When he arrived in Jingtian, Xue Fei met with some friends one after another. Seeing Xue Fei's appearance, they all had a premonition that it was not so simple for Xue Fei to leave Nanhe, but no one asked the reason, and they all said it nicely, comforting Xue Fei in disguise.

For a whole week, Xue Fei basically soaked with friends from all walks of life every day, spending time drinking and talking.

As soon as Xue Fei arrived in Jingtian, Ouyang Xinzhong called him and asked him to go to his house, saying that he had something to tell him. Xue Fei didn't go, he said that he was busy and didn't have time. A few days later, Ouyang called him again in the letter, but he didn't answer.

Xue Fei was angry in his heart, he knew that he was to blame for this step to this day. But if it is said that Jing Tian is pregnant for 70 percent, then he must also help the Ouyang family to reorganize the Rong family at least 30 percent. Most importantly, he didn't believe that Ouyang Xinzhong didn't know that the number one leader was someone from the Rong family. Ouyang Xinzhong knew that he still asked him to go to the Rong family, which was simply pushing him into the fire pit. Now that he has been dismissed, what is the use of seeing Ouyang in the letter?

Ouyang Xinzhong heard that Xue Fei's departure from Nanhe was the Rong family's doing, but he obviously didn't know what happened between Xue Fei and Jing Tian, so he thought that it was the result of Xue Fei helping the Ouyang family to reorganize the Rong family, and he felt very guilty and wanted to talk to Xue Fei face to face. But Xue Fei didn't see him, which made him very distressed, so he had to call Ouyang Jinxiu.

Ouyang Jinxiu, like Ling Ziyue, also thought it was a normal personnel transfer, and she didn't know that Xue Fei had been helping the Ouyang family to renovate the Rong family before, so when she learned from Ouyang Xinzhong, she was very shocked and annoyed, and had a big quarrel with Ouyang Xinzhong, and said that she would solve what she did by herself, and she would not help find Xue Fei.

Ouyang Xin was middle-aged and old, and as soon as he was in a hurry, he was admitted to the hospital, and Ouyang Jinxiu had no choice but to visit the hospital. When Ouyang saw her in the letter, he still asked her to bring Xue Fei over, and he wanted to apologize to Xue Fei in person.

Ouyang Xinzhong's temper Ouyang Jinxiu knows, she finds that as she grows older, Ouyang Xinzhong is no longer as domineering as she was back then, and even if she does something wrong, she will not admit her mistakes. Seeing that the old man was also pitiful, Ouyang Jinxiu's heart softened, and she said that she would go to Xue Fei, and if Xue Fei didn't come, she would have no choice.

Xue Fei and Ouyang didn't see it in the letter, Ouyang Jinxiu he couldn't see it, but he knew the purpose of Ouyang Jinxiu looking for him.

"I'm sorry to tell you for my dad, I really didn't expect you to help the family deal with the Rong family, if I knew I would definitely not agree. But it's too late to say anything, and I can understand how you're feeling right now. If I were you, I would hate my dad so much. But he also knows that he is wrong, and he is old, and if he has to see you, I can't help it. If you can go, you'd better go to the hospital to see him. If you don't want to go, I won't force you, anyway, my dad regrets it now, he didn't expect to hurt you, he really didn't mean to. Ouyang Jinxiu said.

Xue Fei listened to Ouyang Jinxiu's words, and his anger towards Ouyang Xinzhong disappeared by half. The matter has come to this, what is the use of him blaming Ouyang Xin? And he also believed that Ouyang Xinzhong could not deliberately harm him, maybe he just thought about the problem simply.

Xue Fei didn't go to the hospital to see Ouyang Xinzhong, but he asked Ouyang Jinxiu to pass the word: "Let the past pass." Tell the old man to take care of his illness, and when he is well, I will go to see him at home. ”

I used to want to accompany Zhang Fengxia and He Miao well, but I didn't have so much time. Now that he finally has time, Xue Fei is relieved to accompany them, basically being with them every day, and living a leisurely life.

In the evening, Xue Fei and He Miao took their son Xue Yifan and daughter Xue Jasmine to accompany Zhang Fengxia for a walk on the beach.

A few people walked and chatted, and when they talked about something interesting, a few people would laugh unbridledly.

"Son, you tell your mother the truth, when you decided to take the civil service exam, did you think that you could become the secretary of the provincial party committee one day?" Zhang Fengxia asked.

Xue Fei shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it." But I have an idea in my heart that if I want to do it, I have to do my best and sit in a higher position as much as I can. But what level this higher position is, I really don't know. ”

Xue Fei has never had an accurate goal, he just keeps moving forward, how far he can go.

"You haven't left any regrets in the past five years in Nanhe, right?" Zhang Fengxia asked again.

Xue Fei thought for a moment and said, "How to say, if there are no regrets from what I have done, I have tried my best to do my best." It's a bit of a pity to say that I didn't do it, because I didn't see them realized, and I was also a little worried about whether Nanhe could continue to develop according to the ideas I had designed before. ”

Zhang Fengxia asked again: "What about life, do you have any regrets?" ”

Xue Fei was asked, he had never thought about this question.

Zhang Fengxia looked at He Miao, then at her eldest grandson and granddaughter, and said, "I think you not only have regrets in life, but you should also have a lot of debts." How big is an official? Work is not the whole of a person's life, life is more important than work. You're also about to turn 50 years old, and you're already in the second half of your life. Maybe it's time to reimagine the rest of your life. ”

He Miao looked at Xue Fei, stopped talking, and then looked at the endless sea.

Xue Fei stopped and watched his mother walk away, he was stunned at first, and then he had mixed feelings......

