Chapter Twenty-Three
As time was getting closer and closer, Wu Hao ran back to the municipal party committee building. When he ran to the door of Secretary Xu's office, it was exactly ten o'clock in the morning. At this time, he was sweating profusely because he ran back all the way back, and panting. Wu Hao looked at his watch and took a few deep breaths of air. When his breathing stabilized as much as possible, he reached out and knocked on the door gently. After hearing Secretary Xu's call, he pushed the door in and saw that Secretary Xu was lowering his head and writing the materials, he respectfully reported: "Secretary Xu! It's already ten o'clock. Should we set off now?"
Upon hearing this, Secretary Xu put down the pen in his hand, looked up and saw Wu Hao sweating heavily, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Wu! The weather today is not yet summer, why are you sweating all over?"
When Wu Hao heard this, he smiled awkwardly and replied respectfully: "Because I was worried, I went to the guesthouse to check it out myself. As a result, I almost missed the time and ran all the way back."
Secretary Xu smiled slightly and said with a humorous and rigorous attitude: "Xiao Wu! You are my secretary, as long as you explain things clearly, you can feel uneasy. If you experience and do everything yourself, will your work be done? How about it! All things are arranged?"
When Wu Hao heard Secretary Xu's words, he smiled and replied very rigorously: "Secretary Xu! You are right in criticism. I was worried that the reception office would not do good things and would smear you on your face, so I went there in person. After I couldn't go there, I realized that my concerns were redundant. After receiving your instructions, the reception office immediately implemented it and had prepared everything. Now everything is ready, so I'm waiting for Deputy Secretary Xia to arrive."
A hint of praise flashed in Secretary Xu's eyes. He admired Wu Hao's actions very much. Wu Hao could understand the importance of this guest from his own words, which at least means that Wu Hao had begun to find a full-time secretary to get started. He put half of the materials written into the drawer, then stood up from his desk, and said with a smile: "Okay! Then let's go to the intersection of the expressway now!" As he said that, he walked out of the office.
The spring time of the year is the most beautiful. It is full of vitality and hope, which can easily create colorful dreams, and it can make people feel energetic and full of energy.
At the intersection of Anfu Expressway, several cars with license plates in front of Minning City were parked neatly on the side of the road. Secretary Xu and Mayor Feng stood on the side of the road and whispered something, while Mayor Feng's secretary stood with several officials of the municipal government. Because when Wu Hao and the others came, no one from Secretary Xu informed other officials of the municipal party committee, Wu Hao became a lonely man at this time, standing alone not far from Secretary Xu, staring at the expressway ahead, waiting for the car to appear.
Time passed by minute by minute in boredom. At this time, Wu Hao saw a minibus flashing with police lights coming from a distance towards the highway intersection. Seeing this situation, Wu Hao immediately walked to Secretary Xu, who was discussing something with Mayor Feng, and reported respectfully: "Secretary Xu! Deputy Secretary Xia of the Provincial Party Committee has arrived."
When Secretary Xu heard Wu Hao's report, he looked at the minibus that was slowly passing through the toll station. He quickly sorted out his appearance and said to Mayor Feng with a smile: "Old Feng! Deputy Secretary Xia is here, let's go over!"
Wu Hao followed Secretary Xu and Mayor Feng and other groups of municipal government officials and walked quickly to the minibus. At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the bus. He looked about forty years old, with a kind smile on his face and a pair of eyes with dark eyelashes. Although it was not big, he was sharp and showed a kind of alertness and wisdom. This was a typical leader's face. A face that always made some people respect him anywhere, while others felt depressed or guilty.
Wu Hao stood aside, watched Secretary Xu and Mayor Feng shake hands with Deputy Secretary Xia and greet him, and then watched the leaders who came to greet him, including Mayor Feng's secretary, shook hands with Deputy Secretary Xia and greet him, and then stepped forward and reported to Secretary Xu respectfully: "Secretary Xu! Do you think we should go back to the municipal party committee first? Or go directly to the guesthouse?"
Secretary Xu was very satisfied with Wu Hao's performance of not rushing to shake hands with Deputy Secretary Xia like others just now. In his eyes, a secretary must remember his identity at any time, put it in his position, and faithfully fulfill his responsibilities. This is the most important thing. At this time, Wu Hao undoubtedly had done this and understood his position and responsibility. He looked at Wu Hao with approval, and asked Deputy Secretary Xia who was standing by the car door with a smile: "Secretary Xia! Do you think we should go to the municipal party committee first? Or settle down at the guesthouse first."
In addition to Secretary Xu, when Deputy Secretary Xia shook hands with the cadres of Minning City, he also noticed Wu Hao standing beside him. He didn't know who Wu Hao was before, but now after hearing Secretary Xu's words, he understood Wu Hao's identity and praised Wu Hao's performance. At this time, he did not answer Secretary Xu's words, but looked at Wu Hao with a smile and asked cordially: "Little comrade! I remember that you raised this question first. Since that's the case, do you think we should go to the Minning City Party Committee first? Or settle down at the guesthouse first?"
Deputy Secretary Xia's words made Wu Hao feel flattered. He didn't expect Secretary Xia to ask him this question. He quickly stabilized his emotions, looked at Deputy Secretary Xia calmly, and said respectfully: "Secretary Xia! You can take time out of your busy schedule to come to our Min Ning City, which shows your importance to our Min Ning City. However, people are iron, rice is steel, and the body is the capital of the revolution. It just so time is approaching lunch time, so I personally think that you and the leaders of the province should settle in our guesthouse first, have a simple meal, and then take a break to eliminate the fatigue caused by taking a bus. When you have enough energy and then devote yourself to your work, will you complete the work better?"
Everyone present, including Secretary Xu, would never have thought that Deputy Secretary Xia would ask Wu Hao this question. When Secretary Xu heard Wu Hao's answer, he showed a knowing smile on his face, while other cadres present once again used their rich imagination to imagine Wu Hao's background.
"Haha!" Deputy Secretary Xia laughed boldly when he heard Wu Hao's words, and said to Secretary Xu kindly: "Xiao Xu! Your secretary has been chosen well! The body is the capital of revolution. If I don't settle in the guesthouse first, I will not pay attention to the revolution. Since this is the case, then we guests will of course follow the host. Let's go to the guesthouse first."
