Chapter 68: Meeting Xiǎoyue

y about it. 。"Xiao Zheng and Li Haiyan both thought it made sense. Li Haiyan said, "Then thank you, Xiu Shui jie." 。"What are you being polite for" Jian Xiu Shui said. The three then left the noodle...Upon arriving at the county committee, Li Xiaqing didn't take Xiao Zheng and Li Haiyan straight to the secretary's office. Instead, she went to an adjacent office labeled "Director's Office". 。This is the office of Ma Fei, director of the County Committee Office. 。The director's office door was ajar. Li Xiaqing knocked on the door and called out, "Director Ma, is the secretary busy" County Party Committee Office Director Ma Fei's desk was on the right side of the door. He was sitting against the wall, reviewing some files. 。After being interrupted by Li Xiaqing's voice, he turned his face sideways to see them, then put down the work in his hands and stood up with a smile: "Minister Li is here The secretary is waiting for you." 。

Ma Fei came up, shook hands with Li Xiaqing, and looked her up and down, smiling and saying, "Minister Li is getting more and more beautiful" Li Xiaqing smiled back and said, "Director Ma's compliment, Director Ma is also getting more and more handsome!" Ma Fei smiled contentedly and said, "Minister Li, if you think I'm handsome, come see me more often!" 。“Li Xiaoqing said, “Didn't we go to Tianhuang Town for research not long ago” Ma Fei smiled and said, “Going for research together can't…” 。Come and sit in my office sometime. 。“I'm afraid Director Ma is very busy and I don't want to disturb his work.” 。Minister Li, there's never an end to work. I'm definitely going to accompany Minister Li for a cup of tea since you're here. 。Ma Fei said, “Besides, whenever the leaders from the Organization Department come, it’s always a good thing.” 。“Today, here comes our excellent comrade Li Haiyan!”

Ma Fei's gaze swept over Li Haiyan again. 。Li Haiyan had seen the head of the County Party Committee Office, Ma Fei, before, so she simply nodded and said, "Good morning, Director Ma." 。“Ma Fei smiled and said, “Comrade Haiyan is truly outstanding. Not only is she beautiful, but I hear she is also very capable.” 。"Our Xiao Shuji selected Comrade Haiyan from Tianhuang Town, a real pearl among oysters!"

Xiao Zheng felt that this Director Ma was quite the talker, adept at playing to the audience. 。When the director Ma's eyes fell on him, Xiao Zheng proactively extended his hand: "Director Ma, nice to meet you." 。"He gave Xiao Zheng a glance, seeming a little surprised: "Who is this" Xiao Zheng's heart sank. This county committee office director actually didn't know he was Xiao Zheng Today, it was Secretary Xiao who asked him to come, so Director Ma should know him, right 。Could it be that Xiao Shuji didn't inform Director Ma

Li Xiaqing hurriedly explained: "Director Ma, this is Xiao Zheng, the party committee member and deputy town head of Tianhuang Town. During the investigation a few days ago, Xiao Shuji personally received and handled the matter, and Xiao Zheng was an important figure in it." 。"Oh, oh," Director Ma seemed to have suddenly realized something, smiling and saying, "It's the rural cadre who bravely rescued that widow! I remember now, it was you all along! I've heard so much about you." 。Haha 。Xiao Zheng was a little confused. In Director Ma's laughter, was it hearty and cheerful, or was there a hint of mockery And while Xiao Zheng's hand was outstretched, Director Ma didn't immediately shake his hand. 。Xiao Zheng just reminded: "Director Ma" 。"Master Ma looked at Xiao Zheng's hand and said, "Oh, oh" 。Then she shook hands with Xiao Zheng and immediately withdrew her hand. 。Master Ma's actions seemed intentional, yet unintentional. 。But in Xiao Zheng's feelings, Director Ma was not friendly. 。He was a little hesitant to leave his "disciple," Li Haiyan, working at the county committee office. 。Li Xiaqing said, "Director Ma, since Secretary Xiao is now free, I want to take Comrade Haiyan to report to Secretary Xiao." 。I'm afraid Xiao Shuji will be busy again later. 。"Mr. Ma said, "Alright, I'll take you in." 。Master Ma walked toward the next door, Li Xiaqing, Li Haiyan, and Xiao Zheng followed him. 。Reaching the door of Xiao Shuji's office, Ma Zhu reached back and glanced at Xiao Zheng, saying, "Comrade Xiao, can you wait for me in my office" This meant he didn't want Xiao Zheng to enter the office. 。Li Xiaqing immediately said, "Director Ma, Mr. Xiao also said that Commissioner Xiao could go in together." 。Clear 。But Ma, the director said, "Oh" 。However, Xiao Shu didn't tell me that. She said you and Haiyan came together, but she didn't mention Commissioner Xiao. 。"Commissioner Xiao, could you please come to my office for a sit I'll go check on it." 。Minister Li, Secretary Xiao's requirements are very strict, I can only be careful and cautious. 。Li Xiaqing smiled and said: "I understand" 。She looked at Xiao Zheng, and Xiao Zheng said: "It's nothing, I'll wait outside." 。You guys go in first. Your business is the important one. 。When Ma Fei saw Xiao Zheng agree to stay outside, he pushed the door open for Li Xiaqing and Li Haiyan to come in. 。Then, the door closed. 。Xiao Zheng waited outside, thinking to himself that the county committee office had a bit too much of an official air about it, making everything seem very hierarchical and rigid. 。He, Xiao Zheng, is a deputy department-level cadre. It's difficult to see the county Party secretary, let alone ordinary people. 。Don't we, as officials, all serve the people In this situation, the people can't even see the leaders. How can we understand their concerns

