Zhang Wenqi listened to two words of the phone, raised his feet and left, waited for two steps, turned around again, and said anxiously and apologetically: "Brother, I'm really sorry, something happened at home, I have to go first, and when I finish dealing with things, I will apologize to you when my brother is done." ”

"It's urgent, Brother Zhang, let's go. If you need help, don't ask! As soon as Zeng Yi saw it, he knew that Zhang Wenqi was not lying, and this must have happened urgently.

Zhang Wenqi was no longer polite, took out two hundred yuan and pressed it on the table, and left in a hurry.

Half an hour later, Du Ruo came over, dressed in casual clothes, and didn't bring a secretary, when he came in and saw Zeng Yi, he walked over, and when he arrived at the table, he saw that there was a pair of dishes and chopsticks, so he asked, "Do you have other friends?" ”

"Classmates from the party school, if there is something urgent at home, let's go first!" Zeng Yi explained, asked the waiter to remove all the excess on the table, and then ordered another noodle, two dishes, and a bottle of wine.

Du Ruo sat there, rolled up his sleeves, and said with a smile: "You classmate is really stingy, why do you invite you to eat noodles!" ”

Zeng Yi waved his hand and said, "I brought it up myself, I don't have anything special to eat, I just want to eat a bowl of hot noodles!" ”

When Du Ruo heard this, he smiled and said: "You kid is really low-key, I'm afraid I didn't tell anyone about my real level!" "Du Ruo can guess without thinking about it, Zeng Yizhen showed his level and position, as long as he didn't have meningitis, he knew that this background must be unusual, so why not hurry up and wait for the delicacies of the mountains and seas?

"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it!" Zeng Yi said and smiled faintly.

Du Ruo nodded, and his heart was the same, he also knew a little about the situation of the reserve class of the Training Department of the Central Party School, the average age of the students who came to participate in the study was forty years old, but the average level was not less than the deputy department. If the real situation is poked out, Zeng Yi won't think about peace during the party school, he is not afraid, what he is afraid of is that someone will get pink eye, if he is targeted by the villain, he will secretly fan you with some yīn wind and make some ghost fire, you don't know what chaos will happen.

Some time ago, a cadre was promoted in a certain place, who was one year older than Zeng Yi, but he was just a town mayor, at best, he was only at the department level, but he was questioned by many people, and finally had to change his position.

Younger cadres is a trend, but the specific implementation, the difficulty is still very great, if there is a young person who has taken up the actual position of the head of the comprehensive post, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind must not be how much ability the young man has, but that this person must have a background.

Zeng Yi did not deliberately want to be low-key, but to avoid some unnecessary troubles, the forest is big, there will be any birds, it is always not wrong to be low-key, not to mention that Fang Nanguo arranged for Zeng Yi to enter the party school, the purpose is to let Zeng Yi avoid the limelight.

"During your studies in the capital, no matter what happens, you must open your mouth to me!" Du Ruo looked at Zeng Yi, and he didn't say it casually, "Otherwise, let my old Du go back to Nanjiang, and how can I see my old friends and brothers before!" ”

Zeng Yi smiled and nodded, "Don't worry!" As long as you don't get annoyed, I'll be looking for you a lot! ”

Du Ruo was happy at this time, opened the wine bottle, and said, "Come on, come on, for your gilding opportunity, do one first!" Let's drink wine today, it also has a different taste! ”

Both of them are old acquaintances, and there is no need to persuade them to drink, they drink slowly, and most of the wine is half of a bottle, Du Ruo asked again: "The case of Sun Yi and Chang Junlong is about to come to an end, right?" ”

Zeng Yi nodded and said, "It should be fast, during the period of my study, there will definitely be results!" ”

Du Ruo thought about it, but still asked tentatively: "Who can win in the end?" ”

Zeng Yi smiled and asked, "Brother Du wants to go back to Nanjiang?" ”

Du Ruo smiled, he really couldn't hide anything from Zeng Yi! To be honest, Du Ruo does have this idea, if Qin Liangxin can have the last laugh this time and become the governor as he wishes, with his good relationship in the past, Du Ruo will be transferred back to Nanjiang to be the director of the xxx hall, there will be no problem; If you are lucky, it is possible to be a vice governor, so that Du Ruo can step from the prefectural level to the rank of vice provincial level at once.

