Chapter 427: Understanding the Essence

lose to Fang Ya later on. 。Especially after a few drinks, women who have had alcohol might be more relaxed and open. Maybe then he'll have his chance!Whether they were members of the inspection team f...Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu were both surprised. Neither of them expected to run into Mayor Hong at this hidden little restaurant Xiao Jingyu chose this place instead of the bustling Fisherman's Wharf because he considered it quiet, with fewer customers and not grand enough. For a boss to treat guests or for leaders to have a dinner appointment, they would usually find this place too shabby. 。She purposely chose this place, thinking she could avoid running into acquaintances. 。I never expected to see Mayor Hong here. 。Thinking again, Mayor Hong probably has the same idea as her - to find a quiet place with fewer people to have a meal. 。Then everyone thought of it together and came to the same place. 。Xiao Zheng asked Xiao Zhong, “Did Mayor Hong see you”Xiao Zhong replied, “I was just drinking tea on the chair at the foot of the stairs. When Mayor Hong came up, he glanced at me, but I don’t think he recognized me.” 。With so many drivers, Mayor Hong probably can't remember all of us. 。“That makes sense, Mayor Hong wouldn't remember a deputy county magistrate's driver, would he This actually put Xiao Zheng at ease. He then asked, "Who came with Mayor Hong" Xiao Zhong replied, "There were four of them: Mayor Hong, his secretary, as well as District Committee Secretary Hu Xiaoying from Changhu District, and another young woman who seemed to be Secretary Hu's assistant.” 。Their driver didn't come up. 。Xiao Jingyu was a little surprised. This driver, Xiao Zhong, could actually describe the situations of several people so clearly, and he even knew District Committee Secretary Hu Xiaoying from Changhu district. 。This shows that Xiao Zhong is still quite thoughtful, and the people under Xiao Zheng are all somewhat skilled. 。Xiao Jingyu then asked, "So, Mayor Hong is unaware of our presence here" Xia Zhong said, "He probably doesn't know. I parked my car in a small lane a few hundred meters away, and their drivers probably wouldn't see it." 。Xiao Jingyu nodded, she was a little conflicted now, wondering if she should go and say hello to Mayor Hong. 。At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the private room again. 。Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu looked at each other, wondering who was outside. 。

