Meng Qiang hesitated for a moment, but still called his sister Meng Lin to ask about Peng Yuanzheng's preparations for Friday's wedding banquet.

According to the meaning of the Meng family, it is best to set up this wedding banquet in the city, the Meng family will preside over it, and Meng Qiang will come forward on behalf of the Meng family, which can be regarded as officially publicizing the relationship between the Meng family and Peng Yuanzheng.

But Peng Yuanzheng resolutely refused and insisted on placing it in a neighboring county.

Meng Qiang was helpless, and he couldn't force it. But fortunately, in the county or the city, the difference is not very big. The only difference may be that if Peng Yuanzheng is in charge of this matter, the procedure must be quite simplified, while the Meng family will basically be more grand. Moreover, the Meng family is out, and there must be a lot of guests coming, if it is Peng Yuanzheng simply in the name of banqueting colleagues and friends, there should not be too many people to attend.

This is Meng Qiang's true mentality. However, he really underestimated Peng Yuanzheng's network influence in Xin'an City. Although Peng Yuanzheng didn't send many invitations, there were definitely people who left when he heard the news.

Peng Yuanzheng has always emphasized to his mother that this is not a make-up wedding, but a banquet. He works in neighboring counties and Xin'an, and it is not appropriate to get married without a treat. In line with the purpose of contacting colleagues in the county and friends in the city, everything is simple and low-key, which is the principle of Peng Yuanzheng.

"Meng Lin, how is the wedding banquet of the expedition going? So far, there has been no movement. Meng Qiang smiled lightly, "My eldest brother and I have been waiting." ”

"Second brother, the child is now older, and he has an idea, so he can do what he says. He came back last night and told me that their county office had done it for him, and it was placed at the county party committee reception. He didn't post much, either. It's colleagues and friends in the county and city, get together. ”

Meng Lin smiled and said, "The day after tomorrow, that is, Friday, it will start at six o'clock in the afternoon, if you have time, you can go over and have a good time." If you don't have time, forget it. ”

Meng Qiang sighed, "Meng Lin." I'm definitely going, how can I not go? I wanted to put it in the city, and I came out and put a drink. This is also a great joy for our family, but this kid is too stubborn - forget it, he is also a leading cadre now. If you have your own opinions, let it be according to his ideas. Meng Lin, when the expedition comes back, you tell him about the coal coking project, don't be in a hurry to get on fire, I'll help him coordinate and arrange. ”

After speaking, Meng Qiang hung up the phone. He couldn't continue to talk to his sister, because Meng Lin was completely blind to officialdom, and of course she didn't care about these things.

Meng Lin put down the phone. Turning his head to look at Feng Qianru, he smiled, "Qianru, will you go to do your hair tomorrow?" No matter how you say it, you have to wear a wedding dress and makeup! ”

Feng Qianru smiled bitterly: "Mom, Brother Expedition is troublesome, so let's just say that we are usually dressed." According to his meaning, it is to have a meal with colleagues in the county, and there is no need to make a lot of noise. ”

Meng Lin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again, "Actually, it's okay, our family Qianru is so handsome." It's actually better not to wear a wedding dress. ”

Feng Qianru was ashamed, stomped her feet and said angrily: "Mom, you are here to make fun of me again!" ”

Meng Lin looked at his daughter-in-law, who was as noble and bright as a flower, and laughed contentedly. With a son and daughter-in-law like this, what else can she hope for? But if Qianru hurries up to have another big fat boy, it will be even more perfect......

Meng Lin thought in his heart, and his playful eyes subconsciously glanced at Feng Qianru's lower abdomen, and said in his heart that these two children have been together for so long, and it is said that they have not had contraception, why hasn't Qianru moved until now?

Now, the female elders of the Feng family, from Mrs. Feng to Meng Lin, Song Yuzhen, Zhang Lan and Feng Boxia, the only thing they are looking forward to is that Feng Qianru will get pregnant and have a child as soon as possible, adding new blood to the thin Feng family.

……

Wang Hao walked into Peng Yuanzheng's office with a respectful smile, "County Magistrate Peng, I have arranged your wedding banquet, a total of 24 tables have been set, and considering that there will be leaders to attend, six more rooms have been arranged." On Friday night, there was no reception task at the reception, it was our family banquet. ”…,

Peng Yuanzheng frowned and said, "24 tables? It's too much, it's completely unnecessary! There won't be so many people going! In addition, there is no need to set up a separate room, whether it is a leader or an ordinary cadre, all who come are guests of my Peng Yuanzheng, and they are all treated equally, and they can be in the hall. ”

Wang Hao smiled bitterly: "Leader, 24 tables may not be enough." You have been working in the city for so long, the city and Xin'an District will definitely come to a few tables, and in our county, the leaders of the four major teams, the team members of various departments and units, and the colleagues in our county party committee and county government organs are all clamoring to join in the fun...... Leader, we can't let people go and have nowhere to do, right? ”

Peng Yuanzheng hesitated, "Okay, 24 tables will be 24 tables." Anyway, it's all out of my own pocket, so it doesn't matter. In addition, tell the comrades who helped the county government office that no one's gifts or red envelopes are allowed, and you can help me put up a sign that refuses to accept red envelopes, and then it will be placed at the door of the reception desk. ”

"If there are leaders from the city and county attending, it will be arranged in the innermost, and there is no need to open a separate room." Peng Yuanzheng added, "Let Tian Ming and Huo Guangming take two people to help me coordinate, and I will ask the comrades from the county government office to help drink later!" But remember, don't let that delay your work! ”

"Don't worry, leader, I have greeted everyone, I only come to drink and eat, do not bring red envelopes and gifts, and do not cause trouble to the leader."

