Minister Zhou's words are not false. Although, the phrase of serving the people wholeheartedly is engraved in the lobby of every government building, and it can be seen in all walks of life. But, can those who have a little power in their hands really be able to touch their conscience and say that they are wholeheartedly?

Liang Jian felt that there must be. He still wants to believe that there is still some beauty in this world. It's just that there are probably very few such people.

Power and money, these two things, have always been at the center of the struggle of human ideas from human history to the present. There are very few people who can stick to their hearts. Some people will get lost in it. The rest are the ones who have grasped the balance between power and money and conscience, and they are walking in it tremblingly like crossing a single-plank bridge. However, despite such caution, there are still countless people who rush to walk on this single-plank bridge, and even do not hesitate. It can be seen how attractive the word power and money is.

At this moment, the few people present, except for Yao Song and Liang Jian, who are of a worse level, the rest of them are already close to the core of power, and they have realized that what they have experienced is different from what Liang Jian and they have experienced.

After Zhang Qiang listened to Minister Zhou's words, he looked at him for a while, then glanced at Secretary Zhao of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and then fell on Minister Zhou, and said: "Speaking of which, I have had some unhappiness with Lao Zhou before. ”

When Minister Zhou heard this, he smiled embarrassedly and said, "That's because I didn't understand the hard work of the secretary before." You don't remember it, do you?"

Zhang Qiang smiled: "How can you not remember." If it weren't for those things, there would be no support from you. Are you right?"

Minister Zhou smiled. Zhang Qiang followed and said: "Actually, this time when I leave Jiangzhong, you are the most worried. Minister Zhou's smile was put away and he didn't speak. Zhang Qiang smiled and continued, "Don't be angry. We've been working together for so many years, and I still know who you are. Everything else is good, but it's not good at all, it's too tactful. ”

At this point, the muscles on Minister Zhou's face tensed a little. But Zhang Qiang was still smiling, and seemed to have completely failed to notice Minister Zhou's unpleasantness. He continued: "Sometimes it is indeed not a bad thing, but Cao Cao once said: I would rather bear the world than let the world bear me. You are left and right, and not everyone can get used to it. In particular, when the time comes for a new official to take office, once you let some of them mistakenly think that you have deep and wide influence in Jiangzhong, they will inevitably become jealous of you in their hearts. If you think about it, if any of them are jealous of you, then I am afraid that your life will not last long. ”

Minister Zhou lowered his head, half a sound, and then said in a low voice: "Secretary, you have learned a lesson, and I will pay attention to it in the future." Zhang Qiang sighed: "I know that most of you are not convinced. But I'm about to leave, and I'm just saying this for the sake of my past feelings, and aside from my work relationship, I still treat you as a friend. ”

"I understand. Secretary, you are for my good, I understand. Minister Zhou replied.

Zhang Qiang smiled and said, "It's good to understand." After speaking, he looked at Secretary Zhao of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, but did not speak immediately. Secretary Zhao lowered his head slightly, and said in an urn voice: "Secretary, don't say it, I know my own problem." ”

Zhang Qiang said: "If you know, you have to change." If you can't change it, you will find a way to restrain it. Don't regret it again. Secretary Zhao nodded and said, "I remember." ”

Zhang Qiang nodded and looked at Gao Chenghan again, but his gaze only stayed for a while, and then quickly passed by, and finally landed on Liang Jianjian. He smiled a little and said, "You, I'm not worried. Even if a new official comes, you are in Yongzhou, after all, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and it will not have much impact. Moreover, although I am no longer in Jiangzhong, Xiao Zhao and Lao Zhou are here, and they will take care of you more or less. Right, Old Zhou?" Zhang Qiang's gaze swept to Minister Zhou and looked at him with a slight smile. Minister Zhou hurriedly replied with a smile: "This is natural." Liang Jian is a young talent with a bright future, although a few of us seem to be a little more advanced than him, but this road is actually almost complete. In the future, I'm afraid we will have to stammer him. ”

Zhang Qiang glared at him and said, "I just told you about you, and it's only been a few minutes, and this problem has started again." Minister Zhou sneered and said, "Get used to it!"

At this time, Secretary Zhao next to him spoke: "Secretary, you can rest assured." In the past two years, Liang Jian can be regarded as we have come step by step. No matter what, if we can help, we will help. ”

Zhang Qiang listened and said to Minister Zhou: "You, there are some places where you should really learn from Xiao Zhao." Minister Zhou nodded hurriedly. Liang Jian next to him thanked him in a timely manner: "Thank you Secretary Zhao and Minister Zhou." ”

At this time, Gao Chenghan interjected: "Since Director Xia is also leaving, I think maybe I should take advantage of the fact that I am still in my seat to move Yao Song's position." After all, he is also his own person, and he has come up, which is still good for us. ”

As soon as Gao Chenghan's voice fell, everyone's eyes fell on Yao Song. Yao Song was a little uncomfortable. Xia Churong said: "I also think it's okay. Xiaoyao's work ability is still very good. At that time, in Hua Jianjun's affairs, he made a lot of efforts. ”

Minister Zhou nodded and said, "Since Chu Rong also thinks it's okay, then move." ”

Zhang Qiang finally fell: "Then it's decided, how to move specifically, go back and discuss with a few of you, while Chu Rong is still in the seat, settle down as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

Several people nodded. Liang Jian looked at Yao Song, who still looked a little unconscious, and hurriedly reminded: "Yao Song, why don't you hurry up and thank the secretary?"

