Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Fighting openly and secretly
After the vase incident was properly handled, Zhu Tianyun went to Beijing for the EIA report.Someone stuck his neck, so he couldn't remain unresponsive.This world is so absurd, while you insist on sticking to the principle, you are violating the principle at the same time.People who oppose hidden rules and dark rules are often the makers or implementers of hidden rules and dark rules.However, Zhu Tianyun didn't tell the head of the Security Bureau of the Environmental Protection Bureau about this matter. He let the Security Bureau be the security bureau. Everyone was looking for the same goal, but the channels and methods were different. Of course, the nature of the problem was also different.What he did was to clear things up, but what the Security Bureau did was called an activity. The name was different, and the focus was different.
The trip to Beijing went smoothly. After hearing this, several leaders in the ministry expressed their efforts to find a solution.Zhu Tianyun found his old chief again, his father's old superior.The old chief retired completely last year and was regarded as an idler, but Zhu Tianyun never dared to regard him as an idler.As long as you arrive in Beijing, no matter how busy you are, you must find time to sit at the old chief's house.The old chief has low back pain, which fell when he was young.He is the founder of China's two major oil fields, and later transferred from the oil front to railway construction. He is a meritorious figure.
Seeing Zhu Tianyun, the old chief was very happy and asked many questions.Zhu Tianyun had reported some things to the old chief before, and the old chief had always disapproved of Zhu Tianyun's meekness, and repeatedly emphasized that to be the top leader, one must act like the top leader.If you are influenced by others, why should you still be the top leader? Take the initiative to downgrade and become a deputy.As he spoke, he told Zhu Tianyun the stories of those years. Zhu Tianyun had listened to those stories countless times, and every time he listened to them again, he could still hear something new.Understanding success from other people's lives is a shortcut in life. Zhu Tianyun never felt annoyed and listened patiently.The old chief is indeed old, and he will lose control when he talks about it.While listening, Zhu Tianyun gave the old chief a massage. He also learned the massage technique secretly, and now it can be said that he is proficient in it.The old chief said that he had found three masseuses in the Beidaihe Nursing Home, and two massage therapists had been massaged by the head of the central government, but they still didn't feel as effective as Zhu Tianyun's hands.Zhu Tianyun was very pleased. He had put in a lot of effort to learn this skill. He secretly worshiped a blind technician as his teacher, and later asked an old Chinese doctor who has a lot of research on massage.Hard work pays off, he has practiced his hands dexterity.The old chief enjoyed it very much, and was almost so intoxicated that he wanted to fall asleep. Then he suddenly remembered something, pushed Zhu Tianyun's hand away and said, "Let me ask you, what's the matter with your little wife?"
The old head had a very good influence on Zhu Tianyun's ex-wife. When he first got married, the old head was still in a very important position. When Zhu Tianyun went to Beijing, if he dared not bring his wife, the old head would not let him in.After having a daughter, the love of the old chief and his wife will be even stronger.It's a pity that such a good wife has left.The old chief's attitude towards Xiao Yaning was very bad. He opposed it at the beginning, but his attitude has not changed until now.
Zhu Tianyun honestly reported Xiao Yaning's situation there, but he emphasized that Yaning came out for the company's development and wanted to work hard there.
"What does she want you to do?" The old chief got angry, "As a wife, you don't feel at ease at home with your husband and children, so why go abroad to join in the fun?"
"The old chief is right to criticize, and that's what I told Yaning."
"Yaning Yaning, I think you spoiled everything. You are the secretary, and you have to pretend to be a big deal in your heart. You can't be like a little man all the time. You only know how to love your wife." The old chief criticized for a long time, then changed the subject. : "Luck, the central government may have to make some adjustments to the Haidong team, don't you have any ideas?"
Zhu Tianyun didn't dare to answer right away. If you answer this kind of question too quickly, there will be problems. It will make the chief feel that you are not focused on work all day long, and you are always thinking about the position of the chief.But this news still shocked him a lot. The central government wants to adjust the Haidong team?The wind can come from people blowing in his ears, including Zhao Mingsen.
"You don't just want the benefits in front of you, do you?" Seeing that he didn't speak, the old chief asked again.
"Tianyun doesn't dare, Tianyun feels that his ability is shallow, and he dare not be too thoughtful."
"You are lying, why do you always tell lies. I can tell you that when doing work, you must be one or two, and you must be false. But the requirements for yourself should not just stay at the current stage, you must There are big goals."
"The chief's criticism is correct, and Tianyun sincerely accepts it."
"Accept what, I don't like your submissive attitude, did you let the little wife do this, you used to be very bold."
The old chief never called Xiao Yaning's name, and he always talked about his little wife, as if Zhu Tianyun had raised him outside.After being scolded, the old chief wants to say: "Let your little wife come back immediately, and don't cause trouble for me. If you dare to go abroad, you all be careful. If you don't build your own country, you have to go abroad to start a business. To start any kind of business is not just greed. It's about capitalism. If you, Zhu Tianyun, have the same idea, let's see how I deal with you!"
"Tianyun never dares, Tianyun never dares to have that kind of thought."
"I'm sorry you don't dare!" The old chief said bitterly, "Hold me for a while." Zhu Tianyun hurried over and held the old chief's shoulders.While enjoying himself, the old chief said: "This time is an opportunity. You are a member of the Standing Committee and have work experience in Haizhou. I think you can say that. But recently, you have to work hard and don't cause any trouble, my little wife." I want to take back my heart immediately, the central government is attaching great importance to this issue now, don't take you as a target." After finishing speaking, the old chief closed his eyes and went to enjoy it quietly.
Zhu Tianyun was greatly encouraged by the words of the old chief. It seems that the adjustment of the Haidong team by the central government is not a false rumor, and the old chief will never take this matter as a joke.Walking on the streets of Beijing, Zhu Tianyun is already planning his future.According to his analysis, when the central government adjusts the Haidong team, Guo Zhongxu is more likely to go, so who is promoted to governor is not just a mystery, but a rather complicated game of chess. It is not impossible for him to do so.There are too many precedents for a secretary of a provincial capital city to be promoted to the position of governor in one step. Zhu Tianyun's heart is full of excitement, and he feels more motivated than ever.
For officials, there is no greater temptation than the temptation to go up.It is said that the purpose of being an official is for money and enjoyment, but they do not understand officials.Money and enjoyment are just incidentals, something under power, just a hand in hand.For leaders at Zhu Tianyun's level, if they gamble their future on money and enjoyment, they will have no future or destroy their future.A real person in the officialdom keeps his eyes on the front at all times. The bright spot in the front is an ideal, an ambition, and serving the people. To put it bluntly, just a few words, a higher and more prominent position!
