He sighed and said: "I know that we are all human beings, and humans are animals with emotions. For a person to be truly ruthless, that is more difficult than anything else.
In fact, you have done a very good job. When Boss Lin wanted to invest in our Shangjiang City and try to win our city's real estate development and old city renovation projects, you were the first to raise objections at the Standing Committee. This is not someone else.
It can be done.
Thinking about it now, Boss Lin actually underestimated the development prospects of our Shangjiang City. Maybe at that time, he did not expect that our Shangjiang City would have the current development, so he opened his mouth like that.
This person is like that, he is too controlling. Xiao Feng, you may not know him yet, but his biggest regret in life may be that he was not able to enter an official career, because in his heart, he always felt that his status as a businessman was low.
of.
But it’s no wonder. In his business experience, he always relied on officials’ faces to act, so he must have a lot of inferiority in his heart.”
I looked at him in surprise, thinking that this old man was really unusual. I had already analyzed Lin Yi's mentality, and it seemed to be like this. The old man in front of me was a scholar, and he shouldn't have
To analyze other people's hearts. Now I discovered that he can see into a person's heart so clearly. In the final analysis, this is because his rich life experience has already given him this ability.
I smiled and said: "Old man, you are looking up to me too much. In fact, judging from the current situation, I did a great thing for my father-in-law when I opposed that matter. Just think about it, if he really did
If he invested money in us, wouldn't his current difficulties be even greater? His business has been spread out wide enough. If he had really made large-scale investment in us, his company would have already been established by now.
We are in financial crisis."
But he shook his head, "Xiao Feng, I don't think so. If that were really the case, Shangjiang City would suffer the most losses, and our Shangjiang City would not have the development it has today. If that were really the case, Shangjiang City would not have the development it has today."
, it is difficult for you, the mayor, to secure your current position. So, God is fair, and your integrity and selflessness have enabled you to obtain such rewards today. Xiao Feng, do you think I am right?"
His words shook my heart immediately, because I had never thought about that matter like this. The old man was right, this is actually a cause and effect relationship. I nodded, "Old man, you said it very well.
Sorry. I have never thought about such a problem from your perspective. Thank you, your words today will be useful to me for a lifetime."
He said with a "hehe" smile: "I am very happy that you can understand this." Then he glanced at the wooden box next to him and said, "Take this thing away in a while. This thing can help us go up the river."
To contribute to the development of the city, this is where it should end up.”
I couldn't help but thank him, and immediately asked him: "How much do you want for this thing? I will transfer the money to your account later."
I completely believe in one thing: with the old man’s deep love for his hometown and his noble character, he will never offer an outrageous price.
But he shook his head and said: "I don't want money, I want to give this thing to the government. But I don't want anyone to know about it except you."
I hurriedly said: "How is this possible? Didn't you ask me before where the money came from? I can tell you that I have discussed this matter with Secretary Rong and plan to ask our state-owned enterprises to donate.
Therefore, we will not use government financial funds. Sir, I understand your mood very much and thank you very much for this noble move. However, if you don’t want money, we cannot accept it. This thing is too expensive and we will accept it.
Ashamed."
The old man was still shaking his head and said: "Our state-owned enterprises are also in difficulty at the moment. No matter where this money comes from, it is not good, and it may have a bad impact on your career in the future. I am old, I want so much
What are you doing with money? My children all have their own jobs, and I left them a lot of property, such as my collection of other things and this old house. These properties are enough for my children to spend. Actually,
, sometimes there is no benefit to having more money, but it can easily lead to trouble. And even my children don’t know that I have this thing. After I bought it, I secretly kept it somewhere and kept it forever.
It was in an unexpected place, and I just took it out in the past two days."
I seemed to understand, "It was after I called you in Beijing that day, right? In fact, you made up your mind to give this thing to me at that time, right?"
He nodded, "Yes. But I was still a little hesitant at the time."
I looked at him and said, "Old man, I am very grateful to you from the bottom of my heart. But you must charge money, at least according to your cost price at that time, otherwise I will feel very uneasy."
He smiled and waved to me and said: "Stop talking, I have already discussed this matter with my wife. Shangjiang is the place where I was born and raised. I have never done anything for my hometown in my life."
No matter what happened, I am very happy now that I can contribute to the construction of my hometown when I am old. Xiao Feng, that's it, you take this thing, but I have a request for you."
I was very moved in my heart, and at the same time I had a kind of respect for him from the bottom of my heart. I hurriedly said calmly: "Please speak."
He looked at me and said: "Please tell Hou Dong that his hometown has not forgotten him and welcomes him back at any time. If he comes back, his teacher Liu will definitely treat him to a drink."
My eyes suddenly became moist, "Old man, I will definitely bring your words to you."
He stood up slowly, picked up the wooden box and handed it to me. I stood up hurriedly and stretched out my hands to grab it. He said to me: "Take it."
Just these three words, there was nothing else to say. I was holding the wooden box in my hand, and I suddenly felt it was so heavy. I said to the old man: "On behalf of the people of the city, thank you."
He waved his hand at me and said, "Xiao Feng, you are serious. In the final analysis, these are personal possessions. Hou Donglai likes to collect, and he has collected most of this set of things, so this thing will be more valuable in his hands."
I said to the old man: "Old man, I have to tell Secretary Rong about this matter. Please understand."
He nodded, "That's fine. But I hope this matter ends here. Please also tell Hou Donglai not to tell anyone that this thing was taken out of my hand. I am old and don't want to live another life because of this matter."
Incident."
I said: "Don't worry, I will definitely tell him, and what you wanted to say to him just now." (To be continued)
