Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Resolving Conflicts with Appropriate Sacrifice
A month passed in a blink of an eye, during which Qiao Ruoxuan came back once, and Pu Tiancheng talked to her about the job change in a roundabout way.Pu Tiancheng said: "I've thought about it for a long time. Old Du is not very reliable. If you team up with him, something will happen sooner or later. Otherwise, you should move somewhere?" Qiao Ruoxuan put down the newspaper in her hand, stared at Pu Tiancheng and asked: "Where to move, you won't be short of the deputy secretary-general again?" Pu Tiancheng's eyes darkened, "Ruoxuan, I'm going to talk to you about something serious."
"Talk about business in your office, this is home, I come back once a month, I don't want to hear business." Qiao Ruoxuan got up and went to the kitchen.Coming back this time, Qiao Ruoxuan discovered a problem that women are most likely to notice but also most easily overlooked. Her kitchen has become a decoration, and she concluded that Pu Tiancheng hadn't cooked a single meal for more than a month.If this continues, Pu Tiancheng's stomach can't take it anymore. A man at this age can't make do with it.Qiao Ruoxuan wanted to find a nanny for Pu Tiancheng, but Pu Tiancheng refused.Qiao Ruoxuan was not reconciled, so she called Wang Jingyu behind Pu Tiancheng's back and asked him to find a nanny from Yongchuan.Yongchuan is a county below Guanghuai. Wang Jingyu used to be the county magistrate in Yongchuan. The women in that area can endure hardships since they were young, and they have good hygiene habits.Wang Jingyu said that there happened to be a distant relative with many girls at home, and he promised to bring them over in a day or two.Qiao Ruoxuan wanted to clean the kitchen seriously, she would lose face if outsiders saw such a messy kitchen.
Pu Tiancheng stopped her and said, "Ruoxuan, think about it again. There is something I haven't told you. In fact, Secretary Hanlin also has this idea."
Qiao Ruoxuan's steps stopped abruptly. After a long time, she turned around and said to Pu Tiancheng, "Impossible!"
Pu Tiancheng didn't tell what Secretary Hanlin talked to him last time. He was afraid that Qiao Ruoxuan would not be able to accept it, so he still said tactfully: "You also know that Secretary Hanlin has always had opinions on official families. He said in several meetings that It’s time to remove the feature of Haidong.”
"Do what you say? Pu Tiancheng, you want to use Secretary Hanlin to suppress me. I solemnly tell you that I can't come back. Du Hanwu wants to kick me out, but I still won't leave." After finishing speaking, Into the kitchen.
Pu Tiancheng knew that it would be useless to continue talking, and it might hurt the harmony of the two of them, so he thought a little sadly, when will Qiao Ruoxuan's character be changed?
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Jingyu's car arrived, and it brought a tall girl named Lu Xiaohui, almost as tall as Qiao Ruoxuan.At first glance, it doesn't look like he came from a backward place like Yongchuan. Although he is dressed very plainly, his big watery eyes are extremely energetic, giving people the illusion of being sophisticated.Without knowing it, Pu Tiancheng asked inwardly: "This is..." Lu Xiaohui swayed her pretty body, stood on the side a little cautiously, and looked timidly at Wang Jingyu's face.Wang Jingyu smiled at Pu Tiancheng, then looked at Qiao Ruoxuan.Qiao Ruoxuan looked Lu Xiaohui up and down several times with her eyes. Obviously, she was a little worried about Lu Xiaohui's age and mature body. Figure, which fashion company should I go to be a model for? The chest hidden in the plain clothes, once it is set off by changing clothes, it is very worrying.But since Wang Jingyu brought it, she couldn't refuse it, and besides, the child was only fifteen years old, so she couldn't think badly, so she asked, "All the family agrees?"
"Agreed." Wang Jingyu replied on behalf of Lu Xiaohui, her eyes quickly swept across Pu Tiancheng's face, with a certain meaning.
"Do you know how to do the housework?"
"Don't worry, Auntie, I'm good at doing laundry and cooking." It was Lu Xiaohui who answered this time.As soon as Lu Xiaohui spoke, the simplicity of a country child was revealed.There are two sweet dimples on her beautiful face. This child is quite cute.Qiao Ruoxuan nodded and said, "Let's stay here. Your uncle has a bad stomach, so remember to cook lightly. Besides, the shirts need to be washed every day, and they must be ironed after washing."
Lu Xiaohui nodded one by one, and Pu Tiancheng finally realized, "I said no, why are you still..."
"It's up to you if you want to, sit down quickly in Jingyu, and I will take Xiaohui to get acquainted first."
Wang Jingyu smiled secretly and sat down.Putiancheng gave him a gouged look, and sat down helplessly, chatting with him about the following matters without saying a word.
Qiao Ruoxuan quickly finished what was to be explained, and took Lu Xiaohui to the bedroom again.The bedroom was vacated by her in the morning. It used to be a guest room. It was a bit small, but it was enough for a nanny.Lu Xiaohui didn't bring much luggage, and in fact she didn't need to, as Qiao Ruoxuan had prepared everything for her.After looking at the bedroom, Qiao Ruoxuan asked, "Are you satisfied?" Lu Xiaohui blushed, and said shyly, "It's so good. I thought I would live in the basement." Wang Jingyu answered, "Last year she worked as a housekeeper in Beijing. , a few children crowded in a basement." Only then did Qiao Ruoxuan know that Lu Xiaohui had worked as a housekeeper before, and it was still in Beijing, no wonder.She breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "This is Haizhou, not Beijing. What's missing, just tell your uncle at any time, he will treat you like his own daughter." Meaning, after finishing speaking, Qiao Ruoxuan glanced at Pu Tiancheng.Pu Tiancheng already had an idea in his heart, once Qiao Ruoxuan left, he would dismiss Lu Xiaohui, what kind of nanny would he want, and besides, this girl was too tall, so it was not good to live together.
Wang Jingyu was going to invite Pu Tiancheng and his wife to dinner, but Pu Tiancheng didn't want to go and lied that he had something to do and declined.Qiao Ruoxuan was in a hurry to go to Secretary Hanlin's house. When she left Guanghuai, she made an appointment with Secretary Hanlin's secretary. As soon as she woke up in the morning, she sent a text message to Secretary Hanlin. Call her at five.When she was in the bedroom just now, she received a text message from Secretary Hanlin, saying that Secretary Hanlin asked her to go over.This matter also cannot let Pu Tiancheng know, once Pu Tiancheng knows, it will cause new unhappiness.
Seeing that Pu Tiancheng and his wife were unwilling to go out with him, Wang Jingyu got up and said goodbye tactfully. To read eyes, and so on.Seeing them singing together, Pu Tiancheng wanted to laugh, but felt his throat was blocked by something and couldn't laugh.
