Chapter 1328: Arrival at the Provincial Committee

amb. I haven’t tried it myself, but I’ve seen others eat it.” 。I can't remember the names of the other dishes. 。I'm sorry, Director Ma, I can't introduce him to you. 。"Ma Kai was surprised and said, “..."We've finally made it to Yue!," Shu Miao woke up and seeing the city of Yue, exclaimed excitedly, but catching a glimpse of the strange phenomenon in the sky, she frowned, "Oh...what the heck is that!"

The driver, Yang Xuehu, also saw the strange clouds and tornadoes. Both were stunned: "Is this the end of the world" Fear flashed in the driver's eyes. 。Before coming, Xiao Zheng had prepared himself mentally, knowing that this trip to Guangdong would surely be perilous. He wasn't afraid, but his mind quickly flashed through the images of Xiao Jingyu, his child, and his parents, prompting him to say to himself, "Be brave and cautious." 。He looked at the sapling: “Sapling, where is your home We’ll take you back.” 。“The sapling said, “Where are you going I can go with you and lead the way. I know this place well. It’s all my territory. I’m familiar with all the sights, restaurants, and hotels.” 。Xiao Zheng said: "Shumiao, thank you" 。We have some errands to run now, and besides, this storm isn't exactly ideal for eating, drinking, and having fun! Tell us your address, and we'll take you back home. 。Xiao Zheng's voice was filled with determination. 。Shumiao heard that Xiao Zheng was determined to send her home, and she didn't want to be a bother, so she said, "My house is near the bar street by the Pearl River..." 。Xiao Zheng still had a vivid memory of that bar street. He had come here with Liu Shisen and Fang Ya to visit Secretary Xiong on the day, and they had gone for a stroll in the evening. 。The driver also said, "I know that place." 。"Just let me know when you get there, and I'll give you directions to the specific apartment complex!" Shu Miao said. "Okay." 。Then, the driver drove through the driving wind and rain towards the Pearl River. 。The sapling in the back seat turned to Xiao Zheng: "Let's exchange phone numbers, you can contact me anytime if anything happens in Guangdong!" Xiao Zheng originally thought that he would let the sapling directly exchange phone numbers with Yang Xuezhi. 。I thought that might be a bit too pretentious, so I said: "Me and Xuehu will both give you our numbers. If anything comes up, just call Xuehu and he'll tell me." 。"I know that," Sapling said, "you're the boss and you must be very busy usually." 。When the weather is nice, you can also contact me, I'll take you to explore Guangdong. 。“Xiao Zheng smiled and said, “Thank you, I hope this bad weather will clear up soon!”

The driver was truly quite resourceful and familiar with Yue Du. Driving the taxi left and right, he quickly arrived at the Zhu Jiang River bank, “Miss Shumiao, where do you live” Shumiao replied, “It's just over there in Haixinsha Garden!”“Wow, Shumiao, your family must be very wealthy!” The driver exclaimed with his extensive experience, “Haixinsha Garden is the most luxurious villa district in Yue Du. Those who live inside are either rich or noble!” Shumiao smiled and said, “I think it's just so-so.”

