At half past three o'clock in the afternoon, the Land Rover car slowly drove into a beautiful garden community, Zhou Jing parked the car, took the sandalwood box, followed behind Wang Yannian, walked more than ten meters away, turned into a residential building, and went up to the fifth floor, Wang Yannian stopped, smiled, and knocked on the door gently.

The door was quickly pushed open, and a kind-looking old lady appeared at the door, she saw Wang Yannian, with a warm smile on her face, and hurriedly shook his hand, and said cordially: "It's Yannian, you haven't been here for a long time, come into the house, a few days ago, the old man was still talking about you, saying that you are doing a good job now, and his face is also very bright." ”

"Aunt Jiang, then I have to thank the old leader, without his old man's training, how can I have today, don't forget to dig wells, I made a special trip to the provincial capital today to visit you and the old leader." Wang Yannian was polite, then led Zhou Jing into the house, came to the sofa in the living room, the old lady brought fruit and melon seeds, and put on cigarettes, walked to the door of the study, pushed open the door, and greeted with a smile: "Old man, it's been delayed." ”

There was a burst of hearty laughter in the study, and an old man who was not tall, but very powerful appeared at the door of the study, looking at the two with a smile, Wang Yannian hurriedly grabbed the document bag and the sandalwood box, walked over quickly, and said respectfully: "Old Yin, I came to visit you." ”

The old man shook his hand and said kindly, "It's been a long time, let's sit inside." ”

Wang Yannian entered the study, waited for the old man to sit down, then pulled a chair and sat down, put the sandalwood box on the bookcase, opened it, took out the Longquan phoenix ear bottle, and said with a smile: "Old leader, I know that you like antiques now, so I specially brought a small gift, please smile." ”

The old man's face sank, and he said very majestically: "Yannian, I have said a long time ago, you are not allowed to bring gifts to the door, you just refuse to listen, although I have retreated, but I still have to abide by the rules, I can't accept expensive gifts, this is a matter of principle, and you can't be sloppy!" ”

Wang Yannian hurriedly leaned over and said softly: "Old leader, don't get me wrong, this thing is a fake, it only cost a few hundred yuan, and it was bought from the bazaar, and too expensive gifts are not daring to give it, for fear of being criticized by you!" ”

The old man smiled, picked up the Longquan phoenix ear bottle, played with it gently, and couldn't put it down, nodding and saying: "Although it is a fake, the workmanship is very fine, and it is not far from the genuine product in the Northern Song Dynasty. ”

When Wang Yannian heard this, he understood, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he hurriedly changed the topic: "Old leader, how are you doing recently?" ”

The old man smiled and nodded, put the Longquan phoenix ear bottle on the bookcase, and said a little reservedly: "It's okay, after all, I have retired, every day is to read books, read newspapers, and when I have time, take a few little guys to the park for a walk, and now my life is leisurely and free of disasters and diseases." ”

Wang Yannian nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "That's good, you have been working hard for most of your life, and now that your merits are complete, you should enjoy the joy of family." ”

The old man squinted his eyes, slapped his knees with his hand, and said with a smile: "Yannian, I still regretted it before, when I left Qingyang, I should have taken you out, but some time ago, I heard that you did a good job, so I was relieved, among these secretaries, I am most optimistic about you, do a good job, don't let me down." ”

Wang Yannian sighed, his face showed an indescribable look, and he said without words: "Old leader, you are clear, the situation in Qingyang is very complicated, it was like that ten years ago, but now it has not changed, but it has become more obvious. ”

"Oh?" The old man took a sip of tea, put down the cup, looked at Wang Yannian with warm eyes, and said quietly: "What's the matter, you are in trouble?" ”

Wang Yannian nodded lightly, opened the briefcase, took out a few letters from it, handed them over, and sighed: "It's hard to do work, I just made some achievements, and before I had time to breathe a sigh of relief, the guns and arrows were all beckoned, and it was really a blood!" ”

The old man glanced at him, did not say a word, took the letters, took out the letter, looked at it carefully, and after a few minutes, he dropped the letter, and said calmly: "It's all nonsense, do you know who is behind the trouble?" ”

Wang Yannian shook his head and said worriedly: "I don't know, but judging from the reporting materials, this person should be familiar with the work of the political axe, maybe a certain deputy mayor." ”

The old man stood up, held his hands behind his back, and paced in the study, and after a while, he stopped and muttered, "Is there a reaction from the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee?" ”

Wang Yannian nodded, thinking about it: "The leaders of the municipal party committee haven't talked to me yet, but since the Commission for Discipline Inspection has turned over the report letter, it should also show an attitude, at least, they still trust me at the moment." ”

The old man's expression was relieved, he returned to his seat, drank a few sips of tea, squinted his eyes and said: "Yannian, it's no problem for you to grasp the work, but in dealing with the relationship with colleagues, you have to be more cautious, and if it is not necessary, don't make enemies easily." ”

Wang Yannian frowned slightly, and calmly analyzed: "Old Yin, during this time, I have focused my work on the reform of state-owned enterprises and investment promotion, it may be that it has unintentionally touched the interests of some people, and there is also a possibility that someone regards me as a competitor." ”