If Zeng Yi can help himself with some more strength, the vice provincial level will not be the end. Of course, this is too difficult, there is a saying in officialdom that the deputy provincial level and above are done, and the deputy provincial level and above are born. If you go up further, it depends on whether you are rooted and sprouted, and without an absolute big backer, it is difficult for ordinary people to break through the sub-provincial level.

"Qin xxx is my old superior, when I'm idle, I think about it for the old leader!" Du Ruo smiled and lifted the cup again, diverting the topic just now.

Zeng Yi and Du Ruo clinked glasses, above the officialdom, it was normal for anyone not to think about raising their rank, but Zeng Yi still said: "Judging from the current situation, Qin XXX still has a lot of hope!" ”

Du Ruo smiled, when Zeng Yi said this, his credibility was much greater, he was happy in his heart, and said: "Come, drink, drink!" ”

Zeng Yi's words are not nonsense, according to the current situation, Sun Wenjie has been disgraced in Nanjiang Province, and it is not interesting to stay any longer. As for Bing Hanbai, he is definitely not willing to work with Sun Wenjie, because the two are of the same level and age, so there is naturally a competitive relationship, and Qin Liangxin is different, when he is not the governor of this province, Qin Liangxin is the last stop, and it will be more comfortable to cooperate with a person who is impossible to go further in his career and cannot threaten himself, than to cooperate with the ambitious Sun Wenjie.

If Zeng Yi is allowed to choose, Zeng Yi will also choose to cooperate with Qin Liangxin, as long as there are no irreconcilable contradictions, it will be more conducive to the development of Nanjiang Province. Qin Liangxin's goal is only at the provincial and ministerial level, after the goal is achieved, there is no need for him to go to the good things of Bing Hanbai, if he really does that, then Qin Liangxin will probably have to retire like Long Qingquan in the future, and this ending will not be of any benefit to Qin Liangxin.

After drinking this bottle, Zeng Yi stopped drinking it, and said: "I will go back to the party school to live in a while, it's not good if the alcohol is too heavy!" ”

"Okay, anyway, you will be in the capital for this time in the future, there are many opportunities to drink, don't rush this time!" Du Ruo just gave up, they are all old acquaintances anyway, as long as they feel good about drinking, it's okay, and they don't necessarily have to drink to be called good.

When he got out of the hotel, it was not early, Du Ruo's driver drove Zeng Yi back to the party school first, and then sent Du Ruo home.

When I entered the dormitory, the lights were dark, and it was not yet officially opened, so I didn't necessarily have to live in the dormitory, maybe everyone else was living in their respective Beijing offices.

Zeng Yi drank a cup of hot water and was about to go to bed, but as soon as he collapsed, someone knocked on the door, so Zeng Yi had to get up and open the door.

As soon as the door opened, it was a man in his early thirties, with a round face and a small flat head, looking very capable, with a smile on his face, and said, "Hello, my name is Zhang Wu, and I am also a student of this training class. ”

Zeng Yi let the door open and said, "Hello, my name is Zeng Yi, please come in!" ”

Zhang Wu took out a deck of playing cards and said, "You also don't have any relatives and friends in the capital, right?" Me too, there is another one in the dormitory next door, idle is also idle, the same is the end of the world, let's play cards and chat? ”

Zeng Yi didn't expect that there was anything worse than himself, and said: "Okay, when you say this, my hands are also a little itchy!" ”

The two went out together and knocked on the dormitory next door, which was a middle-aged man in his forties, named Zheng Zhiqiang, and asked them about their intentions, and Zheng Zhiqiang happily agreed. The three of them carried a table and placed it in the middle of the dormitory, each moved a chair, and began to play the landlord, which was not big, at the bottom of ten yuan.

