"Why are you looking so attentively? Liang Jian.www.pinw.CoM" said his wife Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan had already seen Liang Jian looking into the car window after getting out of the car, so she secretly tiptoed behind him to find out some secrets, but there was nothing in the car, so she asked him.
Liang Jian was startled. His feet did not jump up, but his heart skipped a beat. He quickly said, "I didn't see anything."
"You didn't see anything, you kept looking in?" Lu Yuan felt something was wrong.
"The window glass seems a little dirty. I'm hesitant to open the door and wipe it." Liang Jian wondered why he lied. The car window was indeed a little dirty. It was left by his own head, but he didn't think about going there.
wipe.
Lu Yuan: "I've never found you to be such a germaphobe. What's the point of hesitating? Just wipe it off if you want. I see that when you hesitated just now, you could have wiped three windowpanes clean.
Let me tell you, Liang Jian, you are really too hesitant to do things sometimes. My dad said the same thing. I asked you to give gifts to your Secretary Zhong, so I guess you are still hesitant!"
Which one is this? Liang Jian thought to himself, why is it coming to me again while talking?
Lu Yuan will not only mention the things about his work at home, but they will also have to be discussed at the next family dinner.
Father-in-law Lu Jianming seemed to be very concerned about Liang Jian's career. He had already heard about their middle-level competition, so he asked with pretense of concern: "How is the middle-level competition going?"
"The competition is over, but the results haven't come out yet." Liang Jian picked up the rice and wanted to put it into his mouth as soon as possible.
Today, his mother-in-law was particularly attentive to picking up the food for him, letting him eat what was in the bowl. What was on the plate was put in the bowl again, and he couldn't finish it. It seemed that his mother-in-law didn't want him to be perfunctory today.
Lu Jianming: "What do you think you have a chance of winning?"
Liang Jian: "No chance of winning."
Lu Yuan interjected: "Why?"
Liang Jian talked about the relationship between rival Shi Ning and Zhong Tao.
Father-in-law: "You are quite clear-eyed about this. Since you know that Secretary Zhong will use Shi Ning, why do you still compete for it? Isn't the position of director of the Government Office vacant? Why don't you compete for this position?"
Liang Jian: "I'm just angry. Why did Zhong Tao remove me as secretary of the party committee when he became secretary?"
Father-in-law: "Angry is anger. But now you are acting on your will, or hitting a stone with an egg. There is a truth, you should understand, that is, when people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads. As long as you are under the leadership of Zhong Tao, you should understand
Only by actively cooperating with his ideas can you gain a firm foothold in Shimian Town. Unless you have the ability to transfer out of Shimian Town."
Liang Jian originally wanted to say, maybe one day I will really transfer out of the Town of Ten Faces. But it was not something he could say yet, so he had no choice but to say nothing.
Before Lu Jianming finished, he said to Zhong Tao: "I heard someone said that your party committee meeting has been held, but the appointment candidates have not been announced. Do you know what is going on?"
Liang Jiandao: "I heard that some people want to sell these jobs for one price."
Liang Jian originally wanted to say that this person was "Zhong Tao", but Lu Jianming had a good impression of Zhong Tao, so he used "someone" instead.
Lu Jianming was not surprised, but asked, "Last time I asked you to give gifts to Secretary Zhong, did you give them?"
Liang Jiandao: "No. There was something delayed at that time."
Liang Jian didn't say that he didn't want to give it away at all.
Lu Jianming glanced at Liang Jian and shook his head in dissatisfaction, "Liang Jian, we can't do anything if we don't hurry up. No matter what you think about gift-giving, this is your last chance. You have to know, Secretary Zhong
I’m giving you one last chance. If you take the initiative to come and give gifts, even if you are not the party secretary this time, you still have other positions. If you don’t give them, then you will really be in trouble in Shimian Town in the future.
Become a commoner. You must be clear-headed about this."
Liang Jian was embarrassed and said: "I know."
Lu Jianming was still worried, "Yuanyuan, you have to supervise the gift-giving. It is best today, but tomorrow at the latest, you ask Liang Jian to give away this gift. You go with me, at least until Secretary Zhong."
downstairs."
Lu Yuan looked at Liang Jian and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Lu Jianming added: "Reciprocity of courtesy is indispensable in officialdom. You must remember this in the future. What people care about is not how much money you actually gave as a gift, but the courtesy, which shows whether you respect him or not.
"
Liang Jian thought that this must be the experience of Lu Jianming, the former vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, who had been an official for many years. When he was in office, he received gifts from countless people.
After coming out of his father-in-law's house, Liang Jian breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Yuan said: "You sigh as if my parents' house is a labor camp."
Liang Jiandao: "It's purgatory. During this period, every time I eat, I feel as uncomfortable as purgatory."
Lu Yuan said: "You are thinking too much. Dad is also doing it for our own good and for your future."
Liang Jiandao: "But don't you think it's strange? When a town party committee secretary came to power, he put the hats on the bottom for sale one by one. Is this normal? Your father, why didn't you complain and say there was something wrong with Zhong Tao?
Without even a single complaint, he just asked me to send money and gifts."
