Diao Yimin is 55 years old. He suffered a serious illness when he was forty years old. After that, his left hand and right foot became less flexible. After years of exercise, his left hand has basically returned to normal, but when he walks, he can still see his right foot.
Inconvenience. Generally speaking, people with physical inconvenience rarely become public figures due to image considerations, but Diao Yimin still step by step reached his current position. In addition to his background, his own outstanding ability is also an important reason. It is said that,
Diao Yimin didn't talk much, but he always meant what he said. As for the rest, Liang Jian didn't know much about it.
Before entering, Liang Jian was a little uneasy. Because he knew that at the level of provincial secretary, there was a huge difference in identity and status. Although Liang Jian had stayed with Zhang Qiang for a long time, he did not
Not everyone likes Zhang Qiang as much as he does.
Looking at the doorbell close at hand, Liang Jian took a deep breath before raising his hand to press it. The ding-dong sound rang three times before the door of the villa opened, and a slim woman walked out and walked along the short stone road.
Walking down the road, he came to Liang Jian, looked at Liang Jian through the iron fence, and asked in a playful voice: "Are you Liang Jian?"
After Liang Jian nodded, she stretched out her hand to open the iron door and said, "Follow me. This will be inconvenient for Secretary Diao. You can wait in the side hall first."
"Okay." Liang Jian followed her, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at the two apron strings tied with bows around her waist behind her back. The soft silk material, following her light steps, touched her round buttocks.
Pat it gently every now and then.
Enter the door and turn left, which is the side hall. Go straight into the door and you will see the living room, and on the other side is the dining room and kitchen. This woman in an apron is very young, about 20 years old, and she should be the nanny here. Liang Jian is in the side hall.
Sitting down on the sofa, she told him expressionlessly: "I didn't ask you, so don't wander around."
Liang Jian said yes again.
She turned around and left. There was no tea or water.
Liang Jian looked at the time and saw that the minute hand passed 6, then passed 7, then passed 8, and was about to pass 9. Liang Jian couldn't help but feel anxious. Ni Xiuyun told him that nine o'clock was Provincial Secretary Diao Yimin's break.
Time, if he is still not free by nine o'clock, then his trip will probably be in vain.
He arrived suddenly, and it was normal for Diao Yimin not to see him. However, Liang Jian was wasting his time here just to see him, and there were many things waiting for him to do in Taihe. Therefore, it was best to see him tonight.
, no matter whether we can achieve our goal in the end, we always have a better chance than not even seeing each other, right?
When Liang Jian was thinking about a way to meet Diao Yimin without being rude, suddenly there was movement in the living room. Liang Jian turned around and saw the young woman walking out with a tall figure.
.The man probably didn't know that Liang Jian was watching him in the side hall, and hurriedly followed the young woman out, leaving only a side profile for Liang Jian.
The woman sent him to the door and then turned back and called Liang Jian: "Come with me."
Liang Jian didn't care to think about who it was just now, and stood up quickly, followed the woman through the living room, and arrived in front of the study door. The woman opened the door and stopped. Liang Jian walked in, and in the room, there was a fat man wearing a
A pair of white T-shirt and sweatpants, with his back to Liang Jian, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Outside the window were knee-high plants, and inside the window was a floor-to-ceiling desk lamp, shining bright yellow light.
"Sit." Liang Jian just stepped in and heard his voice, which was soft but deep and powerful. Liang Jian glanced at the room. To his left was a bookshelf on the wall. The bookshelf was full of books. He glanced at it in a hurry and didn't have time to read the titles.
In front of the bookshelf is a large dark red desk. On the desk, there is a notebook, which is closed. Many documents are piled up. A desk lamp is turned off.
Coming over from the desk, between Liang Jian and Diao Yimin, was a set of sofas and a coffee table. Liang Jian glanced at the coffee table, and there was only one teacup, a blue and white porcelain teacup with a lid. Liang Jian chose between the two sofas without the teacup.
He sat down on the sofa facing each other.
As soon as he sat down, Diao Yimin, who was standing in front of the window, turned around. He was holding a pipe in his hand, but there was no cigarette. He glanced at Liang Jian, who had just sat down, and put the pipe on a high table next to him.
Then he walked over with a slight limp and sat down on the sofa with the teacup on it.
"Liang Jian, why are you so anxious to see me? What's the matter?" His tone was easy-going, as if he was chatting with a familiar elder.
When he was in the side hall, he was still worried, but now he calmed down. Liang Jian faced his scrutinizing gaze without hesitation, and got straight to the point: "There is indeed something going on, and people's lives are at stake. I would like to ask Secretary Diao for help."
A favor!"
The words "human life is at stake" made Diao Yimin raise his eyebrows on the right side of his face slightly, then pursed his lips and asked: "Tell me first, why is human life at stake!"
"There is a severe drought in Jingzhou and the Loujiang River has dried up. Water is the source of life. If the people can't drink water, does it mean that their lives are at stake?" Liang Jian asked back. His tone may have a bit of questioning, but Liang Jian realized after he finished speaking.
Now, he didn't expect that when he talked about this issue, he would unconsciously get emotional. He thought it would make him unhappy. But he didn't expect that he smiled and said, "Forget it!"