Between the chats, Zeng Yi figured out the origin of these two people, Zhang Wu, like himself, is also a deputy chief clerk, but Zhang Wu is a genuine deputy chief clerk, because of the good play of the pen, Zhang Wu wrote an article last year, which was accidentally seen by his superiors, praised and won glory for the county, so he got a chance to come to the party school to gild; Zheng Zhiqiang is a serious director of the Municipal Bureau of Commerce, and his business level is also very high, but he is more proud, and now he is basically set aside by the leadership team of the bureau.

Zeng Yi is a person who doesn't care about winning or losing, he doesn't deliberately count cards when he plays cards, and there are mistakes in several cooperations, Zhang Wu just laughed, but Zheng Zhiqiang was not very happy, and said Zeng Yi a few words. Some people say that "xìng grid determines fate", and it seems that there is a certain amount of truth.

After playing for two hours and seeing that the time was about the same, the three of them dispersed and went back to their rooms to sleep.

After going out, Zhang Wu whispered: "Brother Zeng, Lao Zheng doesn't speak very well, don't take it to heart!" ”

Zeng Yi actually didn't care at all, Zheng Zhiqiang was the xìng grid, only for playing cards, not for Zeng Yi, he said: "No, playing cards is a pastime." ”

Zhang Wu patted Zeng Yi on the shoulder and said, "Brother Zeng, rest early, if there is no arrangement tomorrow night, I will come to you to play cards again." ”

"Good!" Zeng Yi shook hands with Zhang Wu and said goodbye, and when he returned to the house, it was still empty, Zeng Yi was also a little sleepy, and fell asleep.

The next morning, He Xiangdong and Shi Wei came again, and when they entered the door, they didn't see Zhang Wenqi, so they asked, "Where is the old Zhang Ren?" I'm still waiting for his arrangement today! ”

Zeng Yi said: "Something happened to Brother Zhang's family, tǐng was in a hurry, and he hurriedly went to deal with it last night." ”

When Shi Wei heard this, he said: "This old Zhang must be angry in his heart, blame us for refuting his face." You said that this thing is troublesome, isn't it really impossible to get out! ”

He Xiangdong also had this idea in his heart, but he still said: "Maybe it's really urgent!" I will call to ask about the situation, if I really can't come, just the three of us, I will arrange it in the evening, and I will definitely satisfy the two brothers! ”

Zeng Yi stopped talking, think about it or forget it, even if he explains more for Zhang Wenqi, others may not believe it, let alone change their views and attitudes towards Zhang Wenqi, above the officialdom, it is really commonplace to deal with red and white, and no one wants to deal with down-and-out people, first, for fear of bad luck, and second, for knowing that they can't help themselves.

He Xiangdong called Zhang Wenqi, and sure enough, Zhang Wenqi was very sorry on the phone, saying that he couldn't get out of the body because of something, and asked He Xiangdong to convey his apologies to a few roommates on his behalf, and when the matter was done, he would make up for it later.

"Then it's decided, I'll arrange it in the evening, and I'll send a car to pick up the two brothers at that time!" After He Xiangdong said this, he said goodbye and left the dormitory, maybe there was something else to be busy with.

Shi Wei is also a person who can't stay, and he didn't have anything to talk to Zeng Yi, the deputy chief clerk, in the dormitory, so he went to the door with a briefcase, and went to other dormitories to inquire about the news and expand his popularity.

In the eyes of the common people, the party school is a place used by officials to build relationships, which is straightforward, but it is not wrong. Party schools are indeed a good place for officials to expand their interpersonal relationships, and the convenience provided by party schools is not comparable to other channels.

Let's ask, is there a place in this world that can be the same as a party school, where the surrounding classmates are all officials, and there is no harm to each other's interests?

From primary school to university, everyone will have many classmates, but these students either go into business, or work as workers in factories, or are white-collar workers, and there are very few people who can really enter the system and become like-minded people with themselves. Therefore, in the system, the students mentioned by everyone generally refer to the students of the party school.

It will never hurt to know a few more classmates, and if you have a good relationship, you may be able to provide yourself with some help, even if you don't need it now, you will have a place to use it in the future. The worst is that his classmates are all over the world, so he must be received wherever he goes, and this benefit will definitely be there.

And the relationship between classmates is also relatively iron!

