140: The Party School training course concluded successfully.
The economic paper written by Lin Zifeng had been featured in the internal reference of the Huanan Province Party newspaper, and news of this had spread among the students at the Party School.
Therefore, after one class ended, many students came up to him, and while feeling envious, they one after another congratulated Lin Zifeng.
Lin Zifeng had only just heard about this from the lecturer during the economics class moments ago, so he had only just learned the news himself.
Thus, while feeling happy inside, he responded to everyone one by one in a low-key and polite manner.
"Zifeng, you really are hiding your light under a bushel! You don't make a move, but when you do, it's a stunner! Congratulations, Zifeng. Once this training ends and you go back, it won't be long before you get a promotion," Zhang Zimo said with a sincere expression.
Hearing what Zhang Zimo said, Lin Zifeng thought to himself that it was absolutely impossible for him to be promoted in the short term.
Because he had not been serving as county magistrate for long, it was impossible for him to change positions within a short period.
However, he did not speak his true thoughts, but instead smiled and said, "Thank you for your well wishes, Brother Zhang. I hope your words come true."
"Zifeng, with this, you will definitely be the most outstanding student in our cohort. It really makes one envious!" Class monitor Wang Chusheng said with envy.
"An outstanding student, what's the big deal about that? Does that mean it can make Lin Zifeng jump directly from a deputy division-level to a division-level official?" The youngest, Li Yuhang, said sourly.
He was the youngest among this group of students and served as the deputy director of the Personnel Division at the Provincial Party Committee General Office, so he always felt superior to others.
Therefore, although he always appeared refined and elegant, deep down, he looked down on the other students.
He felt that many of them came from the grassroots level and did not have the same level of prestige as him, a deputy director.
Now, having been provoked by Lin Zifeng and in a state of extreme jealousy, he had said such low-class words.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he realized what he had done and hurriedly tried to remedy the situation, saying, "Zifeng, I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to remind you not to get carried away and let the leaders think less of you. If that happens, it will be detrimental to your future development."
Everyone understood the meaning behind Li Yuhang's words. Zhang Zimo could not help but want to retort, but was stopped by Lin Zifeng with a glance.
He smiled and said, "Classmate Yuhang's reminder is correct. I just got lucky; it's not really a big deal."
He did not want to get into an argument with the arrogant Li Yuhang because of one sentence.
Since they were not of the same kind, he would just interact less in the future; there was simply no need to waste his breath.
Just then, the bell for class rang. Li Yuhang breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his seat with the others.
Time passed quickly, and a month soon flew by.
That afternoon, this training class successfully concluded.
The lecturers and various senior officials of the Party School came to the playground with the fifty-two students. After happily taking a group photo, a Vice Principal happily announced that this training class had successfully concluded.
The remaining time was for the students to manage freely.
They only needed to gather at the Party School playground at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, as they were going on a field trip tomorrow.
Students with good relationships arranged to go out for drinks together.
"Zifeng, why don't you come out and celebrate with the brothers? We're leaving the Party School tomorrow," Zhang Zimo invited with a smile.
"Brother Zhang, although we are leaving the Party School tomorrow, don't forget that we still have to go on a field trip! We won't separate for another two or three days, so we will still have time to gather. I won't be joining the celebration today; I've already made plans with someone in advance," Lin Zifeng said with a smile.
"Oh, I see. You must be going on a date with your girlfriend, right? Your girlfriend is from the provincial capital, and we are leaving tomorrow. This is your last night of intimacy with your girlfriend, and I actually forgot about that. Go on, hurry up! I won't accuse you of valuing romance over friendship," Zhang Zimo teased.
"Thank you for understanding, Brother Zhang. I'll be going then." After saying this, he left with a smile.
Lin Zifeng had long since made plans with Chen Yuxi, so after he walked out of the Party School gate, he quickly walked towards the car parked on the side of the road.
Opening the passenger door, he sat directly in the passenger seat. The two exchanged a smile, and Chen Yuxi drove away from the Party School, heading towards the Residential Community where she lived.
"Zifeng, I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. In the blink of an eye, three months have passed. You are leaving the provincial capital tomorrow, and I really don't want you to go. The provincial capital is so far from Yushu County; it won't be easy to see you," Chen Yuxi said with a look of reluctance.
"We are still young. If the love between two people is everlasting, does it really matter if they are separated? Every departure is for a better reunion next time. Besides, transportation is so convenient now. As long as I can find the time, I will come to the provincial capital to see you. You can also find time to go to Yushu County, right? Now that you have joined your sister's company, don't you have a reasonable excuse to go to Yushu County?" Lin Zifeng expressed his thoughts.
Hearing what Lin Zifeng said, Chen Yuxi felt much more at ease. As they talked along the way, Chen Yuxi drove the car into the Residential Community.
Everything proceeded as usual, but because Lin Zifeng was leaving the next day, Chen Yuxi changed her usual demeanor and was much more active and proactive. Thus, it was not until eleven o'clock that the two fell into a deep sleep in each other's arms.
Fearing that he would oversleep, Lin Zifeng set an alarm for seven o'clock in the morning. The next morning, the two woke up at the same time to the sound of the alarm.
"It feels so good to open my eyes and see you," Chen Yuxi said, smiling sweetly at him.
"I feel the same way. As long as we hold on for a few more years, there will be countless happy days like this waiting for us in the future!" After saying this, he kissed Chen Yuxi lightly on her red lips, and the two got up at the same time.
After getting ready simply, the two went downstairs together. Chen Yuxi drove the car out of the Residential Community and parked in front of a steamed bun shop.
"Forget it, Yuxi. It's no big deal to skip breakfast." He knew she wanted to buy him breakfast, so he wanted to stop her.
"How can that be? You wait a moment, I'll be right back." Chen Yuxi said, stepping out of the car without giving him a chance to object.
A few minutes later, Chen Yuxi returned with a cup of soy milk and a steamer of small steamed buns.
"I'll drive, you eat breakfast. It won't waste any time, hurry up and eat!" Chen Yuxi handed the things to Lin Zifeng and started the car, continuing to drive towards the Party School.
"Your car smells so nice; aren't you afraid that if I eat in here, the car will end up smelling like food?" Lin Zifeng said with a smile.
"What silly things are you saying? I accept everything about you. It wouldn't be okay for anyone else, but for you, anything is fine." Chen Yuxi said without thinking.
Seeing Chen Yuxi's matter-of-fact expression, Lin Zifeng revealed a bright smile.
