Chapter 9 Chapter Nine flexibly uses the rules of light and shade to resolve the crisis invisible
It turned out afterwards that sending Li Yuan to Guanghuai was a conscious choice.He not only quelled the storm quickly, but also shook Geng Minghuang, an unshakable tree in the eyes of the people of Guanghuai.This is all thanks to Pu Tiancheng.If it weren't for his sentence: "Don't use the people under your nose, why should you look far away?" Remind Song Hanlin, Song Hanlin didn't know how much hesitation he would make about the specific candidate.Song Hanlin realized once again that he cannot live without Pu Tiancheng in Haidong.
Thinking of this level, Song Hanlin felt a layer of guilt. He knew that Pu Tiancheng had opinions on him, but he couldn't express this opinion.He kept wanting to explain to Pu Tiancheng, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them all.What to explain, saying that there is nothing between him and Qiao Ruoxuan, it is all rumors, making trouble out of nothing, please don't believe it.Is such an explanation useful? Will Pu Tiancheng believe it?It gets darker and darker!It's better to maintain the status quo, say nothing, and let this speculation and jealousy remain among them.
Between people, how can there be no guesswork?When it comes to jealousy, that's another matter. Song Hanlin is often jealous of Pu Tiancheng, what a woman, he is not satisfied with letting him marry him, and has made so many flirtatious things.If it wasn't for his strong protection, he might have been ruined by the woman long ago.
A woman is an impenetrable hurdle!No matter how high your status is and how much power you have, even if you are as big as him, when you meet a woman you like, it will be difficult to let go.It's hard, Song Hanlin couldn't help thinking of Qiao Ruoxuan again, this woman who shouldn't appear in his life.
This time, he completely offended her.
It's okay, it's better to break it later than to break it early, if it continues, the wife really can't justify it.I don't know who is talking too much, but actually said such things that shouldn't be said in his wife's ears. Song Hanlin became annoyed when he thought about it.
The case of Tang Xiaojuan jumping from the building was quickly and decisively responded by the Provincial Party Committee. The Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee quickly reposted the decision of the Provincial Party Committee on the Haidong government website, which immediately aroused strong reactions among netizens.Netizens praised Haidong Province's actions one after another, saying that the Provincial Party Committee does not protect or protect, and dares to take real actions against bad teams.What was originally unfavorable to the provincial party committee suddenly became beneficial.Secretary Hanlin was very happy.Of course, some netizens were dissatisfied and strongly demanded that the Haidong Provincial Party Committee continue to investigate and investigate the case to the bottom.Pu Tiancheng seized this opportunity and once again advised Song Hanlin that he should not give up halfway, but must win the greatest satisfaction from the netizens, so that the image of the Haidong Provincial Party Committee would not collapse.At the same time, he suggested that this incident should be combined with the ongoing party style and party spirit education activities to rebuild momentum.Song Hanlin was worried that he couldn't find a new breakthrough. Hearing that this suggestion was good, he quickly issued instructions to use Tang Xiaojuan's case as a living teaching material to start a new discussion among the cadres in the whole province.
As soon as this move was made, Ma Chaoran knew that it would be very difficult to protect Du Hanwu.He said to a deputy director of the National People's Congress in frustration: "This is called lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot. It's only because he doesn't take others seriously." The deputy director of the National People's Congress was also very depressed. , his life will be darkened, they are grasshoppers tied to a rope.After a long time, he regretted and said: "I reminded him long ago, don't fight against Qiao Ruoxuan, he just doesn't listen, he just uses his own way, this kind of person can't be a great weapon."
Qiao Ruoxuan is back.Pu Tiancheng originally thought that Qiao Ruoxuan would definitely make a big fuss and quarrel with him, but this time Qiao Ruoxuan was uncharacteristically, she locked herself at home and did not contact anyone outside. Apart from doing housework, she just hid Read a book in the study.Pu Tiancheng has also turned down all social engagements these days, and goes home after work. Qiao Ruoxuan will prepare meals early and wait for him. The couple did not communicate much during the meal. For the storm that is happening in Haidong, Qiao Ruoxuan seems to be Not interested in anything, neither inquiring nor asking.Pu Tiancheng was deeply disturbed by this, what happened to Qiao Ruoxuan?
At night, the couple took a shower and went to bed. Pu Tiancheng couldn't fall asleep, and Qiao Ruoxuan naturally couldn't sleep either. The two talked a few words, but Qiao Ruoxuan still didn't ask Pu Tiancheng, how is Guanghuai doing?Pu Tiancheng was frightened for a while. Could it be that she was stimulated and there was something wrong with her mind?But he didn't dare to bring it up. With the deepening of the investigation, Tang Xiaojuan's case has drawn a lot more. The Commission for Discipline Inspection has taken double-regulatory measures against Du Hanwu. Hua Xiangming also revealed that if the investigation continues, Du Hanwu may not be the only one involved.Pu Tiancheng was worried that his wife would have some problems, but he thought it was impossible.According to Qiao Ruoxuan's personality, she would not be in the same boat as Du Hanwu.
Pu Tiancheng turned over and forced himself to fall asleep, Qiao Ruoxuan suddenly lifted his quilt, slid in like a fish, hugged him with two very soft arms, and "stroked" him.Pu Tiancheng spasmed, he couldn't stand Qiao Ruoxuan's tenderness.Since their marriage, the husband and wife seem to have never been tender. The things between the couple are all done according to the prescribed actions. They seem to have no emotion when they make love, and they do it mechanically.Over the years, as the status of the two has risen, there have been fewer and fewer things between husband and wife. All Putiancheng's memories of tenderness between men and women come from other women, especially Jin Man, who almost treats Putian like a mentor. has a special meaning.Pu Tiancheng sometimes feels deep guilt, feeling that he has failed his wife and made her unable to experience the joy of being a wife and a woman, but when he meets Qiao Ruoxuan's stiff and proud face, his guilt is immediately overwhelmed. Replaced by something else.He cheated with other women, so he had to say that there was no motive for revenge.
Qiao Ruoxuan is still going on, with her warm body leaning over, two breasts in good shape are playing on his chest, making some chaotic and enthusiastic sounds, Pu Tiancheng is about to be infected, his body follows Qiao Ruoxuan The enthusiasm gradually changed, feeling hot and firm.Qiao Ruoxuan obviously noticed his change, and attacked him in a more provocative way.He finally couldn't stand the cold, hugged her hard, and pressed her down.
They did it twice that night, Pu Tiancheng only remembered that they did it twice after they got married, and after that, they never had that passion again.Now, the enthusiasm suddenly returned, but Pu Tiancheng clearly felt that he had distracting thoughts just now, and the second time, he thought of Jin Man, his Jin Man.
Qiao Ruoxuan seemed very satisfied, and soon fell asleep soundly, leaving Pu Tiancheng staring at the roof with wide-eyed eyes.
