Chapter 125: Mixed Blessings
Approaching the end of the year, the weather is gradually getting colder, Jiangzhou Province is close to the coastal area, there is rarely severe cold weather in winter, more than 20 years, there have only been a few snowfalls, Rao is like this, the pedestrians on the street have also changed their winter clothes, Zhou Jing did not change his clothes, but he was also outside the shirt, and there was an extra white shoulder.
Qin Xiaoqian hooked it up with her own hands, she wanted to knit two sweaters, one for Zhang Wuyang to keep, and the other for Zhou Jing, because she was worried that He Yufeng would gossip, she didn't consult this ready-made master, but by feeling, she was busy at home for less than a week and completed the first work.
It's a pity, due to the unfamiliar skills, the sweater is knitted wrong, to the minute hand, the back is more than the front of eight needles, on both sides of each received fifteen needles, the first weaving after the reduction of seven needles, the front of the reduction of three or four needles, to the neckline position, more weaving out of seven or eight lines, after weaving only to find that the front is narrower, the position of the minute hand is not very good-looking, very awkward.
In desperation, Qin Xiaoqian removed the sweater, humbly asked He Yufeng for advice, and under her careful guidance, she finally knitted a beautiful shoulder, when she gave this white shoulder to Zhou Jing, watching him put it on, her heart was full of a sense of achievement, and after going back, she began to get busy again, and spent half a month carefully knitting an extremely thick sweater, leaving it for Zhang Wuyang to keep out the cold.
Two days before New Year's Day, the court held a trial of Zhang Wuyang's case in private, and after deliberation, three of the five charges were finally implemented, and he was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
After the verdict was issued, Zhou Jing brought wine and food, and went to see Zhang Wuyang, compared with the previous two visits, this meeting was much more relaxed, and no one even monitored the corridor, the two sat at the dining table, chatted while drinking, and drank for more than three hours, and finally got drunk to the ground, Zhou Jing actually slept in the detention center all night, and left the next morning.
A few days later, Xie Changzhi was finally transferred, and Deputy Director Liu Jinlan took over as the new director of the Investment Promotion Bureau.
In order to make this handover seem logical, he handed over a lot of work to the other party, and the most he did was to go to the development zone to track the infrastructure projects of Jinghu Group and help coordinate and solve some practical problems.
The special relationship between Zhou Jing and Mr. Wei is almost well known in the leading group sent by Jinghu Group, the deputy general manager Zhao Qiancheng, who was originally very big, and the usual leaders did not pay attention to it, but he was doubly polite to Zhou Jing, every time he saw him, he would treat each other warmly, and it didn't take long for the two to get acquainted and become New Year's friends who talked about everything.
Because the knot in his heart has never been completely untied, the relationship between Zhou Jing and Qin Xiaoqian has become unstable, often hot and cold, whenever he sees that pretty face, Zhou Jing's mood will become extremely complicated, and it is difficult to face it calmly.
However, the promise between him and Zhang Wuyang was like an invisible shackle, binding him, so that he could not give birth to other ideas, so he could only pay attention to this beautiful young woman from afar, and when she encountered difficulties, he appeared in time to help solve them, and then left silently.
After Li Siyan's careful guidance, Zhou Jing also began to train dolphins in a similar way, but the progress was extremely slow, because most of the time, the two were playing by the pool, and the two of them left the two dolphins to the side in the cold.
Although the little beauty has a strange surname and is moody, she is very good to Zhou Jing, even if she makes an awkward scene on the spot, she will take the initiative to call to apologize and ease the relationship after three or five days, therefore, Zhou Jing gradually gained the upper hand, which made Li Siyan quite unhappy, every time she thought about it, she would be annoyed, and find all kinds of excuses to make it difficult for Zhou Jing, so as to make her psychology more balanced.
After getting off work on Friday, Zhou Jing drove to the Hongyanlou Hotel, and found that Niu Li, Yang Hengsheng, and his father Zhou Xueming of the agricultural machinery factory had arrived, everyone chatted in the house, and waited for more than ten minutes.
"Young man, you did a really good job, I heard that you are about to be transferred to the municipal party committee office?" Zeng Qinming held Zhou Jing's hand, shook it vigorously, and said with a smile, the two rarely have contact, but because of Wang Yannian's relationship, every time they meet, they seem very close.
