Chapter 32 Chapter Thirty-Two

As soon as Guan Yinda entered the office, Xiao Li, the editor of "Xizhou Education", sent the latest issue of the magazine. The preface of this issue was written by Guan Yinda himself.He didn't want to join in the fun, but the young man was sincere and couldn't shirk, so he wrote a few sentences. After writing it, I felt that it was inappropriate to use my real name to publish it, so I used a pseudonym: Answer. Xiao Liu directly said that Director Guan's writing style is too good, and the questions raised are profound. Guan Yinda smiled and didn't say much.After Xiao Liu left, Guan Yinda opened the magazine and browsed through his own articles.

The topic is: "Child, are you happy?" " My son is in the second year of junior high school and is about to enter high school.He leaves home at seven in the morning and returns home at seven in the evening.After a hasty dinner, I have to do my homework again.Always busy until late at night before going to bed.Seeing the child working so hard, I am anxious.I can only ask the child's mother to get more delicious food for the child, so as not to let him collapse. Once I told my child about my childhood and youth, and he was very fascinated. I was bitter when I was a child, but happy.I have nothing to eat, nothing to wear, but something to play with.I have many friends, we climb trees to catch crows, swim in rivers, and go up mountains to pick mushrooms; we fight against children from neighboring villages at night, or sneak into sugarcane fields to feast; It is the strangest and most romantic folk custom in our hometown to eat other people’s vegetables and boil New Year’s cakes.

It is said that it is the festival of thieves.Adults and children are all excited to be thieves, just for fun.If someone's vegetables were stolen that night, he would not be angry.Even thieves had festivals when I was young, but my children didn't.He has only endless homework!There are only endless exams! We don't have the patience to wait for our children to grow up slowly, we don't allow our children to grow up freely, we don't give them the chance to fail, we unrealistically hope for the best for our children always, we replace their ideals with our own dreams, we even Don't let children have their own yearning.

We didn't think that the child was still a child or a teenager, and eagerly stuffed a lot of big and useless adult wisdom into the child.We forget that we also had innocence and naughtiness, and prematurely asked our children to worry about the future.We describe the future as hell, and tell children to practice eighteen martial arts to cope with the catastrophe. We may be treated coldly because of our own humbleness, so we want to raise our children into noble types and despise the humbleness of others.There is no doubt about our love for our children, but maybe we are just using our children as capital in order to obtain high returns.

Someone made a comparative survey of China and Japan.Many Japanese children say that they want to be excellent engineers, teachers, accountants, or even dressmakers and hairdressers when they grow up; while our Chinese children have great ambitions, hoping to become mayors, general managers or scientists when they grow up. But after all, more people will become ordinary workers, and there will always be only a small number of mayors and general managers.Well, when we instill good hopes in our children, we have actually prepared them for disappointment.As a result, more children can only go to society with disappointment, and they may not be able to get rid of the shadow of inferior citizens hovering over their heads for the rest of their lives.

But we have to educate our children in this way.Without good studies, one cannot enter a good university, and one cannot stand out.We are worried that what our children will face is still a snobbish society, and we are worried that what our children will encounter will be more intense competition for survival. I really hope that my son will grow by himself like a weed, but I am afraid that he will really become a weed and be trampled underfoot. I really want to ask my son: Are you happy?But I dare not ask.I don't know how to be a father! Guan Yinda couldn't imagine that someone in his forties would still write such words.The son's generation is really boring.As he writes this essay, he is all a loving father.

That late night, his chest was soft, as if anything could be stuffed into it.He pitied the children, but could do nothing.If the rules of the game in the whole society do not change, the education model cannot be changed. Guan Yinda put down the magazine and called Meng Weizhou: "Secretary Meng, do you have time in the morning? I want to come and report." Meng Weizhou didn't ask him what's the matter, just said: "Old Guan, come on, I'll wait in the office You." Guan Yinda got into the car and entered Meng Weizhou's office within ten minutes.Meng Weizhou poured the tea himself, handed it over, and asked, "Old Guan, what can you do?"

