d. But once you think of someone as a friend, you start to worry about them. 。Luckily, in less than ten minutes, Lin Xiaofeng called back: "County Magistrate Xiao, why are you thinking of me today"...qianning glanced at chen hong, thinking she was being low-key. Even though her boyfriend had promoted her, she didn't seem surprised. 。

Deputy Director Qian Ning of the Cadre Department came today with the tasks assigned by the director. 。Last time, Chen Hong told Qian Ning that when their department was free, she would invite them to dinner. Qian Ning then told their director about it. 。The election is over, and the cadre department has been busy for so long. Finally, they have a few days to catch their breath. Therefore, the director wants to relax with his team, so he asked Qian Ning to tell Chen Hong that they are free now and can have a meal together. 。The head of the cadre department thought this way: Xiao Zheng was the beneficiary of this public election. His girlfriend, Chen Hong, was also someone in the department. Having a meal and some drinks together was like having a family gathering; there was nothing major about it. 。So, Qian Ning whispered, "Director Chen, you said last time you'd treat us to a meal..." 。I told our section chief about this, and Section Chief Zhu said he's free these two days. 。"The Zhu Department Head that Qian Ning mentioned is actually Zhu Tao, the head of the Cadre Department." 。Chen Hong was taken aback. She remembered that last time she had said she would treat Qian Ning to a meal, but she had only meant treating him alone. She hadn't expected Qian Ning to tell their chief about it. 。Chen Hong remembered that the cadres in the department had a strong sense of teamwork. If someone invited one of them to dinner, the whole department would show up so everyone could eat a few more meals. 。Of course, not everyone is invited, and you should still be careful when choosing your guests. 。Since Qian Ning specially came to talk about this today, Chen Hong definitely had to invite her. She said: "No problem, as long as your department has time, I'll invite you." 。"Today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow" Qian Ning pondered for a moment and said, "I think the day after tomorrow would be better. It's the weekend, so everyone can have a good time and drink to their heart's content." 。"No problem, then the day after tomorrow." 。"Qianning added, "By then, please have your boyfriend Xiao Zheng attend as well." 。“Chen Hong said awkwardly, “He may not come After all, I invited the department staff. We are all colleagues in the same department. He is an outsider. It might feel awkward for everyone if he comes.” 。"Director Chen, you mustn't worry about this at all!" Qian Ning said, "Our Chief Zhu also said that he wants to take this opportunity to get to know the County Magistrate of Xiao County." 。"In the future, there might be things that need Xiao County Chief's help again!"

Zhu Tao is a section chief, sometimes he can't avoid trying to get some harmless little benefits for the cadres of the section. 。Having one more leader from the pragmatic faction would make things much easier. 。And this time, Xiao Zheng also didn't get the position of deputy county magistrate easily. He definitely has to thank the organization department for this, and it's a good opportunity to get familiar with them. 。Zhu Tao also knew that the municipal Party Committee Secretary might not be very fond of Xiao Zheng. Originally, the secretary intended to promote Yao Bixiang, but in the end, it was Xiao Zheng who emerged victorious. 。Zhu Tao should consider this and not get close to Xiao Zheng. 。In fact, Zhu Tao was not satisfied with Tan Shuj.i, two years ago, Zhu Tao had the opportunity to go out to serve as a Standing Committee member and Minister of Organization of the County Party Committee, but the position was snatched by Tan Zhen's first secretary, leaving Zhu Tao still just a director. 。In the Organization Department, the leader's demands were high and the workload heavy. Working overtime every day and doing favors for others, Zhu Tao was already exhausted. 。It remains to be seen when he will be promoted, Liu Chang's words don't count for everything, Tan Zhen also needs to agree. 。He has never been promoted, and it is probably because of Tan Zhen's influence!

During Tan Zhen's tenure as the secretary of the municipal committee, the promotion of cadres in the organization department was slow, especially for cadres in business departments. There was a feeling that they were being held back and there was no end in sight. 。These thoughts and feelings, Zhu Tao only kept to himself, occasionally muttering a few complaints in his room, but never voicing them before his superiors. 。

While Zuo Xiaowan was cultivating relationships internally, Zhu Tao was also seeking connections in various aspects. 。At that interview meeting, Zhu Tao, as the head of the cadre department, participated throughout. He personally witnessed the scene where Deputy Mayor Xiao Jingyu, Secretary General Gao Chenghan, and Mayor Hong Xu stood up for Xiao Zheng. 。As you can see, Xiao Zheng's victory wasn't simply due to luck; there might be a powerful force backing him!

There have been rumors circulating for a long time that Tan Zhen is about to leave Jingzhou City, and he might very well become the new mayor of Hongshi. Since Xiao Zheng has a good relationship with the mayor, getting familiar with him now could potentially open up more opportunities in the future

This is exactly why Zhu Tao hoped Xiao Zheng would attend the dinner. 。Chen Hong heard that it was Zhu Tao's idea to have Xiao Zheng participate, so she didn't want to refuse. 。If she pushed him again, people would probably suspect something was going on between her and Xiao Zheng!

