Chapter 1425: No Looking Back

ovincial Committee, "reminder" to Xiao Zheng would lead to the vice governor, governor, and secretary of the Ninggan Province all speaking up for him! It was clear that Du Longfei's words had made Che...When Cui Tingjian said this, a whirring sound of a drill suddenly came from next door. 。The construction company has been working overtime these days to partition the office. Except for ensuring that the leaders get a break during lunch and don't work, at all other times, sounds like "du du du", "bang bang bang" and "woo woo woo" can be heard at any moment. 。However, Xiao Zheng was simply too busy to pay much attention to these things. 。After a while of "dialing" sounds, Xiao Zheng smiled at Cui Tingjian and said: "Secretary Cui, don't put me on a pedestal! Today, I also appreciate everyone's hard work." 。No matter what, today's actions still yielded some results. The credit goes to everyone. 。Okay, everyone, go rest for a bit. 。There has been new progress, and I will have Secretary Sun inform everyone promptly. 。Sitting for too long really does make your back ache. 。“Vice secretary Cui Tingjian stood up and said, “Secretary Xiao doesn't smoke here, I didn't dare to smoke just now!” Mayor Xie Zichang also stood up and smiled, “Go back and have a cigarette quickly.” 。"Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Well, I'm not used to smoking anymore. Please forgive me." 。"No big deal! Mayor, why don't you come to my office and have a smoke You don't have to wait until you get back to your office." 。"When a craving for cigarettes hits, it's the most miserable," Cui Tingjian invited Xie Zichang. 。"Alright, go to your office and smoke one first, then come back!" Saying that, Xie Ziliang and Xiao Zheng waved their hands and walked out. 。Smoking is just an excuse, Xie Ziqiang and Cui Tingjian must have something else to discuss, of course, they definitely won't be without secretly gloating. 。Today, when Xiao Zheng said he was going to arrest Lu Caiguang and shut down the Tianwang Group's business, Xie Ziliang, Cui Tingjian, Sun Liangji, and Hong Zhenglong all opposed him. Although Xiao Zheng was the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he had no choice but to step back and dare not mention it again! So in fact, Xie Ziliang and Cui Tingjian won!

The two came to Cui Tingjian's office, lit a large Chong Jiu, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a plume of smoke. 。Cui Tingjian burst into laughter twice: "Good, really great! Mayor Xie, when we all opposed just now, did you see Xiao Zheng's expression That helpless look, yet he was trying to hold himself together for the sake of face! It was too funny! Ha ha, if there were wine here, I would toast with Mayor Xie!" Xie Ziqiang said: "Wait a minute, let's go have some supper." 。Then, we can have a drink. 。"Come to me, and I'll have it arranged right away." 。"How embarrassing is that" Xie Ziqiang laughed. "I'm inviting you for a late-night snack, how could I let you make the arrangements Cui Tingjian said: "Mayor Xie, don't be so polite to me! It's my honor to be invited by Mayor Xie! To be honest, I think Xiao Zheng staying here won't last long! If he stays any longer, he himself will find it boring!" Xie Ziqiang said: "Let's talk later, I'll go back to the office first" 。“I’ll arrange it right away,” said Cui Tingjian. 。"Should we call Sun, Hong and Zhao" Xie Zqiang said, "No problem, let's call them." 。"About forty minutes," Cui Tingjian said. "Meet me there." 。Xie Zqiang said, “Good, then it’s settled!”

Only Xiao Zheng and the liaison officer Yang Xuěhǔ remained in Xiao Zheng's office. 。Yang Xuehu said, "Just now, those leaders were really too much!" As Xiao Zheng's liaison officer, Yang Xuehu was there to provide service and take notes during relevant meetings, so he saw the whole confrontation. 。Xiao Zheng said, "This is mainly because our strength in Dongcao is not enough." 。Let's look for other opportunities! Let's go back to the hotel. The provincial public security officers and doctors sent from the province are taking statements and collecting evidence from 132 female workers. Let's go see what's going on. 。"Yang Xuehu immediately agreed, "Okay," and in his heart he admired Secretary Xiao. Today, such a thing happened. He was opposed by all four leaders of the municipal Party committee and government. Xiao Zheng didn't spend extra time worrying about it, and so quickly threw himself back into work! This takes such a clear mind and a lot of willpower!

However, for Xiao Zheng, this was just a habit." 。Along the way, too many commonplace setbacks have already made him unwilling to spend too much time dwelling on the emotions of failure. 。In Xiao Zheng's view, failure is merely a case of one or more elements being missing from the "heavenly time, favorable place, and harmonious people" formula, or perhaps an element simply hasn't been put in its proper place yet. 。What he needs to do is not to stay put or wallow in self-pity, but to move forward and gather the missing elements to make "heavenly time, favorable location, and harmonious people" all come together. Then, everything will fall into place naturally!

Xiao Zheng picked up his coat from the back of the chair, draped it over his wrist, and walked out. 。Yang Xuehu followed behind and closed the door to the meeting room. 。Yang Xuehu wanted to say hello to Zhao Rongxin, the director of the Municipal Committee Office, and Sun Liangji, the secretary-general of the Municipal Committee, but when he pushed open the door, he found that both Zhao Rongxin and Sun Liangji had already left. 。Yang Xuezhu originally wanted to mention it to Xiao Zheng, but then he changed his mind and thought it was better not to. Why bother adding to Secretary Xiao's discomfort!

