Chapter 138: Important Reception
After ten o'clock, Secretary Gao Yuanfei's car appeared in sight, followed by a commercial vehicle.
Lu Fan pressed the car horn and led the way in front.
Half an hour later, three cars arrived at Baimu Village, followed the small road into the ditch, and soon arrived at the destination.
After Zhou Xi got out of the car, looking at the quiet and peaceful natural scenery, surrounded by green cypress trees, the air was filled with fresh breath, and he was attracted by this beautiful scenery, making people feel refreshed.
He strolled on the grassy ground, feeling the tranquility and beauty of nature.
In the center of the camp, a spacious tent had been set up, and the interior was simple and comfortable. Zhou Xi and his wife walked into the tent, sat on comfortable lounge chairs, looking at the distant mountains and the sparkling water, feeling exceptionally comfortable.
"Old Zhou, the scenery here is too beautiful. This is the real nature!"
Zhou Xi laughed: "In leisure time, coming to the deep mountains and old forests to breathe fresh air is indeed very relaxing. This has to thank Yuanfei!"
Gao Yuanfei, who was beside him, hurriedly said: "The Secretary is busy with ten thousand things, it is indeed too hard and too laborious. If it weren't for your wife coming to Yingjiang, the Secretary would never be able to rest! In fact, we must combine work and rest. The body is the capital of revolution!"
"Yuanfei, the third quarter is over. How are Ningyang's economic indicators?"
Zhou Xi's wife was unwilling and said: "Can we not talk about work? It's not easy to come out to relax. Let the brain rest. Don't you want to fish? There is a reservoir right there."
Zhou Xi laughed: "Let's go, Yuanfei, let's go fishing, so we don't be disliked!"
The two laughed and walked out of the tent. Gao Yuanfei waved at Lu Fan and said: "Bring two fishing rods!"
Lu Fan paid attention to the leader's movements at any time, and immediately called Yang Minghao to prepare fishing gear and sent it to the prepared position at the reservoir. Nests had been hit there last night and this morning to ensure that enough fish were hooked.
Putting down the fishing gear, Secretary Zhou Xi smiled and said: "Lu Fan, disturbed you!"
Being able to be remembered by the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee member, for a township secretary, it can only be a deep honor and excitement. Lu Fan hurriedly said: "The Secretary is busy with ten thousand things, it is rare to relax. It is our honor to serve you!"
Fishing requires quietness, and leaders cannot be interrupted when chatting. Lu Fan stayed for a while and went to greet Zhou Xi's wife, and accompanied her to experience the fun of barbecue with Municipal Party Committee Deputy Secretary-General Luo Kenan. He couldn't neglect the guests.
By noon, the authentic barbecue was fresh out of the oven. Lu Fan sent the sizzling barbecue to the fishing place in time, and also brought a few cans of iced beer, always hovering under the leader's eyelids.
When the roast whole lamb was fresh out of the oven, the tempting aroma came to the face, the skin was golden and crispy, and the inside was fresh and juicy, making people drool.
Chen Tianhao skillfully picked off the lamb and distributed it to each leader.
Everyone tasted it one after another and praised it, especially Zhou Xi's wife. While chewing the lamb slowly, she gave a thumbs up and praised Chen Tianhao's cooking skills: "This craft is really a unique skill!"
In the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, time passed slowly, and everyone was immersed in this ease.
Unknowingly, night fell, and dinner arrived quietly. Dishes of rich dishes were served on the table, including fragrant stewed lamb, stewed chicken, stewed fish, etc. The fish was caught by Secretary Zhou Xi himself!
These delicacies not only filled people's stomachs but also warmed their hearts. The "host" naturally won everyone's favor. During the meal, Secretary Zhou Xi specifically encouraged Lu Fan a few words. This was incredible. At the very least, it meant that the Municipal Party Committee Secretary remembered you. When you are promoted to Deputy Division level, it might become a huge opportunity.
At night, the bonfire was burning brightly beside the tent, and everyone sat around, served with beer and barbecue, and laughter echoed in the night sky.
In this beautiful small mountain village, Zhou Xi stayed away from the hustle and bustle of the city and integrated with nature. It was a relaxing experience for body and mind.
It was late at night, and everyone returned to their respective tents to rest one after another.
Zhou Xi lay in the tent, looking at the starry sky, thinking about tomorrow's work arrangements, feeling that his thinking was particularly clear.
Early the next morning, the sun shone on the grass, Zhou Xi got up early, breathed fresh air, and walked around. This feeling of close contact with nature made him feel like he had returned to thirty years ago, and his mood was more pleasant.
This camping made Secretary Zhou relax his body and mind and gain a lot.
Lu Fan and Yang Minghao helped prepare breakfast. Gao Yuanfei walked over and laughed: "What to eat in the morning?"
Lu Fan wiped his hands and said: "Secretary, I prepared soy milk, porridge, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and a few side dishes."
"Don't say, rural food tastes different. Those processed foods in city supermarkets can't compare at all."
"Secretary, then you come often, I guarantee you eat healthy food every meal. Oh, this is my classmate Yang Minghao, who works in the Political and Legal Committee. I called him to help."
Gao Yuanfei nodded thoughtfully and said: "Little Yang, you've worked hard!"
Yang Minghao hurriedly said: "Secretary, it's not hard at all, this is my honor!"
Lu Fan leaned over and whispered: "Secretary, this is a childhood friend I grew up with in the same village, the best friend."
