Jia Shizhen looked repeatedly at the phone number on the caller ID, and his heart was pounding.He didn't want the phone call to have anything to do with his fate, yet he seemed to be waiting for a solemn verdict all the time.At this moment, for some reason, the reform process I went to the Organization Department of Xiyu Municipal Committee flashed through my mind like an electric current. Strictly speaking, it was not a memory, but a reflection.He suddenly felt that his approach was a bit too counter-trend and a little too impatient.This reform related to the cadre and personnel system has already revolutionized the lives of many vested interests.The resistance was so great that he did not expect it.It is difficult to continue such reforms, or will it become a short-lived tragedy?

After a while of thinking, the phone was still shouting frantically.He reached for the receiver, but his hand was unconsciously frozen in the air.According to his memory, this number should belong to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and most likely Minister Qian's phone number.Minister Qian called him personally at this time, there must be something serious.He hesitated for a moment, but quickly picked up the receiver.Sure enough, Minister Qian's voice came from the phone!Just as Jia Shizhen said "Hello", the mobile phone in his pocket rang at this moment.In a panic, he switched the phone receiver to his left hand and took out the phone with his right hand. Just as he was about to talk to Minister Qian, he caught a glimpse of the number on the phone.This number was so familiar, Jia Shizhen was a little at a loss for a moment, so she had to say into the phone receiver in a panic: "Minister Qian, please wait a moment, Secretary Chang is calling my cell phone!"

Minister Qian said, "Okay, you answer Secretary Chang's call first, and call me right away. I'll wait for your call." Minister Qian's voice was still so kind and kind. Just then Jia Shizhen hurriedly hung up Minister Qian's call, and then connected to the cell phone. "Hello! Is this Minister Jia?" It was Secretary Chang's voice. "It's me, Secretary Chang." Jia Shizhen calmed down for a moment, "What instructions does the leader have?" "Minister Jia, your phone is busy!" Secretary Chang said relaxedly, "Minister of Organization, you are always busy!"

Regarding what Secretary Chang said, Jia Shizhen was a little confused. Besides, he was still thinking about calling Minister Qian back, and he didn't want to say those nonsense polite words, so he asked directly: "Secretary Chang, what do you want me to do?" Chang Youlian said: "Minister Jia, I think you should cherish this opportunity to study at the Central Party School. Just now when the leader of the Provincial Party Committee called me, he mentioned this matter again, saying that the Provincial Party Committee will soon pass it on the Standing Committee. , so I will give you another report to make you further mentally prepared."

"Oh!" Jia Shizhen didn't say much. In fact, Secretary Chang didn't have any new spirit. As long as the provincial party committee hasn't made a formal decision, it's just blowing wind.Therefore, it was inconvenient for him to say more, and he just wanted to hear what Minister Qian on the other side had to say to him. Jia Shizhen couldn't remember how she ended this irrelevant call, and before she even had time to think about Secretary Chang's intentions, she called Minister Qian. Minister Qian said: "Shizhen, how are you? I guess you must have heard something! You have just become the head of the organization, and you have to work hard to adapt in all aspects."

Jia Shizhen smiled slightly and said, "Old leader, Minister Qian, you know me well, everything about me is normal." "Really?" Minister Qian let out a soft laugh, and said, "I'm afraid not!" After a pause, he said, "Well, Shizhen! You haven't been home for many days, and you will go back to the province soon Let's go!" Then he seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said, "The Standing Committee will decide this matter recently. Come back, come back and see how the final decision is made." "Okay then, Minister Qian." Jia Shizhen couldn't hear the inclination in Minister Qian's opinion. He knew that a leading cadre should go to the Central Party School to study, and it's not for promotion and reuse. Most of them are taken by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee Program.However, some important reserve cadres must be cultivated through the secretary of the provincial party committee and the standing committee of the provincial party committee.In a situation like his, the member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Minister of Organization of the Municipal Party Committee who had just taken office for only a few months went to the Central Party School to study for a year.

Putting down the phone, Jia Shizhen pondered for a long time, and decided to go back to the province according to Minister Qian's advice, which can be regarded as fulfilling the promise to his wife and children! It was only after three o'clock in the afternoon when Jia Shizhen returned to the provincial capital.He originally wanted to go to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee first, but of course he mainly wanted to hear Minister Qian's tone.However, he hesitated again.After thinking about it after arriving home, he still called Bu Yanyu first, knowing that Minister Qian was going to attend the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee in the afternoon.In the past when he was in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, he often heard that the Provincial Party Committee held a standing committee, but as long as it was not about the standing committee on researching cadres, he never cared about it.But now when he heard that Minister Qian had joined the Standing Committee, his heart suddenly sank.He realized that there was something wrong with his mentality, so he held his breath and tried to calm down his emotions—no matter what the result of the Standing Committee was, he should treat his future with a normal heart.Jia Shizhen didn't care to call his wife Lingling, and sat alone in the living room, suddenly feeling a little lonely and even infinitely lost.

