Chapter 102 - The Government Circle

In the past, the Old City Council's government office had been separated by more than a thousand meters, and each organ was a different building. It was fine if she could communicate with each other by phone or by running back and forth. Now that the Cloud City had built a dignified Government building, the four teams and the corresponding service departments all worked in the same building. They were all from the top and bottom of the building.

In order to satisfy the two big bosses of the Party and government, the city council office and the city government office had to satisfy the other bosses at all levels. They knew that even though the Party committee was a bit higher in content than the government, on the surface, they were all the same, so the whole building didn't belong to the government from several floors to several floors, but to the Party committee from several floors to several floors. After meticulous research, they finally split the entire building into two parts, with the staircase (elevator) as the central line. Because the Government building had a southern side and a southern side, the east was the city committee and the west was the government. Originally, the two leaders were sitting on the sixteenth floor, but for some reason, after Lin Maoren accepted the position as the Party Secretary, he refused to sit in the previous office and instead took a fancy to the same seat on the seventeenth floor. For this reason, he had no choice but to change out the Party Committee Deputy Secretary-General on the seventeenth floor, and renovated the seventeenth floor to sit in it himself.

In these few days, whenever Ma Huimin had free time, he would rush to the 16th floor to look for Gao Mingliang. She basically looked down upon Zheng Yanhong who was sitting on the 15th floor, it was fine if it was others, but Gao Mingliang's secretary, Wu Kejian, was a good friend of Zheng Yanhong, he would not be satisfied until he saw him!

Since Comrade Zheng Yanhong has also sat in the Government building, we need to briefly introduce the leadership and supporting organizations of the city council.

As we all know, the Municipal Committee has an office, the municipal government has an office, the two offices are like a combination of butler and servant, the leader is naturally the Secretary-General or the chief of the office.

There were high configuration, low configuration, and high quality cities such as the capital city. Party Secretary was the deputy provincial capital, so naturally, the subordinate organizations would be raised by half a square meter, and the office would be the secretary-general of the official department. Since Cloud City was an industrial city that was established only after the founding of the country, its configuration was low. After that, it was given to the local level city.

Although the specifications were low, the content of the service was high because city leaders were not allowed to have full-time private secretaries. Private secretaries, in other words, were the personal servants who managed the food, drink, and everything else for their bosses. They only had a few services, namely, the offices under the office, which dealt with the daily problems of writing, communication, transportation, etc.

But now, not to mention the city leaders, even the county magistrate, who was slightly more idle, had started to use their full-time secretaries, let alone the city leaders. So right now, Gao Mingliang had a secretary as his spokesperson, and Wu Kejian's "Number Two" was the one in the office of the Municipal Committee, which also meant that Chen Siyuan, the director of the Political and Research Unit was also his "Number Two".

Wu Kejian had followed Gao Mingliang for almost three years already, and other than being Gao Mingliang's personal secretary, he was also the director of the comprehensive room, he was also at the same level as Chen Siyuan. In terms of position, the comprehensive room was even more important than the political and research department, but for some reason, the moment Chen Si Yuan had followed Lin Maoren, he had already dealt with the main office, and he was actually at the secondary level as well. So even though he was full of grievances, he still seemed very open-minded and never brought it up in front of Gao Mingliang.

It was not just the two big bosses who had their own secretaries, which one of the Deputy Officers s was not brought up from below? He had already gotten used to having a full-time assistant down below. How could he bear the fact that no one was willing to listen to him? As a result, the Deputy Officers had all changed their names and had a dedicated secretary. When Zheng Yanhong became the Deputy mayor, for example, the people from the government knew that Zheng Yanhong's roots were extremely strong, so they decided to be her secretary in hopes of getting one. In the end, Liu Mingjun, the director of the government office, secretly took in Liao Yuanfang's "meaning", and assigned him to Zheng Yanhong.

Zheng Yanhong was originally a proud and unruly person, she had always trusted in being the main official, so she had nothing to say to others. Therefore, she had been indifferent to who the position of secretary was from the start.

Wu Kejian was actually very good at being a secretary. He knew that although his level wasn't high, this position was better than nothing! It wasn't that they were willing to be alone, but that they had to be alone after gaining a high position. Otherwise, everyone would want to get closer to them in order to gain their recognition and promotion. This way, they would waste a large amount of time and energy on this meaningless social interaction. Thus, their time was not really their own, but rather that of the Secretary General of the "Two Offices" and the Director had arranged their daily activities according to their work a week ago. After they had agreed to do so, unless there were special events, they would generally be strictly enforced.

