Last night, Luo Tianyun wanted to call Ma Yingjie, but he held back. He wanted to wait for Ma Yingjie to take the initiative to report to him, but he didn't get a call from Ma Yingjie. After waiting for a while, Ma Yingjie didn't even give him a word. He was annoyed and called him, but Ma Yingjie still asked, "Who is it?" Luo Tianyun thought to himself, Ma Yingjie can't be this kind of person, can he? Did he really make a mistake? Did he really make a mistake? The person whom he had carefully cultivated actually sided with his opponent. That kind of anger, that kind of indignation, made Luo Tianyun couldn't help but call Ma Yingjie. It seemed that he wasn't as magical as Ma Yingjie said. He was still not experienced enough, not steady enough. He should have trusted Ma Yingjie. "Don't doubt the people you use, don't use the people you doubt." This was an old saying, but it was also the truth.
With this thought, Luo Tianyun immediately forgave Ma Yingjie. This guy was quite popular with women. As long as Ma Yingjie wasn't the kind of person who had a foot in two boats, Luo Tianyun would wholeheartedly cultivate him. It wasn't easy to find a political seedling. Many times, there were still many things that needed a successor, a trusted aide to do things for him. The higher the rank of an official, the more trusted aides were needed, and the more loyal political allies were needed. A person couldn't do well in the officialdom alone. Take Secretary Zhu Tianyou for example. Yesterday, he held a meeting of the provincial Municipal Party Committee's secretaries and mayors. He had been in Jiangnan Province for some time, and he had to show his face in front of everyone. His speech on the stage was very short, just three sentences: First sentence: The Central Committee has decided that I will take over as the Jiangnan Provincial Party Secretary, and I feel deeply responsible and honored. Second sentence: Jiangnan Province is a province with a lot of scientific and educational resources. Successive provincial governments have attached great importance to and vigorously promoted the development of scientific and educational undertakings. This is a new mission to build an important strategic fulcrum to promote the rise of the central region. I am one of the people responsible for this new mission. The third sentence was: To cultivate successors and constructors for the cause of socialism with China's characteristics, and to improve the all-round quality of Jiangnan Province in terms of science, education, culture, ideology and morality, this task was arduous and glorious. This task required the participation of the first person present. Although Secretary Zhu Tianyou had only said three sentences, he had expressed all his intentions. The first sentence was to tell everyone at the meeting that he was sent by the central government. The second sentence was to tell everyone what he was going to do in Jiangnan Province, and the third sentence was to hint that he was going to reshuffle all levels of the government in Jiangnan Province.
Secretary Zhu Tianyou's words gave many people confidence and hope, but at the same time, it also gave many people uneasy and a blow. For Luo Tianyun, of course, he was one of the people who had confidence and hope. Because of this, he stayed in the provincial capital and waited for Secretary Zhu Tianyou to meet him alone in his office. He had informed Secretary Zhu Tianyou's secretary, Hou Guanghua, and he believed that Secretary Zhu Tianyou would call him after he was done with his work. At this critical moment, the news that Ma Yingjie had gone to Meng Cheng's house surprised Luo Tianyun.
Now, Ma Yingjie was laughing on the phone. Luo Tianyun was willing to say this, which meant that his boss believed him and had forgiven him.
As expected, Luo Tianyun continued, "You are a fool, but you are lucky. Go and see your Sister Lan. She is thinking about you, and she contributed to the incident in the provincial capital. She was the first to get the news that the female reporter, Sheng Yaling, was Situ Lan's godsister in the provincial capital. She was the one who arranged everything. I just found out about it, and it was Sheng Yaling who told me. Also, Situ Lan had asked the plainclothes security guards in the province to protect you in secret. Without her, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to suppress this incident so smoothly. However, you handled this matter very well. I will come back in the afternoon, and we will have a good chat. "Saying this, Luo Tianyun hung up the phone. Ma Yingjie was stunned with his phone in his hand.
Yes, his boss believed him, but Ma Yingjie felt very sad in his heart. At least he had made his boss suspect him, and at least he was being watched, which was a very uncomfortable feeling. Although he would not do anything that would let his boss down, he did not want to be watched and guarded like this.
No matter how many emotions were surging in Ma Yingjie's heart, he still had to get up and face the many things that should or would happen.
At this moment, the driver, Xiao Zhou, knocked on the door, and Ma Yingjie opened the door. Xiao Zhou asked Ma Yingjie, "County Mayor Ma, what would you like to eat for breakfast?"
Ma Yingjie looked at Xiao Zhou in surprise, and did not know how to react for a moment. He subconsciously asked Xiao Zhou, "What do you have for breakfast?"
"I just walked around the area, and all the breakfast in Qin County is available here. It's very rich." Xiao Zhou said happily. Xiao Zhou was actually a few years younger than Ma Yingjie, and when he said this, his face was filled with childishness.
"Go to your room and wait for me. I will go after I take a shower." Ma Yingjie said casually.
"What do you want to eat, County Mayor Ma? Please tell me, and I will buy it for you." Xiao Zhou said attentively.
