After my rebirth, I became the son-in-law of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary

In Mayor Zhou's mind, Lao Deng was a really good person. He did not have any major problems with principles. He worked as the director of the Finance Bureau for more than four years. When the city was short of money, he made careful budgeting and patched up the expenses. When the city had money, he worked hard to coordinate revenue and expenditure.

Those who have made contributions should be rewarded. It is reasonable and moral to give people some encouragement.

But the question is who will take over the vacant position of Finance Director.

Zhou Yi asked Deng Xianrui to come over today, mainly to seek his opinion on the candidate for the Director of the Finance Bureau.

"Old Deng, who do you think is more suitable to take your place?"

Listening to the mayor's inquiry, Deng Xianrui's first reaction was, I don't want to know what I think, I want to know what the mayor thinks!

He thought about it carefully, and faced the mayor's expectant gaze, and replied cautiously: "In terms of professional ability, Executive Deputy Director Ye Zhao is definitely second to none..."

The mayor asked for his opinion, which meant that the mayor's current plan was to nominate a successor from within the Finance Bureau. In that case, he had no reason not to recommend Ye Zhao first.

Mayor Zhou's expression did not change at all, he just said "oh" softly.

Is business ability important? Of course it is.

But what is more important than professional ability is work style, ideological awareness, vision, and whether you have offended me...

Ye Zhao did not offend Mayor Zhou, but the Liang Xingjian incident left Mayor Zhou with a very bad impression of Ye Zhao. In addition, he had learned about Ye Zhao's reputation before, and he had already labeled him as "not to be considered" in his mind.

"Deputy Director Wang Zeyuan has outstanding work ability and is mature and steady..." Deng Xianrui observed the mayor's words and expressions and accurately judged his true attitude towards Ye Zhao, so he immediately changed his mind and recommended another deputy director.

Mayor Zhou remained noncommittal, not even saying "oh".

Because 'Wang Zeyuan' is just as his name suggests, he is a big fake who got promoted by relying on connections!

"Deputy Director Jin Huiping, although a female comrade, has been engaged in finance-related work for many years and is experienced, has a good work style, is honest and incorruptible, and has good abilities!" Deng Xianrui had an idea and decided to take a different approach and recommend the last-ranked Deputy Director Jin Huiping instead.

Well, Mayor Zhou finally nodded, cast an approving look at Deng Xianrui, and said with a smile: "I have also heard that Comrade Jin Huiping has a very good reputation. Not only is she a decent person, but she is also very capable. It seems that we are thinking the same thing!"

Deng Xianrui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, it was really hard for him to agree with the mayor!

And now he understands that the mayor needs a finance director who has ability, but whether he can be upright is more important.

……

There is no wall that is impenetrable. Especially after the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee passed the resolution to recommend Deng Xianrui as deputy mayor, people around him, including friends and colleagues, congratulated Deng Xianrui.

Deng Xianrui said very modestly that this was all thanks to the favor of the city leaders and that everything was carried out in accordance with normal procedures. He urged everyone not to discuss it excessively to avoid criticism.

At the same time, rumors about the successor to the Finance Minister were vaguely heard.

Some said it was Ye Zhao's, some said it was Wang Zeyuan's, some said it was Jiao Guixin's, and some said it was parachuted in from outside...

Executive Deputy Director Ye Zhao couldn't sit still any longer, so he quietly found Deng Xianrui.

"Director, thank you for taking care of my matter..." Ye Zhao handed over a bulging envelope and said in a low voice with a smile.

Deng Xianrui pushed the envelope back slowly and firmly, and replied firmly: "I understand what you mean, but I don't need it. If you continue like this, it will be meaningless. The mayor has his own considerations on who will take over as director. I advise you not to worry too much, or put aside distractions and work at ease!"

When Ye Zhao heard this, his heart sank into a bottomless abyss.

Having been immersed in the officialdom for many years, how could he not hear the meaning behind Deng Xianrui's words. The other party said a lot, but in fact it was nothing more than three words - you have no chance!

"Director, do you think I still have a chance?" Ye Zhao asked with a bitter and unwilling look on his face.

He is the executive deputy director, so it should be his turn!

Deng Xianrui didn't say anything, he just stood up and patted the other person's arm gently.

To be honest, he still had some sympathy for Ye Zhao. He could have married the mayor's secretary as his son-in-law, but unfortunately the girl was not ambitious enough and wanted to have a good relationship with Pan Longqun's son. In the end, he ended up with nothing.

Not to mention Liang Xingjian, who was about to marry Pan Longqun's daughter, but Pan Longqun's son would rather marry a divorced girl than even look at Ye Zhao's daughter.

So, I said, I gave you the opportunity a long time ago, but unfortunately you didn't use it!

……

Municipal Party Committee Residential Area, Mayor Zhou’s home.

Tian Tian pressed her pretty face against Jian Shuyue's lower abdomen, while Jian Shuyue reached out and gently pressed the back of Tian Tian's head.

Time seemed to stand still as two beautiful women in cool clothes snuggled up to each other, filling the room with a warm atmosphere.

"It's only been two months, what can you tell?" Jane Yueliang patted her funny friend and said with amusement.

"I just wanted to see if your belly had gotten bigger." Reporter Tian raised his head, blinked his watery peach eyes, and argued seriously.

"It's only been two months, how could it possibly grow bigger?" Lawyer Jian pinched the other person's delicate face. Her best friend was a fairy. There's a saying that goes, she knows the big picture and when to advance and retreat, she knows how to act coquettishly and cutely, she understands the ways of the world and has charm, making people fascinated and intoxicated.

"After you became pregnant, did you feel any discomfort in your body?" Tian Tian asked with concern.

"I can eat and sleep well, and I don't feel tired from work. I haven't suffered any pain for the time being!" Jian Shuyue took an apple, cut it in half, gave half to her best friend, took a bite, and replied happily.

"I heard that you can't do that in the first three months. Does it make you uncomfortable?" Tian Tian was serious for only three seconds, then asked with a wicked smile.

Jian Shuyue immediately replied, "I'm fine, the problem is that the guy at home is difficult to bear. He can't sleep unless he makes trouble for me every night!"

Tian Tian was stunned and asked in a lost voice: "Are you crazy? You only care about your own happiness and don't want a baby?"

Jian Shuyue leaned close to the other person's ear and said mysteriously, "Have you ever heard of this poem - Autumn bushes surround the house like Tao Yuanming's, and the sun is setting around the fence."

Tian Tian rolled her eyes at the other person and thought, who is he looking down on?

Aren’t these the first two lines of the poem “Chrysanthemum” by the Tang Dynasty poet Yuan Zhen?

She could recite the last two lines by heart: It’s not that I prefer chrysanthemums among all flowers, it’s that when this flower blooms, there are no other flowers left…

Reporter Tian's head suddenly rang with the siren of a train. His cheeks flushed with anger and he picked up a sofa cushion and smashed it on Lawyer Jian, saying angrily, "A big slut and a big pervert, you two are really a perfect match!"
