Chapter 4: Cow Dung
Of course the old mayor was rescued and is not in danger of life, but he has to stay in the hospital for half a month.
So the old mayor was spared from the next three days of meetings.
Mo Wu was spared because he hinted to Hu Jiao that he should prepare a show to make amends for his crime over the weekend.
Everyone else, without exception, put down whatever work they were doing. Liu Jie's eyes were truly opened during these three days, as she finally saw the level of the prodigies who graduated from the country's top political theory school.
Liu Jie adjusted her mindset from the next day. She felt that she was a genius and was extremely grateful to her aunt, whom she once satirized as petty bourgeois. If it weren't for her aunt's love for opera, she would have been poisoned while living in her aunt's house for three years when she was in high school.
It is simply impossible to escape unscathed from Hu Jiao’s “Let’s have a meeting” abuse!
For example, Ren Qiang, the deputy mayor. Now when he sees Hu Jiao, he is like a mouse seeing a cat, hiding if possible. If he can't avoid it, he will respond to any request. As long as Hu Jiao assigns a task, Ren Qiang privately said that he would risk his life even if it means going through fire and water!
But, we must not let Secretary Hu say, "Let's have a meeting."
After this study meeting, the working style of all leading cadres in Wuhe Town has indeed changed greatly from before. This was witnessed by the deputy secretary of the county party committee when he brought his relatives to the town to handle the conversion of agricultural to non-agricultural household registration.
This deputy secretary had just been transferred here from a neighboring county, and few people in Wuhe Town or even the county party committee knew him.
He originally thought that if he didn't reveal his identity, this kind of thing would take at least a few days to complete, but it was completed that day.
Moreover, the reception staff was very polite, smiling, gentle and sincere.
It is said that people in their town are planning to set up a convenient service hall to bring together all foreign-related departments, save procedures and formalities, and reduce the trouble of running around.
Of course, the most important point is that this will be included in the work assessment.
The deputy secretary of the county party committee was very interested in the staff's opinions. He thought there would be some resistance, but he didn't expect the answer to be: "As long as we do a good job and satisfy the people, there is no need to hold a meeting."
Can a meeting have such a strong deterrent effect?
Would these old officials who have always been very successful at the grassroots level be afraid of attending meetings? All along, the reason why grassroots work has not been carried out well is that many such slippery officials do not work hard, and there are countermeasures for policies from above, which has turned the rule of law into the rule of man, and the corruption of institutional management has turned into management by personal relationships.
However, when the deputy secretary inquired about the content of the meeting, everyone became tight-lipped and remained secretive.
Just recently, the deputy secretary proposed at the county party committee office meeting that the leaders of Wuhe Town report on their relevant experiences.
County Party Secretary Chen Zhao also found it a bit strange after hearing this. It seemed that he had not heard any rumors. However, a few days ago, Hu Jiao and Mo Wu had a quarrel over a beautiful female cadre at a meeting, and the meeting ended in a bad mood. He originally wanted to come forward to say hello, but later he heard that it was a misunderstanding, so he didn't take it to heart.
Now the new deputy secretary is speaking from his own experience, and one cannot help but believe it.
Let’s not talk about how the county committee intends to learn from this. Let’s talk about Comrade Hu Jiao.
The day after the meeting, the cadres of Wuhe Town were unprecedentedly enthusiastic and carried out Secretary Hu Jiao's instructions perfectly. They changed several street-facing windows on the first floor of the town office into roller shutters, then arranged the desks of each department in order, made a sign for the convenience service hall, and officially opened for business on the third day.
According to past practice, for such work, if it is not delayed for several months for "renovation", financial funds will not be used to purchase office supplies, and there will be no procrastination due to a few remarks without any experience to draw on, who would dare to think that anyone would complete the task proactively, consciously and efficiently?
But the reality is happening right under our noses.
Liu Jie had to admit that Hu Jiao was an expert, and the actions of experts were unfathomable.
