Liang Jian reluctantly reported the news to Hongxu. Hongxu was also very surprised that Secretary Ma said he would go back immediately. However, when he heard that it was related to his son's return to China, Hongxu said: "It seems that he met
It’s no wonder that you are so eager.”
Saying this, Hongxu couldn't help but sigh. Liang Jian thought that Hongxu was in a bad mood because he couldn't report the situation to Secretary Ma in person, so he comforted him and said: "Mayor Hong, although I can't see you today, I will still see you in the future.
I’ll report it when I get the chance. Once Secretary Ma comes to Jingzhou, it may not be possible that the matter of Phoenix Scenic Area will be settled immediately.”
Hong Xu said: "I'm not sighing because of this. I'm sighing because of my son." Liang Jian asked strangely: "Mayor Hong, what's wrong with your young master?" Mayor Hong corrected: "Don't say anything, young master.
'And so on, my son has been spoiled by my wife since he was a child, and he is almost becoming a playboy." Liang Jian thought to himself, it is unlikely that Mayor Hong is so upright and his son is a playboy, right? Liang Jian said
: "Maybe Mayor Hong has too high demands on his son!"
Mayor Hong waved his hand and said, "No more talking. Is it almost time? Let's go downstairs and wait for Governor Lu. Secretary Ma can't see him, so we can't offend Governor Lu too!"
Liang Jian quickly packed up Mayor Hong's things, picked up his bag, went back to the room to get his own things, and waited at the elevator. Mayor Hong soon came out of the room, and the two entered the elevator and arrived at the club building.
Next. Vice Mayor Qin Gang, Environmental Protection Director Zhao Nianqiu, Changhu District Party Committee Secretary Hu Xiaoying, Jiangzhong Daduo Chairman Pan Qianqiang and others are already waiting there.
One step away, Vice Governor Lu Jun also came down. Seeing everyone standing there neatly waiting for him, Lu Jun was very pleased and said: "Everyone is here?" Liang Jian thought to himself, fortunately he went downstairs earlier.
If he arrives a step too late, Vice Governor Lu might have to be sarcastic again.
Lu Jun shook hands with Pan Qianqiang, chairman of Jiangzhong Daduo: "Director Pan, although you are a printing and dyeing company, you still have a strong awareness of environmental protection and have done a good job in environmental protection. Next time you go to my university to cooperate on environmental protection equipment and projects,
You can come to me." Pan Qianqian said: "That's for sure. With Governor Lu's care, our environmental protection work will definitely be better." Lu Jun said: "That's good."
Pan Qianqian shook hands with the leaders of other provinces, cities, and districts and said goodbye. He himself had no discussion tasks in the afternoon, so he stayed in the company.
The car slowly drove into the Municipal Administrative Center Building. From the gate to the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government Building, there is an encircling boulevard. The asphalt road under the boulevard is very flat. Liang Jian sometimes thought, maybe this asphalt road
, is the best quality asphalt road in the city. When cars drive on it, there is only a slight rustling sound.
When Liang Jian glanced out the window, he saw a woman, wearing a purple dress and holding a yellow file bag on her chest, walking calmly towards the downstairs hall. As the car moved forward, Liang Jian saw the woman's face. Yes.
Qi Yun.
Looking at Qi Yun, who has a slim figure and an elegant gait, walking under the shade of the trees, Liang Jian felt like he was in a dream. When he was in elementary school, Liang Jian just entered the fourth grade and rode his bicycle to school. Not long after leaving the school gate,
He saw an elegant little girl, wearing a beautiful purple skirt, walking towards the school gate with a few books in her arms.
Almost at that moment, Liang Jian fell in love with this girl. This girl was Qi Yun. Time has passed and more than ten years have become a thing of the past. The moment he saw Qi Yun walking on the boulevard holding a portfolio bag,
Those memories of the dust are like the geese flying back in autumn. The feelings in Liang Jian's heart are really difficult to describe.
When the cars passed by, Qi Yun raised her head and looked at the cars, but she probably didn't see Liang Jian looking at her. The car stopped, and Liang Jian had to get out of his memories and fantasies.
