"Brother Chu, I like you!" With the help of this sip of wine, Su Youyu said this sentence that even Chu Tianshu didn't expect, and his cheeks suddenly flushed.

Chu Tianshu's eyes widened, looked at Su Youyu's slightly misty eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Youyu, you drank too much." ”

"No, I'm sober, I know what I'm talking about." Su Youyu played with the goblet and whispered: "Brother Chu, I know that you have a girlfriend, it doesn't matter, you can dislike me, but you can't stop me from liking you." Don't be afraid, it's that pure like, it doesn't have to be married to you. ”

"But...... It's not appropriate, we don't talk about that, okay? Chu Tianshu didn't know how to persuade this infatuated girl for a while.

Su Youyu turned around, and asked rhetorically: "Does it matter if you talk about it?" ”

Chu Tianshu knew that Su Youyu couldn't be cured by persuasion and education, so he had to put on a straight face and say, "Xiao Su, if you want to talk about this matter again, I will remove you from the drafting team." ”

"Oh, leader, how can you do this?" Su Youyu was really anxious, she said aggrievedly: "I can't like it for a while, it's too unemotional." ”

Chu Tianshu said: "I promised to come, it was very emotional." Isn't it? ”

Su Youyu pouted, her expression a little gloomy.

Chu Tianshu raised his glass, touched her, and said, "Okay, Youyu, it's rare to have a chance to go clubbing, don't be unhappy." ”

Su Youyu said: "I can't be happy. ”

Chu Tianshu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Su Youyu hesitated, lowered his head, and said softly: "They said that after the New Year, Mayor Yi became the mayor, and you should also be released." I can't be happy when I think that no one will care about me and help me in the future. ”

Chu Tianshu smiled: "Youyu, you're stupid." You should be happier like you said. You are capable and willing to work, I'm leaving, isn't the director of the Second Comprehensive Division yours? ”

"Not really." Su Youyu raised his head and said, "I'm the deputy director now, without your help, where would I be able to get my turn?" Let's take a look at Lao Tan in one place, who has been in the city government for decades, and his ability is weaker than anyone, but one has changed seven or eight directors, if it weren't for your generosity this time, he also didn't count on it. ”

Chu Tianshu thought about it, Su Youyu's words were really right.

People outside feel that being a secretary in the city government office can contact leaders every day, and there are a lot of opportunities for promotion.

As everyone knows, most of the people who are close to the water are those who follow the right leader, have some background, and can sneak around, and most of them are really like Tan Guangde, but not only did not get the opportunity, but were also pressed in place and couldn't move.

Thinking so in my heart, I still have to say: "Youyu, you are too pessimistic, not as serious as you imagined, right?" ”

"Why not? The reality is much more serious than I thought. Su Youyu pointed to an empty plate and said a little excitedly: "Power is like this plate of dim sum, those who have power are divided, and what is left is just a little scum." A marginalized character like me, you still have to see a little slag, and when you leave, I'm afraid you're going to be swept away. ”

Chu Tianshu understood that Su Youyu was worried about his future.

This is normal. When a person enters the officialdom, he is like a pawn who has crossed a river, and he can only desperately arch a road forward, hoping to change his identity and destiny in a certain chess game.

Chu Tianshu comforted: "Youyu, you're a little too worried. Even if I'm gone, Mayor Yi is still there, Secretary General Huang is still there, and they won't turn a blind eye to your ability. ”

Su Youyu shook his head, sighed softly, and said, "Brother Chu, as I said, I can't reach Mayor Yi, and Secretary General Huang can't count on it." They are all talking about it, I am your person in the city government. ”

Chu Tianshu immediately said, "Don't talk nonsense. ”

Su Youyu glanced at Chu Tianshu resentfully, and said, "Do you really not know the Dao or pretend not to know the Dao?" ”

Chu Tianshu asked, "What do I know?" ”

"Ugh." Su Youyu let out a sigh of relief and said, "They said that if I can be the deputy director of the Second Comprehensive Division and enter the drafting team of the work report, you are taking care of me." ”

Chu Tianshu said angrily: "Nonsense. They are jealous. ”

"Don't be angry, there's something more infuriating than that." Su Youyu said: "Someone said in private, why does Chu Tianshu want to take care of Su Youyu? ”

Chu Tianshu asked, "For what?" ”

"Because," Su Youyu paused and said, "Because they got together when they were in the headquarters, Su Youyu was already Chu Tianshu's person." ”

Chu Tianshu said: "These guys, the more they talk, the more they don't talk. ”

Su Youyu said: "I know you won't believe it, but some people think so." Because, they have seen this phenomenon too much. ”

Chu Tianshu said dissatisfiedly: "What did they all see? ”

"Leader, wow, there are some things they won't tell you." Su Youyu said: "They saw Ouyang Meimei, deputy director of the Jiangbei Development Zone, Fan Qingqing, the general manager of the Qingyuan Hotel, Shu Yifan, the deputy director of the Propaganda Department, and ......."