After Qiao Ruoxuan dressed up and went out, only Pu Tiancheng and Lu Xiaohui were left at home.Lu Xiaohui has changed the clothes she wore when she came here, and changed into the overalls she wore when she was doing housekeeping in Beijing.The person who designed the tooling also had imagination, and actually imitated the style of the uniform, obviously for housework, he didn't design it looser, on the contrary, mountains are mountains and rivers, and the scenery is all embellished for you.Putiancheng glanced at it, feeling hot all over his body and feeling very uncomfortable. He scolded Wang Jingyu in his heart, thinking I didn't know about your crazy ideas, don't worry, be kind!
When Lu Xiaohui went out to buy vegetables, Ma Xiaolin called and said that he had just arrived in Haizhou and had something urgent to report to the Secretary General.Pu Tiancheng asked where Ma Xiaolin was now, and Ma Xiaolin said he was at the gate of Jinjiang Hotel.Pu Tiancheng told Ma Xiaolin to wait there, he will be there soon.
Twenty minutes later, Putiancheng arrived at the Jinjiang Hotel.As expected, Ma Xiaolin stood there with an uneasy expression, and Pu Tiancheng let Ma Xiaolin get into the car, and then drove towards the Lishui Bridge.On the west side of the Lishui Bridge, there is a restaurant called Lion House. Yu Chuanqing invited Pu Tiancheng to eat a few times. The environment inside is good. The most important thing is that the owner is an old friend of Yu Chuanqing, and Yu Chuanqing did not hide with Pu Tiancheng. Tucked away, Pu Tiancheng is very clear about his relationship with the proprietress Jiang Hailing.Yu Chuanqing also specially told Jiang Hailing that if Putiancheng came one day, he must give him a warm welcome.Pu Tiancheng was thinking about the place in the car just now, and for some reason Jiang Hailing's beautiful and refined face suddenly appeared in his mind.
This kind of place is safe to talk about.
When they arrived at the Lion Tower, Jiang Hailing was very enthusiastic. While opening a private room, she laughed and said that she hadn't seen the Secretary-General for a long time.Pu Tiancheng reluctantly exchanged some pleasantries with her, and said, "Today, I will borrow your place to talk about something. The food should be simple, and the waiter should not disturb you." Jiang Hailing knew what was going on when she saw Pu Tiancheng's face, and hurriedly said : "Don't worry, Secretary-General, I'll deliver the food when it's ready."
Just as Jiang Hailing left, Putian Chengcheng asked, "What's going on?"
Ma Xiaolin said in a panic, "Su Run has opened his mouth, and he has bitten out several people."
"Really?" Pu Tiancheng felt a heavy sound in his heart, and stared at Ma Xiaolin in disbelief. This is not good news.
"It's absolutely true. It was Warden Niu who told me, and he was also in a hurry."
The warden Niu is called Niu Ruhu, and he is the deputy warden of Jidong No. 1 Prison.This person can't talk nonsense, Pu Tiancheng's brows tightened even more.After a while, he asked again: "Who was bitten?"
"You, me, and... and Secretary Hanlin."
"What?!" Pu Tiancheng jumped up from the sofa in shock, "What's the matter with Secretary Hanlin?!"
Ma Xiaolin was also taken aback by Pu Tiancheng's reaction, and stammered: "I heard from Prison Niu that Su Run mentioned one thing in the materials he wrote to Wang Huazhong and the others, saying that Cement was a woman named Hua Yujiao." which provided."
"Playing the piano randomly, there is no such person in the world!" Pu Tiancheng threw the cup in his hand angrily, and after a sharp crack, he realized his gaffe, and said to Ma Xiaolin, "Clean it up."
Ma Xiaolin wanted to open the door to call the waiter, but Pu Tiancheng scolded viciously: "What's a waiter called for a cup, you don't have long hands?!"
Ma Xiaolin glanced at the private room. There were really no tools in the private room, so he picked up a tablecloth and silently cleaned up the debris.
Pu Tiancheng sat there with a black and blue face, dazed.After Ma Xiaolin cleaned up the broken glass, he seemed to have an idea in his mind.He patted the sofa and said, "Sit down." Ma Xiaolin didn't dare to sit down, but felt that standing was inappropriate, so he bravely sat down beside Pu Tiancheng.
"Xiao Lin, it's not just me, Pu Tiancheng, who is acting as the deputy secretary in Jidong. Secretary Hanlin has asked about you several times, and he has high hopes for you."
Ma Xiaolin said tremblingly: "I know this, thank the Secretary-General for his cultivation for many years."
"No, you should thank Secretary Hanlin, without Secretary Hanlin, in Haidong, there is no place for you and me."
"Secretary-General, if you have anything to say, just tell me, I know it well." Ma Xiaolin seemed to be less panicked.At a time like this, panic would spoil things, he kept reminding himself.
Pu Tiancheng paused for a while, and said: "Su Run should not do this. He can bite me, but how can he bite Secretary Hanlin? He bought the cement at a low price from others, and half of it was shoddy. It has been expired and scrapped. Now he wants to shirk his responsibility and make up a Hua Yujiao out of nothing, which is incredible. But the black is not white, Xiaolin, you go back immediately, tell Comrade Ruhu, let him get a copy of the material immediately In it, the fact that Wang Huazhong and the others used improper means to coerce and lure Su Run should be clearly stated. Remember, the clearer the better, the better. After the materials are written, let him send them to Deputy Director Wang of the Provincial Department as soon as possible .”
"Secretary-General, don't worry. Warden Niu has a lot of opinions on Wang Huazhong and the others. Warden Ding Maosheng did this without telling him, and the city bureau didn't know about it. I asked him to report the details to the provincial department."
"Try to control this matter as much as possible. The fewer people who know about it, the better. Do you understand what I mean?"
Ma Xiaolin nodded heavily.
At this point, Ma Xiaolin should have left. The meal didn't belong to him, and he couldn't eat it.But he suddenly remembered another thing, raised his buttocks and sat down again, looking at Pu Tiancheng clearly, "Secretary-General, there is something else I want to report to you."
"Let's talk. You don't have to talk so much when you talk in the future. Just talk directly."
Ma Xiaolin hummed again, subconsciously wiped off his sweat, and said in a trembling voice, "I heard from Comrade Ruhu that Su Run even confessed to Tianbiao..."
Pu Tiancheng seemed to have expected this result a long time ago, his clenched fists were clenched even tighter, and a sound could be heard faintly.The sound was so frightening in the air-conditioned private room.Ma Xiaolin didn't dare to continue talking, his eyes flickered on Pu Tiancheng's face, and finally retracted pitifully.
Pu Tiancheng laughed out loud suddenly, and the air in the private room was startled by his laughter, as if there was a whistling wind.He stopped laughing halfway, and stared at Ma Xiaolin horribly, "Xiaolin, remember, people go crazy when they are at the end of the road. Wang Huazhong went crazy, Su Run went crazy, and Xu followed suit. Crazy. At this time, we have to prepare a medicine for them in time, and I, Pu Tiancheng, will prescribe it for them personally!"
