Chen Dalong sighed at the phone and said to Xiaoice:

"Xiaoice, I told you the last time we met, the state has national laws and family rules, since your father has committed a crime, naturally there are relevant laws to punish him, although I have a little power in my hands, but I can't hinder the justice of the law?"

"I didn't say that I want you to obstruct the justice of the law, I just want you to do what you can to help my father, maybe you can help him reduce his sentence? Maybe you can find a way to get him out on medical parole? He did so many stupid things for me, and you came to me for everything, why did you hurt my father? ”

On the other end of the phone, Xiaoice seemed to be emotional and cried into tears.

Chen Dalong was speechless.

Many things in this world are something that a simple-minded girl like Xiaoice can't really understand even if she wants to break her head, and some people are destined to meet in this life, even if they plan it, they can't escape the arrangement of the hand of fate.

Since he decided to cut off relations with Xiaoice, Chen Dalong has already let go of this evil relationship in his heart, whether it is a woman's heart to hate herself, love, everything has long been passed by the wind for him.

The phone ringing in her ear quickly "Dididi" cut off the last thought in Xiaoice's heart, and she was surprised that the man actually hung up her phone without saying a word?

After this phone call, a thought in Xiaoice's heart gradually became firm, "Since Chen Dalong was ruthless to himself first, he can't blame himself for being unrighteous to him!" ”

That night, Chen Dalong, who was in a bad mood after answering Xiaoice's call, drove to Pushui County alone, he parked the car downstairs, and went straight into the boudoir upstairs of Zhao Yanan Hotel, sitting in it silently drinking tea and smoking a cigarette.

In such an era, how difficult is it to be a clean official and do something for the people? When the chain of interests is stuck in the neck of officials, how many people can really stand up straight and not give in to the status quo?

Almost all the young leading cadres who cherish the ambition of serving the country know in their hearts that the most important reason why corrupt officials in contemporary society are like weeds that have been wiped out and reborn: the cost of corruption is low and the profit is large!

(People's Daily, author Xiao Liangliang) reported: "During the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a very conservative document read by the deputies showed that more than 61,000 cadres had fled abroad in the past 15 years. ”

According to the investigation of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Research Office of the State Council, the Central Bank and other institutions, the intercepted corrupt officials are not counted, and the successful escape of public officials alone embezzled and carried out more than 1 trillion yuan of funds.

By the end of 2003, preliminary statistics showed that there were 1.2 million family members of corrupt officials residing abroad or in foreign countries, of whom 162,000 were residing in Hong Kong and Macao, and 800,000 were residing in Europe and the United States.

All in all, this gang of thieves and traitors has looted and fled the people, and the public capital of the state has far exceeded the total foreign investment of about 800 billion US dollars in the past 30 years.

Taking advantage of his position to embezzle huge amounts of state property in exchange for a lifetime of opportunities to live abroad at ease, how many people can stick to the party spirit and stand unwavering in the face of huge profits?

Many people believe that another important reason for the prevalence of corruption is a problem of concept: some leading cadres actually agree with the view of Zhang Juzheng, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, on how to deal with the problem of official corruption.

Those who have read the book "Zhang Juzheng" in the Ming Dynasty novel wrote that Zhang Juzheng's evaluation of Hai Jui was deeply impressed.

At the beginning of Zhang Juzheng's reform, some people recommended Hai Rui to make a comeback, on the grounds that "Lord Hai Gangfeng is honest and fair, and he is very popular with the people."

Zhang asked him rhetorically: "Where Hai Jui went, the landlords scattered and fled, resulting in a large amount of idle land, tight national taxes, officials at all levels were silent, centrifugal to their backs, the people clapped their hands and applauded, but a large area of fertile land was barren, and the implementation of government affairs was not smooth. ”

In the early days of reform and opening up a few years ago, the concept of "looking at money in everything" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so many leading cadres did not say anything, but in fact they silently agreed with Prime Minister Zhang's attitude in dealing with the problem of corruption.

What a small number of leading cadres did not expect was that "the most terrible thing in this world is not the night, because in the dark night you can hope for the dawn." The most terrible thing is that the day is occupied by the night, because what is coming, is the real night! ”

Once the common people lose confidence in the good wishes of the government and the people from the bottom of their hearts, the fate of the entire country can be imagined.

It is undeniable that although Vice Mayor Chen Dalong is not very old among the leading cadres at the same level, he has already explored many rules of the game in officialdom in the ups and downs of stumbling again and again.

He knows best in his heart that "rare confusion" is not his career vision, and it is his wish to do more good things for the people and the people with all his life.

Seeing that other officials were eating and drinking freely every day, he was working hard; When other officials ran for official positions to take bribes, he was still immersed in work.

Even so, there were people who couldn't tolerate him, and Zhao Wang Dao and his ilk only stared at the little things on their bodies, eager to put themselves to death, and tried their best to protect themselves, but Xiaoice was entangled.