Xiao Zheng felt that this was related to Director Ma, who deliberately made the issue more complicated. 。But then I thought, if the county Party Secretary didn't like it this way, how could Director Ma have done this Thinking about it this way, Xiao Zheng not only disliked Director Ma, but even had thoughts about the county Party Secretary. 。。As he was thinking this, Ma Fei pushed the door open and walked out, followed by Minister Li. However, Li Haiyan remained inside. 。Minister Li said to Xiao Zheng: "Commissioner Xiao, why don't you come sit in Director Ma's office and have some tea" 。Xiao Zheng said, “No need, I’ll just smoke a cigarette out here.” 。Ma Fei glanced at Xiao Zheng, ignored him, and said to Li Xiaohua: "Minister Li, I have some time now. I have a good tea here, Fujian Da Hong Pao, come have some." 。Li Xiaoqing glanced at Xiao Zheng and said to Ma Fei, "Okay, Director Ma, I'll be right there." 。Li Xiaoqing glanced at Xiao Zheng again, then walked into Director Ma's office. 。Master Ma began fiddling with his tea set and tea leaves, occasionally laughing exaggeratedly. 。Minister Li, however, would occasionally glance at Xiao Zheng. He thought to himself, "Xiao Zheng is still not experienced enough. When facing someone like Director Ma, he wouldn't be roundabout or conceal his emotions. In the system, you can't hide your feelings; he will probably suffer greatly in the future." 。Li Haiyan talked with Xiao Shuji in his office for about ten minutes, and then came out. 。Li Haiyan saw Xiao Zheng standing alone outside and asked, "Master, why aren't you resting at Director Ma's place" Xiao Zheng said, "I feel like I've been sitting for too long, I need to stand up for a bit." 。"Has anyone let me into the conversation" Li Haiyan shook her head. 。Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Good, then it's settled." 。I'll be heading back right away. 。How are you Are you coming back to town today, or will you be working here Li Haiyan said: "I'll go tell Director Ma first. Master, wait for me here a moment." 。Xiao Zheng nodded. 。Xiao Zheng originally wanted to meet Xiao Shuji and thank him in person. After all, he was able to be rescued from the county public security bureau, thanks to Xiao Shuji's fair judgment. 。Now that his leader isn't giving him this opportunity, it doesn't matter anyway. 。He said, “I'll wait for you.” 。Li Haiyan said goodbye to Director Ma. 。Director Ma walked out of his office, glancing at Xiao Zheng once more before heading towards Secretary Xiao's office. 。Li Haiyan and Li Xiaoqing also came out of the office. 。Li Xiaochun then said to Xiao Zheng: "Xiao commissioner, Haiyan will stay here today." 。Let her get familiar with the office first, then go familiarize herself with the county youth cadre dormitory. After that, when she becomes Xiao's secretary, she should arrive early and leave late, it's impossible to go back to the town anymore. 。It seems that Haiyan is now a true county resident. 。Although Xiao Zheng felt a little reluctant, he sincerely rejoiced for Haiyan and said: "This is great. You can devote yourself wholeheartedly to work." 。it." 。Minister Li, Secretary Xiao's requirements are very strict, I can only be careful and cautious. 。Li Xiaqing smiled and said: "I understand" 。She looked at Xiao Zheng, and Xiao Zheng said: "It's...
