Xia Xiang didn't know her: "Who are you?" Who are you looking for? ”

"I'm looking for Cao Shudai, is this Cao Shudai's house?" The girl walked in by herself without Xia Xiang's consent, glanced around the customer hall, her eyes fell on Shi De's face, and she was stunned, "Why are you?" ”

Shi De was also stunned, and also asked: "Why can't it be me?" How are you? ”

The girl was none other than the girl in the back row who sat side by side with Cao Yongguo on the bus last time. Seeing that the girl recognized him, Shi De knew that he was also remembered by the girl at that time.

"What's your name?" The girl Dangxia wanted to be the same as Cao Yongguo, and asked Shi De's name very rudely.

"Ahem, aren't you looking for Cao Shudai and asking me what my name is for?" Shi De saw that the girl seemed to be ignorant, so he didn't want to tell her his name.

"I'm looking for Cao Shudai, but I'm also interested in you and want to know your name." The girl did not give up, and did not think that it was very rude to talk like this in someone else's house.

"Qi Mei ......" Cao Shudai's brisk voice sounded from upstairs, and she ran down the stairs, "Why are you here?" They didn't give me a word beforehand. ”

"I'm here when I want to, what, aren't you welcome? If you're not welcome, I'll go. As soon as she said that, the girl turned and left.

"Wait, your name is Qi...... Eyebrow? Shi De was stunned, could this Qi Mei be the Bi Qi Mei that the whole said.

"yes, what's wrong? Do you know me? No, you don't know me. Have you ever heard my name? Qi Mei glanced at Shi De indifferently, "Okay, now that you know my name, you should tell me your name." ”

"Shide." Although Shi De was not sure that Qi Mei in front of him was the complete daughter Qi Mei, his intuition told him that it should not be a coincidence, he didn't expect that the first meeting with Qi Mei would come so quickly, and he didn't expect that he would meet at Cao's house.

"Shide? What does it mean to give first and then receive? Qi Mei thought thoughtfully, and shook his head indifferently, "The name is not bad, but the person is a little worse, he doesn't learn well at a young age, and he learns feudal superstition." ”

Shi De knew what Qi Mei was referring to, he smiled faintly, and also argued: "Everyone has their own wellhead, some people have big wells, some people have small wells. ”

Qi Mei suddenly became angry: "Are you mocking me for being a frog at the bottom of the well?" ”

"Summer insects can't speak to ice." Shi responded lightly.

"Humph! Pretend to be profound! Qi Mei didn't argue with Shi De anymore, and stretched out his hand to pull Cao Shudai, "Shu Dai, go, go upstairs, I have something to say to you." ”

From beginning to end, Qi Mei didn't say hello to Cao Yongguo and Xia Xiang, and went upstairs directly.

"Eyebrows...... Who is it? Cao Yongguo was also confused, he didn't understand why a Qi Mei suddenly appeared, and he had no impression of Qi Mei sitting next to him on the bus at the time.

"I heard Shu Dai say that Qi Mei is a girl with a lot of personality, and I don't know how I met Shu Dai, and then they became good friends. By the way, she is the daughter of Deputy Secretary Qi. Xia thought about something and said the origin of Qi Mei.

"A complete daughter?" Cao Yongguo was taken aback, he was not shocked by Qi Mei's identity, but because of Qi Mei's perverse character. In his opinion, how could the serious Deputy Secretary Qi have a daughter with such a personality.

"That's right, it's a complete daughter." Xia Xiang nodded, "I only heard Shu Dai say that Qi Mei has a lot of personality before, but I didn't expect that she is really very characterful." ”

"Don't mention Qi Mei, get down to business, get down to business." If it is usual, Cao Yongguo has been in officialdom for a long time, and his level of cultivation and patience are first-class, but it is also strange, in front of Shi De, he always wants to go straight to the point, and he also wants to know, what is Shi De's opinion on the prospect of his upcoming deputy mayor of Shimen, "Shi De, what do you say about my prospects as the deputy mayor of Shimen?" ”

Although Cao Yongguo's problem is also expected by Shi De - everyone will worry about the uncertainty of the future - his problem is very challenging for Shi De, and with Shi De's current state, it is really impossible to see what kind of situation Cao Yongguo will face and what kind of prospects he will have after taking office.

After all, he did not understand the composition of the Shimen government.

However, Cao Yongguo's words were not untargeted, he was stunned when he saw Shide, and smiled slightly: "Speaking of which, although there are many people in the Shimen government, there are three most important people, Liu Baojia, Shang Jianchao, and me. Needless to say, you are no stranger to Shang Jianchao, and you have also seen Liu Baojia, imagine what it would be like for the three of us to work together? ”

Although Shi De had met Liu Baojia from a distance in Shancheng, first, he was the first to be a physiognomy at that time, and his realm was not enough, and secondly, he did not observe Liu Baojia carefully enough, and now it has been too long, and if he recalls, his impression is also a little blurred.

