At noon the next day, Secretary Chen and I met at the teahouse of a five-star hotel.

It was obvious that he had just finished eating here, because his breath smelled of alcohol.

We didn't sit in a private room because there were not many people in the hall. We sat next to the large and transparent floor, and there were no other people around.

It's good to talk about things in a place like this. There will definitely be no problem keeping confidentiality, and the environment is very good, because I can feel the fresh air here and the soft music floating in the air.[

He also likes to drink green tea.

I started to speak, "Secretary Chen, I'm sorry for keeping you from rest this weekend, but the matter is too important, and I think I should report it to you immediately."

He smiled and shook his head and said: "It's okay, isn't it all for the revolutionary work? You don't have any rest either? Tell me, what's the matter?"

So I briefly told him about my visit to the winery yesterday for investigation. Of course, my focus was on what Director Jin said to me later.

Finally I asked: "Secretary Chen, do you know these things?"

But what I didn't expect was that he actually nodded, "I know."

I immediately looked at him in astonishment, "You know?"

He nodded, "Yes, I know. I only found out about this when I got here. After all, as a state-owned enterprise that is going to close down and be sold off, I, the municipal Party committee secretary, should know about it, right? But I had just arrived here, and my hand

There were too many things going on, and I didn’t have time to understand the details carefully. Besides, such a small factory didn’t allow me to focus on it right away. But I stopped them from thinking about selling it off right away. Maybe it was because

Because of this, Lao Wen has more objections to me, right? I heard that he complained about this later, saying that his dignified mayor couldn't even decide such a small matter. But I pretended not to know anything, because I thought that we were going to

Jiang City's reform cannot be carried out rashly. It must be carried out in batches after an overall plan is in place. Haha! Things in this world sometimes happen by chance. Maybe our reform in Shangjiang City is already imperative.

God doesn't want us to fail. Yesterday you actually mentioned this matter in your mind, so I immediately had a new idea and asked you to learn about the situation of this winery in advance. Mayor Feng, now I really

I feel that this matter is a breakthrough. In this way, you can put this matter aside for the time being. I will ask the comrades of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to investigate in advance and clarify other issues in it before talking about it. This can also achieve the effect of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger.

Let those who have selfish motives and try to undermine the reform behave themselves."

I nodded, "That's it. Mayor Chen, I think Director Jin is very good. Can you use this person when you see it? I personally feel that if our Shangjiang Distillery really wants to reform,

This person is a good candidate to be the factory director."

He shook his head and said: "I still say what I said, first find out what's going on inside and then talk about it. If there is no problem with this person, then talk about it. It's safer this way."

Only then did I realize that as secretary of the municipal party committee, he indeed sees farther and deeper than me when considering problems.

The next day I went to have lunch in a newly opened restaurant. I didn't have any other intention, I just wanted to see if the taste here could be maintained.

The business at this place is actually so good at noon.

Ruan Zhenzhen saw me with a smile on his face, "I should call you Mayor Feng now, right? I never thought you could become such a big official at such a young age."

I couldn't laugh or cry, "Isn't my current level the same as before? Why weren't you surprised before?"

She smiled and said: "I always think that the mayor's official position is older. You used to be the director, and I always think of my class teacher when I was in school, hehe! Director, how old is your official position?"

I couldn't help but laugh.

She then asked me: "Brother Feng, can I have dinner with you?"

I hurriedly said: "No need. You can go and do your work."[

She said: "I'm not busy? Now the restaurant is on the right track. The people below are doing their own thing. My job is to discover problems in time and deal with them as soon as possible. It's okay."

I really didn't want to eat face to face with her. On the one hand, I didn't want others to see such a scene and arouse suspicion. On the other hand, I still didn't trust myself. I hurriedly said to her jokingly: "Forget it, you are too beautiful.

Now, with you opposite me, I’m worried that I won’t be able to eat. The beauty is so delicious, what else should I eat?”

She looked at me and immediately couldn't help but chuckle, "I never thought you could joke. Well, since you don't want me to accompany you to dinner, I'll go do it by myself. But someone will come soon, you

You will definitely be willing to let him accompany you."

