When he went to Hongxu's office, Liang Jian realized that he had been in Changhu District for so long and had never shaken hands with Zhou Qitong, the head of the district, and this time it was actually the first time that Zhou Qitong shook hands.

reported to Mayor Hong that Zhou Qitong, the head of Changhu District, had visited, and Hong Xu only raised his head slightly and looked at the opposite wall. Liang Jian saw from Mayor Hong's actions that Mayor Hong should not have expected Zhou Qitong to come.

Hongxu groaned slightly, and then said, "Let him in." Before you bring him in, tell him that I only have ten minutes, and I have one party in the evening. ”

Liang Jian turned around and went out to ask Zhou Qitong, and told Mayor Hong what he meant. Zhou Qitong nodded and said, "Ten minutes is enough, enough." "When I walk, I also take small steps. It was the first time Liang Jian had seen Zhou Qitong so humble.

In the past, in Changhu District, Liang Jian saw Zhou Qitong walking, always with a bold posture, it seems that the leaders are holding their heads high on their own territory, and they will look down at the road in front of their superiors.

Liang Jian took Zhou Qitong to Mayor Hong's office and poured Zhou Qitong another glass of water. However, he didn't fill the water glass, only half a cup, which also meant to remind him that Hongshi was limited for a long time.

Liang Jian returned to the office, looked at the time, and then began to pack his things, and when he finished talking, he was going to accompany Mayor Hong to socialize. It was really no more than ten minutes, and Zhou Qitong came out of Mayor Hong's office.

Mayor Hong did not send Zhou Qitong out. When Zhou Qitong was leaving, he went to Liang Jian's office again and said, "Secretary Liang, I have already negotiated." If you have time, you must go back to Changhu District more often, many cadres in Changhu District are still thinking about you!"

Liang Jian smiled and said, "Thank you, District Chief Zhou." Zhou Qitong saw that Liang Jian did not go out of the door and shook hands with him, so he took the initiative to come in and shake hands with Liang Jian to say goodbye. Liang Jian had no choice but to take two steps and shake hands with Zhou Qitong, his heart was very strange, how did Zhou Qitong become so polite? Could it be that he was going to adjust his direction and devote himself to Mayor Hong's camp?

In the car, Mayor Hong leaned his head on the back of the car chair and asked Liang Jian casually: "Zhou Qitong, the district chief who came today, is your old leader!" Mayor Hong asked a little knowingly, but the seemingly superfluous words asked by the leader may be useful, Liang Jian said: "Yes, District Mayor Zhou is my old leader in Changhu District." ”

Mayor Hong asked again: "Look, how is District Mayor Zhou?" Liang Jian glanced in the rearview mirror, thinking to himself, Mayor Hong should know that he is not from the same camp as Zhou Qi, why do you still ask him about Zhou Qitong's person?

Liang Jian said: "Mayor Hong, when I was in Changhu District, I was in the organization department, and I usually didn't deal much with District Mayor Zhou. If there were any personnel changes, they were all reported by Comrade Zhu Yongliang, then head of the Organization Department. So, I don't know much about Mayor Zhou!"

Hongxu tapped the middle finger of his right hand lightly on the leather sofa and said, "Oh, I see!" After a few minutes, he said: "District Chief Zhou came to my office, don't tell Secretary Hu first, lest she have ideas." Liang Jian replied quickly and almost with some surprise: "Okay, Mayor Hong, I know." ”

Liang Jian sent Hongxu into the banquet hall and went to the box on the side to eat. Entering the box where the secretaries were eating, Liang Jian met Ren Jian, the secretary of the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.

Some other secretaries said, "The mayor's secretary is here." Liang Jian glanced around, and Jin Chao, the secretary of the municipal party secretary, was not there. Therefore, the leader that Liang Jian followed was the highest position among these people, and naturally everyone respected him more. Secretaries are respected and are directly linked to the position of the leader.

