Chapter 30 Chapter Thirty

A few days later, when Dongfang Changqing went to work, he saw people in the bureau whispering to each other. As soon as they saw him come in, everyone shut up and pretended to be busy with work. Dongfang Changqingdi only pretended not to see it, and entered his office, then called Tong Shijie, the director of the office, and asked, "Director Tong, what were you whispering to each other just now?" Tong Shijie smiled and said, "It's nothing, but It's just nonsense." Dongfang Changqing smiled and said, "Nuuuuuuuuu, then why didn't you say anything when you saw me coming? Director Tong, you are the office director of the Bureau of Culture and Broadcasting, and you should also be the director's assistant. Comrades' emotions, as the chief, I have to control."

Seeing Dongfang Changqing's words were serious, Tong Shijie became a little flustered and said, "It's really nothing, Director. It's just some gossip that something happened to Mayor Lin." Dongfang Changqing's head grew bigger all of a sudden, something happened to Lin Xuemin, didn't he go to Beijing?But he didn't show it at the moment, but nodded and said: "Director Tong, these matters are the affairs of the leadership, and I ask everyone not to discuss them in the future." Tong Shijie agreed and left. As soon as Tong Shijie walked out of the director's office, Dongfang Changqing took out his mobile phone and dialed Hong Linfeng's number. After the ringtone sounded, Hong Linfeng answered it.Dongfang Changqing said: "Minister Hong, what are you up to?" Hong Linfeng said in a low voice, "Dongfang, I'm holding a standing committee meeting, I'll call you later." Just hang up.

Dongfang Changqing became inexplicably excited, and had a premonition in his heart. It seemed that what Tong Shijie said was not groundless. Something happened to Lin Xuemin, the deputy mayor in charge of education.As for what happened, Dongfang Evergreen didn't want to ask others. As a leader at a certain level, people will look down on you if you don't have information, and think that you don't have much face and you don't have a good relationship. Amidst the excitement and speculation, Hong Linfeng still didn't call when it was twelve o'clock at noon. Dongfang Changqing thought that this Standing Committee is probably going to be a marathon. It is common for the Standing Committee to hold a marathon in official circles, especially When studying some tricky work, the meeting often lasted all day, even late at night, and the people from the municipal party committee would buy boxed lunches for the standing committee members.

It was not until the end of get off work in the afternoon that Hong Linfeng called and said, "Dongfang, are you off work yet?" Dongfang Changqing smiled and said, "I'm getting ready to get off work, today's meeting is overtime again, right? "Hong Linfeng laughed at the other end and said: "Which time the Standing Committee didn't overtime, I'm used to it." Then he asked: "What's the matter with calling me in the morning?" Dongfang Changqing smiled and said: "Here You must have something to do even if you make a phone call, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I miss you."

Hong Linfeng laughed on the other end, and said, "Don't tell lies in front of the real person. You think I don't know? How about it? If you have time, come to my office and we can chat?" Dongfang Changqing quickly said, "Okay, I'll be right there." After driving for a while, we arrived at the Municipal Party Committee Building. From downstairs, the windows of Hong Linfeng’s office were still lit. When we went up, Hong Linfeng was sitting on a chair in a daze. When Dongfang Changqing came in, he didn’t stand up to greet him. As if you didn't see it.Dongfang Changqing didn't think it was strange, walked over and sat down by himself.

"Something happened to Lin Xuemin." Suddenly, Hong Linfeng looked aside and said. Although Dongfang Changqing was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback and said, "I just heard about it too. What's going on?" "The specific circumstances are not clear. It is said that he went whoring in Beijing and was arrested by the police." "That's all." Dongfang Changqing breathed a sigh of relief and laughed. Hong Linfeng didn't laugh, and said: "It's not a big deal, and you can settle it by paying a fine. But, Lin Xuemin got drunk and made an attitude towards the police officers, asking your leaders to speak up, who are you?" The director of your branch bureau is just a county and regiment level, and I am the deputy department and deputy mayor. This is what got you into trouble."

Dongfang Changqing asked: "Where is Mayor Lin now?" Hong Linfeng replied: "He is back, but a letter from Beijing has also been sent, asking the Commission for Discipline Inspection to deal with it. Lao Lin is completely finished now, and the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee has issued instructions, asking for a thorough investigation of the matter, and the handling must be in place. Today The Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China is studying this matter.” "What to do now?" "How else to deal with it? Let's suspend the job first. How to deal with it depends on the opinions of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Lao Lin doesn't know what medicine he took wrongly, and he is still so stubborn when he makes a mistake. If it weren't for the following few words, paying a fine would be It can be settled." Hong Linfeng said, and couldn't help sighing, "The lesson is profound."

Dongfang Changqing couldn't help being moved. The relationship between Hong Linfeng and Lin Xuemin was actually not very good. Lin Xuemin was used to being strong. Although Hong Linfeng was a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Lin Xuemin didn't respect him that much. Hong Linfeng kept holding back , In fact, I also have some opinions in my heart.Now that something happened to Lin Xuemin, Hong Linfeng was not overjoyed, but felt sad when the rabbit died, which made Dongfang Changqing even more reverent towards Hong Linfeng. "We often say that leading cadres should self-police and self-examination. This is not entirely empty talk." Hong Linfeng continued, "Mayor Lin just likes this glass of wine. When we came back from our inspection, he insisted on going to Beijing. Just wanting to indulge, Zhou Yiquan sent him a young man to follow him, but something went wrong. It's a pity."

