Xiang Chengdong parked the car at the door of the 'soup restaurant', Yao Ze pushed the car door, walked in first, and found a remote and quiet place to sit down, at this time Xiang Chengdong also followed and sat opposite him.

A young and delicate waitress brought the menu and handed it to Yao Ze, Yao Ze waved his hand, he often eats here, but he is more familiar with the dishes here, so he ordered a few signature dishes here, of course, red dates and corn chicken soup are indispensable.

After ordering the dish, Yao Ze first asked the waiter to serve a few bottles of beer, Xiang Chengdong opened the beer, poured it for Yao Ze, and then poured a glass himself, seeing that Yao Ze's face was not relaxed at all, Xiang Qi hesitated for a moment, and asked, "County Magistrate Yao has something on his mind?" As a driver who drove a car, Xiang Chengdong knew that he shouldn't ask more, but since Yao Ze called him over for a drink, he felt that he should ask as a friend.

Yao Ze picked up the cup and touched it with Xiang Chengdong, then took a big sip, put down the cup, and said quietly: "Officialdom is a big quagmire, once you fall into it, I'm afraid it's impossible to get out, you said that people squeeze their heads and want to be officials, what is the purpose, is it to be powerful and beneficial to the people?" ”

Xiang Chengdong didn't know why Yao Ze suddenly sighed, and he didn't know how to answer, so he had to bow his head and drink, Yao Ze took the cup and drank it all, and said with a wry smile: "If the leadership team fights a little less, I'm afraid that the country will develop better." When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Yao Ze received a call from Shen Jiangming, which probably meant that Yao Ze should be mentally prepared and might have to move his nest, and the above thought that in recent years, the leadership team of Tangshan County has had the problem of strictness, and the infighting is too strict, and he plans to have a big change of blood, and this mudslide is just an opportunity.

Yao Ze has only been transferred to Tangshan County for three months, and he wanted to take root in Tangshan County and do a good job in Tangshan County, but he didn't expect that the position of executive deputy county magistrate had not yet been hot, and he had to change places, which made Yao Ze very depressed, Yao Ze felt that he was implicated by the leadership team of Tangshan County, and it was only three months since he was transferred, and it had nothing to do with him if Tangshan County's economy did not go up, but Yao Ze was helpless to change Tangshan County for blood, because he felt that it was decided by the bigwigs in the province, even Shen Jiangming couldn't speak.

Hearing Yao Ze say that he wanted to move his nest, Xiang Chengdong glanced at Yao Ze in some surprise, and then asked out loud: "Didn't County Magistrate Yao just come to Tangshan County, and you can't help but be right about this mudslide incident, but you have merit, how can the leaders above ......?"

Yao Ze is depressed that he feels that he has been treated unfairly, at Yao Ze's level, being a deputy county magistrate of a county is already the maximization of power, if he is transferred back to the city bureau, he seems to have become a deputy department-level cadre in name only, and the second and third leaders of a certain city bureau are not as good as the second and third leaders in the county government.

"Things in officialdom are changing rapidly, and those who can't be viewed with ordinary eyes will be paid attention to, and those who have merit will be important if they are uncertain, and if mediocre people can do a good job in the relationship with their superiors, they are not necessarily worse than cadres who do practical things." Yao Ze smiled at Xiang Chengwei, and said to Xiang Chengdong that he didn't understand it, so he planned to divert the topic, "Why have I never heard you mention your family?" ”

Xiang Chengdong drank a cup of beer slowly, and then said indifferently: "I have no family, my father died two years ago, and my mother ......" Speaking of this, he paused, his eyes were written waves, and only after half a sound did he breathe lightly, and said very flatly: "I ran away with others, I felt that my father was too poor at that time, and I didn't want to live a hard life with my father!" ”

Yao Ze sighed softly, how could he not be the same as Xiang Chengdong, although his current father is Wang Hanzhong, but his own father doesn't know who it is, in the past twenty-four years, Yao Ze has never even dreamed of his own father, not that he doesn't want to dream, but he doesn't know what his own father looks like, and he has no dream goal at all.

"No other relatives?" Yao Ze actually had a feeling of sympathy, this young man who was half a year younger than himself was actually even more tragic than himself.

"There are no other relatives." Xiang Chengdong shook his head and grinned: "It's better this way, it's alone, and there is no concern." ”

Yao Ze nodded, picked up the cup and touched it with Xiang Chengdong, and said with a smile: "Don't call me County Magistrate Yao when no one is in the future, it sounds awkward, if you don't dislike it, you can call me brother." ”

Xiang Chengdong has never been a person who twists, and after listening to Yao Ze's words, he laughed and said honestly: "Then dare to dislike it, I am high climbing." He scratched his head and continued, "Then I'...... I'll call you brother from now on. ”

"Hmm." Yao Ze nodded and said: "I won't hide it from you, I think you actually have your own purpose as a younger brother, you know that some of our officials are not easy to solve, and we need to have a few reliable assistants by our side." He stared at Xiang Chengdong with a torch in his eyes, and continued: "You are very good, I will be indispensable for your help in the future, recognizing you as a younger brother is a way for me to win you over, if you feel that you are being taken advantage of, then when I haven't said what I said today, you should not hear it, if you think that I Yao Ze can be trusted, then take a cup and drink this glass of wine, and everyone will be brothers in the future." Yao Ze picked up his wine glass.

