The moment Lin Yu called me, I suddenly became nervous and asked immediately: "How is the situation?"
She said: "You have a party tonight, right? You can contact me after dinner and we will meet. Or this way, you can go straight up the mountain after dinner. I also have a party here tonight, but I guess
It will be over before you do, and I will go directly to the mountain when the time comes, and you will come right after."
Of course I won't object.
I was still wondering just now: With her always steady character, how could she call me directly to talk about such a thing? It turned out that she was making an appointment with me for an interview in the evening.
But after she suddenly called me, she made me feel very unhappy, because everyone has curiosity, especially things like this, which made me feel itchy. But I
I also knew in my heart that this matter should never be discussed casually on the phone, because it was too important and involved such a high-level big shot.
When Lin Yu called me, I had already arrived at the place where we would have dinner. We were treating guests today, so as the hosts, we should arrive first, not to mention that I should go and wait for Secretary Rong first. I couldn't let her arrive first.
Then she waited for me there, and then she and I waited together for the arrival of the guests.
Although this is a small matter, such a small thing cannot be ignored because it is a rule. The subordinates greet their superiors respectfully, and this rule cannot be mistaken.
In fact, we just drank in the evening, and the purpose was very simple, just to strengthen the relationship between the two parties. This is actually easy to understand: the provincial party committee general office is the person next to the provincial party committee leaders, and building a good relationship with them will open up the relationship with the provincial party committee leaders.
contact channels.
Secretary Rong also drank a lot of wine in the evening. At the wine table, she changed from her usual poise and chatted and laughed with the secretary-general and deputy secretaries-general of the Provincial Party Committee Office. She looked like a subordinate.
But it is true that the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee General Office was originally our leader, but he became a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.
I have met these secretaries-general before, and we are all acquaintances. However, I found that Secretary Rong’s relationship with them is even closer.
While we were drinking, the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee Office made a joke with Secretary Rong, "Secretary Rong, we are Secretary-Generals. Most of the Deputy Secretary-Generals have been Municipal Party Committee Secretaries before. You see, several of us have done this."
."
Everyone laughed. Everyone knew in their hearts that the Secretary-General's words contained another layer of meaning. Secretary Rong is a woman and now the Municipal Party Committee Secretary. The word "Qian" contains a very rich connotation.
Secretary Rong was not angry. Of course, she would not be angry either, because when a man and a woman are together, especially when they have a good relationship and the scene is very easy-going, it is very normal to make such a joke.
Things. I remember when Shanglongxing was still the deputy director under me, the head of a provincial department once invited us to dinner to discuss his nephew’s college entrance examination. The head was familiar with us, and he
I must have known Shanglongxing for many years. During the dinner, he went to offer Shanglongxing's wine. Shanglongxing apologetically told him that she couldn't drink today because she had a cold. The person in charge laughed and joked.
He said to her: It doesn't matter if you don't drink, then you can drink milk. I drink and you milk. In our Jiangnan dialect, "wine" and "楸" have the same pronunciation. Everyone laughed at that time. Shang Longxing also laughed, but
I still glared at him and said: You guy, what are you talking about? The person in charge laughed and said: Well, let me drink. Everyone laughed even more.
Therefore, situations like this often occur in official drinking parties. It would be abnormal for everyone not to make such jokes. On the contrary, it would mean that the relationship between everyone is not that good.
I originally thought that Secretary Rong would laugh it off, but I didn’t expect that she would immediately smile and say back to the Secretary-General, “Secretary-General, I also heard that most Secretary-Generals are promoted from municipal Party committee secretaries.”
Everyone was startled at first, and then burst into laughter. The secretary-general almost choked with laughter. He pointed at Secretary Rong and said with a smile: "Secretary Rong, I really belong to you! We can't compare with you."
Everyone had a good time that night. Because the atmosphere was so good, even though everyone drank a lot of wine, they were not too drunk.
Later, the Secretary-General said: "We are all people who can't help ourselves. Maybe a certain leader will come to us to talk about something soon, so we can't get drunk. That's it for today. Thank you, Secretary Rong, thank you
Mayor Feng."
After leaving the restaurant, Secretary Rong and I saw the guests off first. Then Secretary Rong asked me, "Mayor Feng, what other plans do you have for tonight?"
I didn’t know why she asked me like this. Did she have any other arrangements? But I thought that Lin Yu must have arrived on the mountain at this time. I said: "I also made an appointment with people from the bank to discuss project funds in the evening.
Secretary Rong, what can you do?"