It is not unreasonable that classmates can be in the first place in the well-known "four-iron" relationship, carried guns together, prostituted together, and shared the spoils together. As a classmate of the party school, everyone is all over the world, and there is no harm to each other's vital interests, and if you get along well, it will be helpful, it can be said that there are all kinds of benefits and no harm, and this relationship can naturally be maintained for a long time.

This is also the reason why Zeng Yi can't look down on Shi Wei, this person is simply too utilitarian, you are here to gild, the spring breeze is proud, even if it is a little excessive, Zeng Yi can understand, but there is no need to deliberately despise his classmates, Shi Wei is obviously a little aimed at Zhang Wenqi, one Shanan, one Xijiang, each other is not the same place, you just stepped on Zhang Wenqi, and you can't stand in line or be loyal to your own leadership, why bother!

In the evening, He Xiangdong sent a car to pick up Zeng Yi and Shi Wei.

The party school stipulates that students are not allowed to bring drivers and secretaries, but there is no rule that they are not allowed to bring cars, and if they drive themselves, they can go to the school security office to apply for a vehicle pass. It's just that in this year, any leader can drive by himself, and if he doesn't have a driver, he would rather walk. This is a bit similar to Wang Jintang, the director of the health bureau who Zeng Yi was in Nanyun County at that time, Wang Jintang took a small bird brand electric car, and even asked a driver to drive it, which really made a lot of jokes.

He Xiangdong arranged the dinner in the evening at the Beijing Office in Qingshan County, which is the Beijing Office internally and the Qingshan Hotel externally, with three stars, but the standard of interior decoration far exceeds that of a three-star hotel. As for the food, it is also a bird and a beast, and there is everything.

There is no way, the county leaders have to come to the capital from time to time to carry out activities, and they don't let the leaders live more comfortably and eat more comfortably. To put it mildly, your work is not carried out well. No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor leaders, this sentence is valid everywhere.

Because of the lack of Zhang Wenqi, today is a small gathering, He Xiangdong explained this in advance, but the specifications of the reception are still not low.

It's just that on the second night, Shi Wei made the same arrangement, and took He Xiangdong and Zeng Yi to Xunzhou Municipal Office in Beijing for dinner.

After all, Xunzhou City is at the city level, and the scale and standard of the Beijing Office are far higher than that of Qingshan County, and the same hospitality standard, Shi Wei faintly overshadowed He Xiangdong, which made He Xiangdong a little uncomfortable, after all, in the dormitory, his level is the highest.

Zeng Yi saw He Xiangdong's discomfort, but he didn't say anything, he was a "deputy chief clerk", people can treat you as a classmate, what else is he dissatisfied with, just eat with his head bored, and he can't talk about it.

On the evening of the third day, Zeng Yi was supposed to be the host, but the opening ceremony was to be held tomorrow, so everyone asked for an extension so that Zeng Yi owed it first.

The opening ceremony is a major event of the party school, and in addition to the trainees of the training department, all officials at the provincial, ministerial, prefectural, and departmental levels who are attending the study in the advanced study department must also attend, and the president of the Central Party School will personally attend the speech, which is one of the big figures at the top of the power, and the director of the Central Organization Department may also attend.

For this kind of scene, no one dares to treat it sloppily, let alone be absent from the basket.

When it gets dark, the lights in the dormitory building are almost all on, and the college, which was spending the night outside a few days ago, has all returned to the dormitory today to live in a group dormitory.

After Zhang Wenqi disappeared for a few days, he was finally relieved, and he was very tired, so he first dispersed a circle of cigarettes when he entered the door, and then apologized to everyone, saying: "I'm really sorry for the brothers, I'm the big brother who missed the appointment, and I will definitely entertain me grandly when I turn around and make up for my mistakes." ”

Shi Wei said: "This is out of sight! We are brothers, how can we not understand Big Brother! Shi Wei bit the word "big brother" very hard, obviously accusing Zhang Wenqi of relying on the old and selling the old and not enough brothers.