Back in Haizhou, Zhu Tianyun immediately felt a strange smell.Any rumor in the officialdom, even if it comes from the lowest level, will cause waves. No one will be shocked by the waves. What's more, this time the rumor comes directly from the top, so the impact can be imagined.On the first night in Haizhou, Secretary-General Tang Guoshu came to his house and talked about other things. Tang Guoshu said, "There seems to be some changes recently, and everyone's faces are full of anxiety."
"You heard that too?" Zhu Tianyun asked with a smile.
"I went to the province to report on work yesterday, and I talked with the secretary general of the province for ten minutes. I saw it on his face."
"Okay, Old Tang has learned to capture information from his face now."
"I also have to improve, don't I?" Tang Guoshu smiled strangely, and soon became serious again, saying: "One person moves the whole world, the province is very lively now."
"When did the secretary-general like to watch the show?" Zhu Tianyun asked with a smile, and said with a straight face: "No matter what, you can't slacken your work. The more this is the case, the more you have to hurry up, understand?"
"I understand this, there will be no problems, please rest assured the secretary." After expressing his attitude, Tang Guoshu suddenly said: "Recently, Sanyo seems to have stopped doing anything, and I reckon that the land of Electronics City will eventually be in Haitian's hands. "
"It can't be so fast, can it?" Zhu Tianyun frowned.
"Looking at Haitian's posture, it seems that he is determined to win."
"Are you sure?" Zhu Tianyun asked cautiously.
Tang Guoshu thought for a while, and said, "Manager Ru talked to me that day, and he seemed to be full of confidence."
"When dealing with her, you'd better pay more attention, don't let people mislead you." After Zhu Tianyun finished speaking, he began to meditate, and Ru Juan's fresh face flashed in his mind.Where is this woman acting?
"I'm afraid I'm not sure about some things, so I want to invite the secretary..." Tang Guoshu also used a tentative tone.
"What do you mean, tell me clearly."
"Why don't I arrange for the secretary to meet with her. I dare not make mistakes in this matter, so I must be sure."
Zhu Tianyun raised his gaze, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, just recently, this matter needs to be paid attention to."
Tang Guoshu was overjoyed for a while, this matter troubled him, the two real estate companies were fighting fiercely at first, as if they had settled for each other, but recently they suddenly changed their tune, as if they were about to withdraw and go back, which made him anxious and confused, He tried to get Zhu Tianyun to help him take his pulse.
There is still a gap between people. If you say that Tang Guoshu has been in politics for a long time, he served as a county magistrate and secretary of the county party committee, and then worked in the comprehensive office for several years before he reached his current position.There should be no shortage of political experience, and the ability to observe and judge problems should not be too bad.But at the critical moment, the brain is still not enough, or the total pulse is not up to that point.This may be one of the reasons why he can only be the secretary-general but not a higher-level leader.In fact, for the people around the leader, it is very important to find out the point in the leader's heart. If there is a slight deviation, everything will be wrong, and the slightest mistake will be thousands of miles away.And this kind of point is often held in the hearts of senior leaders, so it has become a very deep knowledge to know exactly what the leader thinks and how to know the pulse of the leader.How to dig out this point, dig it accurately.How to make a fuss around this point, make it bigger and better, and make a cake that the leadership needs is the key factor to test whether a secretary-general is qualified.
When Tang Guoshu was sad, Zhu Tianyun was also thinking about something.
On the way back to Beijing, Zhu Tianyun thought of a question, if Governor Guo Zhongxu really wanted to leave Haidong, how would he send him off?Should he be allowed to go red or black, should he be handed over, or should he create some obstacles appropriately?The reason why the central government adjusted the Haidong team was also the purpose. Zhu Tianyun didn't dare to judge, but Zhu Tianyun was qualified to think about Guo Zhongxu's moves, and he had to think about it, and he also had to think about Zhao Mingsen's point.This point determines his next actions, such as whether to dig a hole, and how big a hole to dig?Whether to shake the sand, whether to mix other sharp objects in the sand, and so on.Including the disposal of the Electronic City land, it must also be closely linked with Guo Zhongxu's departure.This is often the case in officialdom. When the buttocks are all on the seats, everyone can pretend to be crazy, tolerate everything, and strive to live in peace.As soon as someone's butt moves, balance and elbow restraint are immediately disrupted.You must know that the opportunity is not just for you alone, if you make a move, everyone's opportunities will come, and it will be difficult to think about peace at this time.It's one thing for you to want to walk, but it's another for whether you can escape or stumble along the way.Many people are clearly about to be promoted, the documents are about to be issued, and the new positions have been polished, but they capsize suddenly and fall heavily to the ground. It is because someone gave him a big gift when it should not be given.
Do you want to give Guo Zhongxu a gift? What kind of gift?Zhu Tianyun seemed uncertain.Ordinarily, it would be a good thing for Guo Zhongxu to move, although he is not sure enough to move to that prominent seat, but as long as Guo Zhongxu leaves Haidong, their iron triangle will lose its strongest corner, be it Luo Yuxiao or Liu Changfeng , the influence in Haidong will be greatly weakened, Zhao Mingsen will be more calm on his side, he will naturally follow suit, at least his work will never be as passive as it is now.But, what if Luo Yuxiao takes over that position, it's not impossible, the possibility is still very high.
No, it can't be this result, Zhu Tianyun is not reconciled, really not reconciled.Why!He squeezed his fist hard and snapped a pencil he was playing with in his hand.The crisp sound seemed like a hint, and it suddenly strengthened his belief in doing something.
Don't say that Zhu Tianyun is despicable, there has never been a word of despicable in the officialdom, what is discussed is promotion, success or failure, gaining power and losing power!Everything starts from the interests, from the pattern, and from the goal that must be achieved.
Zhu Tianyun has a goal, very ambitious.In order to achieve this goal, he has been working hard and trembling all these years. This time, he is going to give it a go for his ideals and aspirations.
In fact, it wasn't just for him, to put it bluntly, he was fighting for the whole Haidong.
Zhu Tianyun soon met Ru Juan, and the meeting place was chosen at a music tea house by the river, which was carefully selected by Tang Guoshu.With Zhu Tianyun's status, he can't go to places that are too sensitive, and places that are too formal always feel like being framed, and he can't relax even if he wants to, which makes everyone nervous.In addition, what he was going to meet was Ru Juan, a beautiful and capable woman, so Tang Guoshu naturally had to think carefully.
