Chapter 5 Chapter Five: The Political Wisdom of the Official "Godfather"

Jin Man is here. I called in the morning, choked my throat, and said that I would come to Haizhou.Pu Tiancheng coaxed and persuaded her, saying that he was busy recently and really couldn't spare time to accompany her, so he asked her to persist for a while, and after he was busy, he went to see her in Jidong.Jin Man said unhappily: "You say you want to see me every day. It's been a long time, and I haven't seen your footsteps to Jidong. I can see clearly that you dislike me and don't want me anymore." Putian Cheng hurriedly said: "Xiao Man, don't think so, I swear to God, I will never leave you alone in this life." Jin Man smiled coldly: "What's the use of swearing, it's true to be able to see you." " Jin Man never spoke to Pu Tiancheng in such a tone. For so many years, she always listened to what Pu Tiancheng said, and rarely violated Pu Tiancheng's wishes.Pu Tiancheng had a question in his mind, he guessed that something must have happened to Jin Man, so he didn't dare to insist any longer, he could only nod his head and agree: "Well, come on, I'll book a room for you right away. "

Just like Yu Chuanqing owns the Lion House, Pu Tiancheng also has his own fixed place.The Baiyun Hotel, located in Jingshuifang, Xiguan Street, is a place where Pu Tiancheng often goes.In fact, many leaders in the province have such a secret place, where activities that are inconvenient to be arranged publicly and guests who are openly received must be arranged here.Of course, the Baiyun Hotel is different from the Lion House. The Lion House is opened by Jiang Hailing, who belongs to a confidante, but Bai Yushuang, the owner of the Baiyun Hotel, has no such relationship with Putiancheng.If there is a relationship to be involved, it is Guishan.What Pu Tiancheng sighed was that many fates in his life in this life were all related to Guishan.He started his political career in Guishan. If he hadn't been the county magistrate in Guishan back then, he wouldn't be where he is today.The two positions of county magistrate or county party secretary are the two most critical positions in the political arena.It is the lowest end of Chinese officials, and it is also the place where the souls of Chinese officials can really be baptized. Without the tempering of these two positions, it is difficult for you to make great achievements in politics.Guishan is also the place where Pu Tiancheng obtained treasures. The wonderful thing is that Jin Man is also from Guishan. She was born in a small village called Wangcun in Guishan County. Her parents are still in Guishan.He also met Bai Yushuang, the proprietress of Baiyun Hotel, in Guishan.Bai Yushuang is from Guishan. When Putiancheng was the secretary of the county party committee, Bai Yushuang was still in middle school. Later, Bai Yushuang's daughter inherited her father's business and followed her father to breed long-haired rabbits. At that time, Putiancheng was the mayor of Jidong. He inspected the work in the mountains and saw the innocent and lively Bai Yushuang at the farm. He also said to Bai Yushuang's father: "Such a beautiful daughter is ruined in the deep mountains. She should be allowed to study." Yushuang's father listened to his words. , sent Bai Yushuang out of Dashan to study hotel management at a vocational college in Haizhou.As a result, this reading revealed an entrepreneur.Bai Yushuang first worked in Haizhou Baiyun Hotel, then worked as a foreman, and later became the manager of the customer department.The Baiyun Hotel could not continue to operate for a while, and the market wanted to get rid of this burden, and introduced a reform plan. At that time, many people wanted to buy it through restructuring, and some of them were well-known entrepreneurs in the province.No one expected that as soon as the final results were announced, the little-known Bai Yushuang won the bid.Later, people knew that Bai Yushuang had a relative overseas. At the critical moment, her overseas aunt contributed a lot of money to support her. Now the management of Baiyun Hotel follows the overseas management model. Her aunt is the chairman, and Bai Yushuang It's the general manager.

It is said that the legend is in the officialdom, but in fact the real legend is always in the folk, the officialdom will always run step by step according to its unique procedures, and no one will create a legend. When Pu Tiancheng arrived at the Baiyun Hotel, Jin Man had already taken a nap, and the afternoon sun shone through the window curtain and sprinkled on the Persian carpet under her feet.Probably after arriving in Haizhou, Jin Man's mood improved a lot.She was lying lazily on the sofa, playing with a white-haired toy dog ​​in her hand.Her posture is a bit like a child, but in fact she is a child who has not grown up. Because of the big tree of Putiancheng, she avoided many winds and rains that she should have experienced, and her mind will always stay in the spring when she knew Putiancheng.That spring she met a dog, a pure white Chihuahua, which was abandoned by the owner in the alley called Zhuangyuan Lane in Jidong. Jin Man wanted to bring her back, but there was no place to keep her, so she had to send her away with tears in her eyes. people.After that, Jin Man began to like toy dogs, and she always had a pure white long-haired toy dog ​​by her side.Jin Man is 29 years old this year. The 29-year-old Jin Man looks much plumper than ten years ago. Her body wrapped in pajamas is plump and plump, like ripe corn, especially the pair of breasts, which seem to be more plump than just When I met Pu Tiancheng, she became much stronger and plump again. Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, wrapping around her bare neck and half of her pink-white chest. The body that had just been bathed exuded a faint fragrance.Hearing the doorbell ring, Jin Man jumped up from the sofa, ran over barefoot without putting on his slippers.She was so eager to see Pu Tiancheng, after all these years of separation, she had never missed and longed for him so anxiously as now.

The door opened, and Putiancheng was standing outside in all his clothes.Facing a woman who was many years younger than him, Pu Tiancheng felt strange every time. He looked Jin Man up and down, as if he encountered a problem he didn't understand and couldn't react for a while. Jin Man didn't care about this, a light flashed in her eyes, she called out to Brother Tian Cheng, pulled Pu Tiancheng over, kicked the door with her foot, and slipped into his arms. A wave hit Pu Tiancheng, flower wave, fragrance wave, Pu Tiancheng fought a battle, his body stiffened, and he let Jin Man play wild in his arms.Jin Man was like a rabbit nestling in Pu Tiancheng's arms.She put her arms around Pu Tiancheng's waist, first "touched" Pu Tiancheng's chest wildly, and let out a passionate and bright cry of joy.Then he held his face again, looked at it carefully for a while, and chuckled: "Bad brother, you miss me to death."

The sound of "bad brother" made Pu Tiancheng's bones melt, but he still tensed up and pretended.Pretending to be one of the essential qualities of an official is also a means that a man must have.Pu Tiancheng is pretending this time, but he is not pretending. He is afraid, really afraid. Why should he be afraid?At the beginning, he was not afraid at all. When he hugged Jin Man to bed for the first time, a ball of fire was burning on his body, and the blood in his veins concentrated in one place. He hugged her like he was hugging a ball of sea water. A big piece of delicious cake.Yes, cake, Pu Tiancheng really had such a wonderful idea at that time, he threw the cake on the bed, and while unbuttoning her clothes, he thought, how could I be willing to leave such a delicious cake to others?

