Chapter 1022 Aftershocks Imminent

my own room." 。Xiao Zheng said: "It's okay, you rarely come back this time, stay with your uncle and aunt." 。Chen Hong said, "I'll send you down. " 。"I can find my own way, I'm not lost. Don't come d...This visit to the Sichuan aid cadres, Sima Yue came for two reasons. One was work-related needs, and the other, unknown to others, was a matter within the Sima family. 。The Sima family's business has expanded from territory outward. On one hand, they have ventured into Huating, the heart of China. On the other hand, wherever there is a scent of wealth, their tentacles quickly extend in that direction. Besides the coastal cities of Zhong Hai, Shen Shi, and Yue Zhou, there are also many mining areas, such as Meng Qing and Shu Zhong, and even the recently discovered Yun Gui!

Sima Zhongtian suffered heavy losses on the Yun Gui Plateau, including the death of the Luo Sha master. However, Sima Zhongtian also gained something: confirmation that the mineral resources of the Yun Gui Plateau are also very rich. He has already sent people to infiltrate and control several manganese mines, which can bring a huge profit to the family. 。Recently, there has been a rumor circulating that during the major earthquake in Sichuan, a shaft was opened in an abandoned gold mine. It is speculated that there could be thousands of tons of gold reserves underneath. 。A ton of gold is probably worth two or three hundred million, so what concept is a thousand tons of gold For the Sima family, this is a big number. This gold mine can enable the Sima family to do bigger things! To this end, Sima Zhongtian attaches great importance to this matter, knowing that Sima Yue is going to be an important member of the Jiangzhong delegation to Shu, so he lets Sima Yue take care of it. 。At his father's command, Sima Yue naturally agreed. 。While Sima Zhongtian was sending someone to investigate, it wasn't dinner time yet. Sima Yue called Chen Hong: "Come to my room for a bit." 。"Chen Hong said: "Good, Minister Sima" 。"Chen Hong was here soon. Sima Yue got up from the tea cabinet and, with the help of his secretary who had prepared it in advance, personally brought over a cup of tea and placed it in front of Chen Hong: 'Please have some tea.'" 。From yesterday to today, I've been rushing around, busy with a lot of things, and it's hard to find time to chat with you. 。It's still half an hour until dinner, so I thought I'd chat with you. 。"Chen Hong lowered her eyes and looked at the teacup in front of her. She didn't drink it, but instead smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Department Head Sima!"

Sima Yue said: "You, I naturally care about you." 。"Since the last cadre adjustment in your city, you've been assigned to the General Affairs Department, right" Chen Hong said: "It's still under public announcement, but it will be soon. When I go back this time, I'll have to start working at the General Affairs Department." 。 Sima Yue said, "This is not bad either. This position mainly serves the main leaders and belongs to the deputy department level, providing a ladder for promotion to the position of organizational minister in the future. Isn't your goal the organization minister of the municipal Party committee"

Chen Hong smiled and said, "Thank you, Minister Sima, for your concern all along." 。The position of the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department, without the continued care of Secretary Sima, would definitely be hopeless. 。Well, you can't say that. 。Your work is still very excellent. 。" Sima Yue gave a compliment and said, "The municipal Party Secretary Tan Zhen is quite approving of you! That's why you were able to quickly reach your current position." 。Chen Hong then asked, "Minister Sima, when will Secretary Tan be promoted to the provincial Party Committee secretary"

Sima Yue looked at her, a knowing smile on his face, and asked, "Do you hope that Secretary Tan leaves sooner or later" Chen Hong smiled and said, "I both hope he gets promoted soon and that he stays for a while longer." 。I hope he gets promoted soon, that would be good for him personally; I hope he stays a while longer, that would be good for me personally, since he's in Jingzhou and could help me get promoted sooner. 。"Well, I might as well be honest with Minister Sima about this little personal preference of mine!"

"It's not really a matter of selfishness, ..." 。 Sima Yue said: “Everyone has their own judgment on gains and losses, right” 。When Tan Zhen comrade can take office as the secretary of the provincial Party committee, it doesn't depend on him or me. 。"Chen Hong didn't quite understand that, she asked, "Who depends on it" Sima Yue twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "It depends on the provincial Discipline Inspection Commission" 。 Sima Yue's sudden words left Chen Hong quite startled. She had always felt uncomfortable with the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and she hurriedly asked, "Minister Sima, why do you say that" Sima Yue said, "Actually, in the early stage, I suggested to Secretary Xiong that a meeting of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee be held to resolve Comrade Tan Zhen's new position. But Secretary Xiong said to wait, as the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is currently verifying some matters." 。So, we have to wait for the provincial Discipline Inspection Commission to verify everything before holding the meeting. 。Chen Hong's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be that the provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is investigating Secretary Tan"

Sima Yue looked at her and said, "That wasn't explicitly stated." 。But I'm worried, it's related to Comrade Tan Zhen. 。There's something I want to ask you. 。"Xiao Jingyu, is she still on maternity leave" Chen Hong shook her head. "No, yesterday we set off for Shu and Xiao Jingyu has already gone back to work." 。“She’s already back at work” Sima Yue was a little surprised. “Didn’t she just give birth Going back to work so soon”