When she arrived at the place, Ru Juan was already a little anxious to wait, her eyes lit up when she saw Zhu Tianyun, she stood up gracefully, her face was covered with a layer of charm.It is said that a man's eyes shine when he sees a beautiful woman. Why is that not the case for women? Ever since she met Zhu Tianyun, Ru Juan's heart began to turmoil. She is a romantic and ambitious woman, very picky about men, but also Often full of fantasy.Rujuan used to go crazy for a man who was the president of a bank and had a family. The two got along for a while, but Rujuan found out that the other party was just making a deal with her, and almost introduced her to another powerful leader.Ru Juan scolded her mother and quit, she wasn't that cheap yet.After that, she erected a wall in her heart to prevent men from breaking in easily. Breaking in was very troublesome.Rujuan doesn't want to be a third party, and she doesn't want to be raised by a man in secret, but all the men who fascinate her want to treat her as a mistress or a mistress. The tree sprouts, and it is not allowed to grow branches and vines.But Zhu Tianyun gave her another feeling. This tree is interesting, it looks cold, but there is something hidden behind the eyes, and that thing may be poison to a dreamy and capable woman like Ru Juan.Women are easy to be drugged. Don't look at all of them pretending to be serious. In fact, all women in the world have a poison jar in their hearts. It depends on whether there is a man to help her overturn it.Although Ru Juan didn't dare to say that Zhu Tianyun helped her overturn the medicine jar, the impression Zhu Tianyun left on her was indeed good, even a little bit good. From time to time, she brought out the scene when they met and chewed it again and again, as if she couldn't chew it. Nothing but love to chew.In addition to chewing, she studied this man again and again. It was not enough to find out all about his past, and she continued to study his present and future.For an entrepreneur, such research has a very clear purpose, which is to see if he can get more profits from this man.For a woman who has no family and is still single, she has only one intention, which is to get him and possess him!
Don't think that Rujuan broke into Haizhou rashly, no, and don't think that she is someone's pawn, she is not cheap enough.Her father started a business at the age of 18, and when she was 18, her family assets would be able to buy the county government building at that time.Her father wanted her to go abroad and develop abroad. No, why did she go to other countries to make a fortune? Her own country is full of gold, and people who give gold to entrepreneurs are everywhere.Before graduating from university, she was the chairman of a subsidiary under her father.Now ten years have passed, and the water she has choked in the commercial sea can carry a giant ship.She has come into contact with bureaucrats and bankers, more than her classmates in one department of the university.But she didn't like the smell of these men.So I am interested in Zhu Tianyun only because of a photo.
Photo of Zhu Tianyun's ex-wife Yuan Mei.
God, that is simply a replica of myself.The interest was so sudden that it has now become wildfire.There are always some absurd people and some absurd things in this world, and Ru Juan is probably one of them.She likes to play some unconventional games and challenges, especially challenging people and things that are impossible.Exciting, adventurous, yet unstoppable!
Ru Juan asked He Fucai several times, did Secretary Zhu have a lover?He Fucai didn't answer directly, but just said: "I want to know, then you can ask him yourself." He Fucai called suddenly in the middle of the night and asked if she had done that to Secretary Zhu?Ru Juan deliberately said, which one?He Fucai said, that's all, you still pretend?Ru Juan laughed for a long time, and then mysteriously replied to He Fucai: "If you want something, Ru Juan wants it too, it's as simple as that." He Fucai immediately scolded her back: "Little slut, you don't have a straight face. It's clear."
"I don't believe he can be innocent to the end!" Ru Juan left this sentence, turned off the phone and went to sleep.She knew what He Fucai meant. He Fucai introduced her to Zhu Tianyun for a clear purpose. Ru Juan didn't like this. She came with a purpose, but she never mixed the purpose into love.What Ru Juan wants is love, not like He Fucai who nakedly sacrificed herself for an official position.
Rujuan is full of confidence in herself, she is young after all, and Zhu Tianyun's wife is not by her side, so she might not be able to get his love.Oh, love, Ru Juan almost dreamed again.Seeing Zhu Tianyun staring at him blankly, he quickly woke up and said respectfully, "The secretary is here, please sit down." He stretched out his soft hand for Zhu Tianyun to hold.Zhu Tianyun looked at her strangely, shook hands symbolically, and quickly glanced at the woman behind Rujuan. It was a vigilant look, habitual, and he would give this to strangers every occasion. look.The girl was in her twenties, as if she had just walked out of school.
"My cousin, Xiao Can." Ru Juan introduced.
Tang Guoshu added: "Xiao Can was recruited by the Municipal Development and Reform Commission after taking the exam last year. She is young and promising."
"Really?" Zhu Tianyun looked away from Xiaocan, he knew Rujuan's purpose of bringing Xiaocan here, to deceive others.Sure enough, shortly after sitting down, Tang Guoshu took an excuse to answer the phone and went out. Xiao Can filled them with water and left with the phone in his arms. He and Ru Juan were left in the private room.
"How is it, Boss Ru, is the project progressing smoothly?" Zhu Tian said in his usual tone.
Ru Juan smiled reservedly: "Thank you secretary, the work is going well, but there are also great difficulties."
"Oh?" Zhu Tianyun pretended to be surprised, and said again: "Which aspect is not going well, I didn't hear what Old Tang said."
"It's our internal problems, the capital chain is not strong, and the chain is old."
"Well, I can't help you with this, I have to find a bank."
"Don't dare to trouble the secretary. I'm dredging it up recently. I believe it will be resolved soon." Ru Juan stroked her hair, her face flushed.
"That's good, I'm waiting for good news from Boss Ru."
After a few words, the atmosphere gradually relaxed, Zhu Tianyun held up the water glass, and looked at Rujuan while drinking.This woman became more and more beautiful. I don't know if it was because of her deliberate dressing or the effect of the lighting. Zhu Tianyun felt that Ru Juan was more interesting than when she saw her last time.Seeing him peeping, Ru Juan didn't evade. She put her legs together and handed half of the silhouette to Zhu Tianyun.Zhu Tianyun stared at it thoughtfully for a long time, then closed his eyes and said, "I invite Boss Ru to come today, and I want to implement one thing."
Ru Juan moved her body slightly, and said softly, "Secretary, please tell me."
"What is Haitian's plan for the land of Electronics City? Is it just a taste of it or is it determined to win it?"
"Why did the secretary ask that?" Ru Juan's expression moved, and she leaned forward, trying to hand Zhu Tianyun a tissue, but Zhu Tianyun's cup was spilled with water.The moment Zhu Tianyun picked up the tissue, he accidentally saw a spring in his eyes, and his heart moved a few times.
"Why, shouldn't you ask?" Zhu Tianyun adjusted himself and asked calmly.
Ru Juan's body tensed up, and she put her chest away in a panic. Although Zhu Tianyun's tone was very light, Ru Juan still heard dissatisfaction, and hurriedly explained: "Where, the one who has been wanting to report the truth to the secretary is that the secretary is too busy."
"Really?" Zhu Tianyun said to Ru Juan in an indifferent manner, and Ru Juan became more and more nervous, and almost knocked over the cup in panic.Zhu Tianyun smiled and blamed himself for using this kind of bureaucratic accent in front of everyone. It's a bad habit, really a bad habit.He changed his tone and said, "Okay, we're not going to play around anymore, what's the plan for the next one, let me also understand."
