The most fundamental reason why I agreed to her was because of the help the old director had given me. {Free Novel} I remember my father once said something to me before he was alive: You must have a conscience. When others are going downhill, you should try to cheer them up.
When people go uphill, try to stay away.
I can't be that noble, but now the old director needs comfort, that's for sure. He has reached retirement age innocently in his life, but I hired him back and gave him a certain amount of power, which resulted in this
As a result, although I have no responsibility in this, as a friend, it is necessary to comfort him in such a situation. Warmth is needed between people, and the time when warmth can truly be reflected should be at this time
.
I didn't drive because I thought I might drink a lot with my old director today. The driver didn't go back, but I didn't want to call him because it was my real private matter. It's best not to let him know about things like this.
.
Although the driver is someone close to me, he can know some of my secrets, but not all of them. The same is true for my secretary.[
It was Chenchen who came to open the door for me. When she saw me, she immediately smiled at me beautifully. Her eyes looked more like Zhao Menglei today, because I found that there was a lot more tenderness in her eyes.
I suddenly smelled a strong aroma of wine coming from the room. It was the smell of Maotai liquor.
"He locked himself in the room and didn't want to come out," she said to me in a low voice.
I nodded. After entering, the old director's wife asked me to sit down very enthusiastically, and then started to chatter, "Director Feng, thank you so much for our old man's matter. He was also obsessed for a while before he did such a thing. This
The old man threw all his wine on the ground when he came back. Xiaochen and I swept it for a long time before cleaning it up. You smell it, this room is full of alcohol, I almost got drunk."
I was shocked, "What about the piece of wine? Where was the piece of wine that he received from someone else? He also threw it?"
The old lady shook her head, "That's not true."
I immediately laughed: This shows that he is still somewhat rational.
The old lady continued: "Director Feng, fortunately Xiaochen called you. I was so anxious today that I didn't know what to do. Thank you so much. Our old man really met a noble person. Without you to help him
If so, his life will be over..."
I didn't want to hear her continue nagging, so I hurriedly said: "The main reason is that the old director's problem is not very serious. It's fine now. Auntie, don't be so polite. The old director and I have known each other for many years, so of course I have to take care of his affairs.
Fortunately, Chenchen told me about this matter, otherwise they would have come and ransacked my house tomorrow, which would have had a huge impact."
The old lady turned pale with fright, and immediately went to Chenchen and said, "Xiaochen, you thought of Director Feng at the critical moment..."
Chenchen interrupted the old lady with a smile, "Mother, I am now the deputy mayor. Why do you still call him Director Feng?"
I hurriedly said: "That's just a title. Auntie, I'll go talk to the old director, or I'll ask him to go out for a few drinks later. Just leave it alone."
The old lady was immediately ready to run and knock on the door, but I stopped her and said, "I'll do it."
I immediately went to the closed door and knocked gently, "Old director, it's me. I'm Feng Xiao. Please open the door, and we'll go have a drink. What's the big deal? Now
Isn’t it over now? It’s okay, just go have a drink with me and you’ll feel better.”
The old director said inside: "Xiao Feng, I'm fine. Just leave me alone."
I couldn't help but laugh, "I know you're fine. Can I ask you something? Governor Huang asked me to convey a message to you. Open the door and I must tell you immediately."
I had to say this, and at this time, I also had a desire to express myself in front of Chenchen.
He finally opened the door. In front of me, his hair was all white, and I couldn't help but feel horrified.
The old lady also discovered this situation, and she immediately screamed out loud, "Old man, why did your hair turn gray in just a short time? Don't be confused!" [
Chenchen also looked at him in surprise.
The old director looked at us in astonishment. I hurriedly said: "It's okay. You look much more elegant now. Your hair used to be gray, which made you look older. You're much better now. How energetic do you look like this?"
Just like the old professor. Old director, let’s go and find a tavern to have a drink.”
He said: "I'm going to look in the mirror."
Then he went directly to the bathroom.
I smiled bitterly and said to the old lady: "For such a thing, you must first have a calm mind. What he needs most now is comfort, and he needs to be freed from that matter as soon as possible."
