Chapter Seventy Some Expectations

  Liu Siyuan didn't want to go back to the town for the time being, so he contacted Zheng Gaofeng. The latter laughed heartily and said: "I've been waiting for a chance to get together with you properly, where are you now? I'll drive over to pick you up, once we're in the county seat, just follow your brother."

  Liu Siyuan didn't wait for long before seeing a Santana stop in front of him, Zheng Gaofeng was sitting in the back row, after he got on the car, he said to the driver: "Go to Zhuyuan."

  The Bamboo Garden is a family restaurant located in the northeast corner of the county town, with an elegant environment, especially after entering the courtyard where many bamboo trees are planted, hence the name. Zheng Gaofeng is obviously a regular here, familiar with the road and leading Liu Siyuan into a private room, which is located at the deepest part of the restaurant, with good privacy.

  It was rare for Zheng Da Gongzi to not have a single woman accompany him, and he simply ate his meal, which greatly surprised Liu Siyuan as it didn't match his personality.

  "This damn place, I can't stay here for another day." Zheng Gaofeng started complaining as soon as he sat down.

  "Zheng Ge, what's wrong? Didn't things go well at the county committee?" Liu Siyuan asked tentatively.

  "Alas, it's not just dissatisfaction, it's simply like living a year in a day. Old Fan controls everything, every department in the county has his men, and among our four deputy directors in the Public Security Bureau, three are his people. How can we live like this?" Zheng Gaofeng said with a big gulp of water.

  "Isn't there another deputy director and a political commissar?" Liu Siyuan asked uncomfortably.

  "Although Deputy Director Li is relatively obedient because of his father's relationship, it's still not enough." Zheng Gaofeng said with unusual depression.

  "Zheng Ge, just a little bit at a time, if you don't listen, I'll replace you." Liu Siyuan said.

  "TMD! You think I don't want to, but it's not that easy. The deputy director position isn't something I can decide on my own. To be honest, even if we find an excuse to get rid of one person, the replacement will still be someone from Old Huan's faction. You know this as well as I do. Right now, the entire county committee is basically controlled by him alone." Zheng Gaofeng slammed his hand on the table and spoke with a tone of hatred, his flabby cheeks quivering in a way that was quite disturbing to behold.

  He and Liu Siyuan are actually the same, originally also full of ambition to go down to Cheng'en County, hoping to rely on his official identity, make a big deal, solve several major cases, achieve some results and return to continue promotion, but unexpectedly came up and suffered a few setbacks, was suppressed and unable to move, naturally there is no good temper.

  "Didn't there even be a single dissenting opinion at the Standing Committee meeting?" Liu Siyuan asked in surprise.

  "Nonsense! Even Jian Zhiqiu listens to him in everything, who else dares to fight with him?" Zheng Gaofeng sighed.

  At this point, Liu Siyuan also didn't have any good suggestions for him. After thinking for a while, he said: "I don't think so, Jian County Magistrate doesn't seem like the kind of person who is willing to be subordinate... Besides, you can find Secretary Li of the Municipal Party Committee."

  Zheng Gaofeng shook his head and said, "Li Zhexuan is now a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, he can't even protect himself. But I heard that recently he has gotten close to Mayor Yan, so maybe he can barely compete with Secretary Zhang. As for when he will actually rely on him, who knows when that will be? As for Old Jian, what you said makes some sense. I've been thinking that his gentle appearance doesn't seem very manly, but people like that are probably more ambitious and also more treacherous. He's definitely the type to stab someone in the back. Alright, let's listen to your idea, I'll go probe him." He paused for a moment before changing the subject, "Siyuan, how have you been doing in Beixi Town?"

  "It's okay, I'm quite lucky and Director Wu is still cooperative with the work." Liu Siyuan said after choosing his words carefully.

  "Wu Weiqiang is a hard nut to crack, never mind. If there's anything you need my help with, just ask, don't be polite, as long as I can do it." Zheng Gaofeng said warmly, patting him on the shoulder.

