After eating at noon, Zhou Jing drove away from the compound of the Municipal Party Committee, went to a nearby Chinese medicine store, handed a prescription to the middle-aged aunt in the pharmacy, and asked her to take the medicine according to the prescription. ”

Zhou Jing was slightly stunned, and immediately made a big red face, rubbed his hands and said, "Auntie, don't get me wrong, I bought it for my colleague!" ”

"No wonder!" The aunt took the prescription, opened the drawer, and began to grab the medicine, about ten minutes later, she wrapped the medicinal materials, handed them to Zhou Jing, and advised: "Tell your colleague, although this recipe is very good, but it is too domineering, it is best not to take it directly, it is good to soak in wine and drink, and don't drink too much each time, two dollars is enough, and you can change the medicine after soaking it three times." ”

"Okay, okay." Zhou Jing nodded again and again, and after paying the money, he left the pharmacy in a very embarrassed manner, he didn't expect that the prescription opened by Yu Manting was actually used for aphrodisiac, it can be seen that the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, in addition to grasping the revolution to promote production, did not forget to regulate the body and pursue beauty. Sexual blessing life, under his influence, Zhou Jing is now also full of licorice white peony and five plus skin.

When I returned to the office, I suddenly found that there were guests in the room, including Zhou Lifeng, the head of the organization, Wei Heping, the deputy mayor, and Huang Yelin, the mayor of Nanguan Town, who had just completed the discharge procedures.

About ten minutes later, after the laughter, the door opened, and the three of them rushed out, Zhou Jing got up and greeted the three of them, said hello, and sent them out of the door, only to take the package of Chinese medicine, knocked on the door and entered the inner room, handed over the medicinal materials, and reminded in a whisper according to the instructions of the middle-aged aunt in the pharmacy: "Secretary Manting, the pharmacy reminds that this prescription cannot be taken directly, and it must be drunk in wine!" ”

"Got it, it's hard work, sit down!" Yu Manting nodded with a smile, opened the drawer, stuffed the Chinese medicine into it, and stretched out his hand to point to the leather chair in front of him, motioning for him to sit down, holding his hands on his chest, staring at Zhou Jing with burning eyes, and whispering, "How are you preparing?" ”

Although it was not specified, Zhou Jing knew that Secretary Manting was concerned about the same thing, and it seemed that these leaders had made a lot of effort and wanted to show themselves in front of the provincial party committee bosses, but the time had not yet come, and they didn't know what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourds.

Zhou Jing smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Fortunately, the development zone is very well prepared, and the secretary general also ran a special trip in accordance with the route in the morning, and it feels good, as if no obvious problems have been found, as for the provincial capital, I will run again tomorrow, and finally confirm!" ”

Yu Manting nodded, slowly took out a cigarette, stuffed it into his mouth, lit it and took a puff gently, reached out and picked up a material sealed in the file bag, handed it over very casually, and said in a low voice: "Zhou Jing, this material is very important, help me hand it in tomorrow, how about it?" ”

Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment, glanced at the material, and then woke up, couldn't help frowning slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "Secretary Manting, it's not good to do this, I'm afraid that it will be self-defeating, and it will cause Deputy Secretary Li's disgust, he reiterated many times, this time, but ask about the following things, and don't be a referee." ”

Yu Manting glanced at Zhou Jing, frowned and took a few puffs of cigarette, and said in an unquestionable tone: "No, the problems reflected in the materials are very realistic and very important, and they objectively reflect some of Qingyang's problems, Deputy Secretary Li will be interested when he sees it." ”

Zhou Jingjian couldn't refuse, so he had to take the materials and smiled reluctantly: "Okay, Secretary Manting, I'll try to transfer the materials as much as possible." ”

"Not as much as possible, but by necessity!" Yu Manting dusted off his cigarette ashes, accentuated his tone, and took out a few brown paper envelopes from the table, handed them to Zhou Jing, and said in a low voice: "There are a few letters here, all of them are for opinions, some people want to make things bigger, and they are pressed down by me, you take it and take a look, as for the problems mentioned in it, if there is one, it will be changed, and if there is none, it will be encouraged!" ”

Zhou Jing was confused when he heard this, took a few letters, took out the letter paper inside, frowned and looked at it, but found that the content of these letters was similar, they were all anonymous report letters, which accused Zhou Jing of embezzling public funds, buying luxury cars, and maintaining improper relationships with many women, including not only the names of Qin Xiaoqian and Zheng Xiuzhen, but also Miao Chunxiu's mother and daughter, and fabricated a lot of absurd things, which were foul language and extremely slanderous.

After reading the letter, Zhou Jing was secretly frightened, but he still remained calm, threw down the letter, and said with a relaxed expression: "Secretary Manting, the contents of these report letters are all nonsense, if the organization does not believe it, you can investigate it at any time!" ”

Yu Manting frowned and smoked a cigarette, and after a while, he said softly: "I believe it, but people are terrible, in terms of private life, you still have to pay special attention to it, the nanny at home, and the two children, it is best to move out and not leave a truth for others." ”

Zhou Jing thought for a while, and reluctantly said, "Okay, Secretary Manting, I will arrange it as soon as possible." ”

Yu Manting sighed, extinguished the cigarette, picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and said with a solemn face: "It should be those people, they always make a fuss about the people around me, last time they arrested Huang Yelin, this time it is clear that they want to deal with you again, don't use you to make a fuss, make me stink, and completely get out of power, they won't settle down!" ”

Zhou Jing frowned slightly, secretly suspicious, if he hadn't just gotten some extremely hidden information from Secretary General Cai Sicheng, he would naturally believe these words, but now thinking about it, the person who made the trouble could not be Li Weiye, it should be someone else.

