On the late summer night, the heat has subsided, and the slight night wind blows, making people feel comfortable.

Jing Haoran was half lying on the bamboo chair under the grape trellis in the yard, closing his eyes and pondering.

After resigning, Jing Haoran gradually adapted to his current life. The past has become a thing of the past, and the glory and glory of the past are no longer there. In his lonely and lonely state, he developed the habit of being alone.

When you are alone, Jing Haoran has more time to think.

After working in the system for decades, Jing Haoran has never stopped thinking. Thinking has become his habit, and he still follows him after leaving office.

Of course, after leaving office, Jing Haoran was thinking differently than before. What he thought about before was mainly work and the interpersonal affairs around him, as well as various complex relationships and contradictions between the upper and lower sides. But now, he is thinking more about himself, thinking about how to spend his perhaps long leisure years, and thinking about whether he can still make things happen in the long time.

Of course, as the former secretary of the Jiangzhou Municipal Party Committee, Jing Haoran inevitably thinks about his successor, and while thinking, he will also pay attention and observe him.

This is not a deliberate, but a subconscious.

Just as I closed my eyes and pondered, the phone in the living room rang.

Jing Haoran was lying there and didn't move. The nanny was in the living room and she would answer the phone.

After a moment, the nanny came out and whispered: "Secretary Jing, Secretary Tang called..."

Jing Haoran's eyelids moved. Since he stepped down, Tang Shusen rarely contacted him. Why did this guy think of calling tonight?

Jing Haoran then stood up, slowly entered the living room, sat on the sofa, picked up the microphone, and said in a low voice: "Yeah..."

"Secretary Jing, good evening, I am Shusen." Tang Shusen's warm voice came from the phone.

"Oh, Shusen..." Jing Haoran laughed, then looked up at the wall clock on the wall. It was almost 10 o'clock, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, why did he call himself at this time?

"Secretary Jing, haven't you rested yet?" Tang Shusen tentatively said.

According to this point, Jing Haoran would usually prepare for a rest, but tonight when Tang Shusen called, Jing Haoran subconsciously felt that he should have something to do, so he said, "Not yet, do you call me and have something to do?"

"Haha, yes, I'm thinking about something recently. I want to report my thoughts to you tonight. I wonder if Secretary Jing is inconvenient?" Tang Shusen said in a tentative tone again.

Tang Shusen's words made Jing Haoran find a sense of existence. He has this sense of existence whenever the current Standing Committee member reports his thoughts to him.

Jing Haoran also knew that as his resignation time extended, as his old subordinates continued to change and went their separate ways, there would be fewer opportunities to make his presence felt.

This made Jing Haoran feel a sense of unwilling loneliness and desolation, but he also knew that this was an inevitable trend.

Now that he heard Tang Shusen say this, Jing Haoran feels that his so-called reporting ideas must have their own ideas.

Jing Haoran couldn't help but feel excited: "I'm drinking tea and watching TV, so it's convenient, come on."

"Oh, OK, I'll go now."

Jing Haoran hung up the phone, then asked the nanny to make a pot of tea and drink it slowly.

After a while, the doorbell rang, the nanny went over to open the door, and Tang Shusen came in.

Tang Shusen carried a bag and put it on the coffee table after entering: "Secretary Jing, I brought you two boxes of Cordyceps to replenish your body..."

"Oh, Shusen, come here, what else can I bring? I'm going to see you, I'm going to see you..." Jing Haoran said a few politely, then asked the nanny to put it away, and then asked Tang Shusen to sit down and have tea.

Tang Shusen sat opposite Jing Haoran and looked at Jing Haoran and said, "Secretary Jing, your complexion is getting better and better now. I am happy to see Secretary Jing like this."

Jing Haoran smiled faintly: "Shu Sen, you are a rare guest, but I have not seen you some days."

"Secretary Jing, I am too busy with work on weekdays and I have wanted to come and see you for a long time, but I really want to leave time, so Secretary Jing is very grateful..." Tang Shusen said hurriedly.

Jing Haoran waved his hand: "I understand that you are busy. There is no need to be so polite. How about it? Are you doing well in your work recently?"

Since Deng Jun was transferred from the Municipal Party Committee Office, Jing Haoran has lost an important channel to obtain the latest news of senior management, and the news is somewhat blocked.

After hearing Jing Haoran’s question, Tang Shusen smiled bitterly: “It’s okay overall, it’s just…”

Tang Shusen seemed to be reluctant to speak but stopped.

"Just what?" Jing Haoran said carelessly.

"It's just that we do things with different bosses and have different moods and moods." Tang Shusen said.

Jing Haoran couldn't help but smile. Tang Shusen's words sounded quite pleasant.

"Shu Sen, why are the mood and mood different?"

"Simply put, it's better to feel happy when you follow Secretary Jing." Tang Shusen said directly.

"Hmm?" Jing Haoran frowned and looked at Tang Shusen, "Shusen, what you mean is..."

Tang Shusen sighed: "Secretary Jing, you are my old leader. You work with you. You know me well and use people well. I respect you very much. I am motivated and promising when doing things. However, after Lao An took over you, his working style and work style made me less and less adaptable..."

"Why can't you adapt?" Jing Haoran said with interest.

Tang Shusen knew that Jing Haoran had long been dissatisfied with An Zhe, so he then accused An Zhe without hesitation. The content was similar to what he said to Zhao Xiaolan, and added that An Zhe disrespects the old cadres.

After listening to Tang Shusen's words, Jing Haoran said nothing for a moment. What Tang Shusen said seemed to make some sense, but it depends on whoever stands on what kind of mood he understood. To be fair, after An Zhe took over, he worked vigorously and vigorously, with great strength in all aspects, and his political achievements were obvious, which was in sharp contrast with his time in charge.

But the more this happens, the more uncomfortable Jing Haoran feels. This means that he is unable to lead and incompetent in governance.

In addition, An Zhe's handling of Deng Jun undoubtedly slapped himself in the face, which made him feel angry and embarrassed when he remembered it.

Under this mentality, Jing Haoran couldn't help but want to agree with Tang Shusen's words.

But Jing Haoran immediately thought of another question: Why did Tang Shusen specifically talk to him about this? What was his real intention to come here tonight? He just wanted to vent his dissatisfaction with An Zhe in front of him, or was he intended to instigate his relationship with An Zhe?

Thinking of this, Jing Haoran couldn't help but feel a little wary. Damn, Tang Shusen has always been cunning and has always liked to take advantage of the situation. He can't easily use it.

Seeing Jing Haoran silent, Tang Shusen roughly guessed his thoughts and then said: "In fact, this is not just my own idea, but other members of the Standing Committee think so. Even among the majority of middle and grassroots cadres, this view is common. It is just that due to Lao An's domineeringness and arbitrary behavior, no one dares to express it publicly.