  "By the way, can Brother Zheng help to assign a more considerate police station chief for Beixi Town?" This was actually suggested by Fang Xinyi over the phone a few days ago. Fang Xinyi's idea is that the party controls personnel matters, so as the town party committee secretary, he can let Wu Weiqiang handle specific administrative tasks on his own, but must grasp personnel issues firmly, otherwise, how can credibility be established? Of course, personnel matters are sensitive issues, even the top leader cannot act arbitrarily, so a breakthrough is needed. Therefore, she suggested that he use his relationship with Zheng Gaofeng to at least get control of the police station first. The police station is in charge of public security and criminal cases in the area, and it's also a very important department. Being able to grasp control of the town's police station can also intimidate many people.

  "This is easy, if I can't even handle a police station chief, it would be embarrassing to go back home. You go back to town and wait, tomorrow when you come back, I'll arrange for you to go." Zheng Gaofeng said loudly with a pat on his chest after hearing the request.

  As he drank more and more, Zheng Gaofeng gradually revealed his true nature. With a lewd smile on his face, he said: "Speaking of which, I've been to Chengen before, and I've managed to hook up with three women. This trip is worth it."

  Liu Siyuan only felt three black lines on his forehead, but he had to follow him and say: "Zheng Ge is mighty, I believe they are all beauties."

  "No, no, can't compare to your Ouyang Qian or Tian Fang's Lu Xiaojun, but hey, there are two that are extremely familiar, the skills are absolutely great and they're open-minded... whatever way you want to play is fine..."

  The following content was a bit lacking in nutrition, Liu Siyuan listened with his eyes wide and mouth agape. He had never imagined that there were so many ways to play with women, it really broadened his horizons. Especially some of the content was extremely perverted, Zheng Gaofeng was indeed a top-notch lecher. Later on, he also found out that Zheng Da Gongzi eventually succeeded in getting Shen Yiyang into bed with him. If not for considering their relationship and keeping it temporarily secret, he would have really wanted to bring her over to show Liu Siyuan, to flaunt it a bit.

  Two people finished eating in the bamboo garden, Zheng Gaofeng estimated that he was so infatuated that he actually wanted to take Liu Siyuan together to find his mistress, and the three of them would travel together, which shocked Liu Siyuan, who repeatedly refused, and finally used Ouyang Qian's name as an excuse to get away.

  The sky was already late, so he simply stayed at the hotel in the county town. Beixi Town also has a designated reception hotel in the county town, although it is only three-star, but as the party secretary, he was arranged to have the best room, and the conditions were not bad either. The money didn't need him to pay, directly signed by the town party committee will be settled uniformly.

  Before going to bed at night, he still had to make three daily routine calls as usual, namely Fang Xinyi, Ouyang Qian and Chen Jun. To say that there were too many women was also making him unbearable, and what was even more unbearable was that none of them were by his side, really needing something when not one could be found... Especially after finally establishing a romantic relationship with Fang Xinyi, they were separated from the very beginning, and every night they could only relieve their longing for each other through phone calls.

  Fang Xinyu is still the same, as always concerned about his work, occasionally mentioning her own situation in the provincial development and reform commission. From her description, Liu Siyuan learned that she was also doing very well, quite appreciated by the leadership, which was expected given her intelligence and talent.

  Chen Jun's style is slightly different, he is not very willing to talk about work after get off work, and prefers to talk about romantic and philosophical topics, which makes Liu Siyuan feel a bit out of tune, but apparently she enjoys it.

  However, Ou Yang Qian's phone call that night gave him a shot in the arm. Her cousin was quite interested in his proposal for the Beixi Town Green Vegetable Project and wanted to discuss it with him. Then she said on the phone, "Why don't you just come back to Hanjiang tomorrow?" Liu Siyuan was moved by her words and thought that there were no urgent matters for him to attend to in the town for the time being, so he might as well go back to Hanjiang to take a look.

  At the same time, I also have some expectations for certain things... Please collect again...