Ma Xiaolin was horrified when he heard that, he had never seen the Secretary-General of Putianchengpu speak in such a bloody tone.He thought to himself, Pu Tiancheng is crazy too.
Pu Tiancheng explained a few more words to Ma Xiaolin, Ma Xiaolin was half confident and half uncertain, and he didn't dare to stay any longer.If he stays any longer, he will go crazy too.Pu Tiancheng didn't keep him, got up and said: "It's better to go back earlier, you are the deputy secretary, it's not good to leave your post casually. Remember, you must have a legitimate reason for coming to the provincial capital in the future."
Ma Xiaolin quickly left the Lion House as if he had received an amnesty.After less than two minutes, Pu Tiancheng's figure also disappeared.When Jiang Hailing came in with the medicinal food, there was nothing in the private room except the smell of gunpowder.
On the third day after Ma Xiaolin left Haizhou, Putiancheng got the news that Deputy Director Wang of the Provincial Public Security Bureau brought a working group to Jidong.Later, he heard the news that Ding Maosheng, the warden of Jidong No. 1 Prison, had been suspended.On this day, he accompanied Secretary Hanlin to inspect Haizhou. Secretary Hanlin was in a good mood, as were the party secretary and mayor of Haizhou who were traveling with him.In the newly completed gymnasium in Haizhou, Secretary Hanlin delivered an impassioned speech, and spoke highly of the great achievements of Haizhou's sports industry over the years.After Secretary Hanlin finished speaking, there was warm applause in the gymnasium.Then, the group went to the tennis court.That day the tennis hall was open to the public normally, and when Pu Tiancheng and the others arrived, there happened to be a pair of foreign students playing tennis.The secretary of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee who was walking in front turned around and said with a smile to Secretary Hanlin: "I have heard that the secretary is an expert in tennis, do you want to play a game with them?" Secretary Hanlin laughed, "It's been a long time I hit it, and my hand is raw." The leader who followed was enthusiastic and encouraged, and asked Secretary Hanlin to play a few balls with the foreign students.Secretary Hanlin didn't refuse, rubbed his hands together and said, "Okay, let's make a fool of myself." Pu Tiancheng quickly got busy, and after a while, Secretary Hanlin walked into the hall wearing a sports suit.Pu Tiancheng followed carefully and waited for Secretary Hanlin to reach the edge of the field before handing over the racket with both hands.Secretary Hanlin smiled, "Life lies in sports, Tiancheng, you have to learn to play ball in the future." Pu Tiancheng said: "Let me feast my eyes on today, and I will definitely worship the secretary as my teacher someday." Secretary Hanlin laughed loudly , Fight against the female foreign students.
More than 20 reporters rushed forward with their cameras on their shoulders, and the spotlights kept flickering.Pu Tiancheng stood in front of the reporters, reminding the reporters not to stand too far in front, which would affect the secretary's play.Secretary Hanlin walked vigorously and reacted quickly, and he didn't look like a man who was almost sixty years old. There were applause from the sidelines.Pu Tiancheng watched quietly for a few minutes, and suddenly thought, how could such a vigorous person be easily knocked down by others?Thinking of this, he seemed to get a sudden boost of energy, and he also yelled: "Good shot!" This yell seemed to excrete the depression accumulated in his heart for several days.Later, he took advantage of the female student's time to pick up the ball and sent a towel to Secretary Hanlin.Secretary Hanlin wiped his sweat and said, "We can call for it to create a sports craze among the cadres." Pu Tiancheng wrote down these words, and he thought that the next step would be to organize a tennis competition for civil servants in the whole province. .
After the impromptu performance, Secretary Hanlin took a group photo with the two international students.Secretary Hanlin briefly asked them about their study and life, and wished them greater success in China.The female international student wanted to hug Secretary Hanlin, but Pu Tiancheng hurriedly stopped it. On the other side, Yu Chuanqing also stopped the reporter from taking pictures.Seeing this, Secretary Hanlin said with a smile: "There is no need to hug, let's shake hands according to the tradition of our Chinese nation."
So shake hands.The spotlight flashed again.
On the next day's newspaper, the headline on the front page was the news about Secretary Hanlin playing basketball.Even though the photo was reviewed by Pu Tiancheng that night, and now holding the newspaper, Pu Tiancheng admitted that Secretary Hanlin was charming and energetic.After admiring it for a while, he got up and went to Secretary Hanlin's office.Pu Tiancheng still didn't take the elevator, but took the stairs from the eighth floor to the twelfth floor.Pu Tiancheng was delighted to see that comrades from various ministries and commissions were scrambling to read the newspapers and making enthusiastic discussions.He felt more and more relaxed, and the shadow that Ma Xiaolin brought to him a few days ago was completely gone.
When Pu Tiancheng entered, Secretary Hanlin was also reading a newspaper, and Secretary Dong Wu was standing beside him.Pu Tiancheng said: "The secretary is satisfied, it would be better if the light is more sufficient." Secretary Hanlin said with a smile: "Tiancheng, looking at this photo, I suddenly feel a few years younger." Pu Tiancheng continued He said: "The secretary is already young, and his vigor is far higher than ours." Secretary Hanlin was not modest, and said: "That's true. Tian Cheng, don't be lethargic in the future, cheer up." Pu Tiancheng smiled, He didn't speak. It's hard to say such words, so he can only answer with a smile.
After chatting around the newspaper for a while, Secretary Hanlin suddenly said: "By the way, Tian Cheng, I talked to Ruoxuan about my thoughts that day, but she was still not happy. Didn't she criticize me when she returned home?"
Pu Tiancheng said: "How dare you criticize the secretary, she is just stubborn."
As soon as Dong Wu heard the two leaders talk about business, he closed the door and went out.Pu Tiancheng said: "I'm really sorry that she always troubles you." Actually Qiao Ruoxuan returned home that day and didn't say anything to Pu Tiancheng.Pu Tiancheng knew that she was looking for Secretary Hanlin, but he didn't point out.He was in such a bad mood that day that he couldn't be interested in anything else.Moreover, every time Qiao Ruoxuan went to see Secretary Hanlin alone, Pu Tiancheng pretended not to know and didn't ask afterward. This was a principle between their husband and wife.
"You Tian Cheng also said such modest words, shouldn't you. But Tian Cheng, if Ruoxuan stays in Guanghuai, there may be something wrong. I've been thinking recently, should I let her go to a relatively relaxed place, lesbian, It's too noisy."
The word "nao" is used very knowledgeably. You can understand that Guanghuai is too noisy, or that Qiao Ruoxuan is too noisy. Pu Tiancheng prefers the latter.He once again understood that Qiao Ruoxuan's mission in Guanghuai was coming to an end, and perhaps her career in politics would also come to an end.
After returning from Secretary Hanlin's office, Pu Tiancheng thought over and over again, where is the relatively relaxed place that Secretary Hanlin mentioned?After thinking about it, he suddenly understood.
Provincial party school!
