It is not suitable to sit for a long time, Zhu Huaijing got up and said goodbye. Aunt Wang explained that he often came to play. When Zhu Huaijing went out, he said to Aunt Wang: "How about trying this rice, if it tastes good, I will send your rice in the future." Aunt Wang said, "Where, don't be so polite." Zhu Huaijing said sincerely: "It's okay." Rice is worthless. The rice outside, mainly afraid of pollution. The chief's body is important! There was no need for any results on this topic, so one said thank you, no need, and the other said nothing, and they looked at each other and smiled vaguely. Mayor Pi didn't get up, leaned back on the sofa, looked at Zhu Huaijing who was going out and smiled kindly.

Regarding tonight's visit, there are two details that often come to Zhu Huaijing's mind later. First, Pei Danian suddenly discovered him, and there seemed to be a panic in his eyes; The second is that when Mayor Pi saw him out, he smiled kindly.

In the end, no one discovered Li Mingxi's whereabouts. But because of a long report by Zeng Yi, Li Mingxi became a famous news figure. For a time, many newspapers and periodicals across the country reprinted Zeng Yi's masterpiece "The Painter's Escape - The End of a Fairy Tale". Under Zeng Yi's pen, Li Mingxi is an outstanding young painter with an ancient brush, ink with spring and autumn ink, and outstanding painting style. The painter was perverse, maverick, unconventional, and laughing at life, and finally freed his painful soul in a mad way. Zeng Yi leaves the reader with a mystery: a large number of Li Mingxi's paintings have mysteriously been lost and unknown to whom. Different people have different ways of reading the same report. Wang Yizhou pondered this article, and always felt that Zeng Slang was insinuating him, saying that he suppressed and made things difficult for Li Mingxi, and drove a talented young painter crazy. But Zeng's slang penmanship was tortuous, and he couldn't say that he intended to attack anyone, so Wang Yizhou had to suffer a dumb loss. But there are many clear-eyed people in the Academy of Fine Arts, who are well versed in Zeng's slang brushwork, and they are always discussing this matter on the side. Wang Yizhou was distressed for a few days, came up with a plan, and simply wrote an article applauding Li Mingxi, and found an authoritative newspaper to publish it. In this way, at least the outside world thought that Wang Yizhou's suspicion of how Li Mingxi was could be eliminated. After all, Wang Yizhou is a senior citizen in the art world, and as soon as his article came out, it immediately attracted several old painters from Beijing and other provinces. Mr. Wu Juyi naturally did not write the article himself, but he talked to reporters about his evaluation of Li Mingxi and praised it. Mr. Wu is a master of today's painting world, and he can be described as a golden mouth and jade tooth when talking about people and paintings. As a result, a group of old painters have become enlightened gentlemen who cherish their talents in the art world. After reading Zeng Yi's article, some young painters wrote articles of pity, feeling great sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox, which almost set off a collective worship of Li Mingxi by a group of talented people in the art world. Coincidentally, this year, a young poet committed suicide by lying on the rails, and a young writer died of a heart attack, which, together with the disappearance of Li Mingxi, were called the three major events in the cultural circle of that year. As a result, those newspaper and periodical columnists who specialize in the production of ideas, such as all kinds of Zeng slang people from all over the country, have taken advantage of the topic to write articles to deeply reflect on the mental state and living environment of contemporary Chinese intellectuals, which has almost turned into an ideological discussion. Many years later, some historians of thought even said that this incident was the precursor to the vigorous discussion of the humanistic spirit that followed. But what the collectors who played with the paintings read from the large number of articles about Zeng Slang and later was speculation and wealth. Li Mingxi's paintings have become unearthed cultural relics, just like the novels of the violent writer. Li Mingxi's paintings have not entered the market very much, and they are even more precious, and their prices have skyrocketed.

Zhu Huaijing quietly watched the news hype about Li Mingxi with humor and joy. He knew that the more Li Mingxi was fried, the greater the wealth in his hands. He really wished that this news hype would be protracted and push Li Mingxi to the classics and eternity. But after all, journalism is a swinger who likes the new and hates the old, and he won't love anyone to the end. By the time the Municipal People's Congress and *** were held in March of the following year, Li Mingxi's name could no longer be seen in the newspapers and periodicals of Jingdu. Even Zhu Huaijing only occasionally thought of this missing friend, wondering if he was in a foreign country at this time, or if he had already frozen to death in some wilderness.

