Chapter 463

Only then did my father return to his natural state. I know that alcohol also played a role in this. My father is an old comrade, and he has the same normal behavior as most of us Chinese: afraid of officials and leaders.

My father said: "You are the county magistrate, so you should understand this kind of thing better than me."

"You are an old comrade, and I want to learn more from you. Uncle Feng, now that you are the general manager, you will need to personally implement the old city reconstruction project in the future. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me directly. Although I

You are the county magistrate, but in terms of personal experience, you still lack something. You are an old comrade, and we will be very grateful if you can teach us young people more. You see, today your son, as well as Sun Dong,

This is..." He pointed at Dong Jie and said.

Dong Jie's face suddenly turned red. I guess it was because it was her first time to attend such a banquet.

"My assistant. Her name is Dong Jie." Sun Lulu answered for her.

"Yes. There is also Xiao Dong." County Magistrate Long smiled at Dong Jie, and then continued to say to his father: "Look, all of us here today are young people. If you tell us your feelings about life, we will all benefit.

Very rich."

I think County Magistrate Long may not really want to ask my father such a question, but I understand one thing: his purpose in doing so is actually a form of flattery and respect.

My father had no choice but to say, "Actually, it's very simple, that is, you must have a bottom line in everything you do. Can you tell me what China lacks most now? In my opinion, what we lack most is the bottom line. This is terrible. A person is nothing without a bottom line.

Everyone dares to do it. In a society, if there is no bottom line, anything will happen. Without the bottom line, companies will cheat, scholars will mistake deer for horses, officials will take bribes and pervert the law, the police will torture to extract confessions, and the courts will disregard human lives. So, no matter who

Whatever you do, you should pay attention to the bottom line. When doing business, you should clearly state the true price and do not deceive others; when doing knowledge, you should be well-founded in what you say and stick to it; when you are an official, you should not take away people's wealth or hurt innocent people;

Don’t betray your friends, don’t betray your conscience. It’s very simple, it just depends on whether we are doing this.”

County Magistrate Long immediately praised: "That's so well said. I have benefited a lot today, and I really feel like I have been enlightened. Thank you so much!"

After all, he is the county magistrate, so everyone at the table is relatively reserved, so he is almost the one who dominates the entire dinner. Although I don't feel restrained, because my father is here, I rarely speak.

It's best to speak less when your superiors or elders are present, otherwise it's called arrogance. If you take all the limelight, wouldn't it be embarrassing for your leaders and elders? Therefore, correcting your position is the most important thing.

How we behave in life does not require someone to teach us everything. The key is to understand by ourselves.

Sun Lulu rarely spoke. She always listened with a smile. It was obvious that she also knew the rules. Of course, Dong Jie didn't speak much, maybe because of shyness or restraint. The office director only occasionally interjected,

And every time he interrupted, it was just when the atmosphere was about to cool down. I could see that the office director of the county government office was an even more understanding person. People in the officialdom know more rules than ordinary people.

You know better than ordinary people when to take a break and when to stand at attention.

After dinner, County Magistrate Long personally took us out. When we got outside the restaurant, he said to his father: "Mr. Feng, I want to talk to Dr. Feng about other things. Is that okay?"

It was obvious that his father was still not used to his new title, so he was stunned for a moment, and then he responded, "You guys go and talk."

I didn’t expect that County Magistrate Long’s name for my father would change so quickly, but after thinking about it, I understood: He is the county magistrate here after all, and public and private matters must be distinguished. And the county is so big, many things will be spread out immediately.

of.

Since my father agreed to me, he didn’t have much to say, so he asked Sun Lulu to take my father home. Sun Lulu said to me: “The car has been prepared for him, it’s the company’s Mercedes-Benz. We are now recruiting drivers.

It will be convenient in a few days.”

I nodded and said to her sincerely: "Thank you. You are so considerate."

"You don't need to thank me. This is work." She smiled brightly at me.

I immediately felt that her smile had a great lethality on me, which made me dare not look directly into her eyes. I immediately turned around and asked Magistrate Long: "Where are we going?"

"There is a teahouse right next to it. The environment is not bad." He said to me with a smile.

So we walked towards the teahouse he mentioned. The weather is slowly getting warmer now, and it feels very comfortable to walk on the streets of the county town after drinking. There are obviously more people on the streets than usual, and people keep chasing the dragon along the way.

