The next day, Zhu Huaijing and his wife paid attention to their son to see if there was anything unusual about him.Kiki is still listless, as if nothing has changed.It is inconvenient for the couple to point it out, and it is just that the spell does not take effect so quickly. After breakfast, I heard someone knocking on the door.Xiangmei looked at Zhu Huaijing, a little annoyed, and said softly, "Who, you didn't even make a call, and you knocked on the door so early?" Then she got up, leaned over the cat's eye, looked back, and said, "It seems She's a nun." Did she come from Qingyun Nunnery?Xiangmei motioned to Zhu Huaijing to open the door or not, and Zhu Huaijing nodded.

As soon as the door opened, I saw a middle-aged nun with folded hands, Amitabha.Xiangmei asked, "Master, what's the matter?" The nun took out a notebook from her purse, and said softly, "Amitabha, I am from Jingshan Temple. I am here to make a fortune. I ask the almsgiver to be merciful. No matter how much it is, it is all merit." Hearing that it was from Jingshan Temple, Zhu Huaijing also became interested, got up and asked, "How are you, Master Yuanzhen?" The nun said: "Master Yuanzhen is very good, thank you benefactor. He came out with me this time for alms, and went back to the monastery first."

When Zhu Huaijing heard this, he felt something was wrong, thinking that such a person as Master Yuanzhen, how could he come out to beg for alms?Then he asked, "Who is the abbot of Jingshan Temple?" The nun faltered and said, "The abbot of Poor Mountain is Master Bodhidharma." Zhu Huaijing understood a little when he heard it, and couldn't help laughing: "Sakyamuni!" He thought that this fake nun actually knew Master Bodhidharma. Where did the nun think that Zhu Huaijing and the abbot of Jingshan Temple, Master Yuanzhen, were friends?She was still stubborn and said, "Are you suspicious of me? You see, I have a proof here, with the official seal of Jingshan Temple."

Zhu Huaijing stopped laughing, and said sternly, "You better leave now!" The nun was also angry, but her tone was still soft: "You seem to be an official, why do you discriminate against religious people so much? It's okay not to give alms, don't doubt us casually!" Zhu Huaijing became angry and said: "People like you who cheat under the cloak of religion must be severely punished!" The nun seemed to be giving up immediately, and cursed loudly, "Why do you say that I am a liar? Black and white letters and red seals, you can see for yourself!"

At this time, Zhou Kelin, the secretary-general living upstairs, heard the sound and shouted sharply, "Who is making trouble here?" "There's a cheating nun here, and I asked people from the security department to take her away from the capitalists," Zhu Huaijing said before closing the door.After hearing the fake nun shouting and cursing for a while, there was no sound. About half an hour later, Zhou Kelin knocked on the door and came in, saying: "Report to Secretary Zhu, that is indeed a fake nun. We have sent her to the police station. Recently, the security work of the agency has been lax. I have already told Comrade Zhang Zaiqiang that we must He immediately called the security department to study it this morning, and no miscellaneous personnel should be allowed into the compound. I would like to hold another security work meeting at an appropriate time, and invite the responsible comrades in charge of security and the director of the office of all units in the courtyard to participate. If possible , ask Secretary Zhu to come to the scene to give instructions."

Zhu Huaijing said: "Okay, let's have a meeting. The security work of the agency is about to be caught. I won't talk about it. You can just talk about it." Zhou Kelin hurriedly replied: "All right, let me go and talk. I will hold this meeting as soon as possible." Zhou Kelin decided to ask about other matters, so he said he would not disturb him, and left. Seeing off Zhou Kelin, Zhu Huaijing felt indescribably good.He couldn't say a word, and the people below had to refine his instructions as much as possible, almost creating a systematic project.This is the magic of the officialdom mechanism.But Zhu Huaijing was only flustered for a moment, then calmed down, and even secretly laughed at himself for being petty.He thought that this might also be a scary place in officialdom.In the history of China, the more cruel officials there are, the truth is here.