The mother walked a long way only to find that Xue Fei had not followed, so she stopped. Xue Yifan and Xue Jasmine waved their hands at Xue Fei loudly, and shouted loudly: "Dad, come here......"

Xue Fei woke up like a dream, stretched out his hand and signaled, and hurriedly walked towards them.

Ma Jiayao has been abroad, and recently returned to China to deal with some things in the company, and she learned that Xue Fei had left Nanhe.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Ma Jiayao looked at Xue Fei dissatisfied.

Xue Fei said with a smile: "It's just a normal job transfer, and it's not a big deal, so I didn't call you." ”

"Is it really a normal job transfer?" Before Ma Jiayao came to see Xue Fei, she met with Xue Jiaqiang, although Xue Jiaqiang didn't say it explicitly, but from Xue Jiaqiang's words, she sensed that Xue Fei seemed to have something inside to leave Nanhe.

Xue Fei looked away and said, "Of course." I have also been working in Nanhe for five years, and the time is not too short, and it is normal for me to have new arrangements on it. ”

"Where is your next stop?"

"I don't know yet, I'm still waiting for notice."

Ma Jiayao took Xue Fei's hand and said solemnly: "I'll see that you will go home at the next stop." ”

Xue Fei looked at Ma Jiayao puzzled: "You don't want me to continue to follow the path of official career?" ”

Ma Jiayao shook her head and said, "I don't want to, I really don't want to." You have become the secretary of the provincial party committee, and from a career point of view, you are really successful, so what else? So then I think you should go back to the family, don't do anything else, just be company. Spend time with the elderly, with the wives, with the children, or simply move to our private island and enjoy life. ”

Ma Jiayao felt that Xue Fei had invested too much in his work in the past 20 years, but he ignored life and ignored women like her who have been following Xue Fei and never abandoning Xue Fei. How can a man be successful in his career? If you can't make your wife and children happy, it's not a success in the real sense.

In fact, Ma Jiayao had long had the idea of persuading Xue Fei to leave the officialdom, but Xue Fei had been on the rise in her career before, and she knew that it would be useless to say it. And this opportunity is rare, she said the words that had been held in her stomach for a long time, hoping that Xue Fei could listen to her and return to her family and life wholeheartedly.

Zhang Fengxia's words touched Xue Fei a lot before, and now Ma Jiayao persuaded him to leave the officialdom, which made Xue Fei have to rethink how he should go next.

Xue Fei had never thought of leaving since the day he stepped into the officialdom, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that there is nothing bad about leaving. There are thousands of civil servants, how many of them can be the secretary of the provincial party committee? From this point of view, it should be content. What's more, he still has so many achievements to be proud of.

In addition, his five years in Nanhe should be the end of his brilliant political career, he offended the Rong family, the No. 1 chief personally dismissed him, and it doesn't make much sense for him to continue to stay in officialdom, so it is better to take this opportunity to turn around and leave, and look good.

And as Zhang Fengxia said, he does owe too much to life and family, and he needs to make up for it and need enough time. And if he continues to stay in officialdom, his debt will increase more and more, and it will never be able to make up for it.

After a few days of thinking and weighing, Xue Fei finally decided to resign and quit.

For such a major matter, it is obvious that Ling Zhongyuan and He Qingyi should be informed in advance.

Before May Day, Xue Fei went to Jingtian, he first went to see He Qingyi, and told his thoughts truthfully.

He Qingyi was still quite surprised, but quickly returned to normal: "Have you thought about it?" ”

Xue Fei nodded affirmatively: "I think about it, this is a decision I made after careful consideration." ”

He Qingyi sighed: "You are not a child anymore, your life should be up to you." Now that you've figured it out, I don't have any opinion. ”

After He Qingyi finished speaking, he stopped talking.

He Qingyi is very optimistic about his son-in-law, he feels that the secretary of the provincial party committee is by no means the end of Xue Fei's political/governing career, and going to Jingtian is just around the corner. It's a pity that the ideas are always beautiful, the reality is always cruel, I didn't expect that there would be extraneous branches and offend the Rong family, and the No. 1 chief is just the person of the Rong family, so he can't be more unlucky.

The term of office of the No. 1 leader expires this year, but given his age, he will definitely be re-elected. In this way, where is there a chance for Xue Fei to turn over? This is also the most important reason why He Qingyi did not stop Xue Fei from resigning.

When he told Ling Zhongyuan about his resignation, he was strongly opposed by Ling Zhongyuan: "If you have the ability to cause trouble, but if you don't have the ability to take responsibility, you will only choose to resign and escape, this is your Xue Fei's ability?" It's just a setback, and there's no need to be so pessimistic. You're still young, and there are plenty of opportunities to make a comeback in the future. If you do quit your job now and regret it in the future, you don't have a place to buy regret medicine. You listen to me, I firmly disagree with your resignation. ”

Ling Zhongyuan's reaction was expected by Xue Fei, so he didn't argue with Ling Zhongyuan, and after he finished his thoughts, he left.

Ling Zhongyuan saw that Xue Fei had made up his mind, so he called Ling Ziyue and asked Ling Ziyue to persuade Xue Fei to never resign. But what Xue Fei had already decided could not be changed by ordinary people, so Ling Ziyue's persuasion did not play any role.

After meeting Ling Zhongyuan and He Qingyi, Xue Fei submitted a letter of resignation to the Central Organization Department.

When leading cadres resign, they have to go through some procedures, such as the organization department and the discipline inspection department looking for a talk. And a cadre of Xue Fei's level, the final resignation still needs the clapstick of the highest decision-making level.

After talking to the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection one after another, it was May Day, and Xue Fei left Jingtian and returned to Yunhai, waiting for the decision of the highest level after May Day.
