Chapter 5 Taking office
Chapter 5 Taking office
With the reason that Feng Ao came all the way and needed to rest, Feng Ao didn't meet Feng City's leadership until the evening of the second day.
The location of the welcome banquet is Chaoyang Building, the best restaurant in Fengshi.
It was the mayor's assistant Zhang who came to pick him up, and the secretary's secretary Deng didn't show up. I don't know if it was on behalf of the municipal party committee that he had given up trying to win over this unscrupulous deputy mayor.Thinking about it, at least he is the newly appointed deputy mayor. He doesn't want to look at his own position when he arrives in the field. Instead, he follows the steps arranged by others. He either doesn't care about this position, or he has no temper and no means. Well done.
Either way, no one likes it.
Secretary assistants have their own social circle, and Li Hui did not share the same room with Feng Ao, but was dragged into another box by the enthusiastic Assistant Zhang.
Li Hui's popularity has always been good, but he didn't do well in catering to his superiors. However, when he was with his former boss in the imperial capital, he got along very well with the secretary assistant next to him. The reason was inquired from the information of the Fengshi team.
He drank a few glasses of wine, talking and laughing with everyone, very harmonious.What he was worried about right now was his own deputy mayor, and he didn't know if he would mess things up by ignoring others at the dinner table.In the past two days, he has finally understood that Feng Ao is not a person who can yell at others with a cold face, but he has a big temper!
If Li Hui sees Feng Aofei who is holding a wine glass to both sides, he will stare his eyes out of the window!
Facts have proved that Li Hui's worries are completely unnecessary.
Although he, Feng Ao, is used to madness, in his previous life he led the Demon Cult, and was regarded by the world as a villain who did all kinds of evil, so naturally there is no need to show anyone's face and lower his figure.But now that the time is not with others, he has always been a person who can afford to let go, and he will never cause trouble for himself because of such meaningless things.
Feng Ao has his own plan, since he wants to make Fengshi the first step for him to start from scratch, it is indispensable for these people present to build a good relationship, how can he not understand even this care?
After three glasses of wine, Feng Ao's face turned red from the smell of alcohol, and his smiling face looked a bit refined.Gentle and handsome, with a strong drinking capacity, this image made the whole group feel a little less wary of this outsider from the capital.
Mayor Han is fat in his middle age. He stands there as if he wants to show his size. When he smiles, his face is also kind.At this time, he patted Feng Ao's shoulder and said affectionately: "Brother Zheng came to our Fengshi for the first time, if there is anything you are not used to, you must tell my brother, and if you need help, just ask! This life has been taken care of, and things are done. It's also more powerful, isn't it?"
A few people agreed one after another, and they exchanged cups and cups with concern, making the dinner table even more lively.
On the contrary, the thin secretary Fang didn't say much from beginning to end, although he didn't neglect the protagonist of today's banquet, after all, he couldn't compare to Secretary Han's warmth.
At the dinner table, there is also a clear distinction between the Chu River and the Han Dynasty. It is not difficult to see that the internal struggles in Fengcheng's system have reached a fever pitch, and they don't even bother to cover up him as an outsider.Mayor Han and his subordinates seemed to have the intention of wooing him, and Secretary Fang and his team were also very polite to him. It seemed that he hadn't made a clear decision on his side, and he meant to be included in the camp, but the intention of waiting and watching was more obvious.
Feng Ao was clear in his heart, and when Secretary Fang answered the phone to leave the meeting, he didn't say anything to keep him. He heard Mayor Han say: "Brother Zheng, don't mind, Lao Fang is always busy, and I can't keep him when something happens. I didn't intend to neglect you." He didn't express it at the time.
After nearly three hours of eating, Secretary Fang and his team had almost left, and Mayor Han also left. Yu Changen, Director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau of Feng City, Song Weidong, Director of the Propaganda Bureau, and their secretaries continued to entertain distant guests.
The hosts had already made arrangements for this kind of thing before, Feng Ao heard that they wanted to go to the Fenghuang clubhouse, and declined on the excuse that he was tired.Although he didn't know what Fenghuang clubhouse was doing for a living, but there were only a few things around, beauties and wine, he was not in the mood to enjoy these in a sentence of hidden witty words.
