Chapter 2 Chapter two

Yu Jianyang was always looking for something to do, so he ran to Zhu Huaijing's room every day.Every time he went, he could find an excuse to stay busy for a while.For example, there are water marks on the mirror in the bathroom, there is a hair in the bathtub, and the carpet should be vacuumed.The waiter would always be called out loudly by him, saying that they hadn't done anything right.Zhu Huaijing looked really troublesome, if he had lost his temper in the past, he would have lost his temper, but he could only smile. It was Saturday, Zhu Huaijing was fine and wanted to sleep more.But early on, he heard someone talking outside, like Yu Jianyang.Faintly heard him asking Secretary Zhu something.Most likely, Yu Jianyang wanted to see him, but he didn't know if he got up.Zhu Huaijing ignored him and fell asleep.He didn't get up until he heard loud clanging outside.I thought that the hotel was repairing something somewhere.

He didn't dare to take a bath outside because he was always afraid that the waiter in the hotel would be perfunctory and just flush the bath and toilet with water indiscriminately, and then paste a note saying "has been disinfected, use it at ease".But seeing Yu Jianyang staring at the waiter these days, he felt relieved.The towels, bath towels, and floor towels are all replaced with new ones, and the water is blue, so it looks cool.After getting up, he turned on the water and took a comfortable bath.Suddenly seeing the note pasted next to the sink, I was happy.He saw this note as soon as he moved in, and every time he saw it later, he found it amusing.Printed on the note:

Dear guests: The earth is our common home.Cherish it, the sky in our home is bluer, the grass is greener, the water is clearer, and the air is fresher.Please join our environmental protection team! Please put the towels, bath towels and floor towels that need to be replaced in the bathtub.Thank you for your cooperation. I thought that for a few towels, I would wear such a big hat for environmental protection, I really can't imagine it.Some people want to be superior in everything, and always say that trivial things are related to some big plan.Zhu Huaijing had just put on his clothes when he heard the doorbell.He thought it might be Yu Jianyang.When I opened the door, I saw a waitress. "Secretary Zhu, Manager Yu, asked me to ask if you would bring breakfast to the room?" The lady was a little nervous, and said such a long sentence in one breath, so panicked that she didn't break a sentence, and finally she became short of breath, and her voice slipped a bit.Seeing her blushing, Zhu Huaijing smiled, thanked her, and said, "Then I will trouble you. Two steamed buns and a glass of milk are enough." After a while, Yu Jianyang brought the waitress by himself up.But it was holding a full plate, including buns, fried dumplings, steamed buns, poached eggs, cold dishes, and milk.Zhu Huaijing frowned, and said, "I'm not afraid of trouble if I'm smaller than you. How much can I eat? As I said, I only need two steamed buns and a glass of milk." Yu Jianyang didn't really take this as a criticism, and said with a grin: " Secretary Zhu, please eat slowly. That’s how I am, I don’t want to eat at first, but as I eat, my appetite will grow.” Zhu Huaijing didn’t say anything more, just bowed his head and ate breakfast.Yu Jianyang still looked around, but couldn't find anything to say, so he raised his hand and wiped the top of the bedroom door.Immediately called the service lady, pointed out a finger and said, "Look, what is this? How many times have I told you that you can't let go of any dead corners of hygiene. You guys, quality is really a problem." The service lady was generous Not daring to come out, his hands trembling slightly, he took a rag and went to wipe the top of the door.Yu Jianyang scolded again: "Now you're so diligent again, don't you see Secretary Zhu eating breakfast? It's making dust." Zhu Huaijing raised his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay." The waitress was in a dilemma, and she didn't know Listen to whom.Zhu Huaijing then said: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way." Then Yu Jianyang said: "Forget it, I'll clean it later. You go first." After Zhu Huaijing finished eating, Yu Jianyang called the waitress to come and clean up .It was the same