Chapter 20: Chameleon

After the meeting began, Xiao Fei suddenly remembered that he hadn't called Xia Ying to ask her to buy groceries, so he walked out of the conference room and dialed Xia Ying's mobile phone number.

After the phone was connected, Xiao Fei smiled and said, "Political Commissar Xia, do you have a party at night?" If not, I'd like to invite you to my house for dinner and a taste of my cooking. ”

Xia Ying was stunned for a moment, and asked a little strangely, "Why did you suddenly remember to invite me to dinner?" You helped me a lot last time, and I haven't invited you to dinner yet, or I'll have a treat in the evening, so let's go eat out! ”

"Don't, don't, let's eat at my house! It's not me bragging: if you have eaten my fried dish once, you will definitely want to eat it every day in the future. ”

Xia Ying also laughed and said, "Obviously blew the cowhide into the sky, and said that you didn't brag about the cowhide, and your guy is thick enough." Well, I'll come to your house for dinner in the evening and try how good your cooking is. ”

"There's another little thing I'd like to ask you for: I'm in the countryside right now, and I might not be back until later, so I'd like to ask you to take the time to buy me some food at the market or supermarket."

"It's easy, I'm just going to the supermarket later, so I'll buy it for you on the way. You open a menu for me, and I'll make a note of it. ”

"A pound of beef, a big male fish head, two pounds of pork ribs, a bag of Chinese cabbage, a handful of seaweed, that's all."

After hanging up Xia Ying's phone, Xiao Fei walked into the conference room, at this time Secretary Zhou was commenting on the new rural construction work in several villages, and most of the comments were praised, but they also put forward some critical opinions to the point, such as when the comments came to Sujia Village, he pointed out that the village's plan for developing the village-level economy was relatively empty, the measures were not specific, and the mass work team stationed in the village did not penetrate the masses enough, did not fully grasp the village conditions and public opinion, and did not formulate a feasible assistance plan.

When hearing this critical comment, Su Anlin, who was sitting side by side with Xiao Fei, turned his head and stared at him with dissatisfied eyes, and his heart was completely desperate: it seems that Li Hongbin's judgment is right, Secretary Zhou and Xiao Fei have no special relationship at all, and they should still criticize when they should be criticized, and it is impossible for the village to become Secretary Zhou's hook and help point......

After commenting on all the villages that have been inspected, the next step is for Secretary Zhou to announce the names of the villages he is about to help. The village party secretary and village director sitting in the audience stretched their necks one by one, their eyes were projected on Secretary Zhou's face, holding their breath and waiting for him to read out the name of the lucky village.

Secretary Zhou first took a sip of tea from the teacup, then glanced at the people in the audience with a majestic gaze, and said slowly: "According to the results of today's investigation and investigation, taking into account various factors, I decided to take Sujia Village as my hook and support point. In the second half of the year, I will go to Sujia Village from time to time to conduct investigation and research, and provide some reference opinions for the economic development of the village, coordinate with relevant departments to help the village, and strive to build Sujia Village into a model village for new rural construction in the province. ”

When they heard the words "Sujia Village", almost all the people in the audience, including Li Hongbin and other town leaders, didn't believe their ears, they were all stunned, they forgot to applaud, and turned their eyes to Su Anlin and Su Guangxi, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

Luo Guichang, who was sitting next to Zhou Chengjie, couldn't help frowning when he saw that the audience was silent, and said loudly: "Comrades, didn't you hear Secretary Zhou's words clearly? Secretary Zhou's decision to link up and help Sujia Village is a huge support and encouragement for the construction of new rural areas in Qingyuan County and Yanshan Town, and it is also a huge driving force for us to further do a good job in rural work and accelerate the construction of beautiful villages. I propose that everyone thank Secretary Zhou for his wise decision with the warmest applause! ”

It was only at this time that the participants reacted and began to applaud warmly with Luo Guichang.

Su Anlin, like everyone else, was stunned when he heard the words "Sujia Village" at the beginning, as if he was in a dream, until everyone turned their eyes to him and Luo Guichang emphasized Secretary Zhou's decision, he came to his senses, and suddenly his face was flushed with excitement, and he raised his hand to applaud desperately, while looking at Xiao Fei with a few grateful eyes, if it weren't for the fact that there were still many people around him staring at him, he would almost give Xiao Fei a big hug on the spot - because he knew very well: with the hardware and software conditions of Sujia Village, It is impossible to be identified by Secretary Zhou as a hook and help point. And now this dream has unexpectedly come true, and there is only one reason: Secretary Zhou chose Xiao Fei, a person who was stationed in the village to help, instead of Sujia Village. If Xiao Fei was stationed in Shikeng Village, the village that Secretary Zhou helped would definitely be Shikeng Village......

After the meeting, Zhou Chengjie and other city and county leaders drove back to the county seat, and the party secretaries and directors of several other villages surrounded Su Anlin and Su Guangxi, shouting that they would have dinner and smoke at night.

Su Anlin's face was so excited that his face lit up, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he couldn't stop thanking everyone, promising to invite everyone to the town for dinner in the evening, and instructed Su Yuejin, the accountant in the village, to buy two "He Tianxia" cigarettes immediately, and distribute them at the dinner table.

Then, Su Anlin took Xiao Fei's hand and said with a smile: "Cadre Xiao, you are a great hero in our village, you are the protagonist of tonight's banquet, Director Xiancan and I want to toast you with a few glasses of wine, and thank you for your contribution to our village." ”

Before Xiao Fei could answer, Li Hongbin also got down from the rostrum with a smile on his face, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said: "Comrade Xiao Fei, congratulations on winning Secretary Zhou's hook and support point for Sujia Village. In the evening, I also attended the banquet in the village, and I would like to give you a few glasses of wine, firstly, to congratulate you, and secondly, to apologize for my unfriendly attitude towards you in the previous two days. ”

It turned out that Li Hongbin saw that Zhou Chengjie finally chose Sujia Village as his help point, and immediately realized that it was because of Xiao Fei, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and at the same time nervous and panicked again: It seems that Secretary Zhou really looks down on this Xiao Fei and loves him a little, even if they don't have a special intimate relationship, but if Xiao Fei gets Secretary Zhou's appreciation, it will be just around the corner in the future. And in the past few days, he has already offended Xiao Fei fiercely, in case he gains power in the future, it will be a huge hidden danger to himself!

So, he made a decisive decision immediately: he must quickly take the initiative to reconcile with Xiao Fei, gain his understanding, or at least persuade him not to hold grudges. Therefore, when he saw that Xiao Fei was still in the conference room, he immediately stepped off the rostrum and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Xiao Fei, wanting to "laugh and enmity" with him......

Xiao Fei was very disgusted with his "chameleon" style, and did not stretch out his hand to shake him, and said coldly: "Secretary Li, I'm very sorry, I'm going back to the county seat to invite someone to dinner in the evening, and the toast will be avoided." You are a dignified secretary of the town party committee, and I am just an ordinary clerk who has been punished, and it is natural for you to criticize me a few words, and I can't afford to apologize to me again! ”