So on Saturday afternoon, when Hu Jiao came running over and invited her to join Secretary Mo's party with a flattering smile, Liu Jie pretended to decline a few words, thus satisfying Mr. Hu's vanity.
When Mo Wu guessed from Hu Jiao's ambiguous words that this guy wanted to take this opportunity to get Liu Jie drunk, so that he could do something shameful and take photos of her to increase his threat, he was really shocked!
Young people, dare to think, dare to act, it’s incredible, it’s incredible.
There is potential! Mo Wu smiled mysteriously again, signaling Hu Jiao that he would make sure that he would get what he wanted and feel very comfortable.
Hu Jiao's two narrow eyes almost narrowed into a slit.
Liu Jie did have a good impression of Hu Jiao. She had always had a good impression of him, and now she was even more curious about him.
In the past, if you said that he had dumplings in the teapot that couldn't be poured out, that was true, but after three days of meetings, looking at the entire office building, the atmosphere has changed, and it is back to the simple style of serving the people decades ago.
She also understood that if she developed a romantic relationship with Hu Jiao, it would really be like climbing up the social ladder for her. As for becoming a phoenix, it was only a matter of time.
So, she dressed up a little more today, applying light powder, lightly drawing eyebrows, and putting on red lipstick.
A plain white autumn skirt, pink and white stockings, silver leather shoes, an orchid brooch on the left chest, a large lapel, a low-slit lace shirt, a thin platinum chain around the neck, and a slight bend at the waist. The most gentle thing about her is the gentleness of her lowered head. The scenery inside is unique.
The breast valley is deep and the fragrant breeze is blowing.
When Hu Jiaochu saw it for the first time, the pair of crescent moons sparkled in her smile and lingered on the protruding parts of Liu Jie.
Even though Liu Jie has always been generous, she was still felt "molested" by Hu Jiao's eyes.
With her cheeks dark red, she punched him, "Where are you looking?"
Hu Jiao secretly swallowed his saliva, and the scene of Gou Rixin twisting and pounding the little bitch in the anus kept appearing in his mind, but the heroine had been automatically edited into Comrade Liu Jie beside him.
If this is true, I will go dig coal for another half a year...
Bah, bah, bah, what knowledge do you have? With my current status, do I still need to dig coal?
Hu Jiao looked at Liu Jie with a smile, and said in a sickly sweet voice, "Sister Liu, if I could marry you, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
As long as they are women, they will feel secretly happy when a man gives them sincere praise. She punched Hu Jiao again, with a smile on her face, full of charm.
"Nonsense!"
It is said that beautiful women tend to stimulate the secretion of male hormones in men, resulting in quick reactions, endless creative ideas, and natural humor.
Hu Jiao looked at Liu Jie infatuatedly again, "One smile can conquer a city, another smile can conquer a country, the ancients were right! Sister Liu, I am willing to be the little green leaf beside you, so that you can outshine all the beauties tonight!"
Of course, Hu Jiao willingly changed her name to "Qun Fang."
Liu Jie felt a little embarrassed. Although Hu Jiao's words were exaggerated, she couldn't get angry with his typical pig-like expression.
Mo Wu also stared with his eyes wide open, and then looked at Hu Jiao, this guy is such a bullshit.
Liu Jie has not been here long, and he was sent down from the provincial government for a training assignment. There are generally two types of people like him. One is someone with connections, like Hu Jiao, who has experience and will be promoted when he is older.
The second is those who have no background and offend people, and are exiled to poor counties for reform. This kind of people basically have no future, but women still have a chance, such as finding a capable man and making a second revolution.
No matter which type Liu Jie belongs to, in Mo Wu's opinion, she is all "meat" and will not burn your mouth when eaten. If she belongs to the first type, she is just looking for a handrail to climb up; if she belongs to the second type, where can you find such a pet?
It's a pity that Hu Jiao, this piece of "cow dung", has intervened. This nickname of cow dung was given by Ren Qiang on his own: cow dung refers to the angry young man who is a big shot.
Mo Wu drove the car himself, carrying a handsome man and a beautiful woman to Niujiao Mountain.
