Rebirth in officialdom and rising to the top

The two of them lit their cigarettes and took a few puffs. Then Chen Wangyang asked:

"The senior specifically called me out because he was worried that Mayor Ye might have some opinions about you, right?"

Deng Jiang hid his expression behind the curling smoke and said with a wry smile:

"Junior's eyes are really vicious. I can't hide anything from you! To be honest, since I conveyed Principal Li's words to Mayor Ye, Mayor Ye's attitude towards me has changed slightly!"

Chen Wangyang knew it well:

Your eldest brother is a person who doesn't rub dirt in his eyes. If you don't explain this kind of thing clearly, it would be strange if others have no objection to you!

At that moment, Chen Wangyang smiled slightly and said deliberately:

"Is there a possibility that you, senior, are overthinking it? After all, Mayor Ye just hinted that you will be the next secretary of the Shan'an County Party Committee!"

Deng Jiang smiled bitterly and said:

"But Mayor Ye's subsequent beating, junior fellow student, you also heard it with your own ears. After all, a hint is still a hint. Until the end, who can guarantee that this county party secretary will fall on my head?"

Chen Wangyang still kept smiling:

"Senior, you are a smart man and have more experience than me. Don't you want to know why Mayor Ye did this in public?"

Deng Jiang's bitter smile became even stronger:

"Kill the chicken to warn the monkey?"

Chen Wangyang couldn't help laughing:

"Haha, senior, you underestimate our Mayor Ye's mind too much. I know him better than you do. He is giving you a chance!"

Deng Jiang's eyes widened:

"Chance? What chance?"

Chen Wangyang looked into Deng Jiang's eyes and said seriously:

"Give you a chance to completely board the Ye family's chariot!"

Deng Jiang's hand that was flicking the cigarette ashes shivered involuntarily:

"Junior, what do you mean..."

Chen Wangyang crushed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray:

"Senior, throughout the ages, swaying fence-sitters like Principal Li have never had any good results in the end. Don't mention Xu Shu to me. Who in higher positions dares to really reuse someone who is in the Cao camp and whose heart is Han?"

Speaking of this, Chen Wangyang increased his tone:

"Mayor Ye's meaning is very clear. Senior, you can either follow him in a down-to-earth manner, or you can hug the thigh of your uncle-in-law, secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee! People in the officialdom can seem to have both sides. You don’t belong to anyone, but secretly you must know who you belong to!”

Deng Jiang took a breath, patted his thigh and said:

"Yes, such a simple truth, why didn't I understand it?"

As he spoke, Deng Jiang stretched out his hand and held it tightly with Chen Wangyang, saying with great gratitude:

"Junior, thank you this time. If you hadn't woken up the dreamer with your words, I would still be confused! Thank you, I will go to Mayor Ye tomorrow to report my work and thoughts!"

Chen Wangyang said without taking any credit:

"Senior, you are just a fan of the authorities, I am just a bystander! But this kind of thing happens sooner rather than later, don't wait for tomorrow, do it now!"

Deng Jiang was stunned for a moment and said:

"Tonight? Mayor Ye is having a great time drinking today. I'd better not spoil his fun, right?"

Chen Wangyang touched his nose:

"Based on what I know about Mayor Ye, he should be almost at the door..."

Before Chen Wangyang finished speaking, the waiter's loud and clear voice sounded from the door of the rooftop coffee shop:

“Welcome to the Sky Garden Cafe!”

Deng Jiang's eyes widened in surprise and he looked at the door, and then he saw Ye Siqi walking towards them with a smile!

Let me go, these two brothers didn't discuss it in advance, right?

Chen Wangyang saw Deng Jiang's thoughts at a glance:

"I didn't discuss it with Mayor Ye, he came here on his own!"

Deng Jiang was not in the mood to care about this at this time, so he quickly stood up and faced Ye Siqi:

"Mayor Ye, you are here!"

Chen Wangyang also came forward to greet him:

"You two take your time and chat, I'll go back and say hello!"

With that said, Chen Wangyang winked at Ye Siqi and then left the rooftop cafe.

Looking at Chen Wangyang's back as he left, Ye Siqi suddenly smiled slightly and said:

"Secretary Deng, is my second brother very knowledgeable?"

Deng Jiang said with some anxiety:

"What Mayor Ye said is that the juniors are indeed outstanding. As a senior, I feel ashamed!"

Ye Siqi was noncommittal, with an elusive light flashing in his eyes:

"Since my second brother asked us to chat slowly, he will leave first. I guess you have already figured it out?"

If Deng Jiang doesn't know what to say by now, he doesn't have to hang around in official circles anymore!

Fortunately, we are not in ancient times, otherwise he would probably be able to come and bow to you:

"I understand! Mayor Ye, it was Deng Jiang who was confused before and failed to live up to your cultivation and promotion, but you can rest assured that from now on, I, Deng Jiang, will be your pawn. If you ask me to go east, I will never Not to the west!”

Ye Siqi heard this and said calmly:

"What if your uncle-in-law wants you to go west?"

Deng Jiang gritted his teeth and said viciously:

"Then I will sever ties with him!"

Ye Siqi finally laughed heartily, patted Deng Jiang on the shoulder and said:

"That's not so heartless, as long as you, Deng Jiang, understand in your heart who is your real master!"

Deng Jiang nodded quickly and said:

"Mayor Ye, I know it will always be you!"

Ye Siqi suddenly shook his head seriously:

"Wrong! Deng Jiang, do you know the biggest gap between you and Chen Wangyang?"

Deng Jiang was stunned for a moment and said with some confusion:

“I don’t know, please let Mayor Ye clarify!”

A soft smile appeared at the corner of Ye Siqi's mouth, and his eyes were full of recognition:

"The biggest difference between you and him is that he has always firmly known that his masters are only the people!"

Ye Siqi's words exploded in Deng Jiang's mind like an atomic bomb!

Yes, aren’t we Communist Party members the public servants of the people?

Who else can you have as your master besides the people?

When did I start to gradually forget this original intention?

Thinking of this, Deng Jiang blushed with shame, his mouth was dry, and he was ashamed and said to Ye Siqi:

"Mayor Ye, I..."

Ye Siqi knew that he had finally woken up Deng Jiang, so he waved his hands happily and said:

"Needless to say, I believe you can figure it out, otherwise I wouldn't have left the heavy responsibility of Shan'an County in your hands!"

Hearing Ye Siqi finally say these words himself, Deng Jiang was so excited that his nose sore, and it took him a long while to squeeze out a sentence:

"Mayor Ye, don't worry, as long as I, Deng Jiang, am here in Shan'an, the life of the people of Shan'an will only get better and better, not worse! If I, Deng Jiang, can't do it, you can do it at any time. Take me, the county party secretary, back!"

Ye Siqi smiled:

"Don't be just joking on a whim, I can really do such a thing~"
