Dai Qian put on light makeup today, and her clothes must have been changed deliberately, which is why she came so late.
The fish tastes very delicious, it is indeed wild fish, and there is no trace of muddy taste in your mouth.
After eating a piece of fish, Director Zou sighed and said, "This fish tastes so good. No matter what, I will eat more. If I gain weight, I will gain weight."
Dai Qian and I both laughed.
Director Zou pointed at the fish in the basin with his chopsticks, "Now I often think about this question. In fact, we humans are just like this little animal. We are too insignificant and we really cannot control our own destiny. Look at this
If the fish in the bowl hadn't been caught from the water, wouldn't they still be swimming happily in the water? It's a pity that they have become a delicacy in our mouths now."
Dai Qian hurriedly put down her chopsticks and said, "Director Zou, what you said is so cruel. I don't even dare to eat them."
Director Zou suddenly laughed, "If you don't want to eat, I'll eat a few more."
I laughed too, and then put a fish into Dai Qian's bowl, and said at the same time: "Director Zou, this world was originally designed like this. Fish exists on this earth, and one of its functions is
Food for humans and other animals. This is also a kind of fate. But I think this issue can better explain the influence of external factors on destiny. There was an old monk in a temple who especially liked to make tea with mountain spring water. One day
, he found that the mountain spring water in the bucket outside the house had frozen, so he thought that part of the mountain spring water in the bucket was boiled and turned into sweet and delicious tea, while the rest froze.
It turns into ice. This is originally mountain spring water in a spring. Whether it turns into tea or ice does not depend on the mountain spring itself, but on whether we put the bucket inside or outside the house. This is actually a matter of the environment.
Huge impact. Director Zou, you and I are both people who have a certain amount of power now. Aren’t the fates of many of our subordinates just like that half bucket of mountain spring water? If it were during the war years, the fate of many of us would be like
There is no fish in this bowl."
Director Zou nodded, "Xiao Feng, what you said is very Buddhist. It makes sense, it makes sense. I didn't drink beer in vain tonight. What you said is worth thinking about when I go back."
I hurriedly said humbly: "You are too generous. What I said is just a reality."
In fact, it was because what he just said made me feel that there was a negative element in it. I couldn't help but wonder: Did he encounter anything unpleasant recently? Or did he feel some kind of danger? That's why I brought up his topic.
Lead in a positive direction.
He shook his head and said: "But we still can't control many things in reality, so we have to let nature take its course. Xiao Feng, I rarely drink alcohol recently, and I basically leave the reception to the people below. I
I find it boring, so instead of going out to socialize every day, I might as well read a book at home."
I felt more and more that his mood was not normal, but it was hard for me to ask him, because he showed no signs of wanting to tell me. I said, "Well, let's drink less today, just drink the wine in the glass."
.Then we’ll go back after having something to eat.”
He nodded and said: "This is best. You have to go back to Shangjiang City early tomorrow morning to go to work, right? You also go back early to rest."
I nodded.
We left here quickly after that, and it was really him who settled the bill. I was not polite to him, because I thought that he was reimbursing the money with public funds anyway, not to mention that we didn't spend much tonight.
I asked him to get into my car and said I would take him back. But he shook his head and said, "I want to go alone, so you can take Xiao Dai off."
The doubts in my heart became even more serious, so I hurriedly asked him in a low voice: "Director Zou, have you had anything unpleasant recently? Do you need me to do anything for you?"
He shook his head and said, "It's okay. Maybe I'm too tired. Haha! You go ahead, I'll go for a walk alone and lose weight on the way. I've just eaten so much, I have to burn off part of it through exercise."
I looked at him, but he walked forward alone.
"Let's go, I'll take you back." I looked at his retreating figure with a wry smile, then went to Dai Qian's side and said to her.
She nodded, "Thank you."
After getting in the car, I was still thinking about Director Zou's unusual mood today, and I couldn't help but say: "Director Zou doesn't seem to be feeling right today."
Dai Qian said something immediately. Her words made me immediately understand what was going on, and at the same time, I became worried about Director Zou...
Dai Qian said: "Recently I heard rumors that a construction company in our province has a problem. There is a beautiful woman in this company, and she has such relationships with many officials, and this has also involved a lot of people.
People. Recently, there were private rumors in the Health Department that someone had seen Director Zou with that woman. But these are just rumors, but Director Zou's mood has obviously been abnormal recently.
I have become reclusive and reclusive.”
I said: "Isn't it just a rumor? If there is really a problem, the organization will definitely look for him. The problem is that there is no such thing now, so such rumors are not necessarily true."
She nodded, "That's true."
Although I am saying this, I feel in my heart that maybe this is the most reasonable reason to explain his abnormal mood today. Maybe he once really had that kind of relationship with that woman named Peng Hui, and also worked for that family.
The company has done some things, but the problem has not yet been fully exposed, or the problem is not serious, so this matter has not affected Director Zou for the time being.
However, he has already felt tremendous ideological pressure.
When we were eating fish, he looked at the fish from that angle. It was not just cruelty, but more of a fear in his heart. Just now I offered to send it to him but he refused. He said he wanted to
Walking alone, does it mean that he feels that his free time is running out? So he wants to breathe more free air alone?
He told me that he rarely drinks alcohol recently, and that he was really out of shape when he drank today. This was also a sign of his inner nervousness and fear. At first, he was reluctant to come out, but later he agreed to me, maybe because he hoped that if something happened in the future
If something goes wrong, can I help him?
I have very little concern about his condition.
Then I asked Dai Qian: "Dai Qian, what do you think of Director Zou?"
She said: "I don't know much about the leaders in front of the Provincial Department of Health, but I have heard from many people that Director Zou is a very good leader compared with his predecessors. At least he has given a lot to the hospitals below.
He has autonomy, and many people say he is relatively honest."
Integrity? I couldn't help but smile bitterly. But then I remembered her wording: That's true. This may be true. Maybe he is incorruptible in comparison.
I don’t want to think about this matter anymore. In fact, we have discussed this issue before when we were having midnight snacks: should the fish in the river continue to swim freely in the water or become a delicacy on people’s tables? This is not a certain fish
The fish itself can decide. This is fate. Whether the mountain spring water turns into tea or ice is not determined by the water itself. It depends on where the person puts the bucket of water. Although it is only separated by a wall, other things
The results vary greatly. A hole in the fishing net, or where the fisherman sets the net, can determine the fate of a certain fish.
In the final analysis, all of this is destiny. We cannot control it ourselves.
Dai Qian was quickly sent downstairs to her home. She did not get out of the car immediately. She was looking at me and said, "Go up and have a cup of tea?"
I immediately felt her words become a kind of temptation. I hesitated for a moment, and then asked her: "Where's yours?"
She said: "I've been divorced a long time ago. Come and sit down. There are very few people there. I want to talk to you. Is that okay?"
I suddenly felt excited and turned off the car.
She walked in front of me and I followed her. Then she entered the elevator of the high-rise building and went upstairs. Here we are, this is the twenty-fifth floor. (To be continued)
