The boss of the apocalypse travels back to the 1970s with space
Chapter 557 Go and Investigate in Person
After finishing her meal, Xia Meng picked up the pot and went to the kitchen. Mrs. Zhou followed immediately.
"Governor Xia, let me wash it! Let me wash it!"
Xia Meng smiled and said, "It's so late, I'll help you wash."
Mrs. Zhou looked at Xia Meng and her eyes moved, and she responded, "Hey!"
After cleaning up the kitchen quickly, Xia Meng wiped her hands and said to Mrs. Zhou,
"good night!"
Mrs. Zhou quickly said, "Good night!"
Xia Meng went upstairs to rest.
Mrs. Zhou also quickly returned to her bedroom.
Xia Meng lay on the bed and quickly closed her eyes, as if she had fallen asleep.
However, Xia Meng's mind was very clear, because she could clearly feel that the hidden cameras hidden in every corner of the house were constantly monitoring her.
The next day, Xia Meng got up at seven o'clock.
After getting up, Xia Meng put on her sportswear and prepared to go out for a run.
When going downstairs, Xia Meng saw that Mrs. Zhou had also gotten up.
Seeing Xia Meng, Mrs. Zhou greeted her with a smile.
"Governor Xia, you got up really early!"
Xia Meng smiled and said, "Good morning!"
While tying her apron on, Mrs. Zhou asked Xia Meng,
"Governor Xia, what would you like for breakfast?"
Xia Meng said, "I believe in your craftsmanship, just do it as you see fit."
Mrs. Zhou, “Hey!”
Mrs. Zhou turned and went into the kitchen to make breakfast, while Xia Meng started jogging in the community.
The community is quite large, with excellent greenery. It is not too hot in the morning, and the cool breeze makes Xia Meng feel a little comfortable.
Xia Meng had just arrived and was considered a stranger in the community. Some people, especially those who looked to be in their 50s or 60s, would look at her with curiosity when they saw Xia Meng.
These people gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and exercising.
However, when Xia Meng ran around a corner, she saw an old man practicing Tai Chi alone in the corner.
The old man had gray hair and looked to be in his sixties. He was wearing a white training suit and was practicing Tai Chi with great concentration.
The old man was very good at Tai Chi, and Xia Meng was eager to try it.
So, Xia Meng stopped, followed the old man, and learned Tai Chi from him.
Xia Meng has a good foundation, so it is not difficult for her to practice Tai Chi.
The old man obviously noticed Xia Meng, but he didn't try to drive her away. Instead, he continued to do his own thing.
After finishing Tai Chi, the old man looked Xia Meng up and down and said with a smile,
"You are a young girl, but you are good at Tai Chi."
Xia Meng smiled and said, "Thanks for the compliment."
The old man picked up the water cup beside him, raised his head and drank it. After a while, he sat on the stone bench and asked Xia Meng,
"Girl, why haven't I seen you before?"
Xia Meng sat opposite the old man, "I'm new here."
The old man nodded and said, "You are here to visit relatives, right?"
Xia Meng knew that the old man saw that she was young, so he thought she was here to visit a relative.
But Xia Meng told the truth, "No, I'm here to be the governor."
"To be the governor?" The old man's eyes widened, looking at Xia Meng in surprise, and he took a deep breath.
"I've heard before that the new governor is very young," the old man said with emotion.
"I didn't expect you to be so young."
After the old man finished speaking, a look of worry appeared on his face.
This made Xia Meng very curious, "Grandpa, are you... afraid that I won't be able to do it well?"
Hearing this, the old man looked up at Xia Meng carefully, and then actually nodded.
"Well, I am indeed worried that you won't be able to do a good job. The situation in this state is... too complicated, and you... are too young."
Just from this one sentence, Xia Meng judged that this old man was probably a very straightforward person.
If he were a person with a more tactful personality, even if he felt that Xia Meng was too young to handle such a big responsibility, he would not say it directly.
Because if Xia Meng has a good personality, she won't take these words to heart, but if Xia Meng has a narrow mind, she will inevitably take the old man's words to heart and think that the old man looks down on her. Isn't this offending her?
This is so unwise!
But the old man was not afraid, he looked at Xia Meng and said,
"But since the higher-ups sent you here, they must recognize your abilities, so just do your best."
Xia Meng nodded, "Grandpa, who are you?"
The old man smiled and said, "I am just a retired old man, you don't have to take it to heart."
Although the old man's tone was a bit understated, Xia Meng didn't take it seriously. This old man's identity before he retired must have been extraordinary!
"Okay," the old man stood up, "You can exercise here by yourself. I'll go home for dinner first."
Xia Meng also stood up, "Okay! Take care."
The old man carried his water cup, glanced at Xia Meng before leaving, and then said meaningfully,
"Young people should not rush into things. It is important to exercise your body."
Xia Meng smiled and nodded slightly.
Xia Meng ran a few more laps before returning to her villa.
When Mrs. Zhou saw Xia Meng coming back, she hurriedly said,
"Governor Xia, please wait a moment, the meal will be ready soon."
Xia Meng, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."
Xia Meng ran several laps and sweated a little, so she went upstairs and planned to take a shower first.
Xia Meng returned to her bedroom, took her clothes and went into the bathroom.
Fortunately, they did not install cameras in the bathroom, otherwise, Xia Meng would have been angry.
In less than ten minutes, Xia Meng took a shower and changed into clothes for going out.
