Zheng Jiming placed the outermost guard post at the intersection where the road out of the city turns toward Taoyuan Club. From where Liu Yang and the others were standing, there was still more than two miles to that location.
He came here in a car last night, so he didn't realize how far it was, but now he looked over, and saw layers of armored vehicles, and between rows of soldiers standing like javelins, there was a cement road that was not too wide, straight, flat, Deep and long.
As people walked among them, the soldiers standing upright on both sides kept raising their arms and snapping salutes. Although he knew that the person he was respecting was not him, following Zhao Guodong, he acted like a fox and a tiger, and he felt very majestic.
Especially, Liu Yang was walking at the back, and it was a great pleasure to see Zhao Jingjing carrying a red travel bag and her buttocks wrapped under her khaki trousers twisting and turning in front of her eyes.
What should I say to Mayor Zhang about what happened from yesterday to today? What's going to happen next? Be sure not to cause a shock wave that is too violent and blows away your small body, which cannot withstand the wind and rain.
Liu Yang was thinking as he followed the footsteps of the person in front of him and suddenly heard a friendly voice exclaiming: "Liu Yang, no wonder I couldn't find you just now. How did you get here?"
Liu Yang suddenly raised his head and immediately found Yang Qiqi's big eyes full of concern in the crowd opposite.
"I..." Liu Yang was about to answer, but Zhao Jingjing turned her head and whispered: "Tell me the truth, what is your relationship with Yang Qiqi?"
Liu Yang was suddenly startled and said with a guilty conscience: "What... what is the relationship? We are colleagues, and she is my superior. Don't you know all this?"
Zhao Jingjing asked doubtfully: "That's it? Nothing else? You would rather send her home that day than drive me. What would you do if there was no special relationship? Look at the way she looks at you now. It's so seductive. He looks like a vixen and doesn’t look like a good person at first glance.”
Liu Yang smiled bitterly and said: "I just met you for the first time that day. Naturally, I got close to our leader. You don't even think about it. As soon as you got out of the car at the door, you put on a arrogant look and bossed around. I am your driver, who do you think can tolerate your attitude?"
After saying that, Liu Yang sighed, pretended to be aggrieved, and then said: "Besides... look at your attitude now, what do you think you take me for? Jingjing, to be honest, in the room this morning I said that I need to think about it, but actually I feel that our shoulders are not evenly matched and we will not be able to live together in the future... "
Zhao Jingjing quickly said: "No, no, how can you think so? Don't I care about you and care about you so I want to ask you? Don't be angry. At worst, I just won't ask you in the future... "
"Well, I know you are also concerned about it. How could I be angry? The boss didn't know when I came out last night. I will go over and explain now. You should be obedient and don't talk nonsense here." Liu Yang wiped it in his heart. Breaking into a cold sweat, I thought that I finally got over it this time, but what should I do in the future
Paper can't cover the fire, can you say that you can be deceived like this for a lifetime? This is really a headache.
However, before he could find the opportunity to squeeze through, Zhang Jing and Zhao Guodong were already at war over there.
"Who do I think you are? It turns out to be Commander Zhao? Oh, no, you are the chief of staff now. It seems that you have a bad temper because of your promotion. No wonder you have to look down on us local officials like sesame and mung bean. "As soon as Zhang Jing opened her mouth, there was a strong smell of gunpowder.
However, from Zhang Jing's voice, it can be heard that she and Zhao Guodong should have known each other for a long time.
Zhao Guodong had a wry smile on his face, turned to look at the generals around him, and said a little self-deprecatingly: "Look at you... you have become the mayor, how can you still speak so sharply?"
The anger on Zhang Jing's face did not diminish, and she said in a cold voice: "I spoke sharply? You might as well just say that I spoke harshly. Look... This is the road forged by the blood and sweat of our Sihe people. Look, this is all done by you How are the tanks and vehicles rolling over them? Look again, those crop fields that are about to mature have now become threshing grounds. If you, Chief of Staff Zhao, do whatever you want and give an order, how many people will suffer? "
Zhao Guodong smiled apologetically and said, "Well... isn't this required by the mission?"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Jing rushed over and said: "Yes, you, Chief of Staff Zhao, have a high position and are doing major things related to the survival of the country. Isn't it right to damage some roads and villagers? But? , who are these peach trees in the way? Who are those rows of houses in the way? Although I don’t know what important mission you are performing, I just can’t figure it out. Do you have to create such a big battle? ?"
