I suddenly realized something, "Demao, what's wrong? Have you encountered any problems recently?"
He shook his head and said: "That's not true. But you also know that in my current position, there are many leaders who come to me. It's impossible for me not to do things for them? But I always feel uneasy because in the past, Governor Huang
……Why!"
I immediately understood that this was actually a psychological shadow caused by the incident last time. I said: "Demao, I think there is no need for you to worry about this matter. Governor Huang actually
He is very reasonable and he will never have any thoughts about you for such a thing. Actually, Demao, I think you should report your work and thoughts to him more often."
He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Feng Xiao, you don't know, I called him several times and told him that I wanted to go to his house, but he rejected me every time. Do you think he is still very dissatisfied with me now?
"
I immediately understood: Now that Wu Dongmei is at Governor Huang’s house, he will definitely not easily allow others to go to his place. But it is impossible for me to tell Kang Demao such a thing, and now I seem to understand that Kang Demao today
The reason why he wanted to chat with me was that he felt uneasy in his heart. The reason for his uneasiness was that he was worried that Governor Huang was still dissatisfied with him, so he was worried that he would lose everything he had now.
I thought about it and said: "De Mao, maybe you have misunderstood some issues. Think about it, why did Governor Huang re-appoint you again? Isn't it because he is nostalgic? Or maybe he thinks your talent is rare. Otherwise,
How could you be in such an important position now? So, I don’t think you should worry about anything. In fact, I also called Governor Huang and said that I wanted to visit his home, but he refused.
I think maybe he did this because he was worried about the negative impact. Demao, I think it’s the same if you go to his office to report to him. Governor Huang actually doesn’t care what you give him. He sees
It's about feelings and your loyalty to him. Recently I gave him some souvenirs, and I always gave them to his driver. In fact, it's the same. We can only get used to the leader's way of doing things, not the way he handles things.
Let him get used to us. You think so?"
He gave me a thumbs up, "Feng Xiao, your words made me suddenly happy. I really love you! We haven't seen each other for just a few months, and you have made a lot of progress. Why didn't I think of that? That's great.
Already."
I said humbly: "Forget it, in fact you know everything, it's just that you are not your true self in Lushan. I call it clear bystanders."
He laughed and pointed at me, "Modest, you are too modest!"
I also laughed. At this moment, I really felt as if we had returned to the close friendship we had in the past.
After taking a sip of tea, I asked him: "De Mao, are your parents in good health? How are Ding Xiang and the child?"
He replied: "It's okay. Anyway, that's it. Which family doesn't live like this?"
I immediately reminded him: "De Mao, Ding Xiang is a university teacher. She is different from other women. At least she may have more pursuits than ordinary women. So I think you should spend more time communicating with her."
He shook his head and said: "Look at me, I am busy working outside all day long, and I rarely have time even on weekends."
At this moment, I seemed to understand why Dingxiang wanted to talk to me on QQ that day. I sighed in my heart and said to Kang Demao: "De Mao, we are old classmates and old friends. I feel
There is something I should say to you. Demao, have you ever heard of such a saying? A wife is either beaten away by her man, or she is ignored by her man and runs away. I think this is the case
It makes sense. Your wife cannot be beaten, nor can you be ignored. She has relied on you for life. Think about it, after a couple gets married, it is not just for raising children, right? "
He smiled and said: "Is it as serious as you said? There are so many couples and so many families, who doesn't live like this? Women should take care of their children at home and help their husbands honor their parents. This is their duty
What is the purpose of men working hard outside? Isn’t it just to have face and money to spend on their women?”
I didn't expect that he was thinking like this, but I immediately felt that it was not surprising that he had such thoughts. This concept is actually very influenced by the previous generation of families. Originally, I wanted to continue to say a few words to him.
, but I suddenly realized that no matter how much I talked today, it would not have any effect. After all, this is a problem of concepts and consciousness, and it is something deeply rooted in a person's bones.
I could only sigh in my heart, and I also felt guilty about Dingxiang. After all, I was the one who introduced her to Kang Demao. But I immediately thought: In the final analysis, this is still one person's life.