little girl who had been scolded just now, and came in with a low eyebrow.In a hurry, I made another mistake, the plate was scattered, and there were pastries and cold dishes all over the place.It doesn't mean that Jianyang opened his mouth, Zhu Huaijing smiled and said: "Little girl, don't worry, it's okay, it's okay." Yu Jianyang couldn't say anything, just said: "Secretary Zhu is easy-going, no wonder everyone says you are approachable. But I think You still have to be strict with our hotel, which is good for us." Zhu Huaijing smiled and said: "If nothing else, you should have someone tear up the notice in the bathroom first." Yu Jianyang opened his eyes when he heard that Too bad I can't remember what the notice was.I went in and looked at it, but I was still puzzled, and asked: "What does Secretary Zhu mean..." Zhu Huaijing said: "Just ask the guests to throw towels and so on in the bathtub. What kind of environmental protection is involved?" Yu Jianyang went in to look again Look, come out and say: "Yes, yes, environmental protection seems to be talked about less recently. We don't study enough, and we can't keep up with the situation. I'll ask them to fix this matter right away. We must pay attention to political study and keep up with the situation at all times. Ah!" Zhu Huaijing was a little dumbfounded, and said, "Younger, don't talk about everything. What does a few dirty towels have to do with politics? You just need to improve the service level." Yu Jianyang still seemed He looked like he understood, but his hands and feet were very fast, and he was about to hang up the phone.Zhu Huaijing waved his hands and said: "It's not about putting out the fire, so there's no need to be in such a hurry." Yu Jianyang always owed his body, and he was respectful, but he seemed to be suffering from a stomachache, and he was reluctantly enduring it. "Secretary Zhu, I'll think about it. I'll arrange a waiter with higher quality to serve you. See Secretary Zhu's opinion." Zhu Huaijing said, "It's not necessary. I think these little girls are very good."

"I'm thinking, if we want to further improve the service level of Building No. 5, we should start by improving the quality of the waiters." Yu Jianyang said. "This is your business work, so I can't speak." Seeing that Yu Jianyang didn't mean to leave immediately, Zhu Huaijing could only laugh and said, "Yu Yu, well, you go and do your work." Yu Jianyang didn't go out for long , knocked on the door again and came in with a service lady.Zhu Huaijing was reading a book, and his heart was quite peaceful.Seeing that Yu Jianyang came again, he was faintly unhappy, but he could only endure it. "Secretary Zhu, this is Xiao Liu, the service star of our hotel. Starting today, Xiao Liu will take care of your life." Yu Jianyang looked at Zhu Huaijing and smiled vigorously.

"Xiao Xiao, as I said, there is no need to arrange a special person." Zhu Huaijing said. Yu Jianyang said: "I know you will talk about me. It is not a special arrangement. On the second floor of Building 5, there are eight suites in total. But only Xiao Liu tidies up Secretary Zhu's room." , not everyone can enter your room. If you need anything, just call Xiao Liu." "I will do my best to serve you well." Xiao Liu stood behind Yu Jianyang, smiling brightly.Afraid of her embarrassment, Zhu Huaijing didn't say anything more, just said: "Okay. I think this place is very good, very good. I just rest here, read a book, alone, it's very simple." Xiao Liu asked: " Secretary Zhu, can you clean the room?" Zhu Huaijing nodded and said, "Okay." Yu Jianyang said not to disturb, and went out.Zhu Huaijing was sitting in the living room reading a book, while Xiao Liu was busy.Xiao Liu moved quickly, but silently, drifting back and forth like the wind.She finished tidying up the bedroom in a while, then closed the door of the bathroom, and rinsed in it.Zhu Huaijing was afraid that the cleanliness of the washroom would be too sloppy, so he was very satisfied to hear that Xiao Liu had been busy there for a long time.Xiao Liu came out, said "Excuse me, Secretary Zhu", and began to tidy up the living room.Zhu Huaijing smiled at her, still buried in his book.I glanced at her casually, and saw that the girl had a good figure.Seeing that Xiao Liu was done, Zhu Huaijing raised his head and asked, "What's Xiao Liu's name?"

