A large drop of saliva slid down and fell on the table glass. Pan Baoshan quickly tore off an old-fashioned desk calendar and wiped it.

March 5th.

February 11th of the lunar calendar, Awakening of Hibernation. The weather was warm, and the sleeping insects woke up.

The words on the desk calendar entered Pan Baoshan's eyes, and a hibernating animal immediately appeared in his mind: Snakes.

Looking at the enchanting Zheng Jinping in front of him, Pan Baoshan felt that she was like a snake, a beautiful snake!

Zheng Jinping was showing off like this because she wanted to win over the hearts of the people. She had to be stable.

Pan Baoshan walked to the window and looked into the distance. A large area of wheat was fresh and pleasant, dotted with the figures of a few hard-working old farmers. The rich smell of life diverted his attention, and the distracting thoughts in his heart gradually faded.

"Director Zheng, when a woman picks up something that has fallen to the ground, she should learn from the air stewardess. She should first cross her legs slightly and then squat down, instead of standing straight and bending over like you.”Pan Baoshan said half-jokingly to Zheng Jinping. Anyway, she wouldn't be angry.

"Ya, look at you, you know everything!”Zheng Jinping straightened her back, her eyes rippling with love.

Pan Baoshan didn't look at Zheng Jinping and really didn't dare to continue messing around with her. "Don't worry about Director Zheng.”Pan Baoshan wanted to send her away as soon as possible." It's a special period now. You have to walk around as little as possible. Otherwise, people will say that you're privately canvassing for votes. It won't be good.”

Zheng Jinping was stunned as she held the materials she had picked up. She had wanted to continue to have a deep conversation with the handsome Pan Baoshan, but she did not expect him to not accept her offer. "You're right. We should be careful.”Zheng Jinping put down the materials and put on her coat. Her tried-and-tested trick was actually not effective, so she felt a little frustrated.

Watching Zheng Jinping walk out of the office, Pan Baoshan let out a long sigh, opened the tea box, and began to soak it in water.

Before the tea leaves could be brewed, Wu Qiang came again.

"Yo, Wu Wei, sit down, sit down. I'll make you a cup of tea!”Pan Baoshan was very enthusiastic. Wu Qiang was a member of the township group propaganda committee. He had entered the party committee and was at the same level as the deputy head of the township. He was a proper deputy subject and ranked ahead of the deputy head of the township who did not enter the team. The key was that he was not too old. He was just thirty years old. If he took a good step, he should be very good. Therefore, he had to be polite to him.

"No need, no need. I haven't eaten for long, so my stomach is not free.”Wu Qiang sat down with a smile.

"If you don't drink tea, smoke!" Pan Baoshan pulled open his drawer and took out a box of hardcore Chinese from his collection.

Wu Qiang lit a cigarette and took a drag. Pan Baoshan also lit one himself and began to ponder. There must be a reason for every mess. Wu Qiang rarely came to their office at the Agricultural Economics Station. There must be something going on here.

After thinking for a while, Pan Baoshan understood that he was definitely here to help Zhou Guofang get votes. The reason was very simple. The propaganda committee was from the party committee. Like the party office director Zhou Guofang, he was Huang Kaijian's team. At this critical juncture, it was normal to help his own people canvass votes.

"Wu Wei, I think Director Zhou is determined to win this by-election for the deputy township head.”Pan Baoshan took the initiative to express his attitude.

Wu Qiang rolled his mischievous eyes and pointed with his finger." Little Pan, don't think too much.”

Pan Baoshan was very puzzled. He touched the back of his head and smiled in embarrassment." Commissioner Wu, please instruct me."”

"Today is not an instruction, but a pointer.”Wu Qiang flicked his cigarette ash and smiled." You should think about yourself in this matter!”

Pan Baoshan felt as if he had fallen into the clouds. Wu Qiang asked him to consider himself carefully. Could it be that there was really a pie in the sky? Would he still have a good thing in the deputy township head's by-election?

Thinking about it, he still felt that it was impossible. Although there was the halo of being a transfer student, the relevant regulations still had to be discussed. First, there had to be a one-year probation period. After the period expired, they would be officially recruited. Then, they could be graded and so on. Anyway, that set of regulations was more cumbersome. Just like what he had thought before, after all, he had only been working for a short period of time. How could he be qualified?

"Wu Wei, what do you mean?”Pan Baoshan frowned and looked at Wu Qiang in confusion.