Ren Jian beckoned Liang Jian to sit beside him and asked, "Why is it so late?" Liang Jian looked at the time: "It's not too late, isn't it? Isn't it ten minutes late?" Ren Jian said: "The other leaders have already arrived." ”

When someone in the secretary heard their chat, he got involved: "The top leader should be the last to arrive, just like our table, Liang Jian is the last to arrive." That person usually likes to joke, but Liang Jian didn't care, so he said: "It's the leader who has something, don't get involved with me." "Saying that, just scoop the soup and eat, today's banquet is not a heavy banquet, and it should end early.

Ren Jian leaned into Liang Jian's ear and said: "It looks like it will end early tonight, do you have time to have tea together in the evening?" Liang Jian said: "I don't know yet, I'll listen to the boss later." ”

For a while, it was popular among secretaries to call their leaders bosses, and Liang Jian usually didn't call them, but when he came to the secretary's circle, he also called them together in order to appear more integrated. Ren Jian said: "Okay, if your boss doesn't ask you to do anything else at night, we'll go for tea." ”

Liang Jian said: "Okay, I'll contact you in the evening." ”

After dinner, Mayor Hong said to go back to the hotel. After Liang Jian saw Mayor Hong, he called Ren Jian and said, "Where are you going to drink tea?" Ren Jian said, "I'll take you to a place, it's very good." Because of his special status now, Liang Jian was worried that he would be involved in the matter of others asking him to do things, so he asked, "Who else?"

Ren Jian seemed to hear what he meant, so he said: "Just a few friends, let me introduce you to a great calligrapher in Jingzhou, who is very famous, a painting of more than 4 feet 3, the lowest price is 200,000 yuan." Liang Jian didn't know much about painting, so he asked, "Why do you say more than 4 feet 3?" Liang Jian said: "This is a professional question, and I will sue you when you arrive." ”

Liang Jian is a curious person, and having such a question is enough to be a reason for him to go to the tea party. Besides, the painters who are here today should not have any interests involved.

In the tea room, there were only four people, and after Liang Jian sat down, there were only five people. Liang Jian has never been to this tea room before, named Qin Hui, the decoration inside is unique, very Mongolian and Tibetan style, with a little exotic, but the tea is very positive, especially the white tea and black tea taste beautiful.

Before, Liang Jian didn't know that there was such a flavorful teahouse hidden in the urban area of Jingzhou! Liang Jian couldn't help but re-evaluate the cultural taste of Jingzhou City!

After sitting down, Ren Jian introduced friends to Liang Jian. Of course, the first person to be introduced is a great painter named Gu Feng, who has a beard, a broad face, and a bright eye, but he is already in his fifties. The second is named Shi Longhua, the director of the Office of the United Front Work Department, and Liang Jian guessed that this ancient style may be a person without party affiliation, and he is also the target of Shi Longhua's united front. The third is Wei Yunxiang, who is said to be a doctor of Jingzhou College and has just been rated as an associate professor. Liang Jian and his three friends all nodded.

When Ren Jian introduced Liang Jian, especially when he was the full-time secretary of Mayor Hongxu, everyone cast different eyes on him and had more respect in their eyes. Although Gu Feng still looked at Liang Jian calmly, his words also revealed his good impression of Liang Jian: "Mayor Hong is a capable and good leader, we have eaten twice, and with Mayor Hong, the future is immeasurable." Say hello to Mayor Hiroshi for me. ”

Liang Jian originally thought that artists regarded power as dung, but he didn't think about this ancient master, but he was very transparent, and he did not reject people in the officialdom, and of course he did not show an attitude of tending to be inflammatory. Liang Jian said: "Thank you, I will convey your greetings." ”

Several people here, except for Liang Jian, everyone else seems to be familiar with each other. Liang Jian listened to their conversation first, and there was no obvious theme, just nonsense. Liang Jianwei joined them in the conversation and took the initiative to ask them how they found this specialty teahouse. Everyone's eyes were on Master Gu Feng, and he smiled meaningfully and said, "This is going to ask Master Gu Feng." ”

Gu Feng smiled a little weirdly at everyone, and ignored it, but said quite calmly: "The proprietress of this shop, Qin Hui, is my friend. Secretary Liang, do you like the style of this teahouse?" Liang Jian said: "Small but rhyme, quiet and flavorful. ”

Liang Jian also said it casually, he was very interested in the overall style of this teahouse and the various interesting tea sets displayed on the first floor, and when asked, he casually said these two sentences.

