Not to mention, the food at Minister Wu’s house tastes really good, and the cured meat is very authentic. The rice, beans and green vegetable soup is even better. It is made by boiling the rice and beans with bone soup and then adding chopped green vegetables. The taste of beans
There is also the fragrance of green vegetables in it, and after drinking two bowls, I immediately feel intoxicated.
The three of us only drank a bottle of white wine. In situations like today, our purpose is not to drink. This wine is actually just a necessary dish. Without it, it seems that there is less fun, and it may also make our
The conversation became less sexual. At the table, we no longer talked about the previous topic. We talked about some interesting things that happened in Shangjiang City recently, but they had nothing to do with our work.
Minister Wu’s wife rarely talks, but she has become our loyal listener and our waiter. In Minister Wu’s home, I really felt the warmth of home, which made me envy them from the bottom of my heart.
Deep down I feel sad and sad for myself.
After dinner, I returned to my residence early because I was already full of wine and food. More importantly, I didn’t want to talk to them anymore. At this juncture, talking too much is likely to lead to mistakes. You know,
Secretary Yang and Minister Wu are both very smart people, especially Secretary Yang. He was able to guess my inner thoughts from my performance at the meeting today. People like this need to be more careful. But fortunately, I think
I tried my best to get over it.
Of course, I gave myself a good reason. I told them that there were still a few urgent documents that needed to be processed in the office. I was very busy on weekdays, and they all knew it, so they didn't say anything.
About another week later, I was discussing work with the head of a department in the office. Secretary Chen’s secretary called me. He told me: “Secretary Chen, please come to his office immediately.
.”
This is Secretary Chen's consistent style. His secretary is just a microphone. The word "immediately" means "an order that cannot be disobeyed."
I had no choice but to go right away.
After entering his office, I found that his expression was very cold, but he still pointed to me across from his desk and said, "Sit down."
Strangely, I found that I didn't feel any nervousness at all when I was in front of him. Instead, I became very calm and calm inside. I sat down and waited for him to speak.
I didn't look at him deliberately, but I could see everything about him at the moment from the corner of my eyes: he took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, which was soft Chinese, then put it in his mouth, picked up the lighter, lit it, and deeply
He took a puff, and a faint green smoke slowly came out from his lips and nose. He placed the cigarette on the edge of the ashtray, and then came to see me.
My eyes went to his face, and I felt very calm... Our eyes had touched, but only for a moment, and then I dodged away. I still had the same idea, there was no need for me to compete with him at this time.
.
This truth may only be understood and practiced by people of my age and experience: don't fight for the shortcomings of the moment; take a step back to open up the world.
He started to speak, "Mayor Feng, I heard that you are very proud of yourself recently, is that right?"
I was startled. Although he has been doing this for a while recently, always speaking to his subordinates in this condescending and domineering attitude and tone, I am still not used to it at the moment because his words are too harsh and directly irritating. It reached my most sensitive nerve. After being stunned for a moment, I replied: "Secretary Chen, I don't understand what you mean. I only know that since I arrived in Shangjiang City, and until now, I have been very low-key in my life. , they are all conscientious and diligent in doing every job of theirs. I rarely even attend various private gatherings, and rarely contact my colleagues in private on weekdays. Secretary Chen, I really don’t know what you mean. What do you mean I'm very proud, and I don't know where you started talking about it?"
He sneered, "You are so eloquent, no wonder many people are confused by you. Forget it, I won't tell you this anymore. Mayor Feng, I would like to ask you, what is it about me, Mr. Chen, that I'm sorry for? You? When you first came to our Shangjiang City, I supported your work very much. I fully supported and recognized all the suggestions you made and the people you wanted to use, because I think you are a very capable person. I am a leading cadre, and I also think that you are fair and fair in your actions. But what about you? You actually contradicted me and even spoke ill of me behind my back. Recently, you went to the leaders to report my so-called problems. Mayor Feng, I am I want to ask you, why are you doing this? To put it bluntly, if you just kill me, can you take my place? Don’t think that you showed your face in front of Secretary Fang this time, so that Secretary Fang is very proud of you for taking a new look at you. Mayor Feng, let me tell you, the waters in this officialdom are very deep, and it is not as simple as you think."
