On the morning of the first day of the new year, Gu Xiaomei, Cheng Yudong and others accompanied Zhang Zhixing to inspect the Chengnan Industrial Park. They also expressed condolences to several laid-off workers and widowed families. Until noon, Zhang Zhixing was sent back to the municipal Party committee compound. They thought that since they had come, they would go in with Cheng Yudong and pay New Year's greetings to Liang Gezhen and Zhang Ke. It's no wonder there were many people.

It was not until the front of the building that I got out of the car with Zhang Zhixing and walked in. Before I went up the steps, I heard Yuanlang's laughter: "it's good to build a film and television base, which can make more full use of the landscape resources of Xinwu and increase the construction of scenic spots. After the film and television base is completed, there will be a star effect, and people all over the country are more willing to travel to Xinwu..."

Liu Jue's voice whispered: "the film market is not prosperous enough. I haven't heard of more than 100 million films invested in China. Now a film investment needs a budget of 300 or 400 million. Can I be sure to recover the investment?"

Vice Mayor Qin Shuanghua's voice was louder: "century Huayin has just signed song Wanpei. Is it just to prepare for the investment of this film? Don't look at me strangely. My daughter is a fan of song Wanpei."

Gu Xiaomei wondered: Zhang Zhixing didn't come back. Why did Jiang Shangyuan, Liu Jue and Qin Shuanghua come to the door? Who are they talking to? Following Zhang Zhi, he walked in and watched three smokers, Jiang Shangyuan, Liu Jue and Qin Shuanghua, puff in the downstairs living room. Zhang Ke was holding a cigarette and was about to light it for himself. Liang Gezhen grabbed the cigarette and forbid him to smoke. No one else was present.

Watching them come in, everyone inside stopped the topic just now and stood up.

"Director Jiang, secretary Liu and mayor Qin are all here, so I'll try my best to pay New Year's greetings to the three..." Gu Xiaomei thought she didn't hear their discussion just now. She knew that they were going to have dinner here and smell the aroma from the restaurant. She and Cheng Yudong paid tribute to Liang Gezhen and Zhang Ke for the new year and was ready to leave. She was waiting for them to go back for lunch at home.

"Director Gu, please stay and have lunch together," Zhang Ke said suddenly. "Secretary Cheng, please take aunt Wei back to Xinzha community on the way," he turned back and shouted in the direction of the kitchen, "aunt Wei, there's not much left. I'll just do it with my mother..."

Gu Xiaomei was slightly stunned. She was not qualified to stay for dinner on this occasion, especially at noon on the first day of the new year. If Qin Shuanghua had not been Zhang Zhixing's most determined adherents and confidants in Xinwu, she would not be qualified to stay for dinner. However, Zhang Ke's tone was not polite. He only asked her to stay, but asked Cheng Yudong to go back to dinner and took aunt Wei back on the way.

Just really want to stay for dinner, it seems that it is more appropriate for Zhang Zhixing to ask to stay. She has just entered the door with Zhang Zhixing, and she doesn't know if she wants to come to Zhang Zhixing.

Gu Xiaomei hesitated and looked at Zhang Zhixing and Liu Jue. She was at a loss.

"Then stay for dinner..." said Liu Jue.

Liu Jue, Secretary of the municipal Party committee, said so, and Gu Xiaomei naturally stopped refusing.

Cheng Yudong was full of doubts, but it was always a good thing for Gu Xiaomei to stay and have dinner with the big three at noon on New Year's day. He was still sour. He first drove aunt Wei back to Xinzha community with the driver, and thought that Gu Xiaomei might not have time to tell her to stay at Mayor Zhang's house for dinner, He ran to Gu Xiaomei's house again and wanted to talk to her family.

Cheng Yudong knocked on the door and looked at Gu Xiaomei's house full of people.

Gu Xiaomei's little daughter shouted excitedly, "mom is finally back. I hope I can't see her only on TV in the future?" when she opened the door, she saw Cheng Yudong and said in surprise, "Uncle Cheng is coming to our house as a guest. Where's my mother?" Yu Jing looked out and didn't see her mother.

