"Pony, it's not me saying you, you have to restrain your temperament, if you go on a blind date that day, you put up with the woman, and you won't be beaten." Wu Qinghe kindly persuaded.

Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Brother Ang is right, I will restrain my temperament in the future and try not to make trouble again." ”

After chatting a few words, Ma Xiaoyao got up and left the office.

Out of the office, Ma Xiaoyao handed out a few envelopes containing money to Kong Liang, Qin Yong and others, and explained that this was a bonus from the bureau.

Kong Liang, Qin Yong and others were certainly very happy, and the other staff were also very envious.

"Deputy Section Chief Ma, I'll have a treat in the evening, let's get together." Kong Liang said with a smile.

"I'm just injured, I can't drink alcohol for the time being, so you should go by yourself." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "Be careful, don't play too late at night, you have to go to work the next day." After a few words, Ma Xiaoyao returned to his seat and began to deal with the backlog of essays these days.

"Jingle Bell ......" The phone on the desk rang suddenly.

Ma Xiaoyao picked up the microphone casually: "Hey? ”

"Come to my office now, I've got something important to tell you." The voice of Director Ding Dawei came from the microphone.

"Oh, okay, I'll be right over." Ma Xiaoyao put down the microphone, stood up and walked out of the food safety department, and after a while, Ma Xiaoyao came to the director's office.

"Pony, come, sit." Ding Dawei greeted warmly.

Ma Xiaoyao pulled out a chair and sat at the desk, and asked suspiciously, "Director Ding, what are you looking for me?" ”

"When people are old, their memory is not good, and I actually forgot an important thing to tell you." Ding Dawei sighed.

Ma Xiaoyao blinked: "What's the matter?" ”

"That's right, a few days ago, Mayor Lin called and said that he wanted to see you, so I sued Mayor Lin, saying that you were injured and hospitalized and couldn't come to work for the time being, so Mayor Lin told me that when you came to work, I would definitely let you go to see him." Ding Dawei said.

Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "Why did Mayor Lin see me?" ”

Ding Dawei shook his head and urged: "Mayor Lin didn't say, Xiaoma, you hurry up and pack up and go to see Mayor Lin, so many days have passed, it is estimated that Mayor Lin will be in a hurry." ”

"Hey, I'll go right away." Ma Yao nodded, stood up and was about to leave.

"Pony." Ding Dawei shouted.

Ma Xiaoyao stopped and looked at Ding Dawei suspiciously: "Director Ding, is there anything else?" ”

Ding Dawei pondered for a moment: "Pony, be polite when talking to Mayor Lin, don't make trouble, remember?" ”

"I understand, Director Ding, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." Ma Xiaoyao nodded, turned around and walked out of the office.

……

Municipal government.

16 floors.

In the spacious office, Lin Haixiang leaned on the office chair, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was secretly thinking about things.

"Mayor Lin." Secret art Bai Tao walked in: "There is a man named Ma Xiaoyao outside who wants to see you?" He said you asked him to come? ”

"The horse is here?" Lin Haixiang raised his eyebrows: "Hurry up and let him in." ”

"Yes." Bai Tao answered, turned around and left, and after a while, Bai Tao led the horse into the office.

Ma Xiaoyao walked a few steps to the desk, and greeted Lin Haixiang in a respectful tone: "Hello Mayor Lin." "Ma Xiaoyao has seen Lin Haixiang on the TV news, so he knows Lin Haixiang.

Lin Haixiang glanced at Ma Xiaoyao up and down: "You are Ma Xiaoyao?" ”

"Yes, I'm Ma Xiaoyao." Ma Xiaoyao nodded hurriedly.

"Sit down, Bai Tao, pour a cup of tea for Comrade Ma Xiaoyao." Lin Haixiang commanded.

Ma walked over and sat on the chair, his waist straight, and his expression was very strict.

At this time, Bai Tao came over and put a cup of steaming tea on the table in front of Ma Xiaoyao.

"Alright, there's nothing for you to do here, you can go out first." Lin Haixiang waved his hand to Bai Tao.

Bai Tao nodded, turned around and left the office.

As soon as Bai Tao left, Ma Xiaoyao's heart became even more nervous, and his nerves tensed.

"Don't be nervous, relax." Lin Haixiang said with a smile: "Comrade Ma Xiaoyao, I heard that you have just entered the Health Bureau to work? ”

"Yes, just worked for more than three months." Ma Yao nodded.

"After only three months of work in the Health Bureau, I became the deputy section chief, and this kind of promotion speed is simply unprecedented." Lin Haixiang said in a flat tone.

Ma Xiaoyao was taken aback, thinking that Lin Haixiang had an opinion on his promotion speed, and hurriedly explained: "That...... Mayor Lin, I can be the deputy section chief, all because the bureau leaders appreciate and promote me exceptionally, I ......"

Lin Haixiang waved his hand: "You don't have to be nervous, I don't mean anything else, I have already asked, although you have not been in the Health Bureau for a long time, but you have made many extraordinary achievements, the leaders of the Health Bureau have promoted you to be the deputy section chief, for this matter, I agree very much." ”

After listening to Lin Haixiang's words, Ma Xiaoyao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Haixiang and Ma Xiaoyao talked a lot, in addition to asking about things at work, he also told Ma Xiaoyao a lot of experience as an official, so that Ma Xiaoyao instantly understood a lot of things.

