Chapter 615: The Dust Settles (Part 1)

When she got up in the morning, Guo Lan sat at home. She called the director of the Office of the Organization Department of the County Party Committee: "I am in the Municipal Party Committee and I send a car to the Municipal Party Committee to pick me up at 3 o'clock in the afternoon."

This is arranging the work and explaining my whereabouts.

Guo Lan did not combed her hair and sat quietly in front of the window. The sunlight shone directly on her face was not hot, and it was very warm and comfortable. She sat for a while, took out a box of milk from the refrigerator, poured it into a glass, and walked to the balcony and sucked it slowly.

After drinking milk, she tied her hair with a rope, opened the piano lid, and played Richard Clayderman's piano piece "Memorial of Love".

This is the most popular song at present. The popular things are not the best, nor are they bad. However, there is always a reason to be popular. This piano piece is full of childlike fun and joy, like three or two children sitting by the river and sliding down the river to the bank.

As he was playing, Hou Weidong called and said, "Director Chen Zaixi wanted to go to Chengjin for a walk. If I went to Chengjin, I would be eye-catching. You still have to accompany him."

Guo Lan was a little surprised and said, "Chen Zaixi is the leader of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Why don't he go to Shazhou to follow the line of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, but to investigate in an informal way." She and Hou Weidong already understood that Chen Zaixi was definitely not going by the way, but had a purpose.

"I don't know this, maybe I'll conduct an external investigation first." Hou Weidong basically guessed the truth of the matter, but he couldn't verify it.

"Are you still in Shazhou?"

"I'm still in Shazhou. I'm going to the municipal party committee to meet Huang Zidi in the afternoon. I took a break from my busy schedule and gave myself a vacation."

"I transferred to the Agricultural Machinery and Water Power Bureau. I handed over a lot of work to Shen Dongfeng. It can be considered as a matter of how many months of life I have to spend. What are you doing now?"

“Playing the piano.”

"I really like listening to you playing the piano. You turn on your phone and I listen to it in your phone."

Guo Lan put her mobile phone on the piano cover and played another piano piece by Richard Clayderman.

"Does it sound good?"

"It sounds nice, this song is very familiar. I heard you play it before, what's the name?"

"This is Richard Clayderman's "Wedding in a Dream." After saying the name of the song, Guo Lan realized that the title made people feel inappropriate.

After listening to this song, Hou Weidong said intimately: "It seems that Guo Lan subconsciously wants to own a home. This is the wish of all women in the world." Thinking of this topic, he couldn't help but think of Li Jing who was far away in Hong Kong. He was very entangled in his mind, like a mess, unable to cut it, and still messy, like a sorrow of parting, and it felt a different feeling in his heart.

At noon, Hou Weidong brought Xiaojia and Xiaojia to a farmhouse in the suburbs. Jiang Xiao and his elder brother Hou Weiguo were already standing at the door waiting. His father Hou Yonggui and his mother Liu Guangfen were playing in the yard with their second sister's child.

"My son, come here and play with my brother." Liu Guangfen was very happy when he saw his son. He quickly gathered the two children by his side. The two little guys were still a little unfamiliar with each other when they met. Liu Guangfen was a primary school teacher and was the best at guiding the children. Two little guys of the same age soon ran around the yard.

Hou Weiguo looked at his watch and asked, "Why haven't your parents come here yet?"

Jiang Xiao took out his cell phone and urged him again, saying, "They and my uncle are about to arrive."

After waiting for more than ten minutes, he saw a Santana 2,000-year-old driving into the farmhouse. In the car, Lao Jiang looked at the farmhouse house in the distance and said to Meng Houshi: "I have never understood what Jiang Xiao looks like, why did he have to find a second marriage."

Meng Houshi advised: "The times are different now. As long as the children like it, don't worry about it if they have fewer adults. Hou Weiguo is still a good person. He became the deputy captain of the Criminal Police Detachment at a young age and his future is bright."

Jiang Xiao has always been the treasure of Jiang Xiao. He has high hopes for Jiang Xiao's marriage. In other words, any young man has all kinds of problems in his eyes. He always feels that Hou Weiguo snatched his daughter away from him. Thinking of this, he feels a split pain in his heart.

Meng Houshi knew his thoughts and said, "Men are married when they are old, and women are married when they are old. This is impossible. You have to be more open-minded. Moreover, Hou Weiguo has no children, which is similar to the first marriage."

Jiang Xiao's mother said, "The Hou family's conditions are pretty good, at least Hou Weiguo's parents don't need to bear it. This is very good. This young man is well-educated and reasonable, and I like it." She said, "Hou Weidong is even more amazing. He became the county party secretary at a young age. Lao Meng, do you think he has a future?"

Meng Houshi smiled and said, "It depends on the future. There are several county party secretaries and directors in Shazhou. This is the future. Hou Weidong is not simple, and there is a great opportunity to move up. The key is how he grasps it. Even if he does not make progress in the future, he will at least be a director."

The car entered the farmhouse. The two brothers Hou Weiguo and Hou Weidong were all waiting outside the car door for politeness.

