incial government has preliminarily decided to let the relevant vice governor give a speech. 。Bear Secretary also agreed. 。Unexpectedly, the list submitted to Huaxing was rejected. The speaker's name...Winter retreats from the northern border as spring arrives, silver trees are joined by verdant branches. 。< Distant bird song, sleepless night > 。

In Beijing, the Xiao family > 。The surrounding sea rippled with the spring breeze, a subtle movement in the air. This was the perfect night for sleep, yet Old Steward Wang simply couldn't doze off!

He was still poring over the Xiao family genealogy, making sure there were no omissions What about the clamor of the Five Claws Tripod – which branch of the Xiao family had triggered it Over these past few days, he’d used every connection within the family, inside and out, front and back, but came up empty-handed!

This was strange indeed! Could it be that the Five Claws Tripod had truly lost its power He couldn't think like that. As sacrificial officer Yao Wenchang said, others could claim the Five Claws Tripod was ineffective, but he and Yao Wenchang couldn't! It was a tradition within the Xiao family, not to be disclosed publicly, but strictly adhered to internally... 。If you're going to admit that the "Five Claw Tripod" works, then you have to find a reason, and a real one. You can't just appease the villagers, nor can you fool the old master. 。This is the most painful part! The steward, Weng Benchu, was alone in his room with a single light, burning the midnight oil due to worry, and this is exactly what troubled him. 。Weng Benchu couldn't help sighing, wondering when he would be able to find the truth. 。But as his sigh died away, his phone rang suddenly. 。Household chores are commonplace, but at this hour of three in the morning, no one ever bothers me. 。 。"At the first mention of her name, Weng Ben felt a jolt. Before he could think further, he picked up the phone and blurted out, "Young Master..." 。“Xiao Zheng felt very uncomfortable with this title. He said, "Elder Butler Ong, I'm not some young master" 。You can call me Xiao Zheng since you're older. 。"Weng Benchu dared not, and hurriedly said: “Young Master, you are too polite! Although I am a few years older, I am definitely not an elder. You don't call me 'servant', I am already very grateful." 。As a member of the Xiao family's bloodline, you are naturally the young master. 。"Xiao Zheng said, "Let me be clear with you, I'm a Party cadre. The term 'young master' has nothing to do with me! You can either call me Xiao Zheng or 'Secretary Xiao.' I'm the county party secretary now, so calling me 'Secretary Xiao' is perfectly fine." 。“Then I shall call you ‘Secretary Xiao,’ ” Wong Bon-chu said, following Xiao Zheng’s lead. 。"Getting to the point, Secretary Xiao calling me this late must be about something, right" Xiao Zheng was silent for a moment before saying, "Do you remember giving me a business card and saying you would help me with anything"

It turned out to be this matter. Weng Benchu naturally remembered; the reason he had given Xiao Zheng the card back then was to maintain contact with the young master. 。In one's lifetime, who can guarantee that they won't need help Human relationships are subtly transformed through the act of helping each other. Sure enough, now Xiao Zheng has come to me. 。Of course I remember. 。Xiao Zheng felt a sense of relief. If Weng Benchu broke his promise, he would have to find another way. Whether he could reach Jingzhou by morning was truly uncertain. Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Zheng demanded: “Since it's past midnight, I need to return to Jiangzhong in the early hours.” 。"Can it be done" Weng Benchu replied simply, "Yes." 。"Xiao Zheng suddenly thought, Weng Benchu might not know he was in Ninggan, so he answered so readily. He explained: "I'm in Baoyuan County, Ninggan Province now. You probably don't know…"

However, before Xiao Zheng could finish his words, Weng Benchu said: "I know" 。This is taken care of. 。"Xiao Zheng said, “Then thank you. " 。“Xiao Shao... no, Secretary Xiao,” Weng Benchu asked again, “I wonder if there's anything urgent that made you rush back”Xiao Zheng naturally didn't want to tell him and said, “Didn't you say you would help me unconditionally”Weng Benchu was stunned for a moment and said, “Oh, right, right…” 。As the celestial bodies shifted, a plane took off from Baoyuan County, soaring over countless cities. By the time the eastern horizon revealed the first hints of dawn, it had landed in the designated area of Hangcheng International Airport. 。Xiao Zheng's former driver Xiao Zhong is now Guan Wenwei's driver. 。Xiao Zheng, due to his long-term absence on duty outside the county, in order to avoid waste of public resources, has also temporarily cancelled the driver and vehicles in An County. 。So early in the morning, Xiao Zheng wouldn't make it inconvenient for Xiao Zhong to pick him up. However, all this was irrelevant, because Butler Wang Benchu had already taken care of everything. 。The sky in Jingzhou City had already brightened completely, and Li Haiyan came to knock on the door. 。As usual, Xiao Jingyu would get up a little past seven o'clock, wash and have breakfast before going to work. 。By now, it was half past seven. Li Haiyan, who lived next door, saw that Secretary Xiao's room was still quiet, so she came to knock on the door. 。Perhaps yesterday's pregnancy symptoms had troubled Xiao Jingyu all day, and she was still uncomfortable late at night. She tossed and turned until the early morning before finally falling asleep, but she fell into a deep sleep right away. 。Xiao Jingyu woke up from the knock on the door and said, "Haiyan, come in." 。Li Haiyan had a key card and was still worried about Secretary Xiao, but hearing that Xiao Jingyu's voice was normal, she felt relieved to come in and help Xiao Jingyu boil water. 。Perhaps because of her deep sleep, Xiao Jingyu felt much better. Looking in the mirror, she looked much healthier. 。But when he brushed his teeth, that disgusting feeling suddenly surged up uncontrollably, and Xiao Jingyu started vomiting incessantly into the washbasin. 。Even after Xiao Jingyu came out, Li Haiyan still worriedly suggested, "Secretary Xiao, why don't you skip work today What about going to work" Xiao Jingyu replied, "How can that be I have to get my work done..." Once Sima Yue started acting, with him being the Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister, his family's influence backing him up, and probably even Xiao's family getting involved, she probably wouldn't have much time left in Jingzhou. 。。Li Haiyan looked over and reported: "Xiao Secretary, there is no name, but the area code is Hangzhou's" 。"Xiao Jingyu was startled and took the phone: 'Hello, who is this' The voice on the other end was a calm middle-aged man's voice: 'Comrade Xiao, hello, I am Luo Qinghong, deputy secretary of the provincial Discipline Inspection Commission.'" 。According to Comrade Cheng Huajian, Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, please come to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection early today. There is something important I want to discuss with you. 。Before you come, please tidy up a bit. Don't go back to Jingzhou for now. 。"