The three of them kept joking along the way. Of course, Liu Jie was the center, and the other two were the basic points.
Hu Jiao asked about the destination several times, but Mo Wu always avoided the question and never gave a direct answer. Hu Jiao simply decided to make the best of it and wholeheartedly joked with Liu Jie.
With his rich literary foundation and solid political theory level, if he really let go of his mind and chat, he would basically kill anyone who stands in his way, and kill gods who stand in his way.
Even Mo Wu was occasionally impressed by his slightly sharp but brilliant views. Hu Jiao had not been idle for the past year or so. He went to the countryside and conducted surveys in various villages, and had a basic understanding of the various situations in the rural areas.
Therefore, the problems pointed out are very to the point, and the solutions proposed are also very reasonable.
Liu Jie sighed, saying that as expected of someone who came from a high-ranking official family and was also known as a scholar within the Party, his reputation was well-deserved.
Of course, Hu Jiao is not just "elegant", there is also vulgarity, and this vulgarity has nothing to do with the real Hu Jiao. This is what Gou Rixin has learned after more than ten years of experience.
"Sister Liu, your name should be Liu Yourong." Hu Jiao's face was serious.
"Why?"
Mo Wu was also puzzled. Liu Jie was a good name, pure and innocent , very appropriate.
Hu Jiao explained seriously, "According to your characteristics, as the old saying goes, the sea accommodates all rivers and is tolerant..."
Liu Jie didn't wait for Hu Jiao to finish speaking and punched him with her little pink fists like raindrops, her face blushing with embarrassment.
Mo Wuze slammed on the brakes, leaned over the steering wheel and smiled like a toad that had taken an aphrodisiac.
When the two finally calmed down, Hu Jiao began to sigh again, "If I get married, my partner's name doesn't have to be Yourong. It would be best if it was Yishanjing."
This time Mo Wu reacted quickly, "The sun is shining brightly over the mountains, and the Yellow River is flowing into the sea."
Hu Jiao laughed and said, "There is no such thing as a free lunch, nor is there a free day..."
"Hu Jiao!"
For the first time in her life, Liu Jie understood the true meaning of "Rogues are not to be feared, what is to be feared is educated rogues."
After driving for an hour, a white wall emerged from a mountainside surrounded by green trees in the distance. Mo Wu finally revealed the answer, "This is the most famous Niushan Fragrant Meat in Mingjiang. Today, I invite you to taste the authentic, pure local fragrant meat."
The previous Hu Jiao might not quite understand what fragrant meat was, but the current Hu Jiao is so familiar with it that when he heard the word fragrant meat, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
In those years, Gou Rixin did a lot of immoral things like beating dogs. He knew better than anyone else which households had dogs within a radius of 100 miles, what their fur color was, and how big their dogs were.
Liu Jie had also heard of Mingjiang dog meat a long time ago. In the county town, Liu Bing took her there to eat it many times.
Mo Wu went on to say, "The Mingjiang Fragrant Meat is the most authentic here. They claim that the soup is a hundred years old, but that's just bragging. But the soup is more than ten years old. There are dozens of precious medicinal materials, plus wild mushrooms that go well with the flavor. Today's meal is something you can only eat a few times a year."
Hu Jiao smacked his lips, swallowed the foam and asked, "Have you prepared Maotai? Uncle Mo, you are not kind. You should have said you wanted to eat delicious meat earlier. I will go home and get two bottles of good wine."
Mo Wu laughed loudly and said, "Jiaojiao, although I am just a junior, I can still afford Moutai. Don't worry, I will make sure you eat well, drink well, and have fun tonight!"
When he said "have fun", he glanced at Liu Jie, afraid that he would have to change his name to "Yishan Jing" tonight, and once again looked down on the cow dung next to him.
Hu Jiao saw it and laughed in his heart. He was no longer the wooden scholar who was confused, ignorant, and only focused on reading the books of sages.
Alas, how pitiful! This old bastard Mo Wu was born at the wrong time. "Yourong" is mine, and "Yishanjing" is also mine.