Because of this fake nun, Zhu Huaijing remembered that Yuan Zhen had come, and hung up the phone on a whim.Yuan Zhen said: "Thank you, Secretary Zhu, you have maintained the image of our Jingshan Temple by doing this. You are too busy now, and I haven't seen you for a long time. You are welcome to visit Poor Mountain and have a cup of tea." Zhu Huaijing said: "Okay, next time I come to Jingdu, I will definitely go up the mountain to visit you and listen to you talk about Buddha." Zhu Huaijing didn't want to go out today, so he had a good rest at home.Unexpectedly, after ten o'clock in the morning, he received a call from Yu Jianyang. "Is Secretary Zhu? Hello. Let me report to you that Liu Yun is sick, and I have sent her to the hospital to stay."

Zhu Huaijing was very angry.Of course he was concerned about Liu Yun's illness, but Yu Jianyang was really an asshole when he called to report to him.Either this surnamed Yu is really a fool who pretends to be smart, or he really thinks that he is the same as Liu Yun.I'm afraid he will be very proud that he has accomplished something good.Zhu Huaijing was upset, but he still had to ask, "What's wrong? Where do you live?" Yu Jianyang said: "It's not a serious illness, but a bad cold. It's just that the symptoms are so severe that people have passed out with a fever. I arranged for her to live in the veteran ward of the District People's Hospital, where the conditions are better."

"Oh, I see." Zhu Huaijing became more and more disgusted. Yu Jianyang actually arranged for Liu to be in Lao Gan's ward, he thought this was flattering Zhu Huaijing. Not knowing how the child was doing now, he still wanted to go and see, so he called a car.Xiangmei knew that he was going to the hospital to see someone, so she didn't ask any more questions.After Yang Chong arrived, he rang the doorbell and went downstairs, and Zhu Huaijing said, "Go to the hospital." When he got to the hospital gate, Zhu Huaijing said, "Buy some fruit, let's buy some flower baskets."

Yang Chong sent Zhu Huaijing to the ward and came out immediately.It was a single room, and Liu Yun was lying alone on the hospital bed.Seeing Zhu Huaijing, Liu Yun's eyes were wide open, and she couldn't speak for a long time.Zhu Huaijing touched her forehead and said, "Do you still have a fever?" Liu Yun shook her head, tears came out.Zhu Huaijing grabbed her hand, patted it, and said, "Silly boy, why are you crying? A bad cold is just uncomfortable, and it will get better soon." Liu Yun nodded vigorously, but the tears still couldn't be stopped.Zhu Huaijing smiled and said, "Fortunately, I found out, so I came to see you. It's just a fever and headache, isn't it? Cough?" Liu Yun just looked at him with teary eyes, nodded, shook her head, without uttering a word.He felt that Liu Yun's hand was first placed softly in his, and then slowly squeezed him tightly.He had been faintly aware of the child's thoughts long ago, but he always pretended to be confused on purpose.

