Chapter 1412: The New Secretary Has Arrived

Train station!

A train departing from Fengjing slowly entered the station, and a middle-aged man of medium build and slightly chubby got off the train.

He was Chen Wenqi, Secretary of the Fengjing Political and Legal Affairs Commission, transferred to be the Secretary of the Jiangzhou Municipal Party Committee.

Chen Wenqi got off the train, wrapped his military green cotton coat, tightened the backpack behind him, and followed several passengers off the train toward the exit.

At this time, Cheng Zhanjun and Deng Zhangli were at the exit, stomping their feet and wandering around.

"It's really cold today; in just this short while, the cotton jacket has been penetrated by the wind."

Deng Zhangli smoked a cigarette and then exhaled.

Cheng Zhanjun said with a smile: "I feel that the winters when we were young were colder; a snowfall would seal the door, and the icicles on the eaves were thicker than a baby's arm. Now they are rarely seen."

Deng Zhangli nodded: "I heard it's the warm winter effect; winters will get warmer and warmer in the future. I don't know if it's true or false."

Cheng Zhanjun said with a smile: "Whether it's a warm winter or not, that's for scientists to study. Our responsibility is to let the common people have meat to eat, houses to live in, and clothes to wear every meal."

Deng Zhangli nodded: "Having meat to eat, houses to live in, and clothes to wear, I believe such days won't be too far away."

Cheng Zhanjun was about to speak when he looked up and saw a familiar figure appear in his line of sight.

"He's here!"

Cheng Zhanjun walked up quickly: "Old Chen!"

Chen Wenqi smiled and gave Cheng Zhanjun a big hug.

"Long time no see."

"Yes." Cheng Zhanjun said: "You are in Fengjing and I am in Jiangzhou; it's been almost two years, but we haven't had a chance to meet."

Then Cheng Zhanjun introduced Chen Wenqi: "Old Chen, this is Comrade Deng Zhangli; from now on, you two will be working together."

"Comrade Zhangli, hello." Chen Wenqi reached out his hand.

"Secretary Chen, hello." Deng Zhangli and Chen Wenqi shook hands.

"Let's go!" Cheng Zhanjun said: "It's too cold, let's talk when we get back."

Guesthouse!

Zhou Andong was chatting with the manager, Wang Zhongqi, in the restaurant.

"They should be here soon." Wang Zhongqi looked at the time.

"Almost." Zhou Andong said: "You let the kitchen prepare."

Less than five minutes after Wang Zhongqi left, Cheng Zhanjun, Deng Zhangli, and Chen Wenqi appeared at the entrance of the restaurant.

Zhou Andong had been paying attention, and seeing them arrive, he stood up to greet them.

"Secretary Cheng, Mayor Deng!"

The two nodded with a smile, and Cheng Zhanjun pointed at Zhou Andong: "Old Chen, this is Zhou Andong; you shouldn't be unfamiliar with him."

Chen Wenqi said with a smile: "Although I haven't met Chairman Zhou, I am very familiar with Chairman Zhou."

"Secretary Chen, hello." Zhou Andong shook hands with Chen Wenqi: "I have admired Secretary Chen for a long time."

Everyone thought Zhou Andong was being polite, but only Zhou Andong knew in his heart that what he said was true.

"Let's go!" Zhou Andong continued: "I have prepared some simple meals here; let's talk while we eat."

Cheng Zhanjun pulled Chen Wenqi: "Zhou Andong is treating, we must drink well."

The four of them entered the private room, and Wang Zhongqi immediately asked the waiter to serve the dishes.

Chen Wenqi was indeed hungry, and he didn't stand on ceremony, picking up his rice bowl and shoveling rice into his mouth.

Cheng Zhanjun, Deng Zhangli, and Zhou Andong had all finished eating, but they still accompanied Chen Wenqi to eat a little.

"Old Cheng!"

Chen Wenqi had eaten enough, put down his chopsticks, and said with great emotion.

"I have to say, you are really lucky to have met Chairman Zhou, this thousand-mile horse. I also have to say, your courage at the time was really great; anyone else wouldn't have been able to do what you did."

Cheng Zhanjun sighed: "Jiangzhou was once a famous industrial hub, but after so many years, the efficiency of major state-owned enterprises has become worse and worse, the city's economic development has stagnated, market supply and demand are relatively tight, and the atmosphere of the whole society is depressed.

So I was forced to take the job; the higher-ups required me to do everything possible to boost the economy, improve the living conditions of the masses, and maintain the overall situation of social stability."

Chen Wenqi said with a smile: "You call this being entrusted with a task in a time of crisis."

Cheng Zhanjun gave a wry smile: "Whether it's being forced to take the job or being entrusted with a task in a time of crisis, I was worried to death at the time; I was really at my wit's end.

At this time, this kid Zhou Andong entered my line of sight. I still remember the shock I felt when I saw the report on core values and realizing the great rejuvenation dream.

At that time, I felt that this kid had something in his belly and was definitely a rare talent. So when I arrived in Jiangzhou, before I even took office, I went to see this kid first. Unexpectedly, he gave me another surprise and helped me open up my thinking."

Chen Wenqi said with great emotion: "That's why I said, you are really lucky."

Zhou Andong thought of the teenager who always wiped his nose with his sleeve, and it was hard to associate him with the image of a soldier.

"His changes must be great."

"Isn't it." Sun Xiaohui sighed: "If he hadn't come to find me, even if we met face to face on the street, I wouldn't have recognized him."

"After becoming a soldier, the spirit is naturally different."

Zhou Andong muttered, and asked again.

"Where is he a soldier?"

"In Qinghai." Sun Xiaohui looked outside: "According to him, it's very bitter there, and he has survived these years."

At this time, the car stopped, and Wang Wentian said: "Chairman, we are here."

Zhou Andong looked up.

The restaurant had three floors in total, the door was very large, and it looked very atmospheric.

This restaurant had been open for more than half a year, the taste of the dishes was good, so the business was very good.

"Let's go!"

The two entered the restaurant. The first floor was a scattered table, and the area looked quite large, more than two hundred square meters.

As soon as they came in, a tall girl wearing a cheongsam greeted them.

"Sir, Madam, how many of you?"

Sun Xiaohui held up two fingers: "Two."

The waiter said: "Then sit at the scattered table."

"Okay."

Sun Xiaohui nodded. Because it wasn't mealtime, there weren't many guests, so the two found a place to sit down.

The waiter put the menu on the table, and Zhou Andong said: "You order, I eat everything."

"Then I won't be polite."

Sun Xiaohui said so, but only ordered two dishes. One was Kung Pao meat cubes, and the other was wood-ear meat.
