On the day of the appointment of the secretary, Bao Zhuangzhi found Li Guanglei, but he could only express regret, explaining that he did not know the news in advance, hoping that Li Guanglei could see it and reassure him that "there will be a good opportunity".

In this case, Li Guanglei could only reply with some "thanks" and respond positively.

On the second day of taking office, the new mayor Diao Ye made a special trip to the door and directly expressed his attitude: ask Mayor Li for more help and advice, and learn more from Mayor Li.

Li Guanglei immediately said that he would report to work and move to a small room.

Diao Ye said that he would not let Li Guanglei move, and even pleaded, saying that this was to support his work, and Li Guanglei had to do it.

Next, Diao Ye really asked some questions, and he came with a notebook, and the questions he asked were also very practical. It looks serious, not like coping.

In the days that followed, Diao Ye often consulted, sometimes in person, sometimes let Li Guanglei pass, and sometimes it was a chance encounter. It's very natural and enthusiastic, and I'm very good at asking questions.

Not only humbly asked for advice, but on some public occasions, Diao Ye also praised Li Guanglei many times, and thanked Secretary Bao and Mayor Li for laying a good foundation many times. As long as there is a banquet and reception, Li Guanglei will always be lifted to an important position.

Judging from Diao Ye's series of practices, this person is neither Diao nor wild, on the contrary, he is reasonable and courteous, but Li Guanglei is not comfortable, and the whole thing is awkward.

Diao Ye respects himself, and he can't help but respect him, so Li Guanglei also sincerely cooperates with the other party and obeys the other party's leadership. But the other party does not treat himself as a subordinate, always treats each other with courtesy, and even treats him as a leader, which makes Li Guanglei very awkward.

In fact, it is not only Li Guanglei who is awkward, but other cadres in the town are also awkward. The secretary and the mayor respect Li Guanglei very much, and people can't be slow to treat themselves, but they are worried about getting too close, and they are worried about causing the secretary and the mayor to be disgusted. Slowly, most people adopt a method - hide, and if they can, they don't fight without taking a picture. In this way, wouldn't Li Guanglei be even more awkward?

Li Guanglei can imagine that not only is he awkward with others, but Diao Ye must also be awkward. Originally, he was transferred from a neighboring county and became the leader of the town government, so he should be the boss in the government, but there is such an existence as Li Guanglei. It's just that Diao Ye can be a man, otherwise the two would have been conflicted a long time ago, but it is impossible for Diao Ye not to be awkward.

Why did the county arrange it this way? When will this arrangement end? Li Guanglei was anxious in his heart, but he had to pretend that nothing happened, which made him even more anxious.

In this anxiety, the days are slowly advancing, and the Spring Festival is approaching.

This morning, after Li Guanglei finished dealing with a few things, he sat behind the table again and became agitated.

At this time, Chang Youli came.

This is a rarity. Of course, it's not that there are fewer Lilly Chang, but compared to the previous two or three days, he hasn't shown up in the past month.

Chang Youli didn't come empty-handed, but carried something in his hand.

Seeing the other party enter the house, Li Guanglei got up again to make tea and pour water, and asked the other party to take the things back.

Chang Youli said with a smile: "This is not a valuable thing, they are all self-picked mushrooms and mountain yellow flowers, and they will be taken back to pay for them during the holidays." In the past, you were the mayor of the town and were in charge of us, but at that time you were afraid of others gossiping, but now that you are not in charge of the village, there will definitely be no one to chew your tongue. ”

The other party said sincerely, Li Guanglei was not too serious, and after thanking him, he gave the other party two boxes of good cigarettes, which were given to him by Sun Pangzhi.

happily pretended to be a high-grade cigarette, and Chang Youli said again: "Mayor Li, I came here today, mainly to explain." I haven't been here for so long, in fact, I have an opinion about you, and I'm angry with you, of course I want to open it now. When I was building the road, I went to the office of your working group and heard you calling, saying that you were going to select outstanding village cadres to work in the town. For this goal, I have supported the road construction work with all my heart, and I have supported you since then.

But I've been waiting day after day, month after month, and now it's been two years, and there's not even a shadow of it. Ever since you got back to town, I've been wondering if you can transfer me to the town, and to check if there's such a thing. But every time the words came to my mouth, I either interrupted or dared not say them. In this ambivalence, it has been consumed until you are not the mayor of the town.

From the day you became the mayor of the town, I completely decided that the village cadres transferred to the town was your nonsense, which was to fool me into supporting you to build roads. Hope was shattered all of a sudden, I was angry, annoyed and hateful, I didn't scold you behind my back, but I didn't dare to scold others, I was afraid that someone would sue, and I felt really ashamed. If those village cadres knew about this, they wouldn't stink me for the rest of my life? Now they wonder why I was so motivated all of a sudden.

But these days, I think about it, I think it's really not easy for you, didn't you build the road for everyone? Later, he did everything possible for the sake of the town and the working group. You have put so much effort into introducing projects to Birch Back Village, not only for the good of the villagers, but also for me. Now I have daily contact with the project department, and I am very fulfilling, and we can also benefit from it in the future. I'm so old again, and I still want to do so much, it's time to be content. That's it, I just came to see you today, and I also want to tell Mayor Li that you don't have to worry about that matter, and don't have a psychological burden anymore. ”

Li Guanglei breathed a sigh of relief and was also moved, immediately stood up, came to the open space, and bowed deeply: "Secretary Chang, thank you!" ”

"Mayor Li, don't be like this, I used to be cautious." Often polite hurriedly returned the gift.

As soon as this knot was untied, Li and Chang were much more relaxed, and naturally talked about the things in front of them.

