Zhou’an County is a very ancient county town. If you trace the history, you can even go back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. At that time, there were already tribes entrusted by the Emperor Zhou, and it was also one of the birthplaces of Han civilization. Qin brick and Han tiles can be seen everywhere. , All show people the vicissitudes and heaviness of this ancient county town.
The former county government, now the county party committee and county government, is located on the east street in the center of the county seat. From ancient times to the present, it has been the political center of Zhou'an County for thousands of years.
The ancient Zhou'an County is a well-known poor county in the country, but this poor county has a good reputation, that is, it is rich in high-ranking officials, and officials who leave Zhou'an County have a smooth career without exception, including the current Beiyuan Province. The party secretary and the mayor of Xinyang City, the provincial capital, once held important positions in Zhou'an County.
Although Zhou'an County has always relied on financial subsidies and poverty alleviation funds to survive, the appearance of the county party committee and county government is very magnificent. It is said that the current Beiyuan provincial party committee secretary once served as the county party secretary of Zhou’an county. A thorough renovation was carried out, and a feng shui master was specially invited to give some guidance on the renovation work.
Sure enough, after the county party secretary was promoted, although Zhou'an County’s poverty hat remained the same, the officials who went out of Zhou’an County every two years on average have made smooth progress. Until the current provincial party committee secretary took office, Zhou’an County has changed. It is regarded as a gilded sacred place by the people in Beiyuan officialdom, and it is eager to work in Zhou'an County.
Zhang Feng is a native of Zhou'an County. He transferred from the army two years ago. He was originally assigned to work in a state-owned arsenal near his hometown. Unexpectedly, when visiting the old leader, he was taken by Zhou Xiaoyun, who was just about to go to Zhou'an County to serve as the county party secretary. He became Zhou Xiaoyun's full-time driver, and his personnel relations were transferred to the Office Affairs Management Office of the County Party Committee.
It is worth mentioning that Zhou Xiaojun is the son-in-law of the old leader Zhang Feng, and the old leader is the commander of the provincial military district.
The old leader actually disagreed with Zhou Xiaojun’s letting Zhang Feng be his full-time driver. However, due to the sentiment and Zhang Feng’s change of job, there were some reasons why he was not humane, so he did not interfere, just Zhou Xiaojun mentioned a few words privately, therefore, Zhou Xiaojun still cared for Zhang Feng very much.
After Zhang Feng served Zhou Xiaojun for a year, Zhou Xiaojun assigned Zhang Feng to the Comprehensive Department and assigned the title of a section chief. Of course, this section chief is not a section-level cadre in the true sense, but can only be regarded as a stock-level cadre. However, Zhang Feng's actual work has not changed in the slightest, and he is still working as Zhou Xiaoyun's full-time driver.
Being a driver for a leader is a technical job. Driving sometimes becomes a side job. Running errands for the leader to do private work is the driver’s main business. The driver is also the leader’s absolute confidant. Leaders may avoid their parents, wives, colleagues at higher levels, and colleagues. The secretary will not avoid his own driver. Therefore, the leader's driver often has a relationship of mutual prosperity and common loss with the leader he serves.
As the full-time driver of the county party committee secretary, Zhang Feng has become Zhou Xiaoyun’s most trusted confidant. Zhang Feng helps to deal with many unseen private affairs. Zhang Feng does not usually do much, because under normal circumstances, Zhou Xiaojun was driving the car by himself. Unless there was a special explanation, Zhang Feng would usually hold a pot of tea and sit in the garden outside the government gate waiting for a call.
The street garden was built when the office building of the county party committee and county government was rebuilt. It covers an area of more than 10,000 square meters. It is said to be the suggestion of the Feng Shui master. Pavilions, towers and pavilions, curvy water flow, green grass, blooming flowers, can be said to be The beauty is magnificent, especially the two cedar trees facing the office building in the garden, which are full of pavilions and lush.
The hanging branches of the cedar tree tightly cover the surroundings of the roots, forming a small space under the tree. Although the space is not large, it is enough to place a pair of stone tables and chairs made of terrazzo to sit on the cedar tree. Not only can you shelter from the wind, rain, and sun, you can also watch the scenery outside through the gaps in the branches and leaves, but people outside can't see the bottom of the tree.
Zhang Feng was sitting under the cedar tree on the east side, which almost became his special place. He even prepared a fine bamboo woven pillow on the stone chair. When he was tired, he fell asleep. He chose this position. Both the angle and the angle are very clever, and you can get a clear view of the scene at the gate of the county party committee and county government, and none of the pedestrians and vehicles entering and exiting can escape his observation.
Perhaps it was a habit formed in the army. He stayed here every day to observe. Zhang Feng understood the habits of everyone in the county party committee and county government. Even some details of life that were not necessarily noticed by individuals were kept in mind. Of course Now, this was not what he did deliberately, but an occupational disease that had fallen through his military career in the past few years. He was once the pride of a certain legendary army.
The northern inland in June and July is already very hot. Zhou'an County is no exception. The sun in the afternoon makes people’s skin almost leaking out. Even if you stay in the office with a ceiling fan, you can’t feel the slightest. It’s cool, in the words of Lao Liu, the concierge, even the wind is hot on this day.