It has nothing to do with me. You know, when I introduced Clove to Kandemao, it was entirely out of good intentions.
This is indeed the case. A person's destiny is really a mysterious and complicated matter that none of us can predict, let alone control.
Moreover, now I realize that some things about Kang Demao have never changed at all. He is a bit selfish, so selfish that he only considers his own personal feelings. Of course, I am also selfish, but I am never as selfish as him.
Degree.
But it is impossible for me to tell him such a thing, let alone accuse him. Again, this is actually something deep in a person's bones.
We didn't talk about anything else that day. We just sat together for a while and then left the teahouse. However, I woke up a lot from the wine.
During New Year's Day, I went to the home of the old director of the Provincial Admissions Office. I didn't have a meal at his house, but I just went to give him some local products and a few bottles of wine.
He was very emotional, "Xiao Feng, I have worked with so many people in my life, and promoted many cadres, but you are the one who is really good to me."
I smiled and said, "Old man, you are good to me, so I should repay you. Don't turn this relationship upside down."
He laughed, "You...by the way, have you contacted Xiaochen recently?"
I shook my head and said, "I've been too busy recently. She doesn't need my help with anything. After all, she is in the same age group as the students at school. Why should I get involved when I have nothing to do?"
He sighed and said: "You... forget it, you can't force fate. But Xiaochen hasn't been in love until now. Hey! I'm really worried about this child."
I smiled and comforted him and said, "You, young people nowadays have their own ideas. It's useless for you to be anxious."
On this day, when I just came out of the old director's house, I received a call from Lin Yi, "Feng Xiao, Xiaojie is back. If we are free in the evening, let's have a meal together. I know you are in the provincial capital these two days.
We’re going to treat you inside. If you have plans today, let’s do it tomorrow. Is that okay?”
I asked him: "When is Dong Jie going to the set again?"
He said: "I'll go after the festival. How about it? Do you have time?"
I know that under normal circumstances he will not make excessive demands on me. I feel that this should be Dong Jie's expectation. I said: "Uncle Lin, let's do this. I will call you back after making arrangements. Is that okay?"
He smiled and said, "Okay. Then I'll wait for your call."
I immediately called Mayor Wu, "Old Wu, I originally arranged to invite the leaders of the Provincial Department of Transportation to dinner tonight, but something suddenly happened at home, so I have to ask you to attend today's dinner on my behalf.
You are in charge of this part anyway. Please."
He said: "I also have an arrangement today...Okay, let me rearrange it here."
I knew he would definitely agree, because he is a very good partner. I smiled and said to him: "Thank you very much. Please contact the person in charge of our Municipal Transportation Commission, they are responsible for the arrangements for tonight. At the same time,
Please explain this to the leaders of the Provincial Department of Transportation for me, and offer them a glass of wine on my behalf."
He said: "Mayor Feng, I think it is best for you to call the leader of the Provincial Department of Transportation in person and explain it. The Provincial Department of Transportation is too important to this department and our Shangjiang City. Our road reconstruction funds
They gave a lot."
I said: "It would be better for you to apologize to them on my behalf for such a thing, because I have no better reason to explain to him, unless the leaders of the province have temporary arrangements today. Lao Wu, don't you think so?"
He said: "Okay then."
Only then did I reply to Lin Yi, "Uncle Lin, I have already arranged for someone else to attend today's work banquet. Let's do it tonight."
He asked me: "Is the banquet you have at work tonight important?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "I'm inviting the leaders of the Provincial Department of Communications to dinner. If it's important, it's important. If it's not important, it's not that important."
He said: "How about changing it to tomorrow?"
I replied: "Just for today. Tomorrow we will invite the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee General Office to dinner. Secretary Rong arranged it. I have to attend. It's okay. I will invite them again before the year anyway."
He said: "Okay then. Just tonight."
To be honest, his words just now touched my heart because his words expressed his true concern for me.
It doesn't take much to express one's concern for others. Sometimes just one sentence is enough. Of course, such words cannot be too deliberate.
In the evening, I went to the restaurant that Lin Yi told me. I found that Lin Yi rarely ate in his restaurant. Maybe he was tired of the smell of his restaurant. (To be continued)