She had to cheer up and become a competent secretary again. She quickly got out of the car and opened the door for Mayor Hong.
Mayor Hong stepped forward and led Governor Lu into the building. Some officials and agency personnel in the agency stepped aside slightly when they saw Mayor Hong and his party entering. When they arrived at the elevator entrance, those who were older than them
Those who came first saw a group of leaders coming and took the initiative to delay entering the elevator, allowing Mayor Hong and Governor Lu to enter the elevator first.
The leaders were not polite and all entered the elevator.
The conference room has been prepared. The briefing meeting began. Vice Mayor Qin Gang made a special report on environmental protection work, and Mayor Hong made supplements. Governor Lu asked relevant leaders of counties and districts to talk. Everyone was very knowledgeable and knew what was going on.
It was better to say less in front of Vice Governor Lu. They really couldn't grasp the leader's temper, so everyone said a few words and stopped there.
Finally, it was Vice Governor Lu's turn to speak. Governor Lu began to talk about everything, and he seemed not to worry about going astray. Liang Jian thought to himself, Vice Governor Lu has been going around in circles, and I don't know when it will be over!
Hu Xiaoying had finished her report. She quietly stood up from her chair and left the conference room. Everyone thought she was going to the bathroom. When Hu Xiaoying was at the door, she glanced at Liang Jian. Liang Jian's position was not yet on the table, so he sat down
On the stool leaning against the wall, I saw the look Hu Xiaoying cast, and realized that Hu Xiaoying must have something to talk to me.
Liang Jian also stood up gently, trying not to attract attention, quietly slipped from the back row to the door, and went out. Liang Jian followed Hu Xiaoying to the French window at the end of the corridor, where he could see the scenery outside.
Hu Xiaoying asked: "You went to Secretary Feng's place at noon. How was the situation?" Liang Jian told the situation. Hu Xiaoying was very sorry to hear this and felt that it was too sudden for Secretary Ma to return to Ningzhou in the evening. Liang Jian added
Secretary Ma told Hu Xiaoying that he was going to Fahua Temple in the afternoon and wanted to talk to the abbot. In addition, Liang Jian also mentioned the rumors about Secretary Ma’s son. The reason why Liang Jian told Hu Xiaoying in detail was because Hu Xiaoying asked him to go to Feng Jian.
Feng understands the situation.
After listening to Liang Jian's words, Hu Xiaoying suddenly said: "Secretary Ma is really going to Fahua Temple in the afternoon to talk to Master Zhikong?" The Master Zhikong that Hu Xiaoying mentioned is a senior monk of Fahua Temple, who is indeed responsible for the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Have a great reputation.
Liang Jian said: "Yes, Secretary Feng told me so personally. He also said that Secretary Ma's recent return to China for his son has been very troublesome."
Hu Xiaoying stopped talking, and her quiet eyes suddenly moved flexibly. Liang Jian saw that she might be thinking about something, so he didn't disturb her. After a while, Hu Xiaoying suddenly laughed and said: "I'm willing to make a bet today.
Secretary Ma will not leave Jingzhou City. Not only that, his family will come to Jingzhou tomorrow!"
Liang Jian looked at Hu Xiaoying in confusion and said: "Secretary Hu, what are you talking about? How is this possible? Secretary Ma's return to Ningzhou has been decided. Therefore, Mayor Hong's request for a meeting at night was unsuccessful. He asked Ma
It’s impossible for the secretary to stay!”
Hu Xiaoying said: "It is difficult for us to retain a leader. After all, there is no need for a leader to care too much about the feelings of his subordinates. But if we want to retain a leader because the leader wants to stay, wouldn't everything be fine?" Liang Jian
Said: "But this is not easy!"
Hu Xiaoying said: "It's not too difficult. You go in first, maybe Mayor Hong will come to you for something. This matter will be taken care of by me." Liang Jian was suspicious, but what Hu Xiaoying said was right.
It's been a few minutes since I left the room. Maybe Mayor Hong really needs him for something.
