As soon as Guo Baoxin finished speaking, Yao Haidong stood up and said, "Secretary, don't worry too much. Take care of yourself. Xiao Liu and I will leave first."
"Go." Guo Baoxin waved his hand. Yao Haidong gave Liu Lihai a look, and the two left the office.
Yao Haidong didn't leave immediately. Instead, he turned into Liu Lihai's office. Liu Lihai quickly wanted to close the door, but was stopped by Yao Haidong. He lowered his voice and said, "You can't close the door. If someone comes to find the secretary, you have to answer."
Liu Lihai nodded and looked at Yao Haidong with a gloomy expression. He didn't know what to say. This kind of blow was really cruel to a person full of confidence. Although he already knew about the changes in the layout of Jiangnan from Liu Liu, he never thought that Butler Guo's power would be placed by Guo Baoxin's side. This might be some kind of signal. An out-of-favor official and out-of-favor concubine were not popular. Could it be that Secretary Guo Baoxin had become an out-of-favor official?
This made Liu Lihai depressed as soon as he thought about it. He wasn't afraid of a fight between a strong dragon and a local snake. When he was in Lin County, weren't there many fights like this? In the end, didn't Gong Daojin, who was known as the Tumbler, lose in the hands of a strong dragon? Didn't Shi Zhilin secretly stab him with a fatal knife? Therefore, it was easy to determine the winner in a fight between a strong dragon and a local snake. But when it came to Guo Baoxin's position, once an official fell out of favor, it was often more difficult than an official in a small place.
This point, Liu Lihai only thought about and thought about now. Although he did have Liu Liu and Sun Xiaomu, and Sun Xiaomu's feelings for him were still there. Even if she was pregnant with the Liu family's child, she still loved him. He was very clear about this. Even if he couldn't give her all the things she wanted, once a woman fell in love, it wasn't that easy to get rid of her. Especially for girls like Sun Xiaomu, who grew up in a family like hers, she was not extravagant about money and did not pursue an extravagant lifestyle excessively. Thus, love was magnified again and again by them. There was nothing more frightening than love. But there was no such thing as love that could not be grasped and could not be seen.
Liu Lihai did not know what Yao Haidong was trying to say. He simply looked at him passively, as if he were looking at Secretary Guo Baoxin's disappointment and failure. His heart was strangely depressed and uncomfortable.
"Xiao Liu, I am going back to Jingjiang in the afternoon. I am staying at the Jiangnan Hotel. If you don't have anything special after work, come and find me. I will wait for you. We will have a simple meal in the room. You will know if there is anything at 11: 30. Call me, I will leave first." Yao Haidong looked at Liu Lihai and said so.
"Alright. Brother Yao, take care. " Liu Lihai walked Yao Haidong out of the office. This was not a place to talk. He knew that Yao Haidong must have something to say.
Yao Haidong told Liu Lihai not to walk him out and that he would leave by himself. Liu Lihai stayed in the office. After Yao Haidong left, he became even more depressed. How did the situation suddenly become like this? It was really hard for him to accept for a while. After all, when Liu Lihai was analyzing, he could not see or feel it. When everything was really revealed in front of him, he knew how difficult this situation was. Thinking about the situation that stumped the Secretary, it must not be an ordinary change in the situation.
Throughout the morning, Liu Lihai was a little restless. No one came to find the Secretary this morning, which made Liu Lihai even more nervous and sad. Did the whole courtyard hear some rumors? In this place, everything was so simple. In a place where a living Xu Xinhua could be brushed aside, what else could not happen and was happening?
When it was almost half past eleven, Liu Lihai went to the Secretary Guo Baoxin's office. The Secretary was still normal. He was busy dealing with documents. After all, he was not in the office for more than twenty days. There were too many urgent documents that needed to be dealt with.
When Guo Baoxin saw Liu Lihai come in, he asked, "Are you going to send Haidong off?"
Liu Lihai was stunned. It seemed that Guo Baoxin knew everything. He did not hide it anymore and said, "Yes, Secretary. I'm going to send Brother Yao off. Also, I'm going to discuss with him whether I can go to Beijing to pick up Sister Leng. She's sick. "
"She's sick? Is it serious? "Guo Baoxin was stunned for a moment. He looked at Liu Lihai and asked.
"Maybe it's because she's idle. She said so herself. This is also the reason why Old Master Ji agreed to let her go back to Jingjiang to work. " Liu Lihai did not want to cause trouble for Guo Baoxin. Moreover, it was the best way to tell the Secretary that Sister Leng was coming back. At least, this was how Liu Lihai felt.
"Okay. Go and discuss with Haidong. When you go to Beijing, send my regards to the Old Master. Bring some things to visit Comrade Hongyan. Tell her that I welcome her back to Jingjiang to work." After Guo Baoxin said this, he buried his head in the documents. Liu Lihai knew that it was time for him to leave.
Therefore, Liu Lihai said, "Okay, Secretary. I'll do it now." After that, he left Guo Baoxin's office.