This was the second session of the current NPC and the CPPCC, and there were no personnel issues involved, and it could have been held smoothly. I never thought that there were extraneous branches in the middle of the meeting, and the two meetings were filled with ** smell. Of course, the common people did not feel anything from the television news, all the reports that should have been made, all the resolutions that should have been passed, and the two meetings were still major events in the political life of the people of the whole city.

The abnormal atmosphere first emanated from the *** meeting. Recently, the relationship between Zhang Xianjue, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), Li Guangtong, chairman of the Municipal People's Congress, and Pi Deqiu, mayor of the city, has become more and more delicate. Usually, the people's congress session is more grand than the first meeting. The hotel is more advanced, the meeting food is more abundant, and there will be more souvenirs. The souvenirs are sponsored by some enterprises in the city, and the heads of these businesses are usually ****. Every time the committee members have a lot of opinions, they feel that they are one level lower than the ****. On the second day of the meeting, some committee members heard that there would be more souvenirs distributed by the NPC session this year, and each deputy would have a shirt, a tie, a pair of leather shoes, two bottles of liquor, and two cigarettes. On the other hand, the souvenirs that have been left are only a bottle of liquor and a cigarette per person. Therefore, when discussing the work report, the CPPCC members naturally expressed concern about the status of CPPCC members. Of course, most of the CPPCC members at the municipal level are still statused, and their opinions are expressed in a gentle and elegant manner, and no one seems to care about a pair of broken leather shoes or something. But Zhang Xianjue is discerning and knowing. Therefore, he made an improvised decision to make a speech at the next day's conference on the practical improvement of the wind style. Chairman Zhang's opening remarks spoke highly of the good style of the CPPCC that the CPPCC has consistently adhered to over the years, and asked everyone to continue to carry it forward. New requirements were immediately made. First of all, the committee members were asked to conscientiously hold a good meeting, persist in thinking about major issues and discussing major issues, and actively offer suggestions and suggestions. In the end, the conversation changed, emphasizing the adherence to the clean style of the meeting, and the three chapters of the law: first, it is not allowed to arrange meeting meals beyond the standard; second, it is forbidden to distribute souvenirs of the conference; Third, it is forbidden to arrange high-end entertainment activities. Chairman Zhang's language was very artistic, and his short 30-minute oral speech almost achieved a sensational effect, and the atmosphere of the venue was made solemn. Although Chairman Zhang only spoke about the style of the meeting, the committee members understood what he meant and agreed with his views. Therefore, starting from the lunch of the day, we discussed reforming the dining method and opening a buffet. Each committee member took a plate, spoon, and chopsticks and received the food in turn. Everyone's expressions seemed to have a sense of sublimity, and the scene was almost tragic. The souvenirs that had already arrived at the conference logistics team were returned to their original owners according to Chairman Zhang's opinion. The scheduled three nights of entertainment were also cancelled.

The NPC session was pushed into an embarrassing situation. Director Li of the National People's Congress was very annoyed and found Mayor Pi to discuss the matter. Mayor Pi's opinion asked the General Office of the National People's Congress to go to a leader and consult with the CPPCC. So Director Wang of the General Office of the National People's Congress was instructed to go to Secretary General Zhou of the CPPCC and suggested that the souvenirs should be issued as such, and the two meetings should be balanced and the same thing should be issued. Secretary-General Zhou said that the three chapters of the covenant on the conduct of honest meetings were proposed by the committee members, and the presidium meeting agreed to it, and Chairman Zhang also announced it at the meeting, so it is inconvenient to overturn it. The negotiations were unsuccessful. Director Li discussed with Mayor Pi again, saying that the people's congress would not give out souvenirs? Mayor Pi said that most of the deputies are grassroots comrades, and it is not easy to come to the city for a meeting.