Guan Yinda said: "Secretary Meng, there are several people in our education committee team, and the division of labor is very detailed. Our business department is different from other departments. The railway police, each in charge of a section, it is not easy to take anyone away. Therefore, I suggest to the municipal committee that we Comrades from the education committee should not be sent to enterprises.” Meng Weizhou said: "Sending cadres to study in enterprises is the result of serious research and careful decision-making by the municipal party committee. The provincial party committee is very supportive of our approach. Each department has its own special circumstances. Laoguan, I hope you will support my work."

Guan Yinda smiled and said, "Secretary Meng said that, I feel uneasy. I don't support your work. The Education Committee is all professional cadres, and there is a purpose in cultivating cadres in the organization. If the organization decides to send us I naturally agree with this comrade being trained as an economic management cadre. However, according to my understanding of this comrade, his strength lies in education and administrative management.” Meng Weizhou wanted to take care of Guan Yinda's face, so he said: "What Lao Guan said is also reasonable. Well, let me talk to the comrades in the organization department, change it if you can." "Thank you Secretary Meng for your support. You are very busy, I Don't bother me any more."

Guan Yinda stood up, and Meng Weizhou extended his hand.Meng Weizhou sent Guan Yinda to the door of the office, waved his hand, and went in.It is said that Meng Weizhou is very polite when seeing off guests. When subordinates leave his office, he usually just sits and waves, never standing up.Sending off other city-level leaders, he would stand up and shake hands without moving his feet half a step.Guan Yinda, however, enjoyed special treatment and let him be delivered to the door. Guan Yinda secretly smiled and said that he learned it all from a certain great man.Back at the Education Commission, there were already people waiting for Guan Yinda.A man with the appearance of a farmer looked at Guan Yinda from a distance and smiled, but he didn't know him.I thought I was afraid that some rural teacher would come to petition. "Hinda, hello!" The man stretched out his hand.If this person calls him by his first name, he must not be a teacher.

Guan Yinda was concentrating for a long time, and asked: "I'm sorry, I can't remember all of a sudden." The man blushed, stiffened, and said: "I am Long Hai!" "Ah, it is Long Hai!" Guan Yinda Yinda hurriedly stretched out his hand, "Old classmate, haven't we seen each other for more than 20 years?" "Come here, this is Uncle Guan." Guan Yinda saw a young man standing far away. "Uncle Guan, hello." "Come in and sit down." Seeing Long Hai carrying a woven bag, Guan Yinda said, "Long Hai, what are you doing?" Long Hai laughed and said, "It's nothing, just two watermelons." Guan Yinda said, "Long Hai, you are too It’s too hot. I’m not afraid that it’s hard to carry.” When he entered the office and sat down, Guan Yinda poured tea and asked, “When did you arrive?” Long Hai didn’t answer the question, and said, “My child is named Long Fly, so fly. He graduated from Normal University this year. He doesn’t want to be a teacher, and I don’t want to let him teach. I want to ask my old classmates to help me and change my career.” Guan Yinda said: "Teaching is actually very good. The job is simple, and there are two holidays." Long Hai said: "What's so good about teaching? My cousin is a teacher, and the salary can't be cashed. The county reports to the top , It is said that the teacher’s salary has been paid in full. The teacher dare not raise any opinions. The county threatens the teacher and sues the salary issue, and whoever files the complaint will deal with it.” “Is there such a thing?” Guan Yinda asked. Long Hai said: "Why am I telling lies? My cousin is a colleague, and his wife's income is also low. He only gets more than 300 yuan a month, so he stopped teaching altogether and went on a tricycle. He took his clothes There are four big characters written on it, the appearance of a camel, everyone in the county knows it. He also graduated from a university.” Hearing the story of the camel, Guan Yinda felt sore in his heart.He actually knows something about teachers' salaries being faked.But these details are not known.In the past few years, local finances have become more and more tight, and it is like a flood, flooding upwards level by level.Township-level finance basically doesn't exist, and some township government canteens can't even open fire.But the cadres of the township government still have a way to think, the salary is owed, and the