Thinking like this, Chen Dalong's attitude towards Director Jin was also extremely enthusiastic, and after a while, the two of them already called each other brothers, looking like old acquaintances.

Deputy Director Jin said to Chen Dalong in the tone of an old friend:

"Brother, if you have any use for me, don't be polite to me."

Chen Dalong hurriedly agreed:

"Don't worry, brother, when you go to Pu'an City in the future, you must contact me privately, there are a lot of scenery in our place, and I will accompany you alone when I turn back."

"Don't worry, Pu'an City goes a lot, and now that my brother is there, I naturally have to go more often."

"Huh! Welcome, welcome! ”

After a lively dinner, Chen Dalong went to the residence of his old friend Wang Chang'an.

Chen Dalong thought to himself that in the past year or so, he and Wang Chang'an have developed smoothly on their careers, and there is less and less personal time.

After all, Wang Changan is now in the provincial capital, and some information is still slightly better than himself, and before some major decisions are made, he wants to discuss it with Wang Changan.

At nearly twelve o'clock in the evening, Chen Dalong came to Wang Changan's house, his wife and children had already rested, and only Wang Changan sat quietly in the living room watching TV to pass the time.

After the brothers met and greeted each other, Wang Changan asked:

"Why are you here so late?"

Chen Dalong relaxed his body on the sofa and explained to Wang Changan:

"Tonight, Secretary General Zhu of the provincial government received him warmly in the hotel, and there was another deputy director of the provincial public security department, Jin, who met for the first time, and maybe the requester would be the next person, so I drank a few more glasses."

Wang Changan nodded:

"The biggest advantage of you is that you have a relationship, which is why you can make rapid progress, drink too much, I'll get you some hangover tea?"

"Okay."

Wang Changan turned around to make tea, Chen Dalong sat on the sofa in Wang Changan's living room a little tired, and after a while, Wang Changan came out with hangover tea, Chen Dalong gently put the tea to his lips and blew a few times, and slowly drank a few sips.

After drinking the hangover tea, Chen Dalong asked Wang Changan softly:

"Do you know who is going to our Pu'an City to take over the position of secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection?"

Wang Changan replied:

"It has not yet been finalized, and there are currently two more reliable candidates, one is the director of a room of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the other is the secretary of the county party committee of Dingcheng."

Chen Dalong couldn't help frowning:

"The secretary of the county party committee of Dingcheng? I don't think I've heard of this dark horse before? ”

Wang Changan said:

"Yes, this person has basically set up in the provincial capital for the location recently, and his eyes are staring at this position, and he is trying to work hard."

Chen Dalong asked again:

"If you want to succeed, you are the leader of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and you must be the target of their efforts, your mother, do you think, which of these two has a greater success rate?"

Wang Changan smacked his lips:

"It's hard to say, each has its own strengths, although the secretary of the county party committee in Dingcheng is a woman, but the financial resources are abundant, but the people who help to speak are not enough, and the director of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has a suitable relationship to help speak, but unfortunately the financial resources are insufficient, resulting in the leaders of the people not doing their best to help, such a situation is now premature to conclude that it is a little too early."

"I understand, the final result depends on everyone's activity ability and the boss behind it, whose boss is strong, who is the most promising." Chen Dalong nodded.

Wang Changan looked at Chen Dalong looking a little tired, and couldn't help but persuade:

"Seeing that you seem to be very tired, I said that you should not be too reckless, it is really not possible to come up there, and it is more convenient to drink and chat with me."

Chen Dalong shook his head:

"Alas! There are losses and gains, although the following is complicated, but I always want to really do something practical for the people, so the platform below is very suitable for me, as for the above, those vacant positions are not suitable for me, there are too many procedures, I am not adaptable, and in the end I am likely to be driven down. ”

"I know that you are an ambitious cadre, but the reality of your Chinese officialdom is like this, you must be a person before doing it, and the key to being a person is to follow the right people, talk to and follow politics. Political struggle is the most cruel, no matter how good you are, in front of the political struggle it is useless, outside the ancient and modern, countless. ”

"That being said, however, a grassroots cadre, it is indispensable to be able to come up to do things, as for the relationship, background, opportunities, etc., are all unavoidable, you can come up when you meet it, and if you don't meet it, you may be the material for the director for a lifetime. Despite this, most of the grassroots cadres are still active, and I was born and raised, so I am really not suitable for the top. ”

Chen Dalong understands himself and knows his appearance, and when he reaches it, he is equal to a fish without water.

"I'm saying that it's your personal opinion as to how to decide, but it seems to have been empty since the divorce, so there is no fate until now."

"What? Want to introduce me? Chen Dalong looked at Wang Changan in a joking tone.

