Chapter Fourty-Twenty-Three: Virtue of Righteousness
Powerful Career - Chapter 423: Haoran’s Righteousness
After returning to his office, Lu Yan directly threw a stack of invoices to Song Yinghong: "Go to the accounting department to settle the business trip expenses and then go home. Everyone else should go back and rest. We will go to work as usual tomorrow."
After explaining to Song Yinghong, Lu Yan watched Song Yinghong twist her plump butt and walked out of the office, and said to Lou Bin: "Mayor Lou, you can go back."
Lou Bin was very surprised and said: "Why do I have to go back when I just arrived?"
"You don't want to leave yet? Then I'll treat you to dinner." In fact, Lu Yan really wanted to talk to Lou Bin.
Qiu Pao and others hurried away after receiving Lu Yan's notice. They had no intention of chatting with people like Lou Bin who had made mistakes. This is called seeking benefits and avoiding disasters. It is human nature, and Lou Bin is already as bad as water.
, who wants to associate with such a person?
Badama also glanced at Lou Bin with disdain. She was very disdainful of Lou Bin who had no sense of family responsibility.
Counting the people in the third group, only Yang Peng and Lu Yan sympathize with Lou Bin. Yang Peng is a person who has been there before. He is older and has rich life experience. He is used to the unpredictable side of life. He does not discriminate against anyone.
, don’t take any problem too seriously. Song Yinghong and Badama especially hate men’s cheating, far more disdainful than those corrupt officials they meet. This is the reason why their stance determines their emotions.
Lu Yan was able to say that he would invite Lou Bin to dinner because he almost ended up in the same fate as Lou Bin, and he had a sympathy for each other.
Lou Bin's mentality was indeed good, and he did not refuse and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you here."
"Well, I have one more thing to do. I'll call you when I finish it."
What Lu Yan had to do was say goodbye to Xu Richeng. Even though it was a small farewell, it was of great significance.
Xu Richeng is the person who admires him the most. He can be said to be Lu Yan's nobleman in his career. Now that Xu Richeng is being transferred out of Xizhou Province and will not be able to come back to Xizhou again, Lu Yan feels that he must express his feelings.
, and said it personally in front of Xu Richeng.
This is also a way of communicating with each other, and it has nothing to do with work. From Lu Yan's point of view, his farewell to Xu Richeng was purely out of respect for the respected elders.
Lu Yan drove back home and found a piece of calligraphy that he had prepared. Lin Zhijie asked Fang Zhengyuan, the most famous calligrapher in Xizhou Province, to write it.
Fang Zhengyuan easily refused to write for others, but he could not refuse Lin Zhijie because he owed Lin Zhijie a favor. As a prosecutor, Lin Zhijie had many people who owed him favors, and it was very easy for him to want others to owe him favors.
.
After Lin Zhijie found Fang Zhengyuan, Fang Zhengyuan wrote this calligraphy, and Lu Yan had been waiting for the opportunity to give it to Xu Richeng.
Fang Zhengyuan's calligraphy is famous all over the country. It is a relatively precious work of art, but it has no market value because Fang Zhengyuan does not make a living by selling calligraphy. Of course, if someone pays 100,000 or 1 million to buy this calligraphy,
That's another story. Anyway, Fang Zhengyuan's calligraphy has no price for the time being.
It would be more appropriate to give something like this to Xu Richeng. If it is something valuable, it would be difficult to get rid of it. It took Lu Yan a long time to prepare this. Artworks are priceless, and it is fair to say that they are not valuable.
, it can be said to be a priceless treasure.
Lu Yan called Hao Wu while driving the car and said, "Secretary Hao, are you still busy?"
"Well, I'm not too busy. I'm busy with the handover." The provincial party committee secretary is about to be transferred, and Wu Peidong is here. Naturally, he has to communicate with Xu Richeng. Hao Wu is mainly busy now with the handover between Xu Richeng and Qian Yunchang. Xu Richeng
I have a lot of free time, and I leave all official matters to Qian Yunchang.
"I would like to meet Secretary Xu, is it convenient?" Lu Yan made the request directly. After all, he didn't know whether Xu Richeng was busy or whether the timing was inappropriate.
"How long until you can come?" Hao Wu asked after a slight pause.
"We'll be there in ten minutes." Lu Yan said as he looked at his watch.
"Okay, Secretary Xu has no arrangements for half an hour, so come over."
"Okay, thank you Secretary Hao. You are going to be promoted this time. I will practice it for you that day." Xu Richeng is leaving, and Hao Wu will follow him to the capital to take up his post.
Hao Wu smiled and said, "Forget it, I've had too many meals these days. Do we still care about eating?"
"I just want to express my gratitude." Hao Wu and Lu Yan were very casual, and Lu Yan also spoke casually.
"I don't think it's necessary this time. Let's talk about it later. Maybe I will come back in the future." Hao Wu directly rejected Lu Yan this time.