Nowadays, the commoners all liked to myths or follies about their leaders. Myths were simply overestimating their abilities and shocking them into the heavens. Stupid, yet completely different, they were all idiots. There was no doubt that no matter if one was from the heavens to the earth, these two beliefs were all blind and one-sided. However, there was one thing that was clear — the distance between the commoners and their leaders was really too far!

In other words, what the leader said could be seen in the media and documents, but what the leader said could not be heard! What the leaders heard was only heard by those around him after careful selection, filtering, sublimation, and even refinement!

Leaders were also people, they were not gods. They could not observe every direction and every direction, much less see every detail of the public's salary. These were the words they heard from these people every day, so they naturally thought that those words were true. Even if one of the leaders were to ask him about himself or herself in a whimsical manner, how advanced was the communication method now? It was impossible for a major leader of a city to act alone without being discovered by his subordinates. Therefore, their so-called privacy was nothing more than a relative secret that their subordinates kept secret for them. Absolute privacy was definitely a luxury for their leaders. It was something that could and couldn't be sought for.

In this kind of situation, the people who were closest to the leaders would naturally become the hottest people. If they were smart, they would have more power than the Deputy mayor, because the people below wanted to use their mouths to pass on the message to the leaders. If the leaders below wanted to find out where their leaders were, or if anyone wanted to meet them temporarily, they would have to go through a personal secret.

It was precisely because of this that in the short period of over two years that he had followed Gao Mingliang, Wu Kejian had carefully selected a few main heads in the city that he viewed as extremely talented, such as Treasurer Peng Huiping and Zheng Yanhong, who was then the head of the Education Committee, and so on. After their interaction, he patiently waited for them to appreciate up.

Since we're friends, we naturally have to use our advantages to help our friends seek benefits. Otherwise, why would they try to get close to you, a small follower? Wu Kejian, on the other hand, knew his limits. He could not only call them brothers, but he could also act as he pleased.

As already mentioned, the leaders' privacy is relative, so their relative is that of the secretary and the driver, and there is no privacy. Wu Kejian was like this, while Chen Siyuan was even more so. They held the leader's absolute privacy, although they could compare the leader's absolute privacy to Wu Kejian at any time, but everyone knew that this kind of background would definitely bring them a calamity.

Not only did he manage to establish a good relationship with the heads of subordinate units, the most unbelievable thing was that Wu Kejian was able to break the deadlock between the Party and Government Secretaries. On the surface, he was not far from Lin Maoren's secretary, Chen Siyuan. Actually, the two of them had a deep personal relationship, and it was because of this, that the two of them were able to communicate with each other in time.

Wu Kejian knows very well that Gao Mingliang is very meticulous, and his competition with Lin Maoren is in the shadows as well. If he were to communicate with Chen Si Yuan everything, Gao Mingliang would discover him in less than three days! The person who officials dreaded the most was their opponent's' spy ', and after Wu Kejian was discovered, his political life had probably come to an end. Thus, the only things the two of them could communicate with were the things that they thought would not lead to any sort of crisis. For example, Ma Huimin was once Lin Maoren's mistress.

Like now, he saw that Ma Huimin, who had taken over as the head of Zheng Yanhong's Education Committee, was now putting on a front that completely ignored Zheng Yanhong, and directly pasted herself onto Gao Mingliang, which made him, who not only understood Zheng Yanhong's political position, but also her private life, very angry! She even had the feeling that his own sister had been bullied by Little Three, so when Ma Huimin once passed by him to meet the Mayor Gao, he actually rejected her with a face that was full of uneasiness for the first time.

But this woman was also very unusual. She actually still came to the 16th floor to wait after he said that the Mayor Gao was not in his office.

The next time she came here, she would sneakily give Wu Kejian a shopping card when they were shaking hands. When she saw that he was actually worth five thousand gold, she thought to herself that this woman was really generous, such a thing was a pity but it was meaningless for Wu Kejian, since he could not stop this shameless woman. Seeing that Mayor Gao was not annoying her, if he tried to stop her, the boss might be unhappy, so he might as well accept it. Since he took's hands off short, next time Ma Huimin would come over, he would not dare to not hang a smile on his face.

He thought about it for a long time and still felt that if this went on, maybe Zheng Yanhong would be extremely passive. This was because he had already received Gao Mingliang's instructions to inform the other members of the Hope Project Leading Group that they would authorize the tendering of the builders to the Education Committee. Of course, Gao Mingliang had an honorable reason, it was because the construction was too tight, and the city was extremely busy at the end of the year.