Everyone echoed the "well said". Gu Feng didn't speak, but looked at Liang Jian: "I didn't expect Secretary Liang to be a great literati!" Liang Jian said: "Where, where." Gu Feng said: "The two sentences you just said make people feel that they are simply blurted out of everyone's demeanor." Liang Jian said: "I laughed." ”

Gu Feng said: "I must let Qin Hui come to meet you." So saying, he stood up and walked out. Ren Jian said: "Liang Jian, what you said today is in Lao Gu's heart, and he has always said that this teahouse is good." Wei Yunxiang on the side said: "That's because Lao Gu thinks the proprietress here is good." Everyone laughed.

Liang Jian faintly felt that the master of the ancient style should have some liking for the proprietress Qin Hui here. Liang Jian was curious about what kind of character this boss lady would be. After a while, Gu Feng came back in a huff, he sat down and said, "I'm sorry, Qin Hui has something to do." Secretary Liang, you must come again next time. ”

Liang Jian smiled: "I will definitely come again." Gu Feng said to the three people on the side: "Look at it, Secretary Liang still knows what charm is, you don't understand." Liang Jian said: "Master Gu, don't call me Secretary Liang, just call me Liang Jian." Gu Feng said, "Okay." You also call me Gu Feng. ”

After chatting for a while, Shi Longhua, director of the Office of the United Front Work Department, said: "Master Gu, what about your recent paintings? The ancient style has a bit of an old naughty temperament, and he said to Shi Longhua: "I sue you, this painting can be seen by looking, but you must not grab it." Shi Longhua said: "Okay, I know, I won't rob." Gu Feng said to the others, "You all promise." Of course, Liang Jian, you don't have to guarantee it. ”

Shi Longhua said: "Liang Jian, Lao Gu means that you can snatch it." You snatched his painting and handed it over to me!" Liang Jian smiled and said, "Don't grab it, don't grab it." I really like it, so I bought it from the ancient style. Gu Feng reprimanded Shi Longhua: "I knew that Longhua had evil thoughts. ”

Shi Longhua said: "Liang Jian, you can grab it, you can't buy it, it's strange if you don't go bankrupt." The average price of old paintings on the market now exceeds 300,000. Liang Jian had heard about it earlier, so he really wanted to see Lao Gu's paintings: "Let's not talk about it, I really want to see the paintings of the ancient masters." ”

As soon as Gu Feng took his paintings, he felt as meticulous and cautious as caring for a baby, and he removed all the tea sets on the small long table, wiped off the water stains, and then slowly spread out his painting scroll. Liang Jian also slowly saw this landscape painting.

Liang Jian looked at it little by little, and was infected by the breath of the mountains and rivers that came straight to his eyes. How does Liang Jian feel so familiar with the artistic conception in the painting? When the painting unfolded a little bit, Liang Jian said two sentences: "The mountains come out in groups from the sky, and the water flows from the Taihu Lake".

After reading the painting, Liang Jian asked: "Gu Feng, is this artistic conception?" Gu Feng looked at Liang Jian without blinking, and said, "I met a confidant today!" He grabbed Ren Jian's hand violently, held it tightly, and shook it.