Yao Song came back to his senses and hurriedly thanked him.

Except for Gao Chenghan, it seems that everyone has explained. Liang Jian thought, this conversation should be near the end. I don't know, what happened to Xiang Jin and Hu Xiaoying inside?

He couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart. At this time, someone suddenly said: "Why didn't Lao Wang come today?" Wang Yu is the head of the Propaganda Department, and he has been in the position for several years. Hu Xiaoying is the vice minister. Hu Xiaoying came, but Wang Yu didn't. It's a little weird indeed. Liang Jian looked at Zhang Qiang, although Wang Yu and Zhang Qiang's concern was not very close, but he would not be called Hu Xiaoying but not Wang Yu. This is obviously a face-saving look for Wang Yu. Liang Jian felt that even if Zhang Qiang was about to leave, he would not do such a thing that was inconsiderate.

Sure enough, Zhang Qiang replied: "Something happened to his hometown, so he took leave to go back on Friday." It is estimated that it will take two or three days to return to Ningzhou. ”

Minister Zhou obviously still knew something about Wang Yu's private affairs, and when he heard Zhang Qiang's words, he said, "Is something wrong with his old mother?"

Zhang Qiang nodded and sighed: "People, if you become like this when you get old, it will be a pain." Wang Yu is probably also heartbroken. Secretary Zhao sighed and said, "Why didn't he put her in a nursing home." Aren't there a few sanatoriums on the outskirts of Ningzhou that are in good condition?"

When it comes to the nursing home, Liang Jian suddenly thinks of someone. This man hadn't thought about it for a long time. I don't know what's going on now.

Liang Jian was in a trance, when suddenly Ge Hui walked out of the house, walked to them, and said with a smile: "How are you talking? It's cold at night now, why don't you go to the house?"

When Zhang Qiang heard this, he stood up and said, "Then go to the house." ”

And they all stood up and followed. When I arrived at the door, I saw Xiang Jin coming out of the house and meeting Liang Jian and his party. Liang Jian pulled Xiang Jin over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiang Jin smiled and said, "It's okay." It was a little chilly, so I went to the car to get a coat. ”

Liang Jian said, "Then I'll accompany you." ”

Xiang Jin stopped: "No, you accompany Secretary Zhang and them, the car is on the side, it's okay." ”

Liang Jian didn't insist either. After following Zhang Qiang and them into the house, Liang Jian saw Hu Xiaoying talking to Ge Hui, who had just entered the house. The two said a few words, and Hu Xiaoying walked over. Zhang Qiang looked at Hu Xiaoying and said with a smile: "I've worked hard for you today, I invited you to dinner, and asked you, a guest, to help clean up." ”

Hu Xiaoying replied with a smile: "What does it matter, I get along with Sister Hui, just talking." ”

"Then in the future, you will accompany her more often when you are free, so that I can rest assured. Zhang Qiang said. When Liang Jian heard this, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Won't my sister-in-law follow?"

Ge Hui interjected: "I haven't retired yet, and there are a lot of things going on in Jiangzhong University, so I'm afraid I can't go with them." However, in the past few years, it has passed by persevering. After speaking, Ge Hui said again: "You go to the study to talk, Sister Hu has already brewed all 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 did not follow. turned his head to look and saw Hu Xiaoying go out, while Ge Hui turned around and went upstairs.

Xiang Jin was also outside, and Hu Xiaoying also went out. Liang Jian's heart suddenly burst out. He stopped, stood in the doorway and thought for a while, then said to the opposite, "I'll go to the bathroom first." ”

Zhang Qiang glanced at him, and the gaze in his eyes made Liang Jian feel like he was being seen through.

Liang Jian came out with a hard head, hesitated in the lobby for a few seconds, and walked out the door. When I got to the door, I didn't see anyone in the garden. Liang Jian walked a few more steps outside, and when he was about to reach the door, he found that outside the courtyard gate, Xiang Jin and Hu Xiaoying were standing there.

Liang Jian was about to push the door out. Suddenly, someone grabbed him. When I looked back, it was Ge Hui. Didn't she go upstairs? Liang Jian was surprised in his heart, but he saw Ge Hui smile and said, "It's okay to let the two of them talk, there are some knots, and they always have to be untied." Since you can't let go of anyone now, why go out. ”

Liang Jian was stunned there, half loud, and followed Ge Hui into the house.

"Can't you figure it out, why do I know about you?" In the room, Ge Hui looked at Liang Jian and asked with a smile. Liang Jian nodded curtly. Ge Hui smiled and said, "Some of them were told to me by Zhang Qiang, and some of them were seen by myself." In fact, it is estimated that these people here today can see a little bit of it. ”

Liang Jian subconsciously asked, "Is it so obvious?"

Ge Hui glanced at him, smiled and didn't speak, but the answer was already obvious.
