Chapter Eighty-Three: Cao Dafu was extremely excited

  Zhu Zi Chuan had just finished the phone call with Ye Ping Yu, when the deputy director of the municipal organization department called him and asked where he was. Only after answering the phone did he realize that the deputy director of the organization department had already arrived in the county town, but he was delayed by those villagers.

  Rushed to the county town, after arriving at the county town, drove directly into the county party committee compound. All the leading cadres in the county were already seated inside the grand auditorium of the county party committee, but the newly appointed secretary of the county party committee was late and had yet to arrive.

  County Party Committee Standing Committee Office Director Cui Xinhua has been waiting outside, the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department Deputy Minister first went to the small conference room to rest, accompanied by Zhang Mingshun, he had to wait for Zhu Zichuan to arrive, otherwise the meeting could not start.

  When he saw the car of Zhu Zi Chuan arriving, Cui Xin Hua hurriedly walked forward to greet him. He and Zhu Zi Chuan had dealt with each other before and were old acquaintances. After Zhu Zi Chuan got out of the car, he shook hands with him without saying anything.

  Seeing Zhuozi's face didn't look very good, Cui Xinhua didn't know what was going on. Today was his first day in office, why was he still pulling a long face and not happy?

  Cui Xinhua thought so, but he still hurriedly brought Zhuozi to the small conference room to meet with the deputy director of the municipal party committee's organization department. The deputy director couldn't help but smile when he saw him arrive, his driver drove too fast and actually threw off Zhuozi, it was really embarrassing. Seeing that Zhuozi didn't look very happy, he quickly explained the situation.

  Feeling he had misunderstood, Zhu Zi Chuan hastily smiled and then invited him to walk ahead together towards the grand hall.

  Cao Dafu and Zhao Yuangong had already arrived at the grand auditorium and taken their seats. When they heard that Zhu Zichuan was coming to take up the post of county party secretary, he felt extremely pleased, just like Ye Pingyu. The secretaries of other towns may not have had dealings with Zhu Zichuan, but he had. However, as soon as he thought this, his mind turned to Ye Pingyu again. Lately, Ye hadn't been very good to him. Now that Zhu Zichuan was coming to take up the post of county party secretary, would he be reused again?

  As soon as this idea emerged, Cao Dafu felt a little uneasy in his heart. Zhao Yuangong quietly got together with Ye Pingyu, and if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have taken those actions against Ye Pingyu.

  Zhu Zi Chuan and the deputy head of the municipal party committee organization department, along with Zhang Ming Shun, walked onto the podium. The document appointing him as the secretary of Donglin County Committee was conveyed by the deputy head of the municipal party committee organization department, and Zhang Ming Shun presided over the meeting.

  The deputy head of the municipal party committee's organization department made some remarks after announcing the appointment of Zhu Zi Chuan, and then Zhu Zi Chuan delivered an important speech. His face was very serious, on the one hand because this was a formal occasion, and on the other hand because of what had happened on the road. Everyone saw how serious he looked and wondered if the new county party secretary was extremely strict and demanding.

  Zhang Mingshun sat on the podium, maintaining a calm face. Although he had some regrets that he couldn't take over Gui Qixiang's position, he didn't feel too resentful. After all, his tenure as county magistrate was not long, and Zhu Zichuan was a great secretary of Pingyuan Prefecture, who surpassed him in both relationship and ability. If he showed an uncooperative attitude, it would likely be him who suffered in the end.

  When Chúc T? Thuy?n was in the provincial government, he still wanted to curry favor with others. Now that he has become a colleague here, it's better for him to be more careful, otherwise, as long as Chúc T? Thuy?n says a few words in front of Ping Yuan Chao, this county magistrate may have to step down. Guo Minghai and Chen Qili are not convinced of him.

  After Zhu Zi's speech, he immediately delivered a speech, expressing his firm support for the municipal party committee's decision, and requiring all county party members and cadres to closely surround the county party committee, forge ahead, strive hard, and create a new situation for Donglin County's work.

  After Zhang Mingshun finished speaking, the meeting was dismissed. The town mayors and secretaries of various towns, as well as the directors of various bureaus, walked out of the grand auditorium one by one. Cao Dafu and Zhao Yuangong also came out in succession.

  They ran into Zhao Jianye outside, and Cao Dafu smiled and said he wanted to invite him to dinner. He hadn't had a chance to thank him for the car purchase last time, and now they happened to run into each other. He and Zhao Yuangong invited him to dinner together to deepen their relationship.

  Zhao Jianye saw Cao Dafu and smiled, thought for a moment, then suddenly pulled him to one side. Cao Dafu didn't know what private matter Zhao Jianye had to discuss, so he followed him over.

  He walked to a corner beside him, Zhao Jianye looked at him and seemed to be thinking about how to put it, Cao Dafu smiled and said: "Director Zhao, just say what you want, as long as I can do it, I will definitely try my best."

  Zhao Jianye smiled and said: "Nothing, nothing. I just wanted to ask about that Ye Pingyu person from your village."

  Cao Dafu suddenly heard this sentence, his face was a bit stunned, thinking that Zhao Jianye asked Ye Pingyu what to do? Is it that kind of thing?