Everyone didn't know what was going on, I don't know why he pulled Ren Jian to shake hands?Ren Jian said in surprise: "Master Gu Feng, what do you mean...... Am I your confidant?" Gu Feng said: "No, you are definitely not my confidant, you have brought me a confidant." ”

Everyone looked at Liang Jian and smiled. Liang Jian said: "It is also my honor to be regarded as a confidant by Brother Gu Feng. Gu Feng said: "Without further ado, from today on, Liang Jian is my brother, I am also Liang Jian's brother, Ren Jian, Shi Longhua, Wei Yunxiang You are witnesses!" Ren Jian and they all said: "Anyway, everyone is a brother!"

Ren Jian said: "Since Liang Jian is your brother, this painting of yours should be given to him, right?" Liang Jian hurriedly waved his hand, he knew that in the art world, it was very easy to call him a brother, but if it really involves the issue of interests, it is not the case. He didn't dare to ask for the expensive paintings of the ancient style: "That doesn't work, that doesn't work." I can't take away the love of Brother Gu Feng. ”

Gu Feng looked serious: "No, no." Brother Liang Jian, I could have given you this painting right away. But I want to participate in the Jingzhou Ink Painting Exhibition on November 21, and I will give it to you as soon as the exhibition is over!" Liang Jian said: "Thank you, thank you." But I can't accept such a valuable gift. ”

Gu Feng said: "Brother, don't be polite. To others, it may be worth hundreds of thousands, but to me, it is just the product of my hands. Don't think of it as much money, just as it's a handiwork of mine. That's it. ”

Liang Jian thanked him first. He thought, on a whim today, he said that he wanted to send his paintings, and he might regret it in a few days. After all, it's a matter of hundreds of thousands. So don't take it seriously.

That night, we had a good conversation. It was nearly twelve o'clock when he dispersed, and in the past few years, Liang Jian had never chatted with anyone to drink tea or talk so happily. Walking out of the teahouse, Ren Jian and Liang Jian took a taxi together. Ren Jian said: "Brother, this time you earned it." Liang Jian was puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

Ren Jian said: "I estimate that the painting of Gu Feng should be worth 400,000 yuan. Liang Jian said: "His paintings are really worth so much, or are they priceless?" Ren Jian said: "At present, his paintings are not ranked first or second in the Chinese landscape painting world, and it is not a problem to rank third or fourth, and the value of his paintings is increasing year by year." But he is a very loose person, and he is also a man of temperament. He used to be at the China Academy of Fine Arts, but then he didn't want to, so he returned to Jingzhou, and he also refused various titles, and some domestic art exhibitions invited him to participate, but he didn't necessarily go. I look at my own pleasure when I act. The first time I saw him, the first time I saw someone, I called him a brother. You're the first!"

Liang Jian said happily: "It seems that I should really be flattered." Ren Jian said: "There is no need to be flattered, after all, you are also the mayor's secretary, and the future political rookie, it is also good for Gu Feng to get to know you." Liang Jian said: "But I think that when he said that he wanted to give me a painting, he should just talk about it, right?" Ren Jian said: "I think that Gu Feng will really send it, he is not the kind of person who talks about it by the way." ”

Liang Jian said with some embarrassment: "If he really wants to give it to me, I don't dare to accept it, after all, this is a matter of hundreds of thousands." Ren Jian said: "That's because you see him as money, if you don't see it as money, you see it as a friend's artwork, and it will be fine to accept it." ”

Liang Jian smiled secretly: "People haven't sent you yet, you're worried first!" Liang Jian chatted about Ren Jian's girlfriend again, Ren Jian said, "No shadow, you can help me introduce me if you are free." Liang Jian said: "No problem, I have a good girl at hand, I will introduce it to you!" "You must not pick up the leftovers." Liang Jian smiled: "Do you think I am like this?"

Back at home, Liang Jian remembered Zhou Qitong's visit to Mayor Hong. He really wanted to tell Hu Xiaoying about the situation, so he turned on his mobile phone and dialed Hu Xiaoying's number.

