In silence, Zhou Li seriously pondered Uncle Yun's words, digested the information in them, and reacted after a long time: "It's really not easy for him, but what does this have to do with me?" ”

Uncle Yun gave him another blank look, "It's almost there, can you let me finish speaking?" Don't interrupt. ”

Zhou Li nodded helplessly, Uncle Yun didn't hear him continue to talk badly, his mood was a little better, and he continued: "The upper authorities want to help him get to the top, but a part of the bureau doesn't want him to become the director of the bureau - those who are capable cannot lose their independence, nor can they become politicians. right tools.

In fact, most people are like this, once they have the power, it is impossible to endure the constraints of the system like everyone else...... This is the knot that cannot be untied. It is impossible for them to accept Chen Nanchao, who has such a strong government background, to ascend to the throne. ”

Zhou Li vaguely understood something: "So? ”

"So, there are people who want to throw him out and send him far away, to be a lord who sticks to one place. It looks like a separation, but in fact, it is the rise and fall of the sky, keeping him away from the core of this right. Since then, the director has nothing to do with him. ”

Uncle Yun paused and looked at the silent Zhou Li: "Now you understand, right?" Where is the fief chosen for him? ”

Zhou Li looked at him silently, and finally understood in his heart: "Just in Shangyang? ”

"That's right, it's almost semi-public, and the entire relevant department knows about it. It's not clear to you...... You deserve it, whoever made you reluctant to contact me all along, I want to tell you that these things are okay. As a result, when you said that you wanted to be the lord of Shangyang, you just hit this muzzle, who do you blame? ”

Zhou Li was surprised for a while, and he took a turn around this matter, but it fell on his head again? Why is it all this kind of lately? This made him feel irritated for a while: "Zhu Sheng wants to kill me because of this?" What bullshit logic! ”

Uncle Yun couldn't help but laugh gloatingly: "Think about it, Chen Nanchao was originally very beautiful, but now he has been suppressed, and he has to be sent out to be a lord...... years of hard work is not only in vain, but also can't make a good profit, this matter is enough to be aggrieved, but as a result, another person jumped out, so that he can't even be a rich man......"

Zhou Li couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "Dry ...... Who the came up with this idea? ”

"The old director, the former most capable person in the country, what? Do you have an opinion? ”

"I didn't say it." Zhou Li couldn't help but roll his eyes: "You can't change one?" ”

Uncle Yun threw a skeptical look at him: "You can figure it out, this place is not just a random map and draw a circle with your eyes closed." There are too many levels and people involved, I don't know how many times I negotiated before it was decided to Shangyang, do you think you can change it if you want to? ”

Zhou Li was finally helpless, it seemed that he and Chen Nanchao could only continue these several 'reinforced concrete beams', and they could encounter so many things when applying for a lord for some reason.

Looking at his helpless expression, Uncle Yun encouraged him with a smile: "Or, do you want to change places?" ”

Zhou Li didn't bother to roll his eyes, where did he say that he could change it in a different place? He doesn't have a problem running around the world with a small package; But the problem is that if you want to change, it's not just yourself.

Shangyang is the foundation of a starting point for himself, and it is impossible to give it to others no matter what. Besides, he is on the opposite side of Chen Nanchao, and when he becomes a lord, he can still give himself good fruits to eat? The lord has the right to expel those who have the power in the territory, and it is above board, and no one can interfere.

Only on this issue, Zhou Li can't take a step back, not a single step.

Looking at the torrential rain outside the cabin, Zhou Li decided not to think about these troublesome things after being silent for a long time, the change of the 'relevant departments' is just a rumor now, and the real change will not be carried out until around April next year.

Anyway, after the New Year, he decided to go to Zhonghai, whether it was the commission of the talisman or the repair of the burning...... Enough trouble, he's not bad for this one.

recalled that after he decided to let Fu Xiu continue to receive treatment, his assets had shrunk by more than half, and he had a headache; Things he seems to have encountered lately are always strange, and he feels like he can't get too busy.

After he decided to put this question aside for a while, Zhou Li noticed that Uncle Yun had only said four of the five candidates, and suddenly asked with some confusion: "Isn't there another one?" ”

"What one?"

Zhou Li thought for a moment: "That Lu Hua ...... What's going on? ”

"Lu Huaxu? Indeed, he is the strongest ......"

Uncle Yun was stunned for a moment, and this time what appeared on his face was an out-and-out bitter look. After a long silence, he flicked off the cigarette butt in his hand and asked in a low voice: "Do you hope that a person who is in the late stage of Mohs syndrome and may die suddenly at any time will become the director of the 'relevant department'?" ”

Zhou Li fell silent, and it was Mohs syndrome again...... Isn't there not a single case of this thing in 10,000 capable people? Why has it been happening so frequently lately?

After another headache, he sighed and rubbed his swollen head, and whispered, "Okay, one last question...... Then why don't you do it yourself? Your qualifications should be enough, right? ”

"Well, indeed, that's enough."

