Since Liao Gufeng left Jiangdong Province, he had never been in contact with Qiao Liang. Unexpectedly, at this time, he actually called him personally. As expected, the phone number belonged to either his office or home.
Qiao Liang was instantly excited when she was surprised. She subconsciously sat up from the bed, her body still trembling.
"Boy, what are you doing?" Liao Gufeng said calmly.
"Liao... Secretary Liao... it's... it's you... it's really you..." Qiao Liang's voice stammered due to excitement and surprise.
"Of course it's me, it's really me. Whether I change my name or my surname, I am Liao Gufeng." Liao Gufeng said humorously.
"Liao...Secretary Liao, I am so...so excited to hear your voice..." Qiao Liang said happily.
"Huh? Just excited?"
"No, I'm still happy, very happy, extremely happy."
"Haha..." Liao Gufeng laughed, "Well, excited and happy, that's right. Boy, guess where I am?"
"You are in the North West Province."
"Nonsense, where am I in Northwest Province?"
"provincial capital."
"That's nonsense again, where am I in the provincial capital?"
"I guess you are either in the office or at home."
"Well, that's right. I'm at home and just had dinner."
Qiao Liang nodded and continued: "Secretary Liao, how are you doing recently?"
"Okay, everything is fine with me, boy, how about you?" Liao Gufeng said.
"I..." Qiao Liang's voice was a little disappointed, "I'm sorry, Secretary Liao, I have failed to live up to your expectations of me. I have gone downhill. My job position has been adjusted. I am now raising pigs in the newspaper office's living base."
"Well, I know this. It's good to raise pigs. Those who are near water and towers get the moon first, so you won't have to worry about eating meat in the future." Liao Gufeng said humorously.
Qiao Liang grinned, this guy seemed quite happy to see him raising pigs.
Liao Gufeng continued: "Boy, pig farming has gone downhill, has it failed to live up to my expectations?"
"This..." Qiao Liang didn't know what to say, and thought to herself, isn't it?
Liao Gufeng said again: "Do you know what I expect from you?"
"Of course we need to keep making progress and keep making progress," Qiao Liang said.
"Well, the answer is correct, but have you ever thought that progress and progress are never smooth sailing? Have you ever thought that in the process of progress and progress, you will always have to go through ups and downs? The so-called future is
It is bright, but the road is tortuous. This simple truth is easy to say, but it seems difficult to accept and understand it in real experience, right?" Liao Gufeng said.
"Uh...yes." Qiao Liang nodded subconsciously.
"So, kid, you can't say that the current situation has failed me, let alone that it is going downhill. Temporary twists and turns and troughs do not represent forever, and cannot completely determine a person's fate. On the contrary, this is a
It is a rare opportunity for people to hone their spirit and will. When you look back on this opportunity in the future, you will think it is a valuable asset. Even, from a certain perspective, you have to thank the person who brought you this opportunity." Liao Gufeng said.
.
"Yeah." Qiao Liang couldn't help but nodded. What Liao Gufeng said was so similar to what An Zhe said that day.
Liao Gufeng added: "People, human nature, all have weaknesses. Perhaps when you are at a low point, you can understand these weaknesses more deeply and have more determination and courage to make up for and overcome them. Therefore, I think that in this so-called "
On the downhill road, you are still making progress and making progress, but progress and progress are expressed in different ways. So, kid, make good progress and make good progress. Only in this way will you not really live up to my expectations for you."
After listening to Liao Gufeng's sincere teachings, Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel cheerful and grateful to Liao Gufeng from the bottom of her heart.
"Secretary Liao, I have kept your words in mind. Thank you very much for your guidance and teachings."
"Boy, do you just want to thank me?" Liao Gufeng asked.
"Then...what else?" Qiao Liang scratched his head.
Liao Gufeng chuckled: "Do you miss me?"
"I want it, I want it very much," Qiao Liang said immediately.
"Haha, I just talked to you about the weaknesses of human nature. You must have received the book Xiaoqian gave you, right?"
"Yes, I received it in the afternoon. Lu Qian said you asked her to buy it for me. I was looking at it when you called me."
"Well, read carefully and attentively. Use this rare free time to recharge your batteries and enrich your wisdom and brain."
"Okay, definitely."
Liao Gufeng was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Boy, tell me honestly, did you bully my daughter this afternoon?"
"This, this..." Qiao Liang suddenly became nervous, "Secretary Liao, I...I didn't, how could I dare to bully her."
"Really not?"
"Really not."
"Then when I called Xiaoqian just now, why was she crying?"
"Ah? Lu Qian is crying?"
"nonsense."
Qiao Liang felt a little tricky: "Well... Secretary Liao, when Lu Qian came to see me in the afternoon, she said that she was about to end her temporary post and was going back to the capital. She asked me if I wanted her to stay..."
"Then how did you answer?" Liao Gufeng interrupted Qiao Liang.
"I said... this matter is very important. I can't make the decision for her. She should make the decision herself, or seek your and aunt's opinions... Then, Lu Qian became unhappy..."
"Since Xiaoqian asked for your opinion in advance on this matter, why did you answer her like this?"