"My name is Liu Yun, Yun of all living beings." Liu Yun turned around and replied. "Oh, Liu Yun. Seeing that you are young, you have to work, right?" Zhu Huaijing saw that her forehead was bulging and sweaty, like a melon and fruit with dew in the morning. Liu Yun stopped, stood in front of him, and said, "I'm not young anymore, I'm nineteen years old. I only came here in the second half of last year, and I've been here for less than a year." "It's not too young, it's only nineteen years old! It's a child!" Zhu Huaijing laughed, seeing her lips pursed slightly, with a natural childishness, "Xiao Liu, please sit down."

"We are not allowed to sit in the guest room. If Manager Yu finds out, he will scold people and deduct money." Liu Yun lowered her head, her hair was black and thick. Zhu Huaijing smiled and said, "This is not a guest room, it's my home. You can do whatever you want." "Thank you, Secretary Zhu." A smile slowly spread from her lips, enveloping her entire face.She hesitated, sat down on the sofa opposite Zhu Huaijing, and turned sideways.She held a dry rag in her hand and rubbed it gently on the armrest of the sofa.Zhu Huaijing looked at her hand inadvertently, the wrist was white, tender and round.

"Manager Yu repeatedly said that he wanted me to ensure that Secretary Zhu had a good rest and that I would be there whenever he was called. I'm afraid I can't do well, so I ask Secretary Zhu to criticize me more." Liu Yun raised her eyes to look at Zhu Huaijing, then lowered her head.She was a little panicked, suppressing her tense breathing, and the rise and fall of her chest seemed slow and long. Zhu Huaijing smiled and said, "Don't listen to what Manager Yu said so seriously. As I said, my life is very simple, and I don't have too many troubles for you. Don't worry, just do what you usually do. "The sweat on Liu Yun's forehead became more and more concentrated.Zhu Huaijing said a few polite words and let her go on her own.Liu Yun quickly nodded her thanks and went out quickly.

On Monday morning, Zhu Huaijing was browsing the Meici Daily in his office, and unexpectedly saw a news report about him personally modifying the bathroom notice of the Meiyuan Hotel, saying that he attached great importance to the management of the hotel and would not let go of very small problems.There was nothing wrong at first, but this report actually wrote more than a thousand words.Zhu Huaijing was a little angry, thinking that Yu Jianyang was really busy.This is the first time he has appeared in the "Meiji Daily", and he actually reported such a trivial matter. Zhu Huaijing ate lunch outside and returned to Meiyuan.Yu Jianyang bumped into him in the hall and followed him, looking for something to say.Without saying a word, he went up to the second floor.Liu Yun was standing at the service desk, and when she saw him coming, she blushed when she smiled, and hurried to open the door.Zhu Huaijing only forced a smile, but his face still sank.Zhu Huaijing put down his bag, sat down, and said, "Come in." Yu Jianyang went in and asked, "Has Secretary Zhu eaten?" Did you ask someone to make the report on the Internet?" Yu Jianyang didn't understand what Zhu Huaijing meant, so he asked, "Secretary Zhu, is there any problem?" Zhu Huaijing said with a sullen face, "What's the big deal? It's worth it." Report?" Yu Jianyang hurriedly said: "I know Secretary Zhu doesn't like to promote personal stories. It's written by the young people in our office. I will criticize them and tell them to pay attention in the future." He grabbed the phone while talking .Zhu Huaijing became even angrier, and said, "Younger, don't be so nervous and anxious about everything, you can just talk to the comrades in the office face to face." Yu Jianyang nodded in agreement, but he still couldn't understand Zhu Huaijing. why are you mad.

In the evening, the prefectural committee held a meeting until after eleven o'clock in the night.This was Zhu Huaijing's first time attending a prefectural committee meeting after arriving in Meici.The more you go to the grassroots level, the more procrastinated the meeting will be.You can't blame the leaders below for not being straightforward, because the lower you go, the more specific and complicated things are, and many meetings are often a hodgepodge and a one-pot cooking.Tonight, we first studied economic work, and then several secretaries stayed to study the issue of cadres.He was really tired, and he closed his eyes slightly when he got in the car.It wasn't until the Crown sedan climbed up the gentle slope and flicked lightly that he opened his eyes and realized that he had arrived at Building No. 5 of Meiyuan.

