Xiong Dawei is indeed a man of temperament, and he has no shelf at all for people who are pleasing to the eye or more intimate people. The four of www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion chatted for a while, and said: "This is a clear talk, bland, find a card, and we will play double buckles." "Playing a double buckle, the attention was shifted, everyone was throwing the cards down, talking at the same time, and the atmosphere was more relaxed.

All comrades who are good at receiving people will arrange more activities, singing, dancing, playing cards, and traveling, and these specific things are all intermediaries, which can quickly bring people closer to each other and adjust the originally unharmonious atmosphere in place.

In the "snapping" sound of poker, everyone spoke very casually. Hou Weidong has worked in the comprehensive departments at the county, city, and provincial levels, and he has already installed a door in his mouth, although he also said some light words, but he has always kept a good turn and will never make jokes about Xiong Dawei.

He is the mayor, and his position is higher than Zhu Xiaoyong, but Zhu Xiaoyong is different, he is Meng Haofang's son-in-law, with this identity, it is okay to talk about jokes.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Xiong Dawei's eyes inadvertently looked at his wrist, Hou Weidong noticed this detail, found an opportunity, and took the initiative to say: "Secretary Xiong, it's not too early, we won't delay your rest time." ”

Xiong Dawei didn't pretentiously, put down the cards in his hand, and said, "Okay, there are a lot of things to do tomorrow." When shaking hands with Zhu Xiaoyong, he said: "Go to the capital another day, if you are free, go with me." ”

Zhu Xiaoyong said: "Brother Xiong can call me at any time." ”

Xiong Dawei shook hands with Hou Weidong again and said, "Brother Weidong, when you arrive in Maoyun, I will come to see you." He is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Lingxi Municipal Party Committee, and it is a gesture to be able to say this, and he regards Hou Weidong as a potential stock, and it is very valuable to make some emotional investment before the stock price is completely vacated.

For Hou Weidong, Xiong Dawei is not only the current provincial leader, but also a popular contender for the main provincial leaders in the future, and there are many benefits to being able to connect with him. However, he still has a layer of hidden worries, according to Meng Houshi's secret guidance, Xiong Dawei and the current governor Zhu Jianguo are not in harmony, if he gets too close to Xiong Dawei, causing Zhu Jianguo's suspicion, it will be a troublesome thing.

When he went home and got out of the car, Hou Weidong felt very tired, he stretched his waist and yawned a few times. When he walked to the doorway, a person suddenly flashed out and said in a low voice: "Mayor Hou, hello." ”

Hearing this voice, Hou Weidong stopped and looked at it, and the person who came was a strong man, in his forties, with short haircuts, and very energetic.

Hou Weidong knew that nine times out of ten the people who came were from Maoyun, and said, "You are?" ”

The visitor stepped forward, bent down slightly, held Hou Weidong's hand tightly with both hands, and said, "Mayor Hou, I am Li Ming from Cuishan County." ”

"Hello, County Magistrate Li." Hou Weidong had never seen Li Ming, but the name was familiar.

Maoyun has four counties and three districts, Xilu County, Dongxiang County, Cuishan County, Tieqiao County, Nanpu District, Daliangdu District, and Qingchi District.

It was the winter moon, the cold wind was bleak, and when Hou Weidong came out of the Venus Hotel, he was tightly wrapped in his coat, still feeling the cold wind. He smelled a smell of smoke on Li Ming's body, presumably while waiting, he smoked a lot.

"How long have you been here?"

Li Ming didn't answer directly, and said, "I've been here for a while." ”

"You're so sincere, you can call me directly, and we'll make an appointment to meet." Hou Weidong calculated in his heart, under normal circumstances, Li Ming should have come here around eight o'clock, but now it was already twelve o'clock, and he waited here for four hours.

Li Ming said: "I called Secretary Yan, and he said that you have a meeting outside, so I will wait here." ”

Hou Weidong also had a question in his heart at this time, "Li Ming must know the exact house number, where did he get this number?" However, since Qiao Lin was able to find this place, it was not surprising that Li Ming found this place.

At this time, it was already twelve o'clock, and he didn't want Li Ming to enter the house, but if he stood outside the house and said a few words, it seemed a little unkind.

Hou Weidong did not hesitate, stretched out his hand forward, and said, "It's windy outside, come into the house and say." ”

Li Ming could have sat in the car and waited for Hou Weidong, but the parking position was a little far away from the door of the building, and some trees blocked it, so in order not to miss something, he got out of the car and stood in the shade of the tree in front of the building. originally thought that Hou Weidong would come back soon, but he didn't expect that the wait would be four hours.

After waiting for an hour, he said in his heart, "Since I have been waiting for an hour, I will wait for a while." ”

When he waited for two hours, he said in his heart: "Two hours have passed, and I can't give up." ”

After waiting for three hours, he had begun to get bored and smoked.

Towards the fourth hour, he began to fight with himself, insisting on waiting until Hou Weidong.