The old lady smiled bitterly and said, "Wasn't I shocked? He was fine when he came back, but why did his hair turn white in a short while? This old man has never encountered such a thing in his life. It must be
Terrified."
Chenchen said hurriedly from the side: "Auntie, please stop talking. Let Mayor Feng go have a drink with him. He will have a way to persuade uncle."
I said: "I'll do my best."
At this time, the old director came out and said, "Let's go. It's better now. There's no need to dye your hair in the future."
I found that his mental state was really getting better at this time. Just now, the moment he opened the door, I found that the corners of his eyebrows were drooped, and his face had a completely downcast look. But not now
Much the same, he returned to a basically normal state within a short period of time.
I immediately knew why
In fact, what the old director cares about most is his reputation. After he was taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the first thing he thought of was that something must have happened to him. Of course he knew the value of the Maotai liquor, so
He also knew what kind of outcome he might face. Under such circumstances, he felt at ease because he had to bear corresponding responsibilities for what he had done. Even if he was imprisoned, he would have to accept it.
But he didn't expect that he would be fine and would be released soon. That's how people are, after they have hope, they will have more ideas. At this time, the old director suddenly thought of his reputation, and for a while
I still take this issue too seriously.
It is normal for him to take this issue very seriously, because he cares too much about his reputation. Perhaps, he was thinking about this issue just now when he locked himself in the room alone, and it was precisely because of this that he
All my hair turned gray in an instant.
Buddha said: If you let go, you will have it.
But we are always unable to let go, so we have many worries. At this moment, he seems to have let go of part of it.
In fact, I can't let go, but I haven't encountered the same problems as him, so I can be indifferent. So I can go drink with him and comfort him.
As ordinary people, we don’t need to give up everything. What we need is to be indifferent.
The old director and I went downstairs together, and then we took a taxi to the riverside, where we still had the same fish farm, the same private room, the same pot of fish, and then some food and drinks. There was also a bottle of Maotai.
"I don't drink this stuff," he said immediately after seeing the bottle.
I immediately laughed and said, "Old director, why are you so confused? What's wrong with drinking? Many things are caused by our temporary greed."
He was startled, and immediately sighed and said: "Xiao Feng, I have lived to such an old age, why can't I understand my life better than you? It's a pity that I have all the wine."[
I smiled and said: "Old director, you are wrong again. Those wines are a pity, but they take away your troubles? It's okay. I will find you some bottles of good wine in a few days. I gave them to you,
Just feel free to collect it and drink it, because I don't need to bribe you."
He said: "Okay. Open it, let's drink!"
I smiled and said: "Let's drink!"
The two of us drank a bottle of wine, a bottle of Maotai. Then I told him what Governor Huang asked me to tell him, "Send the wine to the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Provincial Education Commission tomorrow."
He said: "I will send it."
I felt completely relieved because he was truly calm inside.
To be precise, our drink was a psychological therapy session for him. I specially asked for Moutai in order to make him face what had happened. He accepted it, which means that he truly
Go face it. In fact, there is a kind of letting go called facing it calmly. This is what I suddenly realized at this moment.
I asked him to send the wine to the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Provincial Education Commission tomorrow, and he immediately agreed without any hesitation. This already showed that he no longer cares about his reputation at this moment. If he does something wrong, he will do something wrong.
His heart has become calm and indifferent.
To be honest, I can comfort him and provide him with psychological counseling. But I know that if I face such a thing, I may not be able to do it as well as he does. Maybe I will never be able to extricate myself.
Therefore, I admire him very much in my heart.
Any person, as long as he has a strong heart, is worthy of admiration.
Later, I took a taxi to take him home. It was already midnight when I arrived at his house. He was already a little drunk. I guess it was also love.
Because of emotions.
Chenchen was still there, and she looked at me gratefully, "Come in and sit."
I shook my head, "No. I have to go home. I have something to do tomorrow."
She looked at me, as if she was hesitant to speak. I immediately asked her, "Is there anything else?"