subsidy is paid as usual.Gradually, the county-level financial life is not easy, and the salaries of the county government cadres have not been fully honored.Guan Yinda negotiated with the county leaders and asked them to try to guarantee teachers' salaries.However, the salary of the cadres in the county was not paid enough, and the salary of the teachers was owed, so he couldn't embarrass the county leaders too much.He had no choice but to ask the county education committees to stabilize the teachers, and the problem will be solved slowly, just don't file a complaint.But the following adopted tough measures, and whoever complained would be rude to anyone.Guan Yinda knew that he could not convince Long Hai.When he said that being a teacher is good, he meant it sincerely.After hearing this, Long Hai might think that his old classmate is playing bureaucracy.Long Hai was actually very good at reading when he was in middle school, but the strange thing is that he couldn't do it when he took the exam.It's luck.He managed to raise a college student's son, so he naturally expected him to be successful. "What do you want your son to do?" Guan Yinda asked. Long Hai said: "It's better to go to the municipal government. It's better to be a cadre." I don't understand." Guan Yinda said, then turned around and asked the child, "Long Fei, what do you think?" Long Fei said, "I don't know what to do." Guan Yinda asked: "What major do you study? What hobbies do you have?" Long Fei said, "I study Chinese. I like literature, and I was the president of the literature club at school. I like writing poetry, and I have published more than 20 poems in literary journals above the provincial level." "Oh! Guan Yinda smiled, "Writing poetry is a very elegant hobby, but there should also be a hobby that can make a living." "My father wants me to be a cadre." Long Fei said. Long Hai started rambling on, talking about the benefits of being a cadre.He said that his family had no power and was bullied in the countryside.The fish and chickens were all stolen, and the cadres didn't care.If they can’t pay the handover, the house will be demolished as soon as they shout.It’s okay to play cards at home and only play dime games. The police station will surround your house and fine each person three to five thousand.What about cadres?They played cards for fifty yuan and fired a cannon.Long Hai's words became more and more wordy, and his son winked.The son seemed ashamed of his father, his face turned red, and he had nowhere to put his hands and feet.Guan Yinda said, "Okay, let me try." Guan Yinda wanted to keep Long Hai and his son at home, but Long Hai refused, saying that he had to go back.Guan Yinda asked the driver to take the father and son to the train station.Long Fei hurriedly said: "Uncle Guan, we can just take the bus by ourselves, there is no need to send it." Long Hai didn't speak, but just grinned.He just wanted to take an old classmate's car and go back to brag with others.Guan Yinda sent the father and son into the car, and said, "Don't worry, go home, I'll let you know if I have any news." Long Hai happily got into the car, smiling so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. Early the next morning, Guan Yinda went to the city government office.Shu Jun, secretary general of the municipal government, is Guan Yinda's old colleague, and he has a good personal relationship with him.Guan Yinda walked through the long corridor of the office building, seeing all the acquaintances, and heard people calling Director Guan along the way.Guan Yinda smiled and nodded.If someone reaches out, shake hands.An office door opened, Shu Jun poked his head out, and said with a smile, "I knew you were here. You are like a star when you come to our place." Guan Yinda smiled and said, "I'm already a shooting star." After sitting down and chatting for a while, Shu Jun asked, "You go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything. What's the good thing?" Guan Yinda said: "I don't play tricks, please help arrange a college student." Shu Jun said: "It's an old friend, and I'll be honest. I'm under a lot of pressure. If it's your own relative, I'll arrange it; It’s just an acquaintance, forget it.” Guan Yinda smiled and said: “My cousin.” “My cousin?” Shu Jun asked with a smile.Guan Yinda said, "Where did I get my wild nephew?" Shu Jun nodded and said, "Okay. Give me the materials." Sure enough, Shu Jun meant what he said, within ten days, Long Fei came to work in the government office.Long Hai came to the door again, thank you a thousand times, and said that Guan Yinda is a good friend and shows loyalty. Long Fei went to Guan Yinda's house to play when he was free.This kid is very flexible and knows to find something to do as soon as he enters the