Ru Juan pondered for a moment, then she seemed to have the courage to say, "What kind of result does the secretary want?"
This question was bold and straightforward, and Zhu Tianyun had to look at Ru Juan again.No one in business dared to talk to him like that. It seemed that this woman understood his thoughts.Without waiting for Zhu Tianyun to ask again, Ru Juan said again: "If you want to be quick, that's easy. I believe that Haitian will not be held back by anyone. It's just that Ru Juan wants to say, why should we be quick? The result is a matter of time, why don't we Make the process longer?"
"The process?" Zhu Tianyun felt that what Ru Juan said was very close to what he thought, and a surge of excitement gushed out of his body.
"The secretary doesn't think this piece of land is actually a card. If it is played well, it will produce many things." Ru Juan tilted her neck and looked at Zhu Tianyun playfully.At this time, there was no fear in her eyes, they were clear, yet cloudy, vast and full of mountains and rivers.Zhu Tianyun gasped, these things shouldn't be hidden in the eyes of a beautiful woman, it can be explained by He Fucai, the problem is...
"Boss Ru is quite courageous." Zhu Tianyun said almost sincerely.
"Where, I was forced by others. Come here and don't be rude. Since you want to play, then just play with me. Anyway, I have energy and time." Ru Juan suddenly showed a look of cruelty in her eyes.Zhu Tianyun suddenly understood that this man had bitten Yan Sanping.If you bite well, you are afraid that no one will bite, once you bite, all the scenes will start!
"Admiration, admiration." Zhu Tianyun stood up contentedly. He believed that all Rujuan's thoughts and cards to play would never come from her, and there was someone behind her!Zhu Tianyun's goal today has been achieved, and if he went on to say it, it would be a bit hard to pierce the paper on the window.He twisted his waist a few times, expanded his chest, and said as if he had just realized that there were only the two of them in the private room: "Hey, where are old Tang and that little girl, this guy?"
Rujuan got up knowingly, and said with a flushed face, "Maybe it's for chatting. Xiaocan admires the Secretary-General. I have always wanted to worship the Secretary-General as a teacher. Let me see." Xiaocan.
Zhu Tianyun squeezed his fist bitterly.
Ru Juan was really trying to trip Yan Sanping, this is what Haining District Chief Ming Zexiu told Zhu Tianyun.
After the Haizhou Industrial Base of the Far East Group was forced to suspend work, Zhu Tianyun called a small meeting. The district leaders only called Ming Zexiu, and not many people from the city attended. Basically, it was his money.At this time, you can only let your own people contribute, and everyone else stands on the sidelines to watch the joke.He asked Ming Zexiu to devote 60% of his energy to coordinating the relevant project matters, and pointed out that Ming Zexiu would stick to the bottom of any procedures that involved supplementary or new procedures in the district, from the beginning to the end. Staring at the tail, there can be no mistakes.Ming Zexiu came here to complain to Zhu Tianyun.
The main workshops of workshops No. 2 and No. 3 of the base project were initially approved during construction, which involved several project quality acceptance reports and project start approvals. They were not completed at the beginning, but this time they were checked out by the Provincial Construction Committee and the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. When Zexiu brought relevant personnel to the Municipal Construction Committee to re-apply, he was severely reprimanded by the director of the Construction Committee, Meng Huaian.Ming Zexiu ran several times in a row, and said what he needed to say. Meng Huai'an not only refused to do it, but sneered: "The district chief will do it, I am not the district construction committee, am I? Besides, this project is in violation of regulations. The chief made me make a mistake on purpose, although my black gauze of Meng Huai’an is worthless, but it can’t be lost because of your black gauze, district chief, right?” Ming Zexiu invited Meng Huai’an to dinner, but Meng Huai’an went, but borrowed After drinking a lot of wine, he finally touched Ming Zexiu's secretary.
"Just that presumptuous?" Zhu Tianyun held back, but Meng Huaian's behavior surprised him.
"Yes, Secretary Zhu, he is too shameless. Everyone knew the situation of this project at the time. It's not that they didn't do it. It's because their construction committee was negligent in their work. Why are they pushing it all down now?"
"It has nothing to do with face." Zhu Tianyun said emphatically.Ming Zexiu didn't dare to speak anymore, and looked at Zhu Tianyun stupidly. "Can't you think of a way?" Zhu Tianyun asked.
"I've thought about everything I need to think about. They're not accommodating. Now I'm at the end of my rope." Ming Zexiu looked helpless.
"Okay, I'll figure it out."
Zhu Tianyun didn't make things difficult for Ming Zexiu, he knew Ming Zexiu's situation.For the people below, Zhu Tianyun always protects the people when he can, instead of chasing and beating them fiercely.He understands the difficulties of the people below. Some things are not because the people below are not working hard, but because the people above are too bad.
"Secretary, just criticize, I'm really useless." Ming Zexiu lowered her head, her pitiful look made people feel distressed.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, just a few approvals, if you can't do it, I will do it."
Ming Zexiu immediately smiled, but she was still afraid in front of Zhu Tianyun.Later, when the two chatted about the land in the Electronic City, Ming Zexiu told Zhu Tianyun everything he knew. When it came to the competition between Dayang and Haitian, Ming Zexiu said: "These two are like playing hide-and-seek. When one family enters, the other retreats, as soon as Dayang gains momentum, Haitian shrinks back, Dayang stops moving, and Haitian fights again."
"What do you think?" Zhu Tianyun looked at Ming Zexiu carefully, he knew that Ming Zexiu said these things on purpose.
"Let them bite. In many things, only by biting can the truth be revealed." Ming Zexiu suddenly became bold, and she looked like a different person from the way she spoke just now.
Zhu Tianyun smiled knowingly.This articulation is wonderfully used, it seems that the people below his intention basically understand it.No, not his intention, they are all grasping the higher intention. "Okay, District Chief Ming can make jokes now, that's good, don't keep a sullen face all the time, work harder after you go down, you lick the firewood when they are short of firewood, and call for the wind if they are short of wind, you can't give up halfway." Zhu Tianyun was a bit desperate, he either didn't do this kind of thing, behaved himself, and let him go honestly.If you want to do it, you have to be ruthless, make a level and make a style.Now he can't contain himself anymore, he knows that he has been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for this day!
He suddenly felt terrible, how could this be?But just for a moment, the hesitation and fear passed, and my heart hardened again.Guo Zhongxu, you won't be able to leave, just wait and see if you don't believe me!
Zhu Tianyun looked at Ming Zexiu again, this time his eyes were affectionate and filled with infinite expectations.Ming Zexiu was inspired, and a certain fire that was suppressed in her heart was ignited, swelled, and excited.
"I understand, secretary." She nodded heavily.