To be young then, and to be young means to be fearless. Now he is old, really, Pu Tiancheng sighed old for the first time.It's not that his body is old, but his heart.Once a man is afraid of things, it proves that your heart is old, and you no longer dare to be presumptuous, arrogant, or unscrupulous like a strong wind passing through the earth when facing the world. He stretched out his hand, wanting to put his arms around her, to cater to her enthusiasm, to encourage her enthusiasm.But when he raised his hand in the air, he felt a trace of fear, what was he afraid of, Pu Tiancheng couldn't figure it out for a while.Didn't he always miss her strongly? Didn't he also think about her body again and again at night when he couldn't sleep, why?

Pu Tiancheng hesitated for a while, but still didn't put his hands on Jin Man's body. He let Jin Man warmly embrace him, but he himself pretended to be indifferent.After a while, he wanted Jin Man to be quiet first, he should be quiet, he thought, it is best to find out why she came to the provincial capital first, after all, she has a husband now, besides, Wang Huazhong and the others are also beating her Idea, be cautious. Jin Man went crazy for a while, and gradually cooled down.She didn't want to cool down, she wanted to strike while the iron was hot and melt herself into his arms.But Pu Tiancheng's stiffness reminded her.Women are sensitive, and every change in a man's body can send signals to them.

"You really don't love me anymore." Jin Man let go of him, said something sadly, turned around, and left a little lonely.Later, she looked for slippers, and after searching for a long time, she realized that the slippers were left in the bathroom. Jin Man sighed in disappointment, and simply went barefoot. Anyway, she was used to being naked in front of Pu Tiancheng. "Get dressed first." Pu Tiancheng sat down not far from Jin Man. Jin Man's half-naked body made him dare not look directly at him, especially the pair of breasts, like two excited Tibetan antelopes. attack him.From the first time, it was these bouncing breasts that brought him fatal temptation.For a while, Pu Tiancheng wondered, if one day those breasts were deformed, would he still like this woman?

Jin Man got up from the sofa, looked at Pu Tiancheng, with grievance in her eyes: "Why?" She asked, but subconsciously grabbed the clothes on the bed, trying to put them on her body, she put them on halfway, and threw them away : "Why are you indifferent to me?" Pu Tiancheng smiled: "You silly boy, how could you have such an idea." "Don't lie to me, I can feel it." Jin Man said, pretending to be sad, walked over, and snuggled into Pu Tiancheng's arms like a bird. Pu Tiancheng's heart skipped a beat, he was ashamed of himself for being calm.When a man tries to calm down with a certain woman, the position of this woman in his heart is shaken.Pu Tiancheng believed that Jin Man's position in his heart had not been shaken at all. He was just worried that Jin Man, who hadn't seen him for a long time, might have other purposes?

"If you dislike me, I'll go back now." Jin Man said softly with his face pressed against Pu Tiancheng's chest.Pu Tiancheng noticed that there were crystal teardrops glistening in Jin Man's bright black eyes. His heart softened, knowing that he had hurt her, he shouldn't have hurt her, he could hurt anyone, but he couldn't hurt her.A woman who sacrificed her life's happiness for him, a woman who once aborted a baby for him but insisted on letting him satisfy his sexual desire the next day, a woman who always gritted her teeth and refused to say his name in front of her parents' coercion, Why do you have the heart to hurt?A surge of guilt tormented him, Pu Tiancheng stretched out his hand tremblingly, and hugged Jin Man.Jin Man convulsed, for a long time, smiled like a child, and then hugged him tighter.

The waves rose again, and it would be very difficult for Pu Tiancheng to calm himself down. It is said that officials are the sexiest among men, and those large and small decency cases, once exposed, will definitely demonize their masters, especially in private life, they must be extravagant and shameless.Some so-called official writers who don't understand the political field at all also write the private life of officials to the extreme in their works.Pu Tiancheng didn't want to excuse himself. In fact, among all people's private lives, the private life of officials is the most cautious and restricted. This restriction does not come from any aspect, but from the official himself. Apart from other things, the huge work pressure alone can stop a man from looking at him. Putiancheng once joked with Yu Chuanqing: "Being an official for one day is equivalent to losing two days of life. In this way, it is really not worthwhile for us." Yu Chuanqing said with a smile: "That's you, replace us, not two days , but a week." Yu Chuanqing then whispered into his ear, "To tell you the truth, I haven't had that kind of life for two months, and I'm really exhausted." Pu Tiancheng sighed sympathetically , Think about yourself, why not.Sometimes Qiao Ruoxuan came back once a month, and sometimes didn't come back for two months, but every time he handed in the homework, he had a hard time.After arriving in the province from Jidong, there were no other women around him, not because he was so orthodox, but the key was that he couldn't