Listening to Hu Xiaoying's mobile phone ringtone, Liang Jian recalled Mayor Hong's voice in his mind:

- "District Chief Zhou has come to my office, don't tell Secretary Hu first, lest she have some ideas." ”

――And his own answer: "Okay, Mayor Hong, I see." ”

Now that he has promised Mayor Hong, he should not sue Hu Xiaoying again. But Liang Jian really felt a little strange. What is Zhou Qitong doing here? If Secretary Hu knows, it's better than not knowing!

After hesitating, the mobile phone was connected, and Hu Xiaoying's soft voice came: "Hey, hello, Liang Jian." Liang Jian said a little crampedly: "Secretary Hu." Hu Xiaoying's voice sounded relaxed: "What's the matter, call me today?

In the end, the three words "miss me" are said very casually and are a bit joking. Over the past few years, everyone has been accustomed to talking to people they haven't been in touch with for a few days, and everyone is okay with it. But when Hu Xiaoying said this to Liang Jian, Liang Jian really had some scruples about the true meaning of these words.

If it was between two normal friends, they would definitely answer: "Yes!" But at this time, Liang Jian couldn't answer. But you can't answer, "No." Liang Jian had no choice but to change the topic: "It is said that the ginkgo biloba leaves in Beijing have fallen beautifully recently!"

This is also what Liang Jian saw during the day, someone on the Internet was uploading photos of Beijing ginkgo biloba leaves, which was very beautiful, and he would directly use it as a talking point. Hu Xiaoying said: "It is very beautiful, and the Central Party School is also very autumnal." Why, you want to come and see me?" Liang Jian said: "If you want to come and see, it's useless. Didn't you say you were teaching in a closed space?"

Hu Xiaoying said: "You can move freely on weekends. Liang Jian said: "I'm afraid I just can't get out." Hu Xiaoying said: "Time is like ......" She stopped abruptly halfway through speaking, and she must have remembered what Liang Jian said to her at the airport, "Time is like cleavage, squeezing will always be there." "Quite vulgar, she disdained to say it.

Hu Xiaoying said: "Can you tell me about any new news about Jingzhou? I am now in Beijing, and I am blind to the situation in Jingzhou. Liang Jian said: "Zhou ......"

He said the word "Zhou" and stopped. He remembered that he had promised Mayor Hong not to say it. Hu Xiaoying asked: "What's the week?" Liang Jian disguised: "Have a good rest on the weekend!" Hu Xiaoying smiled: "Weekend? It's only Tuesday today, and there are still many days before the weekend!"

Liang Jian smiled and said, "I'll remind you in advance!"

After Hu Xiaoying hung up the phone, he thought to himself that Liang Jian must have something else to tell him, but it was inconvenient for him to say.

The next day, he studied at the Central Party School with colorful leaves, but Hu Xiaoying remembered the southern Jingzhou City where the summer heat disappeared. She kept reminiscing about Liang Jian's "Zhou" word yesterday. Could it be that Zhou Qitong did something? The words were not clear, and he was puzzled.

There are also classes in the evenings. After it was over, it was past nine o'clock in the evening when I returned to the dormitory. The phone that is in a blocked state is turned on at this time, and some text messages come in. Hu Xiaoying was looking through when a call came in. As soon as I saw that it was Mayor Hong's phone, I quickly answered it.

Hu Xiaoying said: "Mayor Hong, hello. ”

Hongxu's voice was as slow and powerful as ever: "Xiaoying, how are you doing in Beijing?" Hu Xiaoying said: "Thank you Mayor Hong for your concern, it's good in Beijing." There is a strong learning atmosphere here. ”

Hongxu asked about some things like daily life. Hu Xiaoying answered them one by one. Hongxu said: "The learning opportunity of the Central Party School is rare, and we must seize the ......." Hu Xiaoying kept saying "um" that he had memorized Mayor Hong's instructions.