Yu Shilun's entry into the political research office made progress quickly. Putiancheng was revising a report in the office, and He Ping, the head of the organization, came in.Putiancheng got up quickly and said, "Minister, why are you here?" He Ping came from the Beijing Department when the Central Committee adjusted the Haidong team. He worked in Tibet when he was twelve, and later went to Qinghai. At forty-two, he was a deputy ministerial cadre.Among Haidong's current members of the Standing Committee, he has the highest education, a Ph.D. in political science.He Ping is modest and low-key, and his words and deeds reveal good self-cultivation.
He Ping said: "There is something I want to touch with the Secretary-General."
Pu Tiancheng hurried over from the table and invited He Ping to sit down.While sitting, He Ping said: "The Secretary-General is a busy person, so I won't bother you?" I don’t drink anymore, I just drank it in the office, and my stomach can almost raise fish.” Putiancheng said: “I have Tieguanyin just sent by a friend here, please taste it.” He Ping joked: “The Secretary-General’s tea Naturally, it is good tea, and I smelled the fragrance of tea in the corridor just now." When the Standing Committee members meet, they always make a fuss about tea and talk about tea-related topics.People who don't understand think that all members of the Standing Committee are experts in tea tasting, but they are not. It is difficult to talk about other topics, and they can't talk about it openly.Most of the members of the Standing Committee do not smoke, so in order to resolve the embarrassment after meeting, they can only make a fuss about tea.There are several kinds of tea in the office of almost every standing committee member.Different guests come, and different teas are served.What Pu Tiancheng took out was the Tieguanyin tea that the Nanhuai Municipal Party Committee Secretary had asked the driver to bring over last weekend. According to Pu Tiancheng's judgment, the tea was at least 3,000 yuan per catty.
He Ping took a sip and exclaimed: "It really is good tea, the secretary-general's taste is just extraordinary."
Putiancheng laughed and said: "My friend is addicted to tea, so he should give you a good gift." The two exchanged some pleasantries, and He Ping brought up the topic: "A comrade came to the Political Research Office and wanted to ask the Secretary-General for his opinion. "
Putiancheng pretended to be surprised and said: "Really?" Then he said: "The director of the Political Research Office has been vacant all the time, which has a great impact on our work. This seat must not be vacant anymore, otherwise the work will be very difficult." He Ping said: "We are also anxious, but we can't find a suitable candidate. Recently, someone recommended Comrade Yu Shilun, the vice president of the party school. I wonder if the secretary-general knows this comrade?"
Pu Tiancheng pondered for a while: "Shi Lun, why did you forget him? Yes, when you said it, I suddenly felt that he is the most suitable for this position. He has a high level of theory and rigorous work, so I'm afraid he himself would not like it." .”
He Ping smiled, "It seems that the secretary-general knows him well."
Pu Tiancheng said: "I don't know too much, but it is profound. I have listened to his lectures, and I am very accomplished in theory. The political research office is short of such experts." Putiancheng did not blush at all when he said these words. It's natural, in fact, he never listened to Yu Shilun's class.But judging from his tone, it seems that he admires Yu Shilun very much.
"That's good. Since the secretary-general has no objections, we'll talk to him, and hope he can obey the organization's arrangements." He Ping stood up as he spoke, and he only took a sip of the cup of freshly brewed tea.Sending He Ping into the elevator, Pu Tiancheng thought, the next step would be He Ping's turn to talk to Qiao Ruoxuan.Thinking of the position of vice principal of the party school, Pu Tiancheng also shook his head.
But which position a person is suitable for is not up to you. It depends on which position the leader thinks you are in.It may be a new fit to transfer Qiao Ruoxuan, who is not suitable to be the vice principal, to the party school.Pu Tiancheng admitted that letting Qiao Ruoxuan go to the party school was tantamount to torturing her and wronging her. He couldn't help feeling sad for his wife.
The next night, Liao Changping, the executive vice president of Haidong School of Administration, found Putiancheng's house.The dean of the School of Administration is currently held concurrently by Executive Vice Governor Zhou Guoping, and Liao Changping only joined the School of Administration during the last adjustment.When Putiancheng was the secretary-general of the provincial government, Liao Changping was the deputy secretary-general.Liao Changping must have heard the wind, and said as soon as he entered the door: "It's not fair, Secretary General, it's really unfair. What's wrong with me, Liao Changping, I'm also more senior than Yu Shilun, right?"
Just as Pu Tiancheng turned on the TV, the nanny Lu Xiaohui was also in the living room, and she opened the door for Liao Changping.Pu Tiancheng glanced at Lu Xiaohui, and said, "Go and get some fruit." Liao Changping refused to eat it, but Pu Tiancheng lowered his face, and said in a reproachful tone, "What kind of wild is it to catch wind and shadows?" Liao Changping said strange things in front of Pu Tiancheng He was used to it, and never thought about it. Of course, he didn't know Lu Xiaohui's identity, so he thought she was a relative of the Putian family.
Liao Changping wanted to complain at first, but seeing Pu Tiancheng's abnormal expression, he didn't dare to complain, but when he looked at Lu Xiaohui again, he understood.Lu Xiaohui was very discerning, brought fruit neatly, made tea, and went to the bedroom.
Only then did Pu Tiancheng say: "How can there be so many complaints, and you post them wherever you go, is it plausible?!"
Liao Changping smiled smugly, "Isn't he having some thoughts in his heart?"
Pu Tiancheng snapped a sentence: "I still have an idea." Pushing the fruit plate in front of Liao Changping, he asked, "Have you heard about it?"
Liao Changping lowered his head sadly: "I heard that, but I didn't expect it to be him."
Liao Changping had been thinking about this position for a long time. When he was asked to go to the School of Administration, he asked the organization department if he could go to the Political Research Office of the Provincial Party Committee.Chen Jianghua, the deputy director who was in charge of the work at the time, said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Even the Organization Department can't decide on the candidate for this position. You should feel at ease to be the principal." The heart is very heavy. The former director, Lao Qu, has left the post for more than half a year. It is a miracle that other positions have been vacant for two to three months. It is unexpected that the position of the director of the Political Research Office has been vacant for such a long time.
"There are many unexpected things, and I will think about it slowly in the future." Pu Tiancheng said emotionally.
Liao Changping was still unconvinced, lit a cigarette, and took a deep puff, "I found out, there is someone in Beijing named Yu, I heard..."
"I heard about it, I heard about it all the time! I said Changping, whether you are doing work or intelligence, I see you go to the Security Bureau."
Liao Changping was beaten, and he couldn't hold back his face. In fact, he was only talking about these words here at Pu Tiancheng, and he would never dare to talk nonsense outside.One of his contacts in Beijing said that Yu Shilun had a very reliable relationship in a key department of the central government.The higher-ups must have greeted Secretary Hanlin, otherwise, Secretary Hanlin would not have noticed a vice-principal of the party school.Seeing Liao Changping's embarrassment, Pu Tiancheng also felt that his tone was too aggressive, so he softened his tone and said, "Changping, you have been working in the provincial government for not a day or two. You should know the organizational principles. You shouldn't inquire about it. Don't inquire about it." " Liao Changping heard the implication, and said with a smile: "I will remember what the Secretary-General said."
