upstairs immediately, looking left and right, making sure the two business cars from before weren't there. Only then did she cautiously walk up the stairs. 。He opened the door to Xiayu's room. He did...As soon as the door opened, Mayor Hong's eyes fell on Xiao Zheng. 。His own secretary, Tao Zhongbin, was grabbing Xiao Zheng's arm, trying to drag him away from the office door. But Xiao Zheng skillfully twisted, causing Tao Zhongbin's grip to loosen, and he stumbled back several steps before regaining his balance. 。Tao Zhongbin was both angry and annoyed, but still wanted to stop Xiao Zheng. He charged forward again. 。The mayor saw this scene and said, “Xiao Tao, that’s enough! What are you doing” Tao Zhongbin only stopped then, pointing at Xiao Zheng and saying, “Mayor, this man didn’t make an appointment and just rushed into your office!” 。“That man” the mayor of Hóngshì glanced at Tao Zhōngbīn and corrected him, “You don't know him He's Xiāo Zhēng, the vice-county magistrate of n County.” 。You should call him "Mr. Xiao," not "that person." Since you're following me, you need to understand the rules. 。In the opinion of Mayor Hong, it's acceptable for a leader to display anger, as it demonstrates necessary authority. However, his secretary should be well-mannered and considerate, otherwise their position would be problematic. 。Tao Zhongbin, after being reprimanded by the mayor of Hongshi, remembered the mayor's consistent demands and immediately wilted. He became subdued and even said to Xiao Zheng, "County Magistrate Xiao, I apologize for what I just said." 。Xiao Zheng didn't care much, and said: "It's nothing" 。It is your duty to look after the mayor's affairs. 。"However, I really have an urgent matter to attend to with Mayor Hong. So I apologize for what happened earlier." 。In Macros' ears, Xiao Zheng's answer was much more polite and respectful than his own secretary. 。Hong Xu once also admired heroes, and had high expectations for Xiao Zheng. During Xiao Zheng's promotion to the position of deputy county magistrate, Hong Xu played a crucial role. 。Later, when Xiao Zheng invited Tan Zhen out for a meal, he was greatly disappointed in him. 。Perhaps this is just the saying "the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment"!

Hong Xu personally helped Xiao Zheng, and even put in a lot of effort to postpone his secretary's appointment. Under these circumstances, as long as he saw that Xiao Zheng had even a little bit of "disloyalty" to him, he completely "looked down" on Xiao Zheng. 。Sometimes, superiors can have feelings for their subordinates like lovers do, which can lead to love-hate relationships. 。

A leader's hatred towards their subordinates can have consequences far more severe than those in a romantic relationship. 。So, even if Xiao Zheng is capable, the mayor of Hongshi will no longer accept him. 。He looked at Xiao Zheng and said, “I’m busy today. Xiao Tao has already told you this.” 。You go. 。"Mr. Mayor, I hope you can give me ten minutes, just ten minutes," 。"Macro flatly refused: 'I don't have ten minutes for you.'" 。“Mr. Mayor, how about five minutes” 。At the City Government office, some people couldn't help but be curious, wanting to know how things would end with An County's常務副縣長蕭崢 breaking into Mayor Hong's office today. They peeked around in the hallway, which annoyed Mayor Hong: "Aren't you all supposed to be working"

Tao Zhongbin went over and urged them back to their offices: "Get back to work." 。Those officials had all retreated back to their offices, but the doors were still open and their ears were still pricked, hoping to catch even a word. 。They thought, having a chat with people during lunchtime today would be more flavorful than the cafeteria food!

Hongxu looked at Xiao Zheng again and thought to himself, this Xiao Zheng is really quite stubborn. 。If any other county official were to explicitly state that they were unavailable, I'm afraid no one would dare bother them again. 。But Xiao Zheng insisted on doing so. If he wasn't given any time at all, he might cause even bigger trouble and make the government officials speculate wildly about the deep-seated grudge between him and Xiao Zheng. 。Macros naturally didn't want things to go that way, so he said, "I can only give you three minutes 。Come in. 。"With that, Hongxu turned and went back inside. Xiao Zheng then silently followed him in." 。When Secretary Tao Zhongbin was about to follow him, Hong Xu said without turning back, "Xiao Tao, please close the door." 。You time yourself outside the door, come in when three minutes are up. 。Tao Zhongbin said: “Yes, Hongshi.” 。I'll start the timer. 。"Hóng Xù sat down on the sofa and looked at Xiao Zhēng. “Go ahead,” 。Hong Xu didn't ask Xiao Zheng to sit down, but Xiao Zheng sat down himself. This way, he could look at Hong Xu eye to eye and wouldn't be looking down on him. 。Xiao Zheng said, "Mayor Hong, the person behind this 'firecracker' incident is the village head." 。This person is essentially a gambler, having put all the illegally raised funds into the stock market. 。He lost several hundred million in the stock market recently. This time, he's desperate to make a comeback in An County by attracting a huge sum of money and then going all-in at the Macau casinos. If he wins, he can turn things around, but if he loses, he might just disappear. 。Then, the mess will only be left for the municipal committee and government to clean up. 。This matter is extremely urgent, so I have to come and see the mayor of Hongshi. 。Hong Xu was also taken aback. Of course, Hong Xu knew about the master of the house. He was so active in the Mirror State market that almost no one didn't know him. 。But, as to whether he was secretly pouring huge sums into the stock market and suffering major losses, Hong Xu really doesn't know. As for his alleged trip to Macau to gamble, Hong Xu is even more in the dark. 。But, whether this is true or not is hard to say. Hong Xu said: "Where did you hear all of this" Xiao Zheng said: "Mayor Hong, in that circle at Zhuangzi's, we heard from..." 。"This so-called 'insider' naturally refers to senior brother Zhang Yimeng." 。The city lord asked, "Who is this insider" Xiao Zheng was taken aback, then said, "City Lord, I'm very sorry, I can't say the insider's name. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous, and I would be irresponsible to this insider." 。。"Hong Xu let out a cold snort and said, "What's worth swearing for How many oaths are just used to deceive people Well, I'm not going to ask anymore." 。Now, tell me what you want. Why did you come to me Is it for me to help you talk to Tan Shujie and persuade him to let you stay in An County and not be transferred"Xiao Zheng shook his head. "That doesn't matter anymore" 。In my position, I am very clear that Mayor [Name] has helped me a great deal. 。I can become a standing vice county magistrate, and also act as the mayor of Hong City's spokesperson. 。Where I work now is no longer important to me. 。My only request now is that the mayor can take care of this illegal financing issue. As long as illegal financing is cracked down on, I have no other demands. 。I heard that Director Dai of the Municipal Public Security Bureau is very attentive to the Mayor's words, so as long as the Mayor makes up his mind, this trend of illegal financing will definitely be curbed. 。I believe 。“