After honking the horn, an old grey-haired man pushed open the double-open dark green gate of the courtyard. Inside was a circular rockery pond, which was not very large. There were a few lotus flowers scattered in the pond. The car continued to go around the pond. At the end of the yard, a burst of dog barking came. Upon careful listening, there were probably hundreds of dogs.
Liu Jie frowned. After all, she was a woman. She could probably handle eating only meat, but after hearing so many real dogs barking, and giving play to her extremely emotional imagination, her soft and compassionate nature as a woman could not help but show up.
Hu Jiao, however, was enjoying himself as he analyzed, "Tsk tsk, this is indeed a great place. Listen to the barking. There are at least ten three-year-old dogs, which is the prime age for puppies. Hmm, the sound is loud and powerful. This dog must weigh 60 kilograms!"
Mo Wu parked the car in front of a white building where four or five small cars were parked. Hu Jiao didn't care. It would be strange for an official to not eat or drink.
Liu Jie frowned again, and Mo Wu smiled and comforted her, "Xiao Liu has a good heart and can't stand such noise. Come, follow me upstairs first, it's quiet there, and we'll find two more people to play cards and dance with us later, and then we'll start when the time is right."
Hu Jiao didn't expect that when he pushed open the two solid wood carved doors, he would find himself in a magnificent place with crystal chandeliers and hundreds of lights emitting golden light, reflecting the rich peony pattern carpet on the ground. There were two passages on the left and right, a European-style low cabinet in the front, a spiral staircase on the side, and the carpet going up along the stairs. There were several oil paintings on the wall, which made the place look even more luxurious.
Two beautiful girls in red cheongsams came forward with happy faces.
One of them held a snow-white towel that was emitting mist in his hand, and the other looked at Mo Wu with a smile on his face and eyes, as tender as water, "Secretary Mo is here, you have worked hard on the journey."
As soon as he finished speaking, a towel was offered. Mo Wu was obviously very familiar with the place. He wiped his hands and face while smiling, "Is Hongmei on duty? Come, let's meet her. This is our town's Secretary Hu Jiao, and this is Mayor Liu Jie."
Hongmei smiled without changing her expression and nodded, "Hello, Secretary Hu, and Mayor Liu."
Hu Jiao stared at Hongmei from top to bottom, fearlessly, which made Hongmei's face stiffen. Mo Wu leaned over and whispered something in her ear. Hongmei nodded hurriedly and looked at Hu Jiao again with charming eyes and springy mouth.
However, our comrade Jiaojiao was hit in the waist several times by Liu Jie and finally returned to normal.
Wow, this little bitch has such a curvy figure.
It's so protruding and sticking out so hard, any man would have to bend down and shrink it when seeing it, right?
The slit of the cheongsam was high, revealing a stretch of white thigh skin, and the breath of youth filled her face, making Hu Jiao exclaim "Yishanjing".
Why hadn't I discovered such a place in Mingjiang before? Hu Jiao was secretly angry. He decided to gather all the town cadres together and hold a meeting to study the matter.
These bastards, if they are not punished for three days, they will tear down the roof and tear down the tiles.
Led by the white thighs, Hu Jiao followed closely up the stairs, swaying with every step. Liu Jie lowered her head and took two steps away, wishing she could write on her face: I don't know this person.
It doesn’t matter how he got in. Comrade Hu Jiao kept his eyes straight along the way.
If the white thing is a pile of rotten meat, then let me be a fly; if the white thing is a cracked egg, then let me continue to be a fly.
The shy and angry owner of Bai Huahua was less than five centimeters away from Hu Jiao's nose. They were already outside the private room reserved by Mo Wu. The two of them had already walked in under guidance, but Comrade Hu Jiao was still standing on the other side of the door in a daze, staring at Bai Huahua.
Hongmei was really angry and amused. She never thought that the son of the Organization Minister of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee would be such a character!
