At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhou Jiqing was holding a high-end and high-grade Yixing purple sand liner magnetized teacup, Shi Shiran walked into Secretary Lu's office, and said hello to Secretary Lu who was sitting on the chair behind the desk very casually.

Under normal circumstances, if a member of the Standing Committee comes to his office to talk or report work, Secretary Lu will come out from behind the desk to greet him, and when the two sides talk or listen to each other's reports, Secretary Lu will generally sit on the sofa with him to show respect for these team members.

However, after Zhou Jiqing came to the office today, Secretary Lu sat still behind the desk, and did not stand up to shake hands with Zhou Jiqing, and when Zhou Jiqing greeted him, he did not have a smile on his face, but kept a stern face, and only said "um" from his nose, which was regarded as a response to Zhou Jiqing's greeting.

Then, he didn't look at Zhou Jiqing's somewhat unhappy and dissatisfied face, pointed to the chair opposite the desk, and said in a very cold tone: "Comrade Jiqing, please take a seat." ”

Zhou Jiqing also came here to find Secretary Lu a few times, and every time Secretary Lu would stand up and shake hands with him, and invite himself to sit on the sofa, but today, Secretary Lu was unusual, not only did not come out from behind the desk to shake hands with him, but also let himself sit on the chair opposite him, which made him feel a surge of anger in his heart, because he knew that the chair opposite Secretary Lu's desk was placed under the steps in front of the senior desk, and the person sitting on this chair, even if you were tall, can only look up at Secretary Lu opposite, and Secretary Lu sits on his own chair, which will give the person opposite a sense of coercion.

Therefore, the people who sit on this chair and talk to Secretary Lu are generally the heads of some provincial departments, the heads of cities and prefectures, or some officials with much lower positions than him, if they are leaders of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary Lu will invite them to sit on the sofa, and he will come out from behind the table and accompany them to sit on the sofa; If it were other deputy provincial leaders, Secretary Lu would not let them sit on the chair opposite him, but would invite them to sit on the chair next to the coffee table, and he himself would sit down opposite the coffee table and talk to each other face to face......

But now, as a dignified member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, he was arranged by him to sit in this seat that could only look up to him, and he was ranked with those department-level officials.

Therefore, after Secretary Lu said the word "please sit", Zhou Jiqing coldly squinted at the chair that was one step lower, stalked his neck, and said in a tough tone: "Secretary Lu, I will stand here and listen to your instructions, if you have anything to say, just say it, I will listen to it." ”

Secretary Lu didn't have much reaction to Zhou Jiqing's rude words, but just stared coldly at the purple sand teacup he was holding in his hand, and said in a mocking tone: "Comrade Jiqing, your teacup is good, such a good cup, do you hold it in your hand all the time, otherwise, you are just worried that when you come to my office, there will be no cup of tea for you to drink, however, my opinion is: Before our conversation begins, please put the teacup down, if you want to add water, I can ask Xiao Xu to come over and refill the water for you. ”

Secretary Lu's sentence is meaningful: under normal circumstances, no matter who comes to Secretary Lu's office, in order to show his respect for Secretary Lu, he will not bring his own teacup, but after going to the secretary's office, Secretary Lu's secretary will use a xìng paper cup to make tea, which is also a commonly known habit: only when the superior visits the subordinate, can he bring his own teacup; The subordinate goes to visit the superior, and if he also carries a teacup, it seems that he doesn't take the superior seriously.

And Zhou Jiqing brought his own teacup over today, just to challenge Secretary Lu's authority again, to show that he is not so respectful of him now, of course, Secretary Lu knows this, so he will use that mocking tone to let Zhou Jiqing put down his teacup,

Zhou Jiqing saw that Secretary Lu first picked his thorn, and scolded in his heart "small belly chicken intestines", but he still put the teacup on the coffee table next to him, and then, he raised his head and stared at Secretary Lu with blazing eyes, waiting for him to speak,

When Secretary Lu saw that he still didn't sit on the chair, he no longer forced him, but he didn't talk to him immediately, but picked up a pile of materials on the desk and looked at it very casually, as if there was no one standing in front of him.

Zhou Jiqing waited patiently for a few minutes, and when he saw that Secretary Lu never spoke, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily: "Secretary Lu, what are you looking for me, are you calling me to come over and punish the station, there are a lot of things on my side, the Xinleng 5.16 task force is still waiting to report the situation to me, if there is nothing wrong, I will leave first." ”

As he spoke, he really bent down and was about to get the teacup on the coffee table.

Secretary Lu raised his head at this time, glanced at him coldly, and said: "Comrade Jiqing, don't be impatient, these materials I am reading now have a lot to do with you, so I advise you to sit down opposite first, and let me carefully review these materials before I can talk to you in a targeted manner." ”

When Zhou Jiqing heard Secretary Lu's words, he was suddenly startled, and quickly straightened up, glanced at the materials, and saw that the thick pile of materials held with elastic clips seemed to be some copies, and the words "Special Note for the Dezhou Discipline Inspection Commission" were printed on those papers......

It turns out that this place in Dezhou City has always been Zhou Jiqing's biggest heart problem, because he knows very well: in Dezhou, the place where he started, there is now a huge bomb lurking, and this bomb is his brainless mistress who is reckless, ignorant and fearless, Li Qian,

Since he was transferred from Dezhou to the Provincial Supreme People's Procuratorate, and later promoted to the secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee, many of his old subordinates and cronies in Dezhou who knew his ambiguous relationship with Li Qian often reminded him: Li Qian, a woman, is too exposed and arrogant, not only insatiable and loves money, but also very vain and very fond of showing off. As if she was afraid that others would not know about her special relationship with Secretary Zhou, if she continued like this, something would happen sooner or later, and something would happen......