When Lingling came home from get off work in the evening, she was both excited and surprised to find that her husband had arrived unannounced.Jia Shizhen said that he came back to fulfill his promise when Lingling left Xiyu.Although Lingling seemed to believe it or not, her husband really came back after all.There is still the old saying between husband and wife: "A small farewell is better than a newlywed"! After dinner, Jia Shizhen kept procrastinating and didn't want to go to bed early. He was always wondering whether the Standing Committee had reached a conclusion.If there is a conclusion, Minister Qian might call him.However, until half past ten, there was still no movement.

Lingling lay in the soft quilt, but she couldn't feel any warmth, and she didn't have the passion of husband and wife to win over newlyweds.No, the husband was lying motionless like a stiff corpse.It's not her fault, and it's not his fault.Who asked him to be the head of the organization of the municipal party committee!Lingling's whole body seemed to be immersed in a cold river, cold and lonely.Since she left Xiyu last time, it has been more than two months since the husband and wife separated, which is really a long period of time for a young couple. The unannounced arrival of her husband was originally something to be excited about, but ever since the couple got very unhappy because of the promotion of Zhang Jingyuan from the Organization Department of the Xiyu City Committee, the atmosphere at home suddenly froze.Lingling couldn't figure it out, her husband was the head of the organization of the municipal party committee, and the leader of his wife's work unit said hello and wanted to promote a deputy department-level cadre, and he was the cadre and section chief of his own organization department. It was supposed to be a trivial matter, but the husband refused to do it .She felt that her husband had changed and became a little unreasonable.These days, although Deputy Director Zhang didn't mention this matter to her again, Lingling obviously felt that Deputy Director Zhang's attitude towards her was different.Lingling didn't want to mention this matter at first, but her husband took the initiative to ask about it during the meal.The words were not speculative, and the two of them had their own opinions, and the atmosphere at home suddenly became tense.Afterwards, Lingling didn't say a word, and the cold war between the two began.Until now, it has been more than eleven o'clock in the evening, and it is still going on. This kind of atmosphere is rare for them.It was the time when Jia Shizhen was sent back by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. Although her husband was depressed, the relationship between the two was still very good.

Now he put his hands behind his head, staring into a pair of anxious eyes, like a beast hiding in the dark, ready to strike at any time.Lingling suddenly felt a little frightened, curled up motionless.The suffocating silence made her breathless, and she really wanted to have a frank talk with her husband, mainly to share her personal views on his behavior after he became the head of the organization of the municipal committee.To be honest, Lingling not only has opinions on her husband's radical reform, but also has more and more dissatisfaction.Now, public elections and referrals in almost all places are nothing more than operations under certain powers.The head of the organization who knows how to handle affairs is making a big splash, but in fact he still promotes cadres according to the old formula.It is really because the issue of cadres is too sensitive and involves the vital interests of many people. How can we let the masses decide, how can we be as democratic as the theory says?That's not a mess!Who is as serious as Jia Shizhen?Otherwise, why so many large and small power departments across the country have not really promoted the work of openly selecting cadres, and they still rely on power to select officials.But how could she have the courage to speak out these thoughts, she knew her husband's temper too well.

