Her words suddenly shook my heart. [`Novel`] Her soft, faint voice made my heart tremble. I could feel the pain in her heart.
, struggling, and these are all caused by me.
I stopped talking, but my heart became warmer. I was thinking that as long as she could feel my sincerity towards her, everything would be enough.
I went to look at the river surface, looking at the river surface at night.
In the night, the river flowed quietly toward the end of the sky, gradually blending into the darkness beside it. In an instant, the moon rose with the tide, and the world suddenly became bright. The bright moon and the clear water were natural.
The beauty is so hazy, so beautiful that it makes people feel distressed. When you are in it, a trace of melancholy permeates your whole body unconsciously, and you can't extricate yourself, but you don't want to extricate yourself.[
The moon gently covered the river with silver gauze, and the river became happy and jumped forward showing off like a child. Water and the moon will always be their respective darlings. With the moon, the water is more lively; with the water, the moon is more lively.
Beautiful. The river and sky are the same color, exceptionally bright and clean.
The graceful river skirted the small pond in the water. Under the silver moonlight, it was quiet and full of vitality. The flowers and plants seemed to have fallen asleep, and I seemed to hear their whispers and low laughter in the air.
The snow-like beauty in the distance is a sea of flowers, right? Because the air is full of fragrance. They can't tell what kind of flowers they are. The moon has given them a veil. But no matter what, the flowers are beautiful.
, the hazy flowers are even more beautiful. The flowing water carries the falling flowers, and there is a tenderness besides the sadness. The snow-like flower forest, the gentle flowing water, the match like lovers. The moon makes the world become delicate, and also makes the world hazy. On the riverside
The white and soft beach is as imaginary as a dream, yet incredibly real.
This is winter in our Jiangnan, so there are still flowers blooming.
This month, this flower, this water, constitute this winter night.
The sky and the earth are silent, and there is a special majesty in the silence. They pamper the moon, the river, the flowers, and the night like a father.
The river and the moon in front of me are the gifts given to me by eternity. I understand that my life will be short and eternal, just like the passing river.
I shook my head, trying to break away from my thoughts, but fell into a deeper melancholy. Because she was beside me, but she didn't belong to me.
I felt a chill, and my fingers were a little cold and painful. But I still sat there. I felt that the physical pain could bring some relief to the pain in my heart.
Suddenly I felt her standing up next to me, "Let's go back. Now that I'm in a much better mood, I can't sit down anymore, lest you catch a cold and affect your work tomorrow, and I can't bear the responsibility."
Her words conveyed a clearer message to me: the relationship between me and her could never change. If she really wanted to get along with me, she would never let me put my clothes on her body.
, but should let me hold her.
I also stood up, and suddenly I felt my feet were numb, so I stamped my feet on the ground a few times. She asked me in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "My feet are numb."
She said to me softly: "I'm sorry...thank you."
I felt even more desolate in my heart, "It's nothing. Let's go back."
On the way back, we didn't say another word. In fact, my heart became as calm as water, because I already knew this was the result. It's just that today my heart went from excitement to sadness all over again.
.Maybe her mood is a little complicated at the moment, but that has nothing to do with me. I know that in her heart now, she pretends to be more apologetic from Fang Qiang.
This is also cause and effect, retribution. If I had known this, I shouldn't have indulged myself so much before. However, everything has happened and it can never be undone.
But I am still very grateful to her, because I once had her. Although the time I had her was so short, it was enough to make me happy and miss her for a lifetime.
When I got in the car, I looked at the time and found that it was close to midnight. In other words, we spent this New Year's Eve in the car, and we traveled from the old year to the new year in the car.
[
This year, we are destined to live such a dull and tangled life.
She called her while she was on the road and learned that the old lady had gone home. So I drove directly to the downstairs of her house.
When she stopped the car, she glanced at me and said, "Feng Xiao, thank you. I wish you a happy Spring Festival. I'm going back."
