Chapter 639: I'll Accompany You
When I arrived at Lin Xiaoxi's house, the night had already shrouded the whole city.
This city also had a river, and the upper reaches of this river were Hengyue City. When passing by the river, I searched the river surface for a long time. I hoped to stand by the river and see some words about Huang Weiwei drifting down from the upper reaches.
In the end, I was disappointed. The river surface, besides sparkling, didn't even have a fishing boat.
It has been half a month since I came to the provincial capital, and there is no news about the project funds. Old Bi didn't call me, Meng Xiaoyu didn't call me, and even Deng Hanyuan disappeared suddenly, without half a shadow.
During this period, I rarely went to Xu Mengda's club. I didn't want to see the look in Xue Bing's eyes when she looked at me. Xu Mengda didn't give me any news either. The matter of me asking him to find the old man Xu Da to sign was as if it hadn't happened.
Standing by the river, I suddenly felt infinite loneliness and desolation.
Chen Meng was still waiting for me at the hotel, but I didn't want to see her now. If I couldn't nail down the matter of Vice Governor Lin inspecting Hengyue City tonight, Chen Meng would definitely go back.
After smoking two cigarettes, I calmed down my mood and walked toward Lin Xiaoxi's house with my head held high.
Vice Governor Lin was sitting leisurely in the living room reading the newspaper. I took the wine over and whispered: "Leader, you are here!"
Vice Governor Lin's eyes shot from above his glasses, like two sharp swords, as if to penetrate my body. I avoided his eyes and turned to look for Lin Xiaoxi.
He seemed to feel my intention and said lightly: "Xiaoxi is in the room, her aunt bought her a new set of clothes. They are trying on clothes."
I gave an 'oh', holding the flowers, and looked at Lin Xiaoxi's room door.
Vice Governor Lin sighed and said: "Little Chen, come and sit. Wait for them to come out."
I accompanied with a smiling face, sat down not far from him with my body sideways, and didn't dare to look at him.
Vice Governor Lin Shengmao was very majestic, giving people a sense of invisible oppression. Being with him, breathing also became much heavier.
"I heard from Xiaoxi that you invited me to drink?" Vice Governor Lin looked at me with a smile that wasn't a smile.
I blushed and said nervously: "Leader, what qualifications do I have to invite you to drink? It's just that I have known the leader for so long, and I have some ideas I want to ask the leader for advice."
"Is that so?" Vice Governor Lin asked with interest: "What ideas do you have?"
I thought about it and said: "Leader, I will report specifically later."
Vice Governor Lin waved his hand and said: "Just say it now, no need to wait."
I had to bite the bullet and tell the situation of the Hengyue City Industrial Park, saying at the end, I said hesitantly: "There is a way to run to the ministry for money, I, a person without a way, have to ask the province for it."
He asked me with a smile: "Did you get it?"
I shook my head and said: "Too difficult! The province has money, but not everyone can ask for it."
He nodded and said: "The funds of the province are all a radish and a pit. If there is no budget fund before the year, how can there be money for you now?"
"But our Hengyue City Industrial Park really needs funds to start!" I sighed repeatedly: "Without money, the park can only be a display, wasting land and wasting manpower."
"Your Hengyue City wants to engage in park construction, but there is no plan? Pat your butt and make a decision?" His voice became severe, which in my opinion was simply aggressive.
I didn't dare to answer his words. In fact, I had no way to answer him.
I am a cadre from the county. Before I came up, the park had already been engaged in full swing for a year. Even if I were in office, a deputy bureau chief of the Letters and Visits Bureau, a role that doesn't even make a sound when farting, what qualifications do I have to participate in the organization's decision?
I couldn't tell him these words. If I said it like this, it would seem that I had the suspicion of shirking responsibility. In front of the leader, one must be good at taking responsibility. Leaders like subordinates who dare to take responsibility! Of course, one must distinguish the size of the responsibility. Only the responsibility that belongs to the leader can be boldly taken. Because no leader is a fool, they understand better than anyone else.
"Your secretary, Old Chen, should retire after the New Year, right?" Vice Governor Lin asked me.
I shook my head blankly. Discussing who retires and who doesn't behind their backs is a big taboo in officialdom. Of course I know Secretary Chen is retiring after the New Year, but I can't say it. I only pretend to be confused. Not inquiring about the affairs of superior leaders is the best character of a subordinate.
Suddenly Lin Xiaoxi's door rang. I looked up and saw two graceful women coming out of the room slowly.
Lin Xiaoxi walked in front, looking at a peach-red dress on her body while walking. I glanced at it and knew that the quality of this skirt was very good, and the workmanship was not only fine, but also particularly attentive. The skirt outlined Lin Xiaoxi's figure, like a hillside full of romantic peach blossoms.
Following behind her was a woman about forty years old. She pulled her hair high behind her head and used a very distinctive hair clip to separate her. Her skin was very white, giving people a dazzling feeling.
No need to guess, this woman must be Lin Xiaoxi's stepmother, Vice Governor Lin's wife.
I held the flowers and stood up, praising with a smile: "Really beautiful!"
"Is it?" Lin Xiaoxi looked at herself up and down, and the smile flew on her face.
I sent the flowers in my hand over and whispered: "Flowers match beauty! It seems that I was right to buy flowers today."
Lin Xiaoxi took the flowers from my hand, smelled them and said: "Hmm, it's still a bit fragrant."
