Minister Zhou's words are true. Although the words "Serve the people wholeheartedly" are engraved in the lobby of every government building and can be seen when entering and exiting. However, those who have a little bit of power in their hands can really touch it.
Does your own conscience say that you are whole-hearted?
Liang Jian felt that there must be some. He still wanted to believe that there were still some good things in this world. However, there were probably very few such people.
Power and money, these two things, have always been the center of human ideological struggle from the beginning of human history to the present. There are very few people who can stick to their true intentions. Some people will get lost in it. The remaining ones can only be grasped.
To reach the balance point between power, money and conscience, it is like crossing a single-plank bridge, walking on it cautiously. However, despite being so careful, countless people are still rushing to walk onto this single-plank bridge, even without hesitation. It can be seen that this power and money
Two words, how charming it is.
At this moment, the few people present, except for Yao Song and Liang Jian, who were at a lower level, the rest were already close to the core of power. What they experienced was different from what Liang Jian and others experienced.
After listening to Minister Zhou's words, Zhang Qiang looked at him for a while, then at Secretary Zhao of the Discipline Inspection Commission, then turned to Minister Zhou and said: "Speaking of which, there were some unhappiness between me and Lao Zhou before.
"
When Minister Zhou heard this, he smiled sheepishly and said, "That's because I was ignorant before and didn't understand your hard work, secretary. You don't still remember it, do you?"
Zhang Qiang smiled and said: "How can I not remember it? If it hadn't been for those things, and there wouldn't have been your support later. Are you right?"
Minister Zhou smiled. Zhang Qiang then said: "Actually, the person I am most worried about when I leave Jiangzhong this time is you." Minister Zhou's smile faded and he said nothing. Zhang Qiang smiled and then said: "Don't worry about me either.
Angry. We have worked together for so many years, and I still know what you are like. Everything else is good, but you are not good at all. You are a little too tactful."
Having said this, the muscles on Minister Zhou's face tightened a bit. But Zhang Qiang still smiled and seemed not to notice Minister Zhou's unhappiness at all. He continued: "Being exquisite is sometimes not a bad thing, but Cao Cao once said:
I would rather betray the people of the world than let the world betray me. You may not be able to get used to the fact that you have both sides. Especially when new officials take office, once you let some of them mistakenly think that you have deep and wide influence in Jiangzhong.
, they will inevitably be afraid of you in their hearts. If you think about it carefully, if any of them are afraid of you, then you probably won’t be around for long."
Minister Zhou lowered his head for a while and then said in a low voice: "Secretary, you taught me a lesson, I will pay attention to it in the future." Zhang Qiang sighed: "I know you are probably not convinced, but I am leaving soon.
Well, what I said is just because of our past friendship, regardless of the work relationship, I still treat you as a friend."
"I understand. Secretary, you are doing it for my own good, I understand that." Minister Zhou replied.
Zhang Qiang smiled and said, "As long as you understand." After saying that, he looked at Secretary Zhao of the Discipline Inspection Commission, but did not speak immediately. Secretary Zhao lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice: "Secretary, please stop talking, I know.
My own fault."
Zhang Qiang said: "If you know it, you should change it. If you can't change it, just find a way to restrain it. Don't regret it later when you stumble." Secretary Zhao nodded and said, "I remember it."
Zhang Qiang nodded and looked at Gao Chenghan again, but his eyes only stayed for a while, then quickly passed by, and finally landed on Liang Jianjian. He smiled and said, "I'm not worried about you. Even if you come,
As a new official, you are in Yongzhou. After all, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so it will not have much influence. Moreover, although I am no longer in Jiangzhong, Xiao Zhao and Lao Zhou are both here, and they will more or less take care of you. Right, Lao
Zhou?" As he spoke, Zhang Qiang glanced at Minister Zhou and looked at him with a slight smile. Minister Zhou quickly replied with a smile: "This is natural. Liang Jian is a young talent with a bright future. Although the few of us can see it,
He seems to be a little more advanced than him, but the road is actually pretty much gone. From now on, I’m afraid we will have to fawn over him.”
Zhang Qiang glared at him and said: "I just told you, it's only been a few minutes, and this problem has started again." Minister Zhou said sarcastically: "I'm used to it! I'm used to it!"
At this time, Secretary Zhao next to him said: "Secretary, don't worry. In the past two years, we have watched Liang Jian come forward step by step. No matter what, we will help if we can."
After hearing this, Zhang Qiang said to Minister Zhou: "You, there are some things you really should learn from Xiao Zhao." Minister Zhou nodded quickly. Next to him, Liang Jian thanked him in time: "Thank you, Secretary Zhao and Minister Zhou."
At this time, Gao Chenghan interjected: "Since Director Xia is leaving, I think maybe we should move Yao Song's position while he is still in his seat. After all, he is one of our own, and he will still treat us the same after he comes up.
There are some benefits.”
As soon as Gao Chenghan finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Yao Song. Yao Song was a little uncomfortable. Xia Churong said: "I think it's okay too. Xiao Yao's work ability is still very good. At that time, Hua Jianjun's matter
, he made a lot of efforts.”
Minister Zhou nodded and said, "Since Chu Rong thinks it's okay, then go ahead."
