On behalf of Mayor Zhou, Secretary Xu made an offer to Liu Handong that was difficult to refuse. Anyone else would have been so enthusiastic and enthusiastic about it, but Liu Handong was extremely calm because he always felt that something was wrong.
Farewell to Xu Ning, Liu Handong walked along the riverside boulevard with a lot of thoughts. Now, he has no friends to discuss with, and there is no guide in his life. Everything must be thought and understood by himself, Xu Ning said.
If things were happening to him three years ago, he would have felt like he had won a big prize. However, now he has no surprises and is only confused.
In the past few years, Liu Handong has experienced a lot and has seen everything in the world. He has seen the billionaires Xu Ning mentioned, and he also knows several members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. No matter how big his career is, as long as the political situation changes, he will kill you in one fell swoop.
Back to the original shape, what kind of entrepreneur, what kind of big boss who takes both black and white, still obediently works in the anti-criminal base. Without a real society ruled by law, everything is just a cloud.
Zhou Wen obviously wanted to use himself to compete with Liu Fei, and fighting Liu Fei on the ground near the river would risk losing his head. Of course Liu Handong would not let Liu Fei go, but he didn't want to be tied to anyone's chariot.
He can't stand the restraint.
If you tell anyone about this, I'm afraid they will all support you to move closer to Mayor Zhou, because in their eyes, the mayor is a god-like existence. If you follow God, are you afraid of not being able to get ahead, especially if you dislike poverty and love?
My wealthy mother-in-law and my old father-in-law, who have always sought stability in their lives, must have been overjoyed and strongly supported me.
After thinking about it, there are only two people in my circle of friends who can give me appropriate advice. One is my cousin Liu Ziguang who is far away in Africa, and the other is Zheng Jiayi.
He didn't have Liu Ziguang's contact information at all. After much hesitation, he dialed Zheng Jiayi's number. The reason for hesitation was that he didn't want to show his hesitation and contradiction in front of Zheng Jiayi.
Zheng Jia answered immediately, her voice was lazy, and you could even imagine her on the other end of the phone wearing a bathrobe and with wet hair.
"It's so late, is something wrong?"
"I have something to ask you to help me make up my mind." Liu Handong regretted saying this because he had already chosen Zhongyanhuang, and talking about changing jobs now was a sign of unkindness.
"Say." Zheng Jiayi's voice became serious.
"That's it. The secretary of Zhou Wen, the new mayor of Omi, came to me and wanted to support me in real estate... to fight with Liu Fei." Liu Handong hesitated for a moment and then told the truth.
Zheng Jiayi said: "Two questions, first, what kind of life do you like and what kind of life do you hate; second, who do you live for? If you think about it carefully, you will naturally have the answer in your heart, so be it, I still
Something happened."
The phone hung up, and Liu Handong fell into deep thought. In fact, he had already made up his mind about the answer. He was just not confident enough and wanted to find someone to agree with him. Zheng Jiayi asked a good question. What kind of life do I like? Of course I like to be unrestrained and unconstrained.
Traveling around the world, fighting with swords, instead of engaging in government-business collusion, demolition and development in a place like Omi, drinking, singing and socializing all day long. On the contrary, that is the lifestyle I hate the most.
The second question is, who are you living for? Stay in Omi, marry a wife and have children, be safe, prosperous and happy, everyone is happy, but you are unhappy. Should you live for others or live for yourself? You can be comfortable however you like.
His lifestyle is something that his family hates deeply. As he thinks about it, he seems to have entered an irreconcilable dead end.
The night was getting darker, the lights on both sides of the Huaijiang River were bright, and the whistles of night ships were long. Suddenly, Liu Handong had a flash of inspiration. Nothing was absolute. Although working in Zhongyanhuang was a bit risky, following Zhou Wen, he was taking risks.
The political struggle is life-and-death and more cruel. It is safer to choose the lesser of two evils and station abroad, and you can also work with Zheng Jiayi...
He finally convinced himself and excitedly took a car back to the School of International Relations. The gate was closed at night. He climbed the wall to get in and used the branches of two big trees to swing over the electronic fence. He didn't know what was going on.
I went back to the dormitory and slept until seven o'clock.
A new day began. After breakfast, everyone entered the classroom with textbooks in hand. The class teacher came in with a tigerish face. He first called Liu Handong's name and asked him to run twenty laps on the playground.
Liu Handong knew what happened last night, and without any excuse, he went to run laps on the playground honestly. After running 8,000 meters, he saw Professor Shangguan standing by the track looking at him, with a bottle of sports drink in his hand.
"Professor, you betrayed me." Liu Handong smiled.
"I just did what I should do." Shangguan Jin said, "You are here to learn, not to cause trouble. If you don't want to learn, you can just leave. Why waste resources."
Liu Handong shrugged and didn't take it seriously, but for the sake of the drink, he still accepted the criticism humbly.
"Psychologically speaking, you are a typical immature personality. You like to be in the limelight and attract others' attention with your uniqueness. You are no different from a middle school student. Zheng Jiayi also has misguided eyes sometimes, tsk tsk." Professor Shangguan shook his head and opened the
I took a sip of the sports drink and walked away.
Liu Handong walked back to the classroom. The Arabic teacher was already halfway through his lecture. He could only start studying halfway and borrowed his classmates' notes to read.
After class, Liu Handong resolutely called Secretary Xu and told him directly that he had promised Song Jianfeng and could not betray others' trust by giving up halfway.
Xu Ning obviously did not expect this answer, but he politely expressed his blessing to Liu Handong and wished him smooth sailing in his new position.
"If there is anything you can do to help, just ask, especially for some private actions, I still have some capabilities." Liu Handong said.
