Glancing at the caller ID, Zhang Qiumei's face suddenly showed a hint of surprise. Then she picked up the phone with a smile on her face and said, "I'm Zhang Qiumei, is it Xiao Zhao?" ”

However, what came from the other end of the phone was not Xiao Zhao's hearty laughter, but a deep voice: "Hello Minister Qiumei." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Qiumei's smile became even brighter, but his heart chuckled. In the past, this old leader contacted him, and he asked Xiao Zhao to connect first, but what happened this time.

But her cheerful voice, as it was back then, made it impossible to hear anything else from it. After greeting the old leader, Zhang Qiumei was a little unstable, she was eager to know what the old leader was doing, but on the surface, she couldn't rush to urge and ask. After all, through these concerns, you can get closer to the relationship with the old leaders.

"Qiu Mei, everything is fine at home, how are you working now?" The voice of the old leader was full of concern.

Things to do at work? Zhang Qiumei was shocked, but then he was a little relieved. In the past, the old leaders rarely mentioned this issue, but now, could it be that they have to take a step forward?

Thinking of this, I was a little excited: "Thank you for the leader's concern for me, through these years of training, I am full of confidence in doing my own job." ”

In fact, Zhang Qiumei felt that there was still one sentence that had not been finished, that is, it was completely possible to pick up a more arduous burden! But in the end, she swallowed the sentence anyway. After all, the old leader likes people who are modest and cautious.

"Well, it's good to have a good job, I heard that your Xiaofeng is about to graduate from college?" The old leader paused, then asked with a smile again.

"Well, Xiaofeng has graduated. Now this child has not only started his own business, but also found a girlfriend, maybe when he will get married. Old leader, Xiaofeng grew up with you, and you can come to his wedding! Zhang Qiumei couldn't help but dance when she talked about her son.

"I not only want to participate in Xiaofeng's marriage, but also strive to be a witness, this is what I promised Xiaofeng before, you can't forget it for me."

Zhang Qiumei saw that the old leader was giving himself face like this, and felt more and more that his conjecture was good.

Zhang Qiumei, who was a little excited in his heart, laughed even more cheerfully: "Okay, old leader, as soon as you come, Xiaofeng's wedding will be a success!" ”

A few words of kung fu made the relationship between the two a lot closer. Although Zhang Qiumei's progress has always been under the attention of the old leader, she rarely chats with the old leader so speculatively and easily.

"Qiu Mei, the child is already older, you should also plan for yourself." The words of the old leader were mixed with infinite concern.

Coming, Zhang Qiumei's heart tightened, and he said with a smile: "Old leader, you know, I don't have special requirements in this regard, I listen to you." ”

"Then you can step down!" A faint voice came from the phone. With this voice, I heard the other side say: "The child is about to get married, you should also find a quiet position, and you can help take care of the child in the future." ”

"Yes, I ......" Zhang Qiumei's words were halfway through before he came to his senses. At this time, she couldn't believe the old leader's arrangement at all and let herself retreat?

After suppressing the horror in his heart, Zhang Qiumei reluctantly smiled: "Old leader, I know that you care about me, but I can't be idle, Xiaofeng They want children, it will take a while, I ...... I think I could have done it a little longer. ”

The other end of the phone did not speak, but this silence made Zhang Qiumei feel extremely uncomfortable. She knew that her fate seemed to be decided.

"Xiao Zhang, I understand your thoughts, and from my point of view, I also hope that you can make more contributions to the development of Nanjiang, but just the day before yesterday, the leading comrades of the Nanjiang Provincial Party Committee mentioned that you should continue to play a role in the CPPCC in their suggestions for reflecting the adjustment of the leadership to their superiors."

"As you know, the current readjustment of the Nanjiang leadership is based on the principle of fully respecting the opinions of the Nanjiang Provincial Party Committee. There is nothing remarkable about your previous work, and now that the situation in Nanjiang is changing, it is also a wise move to let you quit this whirlpool. ”

Zhang Qiumei only remembered one sentence in his heart about the words of the old leader, that is, the main responsible comrades of Nanjiang. Now there are only two people who can be called the main person in charge in Nanjiang, one is Ye Chengmin, and the other is Li Chengyuan.

It must have been Ye Chengmin who reflected it to the above! As long as Li Chengyuan helps himself say something now, maybe he still has hope. Although Ye Chengmin is the secretary, he definitely can't represent the entire Nanjiang.

"Old leader, I have one thing I want to ask you, is this main responsible comrade Ye Chengmin?"

In the past, when Zhang Qiumei called Ye Chengmin, she was always called Secretary Ye, but now at this time, she no longer has the heart to take care of so much.

There was no sound on the other end of the line. Zhang Qiumei, who felt more and more that the straw he grabbed could save his life, became more and more urgent: "Old leader, if you want to say that the main leader of a place, in addition to the number one, there should also be a governor, you can ask the leader of the organization department to ask Governor Li's opinion to see if he is willing to let me leave my current post!" ”

Zhang Qiumei's attitude was resolute, and her tone was affirmative, she believed that Li Chengyuan would never let her step back from her current position.

