In the past four years, whether it is the central government or the local government, the rural policy has remained unchanged, making Li Zhiqiang realize that it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to solve the system problem on his own.

Thinking about the experience of the secretary of the Hubei Provincial Township Party Committee who wrote directly to the premier three years ago with blood and tears, saying that "the peasants are really bitter, the rural areas are really poor, and agriculture is really dangerous." He who has served as deputy director of the Provincial Department of Agriculture for nearly four years and is preparing to retreat to the second line as a deputy department-level researcher, will sigh and sigh. After all, with what he did, it was a blessing in misfortune to have this ending.

Tian Wenjian, the initiator, left in a hurry, and didn't even say hello to everyone. Except for making a few phone calls during the New Year's holidays, it can be said that there is no news.

I thought that the two people who had been admitted to Harvard University and the University of Massachusetts would never come back, but I didn't expect to suddenly receive a phone call from Ren Ran, the current secretary of the Taitung Municipal Party Committee, who was the director of the Longjiang Economic and Technological Development Zone Management Committee last night, saying that Tian Wenjian not only obtained a doctorate in philosophy from Harvard University, but also gave up his position as a senior researcher at the Institute of East Asian Studies at Harvard University and resolutely returned to China.

A job at a top university in the world, a coveted green card for others, and an annual salary of more than $90,000...... If you give up, you give up, I really don't know what that kid thinks? In this regard, Li Zhiqiang is puzzled.

But in any case, since you know that he is back, you can't help but pick him up. No, Li Zhiqiang, who had nothing to do, changed into the suit he wore when he attended the meeting early, rushed to the door of the communication room of the Department of Agriculture, and looked forward to Ren Ran, who was holding a meeting of the provincial party committee, to come and pick him up.

"Director Li, why are you standing here?"

As soon as he lit a cigarette, a black Audi car stopped in front of the door, and Li Guiqing, deputy director of the Standing Committee, poked his head out of the car window with an incredible expression.

The person in front of him is the number two person in the hall, not only very young, but also very good at getting things done, and is very appreciated by Vice Governor Wang, who is in charge of agriculture. Pingyu is flying and domineering, and he doesn't even pay attention to the head of the hall.

Fortunately, Li Zhiqiang, the deputy director at the bottom of the ranking, has no quarrel with the world, and he is recognized as a good gentleman from top to bottom, so he was not crushed to death by the one in front of him like other deputy directors.

"Isn't that about taking a back seat? Enter the next role first, wander around outside if you have nothing to do, and don't know what you should do when the time comes. ”

Li Zhiqiang didn't want to make a fuss, let alone publicize his relationship with Ren Ran, a rookie in the political arena of J Province, so he handed over a cigarette and joked with a smile. Li Guijiao, who has a large amount of special funds in his hand and is as busy as the prime minister, actually pushed the car door for the first time, and patted Li Zhiqiang's arm while motioning for the secretary to go in first, and pretended to be serious and said:

"Director Li, an old comrade like you, but the precious wealth of our Department of Agriculture, you can't be arrogant. Besides, you are taking a back seat, and you are not retiring, and there are still many jobs waiting for you. ”

"Director Li, don't make me happy. As a cadre trained by the party for many years, I have this awareness. Please rest assured, no matter when, no matter what happens, I, Li Zhiqiang, will never delay the hall and will never cause trouble to Director Han and you. ”

There is nothing in office, and the official hat is pinched in his hand. It's just that those old immortal guys are too difficult, not only pointing fingers at the work in the hall, but even a few people who don't know each other dare to point at their noses and scold, how ugly those words are, think about these Li Guiyan is a belly of anger.

Li Zhiqiang's words made him very useful, so he clasped his hands and said solemnly: "Lao Li, there are too few sensible old comrades like you. You can rest assured that the organization will never let honest people suffer. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, just come to me. ”

Looking for you? Isn't that looking for trouble?

Li Zhiqiang didn't want to be in the same league as the one in front of him, but he still had a grateful expression, and nodded again and again: "Thank you, thank you Director Li for your concern." ”

At this time, a black Audi with Jiang D00001 slowly stopped in front of the gate of the organ. Li Guige was wondering if the newly appointed secretary of the Taitung Municipal Party Committee came to worship the dock, when he saw a middle-aged man with a lofty instrument pushing behind him, and greeted Li Zhiqiang with a smile: "Lao Li, I'm really sorry, I've kept you waiting." It's almost time, so get in the car. ”

"Director Li, let's talk later."

