Chapter 11: To Accompany the List?

Women are the most irrational, and Gao Xuemei might just make a big fuss out of this, causing a huge stir throughout the city. 。Zhao Yougen and others planned to take some pictures and videos as evide...But Chen Hong did not answer the phone. 。He might be busy.

Xiao Zheng was still drunk, feeling hot all over. Plus, their dormitory was an old brick building from the 1980s and 1990s, which was very stuffy due to its age. 。Xiao Zheng simply opened the windows and doors, took a mop, went to the public restroom to get a bucket of water, mopped the cement floor, and then wiped the tables and chairs in the room with a rag. 。The whole room is much cleaner now. 。Xiao Zheng took another shower, most of the alcohol disappeared, but his mood was a little down. 。Looking back on when I first started working, although I still lived in a simple dormitory building, my girlfriend Chen Hong often came from the county town to help me tidy up my room and wash my clothes. This made me feel incredibly warm and comforted. 。After all, Chen Hong lived in the county town and was an only daughter at home, she was considered a well-educated young lady. At home, she didn't have to do anything, but she could do something for him, it didn't really matter how much, that was just her care and liking for him. 。To be cared for and liked by others, especially someone as beautiful, intelligent, and well-born as Chen Hong, who wouldn't be happy But recently, for about a year now, Chen Hong hasn't come to this old building to see Xiao Zheng. 。Xiao Zheng asked her why she didn't come. Chen Hong had two explanations. One was that she was busy with school matters, as County No. 1 Middle School promoted her to the position of Office Director, so she was very busy lately. The other explanation was that her parents wouldn't let her go to town, and she also relayed her parents' opinion to Xiao Zheng, asking him to make money as soon as possible to buy a house in the county town, otherwise the price might rise. 。Xiao Zheng thought that the second explanation was more plausible. After six or seven years, Xiao Zheng hadn't bought a house in the county town yet. Chen Hong's parents were probably unhappy about this. Perhaps they were forcing Xiao Zheng to buy a house as soon as possible by discouraging Chen Hong from living in town. 。Xiao Zheng felt that this was understandable. The two of them were going to walk together in the future, and it was also necessary to have a house that belonged to them. 。So, over the past few years, Xiao Zheng has also made some money. After seven years, he's accumulated around 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. Buying a small apartment of 50 to 60 square meters with a loan is no longer a problem. 。Xiao Zheng also told Chen Hong about this. 。At first, Chen Hong was very happy and went to tell her parents. But Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin not only didn't feel happy for them but said: “Fifty to sixty square meters is too small, how can you live in it Chen Hong, the smallest house you have ever lived in is eighty to ninety square meters. Our current house is 120 square meters, and how can you adapt to a fifty to sixty square meter house later What if you have children in the future You'll be suffocated! Buying a house should be done all at once, at least one hundred square meters or more, with three bedrooms and two living rooms>>> 。This stumped Xiao Zheng. 。Xiao Zheng's parents have also said that if he wants to buy a house, they will support him with eight or nine thousand. 。Ke Xiaozheng didn't want to take his parents' money. His parents had been working in the mines their whole lives, raising him and sending him to school. It wasn't easy for them to get him through university. 。Besides, the two elders spend all day breathing in dust and wind, which is bad for their health. They constantly get minor illnesses, and my father's bronchitis frequently flares up. He also often goes to the hospital. 。In this situation, Xiao Zheng wouldn't want to take their money and buy a big house in the county. Their money should still be used for their retirement. 。So, the tens of thousands of dollars from his parents, Xiao Zheng really didn't want to touch. 。Thus, the matter of buying a house in the county town was put on hold. 。Xiao Zheng looked around his small dormitory room. After cleaning, he was quite satisfied. 。Xiao Zheng doesn't have high aspirations for material possessions, as long as he has a place to live and it's comfortable. 。Many people, including Chen Hong and her parents, disagree with his ideas. 。While I was thinking about these troublesome things, Xiao Zheng's phone rang. 。Xiao Zheng saw that it was Chen Hong, and his heart still skipped a beat. He picked up the phone: "Hello, Chen Hong, I called you just now, but you didn't answer..." 。“Chen Hong's voice had some warmth to it today. She said, “Oh, I just came back from eating out, I didn't see...” 。"Xiao Zheng asked, "Who are you having dinner with today" Chen Hong said, "It's a dinner gathering organized by my father's colleagues. Today it's at the An County International Hotel." 。Have you ever been here before This is my first time, and it's a pretty nice hotel. 。"

An County International Hotel Last week, "Xiao Yue" took Xiao Zheng to eat there, and they had good dishes and wine. The two of them had a big private room " 。Xiao Zheng wanted to say he had been there, but how could he explain having dinner with "Xiaoyue" Afraid Chen Hong would be jealous, Xiao Zheng said, "Oh, it was very good, wasn't it"

"It was very good, but it's a shame that it's a high-end hotel. I wouldn't go there usually unless someone invited me." 。Chen Hong said, "You guys might not have a chance to go to your town anymore." 。"As you can see, Chen Hong still hopes that Xiao Zheng can also experience it. " 。Xiao Zheng didn't think Chen Hong's words looked down on the town or him. Instead, he thought she actually cared about him. 。Xiao Zheng said, "It's okay, it's just a matter of eating the environment." 。If you were here, it wouldn't matter where we ate. 。"

This is a flattering remark to Chen Hong, Xiao Zheng thought Chen Hong would be happy, but unexpectedly, after listening, Chen Hong not only wasn't happy, but also became anxious: "Xiao Zheng, why are you so unconcerned! Can having dinner at a small restaurant in your town and having dinner at the An County International Hotel be the same You said it's just 'enjoying the atmosphere', but is that really just a difference in atmosphere No, this is a difference in status, also a difference in social standing." 。

