After getting off work at noon, Zhou Jing saw that there was no one in the office, so he touched the landline and called Wang Yannian's secretary Gao Yuan.

After Gao Yuan got the news that a foreign boss wanted to come to Qingyang to invest and build a factory, he was naturally overjoyed, and asked about the specific situation, so he hurriedly reported to the deputy mayor Wang Yannian, Wang Yannian listened, and immediately said that if Boss Yang invested sincerely, the two could meet at any time.

In order to show his sincerity, Wang Yannian picked up his mobile phone and personally called Boss Yang who was far away in Nanyue.

The two talked for more than ten minutes, and the investment was roughly finalized, Boss Yang invested 50 million, and Qingyang City was responsible for providing a bank loan of 10 million yuan to build a concrete factory with an annual output of 700,000 cubic meters.

At the end of the call, Wang Yannian picked up the calculator, calculated it according to the market price of concrete, and quickly concluded that if the factory is completed and put into operation, it is expected to achieve sales revenue of 130 million yuan and create tax revenue of 3.9 million yuan, which is a project with excellent prospects.

Pushing the calculator to the side, Wang Yannian touched his hair with his hand, and said with some emotion: "This Zhou Jing is really a talent, he can shine wherever he puts it, but it's a pity, he is too young and his education is low, so he can't be reused for the time being." ”

Gao Yuan made a cup of tea, handed it over, and whispered: "Mayor Wang, Zhou Jing is indeed a rare talent, but he doesn't seem to be comfortable working in China Merchants Bureau. ”

Wang Yannian was slightly stunned, picked up the teacup, gently stirred the floating tea leaves with the lid of the cup, and frowned: "What do you say?" ”

Gao Yuan bowed down and whispered: "A few days ago, Zhou Jing took great pains to write a work plan for investment promotion and handed it to Director Xie Changzhi, but after nearly a month, there was no response, obviously not taken seriously, and this time to participate in the investment fair, Xie Ju was also very negative, saying that the bureau was not funded enough, and did not agree, they were able to go out this time, or Zhou Jing used his relationship to get the money from the agricultural machinery factory. ”

When Wang Yannian heard this, the expression on his face became cold, and he said a little unhappily: "In the past two years, they have rarely gone out to run projects in China Merchants Bureau, how can they have insufficient funds?" ”

Gao Yuan paused, and said sideways: "Mayor Wang, everyone outside is saying that Xie Changzhi has set up a company by himself, and the business is still booming, can there be anything else here?" ”

Wang Yannian didn't say anything, but picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and said softly: "Don't believe the things that catch the wind and catch shadows, it's just that Lao Xie is a person who is relatively conservative in doing things and lacks pioneering ability, in fact, it is not suitable to work in China Merchants, and it is easy to delay things." ”

Gao Yuan hurriedly said: "Mayor Wang, is that the same as the above?" ”

Wang Yannian shook his head slightly, put down the teacup, and frowned: "Lao Xie will retire in two years, and it is not good to mention it now, moreover, Secretary Li and Mayor Luo trust him very much, not to mention, the city cannot find a more suitable candidate for the time being." ”

"Yes, Mayor Wang is right." Gao Yuan echoed the voice, but he was a little surprised, and secretly wondered that although Mayor Wang has been in the limelight recently and has been doing a good job in Qingyang, he still doesn't have much say in terms of personnel.

In fact, Wang Yannian also has a hard time, Xie Changzhi, as the head of the first bureau, can bypass himself and report to the first and second leaders in the city alone, if he is not very obedient, as the deputy mayor, Wang Yannian can't help the other party.

The two are working together well now, and they both give each other faces, Wang Yannian naturally won't take risks, and make the relationship too stiff, so as not to move the other party, but make himself disgraced, then he will be passive.

After pondering for a long time, Wang Yannian nodded and said softly: "That's it, you go back and talk to Zhou Jing, let him take the time to bring the investment promotion report to me, he is in the China Merchants Bureau, be low-key, don't be too aggressive, if there are any problems, you can coordinate and solve them through here." ”

"Okay, Mayor Wang." Gao Yuan picked up the teapot again, refilled the tea for Wang Yannian, and cautiously withdrew, touched his mobile phone, and told the content of the conversation just now.

Zhou Jing was riding a bicycle to his home at this time, and when he heard this, he also beat a little drum in his heart, it seems that Wang Yannian, a supporter who takes it for granted, may not be able to rely on everything, if Xie Changzhi, the director of the China Merchants Bureau, dares not to sell his face, then it will be even more difficult to say.

It is not difficult to understand that the prestige of the leader is created by power, and the greater the power in the hand, the higher the prestige, but as a deputy position, even if the power is great, it is always limited, and it is inevitable that he will shrink back when doing things, and it is difficult to have absolute authority like the number one.

Back in the community, Zhou Jing parked his bicycle, walked quickly upstairs, just took out the key, the door was pushed open, Xiao Qi stood at the door, and said with a smile: "Brother, come into the house quickly, lunch is ready!" ”

Zhou Jing smiled slightly, entered the house, changed his slippers, came to the dining table, and saw that there was already a steaming meal on the table, among them, there were not only mushu persimmons, but also roasted eggplant, and fried pork with green onions that were a little black.

