Chapter 264: Celebrating the New Year in Hangzhou

s phone and glanced at it. Chen Guangming was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "County Magistrate Fang"Then he answered the call: "County Magistrate Fang, hello... ah... this... oh, okay... let m...Tan Siming knew that Yao Baixiang wouldn't be able to stay in An County for long. 。It would probably not be difficult to have him recalled to the provincial government from Anxian at this time, and running for election might not be a bad opportunity. 。Yao Bixiong, Tan Siming are definitely people to be concerned about. 。His son Tan Xiaojie's political career is completely over, and in the future, he will at most be able to run a business. 。But Yao Beixiang was different, he was already a regular department-level official, his starting point was even higher than Tan Xiajie's. If he could become the deputy county magistrate this time, his future path would be wider and there would be many more opportunities. 。Tan Siming had already heard that the province was going to hold an election, so he had been closely following the movements of An County Party Secretary Xiao Jingyu. He even sent people to track Xiao Jingyu's whereabouts in Hangzhou. Recently, they discovered that she had gone to the hospital in the middle of the night! Was there something wrong with Xiao Jingyu's health This made Tan Siming pay more attention. 。The higher-ups mean that Xiao Jingyu can't go any further. 。He then has to revolve around this goal. 。Perhaps because I paid more attention to Xiao Jingyu, I didn't pay enough attention to Yao Baixiang who remained in An County. 。They didn't even seem too concerned about the fact that Jingzhou would also be holding a public election. 。

Today Yao Bixiang couldn't bear to call, only then did Tan Siming take it seriously. 。The relationship between Yao Baixiang and Tan Siming is not something that can be simply covered by a surface-level term like "uncle." 。When Tan Siming needs help, he must be helped. 。Back at his home in the upper city district of Hangzhou, Tan Siming stood on the spacious balcony, lit a cigarette, and in the twilight, he could still catch a glimpse of West Lake shimmering. 。

He puffed the smoke into the air of the New Year's Eve, and it drifted westward towards Xi Zi Lake carried by the wind. Then Tan Siming called the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City, Tan Zhen. >>>。Tan Zhen also quickly answered the phone: “Hall Master Tan, it's so late, you called me only now, must have been entertaining guests just now, right” Tan Siming laughed and said, “Cousin, you always guess right.” 。Since it's not convenient to make a phone call during social events, I apologize for bothering you this late. 。"It's mutual, " Tan Zhendao said. 。I just got home from socializing. 。Taking a breath of fresh air on the balcony, gazing at the river view. 。Tan Zhendong lives in a large, high-rise apartment. He could afford a villa, but he is a Rooster by zodiac sign. A fortune teller once told him that he must live high up to see far. 。Tan Zhen's first house was on the top floor. Later, his career flourished, and he also came to believe in living on a high floor. 。This new house is located in the most upscale district right in front of the city government. You can see a vast expanse of river views as soon as you enter, and just past that is the old city center. So this house boasts both river and city views. At the time, the property price was also the highest in the entire city, but Tan Zhen naturally didn't spend much when he got it. 。This is what being the boss gets you. 。Tan Siming said: "Tan Shujie's view of the river from his house is definitely first-rate. " 。"Tan Zhen said, "Compared to the West Lake villa owned by Hallmaster Tan in Hangzhou, this unassuming river view in Jingzhou is hardly worth mentioning." 。Tan Siming laughed and said, “That’s not how you put it.” 。Besides, it wouldn't be difficult for Tan Shujì to get a lakeside house overlooking West Lake. Just wait until there's a cadre adjustment and Tan Shujì is transferred to the provincial level to become a provincial leader, then he'll surely get his wish, right

Tan Zhen smiled and said: "Director Tan, you make it sound too easy." 。"Now the positions of the four sets of officials at the provincial level are all very tight, it's not that I can come if I want to!" Tan Siming said: "Opportunities always exist." 。"Then I'll take your good wishes," said Tan Zhendo. 。"Right, I doubt today's call from your place is just to chat. Given our relationship, you could just say if there's something up." 。"Tan Siming said, “Tan Shujì, then I won't be polite.” 。I heard that after the New Year, the city will also launch an open recruitment. "Tan Zhen: "That's right, after the provincial government moved, we are also planning to get things moving." 。"Tan Siming said: 'Tan Shujì also knows that Beixiang is in An County, and is already a regular officer.' " 。He also wants to participate in this election, Mr. Tan. Could you please help take care of him"

The relationship between Tan Zhen and Tan Siming is very unusual. It's impossible for him not to know about the relationship between Tan Siming and Yao Bei Xiang. 。Tan Zhendao: “Take a look, this is fine.” 。you make him take the exam 。"Tan Siming chuckled and said, “I knew Secretary Tan would be straightforward.” 。Now there's a question, Baixiang has only been the head of the Foreign Affairs Office since transferring from the provincial department to An County, and he's only been in that position for a little over half a year. 。"So, in terms of qualifications, could we loosen up the requirements a bit" When Tan Siming heard this, he said, "Director Tan, this is a bit difficult..." 。My original intention was to set the qualification for a deputy county-level position at at least one year, or even two years. 。I have two people in mind, both of whom have some years of experience. The requirements for their positions are a bit strict, so the competition pressure they face is relatively small. 。

