I smiled and nodded: "I understand correctly."
She couldn't help but praise him, "Guan Hongjun, you are still the smartest. In this case, I will take the lead and bring it up at the Standing Committee meeting."
She thought for a moment and then asked, "Do we need to inform County Governor Zhang first? What if he objects at the meeting?"
I shook my head: "You still don't understand Zhang Xiaodong. He is not the kind of person who blindly opposes for his own benefit. His vision and pattern are much bigger."
She worried, "But if we don't inform him in advance, County Chief Zhang will definitely feel uncomfortable and think that we are doing something behind his back."
I explained, "Let Liu Kexiao communicate this to him before the meeting. If Zhang Xiaodong knew about this in advance, Liu Kexiao would think that Zhang Xiaodong secretly instructed the two of us to do this. That might cause Liu Kexiao to be disgusted, and he might even oppose for the sake of opposing."
She thought what I said made sense, and asked, "Do you think they have already discussed this privately?"
I shook my head. "At this time, Liu Ke-fu should be discussing this matter with his in-laws. If his in-laws agree, he will tell Zhang Xiaodong."
She became nervous again: "His in-laws won't object, right?"
I said confidently, "I will not object to that. Have you ever seen a hungry wolf throw away the fat meat in its mouth?"
She finally relaxed: "I have to go back and prepare. This is the first time I'm proposing a proposal at a standing committee meeting."
I jokingly said, "Go ahead, and remember to report the results of the meeting to me in a timely manner."
She glanced at me with disdain: "Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty in front of me?"
As I watched her walk away, I couldn't help thinking: This woman is a little old, if she was younger she would still be quite charming. But now she is still pretty, even in her middle age.
Sure enough, at noon when we were having lunch in the cafeteria, Wang Yanshu said to me mysteriously: "Cui Boren from the county party committee office called me and said that a county party committee standing committee meeting would be held at 2 pm. He also emphasized that all necessary speech materials must be prepared in advance, and the implication was quite intriguing."
I smiled slightly when I heard that: "As expected, it is progressing steadily as we expected."
Wang Yanshu's eyes flashed with admiration, and he said with emotion: "Guan Hongjun, for a talent like you, if one day we no longer work under the same roof, I will really feel a little sad to let you go."
I deliberately joked in a lighthearted way: "In ancient times, men could have wives and four concubines, but now the world has changed. Women have already held up half the sky, and maybe they can even have four favorites. Anyway, I don't mind being your male favorite or your face-to-face companion."
Wang Yanshu was stunned, and then the soup he had just drunk spurted out, splashing right onto my face.
Everyone eating in the cafeteria looked at me in surprise. I whispered, "Liberation of thought is a good thing, but it's not worth it for you to be so happy."
She said, "Guan Hongjun, you are a hooligan by nature. Even Sister Qingwan can't control you. I'm afraid other women will be unable to control you in the future."
My face darkened and I said in a muffled voice, "In my heart, no woman can be compared to Qingwan."
It was not even 12 o'clock in the afternoon when Wang Yanshu called me from the county party committee building.
The meeting ended in such a short time, and I guessed that there was no major controversy over the proposal put forward by Wang Yanshu.
Sure enough, Wang Yanshu said excitedly: "The top two leaders have reached a consensus, and this plan has been approved. Guan Hongjun, you have done a great thing that will greatly benefit the economic and social development of the entire county. You should start making arrangements to go to Hangzhou right away."
After hanging up the phone, I hesitated for a while and finally called Yu Zhiming. I didn't do it to take credit for it, but it was already autumn and the civil engineering project would have to stop when the winter comes. He had to make preparations early so as not to be caught off guard.
He was also very excited to hear the good news, and he expressed his gratitude to me again on the phone. At the end, he said: "I heard from my sister that you are going to Hangzhou on a business trip. How about this, you come to the provincial capital a day in advance, so that I can show my courtesy and gratitude."
I said, "Being able to complete this project perfectly is the greatest reward for me. There is no need to eat and drink."
He said: "Eating and drinking are of course trivial matters, but more importantly, there are some details I would like to communicate with you."
I couldn't refuse him anymore, so I agreed.
Everything went according to plan, and I began to prepare for the trip to Hangzhou. I had originally planned to take the development zone's car to the provincial capital with Wang Yanshu, but Lin Xun enthusiastically invited us to take her car.
Since this is convenient and can save the government some gas money, why not do it? I should get off.
On the day of departure, I held Xixi in my arms, who had learned to play and amuse herself with adults, and played with her for a while. Afterwards, I briefly gave my mother and sister Pang a few words, and then I set off with my suitcase.
In Lin Xun's spacious and comfortable Mercedes-Benz, we chatted all the way and before we knew it, we arrived at the prosperous provincial capital.
When it came to accommodation, Lin Xun was adamantly against Wang Yanshu and I staying at the hotel, and she urged us to stay at her magnificent villa. Although we repeatedly declined, we were finally overwhelmed by her enthusiasm and agreed to move in.
After settling in, we went to the private club that Yu Zhiming had carefully arranged. The club looked low-key on the outside, but was magnificently decorated on the inside.
Yu Zhiming had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw us, he came over to greet us warmly.
Lin Xun complained, "It's only been a few years, and there are already so many private cars in the provincial capital. During the evening rush hour, the traffic is so congested that it's hard to move. It's not even as fast as a turtle crawling."
At this time, a pretty girl in her twenties standing by hung our coats on hangers. Lin Xun introduced us, "This is my new secretary, Cui Yingying."
The girl politely nodded to me, Wang Yanshu, appearing to be very graceful.
I joked, "General Lin's status is getting bigger and bigger, and he even has a personal maid. But Cui Yingying in "The Western Chamber" is a lady, and Hongniang is a maid."
Lin Xun said: "Guan Ren, please don't tease the little girl. She is too shy to be teased by you."
Cui Yingying responded generously: "I am the crystal clear Ying, not the chirping Ying. My duty is to serve our General Manager Lin well. Guan Ren is right to say that I am a personal maid."
I was surprised by her outgoing and cheerful personality. Not only was this girl not as shy as Lin Xun said, but she was very good at taking jokes, which left a deep impression on me.