Director Song of the Propaganda Bureau said: "That's right, it's up to me to handle this matter! Since Mayor Zheng is tired, let's go to the clubhouse to squeeze our shoulders, wash our feet and relax, so we can sleep well at night!" Bureau Chief Yu also said that this is a good idea, and the masseurs in Fenghuang clubhouse have nothing to say about their skills!
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Feng Ao agreed.
Minister Song was very talkative, and told him many stories about the building and the street along the way.He is a native of Feng City, and it is not easy to work hard to reach this position in the local area. I heard that his father-in-law's family is a local wealthy businessman, which gave him a lot of support.
The ones who gave them the massage were three tall and beautiful jjj beauties. Their slender hands touched the man's naked back. After a while, there was a half-push and half-action scene. After the comparison, they closed their eyes as soon as they lay down. The motionless Feng Ao seemed too serious.
The beautiful woman who gave him a massage made teasing gestures at first, but later saw that Feng Ao didn't respond, so she gave him a massage honestly. No one is born to want to be taken advantage of.
Although Song and Yu said they didn't stop their hands, their eyes were not idle, they kept watching Feng Ao's performance.Seeing that he is so dishonest, he has his own considerations under his displeasure.
Unable to figure out whether Feng Ao was serious or defensive, Director Yu said, "Brother Zheng, are you satisfied with this girl?"
Only then did Feng Ao say, "The workmanship is good." However, it was still much worse than the people in the Demon Palace. With the mentality that chatting is better than nothing, Feng Ao did not show any dissatisfaction, and said to the massage lady: "Focus on it."
Song and Yu looked at each other, Director Song looked up and down at Feng Ao, who was still closed, and said, "Brother Zheng, you came from the capital alone? When will my brothers and sisters come to Feng City, please let me know in advance." , or let us take care of it."
Feng Ao replied casually: "She is abroad, will she return to China soon?"
Go abroad?
Director Song asked again: "You are only a few years younger than me. You should have children, right? What kind of books are you studying?"
Feng Ao answered every question: "I have a son who is almost twenty years old and is studying abroad with his mother." At this point, he didn't bother these people to find a way to ask, and simply explained: "My wife is here. I work in a foreign company, and I was transferred abroad a few years ago, so I don’t always come back during the holidays. I’m a loner, and she’s afraid that I won’t be able to raise my son, so she sent her son abroad too. I’m in Fengcheng, Beijing It’s one thing to live in a city, and it’s a matter of life to support yourself.”
They were all nonsense words, or what happened to his children from an old man who played chess during his hospitalization.But he spoke sincerely, and when he spoke, he pointed his finger at where the massage lady should apply force. It was completely without thinking, and he said it with a lot of dissatisfaction and helplessness, which made Song and Yu [-]% believe it.
That's right, if the family is a little bit capable, how could they be sent to this chaotic place in the southwest at such an age?It is still the deputy mayor of Feng City who has no real status at all. You must know that besides this one, there are two other deputy mayors in Feng City!
After a massage, both the hostesses were finally satisfied. Feng Ao and his assistant Li Hui were also sent back to the hotel.Li Hui had been mentioned by Feng Ao before, but he only mentioned his identity. Li Hui, who thought that he came down to be gilded, only thought that he didn't want to be affected by the bad reputation in the capital, so he didn't ask Song Yu's secretary to get anything. useful information.
The cutscene has also passed, and the next day is the day when Feng Ao will officially go to work in the municipal government.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Feng Ao arrived at the office on time, neither early nor late.Someone had already been waiting for him, and it was Assistant Zhang who received him. He brought two people with him, saying that they were the secretary for the deputy mayor, and asked Feng Ao to choose one of them to assist in the work.Feng Ao didn't take a closer look, and pointed to one casually.
Everyone is brought before him, so there is still room for him to choose?If it's not this person's eyeliner, it will be that person's eyeliner, it makes no difference to Feng Ao.
On the contrary, Li Hui's position of absolute assistant was snatched away, and he felt quite disappointed. After thinking about it, there is no one close to Feng Ao in this Fengshi, and this secretary does not know who sent him What do you do!After thinking about it, I feel full of enthusiasm, and I am determined to keep an eye on this new secretary, so as not to make any nasty things that are not good for them!
The former deputy mayor left in a hurry, so it was impossible to do a good job handover. Fortunately, he didn't have any important things at hand, so the capable Secretary Wu summed up what Feng Ao had to do in a few words.