She was startled for a moment, then shook her head and said: "It's okay. You can go back and rest early. Thank you."
I smiled at her, then turned and left. Maybe it was because of the drink, but I felt so light on my feet.
The next night, we hosted a banquet for Governor Huang at a five-star hotel in the provincial capital. Secretary Chen and I were waiting outside the hotel early.
Governor Huang arrived on time at 6:30, and he was accompanied by the deputy secretary-general who contacted him, and his secretary.
After the meeting, Governor Huang took the initiative to shake hands with us. I felt that his palms were a little moist. Maybe he had not had a good rest last night. I suddenly thought of Udon plums, and I felt a sense of emotion in my heart.
We really only talked about work at the wine table, mainly about some issues in the reform of state-owned enterprises in Shangjiang City, including project establishment and some issues related to banks.
Secretary Chen reported carefully, but Governor Huang's reply was very clear. In short, it was one sentence: the province will provide strong support.
After dinner, Secretary Chen invited Governor Huang to drink tea. Governor Huang shook his head and said, "Let's do it some other time. I've been too busy lately and I'm feeling a little unwell. You're busy too. I've said everything that needs to be said. You follow the provincial regulations."
Just do it with bold spirit."
Secretary Chen nodded and said: "We will work hard to do a good job. Leaders, please rest assured. Governor Huang, can you take a step to speak? I have something else I want to report to you alone."
Governor Huang seemed to hesitate for a moment, then nodded immediately.
We went to the lobby below to wait. About a quarter of an hour later, Governor Huang arrived, accompanied by Secretary Chen. We put him, the deputy secretary-general and Governor Huang's secretary in the car.
Mayor Feng, you did a very good job on this matter. Our work will make faster progress because of this."
I found that he was in a very happy mood. I guess the conversation he had with Governor Huang just now was very good. I can completely believe that what he just talked to Governor Huang was a private matter and his own personal matter. And I also know that today’s conversation was just for business.
It's just an appearance, but his real purpose is these last ten minutes.
My analysis is of course well-founded. Governor Huang told me that day that he had to first explore Governor Wang’s attitude before deciding whether to come to our dinner today, and he came today. This already shows that Governor Wang
The president forgave Secretary Chen for that matter.
Leaders also need to make choices, not to mention that what Secretary Chen did was not malicious to Governor Wang. Secretary Luo, a small secretary, cannot completely influence the relationship between him and Secretary Chen. It may only have affected him.
It's just a temporary emotion.
I said: "Secretary Chen, I haven't done anything. I just contacted the leaders according to your instructions. By the way, today I also connected with Director Ye of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, and he also expressed his strong support for us.
Work."
He said: "Let's go have a cup of tea and chat by the way."
Then, just the two of us went to the teahouse inside the hotel. After we sat down, he said to me: "Mayor Feng, you and Mayor Qin both have some connections in the province. After all, you both came from the provincial capital.
But Mayor Qin is in charge of industry, and things in the city cannot be separated from him. Lao Liu is practical and steady in doing things, which is his advantage, but he is timid and has little relationship with the province. He is at home
When the time comes, you have to visit more provincial departments, so you don’t have to stay in the city every day. When he is away, you have to go back to the city to take his place. This will be the arrangement from now on."
I nodded, "I will obey your arrangement. It is true that many matters in the city require more communication with the departments in the province."
He looked at me with a smile on his face, "Mayor Feng, you are different from Mayor Liu. On the one hand, you and I are old friends, and on the other hand, you are a deputy. I really hope that you can often be in front of me."
Suggest some contrary opinions. Don't worry, I have such tolerance, and I will never have an opinion against you because some of your opinions are too harsh. You don't need to be so submissive in front of me at any time, I still like you as before
You, Mayor Feng, I find that you seem to have changed a lot recently. You no longer like to speak your true thoughts in front of me as before. This is not good. At night, the municipal party committee secretary has great power, but
This can also easily lead to mistakes in some of my decisions. Just listen and you will understand. Both you and Secretary Yang should remind me of certain things at any time."