I looked at her in shock, "Who is it?"

She smiled sweetly at me, "My sister. She called me this morning and said she wanted to bring her children here for dinner."

I looked at her and found a playful look on her beautiful face. I smiled bitterly and asked her, "Zhenzhen, what do you mean by that?"

She smiled and said: "It's not interesting. Weren't you and her colleagues before? So I think you won't object to eating with her, right? Also, if you agree, I will arrange your dishes together. Why?

Sample?"

Although I clearly knew that there was another meaning in her words, I couldn't say anything more, otherwise it would be suspected of being cover-up. I said: "That's okay. But when will she arrive? I'm

Very hungry."

And at this time, I saw Ruan Jie coming in with a child. Ruan Zhenzhen also saw it, and she smiled and said to me: "It seems that you two really have a connection. Hehe!"

Immediately, she ran towards Ruan Jie.

Ruan Jie came alone because she gave the child to her sister.

Seeing her walking towards me, I immediately smiled and asked her to sit down. I don't know why, but now I find that she and I seem to have a strange feeling. Maybe it's because we are no longer colleagues?

"How is it? How does it feel to be the mayor?" She asked me first.

I smiled and replied: "Not yet. We haven't gone through the National People's Congress election yet, so my job now is to be familiar with the situation. But local things are complicated enough, and I don't understand them very well."

She said: "I am definitely not as comfortable as you in the provincial recruitment office. After all, you were the top leader before. But now you are different, because you are the leader of a government department and can be assigned as a secretary, so you have more power. No.

Is it okay to understand? Anyway, you are so smart and you adapted quickly. I think you have to pretend to understand now even if you don’t understand. This is a matter of your prestige."

I smiled and said, "Yeah, now I'm just pretending to be like a pig with a green onion stuck in its nose. But I can't keep pretending like this forever. Only someone with real substance in his belly can really convince you." At this point, I

Suddenly he remembered the joke told by Secretary Liu, and then told the joke to Ruan Jie, and then said: "It is said that this is a real thing in our place. Please update soon. Do you think, if the organization alone

It gives yourself a kind of power, but if you don't have that level, you will be making a joke. Although this joke is a bit unbelievable, I think this is still the case among individual cadres in counties and cities, and

For us, the requirements for us from above will definitely be much higher. If we don’t strengthen our studies, we may still make jokes. There is no distinction between high and low-level jokes. Some jokes will affect our future, especially

For those matters that involve policy issues.”

I said so much just to remind her. Of course she understood, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there are really such stupid people down there. It's just unimaginable. But what you said is right, and I know it."

You are here to warn me. I will study harder in the future. Now that I am living alone, I don’t have so many worries, so I can calm down and read books and stuff."

I nodded, "Yes. You and I are still relatively young now, and this is our capital. Ruan Jie, in fact, what I am most worried about is your personal life. Don't be angry. After all, our relationship is different, so I think

I need to remind you. You are a woman, and the issue of reputation is more important than that of a man, and others are more concerned about it. So I hope you will be particularly cautious in this regard in the future. What I say is really from the bottom of my heart. You must not

You think I'm mocking you or looking down on you or something."

Her face suddenly turned red and she whispered to me: "Your reminder is right. Now I feel ashamed and blush when I think of those things in the past. I always think in my heart: Why was I so shameless before?"

What? Feng Xiao, I’ve thought about it. As a woman, you always have to have your own family. A divorced woman like me is not ugly at all. If I stay single like this, I will definitely be attracted by those men.

I have wild fantasies, so I think I should just find a man to get married. Anyway, anyway..." She looked at me and said, "Anyway, I know that you can't marry me.

Because you are so good, it is impossible to forgive me for the things I did in the past."

Her words had an obvious probing meaning, and of course I knew it in my heart. In fact, what she said was quite right, because I couldn't accept her past. After all, Leng Hua and Secretary Luo were people I knew. Although Secretary Luo is dead now,

Leng Hua is still here, if I really get married to Ruan Jie... Thinking of this, I feel sick and tired. But I also know that this is actually a question of whether it is worth it or not. If I

If you really like her and have deep feelings for her, then nothing else will matter anymore.

