Go is the quintessence of China, also known as hand talk.

The two parties playing chess have no words, and each move is communication. Without saying a word, it is a collision of wisdom. In the silence, you can feel the opponent's sense of proportion.

Cao Rui's chess skills are not good. Because he has not put in any effort, he will definitely be at a disadvantage compared to Ling Feng. However, there is a saying in the ten strategies of Go that "the good loser does not mess up." It is obvious that he is weaker than his opponent, but he cannot mess up and work hard. It is not easy to bring out your own level.

Cao Rui calmed down, slowed down his pace, and slowly dealt with Ling Feng. He knew that this kind of opportunity was too rare, because Ling Feng, as the main leading cadre of the county, was very busy with his usual work, so he could calm down. Playing Go really requires an occasion.

For Cao Rui, being able to play chess with Ling Feng at close range is a rare opportunity to show off himself. This is a platform given to him by Gao Shenghai, and he must cherish it.

The chess game has been stalemate. Although Cao Rui is at a disadvantage, he is very tenacious and does not give his opponent a chance to succeed. Ling Feng racks his brains and tries his best to find a way for Cao Rui to survive.

The chess players competed for their wits, and Gao Shenghai, who was watching the game, was also fully immersed in the game. He couldn't help but marvel at the wonderful places he played! After playing a game of chess for more than two hours, Cao Ruiqi still lost. Ling Feng said:

"Oh, it's not easy to win a game of chess, it's really not easy!"

Cao Rui said:

"Secretary Ling, I have actually lost my ability to play chess for a long time. Maybe you made a slight miscalculation during the game and let me bite..."

Gao Shenghai Road:

"You have to use all your strength to fight a lion against a rabbit, Ling Feng, although chess is a trivial matter, it still contains profound truths!"

Ling Feng nodded:

"I came here today to play chess with the old leader for a day. I gained a lot and gained a lot of insights!"

Gao Shenghai Road:

"Gao Yi has a rather irritable personality. You are a senior brother and you have to correct her at critical moments. Being an official and engaging in politics is no better than doing other things. You must not be in a hurry to do things or to achieve things. Compared with achieving things, it is more important to lay a solid foundation and stabilize your position. important!

If you are top-heavy and have a shallow foundation, you will eventually fall. I am especially worried about Gao Yi's fall! "

Ling Feng said:

"Don't worry, old leader, I will keep an eye on her. In fact, there are some strange rumors in the city that Gao Yi and I are brothers and sisters, and we work together..."

Gao Shenghai waved his hand and said:

"Ignore those words! You and Gao Yi can't be of the same mind. She won't obey you, and you won't let her do whatever she wants. You work together, and struggle is the mainstream. Those who gossip either don't know the truth or have ulterior motives. Why bother with them?"

Ling Feng and Gao Shenghai suddenly started talking about work, and it was hard for Cao Rui to interrupt.

He immediately changed his role and engaged in service. After playing chess for so long, there were cigarette butts in the yard, the ground was dirty, and the tea sets needed to be cleaned. Cao Rui started to deal with these things.

How can you sweep the world without cleaning one house? Cao Rui was very familiar with these things, and he did them quickly and well. He cleaned up the yard inside and outside in a short time, even more efficiently than the aunt and nurse in the nursing home.

After tidying up, the conversation between Gao Shenghai and Ling Feng was almost over.

Gao Shenghai said to Cao Rui:

"Xiao Rui, Secretary Ling is your Yong Ping parent officer. I introduced you today because I hope you can make a difference!"

Cao Rui said:

"Thank you, Uncle Gao, Secretary Ling. Thank you for giving me the calligraphy treasure last time. I took this calligraphy treasure with me and Chairman Zhang Si of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles to attend the meeting of the Calligraphers Association. The meeting was a success. The calligraphers of Yongping are very grateful to you. They are all convinced!"

Then Cao Rui talked about calligraphy. Calligraphy is a matter for laymen to watch and experts to watch.

Calligraphy that we ordinary people think is good may not be good in the eyes of experts. Calligraphy that we ordinary people think is average may be a successful masterpiece in the eyes of experts.

But one thing is that a person's calligraphy level can actually be seen clearly in the eyes of an expert at a glance. This is the so-called expert who can tell whether he has it as soon as he reaches out.

Therefore, what Cao Rui said is not completely flattering, but is relatively true and objective.

Of course Ling Feng was very polite, and Gao Shenghai arranged another meal, leaving the two of them to eat. After the meal, Ling Feng's driver came to pick him up, and Cao Rui and Gao Shenghai saw him off together.

After seeing Ling Feng off, Gao Shenghai asked Cao Rui:

"Xiao Rui, do you still want to play another game?"

Cao Rui said:

"I was delayed because of something last week and didn't come over. Come today and I'll have a great time with you!"

Cao Rui did not talk about Ling Feng with Gao Shenghai, nor did he say too many words of thanks. When dealing with elders, one should not put gratitude in words, but in actions and words and deeds. This is sincerity.

Gao Shenghai is a department-level cadre and has been a mayor. How can he recognize people at an average level? So Cao Rui is serious and extremely sincere.

Political matters are never too simple. Today is the first time Cao Rui meets Ling Feng. It is impossible for the two of them to get closer after just one meeting. Because of this, things cannot be rushed.

So Cao Rui let go and played chess with Gao Shenghai. The two of them fought until ten o'clock in the evening.

Gao Shenghai asked Cao Rui if he would like to arrange accommodation at such a late hour. Cao Rui said:

"Uncle Gao, don't worry, I still have friends in the city. We young people will drink a little in the evening and chat, so I won't disturb you! I'll come back tomorrow morning and accompany you back for a long time!"

Gao Shenghai laughed loudly and said:

"Cao Rui, I'm calling you mainly because I want you to get to know Ling Feng, seize the opportunity, and pave the way for your future. You'd better do it. Do you really think I want you to play chess with me?"

Cao Rui said:

"I need to get in touch with Secretary Ling slowly. This is not a matter of one or two days! I am not in a hurry for this weekend, so I think it is better to seize such precious time on the weekend and play chess with you!"

"Haha!" Gao Shenghai smiled even more cheerfully.

Cao Rui is young, frank and sincere. This is what Gao Shenghai thinks of him. There are very few young people like him these days.

I won’t let outsiders talk about it. Gao Shenghai thought of his daughter Gao Yi. How could Gao Yi come to his door when he had nothing to do.

From Cao Rui's point of view, his most important relationship now is Gao Shenghai, so no matter how critical and important Secretary Ling Feng is to him, it is a relationship derived from Gao Shenghai.

He doesn't know Secretary Ling Feng. Whether he can get in touch with Ling Feng is unknown and variable. He can't guarantee that Ling Feng will agree with him. And he has established a strong relationship with Gao Shenghai, so of course he will accompany Gao Shenghai. , it is more important to build a strong relationship. This truth is actually relatively simple, but most people cannot understand it.
