Throat is dry and hangover is hazy.

Lu Jiang turned over, felt that he had touched something soft and moist, and opened his eyes suddenly.

Beside him, lay a woman of excellent appearance.

The twin peaks stand proudly, with a slender waist, a pair of straight and slender legs, and shallow eyelashes that are very charming in the dim light.

Lu Jiang got out of bed in a panic, as the secretary of the county party secretary, he was extremely sensitive to this kind of thing, and the slightest carelessness would be a catastrophe.

After looking around, Lu Jiang stabilized his mind a little.

This...... It's your own home.

He was relieved to see that the woman's clothes were intact.

Rubbing his temples, Lu Jiang recalled what happened last night.

At about two o'clock in the morning, he returned to the rental room and saw a woman lying in the hallway, covered in alcohol, and called the other party for a long time without responding.

Lu Jiang wanted to take out the key from the woman's bag and send the person back, but he couldn't find it after looking for a long time, and he couldn't get through to the property.

Thinking that it would be dawn in a few hours, he took the woman back to his house to deal with it for the night.

After sending the woman back to the bedroom, he lay down on the couch.

And he will appear in bed, thinking that he should have gone into the toilet in a daze after going to the toilet later.

After clearing his thoughts, Lu Jiang tiptoed out of the room.

As soon as he arrived in the living room, he heard the sound of his mobile phone vibrating, and after some searching, he found it in the gap of the sofa.

After seeing the caller ID, Lu Jiang frowned.

The call was made by Qi Ming from the secretary group of the county party committee office, and it seems that there are more than a dozen telephone records.

Something went wrong......

This was Lu Jiang's first reaction.

After connecting the phone, Qi Ming's eager voice came from the other end.

"Lu Jiang, it's not good, something is wrong, Wang Lin, secretary of the county party committee, has a heart attack and is being rescued in the hospital!"

Lu Jiang's head buzzed, which was like a bolt from the blue to him.

He didn't have time to think about it, and after asking which hospital it was, he put on his clothes and hurried out.

After arriving at the hospital, Lu Jiang found that many county government cars had been parked at the door, and basically more than half of the leaders of Linyuan County came.

In the lobby of the hospital, Lu Jiang met his ex-wife Zhang Ling, both of whom came in from the outside, and just happened to take a photo.

After seeing Lu Jiang, Zhang Ling's face was obviously gloomy, and her eyes were a little disdainful.

Zhang Ling is the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, so it stands to reason that she should not use it on this occasion, but her current husband is the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the county party committee, and he should accompany the other party.

The original marriage was unhappy, and for Zhang Ling, Lu Jiang generally avoided it.

Just as he was about to speed up his pace and leave, Zhang Ling spoke.

"If Secretary Wang has an accident, have you ever thought about how to go in the future?"

Lu Jiang stood still, frowning and looking at Zhang Ling.

"Did you get any news?"

Zhang Ling smiled coldly, changed his words, and said: "Tsk, Secretary Wang focuses on environmental protection, but he has offended many people, no one can do anything to you when he is in power, but if you ......"

"If you really get to that point, you can make friends with a few Standing Committee members, although you may not have the current county party committee secretary, but at least you can keep your job."

"Sometimes you really need to change your temper and learn to cater to it."

After speaking, Zhang Ling left a meaningful smile and then went upstairs.

Lu Jiang looked at the back of leaving, and his brows tightened.

From the moment he received the call, he actually thought of various possibilities, and following Wang Lin over the years has indeed touched the interests of many people.

If Wang Lin has an accident, then his future is also worrying.

On the second floor, there were already many people standing at the door of the emergency room, and after seeing Lu Jiang, many people greeted each other with a respectful attitude.

But Lu Jiang knows that such a false politeness is only because of his identity.

If you don't have this position one day, I'm afraid these people won't look at themselves squarely.

Suddenly, he suffered from gains and losses, and a trace of unprecedented panic rose in his heart.

Walking through the crowd, Lu Jiang stared at the lights in the operating room.

If the old leader can be rescued, then he is fine, and if he dies, waiting for himself will definitely not end well.

At this moment, he seemed to be waiting for fate to pronounce his sentence, nervous and powerless.

"Ding......

The waiting room went out, and a doctor in a white lab coat walked out.

Lu Jiang clenched his hands that were already covered with sweat, and his heart rose to his throat.

"I'm sorry, we did our best!"

In a word, it not only pronounced the fate of the old leader, but also shattered the only remaining illusion in Lu Jiang's heart.

There were sighs in the crowd, some really sad and some gloating.

Lu Jiang leaned against the wall, feeling that his legs had lost their support, and in addition to the memory of the deceased, he also had worries about the future.

He can get to this point today because of the appreciation of the old leader, otherwise he is still a small clerk in the secretarial group.

Pity......

I don't know how long it has been, but after Lu Jiang eased up, he found that there were very few people left in the corridor.

Without exception, these people have been more or less favored by the old leaders.

After several people looked at each other, they all smiled astringently, as if they had a feeling of sympathy.

Of course, sadness is sadness, and the top priority now is to start handling the aftermath of the old leaders.

Lu Jiang took the lead, was busy with some trivial matters, and did his best to send the old leader on his last journey in his own way.

After everything was dealt with, it was already evening, and Lu Jiang had to go back and rest for a while.

After arriving home, Lu Jiang found that the woman in the family had left, leaving a note.

"Kind neighbor, thank you for the opportunity to treat you to dinner!"

There is also a smiling emoji on the back, as well as a phone number.

Lu Jiang found that the entire house had been cleaned, and even the sheets had been removed and cleaned.

For a while, he was in a trance, as if he had returned to the time when he had a wife.

After taking a casual shower, Lu Jiang went back to sleep.

In the next few days, Lu Jiang was busy with the memorial service of the old leader, and came back a few times halfway, but he never saw the drunk girl again.

When Lu Jiang returned to the county party committee office again, he found that there was not much change, but he knew that behind this calm, there must be a huge personnel change.

At noon, Qi Ming came back from outside, and when he saw Lu Jiang, he took him to a remote corner.

Qi Ming handed Lu Jiang a cigarette, lit one himself, and took a deep breath before speaking.

"You have also heard, the position of secretary of the county party committee is vacant, and the above will be promoted on the spot, and Lao Yue's promotion is basically a sure thing."

"Lao Yue has always been neutral and very tactful, and it is understandable that he will be the secretary of the county party committee."

"However, after Lao Yue left, the position of the second-in-command was vacant, it is said that the two deputy counties are staring at it, and there are even a few standing committee members, all of whom have already begun to move, but I think the most opportunity is the deputy county Du Ze."

"We are all following the old leaders, and now it's time to think about ourselves, I have discussed with them, I want to organize a dinner in the evening, and the county magistrate will have a meal, which can be regarded as a gesture."

Lu Jiang glanced at Qi Ming, his face was not too surprised, the trees fell and scattered, this is normal.

Now the overall situation is undecided, and they are all looking for backers, not wanting to fall victim to this storm.

"Did he agree?"

Lu Jiang asked, feeling a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, it was this Du Ze who dared to directly argue with the old leader in the entire county party committee office at that time.

As the secretary of the old leader, Lu Jiang clashed with Du Ze a lot.

Even if he wants to choose to surrender, will he accept it?