But she still has some doubts in her heart, Mayor Hong will definitely not only care about her own studies when she calls this time, but also has more important things to talk about with her. But the conversation lasted for a quarter of an hour, and it still didn't wait for Mayor Hong to get down to business.

Waiting for Hu Xiaoying to say "goodbye", Hongxu suddenly said: "There is another thing, I almost forgot about it," Hu Xiaoying pricked up his ears: "Mayor Hong, please speak." Hu Xiaoying thought to herself, these last few words should be the real reason for Mayor Hong's call.

Mayor Hong said: "Yesterday, I asked Liang Jian to inform you of something, I don't know if he called you?" Hu Xiaoying was a little suspicious, Liang Jian did call him yesterday, but he didn't mention anything Mayor Hong wanted to sue him. Hu Xiaoying thought, could it be that Liang Jian forgot about it?

If Mayor Hong really asked Liang Jian to tell him something, and Liang Jian forgot about it, then Mayor Hong would definitely think that Liang Jian was not doing well. It's better to say that Liang Jian has already sued himself, so it's better for Liang Jian. As for what the hell is going on, you can ask Liang Jian afterwards.

Just as he was about to say "I have been informed", Hu Xiaoying suddenly chuckled in her heart and secretly said, "No!". According to Hu Xiaoying's understanding of Liang Jian, Liang Jian will definitely not forget the instructions of the leader, he is a very organized and meticulous person.

Moreover, he just said a "Zhou ......" in his mouth yesterday and seemed to hesitate again, which shows that Liang Jian can't say anything about this matter, but he almost sued himself again. Hu Xiaoying suddenly had an idea: Could it be that Mayor Hong is testing Liang Jian?

Hu Xiaoying's palms couldn't help but ooze a trace of sweat, and he said in his heart, he almost pretended to be smart just now, which ruined Liang Jian's image in Mayor Hong's heart. Hu Xiaoying hurriedly replied, "What is the matter?" Liang Jian didn't tell me!" Hong Xu said: "Really? Could it be that the young man forgot about it?" I asked him when I turned around. ”

Hu Xiaoying said: "Let me ask him, don't bother Mayor Hong." Hongxu said: "There is no need to be so troublesome. Let me tell you, yesterday your Changhu District Mayor Zhou Qitong came to my office to report on his work. Hu Xiaoying said in her heart, sure enough, it was Zhou Qitong. This is what Liang Jian wanted to say yesterday but did not say.

Hu Xiaoying wanted to know what Zhou Qitong said, but he couldn't ask, so he said, "Oh, yes? District Mayor Zhou should also come to visit Mayor Hong!" Hongxu said: "He talked about some ideas for promoting the new city in the north, and some of them were more practical. When you come back, you can also consider strengthening the guidance of the government's work and guiding them to further increase the pace of construction of the new city in the north. ”

Hu Xiaoying replied: "Mayor Hong, I understand. During this time at the Central Party School, we can think about some issues. I will also think carefully about how to speed up the construction of the new city in the north in a stable and orderly manner. Hongxu said: "It's good that you have such an idea. ”

Hu Xiaoying hung up the phone, and wanted to call Liang Jian and ask him if Mayor Hong really asked him to tell him about Zhou Qitong. As soon as she picked up the phone, she put it down again.

There is no need for this. Based on speculation, Hu Xiaoying can be sure that Mayor Hong is testing Liang Jian. If Liang Jian knows that he is being tempted by the mayor, it is not a very good feeling, and it is better not to know.

Mayor Hong returned from a meeting, and there was still half an hour left for lunch. Liang Jian was preparing for his afternoon work in the office when the landline on his desk suddenly rang. Liang Jian picked it up, and it was the voice of Deputy Secretary-General Shu Yuebo. Liang Jian said: "Hello Secretary General Shu. Shu Yuebo said, "Liang Jian, are you free?"

Liang Jian said: "I am free before eating. Secretary-General Shu said, "Come to my office." Secretary General Shu's voice was very low, even with some mystery, Liang Jian said the word "good", and then left the office and came to Secretary General Shu's office.

