Having been in the officialdom for many years, Yu Fan is naturally very clear about the process. The so-called sedan chair carries people. Since Tian Jiaqiang made such a gesture of goodwill to him, Yu Fan also smiled and said: "Thank you Comrade Jiaqiang. Concern. Thank you to the town for caring for the old man. The old man has passed away. Now we just want to take care of the old man's funeral."
This sentence is actually very knowledgeable. He mentioned Tian Jiaqiang alone, but did not mention the town committee or Yu Shigang himself. This made Yu Shigang feel very uncomfortable. He reluctantly smiled and said: " Secretary Yu, I don’t know if the old man needs help from the town for his funeral." Yu Fan glanced at him and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Secretary Yu. We can handle these things. Don't bother organizing it."
Things in officialdom are sometimes very subtle. Sometimes just a title can explain a lot of problems. Things that are near or far are often hazy but clear at a glance. It is difficult for people who are not in officialdom to understand them. Yu Fan said this. Yu Shigang also felt that it was meaningless to stay here anymore. He coughed twice and laughed: "There is still a meeting to be held in the town. Then I won't disturb you anymore." After saying that, he shook hands lightly, turned around and got into the car.
On the way, Yu Shigang's face was very ugly. He was gloomy all the way. Tian Jiaqiang's performance just now is actually very revealing. He was completely receptive to the leader. In addition, Secretary Du of the Municipal Committee personally called to inquire. .It seems that this Yu family really has a remarkable person.
He raised his head, looked at his driver, and asked: "Xiao Wang, do you know who this Yu Fan is?" A town committee secretary does not have a permanent secretary. Although the town's party and government office When something happens, someone will be sent. But that is just a general form. They are not the secretary's confidants. At this time, the role of the driver is highlighted. After all, there are generally not many official cars in the town, but the secretary's car will. Forming a dedicated form, the driver naturally becomes a confidant.
Xiao Wang is a local. Although he has some understanding of Yu Fan's affairs, he is not very clear. After all, Yu Fan has not stayed in the town for a long time. Moreover, he was transferred and promoted too quickly. In addition, Yu Fan's father feels that The background of his in-laws is so great that it makes his son seem like a bride-in-law and a bit shameless. So he rarely mentions it in front of others. This also makes the Yu family look very low-key in the town.
"Secretary Yu. I don't know much about the Yu family. But I heard that Yu Fan was very prosperous when he got married. Leaders from the province and city showed up. The cars lined up the whole street." Xiao Wang Just as he was talking enthusiastically, he peeked in the reflector and saw that Yu Shigang's expression was very bad. He quickly said: "Actually, I heard all this. I have never seen the real situation. It may not be exaggerated. must."
Yu Shigang frowned and sighed. It seemed that the background of the Yu family was really great. When he saw Yu Fan just now, he also looked at him as young, so he despised him a little. Unexpectedly After a few words, he could feel the pressure of Yu Fan's long-standing position. Even when he went to the city to meet the leader, he did not feel the pressure when meeting Yu Fan. When he thought of this, Yu Shigang I couldn't help but hate Tian Jiaqiang. This man named Tian obviously knew something, but he didn't reveal anything to himself. It seemed that he had planned it in advance.
Yu Shigang left, but Tian Jiaqiang stayed. On the contrary, when Yu Shigang's car left, he glanced at it with a smile. This time he had the upper hand. Yu Fan on the side was confused about what was going on here. Naturally, it belongs to Menqing. But he didn't care about it. He sighed and said: "Mayor Tian, it's not early now. I won't keep you any longer. Thank you again for taking time out of your busy schedule to come. Come on." Yu Fan is no longer the timid temporary worker in the town. In his official career for so many years, he has seen too many leaders. As a mayor, he does not feel that he should spend a lot of time socializing.
Tian Jiaqiang did not force it. Instead, he held Yu Fan's extended hand tightly with both hands. He said with a serious face: "Secretary Yu, I know that the old man just passed away. You are very busy now. I won't disturb you anymore. Don't worry. The town is concerned about the death of the old man. We will definitely do more work." Yu Fan expressed his gratitude with a smile. Before leaving, Tian Jiaqiang not only went to the mourning hall to offer incense, but also specially talked to Yu Fan. His father shook hands with several uncles. Yu Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head. This Tian Jiaqiang can be considered a thoughtful person.
During the night vigil, all close relatives gathered together. Yu Fan was naturally among them. However, everyone looked at Yu Fan with strange eyes. This made Yu Fan not very used to it. It took a long time. Second Uncle Then he looked at Yu Fan and said, "Xiao Fan, what level are you at now?" As soon as he said this, many people looked at Yu Fan.
