What do you mean I'm very proud, and I don't know where you started talking about it?"

He sneered, "You are so eloquent, no wonder many people are confused by you. Forget it, I won't tell you this anymore. Mayor Feng, I would like to ask you, what is it about me, Mr. Chen, that I'm sorry for?

You? When you first came to our Shangjiang City, I supported your work very much. I fully supported and recognized all the suggestions you made and the people you wanted to use, because I think you are a very capable person.

I am a leading cadre, and I also think that you are fair and fair in your actions. But what about you? You actually contradicted me and even spoke ill of me behind my back. Recently, you went to the leaders to report my so-called problems. Mayor Feng, I am

I want to ask you, why are you doing this? To put it bluntly, if you just kill me, can you take my place? Don’t think that you showed your face in front of Secretary Fang this time, so that

Secretary Fang is very proud of you for taking a new look at you. Mayor Feng, let me tell you, the waters in this officialdom are very deep, and it is not as simple as you think."

I don’t know why, but I couldn’t help laughing at this time, and I said: “Secretary Chen, I don’t know what you wanted to talk to me about when you called me here today, but I think our conversation like this

The content is not interesting at all, and it is also ridiculous. But since you gave me such an opportunity today, I beg you, I beg you to listen carefully to what I say from the bottom of my heart. Is that okay?"

His hand went to the ashtray, but he found that the cigarette he had just lit had burned down to only the cigarette butt. He threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray, and then took out a cigarette from the cigarette box.

When I lit it, a line of green smoke curled up in front of his face, making me feel that his face suddenly became illusory and ethereal.

I'm waiting for his permission.

In this case, I can only wait for his permission before continuing. This is actually the same issue: rules.

Although he said so much about me, I should follow the rules and never give him any excuse to accuse me.

He took a few deep puffs, then rolled the cigarette to the edge of the ashtray a few times, and all the ash fell into the ashtray. Perhaps because of his uneven force, the cigarette butt fell off, and the cigarette was immediately extinguished. He simply

He threw the remaining part into the ashtray, and then said to me: "Okay. Tell me, I would like to hear what you say from the bottom of your heart."

Every word he said to me was sarcastic. But I felt that he was actually very excited at the moment. Although he looked arrogant and condescending, I knew that he was actually very unhappy inside at the moment.

Calm, otherwise he wouldn't have made the cigarette look like that just now. Of course, I also understand that the reason why he is not calm at the moment is because of his dissatisfaction with me, especially when he sees that I don't have any fear in front of him.

in the case of.

I sorted out my thoughts in a short period of time, and then said: "Secretary Chen, I have always respected you and respected you very much. Whether it is your leadership level or your forward thinking, they are all worthy of my respect from the bottom of my heart."

.I am definitely not lying, let alone flattery. This is completely my true inner thoughts. I still feel the same way no matter before or now."

He waved his hand towards me and said, "Please be honest. There are many people who say this to me, and you are not missing."

I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart: He was indeed too proud, and even the flattery had to be chosen depending on who said it. I said: "Secretary Chen, whether you believe it or not, this is indeed my reality.

Because of this, when I see that you are becoming less and less willing to listen to others' advice on some issues, and less and less concerned about the impact of the situation, I feel very anxious, because I don't want you to make any mistakes. That's right.

Because of this, I tried to come to you again and again. Of course, maybe I was wrong, maybe I misunderstood you, but you didn’t give me a chance to have a good conversation with you, and you were even very angry with me because of it. Secretary Chen,

I remember what you said to me. You once told me that if I have any suggestions for you, you should speak them out boldly even when you are in a bad mood. But...

..”

At this time, he said coldly: "Isn't it just a woman's thing? You are almost the same as me. It's ridiculous for you to say such high-sounding things in front of me!"

I was immediately embarrassed, really embarrassed, because he mentioned my real weakness. I smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe. We are all men, so it's not surprising that we are on such an issue. But Secretary Chen,

I really don’t understand why you promoted so many female cadres in such a short period of time regardless of other people’s opinions. You are the municipal party committee secretary, and such a thing may cause unnecessary trouble to you. In fact, it’s not just

I and other members of the Standing Committee are worried about you, because no one wants our top leader to be discussed by others. In fact, in the final analysis, this kind of worry is still about respect and concern for you..."

He immediately interrupted me, "You also said that you didn't interact with your colleagues in private. It turns out that you have already formed a small group below. Humph! I hate people who are conspiracy behind the scenes! Don't think you have any background.

You can ignore my existence and think that you can go to the higher authorities to sue me. I am not afraid, and I will not let you succeed."

I suddenly felt that I could not communicate with him at all, "Secretary Chen, whether you believe it or not, everything I said before is the truth. Maybe you have misunderstood me too deeply. Secretary Chen, since you

At this point, I have to make a statement. Secretary Chen, I have never gone anywhere to file a complaint against you, and I have never had the idea of ​​​​taking you down and replacing you. In fact, you should know me best.

Secretary Chen, maybe the more I explain this, the more you think I’m being fake. I can’t help it. I also have to explain that Secretary Fang summoned me. That matter was Secretary Fang’s intention, and I was just based on what Secretary Fang wanted to do that day.

He gave a simple answer to my question. I think it would have been like this if it had been anyone else. And I never told anyone about it afterward. As for why so many people knew about it.

The reason for this matter is very simple. Secretary Chen, this is what I have said. Believe it or not, what I said is from the bottom of my heart."

