Chapter 1369: I will stay at your Mayor Dong’s place tonight

Even many people near the office building\'s windows were stunned by the beauty of the pregnant woman who had just exited the car. She was not just ordinarily beautiful.

"Who is this?"

"I don\'t know."

"Mayor Jiang is probably not as good-looking as her."

"Is she a leader? How can there be such a beautiful leader?"

Whispers and murmurs spread among the people upstairs, expressing their astonishment.

The desire for beauty is universal, and now, the woman has become the focus of everyone\'s attention.

But what surprised them even more was the introduction that followed. A middle-aged man looked at Meng Rui, Zhang Wanshui, and others, then gestured to the pregnant woman and said, "This is Mayor Xie, in charge of education, culture, and health in Fenzhou City."

What?

Mayor Xie?

This was the Deputy Mayor leading the delegation!

After seeing the pregnant woman, Meng Rui knew she was exceptionally beautiful. Still, he did not waver due to her beauty. He had a certain level of cultivation. However, when he heard that this woman, who looked to be in her early thirties, was the Deputy Mayor, Secretary Meng was momentarily shocked. She was a Deputy Bureau Director level official at the age of thirty-one or thirty-two, and she had even become a full member of the Party Committee. He was almost fifty years old and only held the position of a Division Chief. The difference was too significant.

Many people were left speechless.

A Deputy Bureau Director official in her early thirties. It was too exaggerated.

Only their Countys youngest Deputy Division Chief, Dong Xuebing. Who was in his mid-twenties could match her promotion speed.

A piece of news recently gained traction on the internet, discussing the appointment of a woman around thirty as a Deputy City Mayor. There were constant doubts and disbelief, considering her young age. Eventually, her resume was dug out. However, compared to the pregnant woman who had just come down from the car, that woman, Mayor, was nothing. Fen Zhou City was a proper prefecture-level city. In contrast, the city where the Deputy Mayor was from was just a county-level city. The Deputy Mayor of the county-level city was only a Deputy Division Chief level and was not a Party Committee member.

A county-level city. A prefecture-level city. A Deputy Division Chief Deputy Mayor, and a Deputy Bureau Chief Deputy Mayor. One was in the sky, and the other was on the ground. There was simply no way to compare. The difference was too significant.

Back then, even the woman Mayor had caused such a big shock. It could be imagined how everyone in the County Party Committee\'s courtyard felt now.

How did she get promoted so quickly? How could it be so fast?

What kind of background did she have?

Everyone looked at the pregnant woman in a bit of a daze.

As the car door closed, Xie Huilan walked over, smiling and extending her hand in front of Meng Rui. "Are you Secretary Meng of the Zhen Shui County Party Committee?"

Meng Rui had adjusted his mindset, smiling and shaking hands with her. "Yes, it\'s me. Welcome, Mayor Xie, to Zhen Shui County for research and inspection."

Xie Hulan gently waved her hand. "Your County\'s achievements in education in recent years are obvious to all. We are not here for inspection but for learning."

Meng Rui smiled. "Let\'s learn from each other."

Xie Hulan said, "Our visit may have troubled you."

"Not at all. We also want to make progress through mutual exchange. We originally wanted to pick you up, but we only received the news at the last minute, and there was no time to prepare." Meng Rui said.

Click click the reporters captured this scene.

Afterward, Xie Hulan introduced the leaders from Fenzhou City, "This is our city\'s Education Bureau Director, Liao Yimin."

Meng Rui also introduced the leaders from Zhen Shui County, "This is Secretary Zhang from the County Party Committee, as well as County Mayor Ci and County Mayor Lui from the County Government."

Everyone shook hands and got to know each other.

After the introductions were done, Meng Rui instructed his secretary.

Zhang Feng immediately walked toward the direction of the TV station and the newspaper reporters, asking them to withdraw. There would be a visit to express condolences later, and they needed to go there to prepare.

Many people dispersed.

Zhang Feng said, "Secretary Meng, for the upcoming visit"

Meng Rui nodded and said to Xie Hulan, "Mayor Xie, I have something to attend to. I apologize for leaving early. Mayor Lui will accompany you."

Xie Hulan said, "You go ahead with your work. Don\'t let us delay you."

Meng Rui replied, "There were some matters in the past few days. The condolence visit that was scheduled in advance couldn\'t be postponed. Otherwise, we would have come to welcome you."

Xie Hulan smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. It makes us feel embarrassed."

As the time approached, the Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary, Chu Peng, and the Party Committee\'s Office Director, Jiang Hai, came out.

Jiang Hai approached and said, "Secretary Meng, it\'s time to depart."

"Are all the people here, and is everything prepared?" Meng Rui asked.

Jiang Hai replied, "Everyone is ready, but it seems Mayor Dong hasn\'t arrived yet."

Yao Cui hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I called Mayor Dong. He should be on his way. Perhaps he got delayed in traffic."

Everyone had arrived except for Dong Xuebing. This was a bit awkward.

But in front of everyone, Secretary Meng still maintained his composure. "Let\'s wait for Mayor Dong. He hasn\'t fully recovered, and his movements are inconvenient."

Zhang Wanshui frowned and said to Yao Cui, "Call him again."

Yao Cui took out her phone and called Dong Xuebing again but couldn\'t get through.

Seeing that the comrades from Fenzhou City had no intention of leaving, Lui Zhi said to them, "Why don\'t we go have dinner first? Everything is arranged."

Liao Yimin said, "We just had a meal after getting off the plane, so there\'s no need to trouble you."

Lui Zhi said, "Are your luggage still in the car? How about we go to the guesthouse first to put things down? It\'s not early today. What do you think about conducting the research tomorrow?"

Liao Yimin looked at Xie Huilan.

Xie Huilan nodded slightly, "Tomorrow is fine."

Lui Zhi said, "Our County has relatively poor conditions. The environment at the guesthouse is also I\'m afraid it might not be up to standard." He worried others might think their hospitality was terrible and wanted to inform them beforehand.

"It\'s okay. It doesn\'t matter where we stay. By the way, there\'s no need to trouble about my accommodation." Xie Huilan said.

Lui Zhi blinked his eyes, wondering if she found their accommodation conditions poor and wanted to stay in a hotel.

Xie Huilan smiled and glanced at him, "Tonight, I\'ll stay at your Mayor Dong\'s place."

Lui Zhi didn\'t react. "Mayor Dong? Which Mayor Dong?"

Meng Rui and Zhang Wanshui also heard it and were both stunned.

Many cadres and staff present didn\'t understand either.

Mayor Dong?

Why would you stay at Mayor Dongs place?

This was a completely nonsensical statement.

It seems that Mayor Dong was transferred from Fen Zhou City. Even if you know him, it\'s not appropriate to stay together.

Oh my!

You\'re a female Deputy Mayor, and you can\'t stay at Mayor Dong\'s place even if you have a good relationship with him.

Everyone was bewildered and couldn\'t understand why this young female deputy mayor had made such a statement.