Wu Qiang chuckled." Some time ago, the Party Committee held a meeting to discuss the nomination of the deputy township head. Secretary Huang and township head Liang each had a candidate to recommend, and they were evenly matched. In the end, they had no choice but to use the banner of fairness and justice to prepare for a balanced election. Zhou Guofang and Zheng Jinping were both reported. In fact, they were setting aside time to do the back-up work. They were looking for connections with the upper echelons while building a foundation for the masses. If one party managed to get through to the higher-ups, click, and reject the candidate of the other party, then it would become an equal election. There was almost no need to consider the mass base. However, the higher-ups generally did not do that. It was easy to strike a blow to individual leaders. In similar situations, most of the time, both nominees were approved. Then, whoever had the ability would use it. Anyway, the village was going to hold a people's congress. They would choose themselves. Whoever had a good foundation among the masses would go up. Therefore, Zhou Guofang and Zheng Jinping were more active these two days.”

"I know a little about this." Pan Baoshan smiled.

"Those are all things that are clear to everyone. However, there are some things that haven't been revealed yet, so you don't know.”

"What else could it be?" Pan Baoshan really didn't know.

"When I reported it to the organization department of the county party committee, another person was added to the nomination list. You didn't expect it, did you?”Wu Qiang's expression was rather smug." Secretary Huang and Village Head Liang don't get along, but they don't want to be too superficial. That would have a bad influence. The party and government can't build a good team, and the higher-ups are very disgusted. Now, there were two nominees for the position of deputy township head. It was obvious that they had different opinions, so they needed someone to serve as a foil.”

"Ah?" Pan Baoshan immediately understood what was going on. He couldn't pretend to be confused now. When he was playing the pig to eat the tiger and scoring points, it would be easy for him to make things worse." Commissioner Wu, could it be that I'm the foil?"”

"That's right, it's you, Pan Baoshan." Wu Qiang nodded with a smile." You know, the choice of the supporting role is not random. There are certain rules. It is not good if the supporting role is too weak. The intention of the supporting role is too obvious, and it is not good if the supporting role is too strong. It is easy to cause an impact and cause the situation to go out of control. It is best to moderate it.”

"Then I don't understand again." Pan Baoshan scratched the back of his head." Although I'm a transfer student and have some advantages, I haven't even worked for a year. I'm not good enough. How can I be considered average?”

"It's not like you don't know that our city places great importance on the selection of transfer students.”Wu Qiang's tone was slightly heavier." Wang Fatai, the head of the county party committee's organization department, said that the transfer students can be promoted as an exception. As long as their performance is outstanding, there are no restrictions.”

"But I didn't do anything.”Pan Baoshan was telling the truth.

"Hehe, if you had an outstanding performance, your overall strength would have gone up. Why would I drag you to be a foil?”Wu Qiang smiled." It's precisely because you have obvious advantages and disadvantages. When you combine them, it's moderate. Moreover, others can't say anything about it.”

"Oh, I understand now.”Pan Baoshan laughed along, but he quickly sucked in a breath of cold air." Commissioner Wu, I still don't understand. Since he's just a foil, what's there to consider?”

"It's better to calculate it by coincidence than by accident.”Wu Qiang pursed his lips." Of course, it's also related to the foresight of knowing each other.”

"Wu Wei, the more you talk, the more mysterious it is.”Pan Baoshan stood up and poured a glass of water for Wu Qiang." Drink some water and tell me slowly. I'll listen carefully."”

Wu Qiang strangled the cigarette butt and lowered his voice." This year is a coincidental year. The change of the Party Committee has arrived at the same time. The township, county, and city levels have all been linked together. We have to make a move. I can't say for sure about other things, but the old Secretary Xiong of the County Party Committee has reached the age. He will definitely be removed this year. It was also for this reason that Secretary Huang and Village Head Liang had neglected him. Actually, it wasn't called neglecting him. It was just that they weren't as enthusiastic as before. However, people were very sensitive at critical times. Old Secretary Xiong felt uncomfortable. There was still more than half a year left, and he was kicked aside just like that?”

"Secretary Huang and Village Head Liang offended Secretary Xiong just like that?”

"That's right!" Wu Qiang suppressed his voice." So, of the three by-election spots that were submitted this time, only one is left!”

Pan Baoshan's blood rushed to his head, and he was stunned." Wu, Wu Wei, could it be…"

"Zhou Guofang and Zheng Jinping didn't pass the county party committee's organization department! Old Secretary Xiong knew what he was doing and was determined to teach Secretary Huang and Mayor Liang a lesson.”After Wu Qiang finished speaking, he picked up a cigarette.

