The soul traveled through Qi Tongwei and ruined Liang Ping's dream of living a comfortable life

The work at the end of the year is always so busy, with various reports and documents that need to be sorted out, as well as dealing with inspections from above.

In late December alone, Xinyue Town received nearly a dozen leaders from the province, city, county and other places.

For example, on December 12, leaders of the Urban and Rural Construction and Environmental Protection Committee of the Provincial People's Congress Standing Committee came to Xinyue to investigate agriculture, forestry and water source protection work.

On December 12, the deputy director of the Family Planning Department of the Provincial Civil Affairs Bureau and his team went to Xinyue to inspect family planning work.

On December 12, leaders from the Municipal CPPCC, Municipal United Front Work Department, Municipal Federation of Industry and Commerce and other departments went to Xinyue to inspect ethnic affairs and military service village construction work.

Including the Municipal People's Congress, CPPCC, Municipal Public Security Bureau, Municipal Transportation Bureau, Municipal Industry and Commerce Bureau, County People's Congress, County CPPCC, County Justice Bureau, County Health Bureau, etc., a series of inspections made grassroots leaders like Qi Tongwei miserable. The reception alone cost a lot of money.

The most tired among them are Lin Taiping and Sun Liancheng. One of them is the person in charge of party affairs, and the other is the head of the government. All leaders above the deputy director level need their participation and companionship, and they also have to remember some data. What if you encounter a serious leader who really asks you a few questions and you can't answer them?

Not only are you embarrassed, your leader is also embarrassed. Once your leader is embarrassed, your career will also be embarrassed.

Finally, on the 30th, everything was done.

As night fell, Qi Tongwei lay in bed. In the past few days, he accompanied the leaders to the countryside, visited the grassroots, visited farmers, and traveled through mountains and rivers.

For many jobs, he also needs to check out the work site in advance to prevent any problems from occurring along the way.

After the inspection, we have to book a private room and bring out good wine for the guests. The leaders in the government agencies are not like the grassroots leaders. They have a lot of business and a lot of drinking parties. They can’t eat without wine, so we have to go to the county to purchase good wine...

After a great ideological struggle, Qi Tongwei finally got out of bed to take a shower. After the shower, Qi Tongwei's eyes were blurry and he was about to fall asleep soon.

Just as he took off his shoes and prepared to change into a comfortable sleeping position, the phone on the bedside table rang.

"md, who is it?"

Qi Tongwei was speechless. After a complaint, he got up and answered the call. The number displayed was Lu Zhou's, but there was no note. However, it seemed a little familiar.

"Hello, I'm Qi Tongwei"

"Secretary Qi... why did you answer the phone just now?" a pleasant female voice came from the other end of the line.

Qi Tongwei was sure that he must have dealt with the person on the other end of the phone, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Um...Excuse me...who are you?"

"Secretary Qi, you actually don't remember me... Woo woo woo, I'm so sad..."

The woman pretended to complain and continued, "I'm Chu Mengyun, a teacher at Xinyue Middle School. We had a barbecue together last time."

Qi Tongwei said "oh", and he remembered that the last time he went to Jingzhou to receive the award, the night before, he shared a table with two teachers from Xinyue Middle School in a barbecue restaurant in the town.

"Oh, it's you, Teacher Xiao Chu. I'm sorry, I forgot your name. What's wrong? It's so late. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Chu Mengyun groaned in her delicate voice, "It's only ten o'clock, it's not late at all, it's like this, Secretary Qi, isn't tomorrow night New Year's Eve, I don't have many friends in Xinyue, can you spend the New Year's Eve with me?"

Qi Tongwei asked, "I remember... isn't there a teacher named Li? She can accompany you."

"Oh, Secretary Qi, Li Lan has to go with her boyfriend and can't come with me."

“Is that so…”

Qi Tongwei thought for a while and decided to reluctantly agree to Chu Mengyun. After all, this was the demand of the people and he must try his best to meet it.

"Well, okay, Teacher Xiao Chu, tomorrow is a holiday, so please arrange a place and we will meet there."

"Okay, okay"

Chu Mengyun screamed happily, "Secretary Qi, I heard that there will be a New Year's Eve party at the county gymnasium tomorrow night. It is said that there will be fireworks at twelve o'clock in the evening."

"Huh? Really?"

"Really, Secretary Qi, our school leader said that his wife works at the county government and is well-informed."

Qi Tongwei nodded, "Okay, fine, I'll pick you up at six o'clock tomorrow night."

Chu Mengyun said "yeah", but soon asked back, "Secretary Qi, there will be no shuttle bus tomorrow at six o'clock...why don't we go earlier?"

Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "Teacher Xiaochu, you don't have to worry about this. That's it. See you tomorrow."

Chu Mengyun pouted and said, "Okay"

After hanging up the phone, Chu Mengyun happily jumped off the pink bed, stepped on the floor with her pink jade feet, opened the wardrobe, and started trying on clothes one by one.

"It doesn't look good..."

"It doesn't look good..."

"It still doesn't look good..."

"Hey, this one is great, it's for you."

After finally picking out the clothes she liked, Chu Mengyun prepared her cosmetics in advance and placed them on the dressing table. Feeling that it was not enough, she took out her newly bought white shoes and placed them on the bed.

After doing all this, Chu Mengyun nodded with satisfaction and slowly walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

Because of the half-month-long inspection preparations, Xinyue’s party and government officials, as well as ordinary staff, were already exhausted.

Therefore, at the Party Committee meeting in the morning, Sun Liancheng proposed that everyone be given a day off, starting on the 31st and ending on the 3rd of next year, and they would not have to go to work.

Sun Liancheng's suggestion was quickly agreed upon by everyone. After the meeting, the Party and Government Office issued a notice announcing the holiday and explained that there was no need to adjust the holiday.

As soon as the news came out, everyone was naturally very happy. Some went home, some ran to the county town, but more people, like Qi Tongwei, went back to the dormitory to sleep.

Qi Tongwei originally planned to go back to his hometown in Yantai during the three days of New Year's Day. After all, he had not been there for more than half a year.

But in the morning, the county party committee notified that on the afternoon of the 4th, all party and government leaders of townships, street offices, and county-level units had to go to the county party committee for a meeting, apparently to learn some spirit.

Time was running out, so Qi Tongwei didn't plan to go back. After all, it was still quite far away. It would take almost twenty hours to drive there and back. It would be better to wait until the Spring Festival to go back.

From the phone call with my mother Wang Xiaomei a few days ago, I learned that both of them are in good health, so I feel relieved even if I don’t go back.

……

On a winter morning, the sky was not yet completely bright, and a layer of light white mist filled the cold air.

The sun gradually rises, and the golden sunlight shines through the thin clouds, sprinkling on the earth, bringing a touch of warmth to people.

The trees on the street had already lost all their leaves, leaving only dry branches swaying in the cold wind.

Pedestrians on the road were walking hurriedly. They were wrapped in thick cotton coats, wearing hats and gloves to resist the severe cold.

After Qi Tongwei woke up, he looked out the window. The sky was high and the clouds were light, but the cold air coming from outside made his body shiver, and he quickly closed the window.