I don’t know whether he was excited after drinking or it was really his inner thoughts. I said: "I don’t feel that I have any changes? I just mentioned some of my personal opinions to you not long ago, didn’t I?"
He smiled and pointed at me, "You, don't think I don't know. I heard from Lao Liu that now you have to report everything to him. This is a good thing, but it's not always a good thing. You are in charge of it."
At work, it is right to report big things to him, and just do small things by yourself. For example, the meeting on city management held by your abbot this time was very good. This matter should have been caught long ago. And I also listened
You said you criticized the people below you very severely, right? That’s right. Just take care of what needs to be done, and catch what needs to be done. If you report everything, that will tie your hands and feet, and it will be detrimental to your work.
Develop."
I didn’t expect him to be so well-informed, and I felt that this was even more abnormal. I said, "I accept your criticism. But I will definitely report some things to you in the future." Then, I immediately changed the topic, "
Secretary Chen, you just mentioned the issue of urban management. There is one thing in this matter that I am still very worried about until now, so I will report it to you now."
He immediately said: "Oh? Come and let me listen."
I immediately said: "There are serious hidden dangers in the drinking water problem of residents in Shangjiang City. Secretary Chen, the drinking water in our Shangjiang City is diverted from a reservoir on the mountain to the water plant, then disinfected and delivered to every household.
......."
He asked me in surprise: "Isn't the river water we drink?"
I shook my head, "As far as I know, a few years ago the province required urban residents along the river to stop pumping drinking water from the river as much as possible, and the province also allocated special funds. Later, Shangjiang City decided to supply water from the mountain.
A reservoir in the country diverts water. But now I discovered that the Water Conservancy Bureau actually rented the water surface of that reservoir to some farmers for raising, which caused huge pollution to our water sources. Fortunately, there are disinfection procedures in the water plant, otherwise it would be possible
There has been a problem for a long time. I have personally visited the reservoir and the situation there is really shocking. Moreover, this result has caused the water plant to suffer serious losses every month because they provide clean drinking water to the city.
The cost has increased a lot. This is not what I am most worried about. What I am most worried about is what if someone poisons me. Now we in Shangjiang City are about to carry out the reform of state-owned enterprises. As the reform deepens, the life pressure of ordinary people will increase.
The number will increase a lot, especially those laid-off dual-income workers. What if some people can't bear the pressure, or a person suddenly appears who wants to retaliate against society? You know, the current reservoir is completely open, without any
With the safety measures in place, anyone can come in and out at will, and there are even cases where someone poops and pees in the reservoir."
He hurriedly interrupted me, "Stop talking. This is so disgusting. I don't drink bottled water every day."
I smiled and said: "Secretary Chen, what I told is the truth. That's why I severely criticized the Director of Environmental Protection that day. Although the Water Conservancy Bureau is in charge of the reservoir, the monitoring of environmental protection issues is his responsibility? From this it extends to
Another issue is that our department heads in Shangjiang City have poor initiative in their work. Secretary Chen, no matter how strong a good horse is to pull a broken cart, it is a very difficult thing to achieve results. Are you
Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, I think the problem of cadres must be addressed first. The problem can not only be solved by changing a group of cadres, but the key is to establish a cadre mechanism that can be promoted and demoted."
He nodded, "The two things you mentioned are indeed very important. Especially the latter matter. What you talked about before is just a phenomenon, and the problem behind is the root. This problem should be solved first. So Mayor Feng, you
What do you think of this incident involving so many people in Shangjiang City?"
He actually came to ask me this question, and I looked at him doubtfully, "Secretary Chen, is this just an accidental thing? Neither you nor I expected such a result, right? Neither did the leaders in the province.
So, I think the key to the problem is not our Shangjiang City, but the widespread corruption of cadres. Do you think this is the case?"
He immediately laughed and said, "What you said is so clear. But some leaders don't think so. They think it's us who made the mistake."
I said: "What if we poke a leak? It's like a pustule on our body. Someone has to pop it, right? If we don't pop it, bacteria will enter the blood.
