matter of anyone being at fault. " 。You're thinking, you wouldn't let Xiao Zheng apply for the deputy county magistrate position back then, and instead had him apply for the deputy director position...Though hope was nearly gone, Xiao Zheng still refused to give up. 。Li Haiyan felt that her master was truly too hard-working. She gave up her own face, dignity, and everything else for the sake of An County and the people. 。Li Haiyan knew that if it were about his own promotion, Xiao Zheng would definitely not be so persistent. 。Li Haiyan even felt a pang of sympathy for Xiao Zheng. 。Li Haiyan pursed her lips and nodded, saying, "Master, I will definitely find out for you." 。"Xiao Zheng believed in Li Haiyan's cleverness, since she had promised, he was sure she could do it. " Then I'll wait for your news." 。At this moment, the door to Xiao Jingyu's office opened, "Xiao Zheng, come here for a moment," 。Xiao Jingyu heard Xiao Zheng's voice in the office and came out to call him. 。Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Good, Mayor Xiao." 。Then, Xiao Zheng followed Xiao Jingyu into the office. 。Xiao Jingyu walked to the sofa and turned to ask, "How did it go" Xiao Zheng said, "I reported to Mayor Hong again and stated the pros and cons clearly, but Mayor Hong still didn't accept my suggestion and was unwilling to interfere with the matter of 'firecrackers'." 。“Xiao Jingyu let out a soft sigh, and then said, “This was to be expected.” 。About this matter, we can only put it on hold for now. 。I called you here, and there's another matter. 。"Xiao Zheng looked at Xiao Jingyu, “What”

Xiao Jingyu spoke a little hastily, “Just now, Fang Ya called me. She said she hasn't been able to sleep lately and hasn't been feeling well…” When Xiao Zheng heard this, he gently tapped the table with his fingers, "Oh, it's my fault! I’ve been looking for the old Chinese medicine practitioner Zhou Muyun for Director Fang for several months now. I have actually found some clues, but these past two days because I've been so busy, I’ve put off bringing Director Fang to Jingzhou…" 。Xiao Jingyu was a little surprised: "You've already found Dr. Zhou Not the guy who 'resurrected snakes', right" Xiao Zheng said, "Of course not" 。That Zhou Muyun is a con man, we have already detained him. 。In fact, the "Zhou Muyun" that Director Fang is looking for, I haven't found it yet. 。But, in the old town, I found a skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, perhaps they could be of help to your superior. 。"Xiao Jingyu looked at Xiao Zheng and felt that what he said was very certain, so she said: "Then okay, I'll get Director Fang over right away. She hasn't slept well for two weeks in a row, this can't go on." 。"Shall I send a car to pick her up" Xiao Zheng asked. "No need, she has someone who can drive." 。"Xiao Zheng said: "Alright, let her come quickly." 。I helped to get in touch with that TCM practitioner. 。Then, Xiao Jingyu called Fang Ya, and Fang Ya also said that she would come from Hangzhou immediately. 。Xiao Zheng called Su Menglan, who lived in Laomen Dong, to ask if she was free. His friend had come from Hangzhou. 。Su Menglan said she had another hour before getting off work, Xiao Zheng said: "Then it's just right" 。"Su Menglan's voice was soft and delicate, characteristic of a Jiangnan girl: "Then come over here." 。Xiao Zheng said: “Thank you, Dr. Su.” 。Su Menglan said, "You don't need to be polite with me, after all, you were drugged by me twice." 。Xiao Zheng recalled that afternoon, at Su Menglan's residence, he had been bewitched twice by her brewed "red tea". 。This was also unprecedented in Xiao Zheng's life, and it probably left Su Menglan with an interesting impression. 。Sometimes, people are connected by these unspoken little secrets, forming a bond that is unbreakable. 。Xiao Zheng also said: "He's a very good friend of mine, Dr. Su must help take a good look!" Su Menglan said: "This doesn't need County Magistrate Xiao to explain, I will do my best" 。That soft and tender voice is so comforting that it soothes one to the very core. 。 。After making the call, Xiao Zheng said to Xiao Jingyu: "I've made arrangements." 。She will be home an hour after work, waiting for Fang Chief to come over from the provincial city. 。Xiao Jingyu said: “That's good.” 。Let's go there together later. 。"Xiao Zheng said: "Good" 。Just as the two had come to an agreement, Xiao Jingyu's phone rang. 。Xiao Jingyu glanced at his phone, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. 。Xiao Zheng looked at Xiao Jingyu's expression and said, "Mayor Xiao, should I go out first" Even in the office, Xiao Zheng still addressed her as "Mayor Xiao." 。Xiao Jingyu shook his head and said, "No need, I'll just take a call." 。Xiao Jingyu stood up from her seat and walked to the window. Today she was wearing a black dress with a square neckline, a belt in a brown tone around her waist. When she turned her back, her slender figure and elegant yet fashionable aura were fully displayed. 。Xiao Zheng suddenly had an impulse, wanting to walk over and hug her from behind. 。However, doing so is absolutely inappropriate. 。Xiao Zheng strongly reminded himself in his heart that no matter what, he couldn't overstep the bounds in the office. 。Just then, Xiao Jingyu called out to the other side, "Father, is something the matter"