Since her husband was transferred to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and later became the Organization Director of the Municipal Party Committee, Lingling was indeed excited and excited about it.But with all the discussions caused by her husband's unexpected actions, she gradually became worried and even worried.Now, she maintains her grace with an insane self-control.But her mood was extremely depressed, and she was full of fire in her heart.Zhang Jingyuan had worked as the head of the cadres and section chiefs of the Organization Department of the Xiyu Municipal Party Committee for so many years. The cadres in the organization department were all promoted when they went out, but he, Jia Shizhen, became the head of the organization and insisted on breaking this rule!For the sake of that relative, Deputy Director Zhang not only specially let her have a holiday to visit relatives, but also took her to Xiyu in a special car.What Lingling couldn't figure out was why her husband insisted on confronting her.Deputy Director Zhang doesn't mention it anymore, what does it mean?Lingling knew too well that she was just a deputy director of the Department of Cultural Affairs, a hostage in someone else's hands!Besides, the chief director has reached retirement age, and deputy director Zhang is likely to get rid of the word "deputy" on her head, so she can have a good life in the future!She had mentioned these practical issues to her husband more than once, but when the husband and wife mentioned these matters, they became unhappy.To be honest, Lingling really hoped that her husband would go to the Central Party School to study, even if she had to live apart for a year, and even hoped that her husband would not be the head of the municipal party committee organization after he came back. The husband snorted softly and turned over. Lingling's body was tense, not unhappy, but a little nervous. She thought he would hug her tightly and kiss her like in the past... She curled up The body waited motionless, but he didn't even touch her, but moved further away from her. Lingling buried her head in the pillow towel, she was so sad that she almost shed tears, she secretly took a deep breath, and swallowed back the tears. Lingling really didn't expect that the officialdom would turn a good-looking man into such a appearance.She was even worried that if things went on like this, their marriage of more than ten years would be in an unpredictable crisis.Not long ago, a little sister from the work unit learned that although Lingling has become an official wife and looks very beautiful on the surface, she has unspeakable hardships in her life-she is often a widow at a young age.The little sister said, what is love between a man and a woman?The love between a man and a woman is directly related to sex.Without sex, where is love?What she said deeply stimulated Lingling.Yes, Lingling thinks that modern women look at problems too sharply and realistically.For some reason, at this moment Lingling's mind suddenly jumped out of this paragraph of words that she didn't take seriously at the time.Since her husband was promoted to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Minister of Organization of the Municipal Party Committee, their sex life has undergone qualitative and quantitative changes.The last time Deputy Director Zhang asked her to visit relatives, she went there with excitement and pride, and wanted to be a happy official wife. However, her husband was so busy day and night that he often did not touch him for many days. her.Now they haven't seen each other for more than two months. According to what she knew about her husband in the past, the man can't bear it long ago, but now, the husband is like a stranger, like a man who has lost his sexual function.The strange thing is that gradually, in such wild thoughts, the woman's hunger for sex is like countless worms in the body.Although a woman's sexual desire is not as fierce and violent as a man's, when a woman's sexual impulse is, it is also difficult to control rationally.In the sexual life between husband and wife when they are young, women do not need much initiative, because most of the sexual requirements of men exceed the needs of women.And since their husband arrived in Xiyu, all their life order has been messed up.With the longing in Lingling's body, Lingling had already forgotten the unhappiness of the night.She took off her underwear three times and five times, which is rare. In the past, her husband would push it off with his feet. That action made her so excited.When Lingling pressed her smooth body against his body, he just touched her lightly, but there was no passion at all. Perhaps the man was moved by compassion, so he mustered up his energy and reluctantly went out. The two fought hard. After a long time, although he worked hard wholeheartedly, he was finally defeated.She sighed in pain.He hugged his wife guiltily, felt the tears streaming down her cheeks, and comforted him