It is the second largest city in Jiangnan Province, and its prosperity is second only to the provincial capital Hucheng.

Laugh at!

A white Jetta pulled up on a bare dirt slope and kicked up a puff of smoke.

It took about two minutes for the smoke to dissipate.

With a bang, the car door opened, and Chen Yang, who was dressed casually, got out of the car.

Alone.

Standing on this high point, you can see that there is bare loess everywhere, and just four of them ago, this area is still full of crops. Nowadays, it is definitely a barren place.

The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, but this place is circled.

There are endless troubles!

Chen Mian muttered silently in his heart.

The previous mayor and secretary of Jiaozhou City were planted on this barren land. Of course, they did not expect that the original project of the Economic Cooperation Zone would be turned into a unfinished project.

Last week, Chen Yang had already completed all the handover procedures at the Provincial Planning Commission, and the candidate to succeed him was recommended by him, former deputy director Wang Ping, a middle-aged cadre who had become a serious veteran.

After resting for less than two days, I rushed to Jiaozhou.

Now, he has completed the formalities such as the appointment in the Organization Department of Jiaozhou City, and has met and chatted with Mayor Fang and Secretary Tian and other members of the Jiaozhou Standing Committee, and he has officially taken up the post of director of the Preparatory Committee of the Jiaozhou Economic Cooperation Zone and secretary of the party group, and the administrative level has been transferred from the department level to the deputy department level.

Originally, according to the intention of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, he would not go to Jiaozhou until the end of the New Year to take up his post, but Jiaozhou was in a hurry, so he seized the time to go through all these formalities before the year.

Now, the official is promoted, but he can't laugh.

It's not that I can't laugh. At least he could still laugh wryly twice.

After smoking two cigarettes, Chen Yang returned to the car. The car was started and returned to Jiaozhou City.

Halfway through, he received a call from his new secretary, Wan Wei, that the ticket had been bought, and asked him if he was going to pick it up immediately.

Chen Yang said yes, and then made an appointment to meet outside Jiaozhou Airport.

Half an hour later, Chen Yang met Wan Wei under the bell tower outside the airport.

Wan Wei was found by Secretary-General Li Zhiguo after completing the formalities this morning, he was tall, thin, and sven, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and he happened to be 30 years old this year, and he had been staying in the secretariat of the Jiaozhou Municipal Party Committee since graduating from university, and his current rank was that of a deputy section. It turned out to be the third secretary of Mayor Zhao Qing. After Mayor Zhao was adjusted to the provincial party committee, he didn't have anything serious to do, and his grandmother didn't love his uncle. This time, I can serve as Chen Yang's secretary, and I think I have walked around in private.

Chen Yang is now a commander of the light pole, and this Wan Wei is his first soldier.

Of course, he had already met Wan Wei before he came. There's another layer to this guy. He is the cousin of Lao Wan of the Inspectorate.

When Lao Wan introduced him that night, Chen Yang didn't think there was anything wrong, anyway, he was doing work, and it was better to use raw than cooked. Especially the position of secretary, it needs to be filled by one's own people, and many things that are inconvenient for leaders to say and do have to be handled by the secretary.

After handing over the ticket, Wan Wei said with some embarrassment: "Director Chen, Secretary General Li called earlier, saying that the housing of the municipal party committee is tight, and your house may take some time to be solved." ”

Chen Yang smiled and said that he had no problem. He was not polite, and he really didn't think that the house problem should be solved by the organization.

"Director Chen," Wan Wei hesitated. "You, you really don't need me to go to Yanjing with you?"

"Hehe, forget it, it's the New Year in a few days, you better stay at home. Listen to your cousin. You only got a big fat boy two months ago. Let's spend a stable year at home with my wife and son. Chen Yang said with a smile. I thought about it. Again. "Well, after the fifteenth, you can go to Yanjing again."

After speaking, he handed over the car keys to Wan Wei and walked into the airport by himself.

Wan Wei was stunned with the car keys, and said in his heart that what his cousin said was really right, this Director Chen is really one. Niuren, empty-handed, just went to Yanjing on a business trip? Think about Chen Yang's words again. It's even warmer in my heart. Shaking his head, he drove Chen Yang's car away.

When Chen Yang's flight arrived in Yanjing, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening.

Before coming, he had already informed Chen Ruonan. I don't know if it's because I'm not available or if I'm feeling uncomfortable. After waiting outside the airport for more than ten minutes, I didn't see a single figure.

Chen Ruonan does not have a cell phone or pager. Can't be reached. In desperation, he had no choice but to wait.