The hard work paid off, and Hou Weidong finally appeared in sight.

followed Hou Weidong into the house, and the house was as warm as spring. The winter in Lingxi Province is very cold, but it is located south of the Yangtze River and there is no heating, so the winter in Lingxi is actually more difficult than in the north.

Xiao Jia didn't go to look for cards tonight, but went to her parents-in-law's house, and because her mother-in-law Chen Qingrong was not feeling well, she went to take care of her. Before leaving, she turned on the hot air conditioner in the house, so that Hou Weidong would not come back cold.

"It's so late, I'm afraid it will affect Director Zhang's rest." Li Ming waited downstairs for four hours, and never saw the lights turned on upstairs, so he naturally knew that there was no one, and he said this to appear polite.

Hou Weidong said: "She went to her mother's house and didn't come back at night." As he spoke, he took off his coat, put it on the sofa, and went to make tea.

Li Ming watched and listened to all directions, rushed to Hou Weidong in a few steps, and said, "Mayor Hou, you sit, I'll make tea." ”

Hou Weidong blocked Li Ming with one arm and said, "The person who comes is a guest, you sit." ”

Li Ming felt a relatively resolute strength in Hou Weidong's hand, so he didn't continue to insist, retreated to Hou Weidong's side, and stood with him.

Tea was brewed, the two smoked, and soon, the smoke filled the space and warmed the air.

Hou Weidong didn't take the initiative to speak, his face was very calm, smoking a cigarette, listening to Li Ming.

For the kind of cadres in front of him, he does not reject it from his heart, because he is about to become the mayor of Maoyun, and if he wants to gain a foothold in Maoyun and do things, he must need the cooperation of county and district leaders. Of course, he doesn't like this kind of cadre who is still standing outside the door at twelve o'clock, and in his heart, this kind of cadre is worse in style.

Society is complex, people are complex, and the concrete manifestation of complexity is that black and white are never distinct, but present a vague gray, black and white, good and bad, all fall into gray.

On the one hand, Hou Weidong was listening to his report very seriously, without an impatient expression, and on the other hand, Hou Weidong basically had no superfluous words, just briefly asked a few questions, did not make any evaluation of his report, and of course did not have words of encouragement.

Ten minutes later, Li Ming finished the report by himself, after all, it was twelve o'clock, he knew that Hou Weidong didn't really want to listen to the report, and he didn't really report either.

When he was about to go out, Li Ming's heart reached into his clothes.

At this time, when he came to the door, he should not be empty-handed, Hou Weidong's face sank, and his eyes swept Li Ming a few times.

After more than ten years of ups and downs, Hou Weidong's mind has become very special:

If no one comes to visit after the news of his appointment to Maoyun comes, this situation is very wrong.

It is also unreasonable for someone to come to visit and come empty-handed.

Giving money when someone comes to visit is also unacceptable.

How to visit and how to give gifts is a kind of knowledge, and if you practice in officialdom, you can't avoid it no matter what, unless your career is hopeless.

Li Ming's hand was slowly taken out, but it was a small box, and he said: "Mayor Hou, I heard that my aunt's health is not very good, so I asked for a home remedy, which may be effective for my aunt's illness." ”

Hou Weidong never expected Li Ming to take out such a gift, and the pretended dark clouds on his face immediately dissipated, and said, "Do you know what my mother's illness is?"

Seeing the smile on Hou Weidong's face, Li Ming was immediately relieved, in order to get close to Hou Weidong, he conducted a lot of investigation and research in the early stage, and finally judged that in order to impress Hou Weidong, he had to come up with a strange trick, but the trick was not an ordinary trick, it had to be a bit genuine and unexpected, it could be regarded as a trick.

When he learned that Hou Weidong's mother had lung cancer, Li Ming was overjoyed, there was a temple in his hometown, and there was an old monk in the temple. During the Cultural Revolution, the old monk was not old, very young, and was forced to return to the vulgar after still not giving birth, nor getting married, but running around the world, after the end of the Cultural Revolution, as a middle-aged monk rebuilt the temple, and at the same time turned into a miracle doctor. His specialty is to cure cancer, and the best effect is lung cancer.

Li Ming made a special trip to the temple to ask for prescriptions and the most difficult medicine primers, and sent them to Hou Weidong as treasures.

This gift won Hou Weidong's heart, and he said, "You sit down for a while, and I'll take a look at the recipe." ”

The recipe is written by an old monk, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, and the font is chic, but it is not easy to read. In order to increase its authenticity, Li Ming brought this recipe as it was, and at the same time copied a copy by himself and attached it to the back.

"What's this primer?"

"It is said to be a kind of weed behind the temple and the first leaf that sprouts in spring. This weed is very common and is found in the fields. ”

Hou Weidong took the medicine primer in the box and said: "The weeds are ordinary, but the first leaf of spring is not ordinary, and only those who have a heart can pick it." He took the initiative to stretch out his hand, shook hands with Zhang Ming, and said, "County Magistrate Zhang, thank you." ”

Zhang Mingqiang suppressed the joy in his heart, and said with a sincere and painful expression: "This medicine is very spiritual, and it will definitely be effective." ”
