It can be seen that Zheng Hongfang does not care much about the identity of County Magistrate Chen Shaoping.
"Xiao Chen, it is indeed not easy for you to become the county magistrate at your age. Are you thirty?" Zheng Hongfang asked.
"Aunt Zheng, I am 33 years old!" Chen Shaoping answered truthfully.
There was no change on Zheng Hongfang's face, and she continued to ask: "I am 33 years old, is she in the year of sheep?"
"Aunt Zheng, who was born in the year of the Monkey." Chen Shaoping answered.
"What month is the monkey?"
"May."
Zheng Hongfang nodded slightly, looking away from Chen Shaoping and looking at the fruit plate on the table.
"Tongtong's eldest brother, Chun Lai, is also a monkey, but he is half a year younger than you!" Zheng Hongfang said lightly.
Chen Shaoping immediately didn't know how to answer the call.
From a few simple words, it can be seen that Zheng Hongfang is very concerned about Chen Shaoping's age.
At this moment, the sound of parking came from outside.
The eldest brother Li Chunlai, who was tall and had a similar appearance to Li Zhenbang, walked in.
Behind Li Chunlai was a tall, outstanding-looking woman in her late twenties, who was Li Yutong's sister-in-law Zhang Jing.
There was a little girl over three years old in her arms.
"Aunt, aunt..." The little girl clamored for Li Yutong to hug her as soon as she entered the door.
Chen Shaoping stood aside and greeted Li Chunlai cordially: "Hello, Mr. Li!"
Li Chunlai reached over, shook hands with Chen Shaoping warmly, and said with a smile: "Chen Shaoping, right? What do you call Mr. Li at home? Just call me big brother!"
Chen Shaoping smiled awkwardly and couldn't say "big brother". After all, Zheng Hongfang just said: He is half a year older than Li Chunlai.
"Hello, brother!" Chen Shaoping greeted with a smile, and then stopped. He didn't know if Zheng Hongfang would use age as an issue at this time.
But Zheng Hongfang just smiled slightly and did not say anything about Chen Shaoping's age or embarrass Chen Shaoping.
"Shaoping, where do you work?" Li Chunlai sat down casually and asked with a smile.
"Cangyang County Government of Jiangli City!" Chen Shaoping replied.
Li Chunlai was obviously stunned for a moment, but he still said with a smile: "I have been to Jiangli City. Our Guomao Group has projects there, but I haven't been to Cangyang yet!"
Chen Shaoping said with a smile: "Cangyang is not far from Jiangli City, which is more than 70 kilometers, but the development is a little behind!"
"Working in the county government is a grassroots job. The whole province has been engaged in poverty alleviation work in recent years. I remember that the old man even went to Cangyang for an inspection!" Li Chunlai said.
"Yes, I even made a report to Governor Li!" Chen Shaoping replied.
Li Chunlai nodded and asked again: "Shaoping, what position do you hold in the Cangyang County Government?"
"Currently, he serves as county magistrate in the Cangyang County Government!" Chen Shaoping replied.
Li Chunlai nodded slightly, not caring much about the county magistrate of Cangyang.
After all, he is the deputy general manager of Jinjiang International Trade Group, a large state-owned enterprise with a market value of more than 100 billion.
Although Li Chunlai is only a deputy general manager, he can mobilize tens of billions of funds in his hands. Wherever he goes, he is personally received by the secretaries of municipal party committees and mayors at various levels.
After chatting like this for more than an hour, the special car of Executive Vice Governor Li Zhenbang came back.
The full-time secretary and driver took Li Zhenbang to the door of his house before leaving. Li Zhenbang walked in with a briefcase in his hand and wearing a casual jacket.
When he saw Chen Shaoping, he immediately walked over with a smile and took the initiative to shake hands with Chen Shaoping: "Shaoping, have you been here for a while?"
"Hello, Uncle Li, I've just arrived!" Chen Shaoping said excitedly.
Li Zhenbang nodded and asked Chen Shaoping to sit down, and then said proudly to his wife Zheng Hongfang and son Li Chunlai: "Chen Shaoping, the county magistrate of Cangyang County, Jiangli City, can be the county magistrate at his age. Looking at the entire Jinjiang Province, he is one of the few." Countless! Moreover, Chen Shaoping’s performance in the poverty alleviation tasks carried out in the province is the best!”
Li Zhenbang's praise and regard for Chen Shaoping made Chen Shaoping very excited. At the same time, it was in sharp contrast to the cold attitudes of Zheng Hongfang, Li Chunlai and others.
When Li Yutong saw that her father valued Chen Shaoping so much, she put down her little niece in her arms, sat next to Li Zhenbang, and held Li Zhenbang's arm affectionately, her face full of happiness.
"At first, when Yutong stayed in Cangyang and couldn't be called back, I felt something was wrong. She also said that she couldn't bear to leave Shaoli..."
Having said this, Li Zhenbang looked at his daughter Li Yutong next to him with affection, pointed his hand gently at Li Yutong's forehead and said, "This girl, even her father lied to her... it's outrageous."
Before Li Zhenbang came back, Chen Shaoping felt that the atmosphere in the room was quite depressing.
Whether it was Zheng Hongfang or Li Chunlai talking to each other, Chen Shaoping could feel that they had a clear sense of superiority and a slight sense of rejection towards Chen Shaoping.
But as soon as Li Zhenbang came back, just a few words made Chen Shaoping's blood boil and his mood lifted.
"It seems that the magnanimity of big leaders is indeed different from that of ordinary people!" Chen Shaoping couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Shaoping, now that the province's poverty alleviation work has begun, how is your poverty alleviation work in Cangyang? You are a national-level poverty-stricken county. When the time comes, you will welcome the central inspection team, so you must not be careless!"
Li Zhenbang sat on the sofa, gently crossing his legs, looking very casual.
Suddenly there was a "pop" sound, and Li Chunlai's daughter knocked the fruit plate off the table. The fruit fell to the floor, and the child was so frightened that she started crying.
When Li Zhenbang saw him, he said: "Naughty!" Then he stood up with a smile and said to Chen Shaoping: "Let's go upstairs to the study and have a good talk!"
Chen Shaoping stood up and was about to follow Li Zhenbang upstairs.
"Dad, I'm here as a guest, not to talk about work!"
Li Chunlai said from the side.
"What impact does this have?" Li Zhenbang asked back and continued walking upstairs.
Chen Shaoping could only follow and came to Li Zhenbang's study.
Li Zhenbang sat at the desk, took the initiative to hand Chen Shaoping a cigarette, and said with a smile: "Shaoping, Chunlai and his mother, including Yutong, are all flowers in the greenhouse. They have no experience in working at the grassroots level. In the provincial capital, Everything you do is always good! And it’s not the same system as ours. I don’t know how much effort it takes for you to rise from a grassroots cadre to the position of county magistrate!"
"Uncle Li, it's entirely thanks to you that I can become the county magistrate. If you hadn't gone to Dongshan Township to inspect and given me a chance to report to you... I would probably be an office director at most now!"
Chen Shaoping said it openly in front of Li Zhenbang.