Zhou Jing smiled slightly, and said softly: "A few days ago, the secretary general talked to him, saying that he would go to work after the New Year, and if there was no problem, he would follow Deputy Secretary Yu first." β
Zeng Qinming's face was surprised, then he nodded, patted Zhou Jing's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's really good, the opportunity is rare, you have to take advantage of it!" β
"Definitely, thank you Mayor Zeng for your concern!" Zhou Jing smiled, sat down casually, and saw that everyone was looking at the complicated eyes, but his heart was not calm, Yu Manting, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, was very low-key, and rarely showed his head, but his prestige in Qingyang City was very high, and he was also deeply appreciated by Li Weiye, secretary of the municipal party committee.
Wang Yannian clasped his hands on his shoulders and said with a smile: "I remember, the first time I met Zhou Jing before, it was in Hongyan Tower, it seems to be this private room, right?" β
Niu Li hurriedly said: "Yes, I was present with Lao Yang and Lao Zhou at that time, that time it was the secretary Gao who drove to the school and picked up Director Zhou. β
Wang Yannian smiled, touched his hair, and said with a smile: "Yes, it looks like the New Year is coming, in retrospect, this kid is the biggest discovery this year, and after transferring him, my work here has been much smoother." β
"You, it's not going to be beautiful for a few days!" Zeng Qinming waved his hand and interjected beside him: "I said last time, I want to transfer him to the Education Bureau, you don't want to live or die, you can't hide it now, in the end, someone dug up the corner!" β
Wang Yannian shook his head with a smile, and said softly: "It's okay to dig in such a corner, as long as it is good for this child's future, I am still willing to do it, including Gao Yuan, if he has a good place to go, I will send him warmly, and I will never delay his future." β
Gao Yuan listened, but secretly frightened, although he was smiling on the surface, he looked at Zhou Jing with extremely jealous eyes, he knew very well that Mayor Wang said this, for Zhou Jing, it was a weight and praise, and for himself, it was a warning and beating, if he made another mistake, this secretary would not be able to be.
This is not that he is too careful, in fact, in the past two or three months, Gao Yuan has obviously felt that he has fallen out of favor, Wang Yannian has a lot of things, and he is deliberately avoiding him, and there are rumors outside, Mayor Wang is going to be transferred to work in the province, many people go to Gao Yuan to inquire about the news, but Gao Yuan has no way to give an accurate reply.
He wanted to inquire side-by-side, but was scolded by Wang Yannian, made him disgraced, very faceless, just half an hour ago, he just wrote a check and put it on Wang Yannian's desk, hoping to get the old leader's understanding, but Wang Yannian's review can still be recognized, and he is still a mystery.
On the other hand, Zhou Jing has done a good job in China Merchants, not only becoming the director of the Investment Promotion Office with real power, but also entering the work of the Municipal Party Committee Office, and giving Deputy Secretary Yu a full-time secretary, which is something that many people dream of, although Deputy Secretary Yu is only the nominal third-in-command, but in terms of influence in Qingyang, he is not inferior to Mayor Luo Yunfeng, and he is a real person with real power.
What's more, if the rumors outside are true, once two years later, Deputy Secretary Yu sits on the throne of the secretary of the municipal party committee, then the status of his secretary will naturally rise, just like the current Qingyang first secretary Liang Baocheng, with great energy, there is nothing that can't be done in Qingyang, let alone idle leaders, even if those Standing Committee members see him, they must be polite, no one dares to show their faces, this is the way.
"Will this young man next to him become the second Liang Baocheng?" Gao Yuan held the cup in his hand, his eyes looked at Zhou Jing, and an extremely complicated expression appeared on his face, although he was a little unwilling, he had to admit that he had been left far behind, and it was difficult to catch up.
