In the southern suburbs of Hechi, in a house similar to a courtyard house in Beijing, a gray-haired woman was tidying up her room, chattering as she cleaned up.

"Lao Gao, it seems that Baoguo hasn't been here for a few months. I always say I'm busy, I always say I'm busy, and I didn't come during the New Year. You said that it was so close, it would take less than half an hour to drive, and he was busy with it. And Yurong's dead girl, except for the New Year's Day, how long has it been, and she doesn't come to see me, I miss my eldest grandson......"

Gao Guangren was sitting on a rattan chair reading the newspaper, and when he heard his wife's words, he pushed the reading glasses on his nose, "It's only been a few days this year, and the children are also in school, so Yurong can't take care of the children at home." If you think about it, just go over it yourself, and bother all day long. ”

When the old lady heard Gao Guangren's words, she threw the rag on the table, and said angrily: "Why, if you don't want to listen to my nagging, you can go, go wherever you like." ”

Gao Guangren smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, if you like to nag, just nag, it's okay if I don't speak." As for your precious son-in-law, he called me yesterday and talked to me about something. But I didn't expect him to be in trouble today, if he didn't come tonight, he would definitely come tomorrow. ”

When the old lady heard this, she immediately became anxious: "Is he in trouble?" What trouble, serious or not? Lao Gao, he is your son-in-law, and he usually respects you, if you can't solve it, you have to help, if you don't help, I'm not done with you. ”

Gao Guangren shook his head helplessly: "It's not a big trouble, he did another stupid thing, and once again lost the opportunity to go up." ”

The old lady frowned and said, "Did he offend people, so he was suppressed?" ”

Gao Guangren sighed, "It's not about offending people, it's just that you're on the wrong side." Originally, this time he had the opportunity to get on the ship again, but he couldn't see through the details behind the matter, so he lost this opportunity. ”

The old lady shook her head: "I don't understand any of this, but you must help him." I don't know about others, but I still understand the kid Baoguo, who is dedicated to the country and the people, has always been conscientious, and has never been selfish, if such a good comrade is not promoted, it will be too bullying. ”

Gao Guangren said: "At the beginning, I felt that Baoguo was not suitable for being an official, only for politics. ”

The old lady said: "Isn't it the same thing to be an official and to be in politics? ”

Gao Guangren said with a smile: "It's different, there are so many government agencies, countless people in politics, and there are many so-called political stars, but they don't necessarily all sit in high positions." It's because they know where they stand, what position is right for them, what position allows them to show their ambitions and play to their strengths, and that's their success. Being an official is different, it's not that you are not corrupt, it's not that you just serve the country and the people. It also needs to have abilities beyond ordinary people, and also have a smart brain, a pair of sharp eyes and a sensitive sense of smell. Be able to analyze the pros and cons in a dense and complex environment, see through the important nodes hidden behind the dark clouds, smell the crisis, and thus seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so as to go higher. ”

The old lady opened her mouth and wanted to say something, when she heard the sound of the car brakes outside the gate, she looked up at the window, and saw Feng Baoguo walking quickly into the yard, "Baoguo is here!" ”

Gao Guangren looked at the time and said, "It seems that he is really in a hurry, and he ran over before he got off work." As soon as his words fell, Feng Baoguo had already opened the curtain and walked in, "Dad, Mom!" ”

The old lady couldn't close her mouth with a smile, "Baoguo, sit down quickly, I'll pour you tea." ”

"Mom, you don't have to be busy, I have something to tell Dad." Feng Baoguo sat on the sofa.

The old lady said: "I mentioned you to your father just now, saying that you are in trouble and will definitely come over, but I didn't expect you to really come, you talk first." After speaking, he went out to make tea.

Feng Baoguo has no surprises, don't look at Gao Guangren's retirement for a long time, but the connections in the province are still there, and those old subordinates often come to visit for the New Year's holidays. If there is any movement in the province, Gao Guangren knows before him.

"Dad, you know everything."

Gao Guangren nodded: "You went to see Qian Rong today?" ”

Feng Baoguo said: "I talked to you about Fan Hongyi yesterday, and you asked me to find Qian Rong and sell it to Yang Luo through Qian Rong, so as to gain the opportunity to get on the ship from scratch." I went to see him today, but I didn't expect that Yang Luo would come back, and after I left, the two of them must have met, but it was not clear what they talked about. It was only at noon that news came out in the province that Qian Rong was going to be transferred, and Huang Pingyi was going to join the provincial standing committee and take over Qian Rong's position. When I heard the news, I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't figure it out, I did everything I had to do, what went wrong? When he said this, Feng Baoguo's tone was faintly angry.

Gao Guangren's fingers tapped rhythmically on the armrest of the rattan chair, and said softly: "You tell me about the conversation you have with Qian Rong." ”

Feng Baoguo talked carefully about the conversation with Qian Rong, and after Gao Guangren listened, he sighed deeply: "Do you know what's wrong?" ”

Feng Baoguo was stunned for a moment, and Gao Guangren shook his head helplessly: "Since Yang Luo has come back, why don't you go to see him in person, but let Qian Rong tell Yang Luo?" ”

Feng Baoguo's face suddenly turned pale: "Could it be Qian Rong......?"

