Chapter 370: Exploring the Mountain Path

, he still needs to do his work in his own county well, so he sent a text message to Hao Qi: "County Mayor Hao, I'm really sorry" 。This week has been too busy, I might have to visit later!"Then, Xiao...Back to the Anxian government office, it was well past 10 pm. 。Xiao Zheng thought to himself, today he had made Song Jiajiu wait. 。Actually, Song Jia could have just told him over the phone, but she insisted on waiting for him in the office. 。Xiao Zheng still couldn't figure out what Song Jia was trying to do at this point.

As the car drove back to An County, passing by the main street, Xiao Zheng saw a soup dumpling stall for late-night snacks with people queuing up. 。Xiao Zheng couldn't help but ask Xiao Zhong, "This soup dumpling shop is doing pretty well, haven't you tried it" Xiao Zhong replied, "This shop has both breakfast and late-night offerings. I've been here twice, and the taste is really good." 。"Xiao Zheng said, "Go buy 50 soup dumplings. I'll take them to the publicity department. Buy as many as you want to eat yourself." 。Xiao Zhong parked his car in a roadside parking space and ran to buy a bag of soup dumplings. The car was immediately filled with the aroma of soup dumplings. 。However, both of them had eaten quite a bit for dinner and weren't hungry. 。The car came to a stop on the platform of the An County government building, and the lights in the hall were somewhat dim. 。After all, it was late at night and most of the cadres had already gone home. 。Xiao Zheng's mood was slightly anxious. He took the soup dumplings and quickly walked towards the county committee. The soles of his leather shoes made a crisp "tap, tap, tap" sound, as if each step landed on his pulse. 。Xiao Zheng arrived at the county publicity department, but he saw that several office lights were still on. 。Xiao Zheng walked towards the office of the head of the Party Department. Song Jia, the head of the propaganda department, should have heard the footsteps and came out of the office to open the door. Seeing him, she smiled and said, "County Head Xiao is here"

In Xiao Zheng's impression, Song Jia's beauty was very recognizable. 。What was most distinctive about her was her mouth, which was a bit larger than usual, with full, luscious red lips. 。At this moment, her smile brings out a fiery, red-lipped feeling. 。Today, she wore a celadon silk blouse with lace trim, which made her complexion even more radiant, like a flower in full bloom. 。Xiao Zheng was in a good mood and smiled, "General Song summoned me, so of course I'd come!" 。I brought some snacks for you guys. 。"Saying that, he raised the bag in his hand." 。At this time, a girl from the Propaganda Department's office also heard the sound and walked out. Xiao Zheng was not familiar with her, guessing that she should be the director or deputy director of the Propaganda Department's office. 。This girl was very clever. As soon as she saw Xiao Zheng, she smiled brightly and called out, "Mr. County Magistrate Xiao." 。Within the county government offices, Xiao Zheng, as a standing deputy county magistrate, might not know everyone else, but everyone else definitely knows him. 。Xiao Zheng politely said: "Hello" 。"This is Zhou Zhiyan, the director of our Publicity Department office. You can call her Xiao Zhou." 。"Xiao Zheng felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment. He couldn't help but take a serious look at her. The girl had eyebrows that curved into her temples, and her forehead and eyebrows were particularly beautiful. Her skin was also very white and delicate, but he really hadn't had much contact with her before, so he said: "Hello, Director Xiao Zhou." 。These dumplings are all yours. 。Zhou Zhiyan took the steamed bun from Xiao Zheng's hand and turned her gaze to her leader, Song B.u. Chang, seeking his guidance on how to proceed. 。Song Jia smiled and said, "County Magistrate Xiao cares so much about us. You give me and County Magistrate Xiao each five, and the rest can be given to the comrades who are working overtime." 。Zhou Zhiyan nodded and said, "Yes, Song Commander." 。And said to Xiao Zheng, "Thank you, County Magistrate Xiao." 。Xiao Zheng smiled. 。Song Jia looked at Xiao Zheng and said, “County Magistrate Xiao, please come to my office.” 