Chapter 99: Ambition

Although the Spring Festival schedule is not as compact as when working in the local area, there is an additional pregnancy incident this year, especially when Qu Yunbai is likely to go to Hong Kong shortly after the Spring Festival, Zhao Guodong basically has to accompany Qu Yunbai every night.

Fortunately, Liu Ruotong will not return to the capital on the fifth day of the first lunar month, so that Zhao Guodong will not face a dilemma.

This year, Cai Zhengyang, Liu Daoyuan and Xiong Zhenglin did not return to Andu. The tradition of gathering that had been continuing for many years ended. This made Zhao Guodong feel a little bad. Although there were all banquets in the world, as several brothers took a higher and higher position, their paths were different.

Compared to his busy work in the previous two years and his lack of pleasure in the past two years, Zhao Guodong is very satisfied with the fact that he has more time this year and does he feel too much work pressure.

Since he has left Anyuan's circle, Zhao Guodong feels much more comfortable. After all, being out of people's attention means that not many people pay attention to their private lives.

"You said you want to go to the Beijing Office?" Zhao Guodong asked in surprise, and put down the coffee cup in his hand.

"Why, don't you welcome it?" The girl's slightly curled eyelashes flashed twice, "Are you afraid that I will cause you any trouble?"

"Haha, where did you go, Lan Dai, I just think it's not good for you to stay in the Andu Municipal Government Office? Why do you have to go to this Beijing office? The job there doesn't seem to be suitable for a girl." Zhao Guodong frowned, "And you are not young anymore, so you should consider your marriage."

"I remember that I seem to belong to someone long ago." Lan Dai smiled playfully, "Maybe some people don't care, but I remember my promise."

Zhao Guodong felt like a big head for a moment. Lan Dai's problem was something he had never wanted to touch. This girl seemed to recognize herself, and was even more difficult to deal with than Han Dong. Han Dong could at least remain rational, and this girl seemed to have a bit of a stubborn smell. Zhao Guodong couldn't tell what the girl was thinking in her heart, but one thing is certain that she was definitely not the kind of honest and honest person who was not stupid.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhao's country called the girl up. After dinner, Lan Dai generously invited herself to sit in the cafe. He couldn't refuse, and he wanted to talk to this girl who had never met before.

Although I never took Lan Dai's words to heart, the girl's oath always felt a little lingering.

"Landai, you also know my current situation. I am already married. There is nothing that can happen between me and you." Zhao Guodong said bitterly.

"Is that right? I haven't said what will happen to us. If we really want to happen to us, I don't think it's up to you and I can control it, right?" Lan Dai smiled, and couldn't help but say that this girl smiled so confusingly, especially her eyes were quite discharged.

"Landai, I'm honest, I have some feelings for you, but I have never had any inappropriate thoughts about you. I just treat you as my sister. What do you say? I hope you can live a good life, really, but I don't think you are rational in doing this. In fact, sometimes when you get out of this horn, you will feel enlightened and you will find how ridiculous and childish everything is, you..."

Zhao Guodong was about to convince Lan Dai patiently, but was interrupted by Lan Dai elegantly and playfully: "Brother Guodong, I just want to ask one thing, have you said this to Xiaoou?"

Zhao Guodong opened his mouth and said for a long time: "Uh, I said, I said, she..."

"Then what happened to you with her?" Lan Dai supported her hands under her jaw, staring at Zhao Guodong who was in a mess without blinking.

Zhao Guodong was speechless.

"Brother Guodong, I believe in my own feelings. I can command my own consciousness. Just like Xiaoou, I didn't force anything. I was just waiting for my own opportunities in the dark. That's all. Please stop persuading or condescending sympathy to me. I don't need it." Lan Dai's face was as constant as if she was narrating something that had nothing to do with the two of them.

Faced with such words, Zhao Guodong didn't know what to say except to change the topic. Fortunately, Lan Dai didn't have any excessive requests, and I hope that time can abrade all her paranoia.

"Tan Lifeng is very low-key after coming. Everyone is waiting and watching. I hope to see what new mayor can take. So far, no action has been seen."

Gui Quanyou was not the first Huaiqing cadre to visit Zhao Guodong. Wang Lijuan and Zang Keming came earlier than him.

