Chapter 1423 - 1423:
Liu Zhizhong had just gotten out of his own car in the Daxi City Government courtyard and was preparing to head to his official car.
This was because he had already instructed Cao Dingjun in advance to prepare the car.
At this moment, Cao Dingjun already had some documents with him and was waiting for Liu Zhizhong in the official car. The driver had already started the engine, and the air conditioning was running fully. They couldn't let Vice Mayor Liu, returning from vacation, get hot, could they?
In the officialdom, the leaders' comfort with the temperature is indeed important. Although Liu Zhizhong isn't particular about these things, some leaders certainly are.
In fact, you might not know, but Liu Zhizhong had heard about this.
There was a place where there was a secretary—a really competent one, the kind who could move to Tiandu's circle in the next step.
Last New Year, the leader planned to inspect a major state-owned enterprise in a particular place. At that time, the weather was quite cold, but it was still a few degrees around ten degrees Celsius.
The logistical staff's requirement was that when our secretary arrives at your facility, the temperature when he gets out of the car must be 26 degrees. Anywhere he walks, whether through corridors, restrooms, or meeting rooms, must be kept at a constant 26 degrees.
My goodness, just to maintain a 26-degree air-conditioned comfort for this leader in the middle of winter, the state-owned enterprise installed air conditioning in the reception area, drop-off points, workshops, corridors, restrooms, and meeting rooms, wherever necessary. After everything was properly set up, they even rehearsed the air-conditioning adjustments for over a month.
This required a massive amount of human resources, material, and energy, all focused on this single task. Once this leader arrived, he only stayed for half a day, delivered some cliché remarks, and then left.
Many people complained about this practice, but many also imitated it! Some officials treated it as a privilege to enjoy.
Of course, Liu Zhizhong wasn't this type of person. Getting in or out of the car, a little cold or hot, what's the big deal?
As for Cao Dingjun, seeing that his superior had returned, naturally, he also got out of the official car and personally came over to greet.
At that time, Hamuer was leaving the city government office for an outing, but upon seeing Liu Zhizhong return, he definitely had to come over for a chat. After all, they hadn't seen each other in some time.
During the days in Daxi, the two had long become like brothers. Every two or three days, they made it a point to privately gather, sit together, exchange work experiences, and discuss politics.
To be honest, in these little gatherings, the tacit understanding between Hamuer and Liu Zhizhong grew stronger and their political awareness resonated on the same frequency, bringing mutual benefits!
Upon seeing Hamuer, Liu Zhizhong was delighted but suggested saving the conversation for the evening, as he needed to head to Mayor Zuo's office to report on his work.
Hearing this, Hamuer's expression turned slightly serious. He felt a bit indignant on behalf of Liu Zhizhong and murmured, "What's this Master of Extinction up to now? Is she trying to mess with you again?"
"Oh~~~ why talk about messing or not messing? We're subordinates, of course, we must be accountable to our direct superiors, haha..."
Liu Zhizhong, calm and composed, exuded a quality worthy of admiration.
Cao Dingjun, standing nearby, nodded with a smile, saying, "Mayor Liu is steady as ever! Mayor Ha, you needn't worry!"
Hamuer chuckled, decided not to press further, and just told him to join for dinner at his home in the evening. He then took his accompanying secretary and boarded another official car to head out for a meeting.
Liu Zhizhong then got into his official car, accompanied by Cao Dingjun, and headed directly to Huayang City Government...
