Ye Zhiran looked at the small villa and was generally satisfied. Originally, this house was also a temporary residence for him. I don’t even know how long I could live here, one year, two years, three years, or more. Cadres of his level were frequently transferred, and no one could tell what they would look like in the future.

If he was satisfied with the study, he would probably be satisfied... As for Zhang Nianyue, she was not very picky, it was just that the bedroom was bigger and the bed she slept with was more comfortable. She was a little in love with the bed.

Returning to the living room... The living room is usually arranged in the room where you enter. Just as I sat down, the doorbell sound came... Chen Rong opened the door and saw it and said in surprise: "Ah! Mayor Li?"

If you have a son-in-law, you will not be surprised.

Uh? The Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister was still in the Municipal Party Committee Guesthouse. She did not go there to ask for a meeting, but instead came to Ye Zhiran's home.

Ye Zhiran stood up with a smile and said, "Mayor Jiaxin, please come in and sit down. I am very messy here and I haven't had time to clean up."

"Well? Are you blamed for coming a little early?"

"Where is it, Mayor Jiaxin is telling a joke. Secretary-General, you go buy me a bottle of mineral water. Mayor Jiaxin comes to the door. If you don't even treat tea, it's too unreasonable."

Li Jiaxin has a slightly higher cheekbones, but her eyes are flexible, her lips and nose are well matched, and she has the straightforwardness of a She-ethnic woman. She covered her mouth and smiled: "When the Secretary-General comes back from buying tea, will he make the customer thirst?"

Then he rushed to Chen Rong and raised his chin and said, "Come on, Secretary General. There happened to be a box of mineral water in my car. Please help me move it in, just treat it as a gift I gave to Mayor Ye."

Chen Rong was not polite, and followed Li Jiaxin. Song Cheng hurriedly stepped in front of him and said, "Secretary-General, I'll do it. I'm young and strong."

A box of water doesn't have much weight, and Song Cheng is just showing an attitude.

When they returned to the living room, Ye Zhiran smiled and said, "Mayor Jiaxin, you are laughing. Haha, am I a bribe?"

Li Jiaxin glanced at him... rolled her eyes at someone and seemed to be a woman's patent... and said, "I just gave me a bottle of water. Besides, I have to drink it myself. Isn't water a metaphor for a gentleman's friendship?"

"Well, too." Ye Zhiran looked at Li Jiaxin and observed up close. Mayor Jiaxin is still a very elegant woman with a little dark skin. She probably is because she often basks in the sun, but she looks very healthy and sunny. "Please sit here."

Li Jiaxin took her seat gently on the sofa.

"Mayor Jiaxin, I was just about to find some time to chat with you, but I didn't expect you to come here by yourself." Because Li Jiaxin looked a little simple. Ye Zhiran put down the curves of the officialdom and said casually.

"What instructions do Mayor Ye have?"

"In this way, I just arrived in Lifeng and wanted to go to various districts and counties first and have a look. So, I have to ask you to preside over the work of the municipal government."

Li Jiaxin is the executive vice mayor. According to the rules, when the mayor leaves the city, he presides over the work of the municipal government on behalf of the mayor. Some time ago, former mayor Xu Rulong entered the short-term training class of the Party School. She has been presiding over the work of the municipal government. Now, Ye Zhiran is here, and he should preside over the work.

Li Jiaxin waved her hand and said, "Mayor Ye, this does not comply with the rules."

"Haha. Mayor Jiaxin, rules are used for flexibility, rules are used to break them. I am not familiar with the situation in Lifeng City and cannot play a role. Why not take time to touch the situation and work harder for a few days."

Well?

As soon as other mayors took office, they thought about reclaiming power as soon as possible. Mayor Ye would be fine, and they thought about delegating power first...

"How many days do you need?"

"It's about ten days."

Mayor Jiaxin opened his mouth and said, "Why does it take so long? If you want to go down to investigate the work, you can go down in several times. You can take time to run from one county to another. There is no need to walk all in one breath."

"Well? I didn't say I'm going to go to one or two counties first."

"Why do you take so long?"

Ye Zhiran spread his hands and said, "I said I don't understand the situation. I want to calm down and investigate, understand what the people think, find out where the bottleneck of economic development is to solve the bottleneck of economic development, and then break this bottleneck... Of course, if I have good luck, it may end early. In short, before I returned to the city, the work of the city government was still my nephew's lanterns-as usual."

Li Jiaxin's skin was a little darker and her eyes were even darker. When she looked up at Ye Zhiran under the light, her eyes and whites were in a strong contrast and she spoke: "Mayor Ye, if you want to go down to investigate the situation, I think... it is more appropriate to go to She Autonomous County. That county is a microcosm of Lifeng City. There are many ethnic minorities, backward economy, vast land and sparse population, etc."

Ye Zhiran smiled and said, "Mayor Jiaxin and I have thought of going together. My first stop is She Autonomous County."

Li Jiaxin volunteered: "It's better for me to accompany Mayor Ye. That's my hometown, and I'm familiar with every grass and every tree there."

"But in this way, my identity has been exposed, is it a bit inappropriate?"

"Ah? Mayor Ye plans to learn the one in the TV series...a private visit?"