afford it. Pu Tiancheng sighed sadly, it was strange to say that after seeing Jin Man, his body suddenly revived somehow.Everything is based on fate, Pu Tiancheng believes in this more and more now.The same is true for men and women. Some women, no matter how long they spend together, you can't have any unreasonable thoughts about her.Some women don't, as soon as they meet, the feeling is there, and it's very strong.According to the saying of young people nowadays, call or not call.Pu Tiancheng believed that both he and Jin Man were strong electric bodies, and they could not meet each other, but when they met, they would definitely call. Jin Man squirmed in his arms, like an earthworm trying to dig a ditch.Pu Tiancheng was itchy all over and had a fever.Jin Man's breath infects him and stimulates him, especially the two thighs that are completely exposed, which makes him feel tight and short of breath. Finally, his hands seem to be disobedient, "touch" it, and "touch" Putiancheng's blood boiled when he touched the tender white thigh, as if suddenly, he had strength, picked up Jin Man, and pecked it like an eagle pecking a chicken. Jin Man uttered a more cheerful cry, and occasionally moaned "Aw, Aw". The room was flooded by the heat wave, and the two quickly fell on the bed, upside down, upside down, happy... Sometimes people's life is actually very simple, you have to admit that most of the time, human beings are trying to be quick. A hearty battle made Pu Tiancheng sweat profusely. Although the air conditioner was turned on in the room, the cold air from the air conditioner was far from cooling him down. He was panting as if drenched in hot rain.Jin Man hasn't been so happy for a long time. She is married to a man, but that man can't keep up with her request. In fact, Jin Man knows that with a man like Pu Tiancheng in his heart, no matter how other men are, No matter how good it is, it can't be seen.That unfulfilling guy was lazy, and he heard about her relationship with Pu Tiancheng from somewhere, and often threatened her with it and made fun of her.Jin Man wanted to divorce him a long time ago, but she couldn't find a more sufficient reason. Not long ago, she finally found out that the man had an affair with a waiter hired in the store. Jin Man spent a lot of effort and finally caught the man and the waiter .The store was invested and opened by Jin Man. After the man was laid off, he couldn't find a job to do. Jin Man didn't want to use Putiancheng's relationship, so he had to open a small video store, let the man pass the time, and free up time for her to spend time. I miss Pu Tiancheng day and night.After catching rape and catching both, Jin Man confidently divorced the man, but the man refused at first, and even threatened to reveal Jin Man's relationship with Pu Tiancheng.Jin Man smiled and encouraged the man: "You can talk about it now, and talk to everyone you meet. If Jidong thinks it's too small, then go to the provincial capital Haizhou and talk about it. If you don't tell me about this relationship, this family will not be happy." , you don’t even want to come in for a day.” The man saw that she was going all out, and he was timid, and the waiter refused to give up. He insisted on marrying him, so he put forward a vicious condition that the house and shop would belong to him. If Jin Man gave him another 200,000, he would divorce. Jin Man gritted his teeth and agreed.She wanted to redeem her body and leave it to Pu Tiancheng wholeheartedly. Jin Man was naked and went down to take a shower. Pu Tiancheng stared at her obsessively. What a beautiful and poetic naked body, Pu Tiancheng suddenly remembered an oil painting, which seemed to be made by a French master. The woman in the painting is also naked, with her back to the audience. He was deeply attracted by that oil painting. Pu Tiancheng, who did not understand art, felt the shocking power of art for the first time, and felt the insignificance of a man in front of a woman.Now, this shocking force hit him again, Pu Tiancheng shuddered coldly, why did he have the heart to destroy her again and again? Every time after having sex with Jin Man, Pu Tiancheng felt a sense of guilt, thinking that he had blasphemed the goddess and defiled the purity. As he got older, this feeling of guilt became stronger and stronger. It's getting stronger and stronger—— Jin Man finished rinsing quickly, returned to the bed again, curled up, and snuggled into Pu Tiancheng's arms.Putiancheng hugged her distressedly, listening to her say something.It's strange to say that Pu Tiancheng and his wife Qiao Ruoxuan have never been like this. The matters between the husband and wife are always business affairs, and they are over when they are done. Some thoughtful words.It's different from Jin Man, every time after finishing the work, the two of them always hug each other and talk for a long time.Sometimes Jin Man deliberately teases him, asking him to act wild again.When Gil-dong, the two of them had a record of embracing from Saturday to seven o'clock in the morning of Monday. She is a well, a well with a crystal clear bottom. People who fall into it will not drown, but will only swim excitedly.Pu Tiancheng once compared Jin Man like this. If I am not an official, I would rather become a frog and dwell in your dense green grass forever.This is the poem that Pu Tiancheng once sang to Jin Man