The county magistrate said hello. He always smiled slightly and ignored them. No one greeted me along the way. I thought it must be because I had been away from here for a long time. I suddenly felt like his secretary.

After returning to my hometown this time, I felt very strange to my hometown. I found that many young people in their twenties did not recognize me. I suddenly remembered that they were still in their teens when I left here to go to college.

Of course, I don't know them anymore. From this, I feel like a world has changed, and I suddenly feel that life is really flying by like a dream.

This teahouse is really good. It is a stilted building right by the river. Below you can see the flowing river water. You can only hear the sound but not the shape. But it feels good to sit here.

Of course we were sitting in an elegant room, with a pot of Longjing tea and two teacups. The fragrance of tea hit my face, which made me feel refreshed after drinking. Now I feel that life in a small county town is also very good, if there are no complicated things

As for business, it would be a very pleasant thing to come here every day to make a pot of tea, and then sit here quietly to drink tea and listen to the river water.

County Magistrate Long was smiling at me, "Little brother, you have a problem with me, brother."

Although there was blame in his words, there was nothing on his expression. I thought he might just be doing this to break our initial silence. So I said, "I'm sorry, I really don't want to give you anything."

You cause trouble."

"You're just talking politely. You and Kang Mi invited us to dinner last time when we were in the provincial capital, and you also contributed to such a big thing. No matter from which perspective, I should be grateful to you.

."He said.

I smiled faintly: "County Magistrate Long, you are too polite. This guy Kang Demao is also serious. I am not an official. I am just going home to visit relatives. Why should I alarm you?"

He shook his head and said: "Brother Feng, what's wrong with you? I think Kang Mi does one thing better than you, that is, he always says hello to us every time he comes home. Even though he is now Governor Huang's

Secretary, but I still maintain close contact with us. My county magistrate is just a title. In fact, I hope to become private friends with young talents like you. Brother Feng, I admire you very much.

Your brother is young and promising, and is enthusiastic about people. I can see that you are not only forthright, but also very principled. Therefore, I like to make you a friend. I don’t know if you think I am worthy of your relationship.

?”

I felt something was wrong when he praised me like this. As the saying goes, if you want to take something, you must give it first. An official like him will never flatter someone for no reason, and now he alone has called me here to drink.

Tea, and the topic we talked about was just a personal relationship between two people. So I immediately paid attention.

Kang Demao had exposed everything about me when we were in the provincial capital last time, so I felt that Magistrate Long must have something to ask for when he came to talk to me alone today.

Some things are unavoidable and cannot be refused. So I think it is better to clarify the matter directly instead of guessing in my mind. I don’t want the two of us to waste time by guessing riddles like this. Because I suddenly thought of Yu Min

She was alone in a hotel. She was not familiar with my hometown, and a person would feel lonely after suddenly arriving in an unfamiliar environment.

"County Magistrate Long, if you have anything, just tell me directly. As long as I can do it, I will try my best. But I am just a small doctor, and my ability or scope may be very limited. If I can't help

Please forgive me for what you said." So I said.

But he suddenly laughed and said, "It's okay. You finally came back once, how could I cause you trouble?"

Now I was suddenly confused: Which song was he singing? I looked at him doubtfully.

He smiled and said: "Brother Feng, I know you have a lot of connections in the province. To be honest, you are the most outstanding talent in our county. Your father-in-law is the richest man in Jiangnan, and

You have so many connections in the officialdom. The key thing is that you act in a low-key manner. Although you are only a doctor, you have energy that many officials do not have. To tell you the truth, brother, I really want to make you a friend.

Maybe you will understand me as time goes by. I like to do practical things and don’t like to do those frivolous things. If you think that I am still worth dating, we can definitely become good friends and we will be better friends with each other in the future.

It’s good to have someone to take care of you. Brother, I wonder if you understand what I’m saying?”

I felt that I understood what he said very clearly, but I felt hesitation and nervousness in his heart because he repeated what he said before.

You know, he is the county magistrate, and a person in his position is absolutely eloquent, and there should be no repetition of words like this. From this, I feel that he must not have fully expressed his truest thoughts. Perhaps

I shouldn't have made it clear just now, which made him feel wary or embarrassed.

So I smiled and said to him: "County Magistrate Long, if you have anything to do, just tell me directly. Really, we are old acquaintances, so there is no need to be so polite. Do you think so?"

He suddenly looked very happy, "Since my brother has said this, I will speak out. Brother, do you know what is the best way to succeed in doing things now?" (To be continued)