His eyes fell on the material, and he suddenly remembered that Yu Manting arranged for him to buy aphrodisiacs, Zhou Jing's heart jumped a few times, and he secretly wondered, could this be some kind of hint from Yu Manting, which means that he has pinched some of his own handles, and wants to use this as a threat to force himself to take a stand, and choose to stand on his side completely in this political turmoil in the officialdom of Qingyang City?

Thinking like this, he felt more and more that it was possible, but he didn't show any strange looks, just followed the topic, and pretended to be angry: "These people are really not like words, in order to achieve the goal, unscrupulous means, I am not afraid of investigation in terms of economy and life style." ”

"That's good, for you, for Ye Lin, I'm relieved." Yu Manting smiled firmly, stood up, walked to the window, took a small watering can, poured water into the flower pot on the windowsill, and said slowly: "I am a person who does things, that is, I have clear grievances and grievances, I only engage in conspiracy, not conspiracy, and I also believe in a truth, that is, if people do not offend me, I will not offend others, if people offend me, I will offend others." ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, turned around, looked at Zhou Jing with sharp eyes, and said softly: "This time with them, we have to fight to the end, there is no possibility of negotiation, everyone must be mentally prepared, no one should be lucky!" ”

Zhou Jing listened to it, and sighed in his heart, knowing that since Yu Manting released cruel words, it also means that this material is extremely important, once it is submitted, it is equivalent to a showdown with the opponent, no matter who wins or loses, the consequences will become very serious, there is no doubt that this is a hot potato, it is not easy to take it, but it can't be ignored!

After pondering for a long time, he took the brown paper bag and said cautiously: "Okay, Secretary Manting, I will hand over the materials, but you also have to think about it carefully, if Deputy Secretary Li gets the materials, after reading them, will he have other thoughts about Qingyang's team?" ”

After Yu Manting returned to his desk, he pulled a chair and sat down, and said with a solemn expression: "It shouldn't be, the first thing is strong, and then the first thing is to suffer, now at this time, there is no need to hesitate, if we don't send materials, others will also take the opportunity to make trouble, instead of letting them make the wicked sue first, it is better for me to be this wicked person, as long as I win, everything is easy to say!" ”

Zhou Jing was silent for a long time before he got up and said, "Secretary Manting, if there is nothing else, I will go back first." ”

"Don't worry, let's talk about it, we have to talk thoroughly, and we have to have a heart-to-heart relationship!" Yu Manting raised his right hand, made a gesture, motioned for him to sit down, then got up, personally made tea for Zhou Jing, handed him a cigarette, lit it himself, frowned and said: "Officialdom is not waiting for people, I have worked there for two terms, and I will soon have a complete merit, I am only four years younger than him, I can't go up this time, according to the principle of five stays and six don't stay, there will definitely be no chance next time, and the best place to go is to go to the National People's Congress as a deputy director." ”

Zhou Jing took out the lighter, lit the cigarette, frowned, took a puff, nodded, and said softly: "Secretary Manting, I know this, after the age of fifty-six, it must be one-size-fits-all, and there are few exceptions." ”

Yu Manting snorted, rubbed his eyebrows with his hands, and said slowly: "I have been in Qingyang for so long, starting from the head of the unit, step by step, it took me most of my life to get to my current position, logically speaking, I should be content, even if I can't be the secretary of the municipal party committee, I can retire with peace of mind and live for a long time, but in fact, this is not good, when I was in power, Huang Yelin was arrested, and he was going to commit suicide by cutting his wrists, if I retired, what should they do?" Including you, what should someone do if someone wants to use those shady methods to rectify you and unify you? People are like this, sometimes it's not that they don't want to retreat, but that there is no way out at all! ”

These words were filled with righteous indignation and extremely emotional, which made Zhou Jing also a little infected, so he nodded and said softly: "Secretary Manting, I know that it is not easy for you to be very difficult, there are too many things to consider. ”

Yu Manting smiled faintly, picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, softened his tone, and said slowly: "The biggest difference between me and that side is that I value feelings, all the cadres who have been with me, I treat them as good friends and my own people, this is why those people are willing to take risks with me, that side is different, 'he' only has himself in his eyes, in order to protect his interests, others can be sacrificed, he is as hard as iron, he only talks about interests, not feelings!" ”

Zhou Jingjing nodded and said with a smile: "I know this, when he was in the hospital, Liang Baocheng seemed to have expressed similar feelings. ”

Yu Manting smiled faintly and said vaguely: "Zhou Jing, you are still very smooth, you are not yet twenty, and you became a deputy section-level cadre, I am different, I became a deputy section at the age of thirty, and it took three years to stay up, and I was transferred to the main section level at thirty-three, and I was delayed in the town for a few years, and I only entered the Standing Committee team at the age of forty, you are very good, if you can seize the opportunity, you can reach the goal at the age of thirty-two or thirteen, and you will have a bright future in the future." ”

Zhou Jing naturally knew what these words meant, but his face was still calm and unmoved, he knew that officialdom was full of fraud and betrayal, this kind of empty check with red mouth and white teeth was useless, and examples of crossing the river and demolishing bridges abounded, when a person has no use value, no one will be willing to fulfill his promise, therefore, no matter how beautiful the promise, it can only be heard as a fairy tale, and cannot be easily believed.

Yu Manting saw it, frowned slightly, and continued: "Minister Zhou is old, he doesn't have much ambition, peace is the same, he should retire after a few more years, let's count you and Ye Lin young, I have high hopes for the two of you, and even, the future of Qingyang will be decided by the two of you, I will count my words and never break my word!" ”

"Secretary Manting, let me think about it again." Zhou Jing smiled, got up and took a few materials, and walked out with a solemn expression!