He remained silent, then took out another cigarette and lit it. After taking a few puffs, he said to me: "Maybe I misunderstood you. Okay, let's not talk about this matter. Mayor Feng, today I

The main reason I called you here is to ask you another question, and I hope you can tell me the truth."

I hesitated for a moment, and then said cautiously: "You can ask."

He looked at me, and then asked slowly: "You have investigated some things, mainly about the major events that happened in the city. Mayor Feng, please tell me, please give me all your investigation results."

Have I reported it?"

My heart suddenly tightened. His question was so direct and powerful that I didn’t know how to answer it for a moment.

He was looking at me, looking at me with piercing eyes. At this moment, I was thinking in my heart like lightning. I knew that I could never tell him the truth about this issue, but I had to let him know.

He believes.

Now I fully understand that the purpose of him calling me here today is not at all about the previous issues. Maybe he thinks the previous issues are not important, or maybe he has already determined that I am who he imagined.

Such a person. But his real purpose was on this issue. He gave me a lightning blow, and his purpose was to leave me with no way out.

I quickly weighed the pros and cons of this matter in my mind, and made a decision immediately. I immediately replied: "Secretary Chen, I have told you everything I know about the situation? I

I didn’t make any reservations. You can ask Director Lu of the Municipal Public Security Bureau about this matter, he knows best.”

Just now, I made an immediate decision because it suddenly occurred to me that the key to this matter is not how much truth I should tell. The reason is very simple. If I tell something new today, no matter how much truth I tell,

The new situation will only make him doubt my previous integrity towards him, and will also lead to "confirmation" of all his suspicions about me. In the final analysis, this is where his real trap lies.

Therefore, I must stick to my previous statement without any changes. If he learns some new information from other channels, I can only refuse to admit it.

He was looking at me for several seconds, then withdrew his eyes, and then pressed the cigarette butt hard into the ashtray, and then he said to me: "Mayor Feng, okay. We are here today.

That's it. Whether what you told me today is true or not, it doesn't matter anymore, because I'm already very disappointed in you. But it doesn't matter, it's just a matter of personal relationship between the two of us, so

Whatever you say at work, you have to continue to do it well. We are all party cadres, and we should distinguish between public and private matters. As department-level cadres, you and I should have this awareness."

I have to admit that these few words he said were quite appropriate. Of course, his tone was still condescending and contemptuous of me.

I smiled bitterly and said, "Secretary Chen, you can think whatever you want. Anyway, I feel guilty."

He stopped talking or paying attention to me. He immediately took a document and started sketching on it. I stood up and said to him: "Secretary Chen, I'm leaving."

He didn't even look at me, so I left knowingly.

After leaving his office, I couldn't help but smile bitterly: There was really nothing I could do against this man. But I still breathed a long sigh of relief in my heart, because I didn't fall into the trap he had set.

One weekend half a month later, Lin Yu called me. She asked me to go to her house for dinner. Of course I went as ordered. Not to mention it was such a critical time, even on weekdays I would not

To her liking.

She stewed chicken soup and cooked several home-cooked dishes. Without wine, we ate casually like a family.

"How is it? Does the food I cook taste good?" she asked me with a smile.

I nodded, "It's delicious. Sister, you are so busy at work, how come you still have time to cook?"

She smiled and said: "Actually, I still like to eat food cooked at home. I don't add too much MSG, and the raw materials I buy are all genuine. Only this kind of food makes me feel comfortable."

I smiled and said, "That's true. There was a period of time when I was out socializing every day. What I wanted most during that time was to come home and cook a pot of porridge, and then eat it with pickles. I feel very comfortable just thinking about it."

She smiled and said, "Yes. People always think that eating in hotels every day is a great enjoyment for us. Don't they know that we also feel very painful because of this?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, this is how society is. People always envy what they don't have. In fact, many times we always desire to be happier than others, but when we look back, we find that the happiest person is actually ourselves."

She immediately laughed and said, "You are becoming more and more thoughtful now. What you say is often full of philosophy."

I was a little embarrassed, "Sister, what I'm saying is what I really think in my heart. Do I need to show off in front of you?"

She smiled and said: "That's true. Oh, by the way, let me ask you something: If you were to be the mayor of Shangjiang City, who do you think would be your assistant, that is, the position of executive deputy mayor?

Who is the most suitable?"

I was stunned immediately and looked at her in surprise, "Sister, are you kidding me?"

She looked at me with a smile and said: "When have I ever made such a joke with you? Recently, Secretary Fang instructed our Provincial Party Committee Organization Department to make a plan for the adjustment of your Shangjiang City team. He initially determined your Municipal Party Committee Secretary

and the candidate for mayor, and also asked us to make adjustments to other team members. His principle is one: the right person should sit in the right seat. And you are the candidate for mayor of Shangjiang City proposed by Secretary Fang, and you are the only one.

Choose someone. So I just want to give you a deputy who can fully cooperate with your work. The main purpose of calling you here today is to ask you what you think."

Such a good thing happened so suddenly that I was almost confused for a moment. But I quickly calmed down, because she had actually hinted to me about such a result a long time ago, and I had already had it.

Premonition.

At this time, I was not particularly concerned about the question she raised to me, and besides, I still needed to think about it briefly. Now, I was more concerned about other questions, so I immediately asked her:

: "Sister, who will be our municipal party committee secretary and what are the arrangements for Mayor Liu?"

She smiled at me and then told me a completely unexpected result...
