In the sky, the setting sun slowly slid down, casting the only afterglow onto the earth.

In the afterglow, a long black shadow dragged on the silent square, and at the end of the shadow was a tall man.

The man had been standing for a long time, facing south, looking out at the place where he had devoted his two years. Although he couldn't see it, he knew that it must be that direction, and Cheng Kang was just south of the capital.

This man who had been standing for a long time was none other than Chu Tianqi, who had been away from Chengkang for nearly half a year. Counting from August 31 last year, it is 159 days to today, and today is the fifth day of February of the new year, the eighth day of the first lunar month.

Compared with more than five months ago, Chu Tianqi's complexion was a little darker, and his skin was much rougher, which was mainly due to being often outdoors and often exposed to the wind and sun. Although the sun in winter is not too poisonous, and the wind and sand in the capital are not too big, you can't stand being outside all day, not to mention choosing those environments that are very devastating to people.

Although Chu Tianqi is now in the square of the Central Party School, the wind and sun he has suffered are not the meals of the party school students, but the partial meals specially provided for him, which are eaten outside the Central Party School.

On September 1 last year, Chu Tianqi reported for duty in the morning and attended the opening ceremony in the afternoon as required. From the second day, I lived a formal training and study life. But this kind of life only lasted for half a month, and he was picked up and taken to a secret place for special training, and the intensity and systematization of training were improved a lot. The secret was familiar, similar to the place it had been three years ago, but it wasn't the same place. In this place, after nearly five months of sealed special training, Chu Tianqi returned to the Central Party School, and he was just sent back this morning. The original class name changed, those students also left, and Chu Tianqi was placed in the later class, and the alumni who were supposed to be younger students became classmates.

This new class is a class that opened before New Year's Day, and there is a seven-day holiday during the Spring Festival, and today is the first day of school after the Spring Festival. In order to reduce the reasons for students to take leave in the future, the party school deliberately only held a half-day class today, allowing students to use their afternoon time to purchase daily necessities or handle personal affairs. Chu Tianqi had been allowed to rest for half a day yesterday, and the trivial things that should be done had already been done, so today he slept for a long time, and after waking up at four o'clock in the afternoon, he went to the playground.

The reason why he looked at the direction of Chengkang was not that Chu Tianqi missed it so much, but that he was thinking about where he would go after graduation. Since studying here, no one has told him about the arrangements after graduation, but Chu Tianqi feels that Chengkang should not be a place for him to go, and there is no position there that meets his wishes. According to the convention, as soon as this training is over, there should be a higher or better position waiting for him, and he also hopes that he will be able to meet this convention, be able to become a regular rank, and be able to be honored to be in a real position.

Because of the expectations in his heart, Chu Tianqi hoped that the training would end sooner and that he would realize his wish as soon as possible. It's not that he's an official fan, but that he plans to go to Li Weimin and ask the other party to fulfill his promise after realizing this wish. If Li Weimin wants to play tricks, then he will have to question the other party and ask the other party to give an explanation. Of course, Li Weimin still has a way to cheat, that is, not to let himself be promoted, which is also what Chu Tianqi is most worried about.

"Ding Woo", the mobile phone rang, interrupting Chu Tianqi's thoughts.

Glancing at the caller ID, Chu Tianqi pressed the answer button: "Mayor Wang, Happy New Year!"

The voice on the mobile phone did not follow Chu Tianqi's words, but blamed: "Are you the mayor of Tianqi? What's the matter, the phone has not been able to get through? Is it to serve in the Politburo, or to the moon on a business trip? I called you several times a year ago, and I called you again during the Spring Festival, but in addition to 'temporarily unreachable', it is 'not in the service area'." I'm weird that I've got through now. ”

Chu Tianqi smiled "hehe": "I didn't go to the Politburo, nor did I go to the moon, maybe you just caught up with me and couldn't get through the phone." In this training, many classrooms are equipped with signal shielding systems, as long as they enter the shielding range, there will be no signal and no communication. The head teacher said that this is to let everyone study with peace of mind, and it is also to strengthen people's sense of discipline. ”

There was an "oh" sound in the mobile phone, and after a pause, a voice came: "That's the case, I don't seem to have heard it before...... Why can't you get through at night?"

"I have a lot of classes in the evenings. Sometimes, a lot of people are ready to go to bed and have to rush to the classroom. Sometimes it's early in the morning, more than an hour earlier than the normal wake-up time, the bed bell rings, and the lunch break is also done like this, anyway, there are many such training programs. Chu Tian took a breath and ordered all the time slots.

"Sounds interesting. The other party no longer continued to ask, but changed the topic, "Tianqi, you are about to graduate, have you decided where to go?" Do you want to be the leader of the party committee, or do you go to the party and government of the municipal bureau to grasp it together?"

