In this way, we chatted for about ten minutes. I looked at the time and then said to him with a smile: "Secretary Tang, thank you for giving me such an opportunity today. I have a social event in the evening, so I will go first
I’m back. Once again, I wish your family a happy Spring Festival.”
He looked at me and said with a smile: "Mayor Feng, do you really have a party tonight? Why don't you just have dinner at my house. Anyway, it's a common meal at home, so we can have some drinks together."
Of course I knew that this was just a courtesy request. I smiled and said, "I really have a social event. I'll treat you to a drink some other day. I hope you can give me such an opportunity again."
He waved his hand at me and said: "Mayor Feng, please don't say that, it really offends me. Mayor Feng, you also know that my time does not belong to me at all. Let's find opportunities to talk about it in the future."
"
I smiled and said, "That's okay."
Then I walked out of the study with him, and then said hello to his family. His wife said to me: "Mayor Feng, please stay for dinner. It's already time to eat."
I hurriedly said: "I have a social event tonight. I will definitely come and bother you when I get the chance."
Secretary Tang personally walked me to his door, and I said goodbye to him.
Originally, I had no plans to ask him about that matter today. It was just a courtesy visit. I had only one purpose, that is, when I mentioned to him that I wanted to report to Secretary Fang in two days, he would not fool me.
.
This person is quite calm. When talking to me, he always keeps the topic superficial and never reveals any information to me that I don't know. I can predict that this person will have a very good future. As a provincial
He must do this for the people around the Party Secretary, and this is also the best way for him to seize his opportunities. And this can also explain one thing: Secretary Fang was very discerning in choosing him as his secretary.
This is for sure. Of course, the provincial party committee secretary has different requirements for his secretary. And as the secretary of the provincial party committee secretary, of course he has to be cautious in everything.
I also feel that as a secretary, he has unconsciously developed a sense of superiority. After all, there are many people who ask him to do things on weekdays. Even in front of me, although his words are extremely polite, but that
I can still easily feel this feeling of superiority. It is precisely because of this that I deliberately welcome and please him in front of him.
After coming out of Secretary Tang's home, I suddenly felt desolate. The warmth I felt in his home just now deeply affected me, but at this time, I didn't know where I should go.
During this Chinese New Year day, I stayed alone in this city. My mother and children had gone back to their hometown, but I suddenly found that I had nowhere to go.
Should I go home alone and make noodles?
On days like this, unless someone takes the initiative to call me, it is not convenient for me to disturb others.
After going downstairs, I sat in the car. My eyes were blank, and the desolation in my heart quickly enveloped my whole body and penetrated deep into my soul.
Suddenly I remembered a person, and I was overjoyed. I hurriedly took out my phone and called him, "Old director, are you at home? I'm here to wish you New Year's greetings."
The old director smiled and said: "Do you still have time to think of me? Okay, come on, let's drink together."
The haze in my heart was immediately dispelled, and I drove quickly towards the old director's house.
The cigarettes and alcohol in the car were all ready-made. Before going upstairs, I picked up two bottles of Wuliangye and two bottles of Soft China. Soon I arrived at the door of his house and knocked on the door.
"Are you here?" Chenchen was in front of me, she asked me with a smile.
"Have you been here during the Spring Festival?" I asked her in surprise.
She answered me: "Yes. The schools are on holiday and the students have gone home. My music bar has to be closed. Mayor Feng, please come in and sit down."
When I went in, I found no trace of the old director, and the old lady was not there either. I was suddenly surprised, "Where is the old director? I just called him earlier? Didn't he say he was at home?"
She smiled and answered me: "They heard that you were coming and went out to buy groceries."
I smiled and said, "What kind of food should I buy? Just eat whatever you want during the Spring Festival." At this point, I suddenly realized that the old director left deliberately. It was obvious that he wanted to leave Chenchen and I alone.
space. Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but smile bitterly in my heart.