Her meaning was very clear, that is, she told me not to get out of the car. I smiled at her and said, "I wish you happiness too. Good night."
She jumped out of the car and quickly disappeared into the corridor. My heart suddenly felt empty, and there was a ringing in my ears. I shook my head and smiled bitterly, and immediately turned the car around.
At this moment, I feel lonely and sad in my heart, but only I can feel it.
The roads at this time were already empty. On days like this, maybe only lonely people like me would drive around. The roar of cars stirred up the surrounding air, making a harsh sound. The city was still lit with lights.
Brilliant, the lights inside the tall buildings are bright, and I can imagine that every family there is full of laughter.
I speeded up because I suddenly thought of my mother who was waiting for me at home. Maybe my child had already fallen asleep.
I suddenly realized my unfilial piety. On such a day, I still ran outside, leaving my mother and children to spend the New Year's Eve alone at home.
When I got home, I saw my mother still sitting on the sofa watching TV, with the child asleep in her arms. I suddenly felt ashamed. I went to my mother and said, "Mom, I'm back. I'm sorry for asking you to
Alone at home..."
I found that my voice was choked with sobs. My mother looked at me, her eyes full of kindness, "Are you not drunk?"
I shook my head, "I didn't drink much."
The mother sighed and said, "Drink less. Think about your dad. He ended up with that disease because of his drinking. Why didn't you learn your lesson?"
I felt even more uncomfortable, "Mom, I know."
My mother looked at me, "You and Tong Yao, you..."
I shook my head and said, "She has a boyfriend. She and I are just ordinary friends."
My mother said: "Since it's impossible for you, then don't stick with others. You are already the mayor, why don't you understand such a clear truth?"
I nodded, "Yes. I understand. Mom, you should go and rest early. I have to go back to work tomorrow. I haven't been able to come back in the past few days. The city has arranged work. I have to visit laid-off workers and invite foreign companies.
I have no choice but to have dinner with the person in charge. You and your children are at home, and I feel very sorry for you to celebrate the New Year like this."
My mother said to me softly: "I know you are busy. It is shown on TV. The leaders of the central and provincial governments do not spend the New Year at home every year. They have to visit the people below. You are the mayor now, I know
You must do the same. You don't have to worry about us. Tomorrow I will take the child to see his grandfather and mother, and the day after tomorrow we will go back to our hometown to visit relatives. You can do your business and leave us alone."
I felt even more sorry in my heart, "Mom, how inconvenient is it for you to go back to your hometown alone with your child? When I am free, I can take the time to go back with you. Is that okay?"
The mother shook her head and said: "You go about your business. Didn't I take you to the countryside when you were young? Now I am tired of staying in this provincial capital all day long, so I want to take my child to my hometown.
It’s okay. It’s just a ride anyway.”
I said: "Let me ask the driver to take you back. It will be more convenient that way."[
Mother said: "No need, your driver is also a member of the country, what does it mean if he sends us back? That will have a bad impact on you. It's okay, just go about your business, I'll come back in about a week."
I knew that my mother was actually quite stubborn, so I didn’t say anything more. I asked her, “Mom, do you need money? If you go back to your hometown, you must buy some things for your relatives.
If you are a child, you should also give some lucky money, right?"
The mother smiled and said: "I am rich. There is still so much money on the card you gave me before. You know that I don't spend much money. My retirement salary is almost enough for my family's life. The nanny's salary is almost enough."
You're the one giving me the money. I still have so much money on my card, so don't worry about it. I'll take some out when I get back to the county. It's not safe to carry this cash with me."
I nodded, "Then you must pay attention to safety. It would be great if the nanny is here. Let her accompany you."
The mother smiled and said, "I have to go home to celebrate the New Year. It's okay. It won't be too tiring for me to take care of the child by myself. The child is already so old and very obedient, so it'll be okay."
I said: "Okay then."
