Cao Rui finally got a chance to meet Deputy Secretary Ling Feng, but seeing that the opportunity was so bad, how could he be willing to do so?

Cao Rui was quick-witted. Just when he was about to fail, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind and he said immediately:

"Secretary Ling, Secretary Tong and I are here today. Can I ask you for a calligraphy set?"

amount……

The scene suddenly became quiet. Cao Rui was the deputy following Tong Yun, and he had no role to speak at all on this occasion.

Before leaving, he actually made such a request directly to Secretary Ling Feng? Even Tong Yun wouldn't dare to ask for this!

Tong Yun's face changed, and Ling Feng was also surprised. He looked at Cao Rui seriously with a very strange expression.

Tong Yundao:

"Cao Rui, what are you talking about? Are you still making requests to the secretary?"

Cao Rui said calmly:

"Secretary Ling, it's like this! Although Yongping County is not a big city, there are quite a few people in the literary and art circle who are engaged in calligraphy and painting!

The calligraphy exhibition we want to hold now could have been held last year! But Chairman Zhang Sizhang is an ‘upright’ person…”

Cao Rui immediately told the story of Zhang Si. It was probably that Zhang Si and a leader were drinking at the same table. The two sides discussed the matter of holding a calligraphy exhibition. The leader of the other party said that there was no problem with financial support, but Zhang Si had to let his works enter the exhibition. exhibition.

As soon as Zhang Si heard this, he immediately said to the leader, I really want the money, but I don’t want this money! If he wants this money, he, the chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, will be sprayed into a sieve later.

The leader couldn't stand down immediately and was so angry that he walked away without even finishing his drink.

When Ling Feng heard what Cao Rui said, he burst out laughing:

"Is there still such a thing? Why can't this Zhang Si learn a little tact? Did the strong wind bring him to his full-time job?"

Secretary Ling Feng smiled like this, and the atmosphere in the room changed. There was no longer the tension and oppression before, and the air seemed to circulate a lot.

Secretary Ling stood up and said:

"If you come to me to ask for a word, it's fake. The key is to see if my level is real. Is that what you mean?"

Tong Yun said hurriedly:

"No, secretary! This little Cao is too young and speaks confusingly..."

"Tong Yun, it has nothing to do with you. You don't have to mess with it! Why don't you just write a word? I have all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone here!"

There was also a small room in Ling Feng's office. At that time, leadership offices were generally relatively large. Ling Feng had a hobby of calligraphy, so of course the people below would take care of it.

When he turned to the small room, the fragrance of ink assaulted his nostrils. The ink inside the Lingfeng inkstone was still full. He grabbed a pen from the pen holder and said to Cao Rui:

"What do you want me to write?"

Cao Rui said:

"Secretary, can you just write a four-character note? Just the four words 'contribution does not come in vain'?"

Ling Feng was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Cao Rui. This look was meaningful.

Tong Yun on the side was in the dark and didn't know what "contribute without giving away" meant. He didn't see it clearly until Ling Feng wrote these four words on the paper with a splash of ink.

Then naturally say "ok"! "good"!

Cao Rui also thought it was good. He was particular about asking Ling Feng to write these four characters, because the four characters "日 gong yi pawn" hanging behind Ling Feng's desk came from the "Lotus Sutra", and the original words were "日 Gong Yi Peng" There is no end to the success of one stroke, and the merits will eventually end up in the sea.'

When dealing with leaders, Cao Rui can't stand out, but he can show off the ink in his belly very cleverly, which is why Ling Feng turned to look at him.

Tong Yun stood aside and didn't know why. This was just when the book was used.

Ling Feng signed and stamped his name, then turned to look at Cao Rui: "What's your name?"

Cao Rui hurriedly introduced himself, and Ling Feng asked again:

“My handwriting is just scribbling, I don’t know if it can be counted as calligraphy!”

Cao Rui said:

"Secretary Ling, your skills in these four words are so profound! It has the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, clumsy and unrestrained, and gives people a sense of freedom! In terms of lines, there are also many changes. I am afraid that few people in Yongping County can have this kind of style. Skill!"

Ling Feng laughed again:

"There is a saying about calligraphy that a thousand people have, but I just doodling casually as a way to relieve stress and have fun, and I cannot be considered elegant!"

Ling Feng said modestly, but it could be seen that he was relatively happy.

The leader is deep-seated and can express his emotions and anger, but the fact that Ling Feng, who is usually stern and unsmiling, is able to speak speaks volumes.

After Cao Rui put away Ling Feng's calligraphy, Secretary Ling said again:

"The calligraphy exhibition is a good thing! But the timing needs to be considered. Let's discuss it again!"

In the early hours of the morning, Tong Yun and Cao Rui had no choice but to retreat.

After coming out, Tong Yun patted Cao Rui on the shoulder:

"Xiao Cao, you performed well. You don't have stage fright in front of the secretary!"

Cao Rui said: "As long as you support me, I won't be afraid to see Secretary Zhang!"

Tong Yun smiled and said: "It takes a process for things to change from quantitative to qualitative. We must be patient and not impatient!"

Tong Yun put on an instructive look, but Cao Rui just sneered in his heart.

Tong Yun wasn't that concerned about the calligraphy exhibition. He just used this opportunity to hook up with Ling Feng.

Today, his performance was all focused on how to flatter the leader, and his introduction and ideas about the calligraphy exhibition were completely vague.

Therefore, Tong Yun is unreliable. If Cao Rui wants to succeed, he must work harder on his own.

It is really difficult to accomplish something within the system without resources and power, but what choice does Cao Rui have now?

After parting ways with Tong Yun, Cao Rui did not leave the county committee. The second floor of the county committee's office standing committee building is where the propaganda minister's office is located.

Cao Rui glanced and saw that the minister's door seemed to be open. He walked closer and took a look inside. By coincidence, he happened to see the person inside.

A woman with short, ear-length hair, bright eyes, and a capable temperament. The two looked at each other, and Cao Rui subconsciously wanted to avoid her eyes.

"Hey, what are you doing sneaking around outside? Report anything directly!" the woman said.

Her voice was very clear and resonant, but it carried a strong sense of majesty, which made her not an easy master to deal with.

Gao Yi, member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda, was the person Cao Rui had just offended.

Not only did Cao Rui offend her, but Chen Li was also called over and scolded by her. Cao Rui actually ran into Gao Yi like this?

This meeting was really hasty, Cao Rui was not prepared at all, but in this situation he had no room to retreat, so he had to push the door open and go in.

Gao Yi stared at Cao Rui with bright eyes, a pair of phoenix eyes full of majesty:

"Which unit are you from? What do you want to report?"