Chickens know it's midnight, geese know it's dawn. Wu Qiang was a member of the publicity committee, so the news should not be wrong. Pan Baoshan immediately stood up and bent over to light the fire for him.

"Don't be so polite. Sit, sit." Wu Qiang smiled gently." Don't tell anyone about the quota. Secretary Huang and Village Head Liang don't know about it yet. This matter has put Minister Wang of the Organization Department in a difficult position. He has been in the organization for a few years and has always been a good person. He's very peaceful and doesn't put on airs. This time, I think he's feeling embarrassed, so he hasn't approved it. However, the approval will come by tomorrow afternoon or the morning of the day after tomorrow at the latest. The earliest is tomorrow morning. After all, the National People's Congress is going to be held the day after tomorrow. There has to be some advance."

"Aiyo, this is what happened." Pan Baoshan was secretly delighted, but he put on a worried expression." Commissioner Wu, if Secretary Huang and Village Chief Liang knew that their people were all killed, how could they keep their faces?”

"I can hang on." Wu Qiang smiled." It's not about the lack of people, but the imbalance. Their people have no chance, so they won't complain.”After Wu Qiang finished speaking, he stood up and patted Pan Baoshan." Alright, that's all I have to say. You should be mentally prepared. Don't be confused when the time comes. That would be embarrassing."”

After sending Wu Qiang out of the door, Pan Baoshan turned around and clenched his fists tightly. He closed his eyes and shook his head as he opened his mouth. He was intoxicated and overjoyed without making a sound. This accident was really too pleasant!

However, he could not lose his mind at any time. Pan Baoshan put away his smug look and walked to his desk to sit down. There were some things he had to think about. What should he do after he became the deputy head of the township? There was nothing to say about their own work. They had to devote themselves to it and do it well. With this platform, they had to do it well. The key problem was how to get along with the village leaders. The secretary and the township head each had their own faction. How should they stand on their side?

This was a big deal. Generally speaking, the deputy head of the township was from the government and should be in Liang Yanfa's team. However, Huang Kaijian was the head of the Party Committee and the Party commanded everything. Although this year was a new year, it was not impossible for him to be re-elected. It was also impossible to oppose him. Therefore, under such circumstances, it was best to remain neutral and not offend anyone. But how could he survive in the cracks? There was a lot of knowledge in this. If he offended both sides, he might even be sandwiched to death in the end.

Pan Baoshan lit another cigarette and leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling in a daze. Things were unpredictable. No matter how he planned, he could only prepare. As for the specific actions, they had to be based on the changes in the facts. In short, it was fine to be cautious and take one step at a time. In addition, the village leaders were all capable. He didn't care when he was at the bottom, but once he became the deputy head of the village, he had to consider those interpersonal relationships. Otherwise, he would offend people if he wasn't careful. They would find trouble behind his back and it would be troublesome.

With her relationship with Liang Yanfa, it was impossible for Zheng Jinping not to know that he was also nominated at the party committee meeting. However, she still came to ask for votes. Wasn't this a forceful snatch? It was not difficult to see that Zheng Jinping was thick-skinned and bold. He could not be offended, or else he would definitely be in trouble. However, such a person also had an advantage. His personality was straightforward and he would not play dirty. Even if he played dirty, he would not be too deep. Moreover, his endurance was also quite good. He would definitely let go of something that had happened for less than three days.

More importantly, Zheng Jinping had a serious obsequious attitude. He was definitely the type to devote himself to climbing up. Based on this point alone, Pan Baoshan was relieved. After this by-election, no matter what opinions Zheng Jinping had, as long as he took the position of deputy township head, Zheng Jinping would quickly change her attitude towards him.

At the thought of this, Pan Baoshan smiled. With a flick of his finger, most of the cigarette flew out of the window. Unfortunately, the cigarette hit the window railing and fell into the teacup.

"F * ck!" Pan Baoshan felt a wave of regret. He hadn't even drunk half a sip of the freshly brewed West Lake Longjing tea, yet it had been wasted just like that. He had no choice but to pour it out and change it. Pan Baoshan carried the teacup and walked out. Just as he reached the door, he heard a knock on the door, giving him a fright.

"Damn it, who's in such a hurry!”Pan Baoshan cursed in his heart. As soon as he knocked on the door, he quickly opened the door and saw that it was that son of a b * tch.

"Ah!"

A scream.

When Pan Baoshan saw this, an awkward expression appeared on his face.