Immediately, I picked up the child from my mother's arms and went to his room. The child slept deeply and never woke up. I put the child on the bed, I looked at him and found that he looked like Chen Yuan, and I suddenly felt
There was a burst of pain. I touched the child's head, sighed, turned off the light and went out.
My mother is no longer in the living room. It is obvious that she has been waiting for me to come home, so that she can be together as a family on the first day of the new year.
I fell asleep without taking a shower. I felt so tired.
When I woke up early the next morning, I immediately felt sore all over my body and my vest felt cool. Obviously, this was the result of catching a cold last night.
I struggled to get up and immediately took a hot bath. I adjusted the water temperature to a bit high and kept washing until my body was sweating. This is a very effective way to quickly get better from a cold.
For diseases like colds, you can also treat them through exercise, but you must follow the "neck rule." If cold symptoms appear above the neck, such as nasal congestion, itchy throat, and headache, you can do moderate jogging, brisk walking, or strength training.
training; and once fever, chest tightness, and limb weakness occur, you should stop exercising and take a good rest. What needs to be reminded is: if you have a headache accompanied by body chills and soreness, it may be an early symptom of a fever, and you should stop exercising at this time. At the same time,
Elderly people suffering from various chronic diseases should not use exercise to treat colds.
For young people in good physical condition, taking a hot bath and washing off the sweat is also a good idea. However, the "neck rule" must still be followed.
After taking a shower, I felt that the pain all over my body was still there, so I went to find a pack of Jiuwei Qianghuo Pills and took it. For symptoms of body pain, this Chinese patent medicine is particularly effective.
My mother had made breakfast, but the child hadn't gotten up yet. I asked my mother when she would go to the cemetery, and she said she would go this afternoon. I said to her, "I should have gone, so you'd better go after you come back from your hometown."
Go ahead."
The mother shook her head and said, "I'll just take the kids there, and you can go about your business. You can go at any time when you're free from now on."
Now, I really feel how great it would be if I had a wife now, so that she could accompany her mother and children. But... alas!
I said to my mother: "Then hire a taxi. Don't save money. It's convenient and we can afford it."
The mother shook her head and said, "It's not necessary. There is a bus going there. It's very convenient."
I know that people of my mother's generation are very frugal, and this concept is difficult to change, so I won't say much.
When I went out, Xiao Sui had already parked the car and was waiting for me. I turned around and took a look at the door of my house, and suddenly felt a sense of reluctance and worry in my heart. But I knew that I really had no other choice now, so
So I had to toughen my heart and get in the car.
"Let's go to Shangjiang." I told Xiao Sui. At this time, I suddenly remembered something, "Xiao Sui, is your brother resting at home today?"
He answered me: "Yes. I heard from him that Director Shang doesn't need a car during the Spring Festival."
I immediately said to him: "Well, let's see if I can trouble him to take my mother to the cemetery today. I'll just drive my own car."
He said: "What's the matter? I'll call him right away. Mayor Feng, you were so kind to him in the past, so it's his duty to do something like this."
He immediately called his brother, and then said to me: "He said he would drive a car licensed by the province, but the car was empty anyway. You are an old leader there, so there is nothing wrong with using the car, right?"
I shook my head and said, "Just use my car, this is not good."
Immediately I returned home and said to my mother: "My driver will come and drive my car to take you to the cemetery in a while. This will make me feel at ease."
The mother said: "You kid, why are you bothering others when you are celebrating the New Year?"
I said: "He is my former driver and the brother of my current driver. It doesn't matter. We have agreed that he will come over in the afternoon. I left the car keys at home."
Mother sighed and said, "Okay. So that you don't have to worry about us when you go to work."
This made me feel a little more comfortable.
According to the division of labor, during the day today I went to visit the workers who are still working on the front line on behalf of the municipal party committee and government, and Secretary Rong went to visit the police, armed police officers and soldiers.
In fact, this was a condolence show, and people from the city TV station were following the whole process.