softly: "Tomorrow, let's see what the results of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee will be tomorrow. I'm really sorry, I'm sorry..." The next morning, Lingling went to work and her daughter went to school. Jia Shizhen was a little restless at home alone.He felt that time passed too slowly, bought a tabloid, but couldn't read it at all.He, who never smoked, lit a cigarette, took a few puffs and put it in the ashtray, and began to wander in the living room.At ten o'clock, the phone rang suddenly, and he couldn't wait to pick it up. It turned out that Minister Qian's new secretary had informed him to come to Minister Qian's office. Jia Shizhen felt a little uneasy, and strode downstairs.Along the way, he repeatedly thought about what kind of decision Minister Qian would announce to him.In Jia Shizhen's impression, he had never been so eager in his eight years in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee.After entering the gate of the Provincial Party Committee, he felt like he was rushing towards the Organization Department building of the Provincial Party Committee like a whirlwind. When Jia Shizhen was standing at the door of Minister Qian's office, Minister Qian was on the phone.In fact, when Minister Qian saw Jia Shizhen coming, he hurriedly ended the call, but Jia Shizhen felt that the call was too long. Minister Qian greeted him with a smile, and Jia Shizhen hurried forward to hold Minister Qian's hand.Minister Qian did not speak, but stared at Jia Shizhen for a while, and the two sat on the sofa. Minister Qian said, "Shizhen, the matter of you going to the Central Party School to study was discussed by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee yesterday afternoon." Minister Qian lightly Looking at Jia Shizhen relaxedly, he paused at this critical moment, as if he was trying to show off on purpose.Jia Shizhen's heart suddenly raced, but she still pretended to be calm and calm. Jia Shizhen looked at Minister Qian with complicated waves churning in his chest.At this moment, he thought of Xiyu's public selection of county-level leading cadres with great fanfare some time ago.He even thought about Zhang Jingyuan, Zhuang Tonggao and Cheng Wenwu.Zhang Jing was originally related to Deputy Director Zhang, Cheng Wenwu was the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Chang Youlian, and Zhuang Tonggao was the Chief of County and District Officers of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and he was the former deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.He never expected that he would encounter such a difficult problem at the critical moment when he was carrying out the reform of the cadre and personnel system with great fanfare.After a while of turmoil, Jia Shizhen felt conflicted. He suddenly hoped that if he just left, then the reforms made some time ago would naturally come to nothing. It was just a dream, a beautiful and memorable dream. Jia Shizhen said: "Minister Qian, after I leave, who will take over the work of the Organization Department of the Xiyu Municipal Party Committee?" Yes, this is an organizational matter, and it is a bit inappropriate to ask myself. Minister Qian stood up without any expression, as if he didn't hear Jia Shizhen's words, maybe he could understand Jia Shizhen's mood at the moment.Qian Guoqu walked to the desk, picked up the "big internal counselor" on the table, turned around and handed it to Jia Shizhen, and said, "Shizhen, take a look at this first, there are praises for your reform of the cadre and personnel system." , It also reflects how some people go to great lengths to resist this reform." Jia Shizhen didn't take this "big internal reference" seriously, but he didn't expect that someone had already put such a thing on the "big internal reference".It seems that I am really going to embark on the path of hatred.He felt that he could not be compared with Qiu He. Qiu He was a big official in the frontier. The specific executor; Qiu He is the all-round macro-leader, while he is the specific operator involving the vital interests of the cadres.To put it bluntly, the power of the Minister of Organization is still very limited. Jia Shizhen just glanced at the title on the "Great Internal Reference" and didn't look at the specific content, or he didn't have the heart to look at those boring and annoying things now, and said seriously: "Minister Qian, China's affairs are difficult. Most people's minds are used to conforming to the old ways, not to mention that the issue of cadres is too sensitive, and the vital interests of cadres are too much and too specific." "That's right!" Qian Guoqu said with emotion, "Don't talk about ordinary people, even township cadres are like this, even leaders at the provincial party committee level can't understand it. But Secretary Tan is different..." Jia Shizhen felt that Minister Qian had a smile on his face, and this faint smile seemed to suddenly bring their relationship a lot closer, or in other words, their