"Deputy Secretary Liu..." At this time, Qiao Shan's shout came from the bedroom.
Liu Mao immediately left his wife behind and strode into the bedroom.
Qiao Shan handed the phone to Liu Mao: "Deputy County Magistrate Li is waiting for you... If you have anything to say, tell him..."
Liu Mao took the phone and put it to his ear: "Hello...ah...Deputy County Magistrate Li, hello, hello...yes, yes, that's what it is...I...Okay, okay, Deputy County Magistrate Li
I feel relieved after saying this, yes, yes, I will do my best to help Deputy Secretary Qiao...Okay, you are busy." After the call ended, Liu Mao suddenly showed a smile on his face, Li Ming was on the phone just now
He personally promised to help Liu Mao become party secretary, provided that Liu Mao helped Qiao Shan bring down Ma Xiaoyao.
With Li Ming's personal promise, Liu Mao was completely relieved.
"How's it going? Are you relieved now?" Qiao Shan smiled.
Liu Mao returned the phone to Qiao Shan: "Tell me, how do you want me to help you deal with Ma Xiaoyao?"
Qiao Shan took a step forward, leaned his head over, and whispered a few words into Liu Mao's ear.
Liu Mao's face changed drastically: "What...you...you want me to...frame Ma Xiaoyao...this...I...I can't do it..."
"Deputy Secretary Liu, you just promised Deputy County Magistrate Li, why are you regretting it now? Don't you want to be the party secretary of Gaohe Township?" Qiao Shan said with a smile.
"It's not...I..." Liu Mao breathed out: "Deputy Secretary Qiao, I...I...Although I am not a gentleman, I am definitely not a despicable person. You asked me to frame Ma Xiaoyao. This matter
I really can’t do it…”
Qiao Shan frowned: "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. Deputy Secretary Liu, if you want to be the party committee secretary of Gaohe Township, you must give something!"
Liu Mao's face twitched a few times: "Can't we try another way..."
"No, you can only do as I say for now!" Qiao Shan said firmly.
Liu Mao pondered for a moment: "Can you give me a few days and let me think about it carefully?"
"One day, I only give you one day." Qiao Shan said in a deep voice.
"One day?" Liu Mao frowned: "The time is a bit short...can you..."
"I can only give you one day, Deputy Secretary Liu. I hope you can think about it carefully. Sometimes, conscience is really not that important. People will always do things that go against their conscience in this life. I still say the same thing,
Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters." After saying that, Qiao Shan left Liu Mao's home.
After seeing Qiao Shan off, Liu Mao sat alone on a chair, secretly in a daze.
"Old Liu, I have laid out the food. You can go out to eat quickly." Liu Mao's wife walked into the bedroom.
Liu Mao shook his head: "I'm not in the mood to eat now... you can eat it yourself." As he spoke, Liu Mao took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket, lit it and took a puff.
"Old Liu, are you worried about anything?" Liu Mao's wife asked with concern.
"Don't ask, just leave me alone." Liu Mao leaned on the chair and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
Liu Mao's wife frowned: "Old Liu... Even if you are in a bad mood, you can't skip eating... As the saying goes: People are like iron rice or steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will be hungry..."
"Are you bored? I want to be alone now, don't you hear me?" Liu Mao said impatiently.
"Okay, okay, I'm going out, don't get angry...I'll heat the rice in the pot for you..." Liu Mao's wife turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
"Alas..." Liu Mao let out a long sigh: "What should I do... On the one hand, there are rights and on the other hand, conscience. Should I choose rights or conscience?" Liu Mao was really in a dilemma at this moment.
, I really don’t know how to choose.
That night, Liu Mao couldn't sleep.
…
after one day.
Liu Mao took the initiative to find Qiao Shan. Liu Mao looked a little haggard and his eyes were bloodshot. He could tell at a glance that he had not rested well.
The place where Liu Mao and Qiao Shan met was in a small forest. The location of the small forest was very remote. Normally, no one would come here. Therefore, it was safe for Liu Mao and Qiao Shan to discuss things here. Basically, they would not be disturbed.
people discovered.
"Deputy Secretary Liu, how are you thinking?" Qiao Shan asked straight to the point.
Liu Mao took a deep breath: "I promise you."
"Haha... I knew Deputy Secretary Liu would agree." Qiao Shan's eyes turned into slits as he smiled: "Deputy Secretary Liu, from now on we will be comrades in the trenches. Work hard and Deputy County Magistrate Li will never treat you badly.
of."
Liu Mao nodded: "When do you plan to take action..."
"Of course the sooner the better." Qiao Shan said.
"Then let's do it tomorrow." Liu Mao thought for a while and said.
"No problem! I will cooperate with you tomorrow!" Qiao Shan smiled.
Between power and conscience, Liu Mao finally chose power. As Qiao Shan said, those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. If he wants to become the party secretary of Gaohe Township, he must find a way to bring down Ma Xiaoyao.
…
The recent weather has been very unusual. One moment it was clear and clear, and the next moment there were dark clouds, and then there was heavy downpour. Each time it rained, it only lasted for a short period of time, about half an hour. The rain stopped, and then the dark clouds dispersed.