"Xiao Zhang, obey the organization."

"Old leader, I'm not reconciled, even if I ask you, please ask for Governor Li's opinion, after all, Governor Li is the governor of Nanjiang!"

"When I solicited opinions on the organization, I successively solicited the opinions of Secretary Ye and Governor Li, and the two of them had the same attitude and agreed to transfer you from your current position."

"Governor Li?" For a while, Zhang Qiumei had a feeling that he was about to collapse!

Why? followed him Li Chengyuan's advice before and after the saddle, not only did he not appreciate it, but he wanted to kick himself away? Could it be that he also has something unspeakable that he can't hide?

Zhang Qiumei's thoughts kept jumping, and just when she felt uncomfortable, she heard the old leader say lightly: "If you want to open up, everyone has a time to retreat." ”

"Old leader, I can obey the organizational arrangement. But I can't figure it out, I follow him Li Chengyuan to do work, why would he abandon me like this? ”

Zhang Qiumei's emotions were almost out of control, and the old leader's voice became deeper and lower: "Xiao Zhang, you should think that sometimes, in the eyes of others, you are not as important as you imagined. ”

After saying this, the old leader hung up the phone. Zhang Qiumei only felt that her legs were weak and she knelt on one knee, she couldn't accept such a thing!

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Qiumei relaxed from this state, she poured herself a glass of water, and began to ponder every word the old leader said.

"I'll ask." Zhang Qiumei muttered to himself and stood up. She picked up her handbag and walked in the direction of Li Chengyuan's office.

"Hello Minister Zhang." Zhao Chengyun was packing up his papers, and when he saw Zhang Qiumei walking over, he hurriedly stood up and said hello.

In the past, when Zhang Qiumei saw Zhao Chengyun, she would always smile and chat, but now she didn't have this mind at all, and said bluntly at the moment: "Does the governor have time now?" ”

"The governor is taking a call right now, I'll take a look at it for you." Zhao Chengyun didn't notice Zhang Qiumei's abnormality, and spoke as usual.

Zhang Qiumei nodded, but she didn't wait here as Zhao Chengyun thought, but walked directly towards Li Chengyuan's office. Seeing Zhang Qiumei's behavior, the sweat on Zhao Chengyun's head suddenly came down.

The time to follow Li Chengyuan is not short, she can't work hard for so long and end up with a useless reputation!

"Come in." Li Chengyuan's voice came from inside the door. With this voice, Zhang Qiumei and Zhao Chengyun entered the room.

"So let's do it first." Li Chengyuan looked at Zhang Qiumei and Zhao Chengyun who walked in, his expression did not change much, he said a word to the other end of the phone, and hung up the phone directly.

This kind of hanging up the phone of the governor as if he was forced to have a surname made Zhao Chengyun more and more anxious. Just as he was about to open his mouth to explain, Li Chengyuan waved his hand at him and motioned for him to wait outside.

"Governor Li, I just want to ask you a word this time, after you become the acting governor, do I have anything to be sorry for you?" Zhang Qiumei did not sit down at Li Chengyuan's signal, but looked at Li Chengyuan and said directly to Li Chengyuan.

Li Chengyuan walked out from behind the desk, he looked at Zhang Qiumei with a cold face, and muttered for a moment before saying, "Minister Zhang, the two of us have cooperated well. ”

"Since you think that our cooperation is quite good, can you tell me why you asked me to go to the CPPCC when my superiors asked for opinions?" Zhang Qiumei's voice suddenly became a few points higher.

At this time, all her grievances seemed to have found a vent point. She looked at Li Chengyuan, her voice full of anger.

Li Chengyuan did not answer her words immediately, but personally poured her a glass of water from the kettle and put it on the table, and then said: "Qiu Mei, I understand your feelings, you sit down first, and we will talk slowly." ”

"I don't have time to talk slowly, what I want to know most now is the answer!"

"Okay, since you must know, then I'll tell you." Li Chengyuan's voice became calmer and calmer, and he said in a deep voice: "The reason why I agreed to let you go to the CPPCC is because you chose the wrong opponent." Now the team in Nanjiang needs unity and stability, and you should not be the unstable factor in the team. ”

Shouldn't it be a factor of instability? Although Zhang Qiumei already had the answer in his heart before he came, at this moment, he still felt sad when he heard these words come out of Li Chengyuan's mouth.

Although Li Chengyuan did not mention her name, Zhang Qiumei knew that the reason why Li Chengyuan agreed to this matter was entirely because of that person, and it was precisely because of that person's opinion that her closest comrades-in-arms abandoned her directly.

In fact, what Li Chengyuan said earlier was just a cover-up, and he really meant only one thing, that is, you Zhang Qiumei chose the wrong opponent.

Not a heavyweight at all, how can you win!

Thinking of the result, Zhang Qiumei had a feeling of prostration, and she felt that everything she had done these days was like a clown jumping off the beam.
