Excellent little farmer

I flipped through a few pages, and an old photo suddenly appeared in front of me. The photo was a bit torn, and there was a hole burned by a cigarette butt in the lower right corner.

I was slightly startled, picked up the yellowed photo, and looked at it with a frown. I saw the boy riding on horseback in the photo, waving a wooden stick. His appearance was somewhat familiar, and I felt like I had seen him before. I looked at it carefully for a long time. , suddenly realized that this should be a photo of Xu Hailong when he was a child.

I took the photo and looked at it for a long time. I was a little bit amused. I put the photo next to me and flipped through the book. Soon, I found more than a dozen photos in it. These photos all have one thing in common. Each of them has a common feature. There are Xu Hailong's figures in them, from a naughty boy to a heroic and capable deputy captain of the criminal police team. These photos almost record Xu Hailong's entire growth process.

"This is the real reminiscing about lost time!"

My mood became extremely heavy. I picked up the photo and looked at it again and again. Finally, I gently put down a family photo of a family of three, lit a cigarette, frowned and took a few puffs, then got up and walked to the window to look out. Looking into the distance.

Such a book was too heavy, like a big mountain, weighing on my heart, so that I couldn't read it at all, and I was not even in the mood to eat. I just frowned and paced back and forth in the room, feeling emotional. Extremely low.

For a whole afternoon, I locked myself in the office, holding a cigarette in my hand, looking at these photos one by one, and my mood became extremely complicated. Naturally, I knew that Wan Yunhan’s purpose of doing this was also for my future. I feel vaguely uneasy about what I have done these days.

It was like a heavy downpour falling from the sky, extinguishing the fire that had just been lit in my heart. My appearance at the moment was not much better than that of Fei Qinping next to me. Both of them were listless and absent-minded. At this time, I looked at Fei Qinping. Ping, there is a sense of sympathy for each other. Although the nature is not the same, the feelings at this moment are not much different.

In fact, the pressure on my heart was even greater. In just two hours, I smoked a pack of cigarettes, and the room was filled with a choking smell. Fei Qinping was too embarrassed to open the window, so she had to go to the side with the documents. As soon as she avoided me in this general office, her mood improved a lot. At least she no longer felt awkward when our eyes met.

After get off work, when everyone had left and there were no more footsteps in the corridor, I sighed, put the photos back in the book, packed up my things, and went to the Investment Promotion Office. I took out the key and opened the door. He opened the door, walked to Wan Yunhan's desk, opened the bottom drawer, and gently put the book in.

Sitting behind the desk, I picked up the signature pen and wanted to leave a note. But after thinking about it, I always felt that it was better not to pierce this layer of window paper. We all knew each other tacitly, and just showed it through actions. Wouldn't it be better? ?

In the following days, I consciously distanced myself from the other party. Even when we discussed work matters, we always acted in a business-like manner. We were too serious, which put Wan Yunhan under psychological pressure.

This kind of atmosphere seems to be contagious. For a week, almost everyone in the development zone management committee from top to bottom had a straight face, looking bitter and resentful, without a trace of smile.

In this atmosphere, news came out that director Meng Xiaolin was about to be transferred. It was said that the superiors were interested in letting him serve as director of the Veteran Cadre Management Bureau. However, the candidate for the new director had not yet been determined, so several deputy directors were interested. They began to move up and down, using various means to compete for the position of director of the management committee. For a while, it felt like a storm was about to come.

I did not get involved in this whirlpool, because Shang Tingsong had already made peace with me. The candidate for the new director was most likely the Deputy Director Liu mentioned by Wan Yunhan. Among the several deputy directors of the Development Zone Management Committee , she is the only female cadre.

Deputy Director Liu used to work in a government office, and it has only been more than two years since he was transferred to the Development Zone Management Committee. Although he rarely leaves the office, he is well behaved and easy-going, and he and Wan Yunhan can also talk to each other. Later, because of their gender, the two got closer, could often talk about each other, and maintained a good personal friendship.

Although there is no discussion at the meeting, Li Weiguo has already nodded in agreement due to Shang Tingsong's efforts. Since the secretary of the municipal party committee has opened the door, as long as there is no accident, there will be no change in the matter. No matter how others act, , are all in vain and will not affect the results at all.

