Chapter 95: Confrontation Begins

, making him completely unrecognizable. Only then did he leave the house and hail a cab. When the car started driving and the window was rolled down slightly, Hui Peng returned the caller's phone call...As soon as Xiao Jingyu left, the standing committee member and Organization Minister Chang Guoliang also stood up, tidied up the books on the table in a few moves, and followed him out of the standing committee meeting room. The remaining standing committee members looked at each other, their purposes were achieved, but their hearts were somewhat uneasy. 。

County magistrate Fang also slowly stood up and said, “Today, thank you all for your support. I, Fang, have always been a person who remembers kindness.” 。Then, Fang Ye also, accompanied by his secretary, walked out of the conference room. 。Everyone else dispersed as well. 。The secretary to the County Party Committee, Li Haiyan, witnessed the entire process of this Standing Committee meeting. 。But, after the meeting, Li Haiyan didn't immediately call Xiao Zheng. This matter was very special, not something good. Without Xiao Jingyu's consent, Li Haiyan felt that nothing should be done. 。County Committee Office Director Ma Fei also came back, looked at the door of Li Haiyan's office, and asked: "How is Secretary Xiao Is his mood particularly bad"Li Haiyan said: "Director Ma, I don't know. After I sent Secretary Xiao into the office, I came out." 。Ma Fei saw Li Haiyan speak without revealing anything, and thought to himself, "This little girl has become cunning after arriving at the County Party Committee!"

An hour later, County Party Secretary Xiao Jingyu made a phone call to Li Haiyan from his office, asking her to come over. 。Entering Xiao Shuji's office, Li Haiyan saw Xiao Jingyu sitting in his usual position. From Xiao Jingyu's face, Li Haiyan didn't see any obvious signs of frustration or displeasure. She vaguely sensed that Xiao Shuji had washed his face and put on makeup again, the whole person looked more energetic, with a heroic spirit mixed in. 。Some women are like that, the more they fail, the more courageous they become. 。Xiao Jingyu is probably the kind of woman like that, Li Haiyan couldn't help but admire Xiao Shuji in her heart. 。From Xiao Shujing's story, Li Haiyan felt she could learn a lot of things. 。Xiao Jingyu said to Li Haiyan, "You give Tianhuang Town's Commissioner Xiao a call and tell him about the situation at today's Standing Committee meeting. You don't need to hide any details, you can be specific." 。“It makes Xiao Shujing so trusting of Master Xiao Zheng, Li Haiyan was happy and immediately nodded: “Yes, Mr. Xiao.” 。"You can also tell him " 。The current situation is temporary, and one day our county will definitely promote "Beautiful and Rich Villages Construction". 。Li Haiyan said: “Okay, Xiao Shujiji, I will definitely tell my master your exact words.” 。That afternoon, it began to rain, accompanied by strong winds that swayed the trees. It felt as if autumn was just around the corner. 。After sending Xiao Shujing back to the hotel, Li Haiyan went straight to a small restaurant in the county town. 。This small eatery is right next to Li Haiyan's dormitory. It's so tiny it's barely bigger than a fly's nest, and water drips from the eaves above the door. 。Li Haiyan sometimes gets tired of the evening meals at the cafeteria, so she comes to this small restaurant to change her palate. 。

Tianhuang Town Party Committee member Xiao Zheng has already been waiting inside. 。Xiao Zheng's hair was slightly damp, probably from walking in and getting caught in the rain. 。There are already three dishes on the table: braised pig trotters with soybeans, chili pepper steamed fish pieces, and tomato egg soup. There are also two bottles of beer. 。"Here you are" Xiao Zheng smiled at Li Haiyan as she walked in, and then poured beer into both her glass and his own. 。Li Haiyan sat down and looked at Xiao Zheng, saying, "Master, I'm sorry to have you travel all the way from Tianhuang Town." 。Xiao Zheng smiled and said, “What’s the hard work Don't forget, I share a car with Chairman Gao now, and the driver sent me over.” 。"How about some good news for me today"

Li Haiyan smiled wryly and said, "Master, I really want to bring you some good news too..." 。Today's news, I'm afraid, is not so optimistic. 。Li Haiyan told Xiao Zheng everything that happened at the Standing Committee meeting, in meticulous detail. 。This was instructed by Xiao Jingyu, and can be elaborated on. 。After that, Li Haiyan picked up her beer glass and said to Xiao Zheng: "Master, I'm sorry. The 'Rich Countryside' proposal didn't pass at the Standing Committee meeting." 。Xiao Zheng chuckled lightly and said, "Silly girl, why are you apologizing It has nothing to do with you. This is a deliberate attempt by some people who hoard their treasures to..." 。But, you still brought me good news, Xiao Shu. Didn't she say she would still persevere Maybe we could start this work in the near future"