hearts a lot closer.Jia Shizhen also couldn't tell when the relationship between himself and Minister Qian became closer, but he felt that since Minister Qian took him to meet Secretary Tan quietly in Province M before Secretary Tan took office. Afterwards, it seemed that Minister Qian thought of him more than anyone else in the Organization Department.Sensitivity and savvy in the officialdom are slowly figured out by one person.Jia Shizhen glanced at Minister Qian, another change of mood suddenly occurred in him. Jia Shizhen's mood suddenly became much brighter at the moment, and he seemed to feel the debate on his study in the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. He really doesn't want to be the center of people's discussion at any time. When he first arrived in Xiyu, he just put his eight years of experience in the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department into practice with enthusiasm. To test, and even without considering the consequences, did the earth-shattering public selection of leading cadres at the county level.Who knows how it had such a big impact on society!Who knows how to poke a big hole in the sky all at once!At this moment, he felt an inexplicable pressure, a little suffocated, and couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, but he did it quietly so that Minister Qian wouldn't feel it. Minister Qian said: "Shizhen, find time to talk about other issues in the future. I will have a meeting right away. Regarding your study, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee has made a decision and unified thinking." Minister Qian's face suddenly became serious. , Look at Jia Shizhen, "Secretary Tan saw the 'big internal reference' and said: 'Such young comrades will have opportunities in the future to study at the Central Party School, and such comrades should be sent abroad to study advanced management science in developed countries. Aren't we going to select the fifth training class for senior management talents in the United States? I remember that when he was promoted to be a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, the Organization Department of your Provincial Party Committee said that he was applying for the fourth training session for senior management talents in the United States. Did he get a good grade in the foreign language test during the class? He was not allowed to go at that time, mainly because the Xiyu Municipal Committee was in urgent need of an organization director. Now it seems that he has done a good job in cadre and personnel work in Xiyu for more than half a year. Besides, this training class is only half a year Time, after half a year, there will be greater improvement, which will not affect the work of the Organization Department of the Xiyu Municipal Party Committee, but also allow him to broaden his horizons and broaden his horizons.'" Minister Qian smiled, "There are many people who call the scientific outlook on development. Leading cadres don’t study, don’t study, just gossiping, I hope you make good use of this opportunity, improve your thinking and concepts one step further, and earnestly study how to reform China’s cadre and personnel system through study.” Minister Qian stopped After a while, he continued, "The reform of the cadre and personnel system is quite complicated. Whether it is in the current administrative system framework or in the future legal system construction and democratic system design, it is an issue that we need to seriously discuss." Listening to Minister Qian's words, Jia Shizhen never thought that the provincial party committee's study of him would be like this.What is even more unexpected is that Secretary Tan is a provincial party secretary who attaches so much importance to the reform of the cadre and personnel system.If he regretted not being able to participate in the fourth training course for senior management personnel in the United States at the beginning, and felt lucky that the provincial party committee promoted him to the Standing Committee of the Xiyu Municipal Committee and the Organization Director of the Municipal Committee, then all this seems to have come too suddenly now. His mind hadn't turned the corner yet at that moment. The air in the room seemed to suddenly become fresh and lively, and Jia Shizhen felt as if he was coming back to life, and almost sucked up all the oxygen in the room in one gulp. What Minister Qian said again, Jia Shizhen didn't listen carefully, he knew it was just time for intensive training, preparations before going abroad and so on. "Shizhen," Minister Qian looked at Jia Shizhen, and said, "don't go back in a hurry. Today, or tomorrow, there are still some things that I need to ask Secretary Youlian and Mayor Shao Ming to come over, and there are some specifics. Work, the leaders of the provincial party committee have to make some explanations." This is not surprising at all. According to the routine, the head of the organization should be away for half a