The two walked towards the elevator together. It was already late, and most of the overtime workers had left. 。The decoration company is still busily working away. 。These overtime workers are also quite difficult, but working overtime should also be able to earn more money. Xiao Zheng didn't want to meddle anymore and continued walking outside. 。。However, firstly, there are more offices to be separated this time, and the workload is larger than expected. Secondly, we should try our best to decorate Secretary Xiao's office meticulously, so the construction period may be delayed by one or two days. 。It's not a big deal. 。"Also, about the decoration of my office, please keep it simple. No need for extravagance," Xiao Zheng said. 。"I understand," Qian Xiao said, "I will report to Director Zhao tomorrow." 。"Okay," Xiao Zheng walked forward for a few steps, then turned back and said, "Xiao Qian, you should go back to rest early." 。"Pay attention to work-life balance!" Qian Xiao was slightly taken aback. She didn't expect Secretary Xiao to specially remind her to rest. Her heart moved involuntarily: "Okay, thank you for your concern, Secretary Xiao." 。Xiao Zheng smiled at her, turned and walked toward the elevator, then went into the elevator with Yang Xuehu and went down. 。At this moment, Qian Xiao's phone rang again. She saw that it was Zhao Rongxin, the director of the Municipal Party Committee Office. Qian Xiao answered, "Director Zhao, hello" 。"Zhao Rongxin said: "To Cui's secretary's house for a late-night snack, I'll have the driver pick you up." 。"Okay, Director Zhao, I'll be down in a moment. I'm in the office right now." 。"Zhao Rongxin said: 'Hard work, Xiao Qian'" 。But I've seen it all, and your good fortune is coming soon. 。"This good thing," she should be referring to the promotion, Qian Xia couldn't help but get excited upon hearing it. 。She knew she had started from a lower position, unlike Lv Chiqin in the Office of the Commission for Discipline Inspection who graduated from a key university and was admitted to the civil service through her own abilities. She had to overtake others by taking a different route, and the best way was to deal with the male leader. 。So far, she has been sailing smoothly on this path, reaping a lot of rewards!

Therefore, the relationship with Zhao Rongxin must be handled well, of course, the relationship with Secretary Sun is even more important, and naturally there are leaders like Secretary Cui, none of whom can be offended. 。Director Zhao said that they were going to have supper at Secretary Cui's place later, which meant there would definitely be higher-ranking officials present! Qian Xiao also knew that this so-called "Secretary Cui's house" wasn't actually where Secretary Cui and his family lived. It was a villa specially arranged by the Tianwang Group for Secretary Cui, usually used to host banquets for leaders of even higher ranks, or for relaxation, even wild parties!

So today, she would definitely get close to some higher-ranking officials from the city. Amidst the clinking glasses, Qian Xiao was confident that she could lay a better foundation for her next promotion. 。

Qian Xiao got out of the building, got into the car from the office, and headed towards the villa area where Secretary Cui's home was located. 。On the way, Qian Xiao couldn't help but think of what Xiao Zheng had said to her when he turned back, "Xiao Qian, go back and rest early." 。"Take care of yourself and don't overwork!" This saying comes from a place of genuine concern. 。Qian Xiao knows very well from her journey that leaders are just using her. 。Whether it's by using her beauty or her work ability, it's all exploitation, with almost no genuine concern. 。However, at that moment, Qian Xiao felt the warmth of being cared for from Xiao Zheng!

However, mere concern was not enough to satisfy Qian Xiao's needs. 。What she needs is a promotion, more power. At that point, she could even command those who looked down on her because of her education or background, the ones who once thought they were superior to her. They would have to obey, without daring to resist! That's the magic of power, and it's the feeling she craves. 。Therefore, Xiao Zheng's concern, though it touched her slightly, was far from able to change her pursuit of power!

She pressed down on the rear window glass, letting the night wind blow in, completely blowing away that sliver of emotion Xiao Zheng had left in her heart!

Xiao Zheng returned to the East Cao Welcome Inn, which was also where he stayed. 。He Zan has already placed the 132 women he rescued today here. They are all currently gathered in a large conference room. 。The guesthouse occasionally hosts meetings for government departments and annual events for some large companies, so there are quite a few meeting rooms. 132 people is not considered many. 。Doctors from the province are on their way, but they're still in transit and will be here in a while. 。At this moment, everyone was having dinner, so the conference room also had a strong smell of food. Some women were eating and drinking at the same time, truly not yielding to men in any way. This made Xiao Zheng think of the reporters from the Huaxia Society's "Smiling..." 。Xiao Zheng, He Zan, "Smiling", Dai Weizhi and others all met. 。Zhu Juan'er saw Xiao Zheng come in, so she pulled Xin Zi over and together they bowed to Xiao Zheng, thanking him. 。Xiao Zheng nodded and asked Xinzǐ if her wound was serious and if she needed to go to the hospital for bandaging. Xinzǐ said that she heard that doctors from the province would be coming later, who were definitely more skilled than the doctors in Dongcao. She planned to have the provincial doctors take a look directly and not seek other medical treatment! Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "That's good too" 。“Silence everyone! Our city committee secretary from Dongcao is here to see you!” Zhu Juan’er shouted to the crowd. At once, the crowd spontaneously broke into applause. They couldn't believe their city committee secretary was so young. 。Some women even exclaimed with shining eyes, "Secretary Xiao is so young!" "Age doesn't matter, the key is that he's handsome!" "That's right, he's really both young and dashing!"' is held, wouldn't this become a natural thing"Liu Shisen listened intently and sat up from the bed: "What are we waiting for Let's get started!" 。I'm up now, I'll go to the secretary and the govern...
