Chapter 17 Chapter Eleven

As soon as Gu Rong returned home with a sullen face, he saw Feng Yaozu talking to Gui Zhen in the living room with an angry face.Seeing Gu Rong coming in, Feng Yaozu immediately stood up and called out: "Secretary Gu." He handed over the cigarette and hurriedly struck a match.Gu Rong responded casually, put a cigarette in his mouth, and after Feng Yaozu lit it, he was about to enter his room.He generally disdains to intervene in the nonsense between his subordinates and his wife.Leaders must maintain dignity and distance from subordinates.Moreover, he has to consider the vicious situation today.

He didn't expect Li Xiangnan's conference speech to be so aggressive. "Xiang Nan rushed at you when he spoke at the conference?" Gui Zhen asked while looking at him, wiping her hands on the apron tied around her waist. "Why are you asking this?" He waved his hand sullenly, "Family members should not meddle in politics casually." His subordinates were present, and he was particularly strict with his wife. Guizhen looked at him and shut up. "Okay, tell me what you want, let me think about work." Gu Rong waved his hand and said as calmly as possible.

"Secretary Gu, Li Xiangnan's speech at the meeting today was completely aimed at you with ulterior motives." Feng Yaozu said angrily. "You are a member of the Standing Committee, don't talk like this casually." Gu Rong criticized dissatisfiedly, and pushed the door into the back room. "What about Xiaorong's affairs, didn't Xiang Nan also order Xiaorong's affairs?" Guizhen simply followed into the room, and Feng Yaozu also followed. "Xiao Rong, Xiao Rong." Gu Rong suddenly became angry, "He is your precious son all the time. I have also considered it. I will call him back from Guangzhou and send him to the court in person." Both Gui Zhen and Feng Yaozu were stunned. . "And you," Gu Rong turned to Feng Yaozu again, "also send your kid to the court in person!"

"You are..." Guizhen stared at him blankly. "I've made up my mind." Gu Rong said angrily, then sat on the sofa, slowly propped his forehead with his hands, covering his eyes.The room was silent for two seconds. "Xiao Rong is sick...in Guangzhou." Guizhen said. Gu Rong took his hand away, and just about to explode, his hand stopped in mid-air. "Toxic dysentery, almost died... People from Wujiaohua Company of the county came back today and said." Feng Yaozu helped explain. Gu Rong's hand fell back weakly to support his forehead. "Xiao Rong asked him to bring the letter." Gui Zhen stopped here and looked at Gu Rong.

It was only then that Gu Rong realized that there were two "red tower mountains" lined up on the coffee table.It must have been brought by someone from Xiaorong, the son knew that Yunyan was his favorite.Next to the cigarette was a letter from his son, open.He saw the first line at a glance: "Dear Mom and Dad: Hello..." His only son.He closed his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand to touch the letter, and slowly closed it.He waved his hand lightly again.Gui Zhen and Feng Yaozu looked at each other, closed the door and retreated into the living room. Gu Rong sat for a while, opened his eyes, pushed back the two cigarettes on the coffee table, stood up, and walked around the room.As a father, he was weak; as a politician, he was strong.He wanted to think about the political situation in Guling.

Hearing that Gui Zhen was talking to someone who just arrived in the living room again, she was probably engaged in the usual "Madam checks and blocks the driver" again. "We have something to do with County Magistrate Gu, is he there?" It was Director Gao of the Public Security Bureau. "What's the matter?" Gui Zhen didn't answer the question as usual, she wanted to ask the other party why.When meeting someone she doesn't know, she still has to ask the person's identity. "There are some things that I need to talk to County Magistrate Gu in person." The other party said politely but firmly, obviously it was unbearable to be scrutinized by such a wife.