Zhu Tianyun smiled gratifiedly. These years, their life has not been easy for this group of people.Work is difficult, life is difficult, and people seem to have power in their hands, but they are actually being bullied and squeezed by power, so it is difficult to do something quickly.
After a while, the excitement was not so high, and Zhu Tianyun said again: "By the way, what do you think of Ru Juan, please tell me your opinion?"
Ming Zexiu didn't react for a while, and was a little uncertain about Zhu Tianyun's thoughts. He was stunned for a while, and tentatively said: "She is a person who can do things."
"that's it?"
Ming Zexiu took another look at Zhu Tianyun. As a subordinate, you can never think that you can be unscrupulous if your superior is close to you. A sense of proportion is a must for every subordinate. Ming Zexiu's cleverness lies in always pretending to be in front of Zhu Tianyun. Weak people are weak, but it is not like this when they really do things.
"She's ambitious, she's ambitious, and she's smart."
"Go on." Zhu Tianyun smiled.Ming Zexiu's heart fluttered, what happened to Zhu Tianyun?But soon, I didn't dare to think about it anymore, I summed it up seriously in my heart, and said a lot of good things about Rujuan.After finishing speaking, he suddenly felt a little sore in his heart, bitter, and pretended to stroke his hair, waiting for Zhu Tianyun to speak.But Zhu Tianyun didn't say anything else, he just said: "Since this is the case, you should support her more."
Ming Zexiu left a little disappointed, women are sensitive, although Ming Zexiu had no fantasies about Zhu Tianyun, she still didn't want Zhu Tianyun to be nice to other women.Especially Ru Juan, who is rich, young and beautiful.
On the second day after talking with Ming Zexiu, Zhu Tianyun called Liu Dazhuang, the head of the discipline inspection team of the Construction Committee.Liu Dazhuang was very excited when he came. Recently, he and He Fucai, the deputy secretary, were engaged in a style rectification. He heard a lot of new things from He Fucai, some of which he could not hear at this level.
"Why, did you hit the big prize?" Zhu Tianyun said sarcastically. He has never been used to people who look happy, but other characteristics of Liu Dazhang attracted him, which made him a little partial to this cadre. An important position, but he is afraid that he will not be able to restrain himself and cause trouble.
Liu Dazhang quickly restrained himself, he was not afraid of anyone but Zhu Tianyun.
"How can there be a big prize, if you want to hit it, you have to hit it with your secretary, right?" He smiled slyly and sat down.
"Do you know why I called you here?" Zhu Tianyun came up with a warning first.Liu Dazhang jumped up from his seat just now, and said with a blushing face, "Could it be that I did something wrong again? The secretary wants to criticize me?"
"Who dares to criticize you, you can't touch a tiger's butt." Zhu Tianyun said, took out two cigarettes from the cabinet, and threw them to him.Liu Dazhuang was flattered, he was the only one in Haizhou who could enjoy this kind of treatment.As for his relationship with Zhu Tianyun, he was the one who scolded others.Liu Dazhuang was not in the Construction Committee before, but was the director of the Municipal Party Committee's Letters and Calls Office.Once for demolition, a group visit was triggered, and the municipal party committee was surrounded by a large group of people.The leaders all hid inside, and none of them dared to come out.Tang Guoshu ran to ask Zhu Tianyun for instructions, and Zhu Tianyun said angrily: "Do I have to come forward? What about Liu Dazhuang? Tell him that if no one can leave in half an hour, he will move his seat." Tang Guoshu hurriedly conveyed instructions to Liu Dazhuang , Zhu Tianyun followed quietly and stood in an unnoticed corner.As a result, he saw a very fresh and brilliant scene that day.This Liu Dazhuang first talked with the representatives of the petitioners, but it didn't work. He came out with his hands behind his back, and said to the crowd, "If you don't leave, you will be able to surround the municipal committee, and you will be able to solve the problem?"
"Go away, we need to see the secretary!" one of the young men said.
Liu hurriedly walked over, glared at the young man and said, "What did you just say, who should get away?"
The young man took a few steps back, pretending to be calm and said: "You can't control the matter, let someone who can manage the matter come out."
"Who are you, come out when you say you want to come out? I can't take care of things, why am I here, you can take care of things, show me!"
"Stop talking nonsense, tell your secretary to come out." The young man saw that he was very aggressive, and wanted to take a shortcut, but Liu Dazhang tore the young man's collar: "Dare to talk to me like this, do you know what I did before?" ?”
The young man's complexion changed, and he said tremblingly, "Are you going to hit someone?" Then he yelled, "The cadre beat someone, the cadre beat the common people." Don't let me go, surrounded him, and Liu Dazang rushed to the cadre of the Petition Office who was so frightened that his face was completely pale, and said: "Call 110 and let the police come." After a while, the police came, and the young man complained first, and all the onlookers rushed towards the police. Liu Dazhuang was taken away without any politeness, and two police cars were called to take all the villagers away, saying that they were asked to testify at the Public Security Bureau. Those people were so excited that they forgot about the petition and followed them all. .Zhu Tianyun was puzzled at first, but when Tang Guoshu came over and said to him, "He has completed the task according to your request, everyone left." Zhu Tianyun suddenly realized.
That time Liu Dazhuang recited the punishment and the Public Security Bureau fined him five thousand, but he punished himself in Zhu Tianyun's heart.
"I review, I review, the secretary just approves, and I have no complaints." Liu Dazhang nodded and laughed, he was afraid of Zhu Tianyun, but he dared to say such trivial things in front of Zhu Tianyun, but He Fucai pretended to be very polite in front of Zhu Tianyun .
"I'm not criticizing you, sit down and tell you something."
Zhu Tianyun told about Meng Huai'an making things difficult for Ming Zexiu. After hearing this, Liu Dazhang said, "He's gone too far. How dare he..."
"When is the time, don't talk indiscriminately, let's discuss the matter." Zhu Tianyun was afraid that Liu Dazhuang would think so, and now is not the time for full bloom, so he must be steady.Furthermore, he had promised Yu Yang that Meng Huai'an must not be attacked prematurely, and he had to be arrogant in his seat for a while.This is a systematic project, and every step must be done cautiously.
"Okay, let's talk about the matter, what does the secretary want me to do?"
"It's not what I told you to do. Find a way by yourself, use your brain, and solve this matter."
"I can't help this little thing, I promise to do it." Liu Dazhang left happily, and Zhu Tianyun's heart fell.