Zhao Guodong could only receive these guests at his parents' home. At this time, he realized that he did not have a single residence in Andu. Of course, the dormitory of the Transportation Department was a little bit shabby. Zhao Guodong had not asked about it for so many years and threw it there.

Previously, Wang Lijuan, Zang Keming and Gui Quanyou said something similar. After Tan Lifeng took office, he only went to various counties and districts to conduct research, and there were no new moves. In fact, Huaiqing's development speed was not slow under the driving force of inertia. If Tan Lifeng was smart, he should keep this way and wait for personnel changes in the second half of this year. Chen Yinglu could not continue to stay in Huaiqing. Everything can be planned after he took over as the secretary of the municipal party committee.

"Lijuan, Keming, Quanyou, I have completely left Anyuan, and I am not qualified to point out Huaiqing's affairs. However, I have worked in Huaiqing for three years and have a lot of feelings for Huaiqing. It can be said that Huaiqing is deeply engraved in my mind bit by bit. I really feel reluctant to leave at the beginning." Zhao Guodong said with a smile and a little emotion: "You three are now the top leaders of the governments of the three most economically developed districts and counties in Huaiqing. The party committee sets the tone and the government does practical things. I hope you three will not be affected by my departure. They should focus on how to do a good job in the economy and make some decent achievements. This is not for the secretary and mayor, but for the benefit of the people in the area, and be worthy of the position they sit in."

All three of them nodded silently.

"You three counties and districts have their own districts and county feelings. Huaiqing is facing a good development situation. How to seize opportunities and combine them with reality, there is still a lot of work to do." Zhao Guodong also felt that he had returned to the old topic as he said it, and smiled self-mockingly: "Look, I am used to being natural, and I can't change it after walking for so long."

"Mayor Zhao, don't say that. Although you are leaving, the people of Huaiqing are all sharp-eyed. They know very well who really wants to do something practical for them." Zang Keming said emotionally: "I, Lao Zang, are sure that you will come back. Maybe the next time you return to our Huaiqing is not necessarily the case if you come back as a provincial leader."

Wang Lijuan and Gui Quanyou also laughed. Zang Keming's words were really straightforward. He said whatever he thought of, and he was too lazy to turn around.

"Old Zang, I'll ask you to be a good person." Zhao Guodong smiled, "Don't leave at noon for three of you, just have a meal at my house. My mother has good skills. You may have tired of eating big fish and meat outside during this period. Let's try home-cooked dishes today."

It was not until the three of them left that Zhao Guodong returned to the sofa and fell into deep thought. He could hear some clues from the three of them. The three of them still hoped that they could return to Huaiqing, but the current situation was very slim.

Although Tan Lifeng did not make any big moves, Chen Yinglu pushed him very high. In addition to the two of them having a good personal relationship, they probably came from the instruction of Anyuan Provincial Party Committee.

Chen Yinglu probably only has a few months to step down. Tan Lifeng has to adapt as soon as possible in such a short time. Although Tan Lifeng has a deep foundation in Huaiqing, he has never served as the main leader of the party and government after all, and the transition time of the mayor position is too short. The province is probably still worried that it will affect Huaiqing's development, so Chen Yinglu is so hard to fuel Tan Lifeng.

If Tan Lifeng takes over as the secretary of the municipal party committee, of course he will not be able to go back to serve as mayor. If he really wants to take over Chen Yinglu's secretary of the municipal party committee, then the province will not let Tan Lifeng go back to serve as the mayor. After all, it is indeed a bit unreasonable to go down to the deputy secretary-general of the provincial party committee to serve as mayor in the prefectures. If it is just a transition, it is almost the same. In fact, this denies the possibility of returning to Huaiqing, and it is hard to say how much the possibility of returning to Anyuan is.

If you don’t feel regretful, that’s a lie. Huaiqing has already laid a pretty good foundation in his own hands, especially in the electronic information industry. Even Xiao Gui and Cao Sui can still bear fruit in the past two years. What a pity, it’s a waste of money for others.

So what? Zhao Guodong laughed silently. Could it be that without the foundation, he could not start from scratch in other places?

What a joke, that's too much of a slight look down on yourself!