"Business or personal matter? If you don't tell me, how can I arrange a time for you to talk?" Guizhen said a little meanly. "If it's a business matter, it's also a private matter." Chief Gao said compromisingly. "It's a business matter, I'll find him in the office tomorrow, if it's a private matter, you can tell me." Gui Zhen said. Gu Rong opened the door and walked out. "It's the two bureau chiefs." He smiled kindly. The one with silvery white hair and ruddy complexion is Director Gao.The short man with a wide forehead and a cautious face is Deputy Director Sun.

"Come on, come on, sit down." Gu Rong said wearily and kindly, "Madam is in the way, please ignore her." He said with teasing to his wife, "Go in if you have to. "People sat down. "Old Sun, what are you going to talk about?" He first turned his attention to Deputy Director Sun.Deputy Director Sun used to act on Gu Rong's face.Gu Rong must first show his authority on him. "Ah, let's talk about something..." Deputy Director Sun dodged his small eyes, and then turned to look at Director Gao. "Old Gao, you don't come to the door for everything." Gu Rong turned his gaze to Director Gao and said indifferently: "I still want to talk about Xiao Rong and his children? I think there is no need to talk about it. Seek truth from facts. Do it according to the law."

"About this case, Secretary Li gave instructions at the meeting today..." Director Gao said as he sat upright.Director Gao has only been in Guling for two years, but he has offended many people by being professional, serious and stubborn, and following the rules, making him somewhat isolated from top to bottom. "Did he understand the situation, so he gave instructions?" Feng Yaozu said angrily, struck a match with a bang, and walked over to light Gu Rong's cigarette again naturally. "He asked us to hear the report." "It's not the way to talk about the legal system." Feng Yaozu looked at Gu Rong's expression and continued, "Do you want stability and unity? Opinions within the county standing committee are not discussed face-to-face, but brought to the meeting of thousands of people. What is this approach?" He turned to Deputy Director Sun, "Is this plausible?"

Deputy Director Sun dodged his eyes. "I think what he said is right." Director Gao said. Just as Feng Yaozu was about to open his mouth to retort, Gu Rong interrupted him with a wave of his hand.His wife, Guizhen, interjected: "The case was closed a while ago, why did the Public Security Bureau find it out again?" "What are you messing around here?" Gu Rong put his face away and shouted. "Is this your business too? As a parent, I have no right to talk about my son?" "Just because you are a parent, you should talk less, you know?" Gu Rong pushed the teacup onto the coffee table and reprimanded him sharply.Gui Zhen looked at him in a daze.Gu Rong stood up abruptly, and walked around the living room with his hands behind his back.Director Gao was smoking a cigarette and said nothing, Deputy Director Sun lowered his head.Gu Rong was angry at his wife, but put pressure on them.

