The tone of Shen Huai's questioning was also very ordinary, but Song Bingsheng felt embarrassed. He seemed to be able to feel the disdain and provocation from the bottom of his heart from Shen Huai's seemingly plain questioning. He turned his head to look at Shen Huai for two seconds, and then replied as if he had come back to his senses: "Oh, I mainly talked about some work in agriculture and forestry..." After saying this, he stopped talking, as if Shen Huai Huai was not qualified to hear Zhong Limin talk to him about the specific details of agricultural and forestry work.

Shen Huai didn't expect his "father" to be so guilty. He didn't dare to hide the fact that Secretary Zhong was talking, and he didn't dare to tell him about it alone. He was so guilty that he even told him about it in front of outsiders like Wei Fuming. listen.

Shen Huai looked at the wine in the glass silently-although the environment in Tengyou Township was poor, but there were still a few bottles of good wine, Shen Huai picked up the wine glass, sniffed it lightly, and smiled at Wei Fuming: "Secretary Wei, this wine is good. fragrant."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little cold, Wei Fuming wanted to say a few words to adjust the atmosphere, but suddenly found that he didn't know what to say. He felt a little embarrassed to be in this kind of situation. What's the matter with him coming in? He could only pretend to smile and say, "The wine is fragrant, then drink two more glasses. It's dark in the countryside, and there's no way to arrange other activities later..."

Whether in terms of economy, finance, taxation, employment, or the development of surrounding areas, Xiapu occupies a very important position in the local construction and development of the province. It is customary for Xiapu County to be the top leader of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee.

And because the development of Xiapu was created by Shen Huai, when Shen Huai became the secretary of the Xiapu County Party Committee and the Standing Committee of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee, or even a member of the Provincial Party Committee, he would not surprise those familiar with the situation like Wei Fuming; especially this time. Shen Huai joined the Huaihai Bay Economic Zone Development Leading Group again, and it should be a matter of course that his position has risen to a higher level.

Some people may not understand why Shen Huai has not been able to join the Standing Committee of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee for a long time. Maybe it will all be attributed to Shen Huai's age and tenure-after all, Shen Huai has officially served as a county-level cadre, and he has not yet reached his full term. three years.

As a high-level figure in the official pyramid of Huaihai Province, Wei Fuming knew that Song Bingsheng, the vice governor, had actually become an obstacle to his son's continued rise in the province; within a province, the father and son were both prominent, which was somewhat dazzling.

Zhong Limin, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, had a very clear intention to discuss Shen Huai's promotion and appointment directly with Song Bingsheng, hoping that Song Bingsheng would make room for Shen Huai's promotion; and Song Bingsheng's response to Zhong Limin said that Shen Huai was still young and experienced Insufficient and need to exercise, it is a clear rejection of Zhong Limin's kindness.

Wei Fuming thought of Song Bingsheng's blunt request yesterday not to tell Shen Huai that they were also in Huaishan. He thought that Secretary Zhong of the Provincial Party Committee might have talked to Song Bingsheng in the past two days. Can't get rid of that strong emotion? As the saying goes, there are people in the DPRK who are good at being an official. I don't know how many people in the officialdom rely on their uncles and elders to be promoted. Song Bingsheng probably never thought that he would be an obstacle to his son's promotion and appointment, right?

Tengyou was in a remote rural area, there were no decent hotels, and there was no so-called guest house in Xiangzheng Axe. There were two private small hotels with only a few rooms, and they were very simple. This time in Tengyou, everyone had a large number of entourages, and the two small hotels could not stay there. Shen Huai, on the pretext of wanting to know the hydrology and geography of Tengyou Township, went to Tengyou Township Party Committee Secretary with Hu Shuwei, Du Jian and others. He Chaogui rented a night at your house.

*************************

Early the next morning, Shen Huai had just woken up and brushed his teeth in the yard. Song Bingsheng specially asked Zheng Gang to come over and tell them that they were going back to Huaishan City, and the two groups separated.

Shen Huai will leave Huaishan late, and rush to Huaixi with Hu Shuwei. After staying in Huaixi for a day, he has seen the construction of the Qingfeng Electric Power Industrial Park, the Germanium Iron Refinery Base and the second phase of the Qingfeng Power Plant, and then rushed back to Xucheng overnight.

Although Cheng Yi could apply to the Provincial People's Bank for a house after their marriage, Shen Huai's position has changed a lot, and he may change his position in three to five years. Cheng Yi also has her own career plans, and there is no way to confirm it. Where will they live for a long time, and the two have no intention of making their home in Xucheng, so Chengyi is still the same in the province, living in a convenient dormitory building.

When I arrived in Xucheng, it was already eleven o'clock.

Shen Huai asked the driver and Du Jian to drive to the Xu Office. He took out his key and went upstairs alone. He opened the door and saw Cheng Yi was wearing pajamas, lying on the table and sleeping soundly, with a book under his face; a coat slipped off. on the floor.

At night in late April, the weather was still a little cold. Shen Huai lightly took off his jacket and put it on the sofa. Just as he was about to walk over and put Cheng Yi on the bed, the phone in his jacket suddenly rang.

