Early the next morning, when Wang Xiaoju woke up from a sweet dream, he found that her husband was already sitting in front of the dresser, fiddling with his hairstyle with a comb, he made a meticulous partial hair, and looked at the head sprayed with styling water, you must know that Hong Hui had never paid attention to the image before, Wang Xiaoju looked at her husband's radiant face in the mirror, and couldn't help hugging his waist from behind and coquettishly said: "Director Hong, I still want ~~"

Hong Hui couldn't help but look back and smile: "Be serious, when you get to County Magistrate Zhou's house, you can't do this." Dedicated"

Wang Xiaoju pursed her lips: "Xiaojing and I are good sisters who talk about everything, let me tell you a secret." As he spoke, he leaned on Hong Hui's ear and said, "I heard that when Zhou Wen first became the county magistrate, he was fiercer than you in bed, and you men are all virtuous." ”

The slightest heat blew on Hong Hui's ears, I don't know why, suddenly he remembered Guo Nana again, but it was only for a moment, Hong Hui secretly made up his mind that he must not betray his wife, he got up and patted Wang Xiaojuguang's ass and said, "Get up, go to County Magistrate Zhou's house to sit." ”

"It's only a few o'clock." Wang Xiaoju glanced at the alarm clock, and the hour hand pointed to eight o'clock.

"Don't you have to go to the bank to withdraw money, hurry up." After Hong Hui finished speaking, he opened the wardrobe and began to choose clothes, he became the director, and this line of work cannot be bad, but his status at home in the past few years has been too low, and the only few short-sleeved shirts were bought three years ago, and the styles and colors are outdated, Wang Xiaoju saw it and said: "You have to buy a few good clothes, and when we come out of Xiaojing's house, I will accompany you to go shopping." ”

The two dressed up, called the child's grandparents to come and take care of the child, then took the passbook to the bank, deposited the 50,000 yuan on the regular passbook into a bank card, the account name was Wang Xiaoju's name, and the password was written on the back, and went to the supermarket to buy some imported grapes, snake fruits or something, and took a taxi to Zhou Wen's house.

Halfway through, Hong Hui's mobile phone rang non-stop, full of text messages and phone calls congratulating him on his promotion to director, several of which were sent by Guo Nana, who asked Brother Hong with concern if he was okay yesterday, Hong Hui looked at his wife next to him, and quickly deleted Guo Nana's information.

"Do you want to make a phone call in advance, it's not good to come to the door like this." Hong Hui asked, Wang Xiaoju smiled proudly and said: "Don't be so polite, what is the relationship between me and Xiaojing, those are hardcore good sisters, we will visit the door if we have nothing to do, so we don't need to report in advance." ”

Indeed, the relationship between Wang Xiaoju and Liu Xiaojing is extraordinary, the two are of similar age, Wang Xiaoju is slightly two years older, and they are both people from commercial institutions, Liu Xiaojing used to be a cashier in a supermarket, Zhou Wen was transferred to the city ZF as a secretary before she was operated to work in the office of the Commercial Bureau, and Wang Xiaoju was transferred from the department store to the Commercial Bureau to work as a typist through the relationship at home, and later when Zhou Wen was sent to the county as the director of tourism, Liu Xiaojing also followed the bad luck and transferred to the printing room to manage the photocopier, and the two met at that time, It's a sister in distress.

Later, Zhou Wen became the county magistrate, Wang Xiaoju paid more attention to the cultivation of the relationship with Liu Xiaojing, the two of them are like a mother, and they bragged about their husbands and children while playing sweaters together every day, or learned from the experience of dealing with their mother-in-law, almost to the point of talking about everything, this feeling is incomprehensible to men.

Sure enough, when she arrived at County Magistrate Zhou's house, Liu Xiaojing didn't see anything outside, opened the door and let the two of them in, muttering: "Come here, buy fruits, I can't eat all the fruits at home." ”

"A little heart, by the way, what about your family?" Wang Xiaoju looked around, if County Magistrate Zhou hadn't gotten up yet, it would be embarrassing.