Listening to Hao Wu's words, Lu Yan's heart moved. Logically speaking, Xu Richeng was the leader who went out to Xizhou. Hao Wu would not return to Xizhou after he was taken to the ministry as his secretary. However, Hao Wu said this now,
I wonder if I got any kind of promise from Xu Il-sung.
"Okay, I understand. Write down the favor I owe you." Lu Yan said. In fact, he knew in his heart that his relationship with Hao Wu was not as deep as his relationship with Gao Jia. Gao Jia was Lu Yan's
He is relatively straightforward in front of him, but there is always a layer of mist between him and Hao Wu.
Lu Yan guessed that it was because of Liu Danni that Hao Wu was alienated from Lu Yan. Liu Danni was like a double-edged sword between Lu Yan and Hao Wu. Every time Lu Yan asked Hao Wu for help
, Hao Wu always spared no effort to help him, but when it came to emotional communication, he was far inferior to Gao Jia.
This is the difference between closeness and distance. If people need to communicate emotionally, they must first trust each other. Only after they have a certain amount of trust can they open their hearts. The relationship between Lu Yan and Liu Danni determines Hao Wu’s love for him.
It is impossible to open up. Then there is no issue of trust. From a certain relationship point of view, they tend to be more like relatives.
It is more difficult to turn relatives into friends. This is not a question of whether the relationship is strong or not, but that there are many scruples and the need to avoid suspicion. People who are involved in official careers realize this, even if they are not related by blood, they must hide it
When it comes to others, it is best not to let others know who is related to whom.
For example, the relationship between Gu Muli and Hu Yanzhi is like this. Everyone already knows it, but Lu Yan, who is new here, has no idea. If Song Yinghong hadn't been asked, he might never have known about this relationship.
Lu Yan lingered on the road for a while and saw that it was almost half an hour before he went straight to the provincial party committee compound. Hao Wu had already called the guard before, and Lu Yan's car drove directly in.
After going upstairs, Lu Yan went straight to Hao Wu's office. Lu Yan should be very familiar with this house. Lu Yan had been here countless times when Gao Jia and Hao Wu were the owners of this house.
Hao Wu's office door was ajar, Lu Yan knocked on the door, and Hao Wu said from inside: "Please come in."
After seeing Lu Yan, Hao Wu did not exchange greetings, but said with a smile: "You came just in time, Secretary Xu is still in the office."
It's not that Lu Yan came at the right time, but that Hao Wu arranged it just right.
Hao Wu brought Lu Yan to Xu Richeng's office. Xu Richeng was very happy after seeing Lu Yan: "You're here. I'm thinking of you too. Sit down quickly."
Hao Wu put two cups of tea on the coffee table and quietly left. Lu Yan looked at Xu Richeng with an expression of admiration in his eyes and said, "Secretary Xu, you are leaving. I will listen to your instructions."
"What instructions? There are no instructions. They are all people working for the party. Stop saying those hypocritical words. Are you still used to your job?" Having said that, Xu Richeng was obviously very upset after hearing Lu Yan's words.
Happy.
"I'm used to it, it's relatively smooth." Lu Yan said with some reservations, it was relatively smooth. If he hadn't met Gu Mulli, it would have been very smooth.
"That's good. From now on, when you get to the capital, go and see me, an old man." Xu Richeng looked at Lu Yan and smiled kindly.
"Secretary Xu will be even busier in the future." Lu Yan said flatteringly.
"No matter how busy you are, you are still from my hometown. After leaving Xizhou Province, we are half fellow villagers. When fellow fellows see fellow fellows, tears well up in our eyes." Xu Richeng said in a very relaxed tone, joking with Lu Yan.
Xu Richeng rarely had any free time, so he became more and more enthusiastic when chatting with Lu Yan. From Sidaogou Town to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, he brought up Lou Bin's case: "Recently I investigated a case in Tiehe City.
, it’s about the cheating case of Deputy Mayor Lou Bin. Now, Lou Bin’s case has been handed over to Director Gu. This case is quite special.”
"What's so special about it?" Xu Richeng said very carefully.
Lu Yan explained the relationship between Lou Bin and Wu Yufang, emphasizing that after Lou Bin's accident, there was no one to intercede. After Xu Richeng listened, he closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Lu Yan did not dare to disturb his contemplation, and the two of them just sat like this. After a long time, Xu Richeng said: "Okay, I understand. This is Lou Bin's fault."
Lu Yan didn't quite understand the meaning of Xu Richeng's words, but he heard that Xu Richeng didn't want to talk anymore, so he took out Fang Zhengyuan's calligraphy and painting, placed it in front of Xu Richeng, and said: "Mr. Fang Zhengyuan knew that Secretary Xu was leaving, so he wrote
I have received this calligraphy and painting and entrusted me to forward it to Secretary Xu."
Xu Richeng opened it and saw the four characters "Haoran Zhengqi" written on it.
Xu Richeng smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, thank you."
Lu Yan saw that Xu Richeng was in a good mood, stood up and said, "Secretary Xu, my mission has been completed. Do you have any other instructions?"
"Work hard and don't let down my hopes for you. I accept these four words, and you should keep them in mind."
Chapter completed!