Nothing on the roof.
His Jin Man is in another city.
Wang Mingyang told Pu Tiancheng that a major breakthrough had been made in the investigation of the case, and that Minghuang Nightclub was indeed a den of prostitution. Geng Minghuang used his own world to adopt various means to coerce or lure underage girls to provide them with special hobbies. sexual services.
"We found a black notebook from Geng Minghuang's safe, which recorded in detail the list of clients who came to him to prostitute children over the years, including..."
"Who is there?"
"There is Secretary Du Han and Wu Du."
"He likes this too?" Pu Tiancheng was shocked, how could people be so shameless now!
Wang Mingyang smiled: "Don't be surprised, it's a good thing he's not the only one who takes a bite, there are many. What is it called? Yes, it's the heartbeat."
"Heartbeat? I think they are all perverts!" Pu Tiancheng cursed, and then asked: "Who else is involved?" Pu Tiancheng seemed to have a kind of expectation in his heart, especially wanting to hear a person's name.
Wang Mingyang knew what he was thinking, and he really wanted to find out about that person, but he had to tell Pu Tiancheng disappointedly: "We checked all the evidence, but we didn't find that that person had any relationship with Du Hanwu."
No relationship?The hope that was burning in Pu Tiancheng's heart was extinguished again, and he lowered his head as if discouraged and did not speak.
"Geng Minghuang is a pervert. He recorded all the people who came to him to have fun. We found a total of twelve CDs, two of which were dedicated to leading cadres. Nanhuai Xu Zhaohu was also in it." Wang Mingyang said again.
"Xu Zhaohu?" Pu Tiancheng once again stared at Wang Mingyang in surprise, this is outrageous, how could Xu Zhaohu go to Guanghuai to have fun?
"It's Xu Zhaohu, this one will never be wrong, and I dare not be wrong." Wang Mingyang swore, seeing that Pu Tiancheng still didn't believe it, he said again: "We have controlled Geng Minghuang's lover Fang Geer, and Minghuang Nightclub is run by her." Take care, this woman confessed that many guests of Minghuang Nightclub were brought by a real estate owner named Li Baisheng. Although Li Baisheng's Parkson Group headquarters is in Guanghuai, a large amount of business is in Nanhuai and Jidong. "
Li Baisheng is of course known to Pu Tiancheng. He is also a well-known entrepreneur in Haidong Province. Parkson Group ranks among the top 20 private enterprises in the province. project, but also used other means.
Such an explanation seems reasonable.Pu Tiancheng's darkened heart gradually brightened. Although the person he was looking forward to did not appear, it was a good thing that Xu Zhaohu could be involved in it.He said to Wang Mingyang, "Have you reported it to the Commission for Discipline Inspection?"
Wang Mingyang shook his head: "I just obtained important evidence, and I will be the first one to report to you."
"Well, for now, you should block the news first, and don't disclose it to the outside world, but the investigation cannot stop, and more evidence must be obtained."
Wang Mingyang took the order to leave, but Pu Tiancheng's heart was in a mess.It stands to reason that this is a perfect opportunity. The juvenile prostitution case has always been a sword hanging over Xu Zhaohu and others. Some time ago, discipline clearly intervened, but then stopped for no apparent reason.Pu Tiancheng never found out the real reason why the Commission for Discipline Inspection did not continue the investigation. He suspected that someone above must have said something, otherwise, Secretary Hanlin would not let go of such a good opportunity.If that's the case, even if the evidence obtained now is exposed, Xu Zhaohu and others are afraid that there is nothing they can do.Because this case was caused by Geng Minghuang, it is impossible for relevant parties to let it spread endlessly.
what to do?If you can't do it to a dead end, you might as well not do it.He is not reconciled if he does not do it, and he is not allowed not to do many things.If he doesn't do it, others may do it the other way around.That's how it is in the officialdom. Don't look at the fact that everyone is flattering and flattering each other, but there are knives hidden behind their backs.Praise in respect, set up an ambush while praising, and wait for an opportunity while ambush.Once the opportunity comes, I am afraid that few people will be relentless.After thinking about it, Pu Tiancheng still focused on the Internet. Yes, only the Internet can drive everyone into a dead end.
Another two days later, a post about the prostitution case in Haidong appeared on a well-known domestic forum. The poster claimed that he was a waiter at Minghuang Nightclub in Guanghuai, and he had a lot of news about Minghuang Nightclub to be exposed. .This post didn't attract much attention when it first appeared. Nowadays, there are too many people who are playing tricks on the Internet, but a day later, this post was reposted on more than a dozen other websites, and some people even commented that they were willing to pay a high price. Acquire what is in the owner's hands.
Pu Tiancheng was secretly happy. It seemed that the other party was also paying close attention to the Internet, which proved that they were also afraid of the Internet.So, he called Hu Bing: "Proceed with the plan."
In just two days, the prostitution incident, which had been forgotten by the netizens, suddenly became a hot topic again. material.Pu Tiancheng also crawled on the Internet this day. The computer at home has never been used since Lu Xiaohui left. He specially asked his secretary to call someone to rebuild the system, and then registered a network name called Tianxingdao. Go online seriously.When he found out that Hu Bing had re-edited, processed and posted the video of Xu Zhaohu ripped from the CD as planned, he let out a long breath of anger.
Xu Zhaohu, this time, no one will be able to protect you!
Sure enough, the next day, Minister Ye of the Propaganda Department found him, and said as if he was in a hurry: "What's wrong with this network, why are you so focused on Haidong?"
Pu Tiancheng pretended not to know anything and said: "On the Internet, you should believe what you should believe, and what you shouldn't believe, you really can't believe it. We can't always let the Internet lead us by the nose, and become more passive as we go."
"It's good to be able to think that way, but Tian Cheng, this time, I'm afraid someone has ulterior motives."
"What happened again, didn't it mean that negative voices have been suppressed?"
"Which thing is that?" Minister Ye almost made Pu Tiancheng's idiot laugh out loud. After a long time, he didn't even figure out anything. "Tian Cheng, don't you go online? I advise you to go online if you have time. It's okay for others not to pay attention to the Internet. As the secretary-general, if you don't pay attention, you can't justify it. Didn't the higher authorities also advocate that we learn about people's conditions and opinions from the Internet? A while ago, The prime minister is still talking to netizens online."
Pu Tiancheng saw that Minister Ye was serious, and took advantage of the situation and said: "I have remembered the teaching of the Minister, and I must spend more time surfing the Internet in the future." "How dare you teach me, I am also very annoyed by the Internet." Minister Ye sighed, and said: "This time, they opened up the prostitute door again."
"You whore, can't you?" Putiancheng's expression changed: "Isn't that a long time ago?"
"I thought it was over, but it just didn't. Look at those posts on the Internet. It's ten times, a hundred times more violent than Guanghuai's incident a few days ago."
