Huizhou, eastern Anhui Province. It was raining heavily in the evening, and the night had not yet completely fallen, and the sky was gloomy. There was a dim glow among the lush locust trees in the provincial compound.

Secretary Ma Zhi hurriedly walked into the office. The turbulent undercurrent in the officialdom of eastern Anhui finally brewed into a storm, which was extremely unfavorable to Governor Zheng. He was anxious, but could only wait for things to develop. He is not qualified enough to be a chess player.

"This summer rain is in a hurry." Zheng Xiongyan watched the rain by the window with his hands behind his back, and sighed slightly when he saw Ma Zhi pushing the door in. He was about fifty years old, wore big black-rimmed glasses, and had the bearing of a long-standing superior.

At this moment, there is also a storm in the officialdom of eastern Anhui. Some say he will go down too, but...

"Governor, you're looking for me." Ma Zhi bowed slightly and said, he has always regarded Governor Zheng as his teacher and model. Seeing that this character who has been crisscrossing eastern Anhui for more than ten years is a little tired at this time, I can't help but tremble in my heart.

If this powerful man falls, it will be tantamount to a ten-magnitude earthquake for the political arena in eastern Anhui. The fate of many people will change with it, including others.

His fate is closely linked to that of Governor Zheng.

"Well, I don't know if the plane can land in such heavy rain. You go to Huizhou Airport to pick up someone. Drive car number two. I'll give you his mobile phone number. Call me after receiving him. ”

Ma Zhi was a little distracted. Now is the critical time, his whereabouts and the whereabouts of the No. 2 car have attracted the attention of many well-intentioned people. Who deserves to be greeted by him with car No. 2 at this moment.

"Okay." Ma Zhi paused for a while, saw Governor Zheng move his eyes to the rain scene outside the window, and quietly retreated.

Ma Zhi called the driver Xiao Wu. Drive to the airport. In the pick-up hall, I made several calls in a row and prompted to turn off the phone.

Ma Zhi thought that the other party might still be on the plane. Find a seat and dial every fifteen minutes.

Who exactly came to Huizhou. Let Governor Zheng send him to pick him up? It is certain that it is not a superior leader, otherwise Governor Zheng will definitely come in person. The cadres below? Today's level. Governor Zheng is helpless, what is the use of the cadres below?

After waiting for about 1 hour, the call went through, but it said that it was on the phone. Ma Zhi stood up from his seat and let out a long breath. At the moment, his stomach was very hungry. The people in the pick-up hall walked one after another, and he finally had to wait for someone to arrive.

Just counting the time, the mobile phone rang, and a young man's voice rang on the phone: "It's Secretary Ma, right?" I'm already at Gate 3. I was answering the phone just now, sorry. ”

"Okay. Wait a minute. Ma Zhi saw a very young face at Gate 3, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He also thought that it was Governor Zheng's reinforcements coming, but he didn't expect it to be a junior visit.

That young man didn't have the temperament of officialdom at all.

Then there is only one explanation for Governor Zheng to send him to pick him up, this young man is Governor Zheng's affectionate junior.

Lu Jing shook hands with Ma Zhi with a smile and got into the No. 2 car.

"First go to the provincial capital compound to pick up the governor, and then go to the governor's house for dinner." Ma Zhi took his mobile phone from the passenger seat and said.

Lu Jing smiled and nodded, looking at the dark sky outside the window. The rain kept falling. Jiangzhou is also raining heavily at the moment.

"Uncle Zheng." Lu Jing hadn't seen the old man's protégé for a long time.

Zheng Xiongyan patted the back of Lu Jing's hand and said in a deep voice, "Go to eat at home." Your Aunt Chen is waiting for us. ”

The atmosphere in the car was a little solemn. Ma Zhi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, felt more sad than dead. It's really a junior! The last gland of hope in his heart was gone. Sit back and wait for the catastrophe to cover the roof.