Gao Guangren waved his hand and interrupted Feng Baoguo's words: "You still don't know what the problem is, this matter has nothing to do with Qian Rong." ”

Feng Baoguo stopped talking, and Gao Guangren continued: "If Yang Luo doesn't come back, it's not a problem, but Yang Luo has already returned, and besides Qian Rong, you are the first to know that he is back, you should go to see him in person, or you should go with Qian Rong to see him." People can make mistakes, because no one is always right, but you make mistakes again and again, and you miss a good opportunity again, which is very fatal to people who play politics. ”

"Dad!" Feng Baoguo screamed softly.

Gao Guangren looked at him: "Haven't figured it out yet?" ”

Feng Baoguo nodded, and Gao Guangren said: "At the beginning, Yang Luo pushed Qian Rong to the throne, which was a nail in the province to ensure that the development of Dahua would not be lost. Now that Qian Rong has changed places, he will definitely not hand over such an important position to others. But there are not many people who are familiar with Guangxi and available, only you and Huang Pingyi. The most important point is that Huang Pingyi's qualifications are not enough, if my guess is correct, the first person he considers must be you. But you made a serious mistake, you knew in Qian Rong's mouth that he was back, but you still didn't go to see him in person, in other words, I would also think that you are not sincere, so will I give such an important position to someone who is not sincere? ”

At this time, the old lady brought the brewed tea, Gao Guangren took the teacup, blew the tea leaves floating on it, and took a sip: "After Qian Rong and Yang Luo meet, Qian Rong will definitely say that he has seen you before, and Yang Luo will also ask Qian Rong's opinion, who is the most suitable to take his place, Qian Rong recommended Huang Pingyi." ”

Feng Baoguo's face became more and more ugly: "It seems that Lao Qian's opinion of me is really deep, if he pushes me at this time, I think Yang Luo will definitely ......"

"No!" Gao Guangren interrupted Feng Baoguo's words, "If he still has prejudices against you, he will never tell you that Yang Luo has returned." When he said this, he was actually helping you and asking you to go with him to see Yang Luo. But you didn't go, and in this way, Yang Luo would kick you out again. In such a situation, how could Qian Rong recommend you? Even if Huang Pingyi's qualifications are not enough, Yang Luo will push him to the top. ”

Gao Guangren took another sip of tea, and this time put the teacup down, "Qian Rong is much smarter than you, which is why Yang Luo values his wishes so much." And you didn't see through the meaning of Qian Rong's words, and once again missed the opportunity. ”

Feng Baoguo's mouth was a little bitter, and he leaned on the back of the sofa weakly: "It seems that I am not wrong this time." ”

Gao Guangren sighed and said, "I told your mother just now that you are not suitable for being an official, only for politics. If a person wants to make a difference in officialdom, he does not have to follow the crowd, but he must be able to grasp the general trend, analyze the advantages and disadvantages in the turbulent situation, and pursue the advantages and avoid the disadvantages. ”

Feng Baoguo said: "I really don't have a chance? ”

"Yes!" Gao Guangren said, "It has only been a long time since Qian Rong took the position, and Yang Luo is going to transfer him away, so there must be a big move." The person Yang Luo wants to see next must be Huang Pingyi, it is estimated that he has now arrived in the city, you go back now, call Huang Pingyi, ask Yang Luo where he is, and then go to see him. ”

Feng Baoguo said: "But now that the rumor of Huang Pingyi's entry into the Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee has come out, even if I go to see Yang Luo, it is impossible to change the facts." ”

Gao Guangren smiled: "Huang Pingyi is on the throne, this can't be changed, but if you go to see Yang Luo, you may have unexpected gains." ”

Feng Baoguo's spirit perked up: "What harvest?" ”

Gao Guangren shook his head: "I don't know, it's just my guess." Even if there is nothing to gain, you still have to go to see him, this is a matter of sincerity, only in this way, he will push you when there is a chance in the future. Otherwise, you'll never get a chance. ”

Feng Baoguo stood up: "I'll go back!" ”

Gao Guangren nodded: "Right and wrong are always relative, if you do it right, you will get the corresponding benefits, and if you do it wrong, you will also pay the corresponding price." ”

Huang Pingyi looked at the time, packed up the documents on the desk, put on his coat and walked out of the office. In the past, he only thought about becoming the secretary of Dahua County, which was his ultimate goal. But later, because of the interests of Dahua and the contest of forces of all parties, the whole of Guangxi fell into a chaotic situation, and then he was transferred, although he was promoted, but at that time everyone understood that he was defeated in Maicheng and became a victim of the struggle. But no one expected that after Yang Luo came back, he turned things around, and soon he would come back to take charge of Hechi. At that time, he thought that he must follow in the footsteps of Yang Luo, or in the footsteps of the Chi family, and maybe one day he will be stationed in the provincial party committee. But he never thought that this day would come so quickly.

Half an hour ago, Huang Pingyi received a call from Yang Luo and asked him to meet after work. Now he felt that his steps were a little light, as if the whole person was floating, and his face was full of red light.

"Jingle Bell ......"

Suddenly, the phone in the office rang, Huang Pingyi turned around and walked back, and was stunned when he saw the caller ID, it was Feng Baoguo's phone.
