Chapter 145: Who Will Take Over?
Liu Siyuan also smiled bitterly and said: "Alright, I've told you the truth. What are you planning to do from now on?"
Chen Jun bit his lower lip, looking rather worried, and after a long time said: "There's no time to consider what will happen in the future. For now, let's just maintain the status quo, I'll continue to look for true love, and before that, I'll just go along with you, anyway, the Minister of Organization's daughter is like that too..."
Liu Siyuan thought for a moment and then advised her a few words, later Chen Jun also said, let's just do it this way for now, I'll listen to you too, pay attention if there are any good men around.
It seems that for now, it can only be like this. In Liu Siyuan's heart, he was actually very conflicted. On one hand, his nature was still relatively simple and kind, not wanting to delay the girl's youth like this. On the other hand, in his heart, he secretly hypothesized that if Chen Jun really had another man, he couldn't help but feel jealous.
Chen Jun saw that he was a bit tired, so she let him rest for a while and went to change her clothes. About an hour later, she woke up Liu Siyuan who had fallen asleep, and the latter followed her to the appointment after seeing her wear a gray coat, looking like a white-collar worker in a big city. Overall, it was also very consistent with Chen Jun's temperament. Sometimes Liu Siyuan thought that she would be more suitable working as a white-collar worker rather than being in an official position.
The venue chosen by Hu Tianfang was a luxurious private room in a certain bar in Ziwei City, and this dimly lit environment with a hint of ambiguity and confusion was also his favorite.
Liu Siyuan and Chen Jun arrived, Hu Tianfang and Zheng Gaofeng were already there. Each of them brought a female companion. Hu Tianfang's was the long-unseen Lu Xiaojuan, while Zheng Gaofeng's was Wang Jiao, the head of the personnel department in the county committee office, whom Liu Siyuan also knew.
Wang Jiao was probably over thirty years old, with a decent appearance. In Liu Siyuan's eyes, she was just above average, but in Cheng'en County, she was already considered one of the better-looking women. Of course, her advantage wasn't her face, but rather her figure and charm. Her curvaceous body belonged to the kind that was fully ripe. Liu Siyuan thought to himself, no wonder so many people liked mature women. He saw some writing that said "mature woman" and as a result, readers would still get the impression of "wanting a mature woman".
She usually doesn't show up at the county committee office, so it's not clear when she got hooked up with Zheng Da Gongzi, or it can be said that Comrade Zheng Gaofeng is really omnipresent. According to what he knows, Wang Jiao has been married for many years and her child is not young either...
Liu Siyuan entered the door and first said a few words of courtesy, such as letting Hu Zong and Zheng Shuji wait for a long time, but no one took it seriously. Chen Jun was not the first time to accompany Liu Siyuan to attend the gathering organized by Hu Tianfang, and also knew Hu and Zheng, so he quickly got along with several people and chatted, speaking very elegantly and appropriately, making Liu Siyuan feel that he had indeed brought the right person.
Wang Jiao certainly knew the youngest county committee member of Cheng'en County, but when she learned that Chen Jun was already a deputy department-level official at such a young age, she felt extremely surprised and envious, and couldn't help but sigh that she and Liu Siyuan were indeed an unbeatable pair.
There was another person who came with Hu Tianfang, whom Liu Siyuan had met before at a gathering. He guessed that he should be Hu Tianfang's confidant, named Lai Zhiwen, who looked elegant and refined, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He was quite tall, estimated to be over 1.8 meters, and probably under thirty years old. According to his own introduction, he currently works at the Hanjiang City Discipline Inspection Commission and is a deputy department-level official. Lai Zhiwen came alone, without a female companion.
Soon, Li Zhexuan pushed the door and came in. He saw everyone politely greeting him. On the surface, he was also very enthusiastic about Liu Siyuan. While shaking hands with him, he said: "Every time I see Siyuan, I feel like I'm getting old. I heard you're doing well in Cheng'en County, keep it up."