Li Zhiqiang gave Li Guiyan an apologetic smile, and then quickly greeted him, got into the car and drove away.

Opportunities are especially important for those who are on the road to the profession. It's only been four years, but the gap has widened all of a sudden. Mei Yuting, the former leader, was transferred to the Provincial Department of Culture as the deputy director after serving as the executive vice mayor of Jiangcheng City; As the deputy director of the Department of Agriculture, he immediately became a deputy department-level researcher.

The official fortune of the person next to him is not ordinary prosperity, and before the mayor of Longjiang is finished, he was appointed by the provincial party committee as the secretary of the Taitung Municipal Party Committee and the director of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress.

The old partner was promoted, of course Li Zhiqiang was happy, and after saying hello to Mei Yuting on the co-pilot, he couldn't help asking: "Lao Ren, the work in Taitung is going well, right?" ”

Ren Ran waved and smiled casually: "Today's task is to pick up melons, not to talk about work." ”

"yes, you're such a big leader, is it my turn to be a little researcher?"

Mei Yuting was happy, and immediately turned around, and said with a smile: "Lao Li, why do I feel that the taste of your words is a little sour, is it psychologically unbalanced?" ”

Although Tian Wenjian has been gone for four years, the three have always maintained close contact. Every time Ren Ran came to the province for a meeting, it was either arranged by Mei Yuting or Li Zhiqiang as the east, and jokes like this were not less.

Li Zhiqiang nodded heavily, pointed to Ren Ran beside him, looked like a matter of course, and pretended to be serious: "Do you need to say this?" ”

"You're mentally unbalanced, I'm still mentally unbalanced!"

Ren Ran pushed his arm away, laughed and said: "Being an official to your job is called a smooth transition, and it is also called a safe retirement, don't be born in happiness and don't know blessings." ”

Mei Yuting nodded, and smiled thoughtfully: "Yes, it's better than retiring on the front foot and having the back foot turned over old accounts." ”

Li Zhiqiang was made laughed by their words, and secretly thought that he had a clean sleeve and a bright and upright position, not to mention that he had not offended anyone when he was in the second position, even if he offended some people, what was there to be afraid of?

Before he could speak, Ren Ran glanced at his phone, shook his head and sighed: "I really don't know what that kid thinks, I finally learned to be famous, but I ran back stupidly." ”

"Yes, Secretary Zhao is gone, and Principal Jiang has retired again, what can he do when he comes back?" Li Zhiqiang pondered for a moment, and sighed with regret.

"You two are really, dignified Ph.D. from Harvard, why does he need us to bother?" Mei Yuting didn't think about it, so she blurted out: "Besides, his relationship is still in Jiangda, and he is also a member of the training program for young and middle-aged cadres in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, I think neither the Provincial Party Committee nor Jiangda will bury this talent." ”

Ren Ran's face turned straight, shook his head and said, "That also depends on what kind of talent it is." ”

Li Zhiqiang let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "Alas! It's a pity, it's a pity. The doctor of philosophy is not popular with us, not to mention that he studied Western philosophy, which is not the right way for our Ma Zhe. ”

As he spoke, the car stopped outside the airport exit, and as soon as everyone pushed the car door, they saw Tian Wenjian's third senior brother Fu Jianguo's family, and Xiao Na's brother Gu Xiaojun's family waiting here. Ren Ran hurriedly walked up and greeted everyone cordially. Mei Yuting even picked up the child of Gu Xiaojun's family, showing the gentleness of her mother's surname.

"Stationmaster Fu, we are our own people, no matter what happens in Taitung in the future, you have to say hello to me first, so that I can be prepared."

As Tian Wenjian said four years ago, Fu Jianguo has ambitions of thousands of miles, and being the boss of "Centennial Image" is just an expedient measure. As soon as the debts he owed when he went to the sea to do business were paid off, he returned to his old business, and with his own efforts and the work experience of Huaxin, he was appointed as the head of the reporter station in J Province by the Southern Poster Industry Group.