Gu Rong frowned and sat down on the sofa again. He looked at Director Gao: "There is no need to talk about this matter. Let me make another statement: I completely believe that you can handle it properly. On this matter, I am a Ordinary parents, not the deputy secretary of the county party committee, it is best not to say anything about me. Yaozu," he looked at Feng Yaozu sternly, "you have to avoid it too. Lao Gao is the director there, why do we have to worry about it? Gu Rong paused, took a puff of cigarettes, and looked at Director Gao and Deputy Director Sun: "I will be your deputy secretary of the county party committee and your county magistrate when you leave the child. Your job is your responsibility." I will take care of everything." He smiled kindly, and his intuition dominated him to start the political action in the living room.These two directors of the Public Security Bureau are not only important to Gu Rong as a father, but even more important to Gu Rong as a politician. Li Xiangnan was obviously trying to seize Xiao Rong's affairs and attack him. "Old Sun, I have already informed the Organization Department and the Personnel Bureau about the transfer of your family members. It will be done after a while." Gu Rong said. "Thank you Secretary Gu." Deputy Director Sun said. "Comrades, I will always do my best." "You want to do your best," Feng Yaozu muttered, adding water to Gu Rong's teacup, and pushed the teacup onto the coffee table, just in line with the weight of complaining about an old superior who is closest to him and loves him most, " I’m afraid that some people won’t let you do your best in the future.” "There is no sense." Gu Rong lowered his face again, "If I really don't let me do my best, I will be finished if I don't do my best. I have been in Guling for more than 30 years, and I am planning to retire here. I won't Transfer me away from the ancient tomb again?" "Unless you are transferred to another area." Director Gao smiled.He also wished to soften the air a little. "I'm determined not to go, and you can't force me to go, right?" "That is." "Since I can't be transferred, as long as I am in Guling, with my thirty years of work, I will do my best for everyone. In a word, I won't be worse than others, right?" On the deputy director. "Yes, yes." Deputy Director Sun nodded repeatedly. "Li Xiangnan came here to be the secretary of the county party committee, and now he seems to have some conflicts with me, which is normal." Gu Rong continued, "Young, educated, come to the grassroots to train for a year or two, and will definitely return to the provincial party committee in the future He wants to hurry up and come up with something new, hot-headed and impatient, it's inevitable." He glanced at everyone's expressions and knew the weight of what he said about Li Xiangnan's training for a year or two. "His father is my old chief, two days ago,...was it the day before yesterday?" He turned his head and looked at Guizhen inquiringly, "He also sent me a letter, asking me to help him more as an elder What's the matter, I can still talk to his father. There is a conflict, where can it go?" He flicked the ash in the ashtray majesticly, "I want to squat in the ancient tomb and do my best for everyone. No one can move me so easily, right?" He first clarified the big picture, creating a sense of absolute superiority in power balance.This sense of power contrast will give people like Feng Yaozu psychological stability, and give people like Director Gao psychological pressure.A lot of pressure was created, and he began to make a fuss step by step to make Director Gao submit.It is his main purpose at this time to clean up this stubborn head. "Old Gao, do you think so?" He asked with a smile. "...Yes." Director Gao nodded reluctantly, he knew Gu Rong's intentions. "I am the deputy secretary and the county magistrate. What am I doing? I am trying to do my best for the comrades. First of all, I want to create some conditions for the work of the comrades. Let me say that you are a foreign cadre. I am very worried. Foreign cadres generally have difficulties in working in the county, and local cadres often have conflicts with you, don’t they? It cannot be generalized as xenophobia. The local cadres in Guling have been with each other for decades. Naturally, the relationship between them is deep. If you are a newcomer and work harder, there will inevitably be a gap. I see that you, Director Gao, have a very tense relationship with most of the cadres in Guling now. Isn’t it?” "It's not nervous." Director Gao denied, "It's normal to disagree with some comrades on some issues." "How can it be so simple. There are some things you can neither see nor understand." Gu Rong restrained the unhappiness in his heart, shook his head and said, "Many people are very dissatisfied with you, and often come to talk to me. Reflect. There are many people in your public security system who have feelings for you. I have been doing work for them to let them understand you and not create barriers. This is what I should do. I am often very worried. .” "Secretary Gu, I don't think there is anything to worry about. I don't consider these relationships that cannot be put on the table, as long as we can work together." Director Gao said calmly. "How can you not think about it?" Gu Rong criticized lovingly, "They move