Lu Yuan said: "Liang Jian, this is not what I said. In the officialdom, my father ate more salt than you ate rice, and crossed more bridges than you walked. You have to admit this, right?"
Liang Jiandao: "I admit it, I have to add that you drink more wine than I drink water, and you receive more gifts than my salary, okay?"
Lu Yuan said: "You are such a talker. My father will not be happy if he hears what you say."
Liang Jian was discouraged and said: "Actually, your father has never been happy with me. He is not satisfied with the combination of me and you."
Lu Yuan said: "But aren't we still married? Next, we just need to try our best to make the old man happy."
Liang Jian stopped the car and leaned his head against the window. This position was exactly where he hit his head while avoiding Mo Feifei's kiss. He thought to himself, it would be great if Mo Feifei was sitting in the car now, she wouldn't
Let me please his father. Of course Mo Feifei would not, because Mo Feifei is just his colleague. Realizing this, he moved his head away from the window again: "Lu Yuan, I want to ask you a question.
"
Seeing that Liang Jian was serious, Lu Yuan turned her head: "What's the problem? You tell me."
Lu Yuan's eyes were bright. From these bright eyes, Liang Jian vaguely saw Lu Yuan in college. However, Lu Yuan's thoughts were very different from those in college. Lu Yuan in college was simple and never forced Liang Jian to force himself.
Go and do something. In addition to thinking Lu Yuan is beautiful, Liang Jian also feels that Lu Yuan has never made any demands on him, making him feel comfortable. But in society, Lu Yuan is changing little by little. In fact, Liang Jian thinks this is all
It was her father, who was a leader, who had been instilling in her some ideas that were not suitable for her, causing an invisible layer of glass to appear between her and him. This glass is called a barrier.
Liang Jian realized that the barrier between the young couple was actually a very scary thing. If allowed to develop, it would become a wall that would be difficult to dismantle.
Therefore, it was necessary for him to talk to Lu Yuan today.
Seeing that he didn't speak immediately, Lu Yuan urged, "Tell me, what's your problem?"
Liang Jian: "I want to ask you, do you like me as a person or my position?"
Lu Yuan smiled and said: "Of course it's you. If you have a good position, I will like you more. My dad will also like you more."
Liang Jian: "Don't mention your dad first. Let me ask you, if I didn't have a good position, would you still like me?"
Lu Yuan thought for a while and frowned: "Why don't you have a good position? With your ability, you should have a good position. Being a township leader is the most basic thing. You are expected by everyone."
Liang Jian: "Don't change the subject. Just answer what I said. If I don't become a leader, will you still be with me?"
Lu Yuan said with a straight face: "If you don't want to be a leader, let's say goodbye."
Liang Jian was shocked. He didn't expect Lu Yuan to answer so simply. He remained silent.
Seeing that Liang Jian was serious, Lu Yuan leaned her head over squeamishly: "Honey, I'm teasing you."
Liang Jian lowered his head and asked, "Are you really kidding me?"
Lu Yuan said: "I'm just teasing you. But from the bottom of my heart, no matter what, whether it's ability, connections, or horoscopes, I really think you are the material to be a leader. I'm optimistic about you, even though my dad talks about it.
Even if you don’t say it, he is also optimistic about you. The key is that you have to have confidence in yourself. Sometimes, I feel that you really lack decisiveness and self-confidence, otherwise I think you might have become a leader long ago."
Liang Jian restarted the car and just said "hmm" without saying anything else. This feeling was like screwing on the cap of a drained mineral water bottle. It was empty but couldn't breathe.
He wanted to find someone to drink with.
There was no time to find someone to drink with. Lu Yuan was like the inspector sent by her father, urging him to give gifts to Zhong Tao.
What to give? The two of them puzzled over it and decided to go to Jingzhou Building to have a look.
If you give ordinary things to the town party committee secretary, they will definitely not be able to sell them.
So the two of them went straight to the luxury gift shop. Inside were some famous cigarettes and wines, ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, and cordyceps. Liang Jian wanted to quit, but kept saying: "I don't think it's necessary. People don't necessarily give away things, just me."
Isn’t it too embarrassing to send it off alone?”
Lu Yuan forced him to say: "They won't give it to us, so we will. Only then will it be effective."
As soon as Lu Yuan said this, she saw an acquaintance at the Beijing Tongrentang counter, picking up the order and paying for it. Lu Yuan pulled Liang Jian: "Isn't this person Shi Ning?"
Liang Jian looked around and saw that it was indeed Shi Ning: "It's him."
Lu Yuan tapped Liang Jian's head with her hand: "Look, don't you say that Shi Ning is 90% sure to get the position of secretary of the party committee? But aren't they still giving gifts? As long as it's not a hat that's already on someone's head,
There is a possibility of being snatched away. Shi Ning is afraid of this, so he also came to buy gifts for the leaders."
Liang Jian was also out of curiosity: "Let's go see what he bought?"
Lu Yuan said: "Yes, yes, let's go and take a look. Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles."
At this moment, Shi Ning had gone to line up at the payment counter, and Liang Jian and Lu Yuan came to the shopping counter.
The waitress immediately came up and asked, "What do you two need? I can show it to you."
Lu Yuan said: "Oh, let's take a look at Cordyceps Sinensis."
