When Tang Shusen suddenly mentioned Yuan Lizhi, Chu Heng felt excited, remembering the fact that Su Yan told herself last night that Yuan Lizhi invited Tang Chao to dinner.

Tang Shusen asked this now, is it related to their dinner last night?

"Yuan Lizhi is still like that now." Before he figured out what was going on, Chu Heng decided to answer vaguely.

Tang Shusen guessed Chu Heng’s thoughts and smiled secretly: “Old Chu, what’s that like?”

"Haha, it's just as usual." Chu Heng smiled.

"Are you going to let him go as usual?" Tang Shusen said.

Chu Heng heard something from Tang Shusen's words and said cautiously: "Secretary Tang, what do you mean..."

"I mean to let you and Yuan Lizhi ease their relationship and turn war into jade. Are you willing?" Tang Shusen said directly.

Tang Shusen has always liked to be implicit when he expressed his thoughts, but this time it was so direct, which was a bit beyond Chu Heng's expectations. His words surprised Chu Heng. Yuan Lizhi fired Tang Shusen's sister-in-law. He should hold a grudge against Yuan Lizhi. How could he let Yuan Lizhi go? He even turned war into jade?

Then Chu Heng realized that Tang Shusen said this now must be related to the dinner between Yuan Lizhi and Tang Chao last night. I don’t know what Yuan Lizhi and Tang Chao had tinkered with last night. Unfortunately, Su Yan went out to call herself but didn’t hear it.

But Chu Heng certainly wouldn't let Tang Shusen realize that he knew about the dinner between Yuan Lizhi and Tang Chao last night, so he made a shocked statement: "Secretary Tang, why is this?"

"Old Chu, have you carefully analyzed the current situation?" Tang Shusen said slowly.

“What is the current situation?”

"If you don't talk about the overall situation, just talk about the situation in your propaganda system. Since you became the Minister of Propaganda, Xu Honggang's power in the propaganda system has been over. Ye Xinyi has been suppressed by you and can't breathe, and everyone else is honest. But in the long run, from the perspective of stabilizing your position in the propaganda system and establishing your prestige, suppression alone is not a good idea. You have to pull it. Only by paying equal importance to kindness and authority can you truly establish your prestige and make your subordinates convinced." Tang Shusen said patiently.

"What do you mean is that for Xu Honggang's main players in the publicity system, I will beat Ye Xinyi and Yuan Lizhi?" Chu Heng said.

Tang Shusen nodded: "I'm considering this from the perspective of your work. As an important unit in the publicity system, if you suppress Ye Xinyi while suppressing or even bringing down Yuan Lizhi, what will the people in the publicity system think? Do you think you have too much revenge, and will you unconsciously want to keep a distance from you? If you become a lonely person, what benefits will this do you?"

Chu Heng remained silent. Although Tang Shusen's words made some sense, the reason seemed to be a bit far-fetched.

Tang Shusen continued: "As for your personal grudges with Yuan Lizhi, I know you are resentful of his suppression of your confidant in the Radio and Television Bureau. But Ding Lei, I have not been liberated, and have not become the deputy county magistrate now? Moreover, Yuan Lizhi now wants to obtain your understanding and be close to you. I believe that with the reconciliation of your relationship with Yuan Lizhi, other suppressed people will gradually be liberated."

"Secretary Tang, how do you know that Yuan Lizhi wants to get along with me? He is Xu Honggang's man." Chu Heng said.

Tang Shusen smiled: "Old Chu, tell you that Yuan Lizhi has completely deviated from Xu Honggang. What he wants to surrender most now is you and me. The thing he can't wait to join our circle and want to obtain your and my understanding the most. I can say that if you nodded now, Yuan Lizhi would come to the door with a generous gift to apologize to you in the afternoon."

Chu Heng frowned: "Secretary Tang, why are you so sure?"

"Because I had a phone call with Yuan Lizhi last night, he sincerely reviewed me for an hour on the phone, saying that he was confused for a while, standing in the wrong team, following the wrong person, doing the wrong thing, not to me, not to you, and regretting yourself when he remembered the wrong thing he had done before. After reviewing me, he said that he really wanted to give you a profound review in person, but he was worried that you would not accept it..." Tang Shusen exaggeratedly.

"Really?" Chu Heng was half-believing and half-doubting.

"Old Chu, do you have any doubts about my words?" Tang Shusen said with a smile.

Chu Heng shook his head in a habitual way: "No, I naturally believe your words, but I just feel too surprised."

"Actually, I was also surprised at the beginning."

"Yuan Lizhi is not fooling you, right?"

Tang Shusen smiled faintly: "Old Chu, who dares to fool me after you have seen me over the years? Who can fool me?"

Chu Heng couldn't help but nodded. This is because, for so many years, with Tang Shusen's shrewdness and skill, no one dared to fool him, and no one could fool him, and even he could not do it.

But Chu Heng still couldn't figure it out for a moment: "Secretary Tang, even if you are worried that I will suppress too many people, I can let Yuan Lizhi go temporarily, but there is no need to make friends with him, right?"

Tang Shusen smiled: "Old Chu, why are you confused? Since Yuan Lizhi decided to deviate from Xu Honggang, why don't we develop him into our people? In this way, this is another formal blow to Xu Honggang; secondly, even if we accept him, we will not let him enter the core circle, but just let him contribute to us on the outside. This will not harm us."

Chu Heng nodded, as if Tang Shusen's words made sense.

But despite this, Chu Heng remembered the fact that Yuan Lizhi and Tang Chao had dinner last night, and felt that Tang Shusen still didn't tell the truth to him.

But since Tang Shusen didn't say it, he naturally wouldn't ask.

Chu Heng quickly thought that Tang Shusen was trying hard to convince himself to reconcile with Yuan Lizhi. In addition to the seemingly reasonable reasons he said, there must be something behind it. These things might be Yuan Lizhi's transfer of interests through Tang Chao. This transfer of interests is the real reason why Tang Shusen made him and Yuan Lizhi reconcile.

Tang Shusen got the benefits, forgave Yuan Lizhi, and even wanted to accept him into their circle. It seemed that the benefits were quite good, which touched Tang Shusen's heart. Even the matter of his sister-in-law being fired can be let go.

Thinking of this, Chu Heng felt very uncomfortable. Damn, you, Tang, have gained benefits, but I have not gotten bird feathers. Why should I listen to you and let Yuan Lizhi go?

But Chu Heng also understood very well that since Tang Shusen had made things easy, he had to give him this face. If he went against his will in person, it would be equivalent to going against him.

As an old subordinate he has cultivated step by step for many years, he cannot and dare not go against any of his will. Even though he is now a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee at the same level as him, his foundation is far inferior to him, and his future position needs his continued support.

In the face of his own personal interests, Yuan Lizhi is too insignificant and not worthy of being unhappy because Yuan Lizhi made Tang Shusen unhappy.
