I looked at the only clock in the house, and it was almost past nine o'clock. Liang Jian was very strange, how could Ma Rui, the son of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, call him at this time?

When Mayor Hong mentioned it to himself that day, he said that he would invite him to dinner in two days. Liang Jian said: "Mr. Ma is good, I reported to Mayor Hong that day, and I will invite you to dinner another day." ”

Ma Rui said: "The matter of eating, another day will be another day." Today, I'll treat you to tea first! Liang Jian is doing things now, and he doesn't want to do those things that he is not prepared for, Liang Jian originally said that he would invite Ma Rui to dinner for a few days, but in fact, he wanted to delay for a while and find an opportunity to understand Ma Rui.

In the past few days, because of something, I have been dragging it out, but I didn't expect Ma Rui to come to the door in person. I could have found a reason to refuse, but today is Friday, and it seems that Ma Rui has also chosen the right time. If you refuse again, I'm afraid it will be rude.

Liang Jian simply said refreshingly: "No problem." But let me invite you to tea, and let me do the friendship of the landlord first. ”

Ma Rui said: "This time it must be me who invited, I am already in the tea room." ”

Liang Jian knew that it was a tea room in the center of the city, so he rushed over. At the front door of the building, there is a small bridge and flowing water, and behind it is a small cubicle and box, which looks small and exquisite.

Liang Jian thought to himself, this Ma Rui is really a bit Yaxing! According to the box number provided, it was reported to the hostess and was taken over.

I saw a casually dressed boy with neat hair sitting on a sofa with a string of coral-colored beads coiled in his hand.

Over the years, Liang Jian has seen a lot of people, all of whom are playing with this thing, holding it in his hand, and passing it over one by one, which is very enjoyable. Liang Jian was a little surprised to see this boy, who was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, also playing with beads in his hand.

Liang Jian took the initiative to greet and said, "Is it Ma Rui, Mr. Ma?" Ma Rui also stood up, he was slightly shorter than Liang Jian, but at least he was about 1.8 meters tall, with the shadow of Deputy Secretary Ma Chaoqun in his appearance.

But compared with Ma Chaoqun's official appearance, Ma Rui is more of a fledgling feeling. After all, Ma Rui only came back from abroad last year, so it can be said that he is not deeply involved in the domestic world. This made Liang Jian much more relaxed psychologically.

Liang Jian originally thought that Ma Rui would be the kind of second-generation special official, speaking superior and arrogant, so there would be no way to communicate well. Unexpectedly, this Ma Rui is still quite humble.

The two shook hands politely and sat down.

In the relatively transparent box, a pot of tea and exquisite tea sets have been prepared. The white porcelain cup, after pouring a little golden liquid, looks very pleasant.

Ma Rui picked up one of the small tea bowls, handed it to Liang Jian, and said, "Taste it." Liang Jian felt that the taste was okay and nodded.

Ma Rui smiled very gentlemanly and said: "This place in Jingzhou is suitable for drinking tea and maintaining health." Liang Jian wanted to discern what he meant by this sentence, but with this sentence, he couldn't figure it out. He didn't answer, smiled and repeated again: "Drink tea, maintain health." ”

Seeing that Liang Jian didn't say anything else, Ma Rui asked again: "Standing Committee Member Liang, do you know why I invited you to tea?" ”

Fund? These two words popped up in Liang Jian's heart. At that time, when Mayor Hong talked to himself about Ma Rui, he was talking about money. Ma Rui wants to start a business, and entrepreneurship needs capital.

However, if you say the word "funds" bluntly, I'm afraid it's not too polite. Isn't there a saying that when you talk about money, it's vulgar to talk about money. Today's occasion is not a vulgar occasion.

Liang Jian had no choice but to pretend to be stupid, looked at Ma Rui and said with a smile: "Mr. Ma, please speak." ”

Ma Rui looked at Liang Jian and smiled with a very rich expression: "I mainly want to meet Standing Committee Member Liang." You should also feel that the reputation of Standing Committee Liang in the entire Jingzhou City is like thunder, as long as you are in the officialdom, almost on every occasion, I am afraid you can hear people talking about Standing Committee Liang. ”

Liang Jian was taken aback when he heard this: "Really? Thank you. I don't think I'm that famous. Ma Rui said: "This shows that Standing Committee Member Liang is a very humble person. ”

Listening to the son of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee praising himself so much, Liang Jian's feeling can't be said to be bad. However, Liang Jian also knows that this kind of praise will not come in vain. So, Liang Jian said: "I am just an ordinary civil servant. ”

Ma Rui picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea and said, "It's still ordinary?" Becoming a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee at the age of 30, this speed is absolutely unusual, and it is estimated that it is unique in the entire Jingzhou City. ”

This is also true, the 30-year-old Standing Committee member of Jingzhou City is indeed Liang Jian alone. From this point of view, it is indeed unusual. Liang Jian laughed at himself: "Some cadres are very fast in the early stage, but they don't move in the back. Perhaps, I belong to this kind of cadre. ”