Chu Tianshu was too lazy to listen to Su Youyu's chatter, and scolded secretly in his heart, there is always such a group of boring people in the agency, they can't be promoted by themselves, not to work hard to show themselves, but to look at other people with colored glasses, talking nonsense, and pouring sewage on all the female cadres, these guys deserve to be old fritters in the agency for the rest of their lives.

Chu Tianshu stopped Su Youyu and said, "Youyu, you are still young, don't follow them to learn to chew the root of your tongue." ”

Su Youyu said, "Yes." Because I'm still young, I can't wait until I'm white like Lao Tan, and I'm just an old secretary in the city government's office. What Ouyang Meimei and Fan Qingqing can do, I Su Youyu can also do. ”

Chu Tianshu asked unceremoniously, "Do you know what they have done?" ”

Su Youyu said: "What Ouyang Meimei did, you should know better than me, I didn't come at that time, I don't talk nonsense, but I know exactly what Fan Qingqing did." ”

Su Youyu said that Fan Qingqing was just an ordinary handyman in the municipal government office, and before and after Zhu Minwen was promoted to the secretary of the municipal party committee, he ran all the way to become the director of the reception office of the municipal government office, and concurrently served as the general manager of Qingyuan Hotel.

It is rumored that Zhu Minwen drank too much wine at a reception banquet and stayed at the Qingyuan Hotel, Fan Qingqing was arranged to clean up the mess, and then never came out. Whether this matter is true or not, no one has seen it with their own eyes, so it was only after Fan Qingqing was promoted that it spread in a small area, and they did not dare to let the leaders know.

Chu Tianshu said: "Who are you listening to?" ”

Su Youyu said: "Who did I listen to? You may not believe it. That could have been my seat. ”

Chu Tianshu asked, "Yours?" For what? ”

Su Youyu said: "Huang Rushan originally arranged for me to go, but I didn't agree. ”

Chu Tianshu was secretly taken aback, and blurted out: "Is this true? ”

Su Youyu smiled bitterly and said, "Officialdom has its explicit rules and its unspoken rules. ”

In a word, Chu Tianshu was speechless.

All officialdom phenomena seem to be explained in this sentence.

But he couldn't follow her words, or she would have to pull it on himself again.

Chu Tianshu said: "Youyu, since you know that there are clear rules and unspoken rules, I believe you will make the right choice." ”

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have refused Huang Rushan's arrangement." Su Youyu said: "In fact, in the face of the rules, there is only one way for ordinary people like me to go, and that is to adapt to the rules, including the unspoken rules. ”

Chu Tianshu secretly complained, thinking that Su Youyu would be able to distinguish right from wrong, but unexpectedly, she still didn't come out. He said solemnly: "Youyu, don't think nonsense, as long as you do it right, no one can force you to accept the unspoken rules." ”

Su Youyu said: "Officialdom is like a shopping mall, and if you want to get benefits, you must follow the principle of equivalent exchange. And the power and money color is the common currency of this market, and I don't have the first two, only the third one. However, I would not exchange with some dirty people, and I felt that would be an insult to both my personality and my intelligence. I think that if I am put in front of me by their unspoken rules and raped by them, I would rather choose the latter. ”

Chu Tianshu joked: "According to your statement, I have no power, money, and color, so am I miserable?" ”

Su Youyu seemed to expect Chu Tianshu to say this, and she immediately retorted: "That's not right! In the power field, there are always two kinds of people, one is the one who is submerged, and the other is the one who submerges others, and you are the latter. ”

Chu Tianshu immediately laughed and said, "You are talking nonsense again, why should I?" ”

Su Youyu said: "There is no reason for this, I just think so." Or, this is the self-consciousness of a woman. ”

I really didn't expect Su Youyu to be so frank and straightforward. Although Chu Tianshu did not admit that he had the power of unspoken rules, there was one thing he understood, Su Youyu was showing him an attitude, if she had to exchange sex, she was willing to exchange with Chu Tianshu, not others, not even Zhu Minwen.

Chu Tianshu divided the last bit of cocoa wine, picked up the wine glass, raised it in front of her, and said, "Youyu, I'm not a woman, I don't understand any woman's intuition. But I think intuition can sometimes be very unreliable. ”

Su Youyu smiled charmingly, clinked a glass with him, and said, "Yes, sometimes it's unreliable." That said, sometimes it's reliable. ”

Chu Tianshu drank all the wine in the cup and said, "No matter whether it is reliable or not in others, there is one thing I can tell you clearly, it must be unreliable in me." ”

For Chu Tianshu's clear refusal, Su Youyu did not show disappointment, but drank a glass of wine like Chu Tianshu, and said with a smile: "Hehe, looking at the justice on your face, it seems that I want to untact you." ”

Chu Tianshu smiled easily.

Su Youyu paid the bill, and Chu Tianshu sent her home.

Along the way, Su Youyu held Chu Tianshu's arm and talked about a lot of people and things at work, but never mentioned the topic of unspoken rules.