Although Zhang Feng is the confidant of the county party committee secretary, he still can't reach the point of being equipped with air conditioning. Therefore, he naturally chose the place under the cedar tree and slept in the thick shade of the tree. It was just this. I was too lazy to sleep for a long time, and when he woke up, it was the beginning of the light, and he was still awakened by the nightmare.
It was the first time that Zhang Feng had such a long dream when he grew up, and it was a nightmare.
The most bizarre thing is that after waking up, the scene in the dream is just like yesterday, but he actually remembers it clearly. This is also an experience he has never had before. It is not that he has never dreamed before, but every time he wakes up, he will forget it. Erjing, unlike today, remembers it clearly bit by bit, without the slightest omission, as if it had been engraved in his mind.
In his dream, Zhang Feng lived another life. He dreamed that his brightest twenty years were spent in prison; the county party committee secretary Zhou Xiaoyun was double-regulated, and then committed suicide in fear of crime, in the words of County Magistrate Qian It is Zhou Xiaojun's extinction from the people; and Yang Xiaolan, his childhood sweetheart fiancée Yang Xiaolan, married his good friend Luo Tingfeng when he was just in jail.
The dream was very long, almost from when he had a memory, until he was more than a few years old, when he was awakened, it seemed that the dream had not ended.
The experience in the dream is too real, which makes it difficult for Zhang Feng to distinguish between true and false. All the experiences before today are the same as in the dream, except for the absence of this dream.
Recalling the life he had experienced in his dream, Zhang Feng was horrified and shocked, sitting on a stone chair blankly, staring blankly at the gate of the government that was mottled with light shadows. A Santana drove out of the government compound. The dazzling lights shook, causing Zhang Feng in the shadow of the tree to squint his eyes. Santana paused at the gate, waiting for the electric door to slide open. The back seat of the car suddenly There is a flash of fire.
Zhang Feng's eyesight is very good. Even though the distance of several tens of meters, through the windshield, the two people in the back of Santana who are lighting the cigarette with the lighter can still be seen clearly. As the fire is annihilated, Santana also slows down. Slowly driving out of the gate, he disappeared into the night in a smoke, but Zhang Feng, who was sitting under the cedar tree, was startled in a cold sweat by the scene just now.
Santana was the car of the county magistrate Qian Qingzhi. Zhang Feng could recognize it at a glance. He didn't even need to look at the license plate, but the two people sitting in the back of the car surprised him. One was Luo Tingfeng, the deputy chief of the Government Administration Division, and the other was It was Liu Shu, secretary of the county party committee secretary Zhou Xiaojun. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhang Feng would have believed that these two could sit together.
The conflict between the county party secretary Zhou Xiaoyun and the county governor Qian Qingzhi has a long history. Not only are they fighting for control, they also represent two different forces in Zhou'an County. Zhou Xiaoyun is the benchmark for foreigners and Qian Qingzhi is the local one. On the surface, Zhou Xiaojun seems to be more powerful, but in fact, Qian Qingzhi is not weak at all.
Although these two can't talk about the tip of the needle to the wheat mang, they definitely can't urinate in the same pot. As Zhou Xiaojun's confidant, Zhang Feng of course knows some of the fighting between the two big brothers, but although he is the chief of the comprehensive department. Title, but the actual work is only Zhou Xiaoyun's full-time driver, so even though it looks like a mirror in his heart, he never participates in the mutual talk between the two sides.
Liu Shu is Zhou Xiaojun’s secretary, but it was not brought by Zhou Xiaojun when he took office, but he was elected to his side after taking office in Zhou'an County. Speaking of which, Liu Shu and Zhou Xiaojun still have an unknown relationship. Liu Shuyou This elder sister works as the dean of the instructor at Zhou'an County No. 1 Middle School. She is an extremely charming and delicate woman named Liu Jingjing.
Liu Jingjing met Zhou Xiaoyun somehow and became Zhou Xiaoyun’s mistress. As soon as the wind on the pillow blew, her younger brother Liu Shu became Zhou Xiaoyun’s secretary. So, Liu Shu is definitely Zhou Xiaoyun’s caring person, Zhou Xiaoyun. One of the most trusted people.
Luo Tingfeng, like Zhang Feng, is a native of Zhou'an County. After graduating from university, he went to work in the county government. When he was transferred to the official rank, he was directly the deputy section chief of the administrative department. That is the deputy section of the department, Zhang Feng's unit. Compared with others, the general section chiefs at the first level are far behind, so one of them holds the steering wheel and the other holds the pen.
Luo Tingfeng’s family has had a deep relationship with Qian Qingzhi since his father’s generation, and Luo Tingfeng’s smooth entry into the county government and his status today is entirely dependent on the county magistrate Qian Qingzhi’s care. Needless to say, Luo Tingfeng is Qian Qing. Zhi’s hardcore confidant, many people say that if Qian Qingzhi had a daughter, he would definitely hire Luo Tingfeng as his son-in-law.
In this way, two people who didn’t match up at all got together, and they rode in the car of the county magistrate Qian Qingzhi. To say that there was no problem, Zhang Feng wouldn’t believe it even if he was beaten to death. What’s worse, This scene unexpectedly coincides with Zhang Feng's dream. If it develops in accordance with the plot in the dream, tomorrow, Zhou Xiaoyun will be taken away by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection inexplicably.