Hu Jiao looked at the other person's smiling face and couldn't help but said seriously: "Do you think I'm as annoying as a fly? If you think so, it's disrespectful to yourself! I hope you compare me to an amphibian."
Hongmei tilted her head slightly, not understanding what he meant. "What does it have to do with me if you think you're a fly?"
Hu Jiao asked in all seriousness, "What do flies bite?"
Hongmei spat and asked, "What are amphibians?"
Hu Jiao said expressionlessly: "Toad."
Hongmei giggled and covered her mouth with her hands. This guy is really interesting.
Hu Jiao's face changed, and he said in a playful and flattering way: "It's not appropriate to call you Hongmei, I think you should call you Sister Swan..." He glanced down, and then down again, and said slowly: "Bai...Sister Swan, sister, your skin is really good."
Hongmei bit her tender red lips, but her eyes showed a complex emotion.
Liu Jie looked back but didn't see Hu Jiao. The door of the box was not closed. She couldn't help but get a little angry when she heard Hu Jiao's nonsense. She shouted from inside: "Brother Toad, aren't you coming in?"
Hongmei bent over and smiled, and Hu Jiao took advantage of the opportunity to quickly peek into the collar of her cheongsam...
Hongmei quickly covered her collar and cursed with a smile: "Stinky toad."
Hu Jiao stretched his neck, and when Hongmei raised her head to let him go, he quietly blinked his left eye and said, "Come and toast later."
The way Hongmei bites her lips is indescribably charming and seductive, with desire in her grievance and expectation in her resistance.
Anyway, Hu Jiao felt that if he could bully them with real guns and bullets, it would be worthwhile to dig coal for another year...
Why coal mining again?
What a jerk! What a jerk!
Only when Hongmei's back disappeared in the stairwell did Hu Jiao walk into the box. Without even looking around, he sat down, feeling disappointed.
Unexpectedly, there was a scream behind him, and Hu Jiao stood up in a hurry, but the floor under his feet was not a carpet, but a wooden floor. He slipped and fell backwards.
By the time Hu Jiao reacted, he found two big balls of cotton on his back, and Yourong rubbed them until his eyes were red.
Liu Jie hammered and twisted Hu Jiao's back and waist fiercely, cursing, "Get up quickly! I've never seen anyone like you!"
Hu Jiao glanced at Mo Wu and hummed, "I'm weak all over, please don't touch me."
The whole person was pressed in Liu Jie's arms. At first, she didn't use much strength, but when she heard these words, she was no longer polite. She pinched a piece of thin skin on the waist, twisted, turned and pulled it. Hu Jiao jumped up like a pig being slaughtered, screaming.
Liu Jie cursed fiercely: "You deserve it!"
Mo Wu shook his head, it was indeed the cow dung secretary.
Hu Jiao turned his head. He was in so much pain that he looked at Mo Wu with tears in his eyes. "Secretary Mo, please take care of Liu Jie. She pinched me."
Liu Jie looked at Hu Jiao's sudden appearance of a good kid, how could she be angry? She laughed and scolded again, "You deserve to be strangled to death! Who told you to be blind and sit in someone's arms without permission?"
Hu Jiao pouted and still defended himself with great grievance, "In ancient times, there was Liu Xiahui who could sit on my lap without being tempted. Besides, I don't have eyes on my butt. Why do you have to sit in my seat when there are no other seats for you to sit in?"
Liu Jie was stunned. She opened her mouth to refute, but found that Hu Jiao was talking nonsense. She could only wave her hand and said, "Go away. I don't want to get entangled with you."
Mo Wu burst into laughter at the two people's antics, and pointed at Hu Jiao and said, "Liu Xiahui is a man, but our Mayor Liu is a beautiful woman. Come on, you two listen to some songs and dance first, I'll go make some arrangements."
Hu Jiao said, "Let's play cards first. Call Hongmei over. The four of us will play cards."
Liu Jie couldn't help rolling her eyes. Is this Hu Jiao?
Mo Wu waved his hand and said, "Let's move around before we drink. We'll play cards after dinner. I'll play cards with you all night tonight!"