Secretary-General Shu was sitting behind his desk. He had a flat haircut, neatly trimmed, strong wrists, and very fair skin, which was due to the long time he had been sitting in the office. He also had a silver watch on his wrist, which looked very high-end. Liang Jian couldn't help but think that Secretary General Shu could be regarded as a veritable beautiful man.

Liang Jian sat down, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Secretary General Shu. Secretary-General Shu originally wanted to hand over the cigarette to Liang Jian, but when Liang Jian handed it over first, he just gave it up. Liang Jian doesn't usually smoke, because he brought cigarettes with him when he came to Secretary General Shu.

Secretary-General Shu spat out a smoke ring and asked, "How is this period of time?" Secretary-General Shu is in charge of personnel, and Liang Jian regarded this as an organizational conversation, so he said, "It's good." ”

Secretary-General Shu said: "It's good. I have heard from all sides that Mayor Hong still recognizes your work. Liang Jian said, "Thank you!" Secretary General Shu looked at Liang Jian again and asked, "Do you have any thoughts on your own development?"

Liang Jian smiled slightly and said, "In this regard, I believe that the organization will consider it." Secretary-General Shu looked at Liang Jian and nodded, "Yes, the organization will consider it." But first of all, you should think about yourself!"

Hearing this, Liang Jian felt that there was some implication in it. It is precisely because of this sentence that Liang Jian feels that Secretary-General Shu is not talking to him on behalf of the organization this time, but also a private conversation. Liang Jian sat up straight and asked, "Secretary General Shu, I am new to the school, and some things really need guidance from a leader like you." ”

Secretary General Shu leaned back in his chair and said, "I just heard about it." Secretary-General Xiao has not officially told me, and it is said that he will soon engage in middle-level posts. Liang Jian said: "I have also heard about this. Secretary General Shu leaned forward: "Oh, what else do you know?"

Liang Jian shook his head and said, "I don't know about the rest. Secretary-General Shu said: "How to arrange for you, do you have a number?"

Liang Jian really didn't know about this situation. He was originally the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Changhu District Party Committee, and he had already said before he was transferred that if the leader was satisfied, he would be given the deputy director, so he thought that the middle-level post was just a formality, and it should be solved for him. Liang Jian said: "The past two days have been relatively busy, and I really haven't cared about it. ”

Secretary-General Shu said: "We must be concerned about this! In the organs, if you fall down one step, you will fall down step by step." Liang Jian felt that what Secretary General Shu said was right, but under normal circumstances, the mayor's secretary would arrange a deputy director. However, he still expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Secretary-General Shu, for the reminder. ”

Secretary-General Shu put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, raised his head to look at Liang Jian and said, "Liang Jian, I feel that I am quite close to you, so I won't be sloppy about some words, just tell you directly." Liang Jian saw that Secretary-General Shu really had something to say, so he said, "Please ask Secretary-General Shu for instructions." ”

Secretary-General Shu nodded and said, "In the morning, Secretary-General Xiao asked me about my opinion on middle-level employment. Among them, there is about the arrangement for you. Hearing about his arrangement, it was difficult for Liang Jian not to care, but he still tried to be as calm as possible in his expression.

Secretary-General Shu continued: "Secretary-General Xiao said that this time, the middle-level post, whether to arrange a deputy director. At that time, I asked Secretary-General Xiao what he meant? Secretary-General Xiao said that in the past, many cadres who came up from the grass-roots level used to be leaders at the deputy section level, but after they came up, they became ordinary cadres. I said, but Liang Jian is different, after all, he was the deputy director of the Organization Department of the District Party Committee at the time, and it was Mayor Hong who took a fancy to the person he picked up.

