Duan Jue smiled and nodded to Hu Guangyou, "Hu Bureau, you are wrong to say that. I am flattered that you still come to have supper with me so late."
Hu Guangyou smiled and said, "Mr. Duan, don't you mean to kill me when you say that?"
Duan Jue smiled slightly and said, "Hu Ju, please take a seat."
After Duan Jue finished speaking, he glanced at the staff next to him. The few waiting staff immediately withdrew. Hu Guangyou also keenly noticed a small suitcase on the dining table.
As soon as Hu Guangyou sat down, Duan Jue suddenly said, "Director Hu, I heard you are going to be transferred?"
Hu Guangyou smiled and said, "Mr. Duan is still very good. He can know all the news in advance, faster than our organizational department."
Duan Jue laughed and said, "This is an exaggeration, but if Director Hu doesn't want to be transferred, I can do my best."
Hu Guangyou looked startled and looked up at Duan Jue.
Duan Jue changed the subject and said with a smile, "Director Hu, the box on the table is a gift from me to Director Hu. Director Hu can open it and take a look."
Hu Guangyou raised his hand to open the box and saw a box full of money. His expression changed and he looked at Duan Jue and said, "Mr. Duan, what do you mean?"
Duan Jue smiled calmly and said, "Director Hu, as long as you accept this gift from me, we will be true friends. Not only can I help you keep your position as director, but I can also help you go further in the future."
When Hu Guangyou heard what Duan Jue said, his expression changed uncertainly. The other party was showing off with him in disguise!
Hu Guangyou hesitated for a moment. Seeing Duan Jue looking at him with stern eyes, Hu Guangyou forced a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Duan, you know that I am not interested in this thing except for a good drink."
"Really?" Duan Jue looked at Hu Guangyou with a half-smile, and suddenly clapped his hands. At this time, several staff members were seen carrying more than a dozen boxes and placing them on the ground. Duan Jue said, "Hu Director, since you like to drink, let's do this. I'm not short of good wine here. I'll have these wines delivered to your residence later. Director Hu can drink them slowly from now on, how about that?"
Hu Guangyou was stunned. He refused Duan Jue's money. He didn't expect that the other party would still have wine waiting for him. He just said that he just wanted a sip of wine. If he refused now, he would obviously refuse Duan Jue's solicitation and overtures. Just looking at the more than ten boxes of wine on the ground, Hu Guangyou felt panicked. Those were more than ten boxes of Maotai. How could he dare to accept them?
Duan Jue saw that Hu Guangyou was reluctant to express his position and said with a smile, "Director Hu, don't you like drinking? You don't think my drink is too bad and you don't like it, do you?"
Hu Guangyou smiled unnaturally and said, "Mr. Duan is joking, if your wine is bad, then it won't be a good wine."
Duan Jue said, "Since the wine is not bad, then Director Hu has no reason to refuse, right? Director Hu, as long as you accept this wine, we will be true friends."
Hu Guangyou sighed, "Mr. Duan, the quality of your wine is too high. I really don't dare accept it."
Duan Jue said, "Does Director Hu not dare to accept you, or does he not want to be my friend? Director Hu, let me put it bluntly, you can't be a friend, but you can easily become an enemy."
Hu Guangyou kept smiling, "Mr. Duan is joking. I have to be transferred. How can I become Mr. Duan's enemy?"
Duan Jue looked at Hu Guangyou and said, "Director Hu, what I just said is very clear. As long as we become friends, I can help you keep your position as director."
Hu Guangyou didn't say anything. Of course he wanted to continue to be the director, but he didn't want to lose his principles and bottom line, not to mention he was afraid that something would happen in the future.
Hu Guangyou finally said, "Mr. Duan, I really can't accept this drink. To be honest, I don't have great ambitions. It's quite satisfactory to me that I can retire to the second line in advance. I can live a life of early retirement in the future."
Duan Jue smiled and said, "Director Hu is in his prime, and he wants to retire early so soon?"
Hu Guangyou smiled and said, "Isn't this the case in this life? Many things cannot be forced, but people will die sooner or later. It is actually good to enjoy life in advance. Don't you think so, Mr. Duan?"
Duan Jue looked at Hu Guangyou, "It seems that Director Hu is still the one who understands, but I am not as transparent as Director Hu."
Hu Guangyou smiled and said, "I just have no ambitions and am just living my life. Mr. Duan, you are a person who wants to do big things. You will definitely not have such thoughts as me."
Duan Jue said, "I understand what Director Hu means. Does Director Hu really not think about it anymore?"
Hu Guangyou said, "Mr. Duan, I really don't have any big ambitions. I just pursue a free and easy life."
Duan Jue nodded, "Okay, then I won't say any more."
The two of them were talking, and Duan Jue also had people serve him supper. Hu Guangyou ate a little absent-mindedly. After eating, Hu Guangyou took the initiative to say goodbye, but Duan Jue didn't hold back.
Watching Hu Guangyou leave, Duan Jue stood up slowly, took the elevator to a dance studio downstairs, opened the door and went in. He saw the county magistrate Chang Chengliang sitting on a chair next to the dance studio, watching the two attentively. A young girl is practicing dancing.