When Chiang saw Hou Weiguo, his expression was quite unnatural. He nodded and walked into the farmhouse. Jiang Xiao stuck out his tongue at Hou Weiguo, generously held Hou Weiguo's arm and followed his parents.

The two adults sat together for a spy conversation, and both sides were very polite.

Meng Houshi and Hou Weidong are people in the officialdom, and they sat alone and chatted.

"Secretary-General, when he was working, he learned a lot from you, and you still have more advice." Hou Weidong had a lot of contact with Meng Houshi at work when he was working in the Municipal Party Committee Office. His words were seven parts true and three parts false.

Meng Houshi is no longer in the position of Secretary-General, and smiled generously: "Weidong is a rising star in Shazhou. According to my contacts, although you are young, you are very sensible in dealing with people. In the administrative organs, you can see a person's level of thought through dealing with people. You can quickly enter the leadership position, which is a concentrated reflection of your efforts and level."

Hou Weidong smiled embarrassedly and said, "Thank you, Secretary-General for the praise."

Meng Houshi said: "The Secretary-General has collapsed. Don't call him that in the future. Just call Lao Meng."

"Then I will call Uncle Meng."

"I'm sorry, I dare not take it."

The two chatted about some gossip, Meng Houshi said: "I have read your resume. You have been working online in the Party Committee for a long time and have not had much contact with the government. When I was in the municipal government, I didn't see you running to the municipal government a few times."

Hou Weidong smiled and said, "One time and another time, now I am the government's cabinet-building department, and it is also an integral part of the government. Recently, I have been to the government to report on work every few days."

"Jiang Xiangyu did a good job in the position of Secretary-General, and I had a good relationship with him. Although you two were separated, he still spoke to Secretary Hou at once, and he respected him very much."

Meng Houshi had some bad views on Hou Weidong in the past, believing that he was a newcomer who was dependent on Zhou Changquan, and the person who really made him change his views was Jiang Xiangyu.

After Jiang Xiangyu became the secretary-general of the municipal government, he was a sleek person and often ran to Meng Houshi's house. He quickly strengthened the relationship between the two. While drinking, he talked about Hou Weidong many times, and he would not call him directly by his name every time, but respectfully called him "Secretary Hou". Meng Houshi thus thoroughly understood Hou Weidong's work in Chengjin without any prejudice. In the past, he only understood the general situation and the results, but now he has learned the details.

This is also the reason why Meng Houshi is very interested in Hou Weidong.

Hou Weidong said: "Xiangyu and I have a friendship in the battle. The situation in Chengjin was not very good at that time. We both took great efforts to control the situation."

"This time the Shazhou Municipal Government is going to change its term, and the personnel changes are quite large. I heard that Mayor Liu is going to Maodong to be the secretary of the municipal party committee. Maodong stabbed Luzi in the Shengbao Group. The province was very dissatisfied and intended to let Mayor Liu clean up the mess."

Hou Weidong was shocked and said, "Mayor Liu is leaving. The Shazhou Municipal Government has changed a lot. Who will be the top leader? Are there any rumors?"

"It's still difficult to explain clearly now? Judging from the situation in our city, the most powerful competitor is Jiang Xiangyu, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee."

Hou Weidong's face looked a little ugly.

Meng Houshi said: "Now you have a team and pay attention to the combination of the old, middle-aged and young generations, and you still have great hope."

He arrived at the provincial capital yesterday and met his old friend Zhu Jianguo. Meng Haofang was transferred to the central government. The competition for successors of the provincial party secretary was also entering a white-hot spot. Governor Qian and Zhu Jianguo have both entered the sight of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee. It has not been known yet. Of course, he saw this secret matter in his eyes and kept it in his heart.

"I followed the organization's arrangements. If I were allowed to serve as deputy mayor, I would do my best to work hard. If I didn't have the opportunity, I would do a good job in my current position." Hou Weidong said very smoothly, but in fact he expressed his attitude. He still wanted to be deputy mayor.

After lunch, Lao Jiang and Jiang Xiao's mother called Hou Weiguo aside alone. Jiang Xiao's mother was very satisfied with her prospective son-in-law, but Lao Jiang always felt awkward.

Lao Jiang asked: "Why did you want to divorce?"

Hou Weiguo sat opposite Lao Chiang in a proper manner. He thought about this issue many times in his mind and said, "The main reason for my ex-wife and I were different outlook on life and there was no conflict of interests. She had been doing pyramid schemes and went to Guangdong for three or four years. Regarding this matter, our conflicts were very sharp, which eventually led to the breakup."

Lao Jiang said again: "Xiao Xiao is the only daughter. She is usually very coquettish at home. You are older than her and you should take care of her more. She is a kind-hearted girl. Sometimes she doesn't speak well, so you should give in more." At this point, he choked up his words. He tried to control his emotions and forced himself to laugh.

"I hope you can take care of your old age and be humble in your family life. In addition, I don't want Xiaoxiao to be a criminal policeman. Now that you have established a relationship, you have to convince her to transfer the criminal police team, such as to the immigration and exit management department and the household registration management department."

Hou Weiguo promised with mercy: "I can do this, and transfer Xiaoxiao to other departments as soon as possible."