Zhang Qiang finally said: "Then it's settled. We'll discuss the details later. While Chu Rong is still in his seat, decide as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams."
Several people nodded. Liang Jian saw that Yao Song was still a little confused and reminded him quickly: "Yao Song, why don't you thank the secretary and the others quickly?"
Yao Song came to his senses and quickly thanked her.
Except for Gao Chenghan, everyone seemed to have given their explanations. Liang Jian thought that this conversation should be coming to an end at this point. I wonder what happened to Xiang Jin and Hu Xiaoying inside?
He couldn't help but feel worried. At this time, someone suddenly said: "Why didn't Lao Wang come today?" Wang Yu is the director of the Propaganda Department and has been in the position for several years. Hu Xiaoying is the deputy director.
Hu Xiaoying came, but Wang Yu didn't. It was indeed a bit strange. Liang Jian looked at Zhang Qiang. Although Wang Yu and Zhang Qiang were not very closely related, he would not call Hu Xiaoying but not Wang Yu. This was obviously a mistake for Wang.
Liang Jian felt that even if Zhang Qiang was about to leave, he would not do such an inconsiderate thing.
Sure enough, Zhang Qiang replied: "Something happened in his hometown, so he took leave on Friday and went back. It will probably take two or three days before he can return to Ningzhou."
Minister Zhou obviously knew something about Wang Yu's personal affairs. After hearing Zhang Qiang's words, he asked, "Did something happen to his old mother?"
Zhang Qiang nodded and sighed: "Human, it would be painful to be like this when you get old. I'm afraid Wang Yu is also heartbroken." Secretary Zhao then sighed and said, "Why didn't he put her in a nursing home?"
.Aren’t there a few nursing homes in the suburbs of Ningzhou with pretty good conditions?”
When Liang Jian mentioned the nursing home, he suddenly thought of a person. He hadn't thought of this person for a long time. He didn't know how he was doing now.
Liang Jian was lost in thought when Ge Hui suddenly walked out of the room, walked up to them, and said with a smile: "How was your chat? It's getting cold at night, why don't you go inside?"
After hearing this, Zhang Qiang stood up and said, "Then go inside."
Everyone stood up and walked inside. When they arrived at the door, they saw Xiang Jin coming out of the house and met Liang Jian and the others. Liang Jian pulled Xiang Jin and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiang Jin smiled and said, "It's okay. It's a bit cold. I'll go get a coat from the car."
Liang Jian said: "Then I will go with you."
Xiang Jin stopped them: "No, just stay with Secretary Zhang and the others. The car is right next to them. It'll be fine."
Liang Jian didn't insist. After following Zhang Qiang and the others into the house, Liang Jian saw Hu Xiaoying talking to Ge Hui who had just entered the house. After the two said a few words, Hu Xiaoying came over. Zhang Qiang looked at Hu Xiaoying and said with a smile.
: "Thank you for your hard work today. I invited you to come for dinner and asked you, the guest, to help clean up."
Hu Xiaoying replied with a smile: "What does this have to do with it? Sister Hui and I get along well, so we can just talk."
"Then from now on, you can come and accompany her more often when you have time, so that I can feel more at ease." Zhang Qiang said. When Liang Jian heard this, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Won't sister-in-law follow you?"
Ge Hui interjected: "I haven't retired yet, and there are a lot of things going on at Jiangzhong University. I'm afraid I can't go there. However, it's only been a few years, and it will be over if I persevere." After saying that, Ge Hui said again
Said: "You go to the study to talk, Sister Hu has already made the tea."
Zhang Qiang nodded and led people into the study. Liang Jian and Yao Song walked at the end, but found that Hu Xiaoying had not followed. He turned around and saw Hu Xiaoying going out, while Ge Hui turned around and went upstairs.
Xiang Jin was also outside, and Hu Xiaoying also went out. Liang Jian suddenly felt something in his heart. He stopped, stood at the door and thought for a while, then said to the other side: "I'll go to the bathroom first."
Zhang Qiang glanced at him, and the look in his eyes made Liang Jian feel like he was being seen through.
Liang Jian gritted his teeth and came out. After hesitating in the lobby for a few seconds, he walked out the door. When he arrived at the door, he saw no one in the garden. Liang Jian walked a few more steps outside. When he was almost at the door, he found that the courtyard
Outside the door, Xiang Jin and Hu Xiaoying stood there.
Liang Jian was about to open the door and go out. Suddenly someone pulled him. When he looked back, it was Ge Hui. Didn't she go upstairs? Liang Jian was surprised in his heart, but he saw Ge Hui smiled and said: "Let the two of them
It doesn't matter if we have a chat, some knots have to be untied. Since you can't let go of anyone now, why go out."
Liang Jian stood there stunned for a while, then followed Ge Hui into the house.
"Are you wondering why I know about you?" In the room, Ge Hui looked at Liang Jian and asked with a smile. Liang Jian nodded. Ge Hui smiled and said, "Zhang Qiang told me some.
Yes, I can see some of it myself. In fact, the people here today can probably see it to some extent."
Liang Jian asked subconsciously: "Is it so obvious?"
Ge Hui glanced at him, smiled and said nothing, but the answer was already obvious.