Liang Jian was surprised. He was stunned for a moment before he realized and said: "I want to ask Secretary Diao to include Jingzhou in the list of water diversion projects!"
Diao Yimin didn't say anything. He reached out and picked up the tea cup on the table. After taking a sip, he suddenly asked: "It seems that some time ago, Zhang Heng from Lingyang City also came over and clamored for me to take Lingyang."
The city has also been included in this list of water diversion projects. I am more curious as to who spread the news!"
After saying that, he looked at Liang Jian with a playful look.
Liang Jian's heart skipped a beat, and then he lowered his head and admitted without hesitation: "I revealed it to Comrade Zhang Heng."
"You are honest." After Diao Yimin said this with a smile, his tone suddenly changed: "But where did you know about it? Not many people in the province know about this matter so far!"
Liang Jian naturally couldn't tell Hu Xiaoying, but Diao Yimin's scorching eyes were staring at him constantly. If he couldn't say one, two, three, it would be difficult for him to pass the test. Liang Jian's head was spinning rapidly, but Diao Yimin didn't.
Give him time to think and say directly: "What? It's not convenient to disclose it?"
When Liang Jian heard this, he simply nodded. Diao Yimin smiled, took another sip of tea, put down the tea cup, and the tea lid gently closed on the tea cup, making a crisp sound.
"Don't think about the water diversion project. By the way, tell Zhang Heng and tell him not to think about it either." Diao Yimin said in a serious way. Liang Jian couldn't say he was disappointed. He was just a drunkard.
It wasn't the wine. It was just that Diao Yimin's next words shocked him.
Diao Yimin said: "However, they can open the floodgates of Lingyang Hydropower Station."
Liang Jian did not hide the surprise in his heart, but showed it on the surface. Diao Yimin saw it and said with a smile: "Who can you hide the little tricks you are playing! You are not tired of going around in such a big circle, I listen.
We’re all tired! Okay, tomorrow I will ask the secretary to inform Zhang Heng about the release of water from the sluice. You can go back."
After the trick was exposed, Liang Jian didn't feel embarrassed at all. As long as the goal was achieved, the rest was not important. After Liang Jian thanked him sincerely, he left. Ni Xiuyun's car was parked a little far away, and there were some cars on the way Liang Jian walked over.
It felt unreal. I thought it would take a lot of effort, but unexpectedly, it turned out so smoothly. It was really unexpected, and it even felt like I was dreaming.
After getting in the car, Ni Xiuyun saw that he was a little distracted and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Things are not going well?"
Liang Jian came back to his senses and said with a smile: "No, it went very smoothly. It just went so smoothly that it felt unreal."
Ni Xiuyun laughed at him: "Isn't it true if it doesn't go well?"
Liang Jian laughed.
Along the way, Ni Xiuyun didn't ask him what he wanted from Diao Yimin. Liang Jian didn't ask him how he helped him get an appointment at this time. Moreover, Diao Yimin was particularly kind today, as if he was not Diao Yimin, but Zhang Qiang.
.
Liang Jian thought of Zhang Qiang again. The two had not been in contact for a long time, and he didn't know if he was okay in the capital.
Ni Xiuyun sent him to the door of the hotel. Liang Jian got out of the car and was about to leave. Ni Xiuyun joked in the car: "What? You don't want me, a hero, to come up and sit down?"
Ni Xiuyun raised the corner of her mouth and said, "I'm willing to enter the handsome guy's room no matter how late it is."
Liang Jian has been among flowers, but he has no advantage in front of Ni Xiuyun. He is always defeated by her with just a few words every time. Liang Jian smiled bitterly and said: "Sister, please don't tease me.
Got it!"
Ni Xiuyun laughed very happily. After laughing, he finally said seriously: "I'm kidding you, I have something else to do. If you ask me to come up, I won't come up yet!"
"What do you have to do so late?" Liang Jian asked casually. Ni Xiuyun squinted her eyes and smiled: "What? I feel sorry for my hard work?"
Liang Jian had no choice but to say: "Women should not work too hard!"
Ni Xiuyun smiled and was about to leave before lighting the fire. Suddenly he stopped, turned around and looked at Liang Jian who had not left yet, and asked: "Do me a favor, can you?"
"No problem. Just say it." Liang Jian readily agreed.
Ni Xiuyun said, "Just agree. I'll talk to you about the specific details later. Let's go and rest early."
Ni Xiuyun left after saying that. Liang Jian didn't take this promise to heart. When he thought about it, Ni Xiuyun asked him for help, which was nothing more than some work matters. If he could help him, he would definitely help, but if he really couldn't help,
There's nothing we can do about that.
After returning to the hotel to rest for a night, the matter was done. Liang Jian and the others set off back to Taihe City early the next morning. As soon as the car got on the highway, Mengmeng, who had disappeared after arriving at Qingtangju yesterday, called.
As soon as Liang Jian picked up the phone, he heard Meng Meng curse on the other end of the phone: "Son of a bitch!"
After Liang Jian was stunned for a moment, he asked her calmly: "Is something wrong?"
Mengmeng collected his emotions and asked: "Are you still in Jinyang?"