Because his rank was one level lower, Dongfang Changqing couldn't say anything. He suddenly heard that Zhou Yiquan had sent someone to follow Lin Xuemin, and he was shocked. With Zhou Yiquan's arrangement, even if Lin Xuemin made an outrageous It's not like the police caught him right away.Thinking of this, I couldn't help but have doubts in my heart.But he said: "Since everything has happened, the question now is how to minimize the loss. The key is whether the deputy mayor can be kept." "This is no longer possible." When Dongfang Changqing and Hong Linfeng walked out of the office, it was getting dark gradually.Hong Linfeng's face has always been a little melancholy. Thinking of this inspection activity, Dongfang Changqing had some vague guesses in his heart. Wouldn't there be other reasons?

Back home, Zhou Xian saw Dongfang Changqing's serious face, and couldn't help asking: "Why is your face so ugly, are you sick?" Dongfang Changqing didn't answer, and threw herself on the sofa, his mind was still rolling Then, he had a vague feeling that Lin Xuemin's accident had something to do with Zhou Yiquan.If so, Zhou Yiquan is a terrible person.Playing with a deputy mayor, Yu Qu, used the simplest method. This also corresponds to the saying that the simplest method is often the most effective. If Zhou Yiquan did it, then why did Zhou Yiquan attack Lin Xuemin?Dongfang Changqing couldn't figure it out, but one thing was conceivable, Hong Linfeng's melancholy must also have something to do with Zhou Yiquan.Thinking of this, Dongfang Changqing couldn't help but rejoice that he was not tempted by the 100,000 yuan at the beginning, and returned it resolutely and skillfully.It is the most ideal way to neither accept the money nor offend Zhou Yiquan.

The next day, Dongfang Changqing received a call from Hong Linfeng, who seemed to be talking about work, and talked about it for a long time without saying anything substantive.Dongfang Changqing had a faint feeling that Hong Linfeng must have something to do.The more frivolous and irrelevant the leader is, the more noteworthy his words are. After the two chatted about homework for a while, Hong Linfeng smiled and said, "Dongfang, this time your Cultural Bureau organized an inspection trip, and I wrote an inspection report in the name of the inspection team. Let’s post it on the newsletter of “Cultural Express”?” Dongfang Changqing smiled and said: "This is a good thing. It's pitiful to say that, since our briefing was founded, no city-level leader has personally written a draft. I will immediately ask the driver to pick up the draft." Hong Linfeng smiled and said: "It seems that I have opened the first case, all right, you can ask him to come right away, I also have a taste of publishing manuscripts." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone. Dongfang Changqing immediately asked Tong Shijie to go to the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee to get the manuscript.After a while, Tong Shijie brought back the manuscript, Dongfang Changqing read it, there were about 3,000 words, and it was eloquent.Dongfang Changqing couldn't help laughing. It seems that Hong Linfeng didn't have a good rest last night. This manuscript was written neatly. It really has people's facts and opinions, and it also put forward some suggestions based on the actual situation of this city.However, Hong Linfeng, as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda, wrote such an investigation report, what was his intention?Dongfang Evergreen couldn't understand it, and told Tong Shijie to publish an issue of "Cultural Newsletter" immediately, and put Minister Hong's manuscript on the headlines. After the "Cultural Express" published the investigation report signed by the Municipal Cultural Industry Investigation Group, the "Municipal Party Committee Newsletter" immediately forwarded it and added an editor's note.Dongfang Changqing was a little confused, always feeling that there must be something in it, but he didn't know what it was. A month later, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection came to the conclusion of the investigation on Lin Xuemin's issue. Only then did Dongfang Changqing understand Hong Linfeng's intention in publishing the investigation report, and he couldn't help admiring Hong Linfeng's official wisdom. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection’s conclusion on Lin Xuemin’s investigation is as follows: “When Comrade Lin Xuemin participated in the cultural industrialization construction investigation group organized by the Municipal Bureau of Culture, he left the group without authorization and came to Beijing. This conclusion turned the bribery activity held by Zhou Yiquan into an official activity organized by the Municipal Bureau of Culture, which allowed Jiang Shuichang, Hong Linfeng and others who went out with Lin Xuemin to stay out of the matter and not be involved.It is really difficult for people who are not discerning to see the mystery. Lin Xuemin was dismissed from the position of deputy mayor and transferred to the city trade union as an ordinary cadre. A political star who was once generally favored by the people fell like this. Dongfang Changqing's guess is completely accurate, Lin Xuemin's elimination is indeed