The relationship between people is like this. Sometimes it may only take a few words to quickly close the relationship. Of course, sincerity is the most important thing.
He smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, I am thinking in my heart that we are all people who came from departments in the province, and we should be more united. I am older than you, and I don't want to stay down here for too long.
Just for this term, I still want to go back to work in a department in the province. For me, I will be satisfied with being in the main office for the rest of my life. So I have no competition with you, and there will be no direct interest relationship. That’s right.
Because of this, I dare to tell the truth in front of you. Mayor Feng, I hope you will do the same in front of me in the future. This will help us all make fewer mistakes. Don't you think so?"
I smiled and said: "Mayor Qin, you regard me as a friend, why should I not regard you as a friend? I am very happy today and thank you very much. We will not talk about this matter. I will pay you more respect tonight.
A few drinks, we understand it tacitly."
Then I chatted with him for a while before leaving.
Secretary-General Li made a sumptuous dinner with special dishes from a specialty restaurant. Although the environment was a bit worse, the atmosphere and dishes were no worse than those in the restaurant.
Mayor Liu was also very happy. He kept praising: "Today's arrangement is good."
In fact, I know that Mayor Liu does not want to arrange today's dinner in such a place, but he does not dare to arrange today's affairs in a restaurant. After all, Shangjiang City is undergoing rectification, and Secretary Chen is taking the lead.
The same activity is held in the dining hall. For Mayor Liu, today is the first dinner for members of the abbot's team and the main person in charge of the office since he took office as mayor. This at least the face is still needed.
The more a person becomes a leader, the more he cares about face. This is almost a very common phenomenon in today's society. Therefore, I think my guess is spot on.
The food is good, the wine is good, and it reflects Secretary Chen’s intention to rectify his work style. It’s no wonder that Mayor Liu is unhappy. He drank a lot of wine in the evening and took the initiative to toast every member of the team, saying
His words were also very sincere.
Everyone had a great time drinking.
The next day was Saturday, and the Municipal Party Committee notified the convening of an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee. The number of participants increased to deputy positions and above from various departments.
The meeting was held in the auditorium of the Municipal Party School. Because the conference center of the municipal government has not yet been completed, meetings like this were held in the school auditorium as usual.
The main content of the meeting was the city's reform mobilization and rectification propaganda. Secretary Chen gave the speech alone.
There was no lunch arranged at noon. Secretary Chen said that the rectification movement would start with the issue of eating.
I received a call from Tong Yao when I was having lunch in the government canteen. She asked me if I was free to have dinner together today. I told her that I would get back to her after asking about the situation.
To be honest, I was very happy that she took the initiative to call me. At the same time, I felt guilty: Why can't I take the initiative myself?
I know very well that my handling of this matter cannot simply be attributed to being busy. In fact, the most fundamental reason is that the gap between me and her still exists in my heart.
But I have been very busy recently, and this gave me a reasonable excuse and reason. I asked Mayor Liu at the table if he had any plans for the afternoon and tomorrow. He smiled and said: "You go back
Let's rest. Let's take time to hold a government executive meeting next week. Mayor Feng, the two of us will discuss the issues together on Monday morning."
I nodded, but I was thinking: He doesn’t seem to understand the procedure of the government’s executive meeting. Because at every government executive meeting, the secretary-general of the general office asks the deputies for topics, and the deputies’ issues are brought to the mayor.
Once there, it will be up to the mayor to decide what needs to be brought to the meeting as soon as possible.
I was planning to remind him of this just now, but suddenly I thought of what Mayor Qin said to me, so I didn't say anything more on such an occasion.
Although I also know that this is the way it should be, I feel a little awkward in my heart: How good it used to be? I can say whatever I want.
After eating, I went back to the provincial capital. On the way, I called Tong Yao and told her that I was on my way back to the provincial capital.
She was very happy, "Great. Let's go fishing in the afternoon."
I asked her cautiously: "Where is Fang Qiang?"
She immediately asked me: "What do you mean?"
I said, "It's not interesting. Let's talk about it when I get back. I'm in the car."
She hung up the phone. Although she understood what I meant by that sentence, which was to tell her that it was not convenient for me to speak now, I found that she still had the same personality and had not changed at all.
