Life in the provincial party school is leisurely but rarely tense. Most department-level cadres take advantage of the opportunity to learn to make friends in the provincial capital, find ways to relax their tired body and mind.

Vice Governor Zhou Changquan has already gained the trust of Governor Zhu Jianguo. It is a foregone conclusion that Hou Weidong joins the provincial government to serve as deputy secretary-general. Because of this, Hou Weidong is a little leisurely at the provincial party school. He does regard the life of the party school as a good time to recharge. He took the time to read several large books and read the "*Selected Works" again.

However, he was used to doing practical things. After he was idle at the Party School, he felt that he was doing nothing and felt that he was a rootless duckweed.

Last night, I walked alone in the capital and returned to the office. I went to bed at eleven o'clock, going to bed early and waking up early.

When he went out, he saw Yang Liu. He asked, "Have Mayor Ning not woke up yet?"

Yang Liu is a mother, and she is still as petite as she was at Yiyang Xin Management Committee back then. "Mayor Ning has been very tired for a while and took this opportunity to sleep in. I have booked a plane back to Lingxi at 3:00 pm. Mayor Ning invites all the leaders to eat Quanjude at noon."

In order to serve the three municipal government leaders, Ren Lindu opened a room on the third floor. Hearing Hou Weidong's voice, he hurried out and said, "Mayor Hou, get up. I'll ask someone to prepare breakfast."

"No, when I arrive in the capital, I will find a place to eat myself." In order not to let Ren Lindu follow, Hou Weidong said: "When I arrive in a place, I have to eat specialties. I drive around the streets and find small places to eat."

Ren Lindu said: "Then I will accompany you."

"No. I'll go around myself."

With Ning Yue here, Ren Lindu didn't really want to accompany Hou Weidong out for breakfast. He just made a gesture. Seeing Hou Weidong rejecting him, he took the opportunity to get off the donkey and said, "There are many snacks nearby. There are flavors everywhere."

After leaving the office, Hou Weidong drove straight to the small restaurant he had been to yesterday. He quickly found a big place based on his memory, but when he was looking for this small restaurant, he was a little confused. He drove for a while and then found the place where he had eaten yesterday.

I looked at the watch and it was exactly 7:30.

The round cooking chef recognized him and said, "You're so early, what are you going to do?" Hou Weidong said freely and easily: "I'm an amateur. Please order some unique ones for me."

The cooking chef grinned and said, "You didn't eat fried liver yesterday, I'll give me one today." He said, "The fried liver is a bit old. There is a dish called white water crumbs in Huixianju in the late Qing Dynasty. It is cooked with pig intestines, liver, heart, lungs and seasonings. Later, the heart and lungs were removed and fried livers are specially made. Now there are jokes. For example, why do you like fried livers, heartless? There is another story about Zhu Bajie eating fried livers, which hurts his bones and flesh."

He boasted himself, "Don't look at my small place, it is a real gold treasure land. The yellow belts of the Qing Dynasty often come to this place."

His words are sonorous and powerful, and very contagious. Hou Weidong sighed secretly: "The capital is really different, with historical accumulation and knowledge."

At this time, another customer came in, and Master Yuanfa turned around and left. Hou Weidongan sat down quietly. He came to this store again today because of what Master Yuanfa said yesterday. If you meet Meng Haofang here, it is considered destined to be. If you can't meet him, you will be treated as an experience of the authentic small shop in the capital.

Originally, he didn't want to drink, but couldn't resist the temptation of the fat master, so he took a bottle of Red Star Erguotou. If he was in Shazhou, it would be no big deal to drive a car to drink some wine according to his alcohol tolerance. However, when he arrived at the capital, he didn't want to embarrass himself for these details. Therefore, he just poured a little white wine, sipped slowly, tasted the fried lamb liver, and imagined that time had flowed back to the Qing Dynasty. A certain man from Beile also stopped here, and he really felt a sense of historical vicissitudes.