closely related to Zhou Yiquan.It's just that Dongfang Changqing didn't know how Zhou Yiquan and Lin Xuemin's Liang Zi was formed. Only Zhou and Lin knew this. When the construction of the Southern Grand Theater entered the bidding stage, Zhou Yiquan of course also found Lin Xuemin, the deputy mayor in charge, and asked him to take care of him. Lin Xuemin apparently agreed, but he had his own little plan in his heart. With the support of Lin Xuemin for many years, the real estate owner in the village has done a big business, with assets of nearly 100 million yuan.Lin Xuemin has been planning in his heart to let his wife and brother get the project of the Southern Grand Theater.But Lin Xuemin knew Zhou Yiquan's background, and on the surface he didn't dare to compete with Zhou Yiquan, but secretly worked as an intermediary evaluation agency in an attempt to get Zhou Yiquan down.In the bidding meeting, Lin Xuemin's brother-in-law got nearly as many votes as Zhou Yiquan. Fortunately, Zhou Yiquan had a pre-detection and finally won the project contract. This kind of open and secret struggle, because both parties are unfair, cannot be spread out in the sun, everything is similar to a belly lawsuit.After successfully winning the bid, Zhou Yiquan didn't want to let it go. If one Lin Xuemin was let go, there would be many Lin Xuemin in the future. More importantly, after the bid failed, who could guarantee that Lin Xuemin would be willing to fail?If he is not reconciled, then, during the construction of the project, as the deputy mayor in charge, Lin Xuemin can completely control the project. If Lin Xuemin interferes, something may even happen.Therefore, Zhou Yiquan decided to kill him to get rid of this possible stumbling block. On the issue of how to get rid of Lin Xuemin, Zhou Yiquan took great pains.As a child of a high-ranking cadre, Zhou Yiquan is not lacking in scheming and power.It is not difficult for him to remove Lin Xuemin, the problem is to what extent.Zhou Yiquan knew that extremes would lead to opposites, and he had to grasp the scale, that is, to let Lin Xuemin step down, but not to provoke him too much, so that he would not be trapped.This is quite similar to those brick-slappers hiding in remote alleys. Brick-slapping is a technical job that pays attention to propriety.If the shot is heavy, it will kill the person, and if you are caught, you will die. Zhou Yiquan understands that the simplest way is also the most effective way. In the anti-corruption movies, the intrigues, power tactics and scheming of officials are all written miraculously, which is just a kind of obscenity of the author.For this reason, Zhou Yiquan deliberately organized a survey activity to reciprocate. During the inspection period, Zhou Yiquan assigned each of them a young man who was dedicated to serving Lin Xuemin. Of course, he was carefully selected as a young companion. Going to Beijing alone is, of course, a trick to protect Jiang Shuichang and Hong Linfeng from getting involved.That young man was very good at speaking, and he could say that he could speak a lot of words. On the day the inspection was over, Lin Xuemin was finally persuaded and proposed to go to Beijing to visit an old friend who worked in the Ministry of Culture. On the second night after arriving in Beijing, the young companion boasted that he was very familiar with Beijing, and took Lin Xuemin to wander around the alleys of flowers and willows. When Lin Xuemin took a young and beautiful lady to the room, he turned upside down on the snow-white double bed. When Feng was in love, Xiaobandang contacted Zhou Yiquan's friend who was a policeman in Beijing, and blocked the two of them in the room naked.Of course, the young companion who was playing with the lady in another room was also arrested at the same time, and the bitter trick still has to be played. Under the control of Zhou Yiquan's friend, the police in Beijing sent letters to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Zhixu City Commission for Discipline Inspection.After the goal was achieved, Zhou Yiquan immediately used his connections to pay the security fine for Lin Xuemin, and brought him back from the detention center. The good show of promoting Cao's release ended perfectly.When Lin Xuemin woke up from alcohol, he had to have doubts, but at this time, people are fighting for swords, and I am for fish, so there is no place for him to defend. After the news of Lin Xuemin's accident came, Jiang Shuichang and Hong Linfeng considered that if the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection found out that the investigation was organized by Zhou Yiquan's company, they immediately wrote the investigation report and changed the whole world of the bribery incident without anyone knowing it. The tourism activities in the past turned into a justifiable organization and inspection, and the matter was over like this. After Lin Xuemin was dismissed, the deputy mayor in charge of culture, teaching and health was temporarily vacant, and Zhang Yi, the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture and rural areas, was temporarily in charge of Lin Xuemin's original work. In this way, Bai Xue served as the general manager of the soon-to-be-established Southern Performing Arts Co., Ltd. The