However, I seemed to understand another layer of his words: it seemed unlikely that I would be the person to replace Mayor Wen. But it was not convenient for me to ask him such a question.
To be honest, if something really happened to Mayor Wen, I don’t want to take over his position at this time. I don’t want to be seen as someone who conspired to gain power. Although what I have done
Things are a matter of necessity, but many things are impossible to explain to the outside world. Most people can only see the appearance of things.
Many people think that the truth that ordinary people cannot know is caused by political opacity, but this is not the case.
I said: "Minister Yang, your analysis is very reasonable. I hope this matter can be resolved as soon as possible, and then let Shangjiang City start a series of reforms as soon as possible."
He nodded and said: "I hope so too. Mayor Feng, what do you think are the conditions needed for our reform in Shangjiang City to proceed smoothly and achieve ultimate success?"
I said: "This is hard to say. For example, the overall design of the reform, the cooperation of various departments, etc. This is a systematic project."
He smiled and said: "That's true. But what I want to ask you is not this aspect, but the political environment in our Shangjiang City."
I looked at him in astonishment, "Your problem is a bit big. The political environment..." At this point, I seemed to understand a little bit, "You mean that we in Shangjiang City need someone who can make the people feel that
Are we all a team that really wants to reform, rather than a team that is fighting for power and profit?"
He brought a glass to me and said, "Yes, Mayor Feng, if you can see this, it means you are a selfless person at heart. Come, let's have a drink!"
I couldn't help but laugh, "Minister Yang, do you think too highly of me?"
But he said seriously: "Mayor Feng, I am telling the truth. In today's Shangjiang City, not only must we be selfless in our hearts, but the current situation also requires us to be like this. Because only by letting the people of Shangjiang City
Only when the cadres and the masses believe that everything we do is for reform and not for personal interests will they truly support us. Mayor Feng, you have already understood the reality, which is the problem with our reforms in Shangjiang City
There is no way out. If something goes wrong with Mayor Wen this time, it would be best for you and me not to move our positions for the time being. Secretary Chen will definitely make such a suggestion to the province, because he and I will
Communicated, communicated.”
I nodded and said, "Actually, I think so too. You and I are still very young now, so there is no need to fight for this moment. Minister Yang, although we have not been in contact for a long time, you should understand who I am as a person.
I have always believed that the most important thing is to do everything well at the moment, and as for promotion, it is an organizational matter. Haha! I am actually a bit lazy, and I am very unwilling to face a new and unfamiliar working environment. This time
Before I was transferred to Shangjiang City, I was not willing at all because I had just become familiar with the work there, and... Haha! Minister Yang, let me tell you, the work there is actually very leisurely and easy to find.
I helped a lot of people, and my life was really nourishing."
He laughed, "I totally believe it!"
I immediately went to toast him, "Minister Yang, come here, I'll toast you."
We drank together, and then I asked him: "Minister Yang, today you said on the phone that Mayor Wen and the others would change something next. What you said was that they would suddenly become low-key. Is that right?"
He smiled and nodded: "That should be the case. Think about it, they are almost at their wits' end, otherwise what else could they do? But this time things are really dangerous. If we didn't stop Secretary Chen in time,
I really don’t dare to think about what the result will be now. Although they are taking a risk with this move, the chance of winning is extremely high. Even if Mayor Wen is in the position of Secretary Chen, he has encountered such a thing
The person will still be arrested, and it is very likely that the person will be sent to a labor camp. This trick is very insidious and sophisticated. They only implemented it after they saw it correctly. But Mayor Feng, what you proposed to Secretary Chen
A few suggestions are powerful enough, and such a counterattack is impeccable."
I hurriedly said: "In the final analysis, you, Minister Yang, are still clear-headed. You are the general. I just expressed my own opinions based on your ideas. It's nothing special. If you are in charge of the government in the future,
If so, he is definitely a very good leader.”
He laughed and said, "Mayor Feng, look at how the two of us are flattering each other."
I smiled and said, "I'm telling the truth."
In fact, I know that he must be very happy at this moment. Of course, so am I.
Now, we have basically finished talking about things, and I feel more relaxed because the anxiety in my heart is no longer. Then I said to Minister Yang: "I'm going to ask Xiao Ruan to come in for a drink."
He nodded at me, "It's still too deserted for three people to drink. But today we just talked about it temporarily. Mayor Feng, wait until our work in Shangjiang City gets on track some other time. We will ask a few people to have a good drink together. Then
Call Secretary Chen."
I said, "Okay. Just find a weekend at this place. What do you think?"
But he shook his head and said: "We'd better go to a place outside our Jiangnan Province by then. Then we won't have to worry about our identity or anything else. In fact, we are also very tired, and it's not easy to relax completely.
"
I nodded, "Yes."