Yu Fan didn't know how to answer for a while. After thinking for a long time, he said: "I am currently studying in the Party School. It just finished not long ago. But the file is hung in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath. .Even Yu Fan’s father doesn’t know that his son is now affiliated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In fact, what level it is. Everyone really doesn’t understand. But everyone in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs knows it. Thinking that Yu Fan is now a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs .Everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.
Yu Fan's third uncle watched Yu Fan grow up. Now he looks at Yu Fan with complicated eyes. "Xiao Fan has made his mark. Our old Yu family can be regarded as a talented person. It's a pity that your grandma can't see it anymore." Yu Fan felt sad after hearing this. He couldn't help but sigh. Then the atmosphere became quieter. Yu Fan had no choice but to go out and smoke a cigarette. Only then did some sounds come from the room one after another. This made Yu Fan feel sad for a moment. Very unpleasant.
A man was sitting outside smoking. There were lights flashing in the distance. When he got closer, he saw Lin Ning walking over. Originally, according to custom, Lin Ning also had to keep vigil. However, Yu Fan's father was worried that Lin Ning would not She was used to it. In addition, she had children around her, so she asked Yu Fan's second aunt to take her home to rest early.
"Why are you here? Is the child asleep?" Yu Fan took two steps to meet her. He held her hand worriedly and asked. Lin Ning also looked a little tired. At this moment, she nodded very gently and said: "My child Already asleep. I was a little worried about you, so I came over to take a look." He glanced into the room and asked strangely: "Why aren't you in there?"
Yu Fan laughed bitterly when he heard this. He glanced at her and said, "The bigger the official position, the more things will be lost." Lin Ning was stunned at first, but then she understood. "Officials have official prestige. This is what my grandfather said back then. If a person in power stays in a leadership position for a long time, he will naturally form a certain temperament and habit. This is inevitable. Sometimes, official prestige is A leader who is indispensable for reaching a position. Although everyone will like a leader who has no airs, no one will move closer to you because you are not strong enough."
In fact, Yu Fan understood what Lin Ning said. Just letting Lin Ning say this made him feel much better. He sighed and said: "It seems that there are gains and losses. Lin Ning smiled slightly and leaned on his shoulder. "You will get used to it as time goes by. This is a normal thing."
In fact, it should be because of a grassroots. This is a normal thing. Yu Fan couldn't help but secretly think so. If it were those yamen, this kind of trouble would definitely not exist. Hearing Lin Ning's even breathing, Yu Fan turned his head and looked After a while, Lin Ning had already fallen asleep. She couldn't help but smile and gently moved her body to make her sleep more comfortable. Then she put the coat on her side and hugged her gently.
Lin Ning was indeed sleepy and fell asleep. But when Yu Fan moved her gently just now, she was already awake. But she enjoyed this feeling very much. Until Yu Fan finished everything and hugged her gently again. She just fell asleep again. The smile on her face seemed even sweeter. It seemed that all the grievances in her heart were gone at this moment.
In rural areas, funerals usually last three days. The day the old man passed away is counted as one day. The guests are invited to dinner on the second day. The funeral is held early in the morning on the third day. So on the second day, many relatives of the Yu family I rushed over. The whole scene seemed extremely lively. There were people everywhere inside and outside the house.
Yu Fan has been very busy since early in the morning. The mayor of the town, Tian Jiaqiang, rushed over at dawn and brought a large number of people. He said that he wanted to worship the old man on behalf of the town. After that, he started to be busy. Take care of the guests. No matter who comes, he smiles and hands out cigarettes. People who didn't know he was the mayor thought he was the master of ceremonies invited by the Yu family.
Seeing this situation, Yu Fan's father looked at Yu Fan with some worry and said: "Xiao Fan, don't you think this is going to be cool? He is the mayor of our town. If this spreads, it will be terrible to you. It has an impact." Yu Fan thought for a while, looked at his father and said, "Dad, it's okay. If he wants to help, just let him help. Nothing will happen." After hearing what Yu Fan said, his father felt relieved. .However, Yu Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He really admired Tian Jiaqiang's persistence.
Slowly, more and more people came. Various cars parked in front of Yu's house one by one. The first one to arrive was Du Chengze. Now Du Chengze is the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Xinyang City. Originally, he Life in Xinyang City has never been easy. When Yu Fan went to visit him last time, he really wanted to change places. Yu Fan always kept Du Chengze's affairs in mind. Please leave it to Liu Bing After that, Liu Bing also agreed to help. The transfer was almost done. Unexpectedly, Xinyang City itself had a problem. As a result, Du Chengze, who was originally going to be transferred, became the municipal party committee with Liu Bing's great help. Secretary. With Liu Bing's relationship, he is now very proud.
Yu Fan naturally attached great importance to the old leader who had helped him a lot in the past. When he saw Du Chengze's car stopped, he quickly came forward to greet him. Tian Jiaqiang naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity. He quickly raised his eyes The shiny one followed and walked over.