up and down, and most of the district public prosecutors are from Guling, so they pushed you, Director Gao, aside." Director Gao lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while, then said, "I don't think the situation is that bad." Annoyance welled up in Gu Rong's heart, but he didn't show it at all.He didn't think things too easily: "Old Gao, take a look at the several bureau chiefs who have come to Guling County in the past, have they all served as chiefs?" "If I really want to stop working, I will retire at worst." After a while, Director Gao said. Gu Rong was stunned for a moment, and soon smiled gently: "You retired in the ancient tomb, right? But you're going to get stuck with everyone, and it's hard to live alone in an environment that hurts people." Ah." Gu Rong stood up and walked slowly in the room, "Okay, I won't say much, I appreciate your straightforwardness. No matter what your attitude is, as the deputy secretary of the county party committee, I still want to be my Not only to do, but also to do more. I think Guling has a few foreign cadres. They are all local cadres. If they are not mixed with sand, they will be hardened and airtight. That's not good." Gu Rong stopped up. "Old Sun," he turned his head to look at Deputy Director Sun, "you have been with me for many years, and I only have one request for you: You must cooperate with Lao Gao's work, huh?" "yes." "I don't think you are too united," Gu Rong criticized Deputy Director Sun. He singled out the conflict between Sun and Gao to make a fuss. and." Deputy Director Sun lowered his head in embarrassment, his face flushed.Naturally, he couldn't see through Gu Rong's deep intentions. "I know Lao Gao, he is straightforward, sometimes he is not very careful, and he doesn't understand the sharp opinions of comrades around him. You should help him frankly. I always have stricter requirements on you, and I have been with me for many years. You can't watch Lao Gao fail to work in Guling, can you?" Gu Rong taught Deputy Director Sun a lesson. Director Gao was also shocked by Gu Rong's stern words. "After you go back," Gu Rong continued to say to Deputy Director Sun, "talk with comrades like Lao Zhu, Lao Ge, Xiao Ji, and Xiao Huang in the bureau, and pass on my words. Let them stop talking to Lao Gao again. Whatever emotions you have, focus on work." "yes……" "Also, stop spreading rumors about Lao Gao." Director Gao was stunned when he heard the abrupt words. "Lao Gao has been working in the police for decades, so can he be free from fault? Standing by the river for a long time, how can anyone not get his shoes wet?" Gu Rong criticized severely. Director Gao's originally rosy face turned even redder. He was demoted in the past for handling wrong cases. "I should sum up the lessons of the past..." he said with difficulty. "The past is over, so why mention it?" Gu Rong turned his head and criticized Director Gao sharply, "I'm always thinking, so I don't need to look up?" Gu Rong turned his face to Deputy Director Sun angrily: "How can such things in personal files be spread out? It spreads to the ears of the common people. It is said that he is a police chief who has wronged a good person. People walk in front and ordinary people poke their backs. How can Director Gao work in Guling in the future? ?” Gu Rong was teaching Deputy Director Sun, but Director Gao felt the pressure.He just found out that his situation in the ancient tomb is so dangerous today. "Block the rumor on the spot. Don't spread it!" Gu Rong continued to reprimand Deputy Director Sun, "Whoever spreads it will be punished by party discipline and state law. I don't care about you, I really don't know the heights of heaven and earth. Go back and find out who spread it first , report to me." "Ok." The more Gu Rong said, the more angry he became. If the anger at the beginning was feigned, the anger now is real to a certain extent.He sat down, lit a cigarette by himself, put the matchbox on the coffee table with a bang, and said, "As a leader, I don't have so many new tricks. The main thing is to help everyone do their best in work and life." Power, to mediate all kinds of conflicts for everyone, " "This is your most important job." Feng Yaozu flattered carefully. "You will carry the sedan chair." "Be realistic." "Seeking truth from facts? Hmph." Gu Rong gave him a dissatisfied look, then turned his head, "Let's talk about seeking truth from facts, Lao Gao, how is your health recently? Half of your stomach has been removed, so be careful." "It doesn't matter." "Has your child's deafness been cured? Let's find a way to go to Beijing again. I told the director of the county hospital, Zeng, that he has a relationship with Beijing Tongren Hospital. You only have one son, so you can't delay." "If the child is sick, he needs to be seen. If the child is wrong, he must be cured and saved." Feng Yaozu babbled. "Playing the piano randomly, where is this going?" Gu Rong paused, then turned to Director Gao, "Go to Beijing to see, huh? I can understand the feeling of being a father with only one son. You have been here for more than a year , The housing has not been arranged very well. It is too inconvenient for a family of five to squeeze into a semi-small room. I will say hello to them and give you a house." "Ah... I'm not in a hurry." Director Gao responded from his trance.
