Chapter 32 Protected from the wind and rain
Li Taoying nodded obediently, leaned down and kissed him on the cheek, whispering gently in his ear, "I'll wait for you. It'll be alright, everything will pass. What storms haven't you weathered?"
After saying that, she swayed her hips and went out, drove home, and waited for the man who was 20 years older than her to arrive.
Li Taoying was previously a teacher at the county high school.
Later, I went to the county with the director of the Education Bureau to attend a meeting, and that's how I met Zhou Xiangzhang.
Director Liao of the Education Bureau was a man, and he understood men best. He could tell from Zhou Xiangzhang's eyes that Zhou Xiangzhang liked Li Taoying.
She has a large bottom, a small waist, full lips, and fair skin.
She's not exactly stunningly beautiful, but she's not even as beautiful as Xiao Lili.
In a county town, this is considered quite good.
Their strength lies in their cultural background and distinguished demeanor, and the added prestige of being a teacher further enhances their unique aura.
To outsiders, she has always been a very proper, gentle, and serious person.
Her professional skills and education were superior to Xiao Lili's, so after Zhou Xiangzhang won her over, he supported her all the way, and she eventually became the director of the county party committee office and a member of the county party committee standing committee.
He is undoubtedly a senior official in Yuanshan County.
The director of the county party committee office is the top leader of the county party committee office, and his administrative rank is equivalent to that of a section chief.
The director of the county party committee office is the chief steward of the entire county party committee. He liaises with various departments at higher levels to serve the work of the county party secretary, and supervises the implementation of various policies of the county party committee. He is a truly powerful figure.
The director of the county party committee office in Yuanshan County is followed by the first deputy director, who is in charge of the daily work of the county party committee office.
Meanwhile, the director of the county party committee office is also in charge of the policy research office, reception office, party history office, government affairs management bureau, and petition bureau.
This demonstrates the importance of Li Taoying as the chief steward of the county committee, and her position in Zhou Xiangzhang's heart.
Zhou Xiangzhang wouldn't have placed Li Taoying in this core position if he didn't absolutely trust her.
This woman had clashed with Dawei several times in the past.
The director of the county party committee office needs to uphold the authority of the county party committee:
As the director of the county government office, Dawei was required to carry out the intentions of County Magistrate Qiao Yong.
The two naturally had constant disagreements.
Qiao Yong had Dawei write the main article, publicizing the various drawbacks of sacrificing the environment for development, but Li Taoying had the propaganda department suppress Dawei's material and prevent it from being published.
Qiao Yong took Dawei to Shenzhen to attract investment, hoping to bring in some clean energy companies. Li Taoying then tried to sabotage the reception and create obstacles with land policies.
Dawei, in conjunction with schools in the county, launched a county-wide legal education campaign. Li Taoying went along with Dawei's wishes, outwardly agreeing and supporting it, but secretly arranged for the police officer in charge of giving the lecture to take leave at the last minute. This last-minute change of personnel resulted in a less than satisfactory outcome.
These are just a few examples.
In Zhou Xiangzhang's case, Li Taoying's role was even more significant than Xie Changhe's.
She originally had a husband, but they divorced after she moved to the county.
He lives in a villa near the county government building.
Zhou Xiangzhang didn't let the driver drive, nor did he use any county-owned vehicles. Instead, he drove his own car directly into the villa's garage.
The car was an unassuming old Honda Fit, inexpensive and unremarkable, with dark black film applied to the windows.
After getting out of the car, use the remote control to close the garage roller shutter door, so that outsiders cannot see it from inside the villa.
Zhou Xiangzhang often comes here during her lunch break or when she's out socializing late and doesn't want to go home.
Upon arriving at the villa, they saw that Li Taoying had already taken a shower and changed into a pink slip dress, reclining on the Simmons bed, revealing her snow-white thighs and striking bright red toenail art.
Seeing such a beauty, most of his bad mood disappeared. With the mindset of "live for the moment" and "use your power today," he took off his shirt and pounced on the bed.
One minute later.
Zhou Xiangzhang lit a cigarette.
He knew he couldn't satisfy the woman in front of him.
He also knew that once he lost power, the woman in front of him would immediately turn to someone else.
But he didn't care about any of that.
One day is one day.
Li Taoying is also a woman who understands men very well and can guess the other person's mindset.
