Rebirth: 1977

Xi Jun waited for a long time and knew that Hou Yong had returned to the company, but Xia Yingying was not with him.

When Hou Yong returned to the company, he heard that his fellow villager had a project to discuss, so he went there without staying for a moment.

The man had been taken care of by Xi Jun, and he treated Hou Yong enthusiastically, and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.

With Xi Jun in that position, it would be a piece of cake for him to just ask the Urban Construction Bureau and get a few construction projects worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, right?

Just like when Ye Tianshui came to invest, the construction in the industrial park was enough to make several construction companies fat.

When the project was in his hands and had not yet been transferred to the Urban Construction Bureau, wasn't it just a matter of his words to decide who to assign to do the project?

The Urban Construction Bureau will review it and go through a process. Anyway, the specific operation procedures need to be handled by the Urban Construction Bureau. The construction company will still get the benefits it deserves.

As for Xi Jun, did he get any benefit? How much did he get? Ye Tianshui never cared and never asked, and no one else had the right to care.

Since ancient times, there have been two words to describe public affairs: "fat job" and "easy job".

Therefore, as long as you are not greedy, the saying "be an honest official" meets the requirements.

If you are too clear, you will easily offend officials in the same dynasty. Your superiors will need to mediate and maintain good relations with you.

You need your subordinates and subordinates to be loyal and serve you wholeheartedly, and you also need to win their hearts.

With the pen in your hand, you easily get things done for people, and they come to thank you sincerely, isn't that right?

If you categorically refuse, that would be considered "inhumane" and arrogant, and you might offend others unintentionally.

Will you not need to ask for help in your future work? Can you hold on to the project you have in hand? Don’t you need someone to do the work you are responsible for?

Therefore, it is not easy for people in official circles to be "impartial and impartial".

If the water is clear, there will be no fish!

If Hou Yong could bring Xia Yingying with him at this time, maybe they could really negotiate a project.

Xi Jun is under a lot of pressure now. Leader Xia is urging him to do something, and his eyes that seem to be able to bite people make him feel uneasy.

If I had reported the situation promptly when I first discovered it, would it have been easier to deal with than it is now?

Xi Jun reflected on it, but there was no answer.

When Hou Yong's fellow townsman saw that he was the only one there, he felt very disappointed, but he didn't show it on his face. He just asked tentatively:

"Why did you come here alone? Where's Miss Xia? Old Hou, I'm afraid it will be difficult to negotiate this project if only you come forward.

The client specifically wants to talk to Miss Xia, so please invite Miss Xia over and don’t offend the client.”

Hou Yong was unaware of the trick and quickly explained: "It's definitely not possible today. Miss Xia can't come. Please help me greet the guests so that I can meet and chat with them first.

Tomorrow, Miss Xia will definitely be there tomorrow."

The fellow villager was curious and asked, "Why do you have to wait until tomorrow? How can the guests have so much time to wait for you?

If you don’t hold on tight, there will be so many people behind you trying to snatch it from you!

Where is Miss Xia? I'll take my car to pick her up."

What an honor it was that the city government secretary personally called him. This was a great opportunity to solidify their relationship.

How could I fail in my duty the first time?

Besides, he also understood how tempting the money in the engineering project was. It would be a pity if he let go of the wealth that was delivered to him this time.

Hou Yong didn't know there was a bait waiting for him. Seeing his fellow villagers anxious, he became even more anxious:

"I can't contact her now. I just sent her to Yangcheng. Her friends from Beijing called her over. She will definitely not be back today."

The fellow villager was surprised and needed to tell Xi Jun the news immediately: "Then, you should find a way to contact Miss Xia immediately and tell me as soon as you get in touch with her.

I will try my best to help you say hello to the project party, and I hope he can give you some time.

I have something to do, so I won’t keep you for dinner.”

Xi Jun received a call from Hou Yong's fellow villager, and heard that Xia Yingying had actually gone to Yangcheng. No wonder he sent people to search every place in Pengcheng but couldn't find her.

He could only tell Xia Minglei the news truthfully:

"Leader Xia, Miss Xia went to Yangcheng this afternoon. Someone below told me that a few of her friends from Beijing came, and Miss Xia went to see them."

Xia Minglei didn't expect this to be the result, and he immediately flew into a rage. He repeatedly warned his daughter not to get in touch with those playboys and not to play with them.

How dare you ignore his words!

"Look! Keep looking. Contact Xia Zijian and ask him to go find her together! Yingying is his wife, how dare he just ignore her!"

Xia Minglei originally wanted to teach his daughter privately and then hand her over to his son-in-law to take care of her.

Now, in a rage, he took his anger out on Xia Zijian, forgetting that it was all his daughter's fault. He instead blamed Xia Zijian for not taking good care of his daughter since he had married her.

It is the parents' responsibility to take care of their daughter at home. Now that she gets married, isn't it Xia Zijian's turn to take on this responsibility?

Xi Jun was a little confused. As a bystander, he saw it clearly. Could Deputy Director Xia really control your daughter?

Once the leader gives an order, he must carry it out to the letter, even if it is past working hours.

No, as long as the leader has something to do, he never gets off work.

He didn't know that Xia Zijian had already arrived at the Yuntianshuise Hotel and was talking about more serious matters with Ye Tianshui.

The only way to call the Public Security Bureau was to call, but no one answered in Xia Zijian's office, so the switchboard was transferred to Director Si Kongkong.

Si Kong Kong usually leaves his office and goes home only after it is completely dark.

Ever since Ye Tianshui gave him an apartment, his wife would occasionally come and stay for a while.

There's no way around it. They all have jobs, and they have to travel back and forth for so many days. None of them has that much vacation time.

His wife had a good job in Beijing and was unwilling to be transferred to Pengcheng.

So Sikong Kong doesn’t live in the company dormitory now, but he eats three meals a day in the cafeteria.

He will go home only after having a good dinner and having nothing to do at work.

The houses that Ye Tianshui gave them were all fully decorated and had air conditioners installed.

It’s much more comfortable than living in a dormitory.

After receiving Xi Jun's call, Si Kong Kong was a little confused. He thought that there must be something important calling him at this time.

Because of Ye Tianshui, they all have a good relationship in private, but they all know that they have basically no intersection in official matters. Even if there is something, they all deal with it in a businesslike manner.

"Secretary Xi? Why are you looking for me now? What happened?"

If a case occurs, he should be the first to know about it.

"Hello, Director Si. Fortunately, you are still at get off work. Do you know where Deputy Director Xia went?"

At this time, Xi Jun also felt that it would be more appropriate to let Xia Zijian find Xia Yingying, so he asked about his whereabouts.

"Deputy Director Xia? What do you want to see Zijian for at this time? If he's not in the office, he must be off work."

Xia Zijian, who was not married, originally had the same life trajectory as him, eating three meals a day in the cafeteria, and at the beginning they both lived in the company dormitory.

After he got married, for a period of time, except for lunch, he would eat in the cafeteria and go home after get off work.

Later, he returned to the starting point. They lived next door to each other, and he knew the reason for this best, but he didn't know how to say it.

“Ever since his mother and Mr. Ye and his wife came to Pengcheng, Deputy Director Xia has been staying in the hotel with them most of the time.

Since he doesn't have to work overtime today, he might have gone to the Yegongzi Hotel again.

If it's urgent, you can call him at the hotel."