That night, Zhu Tianyun heard that Meng Huai'an was caught by the night police while he was taking a bath in a certain sauna city. Meng Huai'an called three women, one of whom was from Russia.听到消息，朱天运浑身的肌肉都笑得动了起来，这个刘大状，干这种事真在行。
建委卡着的那几个批文很快弄妥，奇招往往就有奇效，据说此事还惊动了孟怀安老婆唐雪丽，公安愣是把她叫去领人。听到男人那样，唐雪丽差点没背过气去，狠狠搧了孟怀安一巴掌，跑去找柳长锋告状了。结果又让柳长锋狠狠训了一通，教训她以后多点女人味，别整天像母狗一样乱在外面疯。明泽秀这次把持得好，她一直没出面，等孟怀安人丢得差不多了，才派区政府办公室主任去找他。孟怀安自然清楚问题出在了哪，事发当天晚上，有人就以“内线”身份告诉他，他肯定是得罪了区上，这次行动是区长明泽秀专门安排的。孟怀安哼了几声，终还是屈服，他怕明泽秀老是跟他过不去，老给他制造这种麻烦。
这事虽然办得费劲而且有几分憋脚，不过目的却达到了，朱天运尚算高兴。其实官场远不像外人想的那样充满智慧或是光明，鸡零狗碎的事多得数不清，为达到一个目的，或者放翻一个人，什么下三烂的手段都有人用，他这还算是仁义的。朱天运刚想松口气，环保这面却出了问题。本来朱天运去北京，啥都合计好了，北京再派一批专家来，重新评估。谁知节骨眼上还是出了错。
专家刚到海州，有人就将消息报告给了罗玉笑，罗玉笑也是狠，居然亲自出面请专家吃饭，还把朱天运和柳长锋都叫去，当着朱天运面，罗玉笑就谈起项目环评的事，言明一切要按规范来，谁也不能营私舞弊。他冲几位专家说：“我知道你们都很关心海东发展，也想为海东发展献计献策，我代表省委、省政府谢谢你们。但是海东发展不能靠投机取巧，我们不能为了一两家企业的利益毁了整个海东，我们要为子孙后代着想啊。”一席话讲的，在座几位专家面面相觑，扑闪着眼睛暗瞪朱天运。柳长锋却鼓起掌来，说今天听罗省长教导，让他受益匪浅。餐后就有专家问朱天运，怎么回事啊，书记请我们来，是让别人帮我们洗脑啊？朱天运近乎要恼羞成怒，质问环保局长老安，专家来海州，屁大个事怎么第一时间就到了罗玉笑耳朵里？安局长连声检讨，一个劲把责任往自己身上揽。后来还是秘书长唐国枢解围，说你们就别跟自己过不去了，人家早就做好了这一步，等着专家来海州呢。又说，我们都忽视了一个人，这个人能量是不是有点过大了些？
“谁？”朱天运将目光对准唐国枢。
唐国枢沮丧地说：“还能有谁，阎王呗。”
“阎三平？”朱天运近乎笑出声来，闹半天，原来是这个瘟神暗中捣鬼啊。
安局长这才说：“大洋想把远东基地西厂区的基建拿到手，我跟他们管基建的副总接触过，人家放出狠话，不让大洋分一瓢，这项目就别想顺顺利利上。”
朱天运骂了句脏话，接着道：“我宁可这项目停下，也不能让这帮贪得无厌的家伙给我整成豆腐渣工程！”这话他讲得有点违心，事实上谁也清楚，远东基地一开始就被若干建筑商盯着，现在只要是项目，就有大批人跟来，蝗虫一样要夺食，作为主要领导，你得平衡各方力量，得照顾方方面面，况且朱天运也不是多清白之人，也有自己的关系户要照顾。远东基地东厂区，几乎就给了他这条线上的建筑商。阎三平放出这样的狠话，人家是有道理的。
朱天运脑子里忽然崩出一个念头，这项目不上了，就让它烂在那里，他倒要看看，能烂出个啥结果来！
结果到了他限定的日子，朱天运真就召开会议，毫不食言就把安局还有两位部门领导撤了下来。他说：“既然你们干不了事，就把位子让开，让能干的上来。”然后让组织部拿方案。
这事激起轩然大波，连柳长锋都觉不可思议，唐国枢更是惊得目瞪口呆。要说撤掉的这三位干部，还都是朱天运这条线上的，朱天运这样做，是不是过狠了点？
朱天运跟谁都不解释，安局两口子找来，冯楠楠哭哭啼啼，他理也没理，铁了心似的，弄得冯楠楠好没面子。当晚就把电话打给萧亚宁，在萧亚宁面前告状，说朱天运拿她老公开刀。气得萧亚宁很晚了打电话过来，问他是不是犯神经了，干嘛跟一个环保局长过不去？“你不提他倒也罢了，就一环保局长，芝麻大个官，还不让他安稳干下去？”朱天运说了句让萧亚宁背气的话：“你不回来，我就乱撤，只要跟你萧亚宁沾关系的，我全撤掉。”
“你疯了呀！”萧亚宁气得大骂起来。
朱天运这边偷笑起来，他还没这么低俗，他是另有想法。
阎三平果然急了。阎三平的急有两方面，一来，他在两千亩土地上吃了大亏，赔了几千万不说，还让相关方面收审，在里面过了几个月。后来郭仲旭发话，加上他又从北京找人，才将他放了出来。他咽不下这口气，发誓要把本扳回来。二来，郭仲旭要走的消息阎三平第一时间听到，阎三平是商人，商人有商人的逻辑，我在你身上投了资，就要有利润，有赚头，要不我干嘛花巨额代价讨好你？阎三平在海东是赚了不少，可商人永远没满足的时候，再者，他赚得多，打点的也多。俗话说一个商人背后养着一大群官，下面还要养一大群小鬼。哪路神仙得罪了，他都没好日子过。单是每年春节，他派送出去的礼金还有实物，就够买一家小型企业。一个人一旦离开，这人基本上就没利用价值了，千万别相信以后他还会惦着你。世上有两种人你不能太抱希望，一是官员，另一是妓女。官员无情，婊子无义。跟他们的买卖都是现款交易，绝不能开空头支票。而且官员比妓女更可怕，官员那张嘴，横竖都能说，什么时候都是他有理。他越高升，离你距离就越远，你想靠他，付出的成本就越大。从哪个角度考虑，都不是件划算的买卖，所以阎三平要赶在郭仲旭彻底走人之前，把该捞的本都捞回来。
