"Sorry, I'm late." I said, but actually I wasn't really sorry, it was just a polite word.
"I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I came here early. After staying in the office for a long time, it is very comfortable to sit in a place like this and drink tea with a view of the river. You see, I drank this pot of Longjing tea until it has no taste.
." He said with a smile.
"What you said, why do I feel that you are a bit old-fashioned?" I said with a smile, and then sat across from him, opened the bottle of wine, and poured it for him and myself.
He was staring at me with strange eyes. I looked at her in surprise, "What are you doing? Why are you looking at me like this?"
"Feng Xiao, can't you tell that you are so powerful?" He said to me with a smile, and then he picked up the wine glass and gestured to me to clink the glasses.
I ignored his gesture and continued to ask him: "You guys, don't be like this? Tell me, why did you say that?"
He drank the wine in the glass alone, and then looked at me and smiled.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so I had to drink the wine in the glass, "Is it okay now?"
"Feng Xiao, Governor Huang praised you in front of me today." He said with a smile.
I immediately understood why he came here so early today, and why he took the trouble to say those words to me on the phone. In fact, I felt this way, but this feeling was a bit vague.
.
But I'm still curious, "What did Governor Huang say?"
"He said you were very thoughtful," he replied.
"Then what?" I asked.
"What? His words don't carry enough weight?" He said, looking at me with wide eyes, "You guy, I have been following him for so long, and he has never praised me."
I was still very happy in my heart, but I said in my mouth: "You are the person next to him, do you need to be praised? He only really appreciates you when he criticizes you. Your ability has already been pretended in his heart. Don't you think so?
?”
He looked at me with surprise on his face, "Feng Xiao, have you really changed? You have become more mature and wiser than before. Hey! It's a pity that you don't engage in administration."
"Demao, don't be like this? Why do I feel goosebumps all over my body?" I said with a smile, feeling a little proud in my heart.
"What I said is true." He said seriously.
I waved to him hastily, "Come, let's drink. Demao, we won't talk about this matter today. I called you today because I have something very important that I want to trouble you with."
"Don't say the word "trouble" in front of me. Which one of us is following whom? Tell me, what's the matter?" He glared at me and said.
"Today Governor Huang attended the foundation laying ceremony of our Jiangnan Grand Theater. Later, I sat behind him during the artistic performance." So I said.
He nodded, "I know. But I don't know about you sitting behind him. It turns out that you talked to him, right? Can you tell me? What did you talk about? What made him have such a good impression of you?"
"
I immediately told him what happened today. After listening, he gave me a thumbs up and said, "Feng Xiao, you are really worthy of me. Not to mention that you said it so well, I have the guts to show you.
Here’s a toast to you.”
I smiled bitterly and said, "I was just impulsive at that time."
He shook his head, "You were not impulsive, you made full use of that opportunity. Maybe you haven't realized it yet, but in your heart, you still want to express yourself through this. Don't you admit it?
This is actually nothing. On the contrary, this should be the most basic and necessary quality for a politician, but few people can possess it. This quality is to seize opportunities. Feng Xiao, you really have this potential, so I
I think you should think about it carefully."
I smiled and said, "You make me feel embarrassed. I'm not as good as you said. Demao, we've strayed off topic again. I called you here today to discuss something with you."
He looked at me: "Just tell me."
I said: "Governor Huang likes to hear Zhuang Qing sing."
His face immediately showed an expression of surprise, "Really? But, this is normal. He likes a lot of things, calligraphy, novels, sports, poetry, anyway, he likes a lot. You
Tell me what other thoughts you have on this matter?"
"That's it..." So I told him Lin Yi's idea, and then said: "So, I want you to ask Governor Huang if he can arrange this time, and the sooner the better, because Zhuang Qing
I will return to Beijing in a few days."
He immediately began to ponder, and after a while he suddenly raised his head and said to me: "Feng Xiao, this matter may be a bit troublesome."
My heart suddenly sank, "Why do you say that?"
"Governor Huang generally does not attend private gatherings of enterprises. He is very self-disciplined. You should know this. Therefore, it is not easy for me to tell him about this matter. He will definitely criticize me for it," he replied.
.