after drinking when he was the secretary of the municipal party committee. The poem may make people laugh, but it is indeed from his heart.Now, he found the feeling of dwelling in a small house again. He played Jin Man over, with his chest pressed against hers, and said viciously: "You are really my fairy, you want to make me perish for the rest of my life." Jin Man will be coquettish after being coquettish, but she won't. When she came to Haizhou this time, she had something serious to talk to Pu Tiancheng about.Jin Man said that Wang Huazhong was looking for her with the woman named Jiang Yue.Jiang Yue wrote a lot of materials and asked her to sign them.Pu Tiancheng asked what the materials were, and Jin Man said: "The materials for your accusation, it lists seventeen crimes against you, which is quite scary." "Seventeen." Putiancheng sighed.Until now, he still doesn't understand what Wang Huazhong and Xu Zhaohu want to do.Simply wanting to break him, or...Wang Huazhong jumps up and down, he can understand, after all, he has cut his power in the past and forced him to leave his leadership position early. For an official, this is tantamount to killing him.As for Xu Zhaohu and Jiang Yue's participation, he was a little puzzled.Especially Jiang Yue, Pu Tiancheng thought about it carefully. To Jiang Yue, he had a clear conscience and was confident that he had done nothing wrong. All the punishments she received were deserved. No wonder others, but this woman was so shameless that she bit back and said what Everything she did was ordered by him!In his life, Pu Tiancheng seldom instructs others to do something. He has a principle, that is, he never leaves any excuses for what he does. Instructing others is tantamount to giving a chain to let others tie him up again. Jin Man said a lot in one go, including how Jiang Yue cried and cried, saying that she was also a victim, and that she was fooled by Pu Tiancheng, and that he called Pu Tiancheng an old fox with cruel methods. When he got tired of playing with her, he kicked her away again. .She reminded Jin Man that there would be no result with Pu Tiancheng. "You should wake up as soon as possible, don't expect him, he can support you for a lifetime, what a joke, he dares to kick me, and will support you?" "He asked me to work as a black account, took money from me, and then bought officials or raised women. He didn't take any responsibility when something happened. This kind of man has already let his conscience be eaten by dogs." "I heard that he was going to send a million dollars to the high-ranking official in the province at a time. The money he took from me was not only the amount that was found out, but also a large sum, which was embezzled by him. Sooner or later, he will have to vomit. come out." "Also, he used the name of visiting the prison to make my stomach big, and he refused to admit it after he came out. Just wait, one day in the future, I will take the child to the provincial committee and let the provincial committee make a decision." Pu Tiancheng listened, his hair stood on end, he sat up suddenly, interrupted Jin Man and asked, "She really said that?" "She said it, and I'm wondering too, how could you..." Jin Man didn't dare to finish speaking. "Crazy, this woman is really crazy!" Pu Tiancheng said, and was about to get out of bed when Jin Man grabbed his hand: "What are you doing, I still want you to hug me. Putiancheng said: "No, I can't let her continue talking nonsense." Jin Man suddenly turned pale, and boldly asked: "Is that child really yours?" Pu Tiancheng didn't answer, but just gouged out Jin Man's eyes bitterly. There are some things that Jin Man can't explain clearly. Pu Tiancheng still doesn't know how Jiang Yue got pregnant inside. For him, the consequences will be severe.Although this kind of thing will be found out sooner or later, but when it is found out, your innocence will be gone. Pu Tiancheng put on his clothes and wanted to drink water, Jin Man suddenly stood up: "By the way, I haven't told you the most important thing yet, they...they brought me to that person." "Which person?!" "It's Secretary Ma who went to the province." "what?!" Pu Tiancheng didn't accompany Jin Man for dinner that day. The meal was already ordered. On the way to the hotel, Pu Tiancheng called the proprietress Bai Yushuang and told her that there was an important guest to be received and asked her to prepare a meal for two. , Keep it simple, don't be too extravagant, Bai Yushuang hummed.The good thing about this woman, Bai Yushuang, was that she didn't ask about anything, so what did Pu Tiancheng tell her and what would she do.She once said a word to Pu Tiancheng, which inspired him a lot. Bai Yushuang said: "I am a businessman. A businessman's mouth can't talk about anything except money. A businessman's ear also has everything but money." I can’t listen.” Pu Tiancheng said with a smile, “Classics.” After a while, he asked again: “According to what you said, I have a mouth and ears, so what should I talk about and listen to?” Bai Yushuang said reservedly: "You are the leader, how dare I talk nonsense." Pu Tiancheng smiled and didn't ask any more questions.Do you still need to ask people with your ears and mouth?As the secretary-general, his ears and eyes are used to listen to the tide, and he cannot let go of any disturbance or ebb and flow.His mouth is used to blow