"She's beautiful, isn't she?" Liu Yun asked suddenly, her voice slightly sandy. Zhu Huaijing was a little puzzled and said, "Who is it?" Liu Yun said, "That lady with glasses." Unexpectedly, Liu Yun also saw the newspaper, so Zhu Huaijing smiled and prevaricated: "I thought you were talking about who, she is my cousin, silly child, when you grow up, you will be more beautiful than him." Liu Yun squeezed her hands tighter, closed her eyes, and tears flowed out.She said in a hoarse voice, "I don't know what's wrong with me, but I just feel that you are very close. I want to be close to you, sometimes...even want to be by your side...by your side...to act like a baby. But I Knowing I'm nothing, I'm not your daughter, and I'm not your sister, and I'm not your...not your somebody. I'm so stupid, aren't I? Seeing you let someone else do that again, I thought you... thought you didn't like me anymore." Zhu Huaijing patted her on the face and said, "Who said? Why don't you like you? I thought, I can't let you know the complexity of the matter. You are still young, it's not good to know too much about some things, really It's not good. You should live happily, and you should dream more." It was the first time that Liu Yun said so many words to him, but these words made him shudder.This kid finally spoke his mind.But he still could only pretend that he half understood, squeezed her hand, and joked with her as if it was nothing.Time can't stay too long, he stretched out his fingers to smooth her hair, and said: "Good boy, be obedient, take a good rest. If you have a cold, rest is the best treatment. You must follow the doctor's advice and take medicine on time. Don't be coquettish." Liu Yun nodded and then smiled.The mouth is slightly pursed, coquettish. Seeing Zhu Huaijing coming out, Yang Chong quickly got out of the car and opened the door.The two of them didn't speak for a while, and the atmosphere was a little uncomfortable.Zhu Huaijing was thinking about something when Yang Chong said, "Secretary Zhu really cares about people. Everyone respects you, which is justified." Zhu Huaijing said casually, "Xiao Liu is very sensible. I am in Meiyuan After staying for such a long time, she is the one who serves me tea, washes my clothes and shines my shoes, she is very obedient." He sighed jokingly, "I don't have the blessing of a daughter, it would be great if I had a daughter." Yang Chong smiled and said, "It's also called being full without knowing the hunger. If you have a son, just say daughter is good. I am the daughter of birth. My wife always wants a son in her dreams." The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then Naturally.Zhu Huaijing stopped talking and leaned lazily in the car.Thinking of this poor child Liu Yun, he really wanted to kiss her just now, but he was afraid of making her more anxious.He felt a lump in his chest and wanted to breathe heavily for a while.But he was afraid that Yang Chong would look strange, so he had to hold back the inexplicable lump in his stomach. On Monday morning, Zhu Huaijing was arranging work for Shao Yunhong. The secretary department sent "Meici Daily". Zhu Huaijing opened it and saw a news on it: "Secretary Zhu Wisdom Breaks the Fake Nun".When Zhu Huaijing saw it, he was furious.Just looking at the news headlines makes me angry.Everyone usually omits the adverb of Deputy Secretary Zhu, but when it falls on the white paper, it is absolutely unavoidable.God knows what Miao Ming will think?Also, the broken characters are used nondescriptly, and it is slightly better to change them to literacy.He doesn't even want to destroy a fake nun, even a fairy!Besides, if such things are worth reporting, others will think that Zhu Huaijing is fooling around all day long and has nothing to show, so they will use some frivolous news as important activities to publicize.This is almost the same routine as what Lu Tianyi played.Knowing that this report might have been instigated by Zhou Kelin, he invited him over and said, "Comrade Kelin, tell the newspaper office to clarify a discipline. From now on, all reports involving the activities of leading comrades must be reviewed by the leader himself in principle." If you agree, at least report it. Otherwise, there will be trouble." Zhou Kelin knew that he had done something bad with good intentions, but he couldn't justify himself.Zhu Huaijing didn't point it out, but just gave an instruction in such a general way.Zhou Kelin concealed the embarrassment on his face, and nodded repeatedly.Zhu Huaijing spoke to Zhou Kelin so seriously, Shao Yunhong felt embarrassed, but he couldn't avoid it.Fortunately, without saying a few words, Zhou Kelin nodded and went out.At this moment, Zhao Yipu came over and reported, "Secretary Zhu, that Cui Li from Jingdu Daily came here again, and he said he wanted to visit you." "Is there anything good to visit? Didn't he say anything?" Zhu Huaijing asked. Seeing Shao Yunhong sitting here, Zhao Yipu was afraid that Zhu Huaijing would not be free, so he said, "Then