It was already after five o'clock in the afternoon when we finished talking about this matter. Mayor Wu smiled and said to me, "How about it? I'll give you a treat tonight?"
I smiled and shook my head and said, "No, thank you. I have to go home. I haven't told my family about going abroad yet. Why should you and I be so polite?"
He smiled and said: "That's okay. I know you don't care about formal things. Then I wish you all the best."
On the way back to the provincial capital, I suddenly thought of something: During this period of time when I am not at home, who will take care of things at home?
It’s not that I worry too much, but I have to take this matter into consideration. My mother is older, but my child is still young. The nanny is from the country, and she can’t handle many things. What if something happens at home?
What should I do if there is an emergency? I have never considered this issue before, because my father was still alive when I went abroad last time. Although I often traveled on business after my father passed away, it was still in China after all. If it really happened,
If there is any situation, I can rush back to Jiangnan immediately. But this time when I go to Australia, if there is something urgent, I don’t just want to return to China immediately. Even at the fastest speed, it will take more than ten hours.
It's definitely not possible to find Tong Yao, she is too busy. She is also a person who takes her work very seriously. But now I don't understand something, and it's hard to ask her - since she rejected me, why did she
Why not marry Fang Qiang as soon as possible? Is she still struggling with the relationship between me and her?
No, that's not the case. I guess it's because of Tong Yangxi's incident. Yes, this incident has formed a big knot in her heart.
Ruan Zhenzhen can't do it even more. Maybe she is the most free person, but I don't trust her at all. This woman takes money too seriously, and she might cause more problems because of it.
What about Ruan Jie? That’s not possible either. I don’t know why, but after Min Sisi told me about the case last time, I never felt at ease. And because of this, I didn’t dare to have anything to do with Ruan Jie again.
touch.
Only now do I realize that I don’t seem to have a true friend. The true friend I’m talking about is actually very simple, that is, someone who can entrust one’s family to the other person.
At this time, when I thought about this matter, I suddenly felt a kind of sadness in my heart. But I knew in my heart that the cause of this situation was not other people's, but my own problem.
So, I thought of my own driver.
When we were having dinner at home in the evening, I told my mother that I was going abroad tonight. My mother said, "You often go on business trips. I'm used to it. It's not a big deal."
Of course I would not express my concerns so clearly in front of my mother. I said: "Mom, what I mean is that if anything happens at home while I am abroad, you can call my driver. I
I have already told the driver, and I will leave the driver’s phone number at home for a while. Xiao Sui is very nice, he will be on call. I have already told the secretary-general of our municipal government that during my absence,
Xiao Sui is in the provincial capital and can't go out."
My mother blamed me and said, "Isn't that bad of you? You are a leader, how can you let your driver not go to work for us?"
I know that my mother is also the kind of person with very orthodox ideas, so I have to tell her a reasonable reason. I said: "Mom, do you know why I want to change drivers? My previous driver
Xiao Cui, because he was sent to drive a car for a leader of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference when I was on a business trip, and he got into a car accident. This incident almost made it impossible for us to get off the stage. We just had to pay the money, but Xiao Cui was almost fired because of it.
Later, it was me who transferred him to another unit to solve the problem. So, after I left this time, I didn’t want something like this to happen to Xiao Sui.”
But my mother disapproved and said: "You are the mayor, and you don't allow the people below you to send your drivers out casually. Do the people below you dare to do that? It's obviously because you are not strict in your management."
Only then did I realize that my mother was not confused, and I hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, it is true that I had problems with management before. But my work vehicle was provided to me by the state, but I don't think that vehicle can only be used
Only I can use it. It would not be good to say this. So, I simply asked Xiao Sui to leave the car in the provincial capital and not drive it back. Of course, I must have selfish motives for doing this. I am not
Are you worried about things at home?"
Mother smiled and said: "Anyway, you have a reason. Well, it's up to you. Nowadays, private use of buses is also very common, as long as it doesn't affect you. Since you have arranged it this way, I won't say anything else.
.But nothing will happen to us. Now I take the children to and from school by myself. You don’t have to worry about anything."
After listening to what my mother said, I felt very happy. My mother is much more open-minded than my father, and she tends to follow the crowd when it comes to some issues.
Now sometimes I can't help but think about my father's life. To be honest, sometimes I really feel worthless for him. My father has been an upright person in his life, and he can't stand many things, and he himself also sticks to his principles.
, but people like him are not reused. Whenever I think of such things, I can't help but think: Is this my father's fault or some other problem?
In fact, this is not a simple problem. To be precise, it should be caused by the imperfection of our system.
But its impact is very huge, and this impact also radiates to our entire society - honest people suffer, upright people suffer, and people who do not follow principles can have everything... In the long run, the values of our society will also
It will develop in a deformed direction. This is a very terrible thing for a country, or even a nation.
And now, this terrible situation is already happening.
After eating at home, I started to pack my things.
I took the time to check the basic situation of Australia during the day, which is also a habit I have before every trip.
From the information I looked up, I learned that Australia is located in the southern hemisphere. It is bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the east and the Indian Ocean to the west. It is a beautiful place surrounded by seas on three sides. Australia is between 10 and 40 degrees south latitude, making it the smallest country across latitudes.
, so the temperature distribution in Australia is relatively simple. The Tropic of Cancer crosses the central part of the continent. Most of the area is in the tropics and subtropics. There is very little rainfall every year and the desert area is very large. Therefore, the temperature in Australia is relatively high and the weather conditions are relatively stable.
, the climate difference is very small.
In addition, Australia is a complete continent, although there is not much difference in temperature throughout the year, and the seasons in Australia are exactly opposite to those in Asia. Its summer is from December to February of next year, and autumn is from March to May.
Therefore, Australia is very warm this season. I thought about it and immediately decided to bring only a small suitcase with a few books in it.
In addition, I also looked up Australia’s specialty gifts and finally visited those tourist attractions.
In fact, for me, going abroad once is also a very troublesome thing. The trouble is that when I return to my country, I need to bring some gifts for my friends around me, and the choice of gifts is a headache.
It's not just about money, but what you should consider more is making others like you.
Sending a gift is not a small thing. It is definitely impossible not to give it. If you give it, you must also consider the identity of the other party and my own identity. But when I read the information, I felt much more relaxed, because
There are many unique Australian gifts, and you should be able to get them.
For example, I can buy a high-end wool coat for Lin Yu and exquisite carvings for Governor Huang. Others are easier to deal with, such as red wine, exquisite glass products, etc.
I will consider it. Besides, Hong Ya will be asked to give me some reference opinions when the time comes.
I almost slept on the plane because I became calmer after getting on the plane.
I woke up twice in the middle of the journey. Earlier I found Guan Qin still reading a book, but when I woke up the second time, I found that she had also fallen asleep. (To be continued)
