Chapter 5: No Audience

eived a phone call from Yuan Bing, director of the Office of the Provincial Government. 。Hui Peng didn't answer, but instead asked Xiao Zheng for instructions: "Xiao Secretary, should I answer" Xiao...To be honest, Jin Hui usually didn't put on airs in front of Xiao Zheng. But today, she brought out her "leader" persona. Xiao Zheng was surprised. He didn't want to rush things with Jin Hui, so he said nothing more and walked out of her office. 。In recent days, apart from successfully saving "Xiaoyue"'s life, nothing else has really gone smoothly. 。Xiao Zheng was in a bad mood and didn't want to go back to the office at the Anjian station, so he walked out of the rusty iron gate at the town government and around the wall to the hillside behind it. 。

The sunshine of early summer was a little dazzling. He climbed up the hillside and lay down in the shade of an ancient tea tree, above him was the blue sky and white clouds drifting by. 。This ancient tea tree is a wild one. It sprouts tender new leaves every year before Qingming Festival. Though the yield isn't much, the brewed tea has an exceptionally smooth and refreshing taste. 。The female LGBTQ individuals in town would come to pick tea leaves every Mingqian (a period for harvesting early spring tea), take them home to fry, and then bring them back to the office to drink as a beverage. Sometimes Xiao Zheng could also have a cup, and the tea was undeniably beautiful. 。Unfortunately, there's no tea to drink right now. Xiao Zheng then picked a tea leaf and put it in his mouth to chew on it. A bitter, astringent, yet refreshing feeling spread throughout his mouth. 。The blue sky and white clouds overhead, and a gentle breeze blowing through the tea trees, had blown away a lot of Xiao Zheng's frustration. 。This place couldn't help but remind Xiao Zheng of the hillside behind his old house. But now, his hometown, Fengqi Village in Lushui Nature Village, has become shrouded in smoke and dust from mining, with noise filling the mountains. The green waters and green hills are gone without a trace. 。Xiao Zheng didn't approve of this production method at all. While mining made some money, it destroyed the natural environment that humans rely on for survival. It was simply not worth it. 。Of course, no one took his idea seriously. 。A nobody speaks softly, in a system like this, there is no place for you, you can't do anything and no one takes you seriously. 。It took seven years for Xiao Zheng to finally realize that in order to survive in the system, a certain position was essential. 。He also started wanting a position to do something, while simultaneously allowing Chen Hong's parents to put aside their worries and doubts about him. 。However, things have come to this, and it's not easy to change!

As Xiao Zheng was watching the blue sky with such emotion, his simple Nokia rang. 。Who's looking for me

Xiao Zheng glanced at the narrow phone screen, and the light blue screen displayed the four words "Baby Chen Hong". 。Xiao Zheng jumped up, quickly answered the phone: "Chen Hong, it's me" 。"Chen Hong's voice was faint and cold: "How is the matter of transferring your work post going" Chen Hong was here to ask about this! Xiao Zheng recalled yesterday's encounter in Song Guoming's office, feeling very downcast. 。But he didn't want to tell her that, so he just said, "Still trying!"

"Still trying Did you go to your Song Shuj.i office and get kicked out" Chen Hong asked 。"How did you know..." Xiao Zheng suddenly felt that such an answer was inappropriate, and quickly changed his words, "I went, but I wasn't driven out." 。"Haven't you been driven out yet Song Shuji even said that Cai Shaohua would 'take you out,'" Chen Hong said.

Xiao Zheng suddenly understood. That was why Chen Hong knew about this, and it was Cai Shaohua who had been gossiping again. 。Xiao Zheng said: "Chen Hong, I hope you don't listen to Cai Shaohua's nonsense" 。Cai Shaohua, this person, has a problem with his character, and his feelings for you may not be pure!

