Chapter 108: The Lonely Lamp

In the next few days, Zhou Jing consciously distanced himself from the other party, even if he discussed things at work, he looked like he was doing business, and he was too serious, which made Qin Xiaoqian also bear psychological pressure, this kind of breath seems to be contagious, and for a week in a row, from top to bottom, almost everyone has a straight face, looking bitter and hateful, without a trace of laughter.

It was in this atmosphere that the news that Director Xie Changzhi was about to be transferred, and it was said that there was an intention to let him go to the Old Cadres Management Bureau to serve as the director of the bureau, and the candidate for the new director had not yet been determined.

Zhou Jing didn't get into this whirlpool, because Wang Yannian had already passed through him, and the candidate for the new director was most likely the Deputy Director Liu mentioned by Qin Xiaoqian, and among the several deputy directors of China Merchants Bureau, she was the only cadre with a female surname.

Deputy Director Liu used to work in the Management Committee of the Development Zone, and it has only been more than two years since he was transferred to the China Merchants Bureau, although he rarely leaves the office, but he is okay with people, he is very easy-going, and Qin Xiaoqian can also talk about it.

Although there is no discussion at the meeting, under Wang Yannian's efforts, Li Weiye has already nodded in agreement, since the secretary of the municipal party committee has opened the golden mouth, as long as there are no accidents, things will not change in any way, no matter how others move, it will be in vain, and it will not affect the result at all.

Of course, personnel adjustment matters have always been strictly confidential, including Deputy Director Liu himself, and very few people in China Merchants Bureau know about this matter, and only Zhou Jing knows about the next personnel arrangements.

Since he started to participate in the work, until now, although the time is not long, Zhou Jing has saved a stomach of secrets, but he can't tell them, that kind of taste is not very comfortable, but if you want to go long in the officialdom, you must learn to keep secrets, people with too big mouths will not be trusted after all, for this, he is convinced.

Wang Yannian's current situation has improved greatly, and even in terms of momentum, he is better than others, not only because the old leader has done some work to help him stabilize the table, but more importantly, he hung out a calligraphy work in the office, the artistic value of the work itself is debatable, but the payment of Li Shurong, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, is extremely precious and worth a thousand gold.

Since the calligraphy works were hung up, not only suppressed several competitors who were secretly putting cold arrows, but even the two main leaders of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee were impressed by him, and the calligraphy works of the third-in-command of the provincial party committee were able to get the hidden meaning, which is naturally self-evident, everyone is a fine figure in the officialdom, where can you not guess?

Compared with the past, the exposure rate has nearly doubled, and the exposure rate in the news media has always been a barometer of the turning point of the official's career, so in a short period of time, many people in Qingyang officialdom have received accurate signals that Wang Yannian is about to gain power!

And at this time, Yin Lao took a few old cadres who had worked in Qingyang, came back to investigate, although the old man has retired, but he still has a very high prestige in Qingyang City, the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, there are two or three of him who recommended it, among several mayors in these years, the only person who can wrestle with Secretary Li of the Municipal Party Committee, that is, him.

What's more, although Yin Lao has retired, his son-in-law is very competitive and has become the director of the Second Division of Cadres of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, including a number of deputy department-level cadres in Qingyang City.

Otherwise, if there is an accident during the cadre inspection, it will not be very pleasant, and people may not be able to help you, but if you want to dismantle the stage, it will be much easier, with a stroke of the pen, a few ambiguous comments will be written down, and it will be enough to drink a pot.

Several leaders in the city attach great importance to Yin Lao's trip to Qingyang, and arrange a series of activities to entertain the old leader, Zhou Jing also received a call, followed the political axe office, accompanied by Mayor Luo Yunfeng, Executive Vice Mayor Yang Qinglin, Vice Mayor Wang Yannian, Zeng Qinming and other leaders, to the highway intersection to meet, several leaders stood by the car smoking cigarettes, chatting, ten minutes later, I saw a minibus driving over.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Everyone hurriedly dropped the cigarettes, stepped forward to greet them, the car stopped, Yin Lao and several old cadres walked down one after another, seeing Mayor Luo Yunfeng personally came to greet them, the old cadres also felt very faced, so they all walked a few steps quickly, shook hands with everyone one by one, and greeted them warmly.

Yin Lao has a very good complexion, full of energy, a ruddy face, bright eyes, wearing a Zhongshan suit, holding a black crutch in his hand, although he is very polite, but he has a majestic momentum, so that everyone dare not underestimate him, he and a few other people just chatted casually, and then directly got into the car of the mayor Luo Yunfeng, and everyone got into the car one after another and went to the municipal axe.

To the conference room on the third floor, the oval desk, has been placed fruit drinks, each position, also put ashtrays, after everyone sat down, the mayor Luo Yunfeng took the lead in speaking, several leaders made reports respectively, to the old cadres to introduce the current development of Qingyang, Qingyang City TV reporters also rushed over, squatting a few meters away with the camera, the camera pointed at the leaders at the conference table, and left the back and butt to a group of escorts.

Feeling that the room was very stuffy, a little breathless, and everyone's speeches were all the same speeches, without any new ideas, Zhou Jing found an opportunity, quietly left the conference room, stood by the window of the corridor, felt out a cigarette, frowned and smoked.

After a while, Gao Yuan also turned out, pulled Zhou Jing to chat, and asked him to go out for a drink at night, but Zhou Jing felt that this person was too bold, and dared to carry Wang Yannian, fake the holy decree, and do many things that were out of line, so he didn't want to continue to have a deep relationship with him, so he found an excuse and pushed it away.