The sun reappears in the sky.
Ma Xiaoyao put down a document, opened his arms, and stretched: "Oh... I'm so tired..."
"Dong dong dong..."
There was a slight knock at the door.
"Please come in." Ma Xiaoyao shouted towards the door.
The door was pushed open and Liu Mao strode in: "Secretary Ma, are you free tonight?"
"What's wrong?" Ma Xiaoyao asked doubtfully.
"Oh, I want to invite you to my house for dinner tonight and discuss something with you." Liu Mao said with a smile.
"What are we discussing?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"Well...this matter is difficult to talk about...Secretary Ma, if you are free in the evening, go to my house. Then I will talk to you in detail." There was a trace of hesitation on Liu Mao's face.
"It's quite mysterious... Okay, I'll go to your house tonight." Ma Xiaoyao smiled.
When he heard that Ma Xiaoyao had agreed to the invitation, Liu Mao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Secretary Ma, we have decided that we must go to my house tonight."
"Don't worry, since I agreed, I will definitely go." Ma Xiaoyao picked up the cigarette case, weighed out two cigarettes, handed one to Liu Mao, and put one in his mouth.
Liu Mao hurriedly stepped forward, took out a lighter, helped Ma Xiaoyao light the cigarette, and then lit his own cigarette.
"Deputy Secretary Liu, how are the assigned college students doing? Can they still adapt to the working environment here?" Ma Xiaoyao took a puff of cigarette.
"It's very good. The college students assigned are very obedient, can endure hardships, and have good abilities." Liu Mao gave high praise.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "As long as you can adapt to the work."
After chatting for a few words, Liu Mao left the office.
After sending Liu Mao away, Ma Xiaoyao continued to review and approve documents. There are now more companies in Gaohe Township, and the economic situation has greatly improved. Likewise, Ma Xiaoyao's workload has also increased. He is so busy every day that he only has time to sleep and eat.
It's time.
Although he was very tired, Ma Xiaoyao did not complain at all. On the contrary, he was very satisfied with his current living situation. Being busy at work meant that Gaohe Township was developing well. As long as Gaohe Township could be truly prosperous, tiredness and hardship would not be counted.
What.
…
Six p.m.
Ma Xiaoyao came to Liu Mao's home as promised.
Liu Mao had already prepared a table of wine and food, and was waiting for Ma Xiaoyao to come.
"Huh? Are you the only one at home?" Ma Xiaoyao glanced at the room.
"My wife has returned to her parents' home. Come on, Secretary Ma, please take a seat." Liu Mao greeted Ma Xiaoyao and sat at the dining table, then picked up the wine bottle and filled the two wine glasses on the table. Liu Mao put down the wine bottle, and then
Picking up the wine glass: "Secretary Ma, let me toast you!"
Ma Xiaoyao picked up the wine glass, touched it lightly with Liu Mao, raised his head and poured the wine into his mouth.
Watching Ma Xiaoyao drink the whole glass of wine, Liu Mao couldn't help but have a complicated look in his eyes.
"Huh? Deputy Secretary Liu, why don't you drink?" Ma Xiaoyao looked at Liu Mao who was in a daze in confusion.
"Ah... drink... I'll drink... drink it right away..." Liu Mao came back to his senses and hurriedly poured the wine into his mouth. A spicy feeling suddenly spread from his throat.
Next, Liu Mao toasted Ma Xiaoyao several glasses of wine, each time drinking in one gulp. In a short time, the two of them drank half a bottle of liquor.
"I can't... I can't drink anymore... I feel so dizzy now..." Ma Xiaoyao put down the wine glass and kept shaking his head: "Deputy Secretary Liu... Where did you buy this wine? How strong is it?
But it's big enough...uh..." Halfway through, Ma Xiaoyao swayed and lay down on the dining table.
"Secretary Ma...Secretary Ma...get up and continue drinking..." Liu Mao reached out and pushed Ma Xiaoyao gently.
Ma Xiaoyao lay motionless on the dining table, apparently drunk.
"Huh..." Liu Mao breathed out gently, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a series of numbers: "Come here, the man has fallen." After saying that, Liu Mao hung up the phone.
Looking down at Ma Xiaoyao, who was lying unconscious on the table, Liu Mao showed a trace of guilt on his face: "Secretary Ma...I'm sorry...I don't want to do this to you...but I also want to make progress, and I also want to be promoted.
I also want to be the party committee secretary of Gaohe Township... Secretary Ma, I'm really sorry..."
A few minutes later, Qiao Shan arrived at Liu Mao's home. When he saw Ma Xiaoyao lying motionless on the dining table, Qiao Shan's eyes suddenly showed a hint of joy: "Deputy Secretary Liu, you really did not disappoint me..."
"You have been fascinated by me. I will leave the rest to you." Liu Mao said expressionlessly. Liu Mao's invitation to Ma Xiaoyao to be a guest at home today was just a pretense. His purpose was to plot against Ma Xiaoyao. Ma Xiaoyao
The wine glass he just used had already been smeared with 'fascination' medicine, which was very potent. Ma Xiaoyao only drank a few glasses of wine before he was already unconscious.