In fact, I'm thinking: I might be better than you at this point, because I don't seem to take myself as seriously as you do, and I'm not that good at wrapping up my inner desires.
In fact, I know that my personality is not particularly suitable for politics, because people in politics must completely wrap up their inner thoughts at all times, must learn to be hypocritical, and even more need to regard this hypocrisy as a habit.
But I can't do it.
To reach that state requires practice. After all, the truth in people's hearts has a very powerful power. A person has to overcome such a powerful force and hide his true self at any time, and also appear in another appearance. This
But it is difficult for ordinary people to do it. Therefore, real politicians are great because they have already passed the stage of "living tiredly".
I immediately went out to call Ruan Zhenzhen, but the waiter told me that she had gone out. I was surprised, "She is not in the restaurant, why did she go out?"
The foreman said: "She said she was going out to book a flight."
I was suddenly stunned: Did she really book a ticket to Hainan tonight? But she didn’t know my ID number?
I secretly wondered, and then returned to the private room. Minister Yang was looking at me, so I had to smile and said to him: "She was in a hurry and left the restaurant temporarily."
He laughed "haha", "It's okay. Then the two of us can continue drinking. Mayor Feng, let's drink less today. I have to go home early to spend time with my wife and children."
I suddenly remembered what Ruan Jie once reminded me: Did he really fall in love with Zhenzhen? I couldn’t help but feel funny in my heart: No matter how good a man is, he is a man first, and a good man will be more of a man. Liking beautiful women is anything
It is the nature of men, and it seems that Minister Yang is no exception.
Then he started to become a little absent-minded, and when I mentioned our affairs in Shangjiang City several times, he was no longer as enthusiastic as before. Half an hour later, he said to me: "Mayor Feng, thank you for the dinner. Here is
The food is very unique, I like it very much. Brother, we have to help each other in the future. We are colleagues in the same camp at work, and we are good friends in private. I hope we can maintain such a relationship in the future. Do you agree? Feng
mayor?"
I smiled and said, "That's for sure."
He suggested that we have one last glass of wine tonight. After we drank it, he immediately stood up and left. I walked with him out of the private room, and then I discovered that Ruan Zhenzhen was already outside, and she was looking at the two of us and laughing.
I immediately blamed her and said, "What are you doing? I came to call you just now but you were not there."
She said hurriedly: "I went out to do something. I'm sorry, Minister Yang. I'll punish myself with three drinks next time."
Minister Yang smiled and said: "Next time I treat you, I hope Manager Ruan can come and have a few drinks."
Ruan Zhenzhen smiled and said: "No problem. I will give you a discount then."
Minister Yang smiled and said: "There is no need for discounts. We will be very happy when Manager Ruan gets rich. Don't you think so, Mayor Feng?"
I laugh while saying nothing.
Then I sent him away, and Ruan Zhenzhen followed us downstairs.
After Minister Yang drove away, Ruan Zhenzhen tilted his head and looked at me with a smile, "Let's go."
I looked at her in shock, "Have you really booked the tickets?"
She was looking at me and smiling, and her beautiful face looked very lively. She said, "Didn't we already agree? There is a ticket pre-sale point not far from our restaurant.
It is specially set up for you rich people. I have already booked the tickets just now. However, there will be no discounts for temporary bookings like this, and the price is a bit expensive."
Immediately, she took out two tickets and showed them to me. I found that one of them actually had my name on it. I asked her in surprise: "How do you know my ID number?"
She smiled and asked me, "Guess."
I smiled bitterly and shook my head, "How do I know?"
She smiled and said to me: "Let's go. The plane will take off in an hour and a half. Let's take a taxi to the airport. I'll tell you how I know your ID number on the way."
I thought she was a little incredible, "We're going to the airport like this? Why don't we go back and prepare?"
She smiled and said: "How wonderful is this? Suddenly I remembered that I would go to a place without bringing anything with me, and buy whatever I need when I get to the destination. This is not the most important question, the important thing is to have such a
Mood. Think of something and do it right away. Brother Feng, this is my favorite thing to do all the time. It’s a pity that no one was willing to follow me to go crazy like this. We are under too much pressure, don’t you?
Don’t you think we all need to vent in this way and live out our true selves? This is just like when we were young, doing things based on our own interests and not considering other people’s thoughts at all. This is not the best.
? How many adults today dare to do this? How many people can do this? "
I immediately understood what she meant. She wanted to let her inner freedom be released to the fullest. In fact, I also need this, especially after I tried to wrap up my heart as much as possible. Recently, I have been
I felt so tired. Therefore, I suddenly had an impulse in my heart: Why can't I do this? Anyway, it is the weekend, which is only two days.
I immediately said: "Let's go."
She was very happy and immediately went to the roadside to hail a taxi. (To be continued)