They talked about the same thing everywhere I went, but what interested me the most was paying careful attention to the progress of the project. Halfway through, I received a call from the director of the Veteran Bureau, and he asked me to attend the retirement event that was about to take place.
The opening ceremony of the cadres football match.
He said to me on the phone: "Mayor Feng, those retired comrades very much hope that you can participate in their event. They also want to chat with you and make some suggestions on the work of the government. There is no way, I am also influenced by
They entrusted it."
I looked at the time, and I was already tempted, because I thought this was a rare opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with an old comrade. So I asked him where he was.
He told me that it was right next to the square in the city center.
I quickly finished my condolences to the workers on the project in front of me, and then immediately rushed to the place he told me.
When I got there, the director of the veteran cadres bureau greeted me warmly, and some retired veteran cadres in sportswear also greeted me warmly. It was obvious that they were very happy to have my arrival.
The place in front of me was an open space without hardening. This was the first time I heard about the sport of croquet, so I asked about the project.
A retired comrade told me that croquet is an outdoor ball game played on flat ground or lawn, using a mallet to hit the ball through an iron gate. It is also called croquet. Croquet takes up less space and saves money.
It is very safe, the technology is simple, the game time is short, and the amount of exercise is not large. It is suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to do physical exercises.
The director of the old bureau asked me to kick off the ball, which completed the opening ceremony. I looked at the situation on the field and still didn't understand how to play this sport.
The old comrade who just introduced me to this sport gave me a demonstration: turn your back to the wicket, spread your legs, and then use a mallet to knock the ball into the wicket. He also briefly told me
Action essentials.
I thought it was quite fun, so I immediately went there to kick off the ball. The people from the TV station filmed me with a camera at close range. I followed the action instructions that the old comrade just described and gently hit the ball with a mallet.
, the ball went straight towards the door, and passed through the middle of the door.
The people around applauded enthusiastically.
I was thinking: This sport does not seem to have much technical content, and the amount of exercise is not large. It seems that it is really only suitable for the elderly.
Their competition officially started, but I didn't have much interest in this activity, and immediately started chatting with some old comrades.
They were very polite to me, and there was a kind of flattery in their politeness. I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart. I knew very well that what they respected was actually my position. The respect for officials is something that many of us have in our hearts.
Things. Including myself, for example, when I am in front of Secretary Fang, I can't help but show a kind of awe for him in my heart. In fact, I also know in my heart that my kind of awe is more
It's for his job.
Now I understand that this veteran bureau chief completely deceived me, because it is impossible for these veteran comrades to take the initiative to give me any opinions. However, this veteran bureau chief understands my inner thoughts relatively well.
, he knows what I need most.
I said to them: "I feel very honored to be able to participate in this activity of your old comrades today. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me at any time. And I very much hope to hear more from you old comrades.
Regarding your opinions on our work. You have worked in Shangjiang City all your life and have made important contributions to the construction and development of our Shangjiang City, and you can see more clearly the problems we currently have.
I think we have one purpose that is completely consistent, that is, we all hope to build our Shangjiang City better. Therefore, I hope to hear your opinions on our work, which will be beneficial to our next step.
Please improve the work. Please.”
Having said this, I bowed my hands to them.
Perhaps my sincerity impressed them, and they immediately talked to me about some issues in Shangjiang City.
An old comrade said to me: "Mayor Feng, we have so many laid-off workers in Shangjiang City, what will they do with their lives in the future? The subsistence allowance alone cannot solve the problem. Today's prices are getting higher and higher.
As far as I know, there are some laid-off workers who go there to pick up some free vegetables when the stalls are being closed, and it is difficult for them to eat one meal of meat a month."
I was a little surprised, "Didn't they give them a buyout of seniority wages when they were laid off? It shouldn't be that difficult, right?"
They answered me: "They have all used it to raise funds. Now that the fund-raising company cannot pay the money for a while, they have not withdrawn."