"Really? Why can't I hear any information? It seems that I am really lagging behind." Putiancheng pretended to be surprised and said that it was almost the same, and then said: "By the way, Minister Ye, this time we have an opposite As the saying goes, some people want to use the Internet to create chaos and force us into a dead end, but we just don’t go in, let’s ignore it, let’s see what waves it can create?”
Minister Ye smiled wryly and said: "My secretary-general, the wind and waves are about to overturn Haidong, and you still say you don't care about it, but it's too late for me now. To tell you the truth, Secretary Hanlin is very annoyed by this matter. We are ordered to quell the storm immediately to prevent the situation from further expanding, but the Internet is a scourge, and it is so fierce that I can't calm it down even if I want to."
Pu Tiancheng secretly laughed, he was waiting for this sentence, he was afraid that Secretary Hanlin would not respond, no matter how loud the Internet was, if Secretary Hanlin did not respond, it would be tantamount to idleness.As long as Secretary Hanlin loses his temper, half of the success will be achieved.He stared at Minister Ye's tired face, and suddenly felt a little sympathetic.Minister Ye is older than him, and he has no discernment. He used to do theoretical research, but then he started his official career somehow.Although he is now on the Standing Committee and the ranking is still ahead of him, Pu Tiancheng always feels that he should not take this path.Not everyone can walk this road. For some people, it is a golden road, but for some people, it is not even as good as a narrow path.Even though he was thinking so in his heart, he still said solemnly: "Mr. Ye, forgive me for being helpless. With so many things happening in succession, I don't know if this secretary-general can continue to work."
"How can you be so pessimistic? You are in the golden season. Work hard." Minister Ye was completely fooled by Pu Tiancheng and took up so much of Pu Tiancheng's time. He was a little embarrassed and patted Pu Tiancheng on the shoulder: "Okay Now, don't bother you, if you come up with a good idea, please let me know, I'm really burnt out now."
After Minister Ye left, Pu Tiancheng stared at the Tao statue for a long time, and then suddenly laughed out loud.He is becoming more and more like an actor now, he can act well in any play, if he continues to act like this, maybe he can really play a provincial party secretary.Pu Tiancheng thought of a very interesting incident. When his daughter Pu Qiao was young, about the third grade, one day he and his wife Qiao Ruoxuan were watching Haidong news, and a picture of the secretary of the provincial party committee planting trees appeared on TV. Pu Qiao glanced at it. Say, Dad, that grandpa doesn't look like an actor, isn't he an actor?Pu Tiancheng was taken aback by his daughter's words, and then said with a smile, that grandfather is the secretary of the province, not an actor, remember it.Pu Qiao blinked his eyes and said naively, then what is he doing on the TV?Pu Qiao stopped Pu Tiancheng in one sentence, but Qiao Ruoxuan responded quickly. She said to her daughter: "The people on TV are not all acting, but some are real." Pu Qiao immediately refuted: "Which is real, then Grandpa is obviously acting, how can you plant trees like that."
Acting, in fact, everyone is acting, it depends on who can act realistically and wonderfully.Thinking of this, he took the materials and went to Secretary Hanlin's office.
Secretary Hanlin was talking with Xiang Huaming, when they saw Pu Tiancheng, the two stopped talking.
"Is there something wrong?" Secretary Hanlin asked.
"The work arrangement for the third stage of party style and party spirit education has been arranged, please review it with the secretary." Putiancheng said.
"Let's put it down." Secretary Hanlin said, and turned his gaze to Hua Xiangming again.Pu Tiancheng seemed to have been left out in the cold, and was about to leave when Secretary Hanlin asked: "By the way, Tiancheng, how is Ruoxuan doing recently?"
"I'm absent-minded all day long, and I don't go out, just stay at home."
"This is not good. The Central Party School has given me two places for short-term training for two months. Go back and discuss it with Ruoxuan. If she has no objections, let her go to the Party School to study for a while."
"Thank you secretary." Pu Tiancheng saw that Secretary Hanlin had no intention of letting him stay any longer, so he had to turn around and come out.
When Qiao Ruoxuan heard that Song Hanlin asked her to study at the Central Party School, she immediately became excited.She had thought that her political career had come to an end, but unexpectedly, Secretary Hanlin was still thinking about her.Think about it too, why don't you worry about it?Thinking of this, Qiao Ruoxuan became excited. That night, she took the initiative to reward Pu Tiancheng once again. Strangely, the shadow of Secretary Hanlin popped up in her mind again and again during the heated conversation between the two. It was blurry, and later, later, it became a picture. In the painting, she was running in an alley, holding two popsicles in her hand, chasing and shouting: "Brother Hanlin, brother Hanlin..."
Early the next morning, Qiao Ruoxuan came to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, Minister He Ping personally met her, the two talked for more than an hour, Qiao Ruoxuan came out excitedly, the sad face of these days was no longer visible on her face.Qiao Ruoxuan originally wanted to sit in Secretary Hanlin's office for a while, but then thought, let's forget it, so as not to cause other topics.
A week later, Qiao Ruoxuan and Huang Liying, chairman of the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions, embarked on a journey to Beijing.
Pu Tiancheng was full of disappointment in the prostitution incident, and he was full of disappointment. Although Hu Bing and others were still working hard, Haidong's senior management showed great restraint this time. Once like that, what decisive action to make.Secretary Hanlin never mentioned this matter in front of Pu Tiancheng, which made Pu Tiancheng even more uneasy.Just when he was considering whether to fan the flames again in front of Secretary Hanlin, Secretary Hanlin took Hua Xiangming to Beijing instead.
Putian's heart, which was always gloomy, became even more gloomy.As soon as Qiao Ruoxuan left, Secretary Hanlin followed, it was not clear, did it make him feel uncomfortable?Thinking about Qiao Ruoxuan's meekness a few days ago, Pu Tiancheng suddenly felt that he had been cheated.Qiao Ruoxuan was pretending, the purpose was to make him feel guilty, and then went to Secretary Hanlin to run around for her.
This woman!
Throughout the afternoon, Pu Tiancheng locked himself in the office, not wanting to do anything, unable to do anything, and only two faces appeared repeatedly in his mind.These two faces were once so kind, but now they have become ferocious and terrifying.The secretary came in several times, and seeing him standing in front of the window, he didn't dare to disturb him, and went out quietly.The phone on the table rang, and the cell phone rang again and again, but Pu Tiancheng didn't bother to answer it.He has never been so confused before. No matter what happened before, he always had confidence in his heart and a high fighting spirit inspired him.But this time, he seemed to be crushed by something, and he couldn't cheer up anymore.
What's wrong with me, how can I be disturbed by the two of them, I shouldn't.Pu Tiancheng wanted to get rid of the two faces, never to harass or bully him again, but he just couldn't get rid of them.Later, another face popped up in his mind, fresh, charming, and affectionate, exuding an indescribable charm.He ran over, picked up the mobile phone on the table, and sure enough, he never saw Qiu Yanni's number on the phone.