Niu stood up and filled everyone with wine, several people began to take turns to toast the leader, the atmosphere on the wine table became very harmonious, a few glasses of wine down, Zeng Qinming's face was flushed, turned sideways, and said to Wang Yannian: "Yannian, these days, there are a lot of rumors outside, all say that your brother has received the attention of the leaders of the provincial party committee, and will soon be promoted, is there such a thing?" β
Wang Yannian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Qinming, those are all rumors chasing after the wind and shadows, and they are not reliable at all." β
Zeng Qinming snorted, lowered his voice and said: "Yannian, this is yours, the inscription of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee is hung in the room, but it is still kept secret from me, it is really not righteous enough!" β
Wang Yannian picked up the wine glass with a smile, touched it with him, took a sip, leaned over, and said mysteriously: "The Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee is coming down to investigate, and the leader of the team is the director of the Second Cadre Division, but the results will not be available until after the year. β
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I'm a stuffy gourd, only in and out!" Zeng Qinming showed envy on his face, leaned over, and continued to ask the bottom of the question: "Are you going to the province to be the director?" β
Wang Yannian waved his hand and said in a low voice: "No, it seems to go to the contemporary county magistrate of Lin'an County, you know, something happened over there recently, implicating a group of cadres, speaking of which, the pressure is quite high." β
"It's about the bridge breaking!" Zeng Qinming took the cup, took a sip of wine, and said with envy: "Yannian, I really want to congratulate you this time, Lin An's foundation is better than Qingyang, and there is a chance to be upgraded to a prefecture-level city, you are really going to soar this time, don't forget to help my brothers, I will toss in Qingyang for another two years, if I don't have a chance, I will find a way to go to Lin An and follow you!" β
"That's nature, what else are the two of us talking about, everything is in the wine!" Wang Yannian picked up the cup and touched it with him, and the two looked at each other and smiled, both of them drank it all.
Zhou Jing sat next to Wang Yannian, although the voice between the two was small, but he also heard it clearly, in fact, the news that Wang Yannian was going to be transferred, about two weeks ago, he had heard that a bridge in Lin'an County, just started less than half a year, it suddenly collapsed, and also fell off a school bus, killed a lot of students, the matter was very big, almost on the news broadcast of the central station, it is said that the governor was so angry that he dropped the cup, and sent two sets of investigation teams to investigate, and the result was a serious [***] case, There was a political earthquake that shocked the whole province, and the eleven members of the Standing Committee directly took down three, and a few were about to be transferred, and the cadres above were seriously distrustful of Lin An, and they had to send airborne troops over to start their work again.
At the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Li Shurong, deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, proposed to adjust the leadership of Lin An, and pointed out that it is necessary to send young cadres who are in the prime of life and have courage to Lin An to get the work done in order to eliminate the negative impact as soon as possible. Only a few people are aware of it.
This news is naturally a happy event for Wang Yannian, Qingyang is only a county-level city after all, according to the normal organizational procedures, he, the deputy mayor, must first become the executive deputy mayor before he can become the leader of the political axe of the county at the same level.
However, with the support of Deputy Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee, it was actually done in one step, saving at least three or five years of struggle, and between the deputy department level and the department level, it is a watershed for cadres, if he can survive at the level before 45, then there is still some rush, otherwise, it will be difficult to make progress, and he is very rare to become the head of a county at this age, and it is very rare in the entire Jiangzhou Province.
But for Zhou Jing, it is a big blow, he is in the leadership team of Qingyang City, and the deputy mayor Wang Yannian is the closest, and the relationship with others is very general, although now he is also on the line of Deputy Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee, and he can visit at any time, but the county officials are not as good as the current management, in Qingyang, this acre and three points of land, if you want to eat well, you have to find a backer in the local area.
Zhou Jing played with the wine glass, looked at Wang Yannian who was full of spring breeze beside him, took a sip, lit a cigarette, frowned and inhaled, in the faint smoke, a wry smile appeared on his mouth, the achievements only belong to the past, maybe, after the New Year, everything will start again, but I don't know, for himself, whether the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee can recognize, if he can't get the trust of the leader, and can't even be the leader's fart, then this secretary, don't do it, or obediently go to the Organization Department of the provincial party committee, Let's share a table with the little beauty Li Siyanββ
The strength of the medicine seems to have passed, plus a little annoying, to ease up for a few days, thank you for your recent support, the collection does not have to be brushed, and the collection that is brushed up is not interesting, Qin Xiaoqian's side, it is better to come naturally, it is barely interesting, no accident, it will be on the shelves next month, and it will break out from time to time according to the subscription situation.