This will cause bigger problems, such as sepsis, meningitis, etc. In that case, it will be out of control."
He lightly tapped the coffee table in front of him and said, "Well done! Keep talking."
I said: "The question now is how the province views this matter. I hope it won't be too magnified. Otherwise, it will create a situation where people are in danger. Secretary Chen, to be honest, this matter
It was originally related to me, because Secretary Luo introduced this company to me, and later they also did the provincial recruitment project. However, I did not accept a penny from them, nor did I do anything else.
Anything, so I can completely stay out of it. But from this matter, I have to think about a question, that is, how many people can withstand such temptation? That woman named Peng Hui is indeed too beautiful.
And they also took a financial offensive. Now when I think back on that incident, I can’t help but feel scared.”
He looked at me, "Really? Is there such a thing? Mayor Feng, after hearing what you said, I really admire you."
I smiled bitterly and said: "On the one hand, I am not short of money. Not short of money is actually just a person's understanding, because I think money is enough, and too much is meaningless. That woman
...To be honest, it would be an absolute lie if I said I wasn't moved at that time, but I was really scared at the time because I was not familiar with this company and that woman. That's why I had a certain amount of resistance.
force."
In fact, the most critical reason I didn't tell him was that Lin Yi asked that woman to pretend to be the secretary to the CEO of a listed company outside the province. It was precisely because of that incident that I became more vigilant.
He shook his head and sighed: "Yes. How can you blame us for some things? Fortunately, the leaders in the province still approved our approach."
I nodded, "I heard that the Provincial Party Committee Secretary also praised this action you presided over."
He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "But I don't know how many people I have offended. Forget it, let's continue to do our own things. Now I don't care about anything, I just want to improve our Shangjiang economy.
.As for what others say, it will be decided in the future."
I immediately felt that the atmosphere between us was a bit dull. I said: "Secretary Chen, don't worry, I will listen to your greetings at any time. As long as it is something you ask, I will complete it satisfactorily, even if you
If I am not told anything, I will take the initiative to do it well."
He nodded, "I am completely reassured about this. You are indeed a good person at work, but you need to be more steady when dealing with some relationships. But it doesn't matter, after all, you are still young, and you will gradually become more mature in the future."
Mature."
I hurriedly said: "Secretary Chen, can you tell me? What have I not done well now? I will correct it immediately."
He immediately laughed, "You asked this question, which already shows your instability. Haha! You can just listen to such things, and then slowly understand them yourself. Some things are boring after they are said.
Am I right?"
I immediately laughed awkwardly.
He immediately said: "Mayor Feng, now that I think about it, some of your reminders were right. I was indeed not careful in handling the Jiang Kui incident..."
I was suddenly startled, "What happened?"
He sighed: "His old mother, his wife, and children... His wife turned on the gas and committed suicide after the family fell asleep at night. What happened last night."
My heart suddenly sank, "Why didn't I know about this?"
He said: "This is also the fundamental reason why I talked to you today. This matter is currently in a confidential stage. Xiao Feng, we used to be friends. I will tell you some things clearly. I believe you can understand me. In fact,
, my handling of this matter at the time was not wrong, because this person did have problems, and now his problems have been clearly explained by himself. But after such a thing happened, after all, it was against us
The municipal party committee and the municipal government have caused a great impact. Now I am thinking, how to deal with the aftermath of this matter?"
I immediately understood the underlying meaning of his words. Although my heart was very heavy, things had reached such a point that I could only do anything I could. I had said everything I needed to say to him, and now I
We must also give him advice and consider the aftermath.
I said: "Secretary Chen, you are right. Your decision at that time was correct. The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection was not wrong in its double regulation of Jiang Kui, and the current facts have completely proved this."
This is not that I am repeating what he said, but it is a necessity. Because I must express my attitude. And then I must continue to say, "I have never suggested anything to you. I have agreed with you from the beginning."
I voted in favor of this decision at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. Not just me, but all the Standing Committee members voted in favor. So, if there is really any responsibility, I also have a share in it, and every Standing Committee member
We are all responsible. There is nothing more to say about this."