急好，朱天运要的就是这效果。对方不急，他还真不知如何下手呢。一番运作后，朱天运这边连连收到好消息，先是说阎三平托省投资中心经理和两位行长跟柳长锋说话，要柳长锋动作大点，别在电子城这块地上瞎转圈了，简单明了，一步到位，直接让大洋拿下。柳长锋据说是叫了苦，暗示这块地掌握在朱天运手里，他说了不算。接着就听到罗副省长发话，让省里有关部门查电子城，搞清这项目半途而废的原因。查就是给你找不是，想抓你把柄，然后逼你缴械。这点朱天运早有防范，他让区里该怎么配合就怎么配合，既不遮掩也不护短，查出问题，他朱天运一人负责。结果就有工作组真的入驻电子城，开始折腾事了。朱天运暗喜，他在电子城项目上真还是清白的，经得起各方面查。他希望查得久一些，查得越久，这台戏唱得就越精彩。猫袭耗子么，当然过程越长越有味。
对方是被他彻底调动起来了，按他的节奏出牌，按他期望的那样一步步往套子里钻。朱天运不敢有丝毫的懈怠，他知道，戏才开幕，能不能真的按计划演下去，还很难说。俗话说，要想有路走，你就得先修路，替自己修，也替别人修。很多人在官场，只记得抄近路，上快车道，或者直接走高架桥。朱天运不，从他被提拔为副科长那天起，他就知道，修路比什么都重要，他能走到今天，跟他这方面的造诣很有关系。跟修路相反的，就是堵水。路是为自己修的，水却是堵给别人。堵水不能一下给别人筑起一道大坝。得从边边角角堵起，一条河，一条江，那是别人干下的事，做下的孽，在政治场上叫犯下的错误。你从中心环节堵起，别人会急，会反扑。如果从不起眼的小角落堵，一步步的，将所有可供泄水的渠道都堵死，这水一下就成灾了，这时候你再在要命处捅他一刀，对方想还手都已无力。
朱天运现在就在做这些事。
只为对方做还不行，得把自己的渠道先修畅通，免得对方狗急跳墙时点你死穴。一切安排下去后，朱天运开始为自己谋划了。当下要务之急，还是劝萧亚宁回来，这点在北京时，他跟老首长保证过的。这些日子，他跟儿子朱爱国通过几次电话，想从儿子身上打开缺口，让儿子倒戈，不在新加坡上学了，回海东来。哪知这小兔崽子根本不上他的当，一口咬定要继续留在新加坡。朱天运问，前段时间你不是吵着要回来嘛，怎么？儿子哈哈笑着说，老爸你上当了，我是不想让我妈管着，难受啊，整天跟纪委官员似的，啥都要管，啥都要汇报，跟女同学说几句话她都要审问。老爸，把你老婆调回去吧，别在这边浪费了，你儿子成人了，完全可以自理。
“真的？”朱天运莫名地兴奋，他还担心把萧亚宁弄回来儿子会跟他翻脸，现在看来问题倒简单了。
“老爸你咋这么没头脑啊，我是帮你把老婆退回去，你可不能不配合哟，快点拿出魅力来，你一个人过多不带劲啊，我都觉得急。”
“臭小子。”朱天运呵呵笑着，压了电话。然后打给萧亚宁，一本正经跟她谈了起来。
“我不可能回去，朱天运你别做梦，想我你可以飞过来，在这边轻松几天。”
“现在不是轻松的时候，人家老婆全回来了，你让我怎么跟省委交待。”
“那事我管不着，我很忙，没事别再骚扰我，拜拜。”
“萧亚宁你听好，这次我没开玩笑，这周不回来，你自己看着办！”抢在萧亚宁压电话前，朱天运丢过去一句。
“怎么，你想离啊？”
“别逼我，如果你非让我难堪，我会采取措施的。”
萧亚宁那边突然没了声，朱天运以为她怕了，正要暗喜，没想萧亚宁突然说：“反了你了，朱天运我告诉你，敢跟我玩这一手，你试试看。别拿你的书记口气吓唬我，本小姐不怕！”
朱天运没招了，他虽不知道萧亚宁到底在那边迷恋什么，但是，一个直觉告诉他，萧亚宁一定是在那边被什么事拖住了。这不是好兆头啊，万一……朱天运不敢再想下去，再次提醒自己，不能犹豫，要下狠心解决此事。
第二天上班，朱天运阅完几份文件，接待了几位贵宾，看看表，差不多十点，叫来秘书说：“你联系一下谭总，看中午有没时间，想跟他一块坐坐。”秘书嗯了一声出去了，不多时又回来，道：“跟谭总通过电话了，谭总说正好有事要向书记汇报，中午他订好了地方，问您大约啥时能闲下来？”
“告诉他，让他先到，我赶十二点半过去。”
“好的，我这就通知。”
孙晓伟轻步退出去后，朱天运推开手头工作，开始考虑这顿饭怎么吃。在此之前，朱天运通过一些渠道，基本对海东进出口贸易公司的情况做了了解。谭国良身边有个女人，叫宁晓旭，谭国良一心想让这女人出去的，无奈萧亚宁这边说不通。看来，现在他得帮着谭国良了。
中午十二点，朱天运叫上唐国枢，驱车直奔酒店，路上他跟唐国枢说，今天跟谭老总吃饭，到时你可得配合好，帮我把老婆换回来。唐国枢听得一愣一愣，心里直纳闷，跟谁换老婆呢？到了酒店，谭国良候在门口，车子还未停稳，便笑迎上来，热情道：“书记好，秘书长好。”朱天运下车，扫了眼谭国良：“谭董好气派啊，订这么高级的地方。”唐国枢也说：“王朝饭店，我还没进去过呢，沾光，沾光啊。”
谭国良掩饰说：“请二位领导吃饭，我可不敢随便找地方，就这，难了我一上午呢，快请。”
王朝是去年新建的五星级大饭店，里面装修极其奢华，朱天运知道，进出口贸易公司一大半招待，都在这里，谭国良可谓这里的常客。如今搞企业，要的就是派头。在谭国良热情恭迎下，两人来到包房，宁晓旭跟酒店餐饮部经理迎出来，齐声问好。谭国良赶忙介绍，朱天运才知道宁晓旭是进出口贸易公司对外投资部部长。装作热情地说：“谭总身边个个是女强人啊。”谭国良打着哈哈道：“书记说是那就是，我希望她们都能强过我。”宁晓旭年龄比萧亚宁小一点，当然，姿色不凡，远远胜过萧亚宁。乍一看，很容易把她跟当红的某位影视明星联想到一起。
谭国良虽然客气，朱天运却不敢太把自己当回事。海东进出口贸易公司是省里大型国有集团，是前书记的政绩企业。谭国良也是前书记一手提携起来的，原来只是省外贸总公司总经理，后来省里将十二家企业联合起来，成立这家超规模的大型集团，谭国良摇身一变，成了当家人。当时朱天运还没到市委书记位子上，正在努力呢。前书记现在在某省当省委书记，偶尔过来，还是点名让谭国良陪。可见有些感情一旦建立起来，还真牢固。谭国良陪过的领导，多的数不清，朱天运这个级别，还不足以让人家低头。