When Liu Lihai took a taxi to Jiangnan Hotel, Yao Haidong had already prepared the wine and dishes. It seemed that he had been preparing to have a serious talk with Liu Lihai.
Liu Lihai did not stand on ceremony. He directly sat opposite Yao Haidong. They opened the beer in front of them and poured it at the same time. However, Liu Lihai raised his glass first and said to Yao Haidong, "Big Brother, a toast to you."
"Okay." Yao Haidong did not stand on ceremony. He nodded. After the two clinked glasses, they drank a glass of beer at the same time. Then, Yao Haidong toasted to Liu Lihai. He said, "Come, brother, one more." Therefore, the two drank another glass.
On the third glass, Yao Haidong was the first to raise his glass. He looked at Liu Lihai and said, "Come, let's drink to the minister's return."
Liu Lihai did not expect the third glass of beer to be this, but he still accompanied Yao Haidong and drank it. After all, his relationship with Leng Hongyan was not a secret. Besides, the situation had developed to this point. Yao Haidong, who had always opposed Leng Hongyan's return to officialdom, had to agree to her return. Moreover, her return could allow Yao Haidong to find a position and support again. Even if he knew that this woman came back for the young man in front of him, he still had to welcome her with the greatest enthusiasm.
After three glasses of beer, a lot of things were easy to say, and they were also willing to say. Anyway, that was what Liu Lihai thought. Besides, Yao Haidong had followed the Secretary for more than twenty days. There should be a lot of things that he wanted to say to him. He just wanted to wait.
After Yao Haidong put down his glass, he looked at Liu Lihai and said, "Come, brother, eat more." As he said that, he kept putting food in front of Liu Lihai, which made Liu Lihai feel a little uncomfortable. He hurriedly said, "Big Brother, you eat too. You eat too."
The two men politely put food in front of each other, but the two of them were familiar with each other, so there was no awkwardness.
After these things were done, Liu Lihai looked at Yao Haidong very seriously. He knew that it was time for this big brother to start talking.
Sure enough, after eating a few mouthfuls, Yao Haidong stopped eating and drinking. He looked straight at Liu Lihai and said, "I didn't expect the situation to be like this. Then, when the Secretary went out to walk, everywhere I went, everything I saw and heard was normal to me. Perhaps my biggest mistake was that I didn't think too deeply into it. The more normal a person seemed, the easier it was to hide something abnormal. For example, Xu Xinhua's death and Xiao Yan's suicide. How could such a major incident just vanish into thin air?
Lihai, we have too much faith in the Secretary. "Yao Haidong suddenly called Liu Lihai's name and said such a sentence.
Liu Lihai was shocked. What did Yao Haidong mean? Did he want to establish another faction? But with his ability, could he do that? Besides, Li Gaocheng and Meng Anda's group of people would definitely not accept Yao Haidong. How could Yao Haidong, who was so shrewd in the officialdom, not know this?
"Little brother, don't look at me like that," said Yao Haidong to Liu Lihai as he poured himself another glass of wine.
"Big brother, I don't understand what you mean." Liu Lihai simply made it clear.
"What I mean is that our Superstitious Secretary is the real leader. In Jiangnan, he is the boss, the authority, and the person whose words carry weight. We are overconfident and credulous of our opponents. This is the real reason why we are passive. Moreover, we are in the light, while the other party is in the dark. We have laid out our own ideas and designs. Aren't we just waiting for the other party to set up a trap to deal with it?
Sometimes, people still can't be overconfident. Moreover, people have to constantly set up a sense of crisis for themselves. If there is no such sense of crisis, it is very easy to be caught off guard by the opponent. We are not afraid of fighting with the opponent one move at a time. We are afraid of this kind of sudden attack. Moreover, it is when we are proud and think that the situation is good. When everything is under our control, such an attack can be said to be fatal. "After Yao Haidong finished speaking, he drank a glass of wine. Liu Lihai also drank a glass of wine with him.
However, in Liu Lihai's opinion, Yao Haidong's words were full of reason, and it was extremely warning. Yes, how could he not be so sure of the Secretary? How could he not be sure that with the Secretary's trust, his future would not be glorious? In this kind of affirmation, how could he think about the existence of crisis? How could a dignified Secretary of the provincial party committee have a sense of crisis? Of course, his current position also made it impossible for him to think about it. There was no way for him to think about it.
There were many ways to play at the top. Liu Lihai, a small secretary, couldn't understand it, and he wouldn't let a small person like him understand it. If he could understand the game, could it still be called the highest level of play? Therefore, after Yao Haidong said so, he felt that it was normal that he didn't understand it.
"Big brother, you are still the one who sees clearly and understands. I was wondering why I would meet Tan Zhenjie on the first day of work. "Liu Lihai mentioned the soon-to-be Secretary General.
"He came to Jiangnan a long time ago and has been active in the underground." Yao Haidong added.