house.Guan Yinda's family of three had nothing to take care of, but Long Fei could always be busy for a while.Tao Tao whispered, "Yinda, this little dragon is a good candidate to be the leader's secretary." Guan Yinda laughed and said, "I was in your house back then, but it wasn't like this." Tao Tao laughed and said, "Who are you? You can actually make my father fall in love with you, and let me, an ignorant girl, be deceived The couple chatted and laughed for a while, and Tao Tao asked: "Yinda, I don't know how Xiaolong's essays are? All the essays are always failing, and you don't have time to care about them. Why don't you let Xiaolong help the children with composition?" Yinda thought, Said: "Maybe try it." Guan Yinda then called Long Fei and said: "Long Fei, are you usually busy?" Long Fei said: "When you are busy, you have more free time." Guan Yinda said: "Come to play when you are free, and I would like to ask you to help everyone with composition. You are a teacher, and you are an expert." Long Fei said: "Uncle Guan trusts me, so I'll give it a try. But I'm inexperienced, so I'm afraid it won't work." Guan Yinda said: "It's okay, just be bold. You haven't really been a teacher, maybe it's better. Now some teachers are too rigid in their thinking. Once they told me that their teacher said that Guo Moruo's "Street Market in the Sky" There is a poem, "that shooting star", the word "Duo" is used wrongly, it should be said "that shooting star". Teaching is indeed a big problem. Language is a living thing, but no matter how good the text is, it will be dismembered by the teacher. Maybe we don’t know how to judge the teacher like this.” Guan Yinda shook his head and said: “You are right , This is the problem. The most terrible thing about this teaching mode is to stifle the imagination and creativity of the students, just to pass the exam and master some stereotyped skills. Long Fei, you should teach him according to the temperament of your young people, so that he will be less Some restraints. You don’t have to think about whether he is doing it for the composition test.” After hearing this, Long Fei really admired Guan Yinda.He was very arrogant in his bones, always thinking that his parents were old-fashioned.He respected Guan Yinda very much, mostly because of gratitude, and besides, country children naturally know how to be superior and inferior.Unexpectedly, Guan Yinda's insights are so similar to those of young people.From then on, Long Fei went to Guan Yinda's house every night when he was free.Tong Tong also likes Long Fei, they play like brothers.Tao Tao looked happy, and even regarded Long Fei as his own family. One day, a meeting of department heads was held in the city, and Guan Yinda went there early.Before everyone arrived, Meng Weizhou looked at Guan Yinda and joked, "Old Guan, I have read your article and it is very well written." "Secretary Meng laughed at me again." Meng Weizhou said, "Even though you used an alias, I can tell it was written by you." Only then did Guan Yinda realize that what Meng Weizhou was talking about was the preface he wrote for "Xizhou Jiaohuang".I thought to myself that this happened more than two months ago, and Meng Weizhou still remembered it.Maybe Meng Weizhou only saw this article.Guan Yinda said: "The article that Secretary Meng pointed to is really a joke." Meng Weizhou said: "Reading your article, I thought of Lu Xun's famous article "How We Are Fathers". It can be said that It's the echo of history!" Guan Yinda quickly shook his head and said: "Secretary Meng, you are laughing at me." Meng Weizhou laughed again: "After reading that masterpiece, I remembered that Lao Guan was originally a poet." Guan Yinda said: "Secretary Meng, in this era Calling someone a poet is tantamount to insulting someone.” Some people came one after another, and some of them had read the article and felt the same way.Everyone flattered Guan Yinda, saying that he had a sharp view on issues, and what he said was what the parents of the world were thinking.After the meeting ended, Meng Weizhou stopped Guan Yinda and said, "Old Guan, please stay here for a while." Guan Yinda followed Meng Weizhou to his office.After sitting down, Meng Weizhou didn't say anything for a long time, just chatting and asking questions.Guan Yinda felt that Meng Weizhou was a little abnormal today, and suddenly looked like an old lady.After chatting for a while, Meng Weizhou said: "Yinda, Comrade Zhaolin will come to Xizhou for research in a few days, and the exact time has not yet been set. He called me and went to Taoling to visit Secretary Tao when he thought of it. I Thinking about it, I want to arrange Comrade Zhaolin to have a meal at Old Secretary Tao's house." Guan Yinda joked: "Do you know that Secretary Zhang