Inadvertently saw a man and a woman next to the peach tree in the garden in front of the building, raising their hands to block the glare of the headlights, trying to see the number of the car clearly, but also trying to hide in the bushes.They must have come to visit him.It's so late, and there are still people waiting here.I wish they weren't looking for him, he wanted to rest earlier. He has only been in office for a few days, and the court has become lively.Every night, someone always comes to the door.Either the department leaders came to report on the work, or the fellows from Wu County who worked in Meici or the students from the Finance Institute came to chat.Gao Qian was the only real college classmate of his, but now the first five classes and the last five classes all came to seek friendship with classmates.Zhu Huaijing didn't dare to neglect them, for fear of getting a bad reputation of not recognizing people; but it was inconvenient to get too warm with them, as his foundation was not solid, and he didn't want people to say that he was playing circles.Although it's popular to play circles in Meiji's place, no one plays in a showy way.This circle and that circle all have a taste of the underground party.Zhu Huaijing was very polite when getting along with those fellow villagers or classmates, but he left room for it, but he gradually got a bottom line in his heart.Maybe one day they will be useful. Zhu Huaijing got out of the car, and his secretary Zhao Yipu made it clear that he would also get out of the car.Zhu Huaijing shook his hand and said, "Xiao Zhao, don't get out of the car, it's too late, let's rest." Zhao Yipu opened the car door, and said respectfully, "Secretary Zhu, then you should leave early How about some rest?" The driver Yang Chong hurriedly said a few polite words, lest he be taken lightly.Every time he comes back, Zhu Huaijing doesn't want Xiao Zhao to get off the car and send him upstairs, but Xiao Zhao always pretends to get off the car every time.Zhao Yipu didn't think it was troublesome, and Zhu Huaijing didn't think it was unnatural.Zhao Yipu has only been with him for a few days, and he is very satisfied.The young man is very active in his mind and diligent in his hands and feet.If one day Zhao Yipu didn't act like he wanted to get off the car to see him off, he would feel something was wrong instead. I just got out of the air-conditioned car and felt the heat wave was a bit overwhelming.Now the climate is getting more and more tempered. It's only after April, so it feels like summer.People just took off their cardigans and immediately put on their shirts.It's a bit like the love of these years, which saves a lot of tedious details, and leads directly to the bed from hand in hand.Zhu Huaijing was secretly humorous, and entered the lobby of Building No. 5.The air conditioner was on inside, and it was immediately cool. With his briefcase under his arm, he held his head high and kept his eyes straight.In private, he was still worried about whether the evasive man and woman came to him.No, it's good, he really wants to sleep.As the official grew up day by day, his gaze became straighter day by day, and it was absolutely impossible not to flick to the side or to look back.He didn't just nod and say hello to people casually, even if the people below called Secretary Zhu hi, he would just reply politely.The good word didn't sound like it came out of the mouth, but hummed from the nostrils.Sometimes you can turn a deaf ear to other people's greetings and just walk forward with your neck stuck.This is not only for the necessary dignity, but in fact it is impossible to just smile and nod when meeting people.He walked through the prefectural committee compound, and most of the people he met wanted to say hello to him.What if he was like an ordinary person, nodding at everyone, not like a chicken pecking at rice all day long?In that way, not only will no one say you are approachable, but they will say that you are not official, and even say that you look like a funny clown.But it wasn't that he didn't see the oncoming people, they all saw them clearly.He will never neglect to greet someone who should be greeted.When some people meet a leader, they think that the leader is only looking up at the sky, so they get away with it. If they don’t say hello to the leader, they are actually fools.The leader is far-sighted, and even your hesitation and evasion, he has already seen clearly, maybe he is sneering at you in his heart, maybe he has made a small account of you.Of course Zhu Huaijing is not so petty, he understands the people below.When he himself was an ordinary cadre, he found it strange to see some