Chang Bailing looked at me, "You can't do it, right?"
I exhaled a long breath, because just now I was immersed in Yuan Chonghuan's tragic story. I didn't feel ashamed, because he was a hero, and I was just an insignificant mortal. I shook my head, "Yes,
I can not do it."
She immediately laughed, "Then why do you still think so much?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "But..."
She looked at me and said, "There is another way to solve this matter."
I was suddenly pleasantly surprised, "Oh? Then please tell me."
She smiled faintly and then said: "To solve the problems I mentioned earlier, it must be done by people with huge power. On the one hand, those officials with problems have no choice but to help themselves in the face of powerful power.
Submission, on the other hand, the huge power can control the propaganda machine to serve the needed public opinion guidance, and the people will not misunderstand because of this. I heard that Secretary Fang admires you very much, you can report the matter to Secretary Fang, as long as he
If you come forward, this matter will no longer be a problem."
I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "This is a rumor. When did Secretary Fang admire me? I only got together twice with him. He asked me some questions, and I answered him quite satisfactorily. Is this just
Call it appreciation? But what you just said makes sense, maybe I really should report this to him."
But she was looking at me with a strange smile, which made me feel uncomfortable, "Why are you looking at me like this? Can't I go find him? Didn't you say that only he can do this?"
This matter has been solved."
She was still looking at me and smiling, "Have you ever thought about it? If you go to him, wouldn't you be pushing this problem in front of him? Of course, you can make up your own mind about this matter. But I think it should still be done
Let me remind you: You must not tell Governor Huang or Minister Lin about this matter. Think about it, if you tell Governor Huang and Minister Lin about this matter, what will they do if they find out?
?Turn it over or leave it alone? I have already told you the truth behind this. So, since you can’t even go to Governor Huang or Minister Lin to tell him, what about Secretary Fang? You can guarantee that after you report to him
He will definitely come forward to take care of this matter? He took care of it, and it was taken care of, and the losses of the people were minimized. Of course you have done a great job. But what if he also finds it difficult? Then aren't you taking the trouble away?
Have you offended him? Think about it, will he bother you in his heart? "
I shook my head and said, "Secretary Fang shouldn't be the kind of person you imagined, right? In my opinion, he is a very principled leader."
She immediately laughed, "Do you really know him that well? He is the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. Not even you, even Governor Wang, can figure out his true inner thoughts. You are still too idealistic. But.
Feng Xiao, I understand you, because you graduated from college and have not been in officialdom for too long, so you have more idealistic things in your heart, which is normal. "
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You're right, I am such a person. Now I understand, it's a thousand words, but a thousand words. In short, you think the only thing I should do in this matter is to pretend to be confused, right?
?”
She asked me back: "Isn't it?"
We ate this meal for more than an hour. I felt that I had gained a lot, but I became even more confused - did I really give up like this? Do I really have the heart to watch things develop to the point where they are finally out of control?
After returning home, I kept thinking about this matter. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Chang Bailing had really changed. I could truly feel that every word she said to me was for my sake.
But I think her idea is still a bit too extreme. Now that I think about it, this matter is not as serious and complicated as she said. At least I can tell Lin Yu about it first. Lin Yu knows about it.
It doesn't matter. If I don't go out and talk about it, it will be fine if she doesn't talk about it. In this case, I can also listen to her thoughts.
I have always known Chang Bailing relatively well. Although she has a weird temper, she is still very cautious in character. In recent years, many things have happened to the person in charge of our country's financial system, and her caution is also a necessity.
.I remember she once told me that her salary was also based on an annual salary system and her income was considerable, so she did not want to make mistakes on financial issues. However, her position determined that she would often be subject to various temptations, so
The only way to protect yourself is to stay alert at all times. Because of this, her caution will become a normal state, and it will even be amplified by her subconscious mind without knowing it.