She ran to her father's side and sat down, leaning half of her body on her father and acting coquettishly: "Dad, why don't you express your opinion? Am I beautiful or not?"
"Of course beautiful!" Vice Governor Lin smiled: "It's a pity that someone can't see my daughter's beauty!"
Vice Governor Lin's words made my heart tighten. I understood that he was blaming me. That year, he went to Chunshan County in person, and as a Vice Governor, he talked to me in person, the purpose was to make me his son-in-law. But I tactfully refused him. The reason I refused him was not that I didn't love Lin Xiaoxi, but in my world of love, I couldn't let two flowers be under the same sunshine.
I didn't want to let any woman be wronged! Xue Bing is good, Yue Bai is also good. Even if it is Xi Meizhu and Pan Xiaoqin, I also cherish them like my own eyes.
As for Chen Meng and Zhu Huayu, they, like Lin Xiaoxi, are destined to be just passers-by in my life. Because in the living room of my love, there is already a master, and this master is Huang Weiwei.
Vice Governor Lin's words made me panic, so that my legs were trembling slightly.
I tried hard to restrain myself, kept calm, and let the smile on my face be like carved on a stone.
Vice Governor Lin's wife looked very young. I once heard that Lin Xiaoxi went to Chunshan County because of her existence. But from the current situation, they had long since thawed the ice.
She clearly felt my uneasiness, looked at me deeply and said lightly: "Shengmao, is this the county magistrate named Chen Feng you mentioned?"
I hurriedly nodded and said: "Aunt, it was in the past, not now."
She asked in surprise: "Promoted?"
I shook my head and said: "Aunt, I am now the Deputy Bureau Chief of the Hengyue City Letters and Visits Bureau."
She gave another 'oh' and turned to ask Vice Governor Lin: "Didn't you say this young man is very unusual? Why did he go to be a deputy bureau chief of the Letters and Visits Bureau?"
Vice Governor Lin pondered for a while and said: "This is a matter for their local organization department, we can't control it."
They suddenly discussed my situation, which made me unable to adapt. I came with a task, and being led by them like this, I would walk into a ditch.
So I bit the bullet and interrupted their discussion: "Leader, are we going out to eat or eating at home?"
Lin Xiaoxi looked at me and said: "Chen Feng, you are really a master! Eating at home? What do I have to feed you? Besides, this is my home, not your home."
I smiled sheepishly and bent my waist: "I also feel it's convenient to eat outside."
Since she was ready, I had to do it myself. Without waiting for Lin Xiaoxi to greet me, I ran to the kitchen and carried the dishes she had already prepared to the dining table one by one.
After being busy for a long time, I hadn't touched the topic yet. I sat at the dining table, my heart in a panic.
Vice Governor Lin's drinking capacity was very good, and I estimated that I was no match for him at all.
When the second bottle of wine was opened, I poured wine for Vice Governor Lin while whispering: "Leader, I went to Macau some time ago."
His body trembled obviously, and then he calmed down, not answering my words.
I smiled and said: "That ghost place in Macau is really capitalism. This time in Macau, I met a lot of people. I found that our mainland actually has many people mixing rice in Macau!"
Vice Governor Lin asked unintentionally: "What kind of people did you meet?"
I counted on my fingers and said: "There is a person named Su Juan, a person named Su Mei, the two sisters are people from our Guangxi, and they are doing well in Macau!"
His eyebrows frowned, and he asked majestically: "What kind of people are these?"
I answered seriously: "I don't know exactly what they are doing. Everyone met by chance, and they are all mainlanders, so I chatted a few words when I saw them."
Lin Xiaoxi stared at me and said: "Chen Feng, eating is eating, what are you talking nonsense? Look at you, you are simply a farmer, you went to Macau once, and you don't remember your surname?"
I smiled and said: "You are really right. When I was in Suxi, I was a farmer."
"Damn farmer!" She scolded: "Punish wine!"
I laughed and raised my wine glass: "Should be punished, should be punished! The leader has seen more of the world, unlike me, who is a frog at the bottom of the well."
After drinking the wine in my hand, I said solemnly: "Leader, I came today, there is a very important matter, I must ask you for instructions."
Vice Governor Lin looked at me in surprise and said: "Little Chen, don't be polite, just say what you have to say."
I was about to open my mouth, but Lin Xiaoxi gave me a look and said: "Chen Feng, my dad said, I used to be a soldier in your hands, now I am not in your hands, after all, it is a former superior-subordinate relationship. So, my dad said, as long as it is your Chen Feng's matter, he will definitely help you."
I was overjoyed, this is simply a happy event that flew in. Vice Governor Lin said in advance that he would help me. At this time, there is Lin Xiaoxi beside me to help speak, asking Vice Governor Lin to inspect Hengyue City, isn't it easy to get?
I simply clarified: "Leader, I want to invite you to inspect the Hengyue City Industrial Park."
Vice Governor Lin was stunned, and after a long time said: "Little Chen, it's not that I can go if I want to, there are regulations in the organization."
Just when I didn't know how to speak, Vice Governor Lin's wife and Lin Xiaoxi said almost in unison: "I will accompany you."
Vice Provincial Governor Lin was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to say, "Little Chen, it's not that I can go just because I want to; the organization has regulations."
Just when I didn't know what to say, Vice Provincial Governor Lin's wife and Lin Xiaoxi said almost in unison, "I'll go with you."