Wu Kejian finally felt that at this rate, the area of education that Zheng Yanhong was in charge of would be completely emptied. He understood even more clearly what it meant for a leader to have the authority to take on an entire project. Not every leader liked to make money from it. In fact, even if they didn't take any money, after giving away such a huge favor, how could the relationship they gained be measured by money? Forget about all these, since it was just some external things, maybe someone like Zheng Yanhong, who came from a family, would not care about it, but this time, she was clearly the Leading Group's most senior vice-leader, excluding Gao Mingliang, but she did not even have the authority to bid for the project. Maybe the sharp-tongued, sharp-eyed, sharp-eyed people at the lower levels would all see the situation and feel that Zheng Yanhong had lost her power, so if she wanted to give an order next time, she would not be so good!

Authority was the main bargaining chip of being a politician! Without this bargaining chip, they would lose all meaning, let alone the government!

Wu Kejian chose a perfect time to do so. Just as Gao Mingliang asked him to prepare the materials for the project and prepared to convene the Leading Group and the meeting of the members in the office in a few days, he made an appointment with Zheng Yanhong. The three of them went to a restaurant together in the middle of the night and shared his worries.

Zheng Yanhong had actually long heard about Ma Huimin sticking to Gao Mingliang, but she was afraid that she understood the reason why Gao Mingliang was willing to not reject him. This was naturally for the sake of stimulating her after Gao Mingliang had been cut off their relationship!

How to deal with it was actually very simple, so simple that she didn't need to rack her brains to plan the strategy, as long as she threw herself back into his embrace to sleep with him, then act like a spoiled child and wail about how much she regretted and ached after she left him, how much she didn't want to give up, how much of her feelings would melt away all of his jealousy and hatred, turning into a little stream flowing in the spring.

However, she had now completely understood. She had thought that if her husband was unhappy, she would be able to steal from him and enjoy the same pleasure in the process. She would also be able to use his influence to make a political shortcut that no one else could cross. But no matter what, it didn't matter if it was Gao Mingliang, or Lin Maoren, he actually held a kind of exclusive mentality that shocked her, and it was beyond her expectations!

This was not fun!

She, Zheng Yanhong, who was young and beautiful, born in a big family and had a working ability and wisdom that exceeded ordinary people, why would she be willing to lower herself to be a forbidden leader? As for them saying that they loved her, that was even more ridiculous nonsense!

What is love? In Zheng Yanhong's eyes, love was a form of recognition. If you told yourself that you loved him, then you loved him. You tell yourself you hate him and you don't love him. Sometimes you think you don't need love anymore. In fact, you're just used to being alone. Sometimes you think you love him a lot, but in fact it's just that you're used to him around you. After all, love and not love are just habits.

Before, she had never thought that there was no love between her and Fan Qianjin. That kind of childhood companion made her accustomed to Fan Qianjin's company, and even treated it as a love, so she naturally married him. However, as her life went on and on, Fan Qianjin made her feel more and more disappointed. Because of this kind of disappointment, she also felt that she had been deceived.

With this feeling, she felt that her emotions were empty. Fan Qianjin's inaction towards her made her body's demands even emptier.

Furthermore, had become more and more loyal to her, mistaking this as love. Fortunately, she quickly realised that this kind of love and love were two different things, and because of the satisfaction of her body, the love she felt was completely unreliable, causing her to still maintain the emptiness of her emotions.

Afterwards, Gao Mingliang went from being forced to asking for love, making her tell himself that she loved him when he was suddenly doted on. However, after spending a short period of time in it, she regretfully discovered that this kind of relationship was not love at all, but a kind of vanity, fulfillment, and emotional hunger. It was simply like a bowl of instant noodles on a train, delicious when soaked in a bowl of hot, fragrant liquid, but enough to make you eat it three times in a row to ensure that you didn't even want to smell it. So, not to mention having her lower her head to have fun with him, he wouldn't even bother lowering her head if she had to ask him for the project.

Furthermore, speaking of the Lin Maoren that gave her the most headache, this person had a different opinion of her than Gao Mingliang, who only possessed a satisfied vanity that was already satisfied, but what exactly was the difference? Zheng Yanhong felt that he couldn't explain it clearly, but in short, she had a kind of vague fear of this man that didn't follow common sense, he felt that his so-called love was overbearing and terrifying, like Qiantang River, that had the attraction of making people take risks to see it, but also had the fatal danger of completely burying her away!

As a result, she returned to her tranquil self like a helmsman who had experienced a thousand sails. Instead, she started to miss the ordinary, yet ordinary, life she had with Fan Qianjin. The harsh request she had for love made her detour in a lot of ways. Although the word 'regret' did not exist in her dictionary, it was still impossible for her to experience a lot of these things!

Facing Wu Kejian's kind reminder, it was not thathee was not angry, it was more so that he did not care, because she was originally an extremely strong person who cared deeply about his own worth. Whether it was an invasion of Gao Mingliang's feelings or her contempt for the authority of the Deputy mayor, she could not tolerate Ma Huimin's actions.

