"Want something to drink? I'll treat you." The beauty said as she closed the book in her hand. Liang Jian was still in a daze because of that amazing smile. Hearing her voice, he quickly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Why?
Dare you let a beautiful woman treat you!"
Liang Jian called the waiter and ordered tea. Then he looked at the beauty and asked, "What were you reading just now? You were so fascinated by it?"
The beauty smiled and said, "You can take whatever you want over there." After saying that, she looked Liang Jian up and down and said, "You are different from the officials I have seen."
Liang Jian smiled and asked: "Why is it different? Tell me."
The beauty said: "They have an official smell, but you don't."
After working in an industry for a long time, especially if you are an official, you are used to giving orders, and you will inevitably have the aura of a superior person. Some people know how to restrain themselves, which makes people feel approachable. Some people like to be flamboyant, which makes people feel that they are approachable.
The momentum is overwhelming, and even a bit... To use a popular word on the Internet, it is pretentious. This is what beautiful women call official taste. However, the beautiful woman said that Liang Jian does not have it. This sentence is not unfamiliar to Liang Jian. He has also had it before
People have said that he is different from ordinary officials. Even Governor Zhang has said that he is different from those in the government.
In fact, he himself couldn't tell exactly what was different. Perhaps it was because of the insistence on right and wrong in his heart. However, this had nothing to do with official taste. Liang Jian laughed: "You mean
If you say I don’t look like an official, what do you think I look like?”
The beauty tilted her head and thought seriously. After a few seconds, she suddenly covered her mouth and laughed without saying a word. Liang Jian asked: "Why are you laughing?"
The beauty said: "Actually, when I saw you talking to that bastard police chief during the day, you were actually quite domineering, a bit like... a gangster boss!"
Liang Jian was a little bit dumbfounded. The argument he had with the police chief during the day was also out of anger and helplessness. He said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I still have this temperament. It seems that if I don't become an official in the future, I can join the underworld!"
"
But the beauty said: "No! If you don't become an official, the country will lose a good official. It's not worth it!"
The beauty's praise made Liang Jian feel a little deserved. After all, he had very selfish motives when he came here in the first place. He said: "I just did what I should do, and I am not a good official!"
"Some officials don't do what they are supposed to do. They spend all day thinking about whether the black gauze hat on their head can be higher and whether they can have more power. If you can do what you should do, you are already good.
Got it!" the beauty said, with a slightly angry look on her face. Liang Jian looked at her, and the slightly dim light of the desk lamp fell on her delicate face, leaving mottled shadows. Liang Jian suddenly felt that this kind of thing on her face
The expression seemed familiar.
Once upon a time, he had such emotions, and was very angry about the current situation of the officialdom. But after all these years, in the eyes of many people, he has not changed much, and he still stubbornly adheres to certain principles. But he
I know that he has changed, becoming numb and selfish.
Liang Jian suddenly felt a little scared. Time is a ruthless knife. As it passes, it will always leave deep or shallow scratches on people. At the beginning, people will not notice it, but one day, when they look up,
, only to find that the self in the mirror had changed beyond recognition. Liang Jian was afraid that one day in the future, when he woke up early in the morning and looked at himself in the mirror, he would not be able to recognize who this person was.
"What are you thinking about?" The beautiful woman's voice interrupted Liang Jian's reverie. Liang Jian came back to his senses and before he could speak, the waiter came over with tea.
The two stopped talking. The beauty lowered her head and took out a few pages of paper from the handbag placed on the chair next to her, and then placed them on the table in front of Liang Jian.
"Here, here is the manuscript, take a look." After the waiter left, the beauty said. Liang Jian picked it up. The title of the manuscript was: The cry of 78 lives: Whose fault is this?
The title is shocking. The combination of the number 78 and the word life is impossible to ignore. However, such a title is too eye-catching and sharp. In such a matter, from a political perspective, it is not suitable. Liang Jian continued
Look down.
The entire manuscript is too long for a press release. But it is just like the four words Liang Jian asked the beauty before: seek truth from facts. After reading the whole article, Liang Jian did not see any exaggeration. If you say, you must choose
If there are any flaws, there are probably only two points. First, the story is too true. Second, Beauty is not objective enough in some places, and her sympathy for the families affects her writing to some extent.
Apart from these two points, Liang Jian had to admit that the article on Beauty was very well written. If it were published, it would definitely cause an uproar in Liangzhou and even the whole country.
Another thing I have to mention is that in the manuscript, the beauty mentioned Liang Jian in many places, and even vaguely described Liang Jian as a good official who loved the people and won the trust of his family members.
After Liang Jian finished reading, he put down the manuscript and did not speak immediately. Opposite him, the beautiful woman looked at him expectantly, waiting for comments. Liang Jian hesitated in his heart whether to publish this article or not. He was different from beautiful women, who could do anything.
