Guo Lan sent Hou Weidong to the door of her house. Their families were originally neighbors across the walls, and standing at the door was equivalent to sending Hou Weidong to the door of her house. She told Hou Weidong who was opening the door: "I am not at ease in my father's situation. If I had known this, I would not have gone to Shazhou."

"Don't think like this. No one expected this. Besides, Professor Guo will retire soon and he can take the two elders to Shazhou in the future." Hou Weidong smiled and said, "The Organization Department of Shazhou is a key department. Many people are trying to get in. Don't think about coming back."

"The fundraising housing of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department has just been divided, and I can't buy a cheap house in the short term. Now the housing prices in Shazhou urban area are rising rapidly, and the location is slightly better than a thousand. The Organization Department sounds nice and the treatment is very average. I only have a few hundred yuan in salary every month. It will be a few years later to buy a house. Now I can only live in a single dormitory."

Mrs. Guo was sweeping the floor in the living room. When she heard the two of them talking, she interrupted: "I want to buy a house in Shazhou. Even if I don't live with Lanlan, it will be more convenient to get in and out of the study." She pointed to the direction of the study, "Lanlan's father is used to living in the college, and he is reluctant to leave the lake and library of the college, and he is unwilling to go to Shazhou."

Master Guo walked at the door with a broom and said, "Don't look at Lan Lan's father as a professor. He is older than me and he doesn't want to live in his son-in-law's house." She has a good impression of Hou Weidong and often sighs that good boys have become other people's son-in-law.

Speaking of this, Guo Lan blushed and said, "Mom, what are you talking nonsense."

Guo Lan's marriage has always been a heart-wrenching problem with Mrs. Guo. She told Hou Weidong again: "I only have one daughter. When I get old, I must live with Lanlan. I am still planning to buy a house in Shazhou. I heard that your lover is working in the Construction Committee. Can you help me find out the right house?"

Hou Weidong said: "This is no problem, the Crescent Tower is good." Mrs. Guo said: "Lan Lan's father is making the decision all his life, and I have to make the decision."

Mrs. Guo’s wife talked about Xingzhenggao, but was taken home by Guo Lan.

When he returned to his home, Hou Weidong sat in the living room and watched the TV. After a while, a familiar piano music came from next door. He muted the volume of the TV. He leaned on the sofa and savored the song he hadn't heard for a long time.

Due to Hou Yonggui's relationship, Hou Weidong saw the most police uncle at home when he was a child. Since he moved to the Professor Building of Shazhou College, he has developed a strong interest in the Books and Fragrance House. Although Guo and Hou's families have been neighbors for two years, they have not had direct contact. At most, they just say hello on the stairs. For dinner today, Hou Weidong can be regarded as the first time he has entered this Books and Fragrance House.

"In the future, if you have a child, you must let him grow up in the fragrance of books, and this kind of life is also a state of mind." This is Hou Weidong's first thought.

"Shuxiang brothers also live in the secular world and must have economic support. Otherwise, the quality of the spring flowers will affect the quality of the spring flowers. For example, Guo Lan is worried about the house now. If she has money, her choices will increase a lot. She can buy a house in Shazhou, take Professor Guo to Shazhou, or buy a car, so that she can freely travel between Shazhou and Yiyang without having to be affected by the region."

To obtain a high-quality life with high taste and high quality, it must be supported by economy. This is Hou Weidong's second impression.

"Thank you for going to Qinglin Stone. I dug up my first pot of gold in my life. With this pot of gold, there will be a way out for life in the officialdom and a dignity." Hou Weidong was deeply grateful for his generous gifts from the bottom of his heart.

As usual, the piano music ended at 10 o'clock. Hou Weidong stood on the balcony. The lake lights were shaking. There was still a faint piano sound from the music department in the distance. This was Hou Weidong's favorite scenery. Every time he went to the balcony to look at the lake view, his mood would become quiet as the lake water gently shaking.

However, tranquility is only temporary. Every day when the sun jumps from the horizon, Hou Weidong returns to the role of the new director of the management committee.

A meeting of middle-level cadres was held in the morning and the current work was arranged. The meeting of middle-level cadres was over. Zhang Jin, Zhang Xiangyu and another deputy director from the development zone, Yuan Hai, talked about this miscellaneous matter, and it was eleven o'clock before we knew it.

As soon as he walked out of the small conference room, Hou Weidong looked up and saw Su Ming, secretary of the Party Committee of Shangqinglin, standing on the corridor. He walked a few steps quickly and said, "Secretary Su, why are you standing here?"

Su Ming smiled and said, "Director Hou, I just arrived. I called you last night and you turned off your phone."

Hou Weidong said affectionately: "Don't call me Director Hou, but call me brother, be so kind." He explained: "The phone didn't have electricity last night, and I remember to charge it after dinner."

"No wonder the phone is turned off, no one answered the landline."

After entering the office and facing the old leader of Qinglin Town, Hou Weidong was very enthusiastic, making tea, dispersing smoke, and personally lit the fire for Su Ming.

Before Su Ming could explain his purpose, Hou Weidong called Qin Feiyue and said, "Secretary Qin, Secretary Su Ming is here with me. Have you had time at noon? Have you had dinner together. Well, I'm in the newly opened Chongqing Jianghu Restaurant. I heard that the business is very hot."

