Official Ladder [Grassroots Civil Servants]

When they met, Bai Shifan said hello and got into the car with a forced smile.

Wang Hongtao didn't bother, and drove the car silently.

After getting on the highway, Bai Shifan said, "Secretary Wang, let's play some music. I like to listen to all your songs."

After turning on the music, Wang Hongtao asked, "Mayor Bai, is it not going well?"

Bai Shifan lowered his head and was silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "Is it true that you men can abandon everything for the sake of career?"

Wang Hongtao smiled lightly and said, "I don't know about others. If I have to choose between two, I will choose the one I love without any hesitation."

Bai Shifan asked again: "The career is not important?"

"Important. People in the world say that you can't have both. It's pure nonsense. Most people have both love and career. As long as two people have a good relationship, they will definitely support each other. Besides, how do you look at career? There is a low, it is impossible for everyone to climb to the top, and I think it is stupid to give up the one you love for that illusory goal."

Bai Shifan smiled bleakly and said, "Secretary Wang, do you have a good relationship with your lover?"

Wang Hongtao nodded and said: "Maybe in the eyes of others, she has such and other shortcomings, but in my eyes, she is perfect. From the first time I saw her, I knew that this life was for her, I wish to have someone who will never be separated from each other. I believe that no matter whether I am old, sick or dead, poor or rich, she will never leave. Not to mention career, I can give up my life."

Bai Shifan was moved, shed tears silently, wiped them quickly and said, "Secretary Wang, I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

"It's okay, County Magistrate Bai, why don't you call me Xiao Wang or Hong Tao! It's awkward to always be called Secretary Wang."

"Okay, then I'll call you Hong Tao, and you don't want to call me County Magistrate Bai. I'm not a county magistrate. I'll be a section chief after I get back from my job."

"Then I can't call you by your name, can I? How about I call you the county magistrate when there is someone, and Shifan when there is no one?"

"It's up to you, it's just a title, there's no need to pay too much attention to it."

After a while, Bai Shifan said again: "Actually, I want to stay here this time, but unfortunately I'm not that attractive. I went to the United States to study for the career he said, and I don't plan to come back in the future. We are college classmates, ten years My feelings are not worth that illusory career."

"Shifan, I guarantee that he will regret it. The moon is the hometown, and no place is as good as the motherland. Although we have such and such problems now, we are united as one, and we will surpass day and night like a thousand-mile horse. I believe it will not be long. Our country will stand on top of the world, and by that time the world's business will be in the country, and your he is looking for the near and the far, putting the cart before the horse, and even abandoning you, a beautiful woman, and will come back crying for you sooner or later. Don't be sad, because it's not worth it, it's not worth it."

After listening to Wang Hongtao's words, Bai Shifan's mood also improved: "Hongtao, everyone said that you have a quick mind and a good tongue. Today I have learned a lesson. But thank you! I feel better."

Just then there will be a singing voice: There is a kind of love called letting go, giving up for love forever, if we stay together, let you give everything, there is a kind of love called letting go, ending for love forever, if I leave, let you have everything, let true love Take me away and say goodbye...

Seeing Bai Shifan bowed his head again and was heartbroken, he hurriedly changed the song.

She said lightly, "Maybe, it's time to let go!"

Arriving at the Ssangyong service area at noon, the two took a rest for a while.

After getting in the car, Wang Hongtao handed over a bag of snacks and said: "When you are sad, turn your grief and anger into food, and eat something to improve your mood."

Bai Shifan smiled and said, "Hong Tao, thank you, if it weren't for you, I would probably be crying alone right now."

Maybe he was a little hungry, so Bai Shifan called a bag of potato chips and started eating.

The phone rang, it was Feng Dong calling, Wang Hongtao pressed the speakerphone.

"Hong Tao, where are you?"

"Brother Feng, on the way, I went to the provincial government to do something, and I just passed the Shuanglong toll gate."

"It's ok, I've already gone to the provincial government to do business. That's it, Zhao Hu has been promoted to the deputy director of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission. My brothers congratulate you. You can go directly to Yanzhou Hotel when you come back."

"Okay, Brother Feng, if there is no traffic jam, be there on time."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Shifan said: "Hong Tao, put me down when you arrive in Yanzhou, and I will go back by myself."

"Look at what you said, can I still do that kind of unjust thing? Now that the expressway is open, it takes less than an hour to go back and forth, so there is no time wasted."

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

Wang Hongtao always felt that it was awkward to be called Shifan, and he was not used to it.

As he was walking, Bai Shifan suddenly asked, "Tell me, how should a person go about in this life?"

"See the world on the road, recognize yourself on the way, and work hard to manage the present until the future is clear. Shifan, you will meet better people to love you."

"Hehe, you know, a whole ten years just passed by in such a flash."

"Dongyu is gone, Sang Yu is not too late, it is not too late to start now, you are now the best time, Shifan, you are the brightest star in our Saibei, I don't know how many people miss you day and night .”

"I still don't know what you men are thinking? Are you among these people?"

Wang Hongtao smiled awkwardly, and said: "Shifan, everyone likes to appreciate beauty, and I am sure I am no exception. If no one appreciates it, you are not white beauty?"

Bai Shifan was noncommittal and asked, "Then do you have anything to worry about?"

"Nine times out of ten things are not as you like, but it's the same as the speaker. Who doesn't worry about it? Life is out of ten out of ten, so love what you love, do what you do, listen to your heart, and don't ask anything."

"You are so open-minded, do you think you are in your twenties? Hong Tao, can I ask you a private question?"

"Ask! If it's too difficult, I won't answer."

Bai Shifan said seriously: "Besides your wife, have you ever had someone you like?"

"Some people are destined to meet you, but after all, they are passers-by in your life. They can accompany you for a while, but not for the rest of your life. I have found someone who can accompany you for a lifetime, so I have a sense of proportion. I like it. I like it. I love it. It’s love, it’s different. Just like you, I appreciate it too, just look at it from a distance, you don’t have to like it to get it.”

Suddenly, I remembered my favorite song "Anhe Bridge" in my previous life, which has not been released yet. Thinking of the familiar melody, I couldn't help but hum a few words: Let me take another look at you, from south to north, as if you were Blindfolded eyes on the Fifth Ring Road... I know that the bragging is awesome, and I will laugh it off with my youth. I know that in this world, there are too many regrets every day.So hello goodbye!

Wang Hongtao is full of thoughts. In his previous life, youth passed by in a hurry. When he gets old, he can only cherish youth.

Looking back, Bai Shifan was staring out of the window in a daze, with tears on his face.
