Chapter 2057

In the evening, in a small private room of a five-star hotel, there were several exquisite dishes on the table and a bottle of Wuliangye. There were just two of us, sitting opposite each other.

"I can't help it, other places are not so quiet. I always run into people from the units below. They always come to toast, which is annoying." After sitting down, he said to me with a smile.

I also laughed, "That's true. Although the food here is not delicious, it is quiet."

He sighed and said: "Mayor Feng, we haven't been drinking together like this for a long time, right?"

I nodded and said, "Yes. Everyone is usually very busy."

He shook his head, "Being busy is just an excuse. I think we have become a little alienated. Mayor Feng, I like to tell the truth. You said, you and I are in the same standing committee, no matter how busy we are, we can still find time.

We eat and chat together, right? For example, today."

I didn't expect him to be so straightforward, and then he said: "Secretary Yang, I think you may have misunderstood. How could I alienate you? The main reason is that I am too busy. And I also feel that it is not good for us to be together often. It has been a long time ago.

Some people are saying that you and I are both Secretary Chen's followers. You are in charge of cadres and I am in charge of the economy. Some of the words are too ugly. Moreover, you and I still have a clear understanding of many things and strongly support Secretary Chen's work. Also

That is, the things in the industrial park kept me from getting away for most of last year. I was busy all day long, and sometimes I didn’t even have time to eat. You know all this. Secretary Yang, in a word

, I really have no intention of alienating you."

He smiled and said: "I know that. That's great. I've been worried that you would alienate me. It would be nice if you didn't. In fact, we have been friends since we met, right?"

I smiled and nodded, "Of course. Actually, I really want to invite you out to have a meal together during the Spring Festival. But thinking about how rarely I am at home throughout the year, my child has no mother, and my father just passed away, so I thought that I should

Try to spend as much time as possible with my mother and children at home. During the Spring Festival, I came to Shangjiang to attend a banquet held by the Japanese side, and also had a night of beer with the leaders of the Medical University, Education Committee, and Health Department. Secretary Yang, please

You understand."

Even I felt awkward when I said this. In fact, I didn’t know that he was also talking to me hypocritically? And I also knew in my heart that he came to me today for more than just

For the sake of small talk, our topic now should be just polite before getting down to business.

I also believe that he knows it well, but we all know that there are many things that can be solved as long as we don't break up. What's more, there is no dispute between me and him, and there is no conflict of interest. It's just an emotional change.

It's just a bit distant.

In fact, there are many reasons for our emotional estrangement. I think the main reason is that he makes me feel a little shady. It’s hard to explain this problem. It’s just a feeling he gave me, a very uncomfortable feeling.

We started drinking and chatting about things going up to the river. I had already made up my mind: as long as he didn't talk about the substantive issues, I would never talk about it first.

We were half drunk, and when the two of us finished the bottle of wine, Secretary Yang asked me with a smile: "How about another bottle?"

I smiled and said, "Just do whatever you want."

He immediately ran out and asked the waiter to bring another bottle in, then opened it and poured me wine while saying: "Today is really fun because we drink wine from friends, not work wine. Mayor Feng, I want to ask

Let me ask you, what do you think of the current situation in Shangjiang City?"

I smiled and said, "That's great. The reform of state-owned enterprises is on the right track, and the city's plan will be released soon. This year will be the most promising year for our Shangjiang City."

He shook his head and said, "That's not what I asked."

I asked him: "What is that? I don't understand."

He pointed at me and smiled, "Mayor Feng, you are cunning, cunning!"

I smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know what question you are going to ask me."

He looked at me like that, and then suddenly laughed, "Well, let me ask you. What do you think of our current Secretary Chen?"

Here he is, his real purpose in asking me to drink today was finally revealed at this moment. I smiled coldly in my heart.

I said: "Is there any difference between the current Secretary Chen and the previous Secretary Chen? Oh, it seems to be different. Now he has absolute authority and completely controls the situation in our Shangjiang City. This is good.

Ah, the current situation is very favorable for our reform. Only in this way can our various departments form a synergy and push the reform forward more quickly."

He nodded, "That's true. What else?"

I looked at him in astonishment, "What else? What else?"

He glared at me, "You said you were friends with me, why didn't you tell me the truth? Brother, we don't need to guard against each other, right? Look at me, I'm really talking to you."

I smiled and said, "Where am I taking precautions?"

He shook his head and pointed at me, "You... forget it, let me ask you directly: Don't you think we have promoted more female cadres recently?"

I immediately laughed, "You are in charge of the organization, this is all your business, right?"

He shook his head, "I won't tell you anymore. I know, you are on guard against me, that's why you don't want to talk to me."

I found that he was really unhappy, and he looked very disappointed and lonely. At this moment, I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. After all, he had asked me such a question first, and he also took the initiative to ask me about that sensitive question.

Let me make it clear that it will not be good if I keep pretending like this, and the result will be that we will become more and more estranged.

I thought about it and said: "Secretary Yang, actually, I have always felt that you and Secretary Chen are closer, and you are more submissive to him than me. I am different, I always say different things in front of him

My views and opinions sometimes even conflict with him. But to be honest, I don’t have any disrespect towards him. It’s mainly to remind him. However, I also found that in fact, in terms of my views on many issues, it later turned out that I was

Wrong, so now I rarely talk about my ideas in front of him. Also, I find that Secretary Chen seems to be increasingly unable to listen to different opinions. Maybe he is too capable. For cadres

Question... Now I have also heard some rumors about him, but I still don’t believe it. After all, the situation in our Shangjiang City is still relatively complicated, and I always think that he is a thousand people.

Dao 10,000, at least he is not greedy. As for the other issues, it’s just a matter of small details. Haha! Secretary Yang, what do you think?"

He sighed and said: "Mayor Feng, you have touched on the most fundamental issue. I am in charge of the organization, and the arrangement of cadres is the greatest expression of the authority of the municipal party committee secretary. Do you think I may go against his wishes? I have to do it.

I can only obey him absolutely. This is my duty. You are different. You are responsible for the city's finance and economy. You must have your own ideas, and you also have this ability. Secretary Chen

He only looks at the results when he looks at problems. As long as you improve the economy, what else will he say?"

I nodded, thinking that what he said was indeed the truth. But I didn’t understand what his purpose was in telling me these things, so I asked him: "So Secretary Yang, what exactly do you want to tell me? I

What can be done?”

He clinked glasses with me and said, "Brother, what I'm most worried about now is that something will happen to Lao Chen."

I was suddenly startled, "Why do you say that?"

He then said something, and I was stunned immediately after hearing it——

I didn't expect that his views were exactly the same as mine, and he also talked about some deeper issues. (To be continued)
