Tang Lin and Zhou Rentong always met, but not at the construction site or in Ping'an Town, but in the room of Shangtang Hotel. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but Tang Lin's room and Zhou Rentong's room were opposite.
Tang Lin had a temporary room in Shangtang Hotel, but it was also the cheapest room. This coincidence made Zhou Rentong's heart move. Even if Tang Lin did this on purpose, it was rare for him at his current age and status.
Because this is purely for work needs, there is no problem at all even if he opens a presidential suite as the office of the development zone leadership group.
After all, businessmen also need face when receiving various guests.
But Tang Lin doesn't want this face, he wants to be pragmatic, and this room is not for his exclusive use. He can still do business with outsiders when he is away.
So Tang Lin and Zhou Rentong met accidentally in front of the room door. It was not that they wanted to meet at this time, but that they happened to meet each other when they both went back to the room to rest.
Zhou Rentong was stunned for a moment, then asked majestically, "Do you live across from me on purpose?"
Tang Lin's expression was indifferent, "No, this room is my temporary office. If I'm too busy, I sleep here."
Zhou Rentong nodded slightly, subconsciously raised his hand and glanced at the time, "Come in and let's chat." This was Tang Lin whom Zhou Rentong took the initiative to call. This was very different from Tang Lin taking the initiative to find him. Tang Lin followed Zhou Rentong directly into his room.
.
Tang Lin has always admired Zhou Rentong's life style. At first, he didn't like Zhou Rentong, but as the contact deepened, as the confrontation intensified, and as the relationship eased, he could see everything comprehensively.
. Relatively speaking, Zhou Rentong is already a relatively self-controlled cadre.
The two sat down, and Zhou Rentong personally made a cup of tea for Tang Lin. He brought the tea himself. He led a team to attend the groundbreaking ceremony this time. There were a dozen people in total, but he didn't bring a secretary or assistant, so he didn't bring anything.
It’s about making enough food and clothing by yourself.
Tang Lin didn't know how to make tea, so he could only wait, but this made him a little uncomfortable. Zhou Rentong's cup of tea might not be that delicious, but the result was better than he expected. Zhou Rentong's tone was quite calm.
"Yue Qing is a young cadre I am more optimistic about. He called me last night and mentioned you. I didn't expect you to do this. Yue Qing's current path is his own, and he must face it himself.
Yes, I also hope that he can truly recognize himself and change his ways, but I will use caution with him in the future."
Zhou Rentong talked about the taboo of Yue Qing as soon as he opened his mouth. According to common sense, he should not mention this person in front of Tang Lin at this time, because it would not be very beneficial to him. After all, it was widely rumored that Yue Qing had given him gifts.
Tang Lin did not speak, but waited for Zhou Rentong to continue. He has always done this very well, and he has always been a pretty good listener. Zhou Rentong paused, "There are many rumors, and there are many about me. I am indeed
I have met Yue Qing twice. You must know that Huang Ying is not the only one who cares about Shang Tang's situation. It's just okay not to see him, but it is even more heartbreaking after seeing him. Why are today's young cadres so undisciplined?"
"As soon as you have the power, you relax your demands on yourself and start doing random things. This kind of thing is hateful and heartbreaking!" Zhou Rentong couldn't help but stand up and walk back and forth in the room when he got excited. The room itself was very small, he said.
It was very hard to turn back and forth, but he still couldn't stop. It was obvious that he was really sad.
"I have not been very optimistic about you, but now you have at least one advantage, that is, you are not short of money, and you will not make financial mistakes, and this is very important for a local administrator!"
Having said this, he finally stopped and came to the window, looking at the night scene outside. Tang Lin was still sitting quietly on the chair. The room was very small, there was no sofa, only two ancient wooden chairs.
"I feel a little unsure about what Mayor Zhou said. I know that there was some estrangement between Mayor Zhou and me because of Yue Qing's matter. Of course, this does not mean that Mayor Zhou will care about me, but some things are complicated.
Naturally, people will not be in a good mood if they get together."
"I'm surprised that Mayor Zhou told me this. I thought this topic was taboo. It seems that I underestimated Mayor Zhou's broadmindedness."
Zhou Rentong looked back at him, "I am the mayor, I am the chief administrator of this huge city. I may have objections to you because of specific matters, but as things have developed so far, I have no objections to you personally. You have no objections to me.
I don’t understand, and I don’t understand you either, so there must be a misunderstanding.”
"When I'm in my position, I already have my own way of looking at and employing people. I'm not interested in a young cadre with your personality and characteristics. Huang Ying is interested in you, but your personal relationship makes me suspicious.
Whether she can grasp this point, but so far so good. She is more mature than you, but she is a woman after all. Maybe it is my bias. I don’t think it is a good thing for female cadres to have power alone. Of course, there are female officials
The benefits and advantages are undeniable.”
"What I said sounds a bit contradictory, right? In fact, it is not contradictory, because no matter what your position is, you are all subordinate to the Zhongzhou Municipal Government and are my administrative subordinates, so I must pay special attention to key officials like you.
Investigation, this is very important, for the future of Zhongzhou, and even for me personally."
"I will arrive at the station next year, but I have not yet reached the age of retirement. I would like to know what you think of me." Zhou Rentong changed the topic and suddenly asked a very strange question but definitely difficult to answer.
Tang Lin did not respond immediately, but thought for a moment, and then raised his head, "Mayor Zhou is a strict self-disciplined national cadre, which is rare. I have no right to make judgments about administrative capabilities. My current position and
The field of view is not enough.”
The answer given by Tang Lin stunned Zhou Rentong, and then he repeated the sentence of being strict with oneself in a low voice, and finally smiled bitterly, "It is not easy for every official who holds power to be strict with oneself. When you
It's even more difficult when you have enough power. I didn't expect you to think this way about me. You, a young man, really have your own unique characteristics."
"Okay, you go back and have a rest. Young people should also pay attention to their health." Zhou Rentong issued the eviction order, but it may not be a bad thing for Tang Lin. He was still satisfied with his answer just now. He is not the kind of person who flatters.
Zhou Rentong knew very well that Zhou Rentong was actually happy from the bottom of his heart when he made such comments.
Because the words "strict self-discipline" can guarantee him an invincible position in the officialdom, not to mention that Zhongzhou is relatively satisfied with the development and construction of the province in recent years.
Zhou Rentong has also reached this stage and needs to thoroughly plan his next position and needs.