Although Xiao Jingyu had already mentally prepared herself, she still felt a pang of disappointment in her heart. She really didn't expect Sima Yue to act so quickly! Since Luo Qinghong specifically mentioned that she "shouldn't return to Jingzhou for the time being," it meant that the organization might take disciplinary action against her for her "pregnancy before marriage"; even if there was no punishment, they should adjust her work and wouldn't let her continue working in Jingzhou." 。Xiao Jingyu's heart ached. Firstly, the moment she left, the "Chip Industrial Park" project, which was essentially a sham, would almost certainly be established in Jingzhou. Secondly, her sudden departure meant she couldn't even arrange for Li Haiyan's affairs, and the latter's growth path might be interrupted. Thirdly, there was the child growing inside her. What would happen to it in the future She truly couldn't say! Although she could make the decision to sever ties with her family, what about Sima Yue and the Xiao family Would they let her go Her turbulent thoughts only intensified her pregnancy symptoms. 。She recalled the school nurse's advice to her, urging her not to rush or get upset during this period. She was told to take some vitamin B6 if she felt unwell. 。Xiao Jingyu tried hard not to overthink things, no matter what, he had to keep himself steady. He could talk about other things later. 。Upon receiving the phone call about her impending disciplinary action, Xiao Jingyu realized that the Sima family and the Xiao family might be behind it. However, this only strengthened her resolve—she was determined to give birth to her child with Xiao Zheng! The child represented new life and new hope!Xiao Jingyu said to Li Haiyan: “Haiyan, get me vitamin 6.” 。She swallowed a vitamin and took a sip of the warm water Li Haiyan had mixed from tap water and mineral water, then said, "Haiyan, I have to go to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection." 。You don't have to come with me today. 。Li Haiyan was startled, but then she said firmly, "I want to go with Secretary Xiao." 。Xiao Jingyu glanced at her and said, "The leaders of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection said that when I go there this time, I may not come back to Jingzhou." 。Li Haiyan, however, insisted: “Secretary Xiao, you don’t have to think too much about it.” 。If I'm your secretary for a day, then I have to be by your side. 。"Xiao Jingyu looked at Li Haiyan. After a long while, she reached out and took Li Haiyan's hand: "You are not my secretary, you are my sister." 。"Li Haiyan also smiled at Xiao Jingyu, "Sister," 。Both of their eyes turned red. Xiao Jingyu said, "I don't care about my things anymore, let's go." 。Li Haiyan nodded. 。

The two walked out of Xiao Jingyu's room together, took the elevator, and headed toward the entrance of Phoenix Hotel. 。Every step Xiao Jingyu took, a thought would arise in his heart: perhaps he would never live here again. A tinge of sadness and reluctance welled up within him. 。In this emotional state, Xiao Jingyu came to the outside of the hotel and inadvertently walked toward her car. However, she suddenly felt something was amiss. 。Because it doesn't look like their car. 。Xiao Jingyu couldn't help but stop in his tracks. 。At this moment, Li Haiyan beside him suddenly stopped and instinctively pulled Xiao Jingyu's hand: "Secretary Xiao, Secretary Xiao!" Then, Li Haiyan immediately realized that she had called two "Secretary Xiaos" a bit confusingly, and then changed her words: "Secretary Xiao, it's my master, it's my master, Xiao Zheng, he's here!"

Xiao Jingyu stood still in the hall, his eyes undoubtedly saw that person. Standing in front of a black Mercedes-Benz, who else could it be besides Xiao Zheng Xiao Jingyu was still wondering if he was dreaming and turned to Li Haiyan: "Is it your master Xiao Zheng" Li Haiyan squeezed Xiao Jingyu's hand hard: "It's true, Secretary Xiao, we are not dreaming>>> 。At this time, Xiao Zheng smiled at Xiao Jingyu: “I'm here.” 。"

That familiar voice, just as it used to be; that serene smile, yet more resolute and confident." 。Xiao Jingyu could no longer hold back. Two lines of hot tears streamed down her cheeks involuntarily, but she didn't wipe them away. She just walked forward: "You're here, that's all that matters." 。"Xiao Zheng opened the car door: "Today, ride in this car" 。"We're going to Hangzhou," 。"Xiao Jingyu asked again, "What are you going to Hangzhou for"

Xiao Zheng: "To get married!"everything into consideration." 。Chen Qingshan knew that saying more was pointless, so he said, “Thank you, I won’t bother Secretary Jiang anymore.” 。Chen Qingshan was about to get up and leave when J...