Wang Changan glanced at him disdainfully:

"Do you need my introduction? I don't know how many girls are waiting for that guy of yours to come in. But recently, I haven't been able to understand, it's Secretary Tian of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Pu'an City, a person who can still do things, and if something happens, something will happen, and it has only been a few days since he was in the position of secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection? The taste of being a leader has not yet been enjoyable, and it has become the miserable situation it is now, but it is really not worth it. ”

Chen Dalong said indifferently:

"That's because he is stupid, has no background, no backstage, and he doesn't know how many pounds and taels he has when he arrives in Pu'an, and he jumps up and down all day long, can he not have an accident?"

"What you said is not unreasonable, Secretary Tian has no experience at the grassroots level, I don't know that the people below are all monkeys, very cunning, if he has a conflict with people, it is normal to become a target, not to mention that he has no background, there are people in the DPRK and China who are good officials, fools understand, I have only worked in the Commission for Discipline Inspection for a long time, and recently I have successively run several senior cadres, and I really feel some feelings in my heart."

"Okay, don't think too much, it's all someone else's business, which means that these people are not suitable for officialdom and can only be eliminated, and it has nothing to do with your half a dime."

"Life is unpredictable, who knows how God arranges it?"

Listening to Wang Chang'an say this quietly, Chen Dalong couldn't help but feel a little vigilant in his heart.

"What? You don't seem to be as ambitious as before, and even less motivated than before, have you heard something? Or has something already been confirmed? ”

"No, I just want to remind you that sometimes, peace and security are the most important thing, and it's so tiring when you spend all your time on all kinds of entertainment and officialdom battles!"

Chen Dalong couldn't help but take a closer look at Wang Changan, under the bright chandelier in the living room, he could clearly see that the corners of Wang Changan's eyes had revealed a few obvious fine lines? The traces of time have been clearly revealed on Wang Changan's face.

Chatting with old friends is one thing that can really make people feel relaxed, they know each other well, and they have been together all the way through the long years, ups and downs, all kinds of turmoil, everyone faces it together, and the brotherhood that has been tempered together has been experienced together, which is more strong than many feelings.

It is not an easy thing to get a friend who understands each other thoroughly and has always known each other in life, some people, who have lived all their lives, are lonely in their hearts, and no one can let him trust him to say something truthful.

This is fate, and you can't force it.

"I will pay attention to protecting myself, but you can also go down to exercise if you have the opportunity, otherwise, in the position of deputy secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, it seems to be high, and if you don't have experience at the level, it will be very difficult to go to the next level."

"I am also working on this method, last time I talked about my thoughts with the first secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and also reported my situation to the old leader Secretary Cao, they replied that they would wait for the opportunity, to put it bluntly, they were waiting for the reward!"

"Waiting for other people's rewards to be in the Year of the Monkey, I think you should take the initiative, send what should be sent to the place, and feed the people who can decide your future, and don't hum, let alone wait for the opportunity, because they will take the initiative to help you fight for the opportunity."

"It's man-made, and I think there will be a result."

After coming out of Wang Changan's house, it was already midnight, Chen Dalong rushed back to his home in the provincial capital, but he didn't expect his ex-wife Wang Jiayuan to be at his home? may not have expected Chen Dalong to go home in the middle of the night, and Wang Jiayuan, who opened the door in pajamas, had a shocked look on her face when she opened the door.

Chen Dalong was also stunned for a moment in his heart, and reluctantly smiled at her and asked:

"Why are you here?"

Wang Jiayuan immediately played the role of a good wife, and took the initiative to bend down to help Chen Dalong change his slippers, but Chen Dalong pushed him away, hung up his clothes and changed his shoes, and walked straight to the room without looking at her.

Good horses don't eat back grass.

A divorced ex-wife actually went back to live in her own home? What if someone else sees it? Don't you have a woman yourself, just waiting for this one woman? Thinking of Wang Jiayuan's acceptance of bribes after the divorce, which caused him to almost face prison, he didn't want to have too much to do with his ex-wife from the bottom of his heart.

When the parents heard the door of the room, they hurriedly came out of the bedroom, and when the mother saw her son, she asked:

"Have you eaten dinner?"

"Eat."

Chen Dalong replied sullenly, looking at his parents with a few more reproaches in his eyes, isn't it very good that his parents live in the provincial capital and take their grandson to school without worrying about food or clothing? The old couple is in their early sixties and is not very old, so there is no need to ask someone to help, why do they agree to Wang Jiayuan to live at home?

Knowing the son Mo Ruomu.

The mother saw from her son's eyes that he was unhappy, smiled awkwardly at Wang Jiayuan, who was standing behind Chen Dalong, and turned her face to explain to her son:

"Son, you are busy with work all day and are not at home, we don't know anything about the child's learning problems, no, fortunately, Jiayuan comes over every day after work to accompany the child to do homework, the teacher said, the child's recent academic performance has improved significantly."