Liu Xiaojing pouted: "He's a busy man, he went to the capital on the plane last night." ”

Hong Hui hurriedly asked: "County Magistrate Zhou is really in charge of everything, and he can't rest for a moment, and this time I went to the capital, I'm afraid it is also for the economic development of our Nantai County." ”

"No, it seems that it is a memorial service for a certain head of the Central Committee, and he is named to attend." Liu Xiaojing said nonchalantly.

Hong Hui's expression suddenly became serious, Ye Lao's visit to Kushuijing to inspect the matter has spread throughout Nantai County, and County Magistrate Zhou, as a local leader, accompanied him throughout the whole process, presumably he has made some outstanding contributions, so that Ye Lao's family is quite grateful, so he was invited to participate in the memorial service, as a county leader, to be able to participate in this high-level state funeral, the meaning is not simple.

Wang Xiaoju opened her mouth even wider: "God, the central government has invited your family to participate in the event, and the county magistrate Zhou will definitely become a big official in the future." ”

Liu Xiaojing waved his hand: "What, people just see him doing things neatly, and call him over to help him or something." ”

Hong Hui and his family looked at each other, the county magistrate Zhou had entered Beijing to walk, this level was higher than those leaders in the county, and it seemed that they must unite closely around the county magistrate in the future.

In fact, Liu Xiaojing is also talking nonsense, Zhou Wen was in a hurry, and she didn't tell her what to do at all, she said: "Actually, Zhou Wen has a good relationship with Mayor Hu's family, I have a classmate who is the boyfriend of Mayor Hu's daughter." ”

Now Hong Hui and his family were even more surprised, if the relationship between the central government is a bit ethereal, the relationship between the city is real, Mayor Hu is the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and the prestige of the political and legal mouth is quite high, no wonder the county magistrate Zhou is so stable and ruthless, it turns out that there is strong reinforcement in the city.

The two listened to Liu Xiaojing blowing the cow for a while, and it was almost noon, Hong Hui looked at his watch and signaled that his wife should go, but Wang Xiaoju said: "Xiaojing, while your family is not at home, let's go out for a good meal." ”

Liu Xiaojing said okay, took the child and Hong Hui to the spicy fragrant pot outside the community to eat, after the meal Wang Xiaoju took out an envelope and said: "Xiaojing, this time our family Hong Hui has raised the director, all up to the county magistrate Zhou to cultivate, a little care, not much, buy some stationery for the child or something." ”

"Sister Wang, what are you doing here?" Liu Xiaojing waved her hand again and again, saying that she didn't want anything, and finally Wang Xiaoju was anxious and said: "It's okay if you don't accept other people's gifts, can't we have this little exchange between sisters, if you don't accept it, I will ignore you in the future." ”

Only then did Liu Xiaojing reluctantly accept it and patted her son's head: "Thank you, Auntie." ”

Zhou Wen's son said in a milky voice, "Thank you, Auntie." The adults laughed.

Coming out of the hotel, Hong Hui and his family sent Liu Xiaojing to the door of the community before leaving, just walked out not far away, Hong Hui saw a black car on the side of the road, hanging the license plate of Nantai County's official car, under the windshield there are also county-level organ passes and county finance bureau family compound access card, two men are picking fruit baskets in the roadside fruit shop.

Hong Hui Nunu mouthed: "The car of the Finance Bureau." Wang Xiaoju looked over and immediately understood: "They are also here to visit County Magistrate Zhou." ”

"It must be, the old Ren of the Finance Bureau has been pressed by Secretary Zhang's brother-in-law for so many years, and this time he can be in power, and County Magistrate Zhou must have made a lot of efforts."