Ma Rui shook his head and said, "I don't know anything about officialdom, but I always listen to my old man say that career is planned." It is true that there is luck in the official career, but when the luck is exhausted, the kind of person you just mentioned starts quickly, and then does not move. That is to say that luck runs out. But cadres who know how to plan are different, luck comes naturally, and when bad luck comes, he can also find ways to avoid roundabouts, so the whole is upward. ”

I didn't expect Ma Rui to be able to say such a thing. Liang Jian said: "Mr. Ma, I think you are suitable for officialdom development. Although what you said is your father's words, if you can quote it, it means that you have experience. When you go to officialdom, there must be development. ”

Ma Rui shook his head and said, "I'll forget it." I'm not interested in officialdom, I still like to innovate and engage in scientific research, it's as simple as that. ”

Liang Jian nodded and said, "Actually, this is also very good. ”

Ma Rui suddenly smiled and said: "Today, I always feel that Standing Committee Member Liang is a little restrained in his speech. I wonder if you have something in mind? Liang Jian said: "No, no, I'm like this, I can't let go if I don't drink." ”

Ma Rui smiled: "It turns out that Standing Committee Member Liang likes to drink? Then I'm mistaken, next time I'll invite Standing Committee Liang to drink. Liang Jian said: "That's not good, it's okay, next time I'll invite Mr. Ma to drink." ”

Ma Rui said: "Liang Standing Committee, I have a mention, don't call me Mr. Ma, and I won't call you Liang Standing Committee." Just call it by its name, right? ”

Liang Jian said: "That's okay." Then call it by name next time. ”

From beginning to end, Ma Rui did not mention the matter of financing. Liang Jian didn't talk about it either, it's a pit, waiting for you to jump. If you can't help it and open the pit first, then you'll have to jump down yourself. Liang Jian: So let yourself have to hold on.

Ma Rui's impression of himself is really too different from those second-generation officials or returnees. However, Liang Jian doesn't particularly want to associate with him, after all, the son of a high-ranking official is not something you can know if you want to know, which is more vigilant than directly dealing with a high-ranking official. Liang Jian didn't want to be too tired.

Liang Jian estimated that Ma Rui didn't talk about things this time, and he might not be able to bear it next time.

The next day was Saturday. Hu Xiaoying and Liang Jian both went to Li Ning's dinner. Li Ning was very cautious and let all the members of the organization department of the county party committee participate, and no one else participated among the county leaders. Li Ning was very affectionate and kept toasting. The other team members are all section-level cadres in the county, and they rarely have the opportunity to eat at the same table with Hu Xiaoying, so they also took this opportunity to toast him.

Hu Xiaoying was also refreshing, and she usually drank them when they toasted her. Li Ning suddenly proposed to pay homage to Minister Hu and Liang Jian. He said: "Minister Hu and Standing Committee Member Liang are both from Changhu District, which is a common denominator; Minister Hu and Liang Standing Committee members are both from the municipal government, which is the second common denominator. Therefore, we must respect two people who have something in common. ”

Liang Jian hurriedly said: "Do you want to respect or be alone, how can I be on an equal footing with Minister Hu?" Hu Xiaoying said: "Come on, let them respect us together, I think they have drunk a lot today." ”

After drinking almost, Hu Xiaoying said: "Liang Jian's future work will require Minister Li to care more about it." ”

As soon as these words came out, Minister Li was flattered, and Hu Xiaoyingken said this sentence, which means that he accepted him Li Ning. He pulled Liang Jian to toast again.

After dinner, Li Ning said that he would send a car to Hu Xiaoying, but Hu Xiaoying said no. She wanted to walk. Minister Li said: "It is not safe for Minister Hu to go alone, so Liang Standing Committee member will send him away, and he will definitely send Minister Hu home safely." ”

Liang Jian did not refuse, and followed Hu Xiaoying.

When she got downstairs, Hu Xiaoying asked, "Can you go up and sit down?" Liang Jian said, "Just sit down." ”

There is a word "just", which means very clearly. Liang Jian is worried that too close contact with Hu Xiaoying will be risky, which will not be good for him, and even worse for Hu Xiaoying. Hu Xiaoying also said: "Just sit down." ”

When she arrived at Hu Xiaoying's house, she poured water for Liang Jian and told Liang Jian that she wanted to take a bath first, and Liang Jian could go to her study to sit down.

There is a special fragrance in the study, which is not sandalwood or perfume, but a woman's unique fragrance. In this study, one wall is a simple and high-quality bookshelf, which is full of books on politics, economics, history, etc. It can be seen that as a leading cadre at the municipal level, it is still necessary to strengthen study on a regular basis.

Liang Jian accidentally saw a flat paper on the desk, with a pen on the side, and saw the handwriting on it, as if it had not been finished, Liang Jian looked down with curiosity, and saw that it was written with a backbone and gentle pen:

Where does a woman's self-confidence come from? Is it love from some man? Or your academic qualifications, location? Probably neither. It's from your financial freedom, from the world you've seen, from your experience, and of course, your status. Women can live well with men and families, but they can't live with a sense of security. The greatest sense of security is to be strong yourself......

Looking at these words, Liang Jian had a feeling in his heart that he didn't know how to say it, could this be the voice of a strong woman? And is this something that Hu Xiaoying deliberately let herself see?

That night, Liang Jian really just sat down and went home. Hu Xiaoying didn't keep him too much.
