Chapter Forty-Six: Night Talk
When he was led into the living room by Aunt Bai, Liu Zhao found that not only Secretary Wen was at home, but Tian Yongjun was also there.
At this moment, Secretary Wen leaned on the sofa with his eyes closed as if he was thinking, his expression was a little serious, while Tian Yongjun was sitting on the side blowing the tea leaves in the cup.
But he didn't see Wen Xiuyi in the living room.
"Uncle Wen is good, Uncle Tian is good." Liu said hello to the two of them very politely.
Secretary Wen opened his eyes and saw that it was Liu Xiang, his face softened a little, and he nodded slightly at him and said, "It's relatively here, sit." β
Secretary Wen straightened his body, rubbed his hands vigorously on his face, and said with a smile: "No, my current age seems to be a little inadequate, and I feel very tired after sitting for a while." β
Liu Zhao walked to the sofa on the other side and said thank you to Aunt Bai who came over with tea.
"Uncle Wen, you should also pay more attention to your body, the body is the capital of the revolution."
Liu said with relative concern, looking very familiar, and then he smiled at Tian Yongjun again.
Tian Yongjun just nodded and did not answer.
"Well, it's okay, I'm still in good health, haha"
Secretary Wen laughed heartily, "But I still envy you young people, who are always energetic and can ride bicycles all over the world." β
Secretary Wen's mood seemed to suddenly improve, and he joked: "From time to time, I can fight with others." β
Liu felt his face hot when he heard this, raised his eyes and glanced at Secretary Wen, and found that his face did not have that serious color, but just laughed at himself like a relative, so he put his heart at ease and said with a smile: "Uncle Wen, you can't blame us, we want to do good deeds." β
Secretary Wen nodded, his smile narrowed slightly, and he said in a slightly lower voice: "Well, I know what happened, and you guys did a good job in this matter, but"
He hesitated for a moment and said, "You discuss it with Xiuyi, this matter is just settled, after all, there is no loss." β
Liu looked up in surprise, he didn't quite understand what Secretary Wen meant, could it be that Zheng Shaoxin had already found Secretary Wen here?
But will he be able to get it?
Seeing Liu Zong's confusion, Secretary Wen leaned his body back on the back of the sofa, and said slowly: "I don't know that Zheng Shaoxin, but I know the person who interceded." β
Liu was relatively abrupt, and Wen Xiuyi's identity was still known to the other party.
It's not surprising that Hua Zun is so small, and it is easy to investigate a person's details.
Secretary Wen closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, and then said: "So you help me persuade Xiuyi, she is a child with a stubborn temper, so there is no need to be unforgiving."
Before she finished speaking, Wen Xiuyi's door was opened, and Wen Xiuyi, who was wearing home clothes, walked out, her eyes were a little red, it seemed that she had just cried, she walked to the coffee table and said: "Secretary Wen, you are a bureaucrat, you have to think about yourself and the impact of everything first, have you ever considered others?" β
Wen Xiuyi's tone was more impulsive, and regardless of Secretary Wen's reaction, she turned around and walked back to the bedroom, and closed the door with a bang.
Obviously, the soundproofing of the bedroom is not very good, and Wen Xiuyi heard the conversation between the two from inside.
Secretary Wen smiled at the two of them helplessly, he was not angry, but his smile was a little bitter.
And Liu and Tian Yongjun looked a little embarrassed, after all, they were outsiders, and it didn't seem appropriate to say anything.
"Let's go to the study and sit down."
Secretary Wen got up and said to Liu Xiang, and then said to Tian Yongjun: "Yongjun, you drink tea first, and I will talk to you about some things alone." β
Tian Yongjun owes himself
The study is not big, the layout is also very simple, a big bookshelf occupies a small half of the room, the writing desk is also very small, placed in the position of the window, the desktop is pressed with a whole piece of transparent glass, some documents are neatly stacked in one corner of the table, the other corner is placed in a small photo frame, leaning against the corner of the entrance wall is an old tall wardrobe, locked.
Secretary Wen sat down on the thin wooden chair behind the desk, and motioned for Liu to sit opposite.
The house was a little stuffy in the summer, but Secretary Wen seemed to be very accustomed to this temperature, and the window was not opened.
He looked out the window at the growing green vines in the small courtyard and spoke.
"I know the cause and process of today's conflict, you and Xiuyi are doing a good job, I am very pleased."
Secretary Wen's tone was very soft, affirming the actions of the two during the day, but Liu knew that he must have something to say later, and it was impossible for him to come in alone just to praise himself for a few words.
"However, this afternoon, Guo Geng came to intercede with me, which was not a big deal, I hope you don't care about it anymore."
Secretary Wen turned his head and looked at Liu Zheng with a deep gaze.
At this time, Liu Zheng looked confused, he didn't know who Guo Geng was.
Seeing Liu Zheng's doubts, Secretary Wen explained: "Guo Geng is Mayor Guo's nephew. β
"Guo Pingong, executive vice mayor of the municipal government." Secretary Wen sighed, closed his eyes and was silent for a while.
"Gengxin Commerce and Trade was opened by Guo Geng, I heard that the business is very prosperous in the past two years, and I have earned a lot, and many benefits of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government for the New Year are provided by Gengxin Commerce."