The twists and turns of this story quietly spread among the CPPCC members, and a wave of righteous indignation grew secretly. Righteous indignation is directed at the NPC. When the committee members heard that the souvenirs of the NPC session had been distributed correctly, they felt more and more that the three chapters of the CPPCC on the clean and honest style of the CPPCC were of great significance. There was an indescribable atmosphere on ***, and it was almost a little indignant. The focus of the discussions in each group became more and more focused on the anti-corruption issue, and at first they only talked about some phenomena, but then gradually they pointed to specific people and things, and even formed a CPPCC bill. Things get complicated. Originally, due to the recent occurrence of corruption cases in the Finance Bureau and other units, anti-corruption has become a hot topic in the city. The people's congress and the people's congress are important to discuss and decide, and they cannot be held as an anti-corruption meeting. In advance, in order to ensure the successful completion of the agenda of the people's congress and the people's congress in accordance with legal procedures, the leaders of the municipal party committee specially studied and decided to temporarily avoid the anti-corruption issue at the "two sessions." In accordance with the instructions of the municipal party committee, the leaders of the people's congress and the CPPCC have blown the wind in advance, urging everyone to concentrate their energies on thinking about and discussing major issues and not to discuss too many specific individual issues. The propaganda department began to cooperate early on, cleaning the screens, cleaning the newspapers and periodicals, and only issuing positive reports, with special emphasis on publicizing the important achievements in all aspects since the last National People's Congress. During the meeting, all topics discussed by the CPPCC members and CPPCC members related to anti-corruption will not be reported. On the fourth day of the meeting, the first session had almost become the theme of anti-corruption, and the people's congress was still held smoothly in accordance with the procedures and procedures.

Zhu Huaijing served at the National People's Congress. That night, Zhang Tianqi invited him to the room to talk, and it happened that he needed to find Zhang Tianqi for his brother's promotion, so he went immediately. As soon as they met, Zhu Huaijing gave up his hands to make amends, "I'm sorry Secretary Zhang, I was busy for the first two days, and I don't have time to come to see you." ”

Zhang Tianqi said with a smile: "You are the leader of the city, so you are busier than us." ”

Zhu Huaijing shook his head and said, "Secretary Zhang, don't make fun of me." I'm a conference attendant, just for you. ”

"Yes, it is often said that leadership is service." Zhang Tianqi is still joking.

"This is the quintessential political fraud advertisement. Leadership is service, and service is not leadership. Zhu Huaijing said with a smile.

After laughing for a while, Zhang Tianqi said softly: "Huaijing, you have been wronged." It is normal for those who are capable to be jealous. I told you about it in front of Mayor Pi. He cares about you and says you're a nice young man. ”

Zhu Huaijing hurriedly thanked him. In fact, he didn't know if Zhang Tianqi had said anything about him in front of Mayor Pi. But listening to Zhang Tianqi just talking about Mayor Pi's statement, it's like that. Because of suggestions to Mayor Pi on personnel issues like Zhang Tianqi, Mayor Pi generally will not give a clear answer, but will only say that Huaijing, this young man is good. At best, this can only be understood as a hint. First, personnel issues are serious matters, and Mayor Pi will not leak secrets casually; Second, Mayor Pi will not easily give Zhang Tianqi the favor of promoting Zhu Huaijing, and if he wants to do a favor, he can only do it himself. Mayor Pi had already said that he would be responsible for Zhu Huaijing's affairs to the end, but he had been saying this for several months, and he had not seen any movement. Zhu Huaijing was anxious and useless, so he had to believe that Mayor Pi had his own arrangements.

