st in peace. 。That's why he has been hesitating. 。Now, Xiao Zheng actually spoke directly, straightforwardly inviting him to "sweep away evil and eradicate black forces" together! How could He Xinlia...Xiao Zheng has one characteristic: he doesn't believe in superstition. 。The harder people try to stop him, the further he'll go; the more they try to deny him, the more he'll prove them wrong. 。This time, Chen Guangming messed up his promotion to county magistrate. He wanted to show them that he was upright and fearless, asking himself with a clear conscience, "Even if you haunt me as ghosts, you can't touch me!" Xiao Zheng just wanted to become the county magistrate through honest work, serving the people, and taking on the leadership position fairly and squarely. 。It was the weekend, and Chen Guangming and his daughter Chen Hong returned to their home in An County together. 。Chen Hong serves as a member and director of the Office in the Municipal Committee Organization Department, while Chen Guangming is an assistant director at the Municipal Agriculture Bureau. Together, their monthly salaries reach seven or eight thousand yuan after deductions. 。Originally, if the money earned from "playing with fire" could be fully recovered, Chen could buy a 200-square-meter house in Jingzhou!

But unexpectedly, this "playing with fire" thing went bust as expected, resulting in heavy losses for the Chen family, losing most of their capital. An entire set of houses shrunk to just one room! This incident gave Chen Guangya a toothache for many days and made Sun Wenmin still have stomach pain to this day. 。Today's dinner, Sun Wenmin cooked as usual quite lavishly, but it was somewhat bland. 。Before, only Chen Guangming served as the leader at home, and he was only at the deputy department level. 。At that time, within this family, Chen Guangming enjoyed the dignity of being a homeowner. Sun Wenmin was a devoted wife and mother. Their daughter, Chen Hong, was a teacher with a simple and respectable job. Although their prospective son-in-law, Xiao Zheng, was only a town cadre at the time, he was at least a civil servant. Later, Xiao Zheng prospered and gave Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin an unexpected surprise. 。Ever since Chen Hong insisted on leaving the teaching ranks and joined the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, things have been developing in an uncontrollable direction bit by bit... Now, although Chen Guangming is already a deputy department-level official, and Chen Hong is very close to becoming one as well, the atmosphere at home has changed. 。The warmth of a small family slowly disappeared, just like the apples on the table that dried up. 。

Especially this time, Chen Hong conveyed Secretary Tan's meaning and asked Chen Guangming to report Xiao Zheng by name. 。Even if Chen Guangming was completely clueless, he already knew that the relationship between Chen Hong and Tan Zhen had reached a point where it was impossible to explain clearly. 。Chen Guangming was very reluctant to report Xiao Zheng about his own daughter's matter. 。Even if it were true that Xiao Zheng had dumped his own daughter, Chen Guangming wouldn't want to make this public. This wasn't a matter of adding glory to himself; it was about sullying his and his daughter's image. 。This is Secretary Tan's requirement, and Chen Hong also asked him to do so. 。Chen Guangming was reluctant at the time. He said, "Chen Hong, this is not a good thing, is it What's in it for us to report Xiao Zheng and prevent him from being promoted Besides, letting those above know about your romantic involvement with Xiao Zheng wouldn't be good for your own career development." 。Besides, my dad is a man of principle. He'll address things head-on and wouldn't resort to backstabbing. 。"Chen Guangming actually somewhat believes in the saying 'What goes around comes around'. Today you did this kind of shameful thing, it's hard to guarantee that others won't do the same to you in the future." 。By this age, Chen Guangming doesn't care about promotions anymore. All he wants is to maintain his dignity in his later years. 。Ke Chenhong retorted, “Dad, do you think I want to do this But it’s Secretary Tan’s instruction. We want to do it, we can; if we don’t want to do it, we have to!” 。"Dad, your position was promoted by Secretary Tan. Don't you remember" "I know, it was Secretary Tan who promoted me." 。"Chen Guangming was agitated, "I've already paid the price with my daughter, isn't that enough"

Chen Hong stared at her father in astonishment. What Chen Guangming meant by "I've already paid the price with my daughter" was crystal clear!

Chen Hong had originally thought that her father didn't know about the relationship between her and Secretary Tan at all. 。

Who would have thought he was so clear-headed inside

Even so, Chen Hong still said: "Dad, things have come to this point, we can't back down now." 。"Secretary Tan has already said, as long as you help me with this, I can become the deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department!" Chen Guangming looked at his daughter: "Do you really want to be a deputy director" Chen Hong said, "Dad, I've put in so much, do you think it's for nothing"Chen Guangming stared at his daughter: "Is this worth it"Chen Hong said: "In this world, there isn't that much about what is worthy or unworthy, only whether you want it or not I only know that people go where they are meant to be, water flows downhill, as long as we have the opportunity, we must keep climbing upwards, always upwards, we must climb upwards. Dad, only then can we live better." 。Chen Guangming looked at Chen Hong, his eyes seeming to contain a hint of pity. His daughter's words were indeed the reality of this society. But deep in Chen Guangming's heart was a worry, a profound worry, whether his daughter would ever be able to experience the taste of happiness in her lifetime Sometimes, happiness is very simple; it has nothing to do with wealth or status. 。Some people reach the pinnacle of society and amass vast fortunes, yet they never truly experience what happiness is. 。。Chen Hong retorted, "Dad, how do you know that a high position doesn't necessarily mean happiness You haven't even reached that position yourself!"Chen Hong's words struck a nerve with Chen Guangming. He said, "Fine, since you want me to write this letter of denunciation, I will." 。Anyway, Xiao Zheng really did waste your youth, and he should pay a price for it!