After waiting for almost ten minutes, he finally got impatient, stopped a taxi, and was just about to get in the car, when Chen Ruonan's familiar voice came from behind him.

"Yo, you've only been waiting for twenty minutes and you're getting impatient?"

Chen Yang said sorry to his brother. closed the car door again, and then turned around, only to see Chen Ruonan, who was wearing a long windbreaker, standing slim behind him, with a smile on his face.

He immediately became angry and walked quickly to Chen Ruonan. lowered his voice and shouted: "Chen Ruonan, have you made a mistake?" How many hours are you still making jokes like this? ”

Chen Ruonan didn't speak, "One more word." Turn around and go straight ahead.

"Ho, are you still reasonable?"

Chen Yang hurriedly chased after him and grabbed Chen Ruonan's hand.

Chen Ruoji paused, turned his head and said: "I'm here to teach you, don't call me every time you come back to Yanjing, what's wrong, you really think I'm your driver, aren't you?" ”

Chen Yang was speechless for a while, he really had this thought, and coughed dryly: "Okay, this is the last time, okay, if I call you again in the future, I will have your surname Chen!" ”

"Cut, boring!"

Chen Ruonan secretly took a sip and gave a very pertinent evaluation of Chen Yang's garbage joke.

After walking along the road for more than ten minutes, the two came to the place where Chen Ruonan parked. Chen Yang got into the driver's seat without saying a word, and said while starting the car: "Park a car and park so far, how old a person is, and you are so naïve, I think you are boring." ”

Chen Ruonan ignored Chen Yang's grunt. A pair of big bright eyes stared at Chen Yang's face without blinking, and frowned: "Chen Yang, why did you lose a lot of weight when you came back this time?" ”

"Really?"

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment. I subconsciously took a look at the rearview mirror of the ceiling, and I didn't feel anything. Then he said: "Maybe it was boiled up by staying up all night reading Wen Jiàn a few days ago." Some time ago, he was busy with the handover procedures and had to prepare for the preparatory committee of the Economic Cooperation Zone in advance, so he stayed up several all-nighters to make up for the preparatory documents of the Economic Cooperation Zone.

"Ho, you're still staying up all night reading the text? I think I went to the song hall to boil it. Chen Ruonan looked incredulous.

"You!"

Chen Yang was choked, but Chen Ruonan was really right, because he was promoted. There was a lot of socializing. Cadres under his command. The leaders above, as well as Wu Gang and other princelings in provincial capitals, all wanted to get together. I don't even have much to do with him... Ji Guohang sent an invitation, but he didn't refuse, but it was really fun, not to mention Ji Xian'er knew that he was going to the capital to do business and couldn't bring himself, so he pestered him all night. I'm tired enough.

"Why, I guessed it." Chen Ruonan said unrelentingly.

Chen Yang stopped talking, slammed the accelerator, and the jeep drove away......

Halfway through, Chen Yang asked again: "By the way, Ruonan, have you prepared all the things I asked me to bring from home?" ”

"No, I went shopping in the afternoon." Chen Ruonan replied truthfully, and then asked, "When will you go back this time?" Can I spend the seventh day at home? ”

"The seventh day of the first month?" Chen Yang laughed to himself. "If you don't make it, you might not be able to go back on this trip."

"Really?" Chen Ruonan's eyes lit up and asked. "Well, didn't I tell you about it last month. I have been transferred to Jiaozhou to work, and now I am the director of the Preparatory Committee of Jiaozhou Economic Cooperation Zone, and I came up specifically to run this project. Chen Yang said with a wry smile.

Chen Ruonan sneered and laughed: "Then you should be a department-level cadre now, hehe." Gao is dry. "Don't look at her as a member of the military system, she is clear about the level of the government. Under normal circumstances, department-level cadres can be called senior cadres if they go up.

Chen Yang snorted. Sullen car, ignoring her ridicule.

After a while, he asked, "That's right." Why didn't I see you come out in a military uniform today? ”

"Now that school is on winter vacation, I don't have to go to class and wear any military uniform. What's wrong? ”

"It's nothing, I just think you still look better in a military uniform, and you look quite majestic." Chen Yang said casually while driving.

Chen Ruonan secretly glanced at Chen Yang, but did not reply.

When the car was about to drive home, Chen Ruonan suddenly remembered something and exclaimed: "Chen Yang, I forgot the entry and exit cards in the dormitory." ”

Chen Yang was also stunned, and secretly said that this Chen Ruonan is really unreliable, they can't go back to the high-walled compound without access cards, and those armed policemen at the gate of the courtyard don't care who you are.