leaders with sullen faces all day long and their eyes straightened like wooden fish eyes.I thought that you, as a leader, have a bitter face all day long, and if you make others feel uncomfortable, you will feel uncomfortable too!That must be short-lived!It never occurred to him that he himself would do the same.How to behave is not up to oneself. Although he was tired, when he went upstairs, he still intentionally made his steps look more elastic, with his waist straightened.But his ears were paying attention to the sound of the stairs below, to see if the man and woman were following him.He was relieved when he heard no footsteps. Seeing him, Liu Yun called out, "Hello, Secretary Zhu." She hurriedly took the key card to open the door.Zhu Huaijing said that he had a key card, so there was no need to bother.Liu Yun just turned around and smiled, opened the door, and said, "Secretary Zhu, please." He always felt that Liu Yun's enthusiasm was somewhat shy. Zhu Huaijing went straight to the bathroom, brushed his teeth, and washed his face.When the doorbell rang, he stopped and looked at himself in the mirror, his mouth full of toothpaste bubbles.He listened to the doorbell, didn't want to pay attention to it, and still brushed his teeth.But the doorbell rang again.He flushed his face a little bit angrily, grabbed the towel to dry himself off, and walked slowly through the living room to open the door. When he opened the door, there was a smile on his face.No matter how angry you are in your heart, when people come to your door, you have to greet them with a smile.The first thing he saw was a woman with big eyes, long and curled eyelashes, who smiled and called, "Hello, Secretary Zhu." Behind the woman was a young man, also smiling. "Excuse me, both of you..." Zhu Huaijing asked. The woman smiled sweetly and said, "Secretary Zhu, I am Wu Hong's cousin..." "Oh, Wu Hong's cousin? Please come in, please come in! Wu Hong called me a long time ago, talking about you. I was thinking about this these days, why didn't you come? I don't know your phone number, It's not good to contact you." Zhu Huaijing was very polite.After the two entered the room and sat down, Zhu Huaijing asked, "This is your younger brother Shu Tian?" The young man nodded hurriedly and said hello to Secretary Zhu.The woman introduced herself: "My name is Shu Chang, and I work in a regional material company." Zhu Huaijing looked at Shu Chang, and felt his eyes were swollen, his face was itchy, and he couldn't help but want to raise his hand to scratch his head.He resisted all unnatural behavior and tried to appear as calm as possible.But wondering why I am like this?He wanted to get up and pour tea for the guests, but his feet felt stiff.Afraid of being at a loss, I became vague.At this time, Liu Yun knocked on the door and came in, asking: "Do you need tea for the guests?" Zhu Huaijing nodded with a smile and thanked him.Liu Yun poured tea, said in a low voice to excuse me, and went out immediately. Zhu Huaijing began to talk with Shu Tian, ​​but never looked at Shu Chang.Shu Tian seemed to be very talkative, answering ten questions.Shu Chang felt that his younger brother was talking too much, so he glanced at him.However, Zhu Huaijing saw that the young man spoke calmly, not as stiff as when he just entered the door, and he looked refreshing, so he admired him a little, and asked: "You said that Shu Yao from the TV station is your sister? She is the best announcer in our area." " Shu Chang said modestly on behalf of his sister: "Why, she just made her debut, and she needs your secretary Zhu to care more. Today she wanted to visit Secretary Zhu together, but there is a program tonight, so she can't come." He added: "I've been planning to come to see you these few days. I'm sorry to see you so busy." "You're welcome, Wu Hong and I are both classmates and good friends, so you should be more casual." Zhu Huaijing glanced at Shu Chang, quickly looked away, turned to ask Shu Tian: "Where did you graduate? How many years have you been working? "Shu Tian replied: "Graduated from the Chinese Department of Jingdu University. He has worked for three years and has been working in the Regional Federation of Trade Unions. Now he is a postgraduate student. He is teaching by correspondence. He is about to graduate." I told you about you on the phone. He has great powers in Beijing, I dare not not accept his account! Well, you can put the report here." After hearing what Zhu Huaijing said, well, the siblings can't take care of it. After a few words of courtesy for my cousin, I stood up and said that it was too late, and I came to trouble Secretary Zhu.Zhu Huaijing also stood up, just