job was passed in a matter of course. On the day when Nanfang Performing Arts Co., Ltd. was listed, the ceremony was very grand. Chen Xinzhi, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Zhang Bozhong, Director of the Municipal People's Congress, Fang Renxin, Mayor, Jiang Shuichang, Deputy Secretary, Zhang Xiaoming, Executive Deputy Mayor, and Hong Linfeng, Director of Propaganda, all attended in person In the city, only the chairman of the CPPCC, Xiang Li, did not show up because he was away on inspection, so he entrusted a resident vice chairman to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony on his behalf.Wan Hao, executive deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, also brought Deputy Director Sun of the Provincial Department of Culture and the others to the listing ceremony, and a row of more than a dozen leaders cut the ribbon.All the units of the municipal government gave gifts. In Su Yiyuan's words, the cultural department finally had a good time. After the ribbon-cutting, there was a banquet. Dongfang Changqing and Bai Xue were the main characters of course, sitting at a big table with Chen Xinzhi, Fang Renxin, Jiang Shuichang, Zhang Xiaoming and other leaders. Seeing that there were so many leaders, Dongfang Evergreen and Bai Xue found one The last seat was seated, but Chen Xinzhi greeted him cordially and said, "Come on, Comrade Changqing, sit beside me." Dongfang Changqing smiled and said, "Thank you secretary." shook hands. Chen Xinzhi leaned over and said to Fang Renxin: "Comrade Dongfang Changqing is a talent, talented, and capable of doing things." Fang Renxin smiled and shook Dongfang Changqing's hand and said, "Comrade Changqing, young people are formidable. , National People’s Congress, government, CPPCC and military sub-regional leaders all come to cheer you on, it’s not a small face for you.” Dongfang Changqing said with a smile: "It's all about the leadership's concern. The cultural work can achieve a little success without the support of the leaders." Jiang Shuichang said: "The leader's attention and concern are the key, but you also need to be uplifting. Speaking of it, the cultural work has improved a lot in the past year. Minister Hong and I are generally very satisfied." Wan Hao smiled. Interjected: "Director Dongfang has also thought of many ways." Chen Xinzhi said kindly: "Whether a job is done well or not depends on the cadres. Comrade Changqing, do you think so?" Dongfang Changqing didn't dare to answer. Praise, but the answer is no, how can the leader's words be incorrect?Fortunately, the waiter came in to pour wine and relieve Dongfang Evergreen.Dongfang Changqing said: "Today I'm here to serve the leader, and I'm responsible for pouring the wine." Then he took the wine bottle from the waiter's hand and began to pour the wine. Chen Xinzhi remembered the first time he drank with Dongfang Changqing, and said: "Comrade Changqing is still willing to enforce the law, and the law is fair." Dongfang Changqing quickly said with a smile: "Thank you secretary for trusting." After pouring the wine, Dongfang Changqing returned to his seat and sat down. Everyone looked at Chen Xinzhi, and Chen Xinzhi looked at Fang Renxin and said, "Today the mayor is here to give a speech." Fang Renxin smiled and said, "Unified leadership Well, the secretary should have spoken." Seeing that Fang Ren wanted him to speak sincerely, Chen Xinzhi stopped refusing, stood up, raised his glass, and said, "Today, the Southern Performing Arts Group Company was established, which is a major event in the cultural work of our city. , the leaders of the municipal party committee, the people's congress, the government, the political consultative conference, and the military division at home are all here, which shows that we attach great importance to cultural work. Come, I suggest the establishment of the Southern Performing Arts Company and the future of cultural work in our city. Cheers!" All the people attending the banquet agreed: "Cheers!" The sound of clinking glasses sounded like a symphony. When toasting each other, Dongfang Changqing consciously drank a little less. As the host, he had to deal with so many people, and it was impossible not to do something. Bai Xue also gave him some convenience everywhere, and signaled the waiter to pour him boiled water. to cope.Dongfang Changqing smiled at Bai Xue and expressed his gratitude. Even though he drank some water, he couldn't replace it with water when toasting the leader. It would be no fun if he was discovered.Therefore, Dongfang Changqing still had a lot of drinks late, and in the end he was a little drunk. The drunk Dongfang Changqing looked at the leaders and brains of the various units in the banquet who came to congratulate him, and a thought came to his mind very clearly. The history of an unpopular figure and a marginalized official should be considered over today, and he is becoming a star in the political arena of Xu Xu, and he is about to shine brightly. Master Wisdom came down the mountain, and he came down with Yan Dongsheng. Dongfang Changqing was very strange. Master Wisdom seldom went down the mountain. Except for meetings, he basically never went out of the mountain gate.Dongfang Changqing confessed to Yan Dongsheng: "Dongsheng, please arrange a residence for the master first, and I will be there soon." Yan Dongsheng agreed, and said: "Director, should I arrange to live in the Oriental Hotel, which is the only hotel in the city? You can arrange a vegetarian meal." Dongfang Changqing agreed. Master Wisdom came down the mountain to report the construction status of Dongjiang Temple to the city leaders. The restoration project of Dongjiang Temple is progressing very fast, and the project boss Man Weicheng is still very good at it. In order to paint, he even invited some Tibetan painters from Tibetan areas to help, which made Dongfang Changqing look at him with admiration .Dongfang Changqing once asked Yan Dongsheng: "Dongsheng, Man Weicheng is a businessman who only cares about profit, and businessmen usually value profit, but he is so serious about this project. What is the reason?" Yan Dongsheng said: "Director, In the city, the attention of the bureau is of course the first. You have checked the quality of the project many times, and you have sent a team to focus on the quality. Man Weicheng did not dare to make trouble. The deep-seated reason is that the current engineering bosses are superstitious It's terrible. They dare to make troubles when they build bridges and buildings, but they dare not build temples and sculpture Bodhisattvas. They are afraid of retribution. Man Weicheng still has a jade Guanyin hanging around his neck. I heard that this guy was in the temple on the day the construction started It was a good prayer for a few times, which made all the migrant workers follow suit." Dongfang Changqing couldn't help laughing when he heard this, the current bosses really only believe in one person and one god, one person is Deng Xiaoping, and the other god is the God of Wealth Bodhisattva up. After finishing the work at hand, Dongfang Evergreen invited Su Yiyuan and Chang Guangmei, and drove to Dongfang Hotel to visit Master Wisdom. In the lobby of the hotel, he happened to bump into Liang Zhenghui, director of the Municipal Bureau of Religion. Dongfang Evergreen smiled and said: " Director Liang is here too?" Liang Zhenghui said with a smile: "Master said that there is something important to discuss, so I came." Dongfang Changqing looked puzzled, thinking that Master Zhizhi would have something important to do? When he arrived at the room, Master Zhizhi came out with his hands clasped together, and said: "The bureau chiefs have worked hard, and the old monk will go down the mountain this time, and I have to trouble you a lot." Everyone clasped their palms together, said yes, and sat down separately.Dongfang Changqing first introduced Su Yiyuan and Chang Guangmei to the master, and said with a smile: "Master moved the fairy car and came to this world. I wonder if there is anything to do?" The master twirled the Buddha beads in his hand and said with a smile: "The restoration of the temple in the city has done a lot of good deeds. Now that the repairs have been completed, the monk went down the mountain on behalf of the monks in this temple to express his gratitude to you." Then, he opened the yellow silk Bao, after groping for a while, came up with a few gold-plated Buddha statues, sent them one by one to the people present, and said with a smile: "This Buddha statue has been consecrated by this temple, and I will give it to you, bless everyone safe and happy." Liang Zhenghui, Chang Guangmei and others quickly joined hands to express their thanks.Dongfang Changqing also accepted it carefully, and couldn't help laughing inwardly, the favor of the master is really easy to come by, and it will make people feel grateful.Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Su Yiyuan ask: "Master, I really don't understand what the word consecration means." Master Wisdom smiled and did not answer, but looked at Dongfang Changqing with a smile in his eyes.Dongfang Changqing laughed and said: "Boss Su, this consecration was originally a Buddhist term, also known as opening eyes and enlightening. For the newly offered Buddha statue, please ask an eminent monk to explain the law and meaning of offering this Buddha statue. It’s called consecration. The meaning of consecration is actually to open people’s hearts, offering Buddha images to enlighten people’s own wisdom and light through the images of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Master, I don’t know if I’m right?” Master Wisdom smiled and nodded, and said: "Director Dongfang is intelligent in nature, and what he said is not bad. The purpose of Buddhism is not to worship Buddhas and Bodhisattvas as ghosts and gods, let alone to ask for blessings from all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. If you worship Buddhas as ghosts and gods, enshrine The original intention is to seek the blessings of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, which is superstitious. It is in line with the true meaning of Buddhism to use Buddhas to open the minds of all living beings and develop the inner prajna wisdom." Because the talk was a bit advanced, Su Yiyuan and others heard it vaguely, but their faces became more solemn. After chatting about the Dharma for a while, Master Wisdom said slowly: "The monk came to the city today. Apart from expressing gratitude to