Despite this, Zhou Jing was a little surprised, and said in surprise: "Xiao Qi, are you making all these dishes?" ”

Xiao Qi grinned, nodded and said, "Yes, brother, sit down and taste it, it's not delicious when it's cold." ”

"Okay." Zhou Jing first went to the bathroom to wash his hands, rolled up his sleeves and sat at the table, took chopsticks and tasted the roasted eggplant, he felt a little salty, but he couldn't bear to hit the little guy's positive surname, nodded and praised: "It's really good, Xiao Qi, how did you learn to cook?" ”

Xiao Qi smiled sweetly, sat on the opposite side, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and whispered: "I am on the train every day, and sometimes I often have to go to the dining car, so I met a cooking master, who taught me, but when the master left later, no one cared about me." ”

Zhou Jing smiled and said with concern: "Aren't you bored when you're at home in the morning?" ”

Xiao Qi shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "It's not boring at all, I cleaned up the house, sat on the sofa and watched TV shows, watched two episodes of TV series, and went to the kitchen to cook. ”

Zhou Jing took a bite of food and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Qi, in a few days, I will send you to school, you are still young, you have to study." ”

"Okay." Xiao Qi nodded, buried his head very low again, and whispered: "Brother, I never dreamed that there would be a home, there would be parents and parents, I really feel very happy, I'm afraid that after a long time, you dislike me, so what can I do?" ”

"How can it!" Zhou Jing smiled slightly, took a few dishes, sent them to her bowl, and whispered: "Didn't you say it last night, we will be a family in the future." ”

"Thank you, brother." Xiao Qi held the bowl and buried his head in eating, but his tears were like pearls with broken threads, crackling and falling into the bowl.

As soon as he cleaned up the table, the phone in the living room rang, Zhou Jing knew that it was most likely Li Jiani who was calling at this time, he hurriedly walked over, lifted the phone, and fed it, and sure enough, a familiar laughter sounded in his ears.

"Xiaojing, do you have time at night?" Li Jiani sat in the clothing store, fiddling with a ballpoint pen in her hand, and asked in a low voice.

Zhou Jing's heart trembled, and he whispered: "Of course there is, what's the matter, do you still go to the movies?" ”

Li Jiani pursed her lips and smiled, shook her head and said, "No, in order to thank you for your help last time, my father wants to invite you to the house for dinner and wants to have a few drinks with you."

When Zhou Jing heard this, he was a little stunned in his heart, and said half-jokingly: "Sister Jiani, the old man won't be a Hongmen banquet, right?" ”

Li Jiani snorted and said in a long voice: "It's the Hongmen Banquet, so do you dare to come?" ”

Zhou Jing smiled and said softly: "My wife has already given an order, how can there be any reason not to go!" ”

Li Jiani was happy in her heart, but she took a sip, blushed and said, "Stinky boy, don't talk nonsense, which one is your wife?" ”

Zhou Jing laughed, touched his nose and said, "Well, just take this opportunity to bring gifts and come to the door to propose, how about it?" ”

Li Jiani hurriedly shook her head and whispered: "Xiaojing, don't mess around, although Dad wants to invite you to drink, he doesn't necessarily agree with the two of us." ”

Zhou Jing smiled and said softly: "Sister Jiani, do you agree?" ”

Li Jiani made a slip of the tongue for a while, and when she was caught with a speech problem, she felt a fever on her face, and frowned: "Then you don't need to say, of course I don't agree, I have already said it, we are only sisters and brothers." ”

Zhou Jing sighed, lowered his voice, and chuckled: "Sister Jiani, that was a long time ago, and now the situation is different. ”

Li Jiani panicked, bit her lip, and said faintly: "What's the difference, wouldn't it be better if you forgot about that night?" ”

Zhou Jing shook his head with a smile and said in a low voice: "Then how can you forget it, you will remember it in your dreams." ”

Li Jiani giggled, touched her hot cheeks with her hand, and whispered: "You, I really don't know who to learn from, you know that you have a flamboyant tongue." ”

Zhou Jingwaner said with a smile: "It's all heartfelt words, where is there a flamboyant tongue, by the way, there is a gift for you at night." ”

Li Jiani nodded and said softly: "Okay, then you remember to come here, I'll go home early and get you something delicious." ”

Zhou Jing smiled slightly and whispered, "How can there be anything more delicious than you?" ”

"Scoundrel, don't say those crazy things!" Li Jiani took a sip, hung up the phone, picked up the small mirror, looked at the red and beautiful face inside, and couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Jing put down the phone, but saw Xiao Qi standing at the door of the study, pursing his lips and smiling, so he said in surprise: "Xiao Qi, why are you so happy?" ”

Xiao Qi nodded and said softly: "Brother, do I want to have a sister-in-law?" ”

Zhou Jing put his finger to his mouth, shushed out, and whispered: "Xiao Qi, this matter still needs to be kept secret, don't talk about it for the time being, do you know?" ”

Xiao Qi nodded vigorously, blinked his eyes and said, "Don't worry, brother, without your consent, I promise not to tell my parents." ”

Zhou Jing smiled slightly, raised his wrist and looked at the table below, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he said with a smile: "Xiao Qi, brother is going to work, if you feel bored at home, you can go to the community, but don't go too far, so as not to get lost." ”

"Got it, brother!" Xiao Qi sent him to the door, opened the door, stretched out his little hand and waved, and watched Zhou Jing go downstairs before slowly closing the door and muttering: "It's going to come to the door to propose, and you have to keep it secret, it's really strange!" ”
