Chapter 294

Leading cadres all like to read "Comprehensive Mirror in Aid of Governance". This is the conclusion I reached after seeing the book in Secretary Chen's hand for the second time.

Aunt Mo saw me coming over and pointed to the sofa opposite, asking me to sit. I could only sit on half of my butt, not daring to sit firmly. After all, it is the home of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, and I cannot be reckless.

Secretary Chen obviously appreciated my sitting posture, and his satisfaction could be seen from his eyebrows and eyes.

In fact, sitting posture has a decisive effect on a person. Whenever a junior sits carelessly in front of a senior, even if he is a genius, the senior will not be happy.

As for the sitting posture in the officialdom, there are even more stresses. Leaders like to be casual, smoking and talking, as if in their own living room, the so-called "talking and laughing with great scholars", nothing more than this. As a subordinate, you must sit sideways with a smile on your face. The so-called attitude of neither humble nor arrogant is all bullshit that others use to fool people. In front of the leader, you must be fearful.

Secretary Chen saw my eyes staring at the book in his hand and became interested, asking me, "Have you read it?"

I hurriedly nodded and said, "I've just skimmed through it." As soon as the words came out, I felt it was wrong, so I immediately declared, "It's too profound, I don't understand it."

Secretary Chen nodded with satisfaction and said thoughtfully, "I don't blame you! Those who can understand this book naturally have the talent to govern the country. You are still young, and it's already very good that you dare to read it and can read it."

I expressed my fear again.

Secretary Chen handed the book to me, signaling me to take a look. I took it with both hands, opened it carefully, and saw that the book was drawn with lines on the left and comments on the right, almost every page had marginal notes, and I felt infinite admiration in my heart.

When I read books, I read ten lines at a glance and swallow them whole, so I often think that Zhang Fei fighting Qin Qiong might have really happened in history.

"Little Chen, are you Xiaoxiao's boyfriend?" Aunt Mo spoke first.

I know Xiaoxiao is Huang Weiwei's nickname. Back then, Secretary Chen and his wife thought that calling her Xiaoxiao was better than Weiwei, so they called her that from then on, and it became their exclusive name for her.

I nodded noncommittally and shook my head again.

Aunt Mo was obviously very puzzled by my behavior and asked me again with a heavier tone, "What do you mean?"

I had to answer, "Aunt Mo, actually, Weiwei and I..."

Before I finished speaking, Secretary Chen stopped me from continuing and said, "Don't talk about family matters."

Aunt Mo stopped, got up, walked to the stairs, turned back and said, "You guys talk, I'll go rest first."

As soon as Aunt Mo left, Chen Meng came over and sat on the same long sofa as me. She had just washed her hair, and the faint fragrance went straight into my nostrils.

I looked at her sideways. She was wearing a bathrobe that reached her knees, and her toes were jumping mischievously in her slippers. She obviously wasn't wearing a bra, and I could almost see her firm breasts.

Suddenly, my heart was full of wild thoughts.

Secretary Chen coughed calmly, raised his eyelids, and said, "Mengmeng, aren't you going to rest yet?"

Chen Meng seemed to be very afraid of her father. She stood up when she heard the sound, but she seemed to be very reluctant to leave the softness of the sofa, standing there and refusing to leave.

"There is a guest at home." Secretary Chen was majestic without anger.

Chen Meng smiled indifferently and said, "Dad, you told me to leave, what are you talking about with Chen Feng?"

Secretary Chen looked at his daughter lovingly, patted the sofa beside him, and said, "That's true. You sit here. It's good that you're here too. I'll talk to Town Mayor Chen about some work matters. It's good for you to listen."

Chen Meng sat down beside Secretary Chen, took out a small nail clipper, and began to trim her nails with great concentration.

"Town Mayor Chen, tell me about your relocation." Secretary Chen's tone was light, and he didn't look at me.

He called me Town Mayor Chen, naturally deliberately keeping a distant distance from me.

In a noble family like theirs, people who can enter the hall like me are either relatives or running dogs. But he still deliberately called me that, obviously he didn't trust me.

I reported the relocation matter one by one. I specifically explained that the relocation was Guo Wei's credit. Without Guo Wei, Suxi Town would still be huddled in the mountain corner.

Secretary Chen obviously had an impression of Guo Wei and asked me, "Is it Little Guo who went down from the Municipal Committee?"

I hurriedly said yes.

Secretary Chen pondered for a long time, patted the book and said, "Well, Little Guo is not bad. He has courage and is a talent that can be molded."

Chen Meng, who was sitting on the side, curled her lips and said, "I think that Guo Wei is just a guy who speculates and drills."

"What do you know?" Secretary Chen reprimanded his daughter, "The Party's cadres have organizational leadership."

Chen Meng stuck out her tongue and made a ghostly face at me.

"After you relocate, what are your plans?" Secretary Chen asked me again.

I wanted to laugh in my heart. Such a small matter, what does it have to do with you, the Municipal Party Committee Secretary! Hengyue City has a population of seven million and governs eight counties and five districts. If a Municipal Party Committee Secretary manages these trivial matters, it would be inhumane if he didn't get tired to death.