"Secretary General Gu is having dinner at Mayor Zhang's house. Director Jiang and secretary Liu are there. I asked Secretary General Gu to stay. I will send aunt Wei back and say..." Cheng Yudong said. He took out two red envelopes from his pocket and stuffed them into Yu Jing's hand. "This is for you and your brother." watching the beautiful girl who showed her face with Gu Xiaomei and Yu Jing on TV yesterday sitting on the table, Asked Yu Jing, "Yu Jing, who is this?"

"My mother's daughter, why, does she also have a red envelope?" Yu Jing asked. "My mother doesn't allow us to receive new year's red envelopes, or we'll leave the red envelopes and return the money to you?"

"Uncle Cheng's red envelope is different from others. Don't listen to your mother, but don't think uncle Cheng's red envelope is too fat." Cheng Yudong took out another red envelope and handed it to Yu Jing. He smiled and said hello to Yu Wei, "then I'll go first and don't bother you to eat..."

On the first day of the new year, Yu Wei usually didn't leave others for dinner. Yu Wei didn't say any polite words. He sent Cheng Yudong away. He came back and sighed and said, "Alas, we can't come back for dinner at noon on the first day of the new year. We don't say in advance that we have to wait for her for so long..." looking at Yu Jing's red envelope, the amount of money sealed inside is the usual lucky money for the younger generation, I didn't say much.

"Why are you sighing," Chen Yu said with a smile. "How many officials in Xinwu are looking forward to the opportunity to have dinner with the big three on the first day of the new year. Isn't it your Gu Xiaomei going to prosper again?"

"Can there be such a good thing?" Yu Wei asked with a smile. Both of them have no old people. They get together for dinner on the first day of the new year. Unexpectedly, his wife Gu Xiaomei can't go home for dinner because of the delay in work. Yu Wei was more or less angry. He thought that the leader was somewhat unreasonable and could eat with the leader at any time. How can he keep people on the first day of the new year? It's better for Yu Wei to interrupt Chen Yu. She doesn't pay attention to the leaders, and it's impossible for her to stay for dinner on the first day of the lunar new year. "Gu Xiaomei has been smooth enough in the past two years. If she wants to prosper, she won't expect any more..."

Gu Xiaomei's career was the most successful when she was young and became the party secretary of Xinyu Town, Shangjin county. At that time, she was only in her early thirties, and there were not many female cadres in the city. It can be said that it was the most popular time. Later, when he was hit, he was first transferred to the Municipal Women's Federation and then to the Municipal Youth League Committee. Although he was transferred to the deputy department level, he was always an ordinary cadre. But in the past two years, it suddenly went well again. First, he transferred Liu Jue to the municipal government as the deputy director of the municipal government office. Liu Jue didn't transfer her to the municipal Party committee after she became the mayor's secretary. She thought she would be hated by the new mayor Zhang Zhixing and be sent to the harem again until she retired. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhixing also had great trust and respect for her. The former director of the government office was transferred to Jiangdong County as the county head, so she was recommended as the director of the government office and also the deputy secretary general, Suddenly became a hot figure in Xinwu.

There are gains and losses. After Gu Xiaomei's busy work, she can't care about her family. Fortunately, her youngest daughter Yu Jing is in grade one of junior high school. Although her grades are not as good as her brother, she is also obedient. Yu Wei's work is not hard and has nothing to complain about.

They were busy eating dumplings and hot pot. Halfway through the meal, they didn't think Gu Xiaomei would come back.

"Dinner with the leader is over so soon?" Chen Yu asked strangely.

"It's just a meal. There's no other work to do," Gu Xiaomei sighed. "Alas, fortunately it's over. It's like a nightmare." she pulled a chair and sat down and told her daughter Yu Jing, "bring me a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and I can eat more..." she didn't know why Zhang Ke asked her to stay for lunch. During lunch, everyone refused to talk about work, There are few topics. No one talked about the migrant workers' couple getting off the bus yesterday. She took the initiative to mention it, but no one agreed. The atmosphere is a little strange. Gu Xiaomei knows that they have some topics. They want to deliberately avoid her, but she stays for dinner. Where can she eat at ease? After a hurried meal, he left. Back to Xinzha community, talents relax and find that they are not full at all.

