Late at night, the breeze is cool.

The pavilion in front of the artificial lake in the Century Park of Youfeng City.

Su Mu and Chen Jianshu sat opposite each other.

If there are other options, Chen Jianshu would definitely not want to communicate face to face with Su Mu on such occasions.

But there was no way. The things that happened tonight were like a sharp fish bone, piercing deep into his throat, making him unable to vomit and have to face them carefully.

He knew better than anyone else that as long as there was any negligence and carelessness, the consequences would be irreversible.

By then, let alone Su Mu targeted him, even if Su Mu let go, the pressure from other aspects alone would make Chen Jianshu unable to hold on.

Can the already shaky mayor status still be preserved?

Losing this position under his butt, Chen Jianshu really didn't know who would take him seriously!

"Everyone regrets that people are not as good as water, Su Mu, I am very touched by this words now." Chen Jianshu stared at Su Mu's eyes and said slowly. The complex expressions revealed between his eyebrows were particularly dazzling and eye-catching in such a night.

"Chen Jianshu, are you feeling it now? If that's the case, you should have felt it long ago."

"We are all wise people, so you don't have to hide some things. I know very well what you want to say when you come here."

"It's just that I hope I can give five financial enterprises a way out, but I want to say that this matter is not something I can interfere with, or to put it simply, since the five financial enterprises want to plan secretly and use disgraceful means to deal with me, why should I let them continue to be free and easy?"

"Is it because they are local enterprises in Youfeng City? This reason is not enough to excuse them. I believe you have also seen that Youfeng City will usher in a blowout development. At that time, the major enterprises that will settle in will be at the forefront of the industry in China and will definitely kill these five companies in seconds."

"So is it important to have them? Besides, is it worth wasting your favor just because of them?" Su Mu smiled softly and said calmly as he tapped the stone table with his fingers.

Hearing this, Chen Jianshu's face did not show any dissatisfaction or anger. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said: "You are right. I don't need to plead for their five families, because if I were in your position, I would only be more disgusted with their five families, and the counterattacks would be more severe."

"But the five of them are at least local enterprises in Fengcheng City. Can you really watch them decline or even go bankrupt?"

"Once they go bankrupt, it means that countless people will be unemployed; their bankruptcy will affect the normal order of Fengshi City; if they go bankrupt, your glorious image of Su Mu will be covered in dust in Fengshi City, and in Hanshu Province, you will be slandered behind the scenes."

"Have I ever said I would let them go bankrupt?" Su Mu replied with a bit of fun in his eyes.

"You..." Chen Jianshu was speechless, and it seemed that there was really nothing. Everything was imagined by himself.

Su Mu looked at Chen Jianshu and said with a smile on his face: "Chen Jianshu, you are so anxious to see me. In addition to the five financial companies, what is more important is to plead for Leyou Group, or to plead for Park Ji-yeon, right?"

Chen Jianshu's face suddenly became unnatural, but he barely controlled it. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I have this idea. After all, Park Ji-yeon's Leyou Group is our Youfeng City and is the largest foreign investor. We cannot do things that destroy our own positions."

"If you do that, who else dares to come to invest here in the future? This is inconsistent with the investment philosophy you have always advocated. Secretary Su, are you right to say what I said?"

call!

After hearing this, Su Mu looked at Chen Jianshu deeply, turned around and looked at the lake water in front of him, and then breathed out a breath of turbid air and said slowly.

"Chen Jianshu, there is no reason for hostility between me and you. You will target me like this because of my arrival, which makes your power no longer the past and makes the so-called Five Finger Mountain a past tense."

"But don't you know? Their results were really caused by me? Do you have no responsibility for you and them?"

"After all, after all, I am the secretary of the municipal party committee of Youfeng City and the legitimate top leader. How could I tolerate my subordinates talking to themselves and not obeying the order?"

"Even so, even today, I treat you, not the right people. I think from beginning to end that what is different between us is political philosophy and style of doing things."

"You Chen Jianshu in Youfeng City for many years. Although you can't say that you have achieved much success, you are not a person who only cares about your own selfish desires and has no party principles. This is why I still meet and talk to you here."

"Because I don't want to see a cadre who has been trained in an organization for many years and finally reached the department level, and is plotted by others. I don't want my partner to decline like this. I don't want your family Chen Jianshu to become a joke in the eyes of others because of your fall!"

"Chen Jianshu, are you clear that from the moment you chose Qin Zheng, you have already embarked on a path of no return? If you don't repent, waiting for your ending will be even more serious than what I said!"

"Because Qin Zheng will not give you any promises, even if he promises, he will overturn it instantly. How can you hand over your future and destiny to such a person? Do you really think he will use political resources at all costs for you? A joke! It's nonsense, it's a fool!"

Chen Jianshu was like thunder, his face was pale, his lips were trembling, and his eyes were staring at Su Mu in horror.

"How could Su Mu know everything! He knows about Qin Zheng and me, and he knows so deeply and thoroughly about Qin Zheng! Where did he get the news? I am already cautious enough, he shouldn't know this!"