After all, Chen Hong is her own daughter, even if she's wrong, Chen Guangming will still blame others for it. 。Chen Hong said: "Thank you, Dad. Once this is done, not only will I be promoted, but Secretary Tan will also find an opportunity to get you promoted even further." 。"At my age, being a deputy director or a director doesn't make much difference to me," Chen Guangming waved his hand. 。Moreover, being the Chief Director isn't easy either. The pressure is much greater than it is now. 。After I write this complaint letter, it's also considered to repay Secretary Tan's promotion of me. I hope that I won't be asked to do this kind of thing again in the future. 。After that, Chen Guangming wrote this letter of accusation. 。Today, in this house in An County, Chen Guangming, Sun Wenmin, and Chen Hong are eating a table of bland food. 。Chen Guangming kept drinking his sorrows away. Sun Wenmin and Chen Hong each had a glass of red wine in front of them, but Sun Wenmin didn't touch it much. 。Chen Hong felt the atmosphere was quite awkward, so she picked up her wine glass and said, “Dad, Mom, I'll toast to you.” 。As he said this, he raised his highball glass and bumped it against Chen Guangming's shot glass and Sun Wenmin's red wine glass. 。Chen Guangming sighed and finished the white wine in his cup. 。Sun Wenmin also took a sip, put the cup on the table, and then asked, "Chen Hong, didn't Xiao Zheng become the county magistrate this time"

Chen Hong glanced at Chen Guangming. Regarding Xiao Zheng's original plan to become the county magistrate, only her father knew about it. She told Chen Guangming not to tell their mother. 。It seems Chen Guangming still told his wife. 。Chen Hong replied: "Not yet" 。This is quite normal, he's currently the Deputy County Head, and that's pretty fast. 。Sun Wenmin nodded: "That's true." 。I've never seen such a young executive deputy county magistrate. 。But I didn't expect that you would help some people to fix Xiao Zheng. 。He used to be your boyfriend, didn't he 。"When Sun Wenmin mentioned the words 'discipline Xiao Zheng', Chen Hong felt a pang in her heart. She defended herself: "I wasn't disciplining him, I was helping him, making it clear to him who he should follow in Jiangzhong and Jingzhou." 。He's still confused. 。Sun Wenmin and Chen Guangming looked at each other, Sun Wenmin suddenly asked: "Chen Hong, are you sure it's not you who is muddled" Chen Hong's eyes widened in surprise, and she almost cried out: "Dad, Mom, what's going on! Are you on my side, or Xiao Zheng's You have to know, it was Xiao Zheng who proposed the breakup! He's the one at fault, do you know that!"As Chen Hong said this, she suddenly burst into tears, throwing her chopsticks onto the table and running into her room, slamming the door shut. 。Sun Wemin and Chen Guangming looked at each other, both helpless about their unmarried daughters. 。As soon as their daughter gets angry and cries, they dare not say another word. 。Chen Guangming sighed and said, "Forget it, wife. Don't say any more." 。After all, she's our only daughter. 。"Sun Wenmin also let out a sigh, feeling helpless about his daughter's affairs." 。

A new Monday, it suddenly started snowing sleet. 。This signifies that winter has officially arrived. 。But, the provincial committee organization department as scheduled announced the cadres. 。Xiao Jingyu was promoted to the position of Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Sun Yqi became the Deputy Director of the Municipal People's Congress, and so on, all positions were filled. 。Xiao Zheng was only the deputy county magistrate, so he naturally didn't have the qualifications to attend the cadre meeting. However, after the meeting, Sun Yiqi called Xiao Zheng: "County Magistrate Xiao, I'd like to treat you to dinner tonight >>> 。"Of course I came to invite Secretary Sun, to celebrate Secretary Sun's promotion." 。Sun Yichi said, “On the surface, I’m promoting him, but everyone knows what’s really going on.” 。Just you and me tonight, no need to call anyone else. 。It seems Sun Yiqi has something to say to me, so Xiao Zheng said: “Okay, I understand.” 。How about we book the Anhai Hotel It's away from the city center, so it's quite peaceful. 。"Sun Yiqi said, “Well, I haven't paid enough attention to the Anhai Hotel before.” 。I heard they're already in soft opening, so why don't we stay there tonight and have some drinks and catch up 。"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." 。"Sun Yiqi said, "As I promised to treat you, I'll have my secretary make the arrangements." 。We meet there at six thirty. 。Sun Yiqi was determined to leave, so she became more carefree. She decided to stay at the Anhai Hotel. 。Xiao Zheng thought, his parents were right at the foot of the hotel, so he could take this chance to go see them. 。family were present. He immediately understood why breakfast was arranged in such a good private room today! The two young masters didn't go back until late yesterday, and they came again so early tod...