While thinking, a man and a woman came in outside the door, and it was Meng Haofang and Wu Ying. Hou Weidong's eyes lit up. He did not leave the table immediately, but lowered his head to continue eating. After Wu Ying and Meng Haofang sat down, they stood up and walked over.

He pondered Meng Haofang's mood of going to a small shop to eat. He had been a star leader in Lingxi for a long time and was called around all day long, thinking about living a commoner's life but was unavailable. Now he has entered the central government and his political status has improved, but his chances of appearing on TV are far less than those in the province. He can occasionally enjoy the right to walk freely on the streets. This is also the most satisfying thing when he entered the capital.

Hou Weidong was very kind and thought through Meng boldness. When he walked to the table, he whispered in Lingxi: "Secretary Meng, Director Wu, hello."

Wu Ying was a little surprised and said, "Wei Dong, why are you here?" She was afraid that her husband would not remember Hou Weidong, and said, "This is Hou Weidong, deputy mayor of Shazhou."

Meng Haofang had a good memory. He nodded slightly and said, "I know, the youngest county party secretary in the province."

Wu Ying asked, "Why are you eating here?"

"The first phase of the restructuring of state-owned enterprises in Shazhou City has initial results. I accompanied Mayor Ning Yue to report to Director Qiao about the restructuring of state-owned enterprises in the previous stage... I came out this morning and wanted to try the authentic capital snacks." Hou Weidong said 90% of the truth, and another 10% of them were concealed.

Meng Haofang was quite familiar with Ning Yue. He sent her to serve as deputy secretary of the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee. There was still some controversy in the province. Now all aspects have responded to Ning Yue very well, which also proves that the decision was correct. He said: "Ning Yue is very smart. There has been a conclusion on the restructuring in the previous stage. Most of the time when we look for Lao Qiao is for the thermal power plant."

"It is indeed for the thermal power plant, and there has been intentional opinions."

Wu Ying had a great impression of Hou Weidong. Seeing him standing respectfully at the table, he said, "Weidong, bring the dishes here, let's have the three of us chat while eating."

Meng Haofang looked at Wu Ying inadvertently and said to himself: "Hou Weidong is taking the wife's route." He did not agree or stop him, and sat firmly at the table.

Hearing Wu Ying's greeting, Hou Weidong did not refuse, turned around and went to serve the dishes. He took a few hundred yuan bills and stuffed them into the round-faced master quietly, whispering: "Refuse more and make up for less, and serve two more specialties."

The round-faced master has been guarding a small shop for decades and has a wide range of knowledge. He took the money and didn't ask much. He ran to the kitchen to find the most expensive dishes, but this shop is full of ordinary snacks, and it really doesn't have too expensive ingredients.

Meng Haofang is a person with strong principles. Wu Ying usually chooses the right opportunity and method if he wants to open a back door. If he talks to Hou Weidong for no reason, Meng Haofang will be in his left ear and out of his right ear, and will not remember it in his heart, nor will he take any action. Today, she accidentally arrived at Hou Weidong, and she was determined to say a few good things for Hou Weidong.

"Xiao Hou, are you still the deputy mayor?"

"I am studying in the provincial party school and municipal bureau-level class."

"What are the plans for the next step?"

"The Provincial Government Office has made some adjustments recently."

"Weidong is an excellent young cadre and needs to work hard. Although I don't work in the province, I can come to me if I have anything to do."

Meng Haofang listened quietly. His expression did not change.

After breakfast, Hou Weidong sent Meng Haofang and his wife to a separate small courtyard. This courtyard was very ordinary in the west of Lingxi. But it was very amazing to be placed in the capital. Hou Weidong stopped at the gate of the courtyard, looked at Meng, and Wu's back walked through the courtyard. He raised his head, carefully recorded the community door number, and observed the surrounding scenery. Then he walked to the parking lot.

Meng Hao put himself in the courtyard and he took a short walk in the green area. This is also his daily habit, and he can think about problems while walking.

"Did Hou Weidong intend to wait for us here? Otherwise, it wouldn't be so coincidental?" Meng Haofang suddenly asked after taking away the greening for a while.