But since I'm already here, I have to talk to Chenchen for a while first. After I sat down, I asked her: "I've never been able to ask you, how much money can your music bar make in a year?
Haha! Don't mind, maybe my question is a bit vulgar, but after all, you rely on this for a living, so I just ask you out of concern."
She nodded slightly, "Thank you. In the past, I just liked music and could support myself at the same time. This was my only thought at the time. But now I have changed my original thoughts because I feel tired.
.I think I told you about this last time."
I nodded, "Yeah."
She continued: "Now I have an idea, which is to make money and travel around the world. Go to the Golden Hall in Austria, the Sydney Opera House, Paris, and the Metropolitan Opera House in the United States. In short, I just want to enjoy music from all over the world.
The birthplace of various places. My own singing qualifications are very average, but I can appreciate it if I go there. I like music, it can sublimate my soul."
I smiled and said, "You will get at least one million yuan for this trip. You need to buy tickets to go to the Vienna Golden Hall, the Sydney Opera House, the Metropolitan Museum of America, etc."
She also laughed, "Yes. Earn it slowly."
I said, "I think our country still has very good music. In the past, "Liu Sanjie", "Five Golden Flowers" and so on, the music in them was good. In fact, it was also excavated from folk music.
.right?"
She smiled and said: "That's right. But I prefer classic foreign operas."
I shook my head and said: "Actually, whether a classic is a classic or not, that's just a matter of understanding. Haha! I'm just talking about this issue casually and taking it for granted? I think you can use the free time of students during winter and summer vacations now.
Go to some places in the country and maybe you can get a feel for it."
She smiled and said: "This is a good idea. It seems that we can't stay at home now. If we stay at home any longer, we really don't want to go out."
I also laughed, "Yes. You are so young, you should go out more. Making money is not the ultimate goal, enjoying life is."
She immediately laughed and said, "You really look like a philosopher today."
I hurriedly said: "I'm not a philosopher, I'm talking about my truest thoughts. What the philosopher's words actually say is the most common truth in our lives."
She kept laughing, "Oh! Your words are more like a philosopher."
I waved to her and smiled: "Don't say that, why do I think you are mocking me?"
She hurriedly said: "No. Don't worry too much."
I laughed "haha", "I won't worry too much. Aren't we just joking?"
She then asked me: "Mayor Feng, how did you spend this Spring Festival? There must be a lot of people coming to pay you New Year's greetings, right?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "You are wrong. I don't really like my subordinates coming to wish me New Year's greetings. It's not that I'm pretending to be noble, but I really don't like it. My subordinates come to my house and give me things and red envelopes.
They are also troublesome. You said this is a New Year holiday, should I reject it or accept it? If you reject it, you will offend others. If you accept it, you will be short-handed. Maybe some troubles will come to your door in the future."
She smiled and said: "I didn't expect that you, the mayor, are really honest. But it's true, you don't lack those things, so there is no need to make that kind of mistake."
I shook my head and said: "This is not actually a mistake. Everyone does this during the New Year and holidays. The main reason is that I don't like that. But this makes me feel like a loner, for example today.
, I was alone at home and had no place to eat, so I called my old director to come and get some food."
She looked at me in surprise, "No way? You are the mayor, how can you not have a place to eat? By the way, where is your family?"
I briefly told her about my arrangements during the Spring Festival, and then sighed and said: "Now I realize that I don't even have a close friend. But fortunately I have the old director, otherwise I would really have lost my mind today."
I don’t know where I should go. So, this is all something I did on my own. If I often went to interact with people below or with colleagues, how could it be like this? But I really don’t like to go there too much.
I don’t want to date people, because I have to drink when I’m dating. After drinking, I wake up with a headache and stomachache. I just feel bored. When I have nothing to do, how good is it to read a book and have a rest? Haha! Look at what I’m doing today.
What's wrong? Why have you become nagging like an old lady?" (To be continued)