Hu Xiaoying blinked at him mysteriously and signaled him to go back to the conference room quickly. He had no choice but to go back. Fortunately, Mayor Hong didn't look for him. Liang Jian sat back in his seat. He thought to himself, what will Hu Xiaoying do?
What, you can ensure that Secretary Ma stays, and also say that Secretary Ma’s family will also come to Jingzhou tomorrow? It can’t be a hostage-taking, right?
Thinking like this, Liang Jian couldn't help but laugh at himself: You have watched too many police and gangster movies, and your imagination is a bit too much.
A few minutes later, Hu Xiaoying came back from outside. She did not look at Liang Jian, but walked back to her seat gracefully and sat down. Liang Jian's cell phone suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and saw a text message from Hu Xiaoying.
: It’s done, just wait and see the results this afternoon!
Liang Jian looked at the text message for a long time, full of suspicion. He thought that if Hu Xiaoying did something, Feng Feng, the secretary of Ma Chaoqun, deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, should respond, so he sent a message
Text message passed: Brother Feng, what's your progress? Is it possible to stay tonight?
Soon, Feng Feng sent back a message: I just visited the Phoenix Scenic Area and it was not very good. But the leader is very interested in the Fahua Temple in the scenic area. We are on the way there. We must be going back to Ningzhou in the evening. I can’t tell
There is no sign that the leadership wants to stay in Jingzhou.
Liang Jian replied "Thank you". The suspicion in his heart deepened. He didn't know what kind of medicine Hu Xiaoying was selling in the gourd!
The Fahua Temple is indeed a temple with hundreds of years of history. When you walk into the temple, you will feel the pure feeling unique to Buddhism. Ma Chaoqun has long heard about the Fahua Temple in Jingzhou City and has wanted to do so many times.
I came here to visit because I had no chance. This time, Ma Chaoqun agreed to let Tan Zhenlin come to inspect Jingzhou Phoenix Scenic Area, which in itself implied his desire to visit Fahua Temple.
Of course, Tan Zhenlin knew about Ma Chaoqun's hobby, and specially arranged a visit to the temple in his itinerary. Ma Chaoqun contacted the system war work, so he came to the temple to see more, and no one interrupted to gossip.
The abbot, Master Zhikong, personally went to the gate to greet him. He led a group of people including Ma Chaoqun to introduce the temple and its current layout, as well as the Buddhist masters who had walked out of Fahua Temple.
Tan Zhenlin took advantage of Mao Chaoqun's visit to the Main Hall to step aside Master Zhikong and said: "This time I would like to trouble Master Zhikong to talk more about the importance of the construction of the Phoenix Scenic Area. Your temple is also within the Phoenix Scenic Area! Phoenix Scenic Area
The better the construction, the better and better the conditions of Fahua Temple will be!" Master Zhikong put down his hands that were gently clasped together and said, "Secretary Tan, don't worry."
After visiting the temple, Master Zhikong asked Secretary Ma to stay in the Zen room. He first exchanged some views on the country’s policies and support for religion. Secretary Ma made several requests on how to play the role of religion in a harmonious society. Then they exchanged some more
Enlightenment of Buddhism.
Secretary Ma was very interested in some of what Master Zhikong said: "If I have time next time, I really want to communicate more with Master Zhikong in private." As soon as Secretary Ma said these words, the accompanying cadres also understood what he meant.
That was what Secretary Ma wanted to ask Master Zhikong alone.
It is not allowed for leading cadres to ask for fortune-telling in front of others. It will be considered by the public as having weak political beliefs. In serious cases, they can even go beyond the line. But in life, sometimes confusion is inevitable, especially the higher the position.
The greater the risk, when people are confused they always hope for an external guiding light.
Secretary Tan is a smart man. He stood up first and said: "Secretary Ma, today is a good opportunity, don't wait until next time. We have set aside time in the afternoon for Secretary Ma and Master Zhikong to communicate. You guys, please wait.
Let’s talk slowly. Let’s go see the temple again. I don’t have time to come here usually, so I will take a walk today to get some Buddhist spirit and meditate!”