Zeng Yi got up and went to make Zhang Wenqi a cup of hot tea, and asked with concern: "Brother Zhang, the matter is still going well, right?" ”

Zhang Wenqi looked at Zeng Yi with a smile and said, "It's going well!" ”

He Xiangdong handed Zhang Wenqi a cigarette at this time and said, "Brother Zhang, if there is anything you need to help, you must speak." After all, we are classmates, sharing blessings and difficulties! He Xiangdong's words are very beautiful and responsible, showing his courage as a county magistrate.

Zhang Wenqi nodded and said, "With this sentence, my big brother's heart is warm, or the deep affection of our classmates!" ”

Everyone chatted casually, Shi Wei talked a lot, he recently went back and forth, heard a lot of news, and happened to share it with his brothers, but most of these news were gossip chasing after the wind and shadows; He Xiangdong occasionally spoke a few steps, and seemed very calm; Only Zhang Wenqi seemed to be very preoccupied, and his mind was not in the matter of chatting.

When the lights were turned off and everyone was lying on the chuáng, Zhang Wenqi spoke again and said, "Do the brothers have any acquaintances in the health system of the capital?" ”

He Xiangdong got up and pressed the lamp and asked, "Is anyone sick in Brother Zhang's family?" ”

When the lights came on, I saw that Zhang Wenqi hadn't slept at all, so he had been sitting by the chuáng, he said: "It's my old leader who is sick, and now he is hospitalized in the Beijing Hospital, and they all say that the medical level in the capital is high, but I am not familiar with the life in the capital, and I can't understand the situation." If you have an acquaintance in this area, please help me inquire and introduce a good expert. ”

Generally speaking, everyone has just become classmates, no one will easily open their mouths to ask for people, after all, this thing is a favor, use it once less, and in the future you still have to pay it back, you still have to go, others are willing to do this exchange of favors with you, if you don't get it, others will have to look at the mood, after all, everyone comes from all over the world, and it is not a person from the capital, I promised you today, and I will open my mouth to ask others tomorrow.

Zhang Wenqi also felt that this was not good, but there was really no way, he had run away in the past few days, so it was easy to arrange for the old leader to be admitted to the Beijing Hospital, as for who the authoritative expert in this area was, he didn't know at all. In these years, if you don't have an acquaintance to lead the way, you basically have a black eye, and you can't figure out anything.

However, everyone also heard a key message from Zhang Wenqi's words, Zhang Wenqi was kicked out of the party school this time, I am afraid that it has something to do with his old leader's serious illness, which is the absence of the background.

Shi Wei said: "I am from the financial department, but I am not very familiar with the health mouth, this is the capital again, I am afraid that it will not be able to help much, tomorrow I will first help the people from the Beijing office to inquire, can this living person still suffocate urine, don't you say?" By the way, Brother Zhang, what kind of disease does your old leader have? ”

Zhang Wenqi had a trace of disappointment in his eyes, but he still smiled with a hint of feeling, and said: "Thank you, Brother Shi, my old leader had a stroke, and he committed it once some time ago, and then he was paralyzed and speechless, and he committed it again two days ago, and it was even more serious, so he could only be sent to the capital for treatment." ”

He Xiangdong lit another cigarette, smoked half a cigarette, and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Zhang, I really know a person from the health system in the capital, who works in the Beijing Health Bureau, and my hometown is from our Qingshan County." I'll give you a call tomorrow and ask about the situation first! ”

Zhang Wenqi finally saw a glimmer of hope, and said: "Brother Xiangdong, whether it succeeds or not, I have written down your love!" ”

He Xiangdong strangled the cigarette butt and said: "What are you doing with these words, who told us to be classmates, since we are classmates, we will bear something together!" ”

Zeng Yi's eyes lit up, but he didn't expect that He Xiangdong was still affectionate at a critical moment, and he was willing to ask someone to help him for the sake of a down-and-out classmate he had just met, which was rare. Zeng Yi said: "Brother Zhang, the matter has come to this, you don't have to be too anxious, I also have a few acquaintances in the capital, I will also call tomorrow and ask them to help and contact you!" ”

"Okay, good ......" Zhang Wenqi's voice was a little choked, he opened his mouth cheekily, the classmates were able to agree, he was very moved, and said: "It's not too early, everyone hurry up and rest, don't delay tomorrow's opening ceremony!" ”
