Yan Lin sat on the minibus and saw Wang Qiao standing at the door of the nursing home from a distance. For countless days and nights, she would weave scenes of unexpected encounters with Wang Qiao. There are countless scenes, and there are even situations that suddenly want to encounter at work, and the details are similar to today's meeting, but I didn't expect to receive a call from Wang Qiao beforehand.

Compared with five years ago, Wang Qiao's appearance has not changed significantly, but his temperament has changed greatly. used to be a very sharp handsome guy, but now he has a depressed bearing and is very manly.

After Yuan Chengjie, deputy director of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, member of the Standing Committee of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and director of the office, and Hua Chengyao, deputy secretary of the Changdong County Party Committee, got off the bus, Hua Chengyao, deputy secretary of the Changdong County Party Committee, introduced Wang Qiao and Lao Lan of the nursing home in turn. When Deputy Director Shang shook hands with Wang Qiao, he said, "Such a young mayor, is he thirty years old?" ”

Hua Chengyao said: "Although Wang Qiao is young, he has also been trained in many positions, served as the deputy director of the urban management committee, and presided over the work of the government office. ”

Deputy Director Shang said with interest: "I also served as the mayor of the town, and when I became the mayor, I was thirty-one years old, which is considered young, and Wang Qiao is younger than me. ”

Wang Qiao smiled slightly: "Yan Lin and I are classmates and graduated from Shannan University. ”

Deputy Director Shang said: "Let's choose a transfer student." ”

Wang Qiao said: "Yes." ”

Deputy Director Yan turned around and said to Yan Lin: "Yan Lin has been in the agency for more than a year, and after working for a few years, she also has to go to the grassroots level to exercise. I have worked at the grassroots level and have learned what the broadest masses of the people at the grassroots level think, do, and hope. Understand the process of operation of grassroots organizations and understand the difficulties of grassroots organizations. With a sense of truth, there is a first-hand information. In the future, the basis for formulating policies will be firm, and if the foundation is not firm, the ground will shake. ”

Hua Chengyao, deputy secretary of the county party committee, took the lead in applauding.

Yuan Chengjie, member of the Standing Committee of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and director of the office, said: "What Director Shang said is very important, and all comrades are seriously understanding it. ”

Wang Qiao patiently listened to Deputy Director Shang's speech, and finally shook hands with Yan Lin. When shaking hands, Yan Lin only felt short of breath and her palms were slightly sweaty. Because they had to accompany Deputy Director Shang and other leaders, even if the two had a lot to say, they didn't have a chance. They looked at each other a few times. After a very brief exchange of words, they each returned to their posts.

The substantive condolence activities lasted for half a day, and they went to the nursing home and Dalongqiao Village to express condolences. During the Spring Festival, condolences are more on behalf of the organization's concern for the people in need, rather than from the work level. The General Office of the Provincial Party Committee came to offer condolences, and the symbolic meaning was greater than the practical significance.

Yesterday evening, Chengguan Town purchased various items in accordance with the requirements of the condolence group of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee. Zhao Mei of the finance department and Guo Da of the office were busy until late at night, and they were very complaining about this kind of condolences. Of course, complaints can only be made in private. They all still understand politics, and they know that the county party committee will definitely attach great importance to this condolence, and they dare not be sloppy in procurement. The items were procured and delivered to the nursing home and Dalongqiao in advance. Morning. When Wang Qiao came to check, all the materials were ready.

The General Office of the Provincial Party Committee is a tall and incomparably haloed institution in the eyes of Dalongqiao Village and the Nursing Home, and when they discuss together. In accordance with Song Hongli's explanation, everyone reported the achievements made in recent years. It also reflects some global problems.

Deputy Director Shang heard it very carefully, and took out a notebook to write it down carefully.

Yan Lin prepared a voice recorder. The voice of the local government when reporting on the work and the speech of Director Shang were recorded. She learned that Wang Qiao had only been in office for a few days, and she was a little worried that his report would be a little empty during the discussion. Who knew that Wang Qiao remembered the data of the entire Chengguan Town very solidly, and basically came as soon as he opened his mouth, and he coped with it freely. She has been sitting in the corner or behind the people from the Provincial Party Committee General Office, which has given her the opportunity to keep her eyes on Wang Qiao.

Sometimes listening to Wang Qiao's speech, Yan Lin has some illusions, as if the two have never been separated, and they are still a pair of lovers. Sometimes there is another feeling, as if the scene where the two were together before was a dream, but it was only generated in their own minds, and it did not actually happen.

After running at two o'clock in the morning, everyone will be relaxed.

At noon, ******** Jizhizhou returned from a meeting in Jingzhou and held a banquet at the Changdong Hotel to entertain the delegation of the General Office of the Provincial Government. At the banquet, because Director Shang also had to lead a team to visit the enterprises located in Jingzhou, he only drank a little red wine. During the banquet, everyone let go and joked around Wang Qiao and Yan Lin.

The leaders of Jizhizhou and other counties are still measured, and they only cooperate to say a few words. Deputy Director Shang, who was the most energetic in jokes, picked up the red wine glass, asked for two more wine glasses, and said: "Yan Lin and Wang Qiao are classmates, classmates see classmates, tears are in their eyes, they must drink a glass of wine." ”

Yan Lin said: "Director Shang, I want to be red-faced after drinking, and I have to look at the company in the afternoon." ”

Deputy Director Shang said: "It's okay to have a glass of wine, you are from Jingzhou, after reading the company in the afternoon, I will give you half a day off to visit relatives and friends, and come back to work tomorrow." ”

Wang Qiao knew that Yan Lin could drink a little wine, and when he heard Deputy Director Shang say this, he took the initiative to clink glasses with Yan Lin.