"Just memorizing is not enough, it has to be put into action. I still say that, no matter what position you are assigned to, you must do your job well. I heard that you are a little distracted now. It's not good. Don't worry about it Looking at the height of the mountain, many things come step by step, if one step is not solid, every step is not solid.”
When Liao Changping heard that Pu Tiancheng was pointing at his weakness again, he said guiltily, "Why, there won't be any opinions from above?"
"What do you think?" Pu Tiancheng gave Liao Changping an ambiguous answer, then got up and paced in the living room.Liao Changping's face turned blue and pale, he came here to complain, but this time, Pu Tiancheng hit the weakest nerve in his heart with a single sentence.After Liao Changping arrived at the School of Administration, he really didn't care much about his work. All he thought about was when he could go to the provincial party committee compound, under the eyes of the main leaders, and do some work that the leaders could see and hear .He is really not in the mood to do a job like the School of Administration that does not thunder or rain.When Pu Tiancheng said this, he immediately regretted it. If the higher-ups had opinions because of this, it would be too inappropriate. It's not that he, Liao Changping, doesn't know how to do work.
After a long time, Liao Changping said in a consulting tone: "I want to do it, but I'm not familiar with the college's stall. Besides, right now we are focusing on the economy and focusing on various hard indicators. The college just wants to develop Some work, no one below pays attention to it.”
Pu Tiancheng stopped, after all, he and Liao Changping have been in a relationship for many years.This person is good in nature, but he has the problem of being flashy. He always thinks that he is doing great things, and he feels wronged wherever he is placed.
What is an opportunity? An opportunity is that ray of light that suddenly flashes out when you are groping and crawling, and it is the single-plank bridge that you suddenly found while searching hard, and it is definitely not a pie in the sky.After the rain, the rainbow can only appear after the rain. The mountains and rivers are full of doubts and there is no way out.If you want to omit the former, then what appears later can only be a mirage, an illusion.
"Unfamiliarity is not an excuse, and it is your excuse to not pay attention to it below. Your problems are still the same as before, and you are always fantasizing. Changping, at this age, you should be steadfast. If you are not steadfast, will there be opportunities in the future?"
Liao Changping nodded earnestly. There is a great advantage in this person's personality, that is, he will humbly accept criticism from others, especially Pu Tiancheng's criticism.When the two were in the provincial government, Liao Changping was often criticized by Pu Tiancheng, but the more he criticized, the closer the relationship between the two became.Only in front of Liao Changping, Pu Tiancheng was willing to tell the truth and speak from the bottom of his heart.
This kind of words cannot be said easily, because it is easy to hurt others.Few people in the world are willing to listen to criticism, let alone people in the officialdom.Flattery every day, maybe he will treat you as an enemy.If you are always picky, I am afraid that you will be regarded as a political enemy long ago.Fortunately, Liao Changping was not that kind of person. He was the most straightforward and transparent among the few friends that Pu Tiancheng had. Sometimes Pu Tiancheng used him as a mirror.It's a pity that such a mirror in front of him still can't make his heart clear.Maybe, he won't be able to see through in his life.A person whose heart has been painted with color will still have shadows no matter how they are photographed.Moving forward with a shadow on your back, this is Pu Tiancheng.
Putiancheng sighed, and said to Liao Changping: "At present, the provincial party committee and the provincial government are trying their best to fight a tough battle for industrial enterprises. Why don't your college use their brains in this regard?"
"You mean?" Liao Changping, who was gloomy just now, became interested.
"The academy serves the government's work. You know the truth. You can't think of such an idea as training around the government's central work?"
Liao Changping suddenly realized, "Fools are afraid of dialing. I'm good at your dialing." After Liao Changping finished speaking, he laughed happily.His smile infected Pu Tiancheng, and Pu Tiancheng relaxed a lot.From the bottom of his heart, he was very willing to let Liao Changping go to the political research office. Liao Changping was very strict with the materials. In the past, Liao Changping mainly checked the materials or documents from the government.In addition, at any time, there must be someone to talk to. Putiancheng is full of words now, and there is no one to talk to.
That kind of taste is not good.
But now that Secretary Hanlin has a candidate, he must respect reality.Not only to respect reality, but also to completely strangle this idea.Pu Tiancheng gave Liao Changping a trick, asking him to focus on training, which is another way to help Liao Changping strangle this idea to death.
There are always opportunities, and Pu Tiancheng firmly believes in this!
The two of them drank a catty of Moutai that night.Pu Tiancheng seldom drank, but this evening, he wanted to.
The provincial party committee quickly convened a standing committee to discuss and approve the appointment of Yu Shilun.On the day when Yu Shilun took office, it rained heavily in Haizhou, which lasted from morning to night.Originally, Putiancheng arranged a few tables of meals and wanted to welcome Yu Shilun, but at four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Guoping, the executive vice governor, suddenly called and said that he would have dinner with comrades from Dahua in the evening, and they needed to meet in some cases.Putiancheng knew that Zhou Guoping's operation had begun.
Putiancheng rushed to the Victory Hotel, but Vice Governor Guoping hadn't arrived yet, but Yu Chuanqing did.Along with Yu Chuanqing were Deputy Secretary-General Cao of the government, Deputy Director Gong of the General Office, and several others.We were all acquaintances, Deputy Director Gong and Qiao Ruoxuan worked together, Pu Tiancheng greeted them one by one, and went to the restaurant.Because of the lack of higher-level leaders, Putiancheng became the leader of this group of people and was warmly received by everyone. Putiancheng readily accepted the compliments and praises from Deputy Director Gong and the others.This is the case in the officialdom. Every occasion, there are different compliments and praises. Although the content is similar, the way of expression is very different.Deputy Director Gong specifically mentioned that he was very inspired by reading an article written by Pu Tiancheng in the magazine "Theory" a few days ago. "It's a high-rise, the secretary-general is really like everyone." Putiancheng smiled. As the highest think tank in a province, he publishes some articles in several authoritative magazines in the central and provincial authorities every year. Some of these articles are about Haidong. Economic and social development and prosperity, some talk about the cultivation and sentiment of leading cadres.In the article mentioned by Deputy Director Gong, Putiancheng talked about the construction of the style of leading cadres. In the middle, he mentioned two major corruption cases that occurred in the country recently.Of course, Putiancheng focused on how to implement the important speech delivered by the general secretary at the seventh meeting of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on the construction of leading cadres' style of work. In response to the general secretary's proposal to advocate the formation of a good atmosphere in eight aspects among leading cadres, establish eight aspects. Honor and Eight Disgraces, and talked about my feelings.This is a responsive article. Secretary Hanlin also gave a very high evaluation to this article, and said that he would organize study at the provincial party committee central group study meeting.Pu Tiancheng does not think that his articles are well written, the key is to show his attitude in a timely manner. Sometimes whether he can express his attitude in time is also a kind of self-cultivation of leading cadres, and it is even more an art.