"Therefore, whether it is the municipal party committee or the government, many people have a good impression of him."
Secretary Wen explained Guo Geng's identity, but he still felt that it was difficult for Liu to understand such an explanation, so he continued: "The key is that Mayor Guo takes care of this nephew very much, dotes on him, and often mentions him on some private occasions. β
Ryu nodded in understanding.
"This time, Mayor Hua's term of office has come to an end, and Mayor Guo's voice is very high, and he is the strongest successor to the next mayor."
Secretary Wen finally turned the topic to the direction of the structural adjustment of the municipal government, he felt that it would be better to spread out some words, after all, his daughter would not listen to these things from herself, and the person she trusted more now was the boy in front of her.
"This afternoon, Mayor Guo specially led Guo Geng to my office, and Guo Geng, a young man, was also very cheerful, apologized for Zheng Shaoxin, and was willing to make monetary compensation to you."
Liu Zhi's heart suddenly shook, can the relationship between Guo Geng and Zheng Shaoxin be so good?
"I didn't agree to compensation, but I promised that he would advise you."
Secretary Wen shook his head helplessly and said, "I have to give this face." β
Liu Zhao remembered the attitude of Director Jiang that his father had mentioned to him after the meal.
He suddenly felt that there was an extra net in front of him, and the dense strings and buckles were covering him, making his breath short, and he was a little out of breath.
"After coming back in the evening, Xiuyi mentioned her thoughts to me, and I could see that there were two things she cared about today."
Secretary Wen ignored Liu's reaction and continued to speak.
"One: You were wronged because of her forcible appearance, and she felt sorry for it; Two: She felt very sorry for the mute beggar and felt that he was very pitiful. β
Secretary Wen smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said: "Relatively, there are no outsiders here, I will say it directly, in my eyes, you are no different from Xiuyi, you are my juniors, you have been hurt, as a parent, you want to get the field back, so that you will not be wronged." β
"But," Secretary Wen smiled bitterly, "My identity determines that I can't be entangled to the end like other parents, and even be more generous than others and know how to let go." β
Secretary Wen looked into Liu's eyes and asked, "Can you understand?" β
Ryu nodded.
"Purely from the point of view of the fight, it is a trivial matter, it does not involve such a wide range of aspects, Guo Geng's posture is also very low, as your parent, I must show generosity."
"Regarding the problem of you helping beggars, it is complicated to say that this is complicated, and it is very simple to say that it is simple, and it is okay for public opinion to praise you from the front, but it can also discredit you from the negative."
Hearing Secretary Wen's words, Liu was relatively confused, he really hadn't thought about this kind of proposal.
Secretary Wen had a straight face and said solemnly: "Can you sort out the relationship between the beggar and the beater?" Even if you can sort it out, can you sort out the relationship between the beater and Zheng Shaoxin? β
Secretary Wen shook his head, "You can't, there are eleven thousand excuses, and you can't verify them." β
Ryu was relatively deflated, yes, he couldn't.
"Also, you and Xiuyi have appeared in the public eye, and people with a heart will definitely be able to find out the relationship between Xiuyi and me, and even know the relationship between Xiuyi and you."
"In the eyes of most people, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee is a high-ranking figure, and his family may be fighting over an inconspicuous beggar? The answer is obvious. β
Secretary Wen did not pause and continued.
"So what do you want to do because a beggar got into an argument with someone else and even moved your hands because of a beggar? Is it accidental? β
Secretary Wen shook his head, "It's the time for the mayor to change office, and my daughter is showing up to win the public's attention and flaunt her kindness and fraternity, what will those who have other scheming thoughts think?" β
"Don't forget, I'm also one of the potential candidates for mayor."
Secretary Wen didn't say anything deeper, he looked at Liu Zhi and stopped talking.
Some meanings, point to point, as for whether you can understand it, Secretary Wen actually doesn't mind.
But Liu Relative understood it completely.
It's easy to think for yourself.
At the critical moment of the election, before the final appointment, it can be said that Secretary Wen and Mayor Guo have the opportunity to become the top of the municipal government, and Liu and Wen Xiuyi implicated Zheng Shaoxin, Zheng Shaoxin happened to be behind Guo Geng, and Guo Geng is Guo Pingong's nephew.
The key is that Guo Geng even came forward and was recommended by Mayor Guo.
A simple brawl has become a bit complicated, involving politics and public opinion.
Three people become tigers, and public opinion can kill.
Everyone lives in the world, and it is impossible to have friends without enemies, especially those who are in a high position.
The simple fight incident, after Mayor Guo led Guo Geng to come forward, can be extended to the political level by people with ulterior motives.
Liu was relatively silent, he lowered his head, and his mood was a little low.
Secretary Wen spoke at this time, "I know Xiuyi, this child, she is very kind and stubborn, so I want to ask you to persuade her and make her understand that there are many tragic things in this world, and we can only do our best, and we have no ability to help the world." β
Secretary Wen suddenly looked a little lonely, and he said in a low voice: "No one can do it arbitrarily, she is still young and a little naΓ―ve." β
The wind was blowing outside the window, and the sound of slapping the window was particularly clear after Secretary Wen's voice fell.
