In the 80s of the last century, City C built a park around the lake, but there was no additional investment in the later period for renovation and construction. In recent years, the city government of C has planned and decided to build a livable residential area around the lake under the premise of protecting the lake ecosystem. There have been people who are proficient in feng shui to evaluate this land, "Look up to the deer and lie on the pure moon, hang the corner room and leave the hyper, Gongming raises the whip to urge the tiger, and Wenqu sits cross-legged in the shape of a dragon." "This year, Zhiyuan Group won the auction at a sky-high price, which caused an amazement. What's even more amazing is that Zhiyuan Group divided a quarter of the land king to build a school, and this kind of education feed back from the people who dig wells has been strongly supported by the government and highly praised by the people.

In Xiao Xun's cognition, this kind of complicated procedure, which requires multi-level review and approval, cannot be taken down in a year and a half, and as the director of the office of the agency, he knows the difficulties very well. In the system, without the strict restrictions of the system and the layers of checks by various departments, security and stability will be empty talk, but in the minds of some people, it seems that it is not like the style of some yamen, and the high posture is the way and habit of expressing attitude, and the state has been emphasizing the improvement of work efficiency, which may be caused by the positive trend.

But unexpectedly, two months later, the instructions of Zhiyuan Group to bid for the establishment of the school were issued to the Education Bureau of C City, and the red-headed document was stamped with a bright red seal. After getting the approval, the first step of their business strategy was passed, and I was very relieved to think that during this period, I helped Feng Xiaoling with the toss of various departments. He then made a copy, archived the original, and went to report to Chen Ju with the document disposal form, Chen Ju looked at the document, his expression was very complicated, amazed, joyful, disdainful, and deep. This surprised Xiao Xun, he was confident in his ability to observe words and feelings, why was Lao Chen's mood so upset? "Go, I know, file the file, you go and notify the Zhiyuan Group, let them send someone to pick up the approval, the ventilation meeting will not be opened, you just actively cooperate with them, and come to me if you encounter difficulties." Such an instruction made Xiao Xun wonder, according to Lao Chen's style of doing things, this kind of brilliant thing would definitely invite the city leaders and the senior management of the Zhiyuan Group to the Education Bureau to hold a symposium or something, why is it so low-key unusually? This made Xiao Xun puzzled.

Xiao Xun sent a voice message to Feng Xiaoling, and soon Feng Xiaoling replied, "Excellent, I'll send someone to pick it up, I'll go back to the capital for the New Year if I'm not in City C in the near future, and I'll return on the third day of the new year, and I'll be dressed in the cold." Then she posted a selfie of shopping in Xidan, she didn't seem to have slept well recently, and she couldn't hide her fatigue with light makeup. Xiao Xun replied, "See you in the new year, take care." ”

During the Spring Festival, Zhou Yang took the child back to his parents' house in H Province, and Xiao Xun stayed in his hometown in the Northeast. The whole country celebrated, and when the family was reunited, Xiao Xun accompanied his grandfather and Xiao's father for a drink. After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, I began to have a video group chat with Wang Qiang, Li Xian, and Shu Xin, and each reported this year's performance and plans for the coming year. Wang Qiang resigned from a Japanese company and planned to go it alone, and entered the catering industry, saying that he was short of money and asked everyone to make up for it. Li Xian said that this year's urban water supply and drainage design saved a small county town in the flood disaster in Y Province, and continued to be a Super Mario this year, and shared part of the experience of a new self-entertaining project "Swinging Fish Tank". Shu Xin's side period is almost over, and she has not yet made up her mind whether to return to the Northeast from Q Province or continue to stay in the Northwest as a barrister. In short, everyone is usually busy, and only at this time can we talk a few more words. The four brothers said a lot of things that missed each other, and their hearts were still full of heart and blood.

At one o'clock in the morning, the fireworks were already cold, the sound of firecrackers was thin, and Xiao Xun suddenly received a call from Chen Ju. "Xiao, give you a New Year's greeting, I'm on duty in the bureau, and when you arrive at the gate of the community in ten minutes, your sister-in-law will drive to find you." Putting down the phone, Xiao Xun was thinking about Lao Chen's intentions while getting dressed.