I don’t know why, but I couldn’t help laughing at this time, and I said: “Secretary Chen, I don’t know what you wanted to talk to me about when you called me here today, but I think our conversation like this The content is not interesting at all, and it is also ridiculous. But since you gave me such an opportunity today, I beg you, I beg you to listen carefully to what I say from the bottom of my heart. Is that okay?"
His hand went to the ashtray, but he found that the cigarette he had just lit had burned down to only the cigarette butt. He threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray, and then took out a cigarette from the cigarette box. When I lit it, a line of green smoke curled up in front of his face, making me feel that his face suddenly became illusory and ethereal.
I'm waiting for his permission.
In this case, I can only wait for his permission before continuing. This is actually the same issue: rules.
Although he said so much about me, I should follow the rules and never give him any excuse to accuse me.
He took a few deep puffs, then rolled the cigarette to the edge of the ashtray a few times, and all the ash fell into the ashtray. Perhaps because of his uneven force, the cigarette butt fell off, and the cigarette was immediately extinguished. He simply He threw the remaining part into the ashtray, and then said to me: "Okay. Tell me, I would like to hear what you say from the bottom of your heart."
Every word he said to me was sarcastic. But I felt that he was actually very excited at the moment. Although he looked arrogant and condescending, I knew that he was actually very unhappy inside at the moment. Calm, otherwise he wouldn't have made the cigarette look like that just now. Of course, I also understand that the reason why he is not calm at the moment is because of his dissatisfaction with me, especially when he sees that I don't have any fear in front of him. in the case of.
I sorted out my thoughts in a short period of time, and then said: "Secretary Chen, I have always respected you and respected you very much. Whether it is your leadership level or your forward thinking, they are all worthy of my respect from the bottom of my heart.
.I am definitely not lying, let alone flattery, this is completely my true inner thoughts. I still feel the same way no matter before or now."
He waved his hand towards me and said, "Please be honest. There are many people who say this to me, and you are not missing."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart: He was indeed too proud, and even the flattery had to be chosen depending on who said it. I said: "Secretary Chen, whether you believe it or not, this is indeed my reality.
Because of this, when I see that you are becoming less and less willing to listen to other people's advice on some issues, and less and less concerned about the impact of the situation, I feel very anxious, because I don't want you to make any mistakes. That's right.
Because of this, I tried to come to you again and again. Of course, maybe I was wrong, maybe I misunderstood you, but you didn’t give me a chance to have a good conversation with you, and you were even very angry with me because of it. Secretary Chen,
I remember what you said to me. You once told me that if I have any suggestions for you, you should speak them out boldly even when you are in a bad mood. But...
..”
At this time, he said coldly: "Isn't it just a woman's thing? You are almost the same as me. It's ridiculous for you to say such high-sounding things in front of me!"
I was immediately embarrassed, really embarrassed, because he mentioned my real weakness. I smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe. We are all men, so it's not surprising that we are on such an issue. But Secretary Chen,
I really don’t understand why you promoted so many female cadres in such a short period of time regardless of other people’s opinions. You are the municipal party committee secretary, and such a thing is likely to cause unnecessary trouble to you. In fact, it’s not just
I and other members of the Standing Committee are worried about you, because no one wants our top leader to be discussed by others. In fact, in the final analysis, this kind of worry is still about respect and concern for you..."
He immediately interrupted me, "You also said that you didn't interact with your colleagues in private. It turns out that you have already formed a small group below. Humph! I hate people who are conspiracy behind the scenes! Don't think you have any background.
You can ignore my existence and think you can go to the higher authorities to sue me. I am not afraid and I will not let you succeed."
I immediately felt that I could not communicate with him at all, "Secretary Chen, whether you believe it or not, everything I said before is the truth. Maybe you have misunderstood me too deeply. Secretary Chen, since you
At this point, I have to make a statement. Secretary Chen, I have never gone anywhere to file a complaint against you, and I have never had the idea of taking you down and replacing you. In fact, you should know me best.
Secretary Chen, maybe the more I explain this, the more you think I’m being fake. I can’t help it. I also have to explain that Secretary Fang summoned me. That matter was Secretary Fang’s intention, and I was just based on what Secretary Fang wanted to do that day.
He gave a simple answer to my question. I think it would have been like this if it had been anyone else. And I never told anyone about it afterward. As for why so many people knew about it.
The reason for this matter is very simple. Secretary Chen, this is what I have said. Believe it or not, what I said is from the bottom of my heart." (To be continued)
