This was Cao Rui's first time visiting the Orange Garden Hotel's senior suite. It was actually an independent courtyard, specially designed to receive important leaders.

The house is relatively old, but the walls are made of blue bricks half a meter thick. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. The sofas are soft and comfortable, and the tea sets are exquisite. It is said that the tea sets are purchased by special cars from Jingdezhen and Yixing.

Xie Erping is a bit of a petty bourgeoisie. Not only does he bring his own tea when he travels on business, but he also likes incense. He also takes a few books with him. When he lights the incense, the fragrance of tea lingers and the room becomes very artistic.

After drinking two cups of tea, Xie Erping said:

"Cao Rui, I know your abilities! I also know some of your difficulties. Are you preparing to show off your skills in the literary world, or do you want to continue to progress in the political arena? Do you have any plans?"

When Cao Rui heard Xie Erping's words, they were not simple. They seemed casual, but there was a lot of content behind them. He said:

"Minister, you are the leader. Let me tell you my real thoughts. I still want to do something while I am young! Although I have suffered a little setback in my career, I have not been discouraged and my energy has not been lost! I have always wanted to wait and see. move!"

"Haha!" Xie Erping laughed loudly and said:

"Cao Rui, yes, you are honest and truthful, I like you very much! This time, I came here to investigate and inspect your Yongping County to understand your Yongping's culture, tourism and overall social development!

In addition, I have some important news to tell you. This opportunity is very crucial. I hope you can find a way to seize it! "

Xie Erping lowered his voice: "It has been several months since Secretary Su of the Municipal Party Committee took office, but his secretary has not yet been appointed! Now the Municipal Party Committee Office has tried its best to find someone who Satisfies Secretary Su!

Secretary Su has been working in the Provincial Party Committee for a long time, and he always works beside important leaders. He has high writing skills and a broad vision. Can he be satisfied with ordinary young people?

You, Cao Rui, are talented. If you can seize this opportunity, you won’t have to be bound by Yong Ping. You will be a hit and soar into the sky..."

"Uh..." Cao Rui was stunned, thinking that he, a department-level cadre in the county, had a chance to become the secretary of the municipal party committee secretary? How can this be?

However, Cao Rui's expression did not change at all, and he still listened carefully.

Xie Erping continued:

"Young people must dare to think when doing things. Only by daring can dreams come true. I have revealed this to you. I hope you will take it seriously. Because I work in the Propaganda Department and I can't reach the Municipal Party Committee Office, but the information I I can tell you..."

Cao Rui said: "Thank you, Minister. You may think highly of me. Although I can write something, I only have a small market in a small county like Yongping. If I really want to go out, there will be a big gap compared with others..."

Xie Erping patted Cao Rui on the shoulder:

"It all depends on people! Anyway, I am providing you with this information. It is up to you to seize the opportunity!"

Yes, Xie Erping stopped at that point, and then quickly dropped the subject. He and Cao Rui talked about literature, tourism, publicity, and media. At around ten o'clock, Wan Peng called and said that he had arranged a late-night barbecue. Then Wan Peng arranged for Jinzun Nightclub and invited Minister Xie to sing and sing.

Cao Rui was not interested in the singing and dancing of the birds and the flashing neon lights. He wanted Xie Erping to talk to him alone. The core purpose was to provide Cao Rui with information about Secretary Su Bo's lack of a secretary?

It seems to be such a thing, but what is the significance of this thing? Does Xie Erping really think Cao Rui has a chance to become Su Bo's secretary?

No matter how much he thought about it, Cao Rui felt that this opportunity was too slim. Wude City had a population of six to seven million. Is the secretary of the municipal party committee secretary an ordinary position? There are many smart and talented people in the municipal party committee, but Secretary Su has not picked any of them. Why should Su Bo look at Cao Rui so highly as a cadre in the county under Cao Rui?

But as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda, Xie Erping would provide Cao Rui with such irrelevant information in his spare time?

Cao Rui thought about it and felt that this might be a question asked by Xie Erping. He should have meant to test Cao Rui.

Cao Rui thought again, Su Bo didn't have a secretary, and the one who was anxious must be the Municipal Party Committee Office. Xie Erping asked about this, is it a dog trying to catch a mouse? As a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, would he do such a boring thing?

Cao Rui lit a cigarette for himself and suddenly thought of a very philosophical saying: "Others are not looking for you because of your purpose, but because of their purpose..."

Did Xie Erping come to Cao Rui to push Cao Rui to the position of secretary of the municipal party committee secretary? The friendship between the two is not that deep, it must be because of Xie Erping's purpose.

What is Xie Erping's purpose?

When Cao Rui thought of this, his thinking suddenly became enlightened. Xie Erping wanted to find an opportunity to get closer to Su Bo. Su Bo's appointment with his secretary was an opportunity. This was the test question Xie Erping gave Cao Rui.

Cao Rui wants to find a way to promote this matter. Even if he does not become Su Bo's secretary, if he can get Xie Erping and Su Bo to get closer, Cao Rui will probably get a seat in the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee.

Thinking of this, Cao Rui's thoughts became more alive. He was speechless all night. Early the next morning, Cao Rui called Wang Fei.

Because of Liu Xiaojing's incident, Wang Fei and his wife were a little frightened, but afterwards Wang Fei took the initiative to call Cao Rui and said that the matter was resolved satisfactorily. It was probably someone from the banker who had contacted Ma Xiuying. Anyway, Wang Fei's attitude was quite good.

Cao Rui came to Wang Fei and asked Wang Fei if he could have a meal with Sun Pingan, hoping to arrange some local honey for the secretary-general.

Wang Fei said:

"Cao Rui, this is not a big deal! If you are like this, it is better to choose a day than to hit it. Tomorrow you come to the city, and we will go to see the secretary-general together. Honey and local specialties are small things. The key is to play cards with the secretary-general... …”

Cao Rui got a headache when he heard about the card game. Wang Fei lost tens of thousands in a card game with Sun Ping'an before, and that was the game Cao Rui set up at the time.

Later, Cao Rui took the initiative to distance himself from Sun Pingan, and Ling Feng went to the provincial capital. It was no longer easy for Cao Rui to find Sun Pingan anymore, and now he needed to ask Wang Fei for help.

Wang Fei agreed readily, and Cao Rui prepared things overnight, mainly local specialties. He had relatively little money to prepare. Then he had some insomnia at night, so he thought about the people and things in the city.

He thought of two points. The first point was that Gao Shengkeling had met Secretary Su Bo, and Secretary Su Bo should have an impression of him.

Second point, how many years has Sun Ping'an been the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee? So many cadres have moved, but Sun Pingan has not moved. What is the reason? How many more years can he do this?

Thinking of two points, Cao Rui felt a little excited. He seemed to have found the long-lost passion. After being dormant for more than a year, Cao Rui thought it was time for him to come out!