fire.Some fires need to be extinguished in time, and he has to use the skills of extinguishing them; some fires need to be burned, and he has to use the skills of fanning them. What Jin Man said spoiled his state of mind. He was really not in the mood to eat any more, so he said, "I have something to do tonight, so I can't accompany you to dinner. You go downstairs by yourself, and they will welcome you." Jin Man knew what was in his heart. When something happened, he didn't bother, and hummed obediently.Pu Tiancheng took out a card, which was the one that Yu Chuanqing gave him: "You can take this card, there is some money on it, you can use it first." Jin Man blushed, and evaded: "I didn't come running here It's up to you who asks you for money." "You can take it if you tell me, it's useless to put it in my hands." As he said, he forced the card into Jin Man's hand.Jin Man took the card, looked a little embarrassed, and smiled shyly.When she smiled, she looked naive, Pu Tiancheng's favorite was Jin Man's naive look.He held Jin Man's face in his arms, and couldn't help kissing him again: "Silly boy, I really want to eat you in one bite." "Then you eat." Jin Man said, and posted it again, Pu Tiancheng held her in his arms, and the two of them were tender for a while, Pu Tiancheng said: "I have to go back, and you will go back tomorrow, stay here The influence is not good, remember, no matter what happens, be calm." Jin Man was frightened by this sentence, she was already sweating for Pu Tiancheng, but Pu Tiancheng didn't say this, she was still fluttering in her heart, when she said it, her face immediately changed: "There is nothing serious, right? I'm afraid." Pu Tiancheng patted Jin Man on the shoulder reassuringly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, so you can eat your meal without worry." It was like a father coaxing his daughter. Sometimes, Pu Tiancheng felt that facing Jin Man was like facing his daughter, but he didn't dare to think this way, because thinking about it would make him feel more guilty.Fortunately, he used money to alleviate this sense of guilt. Jin Man might not have imagined that there was 200,000 on the card just now, a figure that Pu Tiancheng had never expected. Zhang Huaquan's move was really generous.Pu Tiancheng sometimes thinks, these people below, where does the money come from, but he will be ridiculed by another voice, where does your money come from? Yes, some problems cannot be thought about, and when one thinks about it, one's own ugliness and falsehood come out.Just like when he gave Jin Man money, Pu Tiancheng never dared to seriously think about whether it was love, affection, or what? The world is turbid, so should your thoughts. From the day he stepped into the officialdom, Pu Tiancheng has been a turbid person.It's just that until now, he's still not muddy enough.For some reason, Pu Tiancheng thought of that piece of pottery again. In his eyes, pottery was also turbid, and that turbidity was the real turbidity. Early the next morning, before seven o'clock, when Pu Tiancheng entered the office, the phone rang, and it was Secretary Hanlin calling him, "Come up here." Pu Tiancheng was nervous for a while, and Secretary Hanlin's tone seemed not quite right.He thought about it for a while, and went upstairs. The others hadn't gone to work yet, and the upstairs was quiet, so Pu Tiancheng chose to take the elevator. Secretary Dong Wu was not there, and only Secretary Hanlin was in the office, with a black and blue face, as if he was annoyed by someone.Pu Tiancheng didn't dare to ask, he stood silently on the edge of the table, beating a small drum in his heart, waiting for Secretary Hanlin to speak. Secretary Hanlin didn't look at him, and turned over the materials in his hand, as if he was planning something.Just as Pu Tiancheng was about to speak, Secretary Hanlin suddenly slammed the materials, stood up, and said in a bad tone: "What's wrong, complaint letters are flying all over the sky, do you want to make troubles all over the city before you're willing to do it?!" Pu Tiancheng shrank back in fright, screamed inwardly that he was not good, and shivered several times in succession. Secretary Hanlin turned out to be angry for him. He lowered his head, thinking urgently in his heart, what kind of defeat happened again? "I've always emphasized, don't make mistakes with women, why don't you listen?!" Secretary Hanlin cursed again and sat down.Pu Tiancheng realized that it must be Jiang Yue who made the complaint. He gritted his teeth resentfully, and continued to stand, waiting for Secretary Hanlin to finish his anger. Secretary Hanlin restrained himself, probably because he also felt that his temper was a little bit too strong, so he drank tea as an excuse to ease the atmosphere in the room.After a while, Secretary Hanlin took out a confidential letter and threw it to Pu Tiancheng: "Look for yourself!" Pu Tiancheng hurriedly picked up the material, it didn't matter if he didn't read it, but when he saw it, his cold sweat broke out. The letter was forwarded by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and there were instructions from the main leaders, demanding a strict investigation.Looking at the content again, he was even more shocked.The letter listed a series of his incidents in Jidong. In addition to the migrant worker case and the Jidong Building that were