Chapter 357: Years Ago, Years Later

Wen forgave a dry cough, and such a thought did turn in his not-so-pure little head, but the conscience of heaven and earth, the original intention of asking this question was definitely not to go for this answer, and said, "Director Tang, you misunderstood!" ”

Tang Ye ignored him, and the whole person fell into a short silence. Just as Wen Liang was thinking about whether to say something to open up the embarrassing situation, she suddenly said, "Do you still want to ask me what my relationship is with Secretary Yu?" ”

The corners of Wen Liang's mouth twitched, he was indeed curious and guessed, but it didn't mean that he would definitely ask so bluntly, and hurriedly said, "You really misunderstood......"

Tang Ye lightly stopped Wen Yu's explanation, sighed slightly, looked stunned, and said, "I have indeed known Zhuang Shaoxuan for many years......

Her voice fell into a long memory, as if it came slowly from the high mountain clouds, and said: "Six or seven years ago, at that time, he was already the mayor of a county-level city named Danhua City under Chixia City, Huanghuai Province, and was the youngest department-level cadre in Huanghuai at that time. As for me, I am just a small reporter of Chixia Evening News, I have just joined the work, I am full of longing and enthusiasm for the future, and I am also full of little girl-like fantasies about society, and I always think that as long as I work hard, I will one day become a well-known reporter in the country. So no matter what interview I rush to do, hard, tired, remote, offended, no oil and water, others are unwilling to take it, I do my best without complaint. ”

"Later, I found out that this society is very realistic, not that you can get as much as you give, you can't make sycophants, you can't please people, and you don't even turn a blind eye to a certain leader's sexual innuendo, and the situation in the newspaper can be imagined. Remember that year, oh. It was about 88 years, and there was a large-scale human trafficking case in Danhua, and the official case had been closed, but the leaders of the evening newspaper felt that it would be a good news point to do a follow-up report, and they were ready to send someone over. But that village is in the mountains, the road is impassable, the conditions are bad, and it has encountered heavy rain for half a month, and you have to wear knee-high rain boots to walk over the dirt road for dozens of miles, and everyone is unwilling to take this job. So there was no suspense in my place. ”

"A colleague who knows me persuaded me to intercede with the leader, saying that the people in that place are bad customs, and it is enough for male reporters to go, and it is not safe for me to go alone as a girl, and it is not easy to walk on the road. I'm a stupid girl, and I feel that since the leader has spoken, I still have to overcome difficulties and try my best to complete the task. The next day it was not yet dawn. After two days of dry food, he set off alone. ”

Tang Ye's eyes showed a little smile towards his past self, as if he saw the girl in that season again, smart and motivated. Simple, but unable to integrate into this hideous society.

"The road ahead is okay, take the ticket bus first, and then change to a tricycle. Shun Shun lĂŹ Li arrived. But when I got to the dozens of miles of dirt roads, there was no car to get into, so I could only walk step by step by myself. The heavy rain of more than ten days had already turned the dirt road into a swamp. It took a lot of effort to take every step, and before I was halfway there, I sat tired and sat in the mud on the side of the road, my whole body was sore and painful, and I saw that it was getting dark, and there was no pedestrians around, and my heart was anxious and bitter, and tears couldn't help but flow......

"I've never cried so unscrupulously, and I don't even know when seven or eight people came around, but I heard a voice saying to me: 'Comrade, don't worry, there's nothing that can't be solved,' and handed me a gray square handkerchief......"

Tang Ye looked at Wen Liang and said in a low voice, "That was the first time I saw Zhuang Shaoxuan!" ”

Gentle and soft: "I am really happy for you to meet him at that time!" ”

When you are desperate, you may not need much help, just a warm word, a simple action, can make a person out of the trough and reborn.

For Tang Ye, at that moment, it didn't matter if this person was Zhuang Shaoxuan or not! Wen Liang understands this, so he will not be black in the end because he does not deal with Zhuang Shaoxuan, so he does not ask whether it is right or wrong!

Tang Ye smiled, this smile was incomprehensible, and said: "Understand, you may not be a gentleman, but at least you are frank, much better than most men I know." It must be a great joy to be your friend. ”

Wen Liang smiled: "I dare not be ashamed!" ”

"Let's go on, Zhuang Shaoxuan and his entourage came down to investigate the dilapidated houses in various villages and towns because of the heavy rain for several days, and knew that I was a reporter from the evening newspaper, so they invited me to go with them. After so many years, when I think of this night, I often ask myself, is it right or wrong to meet him? If I hadn't met him by chance, I couldn't have predicted what would have happened that night. But on the same night, if I hadn't met him, my life might have been completely different from what I am now......"

