Time flew by like water, and a few days passed quickly, and it was the New Year's Eve of the lunar calendar.
According to the latest regulations of the central government, there is no holiday on this day. The Spring Festival holiday will be counted from the first day of the lunar new year.
It's just that in the officialdom, there have been policies and countermeasures since ancient times, especially when it comes to issues like holidays. Although it is required to go to work on New Year's Eve, government cadres and ordinary civil servants will also come to work, but they just come to report. It was just a show, but in fact, except for some people who were called on duty, everyone else got off work early and went home to prepare for the New Year.
Chen Ping did not impose strict restrictions on this. After all, this is an annual traditional festival, and it is not a bad idea to let the agency staff relax.
It¡¯s just that this connivance cannot be said directly, but it must be done with actual actions.
On the morning of New Year¡¯s Eve, Chen Ping came to the Luzhuang City Government to show up, and then skipped work and went home. Even the leaders took the lead, and the staff below would naturally follow suit.
Back home, Chen Ping saw Ye Lingzhi applying makeup carefully in front of the mirror, and couldn't help but curious: "Lingzhi, don't you rarely put on makeup? Why are you still putting on makeup today?"
It¡¯s no wonder that Chen Ping is so surprised. After all, Chen Ping has known Ye Lingzhi for seven years. Ever since he first met Ye Lingzhi at the KTV in Shagang City, Chen Ping has never seen Ye Lingzhi wearing makeup. At most, he only put on foundation. In Chen Ping's memory, Ye Lingzhi had put on makeup twice, once when he came back from Beijing to meet his parents, and the other time when he went to have dinner with Xiao Shufei Le Qingyun.
But even if Ye Lingzhi doesn¡¯t wear much makeup, she can put all the photoshopped artificial beauties online to shame.
Ye Lingzhi rolled her eyes at Chen Ping and said nothing. Chen Ping walked over and looked at the beauty in the mirror and joked: "Other people say that an ugly daughter-in-law has to dress up carefully when she meets her parents-in-law for the first time! Haven't you already seen Lingzhi? ?Why is it still like this?"
"Isn't it my first time to go to your house to celebrate the New Year? I must dress up." Ye Lingzhi said this, and at the same time pushed Chen Ping away and said, "Oh, please don't mess up my day, or else I'll put on makeup After all, you really have to bring an ugly daughter-in-law home, and your neighbors will laugh at you every day, saying that you, a young and promising deputy mayor, married a Zhong Wuyan."
Chen Ping spread his hands and said, "I don't care!"
"You don't care, but I don't," Ye Lingzhi said, "Well, if you have free time here to watch me put on makeup, you might as well go and see if you have anything else to bring."
After what Ye Lingzhi said, Chen Ping found two suitcases placed on the ground beside her. It seemed that she had packed everything before starting to put on makeup when she got up early.
The two of them are going home, not going anywhere else. How can they bring a lot of things? They only need to bring some daily changes of clothes, so where do they need to check?
Ye Lingzhi timed her makeup very well. She finished it around 10:40, and then she and Chen Ping went downstairs carrying their suitcases.
Chen Ping considers himself not a bureaucrat, so he usually doesn't have the habit of asking a driver to take him home when he goes home. It was the same this time, and this time Chen Ping did not drive a car assigned by the Luzhuang Municipal Government, but drove a car with Ye Lingzhi's name on it. When I got off the car, let the driver Yu Dajiang drive my own car during the Chinese New Year. It can also be regarded as the welfare given to him by my leader during the Chinese New Year.
About an hour later, Chen Ping drove back home. Chen Ping drove the car into the converted parking lot downstairs as usual, but found that the place was almost full of cars. Chen Ping took a look at the license plate. They were all Shagang Municipal Committee City government car.
This made Chen Ping frown, what is going on?
Because although Chen Ping has now become the deputy mayor of Luzhuang, his parents still insist on living in a community unified by the employees of the textile factory. The largest neighbor next to him is the former factory leader of the textile factory. Even if this community is later Luzhuang Some rich and powerful people have moved in one after another, but it¡¯s not like there will be so many more people working in the unit all at once!
Chen Ping's parents will always live here because of habit. Otherwise, with Chen Ping's current wealth and status, it is not impossible to change the elders to a villa. It's just that the elders are used to this kind of life, so they must be forced to live in a villa. , I am afraid that the second elder himself will feel very lonely.
Of course, for the safety of the two elders, Chen Ping also specifically contacted the relevant officials of Shagang City to strengthen security measures in this community and nearby areas.
You must know that Chen Ping came from the Shagang Municipal Government, and he still has many acquaintances here. Feng Jin, the former director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, is now the Secretary of the Shagang Municipal Party Committee, and Chen Ping¡¯s former leader Cai Zhongxian has been promoted from the original Municipal Party Committee. The director of the government office has been promoted to the current acting mayor of Shagang, while he was working at KTV.Lin Changsheng, who witnessed the first meeting of Chen Ping and Ye Lingzhi, was promoted from the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau in charge of mass incidents to the current secretary of the Political and Legal Committee.
?????????????????????????With Cai Zhongxian and Lin Changsheng here, Chen Ping's affairs will be easier to handle.
They can be said to have witnessed the miracle of Chen Ping's officialdom, so they just nodded and took care of Chen Ping's affairs.
Originally, Chen Ping's parents' house was a demolition resettlement house in the city. The location was very remote. When we first moved here, not only was the surrounding area very desolate, with no greenery to be seen, even the roads in and out were very dilapidated, and there was dust every day. The sky is full, and the buses coming in and out are few and very slow.
But now this place is not only one of the best communities in Shagang City, but also has greening, fitness and other facilities. There is also a police station next to it. Whenever a security incident occurs nearby, the police will be able to detect it in up to ten minutes. on site.
This is the benefit of power and relationships!
Chen Ping thought in his heart: After all, if he were not the deputy mayor of Luzhuang, Zhao Zhenchuan and the officials in the province did not value him so much, and he was just an ordinary person, let alone these things now, I am afraid that even the owner of the demolition and resettlement house would It¡¯s not that easy to get a real estate certificate.
"Chen Ping, what are you thinking about? Get out of the car and go home. Our uncle and aunt are still waiting for us!" Ye Lingzhi said.
"It's nothing, I was just wondering, why are there so many government vehicles parked here? Is it because of that incident? It wouldn't be so fast, right?" Chen Ping said.
"Don't you know what's going on when you get off the car?" Ye Lingzhi said.
Chen Ping thought about it, so he and Ye Lingzhi got out of the car and took out the suitcase from the trunk of the car. However, as soon as they walked out of the parking lot, they saw two people in their sixties rushing towards them. Chen Ping knew these two people. They were the leaders of his parents' original textile factory. The last time he took Ye Lingzhi home, they were chatting with his parents at his home.
"Hello, Uncle Wang and Uncle Li." Chen Ping greeted them first.
"Hello," the two of them greeted Chen Ping, "Chen Ping, you are back!"
"Uncle Wang and Uncle Li, what happened in the community today? Why are there so many government cars parked here?" Chen Ping asked.
"Actually, we don't know much about it," Uncle Wang said. "Just an hour ago, Secretary Feng and Mayor Cai of the municipal party committee came here with their people. I heard that they had something important to talk to your parents about. "
"I understand, thank you Uncle Wang and Uncle Li."
Chen Ping said that from the answer given by Uncle Wang, Chen Ping could roughly guess what was going on. When he looked back at Ye Lingzhi, he saw her looking at him with a smile on her face. I'm afraid she had already guessed it. This is why I put so much effort into putting on makeup. I want to earn face for myself in front of outsiders.
