The next morning, Qiao Liang went to Sanjiang County and called Liu Yiping.
"At home?" Qiao Liang said.
"Yeah." Liu Yiping said.
"I'm in the county seat."
"oh……"
"If you have time, wouldn't it be convenient for you to come out and sit down?" Qiao Liang asked tentatively.
Liu Yiping said without hesitation: "Okay."
"I'll wait for you at the teahouse on Center Street."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Qiao Liang hung up the phone and went directly to the Zhongxin Street Tea House, found a private room, and ordered a pot of tea. After a while, Liu Yiping came.
At this time, Liu Yiping's eyes were dim, her expression was gloomy, and she had completely lost her former energetic look.
Qiao Liang knew why she was like this. For people who work in the system, the most important thing is of course their official career. If their official career is not smooth, how can they talk about their style?
Qiao Liang asked Liu Yiping to sit down, poured her a cup of tea, and then said, "Thank you for visiting my parents at my house yesterday."
Liu Yiping picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then put it down and looked up at Qiao Liang: "Do you think I did this to show you and to curry favor with you?"
Qiao Liang hurriedly waved her hands and said sincerely: "I definitely don't think so. For so many years, you have insisted on visiting my parents during the Mid-Autumn Festival. To be honest, I am very touched and grateful."
"It seems you still have some conscience." Liu Yiping's words contained a bit of resentment.
Qiao Liang didn't know what to say for a moment, so he took out a cigarette, lit it, and took two puffs silently.
Then Liu Yiping said: "Congratulations on your promotion, and congratulations on your hard work finally being rewarded."
"Thank you." Qiao Liang said dryly.
"You are so proud now, but I am stagnant and even going downhill..." Liu Yiping laughed at herself, "You asked me out today, in addition to thanking you, you came to see my jokes, right?"
Qiao Liang said seriously: "If I want to see you laugh, do I need to do it now? Is it necessary to ask you out alone? Do you think I really want to see you laugh? Do you think I really want to see you so confused and depressed?"
Liu Yiping remained silent.
Qiao Liang took a puff of cigarette and continued: "I asked you out today because I wanted to have a good talk with you. I think it may be time for us to have a good talk."
Liu Yiping looked at Qiao Liang: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Talk about you, talk about your past, present and future." Qiao Liang said.
Liu Yiping smiled sadly: "My past has become history, my present is a mess, and as for my future, there is no glimmer of light in sight, so what is there to talk about?"
"Yes, of course." Qiao Liang nodded affirmatively, "Yiping, let me ask you, have you ever seriously reflected on yourself?"
"Reflect on what?" Liu Yiping looked a little confused.
"Reflect on the past, reflect on the present." Qiao Liang said.
"The past...now..." Liu Yiping murmured, "In the past and now, what is there to reflect on?"
"Give me your hand." Qiao Liang said.
Liu Yiping stretched out her right hand and Qiao Liang gently held it.
The moment Qiao Liang held Liu Yiping's hand, Liu Yiping couldn't help but tremble slightly and looked at Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang looked at Liu Yiping: "Yiping, I am holding your hand and talking to you now. You have to believe that every word I say is sincere."
Liu Yiping nodded slightly: "If you tell me, I will listen carefully."
Qiao Liang breathed out: "Yiping, from when you worked in Mazhuang Town to when you served as Sanjiang Propaganda Minister, you were always high-spirited and positive, and your work has been fully recognized by the superiors and everyone. Your
The future is bright. As a young deputy cadre, no one doubts that you will stop moving forward, including me..."
Liu Yiping looked at Qiao Liang intently.
Qiao Liang continued: "However, when everyone was very optimistic about you, and you thought you could reach a new level during the personnel adjustment during the Jing Haoran era, there was a turning point. You failed to serve as the top leader of the newspaper.
I was not able to hold a more important position in the county. I was just transferred to the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee. I know this is a small blow to you..."
Liu Yiping pursed her lips.
Qiao Liang continued: "So, have you ever thought about why this turning point occurred?"
Liu Yiping lowered her eyelids and said nothing.
Qiao Liang said: "Actually, you know it in your heart even if you don't say it, and I also know it."
"What do you know?" Liu Yiping looked up at Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liangli said: "I know that Secretary Xu thought highly of you and wanted to support you as the leader of the newspaper. I know that after Secretary Xu left the Propaganda Department, you changed your mind and turned to Fengfeng.
In the new year, I want to seek a more important position in Sanjiang, because this more important position seems to have more room for your future development.
But have you ever thought about what Xu Shuji will think of you if you do this? Will he think you are half-hearted and ungrateful? As a big leader, this is the most taboo thing for subordinates, and you have done exactly that. In this way,
After the Fengdanian incident, during the personnel adjustment, Xu Shuji did not help you in any way. In fact, I now feel that it would have been good if Xu Shuji did not add insult to injury at that time..."
Liu Yiping blushed and lowered her head silently.
Qiao Liang continued: "After you were transferred to the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee as the deputy director, if you could work step by step and do things in a down-to-earth manner, you might have opportunities for progress. However, you followed the steps of Minister Chu.
Working closely with Minister Chu, he suppressed and excluded Ye Xinyi first, and then Shao Bingyu.
You have made a fatal mistake, because Secretary Xu and Minister Chu have always had a bad relationship, because Secretary Xu has always appreciated Ye Xinyi. At the same time, Secretary An also appreciates Ye Xinyi and Shao Bingyu.
.In this way, in a sense, you have provoked two big bosses at once, and these two big bosses are also very powerful, and both of them are more powerful than Minister Chu. In this case, do you think you can still
Is your career going well?"
Liu Yiping sighed deeply: "I'm unlucky."
Qiao Liang shook his head: "This is not a simple question of whether you are unlucky or not, but you have to reflect on yourself deeply from the bottom of your heart."
"What should I reflect on?" Liu Yiping looked at Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang simply said: "Reflect on your own behavior and actions."
Liu Yiping looked a little embarrassed.
Qiao Liang continued: "As a subordinate, the most important thing is to be loyal to your superiors. Secretary Xu valued you so much and had such high expectations at that time. Should you change your tune? Just because Secretary Xu is no longer in charge of publicity.
You just think that he is of no use to you. This is really short-sighted. To put it bluntly, you are short-sighted."
Liu Yiping looked even more embarrassed, Qiao Liang's words were a bit serious.
Qiao Liang continued: "Also, think about it for yourself, when Ye Xinyi worked with you, what was wrong with you? What did she do that harmed your interests? Why do you have to be at odds with her? Why not?
Do you want to follow Minister Chu in suppressing and ostracizing her? Does your own promotion have to step on others?
Of course, as a subordinate, I have no comment on Minister Chu’s actions, and I am not qualified to criticize the leader behind his back. Of course, you can think that Ye Xinyi’s performance will pose a threat to your future progress, but that is a matter of human effort, and political achievements are different.
People do it, why don’t you want to work hard yourself and make progress together with her?"
Liu Yiping looked at Qiao Liang, and Qiao Liang's words touched something deep in her heart.