Hong Xù remained silent for a moment before speaking, “You've finished Now I can tell you clearly that I cannot do this.” 。I have my difficulties. 。Xiao Zheng shifted in the sofa and said, "I understand Mayor Hong's difficulties. He's worried about Secretary Tan's influence being too strong." 。But, Mr. Mayor, the more you compromise, the less people will take you seriously. 。Once they have all settled in, maybe they will make you leave Mirror City just like they did with Elder Liu. 。Speaking of this, the door to Hong Xu's office was knocked on, and his secretary Tao Zhongbin came in and reminded him: "Mayor Hong, three minutes are up." 。"

"good "> 。“Huo Xun stood up and said, “Xiao Zheng, I’ve given you time. You’ve said what you wanted to say, and you know my stance.” 。You can go back now. 。Xiao Zheng looked up at Hong Xu and said, "Mayor Hong..."

"County Magistrate Xiao, what else do you want" Tao Zhongbin saw that Xiao Zheng was about to speak again, and urged him from the side, "Please leave immediately. Do you really want me to call security to escort you out"

"No need" 。“Xiao Zheng said, “I won’t bother you anymore. I just want to thank Mayor Hong for giving me these three minutes.” 。Thank you, Mayor Hong. 。"After that, Xiao Zheng bowed slightly and then turned to leave Hong Xu's office. " 。Tao Zhongbin saw Xiao Zheng leave, and he finally let out a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but say: "He's really putting on a show." 。"Hongxu glanced at Chao Taobin, then said: "I'm going to play basketball tonight." 。"Alright, Hongshi City Mayor," 。"But, didn't your Achilles tendon hurt last time you played Isn't the rest period over yet Are you going today"

Hongxu moved his right foot and said, "No problem, I feel fine now." 。I've had so much on my mind lately, I need to get some exercise, sweat it out, and clear my head. 。Tao Zhongbin said: "Okay, Mayor Hong, I'll contact them right away and have someone from the Sports Bureau accompany you." 。"Hong Xu shook his head and said, 'Don't call the people from the Sports Bureau. Just have them arrange the field, and the rest are just people from our basketball circle.'" 。Those people at the Sports Bureau, they just know how to feed me easy balls, it's so fake. It's not even fun when we actually play. 。"Understood, Mayor Hong," Tao Zhongbin nodded. 。As soon as he stepped out of the Mayor's office, he went to make arrangements. 。Hong Xu came to the window, looking at the winter sun outside, but in his heart he thought, a man like Xiao Zheng, was also dedicated to his work, very different from his own secretary Tao Zhongbin. 。After today's events, Hongxu finally had a better impression of Xiao Zheng. 。In fact, when it comes to cracking down on "giving up the child," Hong Xu doesn't want to help Xiao Zheng, but he really can't help him. 。Given Tan Zhen's current strength and relationship with the provincial government, my own connections and background are insufficient to challenge him. 。Otherwise, Macro had already taken care of it!

Now, Macro can only watch as those people raise funds illegally among civil servants, small business owners, and ordinary people. As for the outcome, he doesn't know. 。

Hongxu suddenly remembered Xiao Zheng's words, "The more you yield, the less they will take you seriously." 。Once they have all settled in, perhaps they will be like asking Liu to leave Jingzhou, asking you to leave as well. 。Is there a possibility of this Definitely. 。Maybe it's already developing in that direction!

Li Haiyan was waiting for Xiao Zheng in the hallway. Seeing him, she immediately asked, "Master, how did it go"

Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "I couldn't persuade the mayor of Hongshi." 。Li Haiyan anxiously asked, "What can we do then Is there no other way" Xiao Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Haiyan, can you find out where the mayor of Hongshi is having dinner tonight I still need to find him." 。 Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!g Ya, “Secretary Liu, Minister Fang, are you going back now Or staying to listen together” They had agreed beforehand to leave after breakfast.” 。Liu Shisen said, "No need to rush, I'm curious about H...