Comparatively speaking, the reform of the South Poster Industry Group is much more thorough than that of other peers, and these reports are not always like the provincial newspapers, "the heavens say good things, and the earth keeps the peace". In particular, its "Nanhai Weekly" has an amazing influence.

Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, the face of the old friend of the little junior brother is to be given. What's more, as the dignified secretary of the municipal party committee, he can still rush over to pick up the plane in person in his busy schedule, which made Fu Jianguo very moved, and hurriedly smiled: "Secretary Ren said that he was laughing, aren't you scolding me?" ”

"I'm just talking about things, so don't be humble."

Ren Ran patted his hands, then turned around, stared at Gu Xiaojun's eyes, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Gu, how is the business of the photo studio?" Have you ever wanted to open a branch in Taitung? ”

Although "Centennial Image" is not the largest photography store in Jiangcheng, its fame is not small at all. Gu Xiaojun, who was no longer Wuxia Ameng, hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Thank you Secretary Ren for your concern, business is okay." But I'll just take a look at the store, as for whether to open a branch or not, I have to have the third brother and Wen Jian to make an idea. ”

"You little slippery head, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have known you!"

Li Zhiqiang was happy, and immediately laughed and said: "People can't look good, and the sea can't fight, look away, right?" ”

"Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black, and I have been fighting big reporters for two years, and even if it is an elm pimple, I am about to practice it."

Ren Ran turned around, pointed to the child in Mei Yuting's arms, and then smiled: "Xiao Gu, no matter what, you are a little better than your brother-in-law." Although he got married later than him, his son will call him Dad. What about him...... I know that I can read, I am in my thirties, and I don't want a child. ”

Without waiting for Gu Xiaojun to speak, Mei Yuting suddenly smiled and said, "I remembered what you said, they really missed a good opportunity." If you think about it, children born in the United States are serious American citizens, and they don't even have a green card. ”

At 10:20, the China Eastern Airlines plane flying from the capital finally landed safely on the runway. After hearing the announcer's announcement, everyone hurriedly walked to the exit, looking forward to the arrival of Tian Wenjian and his wife.

It's out, it's really out!

Tian Wenjian, who was dragging the trolley box in front, had not changed at all, and he still looked so young. Cortana was much plumper, dressed in a proper goose-yellow trench coat, smiling and following him.

"Xiao Jian, Xiao Na, we're here!"

"Taotao, call uncle and aunt!"

"Susu, aunt, that's your aunt......"

Ren Ran, Li Zhiqiang and Mei Yuting smiled and said nothing, while Fu Jianguo and Gu Xiaojun greeted them happily. Tian Wenjian nodded to everyone again and again to say hello, and while handing over the suitcase to the third brother, he smiled and said, "Brother Ren, Brother Li, Sister Mei, why are the three of you here too?" ”

Ren Ran clasped his hands tightly, looked up and down, and laughed and said, "Dr. Tian has returned with honors, can we not come?" ”

"Smoking is not allowed on the plane, is it suffocating?" Li Zhiqiang took out the box of Zhonghua, took out one and handed it over.

To everyone's surprise, Dr. Tian Da, a big smoker, shook his head with a smile and politely rejected his kindness. Seeing that Li Zhiqiang was a little embarrassed, Xiao Na hurriedly walked over and said in a gentle voice: "Director Li, in addition to getting his degree, his biggest gain in the past four years is to quit smoking. ”

"Really?" Li Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask.

Tian Wenjian nodded, and smiled casually: "Really, my tutor hates others smoking the most. If I don't quit smoking, I'm afraid I won't even be able to pass the doctoral qualification exam. ”

"It's good to quit, it's good to quit. It's no good thing, and I'll have to quit it sooner or later. ”

After seeing Xiao Na finish speaking, she hugged the little nephew in Mei Yuting's arms and teased excitedly. Fu Jianguo hurriedly pointed in the direction of the parking lot and said with a smile: "It's almost eleven o'clock, let's get in the car if you have anything to say, right?" ”

"Okay, get in the car first."