He stood firmly from the perspective of his family members and from the standpoint of absolute justice, loudly criticizing the construction company and the Liangzhou government. But Liang Jian couldn't do it. Liang Jian had more things to consider.
Liang Jian suddenly realized that this was the change in him. This change could not be distinguished as good or bad. It was just because the height where he stood now was different. He looked at things from a different angle, so there were things that needed to be considered.
Naturally, things are different. In the past, he may have thought that justice must be done. But now, he considers that in addition to trying his best to protect justice, he also needs to consider stability. This is a change.
Maybe the beauty had been waiting for a long time, so she felt uneasy and asked in a low voice: "What do you think? Is it okay to write like this?"
Liang Jian put away those thoughts in his heart and answered seriously: "Based on the manuscript, you wrote very well."
Liang Jian's praise did not make the beauty look happy at all, because she understood what the prefix in Liang Jian's words represented.
She said: "Is there any problem? If so, just tell me."
Liang Jian felt a little regretful. His eyes moved down, and he suddenly scanned the last signature on the manuscript, which was, Beauty Yang. Liang Jian was stunned, looked at the beauty in surprise, and asked: "So you are really called Beauty?"
The beauty curled her lips and said, "What else? There's no point in lying to you."
Obviously, the beauty's mood is no longer as beautiful as before. Liang Jian put down the manuscript and said, "Are you calling me a big liar in your heart now?"
The beauty curled her lips and said, "No."
Liang Jian smiled slightly and said: "Actually, as a journalist, you should know that people like us in the government, in addition to considering whether this matter is right or wrong, we also have to consider another issue...
"
"I know, it's stable!" Before Liang Jian finished speaking, he was interrupted by the beauty. The beauty showed a look of disdain on her face and continued: "But, have you ever thought about it, when you hide something for the sake of stability?
When the truth is revealed, it has actually made the people's hearts unstable. No one wants to be a fool who is always kept in the dark! Those of you who are officials, you really don't know what you are doing when you are a common people.
What a time it feels like!”
The beauty looked at Liang Jian with more disappointment in her eyes. Liang Jian explained: "You are right. But have you ever thought about the consequences if this article is published?"
The beauty frowned and asked, "What do you mean, this article will not be published?"
Liang Jian was startled, looking at the anger gradually emerging from the beauty's eyes, and said hurriedly: "It's not that I don't want to post it. It's that I want to change it. Don't be impatient, just listen to what I have to say."
The beauty endured it and said, "Then tell me."
Liang Jian sighed and said: "You heard it when I was at the construction site in the afternoon. I promised those people that I would give them an explanation in three days. If this manuscript is sent out now, then tomorrow morning, the entire Jiangzhong
This article will be read in the province and even the whole country. Needless to say, public opinion will definitely turn towards the people, even if you write about me well in the article. The government's actions are both good and bad. But in the eyes of some people, they cannot be touched.
They think that the government should be perfect. But, who can guarantee this? The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. With so many officials in the government, it is not surprising that there are one or two mouse droppings. But
, they can’t understand these people. They will accuse the Liangzhou government, the Jiangzhong provincial government, and even the national government. If someone with intentions deliberately takes advantage of it, it has happened many times that people besieged government offices.
It is unlikely to happen again. It may even evolve into a vicious incident. Do you want such a thing to happen?"
The beauty was silent, and after a few seconds, she said, "What you said is just a hypothesis. Maybe it won't develop like this at all." Her voice was a little weak.
Liang Jian said: "Never be too sure about something that has not happened. You can just vent your feelings for a while, but I can't. I have to take into account all possible situations, so that I can deal with any unexpected situation.
When it happens, control it as soon as possible. So, you can be angry with me, but I hope you can understand me."
"Why should I forgive you?" the beauty asked.
Liang Jian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Because, there are not many beautiful reporters like you who are both beautiful and have a sense of justice."
The beauty finally smiled. Liang Jian felt relieved. Men always have an innate liking for beautiful women. What's more, the beauty is a woman who is not pretentious and has a strong sense of justice.
Liang Jian said: "In this case, I will take the manuscript back later and revise it first. After I have revised it, I will show it to you. What do you think?"
The beauty glanced at him and said, "I can't tell you, can you still let me send it out like this?"
Liang Jian smiled but said nothing.
The two sat for a while and chatted about unrelated topics. After Liang Jian put the beauty into a taxi, he went back to the hotel. While in the car, Liang Jian saved the beauty's phone number in his mobile phone. When he saved the name,
, I had already typed the words Miss Yang, but when I pressed the save button, Liang Jian suddenly changed it to Reporter Yang.
Liang Jian didn't know what the psychology behind this behavior was, perhaps because he was afraid that Xiang Jin would see it and misunderstand it. When a wife sees that her husband has a beautiful woman's phone number in his cell phone, she will inevitably not think much about it.