I suddenly remembered this matter, and secretly felt that something was not quite right about it. But now I have not investigated the situation of that company, so it is not convenient for me to give a clear answer. I said
: "I will immediately arrange for people to investigate this matter. Regarding our laid-off workers, the municipal party committee and the municipal government have made some plans. On the one hand, we must encourage laid-off workers to start their own businesses. On the other hand, we will definitely take measures to increase employment.
In addition, we are also planning to open a night market after the Spring Festival. The employees of the night market can only be laid-off workers and are completely tax-free."
At this time, an old comrade said: "Wouldn't it be better if we started this matter during the Spring Festival? Everyone has nothing to do during the Spring Festival, so there will definitely be a lot of people visiting the night market."
I explained: "You are right. But we also have our own difficulties. On the one hand, the demolition work has not been completed where we plan to open the night market. On the other hand, we citizens of Shangjiang City are not used to going there during the Spring Festival."
Eat outside, and laid-off workers mostly sell cheap goods. Not many people go to buy such things during the Spring Festival, right? During the Spring Festival, everyone is used to eating at their own and friends’ homes, and maybe people go to night markets to eat.
Not a lot. The opening time of this night market is also very important, we can’t let them lose confidence from the beginning. Don’t you think so?”
The old comrade nodded and said: "It seems that Mayor Feng has thought much more carefully than we have."
At this time, another old comrade said to me: "Mayor Feng, our people in Shangjiang City originally had low incomes, but now so many houses have been demolished to build commercial housing, although the state has provided the same for the demolished houses as new houses."
Compensation for area, but the new houses built by developers are all large in area, so many years of savings will be spent all at once, and many people will owe a large amount of debt. I don’t know if you think about it.
Have you experienced everyone's feelings? Some people may have gone too far: This is simply taking away the people's wealth. But it does reflect part of the reality."
I smiled bitterly in my heart: This is indeed what the developer did deliberately. Just imagine: if half of the new houses built are used to repay the original area that was demolished, how much money will the developer make? Moreover, if the common people are
The purpose of squeezing out money is to stimulate domestic demand in a place, which in the long run is also for the development of a local economy. This is also a good thing for the government. But such words cannot be said, because
Most ordinary people cannot understand this knowledge about macroeconomics, and the more such questions are explained, the more likely they are to cause misunderstandings.
I replied: "You can take a look at the situation in other counties and cities around our provincial capital. They developed earlier than us, and now most of the citizens in those places have lived in new houses, and their lives have also been greatly improved.
Big improvement. Everyone knows the situation in Shangjiang City. Poverty is our current situation, so we must change this situation. Maybe our people will suffer certain losses in the process of change, but from now on
In the long run, everyone's wealth will definitely increase. For example, a citizen of ours used to have a private house of fifty square meters. After the current situation was demolished, the new house built gave him the fifty square meters, and then he used his own money for many years.
He bought the extra area of a house with his savings. On the surface, it seems that he no longer has a private house before, and now he doesn’t even have a deposit, but have you ever thought about it? Has the total value of his house increased? Recently we have
The price of houses in Shangjiang City has increased a lot, right? If you calculate it this way, hasn't his deposit increased in value several times? In the final analysis, it is the wealth of our citizens that has increased, is this a fact?"
Everyone said that my analysis was very reasonable.
In fact, I can't help but feel ashamed in my heart, because what I just said is indeed correct, but there is one thing that many people don't pay attention to: their property has indeed increased in value, but that is their life necessity. If a person
If a family does not have excess real estate, then no matter how valuable the house is, it is just a house. They cannot sell it to rent a house or sell it to live in the countryside. In other words, the increased value of the property is ultimately just a house.
A piece of "real estate" cannot really be converted into usable wealth.
Of course, this is an exception for those who need a bank loan to start a business. However, I believe one thing: there are only a few people who really have the courage to take out a mortgage loan on their own property and then start their own business.
Regarding this issue, our government functions in this way. After all, we have not harmed the interests of most citizens. Moreover, this is also a stage that local economic development must pass through.