Although Gao Yuan was a little dissatisfied, he also felt that although Zhou Jing had not become a climate at this time, he was no longer Wuxia Ameng, and his words and demeanor had faintly revealed his strength, for him, he could only stutter, and it was not good to offend, so he accompanied the small words softly, which was very polite.

About an hour of effort, the symposium was over, everyone went to the political axe guest house, after lunch, a short rest, went to several pre-arranged inspection sites, including the agricultural machinery factory and Jinghu Group Xue Ge Garment Co., Ltd. infrastructure projects, the former is the most important state-owned enterprise in Qingyang City, no matter which leader comes, almost have to go over to inspect a circle, and the latter is famous, has become a new business card of Qingyang City.

Leaving the agricultural machinery factory, rushed to the development zone, to the infrastructure site, but saw a long line of cars, pulling all kinds of building materials in and out, the job site was crowded, hundreds of people of the construction team was divided into several waves, working nervously on the huge site, due to sufficient funds, strong financial resources, coupled with the great attention of the leaders of the municipal party committee, the project is progressing very smoothly, according to the current progress, at the latest in June and July next year, the main project can be completed.

It seems to be infected by the hot atmosphere of the scene, Yin Lao actually made a lot of poetry, immediately shook his head, and chanted a poem, although the poem did not work on the battle, and it did not rhyme too much, but it still got a full applause, and everyone at the scene applauded.

Mayor Luo Yunfeng asked the secretary to write down the verses, saying that when the time is ripe in the future, he will set up an inscription in the development zone and ask the leaders to sign as a souvenir, he also turned around and muttered a few words to Wang Yannian, asking him to invite Deputy Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee.

When coming out of the development zone, the sky has been dark, the original plan to go to Qingyang City No. 1 Primary School to visit, because of the relationship of time, had to be temporarily canceled, a group of leaders went to the political axe guest house, to participate in the dinner, it is said that the secretary of the municipal party committee, and several other members of the Standing Committee also to participate, but also invited the actors of the art troupe, for a wonderful performance.

Zhou Jing's accompanying task has been completed, so he didn't want to join in the fun, so he drove home directly, and after dinner, he and Li Jiani made a phone porridge, grinding hard and urging her to come back early, but Li Jiani just ate and laughed and refused to agree.

"Hey, Sister Jiani, if you don't come back, I'm really going to cheat!" Zhou Jing reclined on the sofa, put his legs on the coffee table, frowned, and threatened in a low voice.

Li Jiani laughed dumbly for a long time before she whispered: "If you have that ability, you will come out, which one is stopping you?" ”

Zhou Jing was helpless for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I really don't care? ”

Li Jiani snorted, nodded vigorously, and said with a serious face: "It's okay, Xiaojing, I don't want to interfere in your private life, as long as you remember to be good to me and know that you love me, it's enough." ”

Zhou Jing felt that this was like a trap, and he refused to be easily fooled, so he touched his nose and said with a smile: "Then how can I be, in terms of feelings, I have always been very single-minded." ”

Li Jiani laughed for a long time before biting her pink lip and said coquettishly: "Stinky boy, don't worry, you will definitely go back for the New Year." ”

Zhou Jing was a little speechless, and said stupidly: "Last time, I said that it was New Year's Day, but now it will be postponed to the New Year, and there is a difference of more than two months?" ”

Li Jiani sighed and said faintly: "There's no way, while studying, you still have to manage so many things, I've been really anxious lately, and I don't have skills, Xiaojing, if you do well, just be considerate of my sister!" ”

Listening to her pitiful, Zhou Jing stopped persecuting, just picked some interesting topics, coaxed Li Jiani to giggle, the two chatted for about an hour, until the phone was hot, then reluctantly hung up the phone, raised his wrist, looked at the table below, and saw that it was not yet eight o'clock in the evening, and it was still early, so he went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After coming out, he turned on the TV, sat on the sofa, held the remote control in his hand, broadcast the station at will, and finally broadcast it to the provincial station, watching a newly aired TV series, only watched less than half an episode, a crisp mobile phone ringtone suddenly rang, he looked at the number, and saw that it was Qin Xiaoqian calling, so he hesitated, and after a while, he answered the phone and said softly: "Hey, Sister Qin, is there something wrong?" ”

There was a long pause on the phone before a gentle voice came out: "Xiaojing, are you angry?" ”

"No, how could it be?" Zhou Jing took the remote control, turned down the sound of the TV, and said in a flat and authentic tone.

"Then tomorrow I'll take Jingjing to see Wuyang, can you go?" Qin Xiaoqian bit her pink lips, and on her pretty cheeks, there was a loss that could not be concealed, as if she was worried that Zhou Jing would refuse, and she said in an extremely sincere tone: "Wuyang is in trouble, and his former friends are far away from him, and now, we only have one trustworthy friend." ”

Zhou Jing was silent for a long time, and after all, he couldn't refuse, so he had to nod and say, "Okay, then let's go together tomorrow." ”

"Thanks, see you tomorrow!" There was an inaudible sound in his ears, followed by a blind sound, Zhou Jing was a little dazed, stunned for a long time, then sighed, turned off the TV, turned around and went to the study, took out a book from the bookshelf at random, and looked at it quietly, until two o'clock in the morning, there was still a lone lamp in the study.