smiled, saying that it doesn't matter.Naturally, he said a few polite words about the gift they brought, but he couldn't refuse it, so he accepted it.It's nothing more than cigarettes and alcohol, it's not a big deal, and after all, they are cousins ​​of classmates, so it makes sense to accept their favors.Zhu Huaijing stood at the door, watching the siblings with a very polite expression.There was no one in the corridor, and Liu Yun had already slept in the duty room next to the service desk.Shu Chang walked behind her younger brother and waved to Zhu Huaijing.Zhu Huaijing looked at her as if nothing had happened, and smiled.This woman is so beautiful, it makes people feel guilty when they look at it!The moment Shu Chang turned the corner and went downstairs, her snow-white arm waved, flashed brightly, and disappeared. Zhu Huaijing closed the door and went to the bathroom to wash his face.But there was always a white shadow faintly flashing in front of his eyes, as if the power went out when he looked up at the lamp, and the phantom of the lamp was still lingering in the darkness.He didn't dare to look at Shu Chang carefully just now, it seemed that she was very white, tall and tall, and her eyes were so big that people dared not look at her.She was wearing a white top and a red floral skirt.The shirt was sleeveless, but it was buttoned up, and the collar was turned up, which was so tight that it made people look plump.For some reason, seeing Shu Chang today, he was as embarrassed as a little boy.He is also an experienced person, how could this happen?Her younger sister Shu Yao is often seen on TV, and she is considered the most beautiful announcer on Meiji TV.The two sisters look alike.When he first arrived in Meici, he was very unaccustomed to watching local TV. He always felt that it was inferior to those in the city, and even the announcers seemed a bit rustic.But he is the leader of the prefectural committee, and he can't do without watching the local news.After a few days, I got used to it.Slowly, I became familiar with the names of several main announcers.The one who impressed me the most was Shu Yao, with short hair, big eyes, and clear lip line. A few days ago, Wu Hong specially called to recommend his cousin Shu Tian.What Wu Hong meant was that it would be best to arrange for Shu Tian to be his secretary.He agreed wholeheartedly, but hesitated in his heart.Find a secretary, don't be hasty.Besides, the current secretary, Zhao Yipu, was arranged by the prefectural committee, and he hasn't been with him for long, so it's inconvenient to replace him immediately.Leaders cannot designate their own secretaries, which is also a rule of the prefectural committee.He wanted to transfer Shu Tian to the prefectural committee first, and wait for a while.There must be a procedure for everything, I believe Wu Hong will understand. Wu Hong was the best assigned classmate of their class, and entered Beijing.But in the early years, Wu Hong always felt unsatisfactory, and often called him to say something discouraging.Beijing is really too big and too unfathomable. Any conceited genius will feel mediocre once he arrives in Beijing.Mr. Wu Hong said that he sounds like he works in some kind of bird department, but in fact he is nothing.At that time, Zhu Huaijing was the deputy county magistrate of Wu County, but in Wu Hong's view, he was in charge.Later, Wu Hong went up step by step, but he still didn't think it was very interesting.He said that there are too many high-ranking officials in Beijing, and if those high-ranking officials are used as a frame of reference in life, it will always make people short of breath.So he went into the sea when he was at the deputy director level.At first, he opened a company under the Ministry, and after a few years of working, he set up another company and founded Tuyuan Industrial Co., Ltd.After all, Wu Hong had worked in a government department. He was well-connected, well-connected, and knew how to handle affairs. After only five or six years, he became a well-known private entrepreneur. Zhu Huaijing lay on the bed and opened a copy of "Lookout".He was alone in Meici, lonely every night, always flipping through books before going to bed, he was used to it.But the phone rang.He shook his hand slightly, knowing that it was his wife Chen Xiangmei again.Picking up the phone, but no sound was heard, it was indeed her.Xiangmei didn't send him to Meiji, and she never came to visit him. Instead, she called every few days to discuss divorce with him.The phone always rings in the middle of the night, and now he has been busy all day, dizzy, and just lay down; Xiangmei, who is far away in Jingdu, has also finished her