Chapter 2783: After the Meeting

Governor Zhu spoke for nearly tens of minutes. Governor Zhu on the rostrum spoke very seriously, and the people below also listened very seriously, but whether they listened in was another matter. For example, Zhao Desan, although he sat upright there, holding a pen in his hand, writing on his notebook from time to time, it was just for show. After all, he was no longer just entering an organ unit, and he had long been accustomed to these big and empty words. Since he started at the Yuyang Coal Bureau, every time the unit held a major meeting, the number one would read a long list of false, big, and empty words as if reading from a script.

Although listening to Governor Zhu's false, big, and empty speech on the stage, Zhao Desan didn't listen to a word, but he still followed the meeting rules. Whenever there was a pause in Governor Zhu's speech, he would applaud with other students involuntarily. After Governor Zhu finished his speech, Zhao Desan felt that his hands were sore from clapping.

Fortunately, Governor Zhu was the head of a province, and his schedule was very full. After finishing his speech, he didn't stay long and was taken out of the training conference room by a group of people. After Governor Zhu stepped down from the rostrum, according to the ceremony arrangement, Vice President Liu Jiangnan, who was in charge of the daily work arrangement of the Provincial Party School, walked onto the rostrum, stood in front of the microphone, and said with a gentle face: "Students, just now our Governor Zhu made a meaningful speech. I don't know how the students feel, but Governor Zhu's speech made me feel deeply. I think everyone is a leading cadre in various functional departments in the construction system, and even more so Party members. For this short-term training and study, I hope that all comrades can study earnestly and strive to improve their ideological awareness level, so as to better serve the society and serve the vast number of people..."

Liu Jiangnan's speech was not as long as Governor Zhu Yongsheng's. After about five or six minutes, Liu Jiangnan finished his speech, but he put forward a suggestion. He swept around the forty-odd people under the stage and said with a smile: "Since everyone is a cadre comrade in the construction system, and has the opportunity to come to the Provincial Party School together to participate in this short-term study class, I suggest that everyone introduce themselves to each other and get to know each other. Then let's go in order, starting from the front..." As he spoke, Liu Jiangnan signaled to the first middle-aged man sitting in the front row, and the man stood up, faced the back, and made a self-introduction to everyone...

One by one, forty-five people, it took about ten minutes to reach Zhao Desan. Perhaps because Zhao Desan was too young and looked tall and handsome, he attracted the attention of many people from the moment he walked in. When he stood up, almost everyone's eyes were focused on him. This guy's biggest advantage was that he was not stage-frightened. In such a grand atmosphere, he smiled, looked calm, and introduced himself loudly: "Dear elders, dear colleagues, hello everyone, my surname is Liu, my name is Zhao Desan, and I currently serve as the Director of the Construction Committee of the Chanba Development Zone in Xijing City. I am very happy to participate in this short-term study class at the Provincial Party School with everyone. Thank you all."

Zhao Desan finished his self-introduction calmly. After sitting down, he heard the old comrades sitting around start to discuss him in whispers.

"This young man turned out to be the Director of the Construction Committee of the Chanba Development Zone. He is really too young."

"He looks at most thirty years old, it's unlikely, right? Unless this guy has someone in the province, otherwise it's incredible to be the number one of the District Construction Committee at such a young age."

"Needless to say, in the organs, without connections above, even if you are capable, it is very difficult to be a department-level cadre at such a young age."

Hearing the gossip of several old comrades around him, Zhao Desan felt like sitting on pins and needles, which was very unpleasant. What people said was not entirely wrong. If it weren't for Su Qing's strong support behind the scenes, even if his ability was outstanding, he couldn't have reached where he was today, let alone participate in this Party School study, let alone Vice President Liu Jiangnan specially arranging a small suite for him to live in temporarily.

Thinking of these, Zhao Desan had many thoughts, but he didn't belittle himself because of these gossip. On the contrary, the gossip of these people stimulated his high fighting spirit in his heart. He secretly made up his mind that if he encountered trouble in his future work, he would try to find Su Qing less, and it would be best to solve it himself.

The woman sitting on the side, Yang Liu, seemed to see that Zhao Desan was in a bad mood because of the discussion about him by the people around him. She touched Zhao Desan's leg lightly with her hand. Zhao Desan then came back to his senses and tried to squeeze out a smile and turned his head to look at her.

Yang Liu smiled and said: "Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, what's wrong? Is it because you heard these people discussing you and you feel uncomfortable?"

Zhao Desan shook his head with a forced smile and said: "No."

Yang Liu smiled lightly and said: "Even if there are connections, since you are so young and someone dares to put you up, it means you have this ability. Although I just met you, Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, I can see that you are a young man with courage and talent."

This mature beauty, whom he had known for less than an hour, could give Zhao Desan such an evaluation, which really made Zhao Desan feel a bit surprised. For a time, a warm current surged in Zhao Desan's heart. He didn't know what to say, just smiled and looked at her with grateful eyes, and his favor for Yang Liu increased a lot.

Yang Liu continued: "I saw you drawing in your notebook when Governor Zhu was speaking just now. Do you think Governor Zhu was talking about big and empty words?"