I had to reorganize my thoughts. This time I didn't mention Guo Wei, but expressed my own ideas.

I said, "Secretary Chen, Suxi Town is the most remote township in Chunshan County. Although the resources are not rich, it has a rural life that city people envy. My idea is to build Suxi Town into a tourist township in Hengyue City."

Secretary Chen looked at me with interest, waiting for me to continue.

I said, "Suxi Town has the only hot spring in Hengyue City, and I want to develop the hot spring."

"A good idea." Secretary Chen patted his thigh, turned his head to look at his daughter, and said, "You didn't tell me there was a hot spring there."

Chen Meng smiled mischievously and said, "If I told you everything, would you still look for him to understand?"

Secretary Chen smiled faintly and said, "Little guy, still hiding things from Dad."

Chen Meng looked at me and smiled, crossed her legs on the sofa, leaned half of her body on Secretary Chen, and acted like a spoiled child, saying, "This Chen Feng has a lot of ghostly ideas."

Secretary Chen said "Oh", looked at me and said, "What kind of ghostly ideas do you have, let's hear them."

I shouted injustice in my heart. I looked at Chen Meng, but found that between her crossed legs, a touch of scarlet was faintly revealed.

"Why are you glaring at me?" Chen Meng rolled her eyes at me and said, "Do you dare to say you don't have ghostly ideas? Someone was beaten to death, but you brought out an outstanding figure. Do you think I didn't see through the matter of replacing the dead with the living?"

As if a thin layer of window paper had been poked through, I was instantly embarrassed and lowered my head, not daring to look at the father and daughter.

"What's going on?" Secretary Chen asked me, asking me to answer without doubt.

I said honestly, "Secretary Chen, it's actually not someone being beaten to death, it's just an accident."

"Accident?"

"Yes," I said, "Construction on the site, local farmers blocked the work, and as a result, someone accidentally fell. The person who fell was an old man nearly eighty years old, and he couldn't even walk steadily."

"Dead?"

"Passed away!" I said, "Everything has been handled according to relevant regulations."

Secretary Chen said "Oh", and turned to look at his daughter in disbelief.

I hurriedly winked at Chen Meng. She obviously saw it, so she had to say, "Maybe my investigation was inaccurate."

"Must handle the relationship between cadres and the masses well." Secretary Chen warned me, "The common people cannot have the slightest grievance. We who are cadres are here to serve them."

I nodded vigorously and smiled gratefully at Chen Meng.

Secretary Chen changed the subject and asked me, "Are you a cadre who went down from the city to engage in social education?"

I said yes, and a hope rose in my heart. I knew that the conversation was starting to get to the point, and I didn't dare to relax at all.

"How many years have you been in the township?"

"Six years, it will be seven years after the New Year," I said, wanting to take out a cigarette. I want to smoke when I'm nervous. When I smoke, my thinking can be active. I have tried this rule many times.

"Well, not bad." Secretary Chen nodded, his eyes looking at me as if he could see everything, "Want to smoke?"

Secretary Chen doesn't smoke, how can I be reckless. I hurriedly shook my head and said, "I don't want to."

"If you want to smoke, just smoke, it doesn't matter." Secretary Chen waved his hand generously.

Encouraged by him, I took out a cigarette, but didn't dare to light it. I sniffed it under my nose and put it back in the cigarette case.

"Little Chen, do you want to move your position?" Secretary Chen stared into my eyes and said.

"What I have done is not enough. I still need to continue to work hard." I said, hurriedly expressing my position. But there was a burst of joy in my heart!

"Changing positions might be more conducive to your ability to exert your ability." Secretary Chen turned his head and didn't look at me, but looked at his daughter leaning on him.

"I really still need to continue to exercise." I said, "I'm afraid I can't be trusted with new work."

Secretary Chen was not satisfied with my answer, got up and stood up, and said, "Think about it carefully."

He walked straight upstairs, leaving me and Chen Meng in the living room.

"Fool!" Chen Meng waited until her father's back disappeared after the stairs, and almost jumped up to scold me.

She stood up from the sofa aggressively, pointed her finger at me and said, "Chen Feng, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid?"

I smiled noncommittally and ignored her scolding.

"You are a pig!" She jumped over from the opposite sofa, and her fluttering hair directly teased my face. A few fine hairs seemed to drill into my nostrils, stimulating me to almost sneeze.

"I'm really stupid," I said, "I'm really a pig, a pig."

"I understand!" Chen Meng fell back in defeat, "You're not stupid! I misjudged you."

I still smiled. My trick is called "to let go in order to catch"! If I were impatient to stick to it, Secretary Chen would definitely look down on me!

"Go see your Weiwei!" Chen Meng said angrily, her eyes filled with a layer of mist.

I stood up and said apologetically, "Mengmeng, thank you for your kindness, I really thank you."

After speaking, I walked out the door.

"Stop!" She gave a light drink behind my back.

I stopped, waiting for her to continue speaking, but she ran over barefoot, suddenly hugged my head, and whispered in my ear, "I want you to be the father of the child!"

This is simply earth-shattering! Before I could react, she had already flown up the stairs like a flower butterfly.