"But it's true that he likes to hear Zhuang Qing sing." I reminded him.
"Your father-in-law wants to establish a personal relationship with Governor Huang. I know this very well, but I really can't say it in front of Governor Huang," he said.
I refused to give up and said, "You think of a way."
"You might as well ask Secretary Lin to tell him... Well, this is even more inappropriate. Let me think about it..." He frowned immediately, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and then said after a while: "
In this way, you send me a text message about this matter, and I will show Governor Huang the text message you sent me. If he does not agree to participate, there is nothing I can do."
I was suddenly surprised, "Short message? Isn't this the same?"
He shook his head, "It's completely different. If you send me a text message and then I show it to Governor Huang, firstly, it will prevent me from relaying your invitation to him, and it will allow him to directly see the information that Zhuang Qing is going to attend the dinner.
Second, since he has a good impression of you, I think at least he will not be too angry, and I will not be blamed too much by him. This is called silence is better than sound. As for how he decides, that is him
It’s something.”
I couldn't help but exclaimed, "De Mao, what a great idea!"
He also looked very proud, "Feng Xiao, do you know what leaders hate most? They hate others trying to figure out their thoughts, especially things like this. And there are some things that even if the people below can't figure them out, he will
I think you are stupid, so it is difficult to grasp this degree. This silent method is the best, as long as everyone understands it tacitly."
I nodded repeatedly, "That makes sense. It's better than ten years of studying."
He immediately asked me: "Have you told Secretary Lin about this matter?"
I nodded, secretly surprised at his cleverness.
"What did she say?" he asked.
"She doesn't believe that I can invite Governor Huang." I only told half the truth.
He looked at me suspiciously and asked, "You didn't tell her about Zhuang Qing?"
I was even more surprised, because I didn't expect him to be so smart, but I couldn't tell him the whole situation, so I had to ask him: "What do you mean?"
He immediately laughed, and then came to clink glasses, "I understand. Let's wait until Governor Huang expresses his position before we talk."
After that, we never talked about this matter again. We just drank, ate, and chatted. I specifically talked about Dingxiang helping me, and he smiled and said, "Stop talking about it. By the way, Feng Xiao, you
How is your wife now?"
I sighed: "It's not like that. I guess she might... Hey! You don't know, now she has become skinny and bones, and her whole person has completely lost her shape. I'm really worried..."
He also sighed, and then asked me: "So, have you thought about your future?"
I shook my head, "Isn't it too cruel to think about those things now? In fact, life is like this, and I may not encounter something like that one day. No matter what, I will never give up my last hope, to be honest.
, I often look back on my past, and I am really ashamed of her."
He nodded, "Feng Xiao, actually you are suffering more than others. First it was Zhao Menglei, and then your current wife. Hey! To be honest, I feel quite sympathetic to you."
I hurriedly waved my hand to him and said, "Stop talking. We finally got together, so we should be happy. In fact, I have also thought about it. Maybe I will never get married again in the future. I very much doubt that I am a gram.
My wife’s life.”
He looked at me and immediately laughed, "Feng Xiao, I didn't expect you to be so superstitious."
I shook my head, "It's not superstition. If anyone else encounters the same situation as me, they will definitely become as superstitious as me. This is a fact before me, and I have to think like that."
He kept sighing, and then we drank several times the wine.
In the end, we didn't even finish the bottle of wine because we talked about such a heavy topic. Later, he had to pay the bill, and I didn't particularly argue with him. I knew he could reimburse.
After leaving the restaurant, we got into our cars respectively. As soon as I started the car, I saw him getting out of his car and walking towards me. I stuck my head out of the car window and asked him: "
Any thing else?"
He said: "Have you thought about it? What is the content of that text message?"
I was startled, shook my head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. It should be very simple, right?" Then I thought about it carefully and realized that this text message was really not difficult to write.
I heard Kang Demao talk about sending text messages earlier. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it. I thought it was just a text message. Now when he suddenly asked me about it, I suddenly realized that it didn't seem to be the case.
, so he hurriedly said: "Then tell me how to write this message?"
He didn't laugh at me, and nodded, "Okay, I'll send it to you then, and you can forward it back to me."
I almost burst out laughing, but I was more moved. (To be continued)