The nephew of her mother, the head of her life, Xiao Na undoubtedly got into her brother's Honda, and got into a fight with her sister-in-law and third sister-in-law who had never met. Tian Wenjian pulled the third brother Fu Jianguo, squeezed into Ren Ran's Audi, and drove towards the city one after the other.

"Oda, what are your plans for the future?"

As soon as he got into the car, Li Zhiqiang couldn't wait to ask the question he was most concerned about. Tian Wenjian pondered for a moment, smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I really don't have any specific plans. The road to the bridge is naturally straight, and I think there will always be a way. ”

Ren Ran frowned, and after thinking for a while, he asked lightly, "What do you mean by not having a specific plan?" ”

Tian Wenjian smiled, looked at the earth-shaking changes outside the car window, and explained: "Do you remember that I am a member of the training program for young and middle-aged cadres in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee? Because of this identity, he has always been registered at the consulate in Boston. I have to go to activities during the New Year's holidays, and from time to time I am also notified to participate in political studies.

People, there must always be a beginning and an end to doing things. I thought about it, but I still thought I should come back and report for it. Anyway, I still sent it out, didn't I? ”

"But as far as I know, Jiang University has gone out more than 300 people over the years, but less than 20 people have returned. To put it mildly, since you're out, it's not your business to say where to go? ”

How could Tian Wenjian not understand this, in fact, he also met two of them. Seeing that Ren Ran pointed it out, he let out a long sigh, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, we have also hesitated on this issue." After all, it is not an easy task to gain a foothold there. But I studied philosophy, and even my graduation thesis was called "The Relationship between Chinese Moral Philosophy and the Theory of Human Surnames". If you don't come back, then what's moral? ”

Ren Ran nodded heavily, and sighed with emotion: "You are really easy to change, and your surname is difficult to change!" ”

"Actually, it's not as noble as you say."

Tian Wenjian changed his words and said very seriously: "My parents are old, just a son like me, I can't float outside like before." Besides, foreign countries are not as good as imagined, especially for Chinese. Rather than stay there and be stared at, it's better to go back to yourself. ”

Li Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and couldn't help asking: "Racial discrimination?" ”

Tian Wenjian nodded slightly, and said with a bitter smile: "Chinese are like this in developed countries, there is nothing strange. ”

"Isn't the United States a country of immigrants, why should it discriminate against Chinese?" Mei Yuting turned her head with an incredulous expression.

Tian Wenjian pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "There are their reasons, and there are our own reasons, but the most important thing is our own reasons. And not only in the United States, but also in other countries.

Last year, I went with my teacher to Oman, a small country on the Arabian Peninsula with a population of just over 2 million. Among the anecdotes shared by my friends, the one that touched me the most was the fact that Oman hospitals only charge Chinese for medical treatment.

Although their economy is not among the richest countries in the world, they have a system of free health care and education for all. Not only are all expenses from nursery school to university graduation borne by the state, but all expenses for medical treatment, medicine, surgery, and hospitalization do not need to be paid by individuals. It is particularly commendable that such a medical system applies equally to all foreigners in Oman. ”

Seeing that everyone was stunned, Tian Wenjian paused and continued: "Looking at such a good thing, some compatriots in Oman have sounded their wishful thinking. In order to save rent, some people either pretend to be sick and ask for hospitalization; or minor illnesses pretending to be major illnesses and begging to be hospitalized; Either the illness is curing and pretending not to be discharged from the hospital.

Over time, the Omani political axe could not bear it anymore, and simply changed the free medical care system: all except Chinese are free. In the face of this kind of discriminatory surname regulation like "Chinese and dogs are not allowed", what else can we say? ”

Of the world's 7 billion people, Chinese already account for almost one-fifth.

Almost everywhere in densely populated places, you can see the figure of Chinese. What happened in Oman is something similar in other countries? I really don't know. In the face of the reality of the general recession of the world economy, it seems that China's economy, which is a single flower, is attracting more and more foreigners.

What kind of image should be presented to the world? Perhaps the time has come for us to pay close attention to the attention of the parties concerned. Because the real strength of a country depends not only on how much GDP it has, but also on what kind of people it creates.

Thinking of this, Ren Ran, who was already in a high position, sighed and said solemnly: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit." When the descendants of China can change the 'benefit' to 'righteousness', then our nation will be truly powerful! ”