Xiao Zheng, on my way home today, my parents were very sentimental and said that you lack drive. You're indifferent to everything and don't care about anything. 。。Of course, from this, Xiao Zheng could also feel that Chen Hong still cared about him. What she said was nothing more than to inspire his ambition. 。Xiao Zheng felt it was necessary to tell Chen Hong about today's democratic recommendation situation, so he said, "Chen Hong, I'm also making an effort. I want to tell you some good news" 。Today the town party committee put forward a democratic recommendation, and I was recommended as a candidate for inspection for the Party Committee member position. 。“What A democratic recommendation You got recommended” Chen Hong was a little surprised, “Aren’t you trying to make me happy and deliberately fooling me” Xiao Zheng said: “When have I ever lied to you Chen Hong, I might not be ambitious enough, but I haven't lied to you in the past, and I won't lie to you in the future.” 。"Chen Hong was still a bit suspicious: “Why is it you Not Cai Shao Hua”

Cai Shao Hua had called her yesterday, swearing up and down that he would promote her. " 。Chen Hong also believed that Cai Shaohua, as the director of the party and government office, had an excellent relationship with the secretary of the town Party Committee, so she naturally thought that Cai Shaohua would be recommended >>> 。To her surprise, the result turned out to be Xiao Zheng! 。Xiao Zheng explained: "This recommendation has one requirement for education, it must be 'Bachelor's degree or higher, and graduated from a 985 university'. The only one in our town who meets the requirements is me." 。"Chen Hong was even more puzzled: 'Is that really the case Then how did the inspection go' Chen Hong couldn't help but care about Xiao Zheng's inspection progress." 。As far as she knew, the townspeople didn't take to him. 。Xiao Zheng said, "It went pretty well. The Minister Shao from the Organization Department was quite polite to me, and many people in our town seem to have a better attitude towards me." 。Xiao Zheng and Chen Hong used to talk about anything and everything, but recently Chen Hong has become distant towards him. They have fewer opportunities to talk about anything and everything. 。Today, Xiao Zheng seems to have found that feeling again. 。Chen Hong said: "It's good to go smoothly." 。This is good news, I'll tell my parents too. They might be happy as well and their attitude towards you could change for the better. 。Chen Hong has been with Xiao Zheng for 9 years after all, no matter what, this relationship still has ties. As long as her parents agree, she will still be with Xiao Zheng. 。Xiao Zheng said: “That’s a good idea, let Uncle and Auntie know too.” 。Xiao Zheng thought that after Chen Hong went to tell her parents, she would call or text him again. 。He didn't wait until night, and he didn't know what reaction Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin had after Chen Hong told them. 。The next morning, Chen Hong still didn't give Xiao Zheng any response. During lunch break, Xiao Zheng called Chen Hong again. 。Chen Hong picked up the phone quickly, her voice seeming a little less intense than last night: "Xiao Zheng, what's up"

Xiao Zheng hurried to ask, "Did you tell my uncle and aunt about my message last night" "Yeah," Chen Hong said casually, "I told them." 。"Xiao Zheng asked, “What did they say”

Chen Hong said, “At first my father was quite happy when he heard the news, but then he went to ask people he knew in the Organization Department..." 。The Organization Department said that this time's candidates for assessment, not everyone will be used, probably no more than 60% can be used. The rest, the recommendation votes are not high and the assessment results are not good, still will not be used. 。“

60% Only 60%! Xiao Zheng's heart skipped a beat.” 。

Chen Hong continued, "My dad said that the Organization Department said that most of the cadres who graduated from 985 universities in this inspection were at the middle-level positions in towns and departments, or at least at the deputy middle-level positions. Someone like you, a general cadre, is really 'rare,' so they said your chances are slim, and it's very likely that you'll just be there for the ride. 。"Escort When he heard this, Xiao Zheng almost fainted." 。I had high hopes at first, but I didn't expect to just be a companion in the end. Xiao Zheng was also a little discouraged, he said: "I don't know what the situation is" 。"You, in the past, were too unkind and offended Song Shujì." 。not ambitious and too honest 。It took seven years to become an average cadre. 。Now the opportunity is right in front of us, yet we can only watch it slip away. 。Xiao Zheng liked Chen Hong, but he didn't like the way she criticized him. He couldn't help but retort: "Since you've investigated, there might still be hope! You shouldn't be so pessimistic and think that with only 60%, you have no chance at all! I don't see it that way either." 。"Well, if you feel hopeful, then by all means, feel hopeful." 。Chen Hong also didn't want to argue with Xiao Zheng, "I have to go to class." 。After saying that, he hung up the phone. 。Despite Xiao Zheng telling Chen Hong on the phone that he also had hope, 。He really had to think about it, and even he thought the possibility was pathetically small. 。60%, and everyone else are middle-level or above. As just an ordinary cadre like himself, how could it possibly be his turn

Xiao Zheng felt that if he stayed in the office, he would only overthink things, so he went to Deputy Mayor Jin Hui's place again. 。Golden Hui saw him and readily said, “Let’s go to the village below.” 。"Xiao Zheng felt a bit strange. Usually, he had to urge Deputy Town Chief Jin Hui to go down to the village himself. He hadn't seen him so proactive in a long time." 。led Jian Xiaoxia to his side, and handed her to Jian Xiushui beside him. 。Xiao Zheng's speed was astonishingly fast and methodical, leaving onlookers in awe. 。This is related to Xiao Zheng's previous...