She smiled and said: "Oh, it's okay. Then you can go and do your work. Originally, I made an appointment with Xiao Min to have coffee together, and I also wanted to ask you to go with me. Since you already have other arrangements, forget it. Work is for you.
Heavy."
I clearly felt the underlying meaning of her words, but I pretended not to understand. I smiled and said, "You two lesbians are drinking coffee together, why should I go?" At this point, I looked at the time.
"Secretary Rong, I'll go over there first. It's not good to be too late. It's very rude. Our most important issue next year is the raising of funds, because next year I have more projects to be launched. Now we have to
Be prepared."
She nodded, "Yes. In the next three to five years, our tasks will be very heavy. The only thing we need to do now is to work tirelessly on our own affairs, such as the reform of state-owned enterprises, urban construction, and investment in people's livelihood projects, etc.
, we all have to complete it in the shortest time. Our starting point in Shangjiang City is low, so the task is more difficult. But precisely because we are lagging behind, it is easier to achieve results. Mayor Feng, let's work hard together."
I nodded and said: "Secretary Rong, you are right. Now is the best opportunity for the development of Shangjiang City. We should seize this opportunity and start our various tasks as soon as possible."
She smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, we can not consider other issues for the time being, but you should still take time to consider your personal issues."
I waved to her with a wry smile and said, "Secretary Rong, I beg you not to talk to me about this matter again, okay? It gives me a headache every time you tell me about this matter."
She kept laughing, "Okay, okay! I won't tell you about this anymore, okay?"
I breathed a sigh of relief. Then I said goodbye to her and asked the driver to take me home first.
After I got home, I took a shower first, and at the same time I scratched my throat a few times with my hands in the toilet. I vomited out all the unabsorbed alcohol and food in my stomach. I suddenly felt more awake.
Already.
I'm going to talk to Lin Yu about something very important tonight, and I don't want to miss it because of the sudden onset of alcohol.
After I came out of the bathroom, I found my mother looking at me with concern, "Smile, did you drink too much? Mom will make you a cup of strong tea."
I shook my head and smiled: "I didn't drink much today. Mainly because there was a leader who wanted to talk to me about something tonight. I just wanted to make myself more sober."
My mother looked at me with pity, "Ah? You still want to go out? Then you just vomited... I'll cook you a bowl of noodles. Tomato and egg noodles. Okay?"
I couldn't bear to disagree with her, and now I really needed to eat something. Originally, I was going to go out to eat a bowl of noodles or glutinous rice balls or something. I said, "Okay, Mom, I want more noodle soup."
My mother looked at me lovingly and said, "You kid, just wait, I'll do it right away."
My heart suddenly felt warm. In front of me, I will always be a child. This is not only the case in my mother's eyes, but also in my heart.
My mother quickly cooked the noodles, and she fried two eggs for me. The clear soup noodles were sprinkled with a layer of chopped green onion. After seeing it, I immediately whetted my appetite. I took a bite and it tasted great. That’s me.
The kind of taste I had when I was a kid.
Nowadays, I seldom eat at home. Even when I was there, my mother would cook a big meal for me. I haven’t tasted the taste of egg noodles for a long time.
After finishing the noodles, I drank all the soup inside. My mother was very happy, "The food at home is still delicious, right?"
I smiled and said: "Mom, if I am dismissed from my post in the future, please feed me noodles every day."
My mother immediately blamed me and said, "Xiao, what are you talking about?" At this point, she suddenly looked at me in a panic, "Xiao, did something happen to you?"
Only then did I realize that the joke I just made made my mother worried. I hurriedly said: "It's okay. Isn't that good of me?"
My mother was still looking at me suspiciously, "But you just..."
I quickly apologized to her, "Mom, I'm sorry, I was joking with you. I will officially become the mayor of Shangjiang City after the year. Everything is fine now. It's okay."
Then she breathed a sigh of relief, "You really scared me. Smile, we are peaceful people, you must not do bad things, otherwise your father will not be peaceful underground."
I was most afraid that my mother would mention my father in front of me. This would make me feel uncomfortable and put me under great pressure. I said, "Mom, don't worry. It won't happen. Okay, I have to go out right away."
Yes. Mom, the noodles you cooked are so delicious."
My mother smiled kindly at me and said, "Go, go. Drive carefully."
I agreed repeatedly and quickly went out.
My mother didn’t ask me if I wanted to go home at night. She never asked me about this matter. And now my mother no longer urges me to talk about love. She knows that I don’t want her to ask more questions. In fact, my mother knows what is in my heart.
It was painful, maybe because of this she couldn't bear to ask any more questions. (To be continued)