Su Ming hurriedly said, "I'll treat you today, don't make arrangements."

"How can this be true? The old leader is here. If I don't have the friendship of a landlord, I will be laughed at."

When he was in Qinglin, Su Ming was pretty good to Hou Weidong. Hou Weidong was Su Ming's most capable deputy mayor, and the two had a close relationship. Today Su Ming came to him in person, and Hou Weidong knew that there must be something important. He had already made up his mind that if it was not something that violated the principles, he would help him.

After chatting for a few words, Su Ming went straight to the topic, "Brother, I won't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, and I want to ask for help if I have something to do."

"Secretary Su, don't talk about helping, just give me instructions if you have any questions."

Su Ming took the cigarette and handed another one to Hou Weidong, saying, "My elder sister's son Liu Bo came from Shazhou Teachers College this year. He doesn't want to teach and doesn't want to work in the townships. My brother is in charge of the new management committee. Can Liu Bo come to work in the new management committee?"

Hou Weidong thought for a while before saying, "What major did Liu Bo study?"

“He is a physics major.”

"The new manager is not a writer, I want to recruit some people who can write articles."

"Liu Bo also has expertise. He has a good computer skills. Before graduating from university, he worked as an amateur teacher in a computer training class in Shazhou City. Now he is engaged in informatization everywhere, so his expertise is also useful."

Hou Weidong no longer took turns and said: "It is very difficult to graduate from college and enter the agency, and the competition is very fierce. You must sign Secretary Ji to enter the city."

"I will run for Secretary Ji's work."

Hou Weidong said readily: "Since the old leader has spoken, what else can I say about this? I will say hello to the Personnel Department and follow the formal procedures at that time."

Su Ming had long expected Hou Weidong to agree to this matter and said, "I will thank my elder sister for this matter first. My elder sister and my brother-in-law want to invite me to dinner alone. I know I am busy with my affairs, but no matter how busy I am, I have to take some time. This is also my elder sister's wish."

In 1997, Shazhou Normal College students were mainly assigned to township middle schools, and they could not enter the agency without strong relationships. Now, Su Ming, secretary of the Party Committee of Qinglin Town, took action and took care of his nephew's work in a few words.

Hou Weidong said intimately: "This society is too realistic. Some people can do it in just a few words, while some people can't even touch the temple gate."

After finishing the business, Hou Weidong and Su Ming set out to Chongqing Jianghu Restaurant. Hou Weidong was a Mitsubishi car, and Su Ming was a temporarily new Santana 2000 model. When passing the bus stop in front of the pedestrian street, Hou Weidong saw Zhao Yongsheng, the former Party Secretary of Qinglin Town, squeezing the bus with the crowd. His hair, which had been combed in detail in the past, was also scattered, and there was a marked sweat on the back of his shirt.

Hou Weidong couldn't help but remember the last time he went to Shazhou to visit Gao Zhiyuan, the director of the National People's Congress. He came to the Qinglin government from Shangqinglin early in the morning, but did not get on the small car. Although this was just a trivial matter, it was deeply imprinted in Hou Weidong's mind. Of course, he would not deliberately retaliate against Zhao Yongsheng for these trivial matters. At this time, he saw such a strong person squeezing the bus in sweat, and he felt a little sad.

After Zhao Yongsheng left Qinglin Town, he left two more units. Because he was older, he was transferred to the government's Education, Science, Culture and Health Working Committee as director. His rank was the same. However, the conditions of the Yiyang County CPPCC were not very good. There were three small cars, which mainly ensured that the use of several vice chairmen were made. Other working committee directors could only squeeze into buses or walk.

When he arrived at the Chongqing Jianghu Restaurant and got off the bus, Hou Weidong said to Su Ming: "Secretary Su, did you see Secretary Zhao just now?"

Zhao Yongsheng is the old secretary of Qinglin Town and was once Su Ming's superior. He has always been arguing about all kinds of things in Qinglin Town. He must be the final decision on major issues. Su Ming is relatively modest. Although he has different opinions on some things, it also makes his opinions rotten in his heart, so the two of them are at peace.

Su Ming also sighed a little and said, "It's Zhao Changsheng. He is old and it's good to join the CPPCC. Some party committee secretaries have retreated directly to the second line in their original units, which is even worse."

After entering the restaurant, the image of Zhao Changsheng squeezing the bus appeared in Hou Weidong's mind, and he thought: "The political life of grassroots officials is too short, and they are about to be dismissed in their early fifties. What's the point of climbing up so hard when they were young?"

After waiting in the restaurant for a while, Qin Feiyue sat downstairs with a new crown and went upstairs. Hou Weidong smiled and said, "When did you get a crown?" Qin Feiyue shook hands with Su Ming and said, "This is a car specially approved by County Mayor Ma. This car is the face of Chengguan Town." He said, "A good car is like a beautiful woman. There are always people who remember it. I bought this car for more than a month, and at least half of the time I was borrowed by several deputy county magistrates."

The three of them sat in the private room facing the street by the window, and the three drivers sat at a small table and ordered the dishes. No one who was an official was by the side, so they ate more comfortable.

"Brother Hou, you have been in contact with Buck, how about this person?"

"Why, he wants to develop urban areas?"

Qin Feiyue said: "Yiyang Local Products Company has moved away and a large piece of land is empty in the center of the city. He wants to eat this piece of land."