Ye Zhiran shook his hand and smiled, "It's not that serious. He just wants to go down and touch the situation. If the local people know my identity, they will be cautious when talking, either add fuel to the fire or cut corners. It's difficult to hear the truth and see the real situation."

"Haha, after Mayor Ye said this, I also have the urge to disguise myself and want to go and take a look."

"Mayor Jiaxin, you should be in the base camp. If you have any questions, we can communicate at any time... Well, by the way, I haven't asked you what you want."

Li Jiaxin laughed at herself: "Mayor Ye, I originally wanted to remind you to go to She Autonomous County first to learn about the situation. Obviously, this is a waste of time."

"Thank you, Mayor Jiaxin is intent." Ye Zhiran quickly realized that Li Jiaxin reminded him out of a high sense of responsibility for his work. If another deputy mayor was using his brain to guess Ye Zhiran's thoughts at this time, how could he "rbitrarily" remind him to go downstairs first?

The first contact between the two people is completely inconsistent with the normal state of the officialdom. After the official reaches the department level, they are meticulous and make plans. Even if they are interested in dating, they often have many twists and turns. You step by step and I will test each other step and survey each other... Those who are straightforward and quick to be confidants like Ye Zhiran and Li Jiaxin are actually a bit alternative... Because of this reason, after the two of them have a heart-to-heart relationship, they are a little happy from the bottom of their hearts.

The mayor and the executive vice mayor are the two most important figures of the municipal government. Because they involve power distribution, they are often somewhat alienated. The joy of the two is probably because they do not need to be so careful in the future, and they can do things with confidence.

The two met for the first time. After talking about their business, they naturally talked about their family situation. Ye Zhiran then learned that Mayor Jiaxin's lover was also an official. He worked in Lifeng City in his early years, so he met and got married. Now he has been transferred to the neighboring Jinzhong City as secretary-general of the municipal government, with a lower status than Li Jiaxin.

The next day, Feng Hanxuan returned to the provincial capital early in the morning. Yu Wanli, Ye Zhiran and others all went to see him off at the Municipal Party Committee Guesthouse.

Back at the municipal party committee and government compound, Yu Wanli tentatively contacted Ye Zhiran once, mainly because Yu Wanli was talking and Ye Zhiran was listening.

The conversation went smoothly. Since there was no specific person or matter involved, it was purely a matter of pursuing... Ye Zhiran could hear that Yu Shu~ I remember that after working hard to practice "internal skills" over the past few years, he has indeed made great progress.

Before the end, Ye Zhiran said, "Shu Yu~ Remember, I am going to spend a few days walking around the districts and counties below to touch the bottom of the city. The government work during this period is still under the responsibility of Mayor Jiaxin."

Yu Wanli looked at Ye Zhiran deeply, and judged the relationship between Ye Zhiran and Li Jiaxin in his heart. Naturally, he couldn't see it in his face. He nodded and said, "Yes, but you must let the comrades of the municipal government grasp your whereabouts. If you have any urgent matters, you can contact you in time."

"Okay, I will keep in touch with Mayor Jiaxin."

Mayor Jiaxin again?

Yu Wanli heard it in his ears and remembered it in his heart. He planned to talk to Li Jiaxin when Ye Zhiran left... If Li Jiaxin turned to him, he could use the executive vice mayor to undermine Ye Zhiran. Even if he could not undermine Ye Zhiran, he could still steal a lot of his power.

Another day passed, but Ye Zhiran still couldn't leave. Because this day, the Lifeng Municipal People's Standing Committee was held to discuss and vote on Ye Zhiran to be the acting mayor of Lifeng City.

Another day later, the position of acting mayor was officially approved by the Municipal People's Congress. Ye Zhiran took only Song Cheng, driving from Liu Dacheng to Jingni, the only She ethnic autonomous county in Lifeng City.

The She ethnic group, which is said to be the indigenous people of Fenghuang Mountain, moved to Jingni, Lifeng City. In the autonomous county of Lifeng City, there are about 20,000 She ethnic residents living, accounting for about 11 of the total population of the county.

The car was bumpy all the way and arrived at the location of Jingni County Government. Songcheng found a hotel to stay in.

Lifeng City is mountainous, with more than 800 mountains above 1,000 meters, continuous. The mountains and water form the characteristics of the scenery mud.

Parked the car in the hotel parking lot, and the three of them walked out of the hotel to have a meal. After dinner, when the three of them walked to the fork in the road near the hotel, they saw a wedding procession between She men and women passing by.

Ye Zhiran stopped and heard that the marriage of ethnic minorities retained ancient customs. When he first encountered it, he naturally became interested in seeing it.

There were about twenty or thirty people in the bride-welcoming team. The people in front carried wedding items and were covered with colorful quilts. Then they were in a big red sedan chair. The sedan chair was a bit special. The top was in the shape of a pavilion with four corners. Two people carried the sedan chair, and the groom was wearing big red clothes and walked next to the sedan chair.

Ye Zhiran looked at the groom. He was about 1.75 meters tall, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a mole on the corner of his mouth. He looked very handsome.

Perhaps it is because of the customs. When the wedding party passed by, the streets were filled with people watching the fun.

"Anning, you're a big wedding!"

The county is not big and the population is very small. Most locals know each other.