After reporting the work, before leaving, Secretary Wu hesitated for a moment and said to Feng Ao: "I don't know if Mayor Zheng knows something."
Feng Ao followed the good advice: "What's the matter?"
Secretary Wu explained: "It's the 70th birthday of the Zhou family in Fengshi, and it's just a few days away. You just came, but you have to prepare for the birthday of Mr. Zhou, and the Zhou family will send you an invitation."
The Zhou family in Fengshi?
Seeing Feng Ao's puzzled face, Secretary Wu thoughtfully told him about the high status of Fengshi Zhou's family in Fengshi, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they are local snakes.The Zhou family started out as a businessman in steel, and now the family has a large business covering a wide range of businesses, and [-]% of the Feng City government's tax revenue is paid by the Zhou family.And this week, the Zhou family is not only the richest man in Feng City, but also has children who serve on the Standing Committee of the province, which is extremely important.
After introducing these, Secretary Wu finally said: "One more thing, the little granddaughter of the Zhou family is our Secretary Fang's prospective daughter-in-law, and the marriage will happen next year."
Hearing this, Feng Ao smiled at Secretary Wu, expressing that he understood what to do.
Feng City is not comparable to the capital city, but the political struggle is not lighter than the capital city, it can be said to be more rampant.Which one in the Forty-Nine City has nothing to do with the other party?And at the feet of the Son of Heaven, even a little incident would be magnified countless times and become a national event.Once it is affected, it becomes a radiating point, and a group of people will not get well regardless of the government and the opposition.This is also the reason why people in the capital are fighting to the death in secret, but they are polite to everyone on the surface.
But in such a place, it is a corner, at least it will not be in the focus of the people all the time, so it is natural to worry a lot.
Not to mention mayor Han and other dragons crossing the river, there are local snakes as powerful as the Zhou family that can fight against the municipal government. Listening to the details of Li Hui's inquiring, one can also think that the former deputy mayor who was dismissed before was undoubtedly the victim of this internal strife.
Sure enough, Feng Ao received the invitation within a few days.
After reading it, Feng Ao casually threw it aside, and called Secretary Wu to prepare a decent congratulatory gift for him.No matter which side Secretary Wu is in, there is nothing to say about his work.He is familiar with the humanities and habits of local politics, which is much better than Feng Ao and Li Hui, who have not yet fully understood the various forces in Feng City!
On the day of the birthday banquet, before getting off the car, Secretary Wu specially said to Feng Ao: "Mr. Zhou is old-fashioned, bold and generous, and likes to make friends. Mayor Zheng should not miss this opportunity."
There was a long queue of cars parked on both sides of the road, and the ostentation was grand. The people passing by could tell that they were not ordinary people even if they were unfamiliar, which showed the Zhou family's status in Feng City.
And the Zhou family's style also echoed Secretary Wu's bold and generous love to make friends. Just look at the red carpet from the gate to the feet of the guests, and the guests come and go. The faces were not left out in the slightest.
The third son of the Zhou family and the two grandchildren who greeted the guests outside the door saw Feng Ao who got out of the car at a glance. His refined temperament and handsome appearance caught the attention of thousands of people at a glance.Before Wednesday's doubts appeared, the housekeeper on the left had already introduced him in a low voice. Isn't it the new deputy mayor who took over the dead man's stick?
Taking a second look on Wednesday, he greeted him with a smile: "This must be Mayor Zheng. He really is a distinguished guest from the capital. He is much more luxurious than us!"
Feng Ao nodded, "Congratulations, I'm a little polite, and I'm bothering the family."
He said this politely, but a few people didn't think it was strange.Secretary Wu was telling the truth. Mr. Zhou was advocating antiquity, and many of the Zhou family's children secretly said that none of the antiques in his family were older than Mr. Zhou!Mr. Zhou's style is not difficult to find out in Fengshi. In the past, some people even memorized the Four Books and Five Classics for several days just to say a word to the old man!
Hearing such words at this time, Wednesday just thought he was opportunistic, so he couldn't help but look at him more, and said: "It's too polite, you can come to make us flourish."
After some politeness, Feng Ao entered Zhou's house.
At such a birthday banquet, Feng Ao only thought of himself as an outsider, and he was just going through the motions with the crowd, but he never expected that he would meet someone here who would never appear here!