"Forget it. I'll spend the night in your school dormitory tonight. Chen Yang said a compromise plan.

Chen Ruonan didn't think there was anything too wrong, so he said, "That's okay, but don't feel that the bed board is hard." ”

It took nearly twenty minutes to drive all the way. Chen Yangcai drove the jeep into the National Defense University. After parking the car, the two of them walked together in the direction of the faculty dormitory.

The doorkeeper of the dormitory was an elderly aunt, and when she saw Chen Ruonan coming back, she opened the small door and greeted her warmly: "Hehe, Mr. Xiao Chen, this comrade is your lover, right?" ”

Chen Ruonan originally lived in a single dormitory, and it was very uncomfortable for several people to live in one room, so he asked his mother for a marriage certificate. Only then did he get a two-bedroom dormitory at the school, which is only a treatment for married people. Therefore, the aunt who watched the gate did not feel strange to see her bring a man back.

Chen Ruonan's face turned red after hearing this, and he wanted to refute, but he also knew that he brought a man back in the middle of the night, and it was useless to say too much, so he secretly said that this Aunt Tang is really troublesome, and then he hummed softly like a mosquito, and led Chen Yang into the small door.

Chen Yang didn't see any gaffes, after all, he and Chen Ruonan had been husband and wife for more than ten years in his last life, and the awkwardness had already passed. I saw him smile and nod to his aunt, and then went into the duty room and registered on the visit registration form.

After registering, the two were about to go out, but they were stopped by Aunt Tang: "Hey, hey, Teacher Xiao Chen, wait a minute, you haven't signed the notebook yet." ”

Chen Ruonan sighed, turned around and walked to the table, picked up the pen, and signed his name next to Chen Yang's name.

Just about to throw down the pen, Aunt Tang pointed to the last column of the book and said: "Oh, there is still here, you have to write clearly about the relationship between the two of you." ”

Chen Ruonan had never brought anyone back before, so he really didn't know that the dormitory building had such rules, so he was a little stunned, glanced at Chen Yang, but found that he was standing next to him like no one, his face was hot again, and he quickly lowered his head and filled in the word "husband and wife" in the column of relationship with visitors.

Throwing down the pen, he hurriedly pulled Chen Yang, who was standing like a log, and urged with a red face: "Let's go, what are you doing standing stupidly." ”

"See you later, auntie." Chen Yang was very polite, and did not forget to say hello to the doorman before leaving.

Aunt Tang picked up the registration book, nodded happily at Chen Yang, and said to herself, "This Teacher Chen." is cold on weekdays, but her lover is quite enthusiastic, and she is really right. Then he glanced down at the content filled in by Chen Yang, and couldn't help muttering, Director of the Preparatory Committee of the Economic Cooperation Zone of Jiaozhou City, Jiangnan Province? What kind of official is this? I don't know if it's big or not?

To be honest, the dormitory of the National Defense University is really not good. The structure of red bricks and red tiles is probably from the 60s.

However the house is a bit old, but very clean.

Chen Yang looked all the way east and west. It's pretty fresh, too.

From time to time, I will meet some professors and teachers who are full of food and have nothing to do, and when they see Chen Ruonan, they will stop and say a few words, which is nothing more than "Hehe, Mr. Chen, this is your lover?" Hehe, Mr. Chen, you love Spota and look quite energetic. "Blah blah.

It was a cold day, but Chen Ruonan felt like he was being roasted on the stove, and he felt hot all over. It wasn't until this moment that she really realized that it was a terrible decision to lead Chen Yang back to the dormitory, and she knew that she should let Chen Yang live in a hotel outside.

Dangping lowered his head, blushing and pulling Chen Yang, who was very polite and greeted some professors and experts from time to time, walked faster and faster.

But the more she lowered her head, the easier it was to attract attention, not to mention that the whole house was occupied by teachers with families, and no one had ever seen her lover. I was curious for a while, and more and more people greeted me.

At this moment, even Chen Yang couldn't stand the enthusiasm of Chen Ruonan's colleagues, so he didn't care about greeting and greetings, and followed Chen Ruonan up to the fourth floor quickly.

I opened the door and entered the house. Chen Ruonan sat down on the sofa in the small living room like a force, and poured two cups of cold water in a row to relieve his strength.

"Ruonan, these colleagues in your school are really enthusiastic, I really didn't expect your usual popularity to be so good."

Chen Yang said as he said that there was a mess in Chen Ruonan's set, and things were thrown everywhere.

"You still say it, it's all your fault!"

Chen Ruonan snorted secretly, she couldn't figure out how the usual professors were so gossipy? The questions are endless!