you, there is another matter. After the restoration project of Dongjiang Temple was completed, the monks in this temple discussed and planned to hold a large-scale event on the day of completion. The temple fair, on the one hand, is to celebrate, and on the other hand, it is to pray for the people of the city. I am here to report to the Religious Affairs Bureau and the leaders of the municipal party committee." Dongfang Changqing said: "This is a good thing. Our city's tourism industry is in the ascendant, and Dongjiang Temple is also a famous temple. This event will attract countless good men and women to participate. It is of great significance to boost our city's tourism industry." Liang Zhenghui said with a smile: "I have already reported this matter to the leaders of the city government in time. Mayor Fang Renxin was very interested and asked us to come up with a plan. Today is just right, Director Dongfang is also here. In addition to the public religious activities, there is also a mass cultural activity, do you think?" Dongfang Changqing said: "We will definitely listen to Director Liang's arrangements for this matter. How about this? After you have completed the plan, we will coordinate with both sides. On our side, deputy director Wei Hong is in charge of mass cultural activities, and Chang Guang will be responsible for TV reports. What do you think of the deputy director general of the United States?" Liang Zhenghui was very happy and said, "That's great. It's refreshing to work with Director Dongfang, so let's do it this way." Because Master Zhizhi was going to report to Mayor Fang Renxin with Liang Zhenghui, Dongfang Changqing and the others did not stay long, and left after sitting for a while.Dongfang Changqing said: "Master, you are busy first, and I will come and talk with you in the evening." The wise master smiled and sang Buddha: "Amitabha, the monk is also wanting to learn from Director Dongfang. I will be here at night. Greetings." In the evening, Dongfang Changqing took Go and drove to Dongfang Hotel. When he arrived at the room of Master Wisdom, a young monk opened the door. Dongfang Changqing smiled and asked, "Little Master, where is the master?" The little monk recognized him. Dongfang Changqing put his palms together with a smile and said: "Master is sitting in meditation." When Dongfang Changqing entered, he saw Zhizhi lying cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed.Master Wisdom opened his eyes, chanted Buddha with a smile, and said, "Director Dongfang is here?" Dongfang Changqing smiled and helped Master Wisdom get out of bed, and said: "It is a crime for disturbing Master to sit in meditation." Master Wisdom laughed and said: "You're welcome, speaking of it, it's just my daily homework. In fact, when I meditate on this Simmons, I can't achieve my mind wandering. It's just a habit." Dongfang Changqing was amazed and said, "Why is meditation on Simmons not as effective as sitting on Botuan? I want to listen to Gao Lun." Master Wisdom smiled and said: "Whoever realizes the Tao must be in a place far away from the hustle and bustle. Only when there are no distracting thoughts in the mind can he be enlightened. Back then, Gautama Siddhartha, the Buddha, also went through hardships and obstacles before he became enlightened. Like this embroidered Prosperity, how can you realize the Tao?" Dongfang Changqing laughed and said: "Master's Taoism is profound, will he be affected by this thought?" Master Wisdom smiled calmly and said: "Although the monk has a rough way, he is still a human being after all. If the way is so profound that he doesn't even care about the hustle and bustle, wouldn't he have become a Buddha?" The two laughed loudly. After chatting for a while, the little monk made tea for Dongfang Changqing and withdrew.Dongfang Changqing unfolded the chessboard, and the two played against each other.During the game, Dongfang Changqing smiled and asked Master Wisdom, did he find Mayor Fang Renxin in the afternoon, and how did the conversation go?Master Wisdom just smiled and didn't answer. Dongfang Changqing felt that Master Wisdom laughed very strangely, so he stopped asking questions and just concentrated on playing chess.Just as he was about to enter the port, he saw a flash outside the door, and a young monk led two people in. When Dongfang Changqing looked up, he couldn't help being shocked, it was the mayor Fang Renxin and his secretary.At that moment, Dongfang Evergreen stood up quickly: "Mayor Fang." Master Wisdom was not as nervous as Dongfang Changqing. He obviously knew that Mayor Fang Renxin was coming, but he put his palms together and said to Fang Renxin, "Mayor, please sit down. I'm talking with Director Dongfang, and I'm being negligent." Fang Renxin waved his hands, and said with a smile: "You two are so elegant, you continue to play, how about I be a gentleman who just watches chess and doesn't say a word?" Dongfang Changqing blushed and said with a smile: "I only have a rough understanding of the way of black and white. I am no match for a master." Master Wisdom smiled kindly and said, "Director Dongfang is too modest. Your style of chess is like flowing clouds and flowing water. You don't stick to the gains and losses of one city or one place. You are quite like