Pu Tiancheng suddenly became excited, which was never before. He immediately called back, and Qiu Yanni's soft voice quickly came from the phone: "Secretary General, I have been calling you, but no one answered."
Panting, Pu Tiancheng said, "I was in a meeting just now, so it's inconvenient to pick up."
"That's right, I thought I offended the Secretary-General somewhere, and I was so scared that I was in no mood to do anything."
"How could it be? It's really a meeting. It's an urgent matter. The discussion is over."
Qiu Yanni let out a long breath over there, and it was conceivable that she really thought too much.Following this gasp, Pu Tiancheng's heart also calmed down, not beating as fast as before. "What do you need from me?" He asked Qiu Yanni.Qiu Yanni said: "There is nothing urgent. It has been a long time. I miss the Secretary-General a little bit, and I want to sit with the Secretary-General."
Thinking of a word made Putian's heart jump wildly, his face became hot, and he felt that his body had changed.He suppressed the joy in his heart, tried to put his voice on the usual rhythm, and said, "Okay, there are no arrangements for tonight, tell me, where is it?"
Qiu Yanni thought for a while and said, "Let's stick to the old place, the old place is interesting."
Qiu Yanni's ambiguous tone made Putian even more distracted, and he couldn't wait for the moment of meeting.Putting down the phone, he realized that it was absurd, he forced himself to calm down, and asked in his heart over and over again, is it right for me to do this, will it?
There is nothing inappropriate, they can do it all, why should I bother?Pu Tiancheng comforted himself like this, locked the door from the inside, opened the cabinet, and several beautiful fashion bags appeared in front of his eyes.Qiu Yanni is really a caring woman. The last time she dated Pu Tiancheng, she noticed Pu Tiancheng's embarrassment in dressing, so she quietly brought a few sets of men's clothing from Hong Kong, and gave them to Pu Tiancheng by giving Song Hanlin the opportunity to report on her work. inside.Pu Tiancheng was very excited at the time. For so many years, no woman had chosen clothes for him, including his wife Qiao Ruoxuan.The clothes he wore were either bought by the secretary for him, or they were given away during official activities.Pu Tiancheng hid the clothes in the closet with a luxurious mood. Later, he wanted to wear them a few times, but he always felt that wearing such clothes was too eye-catching and did not suit his identity.The identity of a person is sometimes cumbersome. It makes people unable to let go of everything and must restrain themselves.Sometimes Pu Tiancheng envies those who have no identity, they live a free and happy life, and they don't think about the impact of everything they do.People like them are different. Before they do something, they have to think about it in their minds. Is it suitable for their identity?Putiancheng has a classmate in high school, that guy is handsome, 1.85 meters tall, big, with natural curly hair, he fascinated many girls in high school.Pretty people generally don't study well, both girls and boys.That guy dropped out of high school when he was a sophomore because he made the most proud girl in the class pregnant. The girl's father works in a local area, and his level is similar to that of Pu Tiancheng's father.There was a lot of trouble at the time. Some people said that the guy might go to jail, and the students were also worried about him.But then it was calm and nothing happened.It turned out that the girl was protesting with her father, and if she dared to go with her boyfriend, she would die for the whole family to see.It was ten years later when Pu Tiancheng saw this guy again.Once when he was on a business trip in the provincial capital, his car broke down and he had to take a taxi, but he happened to sit in a classmate's car.Among the classmates back then, one became the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and the other started renting out. The gap in life made Pu Tiancheng very uncomfortable.But that guy didn't care, he happily talked to Pu Tiancheng about the things among his classmates. Pu Tiancheng thought that he married the daughter of that high-ranking official, but he poohed: "Marry her, I'm out of my mind, why should I marry her?" She, wants me to be a slave for the rest of my life?" Pu Tiancheng learned later that that guy married a woman who was eight years younger than him, and his wife was under eighteen years old when he got married.
"Humans, life is such a joyful energy, if the joyful energy is gone, what else is there to live for?"
Pu Tiancheng still feels sorry for others, no matter what, it is not a happy thing to live to drive a taxi.The guy turned around to persuade Pu Tiancheng: "Think about it, life is too short, you should live happily. You may think that I am inferior now, but that is your idea. Let me tell you how I was more than ten years ago." , How are you doing now. If you earn money, you will find a woman who is pleasing to you, and if you can’t earn money, let the woman who is pleasing to me support me. Don’t think that you are a deputy secretary, a living person, I’m afraid you will not be as happy as me.”
That was the most vivid class that Pu Tiancheng had ever heard in his life. For a long time, the faces of his classmates flashed in front of his eyes, especially when he wanted to do something but was so scruples about his identity that he dared not do it. It became a mirror that made him feel ashamed.
After get off work, Pu Tiancheng dismissed the driver and took a taxi to Hong Kong Dragon.Qiu Yanni had been waiting there for a long time, and when she saw Pu Tiancheng, her eyes lit up, and she said sincerely, "I've never seen the secretary-general so energetic, he's so handsome." Pu Tiancheng blushed slightly, somewhat uncomfortable.Qiu Yanni laughed and said, "People are like clothes and horses and saddles. I thought this was just for those who had no status and status. I didn't expect that this is the truth, and it is also the truth if you put it on anyone. The Secretary-General is dressed like this. It’s really not the same.”
"Why doesn't it look like that?" Pu Tiancheng looked at Qiu Yanni, in his eyes, Qiu Yanni is also very beautiful today, no, not only beautiful, but also has a special taste.
"Do you have to tell me, don't you know if you look in the mirror?" Qiu Yanni smiled, and a pair of eyes revealed a sense of wonder.Pu Tiancheng seemed to be burned by that gaze, and hurriedly avoided it.
After the two sat down, Qiu Yanni said, "You don't look like a leader today, but rather..."
"Like what?" Pu Tiancheng asked while admiring Qiu Yanni.
"You are a gentleman who came out to have an affair."
In a word, the faces of both of them turned red.Not the kind of natural red, nor astringent red, but the kind of red the sun reflects on the maple tree.Pu Tiancheng coughed to cover himself.Qiu Yanni was generous, she opened her mouth and continued to tease Pu Tiancheng.
The meal was quite enjoyable.Happiness is sometimes a state of mind. Pu Tiancheng has always been timid in front of Qiu Yanni, maintaining the manner of a gentleman, but today he put aside all this manner, it is really like a tryst with a lover.Qiu Yanni was infected by his emotions, and every cell in her body became active.She was already full of allure, but when Pu Tiancheng encouraged her like this, she became a fire of desire. Several times, Pu Tiancheng almost couldn't grasp it, almost...