It is difficult to be a man, it is even more difficult to be a good person, and it is even more difficult to be a good person and a good official with a conscience!

When Zhao Yanan pushed the door into the house, he almost didn't hold his breath.

The choking smell of smoke in the room made her cough non-stop, and there was no light in the room, and by the faint light of the corridor, she saw a familiar figure standing in front of the string of windows and smoking.

"Stop smoking! There was a fire in the house. ”

Zhao Yanan hurriedly turned on the light, the room suddenly became bright, and then opened a few windows in the room to ventilate, made a cup of delicious coffee for the man and put it in his hand, stood aside and asked softly:

"Why did you come here tonight without knowing it? Don't tell me in advance, have you eaten dinner? I'll call downstairs and bring it to you? ”

The woman's series of questions revealed a strong taste of concern, and this long-lost feeling of being cared for made Chen Dalong's heart sour, and he couldn't say what the taste came to his heart.

Seeing that Chen Dalong was silent, the woman thought that he had agreed to her suggestion just now, and took out her mobile phone to call the manager in charge of the hotel's catering department downstairs, but Chen Dalong stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Don't be busy, talk to me." Chen Dalong whispered.

Zhao Yanan saw that the man was in a low mood today, and smiled at him:

"What? Having a problem at work? ”

Chen Dalong shook his head.

Zhao Yanan's tone of voice revealed a little relaxed:

"Since everything is going well at work, what else can worry about your Tyrannosaurus rex?"

Zhao Yanan's words made Chen Dalong feel like he had found a soulmate, but he didn't expect that Zhao Yanan, who had always been immersed in business all day long, had already seen through his inner essence?

He smiled at Zhao Yanan and said:

"You know me?"

"Of course," Zhao Yanan took the opportunity to boast to himself, "I don't know how many people come and go when I open a hotel for a day, if I don't have the ability to look at people at all, how else can I do business?" ”

Chen Dalong was amused by Zhao Yanan's words, gave her a thumbs up to express his appreciation, and put the coffee in his hand to his lips and tasted it.

"Is it bitter?"

Zhao Yanan frowned slightly when he saw the man drinking coffee, and asked.

"You soaked it with your own hands, even if it's bitter, I like to drink it." Chen Dalong, who was in a slightly better mood, joked with Zhao Yanan.

Seeing that the man finally showed a smile on his face, Zhao Yanan boldly asked him:

"Is there anything in mind? Or, what difficulties have you encountered? ”

Chen Dalong had nothing to hide in front of Zhao Yanan, and told Zhao Yanan about Xiaoice's call to ask him for help in the afternoon, and after speaking, he said with sorrow:

"I'm afraid that from now on, Xiaoice's heart will hate me."

"You're just in a bad mood about this?" Zhao Yanan asked a little strangely.

Chen Dalong honestly admitted:

"Yes."

"Giggles"

Zhao Yanan suddenly bent over and covered his mouth and laughed, as if he had suddenly heard an extremely funny joke, and the whole person was smiling backwards and backwards.

Chen Dalong saw her smiling like this alone, and asked her with a strange expression:

"What are you laughing at? Xiaoice just called me, as for making you laugh like this? ”

Zhao Yanan waved his hand at him, finally controlled his laughter, and explained to him out of breath:

"I-I'm not laughing-laughing Xiaoice called you."

"And what are you laughing at?" Chen Dalong asked.

"I'm laughing at you, I've known you for so long, I never thought you were such a loving person? Xiaoice's father has given you three times and twice, but you will still be sad for Xiaoice's call? This shows that you have real feelings for Xiaoice. ”

When Chen Dalong heard this, he couldn't help but sigh again:

"One night husband and wife Bairien, although I was forced by the situation to be with Xiaoice at the beginning, but she is young after all, in the end, after all, I am a few years older than her, in short, I am sorry for her."

Chen Dalong's last word "she" hadn't been said yet, but his mouth was blocked by Zhao Yanan's raised hand, and the woman's eyes looked at him with affection, and there was more distress in those eyes than love.

"You are so busy with work every day, let Xiaoice's affairs let her pass, don't let these miscellaneous things make you bother, if you are tired of a good evil, I will feel distressed."

Looking at Zhao Yanan looking at him with infatuated eyes, Chen Dalong suddenly felt a little weak, he couldn't wait to explain something, but was stopped by Zhao Yanan.

"I know what you're going to say, but tonight, listen to me first."

Seeing that the man was obedient and closed his mouth, Zhao Yanan smiled at the man with satisfaction, and said:

"You also know, I am a businessman, and I am a successful businessman in the local area, since I met you, Yu Dandan's hotel has been operated into my hands and my assets have increased greatly, I am very grateful to you, and I am glad that I can tie up such a big tree as you."