宁晓旭倒是殷勤，主动张罗着为他们服务，一双眼睛幽幽的，在朱天运和唐国枢脸上瞄来瞄去。朱天运在脑子里转了很久，才猛然想起，自己见过这女人的，萧亚宁在外贸总公司做对外贸易部经理时，带她去过他家。当时感觉她很清纯，像个布娃娃，一晃，她都成栋梁了。菜布齐后，谭国良要敬酒，朱天运说：“今天不敬酒，随意，都是老熟人，客套就不必了，免得美女跟着受罪。”宁晓旭马上接话：“还是书记知道疼爱我们女人，真替萧总开心。”
“是吗？”朱天运直直地望住宁晓旭，他今天就一个目的，让谭国良把真话说出来。
宁晓旭接话说：“是呀，饭桌上总是你们男人强大，我们吓得话也不敢说，今天跟书记吃饭，难得书记能替我们女人着想。”
“不是替女人，是替宁部长。”唐国枢故意道。
“那我可激动坏了，我一定要敬书记一杯。”说着，双手捧杯，脸色妩媚地干了。朱天运说：“说好不敬酒的，你这是罚我了。”也将杯中酒干了。唐国枢和谭国良各陪了一杯，算是拉开酒幕。
气氛渐渐融洽，三男一女，很快将一瓶茅台干了，趁着酒兴，朱天运谈起了妻子萧亚宁，说最近老毛病又犯了，胃痛，外面饭吃不惯，家里又没人做，这日子过得，难受啊。宁晓旭说：“书记家没请保姆呀，要不，明天我去当保姆，一日三餐，保证把书记的胃养好。”
“那不行，我这人立场不坚定，容易犯错误。”朱天运率先开起了荤玩笑。宁晓旭脸红了下，咯咯笑出了声，胸前一大片粉白闪耀：“书记会犯错误，我才不信呢。秘书长您说，能那么容易犯错误？”
“这个我不敢乱说的，你倒是可以说说，谭总是不是从来不犯错误？”
“那要看哪种错误了，秘书长不敢讲，我也不敢乱讲。”说着，眼神勾魂似地往谭国良脸上扫了一眼。
任何女人，只要跟男人有了那层关系，不管多么不该露的场合，都能露出来，掩饰不住的。女人的眼睛是浅井，不是深井，爱和恨只要在里面，就情不自禁想把它露出来。所以很多关系，都是女人先把男人出卖了。于洋就不止一次说，他干了这么多年纪委工作，最容易的突破口还在女人身上。他说，袭击女人的方式有两个，一是告诉她，她深爱着的男人除她之外还有别的女人，而且用情都比她多，女人一准崩溃。另一个就是用钱砸她，告诉她男人把钱藏在了别的女人那儿，她这里不过是客栈，根本不是银行，女人也保证翻脸。宁晓旭这阵的眼神就在告诉朱天运和唐国枢，面前这个男人是她的神，是她为之颠倒为之失魂的那一个。
谭国良有几分紧张，他带宁晓旭来，绝不是显摆的，这点上他有足够的清醒。他也是在揣摩朱天运的心思，朱天运一心想让老婆回来，就必须得有人出去顶替他老婆，这个人选当然是宁晓旭，这是他今天带宁晓旭的目的。想让朱天运把这话说出来，也好为将来留条退路。朱天运前程无量，这点谭国良早就深信不疑，而且前书记反复跟他交待，在海东，他可以得罪罗玉笑得罪柳长锋甚至对省长郭仲旭有所不恭，就是不能对朱天运有任何不敬。
“这条船上的人，你伤不起啊，一定要赢得他们的支持，最好嘛……”前书记没把话说完，但意思全在里面了。当初所以派萧亚宁出去，就是谭国良向朱天运抛出的一个绣球。
“晓旭今天有点喝多了，两位首长别介意。”谭国良打起了园场。
“谭总不公平，人家晓旭哪里喝酒嘛，来，晓旭，为你的美丽永驻，咱俩干一杯。”唐国枢将起了军。宁晓旭真是有点多了，她的城府还不足以让她在这种场合控制好自己，端起酒杯，说了句性感的话，一仰脖子喝下了。
朱天运也没想着让宁晓旭出丑，那不是他的风格，对女人，他还是既尊重又爱护的，除非这女人惹恼了他。他道：“谭总手下有这么多强将，干嘛非要我夫妻分居啊，太残忍了吧？”
“是啊，我得敬谭总一杯，我这个秘书长不称职，照顾不好书记，现在就看谭总这边能不能发发慈悲了，帮我一把。”说着，真就给谭国良敬酒。谭国良再怎么着，也还不敢在两位面前耍大牌。忙起身说：“我失职，失职啊，哪敢让秘书长敬，我自罚一杯。”说着，满满斟了一大杯，畅快地喝下。朱天运从这杯酒里感觉出东西，笑道：“看来谭总是同情我了，好，我也喝一杯。”
“哪敢说同情，书记怎么批示我怎么办，这事我真是失职，失职啊，我马上去那边，书记就等我的好消息吧，这次我背也要把夫人背回来。”
这顿饭吃到这，就算吃出味儿来了。饭局结束后，谭国良护送着二位领导上车，宁晓旭一手拎一个袋子，说是公司最近做了新礼品，请二位领导带去，帮公司宣传宣传。朱天运警惕地瞅了一眼礼品袋，想拒收，唐国枢递给他眼色，朱天运才笑呵呵说：“白吃白喝，还白拿，我和秘书长真成三白干部了。”
“哪的话，书记是替我们企业免费当宣传员呢，将来企业效益增长，我们再给书记宣传费。”宁晓旭摇曳着身子说。
到了车上，唐国枢急着要打开袋子，朱天运挡住他的手说：“先别打，我们玩个游戏，猜猜里面装的什么？”唐国枢瞅了眼司机，又看看朱天运，朱天运只当司机不存在，先猜了茶叶和水宜生喝水杯，最近好像各单位开会都爱发这个。唐国枢摇头道：“不会那么廉价，再怎么着也是送给书记和秘书长的，至少有点真金白银吧。”
“那东西烫手，最好不是，我还是猜化妆品什么的，人家谭总保养得就是比你我好。”
“那我猜衬衫和领事，送礼的可是人家宁部长。”两人开够了玩笑，打开袋子一看，傻眼了，袋子里各装一块表，劳力士。外加一个香檀木盒子，再打开，居然是古董。
如果只是劳力士手表，朱天运也就欣然接受了，这种东西他不是没收过，现在没人拿它当回事。一看到古玩，脸色突然变暗，变惊，楞半天说：“你收的，你处理吧。”
唐国枢傻傻地望住朱天运，刚才所以给朱天运递那个眼色，是怕朱天运当面拒绝，让谭国良起疑心，今天这顿酒白喝。哪料到对方会用这么重的东西砸他们，一时无语，走到车子停他家楼下，才道：“好吧，袋子我先寄存到赵朴书记那里。”
萧亚宁果然很快就回来了。
朱天运压根没想到，妻子萧亚宁跟宁晓旭貌合神不合，两人隔阂深着呢。萧亚宁最反感女人吃身体饭，尤其