brought up repeatedly, two more items were added this time.One is playing with women.The report letter portrayed him as a pervert, and he had played with more than a dozen women, among whom Jin Man and Shen Xiaoying were named.What makes people laugh is that Jiang Yue also became a victim. What she said to Jin Man was all written in the letter. At the end, she also specifically emphasized that Pu Tiancheng played with her in prison and made her conceive a child .Jiang Yue made up this story in a neat and orderly manner, but Pu Tiancheng was terrified when he read it. The other one made Pu Tiancheng even more creepy.Jiang Yue told many inside stories about the land acquisition of Jidong Building, some of which can be regarded as top secret.At that time, Su Run had mobilized underworld forces to demolish the house. Among them, Wang Chaoqi, former chairman of the labor union of Jidong Chemical Plant, had his leg broken by the underworld. A female worker who petitioned with Wang Chaoqi was almost raped by Su Run's men.At that time, only Pu Tiancheng and a few members of the Standing Committee knew the truth about these things. Later, Pu Tiancheng ordered the former police chief and now the deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Bureau, Wang Mingyang, to quell the incident.Wang Chao started a work-related injury. In addition to receiving 300,000 yuan in compensation, the city finance department also paid him a salary every month.The female worker was later assigned to the Municipal Archives Bureau and became a national civil servant.Pu Tiancheng would never have dreamed that Wang Huazhong and the others even dug up these things. He raised his head and stared blankly at Song Hanlin. He had reported the conflict between Su Run and Yuan Jihua to the then executive vice-governor Song Hanlin during the land acquisition of Jidong Building, but he didn't dare to mention these things to Song Hanlin.Now that Song Hanlin knew about it, besides being ashamed, he was more ashamed.You know, the most taboo thing in the officialdom is concealment, especially his relationship with Song Hanlin. Concealment means deception. You may not be able to do it well, but you must not deceive! Deception can sometimes have more dire consequences than deception! Song Hanlin half-lyed on the chair, his eyes were closed tightly, and the expression on his face was hard to fathom, Pu Tiancheng's heart clenched even tighter.After a long time, he opened his mouth and called out, "Old Secretary..." Song Hanlin didn't say anything, and closed his eyes again into the porcelain. Pu Tiancheng didn't dare to call anymore, if he continued calling, Song Hanlin might jump up. The air in the room was extremely heavy, and Pu Tiancheng felt like he couldn't breathe.After a while, footsteps sounded in the corridor, as if they were coming this way, Pu Tiancheng was about to turn around to block the door, but the footsteps retreated again.After that, the whole floor was as empty as a field. Pu Tiancheng was so regretful that his heart was about to bleed. If he had known this, he said that the project of Jidong Building was nothing, how many people were destroyed on the building.But at that time, Secretary Wu Yuhao had ordered this project. If he hadn't risked everything to get it, would he be where he is today?Also, Su Run's relationship with Wu Yuhao and later with Secretary Hanlin are all things he has to consider. For him, Jidong Mansion is his nightmare, a nightmare that he will never dare to repeat in his life . Think about it, for this building, how much painstaking effort he has spent back and forth. During that period, half of his hair was gray, and for nearly half a year, he lost interest in sleeping with women. Even in front of Jin Man, he also felt angry. Not a trace of desire!It wasn't until the dust settled and the things that should be settled that he slowly regained his vitality. Just like this, Jin Man also spent a lot of thought to let him... About half an hour passed, and Secretary Hanlin finally opened his eyes. He seemed to have woken up from a nightmare, and he cheered up and said, "Tian Cheng, I won't tell you about the benefits. I know better. How about this, recently you hand over the work at hand to free up some energy, I have no other requirements, only one, these sediments will never float up!" "I...I understand." After Pu Tiancheng finished speaking, he turned around abruptly. He knew that it was time for him to take decisive measures. That morning, Putian Chengcheng handed over the work at hand to Deputy Secretary-General Li Yuan, and he left Li Yuan a mobile phone number, which he would call if he could not be found.Li Yuan looked at him in surprise: "Head, nothing will happen, right?" Putiancheng smiled: "Nothing happened, Secretary Hanlin gave me a piece of material, I have to work behind closed doors." Li Yuan believed it was true, Song Xia breathed out: "Didn't you have a new pen, why do you still have to work hard?" Pu Tiancheng said: "You have to ask the secretary about this, I can't answer." Take a few important things, leave out of the office. Three hours later, Ma Xiaolin and Hu Bing arrived in Haizhou. Putiancheng asked them to wait at the Baiyun Hotel, and waited for a while to pass by.At this juncture, Pu Tiancheng still hadn't forgotten to sneak in. He was obviously very anxious and wished to see his two confidantes immediately, but