The environment of the Victory Hotel is not much different from that of Taoyuan. The layout and greenery are even more beautiful than Taoyuan, but because it is owned by the government, it is not as famous as Taoyuan.Today's meal is arranged in the Huaihai Hall.When they arrived at the Huaihai Hall, Pu Tiancheng unexpectedly discovered that it was Yu Qing who was serving them.Pu Tiancheng was surprised, and Yu Chuanqing was the same.余晴没认出普天成，但认出了于川庆，彬彬有礼地问了句“首长好”，就专心致志做自己的工作去了。普天成盯着余晴看了一会儿，脑子里忽就闪出金嫚那张脸来。前些天金嫚跟他打过一个电话，说自己不想跟丈夫过了，要离婚。普天成下意识地就阻止，说不能离。金嫚笑说：“你慌什么啊，又不是因为你。”这句话让普天成好不尴尬。是啊，他慌什么，金嫚从来没说要嫁给他，也从没流露出要缠着他不放的意思，这点让普天成深感欣慰。有多少人毁在了女人上，起初抱着投机的心理想玩一玩，结果引火烧身，一辈子都不得安宁。普天成算是幸运，截止目前，还没被哪个女人抓住不放。跟他关系最密的金嫚，也在他离开吉东时嫁了人。金嫚的丈夫是一名普通工人，后来普天成听说，他们常打架，夫妻关系很不好，到现在也没要孩子。所有这些，都像辣椒水一样时不时地要辣一下普天成。普天成知道，金嫚现在的不幸福，是他一手造成的。
某种程度上，是他毁了金嫚。
于川庆见他走神，悄声提醒道：“等一会儿秋燕妮也要来，她可是常常念叨你呢。”
“是么？”普天成从余晴身上收回目光，又从脑子里把金嫚驱走，装作诧异地问了于川庆一句。于川庆别有意味地一笑，“有人望穿秋水，有人浑然不觉，这世道，越来越缺少默契了。”
“乱说。”普天成及时地制止住于川庆，只要有第三者在场，普天成就不跟于川庆开玩笑，这也是他的原则之一。他转向曹副秘书长，“你老父亲的病好点没？”曹副秘书长受宠若惊，他父亲几个月前心肌缺血，住过一次院，普天成特地到医院探望过，曹副秘书长对此感激在心，今天听普天成再次问起，就越发感动得不行。他站起身，就像学生回答老师提问一样，毕恭毕敬地答道：“谢谢秘书长关心，老父亲算是挺过来了，现在精神状况还行。”
“那就好，人老了，不要只想着吃药，还要适当增加活动量。另外，保持心情愉快也很重要。”曹副秘书长马上点头，“秘书长说得对，他现在天天到公园散步呢，还跟一帮老头老太太学太极拳。前段日子有个老太太劝他养条狗，这些天正吵着让我买狗呢。”
“那好啊，让他有个寄托。大家都忙，平日没时间照顾老人，老人寂寞，养条狗正好可以把寂寞打发掉。”
“那好，我明天就去给他买。”
聊完曹副秘书长的父亲，话题又转到巩副主任的老岳母上。普天成在政府的时候，这些人都在他手下，他们家里有啥事，谁家有老人，谁家老人患啥病，普天成都记得很清楚。逢年过节，后勤办要分东西，普天成总要叮嘱一番，有老人的给多分一份。尽管这些人都不缺那点东西，但这么一做，情感上就不一样了。有人说他在政府里威信比副省长都高，不是说他权大，而是说他心长。
心长则路也长，这是普天成的认识。
正说着话，外面响起了车子的声音，于川庆说了声“来了”，大家齐刷刷地起身，往外面去。出门时巩副主任步子走得快了些，差点先普天成走出大厅。意识到犯了错误，他猛地止住步，侧身等普天成和于川庆先走。他发现，于川庆脸上，已暗暗露出不快来。
下级任何时候都不能抢上级的彩，这是铁的规律。谁犯了，哪怕是无意，也是自己跟自己过不去。
普天成伸出双手，热情地跟国平副省长握过手，然后又跟大华的领导一一握手，同时做出恭请的样子，请他们往里进。轮到秋燕妮时，他的手似乎犹豫了一下，秋燕妮冲他深情一笑，伸出手来，“想不到在这儿遇见秘书长，幸会，幸会。”普天成没敢正视秋燕妮，他怕秋燕妮不分场合露出那火辣辣的目光来。香港女人跟内地女人不一样，她们喜欢把内心的东西表露在脸上。
普天成和于川庆热情迎客的过程中，巩副主任和曹副秘书长拘谨地站在一边，脸上挂着不太自然的笑。他们是没有资格走上来跟领导和贵宾一一握手的，只能站在远处，用微笑欢迎。周副省长也只是跟他们简单地点点头，然后就在大华几位高层的簇拥下进去了。普天成又抢在前面，等副省长的步子到达淮海厅时，他跟于川庆已一左一右站在了门边。
主客一一落座。普天成本想坐得离周国平远一些，坐领导身边是一件十分痛苦的事。不知道别人有没有类似的感受，普天成觉得是这样。每次吃饭，他都会想办法让自己离领导远一点儿，这跟工作当中正好相反。不料周国平拍拍身边的椅子说：“老普，坐这儿，咱们说话方便。”普天成只好坐过去。周国平左边是大华香港总部瑞德先生，英国人，很年轻，四十岁不到，讲一口流利的汉语。右边，就是普天成了，普天成右边，居然坐了秋燕妮。好似无意，其实有心，普天成有几分不安，心里又有一点点惬意。跟秋燕妮认识这么长时间，两人还从没如此近距离坐过。饭菜是提前准备好的，国平副省长说，吃过就撤，晚上他还有个活动，要到一所大学去演讲。凉菜上齐后，国平副省长讲了几句话，意思是感谢瑞德先生和助手劳尔小姐来到海州，共同为大华海东出谋划策，也感谢大华集团副董事长兼海东办事处主任燕妮小姐，大华海东前段时间运行得不是太好，主要原因不在大华，在海东方面。是海东方面没把基础性工作做好，延误了项目进度。对此，省里已做了调整，相信以后，这样的事不会再发生。国平副省长还代表省委、省府向大华方面表了态。国平副省长表完态，端起红酒杯，一饮而尽，说这杯酒就算是对前一段工作的总结，从今天起，大华海东会驶上快车道。他的举动赢来一片掌声，是川庆秘书长带头鼓的掌。接着，瑞德先生也代表大华总部表了态，他说前段时间工作不理想，关键原因还在大华身上，大华资金不到位，影响了职工安置。他也喝了一杯，表示道歉。瑞德先生接着强调，本周内，将有三千万到账，可以用于职工安置，以后每半月到账三千万，直到把答应的款全部付清。瑞德先生说这些的时候，普天成心里想，周国平就是周国平，大华这些钱，也只有他能争取过来。如果换了别人，怕也只是一个数字，何年何月到账，只有鬼知道。感慨中，他投过去目光，见周国平的目光瞄在性感的劳尔小姐身上，他便慌忙把目光收回来了。