Uncle Yun suddenly laughed, nodded seriously and said, "It's a pity that I retired with the old director." ”

, it's all up to you guys anyway! Why don't you do it when Mao arrives at such a critical time?

Zhou Li focused his resentful gaze on him, but Uncle Yun looked around as if he hadn't seen anything, gulping on the cigarette he didn't know where to buy, and then accidentally smoked too much and coughed violently.

Looking at his painful appearance, Zhou Li hugged his hands and learned to be like him, showing a calm expression that he didn't see anything.

Cough up you old bastard, don't expect me to help you get through this time.

It didn't take long for the silent and wordless return journey to begin.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when the plane returned to Shangyang, it was already noon the next day, and Uncle Yun and the others were going to return to Zhonghai directly, so they didn't get off the plane, but just left after putting down Zhou Li.

The rain had stopped by now, and the sky was so clear that it looked like it had been wiped with a rag after being sprayed with a little detergent by God, and there was not a single speck to be found.

Before leaving, Wu Jiangshan, who had always been ashamed, patted Zhou Li's shoulder and said nothing. Fan Dongliu gave him the number quite enthusiastically, and asked him to call him next time he went to Zhonghai, and he would definitely take him for a good time when the time came.

Zhou Li stood on the airport, watching the helicopter rise into the sky, looking up at the sunlight in the sky and the dark shadows in the distance, and suddenly felt that everything last night was extremely unreal.

After touching his pocket, he realized that although his wallet was soaked, fortunately all the money in it could still be spent. Stopped a taxi with a ** look, he decided to go home and change his clothes first, and then he had enough of this clothes.

Halfway through, he turned on his phone and saw several text messages and missed calls - two from Lu's landline, two from Lu Wanshui, one asking if he could come back in the morning, and one telling him that he had gone shopping.

The owner's sister sent a text message complaining that the weather was too bad and told him to be careful of catching a cold. Zhou Li smiled and replied to the two of them, saying that he had returned.

After doing it, his mobile phone vibrated again, and after seeing the letter number, he was stunned for a moment, it turned out to be Uncle Yun who had just been sent away:

Wu Jiangshan felt that part of Zhu Sheng's fault was on him this time. Although this guy looks fat, he is thin-skinned, and he is embarrassed to apologize to you, and just told me that he wants to transfer the salary for this mission to you. I don't have a lot of money, so I'll say yes for you. ”

Zhou Li smiled and replied: "It's just that there is a shortage of money, so I won't push it out, the fat man is a good person, why don't you share it with me?" ”

Uncle Yun's reply came quickly, concise and to the point, with only one word - 'Get out.' ’

Tsk, look at the way you slam the door.

Zhou Li sighed helplessly: It seems that I covet your money.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh that he had a lot of thicker skin recently, but it didn't matter, he was shameless anyway.

It was only after returning home, taking a shower, and changing his clothes that he felt a lot more comfortable.

After leaving a note for Lu Qiaoshui, he went out again and went straight to the café.

The business in the store is as always, the peak period has just passed, and Li Zijin, who is leisurely, sits in front of the window and flips through the book that has been spoiled by Zhou Li...... Because of this book, Zhou Li has been under her eyes for the past two days. But someone thinks it doesn't matter, as always, I feel that the boss sister is the boss sister, and there is a feeling of charm when I roll my eyes.

Wei Zai was the same as before, practicing boxing in the backyard one by one, and after seeing Zhou Li come back, he just nodded, and then continued to practice boxing and stood on the pile, like a master outside the world, looking down on Hongchen.

Zhou Li said hello, and after inspecting the circle, he found that everything was as always, and the cold thoughts in his heart that had lasted from last night to the present began to thaw, and it seemed that the sun was shining a lot.

In the end, he yawned and sat next to Li Zijin, basking in the bright sunlight outside the window, leaning lazily on the sofa, and his body always slid in the direction of Li Zijin intentionally or unintentionally. After Li Zijin pushed him back several times, he finally reluctantly let him lean on himself.

Rarely without rubbing oil, Zhou Li relied on Li Zijin beside him, yawned sleepily, and said in a low voice: "I'm back." ”

Sniffing the familiar smell, he showed a soft smile, which slowly relaxed the nerves that had been tense, and he felt a sense of sleepiness.

"Sleep as soon as you come back." Li Zijin muttered in a low voice, looked at his quiet expression, showed a smile, and complained in a low voice: "Still so lazy." ”

Zhou Li didn't open his eyes, but changed to a more comfortable position, and said in a low voice: "I'm a little sleepy, I'll sleep for a while, and then wake me up later." ”

"Hmm." Li Zijin nodded slightly, closed the page in his hand, and motioned to the clerk to turn down the sound of the music.

In the quiet and soft soothing piano sound, she quietly looked at Zhou Li's quiet expression, and couldn't help but reach out and brush away the hair blocking his forehead, revealing a smile.

"Good work."

She murmured in a voice that only she could hear.