After eating, the comrades of Changdong County sent the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee to the county border, and finally completed today's condolence activities.

Song Hongli said: "Wang Zhen, just let your classmates go?" ”

Wang Qiao said: "She still has work in the afternoon. ”

Song Hongli said with a smile: "Director Shang didn't say that he would take a half-day vacation. ”

Wang Qiao said: "What was said was said, but it was not implemented in the end." If you want to go to Jingzhou, it has to be at night. ”

The minibus gradually faded away from sight, and Wang Qiao took his mind back to work, trying not to think about anything related to Yan Lin anymore.

In the afternoon, a meeting of the Chengguan Town team was held to discuss the payment of wages to workers and workers and the wages of village cadres before the Spring Festival, which is a major matter related to the stability of the entire Chengguan Town and cadres, and must be taken seriously. After the team meeting, the Spring Festival visit was arranged, and it was time to get off work.

At this time, the phone rang, and the caller was a comrade from the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee Office, "Mayor Wang, just now Yuan Standing Committee told me that you are invited to Jingzhou to attend the dinner to receive Director Shang of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee. ”

Wang Qiao was really a little surprised, and asked, "Let me come to the dinner?" ”

The caller said: "Standing Committee Member Yuan said that Yan Lin from the Standing Committee of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee is your classmate, and you come to meet and enliven the atmosphere." ”

This was a matter personally confessed by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee Yuan Qiao, Wang Qiao couldn't refuse, so he went to Song Hongli's office and said, "I was going to be called to Jingzhou for dinner in the evening, and Yuan Standing Committee arranged it." In this case, if you go to the city, there is a chance that you will get drunk. ”

Song Hongli said: "You and Yan Lin are classmates, and Standing Committee Yuan asked you to go to liven up the atmosphere." It can also be seen from this incident that they are still satisfied with the two points of Chengguan Town today. Your classmates work in the Standing Committee Office of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, which is beneficial to you, and you can't lose this line, you have to use it well. ”

Wang Qiao said: "I drank a lot at night, I must live in Jingzhou, and I will come back later tomorrow." ”

Song Hongli said: "It is a big deal to accompany the leaders of the province, and the municipal and county party committees attach great importance to it, and this is also your opportunity." Don't think about tomorrow, there are still so many comrades to support you. Ask the Treasury to prepare some cash before you go, and don't get too caught up in the heat if you need it. If you straighten out the relationship between the city and the county, it will be a great thing for Chengguan Town. ”

Wang Qiao didn't bother with it, borrowed money from the finance office, called Lao Zhao and went to Jingzhou.

The dinner was arranged at the reception center of the Municipal Party Committee, which was not too far from the former Hongqi Factory office in Jingzhou. Wang Qiao first went to the reception center to register his accommodation, and then went to the banquet hall.

After leaving Changdong, Yan Lin has been quite restless. She really wanted to sit with Wang Qiao for a while and have a meal in the evening, but she had official business, and Director Shang just said at the wine table that she could ask for leave, and she would not mention it again when she left the wine table. Yan Lin is a person who knows the rules, so she put aside all kinds of thoughts about Wang Qiao and concentrated on the meeting. The meeting held before the Spring Festival does not have too real meaning, everyone talks and talks, understands some grassroots conditions, and then wishes a happy Spring Festival, which is a matter.

At the end of the meeting, Du Ligao, Jingzhou ********, Deng Jianguo, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and other leaders personally attended the dinner and accompanied Deputy Director Shang and his party to the banquet hall.

Yan Lin is not interested in this kind of ceremonial meeting, but as an attaché, she has no choice but to follow the pace of the leader. When she walked into the banquet hall, she saw Wang Qiao for the first time, and her heart was pounding.

Standing Committee member Yuan took the initiative to introduce Du Ligao to ********: "Secretary Du, this is Wang Qiao of Chengguan Town, Changdong, acting mayor, and he arrived in Chengguan Town this morning. He was Xiao Yan's high school classmate at Jingzhou No. 1 Middle School, and I called him over. ”

Du Ligao raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Qiao, and said, "You are Wang Qiao!" Sure enough, he is young and talented. ”

Wang Qiao has always been puzzled about the matter of "opening the sky", and when he heard what Du Ligao said, he seemed to have a good impression of himself, and felt even more strange, so he stepped forward and held Du Ligao's hand with both hands, and said, "Secretary Du is good." ”

Du Ligao said: "Just now Director Shang praised the work of Chengguan Town, Changdong, you, the young mayor, can have such a good position, you have to do a career, to live up to everyone's expectations of you." ”

These words made Wang Qiao even more confused, but it was not easy to show it.

Yuan Standing Committee said to Deng Jianguo: "Secretary Deng, this is Wang Qiao, the mayor of Changdong Town, and I estimate that he is the youngest mayor in the city. ”

Only then did Wang Qiao take a step forward, hold Deng Jianguo's hand with both hands, and said, "Secretary Deng is good." ”

Deng Jianguo said with a smile: "I have known Wang Qiao for a long time, he had two records before he became the mayor of the town, the first was the best player in the Jingzhou Basketball League, which was a few years ago. ”

Wang Qiaodao: "Seven or eight years ago, when I was still studying in middle school, I was fortunate to represent Changdong in the Jingzhou Basketball League. ”

Deng Jianguo said: "Wang Qiao is also a famous calligrapher in Shannan University, I saw his works when I was in the Institute of Technology, and his skills are quite profound." ”

When Deng Jianguo said that he knew Wang Qiao, the cadres of the Jingzhou Department were a little surprised, and they were relieved when they heard it, Deng Jianguo had been the party secretary of the Industrial College, and he had seen the calligraphy works of Wang Qiao, a student of Shannan University, which was not too outrageous.