Tang Ye's words were full of struggle and confusion, and he said softly and quietly: "But there are no ifs in life, right?" No matter what happens later, at least at that time, you have peace of mind. ”

"yes, that's what you said!" Tang Ye smiled, and continued: "This is our first intersection, one day and one night, I saw a conscientious, hard-working, not afraid of difficulties, everything must be done by the image of a young cadre, and his three years in Danhua are also the three years with the fastest development in Danhua and the best folk customs." ”

"After that, because of work, I met him four or five times, and I gradually got to know him. Occasionally I go to Danhua, he comes to Chixia, and he will also take time to have a meal together, he talks interestingly, behaves elegantly, and is careful and considerate, and it is easy for you to feel close. After a long time, there were rumors in the outside world, and I was worried that it would have a bad impact on him, but he laughed and told me not to worry about it, saying that the rumors stopped at the wise and did not need to be ignored. And my situation at the newspaper inexplicably began to improve, and the leader of the newspaper that had been pestering me was also transferred. But I never complained to him about these things, not a word, but he helped me silently. It's hard not to make a girl's heart flutter with such a person, isn't it? ”

Tang Ye laughed self-deprecatingly: "How good it would be if time could stay at that moment......

Wen forgive so far, all the knowledge of Zhuang Shaoxuan comes from different descriptions of different people, but he may know Zhuang Shaoxuan better than all of them, because in a way, he and him. There are many similarities.

Zhuang Shaoxuan can spend so much thought on Tang Ye, but it is not to vent his desires, then he must have a bigger plan.

"What happened?"

"This has lasted for almost a year, he talked to me about the climate, people, work, and ideals, but it never involved the love between men and women, and the initial excitement has not become a liking, and it has gradually faded. Just when I thought I would be friends all the time, one day he came to Chixia to invite me to dinner, and during the banquet he said that he was about to leave Danhua and return to the capital to work. The new unit is the Development Planning Department of the State Development Planning Commission, with the post of deputy department-level inspector. It was only then that I found out who his father was, and only then did I know that this man I had known for a year was actually a veritable big man. ”

"But that's all, those who are high up are too far away from my life after all, and I sincerely wish him a smooth future from now on, just as this meal is the last meal for the two of them. But he suddenly asked me if I would like to leave Huanghuai to work in Jiangdong, and said that he had offended some people in Danhua in the past few years, and if he left, I would have no one to shelter. It is inevitable that people will deliberately make things difficult. Although I had already gained a foothold in the evening newspaper at that time, I understood, as Zhuang Shaoxuan said, left him. I have nothing to rely on, and I'm never in a much better position than I was when I first started. On the other hand, Koto is my hometown, and my parents and friends are there. Chixia's work experience in the past few years has been more painful than happy for me, if it weren't for Zhuang Shaoxuan's presence, it is likely that I would not have been able to persevere. So after a short period of consideration, I agreed to him. ”

"It didn't take long for my work relationship to be transferred to Guanshan Daily, and he also took over Danhua's work and returned to the capital. After working in Guanshan Daily for two months, I walked out of the building with my colleagues after work, and suddenly saw him standing outside, saying that he was going to take me to an event. It was also there that Zhuang Shaoxuan introduced me to Yu Peidong. ”

"Maybe it's a woman's sensitivity, although it's the first time we've met, I think Secretary Yu's eyes look at me a little differently. Gentle and forgiving, I have never been presumptuous, I am also confident in my own conditions, and there is no shortage of men's pursuit and pursuit around me......"

Wen Liang smiled: "I can prove this!" ”

Tang Ye didn't laugh, his voice began to become indifferent and indifferent, and said: "But I also have self-knowledge, even Zhuang Shaoxuan has known me for so long, and he has never had any non-specific requirements, let alone Yu Peidong, a provincial party secretary. People like them, if they are really in a hurry, how can there be fewer beautiful women? So I thought I was thinking too much, but Zhuang Shaoxuan intentionally or unintentionally explained my personal situation to Yu Peidong, Yu Peidong listened to it with a smile, encouraged me a few words, and walked away under the pretext. ”

After leaving the banquet, Zhuang Shaoxuan seemed very excited, and told me that my work in the Development Planning Department was only a transition, or it would not be long before I would come to the Jiangdong Provincial Planning Commission as deputy director. He also said that he didn't have to come to Jiangdong Province to work, but he missed the time he spent with me very much, but Yu Peidong didn't seem to be a faction with the forces behind him, and it was difficult to work here, so I hope I can help him......"