when his confidants really came, he had to pretend not to be impatient.There is no way, if he can't hold back his panic, can the people below hold back? An hour later, the three of them met in the luxuriously decorated tea room of Baiyun Hotel.At first glance, they were all big leaders, and Bai Yushuang personally made arrangements.Pu Tiancheng asked Bai Yushuang to brew a pot of pu bait, and then warmed the pot of wine.Bai Yushuang took the order to go, and Pu Tiancheng looked at Ma Xiaolin: "What's going on, it's getting more and more chaotic." Ma Xiaolin had already realized that something was wrong, and he hesitated: "They are too arrogant, I can't control the situation." Pu Tiancheng Disappointed, he withdrew his eyes and stared at Hu Bing's face again. Hu Bing was calm, and he said: "Secretary Ma is going down this time, the drunkard's intention is not to drink." "I know that." Pu Tiancheng interrupted Hu Bing, and asked again: "How did you go about what I told you last time?" Hu Bing fell silent.The last time Putian dealt with him, asked him to find time to meet Su Run, see Su Run's mental state, and tell Su Run that someone was thinking about him. "Didn't go?" Pu Tiancheng stared at Hu Bing suspiciously, with obvious displeasure flashing across his face. Hu Bing didn't dare to prevaricate any more, and said honestly, "I went, but he posed a problem for me." "What problem?" "He...he asked you and Secretary Hanlin to visit him." "It's against him?!" Pu Tiancheng uttered angrily, and was about to explode when Bai Yushuang came in, holding a bottle of Wuliang "liquid" and a bag of Pubai wrapped in rice paper. "Let's put it down, we'll do it ourselves." Pu Tiancheng said.Bai Yushuang nodded, glanced at Ma Xiaolin, and backed out knowingly. Hu Bing frantically wanted to make tea, but Pu Tiancheng grabbed the tea and threw it aside.This abnormal movement made Ma Xiaolin and Hu Bing more and more uneasy. They looked at each other and lowered their heads guiltily. Pu Tiancheng didn't really want to drink tea, the tea and wine were just used to deceive people, he didn't want Bai Yushuang to guess.He sighed, and said: "The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is all over the building." Neither Hu Bing nor Ma Xiaolin dared to answer, especially Ma Xiaolin. These days, seeing Ma Chaoran making waves in Jidong, his food and tea are not delicious. Even if Pu Tiancheng didn't call, he would rush over , You can't sit still, you have to find a way, you really have to find a way. But there is no way, Ma Xiaolin can't think of a good idea, he thought that the high-level officials would not do anything to Pu Tiancheng, and who would dare to do anything to him under the cover of Secretary Hanlin.It now appears that he was wrong.He frowned sadly. At this moment, his heart was a little cold, especially at the critical moment of adjusting the team. If things were not handled properly, his dream of going to a higher level would only be shattered. "Tell me, do you have any good ideas?" Putian Chengbi was calmer when he first came in, and his tone of speech was a little more easy-going. Ma Xiaolin opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't say anything, Yuan lowered his head and went silent again. Hu Bing seemed to have his own opinion: "Secretary Pu, Jiang Yue can't let Jiang Yue talk nonsense anymore, she is a little crazy now." Something flashed in Pu Tiancheng's eyes: "What do you mean?" “这段日子都是她在作怪，如果这张嘴封住了，别人的嘴巴也不好张开。” “怎么封，这女人的情况你又不是不知道。”马效林突然接话道。胡兵没理马效林，按说，在马效林面前，胡兵是下级，应该注意分寸。可今天，胡兵把这个分寸丢了。 普天成瞟了眼马效林，目光又对住胡兵：“接着说。” “江玥以前不是这样的，据我所知，王化忠他们找过她多次，她都没跟着起哄，现在突然跳出来乱咬，背后一定有文章。” “什么文章？”马效林耐不住，又不合时宜插了一句。普天成厉声斥道：“什么毛病，不说话没人会拿你当哑巴！” 马效林脖子一缩，红着脸不说话了。胡兵这才又说：“分析来分析去，只有一个可能，监狱长调换得不是时候。” 普天成脸上忽然露出一层笑，欣赏地望着胡兵：“把那瓶酒打开，我敬两位一杯。”胡兵受宠若惊，刚才说话时，他还反复思忖，要不要把心里的疑惑全讲出来，现在看来，讲了是对的。胡兵对普天成的膜拜又进了一步。他相信普天成早就想到了这点，他是在借这桩事，考验他们两个。 酒打开了，普天成举起酒杯，脸上换了平日那种温和的笑：“效林啊，看问题不要光看表面，一定要找到它的深层原因。二位辛苦了，来，我敬你们一杯。” 马效林跟胡兵慌忙捧起杯子，战战惊惊跟普天成碰杯。普天成望住胡兵的目光有几分暧昧，在这间看不见阳光的茶室里，那层暧昧让马效林心里不舒服。马效林斜睨了胡兵一眼，胡兵刚才的话他还是没听懂，江玥撕破脸，跟调换监狱长有什么关系？ 谈话到这儿，普天成就没再继续下去，三个人将一瓶酒喝完，普天成说：“下午你们就在这吃顿便饭，什么时候回去，你们自己定，我先走一步。对了，过些日子组织部可能要搞测评，你们准备一下。” 最后这句话，说得两颗原本乱了的心又怦怀乱跳起来。 普天成没跟马效林和胡兵继续交谈，是因为他觉得，话到点明为止，再谈就是多余。他找两人来，就是想证实一件事：江玥为什么会变？这个问题曾经困惑了他好些日子，也让他的计划逼迫推迟。按说，江玥是不该跟着乱起哄的，别人能凑热闹，她不能。江玥怎么起来的，怎么又到了重要领导岗位上，她自己比谁都清楚。别的话普天成不敢说，但如果没有他，江玥这一生，怕都进入不了权力的核心。财政局长啊，其作用比有些常委还要大。至于她后来的蜕变，普天成只能用惋惜两个字来形容。当然，如果当时他态度暖和一点，江玥也不至于被判那么重。人的命运就是这样，必然中又含着偶然，要怪也只能怪江玥，谁让她又跟王化忠他们搅一起呢。脚踩两只船，看似是一种保险方式，实则是一种最愚蠢的方式，无数事实证明，这种人从来就没保险过，掉进水里淹死的机会远大于那些忠心耿耿踩一只的。政治在考验你的智慧的同时，也在考验你的意志力和洞察力，脚踩两只船，说穿了还是意志不够坚决。千万别忘了，船跟船之间是有距离的。距离其实就是障碍，就是分歧，就是走得远和走不远的差别。现在，江玥跟他也有了距离，普天成并不后悔，当初提拔或重用江玥没错，后来让司法部门追究她责任也没错，现在，江玥无中生有捏造事实攻击他，也没错。 朋友跟敌人，往往只有一步之遥。那一步，有些人跨起来艰难，有些人跨起来却容易，江玥属于后者。 他必须要搞清楚的，是理由。无风不起浪，无浪同样不翻船。自己的船翻了，再把别人也拖下水，这就不只是卑鄙了，是狠毒。 江玥不是一个狠毒的女人，这点普天成相信。不狠毒的女人出狠招，必有理由！ 普天成分析来分析去，也把原因找在了监狱里面，他猜想，一定是监狱调整了班子，新领导威胁到了江玥的自由。是啊，江玥为了出来，付出了多大代价？四十多岁再设法跟男人怀孩子，那要多大的勇气，光有勇气还不够，还要有智慧。毕竟四十六岁的女人跟男人苟合，不是一件容易的事，况且她还是带罪之身。这点江玥做到了，她出来了。只要出来，就不想再回去，江玥可以找到一千条一万条法律追究不到的理由，这点普天成也坚信。如果能安安稳稳在外面自由着，她会反咬么，不可能！那么，她反咬的理由，只能是自由受到了威胁。 经胡兵这一说，普天成心里越发有了底。他在欣赏胡兵的同时，对自己，又多了份自信。不过对马效林，普天成却有一点失望。要是胡兵那番话由马效林说出来，那该多好啊。至少，他普天成没培养错人。 培养错一个人，是要付出代价的，特别是被自己视为心腹的人。这些人如果头脑过于简单，在政治上不但难有作为，关键时候，还会害你大事。 不管这些了，症结找到后，就得对症下“药”，把问题彻底解决干净。 普天成拿起电话，打给公安厅汪副厅长，两人约了地点，说好晚上九点见面。 搁下电话没多久，那部平日很少用的手机响了一声，掏出一看，是副秘书长李源发来短信，告知他瀚林书记去了北京。 去了北京？ 这太突然了！普天成脑子一时转不过弯来，瀚林书记这个时候去北京，为了什么？过了良久，他的思路才渐渐清晰，似乎，没有下午那么紧张了。