is willing to accompany him to eat at the old man's house?" Meng Weizhou smiled and said: "Yinda, you know that Comrade Zhaolin respects old Secretary Tao very much." Guan Yinda could only say: "I will listen to your arrangements. This means that I will talk to the old man, or you will go by yourself ?” Meng Weizhou said, “You say it’s the same as I say.” Guan Yinda understood what Meng Weizhou meant, and said, “Then I’ll go and talk about it.” Meng Weizhou said, “Okay, thank you then. Yinda, Xizhou is not peaceful recently." Guan Yinda heard it suddenly, and asked: "What is Secretary Meng referring to?" "Someone is behind Comrade Wan Mingshan's hands and feet." Meng Weizhou said. Guan Yinda said: "We have no news about the Education Commission, and I haven't heard of it." Meng Weizhou said: "Someone wrote an anonymous letter to the province to sue Wanmingshan. From the letter, it can be seen that a certain level of leading cadres is doing something." Guan Yinda laughed and said, "It's normal for a leader to have people sue. I still remember what Secretary Zhaolin said back then. A leader who has people sued is not necessarily a good leader, and a leader who has no complaints is definitely not a good leader. Secretary Zhaolin’s words are very incisive. I don’t think the higher-ups will do anything to Comrade Wan Mingshan just because of a letter of complaint.” Meng Weizhou said: “It’s natural. The problem is that the time for the National People’s Congress is approaching, and some people make trouble , it will make people panic, which is not conducive to the election. Comrade Zhaolin is very concerned about this issue." Guan Yinda heard some tricks.Zhang Zhaolin's trip to Xizhou is to stabilize the situation, and the organization's election intention cannot be defeated.It's just that Guan Yinda didn't understand, why did Zhang Zhaolin go to see Tao Fan?After Zhang Zhaolin went to the province, he returned to Xizhou more than ten times, and never thought of going to see his old man.After talking about this matter, Meng Weizhou suddenly said: "Old Guan, you should give full play to your old expertise, write more important articles, and give ideas to the municipal committee." Guan Yinda heard Meng Weizhou's overtones, so he chuckled and mumbled.He thought what Meng Weizhou meant. He probably meant that he wrote articles like the preface of "Xizhou Education", which were too light and fluffy, and his style of writing was not like an official.It seems to be out of order.I didn't expect Meng Weizhou to be so old-fashioned even though he was a few years younger than him.Meng Weizhou's address to him today is also interesting. First, he was called Laoguan. When talking about Tao Fan, the two seemed to become friendly. He became Yinda, and finally he became Laoguan again.Guan Yinda came out of Meng Weizhou's office and went straight to Taoling.It's early winter, the wind is blowing, and the yellow leaves are curling up.When I came to the small courtyard of Tao's house, a pile of dead leaves happened to be piled up at the door.Guan Yinda thought to himself that the two old men might not have gone out for a long time. He picked up the broom by the wall and gently swept the leaves away.The door squeaked, opened a crack first, and then opened wide. "It's Yinda!" said the mother-in-law. "Where's Dad?" Guan Yinda asked.The mother-in-law pouts in the back room and lets Guan Yinda in.But Tao Fan was dozing off on the sofa.The TV was on.Guan Yinda sat down gently, afraid of waking up the old man.The mother-in-law slowly turned down the volume of the TV, and finally turned it off.The room fell silent, and Tao Fan woke up. "Yinda, are you off work? What day is it today?" Tao Fan asked.Guan Yinda said, "Today is Wednesday." Tao Fan nodded and said, "I thought it was the weekend again." After chatting for a while, Guan Yinda explained what Meng Weizhou meant.Tao Fan said: "What's interesting about me? I don't care about anything else." "What Zhang Zhaolin meant was that I want to have a meal at home." Guan Yinda unintentionally mistook Meng Weizhou's idea for Zhang Zhaolin's.In fact, he couldn't figure out whose intention it was. "So does he mingle with the crowd?" Tao Fan shook his head and smiled.He never clearly agreed to Guan Yinda's words.Guan Yinda knew that the old man would not embarrass Zhang Zhaolin.In the afternoon, Guan Yinda went to the office and received a letter.When I opened it, it turned out to be an anonymous letter condemning Wanmingshan.In the letter, Wan Mingshan has numerous crimes, nothing more than financial problems, women's problems, and playing in small circles.The materials are very informative, and the parties mentioned have their names and surnames. Guan Yinda thought to himself, if what was said in the