After chatting for more than an hour, Lin Haixiang let Ma leave freely.

After Ma Xiaoyao left, Lin Haixiang nodded slightly: "The person recommended by Wang Aiqin is really good, this Ma Xiaoyao is a seedling worth cultivating...... It's a pity that I'm about to retire, otherwise I can really cultivate and cultivate him well. ”

The reason why Lin Haixiang talked to Ma Xiaoyao was entirely because of Wang Aiqin, Lin Haixiang knew Wang Aiqin very well, under normal circumstances, Wang Aiqin rarely praised a person, especially it is difficult to praise an official, but now Wang Aiqin is so appreciative of Ma Xiaoyao of a health bureau, which suddenly made Lin Haixiang have great curiosity and interest, just like that, Lin Haixiang found Ma Xiaoyao to talk, after some conversation, Ma Xiaoyao's overall impression of Lin Haixiang is not bad, you must know that Lin Haixiang has been in officialdom for decades, What kind of talent has not been seen? It is indeed not easy for Ma Xiaoyao to be appreciated by Lin Haixiang.

……

On the way back to the Health Bureau, Ma Xiaoyao kept recalling what Lin Haixiang had said to him, Lin Haixiang is worthy of being in the officialdom for decades, and the accumulated experience is really not covered, Lin Haixiang said, as long as you do one thing, then you can be invincible in the officialdom, what is the matter? It is to gain the absolute trust of the people, that is, to win the hearts of the people, there is a saying that is not good, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, as long as Ma Xiaoyao can get the strong support and trust of the people, then his position in the officialdom can not be shaken, of course, the premise is that Ma Xiaoyao can not do things that violate laws and disciplines.

Anyone can say the words "win the hearts of the people", but it is extremely difficult to really sit up.

Day by day, Ma Xiaoyao has been completely integrated into the hodgepodge of officialdom, every day in addition to serious and responsible work, is to talk to the staff of the food safety department, Ma Xiaoyao knows a truth, people are afraid of you, not your ability, let people completely obey you, that is the real ability.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The weather is starting to get cooler, and the half-sleeves, shorts, and sandals are all gone, replaced by long sleeves, long pants, and airtight shoes.

This afternoon.

Ma Yao sat on the chair, staring at the fallen leaves on the ground outside the window in a daze, as if he had something on his mind.

Just then, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

Ma Xiaoyao came back to his senses and reached out to grab the microphone: "Hey? ”

"Deputy Section Chief Ma? I'm the doorman Lao Liu. A man's voice came from the microphone.

"Oh, Lao Liu, is there something wrong?" Ma Xiaoyao asked, the doorman Lao Liu is a sixty-year-old man, very talkative, usually when Ma Xiaoyao comes to work, he will say hello and chat with Lao Liu, and the relationship between the two is not bad.

"Deputy Section Chief Ma, someone outside is looking for you, saying that they are your friend." Lao Liu said.

Ma was stunned: "My friend? Who is it? ”

"The other party doesn't say her name, she just says it's your friend, oh, she's a woman, she's beautiful." Lao Liu said with a smile.

"Women?" Ma Xiaoyao was even more confused: "Okay, go out immediately, you ask her to wait a while." Ma Xiaoyao hung up the phone, stood up and left the food safety department.

When Ma Xiaoyao came to the gate and saw the woman looking for him, he was stunned, it was actually Wang Aiqin, the general manager of Tianhai Company.

"Deputy Section Chief Ma, you were surprised to see me, right?" Wang Aiqin said with a smile.

Ma Xiaoyao came back to his senses: "It's quite unexpected, Mr. Wang, do you have something to do with me?" ”

"Do you have to be something? Can't I look for you if I'm fine? Mr. Wang said dissatisfied.

"Ah...... No, that's not what I meant......" Ma Xiaoyao hurriedly waved his hand.

Seeing Ma Xiaoyao's flustered appearance, Wang Aiqin suddenly smiled: "I'm here to talk about business in the city, by the way, I'll come to see you, Deputy Section Chief Ma, are you free at night?" I want to treat you to dinner. ”

"Eat?" Ma Xiaoyao's face showed a hint of hesitation: "This ......"

"Deputy Section Chief Ma, you won't refuse, right? I really want to treat you to dinner. Wang Aiqin said.

"No, no, I'm not going to refuse......" Ma Xiaoyao shook his head.

"That's a promise, okay, I'll pick you up when you get off work, and I won't disturb your work now, see you in the evening." After speaking, Wang Aiqin drove in a Mercedes-Benz car.

Ma shook his head helplessly, turned around and was about to go back to work.

At this time, the doorman Lao Liu jumped over from the side and looked at Ma Xiaoyao with a smile: "Deputy Section Chief Ma, that one just now...... Is it your girlfriend? ”

"What kind of girlfriend, Lao Liu, don't talk nonsense, I'm just friends with others, ordinary friends can't be ordinary anymore!" Ma said with a straight face.

"Hey...... Deputy Section Chief Ma, don't fool me, I'm a person from here, and I can see at a glance that your relationship with that woman is not ordinary! Lao Liu said with a smile: "Deputy Section Chief Ma, you just tell the truth, my Lao Liu has a strict mouth, and I will never leak secrets to you." ”