year, and he should make arrangements for the work of the organization department. It is nothing more than a matter of how the city management cadres manage during this period.However, Jia Shizhen was a little strange. The organization minister of the Provincial Party Committee could call the relevant personnel to explain this kind of work, and he didn't need the leadership of the Provincial Party Committee! On the way home, for some reason, Jia Shizhen kept thinking about such a detail.However, he left the job for half a year. Although the time was not long, it was not short!Will the organization minister be replaced or not?Minister Qian didn't say anything.Everything has to wait for the arrival of Secretary Chang and Mayor Shao before the truth can be revealed. After leaving Minister Qian's office, Jia Shizhen did not meet anyone from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee.Walking alone on the familiar street at the gate of the Provincial Party Committee, his mind fell into deep thought.The United States should be said to be the most advanced and developed country in science and technology in the world. He will study in such a country for half a year.Thinking of the United States, Jia Shizhen suddenly thought of Hua Zuying, and thought of the "Hongmen Banquet" set up by someone unknown. Fortunately, Hua Zuying discovered the sign in time and took decisive measures to save him from a catastrophe.To be honest, whenever he thinks of that heart-stirring incident, he feels a kind of gratitude and respect for Hua Zuying from the bottom of his heart.Since he arrived in Xiyu, she called him a few times from the United States, and he was indeed too busy to talk to her. Now that I think about it, she lives alone in a foreign country, and she is definitely lonely.I don't know if I will have a chance to meet her when I go to America this time. If Hua Zuying hadn't saved him at that critical moment, maybe his life would have been another scene.And what will happen between him and Hua Zuying?He didn't dare to think about it. In Jia Shizhen's heart, she still hoped to know the specific arrangements of the provincial party committee for the work of Xiyu City earlier.So he took out his mobile phone, hesitated for a moment, and dialed Bu Yanyu's number.The relationship between him and Bu Yanyu seems to have formed naturally, especially after he replaced Bu Yanyu as Minister Qian's secretary for a few days. The director of the department can also be said to be his successor, and the relationship seems to be a step further. Jia Shizhen dialed the phone: "Hello..." "Hey, it's Minister Shizhen..." "Brother, is it convenient for you to talk now?" "What's up?" "That's right, I just came out from Minister Qian..." "I know, you are going to study abroad soon..." "Hey, you... do you know how the work in Xiyu City is arranged?" "You! You'll know when the time comes. It's hard for me to say. Some things are just hearsay, so..." For some reason, Bu Yanyu hesitated. Jia Shizhen naturally knew the rules of the organization department, but Bu Yanyu refused to speak out, because he had his own difficulties, so he stopped asking.After hanging up the phone, his heart sank again, and he couldn't even tell what he was worried about.No matter who puts such a thing on, it will be exciting.After participating in the training course for senior management cadres in the United States, why do you still have to be the head of the organization of the municipal party committee after you come back?However, his heart was always blocked, so he had to walk aimlessly on the street.For more than half a year in Xiyu, there has been a lot of turmoil all day long, either someone came to the door, or there were constant calls.Walking alone on the streets of the provincial capital at this moment, no one would notice that he was the head of the organization of the municipal party committee with great power.Instead, he felt a little lonely, and Lingling had also gone to work... He was thinking about where to go, when his phone rang suddenly, he opened the flip of the phone, looked at the number: "Hello..." A woman's voice came from the phone, and Jia Shizhen was at a loss for a moment. For some reason, this woman's voice, which he was all too familiar with, suddenly made his heart change its beating rhythm. "Shizhen, where are you now?" Jia Shizhen didn't answer her, and tried her best to calm her heartbeat, and a woman's soft voice came from the phone again: "Hey, is it Shizhen, why don't you talk?" "Oh, it's Yilan!" Jia Shizhen felt her heartbeat calm down a bit, slowly inhaling and exhaling like a gentle breeze, "I just came out of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee." "Why, you have already returned to the province! Why didn't you tell me?" Jia Shizhen hesitated for a moment, and at this moment, some details since he came back from yesterday broke into his mind unhindered: the matter of going to the Central Party School to study disturbed his mind, last night and Lingling