。"Well, I've never been to Song Department Head's office before," Xiao Zheng said, "Might as well take a look." 。...just didn't expect it to be in the evening... 。"Song Jia's smile was even brighter as she said, "Whether you come in the morning or the evening, it's all the same." 。The County Committee Publicity Department was located on the fifth floor of the County Committee Building. The office space was similar in size to Xiao Zheng's, but Xiao Zheng's office was a large open space facing south, while Song Jia's faced both south and west. Her desk was also made of oak, with a vase of sunflowers on it. Although it was evening and they were no longer in full bloom, the sunflowers still emanated a vibrant energy that impressed Xiao Zheng. 。Her desk was clean and tidy, with almost no piles of files like Xiao Zheng's. On the side cabinet by her seat were several upright blue folders, showing that all the files had been organized. 。Behind the glass window, there are quite a few policy theory books, as well as some popular books such as "Grit" and "Seeing," which reveal her preferences as an intellectual woman. 。Xiao Zheng gave the room a cursory glance. It was neat and tidy, spotless. His impression of Song Jia improved slightly. 。He couldn't help but exclaim, "Commander Song, you have such charisma, and your office is very tastefully decorated!" 。"Song Jia blushed slightly and said, "Thank you, County Magistrate Xiao, for the compliment." 。Actually, I'm not very sophisticated. I just have a passing interest in everything, but I never really delve deep into anything. 。"Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "That's the best way to be a leader. You have strong learning ability but don't limit yourself to one field." 。If you just focus on one single point, you can only be an expert, not a leader. 。"Song Jia pointed to the light-colored sofa by the window and smiled, "Don't just stand there talking, Xiao Xianshang, please sit down." 。"With that, she led Xiao Zheng to sit on the sofa. It was evening now, and though they couldn't see the scenery outside, they could make out the faint outline of the small hills in the glow of the lights beyond the window." 。Song Jia was wearing a straight-leg pencil skirt in a shade of ginger. When she sat down, she habitually crossed her legs at the ankles, with her feet slightly angled to one side, her movements were very elegant. 。Xiao Zheng could see her calves, very slender. 。But he just glanced at her casually, without paying particular attention to her physical features. 。。Then, Zhou Zhiyan deftly made two cups of tea and brought them over, saying: "Leaders, please take your time chatting." 。When she left, Zhou Zhiyan also took the office door with her. 。Song Jia used disposable chopsticks to pick up a soup dumpling, put it in her mouth, and chewed it with a sip, saying: "This soup dumpling is delicious." 。It's been ages since I've had such a treat for late-night snacks. 。Song Jia ate the rest of the soup dumplings and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t eat much for dinner. I’m actually a bit hungry now.” 。“Then eat these five of mine too,” Xiao Zheng said. 。Song Jia chao Xiao Zheng glanced at him: "County magistrate Xiao, are you trying to fatten me up" 。I won't do that. 。"Have you tried this soup dumpling" Xiao Zheng shook his head. "No, I saw a line of people buying it on the street and bought one." 。Song Jiadao: "You can try it, the taste is really good." 。It seems Song Jia won't eat anymore, Xiao Zheng doesn't want to waste food, so he picks it up and eats it. Unexpectedly, it tastes really good. 。Even though we had a big dinner earlier, it's already 10:30 pm and the food has mostly digested. 。Xiao Zheng ate all five steamed buns in a few bites, then took a sip of tea to clear the greasiness from his mouth, naturally feeling a sense of satisfaction. 。Then, Xiao Zheng looked at Song Jia and asked, “Department Head Song, is there anything you want me to do today” Song Jia also raised her teacup, took a sip of tea, before speaking, “I dare not forget the task County Chief Xiao previously assigned me.” 。Upon receiving some news, I immediately reported it to the County Magistrate of Xiao. 。"