A burst of body fragrance wafted into my nose. It was obvious that Xiaona was an amazing woman who naturally carried body fragrance!
"It smells so good!" Zhou Zhiyuan blurted out.
Xiao Na sneaked a slap on Zhou Zhiyuan's chin and murmured, "What smells so good?"
"You! Are you the reincarnation of Xiang Fei?" Zhou Zhiyuan smiled slightly, touched Xiao Na's eyebrows, and said gratefully.
After all, my ex-wife Zhao Jing doesn’t even visit her parents-in-law’s house, so how can she be filial?
Filial piety and conscience are exactly the same. If you say they exist, they must exist; if you say they don’t exist, they must not exist. This is a question of human nature.
Xiaona is very kind to Zhou Zhiyuan's parents. If Xiaona was not there, how would the two old people get through the loneliness without their children around?
It seems that when humans get old, material things alone are not enough to bring happiness, they also need spiritual outlook.
The great people have worked hard to establish the correct values, outlook on life, and world view for the Chinese people, that is, everyone is equal and spiritual outlook is above all else!
However, I don’t know who has become the running dog of capitalism, making this world where everything is about money!
It is really not advisable to only consider money!
Unfortunately, how can we turn back? How can we turn a blind eye to the decline of morale and the rampant corruption?
Zhou Zhiyuan is obviously a "contradiction". Without money, how can he survive, especially in a society where materialism is rampant and values are distorted?
Zhou Zhiyuan was hit so hard by his ex-wife Zhao Jing and the Zhao family that he felt everyone was a snob!
A good marriage would rather be broken up and destroyed by snobs.
You cannot do evil that is sent by heaven, but you cannot survive evil that is brought upon yourself!
The level of trust and the degree of being trusted have almost dropped to freezing point. Isn't it just asking for trouble?
Fake goods are rampant, even infant formula is not spared, and toxic milk powder is rampant despite repeated bans!
Food and drugs are worrying, scary, and something that people dare not witness or look at directly!
The standards at home and abroad are different, and the nature of capitalists is different!
This was a topic that Zhou Zhiyuan and Xiao Na discussed in depth, so much so that they didn't dare to continue the conversation.
Medical care, education, housing and pension, the new "four mountains" are putting pressure on the people to the point of suffocating them. How can they feel happy?
Honest advice is unpleasant to the ears and good medicine tastes bitter. I am afraid that even some leading cadres cannot hear it and are blocked!
The so-called "freedom of speech" has been written into the Constitution!
If among the leading cadres of a county, a minority are awakening and serving the people, while the majority are taking advantage of the situation or engaging in corruption, then the minority will inevitably be excluded and suppressed, and will most likely be forced to withdraw from the circle.
Xiao Na accompanied Zhou Zhiyuan to drink in the small villa. She shook the red wine glass, hesitated again and again, and said slowly: "Brother Yuan, you should not show off your edge. After all, the people are still the people, and you are still you. Nothing can change!"
Zhou Zhiyuan looked at Xiaona's eyes strangely and asked, "What do you want to express?"
"No matter what, we have to ensure safety, otherwise, everything is empty talk!" Xiao Na said earnestly. After all, she hopes that Zhou Zhiyuan will be safe while being promoted step by step, and not be framed!
Zhou Zhiyuan took Xiaona's beautiful hand and kissed it, then said, "Thank you Nana for your concern. I will be safe!"
Xiaona's eyes were red, as if she had returned to her first love in an instant.
At the same time, Mayor Zheng Xiaoting accompanied the Municipal Party Secretary Zhou Zhili for a few drinks.
Secretary Zhou Zhili hesitated again and again, then smiled and said, "Xiaoting, do you think Comrade Zhou Zhiyuan of my family is too aggressive? Or too reckless?"
Mayor Zheng Xiaoting, like Xiaona, swirled her red wine glass, smiled, and said, "Secretary Zhou, your family is indeed a bit reckless and imprudent! But, looking back, in the counties and districts under Yuebei City, how many leading cadres can be as reckless and imprudent as Zhou Zhiyuan?"
Zhou Zhili chuckled, knowing full well that Zheng Xiaoting was in love with Zhou Zhiyuan, but she knew it but didn't say it out loud.
"That's right! But how should we adjust the nature of Zhou Zhiyuan's work next?" Secretary Zhou Zhili also said with a smile.
"Ah? Secretary Zhou, you want to adjust the nature of Zhou Zhiyuan's work? What do you mean?" Mayor Zheng Xiaoting asked back.
"Comrade Zhou Zhiyuan is very outstanding, but he is not suitable for maintaining stability!" It is obvious that Secretary Zhou has something else in his words.
Mayor Zheng Xiaoting was no fool. She smiled and said, "So, what adjustments does Secretary Zhou plan to make?"
"Let Zhou Zhiyuan go to Nanshan County, where Bao Li once served as the county party secretary, to gain some training." Secretary Zhou said with a smile.
"Nanshan County? Training in this impoverished, remote, and remote Nanshan County? What position?"
Zheng Xiaoting could no longer hide her love for Zhou Zhiyuan. How could she send her beloved Zhou Zhiyuan to train in the remote Nanshan County?
"What do you think?" Secretary Zhou Zhili asked, deliberately keeping the question in suspense.
"Secretary Zhou, you should at least be included in the county party committee standing committee, right?" Zheng Xiaoting became interested and said with a smile.
"It's up to you. What position do you think is suitable for joining the county party committee standing committee?" Secretary Zhou was still keeping the secret, and he also wanted to do Mayor Zheng Xiaoting a favor.
"Member of the County Party Committee Standing Committee, Deputy County Mayor, or Member of the County Party Committee Standing Committee and Minister of Propaganda!"
Mayor Zheng Xiaoting said cautiously that after all, the person in front of her was the secretary of the Yuebei Municipal Party Committee, and she would give full play to the party's control over everything.
"Mayor Zheng, for your sake, since you are his benefactor, I will appoint you as Executive Deputy County Mayor!"
In fact, Secretary Zhou Zhili had already communicated with Weihe City’s Party Secretary Nangong Taiyuan earlier to exchange each other’s capable subordinates and close confidants whom they wanted to promote.
Zheng Xiaoting excitedly gave Secretary Zhou Zhili a thumbs-up and said with a smile, "Secretary Zhou, you are Zhou Zhiyuan's great benefactor. I am still a little behind in my conservative thinking!"
"Mayor Zheng, you're not being conservative or backward, but rather being a bit cautious! After all, men and women shouldn't touch each other. If you get too close, won't gossip start flying everywhere?"
It is obvious that Secretary Zhou Zhili has something else in her words. Just like Ouyang Naran, the county party secretary of Jing'an County, she has to be wary of Zheng Xiaoting and Zhou Zhiyuan joining forces to her detriment!
Zhou Zhili knew very well that even though she had already regarded Zhou Zhiyuan as a family member, in the end, Zheng Xiaoting was Zhou Zhiyuan's benefactor. It was very likely that Zhou Zhiyuan and Zheng Xiaoting would become "partners" in that sense that no one could separate!
Mayor Zheng Xiaoting smiled slightly, shrugged, and said with a smile: "Secretary Zhou, I thank you on behalf of Zhou Zhiyuan!"
The two red wine glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound. They looked at each other and smiled knowingly. In fact, they understood each other.
When it comes to power, whoever is in charge will be wary of the second-in-command and subordinates. After all, people’s hearts are hidden!