Wang Hao took the order and left. Peng Yuanzheng put down a piece of material in his hand and was about to talk to Gong Hanlin about nominating and recommending several section-level cadres. For example, Wang Hao of the county government office was regularized, Xie Hui of the county bureau was regularized, and so on, a group of seven or eight cadres were all in the administrative sequence of the county government.

Gong Hanlin was listening to someone's small report in the office, and he was Zhiling, a deputy chief clerk of the county government office.

Zhiling is 26 years old this year, and after graduating from university and entering the county government office for two and a half years, she has been promoted to deputy chief clerk, and she is the sister-in-law of a deputy director of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce.

Zhiling is the deputy chief clerk, theoretically at the same level as Wang Hao, but she is a fictitious position, while Wang Hao is the deputy director who clearly presides over the work organizationally, and the two cannot be compared.

Zhiling stood in front of Gong Hanlin's desk, lowered his voice and "confided", and there was inevitably a little resentment in his words. She originally thought that when Wang Hao became a regular, she would naturally become the deputy director of the actual post, but the result was not expected, Peng Yuanzheng, the leader in charge, had a very clear purpose, trusted and reused Huo Guangming, and there were rumors that Huo Guangming would be promoted to the deputy director of the county government office, once Huo Guangming got up, she would have no more drama.

Wang Hao and Peng Yuanzheng are relatively close, and they have been helping Peng Yuanzheng manage the wedding banquet in the past two days, and Gong Hanlin is also clear. This kind of thing can't be hidden even if you want to. And Peng Yuanzheng's intention to promote Huo Guangming is not groundless.

What made Gong Hanlin feel a little uncomfortable was that the main leader of the county government office was originally he, the county magistrate, but now, the county government office first revolved around Peng Yuanzheng and left him Gong Hanlin aside - in his heart, this is almost equivalent to occupying Nestle and taking the lead.

Therefore, Zhiling is "complaining" here, he doesn't show anything on the surface, but in fact, he resonates with it in his heart.

"County Magistrate Peng......" Zhiling was about to say more, but was interrupted by Gong Hanlin waving his hand, "Okay, Xiaozhi, you go back first, I know it in my heart." You can rest assured, as long as anyone works hard, the organization will see it - the county will not let honest people who work with peace of mind suffer! ”

"As for those who jump up and down, don't worry about them, work is the foundation, without work, everything is fake and empty!"

Gong Hanlin's attitude became serious. He saw that Zhiling, a young woman, was suspected of "fanning the flames", although he needed such a person to "gather news" for him behind his back, he didn't like Zhiling's character of telling right and wrong. …,

In fact, Wang Hao and Huo Guangming are really not people who jump up and down, people who really jump up and down, and the county government office is headed by Zhiling - they like to inquire about things, like to spread gossip, and also like to go to the leaders to make small reports, and they prefer to go around telling right and wrong.

Gong Hanlin said so, but there is nothing wrong with looking at people. However, for his personal political interests and to suppress Peng Yuanzheng, he blacklisted Wang Hao and Huo Guangming in his heart.

He has fallen into a misunderstanding of thinking. He always thought that now Peng Yuanzheng wanted to seize his power, trying to overthrow him as the county magistrate, threatening his political status. But in fact, Peng Yuanzheng had an attitude of "support and assistance" towards him from beginning to end - but by mistake, under the covert encouragement of the city's high-ups, Peng Yuanzheng was pushed to the opposite side of him.

As for Wang Hao, these people are not "hiding from the kang on the pot". Wang Hao is a cautious person, he is actually more "attentive" to Gong Hanlin, but Gong Hanlin can't see it at all, he only sees Wang Hao's side of leaning towards Peng Yuanzheng.

Not to mention Huo Guangming. He was originally an ordinary clerk, and he was too far away from Gong Hanlin, the county magistrate. He was lucky to be selected by Peng Yuanzheng and worked beside Peng Yuanzheng, of course, he had to be loyal to Peng Yuanzheng. This is an essential quality of working beside the leader.

At Huo Guangming's level, he couldn't consider the various twists and turns between the senior leaders in the county for the time being. He is concerned about nothing more than personal promotions and small abacus of life experiences. If Huo Guangming knew that he had offended Gong Hanlin because of this, and was even regarded by Gong Hanlin as a thorn in the flesh, he would definitely scream for unjust death.

……

The city hall, Meng Qiang's office.

Meng Qiang asked his secretary to call Meng Jianxi, the leader of the Xin'an City Gas Corporation, to talk.

Although Meng Jianxi claimed to be a relative of the Meng family and Mayor Meng's cousin outside, it was actually the result of his hot head shaving and taking the initiative to stammer. Hearing that Mayor Meng took the initiative to find him, he was ecstatic.

Meng Jianxi did not dare to slack off, and immediately rushed to the city government by car. Walking into the office building of the municipal government, he went straight to Meng Qiang's office.

Meng Qiang's secretary stopped him in the corridor, "Manager Meng, the leader is talking to Secretary Dongfang on the phone, you wait for a few minutes." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