"You come here!" Gao Yuanfei whispered, and Lu Fan hurriedly walked to the side.
"You worry too much in a day!"
Lu Fan said embarrassedly: "Secretary, it's mainly because the relationship is too good! Please bear with me!"
"You should know that Political and Legal Committee Secretary Liu Fangzhe is an old pedant. I basically don't pay attention to their internal affairs, just let them toss internally."
"Secretary, if there is difficulty, I can fully understand, don't make you embarrassed!"
"Forget it, let the Political and Legal Committee let one person out. I will explain to Liu Fangzhe. This is the only time, not as an example. First do your own work well, and take care of yourself!"
"Secretary, I've caused you trouble, thank you very much!"
Before Gao Yuanfei turned around, Lu Fan asked carefully: "Secretary, do our Baishu Bay cadres have a chance this time?"
Gao Yuanfei glared and left, leaving Lu Fan messy in the wind!
"Secretary, Secretary, don't be angry, I just asked casually, it doesn't matter if there is no chance!"
"Why are the cadres in Zhouchuan adjusted frequently? Which work of theirs didn't walk in the front? Even if they eat Wang Hongtao's old foundation, they contributed half of the county's GDP and tax revenue. Baishu Bay's momentum is not bad today, but the results have not been seen yet. Let's show the results first!"
"Secretary, don't worry, Baishu Bay will definitely be amazing this year!"
Breakfast time arrived, and Gao Yuanfei went to find Secretary Zhou Xi back.
Drinking the porridge carefully boiled with mountain spring water and millet, and eating delicious side dishes such as pickles and cucumbers, Secretary Zhou had a great appetite and drank two full bowls of millet porridge, feeling warm in his stomach.
At nine o'clock, Zhou Xi and his party left Baishu Bay reluctantly, claiming that they would come again when they were free.
In one day, Lu Fan was busy to death, and said six sentences to Secretary Zhou. Don't underestimate these six sentences, they can be worth 600,000 at critical moments!
When promoted to Deputy Division level, as long as the Ningyang County Party Committee can recommend Lu Fan, Zhou Xi will have an impression when he sees this name, and it is a good impression. After all, he has eaten Lu Fan's meal.
For a Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee member and Municipal Party Committee Secretary, promoting a Deputy Division level is just a name on paper, and he won't care at all. Who is it for? Only the County Party Committee Secretary, County Head, or Municipal Bureau Director will enter his eyes.
Looking at the mess on the ground, Lu Fan called a few duty cadres from the township government with one phone call.
When Yang Minghao left, Lu Fan secretly told him that Secretary Gao would likely help him operate the Deputy Ke level, and urged him to flatter Political and Legal Committee Secretary Liu Fangzhe well recently, get along well with his colleagues, and never get involved in the messy things in the unit. The Political and Legal Committee is a famous complex unit in the county, a deputy secretary pulls a group of people, intrigue, making the unit smoky.
On Sunday, staying in the unit with nothing to do, Lu Fan went to the police station to stroll. He hadn't been here since taking office.
Just after entering the gate of the police station, the voice of Director Wang Hongpeng came from the window on the second floor: "Secretary Lu, why didn't you say hello before coming? Wait a minute, I'll come down!"
Lu Fan laughed: "Don't come down, I'll go up!"
Arriving at the Director's office, Wang Hongpeng was busy making tea and laughed: "This was stolen from my brother. He treasures it very much. Let's enjoy the blessing of the mouth. I haven't taken this tea out to entertain people yet!"
"The teacher's tea must be wrong. Except for loving tea, District Head Wang seems to have no hobbies, and he is devoted to his work and serves the people wholeheartedly!"
"Aren't you the same? Which of the people in the township doesn't say you are good?"
"Can't compare, dare not compare! I can't even handle two enterprises. District Head Wang has made dozens of enterprises in Zhouchuan, and there is also a party member commitment system. When he arrived in Zhenbei, he was also booming. The national top 100 towns are all beckoning to Zhenbei District. Looking at the whole country, they are all leaders!"
"Secretary Lu is humble! Are you here for a stroll? Or is there something? If there is something, you order!"
"Really nothing, I, the secretary, can't not visit the police station once, right? Work still depends on your support!"
"Okay, then taste tea!"
After chatting for a while, Lu Fan said: "Director Wang, the waste oil mud treatment plant is in your jurisdiction, right? We only have this big enterprise nearby." The police station manages two townships.
"Go to his grandmother's leg, Le Xuezhi, that dog day, opened it, relying on relationships to 'sell oil' blatantly. The radish grew, but there was no good play, and it would break the root sooner or later!"
"I said so, the background is so hard! People rely on relationships, we have no way, but if it pollutes Baishu Bay, I definitely won't follow!"
"Hey, his eldest brother is the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, can't afford to offend! Maybe before checking, the greeting has already been hit."
"Indeed, if something goes wrong, the common people will suffer. No way!"
"Damn it, there will always be a way to cure him!"
Chatting until the afternoon, no matter what Wang Hongpeng said, he wouldn't let Lu Fan go, and called the instructor and deputy director to go straight to the restaurant.
Lu Fan was alone, but this was Baishu Bay. It was not allowed to have such a powerful person. So he called Deputy Secretary Lu Mingxiong and Deputy Township Head Deng Qingwen, two "wine vats," to go head-to-head with the police station! ===== CHAPTER 139 =====