and his wife really Same bed, different dreams, how could he have the heart to think about Zhou Yilan!At Minister Qian's place just now, although he already knew that the provincial party committee had made a new decision on his problem, there was something in what Minister Qian said, and he was not completely at ease.Jia Shizhen knew that Zhou Yilan's reprimand was actually caring, a kind of kindness.So this call made him feel that it seemed very timely. "No, I was about to call you, but you called me first." "Stop telling me! People who don't know how to lie have learned badly." Zhou Yilan said, "Where's Lingling?" "Don't people go to work!" "Then you..." Zhou Yilan hesitated, "Who are you with now?" "No one else but myself, very boring!" "I don't believe it. If that's the case, the sun will come out from the west! Maybe it's just a bunch of flowers, cheering and embracing!" "Yilan, who do you think I am! Really, even the driver has gone back. To be honest, I don't even have a place to eat at noon today!" "Really!" Zhou Yilan became excited, "Then I'll treat you, and you will be the host. Let's take off the mask of your municipal organization director temporarily and live a common life with me, how about it?" Jia Shizhen suddenly felt that he had made a slip of the tongue just now. To be honest, since he met Zhou Yilan, he has always tried his best to avoid this woman who shouldn't have broken into his life.Especially when he learned of Zhou Yilan's life experience, he not only sympathized with her tragic fate, but even felt that he should come to save such a beautiful woman.However, whenever such strange thoughts appeared, he always used reason to control himself.When he left the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and went to Xiyu to become the head of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, his status changed, and his working environment also changed a lot. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to fart. miles away.Occasionally, when he thought of some people and things in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, he didn't think about it, but felt a new peace and tranquility.Before that, he really didn't think about whether to contact Zhou Yilan.Now, Zhou Yilan's phone call suddenly woke him up from his sleep. "Shizhen, where are you? I'll pick you up!" Zhou Yilan said after a long period of silence. Jia Shizhen couldn't remember exactly what he told Zhou Yilan. He was walking slowly along the sidewalk beside the street.Until Zhou Yilan's car stopped beside him and shouted loudly: "Minister Jia..." The car didn't go to the office. After a while, it stopped in front of a very inconspicuous hotel. After Zhou Yilan and Jia Shizhen got off the car, the car turned around and drove away. After entering the door, a middle-aged man greeted him and said, "Director Zhou, here we come!" He then guided him up to the second floor. This is a small private room with very luxurious decoration. Zhou Yilan said: "Although there are not many people in the office, you are now an important person. In order not to let anyone gossip, this hotel is opened by a distant relative of mine. Don't worry!" The cold dishes on the table were already set, and Zhou Yilan sat down next to Jia Shizhen, when a gorgeously dressed woman came in with a plate, Zhou Yilan said, "Is it Huadiao?" "Yes!" said the woman and put down the plate, "Zhejiang Shaoxing Huadiao is the best among Huadiao." Zhou Yilan said: "Shizhen, let's relax today and not be disturbed by anything, so I think it's better to drink yellow wine!" The clear lake water is brewed with ancient methods and stored for a long time. Therefore, Huadiao wine is soft in nature, clear in orange and yellow in color, rich in aroma, sweet and mellow in taste." Jia Shizhen shook her head and said, "Anyway, it's still wine. If you drink too much, you're still drunk." After the woman poured the wine, Zhou Yilan waved her hand to let her go out, then raised the glass and said, "Shizhen! Today I really feel like I am in a dream. You have been away from the province for seven months. Right! I think it's been a long time, not even seven years, but half a century!" "It's a bit exaggerated!" "You have been in Xiyu for more than seven months, and you have turned Xiyu upside down." Zhou Yilan took a big sip of wine, and his cheeks turned rosy immediately, "Yes, China wants an official like you. And the more the better, but for some reason, many people are not optimistic about leading cadres with radical reforms like you and Qiu He, and even yell at them. Shizhen, to be honest, I am really worried about you!" "Yilan, these few days, I have been seriously summarizing, or reflecting on myself. I know that my road ahead is already very difficult!" Jia Shizhen filled her glass and drank it all. "Do you know! Now not only the people of Xiyu, the whole province, and even the whole country are paying attention to your future destiny. Some people say that it is inevitable for you to study at the