瑞德讲完，轮到秋燕妮了。秋燕妮端起酒杯，说：“燕妮嘴笨，这种场合，实在不敢多讲，不如以酒代之吧，按你们的话说，一切尽在酒中。我相信，大华跟海东的合作一定是愉快的，而且能双赢。”说完，仰起脖子，将满满一杯红酒喝了下去。兴许，这天的秋燕妮也有几分紧张，端着酒杯的手微微发抖，有几滴酒洒在她裸露的脖颈上。普天成看了，感觉那挂了酒珠的粉颈更为漂亮。
如果不是国平副省长晚上有事，这天是要放开喝一阵的。要论喝酒，今天来的巩副主任和曹副秘书长都是行家，陪一桌客人不在话下。秋燕妮喝过之后，国平副省长说，今天情况特殊，酒就不敬了，大家随意喝点。然后叮嘱于川庆，照顾好客人。普天成本来也是想敬杯酒的，一听国平副省长这样说，便打消了念头。
席间国平副省长提出了一件事，大华原来的协议是要安排一毛厂百分之二十的职工，大华认为这太高了，无法落实，当然，这与一毛厂职工的素质和文化程度也有关系。一毛厂职工素质普遍低，文化程度大都是初高中，小学也有不少，以前从事传统纺织业，劣势还显不出来，现在是高科技项目，文化程度的劣势一下就显了出来。大华提出，能不能降到百分之十，不能安排的这百分之十，由省上协调其他企业安排，大华可以拿出一部分钱来做补偿。周国平说完，桌上的人都不说话，全都垂下头，好像在思考。其实这样的问题是不用思考的，国平副省长借饭桌上把它讲出来，就是想给大家通通气，具体怎么做，他早就有了数。普天成也垂下了头，这是一种习惯，任何场合，遇到难以作答的问题，最好的方式就是垂下头，做思考状。普天成默默在算一笔账，降十个百分点，就意味着有五千职工没了着落，这五千职工，往哪里安排呢？见气氛有点冷场，周国平笑道：“老普，过去的协议是你谈的，你说说。”普天成抬起头，习惯性地环视了一圈，道：“既然大华有难处，这个问题可以协商。现在重要的不是职工安置，是项目进度，只要项目建得快，早一天见到效益，我们的期望值就早一天能实现。”
“川庆，你的意见呢？”周国平又将话头转给了于川庆。
于川庆刚夹了一块鱼，一听副省长点他的将，忙将鱼放下，道：“我认为天成秘书长说得有道理，毕竟这项目他最熟悉。”
“好，既然两位秘书长意见一致，我看这事可以商量，补偿不补偿我们先不提，先跟职工方面碰碰头。”说到这儿，他把目光投向普天成，脸上洋溢出一种热情的笑，“怎么样老普，这个难题还得交给你，谁让你办法比我们多呢。”
普天成这才明白，国平副省长今天请他来，摆的原是鸿门宴！他倒吸一口冷气，这话，跟工人实在说不出口啊，当初谈百分之二十，他已费尽了口舌，也背了一身骂名，现在再砍掉五千人，这简直……见国平副省长期待地看着他，普天成勉为其难地笑了笑，“试试吧，谈不下来省长可别批评我。”
“有你老普出面，还有什么谈不下来的？来，我敬你一杯！”说着，国平副省长率先举起了酒杯。普天成赶忙举杯，抢在国平副省长前面喝了下去。酒杯刚放下，余晴还没把酒斟满，这边又响起了秋燕妮的声音：“我也敬秘书长一杯，感谢秘书长对大华长期的支持与帮助，以后很多事，还离不开秘书长呢。”普天成想推辞，国平副省长帮腔道：“该敬，你们每人都应该敬秘书长一杯。”这下好了，矛头哗地对准到他身上，本来少了敬酒这道程序，吃饭的气氛就不热烈，现在大约是要谈的事定了音，大家心里都放松下来，国平副省长这一提议，于川庆他们立马响应，依次就给普天成敬酒。普天成喝了秋燕妮这杯，不喝别人的，实在说不过去，只好硬着头皮，跟他们一一碰杯。几杯下肚，普天成脑子就有些晕，再看秋燕妮，就有一种缥缥缈缈的虚幻感。
饭吃到中间，周国平一看表，说时间不早了，要提前走，让于川庆把大华的客人还有普天成招待好。于川庆要一同去，周国平说不用，那边还有人。于川庆便知道，国平副省长的专职秘书长在恭候，便也不再客气，跟普天成一道将国平副省长送上车。瑞德先生和劳尔小姐也要走，于川庆挽留了一阵，见人家态度坚决，便不再挽留，悄声跟普天成说：“事情解决了，他们就想溜人，也好，咱们好好喝。”普天成心里骂：解决，你说解决就解决了啊？他硬着头皮跟瑞德先生和劳尔小姐道了晚安，转身往里走，走一半，忽然停下，秋燕妮为什么不走？
有些事想着难，解决起来，也未必就真难。普天成跟郑斌源他们谈了两次，没想到，事情解决了。
郑斌源叫来的十多个职工代表居然对削减百分之十这个数字不感兴趣，这让普天成甚为惊讶。他原想，只要自己把大华那边的意思讲出来，工人代表一准会暴跳如雷地攻击他，没成想，带头的那个叫陈亮亮的职工代表温和地笑了笑，“领导，你说啥就是啥，百分之几对我们来说，当不了饭吃，我们也没指望进那个厂，你还是抓紧把十二条落实了，再不落实，工人堵到省政府门上，可别怪我们没做工作。”普天成盯着陈亮亮，“不是最近又落实了三条么，不能太心急，得一步步来。”“那你们怎么不一步步来，非要急着开工呢？”陈亮亮反问道。这话把普天成问住了，普天成回过目光，想从郑斌源那儿寻求帮助。郑斌源不知啥时已离开会议室，他把话说得明白，人他可以叫，具体怎么谈，是普天成的事，他不管，也管不着。
普天成又跟陈亮亮他们僵持了一会儿，陈亮亮见他也是认真解决问题来的，不那么刁难他了，但也绝没对他抱希望。希望这东西，抱几次抱不到，便也不敢硬抱。陈亮亮说：“领导，你也别痛苦了，你一痛苦，我们当老百姓的就不知道是该笑还是该哭了。这么着吧，我可以保证职工不闹事，但政府答应的条件，也麻烦你给催着落实一下，工人确实不容易，再不要拿我们当猴耍了。”普天成马上保证：“凡是答应了的，我们保证做到，职工能体谅政府的难处，我们很感谢，我代表省委、省政府再次谢谢你们。”这时候就有一个中年男人怪声怪气地说：“政府也有难处啊，我还是头一次听说，不会是钱花光了吧，再卖几块地皮不就有了？”普天成没敢接中年男人的话茬，这种牢骚话、怪话他听得太多了，早已到了充耳不闻的境界。
