Jiang Jingwei and Wu Xiaojun counted the number of people one by one, and only after everyone got into the car did they announce to everyone that Director Shi Wanhu was hospitalized and could not continue to move forward with everyone.

When everyone heard this, they felt very sudden, and there were many discussions for a while, although there were mixed reviews, and there was nothing to say, but because there was no interruption of the trip, I was still very relieved, Jiang Jingwei was not in the old cadres bureau for a year or two, I had some understanding, and the ability to do work and work was still there.

In the north, it was late in the morning, and it was raining lightly, and when I got out of Tongyuan City, it was pitch black without street lights.

Because they have to get up early to travel, many people can't sleep well at night, and the time is still early, so they go back to sleep and let the car pull and bump casually.

It is okay for old comrades to sleep, but it is not okay for the staff to lead the team, safety is the most important, we must always pay attention to changes in road conditions and possible abnormal situations, to ensure everyone's safety, a slight mistake, the consequences are unimaginable, this is the duty and responsibility.

Although Jiang Jingwei and Wu Xiaojun didn't close their eyes all night, without the backbone of Shi Wanhu, Jiang Jingwei was a little timid in his heart, especially walking on this kind of mountain road on a rainy day at night, he was extremely nervous, he didn't dare to be careless, he didn't dare to relax for a moment, and stared at the front expressionlessly.

Bai Lingyan has no psychological pressure, now with Wu Xiaojun by her side, she was bumped by the car all night, feeling weak and dizzy, even if she was sitting, she couldn't open her eyes, she kept dozing, she couldn't support it, the sleepy insect immediately came up, leaned her head on Wu Xiaojun's shoulder, and soon fell asleep.

Wu Xiaojun leaned over slightly, let Bai Lingyan's head rest on her supported knees, and wrapped his hands around her waist, so that she could sleep peacefully and steadily.

Although Wu Xiaojun and Jiang Jingwei guarded Shi Wanhu all night, it took some body and energy to carry them back and forth, after all, they were young, and they were not enough to reach Cheng Dù, who was overdrawn by Yan zhòng, just lowered his head and closed his eyes to recuperate, and his expression gave people a feeling of sleep.

Jiang Jingwei watched the two of them fall asleep sleepily, thinking about the situation at night, Wu Xiaojun was even more tormented than himself, and he was embarrassed to let the two of them fight for him, so he had to grit his teeth and hold on.

Ma Xinjiao has been a leader for many years, and she is very aware of the pressure Jiang Jingwei is facing at the moment, seeing that she always maintains a high degree of vigilance, with a nervous expression, she comforts softly, "Little Jiang! Don't be so nervous, you have to trust the master's driving skills and level. Five years ago, my daughter and I came here, although the mountain road is a little rougher, not as steep and dangerous as expected, as long as you remind the master to drive slower, there will be no major problems. ”

The dull air always makes people feel depressed in their hearts, Jiang Jingwei, who is at a loss in her heart, can have someone chat with her at this moment, divert her highly nervous attention, and it is much stronger to take a shot of cardiotonic medicine, Jiang Jingwei smiled slightly, "Director Ma!" To be honest, it's the first time I've led a team out, and I'm really nervous, and since you've been here, I'm also down-to-earth! ”

Ma Xinjiao and Jiang Jingwei whispered, which quickly aroused Wu Xiaojun's interest, and listened quietly with his eyes closed.

Ma Xinjiao was quite an elder, and said earnestly, "Little Jiang! Now we are a whole, it is necessary to remind and help each other, there are so many well-informed and experienced leaders, there is something to discuss together, find a way together, there is no big deal. ”

"Thank you, leader! I have a small request, can I make it? ”

"Little girl! What's polite, just say! ”

Jiang Jingwei often deals with Ma Xinjiao at work, and they are more familiar with each other, and they talk more casually, and say quietly, "That's the case!" As soon as we set off from home, I found that you and Secretary Sun were a little disagreeable, and it seemed that they were deliberately angry with him, we people, he was the oldest, I was worried that the old secretary would be aggrieved for a long time, what would happen, do you see if-"

Ma Xinjiao smiled to herself, and said in a low voice, "Scared!" What did I think! So that's it! At first, when I saw a team with him, I felt very awkward in my heart, and I just wanted to be angry with him. People, always have to be compassionate, it's not right to fall into the ground! Actually, although the old guy used to be a little domineering, it's not easy to be alone now! You know this better than I do when you work as a veteran cadre. Don't worry, I'm not that stingy. ”

Jiang Jingwei was relieved when he heard Ma Xinjiao say this, and sighed, "Yes! The old leader has worked hard all his life, but he has no children, and his wife died of Alzheimer's disease in the previous year, and now he is alone, and there is no one to take care of him, especially lonely, it is really pitiful. After all, the care and care of the organization is limited, and he has to rely on himself. Looking at the old secretary's current situation, I was thinking, if the two of you were together, he would be many times stronger than now! ”