I said: "Ruan Jie, you and I have long passed the age of impulsive marriage, right? Besides, you know my situation very well. My father just passed away. Now, for me, there is nothing better than me."

Mother and children are more important. I no longer have extravagant expectations for my marriage. I just want to live alone like this for the rest of my life. Ruan Jie, you are different from me. You are a woman and you need to find someone you like.

, or the other person really likes your man and starts a family of his own. This is the most important thing. To be honest, you should learn from the lessons of your last marriage. The relationship between a man and a woman needs to be based on emotion. Otherwise, it will be the same.

It won’t last long. Ruan Jie, am I right?”

What I said was actually telling her in disguise: There is no affection between us, or simply I don’t have that kind of affection for you, so marriage is not suitable for us.[

She looked gloomy and said softly: "I know."

I suddenly felt that the atmosphere between us was very dull, and I didn’t want to talk about such things anymore, so I immediately asked: "How is the provincial recruitment situation now? Are you still convinced by Shanglongxing?"

She glanced at me and said quietly: "You just care about her."

I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart: Women are like this, they always like to be jealous for no reason. I said: "Ruan Jie, I only ask you this question out of concern for my previous work unit. You should know that when I arrived in the province

After the recruitment, I still did a lot of work, especially the ongoing admissions and admissions center project, which was handled by me single-handedly. I asked myself what went wrong in my previous unit? You

, why are you always so petty?"

She whispered: "I treat you... but you think I am small-minded. Oh! I am so pathetic. Forget it, I won't think about these things anymore, it is very unrealistic, whatever, from now on I will never

I won’t think about the possibility between us anymore. Shanglongxing... She is okay. Director Ke was a little awkward at first, but I guess he later felt that it was pointless to be awkward with a woman.

, there is nothing more now. Shang Longxing has one thing like you, that is, she is very tolerant to her subordinates. If she has any shortcomings, it is that she is a little indecisive when dealing with things. Haha! She is a woman.

, most of them are like this.”

Her words suddenly reminded me of what happened to Ke Xiangnan. In fact, I felt very sorry for him. I have to use fate to explain things like Ke Xiangnan. To be honest, this person has some abilities and his own

He has a relatively unique mind, is fairly decent, and is serious about his work, but his future is just stuck there. Is there any other reason for this besides using fate to explain it? You know, a person

The background is also an integral part of destiny.

In contrast, Shanglongxing's luck was much better. By chance, we talked about the issue of scholar-type officials, and then I happened to have dinner with Governor Huang and Lin Yu, and Governor Huang happened to talk about this issue again.

, and then came the matter of adjusting the deputy position of the Provincial Recruitment Office, and then things continued to develop in that direction. During the development of the whole thing, Shanglongxing almost reached its due position step by step. What is this if not fate?

As for the indecisiveness of Shang Lian Xing mentioned by Ruan Jie, this is actually not important. What is important is that now she has taken the top position, and she is already at the deputy department level.

Levels are something you can see and touch. From the department level to the next level, this is a step. Many people work hard all their lives but never get up. You know, the deputy county magistrate in the county is also the deputy director level.

Level. And it becomes more difficult for a person to go from department level to deputy director. Of course, if you want to continue to move up, it will definitely be even more difficult. This is the case in any country's bureaucracy.

The fewer the positions, the more difficult it becomes for a person to move up. This is inevitable.

At this point, the distribution of wealth is the same, in a pyramidal state.

I am different. Judging from my journey along the way, I should be one of the luckier people in the world. I went from being an ordinary doctor to the director of the department, and then concurrently served as the director of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Medical University.

, and later directly became the director of the Provincial Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, leaping from a department-level cadre in a university to the deputy department level. All this was because there was a key person behind me working for me.

That is Lin Yu.

Fortune tellers often tell people: There is a noble person in your life. The so-called noble person refers to the most auspicious noble person in your life. When a person is in trouble, he can help you turn disaster into good luck and relieve disasters.

.When you are only one step away from success, but it is harder than reaching the sky, his appearance will make you reach the sky in one step. In this sense, Lin Yu is the noble man in my destiny.