The bell rang loudly, Cheng Yi woke up from her sleep, yawned, grabbed the jacket that had slipped to the ground, and said, "I was thinking of reading while waiting for you to come back, but I didn't expect this book to be so boring, so I read it. After four or five pages, the sleepy bug came..."

Cheng Yi's delicate face pressed two pale red marks on the page, her long eyelashes trembled lightly under the lamp, and her sleepy eyes were still charming.

Shen Huai took out her mobile phone from her jacket, glanced at the number, and said to Cheng Yi, "It's the call from my aunt. I don't know what my aunt is looking for me so late?" He sat down next to Cheng Yi and answered the phone.

Cheng Yi held Shen Huai's arm, leaned her head over, and leaned on his shoulder, listening to him talking on the phone with her aunt, but heard her aunt persuade Shen Huai to think about it, don't care if she can also serve as the Donghua Municipal Party Committee in a short period of time. Only then did she know that Zhong Limin, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, had approached Shen Huai's father about promoting Shen Huai to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee, but was stopped by Shen Huai's father.

Cheng Yi waited until Shen Huai hung up the phone, and then she couldn't hide her surprise and asked, "Secretary Zhong talked to your father about this?"

Shen Huai didn't know what to say about this matter now, so he was in a panic, and he just sighed needlessly.

Shen Huai didn't even talk to Cheng Yi about these things on the phone yesterday. He put the mobile phone on the table. He only felt physically and mentally exhausted. Huaishan told Cheng Yi what happened to him and said:

"Secretary Zhong asked him to talk about it, and I didn't know it beforehand. If he didn't tell me, Secretary Zhong wouldn't be able to tell me about it. It's over and no one will bring it up again. Secretary Zhong would tell me about this, so when he met me in Huaishan, he told it in front of Wei Fuming, Secretary of the Huaishan Municipal Party Committee. He was probably afraid that I would go to the old man to sue him. Wanting to seize the initiative, I called my sister-in-law again tonight, and asked her to do my ideological work - I really don't know, how could he be so guilty for such a trivial matter?"

"Your dad still doesn't understand you after all." Cheng Yi also didn't want to blame his dad in front of Shen Huai, but was annoyed by this incident. , and can not insist that he is not. It's just that Shen Huai's father didn't talk about it. Of course, Secretary Zhong couldn't take the initiative to say it. Cheng Yi never thought that Shen Huai's father would talk to Shen Huai in the presence of Wei Fuming, secretary of the Huaishan Municipal Party Committee, and other outsiders. Talk about this.

This matter spread out, and in the eyes of others, it was probably a laughing stock between Shen Huai and his father and son. And if this matter reaches Secretary Zhong's ears, what will Secretary Zhong think?

Thinking of this, Cheng Yi asked Shen Huai, "If Secretary Zhong knew about this, what would he think?"

"Yeah," Shen Huai said, looking at the ceiling, "I'm also thinking that maybe he didn't deliberately say this in front of Wei Fuming and others because of pure guilty conscience."

In general, Cheng Yi can also infer another worry that Shen Huai's father may have in his heart. Although Shen Huai's father told the provincial party secretary Zhong Limin that he had no intention of leaving Huaihai, it did not mean that Zhong Limin could not directly attend the provincial standing committee meeting. The motion for Shen Huai to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Donghua Municipal Committee was put forward.

For Shen Huai, being a member of the Standing Committee of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee, the driving force is greater than the resistance.

Shen Huai is only 30 years old, his tenure in leadership positions in districts and counties is short, and his father is the deputy governor of the province. ~ But all the unfavorable factors, before Xiapu County's construction achievements in the past few years, seem somewhat bleak.

Once Shen Huai was nominated as a member of the Standing Committee of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee or even a member of the Provincial Party Committee with his absolute achievements, the pressure would be passed on to his father.

When everyone thought that Shen Huai should be a member of the Standing Committee of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee, is it not Shen Huai's father who should take the initiative to avoid suspicion at this time?

In the eyes of Shen Huai's father, he may think that Shen Huai is the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to clear all obstacles in order to climb up. It was only when he publicly exposed the father-son conflict with Shen Huai that Zhong Limin, secretary of the provincial party committee, had some scruples and would not forcibly promote Shen Huai.

Perhaps this speculation is closer to the true face of the truth.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yi also sighed lightly.

Back then, in order to submit to Song Qiaosheng, her father forcibly sent her brother, who was full of grievances, to a foreign country. They didn't communicate with each other for many years. This made her see through the vainness and ruthlessness of politics. But today, she didn't expect to see Shen Huai's father. She couldn't imagine how Shen Huai would feel when she was deeply intrigued with Shen Huai on this kind of thing.

Cheng Yi leaned down and hugged Shen Huai tightly in her arms, trying to comfort him.

Seeing that Cheng Yi's mood was also depressed, Shen Huai reached out and patted her beautiful face that was close at hand, and said, "Since I came back from northern Yunnan, I haven't had this father in my heart, so I can do whatever he thinks in his heart. Well, it doesn't have any effect on me - you don't have to be angry with me. Otherwise, in your eyes, I still don't know what an official fan looks like."

"I didn't say you were an official fan." Cheng Yijiao said angrily.
