Yu Youan also ordered a soft sleeper at the beginning, next to Li Xiyue, but then when he thought about it, the minister sat in a soft sleeper, how could he sit on a soft sleeper? So I changed the ticket and booked a hard sleeper ticket next to the soft sleeper car. As for the reason for going to Beijing, he naturally couldn't help him, and he asked the director of the Department of Intangible Cultural Heritage to send an urgent letter to the bureau, saying that there was still a lot of work to be added to the seal carving and stone carving culture in Lijiayan, Nanzhou, and asked him to go to Beijing. The application for the World Heritage Site is now a major event, and the Nanzhou Cultural Bureau can still attract the attention of the city leaders for this work, and naturally no one said anything when he went to Beijing.

At half past six o'clock in the afternoon of Tuesday, Yu Youan came to the train station early, in order not to be noticed, he sent the drivers Xiao Qi and Du Yuwu back in advance, carrying a bag alone, and entered the waiting room calmly. Gong Yimei, the wife of Shang Linfeng, the director of the Nanzhou Art Theater, had been waiting there for a long time, and when she saw him, she greeted him with a smile, took the bag from his hand, and asked diligently: "Come so early, Director Yu, what time is it?" Yu Youan coughed, this question was not easy for him to answer, and his brows furrowed. Gong Yimei didn't notice it, and still said enthusiastically, "My old Shang just called, he really wanted to see you off, Director Yu didn't give us this opportunity." I said that when the director came back from a business trip, he would definitely pick up the wind for the director. Yu Youan smiled indifferently, "Don't bother, Lao Shang is also quite busy." Looking around, there was no acquaintance, and then he went to the VIP room generously.

Gong Yimei is fat, it seems to be half a head taller than Yu You'an, this woman is usually too diligent, and she always pulls Shang Linfeng to Yu You'an's house during the New Year's holidays, and the sanitation of Yu You'an's house during the Spring Festival last year was still cleaned by Gong Yimei with a group of sisters on the railway. This opportunity is even more undesirable for Gong Yimei, since Yu Youan called to book tickets, she has been busy running before and after.

Yu Youan didn't want to deal with Gong Yimei, this family was a little annoying, when Shang Linfeng was promoted from vice president of the Art Theater to dean, Gong Yimei chased and intercepted him for more than half a year, and everything was moved to his house, almost turning his house into a department store. Later, Shang Linfeng came to the dean's position, and Gong Yimei didn't seem to be so diligent, but in the first half of this year, that is, after the separation of cultural tourism, Gong Yimei's steps became frequent again, Yu Youan knew that the Cultural Bureau was still lacking a discipline inspection team leader, and Gong Yimei wanted Shang Linfeng to move to this son as soon as possible.

The seat is not his Yu You'an's stability, Yu You'an is a little wary of Gong Yimei's enthusiasm, but this time he went to Beijing, bought tickets for tickets or something, and couldn't help but trouble Gong Yimei, and Yu Youan had to accept Gong Yimei's enthusiasm. The train staggered out of Nanzhou, Yu You'an was nervous for a while, he was going to travel a long way for his career as he wished, but what about Li Xiyue, how could he see through the autumn water or still see no one? Could it be that the news is wrong, or that Li Xiyue has changed his mind temporarily? When he got on the bus, he had gone to the sleeper car several times, and wanted to pretend to meet Li Xiyue unintentionally, but Li Xiyue never appeared in the carriage at all, and Zhang Shan and her mother Su Ping didn't see it, he wanted to call Xu Xueqian several times, wanted to ask what was going on, and was afraid that Xu Xueqian would laugh at him. They didn't let him chase his ass to Beijing. Let's go, let's go, let's go, if you go to Xuzhou and still can't see them, you will get off the bus.

"Sir, you've stepped on my skirt." A dissatisfied female voice came, and Yu Youan turned around to see that the fashionable girl was hunched over and rummaging through her suitcase, and his foot happened to step on someone's skirt, making it impossible for people to get up.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Yu Youan smiled at the girl and moved his foot.

"Sir, can I discuss it with you, I'm dizzy and can't sleep on the top bunk, can it be convenient, let's drop it, I can make up the difference for you."

It was the first time Yu Youan had encountered this incident, and it was also the first time he had to worry about going out, the secretary or entourage had everything ready, just waiting for him to go to bed, and he had rarely taken the train over the years, let alone sat in this kind of hard sleeper that was crowded and crowded. Yu Youan was just about to say no, how could he stand the upper bunk, when he suddenly saw a shadow flashing on the other side of the carriage, very similar to Zhang Shan, he threw down the girl full of hope and ran to the aisle, the shadow flashed and disappeared, Yu Youan chased a few steps forward, and was blocked back by the conductor.

"Sir, please come back to your seat, we need to register."

At this time, his mobile phone beeped, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a text message from Jin Guangyao: The minister has been driving for half an hour to the station, and I personally sent it, bless you, Yu Bureau.

It turned out that I entered the station ahead of schedule! Yu You'an felt a surge of happiness in his heart, feeling his body relaxed, thinking that if the girl still changed shops with him just now, he would change it to her, anyway, it would be one night, and he wouldn't be tired. When he returned to his seat, he saw that the girl was already lying on the bunk opposite him, and it was a middle-aged man who changed bunks with her, bald, with a thief's eyes, and a smile showing two yellow teeth. When the girl saw Yu Youan looking at her, her eyes were hateful, and she turned around to listen to the music. Yu Youan smiled and sat on the bunk to plan.

