"Xiao Fang, do you have time?"

Fang Shi just came out of Niuniu's house, and was stopped by Wen Lao at the elevator entrance, Wen Lao's voice was very low, half of the door was open, and the sneaky appearance of sticking out his head made Fang Shi feel a little funny, Wen Lao was worried about being seen by Niuniu, didn't he know that Niuniu had been taken to the bath by her mother.

This old man is also interesting, in order to be able to see his granddaughter every day, not only moved to this rental house to live, but also lived and rested completely according to his granddaughter's time.

Fang Shi could probably guess what Elder Wen was going to say to him, smiled and turned around and entered the next room.

There is basically no furniture in the room, the life of the old man is very simple, Fang Shi has a sense of intimacy, because his own home is also like this, and the most things in the room are also books, but Wen Lao sees all philosophy and history, and Fang Shi only studies the Taoist Zang Shu Zang, at most it is to see the four books and five classics, and the hundred schools of thought.

"Xiao Fang, sit down, I'm relatively simple here, I'll pour you tea."

"You're welcome, let you pour me tea, I'm embarrassed, you can sit down."

Wen Lao still politely poured a cup of tea for Fang Shi, Wen Lao poured tea is also very interesting, took two celadon cups with lids, threw some tea leaves, and then boiled water to the inside, covered the lid, put it in front of Fang Shi, and the tea was good.

Fang Shi picked up the tea with a smile, opened the lid and smelled it, the tea is a good tea, and the old man is not bad for money, but it is useless to drink tea like this, but this way of drinking tea is very nostalgic. Fang Shi reminded him of the days in middle school when he went to the teacher's office every day to report. That's how those teachers drink tea. Fang Shi also rubbed it for a while.

"Xiao Fang, I was entrusted to you by someone."

Fang Shi nodded unexpectedly, he still likes Wen Lao's straightforward Fang Shi very much, although he doesn't like to deal with Wen Lao, but he still respects Wen Lao's personality Fang Shi, Wen Lao is a real person with lofty ideals, such a person may make you feel uncomfortable, or feel stubborn, difficult to communicate. But you can't deny the spirit with which he fought for his ideals, and that spirit is extremely precious to all of us.

"You say, I can probably guess."

Wen Lao looked at Fang Shi carefully for a while, and then said with a little emotion: "From the first time I saw you, I felt that your child was not ordinary, otherwise, my precious granddaughter might not be able to save it." ”

Fang Shi nodded calmly, there was no need to be too modest in front of Elder Wen, his character was so serious. You are humble and think you are hypocritical.

"I'm not trying to say that there is some ambiguity between us, even if there is. That's what our Wen family owes you. ”

Fang Shi raised his hand: "Old Wen, I have to say this, the Wen family doesn't owe me anything, yes, I did save Niuniu's life, but Niuniu also gave me a lot of precious gifts, so that I can experience a lot of joy that is usually difficult to feel, so what I give to Niuniu is not a favor, but a love, relatively, Niuniu reciprocated me with more of her love, so the Wen family is not inferior to me." ”

Wen Lao smiled: "Okay, I understand, I won't mention this matter in the future." ”

"That's the best, Brother Wen doesn't seem to understand, you always tell him, don't seem to owe me anything all day long, in that case, I don't dare to call him Brother Wen."

"Well, that kid is too philistine, I can't help it."

"Hehe, that's what you can say about him."

Wen Lao smiled and waved his hand and said: "Let's get down to business, I don't know what you've done recently, and Lao Yang didn't say much, but I can probably guess based on the news from all sides, in general, I think you did it right, no matter who is right or wrong, you can't harm the people, it's a matter of principle." ”

"Well, if only everyone in the government thought like you!"

"Hehe, I believe that most people think so, in fact, the reason is very simple, our power and interests come from the people, and we cannot separate from them, this is a matter of principle, otherwise it will change."

Fang Shi nodded, after this period of contact with the people in the government, Fang Shi also thought a lot, and now as soon as Wen Lao said it, Fang Shi believed it, no matter what the people in power thought in private, they couldn't violate the principles that Wen Lao said, otherwise, there was only one way to fail.

"But officialdom has the rules of officialdom, and there will be no less selfish distractions, which I admit, especially when dealing with ordinary people, in individual cases, bureaucrats have a great advantage, so they will have this kind of high-minded thinking. Of course, it's hard to say that this mode of thinking is wrong, a person who is used to thinking from a high level, you have to have a civilian mind, this requirement is not okay. Even if he understands emotionally, he can't act on it. ”

Fang Shi pouted: "You mean, individuals should obey the overall situation?" However, I was clearly unwilling. ”

Wen Lao smiled: "That's right, contradictions always exist, we can't close our eyes and not see and then treat it as if it doesn't exist, it will really disappear by itself, since the contradiction objectively exists, then you tell me, how to solve this contradiction?" ”

"Of course yes, uh, it should be preferential treatment for the disadvantaged."

