Christmas has become popular among some petty bourgeois youths in Ossan, and for Osan International School, Christmas is one of the most solemn festivals in the school.

The Oasis Apartment, with the same festive atmosphere, the glittering Christmas tree in the lobby and the festive greetings of Western men and women make it easy to get the illusion that this is not Chinese mainland.

But for Lu Zheng, during this time, he has been paying attention to the movements of his northern neighbors.

Iris did the same, returning to Germany for a while, and now going to Changming Group more frequently to send encrypted emails through the Changming Computer Center.

Just a few days ago, the President of the Soviet Union announced his resignation, and the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union passed a resolution declaring the cessation of the existence of the Soviet Union, and the huge red empire that had existed for nearly 70 years had terrified the West

The time of the collapse of the Soviet Union and Lu Zheng's memory are slightly different, which is naturally inevitable.

In contrast, how Iris resolved the conflict in the international school became insignificant, and without Lu Zheng's intervention, Iris continued to take Laura to the lecture as if nothing had happened.

On Christmas Eve, the male and female waiters in the lobby of the Oasis Apartment were dressed in Santa Claus costumes, which made most of the European and American tenants in the apartment feel very intimate, but it also made Zhao Pingfan, who came to the Oasis Apartment for the first time, very uncomfortable.

Zhao Pingfan was accompanied by Zhou Daqing to the lobby of the Oasis Apartment.

Sitting on the sofa in the lounge area of the lobby and waiting for Lu Zheng, Zhao Pingfan retreated again and said, "Daqing, why don't you go back." ”

Zhou Daqing smiled: "What do you want me to say?" You just sit down, the old secretary will be here in a while, you go now, tell me how to tell the old secretary. ”

Zhao Pingfan shook his head helplessly, in the past two years, Zhou Daqing has changed, and he has also changed, the only thing that remains unchanged is the rapid development of Wushan, every time he comes to the city, he will feel that the development of Qinglong is still too slow, and the slow can't keep up with the pace of Wushan.

Zhou Daqing suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "The old secretary has arrived." ”

Zhao Pingfan turned around to look, and sure enough, at the turnstile of the lobby, a tall figure slowly entered, it was the old leader.

Zhou Daqing was in front, Zhao Pingfan was behind, and hurried over.

Zhou Daqing is the deputy head of Binhai New Area and secretary of the Party Working Committee of Xin'an Street, and Zhao Pingfan is the county magistrate of Qinglong County.

When the two first met Lu Zheng, Zhou Daqing was just an ordinary secretary, and Zhao Pingfan was the depressed deputy director of a poor commune in Qinglong.

When Lu Zheng saw the two of them, he was also happy, and said with a smile: "Let's go, go upstairs and sit down, I haven't had a good chat with you for a long time, all kinds of things, you are busy, and I am also busy." "There have never been outsiders in the family, but Zhou Daqing and Zhao Pingfan are naturally different.

Zhou Daqing and Zhao Pingfan followed Lu Zheng into the elevator.

"There are too many foreigners here, and I'm not used to it." In the elevator, Zhao Pingfan shook his head.

Lu Zheng coughed, didn't squeak, and suddenly felt that taking the two of them into his house didn't seem to be thoughtful enough

The lobby of the oasis apartment was as warm as spring, and when they entered Lu Zheng's house, Zhao Pingfan and Zhou Daqing, who were wearing cotton clothes, felt as if they had entered the stove, but the air in the old secretary's house was extremely fresh, and he never thought that in the sealed space, he could also feel relaxed and happy between breaths, as if he was walking on the prairie in spring

The living room is huge, and when you enter the door, you can see the Christmas tree with colorful lights shining in the snow, and then, Zhao Pingfan and Zhou Daqing saw Louise with a high nose bridge and snow-white skin flashing out from behind the Christmas tree, and both of them were stunned.

Lu Zheng smiled: "Louise is the housekeeper of our family. ”

Lu Zheng led the two to sit on the sofa, and when they saw the two of them looking back at the thin layer of white snow under the Christmas tree from time to time, Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Artificial snow." ”

Zhou Daqing said enviously: "The machine for making this snow is expensive, I will buy one if it is cheaper, my daughter will be very happy." ”

At this time, the door of the study rang softly, it should have heard a guest coming, Iris walked out, a gorgeous palace-style snow-white lace skirt, snow-white over-the-knee stockings wrapped in slender legs, milky white small leather shoes, with a gorgeous white long hair The beautiful girl is frightening, people dare not look directly, pure and incomparably beautiful, that is, to take a look at it, as if it is a blasphemy against her.

Zhao Pingfan and Zhou Daqing were dumbfounded for a long time and didn't react, until Lu Zheng said to Iris: "You are busy with yours, let's talk about something, it is inconvenient for you to be here." Then Iris went back to the study, Zhao Pingfan and Zhou Daqing gradually came back to their senses, and for a moment, both of them wondered if they were dreaming.

Like, it seems that the old secretary said that the little foreign beauty embryo like the fairy tale princess just now is, is it the wife of the old secretary? Did you hear it wrong?

Zhao Pingfan and Zhou Daqing were so cranky that they even forgot their intentions.