Wu Ying denied: "This morning, the little aunt asked for leave, and you were greedy. We were just going out for dinner just now. Hou Weidong would not borrow the east wind, so how could we think we were going to eat in this small restaurant? Moreover, Hou Weidong, Meng Ning, Xiaoyong, are all familiar with me, and I. He can visit him at home, so why bother to touch us at the small restaurant?"

"It makes sense, but in a huge capital, you will meet Shazhou cadres when you have breakfast, which is a coincidence."

"I think it's just a chance encounter. Don't be suspicious. You're really a vocational disease."

Meng Hao has been in a high position for a long time and is very sensitive to his deliberate pleasing to his subordinates. He carefully considered it and saw that when he met Hou Weidong this morning, the possibility of encountering him by chance was indeed very high.

"You talk about Wei Dong at once, and you have a good impression of him."

"He has served as the county party secretary and also as the director of the Shazhou Agricultural Machinery and Water Power Bureau. We have had a lot of contact with him. This is the young leading cadre I admire most in Shazhou."

"How is it compared to dawn?"

"They have different styles. When it comes to their motivation to do practical things, I think Hou Weidong is better. In terms of the overall situation, the dawn is stronger."

Meng Haofang heard this comment and said, "I like cadres who can do practical things. The ones I lack the most now are cadres who do practical things." He also said, "According to your opinion, Shuguang has become the vice governor. Does Hou Weidong have the ability to be the director of transportation?"

Wu Ying glanced at her husband and said, "If you want to talk about ability, you must have it. It depends on Comrade Guoliang's idea."

Meng Haofang then realized that he was no longer the secretary of the Lingxi Provincial Party Committee. He patted his forehead and said, "I have made an old problem again. I always think I am still in Lingxi."

When Hou Weidong sat back in the car, he kept thinking:

"With Meng's boldness and unrestrained position in the central government, I should strengthen my contacts. My previous attitude has accumulated. In the officialdom, I will go against the current and retreat if I do not advance."

"Now, relying mainly on Wu Ying's line, the strength is still not enough, and it can be regarded as a concise relationship. How can I impress Meng Haofang? How can I make this line play a greater role?" Hou Weidong and Meng Haofang's levels are too far apart. With normal and reasonable means, Hou Weidong's actions in the west of the mountain cannot reach Meng Haofang's sight at all. It is indeed a difficult task to gain Meng Haofang's appreciation.

Some time ago, he felt that the overall situation of entering the provincial government was settled and he felt a little relaxed. Today, he miraculously met Meng Haofang, and his inner combat power was stimulated again.

"As an official, there is no regret for being a bold and generous official. He is a human being, and I am also a human being. He has the ability, why can't I do it?"

"Although Ren Lindu has flaws in his official career, his skills in black are still good, which is worth learning. It seems that in the future, he will have to take the initiative to report to Meng Haofang for work."

"People have weaknesses and things they like. Where is Meng Haowang's weakness?"

Hou Weidong is a practical person. Sitting in the car, he immediately called Meng Haofang's son-in-law Zhu Xiaoyong and said, "Xiaoyong, I am Weidong. I haven't seen each other for a long time. I met Shuguang a few days ago. When will the two brothers have a drink?"

Zhu Xiaoyong was accompanying Meng Ning in Hawaii, sitting at the sea stall looking at the beauties of various colors with few clothes, and said, "I heard that you are going to enter the General Office. This is a good thing. After I come back, I will talk to you about something."

"Then I won't bother you, just have fun."

Driven by the car, back to the office, and when you enter the door, you will see Jiang Xiangyu, the secretary general of the municipal government. He is holding his hands behind his back and allowing Lin Du to speak, with a rare seriousness on his face.

Seeing Hou Weidong coming back, Jiang Xiangyu said to Ren Lindu: "You go and prepare first."

Seeing Jiang Xiangyu's face was solemn, Hou Weidong asked on his own initiative: "What happened, Secretary-General?"