I'll just return him? He didn't say anything, he just said he wanted to see you." Zhu Huaijing looked up at the clock on the wall, and said, "Let him come in twenty minutes." Zhu Huaijing continued: "Yunhong, Comrade Miao Ming attaches great importance to this topic. You are responsible for organizing the research. Accelerating the reform of the rural tax and fee system and effectively reducing the burden on farmers is a very important task, so this topic must be done well. The purpose is to prepare for the soon-to-be-launched reform of the rural tax and fee system and to gain the initiative. It is necessary to conduct in-depth and detailed investigation and research, to consider problems systematically and comprehensively, and to understand the situation as thoroughly as possible. The proposed measures and methods must be It is operable. In a word, it is a systematic project to take farmers’ burdens into consideration together with the reform of the township financial system, the reform of township institutions, and the reform of the education system.” Shao Yunhong said: "With Secretary Zhu personally in charge, we are confident that we will do a good job in this subject research. However, it may be difficult to fully meet your Secretary Zhu's requirements. You recently published "On Strengthening Enterprise Leadership" in "Jingdu Work Research" Thoughts on Team Construction", Secretary Wang Mangzhi of the Municipal Party Committee also gave important instructions. I organized the comrades in the room to study your article carefully. We learn from both viewpoints and writing skills. How to learn from the perspective of full investigation and research? , Refining ideas and tempering writing are our weak links." What Shao Yunhong said was on the scene, and Zhu Huaijing didn't feel unnatural when he heard it.Tell the truth, how can there be so much to say?Between the upper and lower margins, there are naturally more conversations on the scene.Zhu Huaijing is generally generous to his subordinates, and he praises them as much as he can.He said: "The work of your political research office is still good, and the writing level is relatively good. Of course, there is no limit to writing, and you still have to have high standards and strict requirements." Shao Yunhong said a few words of modesty, and said yes a few more times, but couldn't help but sighed.His current situation is actually very helpless.Since the day he started working, he has been engaged in secretarial work, honed for many years, and finally stands out.Being able to sit in the position of director of the policy research office is Meiji's first pen.He has also served several prefectural committee secretaries, and all previous leaders are satisfied with his work.Although he is not a complacent person, as time goes by, his self-confidence in writing official articles is getting stronger and stronger.It never occurred to him that any article drafted by him would be a waste of time as long as it was placed on Miao Ming's desk.In the first few times, he comforted himself: Leaders have their own tastes, and they will get used to it slowly, and they will find their feelings.However, he has been drafting the manuscript for Miao Ming for two years, and he has not passed the test once, so he is a little discouraged. The pen that was recognized in the past can't write a single word well now.I can't help feeling angry: Since you rewrite everything by yourself every time, don't ask us to write it in advance!Why let us work in vain?It's not practicing calligraphy!But even though he was suffering in every possible way, he had no choice but to be bored in his heart.Only once, when I was having dinner at home, I saw my son would not eat this kind of food or that kind of food, so I said to my wife: "That Miao Ming always thinks that the world's articles are only good for him, but in fact he is like a child eating, partial eclipse!" Zhu Huaijing didn't know that Shao Yunhong was so difficult to do, of course he didn't understand why he sighed, he just thought it was too hard for him. "The writing work is tiring, I'm from here." Zhu Huaijing was very considerate.The "Jingdu Work Research" was placed on the table, and Zhu Huaijing casually took it in his hand, and knocked on the table a few times.He didn't expect Wang Mangzhi to criticize his article.That comment seemed to carry a lot of weight: Under the new situation, the construction of enterprise leadership groups is facing many new situations and new problems. Seriously studying and solving these problems has become a major issue for leading cadres at all levels.Comrade Zhu Huaijing's article has more detailed materials, more thorough analysis, and the suggestions put forward are also very enlightening, and it is worth reading carefully by leaders at all levels.We must continue to vigorously advocate the development of solid investigation and research, and further improve the level of decision-making and leadership. A few days ago, Zhu Huaijing just received this