letter was true, Wan Mingshan would not be safe even with ten heads on its shoulders.In the evening, Tao Tao also asked about this matter: "The story of Wanming Mountain has been widely circulated outside. Do you think it is true?" Guan Yinda said: "I'm afraid there is a reason for it. For example, the change of the design plan of the green belt in the south of the city. I have heard about it for a long time. It is said that Wanming Mountain has collected benefits from developers, and strongly advocates reducing the green area and freeing up more space for commercial housing development.” “Who knows such details?” Tao Tao said. "Meng Weizhou said that cadres of a certain level were making a fuss in the middle, but I don't know if they know who it is." Guan Yinda said.Tao Tao asked softly, "Yinda, do you think it's Xiang Tianfu?" Guan Yinda thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible. But I've also thought about it over and over again. Tianfu looks reckless, but he is actually very meticulous. If he wants to play tricks, he will act suddenly at the National People's Congress. He won't be like this." It's early. It's not good to be early. Besides, too many people were mentioned in the letter, and the attack area is too wide, and there is no strategy." Tao Tao laughed and said, "You are so cunning." Guan Yinda said: " These still need to be learned? As long as you follow your feelings, everyone will understand." In the evening, Shu Peide called and said he wanted to come over for a sit down.Guan Yinda said welcome, very polite.In fact, he just doesn't want to touch people's face, and he is not interested in associating with Shu Peide.The two of them didn't talk much when they sat down, they were always chatting all over the world, which was very boring.Not long after, someone knocked on the door.When he opened the door, Shu Peide was standing at the door smiling. "Director Guan, I haven't seen you for a long time." Shu Peide shook Guan Yinda's hand firmly, and then turned to Tao Tao, "Sister-in-law, my wife came to the United States with me and brought you some cosmetics. It's full of foreign characters, and I don't know any of them." Tao Tao was busy Shaking his hand: "Let her keep it for herself." "Sister-in-law, you'll be alienated like this." Shu Peide put the cosmetics on the table as he said.Tao Tao had no choice but to thank you. Guan Yinda joked: "Old Shu, you don't know a single foreign word, how did you serve as a business representative for an American company?" "There are translators, there are translators." Shu Peide smiled and changed the topic Tell me about your experience in America. "Walking to the United States, I realized that I didn't live like a human being. After returning to China and staying for three days, I became human again." Guan Yinda felt strange, as long as he mentioned to Shu Peide that he worked for a certain company in the United States, He just dodged it, as if he had been a traitor during that experience.Guan Yinda has seen those comprador upstarts, with their eyeballs rolled up, speaking in a Sino-foreign joint accent, and their shoulders shrugged more exaggeratedly than foreigners. "Is business good?" Guan Yinda had nothing to say. "Okay, Hong Fu, director of the Guanguan." Shu Peide said.Guan Yinda said: "It is said that business is becoming more and more difficult to do, but you are lucky and have a lot of money!" Shu Peide said modestly: "How can you make money? The company is still in its infancy. To tell the truth, Director Guan said, I have an ambition to compete for the top 100 private enterprises in the country, but the distance is still far away. The leaders have trained me for many years, and I also want to make progress in politics. As long as I enter the top 100 in the country, I will be 100% a representative of the National People’s Congress.” Shu Peide has such great ambitions, Guan Yinda secretly admires him.But he also thought, if Shu Peide can really enter the top 100 private enterprises in the country, then the quality of private enterprises will have to be compromised.He knows Shu Peide too well. Guan Yinda was also quite puzzled: Is Shu Peide taking the only way for private enterprises?He had a premonition that Shu Peide was too close to the officialdom, and his future was bleak.But if you don't go to the officialdom, which private enterprise can stand up?Shu Peide asked again: "Director Guan, a deputy to the National People's Congress, is it equivalent to a member of Congress?" "Almost." Guan Yinda smiled and didn't bother to elaborate. Hearing Shu Peide's words, Guan Yinda suddenly thought of something else and found a strange phenomenon.People always like to compare things in China today with the West, the national government or ancient China. It