The governor's words can't help but listen, in other words, Li Weiqing is good to himself, and Chang Ning has to give him some face.

Chang Ning's speech was scheduled for the afternoon of the first day of the meeting, and this time he did not run the train in his mouth, but held Li Zhouteng to prepare a speech for him, and read it for 20 minutes.

After getting off the stage amid applause, Chang Ning walked back to the seating area of the Jinjiang delegation and sat between the two old guys, Gao Zhengguo, chairman of the CPPCC, and Fang Zhenguo, director of the Municipal People's Congress.

Mayor Chen Song sat in the second row of the rostrum, Chang Ning glanced at Chen Song from a distance at the moment he sat down, but he didn't expect that Chen Song was also looking at him at this time, and the eyes of the two people intersected in the air, and each read each other's complex emotions.

The matter of the addition of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee has not yet settled, Chang Ning feels that Chen Song is even more cold to himself, this is also a matter of no way, the interests of officialdom are supreme, since they are two sides competing with each other, there is no warmth at all, this Chen Song's character is like this, half of his temperament is written on that chubby face.

Chang Ning became angry in front of the leaders of the provincial party committee today, Chen Song's mood was even better, if it was someone else, Chen Song would have started to clean him up, but Chang Ning is a member of the Ning family, and Chen Song is also a person who has been mixed in the system for decades, knowing the importance of strength, only with strength can there be everything, without strength, it is useless to talk about anything, with the strength and historical status of the Chen family, it is impossible to challenge the status of the Ning family.

Gao Zhengguo's eyes were sharp, and he smiled and whispered, "Xiao Chang, Mayor Chen is watching you." ”

Chang Ning laughed awkwardly.

Fang Zhenguo said: "Zhida is talented, virtuous and high-hearted, don't pay attention to him." ”

Chang Ning glanced at Zhou Dian, and sighed in his mouth, "Two old brothers, what about Mayor Li Fu?" ”

Li Yao was first Mayor Fu in charge of agriculture and poverty alleviation, and before Chang Ningtai spoke, he sat in the front row, why did he disappear in a blink of an eye?

"As soon as you started to speak, the people in the conference office asked him to answer the phone, maybe there was something in the city to find him." Gao Zhengguo said.

Chang Ning lowered his voice and said, "Two old brothers, you are spending here, I will withdraw first." ”

Knowing that Chang Ning was afraid of the meeting, Fang Zhenguo smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, you go, we'll write it down and then report to your Mayor Chang." ”

Chang Ning left the venue, he wanted to walk the street once, but this Jiangzhou City is a small city surrounded by mountains, the weather is stuffy and hot, standing at the door of the hall, the hot wind is blowing in his face, dispelling the idea of wandering around Changning Street, he slipped back to his room in the guest house, closed the doors and windows and turned on the air conditioner, fell into bed and covered his head and fell asleep, meeting, fart meeting, Lao Tzu did not need to hold a meeting, he could still do a good job in revolutionary work.

The Jiuling area is the poorest place in Xijiang Province, and its economic development is not as good as that of Tongshan County in Jinjiang City.

After a period of cranky thought, Chang Ning fell asleep in a daze......

I don't know how long I slept, Chang Ning was woken up by the screeching phone ringing.

"Who, who?" Chang Ning took the phone on the bedside table and asked angrily.

"Mayor Chang, haven't you woken up yet?"

A woman's voice, Chang Ning sounded a little familiar.

"Are you ......" Chang Ning dragged his voice, he really couldn't remember who it was.

"Mayor Chang, I'm Xiao Lan." On the phone, Xiao Lan, Minister of Propaganda of the Municipal Party Committee, smiled softly.

Chang Ning hurriedly sat up, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Minister Xiao, I was indeed sleeping, and I couldn't hear the leader's voice, please forgive Minister Xiao." ”

Xiao Lan said with a smile: "Mayor Chang, look at what time it is, and you are still sleeping there." ”

Looking at his watch, Chang Ning smiled embarrassedly, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening, damn it, there was no food in the canteen of the guest house.

"Minister Xiao, is there anything wrong with you?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Chang Ning asked as he got up.

"Mayor Chang, you come out, I'll invite you to dinner."

Hearing that Xiao Lan was going to invite herself to dinner, Chang Ning's heart moved, and she didn't know what method Gu Fangfang used to let the reserved Xiao Lan take the initiative to send out an invitation.

In fact, Chang Ning has long wanted to communicate with Xiao Lan, but there has never been a suitable opportunity, and it is a good opportunity to come to Jiuling for a meeting today, if you can win her support, you will have one more point of certainty in entering the Standing Committee.

"Minister Xiao, you name a place, I'll go over," Chang Ning said.

"Go out of the door of the guest house and go left, keep going, go left at the third intersection, continue to go straight to the second intersection and turn right, go about two hundred meters, there is a hotel, called the Home of Educated Youth, I am waiting for you there."

Chang Ning sighed, "Minister Xiao, you are very familiar with this place." ”

Xiao Lan said with a smile: "I have been here for six or six years as an educated youth in the countryside, and I can be regarded as half of the host." ”

Putting down the phone, Chang Ning remembered that Gu Fangfang had said that Xiao Lan had been an educated youth in the countryside of the Jiuling area.