Chu Tianqi said: "What kind of leader, should the party and government grasp together? My current position is still that of a member of the Standing Committee of the Chengkang Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor. ”

"Is it still a secret?" the other party obviously didn't believe it, "I heard that Xue Tao is leaving, my number one here is about to retire, and several bureau chief positions in Dingye City are also vacant, this is an opportunity." ”

"Is it?" Chu Tianqi really heard of these contents for the first time, "What you said can't be my turn, I have self-knowledge, people can't be too greedy." By the way, if your number one wants to retire, don't you just take the opportunity to take the position? I think eighty percent of you let you go at that time, that's how it was designed. ”

A sigh came from the phone: "Hey, why haven't you ever had this kind of fantasy? But as you said, people can't be too greedy." What am I? I'm a person who has been degraded twice. Now I can still be the head of the government, I am very satisfied, that's it, there are still people talking about this. Now I only have my tail between my legs, how dare I be delusional? I just hope to send a good and cooperative secretary, such as a generous person like you, I don't want to fight in the nest all day long, or take advantage of a few years to do more practical things. ”

Chu Tianqi smiled: "Mayor Wang, this tone is not like you, the last time you called, you were high-spirited." ”

"Don't call me 'mayor', you can still call me 'Lao Wang' or 'County Magistrate Wang'. Speaking of this, the conversation on the mobile phone changed, "Hehe, you said that the last time you called, it was a matter of life, and it has nothing to do with work." I'm calling you today to tell you about that. Now, according to your prescription, I have been taking it for nearly four months, and I stopped for a while, mainly because it is a little hot, I don't know if I need to continue to take it?"

Chu Tianqi let out an "oh" and smiled with a smile on his face: "You talk about the specific effect, I'll analyze it carefully." ”

The phone snorted: "Effective...... What can I say about the effect? When I first took the first treatment, the effect was not very obvious, but from the second treatment, my back was not sore, I walked hard, and I got up less at night. After the third course of treatment, I felt like I was 20 or 30 years younger, and now I have more energy than I can't do. My face is basically not yellow now, I am much more normal, and my lips are no longer white, and they are quite red*. On the contrary, I can come three or four times a week anyway, and I still think about it every day. ”

"Yes, how do you feel, are you satisfied?" Chu Tianqi asked.

"Satisfied, so satisfied. Compared to now, I feel that all these years have been in vain, and she says that I am like a twenty-year-old boy. "The voice on the phone sounded very excited.

Chu Tianqi smiled and said: "You can't eat anymore, like your age, twice a week is a lot, you still think every day, how can you do it? Be careful that the effect is too good, go out and make a mistake again, if you make a flower in the county one day, I will not be responsible." ”

"I'm ...... Worried about side effects, it's like the medicine sold in the drugstore. The voice on the phone was a little worried.

Chu Tianqi said: "It's not written like that in the book, it's just a medicine that is poisonous, so let's stop in moderation." ”

"Mayor Tianqi, thank you, it was you who allowed me to recover my second spring, regain my self-confidence, and be able to be a man again. For so many years, I was ...... by that woman If only I could have met you earlier, why should I wear a green ...... all day long" The other party's tone was very sincere, "not to mention the mourning star." Now the Mavericks are happy with me, we're getting along well, thank you. ”

"You're welcome. Chu Tianqi teased, "It's my honor to be able to solve problems for Mayor Wang." ”

"Hehe" laughed twice on the mobile phone, and then a voice came: "Tianqi, you don't remember the old evils, you have helped me a lot, I can't repay you how to repay you." In fact, if I think about it carefully, I can't help you much, so I can only provide you with some job information. Whether you are operating now or not, you must seize the opportunity, and you must not miss the opportunity. With who you are, it's a good time. ”

"Thank you, Mayor Wang, I'll come down and think about it. Chu Tianqi replied.

"Knowing you're short on time, I won't bother. I still tell you that sentence, you must hurry up. After saying this, there was no sound on the phone.

Putting away his phone, Chu Tianqi shook his head with a smile, amused by what the other party said just now, "restore the second spring". But then he didn't feel funny, but took pity on the other party's former titles of "Old Wangba" and "Green Hat King", and was also glad that he had done a good deed.

The person who called just now was Chu Tianqi's former colleague and superior, and Wang Yongxin, the former deputy secretary of the Chengkang Municipal Party Committee and mayor. Wang Yongxin and Chu Tianqi spoke so frankly, from a suspected opponent to such a relationship, Chu Tianqi and the other party also had a lot of casual feelings, mainly because of a pair of medicines, drugs that solve unspeakable addictions.
