Turning back to Tian Liang, he saw that it was Director Fu's son, Sun Zhanluo, and quickly put on a smile.

  "Hello, Director Sun."

  "What's this? Found some money?"

  "Director Sun, you're teasing me again." Xiang Tianliang's eyes were sharp and he saw the black document bag under Sun Zhanlu's arm. "Are you going out?"

  Sun Zhanlu hummed and asked, "Do you have any other work today?"

  "There's nothing that can't be done, just give the order." Xiang Tianliang said to himself, knowing full well but asking anyway, I'm just a big idle person, how could you not know?

  "Come with me on a business trip."

  Sun Zhanlu turned his head and walked towards the elevator.

  Towards the bright sky, he didn't dare to slack off, and even the office wasn't returned to, as he followed closely behind with a twinkle in his eye.

  To say, in the past six months, Xiang Tianliang has been busy with poverty alleviation work in Dayang Village, and besides that, Sun Zhanlu often takes him on "official business trips". In the bureau's office, he is like a "universal adhesive", and any leader can ask him to go.

  Among them, Sun Zhanlu's "business trip" is the most comfortable, eating and drinking, playing, paid by those companies or subordinate departments, and still can bring something back, basically all good things.

  Sun Zhanlu is the Deputy Director and a member of the Party Group, a native of Qinghe City, with a college degree. He is in charge of key engineering, water supply, water conservation, drainage, gas, urban appearance and environmental sanitation, landscaping and greening, urban management and other work in the bureau. Specifically, he is in contact with the Urban Construction Division, Urban Management Division, Municipal Gas Management Office, Municipal Water Supply and Conservation Management Division, Municipal Engineering Management Division, Municipal Landscaping and Greening Management Division, and Municipal Construction Communication Pipeline Development Division.

  In the eyes of Mayor Tian, among several deputy directors, Sun Zhanlu was the most powerful and also the most profitable. With just one sentence "in charge of key projects", he could assign the city's construction projects to his department. Without Sun Zhanlu's signature, you couldn't get a construction permit, and all you could do was shut your eyes.

  Arriving at the garage, Sun Zhanlu directly got into the back seat of the Santana. "Xiao Xiang, you drive."

  Xiang Tianliang responded with a "yes" and sat down in the driver's seat, skillfully starting the car. "Director Sun, where are we headed?"

  Xishan Villa in the western suburbs.

  Xiang Tian Liang understood in his heart, it was indeed a good thing.

  Xijiao's Xianhe Mountain Villa, built by an overseas returnee from Qinghe five years ago, is located on the banks of Xiaoqing River and is a leisure resort called Nongjiale. It has become a famous tourist destination in Qinghe City. Seeing the thriving business, the boss wants to build an 18-story hotel on the banks of Xiaoqing River. According to a document seen by Tian Liang, the provincial and municipal planning commissions have approved the project, and the mayor and deputy mayor have signed their consent. It has also been included in the city's top ten key projects. As soon as the construction bureau issues a construction permit, work can begin immediately.

  On the road, towards the bright sky, without a word, "Director Sun, you really are well-informed." He knew that Sun Zhanlu loved to chat idly.

  "Oh? In what way?"

  "I can drive."

  Normally when going out, Sun Zhanlu always brings his follower Chen Dabao, but today he only brought himself, and towards Tian Liang, there must be a reason.

  "You young fellow, you're quite pleased with yourself lately."

  Sun Zhanlu smiled.

  "Director Sun, as long as you're happy, go ahead and make fun of me."

  In front of Sun Zhanlu, there is a taboo when speaking, that is, you can't mention happiness, so towards Tian Liang, you can only use the word "happy" instead.

  That happiness is this happiness. Speaking of happiness, Sun Zhanlu will be very unhappy. The reason is that the name of Gao Fu Director is called Gaoxing.

  Sun Zhanlu and Gao Xing are both carefully cultivated by the old director, but unfortunately, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. If the old director's recommendation is successful this time, it will definitely be his own person who takes over, either Gao Xing or Sun Zhanlu.

  What's even more deadly is that Gao Xing is 42 years old and Sun Zhanlu is 41 years old, they are people of the same age group. This means that if one rises, the other will never be able to get ahead. The former director and Guo Hongda, who was also a director, are living examples of this. Unless someone is unlucky or finds their own way out to develop elsewhere.

  Two people have their own advantages, happy to have good interpersonal relationships, and be more comprehensive in doing things. Sun Zhanlu has a college degree and strong practical work ability.

  In Tian Liang's view, as long as the new director is generated within the bureau, it should be either Sun Zhanlu or Gao Xing, one or the other. As for Chen Wenyun and Yu Feilong, they are simply pretending to be busy.

  "Director Sun, you'd better hurry up." Xiang Tianliang said with concern.

  Sun Zhanlu smiled and said: "So, you're supporting me, huh?"

  She smiled brightly at Tian Liang, "Don't you understand me yet? Unfortunately, the Organization Department isn't run by my family."

  "You little brat, you're getting more and more eloquent, I underestimated you before."

  "Thank you, Director Sun, for your cultivation. If there's anything I can help with, please just let me know."

  Sun Zhanlu waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to instruct today, just let loose and enjoy eating, drinking and having fun."

  "Yes." He glanced at Sun Zhanlu from the mirror and saw that he had something on his mind, so he didn't take the initiative to talk.

  Toward Tian Liang, Sun Zhanlu's heart is filled with sympathy. No matter how you put it, Sun Zhanlu is strong and good in every way, but he has a fatal weakness - his appearance. He has the most typical triangular face, and his body is extremely thin, making the triangle on his face particularly striking. Women want to avoid him when they see him, and men feel nauseous.

  According to Old Liu's investigation, Sun Zhanlu had three major misfortunes, and all of them were due to his face that "can't produce a good-looking one in a hundred years".

  The first time it was about marriage, he fell in love with the county magistrate's daughter because of this face that was too special.

  The second time, he and Gao Xing were both promoted to deputy director, with Sun Zhanlu ranked first and Gao Xing second. After meeting the two, the head of the municipal party committee's organization department commented in private, "This appearance will tarnish Qinghe's image." When the appointment documents came down, Gao Xing was placed ahead of him. Later, Gao Xing surpassed Chen Wenyun to become the first deputy director, while he himself fell back to fourth deputy director due to the arrival of Yu Feilong.

  The last time was last year, the municipal party committee organization department came to the construction bureau for inspection, to select two deputy department-level cadres into the provincial-level reserve list, it was clear that there was an age limit, only Gao Xing, Yu Feilong and Sun Zhanlu were eligible, three people were selected, but Sun Zhanlu was not chosen.

  No wonder Old Liu said that Sun Zhanlu was unlucky in his appearance and surname, it's destined by heaven.

  "Xiao Xiang, can you play mahjong?" Sun Zhanlu suddenly asked.

  "Haha, Director Sun, I said no, doesn't that mean I'm deceiving you?" There was a hint of smugness in his laughter.

  Xiang Tianliang learned mahjong from his uncle since he was a child, and his uncle's mahjong skills were famous throughout Qinghe River. A good teacher produces excellent students, and strong generals have no weak soldiers under their command. Although his uncle has retired now, he passed on his mahjong skills to his only "disciple", Xiang Tianliang.

  "Ah, that's good, that's good."

  Xianhe Manor has arrived.

  At the entrance of the mountain villa, two women who were dressed to the nines and looked majestic and noble had already been waiting.
