Chapter 176 What happened to Concubine Shu?

"Bow and thank the officials of "Muxun and Cangyanz" for their monthly ticket support!"

Chen Ping has been talking about these officials all day long. Although he wasted a lot of time, his performance was still very good. He only used the names on the project leaders list of the financing platform to get unanimous support from the entire Luzhuang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government for the project. This transaction is still very cost-effective, not to mention that this was originally an unspoken rule in the officialdom.

You should know that looking at the officialdom across the country, whether it is a province, city or autonomous region, which large-scale project is launched, isn’t there a lot of names on the leadership list? Have these people all participated in the project construction?

This is obviously impossible. If half of the people inside can really contribute to the project, it will be considered a discovery of the conscience of these bureaucrats.

In fact, there are only a few people who are really doing things, and more people are just plaguing political achievements. Although there are many officials who are plaguing political achievements, many of them are middle-level officials at the level of directors. Perhaps the people who are doing things are leaders at the level of mayor, deputy mayors, but even leaders have to share their achievements with these middle-level officials. This is mainly to win over and unite subordinates.

Because in the government, there are only a few officials who can be the mayor and deputy mayor, while more officials are in the heads of various departments.

These middle-level officials at the bureaucratic level, like many as a cross-river, are not as good as leaders like mayors and deputy mayors, but they all have the power of life and death in a certain department. The reason why leaders above are called leaders is simply that these departments with different functions are supporting him below; if these departments with different support are lost, the leaders who are left with only commanders will not be able to sit for too long.

It is precisely because of this that when the leader makes a project, his achievements will naturally be given to the subordinates. This is not just for rewards and win over, but more importantly, those director-level officials may not have worse energy than those leaders.

Once the subordinates are dissatisfied and report to the province together that they are arbitrary and autocratic, disrespectful to collective leadership and intra-party democracy, and wait for the province to investigate, even the municipal party secretary will not be able to take advantage of it. Therefore, it is better to share the benefits instead of holding their achievements in their own hands.

Even those stable places do this, let alone Luzhuang, a place that has experienced political disputes and has not fully recovered. Although Concubine Xiao, who has a hard relationship in the province, is not afraid of the officials below, for Concubine Xiao, the secretary of the municipal party committee, who was airborne, she needs to use this project to unite and win over the entire Luzhuang officialdom and let them support themselves. Instead, it can no longer be like the financing platform this time, when the municipal party secretary wants to do projects, but officials of all the officials in Luzhuang are waiting and watching.

Of course, it is impossible to integrate the officialdom of Luzhuang by using this financing platform, but at least this is a means to win people's hearts. Chen Ping believes that through this incident, if there are other projects next time, these officials will definitely support it.

Chen Ping looked at the time. It was past four o'clock, and there was still some time before getting off work. Chen Ping called his secretary Zhang Tao in first and found out that there was nothing else except some directors who came to find him today.

As for the directors and officials who came to find him, they had already called him, and Chen Ping knew that they were looking for him, so he didn't take it to heart.

Afterwards, Chen Ping walked out of the office. He felt that he needed to report today's results to Concubine Xiao, so he came to the office of the Municipal Party Secretary.

Secretary Jiang Nan is outside, which means that Concubine Xiao must be there. Looking at the beautiful little secretary who has just been broken from a girl to a woman, Chen Ping was about to tease her, but Jiang Nan looked worried and said to Chen Ping: "Chen Ping, are you here to find Secretary Xiao?"

Facing Jiang Nan's appearance, Chen Ping was a little surprised, but he nodded, and then Jiang Nan said again: "Mayor Chen, I advise you to come back tomorrow. Secretary Xiao's mood today is very wrong."

Chen Ping raised his eyebrows in surprise, because the financing platform was on track, and there was nothing else that would bother her anymore. Why would Concubine Xiao be in a bad mood? But seeing Jiang Nan's anxious look, she was indeed not deliberately lying to him. Moreover, Jiang Nan is also a person who can distinguish between importance and will not joke about such things.

Maybe something was wrong with her family? No matter what, I should go in and see what was going on.

Chen Ping thought this way, and then said to Jiang Nan in a relaxed tone: "I understand Secretary Jiang, I will pay attention to my words."

When Jiang Nan heard Chen Ping's words, he still wanted to go in, so he had to say to him: "Then Mayor Chen, you must pay attention to your words when you see Secretary Xiao. I have been with her for so long, but I have not seen Secretary Xiao's current state yet."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Don't worry, Secretary Jiang, I dare not annoy Secretary Xiao. If she annoyed her and cut me alive, wouldn't my little girl who was just a bridal chamber be a widow?"

Jiang Nan's pretty face turned red, and he reached out to pinch Chen Ping's waist, then glared at Chen Ping and said, "Chen Ping, you are going to die, I'm talking to you about serious business!"

Chen Ping was so pinched by Jiang Nan that he had to ask Jiang Nan for mercy: "Secretary Jiang is merciful, I will keep in mind Secretary Jiang's teachings."