Chen Hong said, "Xiao Zheng, I don't want to hear you speak ill of others!" Xiao Zheng was somewhat unconvinced: "Am I the one speaking ill of him, or is he speaking ill of me I can tell you that Cai Shaohua approached your family because your father recently nominated an agricultural director, and his promotion would benefit him. That's why Cai Shaohua would get close to you." 。"

Chen Hong said: “Look, you’re badmouthing people again.” 。 。"Xiao Zheng was taken aback. Cai Shaohua was indeed insidious. He had already said these words in front of Chen Hong, putting himself at a disadvantage." 。。"

Chen Hong said: 'As you wish.'" 。He hung up the phone. 。Xiao Zheng stared at the dark phone screen, lost in thought. He believed Chen Hong still had feelings for him, but she was indecisive and would sometimes be confused, unsure of what she truly wanted, especially under her parents' influence. 。Xiao Zheng was almost certain that if she were truly with Cai Shao Hua, as long as Cai Shao Hua got promoted, he definitely wouldn't treat Chen Hong well in the future. 。Xiao Zheng and Chen Hong have been in a relationship for 9 years. On one hand, he doesn't want to give up on this relationship. On the other hand, he also doesn't want her to live a gloomy life afterwards. 。Unfortunately, Chen Hong wasn't aware of his intentions. 。It's all my fault for not being strong enough, it's all my fault for not having the strength! After finishing this call, Xiao Zheng didn't feel like staying on the hillside any longer. 。He went back to the small street in front of the town hall and bought a box of chocolates at a tobacco shop, six pieces in total, for twenty yuan. 。Xiao Zheng thought to himself, this money must be spent. 。It's lunchtime now. 。Xiao Zheng walked into the familiar government office building. There was only one girl inside, whose name was Li Haiyan. 。Xiao Zheng knew that she usually didn't eat lunch in order to lose weight. 。So, during this time period, she should have been the only one in the office, which would be a perfect opportunity to talk. 。Xiao Zheng placed the box of chocolates in front of Li Haiyan and said, "Aren't you eating today"

Li Haiyan looked at the chocolate, frowned, and said, "Master, are you tempting me! You know I'm on a diet and barely eat anything, yet you still bring me chocolate" Xiao Zheng said, "Of course, when giving someone a gift, you have to give them what they like best>>> 。"Not eating, isn't it just to be able to eat what you like" Li Haiyan narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "It seems there is some truth to that." 。She couldn't help but open the package, take out a piece of chocolate, put it in her mouth, and take a very enjoyable bite: "It's delicious!" 。Xiao Zheng watched her enjoy the chocolate without saying a word. 。Li Haiyan had satisfied her craving for chocolate before turning to Xiao Zheng and asking, "Master, you haven't been to the government office in a long time. Today, not only did you come, but you also brought me chocolate. There must be something going on, right"Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "It's nothing important. I just hope you can keep an eye out for something." 。You're in a government office building, from this window you can see all the people coming and going. 。“Li Haiyan looked out the window and said, “Master, what do you want me to look for”Xiao Zheng said, “Help me keep an eye on it. Have there been any people from the county coming to our town these past few days If so, what level of leadership are they, and what leadership in our town has received them”

Xiao Zheng thought to himself, "Since 'Xiaoyue' agreed to find a county leader to transfer her work post, perhaps someone will be sent from the county to coordinate this matter.” 。Li Haiyan said, "Is that all"

Xiao Zheng thought for a moment and added, "You can also help me pay attention to any faxes or phone calls from the county, whether they are from the Organization Department or the Human Resources Bureau" Li Haiyan nodded and said, "No problem" 。I will keep an eye on it for you. 。"Li Haiyan handles incoming and outgoing mail, paying attention to these matters isn't difficult." 。

Li Haiyan was younger than Xiao Zheng. When she came to the town to work, Xiao Zheng was the deputy director of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee. He took good care of her, who was new to the town. 。Despite the fact that later, Xiao Zheng's political affairs office encountered problems and Xiao Zheng was transferred to the safety supervision station without a position, Li Haiyan still remembered Xiao Zheng. 。In fact, Li Haiyan always thought Xiao Zheng was quite handsome. Even though the people in town didn't look highly on Xiao Zheng now, Li Haiyan always felt that he still had many good qualities. 。vation, creating jobs, and improving people's livelihoods. They affect thousands of households and are crucial to our progress." 。Big enterprises also grew from small and medium-sized enterprises, ju...