Secretary Tan had said so, how could anyone stay? Everyone tacitly agreed and walked out as if they were really going to visit the temple. Only Ma Chaoqun and Zhikong were left in the Zen room.
Zhikong calmly refilled Ma Chaoqun's water, put his hands together, and then sat down: "Secretary Ma, what do you want to ask?" Ma Chaoqun was in a high position and was embarrassed to be too frank, saying that he asked for a signature to ask about his son.
, and said: "I wonder what Master Zhikong thinks I want to ask?"
Zhikong looked at Ma Chaoqun, smiled slightly and said, "Could the thing Secretary Ma wants to ask about have something to do with your noble master?"
Secretary Tan was shocked and secretly thought: How could Zhikong know this? Is there really such an eminent monk in the world who can understand others? But he still didn't believe it, so he said, "Master Zhikong, what else do you know?"
Zhikong said: "My dear son, you are far away on the other side of the ocean, and you will soon return to your country. It's really gratifying for the wanderer to return!" Secretary Ma thought to himself, many people know that my son is studying abroad, but few people know that I am.
The son will be back tomorrow. But it is not ruled out that Tan Zhenlin and other insiders have already informed Zhikong of the relevant situation to gain his trust.
Ma Chaoqun still remained vigilant and said, "Others can easily know this. I don't know if Master Zhikong knows anything else that others don't know." Master Zhikong smiled like a monk again and said, "If I'm not mistaken,
"Your Majesty, there is a birthmark on your left thigh above the knee."
As soon as Master Zhikong said these words, Ma Chaoqun was completely convinced. Ma Chaoqun was certain that Zhikong had never seen his son, let alone the birthmark on his son in advance. Master Zhikong was really an eminent monk. Ma Chaoqun
The vigilance in his heart relaxed, and he asked: "Today, I really want to ask Master Zhikong for some advice about his son." Master Zhikong said: "Secretary Ma, please tell me!"
Secretary Ma came out of Master Zhikong's Zen room. The other accompanying persons were already waiting in the open space outside the Zen room. Secretary Ma turned around and nodded to Master Zhikong who was following him: "Master Zhikong, I'm with you today.
The exchange was very pleasant and gave me a lot of knowledge, thank you!”
Master Zhikong bowed and saluted: "I would also like to thank Secretary Ma for taking time out of his busy schedule to come to our Fahua Temple. The door of our Fahua Temple will always be open to Secretary Ma. I hope I can come again when I have time." Secretary Ma smiled and said: "
Definitely, definitely."
Tan Zhenlin looked happy when he saw Secretary Ma so happy. Tan Zhenlin thought that it was Zhikong who listened to his instructions and said something that Secretary Ma liked to hear, which made Secretary Ma feel better. After Secretary Ma said goodbye to Zhikong, he moved forward
When leaving, Tan Zhenlin stayed behind and said to Zhikong: "Master Zhikong, thanks to you today, Secretary Ma is very happy." Zhikong nodded slightly: "It is our duty as monks to make the world less painful and more happy.
Things to do.”
Tan Zhenlin thought to himself that officialdom has official clichés, and Buddhism also has Buddhist clichés. What Zhikong said just now should be Buddhist clichés. Of course, Tan Zhenlin would not argue with Zhikong, so he walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Ma Chaoqun.
The sun was setting perfectly, the breeze was blowing, and the autumn forest was empty. After getting in the car, Secretary Ma took another look at this extraordinary temple and thought that if the Phoenix Scenic Area was really developed, the purity of this century-old temple would not be preserved.
Feng Feng opened the car door for Secretary Ma early. After Secretary Ma got into the car, he said to Feng Feng: "We are not going back today." Feng Feng was stunned. Didn't he decide to go back in the afternoon? Why did he say no?
Are you going back? It’s true that the plan cannot keep up with the changes. Of course, these are just slanders. Even if Feng Feng is beaten to death, he will not say it. He just said respectfully: "Okay, Secretary Ma. I will inform the Jingzhou Municipal Committee immediately."
Secretary Ma said, "You can tell them later when we get to the hotel. I'll take a rest first." After saying that, he closed his eyes and rested in the car.