The old man touched his forehead with his hand, and said lightly: "There is such a possibility, I have also heard that the recent restructuring of Qingyang state-owned enterprises has done a good job, put a big satellite, registered in the province, and in terms of attracting investment, it has also made hundreds of millions of investments, which proves that you are still very capable of working, but the action is a little earlier, and it is easy to become the target of public criticism." ”

Wang Yannian smiled bitterly, nodded and said: "Old leader, I won't tell you, I didn't want to be this budding bird, but sometimes the situation is urgent, so I can only bite the bullet, but I didn't expect that in just a few months, some people can't get used to it, and they will do everything possible to pull me off the horse." ”

The old man smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The problem is here, your political achievements came out too early, and they are too eye-catching, some people look red, their buttocks can't sit still, and it is normal to want to splash some dirty water." ”

Wang Yannian nodded, and said worriedly: "Now it's just a sign of it, if you let them toss, maybe you will be more passive, but you can't find out who did it, and there is no way to fight back!" ”

The old man thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "Yannian, don't worry, in a few days, I will go back to Qingyang with a few old guys to have a look, and by the way, I believe that the Qingyang Municipal Committee will handle it properly." ”

Wang Yanqing sighed and said emotionally: "At the critical moment, I still have to rely on the help of the old leaders, and I am really grateful for Yannian." ”

The old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing, although we people have retired, we must also care about the development of our hometown, and we must care for young cadres like you." ”

After speaking, he picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and asked casually: "How is Comrade Yunfeng doing in Qingyang, and he still has a tacit understanding with Comrade Li Weiye?" ”

Wang Yannian shook his head with a smile and said softly: "Secretary Li is still a little worried and refuses to let go of power. ”

The old man put down the cup and frowned: "What's not to worry about, Comrade Yunfeng is very politically mature!" ”

Wang Yannian nodded and said with a smile: "The old leader is right. ”

The old man smiled faintly and said softly: "Let's talk about the situation in Qingyang, be specific." ”

Wang Yannian hurriedly took out the black notebook from his briefcase, and talked about the prepared content on it in an orderly manner.

The old man sat in the chair, squinting and listening, nodding his head from time to time, with an intriguing smile on his face.

After Wang Yannian finished his report, he sat respectfully in his chair, ready to listen to the old man's teachings.

The old man didn't say anything, just raised his wrist and looked at the table below, and said softly: "Yannian, go down with me for a walk, and we will have dinner together." ”

Wang Yannian hurriedly stood up, nodded and said, "Okay, Old Yin." ”

The two went out of the study, Zhou Jing also got up to greet him, followed the two downstairs together, and after a while in the community, the old man took out his mobile phone, dialed the phone number, and said in a soothing tone: "Aihua, there are guests at home at night, you and Xiaoguan come over together." ”

Wang Yannian's face was overjoyed, and when the old man called, he leaned over and said softly: "Old leader, I heard that Comrade Guan Yumin has just made progress recently and has become the director of the Second Division of the Cadre of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and I haven't congratulated you yet!" ”

The old man smiled faintly, waved his hand and said: "There is nothing to be happy about, the two sons are not angry, but they were pressed by their son-in-law, and when I mention this, I feel a little unhappy!" ”

Wang Yannian laughed and joked: "A son-in-law and a half-son are actually the same." ”

The old man nodded and said with a smile: "This is also true, your Aunt Jiang usually enlightens me like this, but think about it, I put my mind on work at the beginning, and I didn't care enough about my two sons, and I also have a certain responsibility for their careers." ”

Wang Yannian hurriedly put away his smile and said solemnly: "Yes, the old leader really sacrificed too much for his work. ”

"No way, if you are willing to give it, if you don't give it, you can't get it!" The old man smiled faintly, stopped, turned his head to look at Zhou Jing, and said casually: "Yannian, your driver is young enough." ”

Wang Yannian smiled, shook his head and said: "Old leader, you can look away this time, he is the director of our China Merchants Office, Jinghu Group can invest in Qingyang, he can be regarded as the first hero!" ”

"Oh?" The old man looked Zhou Jing up and down, and said with interest: "Yes, the young man is not simple, and the future is terrifying." ”

Zhou Jing hurriedly smiled and said, "Elder Yin has won the award." ”

The old man smiled slightly and continued to ask, "How old is this year, are you twenty?" ”

Zhou Jing shook his head and said frankly: "Eighteen years old." ”

The old man showed an incredible expression on his face, and after a while, he smiled and said, "When I left Qingyang, you were still in elementary school, and speaking of which, I haven't been back to see it for a long time." ”

Wang Yannian only introduced from the side at this time: "Xiaojing, Yin Lao is the old mayor of our Qingyang City, and he is also the highest-level leader among the cadres who came out of Qingyang, and he enjoys high prestige in our Qingyang!" ”

The old man smiled faintly, waved his hand and said: "Yannian, you fart can be overdone, compared to prestige, no one can compare with Comrade Weiye, he is an evergreen tree in Qingyang's political arena, the mayor is like a marquee, but Comrade Weiye is as solid as a rock, this is the ability!" ”

After speaking, the old man sighed secretly, and a trace of imperceptible regret flashed in his eyes.
