It's just that Ma Yingjie won't ask. Including Xiao Jiang, Ma Yingjie didn't ask. Even when Xiao Jiang sent the girl to his bed, he didn't dare to completely believe Xiao Jiang. The more he threw such and such temptations at him, the more Ma Yingjie did not dare to trust a person.

invited Ma Yingjie to dinner this time, He Zilong didn't call the person surnamed Cao, and it was probably obvious that Ma Yingjie didn't like such a person very much. This time, He Zilong said that he and Xiao Jiang invited Ma Yingjie to dinner alone, mainly to report to Ma Yingjie, the words were very polite, and Ma Yingjie was raised very high, the left leader, the right secretary general. But when it was time to actually eat, Ma Yingjie found that He Zilong had two more women, one was there last time, and the other was an unfamiliar face. He Zilong introduced that his surname is Yang, his name is Yang Yang, he graduated from Chinese opera, and now he is a member of the Beipiao family, and he is about to serve as the second female lead in a TV series filmed by a certain director.

Ma Yingjie used to come to Beijing mostly to follow Situ Lan, although he had heard of such things, but he had only heard of them. Now I know that as soon as this leader comes to Beijing, there will be people like He Zilong, who specialize in such roles as leaders, all of whom graduated from Chinese opera and Beiying, as if they have a very high status and are very worthy of being recognized by leaders. Now Ma Yingjie knows that this is not the case, it is another meaning, it seems that when the local officials arrive in the capital, there is no Chinese opera or Beiying girls to accompany them, it is not exciting. If he can take him to the hotel, develop into a bed, and spend a lingering night, the official's worth will immediately skyrocket. Yes, several officials are not eager for their worth to explode immediately. This is about the big officials who have fallen from power, and there will always be such and such star actors caught in it. It's just that Ma Yingjie didn't expect that after he rose from the deputy county magistrate of Qin County to the deputy secretary general of Wudu, He Zilong would respond to him in the way of corresponding leaders, and if he was replaced by someone else, he would definitely be happy. At his level, logically speaking, it is not as good as letting He Zilong spend such a cost. But the more He Zilong promoted Ma Yingjie to the leadership position, the more Ma Yingjie felt that there was an article here, as far as the article was done, Ma Yingjie found that he still didn't touch the door. Could it be that when he came to Beijing this time, without Situ Lan, he really couldn't enter the door?

Ma Yingjie is still very sad and passive. But he has to be patient with He Zilong. He briefly glanced at the girl named Yang Yang, who was in her early twenties, with long hair dyed green and green, and said that this was an artistic act.

Ma Yingjie also went to college and played with artistic behavior, but Ma Yingjie really didn't feel cold at all about Yang Yang's artistic behavior. It's just that he still looked at He Zilong and said, "Director He, you are really a powerful person, and you are always surrounded by these beautiful girls who are so beautiful that you can't open your eyes." Happiness, happiness. ”

He Zilong wasn't sure whether Ma Yingjie was telling the truth or not, so he hurriedly said: "Secretary-General, don't get me wrong, I'm a painstaking, since the Secretary-General has come to Beijing so far, I can't just boil water, why do I have to have a little appetizer? Besides, this man, who doesn't like the feeling of being surrounded by a few beautiful women? Isn't it, Secretary-General?" He Zilong said while observing Ma Yingjie's face. He was ordered to receive Ma Yingjie, besides, Ma Yingjie's current identity, although the level is not high, where is the weight, he doesn't dare to really offend Ma Yingjie. Besides, he can't offend Ma Yingjie.

"Is this an aperitif?" Ma Yingjie looked at He Zilong suspiciously, this person really dared to do it. But He Zilong said very calmly: "It is also a kind of fun to call a few beautiful little sisters and accompany the secretary general to drink, which is lively and lively." Besides, what are the interests of a few old men who are drinking?" He Zilong stayed in Beijing, and he always learned to speak from Beijingers intentionally or unintentionally, but when these words came out, why was it so awkward in Ma Yingjie's ears?

"It's just that it's so lively, I'm afraid I can't stand it, right?" Ma Yingjie replied to He Zilong angrily, and sat down a little unhappily.

Xiao Jiang saw that this frame was wrong, and hurriedly said: "The secretary general has worked hard in the past two days, and things have been extremely unsmooth, and he is in a bad mood. ”

The girl named Yang Yang immediately puffed out her mouth, as if she had been snubbed, and the girl on the other side heard Ma Yingjie's meaning, and hugged Yang Yang upset: "It seems that the secretary general doesn't like us to accompany him, or Brother He will send us back, lest the secretary general be unhappy and make fun of my sister." ”

He Zilong was anxious, hurriedly stood up and said: "Don't, don't, blame me, I didn't ask the secretary general's opinion in advance, but since everyone is sitting together, it's fate, once born and twice matured, the two sisters give me a face, if the secretary general criticizes me today, I will ask you another day." ”

The one named Yang Yang was also generous, and he immediately picked up the wine glass and said: "The first time I saw the Secretary-General, I hope that the Secretary-General will forgive me for being impolite, I have dried this glass, can the Secretary-General give me a smile?" Ma Yingjie didn't have a seizure either, so he could only reluctantly say: "Let's serve, there are other things when it's over." ”