The early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year is still deep, the air is filled with the smell of smoke and ashes, the starry sky is clear, and the lights of thousands of homes in the world are bright. There was no one on the street, Xiao Xun watched a BMW 730 coming from a distance and stopped beside him. Chen Ju's wife is the leader of the key high school in City C, she is ten years younger than Lao Chen, and her glamorous makeup looks like a. Xiao Xun was a little cold, and his handle was close to the air conditioner, which was a brand-new BMW car, and the red silk on the air conditioner swayed with the warm wind. "Sister-in-law, what is the matter with Chen Ju calling me?"

"The Chinese New Year is busy, it's all my own family, I'll make a long story short." Chen's wife said, "Your eldest brother said that you have done a good job in the affairs of the Zhiyuan Group, and I will bring you something during the New Year." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a travel bag in the back seat, "There are 300,000 cash in here, and two bottles of Louis XIII." Xiao Xun looked at her, and then looked at the package behind her, and his heart was beating wildly. Sister-in-law, this ...... What does that mean? ”

Chen's wife smiled, "I guess you'll ask that." Give your big brother a call. ”

Xiao Xun dialed Lao Chen's phone, clicked the recording button, and Lao Chen on the other end of the phone said with a smile, "Xiao, the money is a thank you fee from the Zhiyuan Group, and it is considered a bribe if it is given to you directly, and your sister-in-law will give you a red envelope and a red envelope for your child." The wine is my brother's I gave to your dad, so that our old buddies' feelings. I'll give it to you at this time, even if it's a New Year's greeting for you, take it. Xiao Xun and Lao Chen exchanged a few polite words and agreed to accept this generous gift.

Xiao Xun looked at the BMW car in the distance, and felt that the package in his hand was extremely heavy, he didn't do anything for the Zhiyuan Group, even if he did some, it was not worth so much money, it seems that the situation will be more complicated in the future, but this also directly determined Xiao Xun's original judgment, and this project of the Zhiyuan Group will definitely have something unsightly. This is the first time in his life to take a bribe, he can clearly feel the temptation of money, he feels that he has read the sage books for so many years is useless, can only be exchanged for a meager salary, why so many people in the world are chasing power and status, because there are always huge economic benefits behind huge risks, and academic qualifications are never the key to opening the door to sudden wealth. He did not refuse to accept the money, and in addition to the temptation, he also knew the consequences of not accepting it, which could be even more serious than the risk of touching the bottom line. Xiao Xun didn't move the money, he remitted the money to Wang Qiang as start-up capital. As for the wine, he sent a bottle to Li Xian and Shu Xin.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Feng Xiaoling had no news, and Xiao Xun was a little uneasy. He really wanted to know the story behind the money from Feng Xiaoling, of course, he also enjoyed the time with Feng Xiaoling, they only shook hands with each other when they first met, but in the later days, there was never any physical touch, but Xiao Xun could clearly feel that his soul had been blended with Feng Xiaoling countless times, and he was eager to hold her in his arms and possess every inch of her skin.

In the past few months, Xiao Xun has also been collecting information about Zhiyuan Group. This enterprise is very interesting, it was founded at the beginning of the new century, initially just a small company engaged in seafood wholesale business in G Province, two years later suddenly changed to the main logistics and then went public, although there is no big business in the business, but the stock has been rising, as if there is a very strong force behind him to empower it, eight years ago, Zhiyuan Group turned to real estate, has built a large number of high-end residences in the central cities of southwest China and Southeast Asian countries. Later, with the impact of the US subprime mortgage crisis in the world, the share price of Zhiyuan Group plummeted, and after two years of silence, the group's shares were restructured, and the current chairman is called Chu Qi in Zhiyuan Holdings 83%, Chu Qi is not Chinese, she is a Chinese Thai, and does not live in China all year round, Shen Liang, CEO of Zhiyuan Group, is Chu Qi's husband.