普天成没敢在会议室久留，见好就收地脱身出来，给郑斌源打电话，问他在哪。郑斌源慢条斯理道：“我在家睡觉呢。”普天成赶到郑斌源家，他还有点不放心，跟工人的谈话太过顺利，令他不由得怀疑，他要再考实一番。
郑斌源并没睡觉，刚才他家里来了客人，是三毛厂原工会主席，来向郑斌源请教问题的。本来工人的积极性挺高，一直嚷着要跟大华对抗下去，绝不让大华顺利开工。但不知什么原因，最近几天工人的积极性突然没了，特别是原来挑头上访的那些人，最近连影子都找不到了。郑斌源心里说，还能有什么原因，有钱能使鬼推磨呗！据郑斌源了解，副省长周国平分管大华海东这一项目后，明着暗着采取了很多措施，一是破格拿出一千五百万，对一毛、三毛的特困户每家给予一万元的临时救助，同时又督促落实了他们的低保。这招效果奇佳，原来这批特困户是上访骨干，现在因为这一万元钱，他们倒向了政府这边。第二招是让海州两家大型企业临时吸纳了三千多名一毛、三毛的职工，这批人员的工资由企业支付一半，市政府补助一半，这就等于又把一部分力量瓦解了。更有效果的一招，海州市政府出台了专门政策，凡一毛、三毛职工，如果自己创业，开办小店由社区担保，银行一次性给予扶持贷款三万到五万，三年免收各种费用，凭下岗证到税务部门登记，可以享受三年免税政策。海宁区政府还在最大的两个市场海安路市场和海华路市场清理出铺面一千多个，让一毛、三毛的职工优先挑。这些措施，让原本就对上访不再抱希望的职工们一下看到了实惠。其实这些年，大大小小的企业改制，总要引起群众上访事件，但还是普天成说得对，上访是解决不了根本问题的，要想活下去，还得靠自己。
这些话郑斌源当然不可能跟三毛厂工会主席讲，这人是个一根筋，对上访怀着无比浓厚的兴趣。其实郑斌源也知道，这个工会主席上访最根本的目的，还是想叫政府安排自己。如果现在有人提出，马上给这个工会主席安排一份工作，让他继续拿工资，工会主席立刻就会跟工人说拜拜。对这种抱有私欲的人，郑斌源是看不上的。当然，对国平副省长以及海州市政府采取的这几项临时性措施，郑斌源还是由衷地高兴，因为不管怎么样，政府算是开始善待下岗职工了。
一听普天成要来，工会主席紧忙告辞走了。早在普天成跟工人谈判十二条时，工会主席跟普天成吵过架，还用粗话谩骂过普天成。
普天成一看郑斌源的脸色，就知道他在电话里撒了谎。不过郑斌源睡不睡觉并不是什么原则性的事，他说：“我是来感谢你的，没想到这次工人这么给我面子。”郑斌源挖苦道：“你秘书长出面，谁敢不给面子？”说着给普天成泡了茶。普天成接过茶，“不过斌源，我还是不放心，总感觉哪儿不对劲。”
郑斌源猜想，普天成并不了解真实情况，毕竟这事不归他直接管，他也没往透彻里说，有些话说穿了也没啥意思，大家还是含蓄点好。他说：“你应该高兴，回去又可以请功了。”
“欺负我啊，我是跑来虚心向你讨教的，你倒好，就知道说这种风凉话。哎，帮我分析分析，职工思想为啥转变得这么快？”普天成厚着脸皮道。
"Really want to know?"
“真想知道。”
“安抚政策，你们这次算是想通了。”
“什么意思？”普天成感觉郑斌源话里有话，追问道。
郑斌源不想再跟他打哑谜，将自己掌握的情况一一说了，取笑道：“拿国家的钱为大华扫清障碍，大华真有面子啊。”
普天成无语了。郑斌源说的这些，他还真不知道，这等于在十二条外，又多出好几条，国平副省长的力度也太大了点吧？不过转念又想，除此之外，还有更好的办法吗，似乎没有！
有时候，用牺牲的办法来解决矛盾，也不失为一种上策。其实这个世界上，每天都在牺牲着种种利益，有时是个人利益，有时是群体利益，更多的时候，牺牲的则是国家或集体的利益。普天成忽然就想起自己在吉东时发生的那起恶性事件，就是王化忠他们至今仍抓住不放的民工事件。工程施工中老板违章指挥，一个班十二名作业工人死于非命，为了平息事端，还不是用牺牲的办法来解决？最后每个工人赔付三十万，才将事态压下去。这三十万，有一半是政府出的钱！
看来“牺牲”两个字，是最直接也最有效的办法。
普天成苦笑一声，他是无权指责谁的，如果说这个世界有一条牺牲链的话，他就是这条链上的一个齿轮。好在，这一次的牺牲，受益者是下岗职工，比起把钱大把大把地挥霍或浪费掉，也算值。这么一想，他也就心安理得起来。
两人又斗了一阵嘴，普天成忽然说：“对了，有人高薪请你，给你留了总工的位子。”
郑斌源略微惊讶地抬了下眼，旋即又释然了，“你是说秋燕妮吧，那份美差留给你，我可不敢夺人之爱。”
“你什么意思？”普天成本能地问出一句。
“别紧张，秘书长的红颜知己，我可不敢夺。”郑斌源笑着说。
“老郑，这玩笑开不得。”普天成好像是让郑斌源说到了痛处，一时显得慌乱。
郑斌源却不在乎地说：“大华早就给我下了聘书，说实话，我对他们没有信心。工人所以对你的百分之十不感兴趣，说穿了，也是对这家企业不抱指望。”郑斌源把话题又带回到大华上，接着说：“不是我打击你们，你掰着指头算算，招商引资引来了多少企业，各种优惠政策都给了，结果呢，搞出名堂的有几家？说轻点你们这是一窝蜂，形式主义；说重点，是搬起石头砸自己的脚。”
普天成也来了兴趣，“此话怎讲？”
“把自己的孩子掐死，指着别人家的孩子养老，结果别人的树上永远结不出自己的果，花也没几朵。”
“你偏激。”
“偏激的不是我，恰恰是你们。国有传统老企业是有问题，但一味地关门拍卖，把好政策、好地段都让给外资，等于是自己刨自己的锅头。”
普天成一听他又上纲上线，将简单的问题复杂化，政治化，赶忙转移了话题，说：“上次跟你说的事考虑得怎么样了，我可一直等你消息呢。”
"What's up?"
“婚姻大事啊。人家邓雅兰差啥了，人长得漂亮不说，事业也比你干得红火。你们两个到一起，真是珠联璧合呢。”
郑斌源模棱两可地笑了笑，道：“退水沟的游戏还是你们玩儿吧，我郑斌源不感兴趣。”
一听“退水沟”三