Jiang Nan then let go of his hand proudly, and then Jiang Nan knocked on the door of Concubine Xiao Shu's office to help Chen Ping inform him, which made Chen Ping frown slightly because he never needed to inform him when he came to Concubine Xiao Shu. Jiang Nan also understood this point, but now Jiang Nan informed him again. With this caution, it seems that Concubine Xiao Shu's mood is not very bad, and she has to find a way to comfort her.

Just as Chen Ping was thinking this way, Jiang Nan had already turned around and said to Chen Ping: "Mayor Chen, Secretary Xiao invites you in."

Chen Pingen said, then walked towards Concubine Xiao Shu's office. Just as he passed by Jiang Nan, Jiang Nan still asked Chen Ping in a low voice: "Chen, you must be careful. If Secretary Xiao really gets angry, I can't help you."

This time Chen Ping did not tease Jiang Nan anymore, but nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, I will."

Looking at Chen Ping's serious expression, Jiang Nan was slightly distracted, which reminded her of the days when she accompanied him to run around for the financing platform. At that time, Chen Ping had such a focused expression, which was also the one that moved her the most.

However, Chen Ping did not pay much attention to Jiang Nan. After he finished speaking, he walked into Concubine Xiao Shu's office. Concubine Xiao Shu was sitting upright on her office chair. There was indeed a hint of gloom on her face, and her face looked very bad.

Chen Ping closed the office door, stepped forward and asked her with some concern: "Sister Shufei, what's wrong with you? Your face is very bad."

"Nothing," Xiao Shufei waved her hand and said, "Is there anything wrong with Mayor Chen coming to find me?"

Chen Ping frowned at the way Concubine Xiao Shu called him Mayor Chen, but Chen Ping immediately wanted to report the matter first before enlightening her.

Under this idea, Chen Ping said to Xiao Shufei: "Sister Shufei, that's it. Today, Shen Jianling, director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, Secretary Jiang of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, Minister Hu of the Propaganda Department and other leaders of the Municipal Party Committee, as well as Director Luo of the Development and Reform Commission, all called me to the point that I wanted to share some achievements in this financing platform project. I think that sharing the achievements to them will be beneficial to the future unity of Luzhuang City, so I agreed to them."

With Concubine Xiao Shu's political wisdom, of course she could understand Chen Ping's intentions, so she nodded and said, "Mayor Chen, you did this beautiful thing very well, which is conducive to unity."

Chen Ping frowned deeper and deeper, because he felt that Concubine Xiao's tone was too strange, but he still thought it would be better to finish the matter first, so he suppressed the strangeness in his heart, and then said to Concubine Xiao: "Sister Shufei, but it's useless for me to promise them. After all, you are the secretary of the municipal party committee!"

"I understand. I will add these people's names to the report submitted to the superior unit on the financing platform," said Xiao Shufei, "Is there anything else for Mayor Chen?"

Chen Ping shook his head and Concubine Xiao Shu said, "I have recorded this matter, but Mayor Chen, in the future, you can call Secretary Jiang and ask her to convey it. There is no need to go there in person, right? Mayor Chen, are you so idle that you have nothing to do?"

Hearing Concubine Xiao Shu said this, Chen Ping could no longer help it. He asked Concubine Xiao, "Sister Shu, what's wrong with you?"

Concubine Xiao still replied with an expression: "I'm not bad, why did Mayor Chen ask this?"

"That's because Sister Shufei, you give me a very abnormal feeling!" Chen Ping said, "If it were Sister Shufei, how could she be so polite to me? She said I shouldn't come to her, just call her and let the secretary convey it? If it were Sister Shufei, how could she say that I was idle and had nothing to do?"

Chen Ping said this and then said in a summary: "So, Sister Shufei, you are so abnormal today. Is something happened? Sister Shufei, you can tell me that even if I try my best, I will find a way for Sister Shufei," he said.

After saying that, Chen Ping stared at Concubine Xiao. Sure enough, he saw a familiar gentleness and relief in Concubine Xiao’s eyes, but then Concubine Xiao’s face became unfamiliar. She smirked and said to Chen Ping: “Thank you for your concern, but Mayor Chen, you are really worried, I have nothing to do.”

"Impossible!" Chen Ping said.

Concubine Xiao sighed and said to Chen Ping: "Okay, since Mayor Chen is so persistent, then I will tell Mayor Chen that I have been feeling a little uncomfortable recently. If Mayor Chen wants to know more and more details, it is a woman's **. I think Mayor Chen is not interested in this matter, and he wants to inquire, right?"

Chen Ping shook his head and said, "Sister Shufei, if it is really your physical reason, I certainly won't inquire, but Sister Shufei, you are not the reason at all, aren't you?"

Concubine Xiao laughed and said, "Mayor Chen is worried too much. I am very grateful to Mayor Chen for his concern, but I feel a little uncomfortable, so I feel a little irritable for no reason."

"No," Chen Ping said firmly, "Sister Shufei, your eyes tell me that your condition today is for another reason."

Concubine Xiao could no longer hold it back at this time, so she slapped the table and pointed at Chen Ping and said angrily: "Enough! Mayor Chen, do you think you know me very well? I said it's because I'm not feeling well!"