Zhang Ke's attitude is very strange. He was surprisingly cold to her yesterday when she led Yu Wei and Yu Zhu to the door to pay New Year's greetings. It can even be said that he was indifferent. Today, he mysteriously asked to stay with him for lunch

Gu Xiaomei took two dumplings from the hot pot and ate them with a hot breath.

"The big three in Xinwu left you for dinner. I thought you were going to hum a little song and walk back," Chen Yu asked with a smile. "How can I see you sigh?"

Gu Xiaomei sighed and said: "After the inspection in the morning, I sent Mayor Zhang back and wanted to pay a new year's visit. Unexpectedly, Mayor Zhang's son Zhang Ke asked me to stay for dinner. Then Secretary Liu said something, I couldn't refuse. I didn't have the opportunity to call. Secretary Cheng came to tell you just now? It's strange that he didn't ask Secretary Cheng to stay for lunch and let Secretary Cheng deliver the guard My aunt came back for lunch. "

"I'm not an ungrateful person," Chen Yu said. "But I'll leave you for dinner?"

"Yes," Yu Wei nodded. Seeing that it was the mayor's Yamen who left people to eat, he was inevitably disappointed. He thought that Liu Jue's next words were only human, perhaps for fear of embarrassment of his wife's presence. "It's really strange. He still had that attitude yesterday?"

"..." Chen Yu joked, "maybe the boy's attitude changed after he saw your daughter on TV last night. Didn't Yu Jing call the boy again at night?"

Yu Jing was about to get excited, but she gave her mother a heartless blow.

"This worthless child didn't say a word while holding the phone," Gu Xiaomei joked. "People want to see your Chen Ning... You didn't see several scenes given by the TV station to your Chen Ning yesterday? You should be careful. If you broadcast it to the TV station, more people will miss your Chen Ning..."

"Aren't you Chen Ning's godmother? Chen Ning will be your daughter-in-law in the future. You worry that such a good daughter-in-law will be robbed by others. Are we worried?" Chen Yu said jokingly.

"Dad, what are you talking nonsense about?" Chen ningjiao said angrily, not letting her father talk nonsense there.

Gu Xiaomei looked at Yu Zhu, who was silent, and thought that Yu Zhu didn't know whether she had the ability to take off Chen Ning's heart. However, she watched Chen Ning grow up as her own daughter and couldn't bear to hurt her a little.

"Really, when will you take me and sister Chen Ning to find Zhang Ke..." Yu Jing completely ignored her brother's gloomy look and was so excited that she asked Chen Ning to take the initiative to deliver it to the door.

"You're so unpromising?" Gu Xiaomei took her chopsticks and knocked on the back of Jing's head. "I'm kidding. You're serious? I asked around. People don't remember who your sister Chen Ning is. Mayor Zhang's family will go to Tianyun mountain for vacation in the afternoon and go back to Haizhou tomorrow. Why don't you ride your bike to Tianyun mountain to block people in the afternoon?"

"How could he not remember sister Chen Ning?" Yu Jing said angrily, "if I were a man, I would never forget seeing sister Chen Ning, let alone tying her shoes..."

"People just don't recognize me." Chen Ning smiled.

Chen Yu seriously asked Gu Xiaomei, "why did people leave you for lunch? I always feel a little strange."

"It's no use thinking too much. It's just a lunch. It won't grow a few kilograms of meat. I doubt how much meat will be lost after eating this lunch..." Gu Xiaomei said with a smile, but she also had doubts in her heart.

Sometimes it's casual and sometimes sensitive to accompany leaders to dinner. Gu Xiaomei is the Deputy Secretary General of the municipal government and director of the government office. Even if she stays at the mayor's house for lunch on the first day of the new year, there's nothing particularly reminiscent of elegance, However, at the central Spring Festival tea party on the third day of the new year, the general secretary of the Central Committee clearly put forward several opinions that local leading groups should further strengthen the training of women cadres. After the media reported, the meal became sensitive.

After the news broadcast of the central Spring Festival tea party, the city began to rumor that Gu Xiaomei would be the first female vice mayor of Xinwu.