The fact is, there had been a problem, but she didn't want anyone to know. 。Chen Hong then said, "Okay, no problem. I'll let Xiao Zheng know and ask him not to schedule anything for the day after tomorrow, Friday, so he can come to our dinner." 。"

Qian Ning listened and said, 'That's great!' Qian Ning completed the task assigned by the chief, successfully handled the dinner arrangement, and happily returned to his office." 。After Qianyin left, Chen Hong was in a difficult position. 。She promised Chen Ning, but that meant she had to take the initiative to call Xiao Zheng!

Before, Chen Hong had sworn to herself that as long as Xiao Zheng didn't take the initiative to call her, she absolutely wouldn't call him first. 。。She had originally believed that Xiao Zheng had no hope in this public election, but what was the result The result was that Xiao Zheng unexpectedly won the race for the deputy county magistrate position. 。This makes a significant difference to the situation. 。Chen Hong is now very conflicted, wondering whether or not to call Xiao Zheng.

The best-case scenario right now is that Xiao Zheng would take the initiative to call her, and she could just go with the flow and resume their relationship. 。So, Chen Hong decided to wait a little longer and not call Xiao Zheng for now. After all, there was still time before the dinner the day after tomorrow. 。Maybe he'll call any minute now

Chen Hong held onto this thought and waited another day, but Xiao Zheng didn't call. 。By that evening, Chen Hong was getting a bit impatient. 。After all, dinner is coming up tomorrow. If she doesn't tell Xiao Zheng, then the promise she made to Zhu Tao, the head of the cadre department, to treat Xiao Zheng, might not be fulfilled. 。It was time to clock out, the sunset streaming in through the window. 。Chen Hong's phone suddenly rang. 。Chen Hong's heart leaped with joy, could it be that Xiao Zheng called to apologize Chen Hong grabbed the phone and looked at it, her heart sinking. The call was from her old father, Chen Guangming. 。Chen Hong picked up the phone a little unhappily: "Hello" Chen Guangming's voice came over, "Chen Hong, it's Dad" 。Chen Hong said, "I know, is something the matter"

Chen Guangming felt his daughter's voice was a bit stiff, he basically guessed why his daughter was in a bad mood, so he said, "Has Xiao Zheng not taken the initiative to call you yet" Chen Hong said, "No" 。“Chen Guangming's voice softened a little, and he said, “Chen Hong, your mother also talked to me about you and Xiao Zheng yesterday.” 。"We think, why don't you take the initiative to contact him"

"What" Chen Hong almost cried out, realizing she was in the Organization Department's office, so she lowered her voice: "Do you want us to apologize to him It was clearly his fault" 。"This isn't a matter of anyone being at fault. " 。You're thinking, you wouldn't let Xiao Zheng apply for the deputy county magistrate position back then, and instead had him apply for the deputy director position at the Municipal Government Office, weren't you worried he wouldn't pass But now, no matter what, he has passed! Later, when you asked him to give a gift to Secretary Tan, wasn't that also hoping he would pass Xiao Zheng was unwilling to give the gift and left our family, but now he has also become the deputy county magistrate. This is considered a similar outcome in different ways. 。So, those contradictions are no longer contradictions! You two should just be more forgiving of each other, and things will be fine. 。On May 1st's engagement, your mother and I feel that it can be restored. 。Chen Hong was still unhappy: "Why didn't he call me Why did I have to call him" From childhood to adulthood, Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin always protected her. In dealing with others, they always told her to let others accommodate her, never to accommodate others. 。But now that she's with Xiao Zheng, all those principles have been shattered. 。Chen Hong naturally understood very well that it was all because Xiao Zheng's position now was higher than hers and her father, Chen Guangming. 。Their family values social status above all else. Whoever has a higher status is respected more. 。Chen Guangming said, “Chen Hong, we might have to gradually be more tolerant of Xiao Zheng…” 。Think about it, he's about to take office as the deputy county magistrate, which means he'll be your dad and my direct superior. Plus, how many girls in our county town could find a husband who is a deputy county-level leader 。Even if your conditions weren't good, you would still be the county official's wife. 。Chen Hong, sometimes we need to look forward and put aside the trivial matters. 。Chen Hong didn't expect her father to treat her discomfort as a trivial matter! Previously, her parents supported her decision not to deal with Xiao Zheng. 。But Chen Hong also had to admit that what her parents said made sense. 。Let alone in their county town, even in Jingzhou City, how many women could marry the deputy county magistrate Moreover, Xiao Zheng's prospects for advancement are huge, very huge. 。After thinking about it, Chen Hong said: "Okay, Dad, I understand." 。Then Chen Guangming on the phone finally smiled with relief: “I knew my daughter was the most sensible one.” 。After hanging up the phone with Chen Guangming, Chen Hong looked at her phone screen and dialed Xiao Zheng's number. 。Xiao Zheng was in his office, he had just been visited by a group of people who came to congratulate him on being elected as the deputy county magistrate. 。After sending them away, Chen Hong's phone call came in. 。Looking at Chen Hong's number, Xiao Zheng calmed his mind and picked up the phone. Only then did he hear Chen Hong say: "Xiao Zheng, this Friday evening, let's have a meal together Didn't you pass the exam for deputy county magistrate The head of the cadre department in our department asked me to treat you, hoping that you will also participate." 。eir children Wouldn't that be inappropriate""Yue'er, your heart is still too kind..." 。"Sima Zhongtian said, 'But, if you are kind to others, will they be kind to you Don't forget, who killed our fami...
