In late summer nights, the heat has subsided and the gentle night breeze makes people feel comfortable.
Jing Haoran was half lying on a bamboo chair under the grape trellis in the yard, closing his eyes and thinking deeply.
After leaving office, Jing Haoran gradually adapted to his current living conditions. The old crowds and crowds were a thing of the past, and the glory and glory of the past were no longer there. In the deserted loneliness, he developed the habit of being alone.
When he was alone, Jing Haoran spent more time thinking.
After working within the system for decades, Jing Haoran has never stopped thinking. Thinking has become his habit, which he continued after leaving office.
Of course, after leaving office, Jing Haoran thought about different things than before. Before, he mainly thought about work and the people around him, as well as various intricate relationships and conflicts between superiors and subordinates. But now, he thinks more about
For yourself, think about how to spend your possibly long leisure years, and think about whether you can still be productive in old age.
Of course, as the former Jiangzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary, Jing Haoran will inevitably think about his successor, and while thinking about him, he will also pay attention to and observe him.
This is not deliberate, but subconscious.
While I was closing my eyes and thinking deeply, the phone in the living room rang.
Jing Haoran lay there without moving. The nanny was in the living room and she would answer the phone.
After a while, the nanny came out and whispered: "Secretary Jing, Secretary Tang called..."
Jing Haoran's eyelids moved. Since he left office, Tang Shusen has rarely contacted him. Why did this guy think of calling tonight?
Jing Haoran then stood up, walked slowly into the living room, sat on the sofa, picked up the phone, and said in a low voice: "Well..."
"Secretary Jing, good evening, this is Shusen." Tang Shusen's warm voice came from the phone.
"Oh, Shusen..." Jing Haoran chuckled, then looked up at the clock on the wall. It was almost 10 o'clock, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why was he calling himself at this time?
"Secretary Jing, haven't you rested yet?" Tang Shusen asked tentatively.
According to this point, Jing Haoran would usually prepare to rest, but tonight when Tang Shusen called, Jing Haoran subconsciously felt that he should have something to do, so he said: "Not yet, you called me to find something?"
"Haha, yes, I've been thinking about some things recently. I want to report my thoughts to you tonight. I wonder if it's convenient for Secretary Jing?" Tang Shusen said in a tentative tone again.
Tang Shusen's words gave Jing Haoran a sense of presence. Whenever the current Standing Committee members came to him to report their thoughts, he had this sense of presence.
Jing Haoran also knew that as the time he left office extended, and as his old subordinates' positions continued to change and went their separate ways, there would be fewer and fewer opportunities to gain a sense of presence.
This made Jing Haoran feel unwillingly lonely and deserted, but he also knew that this was an inevitable trend.
Now hearing what Tang Shusen said, Jing Haoran felt that his so-called reporting ideas must be reasonable.
Jing Haoran couldn't help but become interested: "I'm drinking tea and watching TV. It's convenient. You can do it."
"Hey, okay, I'll go right away."
Jing Haoran hung up the phone, then asked the nanny to make a pot of tea and drank it slowly.
After a while the doorbell rang, the nanny went to open the door, and Tang Shusen came in.
Tang Shusen carried a bag and put it on the coffee table after entering: "Secretary Jing, I brought you two boxes of Cordyceps to replenish your health..."
"Hey, Shusen, come on. What else can you bring? See you later. See you later..." Jing Haoran said a few polite words, then asked the nanny to put it away, and then invited Tang Shusen to sit down and drink tea.
Tang Shusen sat opposite Jing Haoran, looked at Jing Haoran and said, "Secretary Jing, your complexion is getting better and better now. Seeing Secretary Jing like this makes me happy from the bottom of my heart."
Jing Haoran smiled lightly: "Shusen, you are a rare visitor, but I haven't seen you for some time."
"Secretary Jing, I'm too busy with work on weekdays, and I've wanted to come and see you for a long time, but I really can't spare the time. Please forgive me, Secretary Jing..." Tang Shusen said hurriedly.
Jing Haoran waved his hand: "I understand that you are busy, there is no need to be so polite. How about it, how is your work lately?"
Since Deng Jun was transferred out of the municipal party committee office, Jing Haoran has lost an important channel to obtain the latest developments from high-level officials, and the information is somewhat blocked.
Tang Shusen looked like he was hesitating to speak.
"Just what?" Jing Haoran said casually.
"Just working with different bosses has different moods and moods." Tang Shusen said.
Jing Haoran couldn't help but laugh, Tang Shusen's words sounded quite pleasant to his ears.
"Shu Sen, why are your mood and state of mind different?"
"To put it simply, it's better to be happy when you follow Secretary Jing." Tang Shusen said directly.
"Huh?" Jing Haoran frowned and looked at Tang Shusen, "Shusen, what you mean is..."
Tang Shusen sighed: "Secretary Jing, you are my old leader. I work with you. You know me well and know people well. I also respect you very much. You are energetic and forward-looking in doing things. However, Lao An takes over
After you, his working methods and work style made me increasingly uncomfortable..."
"Why don't you get used to it?" Jing Haoran asked with interest.
Tang Shusen knew that Jing Haoran had been dissatisfied with An Zhe for a long time, so he accused An Zhe unceremoniously. The content was similar to what he said to Zhao Xiaolan, and he also added that An Zhe did not respect veteran cadres.
After listening to what Tang Shusen said, Jing Haoran was silent for a moment. What Tang Shusen said seemed to make sense, but it depends on whose position and mood you understand it. To be fair, after An Zhe succeeded him, he worked vigorously and vigorously in all aspects.
Big, his political achievements are very obvious, which is in sharp contrast with the period when he was in power.
But the more this happened, the more uncomfortable Jing Haoran felt. This was tantamount to showing his incompetent leadership and incompetent governance.
In addition, Anzhe's treatment of Deng Jun undoubtedly slapped him in the face, making him feel angry and embarrassed when he thinks about it.
In this kind of mentality, Jing Haoran couldn't help but want to agree with Tang Shusen's words.
But Jing Haoran immediately thought of another question: Why did Tang Shusen talk to him specifically about this? What is his real intention of coming here tonight? Is he just trying to vent his dissatisfaction with An Zhe in front of him, or is he trying to instigate a relationship between himself and An Zhe?
The intention?
Thinking of this, Jing Haoran couldn't help but feel a little wary. Damn, Tang Shusen has always been cunning and always likes to take advantage of others. He can't be easily used by him.
Seeing Jing Haoran's silence, Tang Shusen roughly guessed what he was thinking, and continued: "Actually, this is not just my opinion, there are other members of the Standing Committee who think so, and this view is also common among middle-level and grassroots cadres.
, but because of Lao An’s domineering and arbitrary attitude, no one dared to express it publicly.
And the more no one dares to say anything, the more unscrupulous Lao An becomes, which has almost reached its peak recently. I really can't stand it anymore. The more I think about it, the more depressed I feel. The more depressed I am, the more worried I am about the overall situation of Jiangzhou and its future. I just think of it.
After seeing the old leader, I thought of talking to the old leader to express my feelings..."