At the critical moment, Secretary Hanlin's shadow jumped out again. This time, his face was cold and full of evil spirits.The fire on Pu Tiancheng's body was instantly extinguished, and his heart also became cold.Oops!He said bitterly.The voice was too loud, which scared Qiu Yanni.Qiu Yanni asked: "What's the matter?" Pu Tiancheng shook his head angrily, and made an effort to drive away, but it was of no avail. The shadow had been firmly hidden in a certain dark place in his heart, and it would jump out at a critical moment scare him.Pu Tiancheng knew that in this life, he would not be able to get rid of it.
It is a bit cruel for a story that is likely to be lingering to be interrupted like this.When the two parted, Pu Tiancheng clearly saw that there was a sparkle in Qiu Yanni's eyes, which flowed from her heart, like a flower that was blooming brilliantly when it was suddenly broken, or like a lamb in heat was brutally castrated.In short, that thing was related to his incompetence. At this moment, he saw blood.
Pu Tiancheng walked down the street in a dispirited mood. The night lights in Haizhou were blurry and the neon lights were flickering. The men and women vented their excess love and flesh on the street. The luxuriously decorated nightclubs looked like "prostitutes" wearing heavy makeup. Open your bloody mouth wide and swallow the people who are eager to vent.Putian is like a drowning man, he feels that he can't survive the night, he has to keep running to get his confused soul back to the shore.
This time Pu Tiancheng miscalculated the situation and wronged Song Hanlin.When Song Hanlin and Hua Xiangming came to Beijing, they made a special trip to report on Haidong's work.So many things happened in Haidong one after another, which made Song Hanlin aware of his crisis.Song Hanlin is a smart person, he always knows how to weigh the pros and cons.The rekindled fire on the Internet not only made Haidong the focus of national attention again, but also made the word prostitution the most popular word on the Internet.As long as you turn on the Internet, these three words will pop out from every corner, and you can't stop them.Officials prostitution, how irritating it is, those netizens crawl on the Internet day and night, waiting for the latest news to feed their hungry eyes.There are also netizens who launched a human flesh search, vowing to strip these utterly conscientious people and expose them to the eyes of everyone.So Xu Zhaohu's photo was posted on the Internet, and the video of Zhu Jinwen's report at the Integrity Conference was also posted. Later, Du Hanwu, and later, some leaders of provincial departments and bureaus were also pulled online by troublemakers.These people were so respectable, orthodox, and full of sense of justice on the rostrum, but in the hands of netizens, they all turned into stinky shit overnight.
The good thing is that as soon as the prostitution incident became popular, the interest of netizens immediately shifted. A few days ago, there were many rumors about the Guanghuai Jumping from a Building, which had a momentum of not giving up, but suddenly no one cared about it.Only then did Song Hanlin realize that the Internet is the place where people love the new and dislike the old the most, and it is also the place where they love to make things worse.After discovering this secret, he immediately summoned Minister Ye and signaled that the province would no longer give positive guidance to the incident of prostitutes: "Let's focus on building the party's work style and let the Internet lead us by the nose. He will become more and more passive." Minister Ye was at a loss, two days ago Secretary Hanlin got angry at him, saying that the Internet was not doing enough to quell chaos, and the work was ineffective, so why today?After thinking about it, Pu Tiancheng's words must have played a role.That's right, how could Pu Tiancheng's words not work?
After instructing Minister Ye, Song Hanlin called Hua Xiangming again, and the two decided to go to Beijing for a self-criticism.There are two types of self-criticism. One is that one has truly done something wrong and must self-criticize and be prepared to accept punishment.The other type is that no one will say that you did something wrong, but you must first have an attitude. As long as you express your attitude early, no matter what happens in the future, you will have the upper hand.Obviously, Song Hanlin and Hua Xiangming belong to the latter.
Before the knot in Pu Tiancheng's heart disappeared, Song Hanlin and Hua Xiangming returned.This time, Haidong's situation changed immediately.The reason why Song Hanlin was hesitant about the prostitution incident and never took decisive measures was because he was afraid that the scope of the attack would be too large. Judging from the secret investigation of the Commission for Discipline Inspection in the previous stage, the prostitution incident was not all involved. Two of them, and at least ten leading cadres have had bad deeds in this area. Song Hanlin is afraid to deal with so many people.He has not been in the provincial party committee for less than a year. It is the time when we need to unite everyone. It is also necessary to deal with one or two people properly. He really does not have the courage to deal with so many people.What's more, the matter can't be passed by simply dealing with it, it will leave sequelae, and it will haunt you endlessly.Song Hanlin didn't want to get stuck in it. If he got stuck, why don't he do other jobs?Second, Song Hanlin also hoped that Xu Zhaohu and the others could hear some rumors and wake up from the rumors immediately. This is the best ending.Officialdom cannot be without struggle, and without struggle, it is not called officialdom, but there are ways to quell officialdom struggles, and those who know current affairs are heroes, and as a person in officialdom, it is impossible to understand this.But Xu Zhaohu disappointed him, why is this person so mentally handicapped?He really couldn't understand how Comrade Yuhao could fall in love with such a person back then!
Now Song Hanlin is not afraid. He has explained the situation clearly to the relevant ministries and commissions. These things are left by his predecessor, and he doesn't want to deal with them, but he can't help himself if he doesn't deal with them.Moreover, Song Hanlin uttered the most crucial sentence after that: "And they colluded with the evil forces in an attempt to make the mountain bigger. Song Hanlin was fully prepared to say this. He came from a certain channel I learned that the central government is planning a people's war to fight against evil and evil. This war will set off another storm on the land of China. The fruits of reform will be firmly in the hands of the people, let the people fully share, and let the common people fully enjoy The sunshine of the peaceful and prosperous age is the ultimate goal of this battle against evil. With this, Song Hanlin can speak easily. Sure enough, the higher-ups were very satisfied with what they heard, and expressed their firm support for the Haidong Provincial Committee to take the lead in eradicating these evils Power, to restore peace to the common people. Those who use their power to collude with the evil forces will be severely punished.
