It was already after eleven o'clock in the evening when I returned to my residence, but I didn't want to delay this very important matter due to time constraints, so I called Lin Yu immediately.
In fact, I am not worried about having bugs or anything like that in my residence, because my residence was arranged by Secretary-General Lu personally, and I believe that no matter how shameless those people are, they would not do such a thing. But I am still special.
Be careful, because now I find that Shangjiang City is too complicated, and many things cannot be inferred using common sense. So I made this call from the toilet.
Immediately after the call was dialed, Lin Yu's voice came, "You're still up so late? Have you drunk too much?"
I immediately said: "I drank a little, but I'm not drunk. Sister, I have something urgent to report to you."
She immediately laughed and said: "Really? Huh? How come you got an echo when you spoke over there?"
I replied: "Sister, I made this call to you in the bathroom..."
She burst out laughing, "Are you going too far? You called me while going to the toilet? Are you in such a hurry?"
I hurriedly said: "That's not the case. Sister, I am worried that there is a bug in my residence, just in case."
Her voice suddenly became serious, "The situation in your Shangjiang City isn't that serious, right?"
I said, "Maybe I'm over-worrying, but I think it never hurts to be careful."
She said: "That's true. Then tell me, what's the matter? Or...are you in a hurry tomorrow? If not, you might as well come back. I miss you."
I thought to myself: This is a good idea, and I haven't been alone with her for a long time. So I asked her: "Sister, should I come to your house or somewhere else?"
She said: "You can come directly to my house and park your car in the garage below."
I agreed repeatedly and immediately called the driver, "Xiao Cui, take me home right away. There's something urgent at home."
I don’t want to drive by myself, because it’s very dangerous, and it’s a sensitive period in Shangjiang City, so the leader’s decision to speed up the bus is considered a violation of discipline.
Xiao Cui drove very fast, because there were fewer cars on the highway during this time period, and I was in a hurry, so I didn’t stop him this time. But I was really worried because I found Xiao Cui
Driving fast has become a habit, and it is difficult to change his habit.
When I got in the car, I said to him: "Wake me up when you arrive at my door later, and I will rest for a while. By the way, I will drive my own car back tomorrow, so you can go home and rest early."
He said: "Mayor Feng, maybe I can find a place to stay in the provincial capital, and I will pick you up early tomorrow morning. Wouldn't this be better?"
I asked him: "Your family won't have any objections, right?"
He smiled and said, "That's what my job is like. You don't use the car much, and I'm very free. It's okay if I don't go home once in a while."
I nodded, "That's okay. That's okay. I won't rest either. I'll talk to you to prevent you from dozing off."
He said: "It's okay, you can rest. I'm used to burning the midnight oil."
I ignored him and said, "Xiao Cui, Director Sun suddenly came when you were at my residence today, and our conversation was interrupted. Tell me, what other things are people talking about about Mayor Wen?"
"
He said: "Mayor Feng, I have told you that those words are all rumors. There is no evidence. Although some people say they saw something in a hotel in the provincial capital, such things may not be credible.
"
I said: "You have misunderstood me. I just want to know something about this situation. I am not very familiar with the situation in Shangjiang City. In the future, I have to prevent others from gossiping about me behind my back, right? I just
I'm thinking, Mayor Wen is still the top leader, how could anyone spread such rumors about him? Then won't I, the deputy mayor, be rumored more by others in the future? Xiao Cui, don't be nervous, we are just chatting casually."
He said: "Anyway, I heard that his relationship with a woman from the health bureau was not normal. What happened in the provincial capital hotel was just about the two of them."
My mind immediately thought of the woman who came to toast me tonight, and I couldn't help but ask: "That woman's surname is Xiao, isn't she?"
He laughed "haha", "It seems that she is the one he is talking about."
I immediately understood: Mayor Yin’s purpose tonight is to intensify the conflict between Mayor Wen and I. But what is her purpose of doing this? What benefits does she do to herself? Is it to make Wen
Is the mayor increasing his hostility towards me? To force Mayor Wen to declare war on Secretary Chen to achieve her own personal safety? Or is she trying to squeeze me out and let Jiang Shanan take my place? You know, Jiang Shan
An is also a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee like me. If I am squeezed out, the person who will replace me will most likely be Jiang Shanan.
After thinking about it, I immediately asked her: "Mayor Yin and Mayor Jiang seem to have a very good relationship, right?"
He nodded and said, "Mayor Jiang's grandmother and Mayor Yin's grandmother are sisters. The two families are relatives."
That's right, I thought to myself. But I laughed, "Shangjiang City is really small, and the two deputy mayors in the city government are actually relatives."
He also laughed, "But Mayor Yin has a bad temper. I heard that she often confronts Mayor Jiang. Many people praise her for her integrity."
She is performing, don’t you know? I asked him in my heart, but I said in my mouth: "Haha! No way? If you put it like this, doesn’t she make Mayor Jiang look dishonest?
Do any relatives do this to each other? But it seems to be true, these two people almost had a falling out at the last government executive meeting."
He said: "We ordinary people view such things differently from your leaders. Mayor Jiang has actually done a lot of practical things, so in the eyes of ordinary people there is no question of who is good or who is bad. Everyone says that Mayor Jiang
He is very tolerant.”
I couldn't help but smile bitterly: What kind of logic is this? But when I think about it carefully, it seems to be true: in the eyes of ordinary people, leaders are always mysterious and aloof. Even if they know that a certain leader is corrupt, they have already
They have become numb to such things. Perhaps what they care about is more official news. This is just like star chasers talking about certain celebrities behind their backs. Although they are angry about some things about them, they are still angry about them.
Talk about it with pleasure.
I didn't want to continue asking, because I suddenly felt that the more I asked, it would be dangerous. You know, some people have a very sensitive sense of smell, and it's hard to tell if someone might alert them.
Later, I fell asleep without knowing it. When Xiao Cui woke me up, I found that the car had arrived at the door of my house. I looked at the time and found that it was almost midnight, and then said to Xiao Cui: "You were earlier."
Go and rest. Do you have any money with you?"
He smiled and said to me: "I borrowed a sum of money from the general office. If you have any reception or anything, Xiao Xu and I can make arrangements for you at any time."
I nodded.
After watching his car drive away, I slowly walked towards Lin Yu's residence.
It was very quiet in the community. All the noise during the day had fallen into silence at this moment. The world seemed to have closed its tired eyes and entered meditation, and it seemed as if the world was sleeping soundly.
I like this night, this quiet night. There is no noise, no worldliness, no dispute, just like a baby who has just fallen asleep, quiet and elegant, as if he is constructing the blueprint for tomorrow in his dream.
I like to wake up alone in this quiet night. Let my heart return to nature and tranquility in the influence of the night. Let the night wash away the dust in my soul and make me clean.
I like to stay alone in this quiet night, doing nothing. I just look up at the sky and see how many stars there are, or look down to cleanse my heart, or simply sit quietly until dawn. I prefer a
Go to this suddenly sleeping world and see what it will be like when the crowded streets during the day are now deserted; see whether the city full of intrigues and intrigues will look more lovely in this quiet night than in the daytime;
Look at whether the people who are busy all day are enjoying the warmth of family at the moment, or whether they are still immersed in the world of money... (To be continued)