他自我安慰道，他也在灭火。 灭火。放心吧，火不会烧起来！ 保姆卢小卉唤他吃饭。“你吃吧，我不饿。”普天成应了一声，依旧站在那株巴西木前发呆。有了卢小卉的照顾，家里这些花，一天比一天长得茂盛，普天成却常常视而不见。卢小卉站在远处，楞楞地望住他，半天，走过来道：“普叔，我看您心上有事。”普天成像是突然被卢小卉惊醒，呵呵笑了两声，边往餐厅走边说：“你个孩子家，知道啥叫心上有事？” 卢小卉又愣了一会，不服气地道：“我知道的，我真的知道。” “好，好，你知道，可我心里没事。” “心里没事您咋不吃饭，是我做的不好？” “做的好，我还到处夸你饭菜做的好呢。”普天成拿起了筷子。 “真的？”卢小卉眼睛一亮，快步来到普天成跟前，喜笑颜开地说：“普叔您多吃点。” 晚九点，普天成来到人民剧院边上的望江楼，公安厅副厅长汪明阳在那儿等他。来到包间，汪明阳正在品茶，一副悠然自得的样子。身边还坐着一位女人，很年轻，普天成好像在哪儿见过。 “好日子啊，明阳。”普天成笑说了一句，目光盯在年轻女人脸上，这张脸很熟悉，可惜一时记不起她是谁。 汪明阳起身，热情地迎过来，嘴里道：“托秘书长的福。”一看身后空着，不解地问：“怎么，一个人？”普天成道：“你想让我带一个团啊？” 汪明阳听出这是句挖苦话，讪讪笑了笑，跟普天成介绍：“这位是省电视台社会聚焦栏目的陶记者，也是栏目主持人，最近跟我们联合制作一个节目。” 那女孩伸出手，落落大方地说：“秘书长好，我叫陶举，陶器的陶，举人的举，请秘书长多多关照。” 这名字听上去真怪，也别扭，可陶举介绍得相当自信。 一听是记者，普天成脸上的笑就没了。有两种人你不能走得太近，一是记者，记者说是无冕之王，其实很垃圾，特别是这些整天跟在领导屁股后面的女记者，谁知道她们玩的是哪门子功夫。还有就是北京来的那些公子哥，这些人是猴子的身子老虎的口，说大话夸海口丝毫不脸红，你要半个北京城，他都敢答应。一旦他缠上你，一准会弄得你又赔夫人又折兵。普天成倒是没吃过这类人的亏，他向来坚持敬而远之的原则，之前的孙涛副书记，听说就让一个公子给坑了。 普天成收回遐思，不客气地道：“让这位记者回避一下，我还不太习惯当着记者的面说事。” 叫陶举的记者正想跟普天成套近乎呢，一张粉脸刚绽开迷人的笑，小嘴儿还没来及张，普天成就把她的笑给刻薄了回去。陶举起身，一时显得无措，汪明阳脸上也是尴尬，嘴张了几张，扭头冲陶举说：“外面还有包间，你先随便找一间坐下，我跟秘书长有重要事谈。”陶举似乎不甘心，好像她还从没让人这么剥过面子，但一看普天成的脸色，不敢再磨蹭，拿起坤包，出去了。 陶举刚走，普天成就批评道：“往后这种场合，少带生人来。” 汪明阳知道犯了错误，咧着嘴笑了笑：“下次改，下次一定改。” “多少个下次了，我看你迟早要毁到这些女人身上。” 汪明阳狡辩：“她不是你说的那种女人，我跟她没啥，真的是为了工作。” 普天成没心就这个问题争论，没好气地说：“工作到办公室去谈。” 普天成误会了汪明阳，也误会了陶举。陶举跟汪明阳，真的没什么，他们是在工作中认识的，陶举想在社会聚焦栏目做一期普天成的专访，访谈内容她都设计好了，但苦于不认识普天成，才让汪明阳牵线。下午普天成并没跟汪明阳说啥事，汪明阳还以为普天成疲累了，想放松一下，就把陶举叫了来，哪知…… 普天成言归正传，问汪明阳：“最近吉东那边的风声听说了没？” 汪明阳脸一白：“听到了，那伙人很嚣张。” “那你还有心情请女人喝茶？” “这……是碰巧，碰巧遇在了一起。” “往后这种碰巧的事，少来点。”说完这句，普天成点了一支烟。这是很少有的事，汪明阳的记忆里，普天成从不抽烟，但今天普天成抽了，这说明，吉东那边的风波，不是小风波。当然，汪明阳也不是只懂风月而不懂别的，吉东风波有多大，他这个公安厅长心里自然清楚，只是，老想着有普天成在，任何风波都只不过是风波而已，波一下就风平浪静了，要不他怎么能当官场“教父”呢？ “我问你，是不是牛如虎对江玥施加过压力？”普天成抽了两口，猛地将烟头摁灭，一双豹子眼瞪住了汪明阳。 汪明阳暗吸一口冷气，这事他一直瞒着没跟普天成讲，看来，现在是不讲不行了。其实，跟江玥施加压力的，不是新上任的监狱长牛如虎，正是汪明阳自己。上次普天成跟他交待过后，他亲自赶赴吉东，以铁腕手段将原监狱长丁茂盛这根钉子拔了出去，换上了心腹牛如虎，然后又找苏润，如此这般交待了一番。按说事情到此就可为止，回来前一天，汪明阳突然心血来潮，为了让王化忠他们拉拢江玥的目的落空，他决计向江玥施加压力，如果江玥胆敢胡说，就让她再回到监狱去。 弄巧成拙这个词，就是这么来的。 汪明阳掐头去尾，将事情的经过简单复述了一遍，他没敢说是自己找的江玥，将这不漂亮的事安到了牛如虎头上，反正普天成也不会找牛如虎对质去，陷害就陷害一次吧。普天成听完，苦笑了一声：“你们这是做的啥事，凡事能不能动动脑子？”汪明阳赶紧检讨：“这事我有责任，秘书长，怎么善后，您只管交待。”见汪明阳态度诚恳，普天成也不好再说什么，想了想道：“你马上去趟吉东，一定要找到江玥，把牛如虎说的那些话，悉数收回来。另外，再想办法安抚一下她，女人是经不起恐吓的，如虎这一招，实在是败笔。” “安抚？”汪明阳不情愿地皱了皱眉头：“对这种女人，还要安抚，不如让她回里面安稳坐牢算了，省得她多事。”汪明阳是公安，公安向来认为，人只有进到监狱里，嘴才老实。 普天成再次笑笑：“老弟，你这话让我失望。她既然能出来，你就关不牢她，再说，她只是一个女人，我们犯不着跟女人较真，我只是希望，她能迷途知返。” “狗改不了吃屎。”汪明阳说了句脏话，普天成眉头微微一蹙，他不喜欢别人在他面前讲道理，汪明阳还没到跟他讲道理的份上。 “就这么办吧。”他站起来，从口袋里掏出一张卡：“这卡你带着，一点小意思，这事，拜托你了。” “别，别，别，秘书长，您这是……？”汪明阳紧张了，他怎么能收普天成的卡呢，他还准备着，最近弄张卡给普天成拿过去。各市班子调整完，紧接着就是省直部门，这次能不能上台阶，关键还得看普天成。 普天成将卡丢茶几上，没再多话，出来了。 卡是他临出家门时顺手装口袋里的，原本也没想给汪明阳，凭什么给他呢，他似乎找不到理由。没有理由的事并不是不能做，得看什么时候，现在他需要汪明阳为他出面，消灭掉一些痕迹。痕迹这东西，搁久了是会生根发芽的，弄不好还会长出新的枝叶。普天成不希望它们发芽，过去的事，对也好错也好，他只希望它们永远过去，不要再跳出来烦他，这种烦受用不起啊。 普天成长出一口气，下了楼，汪明阳坚持要送他，被他厉声拒绝了。 下了楼他才忽地记起，那张卡是杨馥嘉送他的，杨馥嘉送他的时候，也是这样一个夜晚，海州的灯火很亮，照得这座省会城市绚烂无比，那天他多喝了点酒，杨馥嘉扶他上车，顺手就把卡揣在了他衣袋里。普天成感觉到了，却装作什么也不知道。官场就是这样，该感觉到的，你必须感觉到，不该感觉到的，你只能装糊涂，糊涂有时候就是最大的精明。他再次想起了那件陶，想到它的颜色。多好的颜色啊，秘色，而不叫土色，也不叫灰色，更不叫暗青。暗青是什么，说不清嘛，怎么能暗呢，一切不都是透明的么。秘色就不一样，一个“秘”字，蕴含了多少东西！ 离开望江楼，普天成并没有马上回家，那个叫家的地方，因为少了乔若瑄和女儿普乔，时常空“荡”“荡”的，回去跟不回去差别不是太大。加上最近又多了个卢小卉，更让他……这孩子，普天成总感觉有点不大对劲儿。哪儿不对劲，他也说不清，只是每次跟她目光相对，总有种被烫着的怪感觉，他不清楚是自己出了问题还是卢小卉本身就有问题，但孤男寡女在一起，真的不好。 普天成想，得找个合适的理由，打发她回去了。再惹出什么事来，他这辈子，可真就说不清了。 走在灯火阑珊的街头，普天成心里浮上杂七杂八的想法。他想起刚从吉东调到海州的那段日子，自己有空没空，总是要到街头走走。海州的夜景是很有特色的，虽不及香港、澳门那么缤纷多姿，但在内地，它也算数一数二，特别是这几年，经济的发展让海州插上了腾飞的翅膀，说一天一个样绝不夸张。普天成漫步在人海里，心情渐渐放松下来，吉东那档事，似乎已不再折磨他，至少，心里那份紧张或后怕没了。说来也是奇怪，刚才在望江楼，他心里还一个劲地跟别人较劲，看什么也来气，好像风波不立马平息掉，他连笑一下的信心都没。这阵，竟像没事人似的，坦坦“荡”“荡”走在大街上。 急火攻心，他嘲笑了句自己，继续往前走。手机响了，是妻子乔若瑄，问他在哪，怎么家里电话没人接？普天成说我在外面，刚吃过饭。乔若瑄问保姆呢，打电话怎么不接？普天成说我也不知道啊，可能到楼下去了吧。乔若瑄说了句什么，普天成没听清，他所在的地方有家家电公司在搞促销，吵闹得很。他说要不我回家打给你吧？乔若瑄说不必了，她也是刚吃完饭，打个电话问候一声。 普天成看了看表，已经晚上十一点了，乔若瑄才吃过饭，看来“应酬”两个字，彻底搞乱了人的生活。普天成忽然想起一个段子，是说眼下这个时代的。段子是这样讲的：这年头，大棚把季节搞乱，关系把程序搞乱，级别把能力搞乱，金钱把官场搞乱，手机把家庭搞乱。 这年头，教授摇唇鼓舌，四处赚钱，越来越像商人；商人现身讲坛，著书立说，越来越像教授。 这年头，完美的人生就是住英国房子，带瑞士手表，拿英国工资，娶韩国女人。开德国轿车，喝法国红酒，雇菲律宾女佣。 这年头，苦干实干，做给天看；东混西混，一帆风顺；任劳任怨，永难如愿；会捧会献，杰出贡献；尽职尽责，多遭职责；推脱栽赃，邀功领赏。 这年头，接听电话声音渐渐小，对方是领导；声音渐渐大，对方是部下；一听就发燥，对方拨错号；笑的不停歇，准是女同学；半天哼一下，老婆在训话；悄悄避开人，对方是情人…… 这年头，段子满天飞，越飞越逼真。普天成自己也跟了一句，嘴角露着会心的笑，朝自己家的方向走去。 汪明阳很快反馈来消息，说他到了吉东，已见了江玥的面。“放心吧，秘书长，我会按您的指示把这事办好。”那晚在望江楼，普天成的态度还有那张卡，让一向把事不当事的汪明阳有了警醒，他再也不敢马虎了，说话的口气毕恭毕敬，他在跟普天成表决心。 普天成要的不是决心，他要见行动。“明阳啊，这事关乎到全局，你掂量着办吧。”普天成模棱两可给了汪明阳一句，他在“全局”两个字上特意加重了语调，他相信汪明阳不会傻到连“全局”也不懂。 汪明阳果然聪明，又说了几句，忽然神秘地问：“秘书长，这事老板没怪你吧？” 普天成自然知道老板是指谁，但他憎恶这种称呼，不是每个人都能用“老板”来称呼的，瀚林书记尤其烦这种称呼。有次路波省长无意中这样称呼了一声，瀚林书记当下黑下脸，质问路波：“你刚才说什么？”吓得路波脸色都变了。普天成跟了宋瀚林这么久，还从没敢用这种不恭不敬的称呼。省里就是省里，不是市，也不是县，你在县上称县长老板，他可能高兴得咧嘴，但这样称呼一个省委书记，就是你太没有原则了。 “汪副局长，我希望你这是最后一次！”普天成口气很冲地警告了一句汪明阳，啪地合了电话。 自己身边，怎么尽是这种货色呢，这可不是一个好兆头啊。普天成突然忧心忡忡。一个人政治生命的变故或终结，往往不是来自你个人的不谨慎，不成熟，你身边的人，你提携了的下属，都有可能在某一天突然地成为杀手！ 还教父呢，亏你这么些年处心积虑！ 这个下午，朱天彪终于来到海州。他打电话给普天成：“哥，我到了，是到家里还是……”听见朱天彪的声音，普天成的心连着响了几下，身上的血流突然就加快，一股久违了的亲切感汹涌而至，他被另一团火燃烧着，差点激动得把手里的电话丢下去。“天彪，你怎么……才来啊，哥……”普天成嗓子哽咽了，里面堵了一团东西，呜呜咽咽。 “哥，那边出了点事，耽搁了几天。”朱天彪说。 “事情大不，处理得怎么样了？”普天成问。 “不是太大，都处理妥当了。”朱天彪说。普天成哦了一声，思忖片刻，道：“我们还是在老地方见面吧，家里，这些天……有点乱。” 朱天彪嗯了一声：“那好，我等你。” 天色将暗的时候，普天成来到白云宾馆。白云宾馆跟往日一样，此时正是入住的高峰，人来人往，显得生意十分火爆。普天成却觉得，今天的白云宾馆有点异样，好像比平时多了份亲切。大堂经理对他很熟悉，迈着婀娜的步子走过来，笑吟吟问了声首长好。普天成点点头，四下瞅了一眼，问：“客人安排好了么？” “朱先生住在十三楼，1318房间，我带您上去。” 普天成说：“不用了，你忙你的，我自己上去。” 大堂经理也不好硬送他上去，她了解普天成的脾气，他不情愿的事，你要是做了，你的这份工作就没了。更加后怕的是，要是惹恼了他，这辈子都不可能再找到好的工作。她矜持地笑了笑，为普天成摁开电梯：“首长慢走，有什么需要，请尽管吩咐。”普天成没再说话，只是意味深长地瞅了一眼大堂经理。 看到朱天彪的那一刻，普天成眼里是有东西的，这东西湿扑扑的，似泪，但绝不是泪。那是一种感情酿成的水，亲情发酵的酒，是上帝专门馈赠给他们这些人的一种特殊的眼“液”。朱天彪也是一样，尽管他看上去比普天成凶悍得多，也粗莽得多，见了普天成，他眼里还是有一股湿在涌动。 “哥。”朱天彪唤了一声。 普天成狠狠地捣了他一拳：“你小子，平常连个电话都不打。” 朱天彪憨厚地笑了笑：“不是你不让我打么。” 普天成呵呵笑出了声：“行啊，现在懂事了，家里都还好吧。” “托哥的福，都好。”
