The World Health Organization has just announced that it has successfully controlled SARS, and Yu Sihai went to Europe with a delegation to study and investigate. The leader is not at home, Yuan Jinpeng is extremely relaxed, nothing more than surfing the Internet, reading newspapers, and going home as soon as it is time to get off work. Deng Qiong is at home during the summer vacation, and there is nothing to do. In addition to teaching his son Yuan Fang to read a few words, he practiced his cooking skills hard and cooked good dishes.

That afternoon, Yuan Jinpeng was about to pack up his things and go home, when Li Zhongfu came in quietly: "Jinpeng, do you still have the West Lake Longjing?" Pour two glasses, I have something to tell you. With that, he sat down at his desk.

Yuan Jinpeng took out the tea caddy from the cabinet and said with a smile: "Aren't you just red-eyed, I still have a little Longjing here, what serious can you do?" ”

Li Zhongfu smiled slightly, but remained silent until Yuan Jinpeng made tea and sat down, and then said, "Mayor Lin is going to be transferred." ”

Yuan Jinpeng stared at Li Zhongfu's big eyes: "Where to transfer?" ”

Li Zhongfu picked up the teacup and blew open the tea leaves that were slowly stretching: "Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Government, the meeting has been decided." ”

"Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Government? Which opening? The main hall of the secondary hall? Yuan Jinpeng asked a lot of questions.

Li Zhongfu took a sip of hot tea and put down the teacup: "Corresponding to the governor of Shangguan, he will be transferred to the department level." ”

Isn't that the number one secretary of the provincial government?! Yuan Jinpeng felt that this thing was a bit bizarre. Lin Xiaohua is a master's degree in economics, and he has a lot of connections in Beijing. For a while, there was a lot of talk that he had approached the leaders of Beijing and would become mayor. As a result, the mystery was revealed, and the mayor's throne fell to Yu Sihai. Now, he has been coldly transferred to the post of deputy secretary general of the provincial government, which is puzzling. There is no love and hate in the world for no reason, there must be some way.

Yuan Jinpeng asked, "Will he take you there?" "Leaders at this level, as long as they are willing, bring one or two people over is a gesture.

"Well, Mayor Lin asked me to go with him, I want to hear your opinion." Li Zhongfu nodded.

Yuan Jinpeng sighed: "Hi! Good thing, what's the point, go. Isn't it obvious that the bigger the yamen, the easier it is to mix? Don't hesitate at all. ”

Li Zhongfu thought for a while and said slowly: "This time, I can only maintain this section level when I go to the provincial government office. But there was a number of personnel adjustments in the city immediately. Mayor Lin said that if I didn't want to go to the provincial capital, he would come forward to find Secretary Zhang and ask me to be the deputy county magistrate in which county. However, Mayor Lin preferred me to go to the office with him. ”

"As the secretary general of the governor of Shangguan, Mayor Lin is about to become popular. Governor Shangguan will work in our province for five or even ten years. What else do you want, follow Lin Xiaohua closely, don't have too shallow eye sockets. Yuan Jinpeng said, taking a few sips of tea in a row.

Li Zhongfu quipped: "You urged me to go, are you afraid that I will compete with you for the position of deputy director?" Feel relieved! This son is definitely yours, and no one can snatch it. I heard that the municipal organs are about to move. ”

Yuan Jinpeng also smiled: "Hehe! Li Zhongfu, I finally know what it means to live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Either you ask Lin Xiaohua to take me to the provincial government, and you stay behind to boil this deputy director. ”

"It's just a joke, you're serious. To be honest, studying and working have always been in Qingchuan, and my family, friends and classmates are here, so I am a little reluctant. Li Zhongfu said.

Yuan Jinpeng said: "The process of a person's promotion is also a process of constantly adjusting the circle of life. The ancients said that rich are easy to wives, and expensive are easy to make friends. One day when you are in a high position, you can still remember those classmates who teach, and you are a person with affection and righteousness. ”

Li Zhongfu laughed and said, "Jin Peng, you are making fun of me again, as if I, Li Zhongfu, have forgotten those old classmates." Then again, do you really think that we live more chic and real than they do? I've never felt this condescending. Now that I think about it, how simple college life is, I often think of the scene when we drank liquor and ate dog meat in college, and there were not many opportunities for us to eat together in the future. ”

Yuan Jinpeng turned his head to look out the window, the sun was slanting in the west, but the bright sunlight was still dazzling, this scene affected his interest just aroused by Li Zhongfu, and he was a little disappointed. He turned around and said, "It was just the two of us at that time, and we asked for a bottle of liquor, fried a plate of dog meat, and ate and drank. When the wine is hot, snow seeds fall outside the window, and then snowflakes fall. We ate wine and meat, and the snow flew outside. ”

Li Zhongfu nodded frequently: "That kind of scene and that atmosphere are too rare!" ”

"In the past two days, I invite everyone to get together, and it can be regarded as seeing you off." Yuan Jinpeng said.

