Just when Sun Qingcheng had a splitting headache and was thinking hard, his cell phone suddenly rang. Sun Qingcheng picked up the phone uneasily and glanced at the phone number. His expression immediately changed, and his trembling right hand hesitated for a long time.
, finally pressed the answer button, and said with a bit of fear and trembling in his voice: "Master, do you have... something to do with me?"
When the master called, Sun Qingcheng felt that his world had plunged into boundless darkness at this moment.
The master let out a long sigh and said slowly: "Third brother, you are a smart man, you should understand what I mean by calling you."
After saying this, the master paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "Lao San, you are a very capable person. The superiors have never wanted to give up on you and hope to keep you, but now, Liu Qingyu has launched the integrated investigation
Mechanism, although there are more elements for him to activate this mechanism to create a show, but since he dares to activate this mechanism with your case as the core, it means that Liu Qingyu already has enough evidence to bring you down.
As for what these evidences are, the higher-ups have tried their best to obtain them, but they have not been able to obtain them.
However, some rumors were vaguely heard above. It is said that whether it is your wife or Feng Zhengtai, they have all explained some key issues, and these issues are likely to involve some sensitive information, and it is very
Unfortunately, the center of this sensitive information is you, so in order to ensure that the Anti-Corruption Bureau opens a gap in you..."
The master's words ended abruptly, but Sun Qingcheng was already full of smiles. At this moment, even though he had been in officialdom for decades, his heart was still beating violently and uncontrollably, and his mood became extremely irritable at this moment.
His heart was filled with unwillingness and resentment, but he endured it.
He knew the meaning behind the Master's words.
Only when his own information is known in this world can he completely cut off the ties between his wife and Feng Zhengtai and the people above him through him. Therefore, no matter how powerful he is in indulging himself, and no matter how reluctant he is in indulging his superiors, in the face of Tiandu Province's anti-corruption campaign
The bureau launched such a heavy blow, faced with the increasing anti-corruption efforts of Liu Qingyu, and faced with the decision of the people above to save the car, and he, Sun Qingcheng, was just a deputy mayor. In the face of these forces,
He had no power to resist.
At this moment, two crystal tears slowly fell from the corners of Sun Qingcheng's eyes.
Sun Qingcheng thought of his great ambition when he entered the officialdom after graduating from university. He recalled that he had determined to be an official who was beneficial to the country, the people and the common people. He recalled what he had written in his diary the year he graduated from university.
The next paragraph: The most precious thing for human beings is life
Life belongs to people only once
This is how a person's life should be spent
when he goes back to the past
He will not regret wasting his years
Nor will I be ashamed of doing nothing...
This passage is from his favorite work "How Steel Was Tempered".
This passage once supported his transformation from a cowherd boy in a mountainous countryside to gradually moving out of the mountains to university, to the city, to government agencies, and to leadership positions. This passage inspired him for the first half of his life.
It was precisely because of the intensity of this passage that in the first half of his life, he struggled and struggled desperately. He wanted to get ahead, he wanted to be a master, and he wanted to be the controller of his own destiny.
However, when he reached a certain deputy director-level position, when the power in his hands reached a certain level, when he could really decide the fate of others through the power in his hands, he was lost in this strange world.
In a divorced, colorful and luxurious society, he was lost in the temptation of power.
Power, like stimulants and drugs, made him feel comfortable, made him truly feel the value of his existence, kept him excited all the time, and made him fall in love with this subtle but invisible thing.
.
He fell deeper and deeper into the whirlpool of power, and it became increasingly difficult to extricate himself. In order to gain greater power, in order to make his excitement stronger and stronger, he struggled and fought desperately, and he learned
He has learned to flatter others, learn to flatter others, learn to deceive others, learn to form gangs, and learn to form cliques for personal gain. He has changed.
His official position is getting higher and higher, the power in his hands is getting bigger and bigger, the forces around him are getting stronger and stronger, his money is getting more and more, his head is getting less and less, his sleep is getting less and less,
His health is getting worse and worse, and his sense of security is getting worse and worse.