Zhu Huaijing suddenly felt speechless, and he couldn't even ask Zhang Tianqi to help his brother. He is good friends with Zhang Tianqi, and he has also helped Zhang Tianqi a lot. But the longer Zhang Tianqi sat in the position of deputy secretary of the prefectural party committee, the more strange it felt to Zhu Huaijing, and it was a little difficult to find a feeling when talking to him. Since the last time Zhu Huaijing helped him settle the tax embezzlement case with Jifu, the two have met several times. But every time, the two of them just invited a few friends to get together for a drink, and they didn't mention a word about the case. Zhang Tianqi didn't say a word of thanks to Zhu Huaijing in private, as if it hadn't happened. Zhu Huaijing sometimes thinks that this may be where Zhang Tianqi is old. Because that's not a nice thing to say after all, it's gone, and there's no need to mention it. But sometimes I feel that Zhang Tianqi is unkind, you don't need to pay for rice, no matter what, you should say a word of thanks on the occasion of the two. Zhu Huaijing initially had the occasional idea to hand over the notebook that Long Wen had left with him to Zhang Tianqi and let him destroy it himself. In this case, Zhang Tianqi will be even more grateful to him. But then he didn't have that idea, and he wanted to keep the notebook private. He looked at Zhang Tianqi and suddenly found that this person had also cultivated a senior leadership kung fu. Because just now when Zhu Huaijing touched him, he was actually smoking a cigarette leisurely, smiling rather than smiling, without saying a word, without embarrassment. However, Zhu Huaijing finally found that he was very embarrassed, so he found the most clichéd sentence and asked: "Is Secretary Zhang okay lately?" Is the work going well? After asking this, Zhu Huaijing felt that he was so unproductive, why didn't he know how to fight with him, and see who couldn't bear it in the end, so he spoke first. It seems that the root cause is still the difference in position. There is no way, in officialdom, the sense of duty can always penetrate into every pore of people.

Zhang Tianqi wiped his big back back very respectfully, sighed slightly, and said, "It's okay." It's just a few villains who are making trouble. Huang Dahong, you know, as long as he goes back to Wuxian now, he will stink me on any occasion. Comrade Jiang Wei is also not principled. He went to Wuxian County to serve as the secretary of the county party committee, which was recommended by me, and he knew this. But he didn't deal with the issue of Huang Dahong well. Huang Dahong has now made a fortune with Yuan Xiaoqi, saying that he wants to return to Wuxian County to invest. As soon as Jiang Wei went, he just wanted to make achievements in attracting investment as soon as possible, so he regarded Huang Dahong as the God of Wealth Bodhisattva. Huang Dahong was punished at my hands, and he wants to save face when he goes back now, and he proposes to let the leaders of the county party committee go to the county border to greet him, and ask the police car to open the road. Jiang Wei is really a mother with milk, but he doesn't pay attention to principles and completely complies with it. A public security bureau chief who was dismissed for playing cards and gambling, and later went to Shenzhen to be a chicken head, asked the secretary of the county party committee to accompany him, and the police car drove the road and drove around Wuxian for a few days. I talked to Jiang Wei afterwards, and Jiang Wei said that he couldn't help it, and the county needed investment. Besides, he doesn't know what happened to Huang Dahong in the past, he only knows that the current Huang Dahong company is affiliated with the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the personnel establishment is also in the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and he has a police rank. He also has a photo of himself with senior leaders in Beijing and the city. You see, I don't know how to do it, someone above actually gave Huang Dahong a police rank, it's ridiculous! What's even more incomprehensible is that at that time, because Huang Dahong left his job without authorization, he was dismissed from his name after a long persuasion. How did he become a cadre of the Municipal Public Security Bureau again? Even if the policy is implemented, it has to go back to Wuxian County to implement it! ”

Regarding Huang Dahong's comeback, Zhu Huaijing knows the inside story best. Everything was handled by Yan Shangming, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and Song Daqing helped him a lot in the middle. But it was Zhu Huaijing and Pi Jie who helped Huang Dahong and Song Daqing connect with Yan Shangming. Zhu Huaijing knew that Huang Dahong could do everything, but he didn't expect that he would go back to Wuxian County to have such a beautiful appearance, what a villain! To retaliate against Zhang Tianqi, Zhu Huaijing had already heard Huang Dahong say it, but he didn't know how many tricks he had in his hands. "Secretary Zhang, don't worry, Huang Dahong has a hard mouth, but it's just talking. You don't have anything to say about him, what are you afraid of him doing? Zhu Huaijing wanted to find out what tricks Huang Dahong had caught him.

