Cheng Maixiang couldn't help but look at Secretary Zheng who was talking to other elected candidates. Only then did she understand why Mayor Zou paused when announcing the election of Shuangshui Village Garment Factory. She probably was also lamenting the huge controversy this time.
"Mayor Zou, don't worry. I will work hard to live up to Secretary Zheng's expectations of me and Linwen County. I am also confident that within two years, everyone will understand that Secretary Zheng's choice today is correct, and the living standards of ordinary people will be increasingly valued by the central leadership."
Mayor Zou looked at her in surprise. Among the leaders at the city level, he was considered young, so he naturally agreed with Secretary Zheng's choice. However, many leaders of the older generation disliked Cheng Maixiang and said that she was too obsessed with beauty and making money, but had forgotten the fine tradition of hard work and simplicity.
But now, after hearing what she said, he began to understand Secretary Zheng's words. This comrade was no simple matter. She was very clear about the Central Committee's trends and determination, and was willing to stay ahead of the times. Perhaps the future development of society would really have to rely heavily on people like her.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to make the lives of the villagers in Shuangshui Village better."
"It's a deal."
Everyone stood together, and the leaders of the municipal party committee also went on stage. Reporters from the city and various districts and counties stood in front of the stage to take pictures. Flashes came one after another, causing Cheng Maixiang, who was used to taking pictures with her mobile phone, to squint slightly.
After the meeting, the winners held their certificates and prizes and took photos in the auditorium, while the losers left in a hurry. After winning the awards, Shen Qingyun's wife and Fang Xiaoyan excitedly asked Ruan Peiling to take photos of them, and Ruan Peiling agreed immediately.
After they took the photo, Cheng Maixiang saw that the veteran looked lonely and didn't want to show too much excitement so as not to upset him again, so she suggested to everyone that they go back to Linwen County, and everyone agreed.
It was the coldest time of the year, and it was almost dark at five o'clock. When everyone came out of the Cultural Palace, they saw the car that had brought them there in the morning was already waiting outside.
Everyone braved the cold wind and got on the car. The driver happily congratulated Cheng Maixiang and said with a smile, "Comrade Cheng, Secretary Zheng has already heard the good news. He will come to greet you personally when we return to the county."
The car started moving quickly, and the sky outside the window went from blurry at first to completely dark in the end.
In the car, everyone was still sitting in their original seats. Ruan Peiling was a lively person. After a day, she had become familiar with Shen Qingyun's wife and Fang Xiaoyan. The three of them were chattering about today's selection meeting. The driver interrupted from time to time. Only the veteran had been silent since he came, and now he was even more silent.
Cheng Maixiang leaned on Lin Jiayu's broad shoulders, gently held his big, broad hand, and closed her eyes to rest.
Lin Jiayu tilted his head slightly and saw Cheng Maixiang's brows slightly furrowed, her fair and pretty face full of fatigue, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart.
Since the end of the college entrance examination, she has hardly had a good rest. Every day, she is either worrying about the Shuangshui Village Garment Factory or busy with their marriage. She originally thought that she could have a good rest during the New Year, but he pushed her to participate in this advanced selection meeting and stay up late to prepare the speech. It was really too hard.
No, I have to quickly build up my business so that I can help her and not let her work so hard.
Seeing that she had fallen asleep, Lin Jiayu took off his jacket and put it on her.
