Regarding Xiang Tianliang's late-night visit, Lu Haibin was both surprised and seemed to have expected it.

As far as the feeling in his heart is concerned, Lu Haibin does not like Xiang Tianliang, he is not disgusted with the rise of young people, he is stained with the light of youth, and now he has just turned 42 years old, and he was already a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and head of the propaganda department three years ago, and among the cadres of the same level in Qinghe City, he can already rank in the top ten in terms of age.

But Xiang Tianliang is too young, only twenty-four years old, it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the word ru stinky and not dry, at such an age, what kind of fame can he do in the post of deputy county magistrate?

What's more, as soon as Xiang Tianliang came, he made a "chaotic fist" shot, pushing Deputy Secretary Li Zhang into the abyss.

Li Zhang is Lu Haibin's fellow countryman, brother, confidant, and also the guide for his own career, but also his political ally.

Therefore, Lu Haibin had a little resentment towards Xiang Tianliang in his heart.

The power to adjust cadres at and above the deputy section level is in the hands of the county standing committee, and as one-eleventh, Lu Haibin is of course also the goal of all parties.

But this time it was different, Li Zhang collapsed, and Lu Haibin lost his "protective umbrella", so he simply left it alone and closed the door.

From the eighth day of the first lunar month to the present, Lu Haibin has only received two people at home, Jiang Jianwen, executive deputy county magistrate, and Shao Sanhe, director of the public security bureau, and Xu Yuguang, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, went to the office to find him.

Jiang Jianwen still talks about the damn pile of manuscripts, and intimidation is the core theme.

Shao Sanhe is both soft and hard, with needles hidden in the cotton, and sugar in the carrot.

Lu Haibin is hesitating, to be exact, he has not yet decided which side to vote for.

And Xiang Tianliang was able to come to the door to win support, Lu Haibin did not expect that an extraordinary committee came to the Standing Committee to discuss personnel adjustments, and the weight was a little lighter.

It was Zhang Han who called first and woke up Lu Haibin and Jia Huilan, and then went in first.

Zhang Han didn't mention the manuscript, only said that Xiang Tianliang wanted to visit Lu Haibin and was waiting in the car outside.

Lu Haibin didn't agree immediately, before this, he and Xiang Tianliang had almost no communication, he knew Xiang Tianliang's intention, but he didn't know why Xiang Tianliang said that he moved.

In order to protect yourself, after paying, you can't do without a certain return.

Jia Huilan whispered beside him: "Old Lu, everyone is outside the door, you must meet you." ”

"It's none of your business." Lu Haibin glared at Jia Huilan, still weighing the pros and cons.

Zhang Han said with a smile: "I said Lao Lu, I can't help but give my face." ”

"Eldest sister, do you know Xiang Tianliang very well?" Lu Haibin asked.

Of course, Zhang Han's face has to be given, she is Jia Huilan's most haode friend, and she is also the Lu family's most haode friend.

"Lao Lu, Xiang Tianliang and my Qiao Rui are high school classmates, not only at the same table, but also good friends, and now they often correspond."

Lu Haibin sighed.

Jia Huilan said: "I met Deputy County Magistrate Xiang in the hospital, I think he is a good young man." ”

Lu Haibin smiled bitterly, whether to support Jiang Jianwen, follow Xu Yuguang's advice, or help Xiang Tianliang, or stay neutral, this step is not easy to take.

"Invite him in."

Zhang Han took out his mobile phone and dialed Xiang Tianliang's mobile phone, but there was no conversation.

Xiang Tianliang entered the door.

"Minister Lu, Doctor Jia, I'm sorry to disturb me late at night."

Lu Haibin saw the plastic bag in Xiang Tianliang's hand at a glance, and he was stunned for a moment.

"...... to the deputy county magistrate"

Isn't this your own manuscript?

"Minister Lu, please call me by my name, everyone calls me that." Xiang Tianliang said with a smile.

Lu Haibin was still flustered, but Jia Huilan was still by his side, reaching out and stabbing him.

"Ah, Comrade Tianliang, please take a seat, please take a seat."

Said xiexie to the dawn, and then sat down on the couch.

The man smoked cigarettes, the hostess served tea, and he was busy for several minutes.

"Minister Lu, I didn't bother you, did I?" Xiang Tianliang asked with a smile.

"I didn't bother, I didn't bother, Xiang Deputy County Governor is here, Lu is a canopy."

Excessive politeness will hinder the communication between the two sides, Zhang Han said with a smile: "They are all people who work together in the courtyard, why be so polite, I think one is called Tianliang and the other is called Lao Lu, is it natural." ”

"I agree." Lu Haibin looked at Xiang Tian and nodded.

"Then I'll be respectful and obey."

The theme is still Jia Huilan, she pointed to the plastic bag at Xiang Tianliang's feet and asked, "Tianliang, the things in your bag are Lao Lu's manuscripts, right?" ”

Xiang Tianliang didn't answer immediately, but glanced at Zhang Han beside him and smiled slightly.

Lu Haibin hurriedly said: "It's okay, you might as well believe it, Sister Zhang is her own person, she not only knows about the manuscript, but also other things in our family, she knows more than I know." ”

Zhang Han also said: "At dawn, you can say it." ”

Xiang Tianliang picked up the manuscript, put it on the coffee table in front of him, pushed it in front of Lu Haibin, and said four words softly, "The thing will return to its original owner." ”

"Really, really?"

