Chapter 57: Talking
A few days later, Lu Zhengdong went to the provincial capital for a meeting, and he actually set off a day in advance in order to go to Liangmei's appointment.
In the spring, everything recovers, the suburbs are charming, the grass comes out of the soil, dyeing the earth green, fiery red rhododendrons, charming apricot blossoms, and delicate peach blossoms, all kinds of flowers compete with each other to bloom, all exude a faint fragrance from time to time wafting into the car window.
Along the way, Lu Zhengdong rarely spoke, staring at the scenery outside the window for a long time, but in fact, he was thinking about things, he has been very busy since the Chinese New Year today, so many people with good relationships want to invite him to a meal, Lu Zhengdong politely declined, but these times Lu Zhengdong and Liang Mei get along, I feel that this person has unique opinions on many things, and he is considered a leader, and the best among the people is nothing more than that
More importantly, two people have the advantage of helping each other, so they can talk about everything and get along well in many things.
Such a person, Lu Zhengdong is unwilling to exclude, especially the system behind Liang Mei, in the near future, will have greater achievements on the political stage, if he can form a natural alliance with such a force, for the common progress in the future, support each other, huddle together for warmth, and form a party for common prosperity, it is also an extremely valuable wealth in a bumpy and unpredictable life.
But Liang Mei's shortcomings in the handling of interpersonal relationships, the political arena has always been the most cruel ecological field, once people are in the officialdom, they must have some psychological characteristics, because only in this way can they grasp the odds of winning in the cage and become a leader, otherwise this road will be extremely hard, which is probably the main reason why Liang Mei is not as good as the mayor in the position of vice governor.
In the evening. Lu Zhengdong arrived in the provincial capital. Outside. The sky was blue, and there was a pleasant pigeon whistle in the air.
Lu Zhengdong asked the driver to drive the car directly into the provincial capital compound, and he called Liang Mei downstairs, and Liang Mei said:
"I've arrived at the place, you go to the river first, and I'll invite you to dinner."
Lu Zhengdong also left the provincial capital, went to the place Liang Mei said, and broke the driver away. Preparing to walk to the agreed place by himself, Lu Zhengdong thought about it, looked at the flower shop not far away, turned around and went in to buy a bunch of fresh lilies.
Liang Mei has called to book a room, Liang Mei is looking for a place The environment is quite good, unlike those seafood cities, big hotels or something, giving people a sense of chaos, Lu Zhengdong likes the feeling of dining quietly, the atmosphere here seems to be deliberately catering to his taste, it seems. Liang Mei also took a lot of thought to choose this place.
Wait for the waiter to go out. Liang Mei stood up with a smile, Lu Zhengdong saw Liang Mei's dress before was always the kind of professional woman's outfit, the color was a darker suit, but today it was a little different, although it was still a formal suit, but it was not as strict as the one I had seen before, a milky white suit, a royal blue shirt, and two light-colored butterflies were embroidered on the collar of the lapel shirt, dancing, as if to lift the collar to let people see the spring color inside, the neckline was loose, the long neck was like a beautiful white swan, and the hem reached the crook of the leg, exposed a slender jade leg, which set off her figure even better.
In fact, Liang Mei looks good no matter what she wears, that is a kind of temperament, a woman's temperament comes from the heart, is the real beauty of a woman, and is also the real charm of a woman, temperament is a woman's durable fashion and cosmetics, even if it is ordinary clothes, plain face to the sky, standing there like a proud snow Hanmei, standing in a quiet valley, quiet and elegant blooming, no matter how many people around her look at her, it is like being alone in an empty field.
And Liang Mei looked at Lu Zhengdong, looked at the flower in his hand, and couldn't help but hesitate.
What does it mean that Lu Zhengdong sent her flowers?
Lu Zhengdong stood in front of her, his gaze was clear, without any impurities, and without any lust, but this gaze was enough to make Liang Mei a little confused. He couldn't figure out Lu Zhengdong's intentions, but he wanted to know!
"Do you know what day it is?"
Lu Zhengdong said suddenly.
Liang Mei shook her head, she couldn't think of why, so she smiled, and An Xin waited for Lu Zhengdong to uncover the mystery.
Lu Zhengdong smiled and handed over the flower and said:
"Happy birthday."
Birthday?!