Zhao Desan smiled awkwardly, shook his head and denied: "No." Actually, what Zhao Desan was drawing in his notebook just now was not anything else, but the beautiful woman beside him. Governor Zhu's speech was too boring, so he pretended to take notes while occasionally using the corner of his eye to scan the beautiful woman working in the Provincial Government beside him, sketching her side face. Hearing her say this, Zhao Desan quickly closed the notebook when he spoke.

Yang Liu smiled gently and continued: "Actually, I work in the Provincial Government, so I know Governor Zhu's character quite well. You also saw it just now. Governor Zhu can be said to be relatively young among provincial and ministerial leaders, in his early fifties. He was also transferred to Hexi Province because he achieved results in other provinces. He is an outsider governor. He has a sharp eye for talent and likes to boldly use young people, thinking that young people accept new things quickly, their thinking is updated quickly, and they can better adapt to the rhythm of the times. Actually, he is a very pragmatic leader. But how to say it, Governor Zhu has not been in Hexi for a long time, and he has differences with Secretary Jin of the Provincial Party Committee on some matters, so sometimes he doesn't want to show his face... Hey, forget it, it's better to talk less about things above..." Yang Liu was a secretary in the Provincial Government, so she naturally knew all the open and secret struggles between Governor Zhu and Secretary Jin for power. She said this unintentionally. Some things should be stopped at the right time and should not be said too detailed.

After the opening ceremony of the Party School was completed according to the established procedures, it was noon. President Liu Jiangnan told everyone on the rostrum that the comrades participating in this study class would have a meeting in the small restaurant of the cafeteria at noon today. After the opening ceremony, Zhao Desan originally wanted to go up and say hello to Zheng Ru, but as soon as the ceremony ended, before Zhao Desan could catch up, he saw Zheng Ru walking out of the ceremony venue with a man in his thirties, talking and laughing.

So, Zhao Desan didn't chase after her, feeling a bit jealous inexplicably, so he waited for Yang Liu, who was sitting beside him. Among the forty-five people, except for Zheng Ru, he only knew Sister Yang Liu, and he only met her today. While chatting with Sister Yang Liu, he walked slowly to the small restaurant of the cafeteria. Forty-five people sat at four large tables. When Zhao Desan and Yang Liu went over, the other tables were already full, and Zhao Desan saw at first glance that Zheng Ru and the middle-aged man in his thirties were sitting together, looking very unusual and very intimate.

Seeing Zhao Desan and Yang Liu walk in, Zheng Ru swept a glance at them, smiled disdainfully, and turned her head away. Zheng Ru's cold attitude made Zhao Desan a bit angry, and seeing the intimate actions between her and the middle-aged man beside her, he was full of inexplicable jealousy, so he gave up and sat next to her at the table next door with Sister Yang Liu.

It seemed that everyone was very interested in Zhao Desan. As soon as they sat down, a table of people took the initiative to come up and strike up a conversation with Zhao Desan, asking about this and that, as if they would not give up until they found out his personal privacy. However, Zhao Desan dealt with them freely. When officials sit together to eat, the best thing is to toast each other, boast about each other, and build relationships. With so many leaders of organ units sitting together, these things are naturally unavoidable. Drinking is a very deep knowledge in officialdom. At the wine table, these guys began to exert these skills. After introducing each other and becoming familiar, they began to combine freely and toast each other. Zhao Desan occasionally looked at the actions of Zheng Ru and the middle-aged man at the next table. The two were really very intimate. A table of people were boasting and toasting each other, but they sat there as if they were not disturbed, chatting endlessly.

Damn it! Zhao Desan also gave up. He deliberately did it for Zheng Ru to see. During the time when everyone was toasting each other, Zhao Desan began to exert his specialty. He kept talking like a lotus flower, trying his best to show his masculine charm. Finally, hard work pays off. The biggest gain was that after this meal, Zhao Desan not only got Sister Yang Liu's QQ number, but also her mobile phone number. Of course, Zhao Desan's reasons were all excuses for future convenience in work contact with Sister Yang Liu, asking her for advice, etc.

After the gathering at noon, among the forty-five people, most of them were drunk, except for Zhao Desan, who was still very sober. Firstly, he was only busy chatting with Sister Yang Liu, and secondly, his drinking capacity was originally large. After almost everyone left with staggering steps and flushed faces, he gentlemanly helped Sister Yang Liu, who was not good at drinking, all the way to the dormitory arranged for her by the Party School. After carefully laying her flat on the bed, he quietly left the dormitory building.

On the afternoon after the opening ceremony, the Party School did not arrange any courses, and it was only the next day that classes officially started. After coming out of the dormitory building, Zhao Desan learned after some understanding that the guy who was with Zheng Ru was called Sun Bing, a department-level cadre of the Land Bureau, in his thirties, and could be considered a young and promising guy.

Thinking of the intimate appearance of Zheng Ru and this Sun Bing together during the gathering at noon, Zhao Desan felt a bit inexplicably angry in his heart. From Zheng Ru's attitude toward him, Zhao Desan could see that she was deliberately hostile to him. Damn it! Could it be that this girl also inherited her father's mantle and had to be hostile to him?