"Old Lu, I don't like to read, it's useless to me."

"Then I, I ......"

Xiang Tianliang smiled: "If you don't want to, I will return him to Deputy County Magistrate Jiang." ”

"Yes, yes, yes......" Lu Haibin said repeatedly.

Jia Huilan even thanked him repeatedly, "Tianliang, I'm sorry, this manuscript is a boulder that weighs on Lao Lu's heart, that's why he is so out of shape." ”

"Understand, understand." Xiang Tianliang smiled and nodded.

Lu Haibin asked, "You listened to Sister Zhang about the manuscript, right?" ”

"Yes, Lao Lu, you don't blame Sister Zhang, do you?"

"No blame, no blame, it's too late for me to thank you."

Xiang Tianliang smiled: "Don't hide it from you Lao Lu and the two sisters, after I heard that there is such a thing and this manuscript, I thought about how to help Lao Lu in a convenient situation, it just so happens that there is such an opportunity tonight, I will help you get it back." ”

"Tonight?"

"Rest assured, I got it about an hour ago, and I promise I haven't seen it."

"I believe, I believe."

Zhang Han asked curiously: "Tianliang, I was also about to ask you, I heard Lao Lu say that Jiang Jianwen regarded the manuscript as a treasure and kept it in the safe, how did you get it?" How could he willingly let you get it? ”

"What about this issue...... Xiang Tianliang smiled embarrassedly, looked at Lu Haibin and said, "There are some details, I won't talk about them one by one." ”

Lu Haibin heard Xiang Tianliang's meaning, and being able to take out the manuscript from Jiang Jianwen's safe is of course not a legitimate and normal means, maybe you don't need to let the women know, so as not to increase their burden.

So, he said to Jia Huilan: "Huilan, it's so late, you let the eldest sister help, go to the hour of the night." ”

Jia Huilan is also a smart woman, knowing that there are some things that women should not know, as soon as Lu Haibin said it, he happened to take the opportunity to leave the living room with Zhang Han.

As soon as the two women left, Lu Haibin picked up the manuscript and took the initiative to invite Xiang Tianliang to the study.

After sitting down, it was Xiang Tianliang who opened his mouth first, "Old Lu, you should destroy the manuscript immediately." ”

Lu Haibin nodded and said, "Well, let's destroy it after we finish talking, if Jiang Jianwen knows that the manuscript is back in my hands, he will definitely try to take it back." ”

"You don't have to worry about that, at least in the near future, he won't suspect you."

"Oh, Weishenme?"

Xiang Tianliang said with a smile: "Something happened to his family, he was too busy to take care of himself, and he would first suspect the people around him." ”

"Tianliang, you still have to be careful, I know him better than you, he can do everything."

"yes, I happen to be the least afraid of people like that."

Lu Haibin hummed again, and asked with a smile: "It took a lot of thought, right?" ”

Xiang Tianliang was also laughing, "Sort of, there are some things you can't do, but I can do them." ”

"I know, I mean...... It's best not to leave a situation like sequelae. ”

"Old Lu, that's what I'm going to say." Xiang Tianliang smiled and said, "You must continue as always, as if nothing had happened, I mean, you will still be in his hands as if the manuscript had been written." ”

"So, you've got it all arranged?" Lu Haibin is also an understanding person.

Xiang Tian nodded, with a slight smug look on his face, "Just like your old Lu can write articles, and I can't write articles, you can't do what I did more than an hour ago, in short, I have made the necessary arrangements, from now on, I will take some protective measures against you and Sister Jia, please understand, this is just in case." ”

"I understand, I'm xiexie you."

"Rest assured, one, they are absolutely reliable, two, things will pass soon, and three, you can contact me at any time."

Looking at Xiang Tianliang, Lu Haibin smiled and asked, "Now, it's time to talk about tomorrow, right?" ”

"Tomorrow?" Xiang Tianliang pretended to be puzzled, but said in his heart, of course, I have worked so hard just for the personnel struggle at the Standing Committee tomorrow.

Lu Haibin said with a smile: "It's cliché to talk about returns, but at tomorrow's Standing Committee, I have the right to vote, don't you want to discuss it with me?" ”

"Hehe......" Xiang Tianliang laughed embarrassedly again, "You are a literati and a senior, there are some things, some things you know, I really don't know how to open this mouth." ”

"Is it more difficult than opening Jiang Jianwen's safe?"

Xiang Tianliang shook his head and said, "Old Lu, I understand your situation, and I really don't want to embarrass you." ”

"Hmm." Lu Haibin stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, stopped in front of Xiang Tianliang and said, "Tianliang, you and I are both people who eat political food, then we must remember the essence of politics, if you want to eat political food well, the first thing is to be shameless, in this regard, I am an example of failure, people like me should not break into this shijie, be a teacher and be so-so." ”

"Old Lu, you're too modest." Xiang Tianliang smiled.

"No, no, no." Lu Haibin shook his hand, sat back in his chair and continued, "When it comes to eating politics, I am not as good as Jiang Jianwen, to put it proudly, I think I am better than him, he doesn't look like a cadre in any way, but he has become a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and executive deputy county magistrate." ”

Xiang Tianliang smiled, "Old Lu, what are you telling me about this?" ”

"Because I want to help you."