"Because...because I feel that I don't have the power or the qualifications..." Qiao Liang whispered.
"Hmph..." Liao Gufeng snorted.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel nervous and didn't dare to speak.
Liao Gufeng was silent for a moment and said: "You kid, you are so cunning..."
"Secretary Liao, I..." Qiao Liang continued to be nervous.
"Still very smart." Liao Gufeng said again.
Qiao Liang scratched his head.
Liao Gufeng continued: "Boy, I don't know whether I should praise you or criticize you."
"You should criticize me." Qiao Liang said.
"Why?" Liao Gufeng asked.
"Because I made Lu Qian angry and made her cry, and... I think you... you don't seem to be happy either." Qiao Liang said cautiously.
"How do you feel that I am unhappy?" Liao Gufeng asked.
"This... I don't know, it's just intuition." Qiao Liang said.
"You trust your instincts?"
"This... I might do it in front of others, but I wouldn't dare to do it in front of you."
"Hmph -" Liao Gufeng snorted again, "You still have some self-awareness, so you don't dare to show off in front of me."
Qiao Liang hurriedly said: "Not only the big sword, but also the small sword."
Hearing Qiao Liang's words, Liao Gufeng couldn't help but want to laugh and said: "Okay, boy, let this matter be over..."
Qiao Liang blinked, what do you mean by passing? Liao Gufeng seemed confused by what he said.
Although he didn't understand, Qiao Liang didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Then Liao Gufeng said: "Boy, when you are in adversity, I want to give you a message."
Hearing Liao Gufeng change the topic, Qiao Liang breathed a sigh of relief: "Secretary Liao, you said -"
Liao Gufeng said slowly: "Adversity is like sand in a clam. It will eventually shine like a pearl. You have to thank all the people who brought you adversity, because it is them who make you become yourself."
"
Liao Gufeng's words contained profound philosophy and profound experience of his decades of official life. Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel shocked after hearing this.
Then Liao Gufeng hung up the phone, and then said to his wife sitting on the sofa next to him: "Old Lu, I will call you Xiaoqian later, comfort her, and let her finish her temporary job and return to Beijing."
Mrs. Liao frowned and said dissatisfied: "Our Xiaoqian is so good to Qiao Liang, it's too disrespectful for this kid to be like this at this time..."
"Don't say that, don't think that." Liao Gufeng interrupted his wife and laughed, "I think this guy is good and has the skills. His character and temper are becoming more and more like me back then. The more this guy looks like
In this way, I appreciate him more..."
Mrs. Liao snorted: "I think if you were decades younger, you might become brothers with Qiao Liang."
Liao Gufeng smiled and said: "It's not enough to become sworn brothers, but I will definitely become close friends with him... Hey, it's a pity that I'm old. I don't want to be his eldest brother, I really want to be his father-in-law, but this kid..."
Mrs. Liao sighed: "As soon as Xiaoqian finished her temporary job and left Jiangzhou, I think their affairs were basically ruined and there was no chance at all."
"Don't draw conclusions so early." Liao Gufeng shook his head, "First of all, we should not ask too much or interfere with young people's affairs. It is best to let everything take its course; secondly, Qiao Liang is a member of the officialdom, although he
He is still in Jiangzhou now, but it is hard to say where his official career will end in the future, so don’t just focus on Jiangzhou, take a long-term view, and broaden your horizons..."
"Old Liao, what you mean is..." Mrs. Liao looked at Liao Gufeng.
Liao Gufeng waved his hand: "What I mean is that the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly. Young people must have the ambition and pride of flying clouds... All the opportunities in this world are destined, and you will eventually get what is yours."
, there is no need to force anything that shouldn’t be yours.”
Listening to Liao Gufeng's words, Mrs. Liao thought for a moment, and then sighed softly...
At this time, Qiao Liang was leaning on the bedside, smoking and recalling what Liao Gufeng had said to him on the phone. His heart was ups and downs, and he had so many thoughts...
After a while, a smile appeared on Qiao Liang's lips.
At this time, the phone rang again. Qiao Liang touched it and saw that it was Ye Xinyi calling.
Qiao Liang immediately answered: "My favorite..."
"You didn't come back over the weekend?" Ye Xinyi said softly.
"No, it's still in the mountains."
"Why don't you come back for the weekend?"
"No, you're back?"
"Well, I just had dinner and I knocked on your dormitory door but there was no response, so I called you."
"You can make phone calls, but don't come to the mountains to see me."
"Why?"
"Because every move I make in the mountains is monitored and I will be reported outside the mountains at any time."
"Ah——" Ye Xinyi exclaimed, "Who did this?"
"Don't make a fuss, you should know who did it." Qiao Liang said calmly.
Ye Xinyi was silent for a long time: "Qiao Liang, I'm very worried about you."
"Don't worry, I'm fine in the mountains, living a happy life like a paradise." Qiao Liang said.
"But I'm still worried. I'm worried that once you have such a hot temper..." Ye Xinyi sighed.
Qiao Liang was moved in her heart: "Xinyi, I know you are doing it for my own good. Don't worry, I know why someone would torment me in such a perverted way. I won't break out easily. Of course, if I break out, then..."