The Provincial Party Committee held two meetings in a row. At both meetings, Song Hanlin lost his temper. Especially the second time, when Ma Chaolin defended Xu Zhaohu, saying that the prostitution incident was completely unfounded, someone fabricated it out of thin air, and deliberately framed us.的干部时，宋瀚林用力将水杯放桌上：“超然同志，我们都是党的高级干部，我们是要保护同志，但不能无原则地保护。发生在海东的这些事，让我们痛心，如果我们不查个水落石出，不给人民一个满意的交待，我们怎能对得住手中的权力，又怎能对得住人民的殷殷期望？”
就这样，两次激烈的争锋后，一场声势浩大的战役打响了。不到一周时间，徐兆虎，朱锦文，杜汉武等人相继被双规，纪委成立了庞大的专案小组，省高检，省公安厅联合行动，普天成期望已久的日子终于来到。
人逢喜事精神爽，普天成尽管没逢着喜事，但看到顽固的对手们一个个落网，他比自己得到提拔还快乐。可惜的是，这些快乐只能掩藏在心里，面子上，他还得学别的领导，装出一副沉痛样。毕竟，这么多干部栽跟斗，对省里来讲，不是一件体面事。
这天他从桃园开完会，回到自己办公室，意外碰到了秦怀舟。秦怀舟在孙涛书记考察完海东不久，就从乡下调到了省城，目前在海州市永定区担任专职副书记。人就是这样，有时候机会苦求不得，有时候机会也会从天上掉下来。孙涛书记到海东视察，等于就是白给了秦怀舟一个机会，当然，也是他识时务，圆满完成了普天成交付给的工作。不但拣了一个副书记，还把跟普天成的关系，也意外修复了。
“是怀舟啊。”普天成远远就跟秦怀舟打起招呼。
秦怀舟受宠若惊，赶忙弯下身子，热情道：“秘书长好。”
“怎么站在楼道里？”普天成又问。
秦怀舟说：“我到政法委汇报完工作，想过来看望秘书长，不巧门锁着。”
普天成呵呵笑了两声，打开门，让秦怀舟先进。秦怀舟哪敢先进，敢忙将普天成手里的材料接住，学以前侍候孙涛书记一样，恭恭敬敬侍候普天成进了办公室。
“怎么样，工作还顺利吧？”
“顺利，一切都顺利，谢谢秘书长关心。”秦怀舟就将自己在永定区的工作简单汇报了一番。普天成听后很满意，更满意的，是秦怀舟现在的态度。为官者从来不嫌自己身边人多，在瀚林书记发起的这场战役中，普天成算是大获全胜，不但成功将徐兆虎等人置于死地，而且还将自己的力量一个个扶持了起来。前几天，省委组织部又提拔了一批干部，胡兵被安排在了吉东市政府副秘书长的位子上，王静育顺利当上了广怀市副市长。就连马效林，也挡不住地实现了他的夙愿。李源被正式任命为广怀市委书记，在考察市长人选时，组织部提了好几个人选，结果不是瀚林书记不满意，就是路波省长有意见，最后何平提出了马效林。普天成立马反对，路波笑着说：“这个人选我看合适，当然，天成同志说的也有道理，不过我们看一个同志还是要看主流，效林同志尽管尚欠成熟，但他对党的事业忠诚，在吉东副书记的位子上，勤勤恳恳，任劳任怨，在复杂的环境中牢牢把握住了自己，不容易啊。”路波一番话，算是给马效林做了定论。马效林到广怀后，吉东空出的位子，自然就让路波提出的人选占了。
这也很正常，来而不往非礼也。路波能明智地把别人推到一把手位子上，只让自己看中的人做副职，已经很不容易。
普天成心想，能扶上去的，他已扶了上去，接下来，就该物色或培育新的力量了。这么想着，他笑眯眯地盯住秦怀舟，以前他对秦怀舟有误解，主要也是秦怀舟跟马超然走得太近，现在他发现，脱开马超然的秦怀舟还是有可爱的一面。
“坐，怀舟，坐下谈。”
秦怀舟战战惊惊坐下，一双眼睛忽尔闪在这，忽尔又闪在那。心里扑腾扑腾直跳，他今天找普天成，就是想进一步密切关系的。海东发生的一系列事让他终于明白，只有跟着普天成，才算正道，以前他真是把局势看错了。
“怀舟啊，最近跟老书记还有联系没？”普天成打量了秦怀舟一阵，问。
“前几天去北京出差，还专程看望了老书记，对了，老书记让我一定谢谢您。”
“谢我什么，我也没为老书记做什么。”
“老书记说，在海东，就您对他还有感情，他要我一定把这层意思转达到。”
“是吗，那我要好好谢谢老书记了，他身体还好吧？”
“托秘书长福，老书记的身体还硬朗着呢。对了，老书记还让我带了一幅字，是他写的，老书记的书法现在大有长进。”秦怀舟说着，从包里拿出一卷纸，摊开，是一“虎”字。普天成属虎，难得孙涛，还记得这个。望着刚劲有力的这个虎字，普天成一阵感慨。过完这个年，他就55了，如果再上不了台阶，怕是秘书长这个位子，也就成了他的终点。
“好字，好字啊，谢谢你，怀舟。”
秦怀舟见普天成眼里没假，就将自己准备好的一包东西掏出来：“秘书长，这是我西藏的一位朋友专程带来的，保健“药”，我也不知道适不适合秘书长，就冒昧带来了。”
“藏“药”啊，好，放那儿吧，老了，身体一天不如一天，是得保健了。”
“秘书长哪能说老，您正是人生的黄金时节呢。”
就在这时候，电话响了，普天成接起一听，是郑斌源打来的，问他晚上有没有安排，要不要一起坐坐？普天成一听郑斌源现在也学会了这些，高兴地说：“好啊，你郑大所长请客，我当然有时间了。”秦怀舟听出是郑斌源的声音，知道自己该告退了，便说：“秘书长您忙，改天我再来拜访。”
普天成也不挽留：“那好，怀舟，好好工作，你们年轻人，可不能撒懒哟。”秦怀舟又说了一句感谢的话，告辞走了。普天成这才对住电话，问郑斌源在哪里见面。郑斌源说，晚上有位老朋友请他，想拉普天成一块去。普天成说，人家请你，我干嘛跟过去凑热闹。郑斌源说：“指望我单独请你，不可能，晚上六点半，在海津路川府酒家见。”