issue of "Research on Work in Jingdu". After reading Wang Mangzhi's instructions, he was a little excited for some reason.Leaders also have their own styles. Some words and deeds have profound meanings, and they generally don't say or do anything casually;For example, if you comment on the articles of your subordinates, once some leaders make comments for you, it means that he has begun to pay attention to you, or is ready to reuse you; otherwise, even if your writing is really comparable, he will turn a blind eye.Some leaders are different. He may give instructions without hesitation, either on a whim or because he likes to show authority.In his pen, an article is an article, a comment is a comment, there is no other symbolic meaning, and your excitement is in vain.No one can tell what kind of leader this Wang Mang belongs to.However, even if Wang Mangzhi is a casual leader, when he really wants to reuse you that day, his instructions can be regarded as preparations for public opinion.The leaders of the lower-level agencies attach great importance to publishing articles in the internal journals of the higher-level organs. Of course, being able to publish articles in the internal journals of the Central Committee and the State Council is considered bullish.Because this is a publication that leaders at all levels pay attention to.Newspapers and magazines are mass media after all, and whether you become an official or not is not decided by the masses.What's more, his article Wang Mangzhi also made a comment?The instruction is one hundred and thirty-one characters long, and if punctuation marks are added, it is as long as one hundred and forty-two characters!Zhu Huaijing counted them word by word.Thinking about it this way, Zhu Huaijing still had reason to be excited. Twenty minutes later, Cui Li followed Zhao Yipu and arrived on time. "Hello, Secretary Zhu, you are very busy." Zhu Huaijing stood up and shook hands with him warmly, "Not busy, not busy, when did you arrive?" "I arrived early this morning. Secretary Zhu cared too much about me, so I came to report to you first." Cui Li took the tea from Zhao Yipu and replied.Shao Yunhong and Cui Li were old acquaintances, so they stayed to talk with him.At this time, Shu Tian passed by the door, casually glanced inside, saw that Cui Li was here, and everyone knew him, so he came in to say hello.He didn't want to disturb at first, and was about to go out after saying hello, but Zhu Huaijing asked him to sit down too. "This time, I didn't specify a specific task. I want to ask Secretary Zhu, what good news clues have you had recently?" Cui Li said.What he meant was that he wanted to get some good news, such as successful experiences, advanced models, etc., preferably related to the work in charge of Zhu Huaijing.It can be regarded as thanking Zhu Huaijing for settling that matter for him last time, of course it is hard to say clearly.Journalists always think that by writing a positive report for someone, they are doing someone a huge favor.Zhu Huaijing has dealt with articles for a long time, and after seeing them a lot, he doesn't take them seriously, but it's just an article!Then he joked: "Cui Li, you are lazy, I will help you with the topic, you can complete the task and earn the manuscript fee." Cui Li smiled and said: "Where is it? I want to listen to Secretary Zhu's instructions. Your Mashan experience is really a good topic, but you have only published a big report. Otherwise, if you have any articles that you need to publish, I can also bring them to you." Go back. Sending your Secretary Zhu's article will add color to our newspaper!" Zhu Huaijing said: "There is one article. Last time Shu Tian wrote for me "Thoughts on Strengthening the Construction of Enterprise Leadership Teams". Cui Li said: "Of course it can be used. The internal magazine does not conflict with our newspaper." "I'll ask Shu Tian to find you a copy later." Zhu Huaijing said. Cui Li said: "Our theory section just lacks decent articles. Secretary Zhu's articles must be of a high level and can add color to our newspaper." "I told you, Shu Tian wrote it for me." Zhu Huaijing laughed. Shao Yunhong looked at Shu Tian with admiration, and said: "Nowadays, young people are not willing to work hard on writing. It is indeed not easy for Shu Tian's articles to be liked by Secretary Zhu." In fact, Shao Yunhong is not very old, just because As the director of the political research office, he is more mature in speaking and doing things, so he always likes to call others young, but Zhao Yipu, who is also considered a young man at the moment, has an unnatural expression on his face. Shu Tian hurriedly said: "Where is it? It's Secretary Zhu's thoughts. I just organize it in words." Zhu Huaijing just smiled and didn't care about this topic.Everyone in the world knows that the articles of leading cadres are caught by the secretary, and there is no need to taboo this.Zhu Huaijing understands this well. In his view, Zhu Huaijing is an individual, while Zhu