"But what he said seems to make sense. I used to seek medical treatment in an emergency. Now through this period of contact with Qin Chu and Park Ji-yeon, we can realize that Qin Zheng may not be sincere to me. He seems to just treat me as a cannon fodder and a pioneer!"

"Can I become Qin Zheng's confidant just because the other party needs it for the time being?"

"The most important thing is that Su Mu, who knows Qin Zheng's identity, not only does not have any respect or fear, but instead says these words strongly. What does this mean? It means that Su Mu does not take Qin Zheng seriously at all, and it means that Su Mu has absolute qualifications and background to fight with Qin Zheng."

"Yes, if it weren't for this, Qin Zheng would come to me? I was simply blinded by lard!"

"But judging from the actions and mind of the two, if you have to make a choice between Qin Zheng and Su Mu, Su Mu is actually the best answer."

...

Various thoughts were violently shaking in Chen Jianshu's mind!

Officialdom struggles have always been cruel and dangerous, and they can do everything they can. As long as one side wins, they naturally don’t mind making the other side fall.

Of course, Chen Jianshu also knew that unless the matter was really serious, there was room for recovery.

Even though I had gone to the province to sue Su Mu, even if I opposed Su Mu's mountain economic planning plan, these were all within the scope of the game and could be exchanged.

Could it be that I am too arrogant?

Or did Su Mu not treat me as an enemy at all?

Chen Jianshu suddenly became a little confused.

After detecting Chen Jianshu's expression and emotions, Su Mu looked at the starry sky and said quietly: "Chen Jianshu, I have studied your resume. What you were able to get from the grassroots level to the present was because of your heart to be loyal to the public."

"I believe that your original intention of becoming an official is the same as mine, and you all want to make a cause for the country, the nation and the people."

"But look at your current behavior? You spend all your energy on fighting for power with me, and for this, you will not hesitate to join forces with Qin Zheng and others, or even violate the principles and bottom line."

"Isn't this contrary to your original intention of becoming an official and engaging in politics? Ask yourself, have you really not changed your original intention for so many years?"

"If you really have your original intention, you would not have promised to reverse the economic development status of Youfeng City in three years, you would not have done anything and spent three years in vain! You would not have promised Qin Zheng to take advantage of Leyou Group to turn things around in order to keep your nihilistic hat!"

Chen Jianshu's face was gloomy and he felt a sense of embarrassment and shame.

"My original intention..."

Is Su Mu's words wrong? Yes, it is because it is right that it feels like a sudden enlightenment, completely awakening Chen Jianshu and causing him to fall into a brief confusion.

Thinking of his actions over the years and his performance after becoming mayor, he couldn't help but feel deeply regretful and blameless.

If you were to do other occasions, Chen Jianshu would never obey it.

But he will do it tonight because Chen Jianshu has completely defeated Su Mu.

As a loser, shouldn’t you listen to the winner’s preaching?

Besides, Su Mu's preaching was so insightful, every word was like a knife, and it sharply teared Chen Jianshu's soul, allowing him to clearly recall his original intention of becoming an official and entering politics.

He suddenly realized that for the sake of the so-called power and prestige and so-called face, he had actually ignored many more important things.

"In your opinion, what happened tonight may be just me bullying the weak, but have you ever thought about it? In the time when I promulgated the economic plan of the mountains, who has responded to these five companies?"

"They choose to remain silent is their freedom and power, so I will naturally not interfere. But they can't pull their backs, right? Declaring that this plan doesn't work everywhere, if there is any problem, I'm secretly making small moves."

"In the smallest way, this is to look at me, Su Mu, and in the big way, it is to openly confront the government orders made by the municipal party committee and government. Do you think they are doing the right thing?"

"Chen Jianshu, what is my purpose in Youfeng City? Is it to compete for power with you? If you think so, I will be too disappointed."

"After all, you are a cadre at the department level. Do you have such a narrow understanding? We are all party members and cadres, and we must pay attention to the Party Constitution and Party spirit in our work."

"To be honest, I just want the team to cooperate with each other, to complement each other and not to break up the situation, to work together without intrigue and fight for power, but I will never tolerate anyone who dares to go against my orders."

"Since you are here today, I will give you some face. I hope those five companies can figure it out and come to my office tomorrow morning to talk. If I come, I will give them a chance. If I don't come, it means I want to resist to the end, and I will show my face without mercy."

"As for Park Ji-yeon's Leyou Group, Chen Jianshu, I advise you to be careful and serious. If Leyou Group is really interested in our Fengshi investment, I can leave it alone."

"But is this the case? Park Ji-yeon has ulterior motives and only think about those evil things. Don't say you plead with mercy. Even if you don't plead with mercy, I will cause trouble for you. Whoever makes this company insist on attracting investment, will be responsible for his project!"

After saying that, Su Mu looked at Chen Jianshu deeply, turned around and walked out of the pavilion.

"Please take care of yourself!"
