Chapter 81

Qiao Wei is going on a business trip again.

The county committee called to notify them of a meeting, and the participants nominated Qiao Wei.

This time, even Station Master Lu and Section Chief Xie did not have to go. This time, Secretary Gao and Town Mayor and Director Xie went with them.

Qiao Wei was very obedient when she went out with three older and unfamiliar leaders, and she did not ride like crazy this time.

The sunshine in early autumn was really good, and it was a pleasant ride all the way.

The meeting was about the merger of counties and towns. This time, Yongming County was expanding, and it would merge Qingshan Town and Xiahekou Town, the two towns closest to it, into its two districts.

In the future, the county seat will expand and connect with the districts.

Qiao Wei listened attentively and took notes of the meeting seriously.

Until the meeting began to discuss the name change after the merger. Someone brought up the name change. According to some historical allusions of Yongming County, it was suggested to change the name to Bo City.

Qiao Wei was stunned.

After she came into this world, she was able to locate her approximate location because she knew Lin City and the provincial capital. But she had never heard of places like Yongming County and Xiahekou Town. She thought it might be because they were small places.

But she was a little puzzled. Lin City was there, but where was Bo City?

Bo City is much more famous than Lin City.

After all the fuss, Yongming County is the future Bo City.

It is a powerful heavy industrial city.

When it comes to this, many things make sense. Xiahekou County should be the Hekou District of Bocheng, and Qingshan Town is of course Qingshan District.

These are all the places that Qiao Wei visited on business trips when she was healthy and able to work in her previous life.

In this case, the county town of Yongming County should be the old town of Bocheng.

Okay, it's all right.

It's break time at the meeting.

These were hard times, and there was no such thing as tea breaks. Everyone just went to the yard to smoke and relax.

Qiao Wei saw that Mayor Xie and the director had gone to greet people separately. She wanted to find a quiet place to stay for a while. The smell of smoke in the place where the men gathered was too strong, and it was choking enough for her.

But Secretary Gao waved to her: "Qiao Wei, come here."

With Secretary Gao's voice, many people's eyes turned to Qiao Wei.

The girl in the white shirt had been seen in the conference room. Some people asked quietly, but they only knew that she was from Xiahekou Town.

When did Xiahekou Town have such a beautiful young person working?

Qiao Wei walked over calmly: "Secretary?"

Secretary Gao liked Qiao Wei's energy, she was not in a hurry, and had a sense of calmness. People who are calm always make people feel that they can rely on them.

"This is Qiao Wei, the new writer of our town committee." Secretary Gao introduced her to a middle-aged man, "Although Comrade Qiao Wei is young, she is active and motivated in her work, and her performance is very outstanding."

"Qiao Wei, this is Secretary Meng of our county."

Qiao Wei suddenly realized that it was the secretary of the county committee. The top leader of Yongming County.

"Hello, Secretary Meng." She greeted the leader politely.

Secretary Meng stretched out his hand: "Qiao Wei, right? I've read the manuscript you wrote, it's very good. I approved it and sent it to the city for selection, and it won the award."

Qiao Wei shook hands with him and felt that his hand was very strong.

As if he noticed it, Secretary Meng let go of his hand and smiled: "I heard that you are a military family member, which is really rare."

Secretary Gao smiled and said: "Secretary Meng is also from the army."

At this time, unlike in later generations, soldiers had the opportunity to choose their own jobs after demobilization. At this time, the best choice for military officers to demobilize was undoubtedly to enter the government and pursue a career.

Qiao Wei smiled and said: "Important positions should be occupied by people from the army, so that the people can feel at ease."

With one sentence, she praised the two secretaries.

Secretary Meng's eyes flashed with admiration.

Secretary Gao told Secretary Meng again: "Qiao Wei's lover is Yan Lei. It was Yan Lei who led less than 200 people to break through the line of fire and capture two enemy positions."

Secretary Meng was really surprised this time: "It's him?"

"So Commander Yan is your lover." Secretary Meng smiled, "I've talked to him."

He understood Qiao Wei's calmness as because she had a husband who was a commander of a regiment. After the military-political transition, the regiment level corresponds to the division level. Yan Lei's level is higher than Secretary Gao, and he is at the same level as Secretary Meng.

Qiao Wei, as a social animal in her previous life, was able to get along with others. But as a person from a first-tier city, she actually has no awe of these county and town cadres in her heart. At least no fear.

She seems to be more calm than others.

But Secretary Meng could sense this lack of "fear".

If she was a family member of an officer of the same rank as him, it would make sense.

Secretary Meng praised Yan Lei: "He is amazing. When we were young, we couldn't compare to him."

"You flatter me." Qiao Wei said with a smile, "He told me that he just caught up with him. If it were someone else, Secretary Gao or you, if you two were put in that situation, you would only be better than him."

They wanted to talk more, but the mayor of Qingshan Town came over with a relatively young man.

Secretary Meng naturally had to greet him.

"Xiao Qian hasn't met Comrade Qiao Wei yet." Secretary Meng said, "You are all writers, come, let's get to know each other."

It turned out that the person brought by the mayor of Qingshan Town was a propaganda officer from the Qingshan Town Propaganda Department.

He is the real propaganda officer. The propaganda officer should have been present this time. But the county directly named Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei is just a broadcaster.