Wen Liang stretched out his hand and patted the back of Tang Ye's already cold hand gently, and said, "What can you help him?" Besides, if you really want to use women, isn't there a big person in Dangong Mile than you? Why bother with you? ”

"Where did I think of these at that time," Tang Ye's eyes flashed with a sneer: "It was also a long time later that I realized that the only reason why Zhuang Shaoxuan chose me was not because I was more beautiful than others, but because my appearance, temperament and conversation were six or seven points similar to Yu Peidong's deceased wife!" ”

Wen Yu suddenly realized that Zhuang Shaoxuan's hand was extremely ingenious, which can be said to be indispensable, it is really well-intentioned and far-reaching, so people have to say a word!

Yu Peidong's family affairs have always been a big gossip in Jiangdong officialdom, he lost his wife more than ten years ago when he was in the prime of life, it is said that he and his wife are childhood sweethearts, very affectionate, married for many years and never blushed, respectful of each other, but because of a car accident, heaven and man are separated. In the next ten years, Yu Peidong did not continue until four or five years ago, when his sadness faded away, and considering his physical reasons and career prospects, he married a widowed university professor under the care of the leader, but the feelings between them should be extremely weak.

And Tang Ye's sentence just now, "Yu Peidong doesn't seem to be a faction with them" contains a huge amount of information, and people who are not well versed in the domestic situation and the background of the characters may not understand, but fortunately, they are more or less involved in this life, and they know more than ordinary people!

Yu Peidong went to Beijing in September last year to attend the Fifth Plenary Session of the 14 th CPC Central Committee, and after the meeting, he stayed in Beijing for half a month and did not return, causing turmoil in Jiangdong, and I don't know how many people had different thoughts. And Qingzhou Zhou Yuanting's strong arrogance and Xu Fuyan's forbearance are actually related to this.

The root cause is because of the thrilling political reshuffle at the highest level in early 95, the two pillars of the Beijing system were uprooted, and the aftermath of the open and secret did not know how many people were implicated. And Yu Peidong, as the local cadre of the old Beijing department, was able to be in the whirlpool and finally unharmed, so that those people in Jiangdong who were about to move completely shattered their glasses.

If I didn't guess wrong, as early as a few years before the start of the Beijing system, Zhuang Maoxun, who was a military advisor and brain center, began to carry out a comprehensive strategy against the local forces of the Beijing system, and as his only son, Zhuang Shaoxuan, who has always had high hopes and was amazed, was obviously given the most arduous mission - Yu Peidong's bone is not so easy to gnaw.

From ancient times to the present, all power struggles are nothing more than this, if you want to remove the backbone, you must first cut its branches and leaves, Zhuang Maoxun is called the old fox by his opponents, and he is known for his wisdom, these methods are his forte. And how arrogant and powerful the Beijing system has been in the past ten years, but it has been ploughed and swept overnight, and there is no foreshadowing for a few years, so I really don't believe it.

And Tang Ye is just Zhuang Shaoxuan throwing stones at Yu Peidong to ask for directions, showing that his attitude and intentions have little to do with Tang Ye himself!

But just this stepping stone can make Zhuang Shaoxuan spend a year to bury the thread and lay it out, which really makes people shudder to think about it.

"I said yes, but I didn't know what to do. He told me very casually, as long as I found more time to report to Secretary Yu. I couldn't understand what qualifications I could have as a small reporter to report to Secretary Yu, but I didn't expect that a few days later, at a relatively important meeting, a leader of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee named Guanshan Daily to send me to participate...... I realized that many things were out of my mind and out of my knowledge. ”

(Regarding the timeline of Zhuang Shaoxuan's personal experience, you can review Chapter 118 of Volume 4)

(This pit has been dug at the beginning of this book, and friends who are not impressed can look for it.) But for me, being able to do it seamlessly after two million words is a personal feeling of fulfillment)

(However, according to the convention, all the chapters that I think are good, the results are more miserable, so let's be cautious) (to be continued......)