When Xia Meng is working, she mostly chooses to wear professional suits. Of course, after everyone becomes familiar with her, Xia Meng prefers to wear casual suits.
As for skirts and the like, some girls are willing to wear them, but Xia Meng dislikes the hassle and prefers to wear pants. With the spiritual spring water, Xia Meng never puts on makeup. For Xia Meng, it is a waste of time.
As for high heels, Xia Meng wears them even less often. High heels are indeed beautiful, but it is too tiring to wear them while working!
Work is tiring enough, and wearing high heels is like putting a shackle on yourself. Moreover, if you wear them for a long time, not only will your feet rub, but your feet will gradually become deformed. Xia Meng has always only worn leather shoes without heels. She prefers to wear casual shoes and running shoes.
Xia Meng came downstairs wearing a black business suit. Mrs. Zhou had already put the prepared food on the table.
Xia Meng sat at the dining table and waited for Mrs. Zhou to bring the food to the table before inviting her to come.
"Chou, let's eat together!"
"This...this is not appropriate," Mrs. Zhou smiled at Xia Meng, with a hint of embarrassment and timidity, a hint of panic and uneasiness, and more of a sense of unworthiness in her smile.
I feel like I'm just a nanny. Why should I eat at the same table with a big shot like the governor?
Mrs. Zhou, "You are the governor, and I am just a nanny. Asking me to eat at the table with you, to be honest, this...oversteps the mark."
After hearing this, Xia Meng understood what Mrs. Zhou meant, but precisely because she understood it, she disagreed even more.
Xia Meng looked at Mrs. Zhou with gentle eyes and said earnestly,
"Mrs. Zhou, you're talking as if I were some great noble from the old times!"
"In ancient society, the rich and powerful upper class did not regard the lower class as human beings. They beat and scolded them at will. Forcing the lower class to eat at the same table with them was considered humiliating and damaging to their status."
"But we are in a modern society now, where equality is the norm. Don't ever think that you are inferior to others. That's not good!"
"Workers and peasants are the masters of this country! Not aristocrats or capitalists!"
"This country was created by working people. Don't underestimate yourself."
After hearing what Xia Meng said, Mrs. Zhou smiled at her, with a somewhat bitter smile.
"Governor, there aren't many people who think like you these days!"
"No matter what others think, at least this is what I think," Xia Meng asked Mrs. Zhou to sit at the dining table.
Mrs. Zhou cooked millet and pumpkin porridge in the morning. In addition to the porridge, she also fried dough sticks, made steamed dumplings, fried leek boxes, and salted duck eggs. All these things filled half the table.
"With so much food," Xia Meng picked up a steamed dumpling, "it would be a waste if we can't finish it."
After finding out last night that Xia Meng had a big appetite, Mrs. Zhou cooked more food this morning, fearing that Xia Meng would not be full.
Mrs. Zhou also picked up a steamed dumpling and started eating it with some restraint.
After dinner, Xia Meng went to the bathroom to brush her teeth, then said hello to Mrs. Zhou and took a car to the office building.
When she arrived at the office building, Xia Meng saw that the doorman had been replaced by a man in his thirties. He had a strong build, sharp eyes, and a brisk manner in his movements.
Xia Meng saw it, nodded to the man, walked up to him, and asked with a smile,
"newcomer?"
The man nodded seriously, "Yes!"
Xia Meng nodded, "Have you ever been a soldier?"
The man nodded and puffed out his chest proudly.
"I served in the army for eight years!"
"Very good," Xia Meng asked again, "What's your name?"
Man, "Peng Jiang!"
Xia Meng was very satisfied, "Who introduced you?"
Peng Jiang said a little embarrassedly, "I applied for discharge from the army, and my boss said there was a security job available, and asked if I wanted to take it. He said it was a rare opportunity, so I quickly agreed."
It seems there is no background behind it.
Xia Meng directly revealed her identity, "I'm the new governor!"
When Peng Jiang heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he didn't expect the governor to be so young. After being surprised, he immediately raised his hand and saluted Xia Meng.
Xia Meng smiled and said,
"Nowadays, social order is not as good as before. One security guard may not be enough. You should have a lot of comrades, right?"
Peng Jiang seemed to have thought of something, and his expression was a little excited. "A lot. Some of my comrades also want to become professionals, but there are no suitable jobs..."
Xia Meng nodded in understanding, "Then find five more people to make up six, and you will be the captain! I will pass on this matter."
Peng Jiang couldn't help but look at Xia Meng with gratitude, "Yes!"
Before leaving, Xia Meng even gave her cell phone number to Peng Jiang and asked Peng Jiang to call her if he had any questions.
Xia Meng doesn't have her own team in Tangzhou, so she has to build up her own power bit by bit from now on.
There is no way. The situation in Tangzhou is too complicated. Xia Meng cannot carry out his work unless he eliminates some bad apples.
Xia Meng's actions were seen by some people, but she didn't care. She was the governor, and those people who wanted to deal with her could only do it secretly and did not dare to target her openly.
Xia Meng arrived at the floor where her office was located. As soon as the elevator opened, Xia Meng saw Yang Heng.
Yang Heng naturally saw Xia Meng as well.
When Yang Heng saw Xia Meng, he immediately came up to greet her.
"Good morning, Governor!"
Xia Meng nodded slightly at him, then walked into the office. Yang Heng followed behind her and took out a document.