"Today's Christmas Eve, our family's meal is quite hearty, let's eat and talk later." Lu Zheng felt a little embarrassed in his heart, but he was slightly proud, now, there are not many things that can make him complacent, even if he doesn't feel anything in the Japanese financial market, but, I have to say, with Iris, it is really face-saving, too funny.

Thinking about Lu Zheng, he couldn't help but shake his head, he was still a layman, and he was a layman.

"No, no, Pingfan will talk to you about something, and we'll leave after that." Zhou Daqing reacted quickly, hurriedly excused himself, and stayed to eat? Fear is no different from being punished.

Lu Zheng looked at Zhao Pingfan and said with a smile: "Say what you want to say." ”

Zhao Pingfan hesitated for a moment and said, "Secretary, I'm going through the back door, criticize me if you want to criticize."

Lu Zheng waved his hand: "You say first, ordinary, I still know you and me, what back door can you go through?" It's still business, for sure. ”

Zhao Pingfan smiled: "It's still the secretary, you know me." ”

Lu Zheng nodded, but sighed softly in his heart, Zhao Pingfan is not the young man who was full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm back then, he is much more sophisticated.

Zhao Pingfan pondered the wording, observed Lu Zheng's face, and said, "Actually, it's Lao Zhou, Zhou Liren, he always talks to me and asks why you don't go to Dawangzhuang." ”

Dawangzhuang, is the product of Lu Zheng's collective pilot project in Qinglong Matouying Commune, Zhou Liren is the secretary of the party branch of Dawangzhuang, over the years, the collective economic development of Dawangzhuang has been extremely rapid, the village was initially based on the canning factory, and gradually developed electrical factories, high-frequency pipe factories, food factories and other related industries, and then integrated into Dawangzhuang Agricultural Economic Group, Zhou Liren served as chairman, to last year, the total asset value of Agricultural Economic Group has exceeded 100 million.

Two years ago, Zhou Liren was named the best contemporary farmer entrepreneur in the country, and won the National Reform Talent Gold Cup Award, last year Zhou Liren appeared on the cover of "Half Moon Talk", was named China's top ten news figures, at the same time, he is also a national model worker, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, is a red and purple figure, but also one of the representatives of Wushan's reform and opening up.

After Lu Zheng came to Osan to serve as the mayor of Wushan, he had never been to Dawangzhuang, which is obviously a bit abnormal for such a typical person and typical area.

Zhou Daqing pondered in his heart, could it be because Zhou Liren, a typical example, was established by Huo Qinqun? Originally, this is the tree planted by the old secretary, without the old secretary who made the horse head camp to go to the collective field, how could there be Dawangzhuang today? But the results of Zuihou Dawangzhuang were picked by Huo Qinqun, Huo Qinqun thought that Dawangzhuang was supported by him, and Zhou Liren's model was set up by him, so he also had a special preference for Dawangzhuang and Zhou Liren.

Lu Zheng took a sip of coffee and asked Zhao Pingfan, "How is it?" I can't call when I work with Lao Zhang

Zhao Pingfan knew that the old secretary was talking about Zhang Jinan, the current secretary of the Qinglong County Party Committee, and Zhang Jinan was transferred from a neighboring county by Huo Qinqun. He has a particularly good relationship with Zhou Liren, and at the county party committee meeting, he also put forward the slogan that the county should escort Dawangzhuang.

But the relationship between Zhang Jinan and himself is a bit bad, he and him, there are a lot of differences in work, and he feels that he is an old Qinglong who is posturing and can't command himself, because he heard that he proposed to Secretary Huo several times to transfer himself, and he himself has become a factor affecting the stability and unity of the Qinglong team.

At this time, listening to the old secretary's question, Zhao Pingfan was silent, in some cases, he didn't want to tell the old secretary, that is, to make a small report, and sometimes he had to talk about skills, otherwise, it would only cause the leader's bad feelings.

Zhou Daqing smiled on the side: "Don't talk about ordinary and Lao Zhang, just me, I have been criticized by Dong Datou several times, and I am numb." Leader, I heard that when you lived in Zhengding, you and Dong Datou's relatives were neighbors, and there were conflicts

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Daqing, you are quite well-informed now, and you have a lot of complaints. ”

Zhou Daqing smiled and said: "It's not that I'm complaining to you, I'm used to it, many people in our district have opinions on Dong Datou's way of working, and at the ministerial conference, he can open his mouth to scold people, without a little leadership demeanor." ”

Lu Zheng knew that Zhou Daqing was beating around the bush and told himself that Dong Kuan had no prestige in Binhai New Area, waved his hand, and said, "You, don't be too impetuous, be down-to-earth, and work hard." ”

Zhou Daqing nodded: "I know." ”

Lu Zheng thought for a while and said to Zhao Pingfan: "Ordinary, it's not that I don't go to Dawangzhuang, but there are a lot of complaint letters that reflect the problems of Dawangzhuang and Zhou Liren recently, I am ready to find out the bottom first, let's put it this way, some letters say that Zhou Liren is a village bully in Dawangzhuang, bullying men and women, and a group of thugs, do you know these situations?" ”

Zhao Pingfan was stunned for a moment and said: "I've heard that he has a domineering work style, but with such a big mess, without his words, Dawangzhuang would not be able to go now." And it's too exaggerated to say that bullying men and women or something? ”

Lu Zheng nodded slightly, "I'll think about going to Dawangzhuang." ”