Li Zhongfu said: "It is estimated that there is no time. The province has opened a standing committee, and it will be down tomorrow, and Mayor Lin will report the day after tomorrow at the latest. I'll go to work first and then go through the formalities. Later, I will go out to eat with Mayor Lin, and Secretary Zhang will invite you to dinner tomorrow night. You can find a time to invite a few people to Longxing to come and see me. ”

Although the officialdom send-off is cliché, the doorway should not be underestimated. Officialdom "excellent stocks" like Lin Xiaohua, people who want to tie up are like carp crossing the river, and it is rare for a few people to win such an opportunity before saying goodbye in a hurry. The main leaders of the municipal party committee and government are in charge, and those who are invited have face, and how to make personal friends fall second. Of course, one or two should be arranged for particularly good personal relationships, otherwise people will discuss at the meeting that this leader has not made any friends for so many years. Li Zhongfu has been socializing with Lin Xiaohua for the past two days, although he is a supporting role, he has a high degree of attention, and everyone understands the truth of both prosperity and loss in officialdom. Then again, if you go downhill, the send-off wine won't have such a good atmosphere. Back then, Wei Dechang was transferred, drinking and drinking, and suddenly a person came from sadness, howling and crying, complaining for Wei Dechang, making everyone at the table have black faces, setting off a tragic atmosphere.

Yuan Jinpeng was sad: "It's so urgent, it's too hurried." ”

Li Zhongfu said helplessly: "When will we be secretaries?!" Su Dongpo said it well, I hate this body for a long time. ”

"I hate this body for a long time, when will I forget the camp. I'm afraid that the same is true if I don't be a secretary, looking at my colleagues, classmates, and friends around me, a few people live comfortably. Teachers have the pressure of teachers, and officials have the pain of officials. Yuan Jinpeng said.

Seeing Li Zhongfu away, Yuan Jinpeng suddenly had a feeling like he was in a dream. There was no rumor or news beforehand. He estimated that Yu Sihai, as the mayor, may not know. It seems that Shangguan Liming acted vigorously and resolutely, with great courage and high efficiency. He felt compelled to send a text message to him. After calculating the time difference, Yu Sihai had just finished lunch at this time, and it was the best time to receive text messages.

Yuan Jinpeng soon received a text message from Yu Sihai: "In my personal name, I will send a souvenir to Deputy Secretary-General Lin, and another to Xiao Li." "I didn't say what to buy, I didn't say what grade, it doesn't matter, I've done it before, it's nothing more than some high-end gifts produced in Qingchuan, such as calligraphy and painting, silk quilts, porcelain bottles, postal albums, etc., according to the specifications of the department-level leaders." In addition, send one to Xiao Li" to explain that the gifts are different, and the specifications should be lowered a little, is it also sent in the name of Yu Sihai? It seems to be in words, but it seems unreasonable, Li Zhongfu is just a department-level cadre. Yu Sihai is the head of the organization department and has a lot of experience in dealing with personal contacts between leaders at different levels. Yuan Jinpeng thought that Li Zhongfu is not what it used to be, behind him is Lin Xiaohua, and behind Lin Xiaohua is Shangguan Liming, and Shangguan Liming may be ******** in a few years. Regarding Li Zhongfu's transfer, Yuan Jinpeng was a little complicated, a little reluctant and a little happy. is really wrestling with the same field, interests are at the forefront, who dares to guarantee that they will not exhaust their means, and who dares to guarantee that they will not turn against each other. Even if neither of them will resort to the next three indiscriminate means, there will always be a loser, at that time, can they still drink and talk as before? Isn't this trend the best at the moment?

The mobile phone on the table rang quickly, interrupting Yuan Jinpeng's thoughts. The caller ID was called by Zhang Mujian, who pressed the answer button suspiciously.

"Secretary Yuan, I'm Zhang Muhibiscus, are you in Qingchuan?" Zhang Mujian's voice was a little high-pitched.

Yuan Jinpeng was not in a hurry or impatient: "Oh, I'm still in the office." ”

"You come to the firefly box in the Norwegian forest, and I'll wait for you to come over and have dinner together." Zhang Mujian seems to be under the notice.

"Oh...... I'll go right away." Yuan Jinpeng hesitated slightly, but quickly agreed. He admits that he doesn't know much about women, and they all say that women have needles in their hearts, and the ghost knows what they are thinking. Therefore, before receiving a very clear signal from a woman, he rarely considers the woman's mind - pondering is also blind, and his efforts are in vain. He and Zhang Mujin have always been a little ambiguous, but it is only ambiguous, he feels that this situation is not necessarily bad, and it may feel better to take a step forward, but it may become very bad. Go with the flow, let it be, and don't have to deliberately change anything.

Hung up the phone, Yuan Jinpeng was still a little confused, the Norwegian forest is a western restaurant diagonally opposite the municipal government compound, and he has been to the firefly box, which is very large, and it is a KTV with a western dining table. Who do you eat with in the evening? Why did you choose a Western restaurant? Did Zhang Mujin pass by Qingchuan or come to a meeting? Yuan Jinpeng thought while walking, and when he was about to arrive at the gate of "Norwegian Forest", he took out his mobile phone and made a call to Deng Qiong, saying that he had a party and would not go home for dinner.