Whoever it is, someone has to let them in. 。Xiao Jingyu then said to Xiao Zhong: "Xiao Zhong, you help open the door." 。Xiao Zhong nodded, stood up, and went to the door to open it. “Is it Li Secretary back” It turned out to be Li Haiyan, with a bag of dried fish in her hand. After she came in, the fishy smell from drying the fish spread all over, which wasn't very pleasant. 。She really bought fish snacks just now. 。Li Haiyan handed the dried fish to Xiao Zhong and said, "Help me get it to the trunk." 。Get a large plastic bag and wrap it up, otherwise the smell is too strong. 。"Okay" 。Xiao Zhong took the dried fish and went out. 。Li Haiyan closed the private room door again and reported: "Mayor Xiao, I just saw Mayor Hong and Secretary Hu from Changhu District's cars downstairs. They are also here for dinner." 。When I arrived, I saw their drivers eating in the small compartment below and they didn't notice me. 。“Xiao Jingyu nodded and said: “Just now, Xiao Zhong came up to report this matter.” 。"Li Haiyan nodded and said, "Oh, okay." 。Mayor Hong was in room 203. I overheard him talking with Mr. Hu about the "releasing firecrackers" incident while passing by just now. 。This surprised both Xiao Jingyu and Xiao Zheng, and they were very curious. Xiao Zheng asked: "What did the leaders talk about" Although it was not appropriate to eavesdrop on the leaders' conversation, Mayor Hong's attitude towards the matter of "setting off fireworks" was also very important. 。Even a little bit of information might be crucial. 。Xiao Jingyu didn't stop Li Haiyan from speaking. 。Then, Li Haiyan said, “The voices of Mayor Hong and Secretary Hu were not loud, but I could still faintly hear some at the doorway.” 。Generally, Hu Shuji said that the "putting bombs" problem in Changhu District has reached a very serious stage and is likely to expose serious financial problems afterwards. 。Could Mayor Hong please step in and have the relevant departments investigate this matter Mayor Hong remained silent for a while, then said, 'Comrade Xiao Ying, I've also noticed this.' 。But, you should also know that this matter, bigger leaders than me all know about. 。I was supposed to handle it, but the situation above is unclear right now. 。My superiors, those above me in rank, have received the support of a fellow surname leader at the provincial level. This makes my situation very difficult. 。I've been in Jingshou City for so many years, and I want to make progress here. I don't want to be transferred to another place because of this. 。You've been following me for so long, you should understand my thoughts. 。Then, Hu Shujiji said, "I understand what you mean, but I'm worried that 'letting off fireworks' might cause problems." 。Mayor Hong said, "There are leaders bigger than me looking over this, so this matter won't be a problem for now." 。Then, Hu Shujie fell silent. 。I didn't dare stand for too long, so I came over. 。Li Haiyan's recounting of these events wasn't very complete, but Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu grasped the general idea. 。Hu Xiaoying should have also realized the seriousness of the "firing a cannon" incident. Today, she probably specially invited Mayor Hong for dinner to report on this matter. 。Mayor Ke can't afford to risk his position, so he won't agree to investigate this matter. 。After listening, Xiao Zheng turned to Xiao Jingyu: "Mayor Xiao, what do you think Should I go to Mayor Hong's box and toast him now And report to Mayor Hong If Mayor Hong knew that there was a problem with 'firecrackers' in An County, he would probably pay even more attention" Xiao Jingyu thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't think it's appropriate>>> 。Since Mayor Hong and Secretary Hu came to this remote little shop today, they must not want people to know. 。And, there's one more thing, about the time you and Tan Shuji had a meal together last time, Mayor Hong saw it too. After that, Mayor Hong hasn't had a very good impression of you. 。I think it's best if you avoid appearing in front of Mayor Hong for now. 。。He had dinner with Chen Hong and Tan Zhen, but Tan Zhen changed the restaurant to Jingzhou Yan at the last minute. That day, Hong Xu and Xiao Jingyu happened to be at Jingzhou Yan receiving leaders from Yuezhou, so Hong Xu ran into Xiao Zheng's invitation for a meal. 。That was a trap Tan Zhen had set for himself. 。Mayor Hong probably has a negative opinion of Xiao Zheng because of this. 。Xiao Zheng said to Xiao Jingyu: “That thing, it was a trap set for me by some people.” 。Later, Chen Hong and I broke up because of this. 。"Xiao Jingyu said: "I've already explained this to Mayor Hong." 。Mayor He didn't express anything, which means Mayor He hasn't shown any significant improvement in his opinion of you. 。So, it's not a good idea to go see Mayor Hong today. 。Moreover, both I and Hu Xiaoying went to Mayor Hong to seek his support, but Mayor Hong didn't agree to either of us. Do you think it will work if you go to Mayor HongIt won't work, that's obvious. 。Because this involves the mayor's future. 。The provincial leaders have undergone major adjustments, with Tan Siming taking on the role of secretary. The new secretary seems to favor him, and Hong Xu should be aware of this. At this juncture, going against Tan Siming would likely do more harm than good for him. 。Therefore, Hong Xu chose to do nothing at this time and wait and see what would happen. 。At this time, any request for Hongxu to take action and investigate matters related to Tan Zhen, Hongxu would probably ignore it. 。People are all profit-seeking and loss-avoiding, so neither Hu Xiaoying nor Xiao Jingyu succeeded. 。Then don't even mention Xiao Zheng. 。Xiao Zheng could only shake his head at Xiao Jingyu and say, "It probably won't work." 。Xiao Jingyu nodded and said, "So, you don't have to go to Mayor Hong's box today." 。"OK, I'll listen to Mayor Xiao," 。Xiao Jingyu said again, "You guys should first act according to the pre-set plan. As for other matters, we'll take it one step at a time." 。"Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Good, then shall we go now"