Xinwu is a small place. We all know what's going on. Gu Xiaomei's family and Chen Yu's family still got together to eat hot pot on the sixth night of the beginning of the year. Chen Yu also joked with Gu Xiaomei: "let me tell you, that lunch is not simple..."

"What's not simple? Can the city know that the central government has a new policy two days in advance?" Gu Xiaomei disagreed. Besides, it's not the first day of the new year, it's not Zhang Zhixing who left her for lunch, it's Zhang Ke who suddenly asked to leave her.

Although there are such rumors, Gu Xiaomei believes that this is a matter of no boundary at all. It's just a coincidence. If she takes the rumors seriously, she's stupid.

The two sessions will be held soon after the Spring Festival. If there is any trouble in the central government at this time, it will soon rain cats and dogs. Just after the Spring Festival holiday, the provincial Party committee's document on strengthening the training of women leading cadres by the leading groups of municipal, district and county local governments soon went down to the city. Depending on the situation, the candidates should be decided before this year's National People's Congress session, and then submitted to the National People's Congress for election.

No matter what Gu Xiaomei thought in her heart, the rumors in the city became more and more true, and she almost sat down.

Women cadres at the department level in Xinwu are scarce, and there are only three or four suitable places. Although Gu Xiaomei has not been transferred to the department level for half a year, the promotion of domestic women cadres is not limited by the rule of "two years to Deputy posts and three years to principal posts". In addition, several other people grind to the department level in the opportunity, and their job resume is somewhat worse than Gu Xiaomei. The municipal government must be equipped with female mayors. Gu Xiaomei is not hopeless.

In this context, the meal on the first day of the new year was even more popular. Even if Gu Xiaomei's qualification is a little shallow, but the big three hold her up together. There is really no problem. In the eyes of ordinary cadres in the city, Gu Xiaomei is firmly determined to be a vice mayor.

As soon as this rumor came out, several other female cadres who were originally qualified to compete with her withdrew: Gu Xiaomei was recognized by the chairman of the National People's Congress, the Secretary of the municipal Party committee and the mayor. Unless they could let the Secretary of the provincial Party committee stand up in person, they would have the opportunity to participate in the competition. Think about the promotion of officials in Xinwu officialdom in recent years, and the investigation of their ability came first, Seniority is becoming less and less valued.

Gu Xiaomei knows why everyone's attitude towards her has changed these days, but she knows in her heart that rumors are rumors after all. On the first day of the new year, Zhang Ke obviously asked her to stay for lunch. Can Zhang Ke decide that she should not be vice mayor? Even if the Organization Department of the municipal Party committee listed her as the investigation target, she didn't think she would have any hope. In the past two years, it has been extremely smooth from ordinary cadres to the deputy director of the government office, and then to the director and deputy secretary general. The vice mayor just had extravagant hopes. She thought that since the Organization Department of the municipal Party committee included her in the scope of investigation and entered the candidate list, she was just a foil, The qualifications of several other candidates are beyond her.

That's it. Gu Xiaomei didn't think she would have any hope until the 18th day of the first month. As soon as the meeting of the Standing Committee of the municipal Party committee was over, Liu Jue went to her for a ventilation.

"In the past, when deciding on the candidates for district and county leaders, the threshold had to be leveled. This time, it's really strange. The position of vice mayor is not popular. I spent my brains thinking about many serious words, which didn't come in handy." it's also rare for Liu Jue to speak jokingly with the people below, "The Organization Department of the municipal Party committee gave you the highest score. At the Standing Committee meeting of the municipal Party committee in the afternoon, it decided to respect the opinions of the Organization Department of the municipal Party committee. You should make some preparations. The official documents will come down soon. First, let you elect alternate members of the municipal Party committee and join the Party group of the municipal government... The election of vice mayor should pass the Municipal People's Congress."

From Liu Jue's office, Gu Xiaomei felt that the whole person seemed to step on the clouds and could not touch the north. On the contrary, the organ cadres of the municipal Party committee and municipal government always took Gu Xiaomei as the only candidate for vice mayor. It was not strange that the Standing Committee of the municipal Party committee made decisions so quickly. After all, it was necessary to put the party's political power before the first meeting of this year's Municipal People's Congress The degree should be finished first, and the action should be faster naturally.