The two of them said that they took a taxi to buy clothes in the Emgrand Commercial Building in the city center, and when they became the director, they had to pay attention to their image, shirts, suits, ties, leather shoes, etc., all of them had to be renewed, and they wanted famous brands, at least Pierre Cardin, crocodile Valentino or something.

……

Ye Lao's funeral specifications are extremely high, the funeral committee is the leader of the national character, Lao Cheng Tou came to attend the memorial service as a representative of his hometown, there was no Zhou Wen in the list, but considering that Zhou Wen was also present when Ye Lao died, and Lao Cheng Tou was already an old man in his eighties, he must be accompanied, so Zhou Wen was also included.

Zhou Wen attached great importance to this opportunity, and personally took the car to Tianjie Township to pick up Lao Chengtou, considering that the old man had to have a close person to serve, and brought Lao Chengtou's great-grandson Cheng Maozi with him, and bought a few sets of new clothes in the county, and the county magistrate Zhou picked a few young and capable young men in the county ZF to take them, and the group took the plane to the capital, of course, all the expenses were paid by the county finance.

This level of funeral, from the announcement of death to the farewell ceremony of the body, cremated into Babao Mountain, at least ten days, during this time, Zhou Wen let people take Lao Chengtou and Mao Zi out for a good tour, what the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Great Hall of the People, the Revolutionary History Museum, and the Great Wall of Badaling, all turned around, and he stayed in the hotel every day to remotely control the appointment and dismissal of personnel at home.

As soon as I finished talking to Secretary Xu on the phone, the mobile phone rang again, it was my wife calling, Liu Xiaojing's voice sounded very proud: "Husband, someone came to our house yesterday to give gifts, and I confiscated it." ”

"Oh, it's the old man of the Finance Bureau, right?" Zhou Wen said.

"Yes, he took a newspaper bag, which contained a thick stack of money, I used to work as a cashier, and I knew that it was at least 100,000 yuan at a glance, and I turned my face on the spot and scolded him out."

Zhou Wen said: "Xiaojing, it's right not to accept gifts, but you can't scold people, others are also kind." ”

Liu Xiaojing smiled: "Tease you, follow you as an official's wife, the city government has not yet done this, whose money can be collected, whose money can't be collected, I have a spectrum in my heart." ”

As soon as Zhou Wen heard this, he knew that something bad was going to happen, and hurriedly asked, "You can't have accepted Hong Hui's money, right?" ”

"Husband, you are so smart, Sister Wang gave me a card, I went to the bank ATM to check, there are 50,000 yuan! Sister Wang is usually very frugal, but she didn't expect to be so generous, but she spent the money worthwhile, so she was the head of the bureau. ”

"Whoever asked you to collect it, hurry up and return it to me, Liu Xiaojing, you remember for me, no matter whose money it is, you are not allowed to accept it! This is the principle of iron, it is a high-voltage line, and it must not be touched. Zhou Wen almost roared out of this sentence.

Liu Xiaojing was obviously frightened, and didn't dare to speak for a long time, Zhou Wen also felt that he was a little too excited, so he changed his tone and said: "Hong Hui's salary is not high, it is not easy to save 50,000 yuan, we can't collect this money, besides, I still expect him to be the director of the bureau to do a good job for me, which is not enough to collect other people's money." ”

"I'll call and ask Sister Wang to get the money back." Liu Xiaojing hung up the phone after whispering, Zhou Wen could imagine that his wife would definitely cry, but he couldn't help it, such a wife who didn't know how to score inches could only be strict.

Zhou Wen is not the kind of stupid bird with a tendon, he has been working at the grassroots level for so long, he doesn't understand anything, officials with integrity and clean sleeves only exist in it, and the style that is incompatible with the officialdom will only make people stay away, let alone carry out work, it is difficult to even make friends, it is said that with the relationship between him and Hong Hui, this little favor is nothing, but this money must not be collected by his wife, as soon as this opening is opened, it will be a big trouble in the future.

This is also the experience that Zhou Wen has drawn from studying countless cases of officials falling from power.