普天成答应下来，看看还有点时间，想把手头一份急件处理一下，忽又想起秦怀舟送他的“药”，走过去打开一看，见是壮阳“药”，心里就有些不高兴，这个秦怀舟，搞什么名堂。再一看说明，就发现这“药”不只是壮阳，还有其他保健功用。而且注明，绝无伟哥等成分，是藏家独传的秘方。普天成忽然想起，孙涛书记在海东的时候，有人私下说他精力超强，尤其这方面。他会心一笑，看来秦怀舟送这“药”，已经送了好几年。不过他是用不着，乔若瑄不在身边，他正常的精力都没处使呢。他将“药”随手放在了一个抽屉里，想想不妥，又拿出来，放到一个更加保险的抽屉里。扔袋子的时候，一张卡掉出来，普天成捡起来，看到后面有一行小字，除了密码，还有一串数字。他怔怔地站半天，秦怀舟给他送这些，难道就为了感谢？
晚上六点半，普天成如约来到海津路川府酒家，惊讶地发现，跟郑斌源坐在一起等他的，竟是屈妙琪。
“妙琪，你什么时候来的？！”普天成喜出望外地走过去，跟屈妙琪握手。
屈妙琪说，她回来已经一周了，只是不敢打扰普天成。
“好啊，偷偷“摸”“摸”，你们两口子合起来骗我啊。”
郑斌源坐在一边，脸上是琢磨不透的笑。
“老郑，不够意思吧，夫人回来，招呼也不打一声。”普天成乐呵呵地说。说完又把目光转向屈妙琪，屈妙琪比以前瘦了许多，但精神状况还好。“怎么样，在国外生活得还习惯？”
“还行吧，谢谢秘书长。”大约是分开时间久了，屈妙琪一时还有点不适应，脸上多少有点不自在。
“什么秘书长，叫我老普就行，对了，孩子呢，没一块来？”
屈妙琪说，超超刚考完博，在等通知呢。普天成一听他们的儿子都考博了，兴奋地说：“快，真快啊，我还记得他光着小屁股的样子，一转眼，就给考博了。”
这顿饭吃得很愉快，屈妙琪的到来给了普天成一份惊喜，尽管他没好意思直接问他们两人的关系恢复得如何，但从两人的表情看，一定是有了希望。普天成替郑斌源高兴，他总算是把感觉找了回来。屈妙琪很感激普天成，一而再再而三地举起酒杯，要给普天成敬酒。普天成起先还热情地喝，不时地跟屈妙琪说些以前的事，后来感觉头有点晕，不敢再喝了。屈妙琪捧着酒杯，意犹未尽，眼里似乎有很多内容。
吃完饭回到家，已是十一点，望着空“荡”“荡”的家，普天成心里一阵难过。老郑一家破镜重圆了，他呢？他们的家至今还搁浅在岸上，能否度过这黑暗期，还很难说。
普天成洗了澡，想睡觉，电话突然叫响。他以为是乔若瑄打来的，兴冲冲接起，一听声音却是天彪。朱天彪说，金嫚不想在那边呆了，想回来。“哥，这女人爱你爱得不是一般，你要好好珍惜啊。”朱天彪说。不知怎么，普天成就流下了泪。都说他在一人之下，万人之上，权力大得无边，可却保护不了自己心爱的女人。一股悲怆顿然升起，弄得他鼻子酸酸的。想了许久，他才说：“那就把她送回来吧。”
普天成忽然有个想法，这一次，不管发生什么事，再也不让金嫚离开他了。他不能把所有的不公平都加在金嫚一人身上，他应该让她幸福。
是的，幸福。
一眨眼，春节就过去了。春节期间，普天成去了趟北京。这是早就有的计划，之所以迟迟没付诸行动，是他觉得时机一直不成熟。春节前夕，嫖幼门事件尘埃落定，徐兆虎领刑六年，杜汉武因为还有不少经济问题，案子仍然在调查当中，但相信结局不会好到哪里，他的妻子因为忍受不了这份耻辱，在春节前两天服毒自杀，幸亏发现得早，最后被救下了，但人却彻底失去了记忆。失去记忆好，至少，她后半生，会活得干净些。海东的干部因为嫖幼门，形象一落千丈，可以说是声名狼藉。普天成年前到北京开会，席间有人故意拿嫖幼门说事，连挖苦带讽刺，说海东别的不出，单出新鲜事，不知道接下来，会不会玩到幼儿园去。听得普天成脸红。有消息说，瀚林书记也挨了批，毕竟，这不是件光彩的事。
但是不管怎样，风波算是平息了，对手也一个个倒了下去。一直想把普天成打进地狱的王化忠也在这起事件中得到教训，加上他女婿的事，差点就一病起不来。病好之后，他跟杨馥嘉认真谈过一次，言语中满是失落和追悔。不追悔不可能，这样的结局普天成早就想到了。普天成算过一笔帐，杨馥嘉至少要在吉东干满三年，三年后，原来那些陈谷子烂芝麻的事，就再也没人会翻腾起。
他的心可以踏踏实实落地上了。
后顾之忧是彻底没了，普天成就又开始盘算未来，他的脚步不会只停留在秘书长这个位子上，不进则退，这句话对官员来说，再是准确不过。
普天成到北京的第一天，先是拜访了宋瀚林的父亲，老首长今年八十二岁了，身板还硬朗。每天坚持打拳，散步，还要下一个小时的棋，怕脑子会迟钝。秘书给了普天成一个小时的时间，普天成说不够，老首长也说不够。结果就谈了三个小时。老首长跟普天成讲了很多小时候的事，期间多次提到了普天成的父亲。战友之情是人世间最珍贵的情愿之一，尽管普天成的父亲活着时，他们之间也少不了吵架，有次为两大军区的换防，还差点闹到军委去，但是现在，老首长的言语里全成了怀念。后来他们谈到了宋瀚林，也谈到了乔若瑄，老首长说：“你们三个，可一定要把自己把握好啊，那些乌七八糟的事，绝不能做。你们的身份不同，对党要忠诚，对人民，更要忠诚。别人怎么做我管不了，对你们，我一定要严格。否则，见了你爸，我没法交待。”老首长告诉普天成，他有个想法，想把他们两个分开：“老在一起不好，瀚林那脾气我知道，你说的话，他未必听得进去，他这人太自负，我不大放心，我怕他把你带坏了，现在带坏的多啊。”老首长接着就讲了一个现实中的例子，是他参加老干部联谊会时听到的，也是老战友的一位儿子，他自己腐败，还把手下十多个干部拉下了水。“太可怕了，这在战争年代，是无法想像的，你们这一代人啊……”老首长叹了一声，不说了。普天成马上表态，说自己不会，瀚林也不会。
“你说不会我就相信啊？”老首长这么问了一声，然后自言自语道：“不行，我得找机会跟有关部门说说，得把你们分开，不能老在一起。还有，我想把瑄儿调到北京来，让她陪陪我，老了，寂寞啊——”
一席话说的，普天成的眼泪就下来了，他想起了父亲，想起了母亲，也想起了烟雨迷蒙的很多往事。
往事中有他，有宋瀚林，也有乔若瑄。
告别老首长，普天成开始挨个儿拜门。北京这些关系都是父亲留下的，有父亲的战友，同事，也有他的下属。普天成带着虔诚的心理，从这家进去，又从那家出来。后来他在北京摆了两桌，将首长秘书和司机以及他们的夫人请到一起，热热闹闹聚了一次。这些关系平时看着不怎么重要，关键时候，却管用得很。那天的气氛很热烈，大家围绕着普天成，说了很多祝愿的话。其中有人就谈到了海东班子调整的事，一位在组织部工作的首长秘书跟普天成透露，常务副省长周国平年后可能就要动，到西北某省担任省长。首长秘书凑近普天成的耳朵，很知心地说道：“这可是个机会啊，别让它白白溜了，给你透个信儿，你们省已经有人在活动了。”