The driver smiled back and didn't say more. The car drove from the riverbank onto a slope-descending bridge leading to a long island covered with lush trees where villas were faintly visible. 。The wind and rain were fierce now, the river swelled and surged, but the island was clearly elevated. Apart from the trees swaying wildly, it hadn't been submerged at all. It was clear that when the island was developed, they had thoroughly considered the possibility of flooding. 。The car stopped at the entrance of "Haiting Sa Garden," but no one had an umbrella. 。As soon as the security guard at the door saw Shu Miao get out of the car, he hurriedly grabbed a black umbrella from inside and rushed out to help her hold it, ushering her inside. 。This is indeed a high-end villa area, and the services enjoyed are quite different from those in ordinary residential communities. 。Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu's house in the "Aiguohai" community in Jingzhou is considered quite good, but it's far from having such service. 。The sapling waved to Xiao Zheng and the others through the rain curtain as it was brought into the community. Xiao Zheng, Yang Xuěhǔ, and the driver also waved goodbye to her. Then, Xiao Zheng said, "Let's go" 。This young lady comes from a wealthy and noble family. 。"The driver said to them, "Mr. Fei, Mr. Tao, you two met such a nice girl on the road, it's really good luck! You should keep in touch with her in the future, that's right, it will be much easier for you all over Guangdong!"“That’s right” 。"Xiao Zheng also knew that the driver was well-intentioned and asked, “Master, what’s your surname We don't even know! I'll have Xuehu leave his number with you too. Maybe we'll be able to get in touch again in the future!” The driver said, "Okay, my surname is Tang, and my name is Haikuo" 。Xiao Zheng said: "Your name is really imposing! Tang Haiku, I remember it!" 。Driver Tang Hai Kuo said, “Boss, if you need to use a car frequently in the future, you can contact me. I can drive from Shantou to Guangdong for you. My two older children are also studying at university in Guangdong!” Xiao Zheng said, “Really! No wonder it’s so windy and rainy, and you still dare to come to Guangdong. Are you also thinking of your children” Tang Hai Kuo smiled: “You see through me, boss.” 。I'll go check on the kids now that I've brought you here. 。Then Xiao Zheng and Yang Xuehu finally understood why so many taxi drivers in Shantou City were unwilling to take this trip, but Tang Haikuo was willing. To see his own child must be the key factor, and by the way, make some money! Xiao Zheng said: "Poor parents all over the world!" Tang Haikuo smiled and said, "Where shall we go now" Xiao Zheng said, "Drive in the direction of the Provincial Committee compound!" Tang Haikuo glanced at Xiao Zheng from the rearview mirror: "You wouldn't be a leader in the Provincial Committee compound, would you I look at you, your temperament is different from that of a businessman, more like a young leader." 。"Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "I'm not from Yuezhou. I'm from somewhere else. I'm here to see someone in the provincial government." 。"Tang Hai Kuo nodded and said, "Oh, it's official business! Then I'll head towards the provincial committee compound." 。。Xiao Zheng picked up his phone and called the secretary of Yuezhou Provincial Party Secretary Xiong Qi. 。At first, Yang Jie didn't answer the phone. Xiao Zheng thought he must be busy and didn't even have time to connect the call. 。Xiao Zheng could clearly feel the car shaking more violently. Looking out the window, he saw many downed trees, billboards smashed onto the street, and cars hit by falling debris. The scene was quite chaotic. 。At this moment, Xiao Zheng's phone rang. Seeing it was Yang Jie, he quickly answered. 。Only Yang Jie's voice could be heard: "Good morning, Mayor Xiao." 。Just now, Secretary Xiong was holding a morning meeting, so I didn't answer. 。At this moment, Secretary Xiong is eating breakfast in his office. That's why I just got back to your call. 。Hearing that breakfast was ready, Xiao Zheng also suddenly realized he was hungry. 。"Well, I don't have time to deal with these trivial matters now. Xiao Zheng said: 'Section Chief Yang, I've arrived in Guangdong as well. I'll report to you.'" 。"Yang Jie was startled and asked, "Mayor Xiao, when did you arrive" Xiao Zheng said, "I just arrived." 。"Yang Jie thought for a moment and felt something was amiss. “How did you get here The flights stopped yesterday afternoon, and the trains also stopped running last night!”Xiao Zheng explained the situation briefly, and Yang Jie sighed, "It wasn't easy, Mayor Xiao. I'll report to Secretary Xiong immediately. You made it to Guangdong!"Xiao Zheng said, "Director Yang, if Secretary Xiong is very busy, please don't bother him." 。I'll find a place to stay first! I'll visit Secretary Xiong when he's free. 。Although Xiao Zheng had arrived in Guangdong, he didn't know what to do at the moment! He came here to investigate the relationship between his son Xiao Yuan's unusual behavior and the harsh weather conditions in Guangdong. 。Before reaching Yuezhou, there was only one thought in my mind: to rush to Yuedu as soon as possible. 。Now that I've arrived in Guangdong, caught in this raging storm, I suddenly realize I seem to have nothing I can do. 。He is not a leading official here and cannot directly participate in the flood control work against Typhoon. 。Strange clouds above the city, and what looked like a tornado sweeping across the distance, were destroying buildings and plants, but he could only watch, helpless. 。Yang Jie said, "Mayor Xiao, I definitely have to report your trip to Guangdong to Secretary Xiong! Please wait a moment, I'll call you back right away!" Xiao Zheng had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll wait for your call." 。Yang Jie hung up the phone and rushed toward Secretary Xiong's office, but when he reached the door, he stopped his hurried steps, straightened his short-sleeved shirt, and knocked calmly twice. 。Yang Jie didn't want to give his leader the impression of being flustered. With the current external situation urgent, the leader must be under immense pressure. As the leader's personal secretary, acting nervously would only add to the leader's burdens. He worked in an orderly and composed manner, which could also ease some worries in the leader's mind and add a touch of confidence. 。Only Secretary Xiong's voice could be heard saying, "Come in." 。Yang Jie, as usual, strolled in leisurely. 。At this time, Secretary Xiong finished the remaining two spoonfuls of congee in his one-time lunch box, took a sip of the red tea in his cup, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then asked, "Is there something" Yang Jie said, "Secretary Xiong, I just received a call from Mayor Xiao Zheng..." 。He said he had arrived in Yue'du. 。"Xiao Zheng is in Yue Du" Xiong Qi stood up from the sofa slightly excitedly, "Where is he now" Yang Jie reported: "He's in a taxi..." 。“Tell Xiao Zheng to come here right away, directly to my office.” 。"Yang Jie asked, "Secretary Xiong, you haven't had a good rest all night. Why don't you have breakfast and then take a two-hour nap It's not too late to let Mayor Xiao come over later. After all, in this situation, Mayor Xiao can't do much." 。" Xiong Qi hesitated for a moment, it was true that from last night until now, he hadn't had a good rest. He had just listened to the report at the morning meeting, and his whole body was indeed very tired." 。As of the latest report, the numbers of casualties, missing persons, and economic losses are all on the rise. 。At this moment, even sleep wouldn't come. Xiong Qi still said, "It's alright, I don't need to rest, let Mayor Xiao come!"

Yang Jie had no choice but to back out. He thought to himself, why would Secretary Xiong have such high hopes for Mayor Xiao

As Xiao Zheng's car got closer and closer to the Yuezhou Provincial Committee compound, his phone suddenly rang. It was Yang Jie: "Mayor Xiao, Secretary Xiong asks you to come to his office immediately. Would that be convenient" Xiao Zheng said, "Convenient, we'll be there right away" 。"Yang Jie said: “I’ll wait for you downstairs. How long will it be”

"About fifteen minutes." 。"Xiao Zheng said, "By the way, could you make us three breakfasts Just something filling, and pack one up for the driver." 。"Yang Jie smiled and said, “That's definitely no problem.” 。I brought breakfast and will be waiting for you at the gate of the provincial committee building. When entering the courtyard, you report my name, and I'll greet the armed police!he provincial committee also values Secretary Gu's point, which is why they appointed him as the Party secretary of the command department, such an important position. 。So, I personally think that anc...