"Sit quietly and think about yourself, don't talk about others......" Shi De smiled and laughed at himself, "It's not good to say bad things about people behind your back?" ”

"Haha......" Cao Yongguo heard the meaning of Shi De's words, and knew that Shi De's words were alluding to, which meant that Liu Baojia and Shang Jianchao were not very good people, he smiled frankly, "I often think about myself, I agree, but we talk about it, not to discuss the rights and wrongs of others behind our backs, but for the happiness of the people of Shimen, we will do the preliminary work first." As long as the starting point is good and the end goal is above board, it is understandable that there are occasional disgraceful places in the process in between. ”

The same thing, with different intentions, will bring different results, and at the same time, whether it is a blessing or a loss is also different. For example, if the official really wants to benefit the people, and not to embezzle money from the construction funds, then his merit is very great. But if his starting point is only for his own selfishness, that is, to enrich his own pockets, then there are a lot of losses.

As soon as Cao Yongguo said this, Shi De knew more clearly that Cao Yongguo knew the way of good fortune and misfortune better than Xia You and Quanquan, and he must have read many books on eliminating disasters and accumulating blessings, and he had also read many Buddhist scriptures.

Since it came to this point, Shi De didn't say a few words, and it was estimated that he wouldn't be able to pass the test, so he thought about it seriously, and Shi De smiled lightly: "Shang Jianchao's personality, I also said to Uncle Xia You Xia before, with the method of respecting and staying away, the reality of encirclement, to Uncle Cao, I also mean the same thing." ”

Cao Yongguo didn't speak, nodded with a deep gaze, he understood what Shi De meant, he was staying away on the surface, but in fact, he was secretly encircling Shang Jianchao to prevent Shang Jianchao from sitting big. He has also heard of Shang Jianchao's personality and knows that this person is ruthless.

"What about Liu Bao's family?" Xia Xiang asked Cao Yongguo questions about Liu Bao's family.

"Be the same as the light, seek common ground while reserving differences." Liu Baojia and Shang Jianchao are not all the way, Shi De doesn't know, but what he knows is that Liu Baojia and Shang Jianchao have different personalities, if Shang Jianchao is insidious and evil, he likes to do everything behind his back, then Liu Baojia likes to solve everything on the table, even if it is directly slapping the table and scolding his mother, he has to solve it in person.

There is a saying that open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, and many times, real villains are better to deal with than hypocrites.

"You mean to secretly suppress the hypocrites and confront the real villains head-on?" Xia Xiang comprehended Shi De's hint in time, he didn't have a long time to enter the officialdom, much shorter than Cao Yongguo, but his comprehension of some normalities in officialdom was more perceptive than Cao Yongguo.

Whether in politics or business, understanding is always the fundamental ability of how far a person can go.

Shi De smiled without saying a word, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip: "Good tea." Three cups of wine, a pot of tea, tea, tea, tea. ”

It is said that at Shide's age, he should not pretend to be profound in front of Cao Yongguo and Xia Xiang, but he just did it, but it did not seem contrived and pretentious, on the contrary, there was a natural calmness.

Cao Yongguo was silent for a moment, and said with emotion: "There is a good saying - the mouth is not forgiving, the heart is kind, and the heart is not forgiving. People with good hearts dare to speak out, and people with sweet mouths hide riddles. I'd rather make friends with a bunch of ghosts who raise the bar, and don't form a group of sweet-mouthed thieves - secretly suppress the hypocrites and confront the real villains head-on, Shi De, Xiao Xia, you two young people, but you two have taught me a lesson. ”

Seeing that Cao Yongguo was very modest, Shi Dexian smiled humbly: "Uncle Cao's words are serious, Xia Xiang and I are juniors, where do we dare to teach you a lesson." ”

Only those who are humble can achieve greatness.

"Confucius also recognized a seven-year-old child as a teacher, a person, admitting his own shortcomings, there is nothing, threesome, there must be my teacher." Cao Yongguo smiled and asked, "Isn't there a sentence that says that each other is born from the heart, how do I think that the faces of Liu Baojia and Shang Jianchao are not vicious?" ”

Shi Dewei groaned and answered Cao Yongguo's question: "There is a heart without a phase, and there is a heart for each other; The meaning of this phrase is that a person's appearance will change according to the good and evil of his mind. Even though he now has a vicious face, if he is always compassionate and has a good heart, good words and good deeds, then the evil face will soon be transformed into an auspicious face. On the other hand, even if he is now full of good deeds, if he does not know how to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, often has thoughts of love and hatred, and speaks evil in his heart and does evil deeds, then the blessings will gradually disappear. Therefore, the heart is the determining factor of physiognomy, and it is better to look at the face than the heart. If the heart changes, then the person's face, wisdom and fortune will also change. ”

"But the change in physiognomy is not a significant change in the goodness of the heart today and the goodness of the face tomorrow, but a slow change like a drop of water piercing a stone, and in a little by little, the physiognomy slowly changes."

"Well, I see." Cao Yongguo nodded, as if he had figured it out, smiled slightly, and changed the topic, "Shi De, Bitian Group wants to take over the mess of Zhuo's Group, I have no objection in principle, but if Bitian Group wants to take over smoothly, there are still two problems to overcome." ”