Chang Youli smacked his mouth: "Mayor Li, I really don't understand, why don't you be the mayor?" You've done a good job, and you've brought in those two big projects, so it's perfect for you. ”

Li Guanglei waved his hand gently: "The county has its own arrangements, and Mayor Diao is more suitable than me." ”

"Regardless of the new mayor, the key is not to do this to you, what is the county going to do?" Speaking of this, Chang Youli sighed, "Hey......"

"Ding Woo Bang", the bell rings.

Seeing that Mayor Li had something to do, he also said what he should have said, so Chang Youli got up and said goodbye and left the house.

The call was made by Ge Yuqing, and after asking if it was convenient, Ge Yuqing said: "Guanglei, let me tell you a piece of news, the county will transfer me to the county party committee office as deputy director." ”

Li Guanglei said happily: "Really? That's fine, anyway, the working group will be withdrawn immediately. The stall that the secretary of the dry bag did? How did you change the two of you? ”

"It's not a change. It is clear that I am ahead of the other deputy directors and actually preside over the daily work of the county party committee office. Ge Yuqing said again.

"Okay, that's good, the future ascension is just around the corner, congratulations!" Li Guanglei expressed his sincere intentions.

"There's nothing to congratulate, what to do, I'm an old man, and I don't have any ideas for a long time." Speaking of this, Ge Yuqing's tone changed, "It's you, who are young this year, can't always hang like this." I've heard that the new mayor is nice to you, but you can't both be so awkward. ”

Li Guanglei smiled: "Originally, I was a deputy mayor, and now I am still a deputy mayor, which is normal." ”

"But after all, you have been in charge of government work, what is the county going to do?" There was a helpless sigh on the phone.

Li Guanglei couldn't answer this question, so he also sighed.

Silence fell on both ends of the phone.

At this moment, Miao Lingling came, and Li Guanglei ended the call with Ge Yuqing.

Miao Lingling said when she entered the door: "What do you think?" It's a matter of work arrangement, don't pretend to be confused. ”

"I'm pretending to be confused, and I can do whatever my superiors arrange." Li Guanglei said in an indifferent tone.

"Hey, you're really boring, and I don't know if it's too deep." Miao Lingling pointed at the other party angrily, and then lowered her voice appropriately, "You should go to the event." ”

Li Guanglei hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't, don't, I won't do anything taboo." ”

"Who told you to bribe the leader? I mean, you have to communicate with the leader and take the initiative to recommend yourself, otherwise the leader may not know who you are, let alone your ability. For an unfamiliar person, leaders will not recommend it casually. After a pause, Miao Lingling said again, "If you don't have a very suitable person in the county, I can also help you find it." ”

It can be seen that the other party is indeed sincere in helping himself, but Li Guanglei still shook his head slowly.

"What the hell does it mean, what do you want to do?" Miao Lingling asked anxiously.

Li Guanglei did not reply immediately, but groaned.

"Tuk tuk", there was a knock on the door.

Li Guanglei said, "Come in."

The director of the party and government office and member of the organization committee walked into the room, handed a letter to Li Guanglei, and then withdrew.

Seeing the font on the envelope, Li Guanglei did not open it immediately, but said to Miao Lingling: "Mayor Miao, you go and get busy first." ”

Miao Lingling's face immediately showed displeasure, glanced at the envelope, and stood up: "Isn't it her letter, as for it?" After saying that, he stepped on the sound of "dong dong dong" and walked out of the house.

I couldn't wait to tear open the envelope, pull out the letter, and the familiar font and sentence jumped in front of me: Guanglei, everything is okay? You must be cold there, right? Every year before the Spring Festival, it is very cold in Yuanxi City, and you must add the word "more". I'm different here, the sun is shining, the temperature is ......

Looking at the text above, Li Guanglei could think of He Yumeng wearing cool clothes and a sunhat, and the photo he sent last time was dressed like this. Reading those common words, Li Guanglei's heart warmed, and he missed her even more from afar.

The beginning of a new page: I thought it would be half a year, at most a year, but now I've been out for more than a year, and I haven't heard any news of going back, so I really don't know when it will be?

Reading this, Li Guanglei couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, when!" ”

Continue to read, it is all about the desire to go home, as well as the longing for Li Guanglei, Li Guanglei reads it with emotion.

Reading and reading, Li Guanglei's brows furrowed slightly, blinked, and re-read the text just now: I haven't seen you for more than a year, and I don't know how you have become. Judging from the photos, it is much darker, but it is also stronger. I can see the face, but I don't know if there is an obstacle to the communication between the heart? Guanglei, we are far away now, and it is indeed not as convenient as the original communication. But I hope that no matter what happens, you can talk to me and communicate honestly. Honestly, okay?

"Honest? Am I not being honest? Li Guanglei muttered. Soon, he remembered something, Liu Qiaoying's phone call.

Yes, it must have been that, it must have been Liu Qiaoying gossiping to He Yumeng. Liu Qiaoying, why are you like this? That was originally a frame-up, don't you know, or deliberately pretending to be deaf and dumb? Thinking of this, Li Guanglei couldn't help gritting his teeth, annoying Liu Qiaoying and hating Zou Dapeng even more. He now feels more and more that He Yumeng said out of the state, and thinks that Zou Dapeng may have followed the troublemaker.

They make trouble, Yumeng, how can you believe it, how can you write such a letter, what is this for? Li Guanglei was blocked for a while, and he picked up his mobile phone and was about to dial, but he slowly put it down. Now that Yumeng is there late at night, how can I disturb her?

Then write a letter to talk about it, but when he picked up the pen, he couldn't write a word, Li Guanglei sighed lightly, and looked ahead in a daze.