What task have I given you" Xiao Zheng was a little puzzled. "How dare I give Song, the commander, a task" Song Jia smiled and said, "If County Magistrate Xiao says so, then I won't treat your task as a task. There isn't much news for me to tell you today." 。“Looking at the bright smile on her face, Xiao Zheng really couldn't help himself, so he had to say: “No, Song Department Head.” 。It's so late, I've finally arrived, and you've been waiting in the office all this time. I definitely hope to hear some good news from you. 。Song Jia smiled again and said, "It's not exactly good news either." 。Xiao County, the last time I remember you saying that we need to find a TCM doctor named Zhou Muyun I've been keeping it in mind and I also mobilized our publicity committee members at the grassroots level to help us look for him. 。Today, the publicity commissioner from Lixing Township came to report. He said that there was indeed a Zhou Langzhong in their township who was very good at treating illnesses. Many gynecological diseases were cured by him, so he might be the Zhou doctor you're looking for. 。“Zhou Langzhong Treats women’s diseases”Xiao Zheng wasn't sure if this was Zhou Muyun, the one he was looking for. Xiao Zheng asked, "Is the name of this Zhou Langzhong 'Zhou Muyun'"Song Jia said, “The propaganda commissioner of Lingxing Township said his name is that, and this Zhou Langzhong used to be outside, only returning here a decade or so ago.” 。At this point, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but become very interested. 。"Zhou! He used to live outside. Didn't come back until over ten years ago! This matches the Zhou Muyun, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, that Fang Ya mentioned!

Xiao Zheng said: “This news is really great!” 。"When can I visit Dr. Zhou" Song Jia said, "If the county magistrate is in a hurry, I can accompany you there tomorrow." 。“Xiao Zheng really wanted to meet this Dr. Zhou, but tomorrow is a workday.” 。Song Jia seemed to have seen Xiao Zheng's concerns, and said: "Lingxian Township also wants to do something in the beautiful countryside tourism economy, and wants to invite us to go together. I wonder if the county magistrate has time" Xiao Zheng couldn't help but admire Song Jia for her ingenuity, and said: "Yes, I'm free." 。We are also looking for some new tourism economic growth points. 。Song Jiadao: “Then we should set off early tomorrow morning” Xiao Zhengdao: “Okay, it’s not too late, I’ll go back today first, and Song Bureau chief should be off work too.” 。Song Jiadao: "We are submitting materials these days, and we were going to work overtime anyway." 。Xiao County, just go back first, don't worry about us. 。"Xiao Zheng said: 'Should we leave a little later tomorrow You can also sleep in a bit later.'" 。"Thank you for your concern, Xiaoxian County Magistrate." 。"Song Jia smiled and said, "But tomorrow is a workday, can't sleep in." 。If you get tired tomorrow, just take a nap in the car. 。It seems that Song Jia is still very dedicated to her work. You wouldn't be able to get away with letting her sleep in on weekdays. 。Xiao Zheng didn't insist: "That's fine." 。“Will you ride in my car tomorrow” Song Jia thought for a moment and said, “How about your driver driving on mountain roads” Xiao Zheng replied, “My driver is from the army, he’s a great driver.” 。"Song Jiadao: "Then I can rest assured." 。After leaving the county Party Propaganda Department, Xiao Zheng called Sha Hai and briefed him on his schedule for tomorrow, asking him to stay at the county government and contact him if anything happened. 。Xiao Zheng returned home and wanted to give Fang Ya a call to tell her that they might have some leads on the person they were looking for, but after thinking about it, he decided to play it cool first. 。I'll wait until I meet Zhou Muyun myself before saying anything. 。The next day, they set out early. 。Song Jia and Xiao Zheng sat in the back seat, Zhou Zhiyan, the head of the publicity department office, sat in the co-pilot seat, and Xiao Zhong drove. 。Two women sat in the car, the entire vehicle filled with a faint fragrance that was both refreshing and pleasing. 。hall is clean, and I've already had Xia prepare..." 。Xia Xia, is Jiang Kui's secretary Xia Liangyu. 。Chen Qingshan said, "Then I'll find a small restaurant next time and treat Secretary Jiang." 。“Nex...