Everyone greeted each other. Qiao Wei had a vague feeling that the money officer of Qingshan Town seemed to be hostile to her.

Suddenly she remembered that she won the first prize this time, and the second prize was Qingshan Town. Because she had never been to Qingshan Town before, nor had she dealt with people from Qingshan Town, she didn't take it seriously.

After she remembered it, she understood it all at once.

Secretary Meng held the wrist of one hand and put it on his stomach, standing in a standard leadership posture: "You pen holders, you have to write well this time. The biggest event in the fourth quarter of this year is the merger of counties and towns."

Qiao Wei and Qian Ganshi both agreed.

The meeting lasted the whole day.

Looking at the time, they knew that they would not be able to catch up

with the town committee as they would get off work in the afternoon. Yan Xiang was still at the radio station. Qiao Wei had no choice but to call the town committee and told the operator directly. The call center and the radio studio were next to each other, and the operator shouted at Hu Sui at the top of his voice as soon as he stepped out of the door.

Hu Sui came to answer the phone, and Qiao Wei asked Hu Sui to take Yan Xiang to Sister Yang after work.

When they rode back to the town, it was dark and the town committee had also gotten off work.

Secretary Gao said, "Ride the bikes back home first. Return them tomorrow."

Qiao Wei happened to be thinking about Yan Xiang, so she rode to Zhao's house.

When she arrived at the street corner, she was seen by the children and chased after.

At this time, you can see some bicycles in Linshi and the county town, but the town is small after all, so riding a bicycle is a rare thing.

Qiao Wei went to Zhao's house to pick up Yan Xiang. Sister Yang was also surprised when she saw it: "This is a women's bicycle."

The light in Sister Yang's eyes was no different from those of the children running after the bicycles outside.

Qiao Wei said: "You come and ride it."

Sister Yang quickly waved her hands: "I can't, I can't."

"It's okay, I'll teach you."

Riding a bicycle is such a simple thing. Except for people with unbalanced coordination, almost everyone can learn it.

Sister Yang is strong and flexible, and she learned it in a short time.

She rode for several times before getting off and was amazed: "It feels like flying. Whoosh."

She returned the bike to Qiao Wei and gossiped: "The announcer Lu from the radio station is quite picky when it comes to finding a partner."

Qiao Wei: "Huh?"

"The Fang family introduced several to her, but she didn't like any of them."

Qiao Wei: "...Who is the one from the Fang family?"

Sister Yang thought for a moment: "Her surname seems to be Hu? The one who sent Xiangxiang here."

Oh, Hu Sui!

"Did she introduce a partner to Lu Man?" Qiao Wei also started gossiping.

"I've already found someone from the military. I've introduced two or three. Broadcaster Lu didn't like any of them." Sister Yang laughed. "The Fang family asked me today if there were any other good-looking young men. They were looking for someone who looked like Yan. They said broadcasters don't care about rank, they only care about good looks. This little girl is a bitch."

Qiao Wei laughed.

It turns out that Lu Manman is obsessed with looks.

She said, "If you have someone, introduce her to someone. Her father is the director of the supply and marketing cooperative. She is 19, has only finished junior high school, has been working for four years, and has a higher salary than me."

Finally, she added, "She has a good personality and is easy to get along with."

She is straightforward and never wastes money. Qiao Wei likes people who don't waste money.

Middle-aged women are eager to be matchmakers. Sister Yang was moved when she heard this: "With such good conditions, it's no wonder she has such a high opinion of herself. I'll ask Lao Zhao to look for her."

Qiao Wei said: "I'll ask Yan Lei to look for her too."

Yan Lei saw the bicycle in the yard when he returned home in the evening.

He circled around the bicycle and looked at it with his hands on his hips: "Is this a 26? It's so small."

"Don't you feel backache when you talk while standing?" Qiao Wei said, "Who has legs as long as yours?"

Qiao Wei couldn't ride a 28-inch bicycle at all, but Yan Lei could definitely ride it.

"This bike is old."

"Of course, the town committee bought it several years ago. It wasn't bought yesterday."

"Why did you ride it back home?"

"Isn't it because I came back late? There's no one from the town committee."

After dinner, Qiao Wei was writing at the desk again.

"What are you writing?" Yan Lei came over to take a look.

"A promotional draft," Qiao Wei said. "Not a radio draft. This time I have to write a press release."

This was supposed to be the job of a publicity officer. But the county named her, and the task fell on her.

"Isn't this harder than a radio draft?" Yan Lei asked carefully.

"Of course. A radio draft is only a few minutes long. This can be very long."

Yan Lei stopped bothering Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei was very devoted to writing. She didn't leave until she finished and put the cap on her pen. She turned around and found that Yan Lei hadn't left. He had been leaning against the door with his arms crossed, looking at her.

"What are you looking at?"

"Looking at you."

"Be serious."

"Why is it so unserious to look at your own wife? It's the most serious thing." Yan Lei smiled.

He liked to see Qiao Wei writing quickly at her desk.

The way she was focused always made him want to do something.

But he didn't dare to disturb her, and he wanted to do it but couldn't.

Theoretically, this state should be uncomfortable for a man. But Yan Lei... quite enjoyed it.