Of course, personnel adjustment matters have always been kept strictly confidential. Including Deputy Director Liu himself, very few people in the Development Zone Management Committee know about this matter. I am the only one who knows the next personnel arrangements. .

From the time I started working until now, even though it hasn't been long, I have accumulated a lot of secrets, but I can't tell them. It's not a good feeling.

But if you want to go far in the officialdom, you must learn to keep secrets. People who talk too much will not be trusted after all. I have no doubt about this.

Shang Tingsong's current situation has greatly improved, and he is even better than other deputy mayors in terms of momentum. This is not only because the old leader has done some work to help him stabilize the table, but more importantly, he has There is a calligraphy work hanging in the office. The artistic value of the work itself is open to question, but the signature signed by Zhou Mingfeng, deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, is extremely precious and worth thousands of gold.

Since the calligraphy works were hung up, he not only suppressed several competitors who were secretly casting cold arrows, but even the two main leaders of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee also looked at him with admiration. He was able to obtain the calligraphy works of the third leader of the Provincial Party Committee. Among them The hidden meaning is naturally self-evident. Everyone is a sophisticated figure in the officialdom. How could they not guess it?

These days, Shang Tingsong's name often appears on TV news and important pages of newspapers in Qingyang City. Compared with before, the exposure rate has nearly doubled, and the exposure rate in the news media has always been an official's official career. A barometer of turning points, therefore, in a short period of time, many people in Qingyang official circles received accurate signals that Shang Tingsong was about to gain power!

At this time, Mr. Chu came back for inspection with several veteran cadres who had worked in Qingyang.

Although the old man has retired, he still has a very high reputation in Qingyang City. Among the municipal committee members, there are two or three who were strongly recommended by him. Among the several mayors in recent years, he is the only one who can work closely with him. He was the one who challenged Secretary Li of the Municipal Party Committee.

What's more, although Mr. Chu has retired, his son-in-law is very ambitious and has become the director of the second cadre division of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, including a group of deputy division-level cadres in Qingyang City. If he wants to move to the next level, he is indispensable. You need to have a good relationship with others.

Otherwise, if something unexpected happens during the cadre inspection, it will not be pleasant. People may not be able to help you, but it will be much easier to tear things down. Just write down a few ambiguous comments with a swipe of a pen. You've had a drink.

Several leaders in the city attached great importance to Mr. Chu's trip to Qingyang and arranged a series of activities to entertain the old leader.

I also received a call, and a group of people from the government office, accompanied by Mayor Xu Youbing, Executive Vice Mayor Yang Huaiping, Vice Mayor Shang Tingsong, Peng Kequan and other leaders, went to the highway intersection to greet them. Several leaders stood beside the car and smoked cigarettes. While chatting, ten minutes later, a minibus drove over.

"Here it comes, here it comes!" Everyone hurriedly put down their cigarettes and stepped forward to greet them. The car stopped. Mr. Chu and several veteran cadres walked out one after another. Seeing the mayor Xu Youbing coming to greet him in person, the veteran cadres all felt very proud. , they walked a few steps quickly, shook hands with everyone who greeted them, and greeted them warmly.

Mr. Chu looks very good, full of energy, has a rosy face, and piercing eyes. He is wearing a Chinese tunic suit and holding a black walking stick in his hand. Although he is very polite, he has a majestic aura that makes no one dare to Looking down, he and a few others just chatted casually for a few words, and then got directly into Mayor Xu Youbing's car. Everyone got in the car and headed to the city hall.

When we arrived at the conference room on the third floor, fruit drinks were already placed next to the oval desk, and ashtrays were placed in every position.

After everyone sat down, Mayor Xu Youbing took the lead in speaking. Several leaders made reports respectively, introducing the current development of Qingyang to the veteran cadres. Reporters from Qingyang City TV Station also rushed over, squatting a few meters away with cameras. Focus the camera on the leader at the conference table, leaving your back and buttocks to the escorts.

I felt that the room was very stuffy and a little breathless. Everyone's speeches were all the same speeches with nothing new. So I took a chance, quietly left the conference room, stood by the window in the corridor, and took out a He smoked a cigarette with a frown.