Liang Mei couldn't help but cover her mouth: God, why did you forget this?!
It's no wonder that she, she was busy with work, and it seems that women of her age have such problems, except for the birthdays of their loved ones, everything else has been forgotten in their minds, and as for herself, even if she thinks about it, she has never been interested.
As soon as a woman is over thirty, one more birthday is one more wrinkle.
But today, Liang Mei's heart is different, Lu Zhengdong actually remembers her birthday, as if she never mentioned it to him, how did he know? Liang Mei was puzzled and surprised.
Her heart was no longer hot, and at this moment, how much she wanted to throw herself into his arms and release all this romance and gratitude into his arms.
Lu Zhengdong saw that her face was so red that she was about to become the same color as roses, and said with a smile: "It is said that lilies represent friendship, in my opinion, she represents beauty, and I wish our governor to be young and beautiful forever." ”
Liang Mei choked in her throat, held the flowers, and muttered:
"I was intoxicated by the joy."
Lu Zhengdong smiled, clothes and flowers are always a woman's favorite.
"That's good, I'm afraid you don't like this bouquet, I'm still hesitating, whether to send it."
Liang Mei smiled, the light in the private room was very tender, Liang Mei had a dream hallucination, she closed her eyes happily, today's surprise made her both happy and dizzy, she had a feeling of being pierced by happiness.
"Thank you, Jeongdong."
For the first time in her life, Liang Mei called Lu Zhengdong's name, and she could hear the sound of her heart pounding.
Lu Zhengdong's eyes moved, as if he was expecting something, and seemed to be hiding from something, and when he heard Liang Mei change his name, his lips moved, as if he was exerting a lot of strength, before he said:
"I really wish you happiness and happiness."
The meal lasted for a long time, and Liang Mei pushed away all the work, and later. He turned off his phone as well. They talked a lot in between. Talking about their acquaintance. From the several hard tasks of the provincial government this year, he talked about the predicament faced by An Xin, and later talked about the governor and Qiu Zhi'an.
Now the situation has reached the point where it is impossible not to fight back, there were some knots between her and Qiu Zhian in the past, but this kind of discord is also looming, if it is about to leave, it is hazy, and the two of them are also harmonious when they meet. Once the contradiction is completely made public, I am afraid that many people will make waves, and people always bully the weak and fear the hard, then her situation will be even more difficult.
"You are now at home in Anxin City......
Liang Meiyou said as if muttering to herself.
Lu Zhengdong really shook his head: "That's just the appearance, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor are not in tune, how can life be better?" ”
Lu Zhengdong is not modest but really feelings, although many people are now turning to him, most of the senior leaders in Anxin City have this mentality, because the so-called feelings in officialdom are almost all based on a profit. No one wants to see a big ship about to sink and hold their ground, looking at death as if they were home. Such a person will be ridiculed as a joke in officialdom, because this officialdom has never been a place where morality, morality, and loyalty are emphasized.
Lu Zhengdong has a very thorough understanding of these psychological things, as long as Zhan Jidong is in Anxin for a day, he still can't take it lightly, otherwise once Zhan Jidong gains an advantage, many people will immediately change their courts.
Liang Mei also worked in the city, and knew that Lu Zhengdong was right, so she didn't say this anymore at the moment, but said:
"The question is how to stop them."
Lu Zhengdong nodded, this is the crux of the matter, it is easy to counterattack and put on a tough posture, but the specific details of the operation, what kind of way to use to fight, where is the entry point of the counterattack? And such a counterattack must not anger the governor too much, these are the most important things at the moment.
Lu Zhengdong thought for a while and said:
"There was a donkey, and a man led it to the mill, and put it on it, and let it pull the mill. But the donkey said nothing and didn't move. Angry, the man raised his leather whip and whipped it violently. However, the more he hit the donkey, the more he did not move.
At this time, the man's daughter-in-law came to the mill and stopped her husband's actions. She gently walked up to the donkey and stroked its body with her hands. Then he untied his apron from his waist and put a blindfold on the donkey. After saying "drive", I didn't expect the donkey to obediently pull up and grind. This kind of donkey grinding, blindfolded every day, I don't know what kind of work I do, I don't know how many times I have to turn every day, as long as the owner let it stop, just stop, as long as the owner does not stop, it will keep grinding, there is a local minor key to describe it, donkey pull mill, it can't go out of which circle, the toad in the well can see, a palm-sized piece of heaven.