Secretary-General Xiao said, how is this irresponsible? He is now serving as the mayor's secretary, and this position is very important! If we can look at it for a while, if Mayor Hong is really satisfied with Liang Jian's work, wouldn't it be more appropriate to arrange a deputy director for him? I just say that the key is to see what Mayor Hong means? Secretary-General Xiao said that when he reported to Mayor Hong that he was going to carry out the middle-level post, Mayor Hong said that this matter was handled by the office, and the office was determined. Secretary-General Xiao said that if he decides, then he will not arrange it for the time being.

"I said that Mayor Hong usually doesn't say it directly, but he definitely doesn't want to be in the middle of the job, and his secretary doesn't get anything. After listening to my words, Secretary-General Xiao said, either think about it again. That's the case. ”

After finishing speaking, Secretary General Shu picked up the cigarette on the table, took out one, threw it to Liang Jian, took out another one, and lit it himself. Liang Jian put the cigarette on the table, did not light it immediately, he looked at Secretary General Shu and asked: "Secretary General Shu, do you mean, this time the middle level of the post, will I be assigned a deputy director, or is it an unknown?"

Secretary-General Shu nodded, and then said: "If Mayor Hong can give a clear instruction, this matter will definitely be done." Now that Mayor Hong has no words, it is difficult to guarantee that Secretary General Xiao will have some willful actions. Liang Jian, why does Secretary-General Xiao have such a big opinion of you?"

Liang Jian knew that his arrival had made Secretary General Xiao's idea of arranging Chen Hui to be Mayor Hong's secretary ruined, and he naturally hated him. But instead of saying that, he said, "I think Secretary General Xiao just doesn't know me well enough." ”

When Secretary-General Shu heard this, he gave Liang Jian a thumbs up: "Liang Jian, if you have such awareness, it really means that you have matured." I think you should really let Secretary-General Xiao know more about you. Sometimes, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, and you should understand this truth. Although you are now Mayor Hong's personal secretary, you are also a cadre of the municipal government office, and the top leader of the municipal government office is Secretary General Xiao. Even if you have the full support of Mayor Hong, if Secretary General Xiao often stumbles on you here, you will always be in trouble. ”

Liang Jian said: "Thank you Secretary-General Shu for reminding me, I understand this." Secretary-General Shu said: "I am not telling you this, I am not speaking as the deputy secretary-general, I am telling you as a big brother who is a few years older than you. ”

Secretary-General Shu wanted Liang Jian to recognize this favor, Liang Jian said: "I know, how Secretary-General Shu treats me, I also know very well. Secretary General Shu smiled and said, "I heard that you and Qi Yun have been classmates since elementary school?"

Liang Jian didn't expect Shu Yuebo to suddenly mention Qi Yun, it seems that Qi Yun has already mentioned it to Shu Yuebo. Liang Jian didn't want to hide it: "Yes." Secretary-General Shu said: "Qi Yun has told me many times that you are very good, so please rest assured, as long as I am still in the government, I will definitely support you!"

Qi Yun spoke for herself in front of Shu Yuebo, and Liang Jian didn't know whether to be happy or worried. He prefers that Qi Yun is not so familiar with Shu Yuebo. Liang Jian said again: "Thank you." ”

Shu Yuebo took a puff of his cigarette, spit out two smoke rings, and then said to Liang Jian, "I have one more request." Liang Jian said: "Secretary-General Shu, please speak." Shu Yuebo said: "That night, you saw me and Qi Yun going back from the unit together, please don't tell others." It's complicated, some people like to chew their tongues, and it's nothing that is supposed to be unrecognizable in their mouths, and there are too many people who like to add oil and vinegar. ”

It turned out that Secretary General Shu wanted Liang Jian to shut up and not say anything about seeing him and Qi Yun together. Liang Jian said in his heart, I don't have time to care about your birds. He said, "Please rest assured, Secretary-General Shu, I won't say it." If nothing else, I'll go out first. ”

Secretary-General Shu waited for Liang Jian to go out, and after a while, he lit another cigarette and smoked it.