Huaijing, secretary of the prefectural committee, is a professional person, or simply a system.Therefore, any article under Zhu Huaijing's name, no matter how incisive, profound and literary, has little to do with him.Unlike Miao Ming, who regards articles as his lifeblood, he is almost a bit paranoid, and he will lose the big for a small one! Cui Li seemed to see that Zhu Huaijing didn't appreciate it, but he still wanted to make the most of it. He said, "Secretary Zhu, I often come to Meici and find that you have the highest prestige among the cadres at all levels in Meici." Zhu Huaijing quickly waved his hands and said, "You can't say that." Cui Li's words are really taboo, maybe he would say this in front of any leader, it's actually very stupid.Zhu Huaijing even wanted to play with humor, reminding Cui Li that if he said this in front of Miao Ming, he had to change "highest" to "very high", because he was the top leader, so he had the highest prestige of course. At this time, Cui Li had no choice but to explain clearly, "I really want to find a news story and write a good article about the work that Secretary Zhu is in charge of. Secretary Zhu, you really need to come up with an idea for me." Zhu Huaijing leaned back and chose a very comfortable posture, but his eyes could only look at the ceiling, "Thank you, Cui Li. I am only in charge of a part of the work of the prefectural committee under the leadership of Comrade Miao Ming. What achievements have been made is also the result of everyone's joint efforts. I dare not be greedy for the achievements of the sky!" "You, Secretary Zhu, are modest," Cui Li said.At this time, Zhu Huaijing straightened his body and said seriously: "Well, if you are interested, you can consider this second clue. Create a new situation in the work. There is a lot to do here. The most important thing is that Comrade Miao Ming, as the leader, is a good squad leader and good at coordination, so that the whole team has achieved a high degree of unity. Second, our prefectural committee attaches great importance to the construction of cadres. In particular, we have stepped up efforts to combat corruption and uphold integrity, further improving the overall quality of the cadre team." Cui Li said: "All right, these are two big issues." Zhu Huaijing is neither deaf nor stupid. Of course, he knows that Umeci's leadership team is not united, and the masses have great opinions on corruption, but he didn't mean to be funny.He is indeed looking at the overall situation, and wants Cui Li to report these two issues positively, so as to eliminate some negative effects.Sometimes a newspaper is like the words on a seal, you have to read it backwards. Hearing that Zhu Huaijing asked two questions, Shao Yunhong, Zhao Yipu and Shu Tian also nodded.Although they follow behind the leaders every day, it is difficult to understand the entanglements, grievances and grievances among the leaders, as well as the origin of many things.Even if they feel the truth, they generally dare not make an objective judgment, and would rather miss themselves.These people are usually the ones who miss leadership the most, because they tend to think with a leader's head.Of course, if they are die-hard brothers who are absolutely trusted by a certain leader, they may know something inside.These inside stories may subvert some sacred things in their hearts, making them either mature, depressed, or sinister and cunning, it all depends on their personal fortune.Cui Li should have said enough, but he still felt that it was not enough, so he found another topic and said: "Secretary Zhu, you care about me very much, and I also care about feelings. For some reason, I naturally care about it." The matter of Meici. Recently I went to Beijing and found a manuscript about a cadre named Long An in your Bureau of Statistics, which reported some problems with the leaders of the prefectural committee and administrative office. The manuscript was suppressed." "Thank you, Cui Li. Otherwise, it would really cause trouble for us." Although Zhu Huaijing said so, he didn't take it seriously.He already had a problem with Lu Tianyi's handling of Long An.Thinking that Cui Li was wrong about this matter, he would go to all the leaders of Meici to ask favors. Zhu Huaijing saw that Cui Li had no intention of leaving, and he was not going to invite him to dinner, so he stood up politely, "Cui Li is like this today? Why don't you stay for a few more days? Thank you for your hard work. The support of our prefectural committee work." Cui Li thanked him, nodded and left.Everyone left, Shao Yunhong deliberately delayed for a while, stayed and said: "Secretary Zhu, is it really such a coincidence? There just happened to be such an article, and it was about to be published, so he went to Beijing, and he happened to meet I have dealt with Cui Li for many years, and I half believe what he says." Zhu Huaijing didn't say much after hearing this, just nodded and said: "They rely on this method to beg for money, I know."