housework, and her son has finished his homework and went to bed .When the phone is connected, there is often silence first, then quarrel, and finally hang up in silence.He knew that he had hurt Xiangmei too much, but he made up his mind not to divorce her.Even if the two are married in name, they still have to make do with it.He can't tell whether he is going with the wind or against the current, and he can't add to the trouble because of the marriage problem. As early as five or six months ago, when he was still waiting for the post in Jingdu, Xiangmei proposed to break up.He refused to die.He was disheartened, and he seemed to come to Meici with a sense of vicissitudes.The feeling in his heart is not like going to be the deputy secretary of the prefectural committee, but rather like being assigned to Cangzhou.Outsiders naturally don't understand the pain in his heart, and it seems that he is still full of spring.The next time he came to Meiyuan, it happened to be late spring, and the peach blossoms were falling all over the mountains outside the city, and the peach blossoms were also blooming in front of Building No. 5 of Meiyuan, where he temporarily lived. After he came to Mei several times, he never returned to Jingdu.Nowadays, there are a few jingles circulating, talking about the separation of leading cadres and husbands and wives: leaders communicate, and cars cost gas.The husband is chic and the wife is romantic.His experience in Jingdu was too deep-rooted, and he didn't dare to have any more "chic" stories.I haven't heard from Mei Yuqin for a long time, how is she doing? He was very afraid of hearing the phone ringing in the middle of the night, so he turned the ringer down very low.But when it was quieter, he was exhausted and drowsy, and the phone would still ring.Unexpectedly, the lowered phone ringtone felt even more terrifying.The voice seemed to pass through the thick stratum, and came from the gloomy palace of the underworld.He would wake up terrified, with a pounding heart, shortness of breath, and feeling like he was going to collapse.He always held the phone like a wooden man, stopped talking too much, and didn't argue with Xiangmei, listened to her, let her yell, and waited for her to hang up the phone. He didn't say anything tonight, and Xiangmei started to cry while talking.Zhu Huaijing only said twice that you don't want to cry, so she stopped persuading her and let her cry.The phone hung up amid Xiangmei's crying. He was very tired, but he didn't feel sleepy.Thinking of what I have experienced in Jingdu these years, I can vividly remember everything, as if I have passed away.Before coming to Mei times, he visited Mei Yuqin in the detention center.Her face was pale and swollen, and her eyes were a little dull.He really wanted to know how she was doing, but he didn't dare to visit her again, and he didn't dare to ask his friends. Suddenly thinking of his son Qiqi, Zhu Huaijing's heart tightened for a while.The curtains were drawn tightly, and the room was so dark that space seemed to disappear.He even had the illusion that he was not lying on the bed, but floating in the endless darkness, like a weightless floating corpse in space.In the darkness, he seemed to see his son's eyes flashing in front of his eyes.Back in Jingdu, when he was very proud, he suddenly found that his son's eyes were unpredictable.He was deeply disturbed by this.He had more and more strange associations, feeling that his son's eyeballs were like a mouse lurking at the entrance of a hole, dodging, lingering, peeping, cowardly, cunning, cold... everything. His life sucks!However, he can only wrap his stomach full of bitterness, together with his leadership art, self-cultivation, privacy, etc., in a belly full of fat, and cannot shake out a single bit.He is new here, his words and deeds are all about his image. These days, he secretly thought about Miao Ming and Lu Tianyi, and found that they were indeed fighting openly and secretly.Zhu Huaijing was going to pretend to be confused and not get involved in any disputes between them.He is in charge of organizational work, and the departments below seem to listen to him.That's it.He remembered that more than ten years ago, he once chatted with his neighbor on the train, and the conversation became more and more heated, and he almost became friends.Just when he was about to hand out his business card to others, he suddenly thought: Who knows who this man is?He immediately dismissed the idea of ​​handing over the card.This is just a trivial matter that anyone may encounter, but it made him realize some enlightenment related to life: on the train, you only need to ask the neighbors to behave