Chapter 36: Working Together
r birthday will be here soon." 。Xiao Zheng thought that just leaving like this wouldn't be good, so he insisted: "Chen Hong, let me go in for a moment. I want to tell Auntie 'Happy Birthday'." 。Chen...Cai Shaohua originally wanted to see Xiao Zheng's embarrassed expression, and then he would find a way to help Chen Hong solve the car problem. In this way, Chen Hong would feel that Cai Shaohua was better at some things than Xiao Zheng. 。Unexpectedly, the mayor Guan Wenwei volunteered to use his car. 。Cai Shaohua once again lost the opportunity to perform, and couldn't help but feel unhappy. 。Xiao Zheng got into the car with Town Head Guan Wenwei, and sat in the backseat with him. Chen Hong was asked to sit in the co-pilot seat so she could be more comfortable as a female. 。On the way, Chen Hong talked about her father, Chen Guangming. 。Guan Wenwei said: "Our Xiao Commissioner, he's hiding too deeply. His girlfriend is the daughter of Bureau Chief Chen, but he never reveals it." 。Chen Hong said: "Xiao Zheng, he is rather introverted and doesn't talk much. We will still need to ask Mayor Guan for more help in the future." 。"Guan Wenwei said: 'This actually shows that Xiao Zheng is a very honest person. He didn't mention your father, which means he doesn't want to rely on your father's reputation. He wants to fight his own battles and make it on his own. That's the kind of man who has potential and is reliable.'" 。Director Chen, don't underestimate Commissioner Xiao. Although their progress might be slower and they may face more challenges in the beginning, they could turn out to be a potential star later on. 。Chen Hong couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror, just in time to see Xiao Zheng's face. She couldn't help smiling, her heart felt a little sweet, but she said, "I still have to rely on Town Mayor Guan's concern." 。Guan Wenwei didn't decline either. He said, "Xiao Weiye and I are brothers, we will definitely help each other." 。The driver had asked about the route beforehand and found out that Mayor Guan Wenwei's house was nearby, right on the way to Chen Hong's place. 。So, Guan Wenwei got off the car first and said to the driver, "Xiao Feng, please safely send Director Chen home, and then take our Commissioner Xiao back to town." 。You worked hard today. 。"Xiao Feng immediately said: "Don't worry, Guan Zhen, you can rest assured that I will deliver it safely." 。Guan Wenwei, carrying his briefcase, walked into the residential complex. Today he hadn't had too much to drink, and his steps were steady. 。The car started up again, and after about ten minutes, they arrived at Chen Hong's residential area. 。Xiao Zheng said to Xiao Feng: "Trouble you wait for me a moment, I'll send something off briefly." 。"Little Feng said: "Xiao Commissioner, no rush, take your time." 。"That sounds a bit...off, doesn't it" Xiao Zheng and Chen Hong exchanged glances, both awkwardly smiling. 。Xiao Zheng sent Chen Hong into the residential complex. 。After taking a few steps, Chen Hong said: “Before, I heard that you became a member of the Party Committee and a new office was arranged for you. My father was quite happy after hearing this. Today, I went to see you, and he didn't have any objections.” 。Now that you're also in charge of safety supervision, I guess my parents will be worried again. 。However, this time your 'double deputy' is done well, which is also good news. 。"Xiao Zheng gently pulled Chen Hong's slender hand and smiled, "Your parents' work needs you to take care of it." 。On my side, I will try my best to buy a house in the county town and settle down our future home. 。Chen Hong wanted to shake off Xiao Zheng's hand, she struggled but couldn't break free, so she just let him hold her hand and said, "If you really want to buy a house, before you buy it, you must let me go and have a look." 。If I'm not happy, then I won't live here anymore. 。“Of course, I'd love for you to come with me. Ultimately, it's the female host who makes the final decision anyway.” 。"Chen Hong glanced at Xiao Zheng and said, “Just know it.” 。Let's just leave it at that. 。“When we get to the building, Chen Hong said, ‘My parents should be resting now. I don’t want to disturb them, so you shouldn’t go up today.’” 。Xiao Zheng suddenly pulled Chen Hong forward, Chen Hong was caught off guard and her whole body crashed into Xiao Zheng's, pressing tightly against him. 。Xiao Zheng's body was strong and hot, Chen Hong's heart skipped a beat, but her body felt weak. She pushed Xiao Zheng away hurriedly: "You do this again!"
Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "You go upstairs first, I'll go back after I hear you close the door." 。"That's right" 。Chen Hong suddenly seemed to have thought of something. She took out a pack of Hua Yan cigarettes that Cai Shaohua had given her earlier from her bag and gave them to Xiao Zheng. 。。I took it before, just for your dad to smoke. 。However, now Xiao Feng is driving us, so you wait a bit and give him one pack. And give the other pack to your father. 。Don't give all two packages to Xiao Feng. Between us and our subordinates, we need to know our place and not spoil them by giving them too much at once. 。"Before, Xiao Zheng didn't ask Cai Shao Hua for a cigarette on the chair. Chen Hong took it instead. He thought that Chen Hong was a bit greedy and petty, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart." 。Now it seems, Chen Hong took these cigarettes with the intention of them being for her father. Xiao Zheng's opinion of Chen Hong couldn't help but change again. 。Now, Chen Hong asked him to give the driver another bag. 。Xiao Zheng thought to himself, Chen Hong really understood the ways of the world. 。But she, as a young woman, worries too much about these things. Doesn't that feel tiring Thinking about how she grew up in a family of officials and was the head of the office at school, it's understandable for her to be concerned about human relationships and social etiquette. 。Xiao Zheng said: "I understand." 。Go up there quickly. 。Chen Hong walked two steps down the hallway, then turned back, glanced at Xiao Zheng, and suddenly ran up to him, giving him a hug. 。Chen Hong's figure is really good, with a curvy and soft, full figure. When she was close to him, his body was instantly excited like a little beast, but Chen Hong once again ran away nimbly and climbed the stairs. 。Xiao Zheng felt unsatisfied, but he could only let her run away playfully. After a while, he heard the sound of a door slamming shut from the hallway. 。Xiao Zheng sent Chen Hong a text message: "Are you home" Soon, Chen Hong replied: "Yes." 。My parents are still awake. 。Xiao Zheng then felt relieved. He walked out of the residential complex and got into the deputy driver's seat of the town mayor's car, handing a pack of Huayan cigarettes to the driver, Xiao Feng. 。"Commissioner Xiao, you're too kind!" Little Feng took it with a smile, "Commissioner Xiao, after the mayor finishes work, if you need to use the car, just give me a call" 。At this point in time, bus reform is still a long way off, and car usage is relatively casual. 。Xiao Zheng said: "Good, thank you" 。Xiao Zheng thought, Chen Hong was right. In ordinary people's lives, a little kindness can make others expect something from you, willing to associate with you, and happy to help you with things. 。It was still almost half an hour's drive, and Xiao Feng turned on the radio. It was a song by Leslie Cheung called "The Wind Continues to Blow," "The gentle sea breeze blows, cooling down the bonfire... Let the wind continue to blow, reluctant to leave..."
Xiao Zheng felt the summer mountain wind blowing in through the car window, and suddenly had a feeling of sadness. 。Life is short. "Brother", jumping from a building happened in the blink of an eye, it has already been two or three years. 。After disappearing from this world, it will truly cease to exist. 。Fortunately, "brother" saw through the worldly complexities and chose to end his life by jumping from a building. It wasn't a wasted life. 。
Ke Xiaozheng is still struggling in this small town. So, will he spend his whole life here No, at this moment, he has decided that he cannot waste his life like this. 。There is definitely a wider world out there, and even more splendid lives to be lived. 。He needs to go and see for himself. 。Of course, all of this is based on doing a good job on the current work. 。Even now, he is in charge of safety supervision work, and the risk factor may be high. But as long as the mindset changes, the results can also be significant. 。Over the past few tens of minutes on the road, Xiao Zheng's thoughts were racing. However, one idea in his mind became increasingly clear: he must push forward with "mining cessation and ecological restoration," developing an eco-friendly green industry. This is the path to revitalizing the village, the progress of the township, and the growth of individuals. 。Xiao Zheng almost blindly believed this. 。The car stopped under the dormitory building. Xiao Zheng was filled with excitement. He planned to start drafting a "Mine Closure and Greening" proposal after returning to his dorm. He would submit it to Mayor Guan Wenwei tomorrow, hoping it would be included in the mayor's office meeting, the town council meeting, and then submitted to the county level. 。 safety supervision will be difficult to enforce properly. If something goes wrong in the end, it won't be good for our entire team. 。So, we still need to look after Chairman Zhang. 。"Yes, I am also...