Of course, Xiao Zheng also knows that this "near future" is really hard to say! By that day, whether Xiao Shu is still the county magistrate of An County is also hard to say. 。Xiao Zheng took a swig of beer, draining his glass in one gulp. 。Li Haiyan, seeing this, also picked up a beer bottle and poured some beer into Xiao Zheng's empty flat-bottomed cup. 。Xiao Zheng saw Xiao Xiao and said: “Let’s just forget about those things for now. Come, have some drinks and pig trotters.” 。"Li Haiyan smiled and said, "I'll just have soybeans." 。"That can't be done! I heard pig trotters are full of collagen," 。Li Haiyan only then smiled, picking up a small piece of chopped pig's trotters. 。The news that Xiao Jingyu, the county party secretary, returned empty-handed from this Standing Committee meeting spread rapidly throughout the county organs, towns and departments. 。Many people believe that County Party Secretary Xiao Jingyu, despite being a young female cadre parachuted in, is no match for veteran official Fang Ye when it comes to navigating the complexities of power. 。They believed that after this battle, Xiao Jingyu would surely learn a lesson and wouldn't dare to act recklessly again in the future. From today onwards, An County would immediately return to Fang Ye being the sole dominant force. 。。Then, phone calls inviting the County Magistrate to dinner came pouring in like snowflakes to the County Magistrate's secretary. 。The secretary reported the situation to County Magistrate Fang and suggested, "County Magistrate Fang, these people only thought of inviting you to dinner today, before they were always watching! Should the County Magistrate ignore them!"

Fang also shook his head and said, "As County Magistrate, we have to fill our stomachs to sail the boat" 。We need to get things done, or we're going to have to rely on the people below us. 。Now they finally realize who's really in charge in this county, and it's not too late. 。Make a reasonable schedule for these dinners, and decide if you're going or not. 。"The secretary said, 'County Head, you're right. I'm a bit of a petty coward.'" 。I'll schedule that right away. 。When Xiao Zheng walked into Guan Wenwei's office the afternoon of the second day, Guan Wenwei clearly had already learned about the situation and said with regret: "In the county, Secretary Xiao still lacks left and right arms, there is no way to compete with County Magistrate Fang." 。From now on, Song Shuji will never agree to our town pushing forward with the 'Beautiful Rural Construction' project. 。"Xiao Zheng sat in the chair and said, “Is this all we can do about it”

Guan Wenwei threw a cigarette to Xiao Zheng: "Brother, I know you want to make something of yourself." 。But our work in the government requires the right time, place, and people. We currently lack all three, so it's unlikely for us to succeed. 。"Xiao Zheng took a harsh drag of his cigarette: "Even though it's the right thing to do, I can't." 。I'm not going to let this slide. 。"Guan Wenwei glanced at Xiao Zheng and said, “Brother, I think this matter can be put on hold for now. Given the current situation, if we rush it, it might not be good for your future.” 。Xiao Zheng also raised his eyes to look at Guan Wenwei, speechless. 。He believes Guan Wenwei said this for his own good, not wanting to see him hit a wall or fall flat on his face anymore. 。But Shao Zheng's heart was still unconvinced. 。Guan Wenwei naturally also saw the stubbornness still burning in Xiao Zheng's eyes. He earnestly advised once again: "Xiao Commissioner, you have worked so hard to get to where you are today. You can't easily lose your position again." 。The situation within the county party committee and government wasn't very clear to us a while back, but now things are becoming increasingly clearer. 。At the county committee, Secretary Xiao's words probably don't count for much. Even if she supports you, she won't be able to help you. 。If someone targets you, finds your weakness, and tries to take you down from your position, even Xiao Shuji might be powerless to stop it. 。Brother, we still need to judge the situation and act accordingly. 。"The meaning of 'knowing the times and seizing the opportunity' probably means 'enduring hardship even when wronged.'" 。Xiao Zheng also couldn't think of what else he could do under the current circumstances besides bearing it.

At this time, Xiao Zheng's phone rang 。Xiao Zheng here, "Master, what are you doing here" Xiao Zheng smiled and whispered, "I just had some late-night snacks, it's too late to go back to town now" 。Li Haiyan nodded, then turned to the back...