Lu Jing closed his eyes and rested. Jiangzhou is in the middle of the flood season. Although the eldest brother sorted out the work of the flood control office at the beginning of his tenure, he was at such a critical moment. As the acting mayor, he must sit in Jiangzhou and give full command to the flood control work, and there must be no deviation in the slightest.

The eldest brother is busy and has no extra energy to deal with other things. The burden of centering the liaison fell on him.

After eating, Lu Jing and Zheng Xiongyan went into the study to talk about things. Also coming in was his son, Zheng Xinming.

"Is the secretary's health okay?" Zheng Xiongyan handed a cigarette to Lu Jing.

"I had surgery last month, and my recovery is good." Lu Jing replied with a smile, "Before coming." My dad asked me to bring a message to Uncle Zheng. ”

Zheng Xiongyan took a deep breath of cigarette and said in a deep voice: "You say." ”

"I don't do bad things in my life. Don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. ”

Zheng Xinming has been trained by his father in the past few days, but he still feels very strange when he hears this. The second half of this sentence should be "I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night", right? He glanced at Lu Jing suspiciously. Don't let this young man pass the wrong word.

But when he looked at his father again, he almost thought he was dazzled. My father, who has been in a bad mood lately, actually laughed. Yes, I laughed, it was the kind of smile that came from the heart, a smile of relief. What's going on?

"Golden Jade Good Words!" Zheng Xiongyan laughed loudly. The key to this sentence lies in the weight conveyed by the word "not afraid". As long as he doesn't do a "bad thing", the secretary won't ignore him.

The organization has sent a clear signal, and he is confident that the situation will go next. He did not have the slightest involvement in the case of the loss of state-owned assets.

Lu Jing looked at Zheng Xiongyan's spirits and understood his mood at the moment, so he took out a stack of Wen Jiàn from his shoulder bag and handed it to him, "I flew from Nanzhou to Huizhou, and this material should be useful." ”

Zheng Xiongyan wiped his glasses, picked them up and looked at them carefully, and after a long while, he put down the materials, picked up the teacup and drank water, and went down for most of the cup in a moment. This material couldn't have come at a better time.

"Xiaojing, do you want to stay here or stay in a hotel tonight?" As he spoke, he waved his hand and smiled: "Forget it, you young people may not be able to stand my restraint here." I am a formalistic retention.

Xinming, sent Xiaojing to the hotel, and accompanied him around Huizhou in the past few days. After speaking, he said to Lu Jingdao: "Huizhou people are outstanding people, and their culture, food, and customs are very distinctive. You can stay in peace for a few days. ”

"I know." Lu Jing stood up with a smile, "Uncle Zheng, then I'll go to the hotel to rest first." ”

"Yes. What's the matter. Call me. ”

After Lu Jing and Aunt Chen said goodbye, Zheng Xinming sent him to the elegant "Xianzhi Garden". This is the best quality hotel in Huizhou except for the provincial party committee reception hotel.

After sitting in the room for a while, Zheng Xinming said goodbye and left. He and Lu Jing are not familiar with each other. My father was clearly in a state of great excitement just now. When my father was excited, he would involuntarily take a big sip of tea to soothe his feelings. Probably even my father didn't realize this.

He was now anxious to go home and know what the stack of materials Lu Jing handed his father was? How could a father in a high position be so excited that Cheng dù was like that?

….

Villa No. 1 of the Provincial Party Committee Villa.

Two people have a drink in the living room. Xu Gaobing, head of the United Front Work Department of the Provincial Party Committee, raised his glass with a smile, "Secretary, the constraints are coming, I toast you." Although he has a close relationship with the Liu family, if he wants to gain a foothold in eastern Anhui, he must follow Secretary Zhang's tune.

Secretary Zhang smiled and nodded at him, "You still have to be cautious." Can't relax until the last moment. Having said that, he still raised his glass and touched Xu Gaobing.

