Chapter 51 51. Deputy Mayor Lin
A week of training is coming to an end.

It was not until Saturday afternoon that Lin Xiao finally found out where his new position was – he was assigned to Chaobai Town, Anyang County, Yizhou City, as deputy mayor.

The location and position made him frown.

No problem with the job!

Generally speaking, streets and towns are all section-level units, with the top leader being a section chief and the deputy being deputy section chief.

Lin Xiao is now a deputy section chief, so when he goes to a township, he will naturally be the deputy mayor.

But there are exceptions.

For example, the level of the provincial capital Ninghai is half a level higher than other prefecture-level cities, so all the streets were changed from section level to deputy division level.

The street where Lin Xiao worked before is located in the core area of ​​Ninghai, and has always had the habit of high-level staffing – high-level staffing means that the rank of the top leader is half a level higher than the unit level. For example, the street level is deputy division level, but the top leader is division level.

This kind of high-level configuration usually occurs at the top of the pyramid in units of the same level. For example, some strong commercial towns, whose GDP exceeds that of county towns and even some prefecture-level cities, will have half-level or even first-level leaders to preside over the work.

So, although Liu Liyun’s title of street office director sounds unimportant, she is actually a serious director-level leader!
Lin Xiao was just a small fry there, but now that he has arrived in a remote town, he has the legitimate right to be the deputy mayor.

What made him frown now was not his position, but the place name – Chaobai Town!

Anyang County is located at the easternmost part of Yizhou City, and Chaobai Town is located at the easternmost part of Anyang.

Going further east from Chaobai Town is the territory of the provincial capital Ninghai.

In other words, the distance between Chaobai Town and Ninghai is closer than to Anyang County.

When Lin Xiao found himself assigned here, he pursed his lips.

At first, he thought that job allocation was based on the cadres’ place of origin. He was from Anyang County, so he was assigned to Chaobai Town under Anyang County.

But after asking other people in the training class, I found that everyone’s assigned locations were very different from their hometowns.

Obviously, the positions are determined first, and then people are randomly assigned.

This is even weirder.

Why was he assigned to the place right next door to his home?
With such a coincidence, it was hard for him not to suspect that this was the work of his father-in-law, the mayor, in order to make it easier for him to reunite with his daughter in the future.

But thinking about it, it seems unlikely!
The mayor of a city is in charge of the arrangements of a deputy mayor? It’s like killing a chicken with a butcher knife!

Lin Xiao simply didn’t think about it any further.

Being close to home has its advantages. At least you can go home for meals and live at home.

I can’t avoid being urged by my mom to go on blind dates every day!
……

A day of training is over.

After returning to the room at night, Lin Xiao began to pack up.

Because the training will be completely over tomorrow morning, I can go home at noon and then report to Yizhou City early on Monday morning.

I was halfway through packing when WeChat rang.

Lin Xiao picked up the phone and looked at the nickname “Xixibuxixi”. It took him a while to realize that it was Han Xixi.

The two haven’t seen each other for half a month.

The last time they met, she was performing at Ninghai Stadium and he sent her there.

After that day, Han Xixi returned to Haicheng to work, while Lin Xiao was busy with work, buying a car, and training.

The two didn’t even chat on WeChat.

But they didn’t chat much before. After all, judging from the frequency of contact, they were not that familiar with each other.

Click on the chat page.

[Brother Lin, are you going to report to the township on Monday? ]

Lin Xiao was a little surprised that Han Xixi would ask this.

Tap the screen to reply.

【Lin: Yes, how did you know? 】

[Xi: I just called my mom and she told me]

【Lin: Oh, I see.】

A moment of silence.

Seeing that the other party didn’t reply, Lin Xiao took the initiative to ask: [What do you want to talk to me about? ]

After I sent this message, the message “The other party is typing…” kept appearing in the dialog box.

Lin Xiao was not in a hurry either. He half-lying against the head of the bed with two pillows under his waist.

The message was just sent.

[Xi: My mom said… you are going to report to your new unit, and she asked me to go with you no matter what…]

【Lin: Ah? No need! 】

[Xi: [Weak]] It’s that set of emoticons again.

Lin Xiao looked at this pitiful cute rabbit and burst out laughing.

【Lin: Then what did you tell your mother? 】

[Xi: What else can I say… She scolded me for not caring about you. It’s not the way to be a wife… I can only agree to her! ]

Lin Xiao smiled, and then he understood why she suddenly came to him – it turned out to be a collusion in her testimony.

After thinking for a while, I replied: [I understand. Then it will be the same as before. I will have a chance to tell your mom that you have been here! ]

On the other side of the phone.

Han Xixi just typed in the dialog box: “I happen to be free these two days…”

After seeing the message from Lin Xiao, I realized that he had misunderstood.

I…am not here to collude with others!
But she couldn’t explain it, so she could only delete the few words in the input box.

After hesitating for a moment, she asked: [Brother Lin, where is your position? ]

After she finished posting, she felt that it was inappropriate, so she added: [When my mom asks me later, I will be able to answer it well…]

Lin Xiao didn’t think much about it and sent the location.

Han Xixi quickly clicked it and jumped to the map on his phone, zooming in and out to see the distance between this place and Ninghai and the distance to Haicheng.

“Chaobai Town…”

“It’s very close to Ninghai, and the transportation seems quite convenient…”

She pursed her lips, and finally let go of the vague worry that had been in her mind for days.

[Xi: So you will be the deputy mayor of Chaobai Town in the future? ]

【Lin: Yes [embarrassing]】

[Lin: Isn’t it very unsophisticated? Don’t laugh at me.]

[Xi: How could that be? I think you are amazing and a brave person going against the tide! ]

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, feeling a little proud of being recognized.

【Lin: The one who goes against the flow?!】

[Xi: Yes, everyone else is running to big cities, but you are going against the flow and returning to the grassroots. Isn’t this a person who goes against the flow with firm beliefs? ]

After Han Xixi sent this paragraph, he realized that he had talked too much.

I was a little nervous waiting for a reply.

After a while, the phone buzzed.

She quickly picked up her phone to check.

The next second he was gasping for breath!
[Lin: This is a joke. You should really listen to your mom and take the civil service exam!]

……

The one-week training was successfully completed on Sunday morning.

Lin Xiao didn’t have lunch and drove straight home as he had to report to Yizhou City early the next morning.

The car was driving in the city and he suddenly felt a little hungry.

He had originally planned to buy some food at a supermarket on the way, but when he turned the corner, he saw the sign of Uncle Seabird Bakery – the same bakery that Han Xixi had bought food from twice when she lived at his house.

He quickly stopped the car on the side of the road and bought some bread.

Get back in the car.

Without rushing to start the car, he opened the package and took a big bite.

“Um?!”

He frowned, “Why isn’t it as delicious as the one Han Xixi bought?”

He was a little surprised and thought he had bought the wrong one.

But looking at the mark and logo on the packaging bag, it is indeed this brand, just in a different store.

“Could it be that the one near my house is better?”

He was puzzled but didn’t take it seriously.

I stuffed the food into my mouth without any preparation and swallowed it with mineral water, and that was my lunch.

The car started, drove out of the city and soon got on the highway.

Tomorrow, he will be the deputy mayor of Chaobai Town…