And in addition to the donkey that pulls the mill, there is also the donkey that pulls the cart, and the donkey that pulls the cart cannot be blindfolded, so the only way to make it go forward according to the owner's requirements is to use a whip......"
Liang Mei seriously thought about what Lu Zhengdong said, this is actually talking about how to get her out of trouble at present, whether it is blindfolded or whipped, to make the people below feel the pressure from her, just like the governor gave her pressure, so that there is no need to have a head-on conflict with the governor, and Qiu Zhian is only the secretary general after all, and many things don't have to pay attention to him at all......
"For thousands of years, the Chinese people have a kind of worship for rights in their own blood and bones, even if this right has nothing to do with them, even if the people who hold the authority are dealing with it perfunctorily, they are still pleased and deeply honored, this may be a kind of servility, but it is the most realistic political ecology."
Liang Mei thought for a while and said:
"This is really against my principles of being a man."
Lu Zhengdong also smiled:
"Don't keep thinking about principles, some things don't hurt principles, we let them die. Think about it, how many positions are occupied by unsuitable people, and how many people who should be reused are not reused? There is always a gap between reality and ideals, and it is also a principle to make appropriate adjustments. ”
"This is also a principle?"
Liang Mei's eyes widened, she really didn't expect Lu Zhengdong to say this in addition to beating around the bush, which made Liang Mei a little surprised.
Of course, it is not cost-effective to fully understand this principle for the development of work, but it is not cost-effective to bring unnecessary trouble and resistance because of it. In our work, we must not only adhere to principles, but also learn to make use of them and make appropriate concessions in order to carry out our work better. ”
Liang Mei was silent. It's the first time she's heard of the use of principles, but if you think about it, how many principles in reality are not adhered to by people, but used by people?
This is self-explanatory, principle two words, different occasions have different uses. Some people use principles to oppress others, some people use principles to attack others, and some people use principles to seek benefits for themselves that they should not seek. There are also some seemingly absurd and ridiculous things, once you put on the hat of principle, it is immediately legal.
She admitted that Lu Zhengdong did not want her to give up the principle of being a man, but from another perspective, Lu Zhengdong's words were right.
Anyway, Liang Mei ate happily at this meal, and Lu Zhengdong's sincerity in putting himself in her shoes was already proving to her that he had her in his heart.
When Lu Zhengdong was talking, Liang Mei looked attentive and listened very attentively, and occasionally, she also interjected and said some different opinions. She liked this feeling very much, just like that, she looked at Lu Zhengdong stupidly, admired his smile, and listened to his narration.
Maybe this is a secret love, Liang Mei couldn't help but smile a little dumbly in her heart, it seems that a secret crush will also become an addiction, silently put Lu Zhengdong in her heart, and don't break the mysterious tranquility, just like everyone cherishes a picture in their hearts, no one knows what kind of scenery is in the painting, except for themselves, this feels good.
Lu Zhengdong also felt that when he was with Liang Mei, there was no pressure at all, it was completely like a reunion of a pair of old friends, and in his heart, there was no psychological barrier, which was different from other women, this was completely relaxing.
In Liang Mei's somewhat pious eyes, Lu Zhengdong has a sense of pride and self-confidence, at this time, he doesn't think about anything anymore, that is, he says what he wants to say, which feels really good.
Lu Zhengdong can also feel the flow of Liang Mei's affection, Liang Mei is indeed a very attractive woman, whether it is appearance, temperament or identity, but he still restrains himself, because the identities of the two people are too sensitive, which is destined to some things can not be like ordinary people, he doesn't want to affect Liang Mei's reputation because of himself, and he doesn't want any scandals to come out, and he still has a longer way to go, and a greater goal in life......
There are many times when Liang Mei has to admire Lu Zhengdong's wisdom and sophistication, and Lu Zhengdong's foresight and analysis are by no means conjectures or coincidences, but are based on rich experience and profound knowledge, coupled with his extraordinary insight, in-depth research, and careful analysis and judgment, so as to draw the judgment of objective laws.
She also believes that Lu Zhengdong will go to a bigger stage in the future, and she is not enough to be her competitor at all, which makes her can't help but have something strange flowing in her heart...... (To be continued......)