Central Party School, and some people say that there is no such organization minister in the world. A deputy mayor!" Jia Shizhen smiled and drank another glass of wine: "Those words on the Internet are too irresponsible, I don't even read them." "Oh, by the way, what did the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee say?" "Drink." Jia Shizhen drank two glasses in a row. Although he didn't want to mention those annoying things, he had to talk about Zhou Yilan's concerns. But Zhou Yilan thought it was not that simple, and the drama was still going on. Later, otherwise, why would the provincial party committee get the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor over here! When it came to the officialdom, the intimacy and mystery between the two gradually faded away, replaced by Huadiao, which made people lose self-control, and I didn't know how many pots they drank. Her face was full of peach blossoms, and Jia Shizhen was already top-heavy. Jia Shizhen lay motionless on the bed, Zhou Yilan poured cold water on her peach-like face, looked in the mirror, and suddenly felt that her parents gave her this beautiful face for nothing, but it was a pity that she wasted precious youth. Zhou Yilan turned around and went out of the washroom, made a cup of tea, and peeled an apple, then sat next to Jia Shizhen, and suddenly went into the bathroom again, twisted a hot towel, and gently wiped Jia Shizhen's face, Jia Shizhen opened her sleepy eyes Eyes, looked at Zhou Yilan lovingly, leaned on the head of the bed, leaned on the head of the bed, Zhou Yilan took the tea cup and said: "It seems that drinking is related to emotions, seeing you like this..." Jia Shizhen drank the tea in a big gulp, Zhou Yilan took the apple again, Jia Shizhen waved his hand, and half leaned against the head of the bed, Zhou Yilan gradually leaned on him, snuggled up to him without saying a word, and gently stroked his chest with his hands, as if the chest contained It is full of all the major events in the world and gives her inexhaustible reliance. Jia Shizhen was just a little top-heavy, and Hua Diao was not a strong liquor, so after drinking tea, he gradually became sober.When he felt a beautiful woman in his arms, his heart suddenly beat wildly. This kind of heartbeat was not entirely excited, but also contained anxiety and guilt.At this moment, the tender and intimate image of his wife Lingling appeared in his mind, and the fearless and respectable image of Hua Zuying also flashed. Jia Shizhen moved lightly twice, slowly shedding it like a snake shedding its skin.Zhou Yilan neither struggled nor resisted. When she realized that what she was relying on was not the broad chest but the cold wood, she thought of how beautiful she was when she was young, which caused many men to kneel down她的石榴裙下，那些好色之徒巴不得在大街上就扒光了她的衣服，痛快淋漓一番。如今虽然到了半老徐娘的年龄，可看上去还是像二十来岁的年轻姑娘，青春依旧，姿色尚存。可是这些年来，她一直执著地追逐着他，她说不清自己怎么就变得这样失去自尊，变得如此失去自我的。现在，周一兰更加进一步明确了一件事：一个女人无论多美丽动人，如果得不到男人的赏识，那还有什么意义呢！就像花朵的美丽，那是人品出来的，再美丽的花朵，关在黑暗的死牢里，不见天日，谁还知道她的价值！ 周一兰僵硬地靠在身后那张花梨木床架上，犹如一只断了线颓然坠落的风筝。她感到全身酥软了，血流凝滞了，心脏麻木了，灵魂腾空了，仿佛自己变成了一片树叶，毫无抵御能力地在空中飘荡，只须一丝微风，就会坠入深渊！ 贾士贞走了。当周一兰渐渐回到现实中时，她突然意识到，他这次离去好像永远的别离，突然间产生了从没有过的颓丧心情，她后悔为什么不叫驾驶员送送他，现在他一个人已不知往何处去了。 贾士贞进了家门，听到厨房里传来妻子做饭的声音，他的心脏突突地跳了起来，便轻手轻脚地闪进卫生间，抬头看见镜子里的一个面容憔悴、神情疲惫的男人，他有点不相信这就是自己，老实说，这样的精神状态，对于他来说是少见的。于是急忙开大冷水龙头，很快把自己的脸浸入冷水中。 正在这时，玲玲站在卫生间门口，莫名其妙地看着丈夫，带着几分嘲讽地说：“是偷了东西了，还是强奸少女了！” 贾士贞没抬头，整个脸继续浸在水池里。 玲玲又说：“刚才省委组织部打电话来，通知你明天开会，记录在电话旁边，自己去看。”正待转身离去时又回过头，“遇到什么不顺心事了，见不得人啊？把脸藏起来！” 贾士贞洗了脸，整整服装，故作气定神闲的样子，竭力让游离大半天的市委组织部长这个魂魄回到自己的身上，不过他确实有些不敢面对妻子，进门这么长时间始终一言未发。 贾士贞来到电话旁边，拿起电话记录，省委组织部通知他明天上午九点半去省委书记楼二楼第二会议室开会。 这时女儿岚岚拉着他，贾士贞忽然想到和女儿已经多日没有亲近了，忙搂住女儿说：“岚岚，现在学习怎么样？” “爸，你都不管我了，这么长时间不回家，回来连影子也见不到！” 贾士贞抱起女儿说：“我女儿都成大姑娘了，知道向爸爸发牢骚了！岚岚，爸爸也是人在江湖，身不由己啊！” 玲玲端着菜从厨房里出来，说：“你现在才是市委组织部长，要是当了省委组织部长还不出家上峨眉山去啊！” 贾士贞接过玲玲手里的菜，笑着说：“老婆，实在抱歉，俗话说，吃得朝中三分饷，一生卖给帝王家。我要告诉你一个消息，今天上午领导已经正式通知我了，不去中央党校了，但要去美国学习半年，你说怎么办？” 玲玲停住了脚步，脸上显出几分平静，过了一会儿，说：“我们无所谓，本来我们也没准备你给我们带来什么好处。” 岚岚叫了起来：“爸爸，你要到美国去啊！爸爸太了不起了！” “吃饭！”玲玲说，“没什么了不起的，三顿饭不吃都会饿半死。” 一家三口坐下来吃饭了，贾士贞觉得妻子的情绪始终没有调整过来。他当然知道，还是因为张敬原的提拔问题，他很能够理解妻子，便一边吃饭一边琢磨着怎么把妻子的情绪调整得好一些。不管怎么说，虽然他到西臾后夫妻分多聚少，但是毕竟就那么点路程，家里有什么事，随时可以见面的，可出国就不一样了，无论什么原因都是不可能随便回来的。 一家三口吃完了饭，贾士贞打发女儿去洗脸做作业。随后主动收拾起餐桌来，玲玲忙抢过丈夫手里的事，说：“你难得回来一趟，就不要做这些事了。” 贾士贞说：“这几天还是我来吧，我这一去就是半年，真有些舍不得你和岚岚啊！” “要不怎么都说每一个成功的男人后面都有一个默默奉献的女人呢！中国就是男人的天下，你就说我吧，多少也是个副处长，要是男人，那女人还不一样像伺候老太爷一样侍候着？” 贾士贞感到玲玲说的是实在话，在县里，一个县委副书记、副县长，那可是了不得的大官，家里家外都得捧到天上去。 贾士贞的心里愧疚得有点酸酸的，上前搂着玲玲，使劲在她脸上亲吻着，手在女人全身抚摸着。当他的手伸到了下面时，玲玲撅着嘴道：“你还记得我是你的女人，还有你需要的东西？” 贾士贞没说话，抱起妻子进了卧室，关起门来，上了床，正在温存时，玲玲突然停了下来，双手摸着男人那光溜溜的身体说：“哎，张副厅长今天看到我，那种怪怪的样子，我躲都躲不及！” “怎么？”男人停止了所有的动作。 “他在走廊里看到我，说，葛处长啊！贾部长就要去中央党校学习了吧，回来后说不准弄个副省长干干。”玲玲突然软瘫瘫地松了神，“过去张副厅长从没称呼过我的职务，你看他这话是什么意思，你就是去中央党校学习了，怎么回来就当副省长了？分明是……” 贾士贞一时没了主张，好不容易把俩人的激情给调动起来了，可是一下子从高空跌入万丈深渊。刚才俩人那种风情万种、迎接新战斗的昂扬斗志荡然无存了。玲玲很是失望而又万般悔恨，尸体一样地躺在床上，贾士贞的心里不是滋味，他用手搂了搂软绵绵的女人，就像揉着一团凉冰冰的面筋。 贾士贞的手在女人胸乳间慢慢地抚摸着，玲玲仍然一动不动，男人不仅调动不了妻子的积极性，自己也如同溃军之将。当初在学校时，追求玲玲的男人少说也有一个加强排，他知道，当时他能够独占花魁，与当时身为地委组织部长的父亲不能说没有关系。结婚十多年来，他们相濡以沫，从来没有想过要冷落怀中的妻子，可自己当了这个市委组织部长以来，他真的觉得自己不知从哪一天开始变了，变得毫无道理，变得莫名其妙。