Zhang Tianqi said: "What can I ask him to say?" It's just that the cadres and the masses don't know the truth, which will make him mess up the audio-visual. Besides, allowing such a scoundrel to casually pour sewage on our leading cadres will make our party and ** weak, and in the long run, the people will feel unconfident. Scatter people's hearts! ”

Zhang Tianqi raised the trouble he encountered infinitely to the point of life and death of the party and **, Zhu Huaijing felt funny when he heard it, so he had to repeat the sentence again: "Afraid of what he will say?" It's up to him to go. ”

Zhang Tianqi said: "Yes, I think so too. But there were some things he said that were unpleasant, and some comrades were very indignant when they heard it, and asked me to stop him. What's more, there is an old saying in China, three people become tigers! ”

Zhu Huaijing wanted to know what Huang Dahong said, but Zhang Tianqi didn't say it himself, so it was inconvenient for him to ask. However, from Zhang Tianqi's expression, Zhu Huaijing felt that he actually cared a lot about Huang Dahong saying bad things about him. People in officialdom, and someone talking behind their backs is not something to make a fuss about. But Zhang Tianqi cares so much, he must have his own hidden secrets. Maybe Huang Dahong is not completely malicious to slander him, but he does control something unseemly about him. Zhang Tianqi didn't say anything, Zhu Huaijing pretended to be confused, and changed the topic: "Secretary Zhang, I have something to ask you to help with." My elder brother Zhu Huaiyu was promoted to the mayor of the town in your hands. You know him. He has been the mayor of the town for more than two years now, and the county has recently adjusted the township leadership group, can you add some burden to him and go to which township to serve as the party secretary? ”

Zhang Tianqi said with a smile: "This is easy to say, I'll just say hello to Jiang Wei." But then again, Jiang Wei is young and has a bit of personality. I told him to gag Huang Dahong's mouth and tell him to stop talking nonsense. Jiang Wei promised well, but he probably didn't say it. ”

Zhu Huaijing understood that Zhang Tianqi actually wanted him to come forward to talk to Huang Dahong. Huang Dahong must be able to lower him, so he listens to you. Zhu Huaijing knew that he couldn't stop Huang Dahong. Last time, Zhu Huaijing asked him to help and contracted the tennis court project of the dry rest house to Qu Lin, and he actually reached out and asked for a sum of money. This shows that Huang Dahong doesn't take Zhu Huaijing very seriously. Listening to Zhang Tianqi's meaning, he was obviously exchanging with him. Zhu Huaijing thought to himself that this Tianqi was really not enough friends, only you helped him, not him. If you want him to help you, you have to do something for him. For the sake of my brother's future, I had to exchange with him. Zhu Huaijing has been in officialdom for so many years and knows what a critical moment is. The critical juncture of promotion is the critical moment. As long as someone speaks at the critical moment, you can soar. Otherwise, no matter how dedicated you are, it will be in vain. Life is short, as long as you miss a few key moments, you will be a lot older, and all your ambitions will be disappointed. The moment of truth is a morning, afternoon, or evening where the person who decides your fate sits in a conference room. Someone is strongly advocating for you to be promoted, and if you pass, you're lucky. If no one speaks for you, just wait for the next time. The next time is often two or three years later. How many two or three years are there in life? People in officialdom can understand the philosophy of life such as time is like an arrow at this time. So whenever there is such a critical moment, some people pay special attention to work efficiency, and will go to several leaders' homes to report in one night.

How can this be settled? Zhu Huaijing was at a loss for a while. After thinking about the people I know well, I am afraid that only Yan Shangming can reduce Huang Dahong, and Yan Shangming can only be reduced by Mayor Pi. It's really a thing for a thing. Zhu Huaijing didn't think clearly about what to do about this matter, so he discussed with Zhang Tianqi: "Secretary Zhang, I thought about it, Huang Dahong is only afraid that he can only listen to Director Yan Shangming's words." Yan Shangming: We often eat together, but we are soft-spoken, let me tell him, is he willing to help? ”

Zhang Tianqi said: "You Huaijing is a celebrity in front of Mayor Pi, how can he not give you face?" ”

Zhang Tianqi is saying kind words. But listening to his words, Zhu Huaijing understood even more that he must ask himself for help. "Actually, as long as Mayor Pi says to Yan Shangming, it's fine." Zhu Huaijing said.