In Jingzhou, Chen Hong most admired two people: one was Tan Zhen because this person could promote her; the other was Xiao Jingyu. In Chen Hong’s eyes, it was this woman who had snatched Xiao Zheng from her side! She would get Xiao Zheng back someday! So she **paid attention** to everything Xiao Jingyu did and said. 。She went back to work right after her confinement period ended. 。“Chen Hong said, “It seems she values her position more than her own child with Xiao Zheng! She’s not a qualified mother.” 。" Sima Yue said: "What mother, what mother is not a mother, that child should never have been born. " 。When it comes to Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu's children, Sima Yue’s face, rarely seen in anger, showed a hint of annoyance. 。。Chen Hong said: "Minister Sima, I think you are right." 。 Sima Yue let out a snort, seeming to have nowhere to vent his frustrations. Then he remembered something and asked, "Do you think Xiao Jingyu also knows something about Tan Zhen My only concern is that if Comrade Tan Zhen reaches the position of secretary of the Provincial Committee, will Xiao Jingyu set him on fire behind his back"

Chen Hong thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if Xiao Jingyu would do that." 。However, I have a suggestion: the new incoming Party Secretary of the city must be someone Minister Sima can control. 。"In this personnel reshuffle in Jingzhou, Secretary Tan has already put his own people in place, preparing for his departure. If the new Party secretary listens to you, there won't be any problems!" Sima Yue looked at Chen Hong and nodded. "Chen Hong, what you said is right. You are still suitable for the position of Organization Minister!"

Chen Hong smirked and said, "Whether I can become the Organization Minister depends on Secretary Sima's care after all." 。" Sima Yue nodded and said, "Of course I will care > 。On the side of Jingzhou, you still need to keep a close eye on things, especially every move Xiao Jingyu makes. 。Chen Hong said: "Minister Sima, you can rest assured about this." 。The secretary knocked on the door, and Sima Yue and Chen Hong went out to eat together. 。That evening, Ma Han Shan still went with Liu Shi Sen, Xiao Zheng and others to visit two places. 。One is Qingshu Town. This place is a rare mountainous flat area in Chuan County, which has been leveled. 。The mountains surrounding this area are quite far away. Even if an earthquake occurred and the mountain slopes collapsed, it would be impossible for them to reach here. Moreover, there are two rivers flowing around the land, so water is not a problem. 。"We almost traveled all over the Chuan County before finding this treasure. It used to be a state-owned farm, but it wasn't run well and had been abandoned ever since. But because the land belonged to the state, the common people couldn't use it." 。We took the opportunity to acquire this piece of land and build a town here, relocating villagers whose homes were destroyed in the mountains. 。"Believe me, in just a few years, this place will be a bustling market town!" Ma Han Shan said this with confidence and passion, as if he was determined to witness the birth of a new miracle! On the way back to the county from Qingxiu Town, the car stopped again in another village. 。Here, everyone saw strange buildings. They weren't ordinary houses, nor were they fortresses like those used for war, but something in between. 。Some have already tilted, and some have collapsed halfway. 。"Is this a Qiang village tower" Haoqi asked, his voice slightly excited. 。Ma Han shan smiled at Hao Qi and said, "That's right, this is a Tibetan Qiang tower. It seems that Secretary Hao has good eyesight." 。"Hao Qi smiled and said, 'When I was studying at Huaqing University, I stumbled upon a painting album by chance. It featured cultural heritage sites from all over the country, including Dunhuang murals, Fujian tulou (earth buildings), and even Qiong (Qiang) ethnic group watchtowers.'" 。“Xiao Zheng couldn't help but look at Hao Qi. She got her master's and doctoral degrees from Huazhong University of Science and Technology. It seems that not only does she have a good professional foundation, but her cultural accomplishment is also very solid. A cadre like Hao Qi has a long and lofty way to go.” 。Ma Hanshan was also quite surprised, and at the same time, happily said: "Secretary Hao, you are knowledgeable! " 。"Hao Qi said: 'That's all from books. Today, I finally get to see the real thing.'" 。Much thanks to Secretary Ma > 。However, at this moment, the female boss Mu Fengyan walked between Ma Han Shan and Hao Qi, interjecting, "Actually, I was the one who invited Secretary Ma to see these watchtowers first." 。After arriving in Chuan County, I accidentally came across this batch of watchtowers. I thought to myself, these watchtowers look very unique and ancient. They have weathered many years and earthquakes. Some are on the verge of collapse, while others are loose. If they are not repaired soon, they will be unusable, which would be a pity. 。"That's right"

"Ma Han Shan acknowledged the authenticity, "After Mu Zong brought me here, I also feel that it would be a pity if these buildings were all ruined. Please ask the county leaders and experts to take a look. Only then did we realize that this is the famous Qiang-style watchtower." 。 。The Qiang civilization is an important part of Chinese civilization. Preserving these watchtowers means preserving memory and cultural heritage. 。So, we decided to rebuild and repair over 100 watchtowers in Chuan County according to their different levels of damage. 。But our county is in dire straits right now, lacking funds the most. Mr. Mu readily agreed on the spot, stating that she could shoulder the rebuilding costs of these watchtowers in installments. 。Upon hearing this, everyone was deeply moved. They hadn't expected Ms. Mu to have done so much in Chuan County and invested so much money! Could it be true what some people were saying, that she had ulterior motives However, Xiao Zheng didn't think it was likely. Perhaps there was a story about her that others didn't know.s for the two of them.” 。The Rakshasa Master's gaze couldn't help but shift towards the girl's exposed waist and the curvature beneath her chest, shrouded by the embroidered silk. 。After pouring the t...