Therefore, she pretended to be indifferent to worldly desires, because she was infatuated with Zhou Xiangzhang's personality rather than the power he held, in order to win his favor.
At this moment, Li Taoying, feigning happiness, hugged Zhou Xiangzhang's wrinkled body and nestled her face against his heart like a little bird.
"Xiangzhang, you'll be fine, don't worry."
Xie Changhe dared not say anything to the people from the Discipline Inspection Commission.
Even if you did tell, we wouldn't have any evidence against you. You weren't involved in any illegal or disorderly conduct, so what are you afraid of?
In a daze, Zhou Xiangzhang seemed to have truly found a woman who understood him, and found solace in her. He placed his hand on Li Taoying's shoulder and gently stroked it.
"What's done is done, there's no use worrying about it now."
there is always a solution to a problem.
What I'm worried about is what hasn't happened yet.
What kind of person will the new county head be?
Could it be someone like Qiao Yong again?
If so, then that's troublesome.
He can handle one Qiao Yong, but he can't handle a second one.
If something like what happened to Qiao Yong were to happen again, Zeng Yongqiang from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection might have to personally handle the case.
When that time comes, no one can stop him.
Li Taoying kissed him on the cheek and said gently, "If nothing has happened, then there's even less to worry about. You're just wasting your time."
No matter who comes, their contributions to Yuanshan County cannot be denied.
Even Qiao Yong, the previous leader, first acknowledged your contributions to the economic development of Yuanshan County.
The organization is reasonable.
Zhou Xiangzhang knew how much of what he said was exaggerated, but she still found it very pleasing, as if she had finally found a kindred spirit, and her heart swelled up a little.
"That's right. After I came up here, Yuanshan County's economic ranking went from last place in the city to eighth place."
From third from the bottom in the province, it rose to twenty-eighth in the province.
Besides economic development, we have also made great progress in other areas.
On the education front, the plan to introduce a highly skilled teaching staff, which you and Director Liao spearheaded, is progressing very well. The number of teachers with bachelor's degrees in our county is more than double that of the neighboring county.
The training slots you secured with the province have greatly improved the quality of our county's Party members.
By the way, the creation of the Dongping peanut brand, a specialty of Dongping Town, is a great new idea.
By leveraging internet promotion and combining it with endorsements from local notables who have moved away, Dongping peanuts have reached new heights.
Many leaders from the province and city have tasted the peanuts from our Dongping Town, and they all said they were delicious.
Zhou Xiangzhang spoke of these things in her hometown with great familiarity, her face gradually relaxing, her hands not stopping, the hand that was touching her shoulder slid down a little.
"Oh, I'm sorry to have put you through this."
You were the one who pushed these things forward.
I don't have that kind of brain.
I've never even heard of the concepts of the Internet or spokespeople.
Logically speaking, you are more than qualified to be the county magistrate.
Your skill level is definitely above Xie Changhe's.
I'm just afraid that if I put you in that position, it will be too conspicuous.
It's inherently difficult for women to be in politics, and I don't want you to suffer too much.
This is actually to protect you; look at Xie Changhe's current situation.
He wasn't protecting Li Taoying at all; Zhou Xiangzhang knew Li Taoying's capabilities all too well.
No book is read in vain.
Li Taoying's skill level is indeed above Xie Changhe's.
Zhou Xiangzhang was afraid that once Li Taoying reached that position, she would go on a rampage and break free from his control.
That would mean doing all the work for someone else.
At that point, you won't be able to sleep, let alone eat a fart.
Li Taoying knew perfectly well that the other party was lying, but she still pretended to be very touched.
I know you mean well.
I'm content just to be by your side and help you share some of the burden.
I don't want to climb too high.
I, this little blade of grass, just want to hide under your big tree.
It is sheltered from the wind and rain.
No one is happier than me.
Zhou Xiangzhang smiled contentedly: "Oh, by the way, what's the price of the villas in this neighborhood now?"
"It seems to have gone up a bit, what's wrong?"
"That brat Zhou Dongliang, didn't he get together with Chen Dawei's wife? That woman's making a scene and wants to sell the villa. Where would that kid get the money? So this mess just fell into my hands."
"Is it Xie Liting from the TV station?"
A hint of jealousy flashed in Li Taoying's eyes.