The meal was not salty or light, and there was no atmosphere at all. He Zilong tried his best to round the field, wanting to make the atmosphere up, and the two girls also wanted to help him, and kept raising their glasses and changing lamps. There are also a lot of body movements in the middle, which is very professional and tempting, but Ma Yingjie just doesn't pick up the stubble, and finally makes the hot fire to be doused with cold water. He Zilong still didn't give up, and squeezed his eyebrows a few times, wanting to make the person named Yang Yang more enthusiastic, and it was best to get into Ma Yingjie's arms. Ma Yingjie saw his thoughts, called him out and said: "I don't care how other leaders come to receive you, in my place, you can't do this, hurry up and send them away, otherwise don't blame me for being polite." With this, it will be difficult for He Zilong to think about any more ideas. After eating hastily, the gong was sounded to collect the troops, and the two women saw that Ma Yingjie didn't give them face, and they didn't want to stay for a minute, clamoring to go back, He Zilong had to drive to send it. repeatedly told Xiao Jiang to accompany the secretary general first, and he would come back immediately.

He Zilong went out on the front foot, and Ma Yingjie let Xiao Jiang pay the bill. Xiao Jiang was afraid that Ma Yingjie would get angry, so he quickly buried the slip, and asked Ma Yingjie if he would go back to the hotel now? Ma Yingjie said that he would not go back to the hotel to sleep on the street? The two took a taxi back. Xiao Jiang didn't dare to leave, and Ma Yingjie didn't want him to leave, so he took out a bottle of wine and said, "I ruined the fun today, come, and now I will drink with you." Xiao Jiang was flattered, how dare he say nothing, he quickly ran downstairs to get two dishes, bought a lot of fruits, and drank them with Ma Yingjie.

A lot of words are said after drinking, people only meet people with similar temperaments and temperaments, in order to drink wine to the fullest, or how to say that wine is a thousand cups less than a confidant. Ma Yingjie's wine on this day, one is to drink to himself, and the other is to drink to Xiao Jiang. Xiao Jiang was in the city before, although he didn't have much contact with him, and he didn't help people much, but now through a few days of contact with Xiao Jiang, he feels that Xiao Jiang is still a young man with a little thought and ambition, and Ma Yingjie can see the shadow of his past from him. Working hard in officialdom, Ma Yingjie has gained a lot, but what he has lost is far from being compared with what he has gained. Especially the kind of things called ideals or ambitions are really getting farther and farther away from him. So he often involuntarily stops and looks backwards, wanting to see where his ideals or ambitions have been left, and even wonders stupidly, whether those beautiful things can be picked up again one day? When he realizes that once the precious things are lost, they can never be returned, the misery in his heart torments him to death. The only thing he could do was to pin this luxury on others, to summon a little comfort from them.

He's not drinking with Xiao Jiang, he's drinking with his past self. There is a taste in the wine called lost, no, depraved. Really, Ma Yingjie is now more and more aware that he is degenerate, and this depravity is sometimes called progress, and sometimes it is called maturity. But he felt like he had fallen into a river, swept away by the water, and he couldn't help himself. The original color is washed away little by little, and it is replaced by another color that seems glamorous but is actually decaying, which is called official color.

Xiao Jiang also had a good drink this night, no, happy. At first, Xiao Jiang was still a little restrained, and some were not suitable, after all, the girl he gave to Ma Yingjie yesterday, Ma Yingjie did not move. Therefore, Xiao Jiang got up from time to time and made some meaningless movements. For example, wiping the coffee table with a towel, adding a little water to Ma Yingjie's cup that was still full, and picking up a fruit and wanting to hand it to Ma Yingjie, seeing that Ma Yingjie was not interested in the fruit at all, he put it down uneasily. In short, they are all compliments or flatteries that subordinates often have in front of their superiors. It was Ma Yingjie who relaxed him and opened him up. Yes, open. Everyone in officialdom is wrapped, and it is not an exaggeration to call it imprisonment. More often than not, you feel like you're stuck in a shell, you can't stretch your arms easily, you have to follow its format, follow its program, shrink your body, contract your heart, not to mention ideals or whatever. You have to show a kind of trembling, a kind of fear, a kind of trembling triviality from time to time, so that people can look comfortable and look like you. But at this time, you are no longer yourself, who you are, you don't understand at all, and others don't understand either.

Let's put it this way, there can be no yourself in officialdom, all people are shadows, symbols, a piece of wood floating on the mighty water, a piece of wood without a soul......

Xiao Jiang is also used to this kind of day, if he is not used to it, he will not be able to get to today. Sensei is just a small section chief of the Beijing Office, an inconspicuous role. For this role, I don't know how fierce the competition was at the beginning, but he defeated nearly twenty opponents to get this vacancy. But habit is not the same as recognition, it is not the same as affirmation. Habits are mostly forced, and if you don't get used to them, you will be eliminated, and elimination is always unacceptable. Identification is positive, with more subjectivity in it. Affirmation is more and more positive, and it is your subjective will that is completely in it.

The two drank and drank, and drank the flavor together, and the more they drank, the more flavorful it became. Ma Yingjie said: "Xiao Jiang, don't use me as the secretary general, we are friends and buddies tonight, don't Beijing call you buddies everywhere, let's call them again tonight." ”