He shook his head and said: "I am the municipal party committee secretary, and I have to bear the main responsibility."
I immediately asked: "Are you responsible? Are we, the Standing Committee, responsible? Suicide is an individual act, how can it be regarded as the responsibility of the municipal party committee? By the way, Secretary Chen, there is no problem with the conclusion of suicide, right?"
He said: "The people from the Provincial Public Security Department came to the conclusion, because there was only his wife's fingerprint on the gas switch. And no other suspicious clues were found at the scene. Mayor Feng, can you express this attitude to me?"
I feel relieved. So, how do you think we should handle this matter next?"
I suddenly felt that what I just said was too much, so I hurriedly said: "Secretary Chen, what do you think?"
He said: "What else can you think about? As you said, they committed suicide, and Jiang Kui's problem is an iron-clad fact. I just reported the matter to Governor Huang, and he also said that with the provincial public security
The conclusion of the department shall prevail. Therefore, we must stick to our own principles on this matter. What we must guard against now is that someone will use this to cause trouble in the municipal party committee and government.”
I understood what he meant, which was that the municipal party committee and the municipal government had no responsibility in this matter.
It's so miserable. I can't help but feel desolate in my heart.
At this moment, I once again felt a sense of power.
This sense of power comes from my deep understanding of myself: Even though I am now the executive deputy mayor, I am still so insignificant.
Yes, I am indeed very insignificant, so insignificant that I am not as good as an ordinary person in some things. The ordinary people in the teahouse can talk whatever they want, but I cannot say anything casually on such issues. I must obey the views and opinions of the main leaders.
Of course, I don't have to be like this, but the final result is that I am truly insignificant and truly become an ordinary person. This is the cruelest reality I face.
The reason why I didn't want to enter administration at first was that I was afraid that it would be too complicated. Now I realize how naive I was at that time. At that time, I never imagined that it would be so complicated, even thrillingly complicated.
Now, I am already in it, and I am actually used to some of the rules there, but I still feel frightened at any time.
Being cautious and walking on thin ice is the ultimate way to save yourself. This is the idea that Governor Huang instilled in me. Now I really feel that what he said is right.
Jiang Kui, I don’t know much about this person, and I don’t even know what this person looks like until now, but I already understand his situation, and judging from the current situation, what I know about this person
The situation should be completely real. He is very poor and has to engage in corruption for the sake of his family. What is even more sad is that he is a relative of Jiang Shanan.
He could be greedy for more and make his family live a good life. But he didn't. Maybe this person was too stupid, or maybe he woke up too late. In short, he adopted the stupidest way to obtain and
Not much money. Moreover, something happened to his relative Jiang Shanan.
Is this also fate?
Yes, it is fate. It can only be explained by such an illusory and abstract thing as fate.
Someone once said something like this: The most basic things in this world can be explained by mathematics. When mathematics cannot explain it, it can be explained by physics. And above physics is philosophy. When philosophy cannot explain some things in this world,
If so, then we can just use religion to explain it.
It is precisely because of this that the great scientists Newton and Einstein gave up science in their later years and began to believe in theology.
Now, I also have this kind of confusion, because Jiang Kui’s matter cannot be explained with the knowledge I have. Now, he is being trapped in Shuanggui, and he and his family have been separated by Yin and Yang. This is not fate.
What is it again? Can other logic be used to explain it?
What's even more tragic is that the death of his family is worthless.
According to Secretary Chen, Jiang Kui will not receive any compensation, and he can only still accept the legal trial.
No one knows my sad mood at this moment.
At this moment, Secretary Chen and I have spoken to each other. I believe one thing: In fact, he feels very uncomfortable inside. But he can only do this. Not only for the work in Shangjiang City, but also for himself. He
It’s also very frustrating.
You can never use selfishness to evaluate his behavior. The things here are too complicated and I can't explain them clearly.
Later, I finally spoke, "Secretary Chen, let's go back and rest early."
He nodded, "Okay. Let's go to bed early."
I went to pay the bill. Then we left separately.