Xiao Lan is 41 years old this year, is a native of Nanjiang City, Xijiang Province, his parents are middle school teachers, there are five brothers and sisters in the family, Xiao Lan is the eldest, after graduating from high school in 1968, he entered the state-owned Oriental Towel Factory in Nanjiang City as a quality inspector, in 1969, 21-year-old Xiao Lan in order to let his frail and sick brother stay in the city, resolutely replaced his younger brother to go to the countryside to become a young man, and stayed in the countryside of Jiuling area for six years, in 1975, after her uncle resumed work, she was able to leave the Jiuling area, In 1978, 30-year-old Xiao Lan entered the official career because he was the uncle of the governor of Fu, first worked in the general office of the provincial government, was transferred to the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee in 1981, and was promoted to the level of the main department at the end of the year, and was promoted to the director of the Office of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee in 1983, and transferred to the director of the Office of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee in 1986.

Gu Fangfang also introduced Xiao Lan's marriage and family to Chang Ning, she got married in 1978, her husband is also from Nanjiang City, and now she is a director of the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs, and the two have a ten-year-old girl.

Following the path Xiao Lan said, Chang Ning walked all the way, and soon felt the cool breeze at night in Jiangzhou City.

It turns out that the night of Jiangzhou City is also very lively, not to say that there are thousands of lights, at least it is also a continuous flow of people, Jiuling area is connected to Dongmin Province in the east, and Nanyue Province is close to Nanyue Province in the south, and the spring breeze of reform and opening up can of course blow into this Jiuling land.

"Home of Educated Youth", a chic name, although Changning does not belong to the generation of Shanxia Township, but also imagines the meaning of the name of the hotel.

Xiao Lan really stood at the door of the hotel, although she avoided the lights, she was dressed in white clothes and white dresses, so that Chang Ning could see her at a glance.

"Minister Xiao, Chang Ning was ordered to come here at the appointment, and he was not late." Chang Ning stared at Xiao Lan's round face and said with a smile.

"Late." Xiao Lan said, turned around and walked towards the hotel.

Chang Ning hurriedly followed.

Someone kept greeting Xiao Lan, as if this was the place she often came to.

Coming to a small box on the second floor and sitting down, Xiao Lan solved the doubts in Chang Ning's heart.

"The proprietress of this hotel, she was also a rural educated youth, she stayed in Jiuling for 12 years, went to Shenzhen in 1983, her husband is from here, so she returned here from Shenzhen the year before last, and opened this hotel called Zhiqing Restaurant last year."

Chang Ning nodded and said, "I said, the style of this hotel is very similar to that I learned from Hong Kong." ”

Xiao Lan said with a smile: "That's right, the two of them went to Hong Kong to learn hotel management knowledge, there are all the projects here, in addition to the dance hall wine, there are also the most fashionable karak, such a hotel, we Jinjiang has not yet, that is, in the provincial capital Nanjiang, at most there are only three or five." ”

Chang Ning said with a smile: "Minister Xiao, you are the leader, I still invite you this time." ”

"You'll be invited for another meal." Xiao Lan said.

"The leader instructs, and I will carry it out."

Xiao Lan smiled slightly, "There is no leader here, and there is no need to call Minister Xiao." ”

"But what do you call it?"

Glancing at Chang Ning, Xiao Lan said: "I'll learn from Gu Fangfang, call you Xiao Chang, and you will call me Sister Lan." ”

Chang Ning listened to it with joy in his heart, learning from Gu Fangfang, this is said cleverly, Sister Lan? Sister Lan is Sister Lan, we have a Sister Lan in Hong Kong, and there is also a Sister Lan here, which is good.

"Okay, Sister Lan, I have another sister." Chang Ning said with a smile.

Xiao Lan asked, "Does Xiao Chang have many sisters?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

"Well, a lot."

"How much is a lot?"

"Well, there's always ten." Chang Ning wanted to tell the truth, but he didn't learn math well, and he couldn't count it for a while.

"Including your sister Fang?" No mistakes, no word skipping.

Chang Ning said in his words: "Yes, including Sister Fang, but also your Sister Lan." ”

Xiao Lan's face flushed, obviously understanding Chang Ning's voiceover.

"Xiao Chang, I heard that you don't like to eat chili peppers, so I ordered, there are no chili peppers in tonight's dishes, well, I invite you to try the Sichuan cuisine of this restaurant, I heard that it is more authentic here, but it is Sichuan cuisine that does not put chili peppers."

Xiao Lan dressed up very carefully tonight, showing a noble atmosphere, and in the glamorous, it revealed a unique proud temperament of an officialdom woman.

Chang Ning admired Xiao Lan's portion, and said with a smile: "Guests are as you please, Sister Lan, I have never been particular about food, you look at it." ”

Xiao Lan smiled charmingly and reported the names of a string of dishes.

"Sister Lan, thank you for bothering you." Chang Ning said from the bottom of his heart that Xiao Lan's dishes were all what he liked to eat, which showed that she had studied her hobbies and was a caring person.

"Xiao Chang, what kind of wine do you like to drink?" Xiao Lan asked again,

Chang Ning said: "In the summer, I drink beer. ”

The waiter quickly delivered the food and drinks, and Xiao Lan waved his hand and said, "You go down, we will come by ourselves." ”