everyone. Speaking of which, Zixu City with a population of five or six million , your chess skills are already rare." Fang Renxin sipped his tea slowly, seeing Master Wisdom say this, he couldn't help being very interested, and said: "Comrade Changqing can get such an evaluation from the master, which shows that your chess skills are very high." Dongfang Changqing hurriedly said modestly, "It's just a false award, mayor, do you also like to play Go?" Fang Renxin laughed, and said: "Occasionally, this is not the case. Master Zhizhi said that he has an appointment with you tonight for a hands-on talk. I am here to watch the battle." Master Wisdom threw a piece, smiled while twisting his beard, and said, "Director Dongfang, you may not know that Mayor Fang is a tough chess player, very domineering, and he is also the honorary chairman of our Zhixu City Weiqi Association." Fang Renxin laughed again, and said frankly: "How dare I call it a chess style, just a stinky chess basket. As for the honorary chairman, they just want to hang my brand to ask for money." Because there was no mental preparation in advance, Dongfang Changqing couldn't figure out why Fang Renxin suddenly came to the hotel to visit Master Wisdom, so he couldn't help being a little distracted when playing chess, and finally lost with two eyes.After a game, Dongfang Changqing stood up with a smile, and said: "Changqing is inferior, admit defeat and admit defeat. Mayor Fang, how about having a game with Master?" Fang Renxin laughed, and said: "I don't dare to talk to the master, but I just know that the master is here, and it happens that today's official business is over early, so I come to see the master, and get a little bit of fairy spirit." It is estimated that Fang Renxin must have something to do when he visited Master Wisdom at night, so he prepared to leave. Master Wisdom saw his hesitation, couldn't help laughing, and said: "Director Dongfang, Mayor Fang, we are also friends, there is nothing to do here tonight, it's just a chat, you can just sit down." Fang Renxin also smiled kindly and said: "Comrade Changqing, please sit down. I'll just walk around and listen to the master talking about Buddhism and Taoism. The restoration project of Dongjiang Temple is progressing well, and the quality of the project is first-class. You, the director of the Bureau of Culture and Broadcasting, have contributed a lot. " Dongfang Changqing stood up in trepidation and said: "It is the correct leadership of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, especially your care. Dongjiang Temple was repaired once in the past. This time, it is you who attach great importance to the protection of cultural relics and solve the project. The approval of the project and funds have enabled the smooth completion of this project of virtue.” Fang Renxin smiled, obviously satisfied with Dongfang Changqing's humility, and said: "At that time, the funds were limited, and only a little repair was done. Later, the Religious Affairs Bureau also made several reports, but they failed to pass the research. The paper is wrong. If we set up a project from a different angle, it will be completely tenable.” Master Wisdom said with a smile: "The two leaders have devoted themselves to our temple, and the old monk is very grateful. This time, the consecration ceremony and temple fair activities of the temple restoration can get the support of Fang Renchang and leaders at all levels, which is a blessing for the temple. It is the blessing of Zixu City. In order to improve the level of this temple fair, I intend to invite my elder brother, the abbot of Jokhang Temple in Chengdu, Master Zhizhen, to give lectures and sermons, which will also add luster to this event.” Fang Renxin nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "In recent years, the tourism economy has become popular everywhere, and the festival culture has risen. Dongjiang Temple is known as the No. 1 temple in South China. This is our best tourism resource. I have read the plan of the Religious Affairs Bureau. It’s a bit stingy, but it needs to be more generous, and the scale can be bigger.” Dongfang Changqing said with a smile: "Mayor Fang's courage is great. This is a large-scale event in our city. I think it should be higher in scale. It is best to invite all the main leaders of the province." Fang Renxin nodded with a smile, and said, "That's right. Everything must be considered in the big picture, and the vision must be far-sighted. Provincial leaders must be invited, and our province's leaders who work in the central government must also be invited. Tourism competition, competition What? Isn’t it just a matter of fame? To be famous, you need to make big moves and be bold.” Dongfang Evergreen said: "Scale effect." Fang Renxin glanced at Dongfang Changqing appreciatively, and said, "Yes, if you want to do it, do it big and make a splash." While Dongfang Changqing and Fang Renxin were chatting, Master Wisdom sat quietly without interrupting.Next, several people chatted about some Buddhist Zen principles. Dongfang Changqing discovered that Fang Renxin was also deeply interested in Buddhism. However, Fang Renxin’s interest was exactly the opposite of what Master Zhihui said. His tone was vague, but Dongfang Changqing