It was 11:20 p.m. when he met Li Xiyue, and it was already very quiet in the carriage, Yu Youjiao was waiting at the aisle for a cigarette, he thought that Li Xiyue wouldn't go to the toilet once, right? After waiting for more than two hours, Li Xiyue finally came from the No. 8 carriage. Yu Youan threw away the cigarette, shook up his spirit and greeted him, and at the moment when Li Xiyue was about to pass by him, he suddenly said enthusiastically: "It's the minister, such a coincidence." Li Xiyue was thinking about something, Yu Youan's voice scared him, and when he calmed down, he asked, "Are you-"

Yu Youan happily replied: "I am Yu You'an of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and the minister doesn't recognize me, but ......" Yu Youan was about to say that a few days ago, my secretary of Tonkin presented a report to the minister, which was about cultural prosperity, and the minister was busy, so he must not have seen it. Li Xiyue interrupted him, "What, you're also on a business trip?" ”

"Yes, where are you going to Beijing to attend the World Heritage Nomination Conference, Minister?" Yu Youan stood up straight, just like reporting in the office. Li Xiyue wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible, and said perfunctorily, "I will accompany the old leader to see a doctor." ”

As soon as Li Xiyue walked away, Yu Youan said again: "Do you have my help, I am in the 56th seat of the No. 7 car, if you need to ......"

"No need, you're busy, I'll go meet someone." After Li Xiyue finished speaking, he left, and Yu You stood there unsatisfied, his eyes followed Li Xiyue's distant figure, and said in his heart, "He doesn't recognize me, and he doesn't want to know who I am." ”

Back in his seat, Yu You was relieved and down-to-earth, the minister has only been here for two months, how many people will he know, and on this occasion, if he knows people, he will pretend not to know them, just like when he goes to the grassroots level, he is afraid of others. The key is that this trip to Beijing must be fully utilized, the influence must be deepened, and Li Xiyue must firmly remember that there is a Yu Youan in Nanzhou, who has a solid job, is safe and reliable, and is trustworthy.

After sitting for a while, Yu Youan saw Li Xiyue coming over surrounded by the car commander and two policemen, and it turned out that Li Xiyue was looking for the car commander. He hurriedly stood up and saluted Li Xiyue from afar. Li Xiyue seemed to have forgotten him, and walked in front of him with a heavy face, and his eyes didn't sweep towards him. Yu Youan comforted himself: "Okay, just let him know that he is sitting in a soft sleeper on a business trip." ”

The stomach crowed at this time, and I didn't eat well in the afternoon. As soon as there is something in his heart, Yu Youan can't eat, which is a bad problem. However, he is not the only one who has this bad problem, and almost all the people in the officialdom are guilty of this problem. Yu Youan opened the plastic bag in his hand when he got into the car, Gong Yimei forced it into his hand, trying to find something to comfort and comfort his stomach, but after churning for a long time, he suddenly turned out an envelope, which frightened him and immediately retracted his hand.

How could there be this? Yu Youan carefully looked up and down, left and right, under the dim light, most of the people were asleep, and no one seemed to notice him, so he quietly took the envelope and sneaked to the toilet.

Inside is 20,000 dollars. After confirming the numbers, Yu Youan was not so nervous, but a little ashamed. This money was obviously prepared by Gong Yimei temporarily, and Lao Shang may not know yet. He knows the situation of Lao Shang's family, and it is not easy for them to take this money, most of the employees in the cultural system are poor, no better than the Construction Committee and the Planning Bureau, although Shang Linfeng is said to be a dean, but the Art Theater has been sluggish in recent years, his official, that is, a level, is still angry with the "artists" on weekdays, fortunately, Gong Yimei can toss, but the money spent on Lao Shang over the years is not a small amount.

As long as people run for office, the money always feels that it is not enough, and Yu Youan has often fallen into a situation where he is stretched thin over the years. There is no way, the cost is getting bigger and bigger, the risk is getting higher and higher, and sometimes there is not necessarily a return on the investment, and there are many cases of wrong and wrong gifts. Yu Youan once mistakenly sent more than 200,000 yuan to the former deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and he couldn't attack it for a long time at that time, and he was anxious, and listened to the demagogic words of others, and he was promoted to the province in less than two months after he got the money, and now he is the first deputy director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. It's okay if he doesn't get promoted, but if he is promoted, the money will be lost, and you can't even mention it. His wife Fang Zhuoya blamed him for this for almost half a year, and now when she heard that the money was sent, Fang Zhuoya shook her head as if she had left sequelae.

But when people walk in officialdom, how can they be empty-handed. There is a saying that knocks out a tooth and swallows it in the stomach, and Yu Youan is in this state when they have a lot.

After a cigarette in the toilet, Yu Youan calmed down, got up, and loaded the money. Since you give it, take it, this time there are many places in Beijing to use money, although 20,000 yuan is less, it can also save the emergency, as for Shang Linfeng's side, I will owe him a favor for the time being.