Chang Chengliang had been there before Hu Guangyou came. Because Hu Guangyou came, Chang Chengliang avoided it first. He knew there was a dance studio here and came here specifically.
Duan Jue walked to the side, and Chang Chengliang came back to his senses, turned around and smiled at Duan Jue, "Mr. Duan, these two girls dance really well."
Duan Jue smiled and said, "Old Chang, do you also appreciate dancing?"
Chang Chengliang laughed and said, "A layman like me will definitely not be able to appreciate it, but I heard that our city secretary Guo seems to like watching stage plays."
Duan Jue laughed and said, "It seems that leaders don't have much privacy anymore. Look, the cadres below can find out what the leader likes."
Chang Chengliang smiled and said, "I also heard by chance that Secretary Guo likes stage plays, so a rough guy like me has to learn to appreciate dance, otherwise I won't be able to have a common language with the leader later."
Duan Jue smiled and said, "Old Chang, dance and stage play should be two different things."
Chang Chengliang smiled and blinked, "Really? From the perspective of a big guy like me, it all feels the same. Anyway, I just look at the slender, white legs dancing."
Duan Jue pointed at Chang Chengliang in a funny way, "Vulgar, vulgar is intolerable."
Chang Chengliang chuckled and said, "Vulgarity means elegance. Mr. Duan, you are really in tune with your appearance. Anyway, whether it is vulgar or not, I think Mr. Duan, you have spent a lot of effort to find such two temperaments." , from a girl with such outstanding looks, right?"
Duan Jue smiled mysteriously. He had carefully selected these two girls from the Art College of the Provincial Normal University, and he had also put a lot of effort into carefully cultivating them. They will be put to great use in the future.
Duan Jue changed the topic and said, "Hu Guangyou is gone. This guy is determined not to get involved with us."
Chang Chengliang said, "Hu Guangyou may be timid and afraid of getting into trouble."
Duan Jue snorted softly, "I think he is not necessarily timid and fearful, but he has some small thoughts in his heart."
Chang Chengliang shook his head and said, "That's not the case. What must he have in mind? In the case of the death of Cao Qinming's daughter, as the director of the county bureau, all evidence had to pass under his nose. Do you think he would not be able to discover anything? But he did nothing and cooperated to suppress the case, which shows that he is still reliable."
Duan Jue said, "As you said, maybe he is just afraid of trouble, so he doesn't dare to cause trouble. But at this juncture, we can't tolerate his swinging attitude like this. Either he becomes one of his own, or he has no choice but to get out."
Chang Chengliang was silent, perhaps one cannot avoid taking sides in this life.
The weekend passed quickly. Qiao Liang and Lu Qian stayed in the capital for two days. On Sunday night, the two took a flight from the capital back to Jiangzhou. Liao Gufeng was about to be discharged from the hospital. Qiao Liang and Lu Qian also went to the hospital in the afternoon. After a trip, I learned that Liao Gufeng will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, but Lu Qian is still in the dark about her father Liao Gufeng's true condition.
On the plane, Qiao Liang and Lu Qian were chatting. Qiao Liang had been wanting to talk to Lu Qian about the transfer back to the capital that he mentioned before, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Now they were sitting On the plane, Qiao Liang carefully considered his words and said, "Lv Qian, how have you considered the transfer back to the capital that you told me before?"
Lu Qian rolled her eyes at Qiao Liang when she heard this, "I haven't thought about it yet. I asked you for your opinion before and asked you to help me make an idea. But it turned out that asking was in vain and you didn't give me an idea."
Qiao Liang smiled and said, "I didn't think much about it before, but this time I went back to Beijing to see your father, and I thought maybe it would be more appropriate for you to be transferred back to the capital to work."
Lu Qian was stunned and glanced at Qiao Liang suspiciously, "Damn it, did my mother tell you something?"
Qiao Liang smiled and said, "Auntie, what can you say to me? This time I saw your father in the hospital, and I suddenly felt a little emotional that time is not forgiving. Your father used to look like such a energetic person, but now that he is sick, he still feels old. Quite a bit, and he only has a daughter like you. Now that the two elders are getting older, they definitely hope that you can be around. It’s not a problem for you to be working in Jiangzhou all the time. "
Lu Qian said doubtfully, "Are you sure it wasn't my mother who told you?"
Qiao Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Are you suffering from an occupational disease and treating me as a prisoner? You don't believe what I say, do you?"
Lu Qian said, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you always told me to make my own decision before, but this time you suddenly supported my transfer back to the capital. Can I not feel strange?"
Qiao Liang smiled and said, "What's so strange about this? Your parents are getting older, and this time your dad is sick and hospitalized again. I just felt emotional after seeing your dad seriously ill, so I think it would be better for you to return to the capital to work." .”
Lu Qian looked at Qiao Liang doubtfully, "What did you say? A serious illness?"
Qiao Liang's heart skipped a beat, and she secretly cursed herself for almost letting it slip, so she quickly said, "Isn't this a customary term? After all, your father has been in the hospital for so many days. I used it subconsciously."
