary of the county party committee, from the secretary department to become his secretary. Later, Hu Zengzhou was promoted to deputy mayor and then mayor, and he has always been by Hu Zengzhou's side, and the rank has also been promoted from deputy section to main department, but what has always made him uneasy is that although Mayor Hu is not bad to him, he has never regarded him as a confidant, and there is always a faint sense of alienation.

Although he is also the head of the comprehensive section of the political axe office, he yearns for the position of deputy director of the political axe office. What disappointed him was that since he was promoted to the section level, Hu Zengzhou seemed to have forgotten his requirements for advancement, and put him in the position of the section level for three years, and there was no movement to be promoted to the top half level.

Today, when he saw the young secretary of the county party committee and the younger secretary, as well as the secretary's incomparable trust in the secretary, and then thought of his bleak future, Niu Xinliang had an indescribable boredom with Xia Xiang, perhaps he didn't want to admit that he was actually jealous that Xia Xiang was appreciated by Li Dingshan at such a young age, even if Xia Xiang did not have any rank now, but the promotion of section-level cadres could be directly decided by the county party secretary.

People's psychology is indeed strange sometimes, just because Niu Xinliang feels that Xia wants to be the secretary of the county party committee, which is much younger than him at that time, and his mentality is inevitably a little out of balance. When Xia Xiang stood in front of a picture of words stupidly, forgetting the responsibility of a secretary, and only caring about appreciating it inappropriately, he finally couldn't help laughing, got up and took the kettle from Xia Xiang's hand, refilled the water for Hu Zengzhou and Li Dingshan, and said in a tone of a passerby: "Xiao Xia is still young, Mayor Hu and Secretary Li don't blame him, everyone is like this, young people need time to grow up." When I first started working as a secretary to Mayor Hu, I made many mistakes, and thanks to Mayor Hu's magnanimity and giving me the opportunity to make corrections, I have a little bit of maturity today. ”

Niu Xinliang's words not only quietly put a high hat on Hu Zengzhou, but also seemed to be kind enough to speak for Xia Xiang, and at the same time implied that he had been with Hu Zengzhou for a long time, as for how Hu Zengzhou and Li Dingshan interpreted, of course he hoped that Mayor Hu would remember his credit.

Hu Zengzhou smiled and said nothing, Li Dingshan looked angry, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand Xia Xiang for a few words, but Xia Xiang admitted his mistake first: "I'm sorry, Secretary Li, I was distracted for a while." I'm sorry, Mayor Hu, for making you smile. The main thing is that these words are written extraordinarily expressively, quite with the charm of willow style, although there is no signature, but it seems to be the handwriting of a calligrapher. ”

Hu Zengzhou looked at Xia Xiang with interest: "Xiao Xia also knows calligraphy?" Let's talk about it, what are the advantages and disadvantages of these words? ”

Xia Xiang smiled embarrassedly: "I don't dare to show off in front of Mayor Hu, besides, I just like calligraphy, I only know some fur, how dare I talk nonsense in front of the leader?" ”

Li Dingshan glanced at Xia Xiang suspiciously, he wanted to say something but couldn't help it, he knew that Xia Xiang was not the one who caused trouble, maybe he had another purpose. Hu Zengzhou smiled generously and said in a very tolerant and generous tone: "Secretary Li, we have all walked through our youth, and we also know the impulse of youth, and it is precisely because of the impulse that it seems real, so we must allow young comrades to make some mistakes, be tolerant, and love them, right?" Especially Xia Xiang, he was just stunned just now, this is not called making a mistake at all, who doesn't allow his subordinates to be stunned in front of the leader? If this is the case, when we are having a meeting above, and some of the comrades below are napping, should we still drive them out? Comrade Xiao Xia should be allowed to tell the truth and tell the truth, right? ”

Hu Zengzhou's words were both official and casual, so that Li Dingshan had nothing to say, so he had to nod his head to Chong Xia: "Today's task is to meet with Mayor Hu, get to know him, and ask Mayor Hu to support me in my future work." But since we're sitting together and talking, it's okay to say something off topic. ”

Li Dingshan's implication was to tell Hu Zengzhou that he wanted to hear his statement and his support for his work. Hu Zengzhou didn't seem to hear it, and said to Xia Xiang: "Come, I won't talk about work today, only calligraphy." Tell me about ......"

Li Dingshan tried to hide his disappointment and bowed his head to eat.

Xia Xiang showed a shy and shy smile, turned around and pointed to the words on the wall and said: "Tao Yuanming's poem is a self-exhortation poem, poetry and words, from the record of this poem, it can be seen that the person who wrote the pen is diligent and self-exhorting, and then looks at the pen full of ink, full of outline, very imposing, the middle of the pen turns, and the pen is written to walk the dragon and snake, the gesture becomes vigorous and free, and the last few strokes of the iron painting silver hook give people a sense of strength through the back of the paper. The whole poem is written in one go, without pause in between, and even if it is seen by the great contemporary calligraphers, it must be rated as a superior work. ”

Hu Zengzhou was dumbfounded when he heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he almost applauded loudly, forcibly suppressed the joy and uneasiness in his heart, and tried to show a calm face: "Xiao Xia's comments are quite good, has he loved calligraphy since childhood?" ”