could still hear that his worship to the Buddha was just to seek the blessing and blessing of the Buddha, and it was far from opening the mind as the wise master said.Rumor has it that senior officials actually believe in Bodhisattvas the most, and it seems that Fang Renxin should be one of them. After chatting for a while, Dongfang Changqing felt that his presence might hinder Fang Renxin from talking with Master Wisdom, so he left again.Master Wisdom didn't hold back this time, and said with a smile, "Director Dongfang, I'll sit with Mayor Fang for a while, and we won't be far away." Dongfang Changqing said goodbye to Fang Renxin. Fang Renxin stretched out his generous hand, shook hands with Dongfang Changqing, and said kindly: "Comrade Changqing, the opening ceremony needs the help of the Minister of Culture." Dongfang Changqing smiled He said: "Mayor, don't worry, we will fight wherever your old man points. We have already prepared for mass cultural activities at the opening ceremony, and we will definitely use the highest quality of the cultural and broadcasting department to support this event." Serving the event.” "That's good, that's good." Fang Ren smiled kindly, and looked at Dongfang Changqing, "Comrade Changqing, you have been the director of the Cultural and Radio Bureau for almost two years, right? You have done a good job in cultural work. Before, others complained It’s wrong to say that culture is an unpopular unit. Look, isn’t your unpopular unit becoming popular now?” Dongfang Changqing bent down, flattered, and said: "Thank you for your concern, the mayor. We are confident to do better." “好吧，长青同志，我们虽然见面不多，我还是对文化和广播电视事业高看一眼的，物质文明要上去，精神文明也不能弱化嘛。以后有什么事，可以直接来找我。”又对着秘书说：“你给司机打个电话，用我的车送送长青同志。” “谢谢市长。”东方长青感激不尽地鞠了一躬，却不敢说自己带有车来，出门后坐上方仁心的车，走了两站路就说是倒了。下了车，看着方仁心的车远去，东方长青连忙拦了一辆的士，回到酒店的负一楼取了自己的车，慢慢开着回到家里，心里一直有一个疑惑不能解开，为什么智慧大师明明知道方仁心市长要来，却不告诉自己呢？为什么方仁心市长对自己这样热情，竟然主动提出要自己的司机送他？ 东方长青百思不得其解。 此时在宾馆里，方仁心已经摒退随从，单独和智慧大师促膝而谈，相对甚欢。二人谈话的中心，正是东方长青。 方仁心说：“我观察了一下，东方此人，干练敏锐，是块材料。” 智慧捻着白须，笑着说：“要说官场之中，人才济济，明敏练达之人，原本不少，关键是我看此人，除明敏练达之外，与您命相最为相符，您四八年二月十六日生人，命相从火，前途无量。但恕我直言，火命之人，最怕没有辅助，釜底无薪，难有大成。” 方仁心也笑了起来，说：“不瞒大师，上次我在京城出差，事有凑巧，在宾馆门口竟然被一个瞎子拉住说要为我测前程，也说我命相属火，如得良辅，日后当有大成，没几年我还真当选了市长，从此对算命测相之类，不敢再以旁门左道对待。故那日在东江寺里礼佛，随便求您一解。” 智慧大师含笑侃侃而谈：“老僧当时也甚迷茫，佛最讲究因缘二字，所谓可遇不可求。恰值东方局长来寺，与老僧手谈两局，就觉此人应是您要找的人了，再推测下来，东方这个姓恰与您的命相完全吻合，东方属木，木生火，五行相生之理，您定然是了然于胸的。更兼他为人正派，心胸坦荡，才华横溢，谋事周密而性情稳重，更懂得深深自抑，是一个作为辅佐的料子，故此向您推荐。” 方仁心身子向前倾着，如聆圣听，对智慧大师越加恭谨了。一僧一官，当晚竟然谈到了深夜十一点多钟，临别时方仁心笑着说；“大师，今晚受教，获益匪浅。从一局棋上看一个人，我今天倒真是一个旁观者清了。” 第二天早上，东方长青早早去陪智慧大师用斋，说起了昨晚的奇遇，大师不由得哈哈大笑，说：“东方局长，说起来也是老僧自作主张了，前些日子，方市长带着几个人来庙里拜佛，市长来了，我作为住持当然要迎接，礼佛结束后，方市长摒退左右，和我在僧舍密谈，问起了个人前程，说自己年届五十，官也当到了正厅级，不知道还有前程没有。我看了他的生辰八字，原来是58年2月16日出生的，命相属火，推算起来，气运已尽。方市长又问可有补救，我说，火由木生，必得一命相属木之人辅佐，则前途未可限量。” 东方长青听着，不觉如听天书，自己与智慧大师交往多年，深知大师修以持正自明为要，本不屑于算命测字之类旁门左道的。想不到，这次竟然给方仁心市长预测起未来来。又想，方仁心平日里一板正经，仿佛心里只有马克思主义，背地里却去信什么预测未来之术，不觉莞尔。 智慧大师继续说：“我也是急中生智，突然联系到五行与方位的对应，东方属木，木生火，于是信口推荐了你，方市长竟然大感兴趣。” 东方长青有点明白过来了，笑着说：“昨晚的棋局，看来是大师和方市长的局了。” 智慧大师一笑，说：“这就是我请您原谅的地方了，方市长说与你没有打个什么交道，提出要观察观察你，没奈何，设了个局。” 东方长青笑了起来，智慧大师一番话说得很策略，既能让东方长青感受到一种批沥胆肝的坦率，又照顾到了他的面子。当下东方长青坦率地说：“谢大师推荐，说起来，我和方市长确实没有很多接触，这倒不失为一个机会。” 智慧大师一笑，说：“万事皆因缘生成，这是佛的说法，东方局长还宜自己努力，以应天时才是。” 几天后，东方长青意外地接到了方仁心秘书打来的电话，说是方仁心市长叫他去市长办公室一趟，东方长青没有想到来得那么快，就问秘书，要准备些什么。秘书回答说：“这我就不知道了，方市长只说叫你去一趟，至于什么事却没有说的。”东方长青想了一下，还是把文化产业建设的一些材料带上了。 东方长青赶到市政府的时候，方仁心的秘书已经在那里等着了，见东方长青到来，秘书笑了一笑，说：“东方局长，方市长在他的办公室等你。”东方长青表示了感谢，秘书引着他去了市长办公室，先把他留在外面的会客厅里，自己进去通报。东方长青在外面听到方仁心不高的声音说：“请东方局长进来吧。” 秘书走了出来，笑着对东方长青说：“东方局长，市长请您进去。”东方长青道了谢，跨进门去，叫了一声“市长好。”方仁心正在收拾着摊在桌上的一沓文件，笑着招呼说：“长青同志，你先坐坐，我收拾收拾。”东方长青连忙趋步上前，说：“我来我来。”方仁心也不推辞，笑着让东方长青把桌上的文件理整齐了，自己到办公桌对面的长沙发上坐下，拍着沙发笑着说：“长青同志坐吧，一来就让你给我整理文件，我可没有薪水付你哟。” 东方长青走过来，在方仁心斜面的另一把沙发上坐下了，方仁心掏出一支烟来，在东方长青面前晃了一下：“这个你行不行？”东方长青笑笑，说：“烟我也抽一点。”方仁心说：“哦，我书柜第二格里有烟，你自己拿吧。” 东方长青笑，说：“我怎么能抽您的烟，我自己带的有。”方仁心大笑起来，说：“烟酒不分家嘛，叫你拿你就来，这是待遇呢。”东方长青也不再客气，走到书柜上拿了一包中华，撕开包装抽出一支，先给方仁心点上，自己也点上了。 方仁心徐徐地吐了一口烟，说：“长青同志，你这个文化局长，快有三年了吧？” 东方长青笑笑，说：“两年，市长。” “唔。”方仁心若有所思地唔了一声，说，“你干得不错，文化体制改革，产业建设，都做出了成绩。那个南方大剧院，工程进展顺利吗？” 东方长青恭谨地回答：“报告市长，目前工程进度不错，但这样一个大工程，工期至少要两年多时间，我也正想向您汇报的，在工程建设期间，我们也不能闲着，我的想法是，趁工程建设这段时间，把南方演艺公司抓起来，主要是抓创作，抓队伍建设，等工程竣工了，我们的演艺队伍也成熟了，拉上去就能用了。” “这个想法不错嘛。”方仁心慈祥地笑着，眼睛深深地看着东方长青。“我们就是要支持真正干事业的人，这样，事业型人才成会有茁壮成长的好环境嘛。” “谢谢市长。”东方长青笑着说。 方仁心慈祥一笑，突然问道：“长青同志，我听说你正在读博，有这么回事吗？” 东方长青心里一震，看来，他在周纯青副省长下面读博的事，方仁心已经是知道了的，原来自己还不知道为什么方仁心突然会把自己召来，现在可以肯定了，今天这个谈话的核心也应该就在这里。东方长青笑着回答说：“是的，市长，我始终感觉到自己的知识不够用，所以就想再深造一下。” “这很好，现在我们需要的就是有知识的领导人才，你选择在岗深造，很有前瞻性嘛。”方仁心笑着，向面前茶几上的烟灰缸掸了掸烟灰，继续说，“我是老了，不然也真想有机会去深造一下的。不过，在我这个位子上，想要去学习不可能了。长青同志，要珍惜学习机会啊。” 东方长青连忙说：“谢谢市长关心，我一定努力学习。” “你对自己的前途，有什么考虑没有？”方仁心突然问道。 东方长青没有料到方仁心的话题会突然拐那么大一个弯，略作思考，笑着回答道：“谢谢市长，个人前途，我听组织安排。” “长青同志，你的这个想法是对的。”方仁心笑着说，“我们有些同志，工作问题考虑得少，个人问题考虑得多，完全弄反了嘛。事业心事业心，要先考虑事业才行，有些人就是想不明白这个道理。你当文化局长，按说是一个冷门单位，但你没有过多考虑自己的进退，一心扑在事业上，不也渐渐从冷门变热门了？所以说，事在人为嘛。” 东方长青站了起来，说：“谢谢市长的鼓励，我一定遵从您的教诲，把事业放在第一位。” 方仁心伸出手掌来向下压一压，示意东方长青坐下：“长青同志，今天我找你来，没有什么事，只是想和你聊一聊，坦率地说，市委市政府对你的工作是很满意的，组织上可能会给你再压一些担子，你要有思想准备啊。” 东方长青的心咚咚急跳起来，所谓的压担子，对他来说是太熟悉了，其实也就是提拔的同义词。东方长青就想，看来，方仁心的意思是要给自己换一个环境了，换一个什么单位呢？说起来可怜，政府组成局中，只怕随便拿一个单位也不比文化局差。但是，从自文化广播合并后，文广局的地位也无形中提高了不少，如果这个时候离开文广局，尤其是离开自己刚刚开创的文化产业，东方长青还是不愿意的。东方长青镇静了一下，笑着说：“谢谢市长，我的个人去向，当然服从组织安排，但我有一些想法，不知道该不该说。” 方仁心微笑着说：“说吧，我们不过是私下的交流，有什么话都可以说的。” 东方长青说：“我们市的文化体制改革和产业建设还在起步阶段，我热爱这项事业，也熟悉这项工作。如果组织上信任我，我请求不离开文广局这个岗位，再给我三年的时间，一定要把这项工作做出效益来。” 方仁心一愣，继而哈哈大笑起来，说：“原来是这样呀，长青同志，你果然是事业型干部，不错不错。今天我们就谈这些吧，至于你的去向问题，我同意你的请求，让你善始善终。”