Liu Siyuan also politely said on the surface: "Secretary Li has given me a lift, I am still very young and there are many aspects that need to be learned from and improved upon with the help of comrades. Please also ask Secretary Li for more guidance and support."
Li Zhexuan burst out laughing and shook his head, saying: "I'm not capable of promoting you now, I'm a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, struggling to save myself. On the other hand, your work in Cheng'en County is going well, and I need your strong support for my own work."
This sentence obviously has a bit of a hidden meaning, and Liu Siyuan doesn't know how to respond. Fortunately, Hu Tianpeng interrupts and changes the subject, looking at the woman Li Zhexuan brought with him: "Li Ge, aren't you going to introduce us to the beautiful lady behind you?"
Actually, the beautiful woman on site was recognized by everyone except Hu Tianfang and Lai Zhiwen who came from Hanjiang. Liu Siyuan was also surprised when he saw her, it turned out to be Wu Yahui, a well-known host of Ziwei City TV station, who hosted some entertainment programs, such as blind date shows and some prank celebrity shows, especially the latter, which were quite boring.
She can be a municipal TV host, Wu Yahui looks naturally not bad-looking, of course, she has put on very heavy makeup, and it's hard to see how she looks without makeup. Anyway, Liu Siyuan touched his little black book... nothing happened, apparently she didn't enter its eyes.
Obviously, Wu Ya Hui is also a very proud person. She's not only beautiful but also famous, and she probably knew beforehand that her boyfriend Li Zhe Xuan was the highest level here, so she maintained a slightly reserved attitude throughout.
However, this pride did not last long. As soon as she came in, she saw Lu Xiaojuan and Chen Jun, two big beauties, and was slightly shocked. To know that in Ziwei City, she rarely met people with a good appearance comparable to hers, let alone surpassing her. She didn't expect that today's gathering would have two beauties who surpassed her at the same time, and both of them didn't wear heavy makeup, just casually sketching out an inexplicable beauty. Suddenly, her face was not very pleasant, but fortunately, she had been in the entertainment industry for a long time and covered it up well.
As Li Zhexuan introduced her, she became even more depressed because during the introduction process, Wu Yahui was disappointed to find that at least three of the four men present, except for Li Zhexuan, were not very interested in her. The tall Lai Zhiwen and the youngest Liu Siyuan knew how to be polite and greet her, but the one called Hu Tianfang didn't even give her a glance.
The only exception was that ugliest fatty, who had been staring at himself with a dazed expression all along, allowing Wu Yahui to regain some of her self-esteem.
However, what surprised her the most today was not the attitude of the two beauties or those men, but that several people seemed to be sitting casually, and actually, Hu Tian had taken the main seat! In other words, that thin and handsome man who held no official position at all made the third-ranked person in Ziwai City sit below him.
A few people were casually talking about some irrelevant topics, seemingly relaxed and casual, but in fact Liu Siyuan discovered that Hu Tianfang and others were secretly observing him, of course, there was also a situation where those people were mutually observing each other.
"Brother Li, is Old Fan really going to make a move? When will he leave? And after he leaves, who will take over as the Secretary of Ren County?" Zheng Gaofeng was the first to lose his patience and shifted the topic to work.
Li Zhexuan smiled meaningfully and said, "Gao Feng, I shouldn't be answering this question for you, logically speaking."
Zheng Gaofeng said with a smile: "Li Ge, do we still need to use that routine? Just say what you want to say."
Li Zhexuan took a look around, took a sip of wine and said: "Alright, since we're all our own people here, I'll speak directly. Comrade Fan Yugun's appointment as Vice Chairman of the Municipal Political Consultative Conference has basically been settled. The municipal government has already submitted the proposal to the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, and it's just waiting for approval from the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee."
Liu Siyuan understood that a small secondary deputy position, the vice chairman of the municipal CPPCC, would not enter the eyes of those provincial party leaders, it was just a matter of time.
Zheng Gaofeng immediately asked: "I also know this, but who will take over as Secretary of Ren County Committee?"
As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