Chen Ping said: "Sister Shufei, of course I know you. If I don't know you, I will never say these words. If Sister Shufei is really just feeling uncomfortable, how could she say such disgusting words?"

Concubine Xiao seemed to be stunned by Chen Ping's momentum, and stood there, opening her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

At this time, Chen Ping held Xiao Shufei and pointed at her hand, conveying the warmth of his palm to her, and said to her: "Sister Shufei, although I don't know what happened and what made my dear Shufei become like this, I can definitely understand that it must be a drastic change in which the sky collapses and the earth falls."

"But no matter what it is, you don't have to worry about it, because I will definitely stand on your side of Sister Shufei. Even if I try my best, I will help you. I will still wait for Sister Shufei to protect me when you become rich!" Chen Ping looked at Concubine Xiao and said, "This is the agreement between me and Sister Shufei, isn't it?"

Concubine Xiao was a little moved by Chen Ping's words. She looked at Chen Ping with a dim look and murmured: "Agreement?"

"Yes, the agreement is my promise to Sister Shufei, which I desperately abide by," Chen Ping said, "So Sister Shufei, do you have to tell me no matter what happened? And have you agreed to me for this matter? Because seeing you today really hurts me!"

"Does your heart hurt?"

Concubine Xiao murmured this sentence, and her body trembled a little, but then Concubine Xiao breathed a long sigh and suppressed all these emotions. She suppressed her voice and said to Chen Ping: "Okay, Mayor Chen, thank you for your concern and loyalty, but I really have nothing to do, so don't worry."

After saying that, Concubine Xiao raised her head, looked at Chen Ping and smiled reluctantly, "Mayor Chen, if you have nothing to do, go back first. I feel uncomfortable and need a rest."

"I have something to do. Sister Shufei's business is my biggest thing. How can I say I'm fine?"

Chen Ping said this, and then reached out to hold Xiao Shufei's hand, but when Chen Ping just touched Xiao Shufei's hand, Xiao Shufei shook it away as if she was electrocuted, and then looked at Chen Ping and asked, "Mayor Chen, what do you want to do?"

Chen Ping was confused by the question of Concubine Xiao. He didn't understand why Concubine Xiao asked this question at this time, so he said to Concubine Xiao: "Sister Shufei, what do I want to do? I don't want to do anything. I just want to care about what happened to you, Sister Shufei. I want to help Concubine Shufei solve the problem!"

"I don't have any trouble to solve it!" Concubine Xiao said, then relieved her emotions, and then continued, "If Mayor Chen, you really want to help me, please go back to your office and let me have a good rest."

"Sister Shufei, how can I feel at ease to go back?" Chen Ping said this, and then subconsciously pulled Xiao Shufei's hand.

This time, Concubine Xiao took a step back and looked at Chen Ping with a stern look and said, "Mayor Chen, please respect yourself. This is in the office building of the municipal government. I am the secretary of the municipal party committee, and Chen Ping, you are also the deputy mayor, and the core of the leadership of the municipal government. I hope you can be sensible and have the minimum respect for the leaders!"

Hearing Concubine Xiao Shu said such serious things, Chen Ping had to take a step back and raised his hands to signal that he would not take any further action. Then he said to Concubine Xiao: "Sister Shufei, I won't move anymore, but Sister Shufei, what's going on with you? Your current state makes me very worried!"

"Mayor Chen, I think I have already told you very clearly. I'm fine..."

Before Concubine Xiao finished speaking, she was interrupted by Chen Ping and said, "Sister Shufei, I think I have already said it very clearly. I know you, Sister Shufei, very well. You must have something to do in your heart now."

After hearing Chen Ping's words, Concubine Xiao suddenly shook her body in a daze, and then Concubine Xiao said to Chen Ping: "Mayor Chen, you said I have something to do in my heart. I think you are just a little abnormal now. Maybe it's because the work of the financing platform puts you too much pressure, and I think you need to go back and have a good rest."

"I don't need a rest!" Chen Ping said.

"You don't have the final say whether you need a rest or not," said Xiao Shufei, pointing to the door of the office and then saying, "Mayor Chen, I am now ordering you as the secretary of the municipal party committee and return to your office to rest immediately!"

Chen Ping stared at Concubine Xiao for a while before saying, "If Concubine Shu, you don't explain clearly what happened to you, I will not leave, absolutely!"

"Chen Ping!" Concubine Xiao raised her tone and said, "Look at what you look like now? Where is there a little bit of the deputy mayor? She is completely a hooligan rogue on the street!"

Chen Ping also responded without giving in: "If this can make you tell me what happened to you, then I am a rogue rogue and a rogue. I don't care!"

At this moment, the door of Concubine Xiao Shu's office was suddenly opened. Concubine Xiao Shu's secretary Jiang Nan walked in. Looking at Chen Ping and Concubine Xiao, who were very smelly of gunpowder, she said in surprise: "Secretary Xiao Mayor Chen, what's wrong with you?"