"That's not right. It's not appropriate to alarm Mayor Pi for this little thing about me. Zhang Tianqi shook his head and said.

Indeed, it is not a word to let Mayor Pi know that Zhang Tianqi has a bad reputation below. What's more, it will never be a trivial matter that may alarm Mayor Pi. But Zhu Huaijing thought about it the other way, in fact, Mayor Pi didn't need to know anything, as long as he said to Yan Shangming, Comrade Shangming, it is not easy to train a cadre in the organization, you have to love it. And so Pepsi is over. The problem is that Mayor Pi doesn't know that there is such a person as Huang Dahong. Moreover, Yan Shangming was afraid and didn't want Mayor Pi to know that there was such a person as Huang Dahong. "Secretary Zhang, you are in charge of politics and law, and you should have a connection with the Public Security Bureau, Yan Shangming, you are very familiar, right?" Zhu Huaijing asked.

"Familiar is familiar, but they are all work contacts, no personal relationships, and it is inconvenient to talk about these things." Zhang Tianqi said.

Zhu Huaijing said: "I have a suggestion, you see how it is." Huang Dahong is a very gangster, and he should be soft rather than hard. I thought, why don't you put down the shelf, and I'll make an appointment with Director Yan, Huang Dahong, and a few more friends for a meal. I told Yan Shangming about the matter in advance, and when it came to the dinner table, Yan Shangming didn't need to say much, just clicked, and Huang Dahong understood. ”

Zhang Tianqi groaned slightly, nodded and smiled: "That's fine." Huang Dahong: I haven't seen him for many years, so let's see what he looks like. ”

"Then it's decided. Just in the past few days, I made an appointment with them. Zhu Huaijing said.

Zhang Tianqi responded: "Okay, I'll listen to your arrangement." Your brother's business, don't worry. No matter how much Jiang Wei has a personality, he still has to listen to the words of the township secretary and the deputy secretary of the prefectural party committee. ”

After saying this, Zhu Huaijing felt that he had nothing to say. He wanted to find an excuse and quit. At this moment, Han Changxing knocked on the door with two fellow villagers from Wuxian County. Zhu Huaijing got up and said a few polite words to him, just say that you have something to talk about, I'll leave first. Han Changxing said that there was nothing wrong, let's take a look at Secretary Zhang. When the leaders of their hometown come to the city for a meeting, most of the villagers who work in Jingdu have face or think they have face will come to visit. This is the most cost-effective emotional investment, and it is easy to talk about what you want to do at home in the future. This is a routine in officialdom.

Zhu Huaijing went back to the room to take a look, there was nothing to do, and he was going to go to Yuqin. Just as I was about to go out, there was a knock on the door. When I opened the door, I saw that it was Luffy. "Great writer, why are you free?" Zhu Huaijing greeted.

Lu Fu said: "Director Zhu, I've been looking for you for a while. I asked for a long time before I found out that you live in this room. I've knocked on your door several times, and you're not there. ”

"Yes, yes. I went out and came in. What's the big deal with me? Zhu Huaijing said and invited Lu Fu into the room to sit.

When Luffy sat down, his face became solemn, and he didn't speak for a long time. Zhu Huaijing poured him a cup of tea and said, "I know that your great writer has nothing to do but ascend to the Three Treasures Palace, there must be something." ”

Lu Fu took a few sips of tea and shook his head for a long time before saying, "Director Zhu, I have no way to find you." Yuan Xiaoqi is really not a fucking thing! You've seen "Master Xiaoqi". At the beginning, he said that he would pay me 20,000 yuan for the manuscript. However, after the book has been published for so long, it has helped him become famous and made him rich, but he has not paid me a penny of manuscript fees. I know he's going to open *** this time, and I'm looking for him. But he wouldn't see him! ”

"That's weird! Yuan Xiaoqi is now a well-known philanthropist, chivalrous, and philanthropic, how could he be stingy with one or two thousand yuan? Zhu Huaijing was puzzled.