seems that only by comparing them can they measure their value.For example, when a member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection comes down, people say that it is equivalent to inspecting the eight prefectures in the past.The implication is quite thought-provoking.Shu Peide suddenly changed the subject and said, "Director Guan, I don't care about politics the least. But the recent incidents in Xizhou are too troublesome. Wanmingshan is only afraid of danger. Many people outside are guessing that if Wanmingshan can't be the mayor, Who is the most suitable." Guan Yinda looked at Shu Peide without saying a word.I thought to myself that this person just said that he wants to be progressive in politics, and then immediately said that he doesn't care about politics, and everything he said was politics. Shu Peide paused for a moment to see Guan Yinda's reaction.Seeing that Guan Yinda didn't speak a word, he said, "Someone said, it's better to ask Director Guan to come out of the mountain." Guan Yinda shook his head hurriedly and said, "Just kidding! Take a step forward, and you will be the mayor. How old am I, Guan?" Shu Peide said: "Director Guan, you are modest. It is said that among the deputy mayors, in terms of qualifications and abilities, they are all ahead of you. Excuse me. In terms of character, you are even more famous. The eyes of the masses are sharp!" "Old Shu, you can't joke about this kind of thing. Recently, Xizhou is very complicated. If the walls have ears, it is not a good thing Yes. Others will say that I have political ambitions, and even say that those anonymous letters flying all over the sky are related to me." Guan Yinda said seriously.Shu Peide said with a smile: "I have something in my heart, please tell Director Guan not to criticize me. I think, instead of letting an unsatisfactory person become the mayor, it is better to let the people who are trustworthy become the mayor." Guan Yinda nodded and said, "You're right!" Shu Peide's expression became mysterious, and he said, "Director Guan, let's make a plan to push you to the position of mayor." Guan Yinda was not surprised, but deliberately As if burned by fire, he straightened his body and said sternly: "Old Shu! Don't talk nonsense!" Shu Peide said, "Director Guan, I'm here to discuss this matter with you today, and I didn't talk nonsense. I have been in the business field for more than 20 years, and I don’t do business that I am not sure about. This is much more risky than doing business. If I am not sure, I, Shu, have eaten the guts of a leopard?” Guan Yinda asked: “ What is your certainty? Let me hear it." "This is the certainty!" As Shu Peide spoke, he counted money.In official circles, Adu's stuff is very popular, everyone knows it.But Shu Peide was so explicit that Guan Yinda felt very uncomfortable.It would be a lie to say that he was completely indifferent.He just found it strange that Shu Peide never talked about money in front of him.Xizhou has been too chaotic these past few months, so we have to be careful about everything.But he was still curious and wanted to test Shu Peide. Guan Yinda said: "Lao Shu, I know that you have to spend money to do things in the officialdom. But just spending money is not enough. How can it be as simple as you think? As long as you spend money, you have to be an official. Many people don't know Tickets to buy an official?" Shu Peide said: "Director Guan, I have a chance of winning. I can go to Zhang Zhaolin's place. I can run around. It's all mine." "How much can I get?" Guan Yinda asked. Shu Peide replied: "I plan to invest two million." Guan Yinda smiled and said: "Old Shu, we are friends, which is good. But I am not worth your two million!" Shu Peide said: "I respect You, Director Guan, the people also trust you. Besides, Director Guan, I also have selfish intentions. Let’s put it bluntly, if you become the mayor, my business will be easier. But Director Guan, don’t worry, I never mess around. I If I mess around, something will happen sooner? There are many people staring at me!" Guan Yinda said: "Then let me be frank. Everyone knows that you are good friends with Meng Weizhou and Wanmingshan. It is also spending money, why don't you spend money to keep Wanmingshan?" Shu Peide said: "Director Guan , Friends have real friends, and there are fake friends. I won’t go into details, it’s boring.” Guan Yinda didn’t want to think things so naively, and said with a smile: “Old Shu, I’m very grateful to you. Having a friend like you , I am not wronged. However, I have no interest in being mayor." Shu Peide shook his head, swallowed his saliva again, and said earnestly, "Director Guan, you know how to be an official, but you are not addicted to being an official, as everyone in Xizhou knows.