"Haha, thank you." After Xu Ning made the call, she came to the mayor's office next door, knocked gently on the door, came in, closed the door, and said softly: "Mayor Zhou, there's a reply over there."
Zhou Wen was reading documents behind his desk. He raised his head and smiled: "How do you say it?"
Xu Ning smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Zhou Wen was not too disappointed. He knew Liu Handong's identity as an employee of the International Relations Department of Zhongyanhuang. He even got news that the National Security Bureau had previously obtained Liu Handong's detailed files in Jiangbei, including every detail from elementary school to high school.
Bu Luo, this guy is favored by all parties, so he may not join his sect.
"Forget it, just keep in touch." Zhou Wen said.
It has been a while since he took up his new job, and Zhou Wen behaved quite low-key. His office was Liu Fei's office before. Even the furniture and decoration were not changed and he just used it. Secretary Xu complained about this, but Zhou Wen didn't think it mattered. Anyway, Liu Fei
Mr. Fei works in the Zhuque Hotel. This place is almost new, so there is no harm in continuing to use it.
Omi City has been run like an iron barrel by Liu Fei. All ministries, commissions and bureaus are people from the Liu family, or people who are subordinate to Liu Fei. If Secretary Liu wants to do anything, he can just say hello in advance, and then the Standing Committee will definitely approve it. , and it’s difficult for Zhou Wen to do anything. He doesn’t even have a say in the appointment and dismissal of personnel within the government. Secretary Liu is too strong and directly intervenes in government affairs. He talks about everything and is like the emperor of Omi.
This kind of crude paternalistic style will definitely not convince everyone. There must be opponents of Liu Fei in the municipal party committee and government. Zhou Wen is dormant and forbearing, looking for political allies.
The first thing that comes to mind is Shen Hongyi. This person is Song Jianfeng's former secretary, and Song Jianfeng is a cadre of Zheng Jeff's line, and belongs to the same camp as Zhou Wen. However, Shen Hongyi's fortune is inseparable from the Xu line, and now he is vaguely in the hands of Liu Fei A gun can hit wherever you point it, and with the particularity of the public security system, the possibility of getting him to be an ally is slim to none.
As for the others, don't even think about it. Except for Liu Fei, who is just a stickler, he can't control them except for catching them for violating disciplines and laws. But Zhou Wen has no power in his hands. He can neither mobilize nor dispatch the police. Discipline Inspection Commission, what can we use to arrest people?
Maybe others are trying to pick on his pigtails. Since he was transferred to the provincial capital, Zhou Wen has almost stopped seeing Baina. He is cautious about his words and deeds in the office. This is a dragon's den and a tiger's den, and he has to guard against it.
Previously, Xu Ning had secretly mobilized public security technical investigators from Jiangbei. They took out five cameras and eight bugs from Zhou Wen's office, all of which were newly installed. Two of them were located in the bathroom and bedroom of the suite. Needless to say, Liu Fei sent someone to pretend. Zhou Wen gritted his teeth with hatred but could do nothing, so he had to recite the "Forbearance" formula fiercely.
It is frustrating enough to be the mayor to this point, but this is not a special case. Zhou Wen inquired that when Liu Fei was the municipal party committee secretary in a neighboring province, he marginalized the mayor like a transparent person and became the mayor in Omi. Even though he was the director, he was always in the limelight and did not give Secretary Cao of the Municipal Party Committee any face.
Speaking of Secretary Cao, it is quite interesting. When Jin Muchen was mayor, something went wrong and he was punished by Shuanggui. However, he was unscathed and continued to be the secretary of the municipal party committee. Liu Fei took over as mayor and did so well that Secretary Cao did not dispute it. Quan, took it calmly, and finally retired and became deputy governor. His understanding and grasp of politics are worth learning from.
Zhou Wen took the time to report to Vice Governor Cao. In the large office on the tenth floor of the provincial government, Cao Bin smiled and poured water for Zhou Wen himself and asked him if he was still used to living in Omi.
"Thank you Governor Cao for your concern. Life is fine, but work is not going well. I would like to ask Governor Cao for criticism and guidance." Zhou Wen said modestly.
Cao Bin sat on the sofa and took a pack of cigarettes from the coffee table. The white cigarette box had no writing on it and was a special variety made by the cigarette factory. Zhou Wen, with quick eyesight and quick hands, hurriedly took out a lighter and helped the leader light it. He pushed the ashtray over there.
"Comrade Zhou Wen, you asked me to give you some advice, right?" Vice Governor Cao said with a smile, "It just so happens that I also have some experience to teach you."
Zhou Wen was overjoyed. This was a good sign. At least the other party didn't reject him thousands of miles away and refused in official terms.
Cao Bin smoked a cigarette and said: "Our country's dual leadership system determines that the secretary is the squad leader and the head of government is responsible for execution, but the party and government are separated and do not interfere with each other. This is the bottom line, right."
"Yes, yes." Zhou Wen looked eager for knowledge.
"You are also a person who has been the secretary of the county party committee. You understand the thoughts of the top leaders, control the overall situation, say the same thing, and have a paternalistic style. This is a problem that top leaders in many places often make. This is also one of the major problems facing our country at this stage.
, Haha, of course this is the responsibility of the central government. We only need to consider how to solve the problems at hand. My opinion is that as long as his approach and governing philosophy are beneficial to the party, the country, and the people, we will firmly support him."
Zhou Wen did not expect that Vice Governor Cao's political wisdom was so simple. In other words, he was just a fool. He asked unwillingly: "What if the squad leader's approach is incorrect?"
"You have to believe in the organization." Cao Bin smiled meaningfully, "No one can be above the organization."