Luffy smiled coldly and said, "Hmph, philanthropist! ”

Listening to Lu Fu's disdainful tone, Zhu Huaijing couldn't help but be a little excited. He wanted to hear what Lu Fu said about what kind of character Yuan Xiaoqi was, so he said: "I didn't go to *** at the people's conference. When Yuan Xiaoqi came back this time, we haven't met yet. Do you mean that you want me to send him a message? ”

Luffy said, "I had to trouble you as a last resort. I've called him so many times in such a long time, but he won't even answer my phone. I can't help but write a letter, but my letter is also a mud cow into the sea. This time, if he doesn't give money, don't blame me for being unkind. ”

Zhu Huaijing didn't know what Lu Fu meant by being unkind, but he believed that he was afraid that it was mostly a bluff. With Yuan Xiaoqi's current power, Lu Fu has nothing to do. Zhu Huaijing wanted to know some of Yuan Xiaoqi's secrets from Luffy's mouth, so he wanted to capture him: "Mr. Luffy, there will always be a way to solve things, you should be more sensible." No matter how you look at it, Yuan Xiaoqi is now a celebrity, if you take any simple method, you will not receive good results. Both of you are my friends, and I don't want you to make things bad for everyone. Don't get me wrong, I'm not interfering with you, I'm just giving you advice. ”

"That depends on how Yuan Xiaoqi solves this matter in the end. In fact, 20,000 yuan is not a large amount. I, Luffy, write for a living, don't have much money, but I'm not too shabby. The problem is that Yuan Xiaoqi's approach is too contemptuous of people. I'm just asking for the proceeds of my labor, not asking for charity. Also philanthropists! Luffy still had something to say, but he didn't say it.

"So Mr. Luffy, in your opinion, what kind of character is Yuan Xiaoqi?" Zhu Huaijing had no choice but to ask him directly.

Luffy smiled coldly again and said, "I have no obligation to reveal who he is." If he deceives people too much, I will have to resort to the press and expose his diorama. ”

Zhu Huaijing asked: "You might as well talk to me." Yuan Xiaoqi was introduced to me by Song Daqing and a few of your friends. Although I have dealt with him a lot, I have only really known him from your book. Is there any truth in your book? ”

Luffy smiled: "From ancient times to the present, how many sentences in the book are true? ”

What a myth! Zhu Huaijing felt incredible and said: "There are books that are false, but everything cannot be absolute. ”

"I recently read some books about Russia that reflect the inside story of the politics of the former Soviet Union, only to realize that the political textbooks and history textbooks of the former Soviet Union are full of lies," Luffy said. Everyone is lying, so why am I not allowed to lie? If Yuan Xiaoqi is acquainted, I will show mercy to his subordinates, and let him spread the fallacy, otherwise I will tell the truth. ”

This is called literati inaction! Zhu Huaijing found that when Lu Fu said this, his face was not red. Maybe it's because the skin is too thick, and the blood can't be seen. Seeing for the first time that literati would be so thick-skinned, Zhu Huaijing secretly sighed and opened his eyes. "You are true for a while, false for a while, what do you want people to believe in you? It is exactly the old saying that the fallacy spreads, and it is not shallow to mislead people! ”

Luffy said: "Director Zhu, with all due respect. You're just too orthodox in your thinking. You always want a current, a thought, an idea, a belief, and so on. Unrealistic! In those culturally diverse countries, people are active in their minds and do not mess up their society. For thousands of years, we have emphasized great unification in everything, and we have not unified society into any good place. It is impossible for a single article to prosper the country, and it is impossible for a song to perish the country. It's not that serious! ”

Zhu Huaijing smiled: "Since Mr. Luffy is so straightforward, I might as well ask you." Not to mention the social responsibility of writers, but writers always have to think about their reputation, right? For example, some people in the entertainment industry, no matter who those men and women are, but in order to have a good selling point in the market, they also have to hire someone to specialize in image design, some are portrayed as Mr. Morality, some are dressed as innocent girls, and some are pretending to be swingers. No matter what kind of image, it can always cater to many people. As the saying goes, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. No one has ever pretended to be a rebel. ”