普天成感觉自己心里响了一声，这人他清楚，他来北京的第二天，就听说化向明也到了北京。
想想也滑稽，前些日子，他们还紧密地团结在瀚林书记周围，打了一场漂亮的肃清仗，这才几天工夫，就又……
这也怪不得谁，当利益相同时，大家便是朋友，是战友，是同仇敌忾的弟兄。一旦新的利益放在眼前，格局立刻就会发生变化，谁也不会客气到把机会拱手让给别人。
普天成在北京一共逗留了一周，该拜的门，都已拜到，该亲近的关系，也都进一步做了亲近。当然顺带着，也发展了一些新的关系。比如他在友谊宾馆结识了一位法改委的女司长，人长得相当漂亮，会五国语言，这都不算，重要的，这女人单身。她有过短暂的一个月的婚史，但因双方性格不和，很快离了，按她的说法，不愿意捆绑到哪个男人身上，她的幸福她做主。这位叫戴小艺的女司长给普天成留下了深刻的印象，普天成给她的印象也很是不错，尽管两人相差十多岁，但都有种相见恨晚的感觉。普天成离开北京时，戴小艺特意到机场送他，还送给他一句想入非非的话：“你就这么走了，我心不甘啊，想想就像做了一个梦。不过也好，天下没有不散的宴席，记住了，我在北京等着你，啥时来，一个电话，小妹我全程奉陪。”
小妹。普天成又多了一个小妹。
北京此行，普天成一共带了十张卡，都是平时人们送的，原以为绰绰有余，没想到一趟北京回来，十张卡全不见了，身上只剩可怜的一千多块钱。
他叹了一声，钱到用时方恨少啊。
过完春节上班的第五天，瀚林书记将普天成叫到办公室，说：“新的一年开始了，谈谈你的想法。”
普天成就将春节期间的一些思考说了出来，春节期间尽管在北京，但思考还是少不了的，特别是北京高层的一些观念或新思潮新作法，启发了他，他把自己的所想如实汇报给宋瀚林。宋瀚林听了，频频点头，特别是他提出的集中精力抓经济建设，一心一意谋发展，抓好三类项目，两项教育，一个工程的“321”方案，深得宋瀚林欣赏。
三类项目是指，改造老工业项目，全力攻坚在建项目，贮存和培育新建项目。
两项教育是指，廉政勤政的作风教育，一切为民的思想教育。
一个工程是指切切实实抓好再就业工程。
普天成围绕着每一项，又讲了很多。
“这样吧天成，”瀚林书记听完普天成的汇报，兴奋地说：“这个方案很好，跟我的思路不谋而合，可惜还不系统，你马上带人到宾馆，跟川庆他们一起把这个方案拿出来，越快越好。”
普天成会心地点头，他知道，自己又要忙一阵子了。
将地点选在政府那边的云海山庄，是于川庆的主意。于川庆说，还是到云海走吧，我在你们那边老不习惯，再说桃园太闹了，无法静心。桃园闹不假，但说不习惯，普天成还是纳闷。“怎么个不习惯，难道你想一辈子留在这边？”
“我是想留，就怕留不住。”于川庆知道普天成话里的意思，周国平人还没走，但关于他那个位子的猜想，已经传得五花八门。普遍的意见认为，普天成希望最大。这就又牵扯出一个问题，普天成到了政府这边，空出的秘书长一职，又该是谁？普天成自己虽然不敢乐观，但在朋友面前，他也不说虚伪话。再者，他也希望自己提升后，能让于川庆接他的班。
“留得住留不住你心里清楚，别到时候自己打了自己嘴巴。”
“这样的嘴巴我喜欢打。”于川庆也不想隐瞒自己，如果真要往省委那边去，少不了普天成说话，不如及早把心思露出来，反正他跟普天成之间，向来没啥秘密。两人聊了一会，于川庆问：“怎么样，差不多了吧？”
“还差十万八千里。”普天成笑说。
“那就日行千里，追赶上去。”
“我还想坐火箭呢，可惜有人比我快啊。”普天成叹道。这些天，他总是听到化向明一些传闻，这些传闻搅得他心里很不是滋味。
于川庆劝解道：“一碟菜如果只留给你一个人吃，那有什么味道，争来的才香。你是不出手则已，一出手准赢，我可等着喝喜酒呢。”
“不说这个了，还是谈正事吧。”普天成觉得差不多了，主动岔开话题。于川庆也是点到为止，话说多了，就寡了味。两人笑呵呵议论半天，最后将这次封闭的地点选在了云海山庄。
讨论由哪些人参加时，两个人的意见发生了小分歧，普天成想让余诗伦也参与进来，毕竟他是政研室主任，抛开他不好。于川庆不同意：“你还嫌不酸啊，他一来，吃饭都没了胃口，再说这样的方案，你也不希望写成诗吧。”于川庆接着给普天成讲了一个故事，春节期间，政府这边的政研室搞了一次团拜，把余诗伦和省委政研室几名老干将也请来了，原想大家一起热闹热闹，没想那天余诗伦诗兴大发，政府这边正好有个调来不久的小媳妇，以前也当过一阵子文学青年，酸中带点涩，大家都不爱理她。谁知余诗伦见了，立马像是找到了知音，两人又是碰杯又是感叹，好像都回到了十七、八岁。政府这帮人也坏，一看这一对宝贝走到了一起，起着哄的给他们敬酒，还让小媳妇当场拜余诗伦为师。余诗伦也不客气，一拍胸脯就收下了这个徒弟。“你猜怎么着？”于川庆说到这，忽然转过脸来问普天成。普天成说：“你们在一起吃吃喝喝，我哪知道。”于川庆话还没说，先捂住了肚子：“这个活宝啊，说到后来，他竟然向人家表白起了爱意，你说荒唐不荒唐？”
“真有此事？”普天成吃惊不小，他是猜到了余诗伦要出丑，但没猜到会出这样的丑。“那后来呢？”他接着问。
“后来他当场给小媳妇献诗，说什么迟到的月亮，把人家给吓坏了。他哪里知道，人家的老公就是大诗人，出了好几本诗集呢，人家是志同道合才走到一起的。”
“这个疯子！”普天成猛地拍了下桌子，“说他是诗人，他还真成诗人了。”
“你还想让他来？”于川庆一脸坏笑地问。
“不来了，真不能来，这次还有两位女同志，别把人家也吓着。”
“其实啊，他那不叫吟诗，是骚情。那位小媳妇后来就说，原以为省委的领导个个正统，至少不会乱性，哪料想见了有姿色的女人，一样走不开。”
“这是什么话！”普天成蓦地变了脸，“这管省委领导什么事，我看你那个女诗人，也是疯子。”
于川庆一脸无奈：“谁说不是呢，这些天她逢人就说这事，好像余领导给她献了诗，是多大光荣似的。对了，昨天她还娇情地跑到我办公室，说，秘书长啊，最近我对工作有些想法，想跟你谈谈。说话那个酸劲，听了脊背都冒冷汗。”
“不会是看上你了吧，小心，人家老公可是