He is always on guard against everything. He is worried that his subordinates will overstep their authority and seize his power. He is worried that his superiors will abandon him and choose another spokesperson. He is even more worried that the anti-corruption and disciplinary inspection departments will catch him for his corruption and bribery.
He tried every means to distance himself from the relationship between money and money, and he did not hesitate to put his wife and daughter out as spokespersons. He only hid behind the scenes and strategized.
He always believed that he had a backer and an agent, and no matter what happened, he should not be implicated. These calculations of his had indeed paid off in the past few years.
But it wasn't until that day when the master told him that he might become an outcast that he realized that no matter how good he was, no matter how powerful he was, in the eyes of the people above him, he was still just a person.
It was not until that moment that he suddenly realized that despite his hard work and flattery throughout his life, he had reached this high position, but everything he had was given to him by others. His
At the end of life, it is still not up to him to make the decision.
Almost overnight, his head and beard turned gray due to worry, and he lost a lot of hair.
He prayed in his heart, hoping that bad luck would not come, and that Liu Qingyu would not operate on himself.
But in the end, he found that he still could not escape the tragic fate and still became an outcast from above.
Sun Qingcheng smiled miserably, tears flowing innocently.
At this time, the master's ruthless and cold voice continued to come over: "Lao San, you can go without worry. I can assure you that your wife and children will be fine. The higher-ups can assure you that they will be fine.
Before you go, you'd better leave a suicide note and write this in your suicide note..."
Although the master's voice tried to sound very caring, Sun Qingcheng could hear the extreme coldness in it. It was a coldness that had almost no humanity at all.
This is the master. He only cares about success or failure, and only seeks victory. In order to achieve the goal, he will do whatever it takes.
After the master finished speaking, Sun Qingcheng's tears dried up. He wiped away his tears, nodded slightly and said: "Master, don't worry, I will do what you asked. But master, there is something wrong with me."
It’s so clear.”
"You ask?" the master said with a sigh.
"When a person is about to die, his words are also good. Master, I know that in your eyes, except for the people above, all other people may become your pawns, but I don't know if you have ever thought about it. If one day in the future
, when what you do does not meet the requirements of the people above, when you have no use value to the people above, or even become a stumbling block on his way forward like me, you will
Won't he become an outcast?
Master, you know, I don’t have any ill intentions. I just want to remind you to cherish life and everything you have in front of you. Don’t be like me, who worked hard all your life and ended up like this in the end.
Really, if I had known this, why did I have to work so hard to find a camp and go against my inner will to flatter him?
Although I have reached the position of deputy mayor, up to now, not only have I been burdened with the reputation of being a corrupt official, but I have also been burdened with sadness and resentment. Tell me, why have I come to this?
If I had been my deputy director with peace of mind, if I had done things with peace of mind and not acted against my conscience, and if I had honestly done more things for the people, even if I died, it would have been a well-deserved death. At least, the people
It’s good that you still miss me.”
After saying this, Sun Qingcheng hung up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, the master's hand was holding the mobile phone, and he was speechless for a long time.
After a long time, the master sighed and said: "Sun Qingcheng, I know you are resentful and you will die with your eyes open, but why do you have to destroy my Taoist heart before you die? I know clearly, what do you think of a smart person like me?
I don’t understand my current situation?
Between you and me, although I am the leader, we are still essentially the same. You and I are just pawns in the hands of the boss. From the moment I was invited out of the mountain by the boss, I knew my fate.
I will be tied to the fate of my boss, and even when necessary, I will become an abandoned son like you.
However, I am not willing to live a mediocre life. Even if I die, I will die vigorously. Since I want to live, I will have success. At least one day, when I die, I can still
Recalling the years when I was all-powerful. Even if I was only a chess piece, so what? Doesn’t a person as big as the boss still have to act according to the plan I set? After this life
, I have no regrets in life! Although you and I are both chess pieces, our pursuits are different. You are too obsessed with money and power, while I only pursue the feeling of commanding the world."
Speaking of this, a touch of sadness flashed deep in the master's eyes, because he knew that although he could say these words to Sun Qingcheng, Sun Qingcheng's purpose was still achieved, and the master at this moment finally had to think about it.
, what should I do if one day I am going to have the same fate as Sun Qingcheng?