I continued: "The ultimate goal of our large-scale transformation and reconstruction of the city is for the economic development of our Shangjiang City. As our economy develops, there will be more foreign investors, and we will create more jobs for our laid-off workers."
Channels will also increase as a result, which is a virtuous cycle. In the future, when our city is built, many people will definitely come to us for tourism and consumption, and our various industries will
It will inevitably flourish. Therefore, the ultimate goal of what we do is to pursue such a virtuous cycle. As you may have seen, our government is completely sparing no expense in creating our investment environment. We are transforming Binjiang Road. In the future,
It will become a beautiful park, and our city center will become a unique ancient cultural street in the future, which will also be the business card of our city. In addition, we will also renovate the river that runs through the city.
, its two sides will also become a place for citizens to relax and entertain. In the future, when everyone lives in such a city, the happiness index will also increase a lot. This is also benefiting our future generations. So, even if we are now
It’s worth paying some price. Do you think so?”
They were all intoxicated by the wonderful prospects I described, and couldn't help but applaud.
But then I suddenly realized that I couldn't let them put forward more opinions in this way. And I also found that I was actually very afraid of them asking sharp questions. If that was really the case.
If I did, I would probably be unable to step down because of this. It is precisely because of this that I kept beautifying myself and defending the opinions they raised.
Therefore, I now realize that my so-called desire to hear their real opinions is really an unrealistic fantasy.
So, I immediately chose to leave.
I took the person in charge of the department below to the square. I saw that there were many businesses doing activities here, and the welfare lottery draw was also in full swing.
Several rows of sun sheds were set up in the center of the square, and they were full of people selling lottery tickets. Of course, there were also many people who went there to buy lottery tickets.
On the rostrum in front, the host's encouraging words were played. They were telling everyone that there were many big prizes in this batch of lottery tickets. The first prize was a car worth hundreds of thousands, and the second prize was a car worth hundreds of thousands.
Fei’s electrical appliances and so on. Those prizes are placed under the podium, which is really eye-catching.
The people following me encouraged me to buy lottery tickets. When I saw the huge crowds of people here, I immediately became interested, and I was also very happy: it seems that the method we adopted is very good, at least it can save the citizens from the lottery.
It was tuned at home.
The lottery tickets cost two yuan each. I bought five of them for ten yuan, but I didn't win any prizes. Secretary Xiao Xu and the driver also bought ten yuan tickets. Their luck was better than mine, and each of them won.
I won two small prizes worth two yuan each, so I used the four yuan I won to buy two more lottery tickets. The result was of course one can imagine.
I immediately laughed.
Xiao Sui said: "I have heard a saying that people who buy lottery tickets and win big prizes have descendants burning paper in front of their graves in previous lives, and the paper money burned becomes windfall in this life. It seems that we
In my previous life, I was a lonely ghost, so I couldn't win the prize."
This was the first time I heard such a statement, and I couldn't help laughing.
At this time, the host on the rostrum suddenly announced loudly: "Wow! Today's first big prize happened! Mr. Peng won the first prize, and the prize he got was a car! Among these lottery tickets
There are also two cars! Everyone, hurry up and buy them!"
Everyone was looking towards the rostrum, and saw a fat middle-aged man standing there, with a big red flower on his chest by the staff. This man looked like a worker, and his face was
He smiled honestly and looked at the people below.
Someone next to me said in surprise: "Isn't this Peng Laosan who is laid off? He is so lucky! I will buy another box!"
I almost laughed out loud. This activity organized by the Civil Affairs Bureau was really effective. They understand the characteristics of ordinary people. In fact, many of us have gambling in our hearts, and activities like this are essentially the same as opening a casino.
It's the same thing, except it's legal.
I left here and immediately went to the promotional booths of several shops on the edge of the square. There were discounted electrical appliances and a lot of daily necessities. However, there were not many customers in this place at this time. It seemed that they were all occupied.