Xiang Chengdong grinned without hesitation, "Brother, with your calmness, I identify you, anyway, I am single, I don't have any relatives, I have earned a brother, and if there is anything in the future, just tell me." ”

Yao Ze nodded appreciatively, and explained: "I won't let you do murder and arson, but you can't avoid using some special means at special times, just like before, to deal with the director of the city TV station." Thinking of Shen Huimei, the young and beautiful wife of the TV station director, the charming woman who had a one-night stand with him, Yao Ze's heart was a little emotional.

After Yao Ze reminded him, Xiang Chengdong also remembered that he used to secretly take photos of Zhang Guoding's cheating and threaten him with those photos, thinking about it, there are some things that Yao Ze is not suitable for, but he can come forward to solve them, and it is understandable to use some special means at special times, Xiang Chengdong slowly understood what Yao Ze meant.

Yao Zeken treats himself as a confidant, which makes Xiang Chengdong very happy, the two of them drank very late before leaving the restaurant, although Xiang Chengdong was a little drunk, but it did not affect the driving, Yao Ze sat in the back seat, closed his eyes, and began to slowly sort out what had happened recently, this time after leaving Tangshan County, he may be idle for a while, but Yao Ze does not believe that it will be idle forever, after all, Yao Ze is still convinced of Shen Jiangming's strength.

"Chengdong, don't you have a comrade-in-arms with good skills, let him come over to help too." Yao Ze recently watched Houheixue and learned a lot of truths from it, thinking back to the past, he seemed to be too passive in the officialdom, although he was much stronger after arriving in Tangshan County, but it was also a fox and a fake tiger, and then Shen Jiangming's 'potential', to deter Guo Shouyi and others, if you want to mix in the officialdom, it will not work to rely on others all the time, Shen Jiangming is in power, it is good to say, if he retires one day, who will he rely on?

After Yao Ze read Houhei, one of the deepest truths he understood was to mix in officialdom, be dark-hearted, and do things by unscrupulous means, as long as the goal can be achieved, what about using some extraordinary means?

As long as it does not harm the interests of the common people.

Yao Ze seemed to have a big understanding, and his whole state of mind has also changed a lot, it is time to slowly establish his own power, and with two powerful veteran special forces helpers by his side, he will be able to ......

After listening to Yao Ze's words, Xiang Chengdong smiled and said, "He actually wants to follow you too, but he doesn't have a suitable opportunity, and now he is working as a security captain in a shopping mall, and his life is very unsatisfactory." ”

Yao Ze said: "Then you can contact him and tell him what I mean, if you want, I will arrange him in the future, but you have to be voluntary, I don't like to force others." ”

Xiang Chengdong agreed, and just about to turn left with the turn signal, four or five thugs with sticks suddenly rushed out of the street, blocking Xiang Chengdong's way, Xiang Chengdong braked sharply, and the car stopped in front of the five big guys.

Yao Ze was sitting in the back seat, closing his eyes to recuperate, and the sudden braking made Yao Ze lean forward sharply, crashing into the co-pilot's seat, he frowned slightly and looked at the situation outside the car, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiang Chengdong smiled bitterly: "Looking at the situation, I came to find fault." ”

Yao Ze snorted, then took out his mobile phone and called Li Junyang, before the phone was dialed, the people over there had already rushed over and said to Cheng Dong with a straight face: "I'll go out and have a look." ”

Yao Ze had seen Xiang Chengdong's skills, but he was not too worried, and nodded and reminded: "Pay attention to safety." ”

Xiang Chengdong agreed, pushed the car door and walked out, staring at the five people who were coming in front of him, and said coldly: "What do you mean by this?" ”

The middle-aged man with a scar on his face sneered: "Can't you see what we're going to do? I advise you to get out of here, why are you a driver working so hard, I'm looking for the person in the car, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

Xiang Chengdong said with a gloomy face: "Do you know who is in the car? ”

"Flutter." The middle-aged man smiled and said disdainfully, "You fucking stupid? Lao Tzu doesn't know who still stops the car? Even if you don't know anyone, you can see it by looking at the license plate. ”

Xiang Chengdong didn't expect that a small county town would dare to intercept the car of the executive deputy county magistrate this time, although Xiang Chengdong's mind was not so complicated, but it could also be seen that someone wanted to deal with Yao Ze.

It can be seen at a glance that someone has paid thugs to deal with Yao Ze.
