Lao Xu licked his lips. He didn't know why Ye Shaofeng suddenly called him to such a place and said so many things that he shouldn't have said.
When Ye Shaofeng said this, Lao Xu naturally thought of his ex-wife. At that time, his ex-wife also despised him as useless. He had been working in such a good department for so many years in the Discipline Inspection Commission. In the end, he was just a clerk. Not only did he not A man who doesn't have any hope of promotion, or even any personal connections, is stupid.
Lao Xu couldn't express it. He lowered his head. It could be seen that he was in a complicated mood. The words Ye Shaofeng said undoubtedly stung his deepest scar. Ye Shaofeng's words were tantamount to hurting Lao Xu's scar. Sprinkle salt on top.
However, this salt is not thrown in vain. Ye Shaofeng knows that adding insult to injury will make people hate you even more. If you help a person when he is in decline and will never look up again, then this person will be grateful to you. lifetime.
Seeing that Lao Xu was silent, Ye Shaofeng said: "Comrade Lao Xu, in fact, I have been paying attention to you. You are a talent. You handle things very steadily and should be appreciated by the leader," Ye Shaofeng said.
"You noticed me," Lao Xu was a little flattered. He thought to himself, he was just an unknown clerk, how could he be noticed by others? What Ye Shaofeng said was obviously a bit unreasonable.
Ye Shaofeng said: "Of course I have been paying attention to you, and I also checked some information about you and found out that you divorced your wife five years ago. Now, your wife is with a classmate of yours, and that classmate of yours is from the Cultural Affairs Bureau The deputy director, right?"
"You...you know everything," Lao Xu said in panic. He never expected that Ye Shaofeng would even find out everything about his personal relationship problems.
Ye Shaofeng did not answer his question directly, but continued: "If we want to compare the Cultural Bureau with your Discipline Inspection Commission, of course your Discipline Inspection Commission is much stronger, but compared to this deputy director and you, this little clerk, they are The deputy director has much more power than you and can make more money than you. Therefore, any woman, any ambitious woman, wants to climb high and live a good life, so he followed that Deputy Director, your wife has climbed to a higher place, but you just swallowed it and let your wife and your classmates run away. You don't want to make some achievements, show them, and let your frivolous behavior Does your ex-wife regret it?"
Ye Shaofeng's words deeply stimulated Lao Xu. Lao Xu's body began to tremble inexplicably. He looked at Ye Shaofeng and said: "Director Ye, what do you mean? I am already so old now. I don’t have that heart anymore, and even if I have that heart, I don’t have that opportunity anymore, right? I’m already this old, who will still use me?”
"It's wrong to say what you said. It's spineless. Let me tell you, ginger is still spicier with age. Men, the older they get, the more flavorful they are. By the way, it's been five years. Have you solved your problem?" Ye Shaofeng asked again.
Lao Xu is a relatively honest person. Although he has been in government agencies for so many years, he has never been to a senior level. He does not understand their hidden rules at all. He just answers whatever Ye Shaofeng says and doesn't think much about other places. .
Lao Xu shook his head and said: "No, I have always been alone. I am already in my forties, what else can I do?"
"Comrade Lao Xu, have you ever heard the saying that only by having a family can you build a great career? You used to have a family, but the family was not harmonious and unstable. Therefore, you could not find peace and stability at work, and Now, your family is broken up, and it is even less possible for you to achieve great success in your career. Therefore, if you want to establish a career, you must first solve your personal problems," Ye Shaofeng began to talk about the overall situation.
Lao Xu smiled helplessly, and said: "Director Ye, what do you mean? In fact, I know that if I didn't hold your fingerprint in my hand now, I'm afraid you would have forgotten who I am. Do you want to get close to me and then ask me to fake the questioning?"
Ye Shaofeng also laughed. He laughed at the fact that Old Xu was too straightforward and would say whatever he felt in his heart. Such a person would definitely not achieve anything in the officialdom. This was why he had been just a junior clerk for many years. root cause.
Ye Shaofeng said: "I came to you because I want to make friends with you. I am in the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and don't know anyone. Today is our fate. We are lucky to make friends. I also saw that you have a good eye, so I chatted with you. Yes, if you don't want to and think I'm delaying your work, you can leave now,"
If Ye Shaofeng's words were translated into gangster language, they would be: I only came to have tea with you because I think highly of you. If you have the guts and don't want to talk to me anymore, get out now.
Of course Lao Xu does not have the courage. Ye Shaofeng has said all this. If he leaves now, it will obviously not give Ye Shaofeng face. Lao Xu has been in the government agency for so many years and has always had such an upright character. , he has offended a lot of people, and he really doesn’t want to offend anyone. Now that he is getting older, he has finally begun to learn to be diplomatic.
Lao Xu quickly smiled and said: "Thank you Director Ye for the compliment. However, in today's case, I still have to enforce the law impartially. We all serve the country and the party, right? We can't break the rules. I have principles." ,"
Lao Xu raised this matter to a matter of principle, and Ye Shaofeng was really helpless. At this moment, Ye Shaofeng's phone rang. It was the call from the female staff member at the reception desk who was on business.
"Director Ye, we're here. We're in the lobby on the first floor. How should I find you?" The female staff member said in an ambiguous voice. Obviously, she understood wrongly.
"Just wait, I'll get down right away." After saying that, Ye Shaofeng hung up the phone and said to Lao Xu: "Comrade Lao Xu, please wait for me for a while. I will give you a surprise later." After saying that, Ye Shaofeng hurriedly got off the phone. Upstairs.
In the lobby, a beautiful girl wearing female business attire stood there, her face obviously covered with makeup, and she looked a little bit charming.
Ye Shaofeng waved to him, sat on a sofa on the first floor, and then began to ask: "What is your name and how old are you?"
"Director Ye, my name is Miao Yuanyuan. I am twenty-three years old." Miao Yuanyuan looked a little nervous.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Ye Shaofeng asked again.
"What?" Miao Yuanyuan was a little surprised. She didn't know what Ye Shaofeng wanted to do when he came to him today. Why did he ask personal questions when he came up...