Xiao Jingyu turned to Li Haiyan and said, "Haiyan, you go see if there's anyone in the corridor now" Li Haiyan said, "I'll go right away." 。"After a while, Li Haiyan came back in and said, "There's no one. Mayor Hong's box is already having dinner." 。Leaving now is perfect. 。Xiao Jingyu and Xiao Zheng both stood up, following Li Haiyan out. 。The door to the box number 203 was closed, and the sounds coming from inside were very faint. It seemed that Li Haiyan must have pressed her ear very close to the door in order to hear what was happening inside. 。It is estimated that Mayor Hong and Hu Xiaoying don't want people to know they are having dinner here, so they closed the private room door tightly. Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu walked past, and no one came out. 。After going down the stairs, Li Haiyan took another look and beckoned to Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu. The two men then quickly walked past the restaurant's lobby and out onto the street. 。Mayor Ma and Hu Xiaoying's driver did not notice them. 。As soon as they reached the door, Xiao Zheng's car drove over from dozens of meters away. Xiao Jingyu and Xiao Zheng walked a few steps towards the car and got in quickly. 。Both of them felt that this meal was a bit surreptitious. 。Sometimes, for the sake of avoiding unnecessary misunderstandings, this is the only way. 。

Opening a path, Xiao Zheng asked: "Mayor Xiao, are you going back to the city now" Xiao Jingyu said: "Yes, I'm going back." 。"Where are you going" Xiao Zheng said, "I'm going there too." 。"Xiao Jingyu was startled, could it be that Xiao Zheng lived in City No. 1 Hospital today too Xiao Zheng said: “I’m going to find Sun Shuji and report the situation.” 。I made a date with him at nine o'clock in the evening, there is still half an hour left. 。"

Xiao Jingyu only then remembered: “Oh, I remember now, there is a political and legal work meeting today, requiring the county party secretary to attend. It mainly focuses on deploying the campaign against organized crime and evil forces.” 。"Did you go to Sun Shuji today, or report the 'firecracker' issue to him" Xiao Zheng nodded: "Yes, County Mayor Jin has already expressed his support for our work. If Sun Shuji can also support us, the work will be much easier." 。Xiao Jingyu nodded: "Judging from the past few things, Sun Yiqi, the secretary, is also responsible. Perhaps he can support you." 。"Xiao Zheng said, "Well, so I want to fight for it. I've got the support of both county leaders, and then our work will be much easier." 。Xiao Jingyu said: "Yes" 。I look forward to your good news. 。The car arrived at the Phoenix Hotel in City One, but instead of going to the lobby, it stopped in the parking lot. Xiao Jingyu and Li Haiyan got out of the car first. 。Xiao Zheng waited for a while before getting off the car and called the secretary of County Party Secretary Sun Yiqi to ask if Sun Yiqi had already arrived at the room

Sun Yiqi's secretary replied, "I'm sorry, County Mayor Xiao, Secretary Sun was called away by Secretary Tan half an hour ago." 。"Xiao Zheng was startled: 'Go to work or go to a social gathering' Sun Yiqi's secretary said: 'I don't know either, I stayed in the hotel room, Mr. Sun left with Mr. Tan.' " 。"This situation caught Xiao Zheng by surprise: "Do you know when Sun, the secretary, will be back" The secretary said: "I don't know either, County Head Xiao, I'm sorry." 。But I estimate it will be late. 。almness and world-weariness, which somehow made this man even more charming. 。Perhaps, later on, she could go find him. 。Fang Ya was also going to dinner with Ye Fengnian, but she walked at the back a...