"Father" Xiao Zheng had never met Xiao Jingyu's father, and he hadn't even heard Xiao Jingyu mention his father. 。Every time I accompany Xiao Jingyu back to Hangzhou, he always stays at the Lakeside National Hotel and doesn't go home. 。This gives one the feeling that Xiao Jingyu's father seems to never care about his daughter. 。Sometimes Xiao Zheng would guess, was there some irreconcilable conflict between Xiao Jingyu and her father But what kind of conflict was it Xiao Zheng couldn't quite imagine. 。However, today Xiao Jingyu's father took the initiative to call, and Xiao Zheng couldn't help but feel curious. 。。Then, Xiao Jingyu just listened to the other party talking. 。After a while, Xiao Jingyu said, "Don't let him come over... I don't have time to see him... I really don't have time, I'm busy..." Just then the other party said something else, and Xiao Jingyu suddenly turned around and looked at Xiao Zheng. 。Xiao Zheng didn't know why Xiao Jingyu was looking at him, so he gave him a questioning look. 。But Xiao Jingyu didn't signal him to do anything, but turned back and looked out the window: "Well, I'll explain things here, and I'll be back as soon as possible." 。After that, Xiao Jingyu very simply hung up the phone. 。Seeing her unhappy expression, Xiao Zheng asked, "Is it your father" Xiao Jingyu nodded: "Yes" 。Xiao Zheng asked again, “Sending you back Is there something important” Xiao Jingyu said, “It’s something you don’t need to know about.” 。Xiao Zheng, I originally wanted to accompany Fang Ya to see a Chinese medicine doctor, but I have to rush back to Hangzhou temporarily. I can only trouble you with Fang Ya's affairs. 。Xiao Zheng saw that Xiao Jingyu's expression was a bit heavy, but she didn't tell him what it was. It was obviously a family matter, and Xiao Zheng didn't dare to ask. 。He said, "Leave the matter concerning Director Fang's companion to me." 。> Besides, is there anything else you need me to do Let me know if you have any other requests.。"Xiao Jingyu said: 'That's all there is.'" 。I have to leave immediately. 。"Okay, let's stay in touch." 。Xiao Jingyu nodded. 。Xiao Zheng came out of Xiao Jingyu's office and said something to Li Haiyan. 。Li Haiyan was immediately called in by Xiao Jingyu, he must have something to tell Li Haiyan. 。Xiao Zheng got off the elevator and happened to glance at the building of the Municipal Committee. 。Xiao Zheng suddenly remembered what his senior brother, Zhang Yihong, had told him, Chen Hong had invested 300,000 yuan with the village head. It was necessary to remind her to withdraw the money as soon as possible. 。Chen Hong's organization department was right in the building where the city committee was located. Xiao Zheng paused for a moment, then took out his phone and sent Chen Hong a text message. 。The landlord might default, it's recommended to withdraw the invested money as soon as possible to avoid losing everything. 。Xiao Zheng wasn't going to call anymore, sending this text message felt like he had done his best. 。However, he thinks Chen Hong is unlikely to listen to him. 。For anything, Chen Hong has her own opinion and way of doing things. She is very stubborn and generally won't listen to others' advice. 。Initially, she defied her parents' advice when she was with him. Later, she insisted on going to Tan Zhen to build connections, ignoring Xiao Zheng's counsel. Now, as she navigates between city-level officials, she still wants to reconcile with Xiao Zheng, a wishful thought of hers alone. 。It seemed to her that if she wanted to do something, she would do it and succeed. 。She probably thinks the same about "selling herself." She thinks it's a way to make money and there's no risk involved, so she'll probably keep doing it. 。After sending the text message, Xiao Zheng didn't have any hope that she would listen to him. 。However, after a while, Chen Hong's text message came back: "Thank you" 。I will consider 。As for the text message, "Besides, when you have time, let's chat privately," Xiao Zheng didn't reply. 。Xiao Zheng got into the car and told Sha Hai to go to the old city. 。He wants to go wait for Fangya ahead of time. 。Sha Hai was driving through the main thoroughfare of Jingzhou City. 。Sitting at the back, Xiao Zheng thought again about the phone call Xiao Jingyu had received today. 。He wondered what Xiao Jingyu's father had said to her. Why did Xiao Jingyu refuse to return to Hangzhou at first, but then agreed to go immediately later 。Is she just going home Or is she meeting someone What's actually going on with Xiao Jingyu's family And how bad is the relationship between Xiao Jingyu and his father Because he cares, Xiao Zheng really wants to know: because he cares, his head is full of these questions right now. 。However, Ke Xiaojing kept all this to herself. 。Logically speaking, the two of them had long been more than ordinary friends. Why wouldn't Xiao Jingyu treat him as one of his own and share some of his worries with him This made Xiao Zheng feel a little depressed 。Therefore, after arriving at the old city, Xiao Zheng didn't want to stay in the car and be bothered by this boredom. He said to Sha Hai: "Find a parking spot, and you accompany me for a walk around this old town." 。Perhaps it was because he had crossed the river here or drank the traditional Chinese medicine soup, Xiao Zheng felt a particular interest in the fireworks of this old district. 。Take a stroll, get some fresh air. 。As evening settled, bringing cool air, the two parked their car and walked into the old streets and alleys. They strolled along, smoking as they went. 。The smoke billowed out, carried by the wind, as a flock of pigeons flew overhead. 。Xiao Zheng discovered that in the depths of the alley, some dwellings were truly old, dilapidated, and unsafe, posing a safety hazard to residents. 。But this place has its own life, culture; it's the film beneath the city. 。If there's a chance, it could really be transformed and upgraded into a distinctive tourist attraction. 。This idea, unbeknownst to him, had taken root in Xiao Zheng's heart. 。Walking and walking, the two of them became a little hungry. They were considering whether to have a bowl of noodles first, when Fangya's phone call came. She said she had arrived in the old city center. 。y didn't you say anything"Xiao Jingyu stopped in his tracks. 。Xiao Zheng said to Li Haiyan: "I'm going to report something to Mayor Xiao." 。"I don't know if Mayor Xiao has time"Xiao Jingyu nodded to...