Seeing Gu Xiaomei come back from the office of Liu Jue, Secretary of the municipal Party committee, she looked a little disappointed. She was only overjoyed when she officially learned that she was the vice mayor. They all cordially greeted her, especially those vice mayors, who had called her Xiao Gu before. In the future, everyone will be colleagues. Although Gu Xiaomei's position will take some time to be transferred, it's not easy at this time Kindly call her director.

Speaking of it, only the Secretary General of the municipal government and the other two deputy secretaries general have mixed feelings. They were able to instruct Gu Xiaomei to do things a few days ago. In the twinkling of an eye, they will become one of the bosses of the municipal government. They secretly feel that they are really "ignorant girls" these days Promotion is the easiest. Even if it is understood that Gu Xiaomei is unlikely to have much real power when she becomes vice mayor, after all, she is the leader of the municipal government. Her level is different, and she is likely to be in charge of the work of the municipal government after becoming Vice Mayor.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon. Gu Xiaomei sat in the office dizzy and thought about this incredible thing in her opinion. Since Zhang Zhixing was accompanied by Cheng Yudong to the city, she got off work in normal time and took the car of vice minister Xiao of the Municipal Publicity Department home. She also took the car of vice minister Xiao before. Everyone was very familiar with it and got off at the door of the community, This time when she saw the car at the door of the community, she habitually wanted to get off. Vice minister Xiao told the driver: "turn in and go downstairs to unit 2 of 32 buildings in front..."

Gu Xiaomei didn't have to adapt to her new role. She said goodbye to Vice Minister Xiao. When she climbed the stairs, she was still thinking about it. It was really the Chinese meal at Zhang Zhixing's house on the first day of the new year that played a key role.

I don't know who spread the news at that time, but no one came forward to refute the rumor, which virtually helped her exclude other competitors.

Since everyone believed that she was the candidate chosen by Jiang Shangyuan, Liu Jue and Zhang Zhixing, the investigation of the Organization Department of the municipal Party committee was just a formal procedure; Can the Organization Department of the municipal Party committee decide to exclude those who are attracted to Jiang Shangyuan, Liu Jue and Zhang Zhixing at the same time?

What makes Gu Xiaomei puzzled is that Zhang Ke asked her to stay for dinner at that time. Jiang Shangyuan, Liu Jue and Zhang Zhi didn't know before they acted. Another thing is that the central government made it clear that the new policy on the appointment of women cadres in local government leadership was officially announced on the third day of the new year

If the guess is correct, this shows at least two points: Zhang Ke has the ability to know the important decisions of the Central Committee in advance, and Zhang Ke also has enough influence on Jiang Shangyuan and Liu Jue.

On the third day of the new year, the Central Committee officially announced the new policy on the appointment of women leaders of local governments at the Spring Festival tea party. Rumors in the city about her becoming Vice Mayor grew up. Jiang Shangyuan, Liu Jue and Zhang Zhixing should also be aware of it. Even if the Organization Department of the municipal Party committee doesn't ask openly, it can't be completely led by rumors. The only possibility is that Jiang Shangyuan, Liu Jue and Zhang Zhixing, both publicly and privately, unanimously adopt a ignore and tacit attitude. Doesn't it mean that Zhang Ke left himself for lunch at noon on the first day of the new year, and the three of them tacitly accepted this choice?

But Gu Xiaomei couldn't see some problems clearly when she was in the Bureau. When the mystery was revealed, she suddenly realized that Zhang Ke wanted her to be the vice mayor?

Why? Gu Xiaomei subconsciously took out her mobile phone and asked Zhang Ke why. She just learned Zhang Ke's contact number from Liang Gezhen the other day. As soon as she dialed the phone, she heard someone talking behind her:

"Hehe, vice mayor Gu was stunned at the entrance of the stairs!"

Gu Xiaomei turned back and looked at her husband Yu Wei and Chen Yu coming up from behind. Both of them were carrying a full bag of dishes. Only then did they know that they also knew they were going to be vice mayor. Chen Yu grinned and talked again. She cut off the phone, patted her forehead and said, "if I'm tired of climbing the stairs, I'm not allowed to rest here for a while?"