Feng Xiaoling has mentioned Shen Liang to Xiao Xun more than once, this person's experience is legendary, he is a native of the capital, joined the army at the age of 18, participated in the self-defense counterattack war in southern China, was seriously injured and rescued, after being discharged from the army, has been doing business in Thailand, a few years ago Shen Liang returned to China to take over to the Yuan Group, since then the Yuan Group has been run by the wind and water. Feng Xiaoling's father and Shen Liang are old comrades-in-arms, and after Feng's father died on the front line, Feng Xiaoling has been sponsored by Shen Liang.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, a news from the Capital 301 Hospital exploded in the bureau, and Deputy Director Yang died of lung cancer deteriorating. Lao Chen organized an emergency team meeting, and Xiao Xun attended the meeting as an observer, mainly because the research bureau sent a car to the capital to pick up the ashes of the Yang Bureau and prepare for the memorial service. At the meeting, Lao Chen cried for a while, recalled many touching moments of working with Director Lao Yang, and suggested that the Organization Department draw up a special report meeting to learn Lao Yang's work deeds. After the meeting, Lao Chen left Xiao Xun in the conference room.

"Now that Lao Yang is dead, I'll tell you a secret." Lao Chen's mysterious appearance made Xiao Xun worried. "Do you know who made the report call about your Zhouyang's work the year before last?"

Xiao Xun was stunned for a while, "Old Yang? ”

"Yes, it's him, I specifically inquired about this matter and reported it with my real name!" Lao Chen's gaze became vicious, "There are always people who do bad things, but I have to know who the bad guys are, even if I can't take the initiative to attack, I must be on the defensive at any time." We've got people up there. As he spoke, he pointed to the ceiling.

Xiao Xun suddenly felt dizzy, his blood pressure soared, he didn't know why Lao Yang did this, but Zhou Yang made a fake work resume and the idea of the title certificate was Lao Chenzhi's recruitment, at that time, the list of personnel to be hired by the personnel bureau had been publicized for the third day, and Zhou Yang's work was a certainty after seven days, and a report call was made to the provincial department, and Zhou Yang's recruitment was stopped. Zhou Yang was lactating when he got the news, and he was weaned the next day.

"So, you must hold his position in your hands, otherwise you will be sorry for your wife." Lao Chen patted Xiao Xun on the shoulder and said, "When the memorial service is over, I will communicate with the city leaders and immediately promote you to deputy director." ”

Xiao Xun couldn't remember how he got out of the conference room, he only felt that his ears were ringing, his breathing was uneven, and his hands were shaking badly.

When she came to her senses, Feng Xiaoling had been waiting in Xiao Xun's office for more than half an hour, and when she saw Xiao Xun walking into the room with a notebook on his mind, she couldn't help but laugh, "Xiao Xun, what made you lose your soul?" You're not like someone who has lost three souls and seven spirits. Did you miss me? ”

Xiao Xun looked at her and smiled bitterly, "Don't make fun of me, I'm really out of my body." How's it going, how are you doing? I'll treat you to dinner. ”

Feng Xiaoling said, "Of course you want to invite me to dinner, I came to congratulate you on your double happiness." ”

Xiao Xun said, "What kind of double happiness is coming?" ”

Feng Xiaoling said, "Deputy Director Xiao will take office soon, and his sister-in-law is not at home. Isn't that a joy? ”

Xiao Xun looked at the office door smartly, quickly walked over and looked out of the door, then closed the door, turned around and glared at Feng Xiaoling.

Feng Xiaoling said angrily, "What are you staring at me for, don't you want to ask me about the 300,000 yuan that Zhiyuan Group gave you?" ”

Xiao Xun shuddered, he suddenly felt that Feng Xiaoling seemed to have some advanced snooping equipment installed in his heart, why was his thoughts so real. He admired and rejoiced even more, admired Feng Xiaoling's shrewdness, and was glad that there was a woman in the world who understood him so well.

In fact, men's requirements for women are not high, first, physiological needs. The second is the inner sense of belonging and the outer face, and the third is understanding and understanding.