Xu Gaobing shook his head with a smile and said, "I know, Lu Lao's second son came to Huizhou this evening. Hey. What can he do, a nineteen-year-old hairy boy, isn't he here to spread the word?

Now that communication is developed, what do you have to say to your face? I see that he has come to stabilize the hearts of some people. I heard that Jiangzhou in northern Chu was in flood control, and it was estimated that he would not be able to get out, so he sent his younger brother out as an envoy.

Governor Zheng asked the No. 2 car to pick him up in such a high-profile manner, I think he just wants to send some subtle signals to us. ”

Secretary Zhang ate preserved eggs mixed with tofu, and said with a chuckle: "It's just a bluff." How's that going? ”

"It has been confirmed that Zheng Xinming has entered the dry shares."

Secretary Zhang smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and motioned for Xu Gaobing to drink. The old adversary thought that he would continue to make a fuss about the loss of state-owned assets. He must not know that his son had fallen into the net. That's the real killer feature.

Maybe the second son of the Lu family brought the support of some people, or maybe not. It doesn't matter. The matter of the old rival's son was enough to make him leave this dazzling stage.

Secretary Zhang suddenly felt a sense of loneliness in his heart. That feeling of loneliness about to lose an opponent.

Xu Gaobing looked at Secretary Zhang's unfathomable smile, and didn't know what this old man who was calling for wind and rain in the political arena of eastern Anhui was thinking?

…

The rain fell all night and never stopped. Lu Jing slept comfortably after a lazy night's sleep. Accompanied by Zheng Xinming, he went to the second floor of Xianzhi Court for lunch. After dinner, the two of them went to swim in the indoor swimming pool provided by Xianzhiyuan.

"I haven't exercised for a long time, and I've grown fat on my body." Zheng Xinming swam around and rested by the pool. Said self-deprecatingly.

I went home last night and asked about the materials, and was scolded by his father. "Don't ask what you shouldn't. I asked you to accompany Lu Jing, why did you come back so early? Think more about my words with your pig brain. ”

"He's not a woman. What am I doing with him at night? ”

"Idiot! You don't even know how to greet guests? Or do you think it's a shame for you to greet him? Think more with your pig brain. Don't think about women all day.

Also, take care of your lately, and don't let me hear about those bastards. ”

Being scolded by the old man for a while, Zheng Xinming learned a lesson and immediately came over to entertain Lu Jing this morning.

"Brother Zheng's posture is much more standard than mine." Lu Jing said with a smile. He swam a few laps in the backstroke position, and he has been holding back a lot lately, and he wants to exercise to vent his energy.

Zheng Xinming is a cadre of the Huizhou Municipal Procuratorate. In the land of Huizhou, it is considered to be the head snake of the land. After two days of rain, Zheng Xinming drove a Chevrolet and took Lu Jing to wander around the streets and alleys.

When the weather clears, the scope of the tour expands to the suburbs. The suburbs of Huizhou are undulating, full of clear and glorious luxuriant, and the water is beautiful and the mountains are spiritual. Walking in it is like a beautiful picture.

"That's it." After another day of playing, Zheng Xinming stopped at a street corner, "This edamame tofu is the most famous." There is a fight with Xianzhiyuan, this is the original Huizhou edamame tofu, which is a pleasure to eat. Xianzhiyuan is made like a work of art, which makes people unbearable to eat. ”

Lu Jing smiled and said, "Then you have to taste it." ”

After Zheng Xinming parked the car, the two walked into this small shop called "Song's Tofu". Business inside was excellent, and more than a dozen small tables were full.

A woman in a floral waiter's apron responded to the guest, "Here it is." Seeing the two of them blocking the side of the road, he said, "Let go." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was stunned, his eyes looked directly at Lu Jing, and his face showed an extremely shocked look.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Jing's mouth, making it impossible to see the surprise in his heart at the moment. He didn't expect to meet acquaintances here.

What a coincidence! (To be continued.) )