"Hehe, you are looking at the problem from your own standpoint."

"Of course, I can only speak for myself!"

Wen Lao nodded: "You are right, and you are a strong group compared to ordinary people, so what do you think the government should do as a manager and a balancer of interests?" ”

Fang Shi thought for a while, sighed and said, "Old Wen, are you really from the police system?" ”

"Well, of course, for a lifetime."

"Then you must be a political commissar, right?"

"haha, I have always been in charge of business, starting from the criminal police, and I have risen step by step, and I really haven't been a political commissar."

"Tsk, I found that you are too good at ideological work, and I also eat by mouth, but compared to you, it seems that it is not enough to see!"

"That's because what I say is reasonable, unless you overturn it, and. Helping the disadvantaged is still your own reasoning. Can you still swallow it back? ”

Fang Shi smiled: "I think." Since the contradiction can't be solved, then you might as well let it go and ease it first, there is no need to sacrifice anyone, shijie itself is made of yin and yang, and without the contradiction, shijie does not exist. ”

"That's right, but the contradictions can only be eased, not intensified, especially this kind of contradictions. The triangular relationship between warlocks and ordinary people, warlocks and the government, and between the government and the common people cannot be intensified, and once it is intensified, the three parties are prone to confrontation, so on the premise that the contradictions cannot be completely eliminated, they can only find ways to ease the contradictions and find ways to coexist. ”

"Like Guangfa Temple?"

"Yes. This model has been formed after many years of running-in, do you think it is not appropriate? ”

"I am an individual. It's not Guangfa Temple. ”

"Do you think that as an administrative agency, we should effectively communicate with each warlock with a different personality individually in order to form an individualized relationship?"

Fang Shi smiled bitterly, if the government has this kind of efficiency, then this government is really invincible in the world.

"Well, I admit that the two sides must understand each other, and in fact, there is no essential contradiction between me and the government at all."

Wen Lao nodded: "I understand and believe this, but can others believe it?" What's more, if you put aside your motives, the first time you made a move, you helped Shen to bring down the opponent, but the second time you directly overturned Shen, are you meddling in the affairs of the government? ”

Fang Shi has nothing to say, yes, putting aside his motives, this is true, but his motive is obviously not to meddle in the affairs of the government, the problem is that who knows his motives, who wants to believe his innocence?

At the end of the day, most of the problems between people come from misunderstandings and doubts.

Fang Shi spread his hands and had nothing to say.

Wen Lao took a sip of tea and moistened his throat and said: "Your cooperation with Guangfa Temple this time has indeed deepened the understanding between the two sides to a certain extent, and from this point of view, it is a good thing, but this posture is a little too high-profile, and there is a feeling of persecuting the government, which is not good." ”

Fang Shi was stunned, and looked at Wen Lao with some suspicion, Wen Lao smiled slightly: "I'm saying it from your standpoint, do you believe it?" ”

Fang Shi nodded: "You said it, I naturally believe it." ”

Wen Lao nodded with satisfaction: "Politics is a kind of learning, similar to being a man, butchers know that the most difficult thing is not hard bones, but hob meat, politics is the pursuit of hob meat, not the pursuit of becoming a bone or that knife, constant compromise, communication, squeezing, collision, zuihou to achieve their own goals, this is politics." ”

"Isn't it good to make knives?"

"What's so good about making a knife, aren't you a learner? Don't you know that balance is king, and moderation is the right way? ”

"I see, you mean"

"Appropriate weakness, your value is now understood by everyone, what is needed now is your attitude, so that they feel that you are harmless, and even advantageous in a certain situation, that's it, isn't this also your original face."

"You're not done yet, are you?"

"Well, they want you to take on a consulting position with a non-governmental environmental monitoring and consulting organization, what do you think?"

"Is this an intake?"

Wen Lao didn't speak, just looked at Fang Shi quietly, Fang Shi frowned, emotionally speaking, Fang Shi didn't like this name, taking this name was like bowing to the government, as a small person from the end of the world, Fang Shi was born with a negative view of the government, it seems that it is quite a shame to be obedient to the people, this kind of idea is a little inexplicable, but Fang Shi really has this idea.

"What are the responsibilities of the advisors to this advisory organization?"

"Suggestions and inquiries to the government regarding environmental changes, disasters, and adverse expectations within Pengcheng are subject to consultation, of course, on a voluntary basis."

Fang Shi hesitated: "What if I refuse?" ”

"Refusal will not be good, but it will leave a label of instability in the government and leave a seed of distrust. Fangshi, the operation of this society is regulated by the rules of the subject, and the rules are maintained by the government, and everyone must act within this rule, that is, to abide by the law, are you law-abiding? Is it a shame to obey the law? ”

Fang Shi's eyes lit up, stared at Wen Lao and asked, "The government also has to abide by the law, right?" ”

"Yes!"

"I think I understand, I accept the position." (To be continued......)