I was attracted to the place where I bought lottery tickets.
I asked the staff here, and they told me that the sales volume on this day was still very impressive, equivalent to a normal week's sales.
I am secretly happy because I know that for businesses, as long as they enjoy the benefits of such activities, they will often use weekends and holidays to continue such activities in the future. As for our government, we should guide them to make good use of it.
In this way, the city's business will prosper, which will achieve our goal.
On the other side of the square, what I saw turned out to be a stall of local products. This place displayed the cured meats here, as well as oil, salt, tea, rice and other daily consumer goods. I asked about the situation and they told me that today’s
The sales situation is also very good.
At this time, I suddenly saw a group of people coming here. When I looked carefully, it turned out to be Secretary Rong and the others, and the person next to Secretary Rong was Su Wen.
Secretary Rong seemed to be in a very good mood. She also saw me and came over and said to me: "Mayor Feng, this is a good idea."
I smiled and said, "Yes. In the future, during New Years and holidays, even on weekends, they will spontaneously carry out such activities if we no longer organize them."
She smiled and said: "So, the government's guiding role is very important. We will further explore this experience in the future."
I laughed and said: "Comrades from TV stations and newspapers should publicize this situation, especially in provincial newspapers and provincial TV stations. We should attract people from the provincial capital and other places around the provincial capital.
Come to our Shangjiang City."
Secretary Rong smiled and said: "What a good idea." Then she said to Su Wen beside her: "Director Su, go and implement this matter."
I found that Su Wen looked particularly beautiful today, probably because she was in a good mood. I smiled and praised her and said, "Director Su organized the event well. Secretary Rong, we should praise her well."
Secretary Rong smiled and said: "I have already praised her. She did organize this event very well, which shows that our Director Su is a very capable female cadre."
Su Wen's face turned red with excitement, "I haven't done well yet, and I need to continue to work hard in the future."
Secretary Rong said with a smile: "Of course, you also have shortcomings. For example, you should take the initiative to think of things like this, including the publicity issues mentioned by Mayor Feng just now. This shows the innovation and initiative of your work.
Sex is not enough. You should think more about it from now on."
Su Wen said respectfully: "Thank you, Secretary Rong, for your criticism, and thank you, Mayor Feng, for your reminder. I will definitely work hard in the future."
I smiled at her. Then, I accompanied Secretary Rong to visit all the stalls in the square. Finally, she hesitated outside the place where lottery tickets were sold and then left the place.
I smiled and asked her: "Secretary Rong, don't you go and buy two?"
She shook her head and said, "I was just thinking, what if I get hit by a car?"
I was stunned immediately because I had never thought about such a possibility before. Yes, why didn’t I think of this? What if the ten-dollar lottery ticket I bought earlier had a first prize?
?Can I go to claim the prize? If I go to claim the prize, people may doubt the fairness of the lottery, and there may even be rumors against me. If I don't go to claim the prize, others will also talk about me.
I had ulterior motives. In short, I just bought lottery tickets without carefully considering the possible consequences. If I really won the jackpot, it would only put myself in an embarrassing situation.
As a result, I deeply blamed myself. I found that I was indeed very different from Secretary Rong in many aspects. At least I was not comprehensive enough in considering such issues. In the final analysis, this was still a sign of immaturity.
Secretary Rong glanced at me, with a meaningful smile in her eyes. I knew that she might have guessed that I had bought a lottery ticket.
I gave her an apologetic look.
She smiled at me, then looked at the time, "Let's go, Mayor Feng, we have plans for the evening."
In the evening, we hosted a dinner for the legal persons of foreign companies, which is also an important arrangement during the Spring Festival.
I nodded towards her. At this time, I felt very ashamed, and at the same time I was grateful for her tolerance.
She took her secretary to the parking place outside the square, and I followed her. At this time, I suddenly heard Su Wen calling me, "Mayor Feng..."
I turned around and looked at her. She whispered to me: "Mayor Feng, thank you."