  Cao Dafu suddenly thought of the matter of men and women getting to know each other, because he knew that Zhao Jianye still had an unmarried daughter, and Ye Pingyu was also young and unmarried. Now that he asked about Ye Pingyu's situation, it was very likely that this was what he meant, otherwise he would not have asked in such a way.

  Laughing, Cao Dafu said: "Old Zhao, why are you asking this? You also saw Ye Pingyu buying a car last time, do you still need to ask me?"

  Zhao Jianye glanced at him and thought to himself that this Cao Dafu was not being honest, trying to play tricks on him. Whatever he asked him, he would just answer with a "yes", and had to be asked again in reverse.

  Zhao Jianye's expression turned solemn as he said, "Old Cao, there's a sum of money that the county is about to allocate to the towns. Does your town want it or not?"

  As soon as he heard that, Cao Dafu hurriedly said: "Want, definitely want it, now the countryside is all poor to death, you ask about this matter, I really don't dare to tell you, Xiao Ye is indeed not bad, but this kid is from a rural background, living habits and whatnot are probably not very good, other things I also don't dare say."

  Cao Dafu saw the change in Zhao Jianye's face and immediately answered honestly, but he didn't praise Ye Pingyu too much. If Ye Pingyu had nothing to do with Zhu Zichuan, then there was nothing worth paying attention to, just a poor young man from a rural area.

  However, the girl he saw in the area last time, Cao Dafu was not sure if she was Ye Pingyu's girlfriend or not. If so, at least she should have been brought to the countryside once, but since then, he had never seen her again. Thinking of this, he added another sentence: "Director Zhao, this kid may have a partner!"

  Upon hearing this, Zhao Jianye's face turned dark and he said: "Old Cao, you know what I'm asking you, I didn't ask if he had a girlfriend or not."

  Although he was asking about this aspect, Zhao Jianye couldn't let people think that he was asking about this aspect. This involved the issue of face. After seeing Ye Pingyu last time, he had such thoughts, but he couldn't let people think that he had this meaning.

  Seeing Zhao Jianye's gloomy face, Cao Dafu smiled and said: "Director Zhao, if there's anything I can help you with, just say it. We're old buddies, don't be polite. How about this? Let's have lunch together at noon. It's been a long time since we've had a drink together!"

  Looking at Cao Dafu's meaty smile, Zhao Jianye finally relaxed his smile and said: "That's good, but you rarely come all the way here, I'll treat you to dinner."

  Cao Dafu hurriedly said: "How can you let him pay, he is the God of Wealth, where is the reason to let the God of Wealth pay for meals, it doesn't make sense!"

  "I didn't expect Cao Dafu to say that," Zhao Jianye couldn't help but laugh and say, "You old Cao, you're not short on twisted logic!"

  Cao Dafu burst out laughing and walked out of the corner with him, then went to Zhao Yuangong who was standing there waiting, ready to go to the restaurant together.

  At this time, some other cadres also walked out of the county party committee compound one after another. Some went to the bureau for business, some returned to their hometown or unit, and others, like Cao Dafu, were invited to dinner.

  Cao Dafu was about to get in the car and go out with Zhao Jianye, but unexpectedly, as soon as the car started, he received a call from the county committee office, saying that the new secretary wanted him to come over.

  As soon as he heard that Zhuozi was looking for him, Cao Dafu became very excited. It turned out that having a prior relationship had its advantages. He had just taken office and was already looking for himself, which must be good news.

  Cao Dafu said something to Zhao Yuangong with a pleased expression, then asked him to go to the restaurant with Zhao Jianye first. He arrived immediately, and when Zhao Jianye heard that Zhu Zichuan was looking for him, his heart was also turbulent. He thought to himself: Is there some relationship between Zhu Zichuan and me? Why did he come and look for him as soon as he arrived? Caoliangzi Township is not a particularly important town after all!

  He was originally promoted by Gui Qixiang, but now that the new secretary has arrived, it's hard to say whether he'll be replaced or not. If the new secretary favors Cao Dafu, there's a good chance he'll let him take over the position, and then he'll lose his power.

  As they watched Cao Dafu walk towards the county committee building, Zhao Yuangong and Zhao Jianye each had their own thoughts, guessing the new secretary's purpose in finding him. However, they couldn't wait for him here, so they went to the restaurant together first.

  Cao Dafu rushed to the county committee office building with great excitement, but his stout body made him pant after just one floor, so he rested for a while before continuing upstairs, but he didn't dare run again, otherwise he would be out of breath when he met Zhu Zishen.

  He first arrived at the county party committee office and met Cui Xinhua, who asked him what business Zou Zubo had with him. Cui Xinhua didn't know either, but he saw that Zou Zubo's face was not good and very serious, so he reminded him: "Old Cao, Secretary Zou has just taken office, you'd better be careful!"

  As soon as he heard this, Cao Dafu said with a big smile: "Don't worry, Director Cui, I'll go find him right now."

  Watching him walk towards Cui Xinhua's office, Cui Xinhua was deep in thought, thinking that Cao Dafu looked quite confident, had he already established a relationship with Zhu Zishen? Otherwise, why would Zhu Zishen come here and find him first without looking for anyone else? This made people feel very suspicious!