As he spoke, Zhang Jing shook his head and continued: "Even if the people in Taoyuan Club committed a huge crime, these flowers and trees did not commit a crime, and those rows of houses did not commit a crime. You know that our local cadres have committed no crime. You came here, but you still ordered people to demolish the house in front of us. If this is not intentional, what is it for us? Your official, even if you want to slap us in the face, we dare not say anything. You slapped the left Face, we even took the initiative to stretch out the right cheek for you to slap. But Zhang Jing can just watch your show of power. There is no need to do it deliberately in front of so many people, right? The people around are watching. , I’m afraid this will also affect the reputation of your Chief of Staff Zhao, right?”
"Haha, where are you thinking? I really didn't mean that. When I received the news, didn't I know what the situation was here? Because I was anxious, I didn't think so carefully..." Zhao Guodong continued Explained with a wry smile.
Zhang Jing said reluctantly: "Then the people of Sihe deserve to be unlucky? What is your logic? Because you didn't understand the situation, you sent so many people to destroy the roads and damage the crops that were about to mature? We don't have this in our place. The common people grow food, but what do your soldiers eat?"
Zhao Guodong smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Yes... I have never told you these truths. Tell me, what do you want me to do to satisfy you?"
Zhang Jing said coldly: "Do I need to say this? My request is very simple. Show your sincerity and prevent the people from suffering losses."
Zhao Guodong nodded and said: "Okay, I'll pay for the damaged crops according to the price, and I'll pay for the repair of the damaged roads. Is that okay?"
"What does the head office mean? This is what you should do. Our local people actively support the army, and your army also loves the people enthusiastically. There is a relationship between fish and water. You need to figure out who is water and who is fish first." The look on Zhang Jing's face It finally felt a little better, but as she spoke, she changed the topic and said in a sarcastic tone: "It's good when the official position is big. In one sentence, you can make the government pay for your mistakes. Do you guarantee compensation?" Aren’t you just spending the people’s hard-earned money?”
Zhao Guodong reached out and patted his forehead, turned to Zheng Jiming who was standing behind him and shouted: "Commander Zheng, order the troops to return to the exercise area immediately. When you go back, you must be careful not to damage any more crops in the field."
"Yes." Zheng Jiming replied loudly, immediately turned around and conveyed Zhao Guodong's order.
Then, Zhao Guodong turned around and said to Zhang Jing with a smile: "Mayor Zhang, please let someone count your losses. I will pay for it myself without spending a penny from the public. Is that okay?"
"Okay, why not? Anyway, your family's money will never be spent in a few lifetimes. I asked Chief of Staff Zhao, has all the foreign money your family earned abroad gone moldy? I seem to remember, Shenlong Foundation The news released this year is that 10 billion will be donated to charity welfare construction in the country, right? More than 100,000 people in two towns in Sihe have just been affected by floods. It is hard to say whether the crops will be harvested or not, but now adults need to eat , the children’s school was also destroyed by the flood, could you please tell them to donate some love to the people affected by the Sihe River?" Zhang Jing praised him first, and then changed the subject and knocked on Zhao Guodong's Rip off.
But this time, Zhao Guodong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not that you don't know about this matter. It really doesn't matter if I say it. The foundation has strict operating procedures, who donates to and where to donate. These are all It needs to be investigated and verified. Besides, our business is quite big, but our family members have no right to interfere with the business operations. These are all done by professional managers. Just now I promised you to pay compensation out of your own pocket. The loss will definitely wipe out all the private money I have accumulated since I was a child. I really don’t have the ability to take money out anymore... "
As he was talking, he heard a voice from behind the crowd shouting: "Mayor Zhang, I won't tell you anymore. You must have a good relationship with the military. How can you ask the leader for money?"
Following the words, Wang Yifeng, Sun Zhuoqun, Zhang Yimin and others came from behind the crowd, sweating profusely, and stretched out their hands from a distance: "Hello, General Zhao, I am Wang Yifeng, the secretary of the Rencheng Municipal Party Committee..."
Next, naturally, there was the courtesy of greetings and shaking hands.
Then, before Zhao Guodong could say anything, Wang Yifeng said with a smile: "General Zhao, your army is very confidential in its affairs. So many of your troops are training in Sihe, but we haven't heard any news at all. Otherwise, As the local party committee and government, we should go to the labor force in person."
Compared with Zhang Jing's attitude towards Zhao Guodong, his attitude towards Zhao Guodong was like heaven and earth, one was hot and the other was cold.
Zhang Jing faced Major General Zhao with really sharp and aggressive words, forcing Zhao Guodong to use his private money to compensate the people for their losses. But Wang Yifeng didn't ask anything about the situation, but said that the party committee and the government should kill pigs and sheep to work for the army.
This contrast is not ordinary.
However, when Zhao Guodong and Zhang Jing were talking just now, they were always smiling and modest. When he faced Wang Yifeng, his expression changed.