well, so as not to pick your wallet when you doze off; In the process, you only need to ask your colleagues to work with you, and you don't care whether he is sincere and noble, etc.He increasingly doubts whether people can really understand others, and he often feels that he doesn't know much about himself.So why care who these mild-mannered colleagues and subordinates are? But some things cannot be avoided.Zhu Huaijing felt that it was difficult to deal with when he finally studied the arrangement of cadres tonight.Although he is the deputy secretary in charge of cadres, most of the plans put forward by the organization department were inspired by Miao Ming and Lu Tianyi.He has just come to Meiji, so it is impossible to have too much right to speak.The right to speak is not exactly the same as the position. It also depends on your qualifications, foundation, popularity and influence, etc.He is a smart man, he doesn't want to express his opinions too much, he just wants to find out the details at the meeting. In such a meeting, although the words of the leading comrades are implicit and cryptic, it does not hinder the expression of intentions and is full of official wisdom.Those faces may be serious, easy-going, or empty, but they all look very well-bred.It is almost more difficult than Madame Curie's refining radium to figure out something real from these facial makeup.But Zhu Huaijing was a talented chemist. He mixed the noses, eyes, eyebrows, mouths and yawns of these people together, and quickly extracted a truth: Miao Ming and Lu Tianyi were indeed at odds with each other.In fact, this is what his old classmate Gao Qian told him long ago, and he just secretly verified it time and time again. At tonight's meeting, Zhu Huaijing had to keep talking, and he couldn't talk nonsense.He has always spoken official Chinese slowly, and tonight he slowed down the pace even more, thinking about every wording.He thought of Miao Ming in his heart, but it was inconvenient to offend Lu Tianyi explicitly, and he had to take Xiang Yanping and Xing Ziyun into consideration.Miao Ming's hands are always rubbing his lower abdomen, he doesn't know if it's because he has a well-thought-out plan, or because he feels guilty.This kind of meeting for the appointment of research cadres made him feel that several leaders were sharing the spoils.Naturally, the meeting was procrastinated, and the last few proposals for the appointment of cadres were finally passed in principle, but a proposal by the deputy director of the Finance Bureau was rejected.Except for Zhu Huaijing, everyone knew that Chen Dongsheng, who was going to be the deputy director, was Lu Tianyi's secretary when he was the secretary of the county party committee, and now he is the section chief of the first secretary section of the administrative office.Zhu Huaijing saw that the meeting was too stiff, and he was the deputy secretary in charge of cadres after all, so he didn't know the details, so he said that since the plan was not mature, let's let it go.The meeting broke up amidst the sound of yawning. When Zhu Huaijing got up, he saw Miao Ming looking at him and nodded inadvertently.His heart trembled slightly, and his back was almost sweating.He immediately understood that Miao Ming was expressing his gratitude to him.He thought that since Miao Ming understood his intentions, Lu Tianyi naturally knew it too.After all, Zhu Huaijing has seen storms before, and he is not afraid of any complicated personnel relations, but feels that it is inconvenient to fall into a dilemma prematurely. Zhu Huaijing gradually became a little drowsy, but his mind was still half awake thinking about the appointment and removal of personnel tonight.After all, he has just come to Meiji, and he still doesn't fully understand the ins and outs of those personnel relationships, and he can't tell who is who.He didn't even know that Chen Dongsheng's face was long and round, but he just said let it go, which might have changed the fate of this person.There are many ambiguous and extremely lethal technical terms in officialdom, and "Fang Fang" belongs to this category.When officials say "release", the tone is always understatement, but the meaning is unpredictable, sometimes it is postponement, sometimes it is delay, and sometimes it is shelved.Zhu Huaijing vaguely felt that Lu Tianyi had the upper hand in the appointment and dismissal tonight.He secretly leaned towards Miao Ming, and he couldn't tell whether it was right or wrong.He seemed to be asleep, but his brain suddenly shook, and he woke up with a start.The light from the street lamps outside came in slightly, and everything in the room was illusory and grotesque.
