officialdom

Wang Fei and Sun Pingan are now very close, and they can make appointments at any time.

The place where Wang Fei made an appointment was by the Biyan Lake, where Ma Xiuying opened a private restaurant. When Cao Rui passed by, Ma Xiuying was very enthusiastic: "Secretary Cao, I haven't seen you for a long time. Today our family said that you are coming over. For dinner, I specially reserved the best private room for you, please come..."

Cao Rui said: "Sister-in-law, you are too polite. I rarely come to Wude. Today, thanks to Brother Wang, I am treating Secretary-General Sun to dinner!"

Cao Rui and Ma Xiuying exchanged pleasantries, thinking that in the past year or so, since Liu Xiaojing left, Cao Rui has not been to Jinjue Villa in Yongping. The shares there and the shares in Turtle Village should have been arranged by Liu Xiaojing. Anyway, Cao Rui Rui didn't ask.

Gao Yi said last time that he could give him Liu Xiaojing's address. Cao Rui finally gritted his teeth and got Liu Xiaojing's address, but he had not yet made up his mind to go to Shanghai.

Cao Rui waited in the private room for a while. Wang Fei came over. He came over and brought a cigarette and four bottles of wine: "Cao Rui, I will arrange it today. You don't have to worry about anything. If you want, I will worry about you! Between us brothers We have been in a relationship for many years, and you have suffered a lot during this year in Yongping. Brother, can I still let you arrange it?"

Wang Fei was bold and generous. Regardless of whether he was completely sincere or not, Cao Rui was still quite moved.

The few people who had the best relationship in Yongping back then were Wang Fei and Tang Rong, including Mao Jun. Now it is not easy for Tang Rong to maintain the position of director. Mao Jun is good at dancing and is quite proud of himself. He was transferred from being the head of the Tea Office to being the deputy director of the County Party Committee Office.

Wang Fei jumped out of the Yongping political arena and went to Linxian County. At first, he felt uncomfortable, but now it seems that the world is brighter. His wife Ma Xiuying opened a private restaurant in Wude, which is equivalent to establishing a stronghold in the city.

Wang Fei's welcome and delivery were all focused on Wude. His work in Linxian County was well taken care of. Within three years, he became a member of the Standing Committee and served as the Standing Committee Deputy County Magistrate (non-permanent Deputy County Magistrate) in Linxian County. If Going one step further, if I had the opportunity to return to Yongping, it would definitely be different.

Wang Fei and Cao Rui chatted for a while, and Wen Yibin came over. He shook hands with Cao Rui and looked excited: "Secretary Cao, County Magistrate Wang asked me to accompany the guests. I muttered in my heart, wondering why such an awesome guest would invite me. Yo!

I didn’t expect it to be you, Secretary Cao, so I’m really honored. Secretary Cao is a talented writer. Chairman Wang was full of praise for your works and said that if you were not a disciple of Teacher Chen Fusheng, he would accept you as his disciple..."

Wen Yibin has been close to cultural people for a long time, and he and Cao Rui picked up random topics when chatting. Wang Fei was still good at arranging the game. When Sun Ping'an came over, there were just four of them. It was very simple, they could play cards, and they were familiar with each other. .

Sun Ping'an saw Cao Rui and said, "Xiao Cao, you used to have a card game with us every once in a while, but now I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing now?"

Cao Rui said:

"Secretary-general, I have a poor ambition but a short horse and a long hair. I have been on a downhill road for almost two years. I simply took this opportunity to retreat and work hard on writing! I hid in a small building and became unified..."

"What about winter, summer and spring and autumn? Really?" Sun Ping'an laughed.

Sun Pingan's reputation in Wude is not very good. Everyone knows that Secretary-General Sun can do things, but he can also collect money. This is why Wang Fei asked Cao Rui to bring more money.

Wang Fei approached Sun Pingan when he was appointed deputy director of Zhengke. Cao Rui still remembers that bureau. It was only then that Cao Rui gradually alienated Sun Pingan. Today, Cao Rui came here to ask Sun Pingan for help, but He doesn't want to spend money to do things.

So as soon as the banquet started and after a few drinks, Cao Rui went straight to the point and reported to Sun Pingan:

"Secretary-General, I heard news in Yongping that Secretary Su's secretary has been unable to fulfill his duties! You are the Secretary-General, is this news true?"

Sun Ping'an was stunned for a moment, laughed loudly, and said: "Cao Rui, what do you mean by asking? Do you want to be Secretary Su Bo's secretary? Let me tell you, if you think so, I'm afraid it's like buying a lottery ticket. Same odds!"

Sun Pingan patted Cao Rui on the shoulder: "It is a good thing for young people to strive for progress, but they must be down-to-earth and not too ambitious..."

Wang Fei and Wen Yibin both laughed at what Sun Pingan said, especially Wang Fei: "Cao Rui, if you can really become Secretary Su's secretary, it will definitely be a great thing. I don't think it is impossible. It's better than buying The odds are definitely higher in the lottery!”

Wen Yibin said: "It must be high. Secretary Cao has outstanding literary talent. I heard that the novel "Little Road" will be published soon. The leaders of the Writers Association praised this book. It will definitely win awards after it is published. We martial arts writers No one has this ability yet..."

Wen Yibin drank and his speech seemed a bit irrelevant, but no matter what, everyone felt that Cao Rui's idea of ​​having Secretary Su's secretary was too "bold".

Cao Rui said calmly:

"Secretary-General, do you think this is an idea? If the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee can organize a speech contest for young cadres in the city, is this contest an opportunity?

If Secretary Su can go there in person, he can get to know all the young talents in the city face to face, and this difficult problem may be easily solved..."

Sun Ping'an was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "Cao Rui, is there such an event?"

Cao Rui secretly laughed in his heart, such an event could be possible. Of course, he did not say anything to death, but said: "Minister Xie went to Yongping two days ago to talk to a few people and encourage us to engage in cultural creation. He said that the Municipal Propaganda Department has a series of activities, including city-wide speech contests..."

Sun Pingan said: "Cao Rui, how is your relationship with Minister Xie? Can we talk to each other?"

Cao Ruidao: "Minister Xie and County Magistrate Lingfeng are old acquaintances in the provincial capital, and he still cares about me! If the secretary-general can make arrangements, I will ensure that the communication with minister Xie can be implemented!"

Sun Pingan said:

"Then... let's make an appointment for tea after drinking today. You call Minister Xie and we can chat!"

Cao Rui took out his cell phone and said, "I'll call right away and make an appointment with Mr. Wen's Lan Shizhai!"

Cao Rui came out of the private room to call Xie Erping and said: "Minister, I talked to the Secretary-General about what you told me in Yongping today. The Secretary-General was very excited and interested!

What he means is to hold a youth speech contest in the city in the name of the Propaganda Department. Secretary Su will be at the scene by then, and time may be tight..."

"Okay, this arrangement is easy. Within a week, we can arrange it directly to the finals!"

Cao Rui said: "Minister, is it convenient for you to come out now? I will invite the secretary-general to Lanshizhai. You can meet, have a cup of tea, and confirm the matter?"