After returning home, I asked the driver to pick me up early on Monday. Then I returned home, made a pot of tea and went to the terrace. The child said he wanted to play with me, so I gave him the gift I bought last time.
The electric car was moved to the terrace. The children played there while I lay on the recliner and started making phone calls.
First I called Zhong Feng, because my child’s electric car suddenly reminded me of her. I was very hesitant about Tong Yao’s proposal.
Things between me and her have truly become a thing of the past. Fang Qiang trusts her very much, and he trusts me too. His trust makes me feel ashamed, and from the bottom of my heart, I have begun to pay attention to maintaining a distance from Tong Yao.
.
In fact, I know that the key to the problem still lies with me, because I know that I always have her in my heart. It's just that her heart belongs to something else.
"Zhong Feng, how are you lately?" I asked her softly as soon as the call was dialed.
There was a sadness in her voice when she answered me, "You can still think of me."
I felt a little ashamed, "I've been really busy lately. I'm sorry."
She then smiled and said to me: "I know you are very busy recently, so I didn't bother you. What? Are you free today?"
I replied: "Yeah. I'll contact you later. After dinner. OK?"
She suddenly said happily: "Really? Then I will go to the hotel to book a room first. Feng Xiao, I have to wait for you."
I thought about it: I might have to have dinner with Tong Yao in the evening, and it would probably be after nine o'clock after the meal. I had a feeling that Tong Yao might not be looking for me just to play with me today. I said: "You
Don't be in a hurry and go get a room first. I'll contact you after I have dinner with my friends."
She immediately asked me: "Boyfriend or girlfriend?"
After hesitating for a moment, I answered her honestly, "A female friend. Her boyfriend and I are also friends."
I added this sentence specially, firstly, I feel that there is no need to deceive her on this matter, and secondly, I have truly given up my last thoughts about Tong Yao in my heart. She does not belong to me, even if I try my best
There is no point in pursuing it.
"Just you two?" she asked.
"Yeah. Let's talk about something." I replied hurriedly.
She immediately laughed, "I don't mean anything else. Feng Xiao, to tell you the truth, I recently opened another restaurant. My new restaurant is the most suitable for you to dine with female friends."
I suddenly asked in surprise: "New restaurant? You opened another one?"
She smiled and said: "Yeah. So I have been very busy recently, so I haven't contacted you. Aren't you also very busy? I just took the time to open my new restaurant. Feng Xiao, you come to me today
You will definitely like the new restaurant dining bar, because the feature of my new restaurant is the clouds of beauties. While the guests are dining, beauties are shuttled around them, and they are all beauties in ancient costumes. Think about it, like this
Wouldn’t you men like the dining environment?”
I didn't quite believe what she said. I thought she was joking with me, "Zhong Feng, your idea is quite interesting. Let's do this. In two years we will open a restaurant like this together."
But she said: "I'm not joking with you, I'm telling the truth. The characteristic of my new restaurant is that it combines the deliciousness of flowers, the enchantment of dance, and the mystery of martial arts. This is a unique kind of dining
The content and form are perfectly combined, complementing each other and interpreting the new fashionable food culture of beauty, scenery, food and feeling nature. What do you think? Are you going to try it tonight?"
After hearing what she said, I was surprised and immediately became interested, but I still felt strange in my heart, "Zhong Feng, did you plan this yourself? Haha... those few sentences you just said
Why does the introduction of the words not seem to be your style?"
She immediately couldn't stop laughing, "This is the idea of a writer friend I met not long ago, but I turned his idea into reality."
I was even more surprised, "Writer friend? Male or female?"
She smiled and said, "What's wrong, man? Are you jealous?"
I couldn't help but laugh, "Didn't you make an appointment with me to check out a room today? How could I be jealous?"
She giggled and said, "You are not humorous at all. Then we have an agreement?"
Then she told me the place.
Next I called Tong Yao, "Let's have dinner together. I'm at home now to spend time with my child."
She said: "That's okay. Are you free now? Can I come to your house to have tea with you?"
It seems that she really has something to ask me for. I thought to myself. Then I said: "Welcome!" (To be continued)