But one thing she reminded me was right, and that was to tell me not to be impulsive. She didn’t want me to become a tragic figure. Of course, tragic figures will be known and understood by people many years later, but for the tragic figure himself, that
But it is a huge disaster. Human life is so short, and it cannot be copied or started over. Once a person has experienced such a hardship, this life is basically over. The next life? Only the devil knows whether we will have a next life.
!
Therefore, now I have completely given up my original ideas, and I also understand that idealism may harm others and myself. There are too many injustices and even filthy things in this world. As a mortal, I am not convinced
There is nothing you can do at all. And there seems to be a deeper meaning in Chang Bailing's words: if you want to do more good things, you must make yourself stronger and have greater power.
Or, should I ask Lin Yu again? See if she has any better ideas? After all, Chang Bailing is a person in the financial system. She has a more thorough understanding of the problem of illegal fund-raising, but she may not necessarily also deal with officialdom.
A master at something.
But I remember Lin Yu told me that during the Spring Festival she would go to visit grassroots party branches, and I didn’t know when she would be able to come back.
I still gave her a call. Fortunately, she told me that she would be back tomorrow. I said I would go to her house to find her tomorrow night. She was very happy and said, "Okay, I really don't want to have this big holiday."
I'm alone at home alone."
I smiled and asked her: "Sister, what do you want to eat? I will bring it to you tomorrow."
She said: "Just buy some fresh vegetarian vegetables. I have all kinds of cured meats at home."
I smiled and said, "That's true. If you eat a lot of meat and fish every day, it would be better to eat more vegetarian dishes."
It was estimated that she was very free at this time, or was resting in the room, because she had no intention of hanging up the phone immediately. She then asked me softly: "Are you in the city every day during the Spring Festival?"
I replied: "Yes. I just had a meal at home on New Year's Eve."
She said: "Your old mother and children are at home, but you don't know how to take them to the river? You can't go home to eat, so how about letting the elderly and children see you every day?"
Her words made me feel ashamed again, "Yes. I had dinner with my family on New Year's Eve, but returned to the city early the next morning, and I couldn't even take my mother to the cemetery with her children.
Accompanying me, now my mother has taken her children back to her hometown. When I returned home today, I suddenly felt that everything was empty. I didn't feel it on weekdays, but now I know that there is no one in the house, and a person can be so lonely.
."
She said: "Ah? Are you alone at home?"
I said: "Yes, my mother went back to her hometown with her children. I was still in the city during the day, and I made an appointment with Chang Bailing for dinner in the evening and consulted her on some things. There is one thing I can't make up my mind about, so I thought
I'll ask you when you come back."
She asked me: "Can you tell me briefly on the phone, what is it?"
I thought about it and said, "I'll tell you in person when you come back. I can't explain it clearly on the phone."
She said: "That's it. Tomorrow, you cook the food at your house and I come to your house to eat. How about it?"
I was very happy, "Okay. I came back from the city earlier. Sister, you like to eat our Shangjiang cured meat, right? I won't make other dishes, and I will make cabbage and boiled potato tofu.
I’m also going to make two kinds of cold dishes. Do you think this will work?”
She smiled and said, "That's great. I've been eating a lot of meat and fish every day lately. I really want to eat some vegetarian dishes."
We chatted for a while, and then said goodbye to each other and went to sleep. Now, I am in a very good mood, and I no longer have many worries in my heart, because I know that Lin Yu will definitely help me solve the problems I am facing.
.
Now, I have completely become dependent on her.
I quickly fell asleep and had a dreamless night. When I woke up the next day, I felt energetic. Even the driver Xiao Sui noticed the difference in me today. He looked at me and said: "Mayor Feng.
, you look in high spirits today..."
I smiled and asked him: "Isn't it the same a few days ago?"
He shook his head and said: "The past few days were not as good as today's spirit."
I laughed and said, "Xiao Sui, we'd better come back early in the afternoon. By the way, you go to the vegetable market and help me buy some seasonal vegetables, as well as our Shangjiang potato curd, which is tofu made with gallbladder. After buying it, put it away