Tan Siming smiled and said, “That’s true as well.” 。However, Tan Shujie is the top person in charge. It's not difficult to use two people. Even if they don't participate in this public election, it's also an easy thing to give them a position directly. 。"Tan Zhen chuckled and said, "Director Tan, you make it impossible for me to refuse! Alright, I'll have my people relax the qualifications to be the same as the provincial ones." 。“Then I would like to thank Mr. Tan for his hospitality. Our family plans to come to Hangzhou for a few days during the spring. We can all get together then.” 。"Tan Zhen said with a smile, "No problem, no problem. The only days I'm free are the fifth and sixth of the first lunar month." 。Then, let's set it for the fifth and sixth of the first lunar month. 。。"That's good, you also need to be prepared" 。Although there is the care of Tan Shuji, it is not foolproof. 。This opportunity, since it has been created for you, be sure to seize this chance and get this deputy county-level position. 。“Yes, Uncle Tan,” 。Exams have always been my strong suit, so Uncle Tan can rest assured. 。I'll take first place on the exam and show Uncle Tan. 。Upon hearing this, Tan Si Fang expressed his satisfaction: "That's good to hear." 。If you can top the written exam, I'll get you that deputy county-level position. 。It's New Year's Eve. 。In the morning, cotton-like snowflakes began to fall from the sky. 。"Xiao Zheng, get up quickly! It's snowing outside. You haven't seen snow in our village for a long time, have you" Fei Qingmei called to Xiao Zheng from outside his room. 。Xiao Zheng rubbed his eyes and found that the window was a bright white. He put on his clothes and came to the corridor. 。Snowflakes, falling in this mountain valley, descend from the sky like pure white fairies dancing. 。Ah, only in this mountain village can one see such pristine and flawless scenery!

We are always busy and bustling about, it seems like everything we do has a purpose. 。But what purpose could there be in this empty mountain with dancing snow It is simply as it is. Whether beautiful or ugly, whether wind and rain or thunder, nature unfolds naturally, unaffected by human will. 。Man is but a very small part of all that exists, yet human beings often think of themselves as being greater than heaven. 。Xiao Zheng suddenly remembered a person, that was Chen Hong. 。Once, during their university days, when winter vacation was approaching, Xiao Zheng and Chen Hong watched a snowfall together, an experience that remains deeply etched in their memories. 。Xiao Zheng then took out his phone and called Chen Hong. 。Chen Hong picked up the conversation very quickly. 。Xiao Zheng then said: "Chen Hong, it snowed in our village. Would you like to come see the snow at my parents' place We can have the New Year's Eve dinner there tonight"

Chen Hong seemed completely uninterested: "No thanks, what's so interesting about snow in the mountains My parents said they want you to come to their house for New Year's Eve dinner" 。Xiao Zheng asked, "Then why don't you come eat lunch in the mountains Anyway, Xiao Zhong is coming to pick me up today, so we can take his car." 。Chen Hong said: “I'm not going. Will you please tell your parents happy New Year for me” 。This afternoon, the leaders of our county's No. 1 Middle School invited me to dinner and I've already agreed to go. It would be rude not to. 。This afternoon, I thought about going to the mall again to have a look. Some of the clothes there are more high-end, and today's discounts are quite big. I'll go buy two more pieces. 。“Having dinner with the leader and going shopping for clothes is more important than visiting one's own parents Xiao Zheng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart and didn't say any more.” 。

Only Chen Hong said: "See you for dinner later." 。After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zheng unexpectedly received a message from Li Haiyan. 。Xiao Zheng opened it and found a photo inside. It was a snow scene on the banks of West Lake, with the Broken Bridge covered in snow. 。Xiao Zheng was surprised and immediately called Li Haiyan back: "Haiyan, did you take this picture yourself" Li Haiyan's voice was filled with a smile: "Yeah" 。I took it. 。"Xiao Zheng: "How did you get to Hangzhou"

Li Haiyan said: "Didn't we say it last time As long as Xiao Shuji returns to Hangzhou, I will follow!"

Yesterday, Li Haiyan pretended to see off Xiao Jingyu at the County Party Committee Hall. In fact, she was doing it for Yao Beixiang. Actually, after Xiao Jingyu's car drove out of the County Party Committee compound, she waited beside her 。After informing Yao Baxian about the news of the public election in the city, Li Haiyan called the driver. The driver came and picked her and Xiao Jingyu up, taking them to Hangcheng. 。Of course Xiao Zheng remembered: “I thought it was just when I was in my usual life, Xiao Shu.Ji returned to Hang and you went too” 。Now, if Xiao Shujì went home Would you follow Xiao Shujì to her house" Li Haiyan's voice faded: "Xiao Shujì, she doesn't go home for the New Year..." 。"Xiao Zheng was taken aback: "What's going on" Li Haiyan said: "Xiao Shujie said that her family didn't call her or invite her back home for the New Year, so she spent the New Year at Lakeview Hotel by herself." 。"Just the two of you" Xiao Zheng's heart skipped a beat.

Li Haiyan said, "Yeah, where else would there be a third person" On this big New Year's Eve, were just the two women staying at the hotel for the holiday Wasn't it too lonely

What was going on with Xiao Jingyu's family Leaving a daughter who held the position of county party secretary behind and not calling her back to celebrate the New Year, he didn't know what her parents were thinking. Could it be that the mindset of an upper-class family was beyond his comprehension as a town official

But no matter what, Xiao Zheng had already made up his mind: "You two wait for me in Hangzhou, I'll come pick you up at noon to have hotpot." 。Li Haiyan exclaimed, "Really Eating hot pot in the snow, it's so atmospheric! Xiao Shuji would definitely be very happy." 。Xiao Zheng said: "Tell Xiao Shuji that I will have the driver pick me up right away and we'll depart." 。About before 11:30 AM to the Lakeside Hotel. 。"Why don't I keep it a secret from the secretary for now When you get here, we can surprise her." 。"Xiao Zheng thought for a moment and said, 'That's fine.'" 。ping, I'm going to be transferred away..." 。"What" Xie Yiping thought he'd misheard. "What dropped" Xiang Buzi said seriously, "I'm being transferred to another unit, leaving the public security syste...