However, she understood that Gao Mingliang would not be easily tricked by Ma Huimin, who was a trash of a woman. His indulgence of Ma Huimin, was equivalent to giving her pressure, forcing her to lower her head to him due to the circumstances. To put it bluntly, this absurd act of "surpassing levels" was not so much a challenge to her as a contest of emotions between Gao Mingliang and her.

Therefore, she did not intend to remain silent this entire time. If she continued to grow weak, she would accumulate her strength from the start and prepare to strike Ma Huimin in the head. She would let this woman, who was always so arrogant, know that she was inferior to him.

However, she knew that she had to be "steady", "accurate", and "ruthless" when she made her move. If she didn't make a move, then that was fine; if she made a move, she would win! Other than wanting to completely subdue Ma Huimin, she also wanted him to prevent him from being that woman's shield. He could only watch as that stupid woman sank into the sand in front of him!

She, Zheng Yanhong, had always been ruthless towards political opponents. Since she was young, she had listened to her father talk about military strategies and knew that being merciful to the enemy meant being irresponsible. Right now, she had just taken over the position of Deputy mayor, so she had not established absolute authority over the operations of her subordinates. If she were to give her subordinates a weak and bullying impression at this critical juncture, then it would be even more difficult to carry out the following tasks.

She looked at Wu Kejian who was looking at her with concern, and then thought about the secretary in her class, Liao Yuanfang. She didn't know if that person was smart or confused, and always liked to make other government personnel look good in front of her, but they couldn't provide her with anything valuable, and even had things to do, so he just went into's office. When he was young, he couldn't come out at all.

"Sigh!" Brother Cecil, if only I had someone by my side as reliable as you! Look, you noticed something so big for me. Other than being able to tell me that, the secretary of the great scholar, has raised a fourth son, and that the secretary has added a grandson, what else can he do for me? "Now that I'm really alone in the city, if you didn't remind me of what happened today, I would still be in the dark!" Zheng Yanhong really knew how to express her gratitude. Once he said these few words with a sigh, Wu Kejian's face filled with comfort.

Peng Huiping was extremely stubborn, so he said casually: "Hey! I say, my little sister from Mayor, you are really silly. Yet you carelessly asked Liu Mingjun to find a useless person for you to follow every day? Who didn't know that Liao Yuanfang was a person who was missing a door in his mouth? If it wasn't for the fact that he was untouchable, with his qualifications, he would have been promoted a long time ago! If there is no suitable candidate for the government office, you can also pick one of the people you trust below to come here and use it as a loan. If it is convenient for you to transfer someone to the government office, I think the pars histalis will give you some face. "

Hearing that, Zheng Yanhong's eyes lit up, she really did not expect that she would be able to find a helper to come here! It was not that she didn't know that she had the right, but she didn't think of doing it at all. When Peng Huiping reminded her at this moment, she really felt that without someone close to her, it would be hard to move around without a leg.

"Yi, it's really true. I'll think about how to make Xiao Liao retreat later and choose one that I can use myself. "Come, come, let's not talk about these depressing things anymore. It's rare for us to get together, let me toast to my brothers." Zheng Yanhong quickly raised his wine cup and said.

She was not stupid. Although she had already been moved by this suggestion, she knew that she had to take it step by step and not attract the attention of the people inside the building. Especially this Liao Yuanfang, who was personally made for her by Liu Mingjun. Her position in the government wasn't stable yet, and she definitely could not offend Liu Mingjun, the general director. Although Director of Government was a big errand boy, he served the entire team, so he had a lot of influence in the team. If he offended Director of Government in order to change his secretary, it would not be worth it.

But since that day, Zheng Yanhong had planned secretly. She wanted to think of a foolproof plan that could first strike at Ma Huimin, and secondly, make sure that Gao Mingliang was unstoppable. She would need to find the appropriate time to kick Liao Yuanfang out and clean all the hidden danger around her.

When she received Zhao Shensan's call today, she was annoyed that he was talking about the project again and wanted to reject him, but all of a sudden, she felt as if a bolt of lightning flashed through her mind, causing her to feel at ease, and she laughed heartily: "Hehe, third, I really haven't talked to you for a really long time, since you have something to say, then fine, let's go eat Huai Yang Vegetables tonight. Although it's a little light, it's still good to have more oily food to change tastes."

Upon hearing that she agreed, Zhao Shensan happily agreed over and over again. The two of them agreed to it, and then hung up at the appointed time, but beyond his happiness, Zhao Shensan lost his cool, because he understood Zheng Yanhong's clear-cut temper too well, so why did she say a few more words just now? Eat when you eat, why say oily eat too much to change the taste?

Could it be …
