Liu Siming lowered his head and glanced at Shen Tong. He put his hands on Shen Tong's shoulders, squeezed them hard, and said solemnly: "Shen Tong, think about everything. It's not a big deal. If it's more than your current situation, I deeply understand it." I have some experience. When I was sent to Shihe Town, I also went through a period of confusion. I felt that my future was so bleak and drifting away. Later, I learned to be strong and survive. I want to grow up faster. , it requires some hardships, and this kind of hardships will become a valuable asset for your future growth."
Shen Tong remained silent, and couldn't help but sneer, thinking: "I have been sent to this hellish place, when will I be able to get out? It seems very slim now. What is a paradise, what is isolation from the world, are all illusory ideals. Realm, as long as human beings survive, they want to move to a higher level, but now it is better, they have trapped themselves in a cage in disguise."
When Liu Siming saw that Shen Tong was silent, he also sat down, took out his cigarette, lit it for Shen Tong, and continued: "I mentioned your matter to Secretary Cai, but he insisted on letting you stay in the village. You and him What’s the holiday?”
Shen Tong looked at Liu Siming. He originally wanted to pour out all the words he had been holding in his stomach for a long time, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it, so he shook his head.
Liu Siming had already seen that Shen Tong had something on his mind, but Shen Tong didn't say anything, so he tried to make things difficult for others, so he comforted him: "Shen Tong, although we don't get along for a long time, I really treat you as a brother. Let's go to the provincial capital together to maintain stability. Let's go together." In attracting investment and so on, you have performed so well every time. In my opinion, your future is bright. In front of you, you are just a shoal. Once you have the opportunity, you will spread your wings and soar into the sky. You see, Isn't that eagle soaring in the clouds and spreading its wings in the distant sky your shadow? Although it hovers among the mountain peaks, once it leaps into the air, it will be a flat plain."
Shen Tong followed Liu Siming's thoughts and looked at the eagle hovering in the sky. The flying posture was so graceful, and it looked even more dazzling against the blue sky and white clouds. Yes, what I need in life is opportunities. If I choose to stay in the provincial capital, Maybe the future will be brighter. But I have chosen the career path, where opportunities and risks coexist. As long as I wait for the opportunity, I will definitely be able to achieve a great career. Thinking of this, Shen Tong's face tensed for a long time, and a smile appeared.
Seeing that Shen Tong's mood had improved, Liu Siming sighed, picked up a stone, and threw it into the distance. He inadvertently said his purpose of coming today, "Shen Tong, I have to leave."
Hearing that Liu Siming was leaving, Shen Tong suddenly raised his head, looked at Liu Siming in surprise, and said, "You want to leave? Where are you going?"
Liu Siming did not look at Shen Tong and said to himself: "My old leader found a connection for me and transferred me to the Second Secretary Section of Longnan Municipal Government. The specific position is tentatively determined."
Liu Siming's words stimulated Shen Tong, and the mood that had just eased suddenly fell to the bottom again. In Shihe Town, Liu Siming was the only one who could be considered a friend, or someone who could communicate intimately. With Liu Siming leaving, Shen Tong There was no one left to speak. Thinking of this, Shen Tong suddenly felt the urge to cry.
Liu Siming turned around, smiled slightly, patted Shen Tong on the shoulder again, and said: "When I leave, no one will take care of you. You have to take care of yourself. But I don't want to see what's happening in front of you." Look, you have to cheer up, you are an upright man and you cannot give up on yourself because of a momentary frustration. If this is the case, I, Liu Siming, will despise you." Liu Siming wanted to use provocation to stimulate Shen Tong, hoping that he would come out of the shadows quickly. Come out.
Shen Tong knew that Liu Siming cared about him. These days, only Liu Siming really cared about his life and emotions. Other cadres also came here, but they only cared about the progress of the renovation of dilapidated old houses in Qiaobei Village, but they never enlightened him like Liu Siming. , encourage yourself. Shen Tong looked at Liu Siming's determined eyes, and he nodded heavily.
After a long time, Liu Siming suddenly asked: "Shen Tong, I have never asked you about your relationship with Xu Xia, but I can see that your relationship is unusual, so why don't you go find her and ask her to help?" Can you get out of this predicament?"
After returning from the last investment promotion, Shen Tong and Xu Xia had a phone call to inquire about the investment. Xu Xia promised to help Shen Tong, but then she did not receive a call from Xu Xia again. When Liu Siming mentioned Xu Xia, Shen Tong said helplessly: "Mayor Liu, to be honest with you, Xu Xia was my college sweetheart, and now she already has a boyfriend, the same Zheng Weijun we had dinner with last time. She now has a new life. , if I bother her again, is there something wrong? Besides, if others know that I relied on a woman to climb up, then where is my face? Rather than asking for help from others, it is better to ask for myself. Since I have chosen this path , I have to rely on my own ability to go step by step. Although the road ahead is tortuous, the results obtained are endless aftertaste."
In fact, Liu Siming had already guessed their relationship, but Shen Tong didn't say it, so it was not convenient for him to point it out. Hearing that Shen Tong was so opinionated, Liu Siming didn't want to continue discussing this topic. He said: "Shen Tong, you I'm really happy for you that you can think like this. Don't worry, I will definitely try my best to help you when I get to the city. However, you have to endure this hurdle for me, do you hear me?"
Hearing Liu Siming's words, Shen Tong felt warm in his heart. He looked at Liu Siming gratefully and said, "Mayor Liu, don't worry, I, Shen Tong, am not a coward. I have learned a lot from adversity. I will definitely be in despair." Breakthrough, you won’t be disappointed.”
"If you think so, I feel relieved." Liu Siming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Shen Tong thought about it.
"When are you leaving? I'll see you off." Shen Tong asked.
"I plan to leave tomorrow. I will go home first and report for duty next week. No need to see me off, I will take the initiative to contact you in the future." Liu Siming didn't want Shen Tong to see him off, lest it make him emotional and sad later.
After Liu Siming left, Shen Tong sat alone on the field ridge, thinking about Lan Yue, his family, and his own future...
After Liu Siming left, Shen Tong severed ties with the town government. No one informed him of the meeting, and no one said anything when something happened. It was as if he didn't exist in Shihe Town. Li Maoshan went to the town for a meeting again today. Shen Tong looked at Li Maoshan. Maoshan's back looks very depressed.
Thinking of being marginalized, Shen Tong felt helpless and aggrieved. Cai Jiaquan's move was quite damaging. He regarded his future as child's play because of his past mistakes. This person was narrow-minded and even more ruthless than Ma Guotao.