Ma Xinjiao is an elderly person, and she was not disgusted by Jiang Jingwei when she said this, but said happily, "Silly girl!" Look at what you said, fortunately, I had eyes back then, and I resolutely didn't get along with him. You see that the chairman of Renhua is full of children and grandchildren, those who are engaged in politics, those who are in business, all of them are particularly promising, which one is not smooth. And Mrs. Kim, who is carefree and happy all day long, how good it is! It's that he was not right-minded at the beginning, and with the power in his hands, he said that he secretly harmed others, and in the end, it was also retribution. After all, people are old, and he should regret it when he thinks of the past alone! ”

"Yes! Take you as an example, my daughter graduated from college and became a university teacher, her work is easy and worry-free, and her son-in-law is a doctor in a central hospital, respected, and has a high income. ”

"In this society now, I have long understood that doing anything is better than being an official, and a momentary scenery may be a lifetime of regret! What status, honor, and vindictiveness are all floating clouds, and their own family, children and life are real. Everyone knows the relationship between you and Director Shi, I am a relatively straightforward person, I advise you, think more about the child, hurry up and find a way to get rid of the stone beast, you are not good to anyone like this, when the child is older, he despises you, looks down on you, and even chooses to leave and abandon you, there is no place for regret! ”

"What Director Ma said is ah, my family is determined to divorce me, and my former rival is together, out of revenge and vindictiveness, I have done stupid things that even I feel inexplicable, sometimes, I don't know that I will become like this, I feel a little ridiculous and inferior when I think about it, but people can't help themselves, and it's too difficult to change yourself."

"No matter how difficult it is, there is no old man who led the toiling masses to fight the country, you are still young, and you are so shrewd and capable, the time is still long, the road is still long, and there are still a lot of things to do for yourself, but you can't give up on yourself, live a bad life, you must seize the opportunity, give up the past, and start your new life again."

"It's rare that you can say this to me from the bottom of your heart, thank you for the director's teachings, I will continue to work hard!"

Wu Xiaojun listened silently, and said secretly, Ma Xinjiao, Jiang Jingwei, Secretary Sun, Shi Wanhu, there are really a lot of hidden stories behind these people, but Ma Xinjiao and Jiang Jingwei are not as despicable and filthy as they imagined, they can only say that the environment is not good for them, especially Jiang Jingwei has come to this point, and he is also forced by the cruel reality.

Gradually, the sky was already bright, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

Wu Xiaojun felt more and more bumpy, and hurriedly opened his closed eyes, and saw that the morning fog was like a thick dark cloud shrouding the undulating mountains, winding around the curved and rugged mountain roads, giving people a gloomy and cold feeling, and couldn't help frowning, and whispered to Jiang Jingwei, "Director Jiang, the mountain road here is slippery and narrow, the fog is thick, and the bumps are so bad, I'm afraid that the old comrades with bad hearts can't stand it, and it is very dangerous to go on like this, talk to the master, see if there is a place to rest in front of you, and then go after the fog is small!" ”

Jiang Jingwei looked around, it was indeed more dangerous here, nodded, and asked the driver, "Master, where are you now, is there a place to stop and rest nearby?" ”

The driver drove the car intently, and said in a muffled voice, "Phoenix Mountain, a hundred kilometers north of Tongyuan, belongs to a long and narrow deep valley, which is the most dangerous and difficult place to walk on this road. ”

Wu Xiaojun thought that there were still more than 20 kilometers, and at this speed, he would not be able to get out of the mountain in an hour, and said, "Master! You see that the rain is so heavy, the fog is so heavy, and the vision of driving is blurred, why not find a place to stop the car and wait for the rain to light up before leaving! ”

"Okay! I don't care, it's you who charter the car, you can go how you say! However, I can remind you that this is the junction of the two counties, and the people in the mountains are relatively wild, and no one cares about it. ”

The driver said nonchalantly.

"Master, no, it's hard to dare to rob in broad daylight!"

Jiang Jingwei said a little incredulously.

"Believe it or not, I don't dare to pack tickets!"

The driver said disdainfully.

"Alright then, you have to be careful, drive slowly!"

Jiang Jingwei saw that the driver was unwilling to stop here, so he was very helpless, and briefly discussed with Wu Xiaojun, and said disappointedly.

After the car moved forward for more than ten minutes, Kong Lin, who was sitting in the back, suddenly said loudly, "Xiao Jiang, let the master stop the car, Director Sun and Chairman Hua are in a hurry to go down for convenience!" ”

If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what you have, and you would rather believe it than believe it, Jiang Jingwei was a little stunned by the driver's words, Kong Lin said this, and had to let the driver find a place to park nearby, so he said, "Master, stop the car!" There are old comrades to be convenient! ”

The driver carefully stopped on the side of a slightly wider road, opened the car door, and then several old comrades hurriedly held up umbrellas and got out of the car.