Xiao Zhou's words stunned Ma Yingjie again. In fact, he had not completely gotten into the role. He was now one of the leaders of Qin County, which had a population of 600,000. He was no longer the secretary of Luo Tianyun, and no longer a small figure hiding in a corner to watch the officialdom. In Xiao Zhou's eyes, he was a big leader, and everything Xiao Zhou did for him was reasonable, just like what he had done for his boss before. However, Ma Yingjie was not used to being served, so he said to Xiao Zhou, "I will go eat by myself later."
Xiao Zhou's face darkened, and he did not say anything and retreated to the door. Ma Yingjie saw Xiao Zhou's expression clearly, and he even sympathized with Xiao Zhou. He hurriedly stopped Xiao Zhou and said, "When you go downstairs, bring me a bowl of ramen. Try to be quick, we have to go to the hospital."
Xiao Zhou's face flashed with the same excited expression as before, and he immediately said, "Okay, County Mayor Ma, I will go right away."
Ma Yingjie nodded, and Xiao Zhou walked away with cheerful steps. But Ma Yingjie felt sad for a while. Yes, he also came from the same situation as Xiao Zhou. He used to be a small figure, and like Xiao Zhou, he looked up to all kinds of big leaders. After becoming Luo Tianyun's secretary, he also hoped that he could do everything for Luo Tianyun. The more the boss asked him to do things, the more secure he felt, which proved that the boss valued him and needed him. Now, Ma Yingjie saw himself in Xiao Zhou, a poor and sad small figure who eagerly looked at the big leaders' rewards. Even buying breakfast would make the small figure tremble with fear, afraid that he had offended the big leaders, and the big leaders would not like him.
Thinking of this, Ma Yingjie decided to treat Xiao Zhou better. After all, he was also a son of a farmer, and Xiao Zhou was a few years younger than him.
Ma Yingjie hurriedly washed his face and rinsed his mouth. But as soon as he finished these two things, Xiao Zhou knocked on the door and walked in. The ramen Ma Yingjie ordered was in Xiao Zhou's hands.
"County Mayor Ma, this is the ramen you ordered." Xiao Zhou smiled.
"Have you eaten?" Ma Yingjie asked curiously. Xiao Zhou would not eat so fast.
"I ate some steamed buns. I was afraid that County Mayor would be in a hurry, so I asked the boss to hurry up and brought it here." Xiao Zhou answered Ma Yingjie, but Ma Yingjie felt sad again. He said to Xiao Zhou, "Xiao Zhou, you don't need to be so cautious in front of me in the future. I'm a few years older than you, just like your big brother. It's okay to be casual. From now on, you just need to drive the car well and do your work well. "
"You, you are a big leader. My father said that I must serve you faithfully and dutifully. Among the generations of our Zhou family, I am the only one who has the opportunity to serve the leader. My family is very happy. " Xiao Zhou said these words openly. It was not easy for him to drive for Ma Yingjie. He was just a temporary worker. Because his mother's uncle's distant aunt had some relationship with Cao Wuwen, she recommended Xiao Zhou to be a driver in the government office. His family was very happy. It was the first time for someone to serve the leader so closely. How could he dare to be careless and treat Ma Yingjie as a big brother?
"Then you go and drive the car to the door of the hotel and wait for me. I will go down immediately after eating." Ma Yingjie sent Xiao Zhou away. Xiao Zhou's words made him more and more sad. He knew the mentality of Xiao Zhou's family too well. When he was chosen by Luo Tianyun, his father also said the same to him. Alas, the idea of privilege had been deeply rooted in people's hearts. While eating the ramen, Ma Yingjie thought about the idea of privilege that he told Meng Chenglin. He realized that he was so naive. Even a small driver thought that driving for the leader was an honor. What reason did he have to complain that others had the idea of privilege? Didn't he have the idea of privilege himself? If not, why was he so close to Luo Tianyun? Why was he willing to sacrifice everything to protect Luan Xiaoxue for the sake of his boss? Even now, whether he wanted to or not, he had to go to the hospital to visit Situ Lan.
Ma Yingjie quickly finished the ramen. When he went downstairs, Xiao Zhou had already driven the car to the door of the hotel. Ma Yingjie thought that after being a leader for a long time, privileges would naturally form. Looking at his driver serving him so well, over time, people would develop a strong psychological dependence on this kind of service. Therefore, the pursuit of power was like the pursuit of drugs by drug addicts. Power was like a drug that was infinitely magnified by generations of people. The great stimulation that the drug brought to people and the various fantasies produced in their fantasies had been firmly rooted in the depths of the hearts of everyone in the officialdom.
Ma Yingjie could not escape his obsession with power and all kinds of desires and struggles.
After Ma Yingjie got in the car, Xiao Zhou asked, "Mayor Ma of the County Magistrate Ma, are we going to the hospital now?"
"Yes. Let's go directly to the hospital. "Ma Yingjie was very satisfied with Xiao Zhou. This young man was very quick-witted and remembered the words of the leader very clearly.
Xiao Zhou started the car. Sitting in the back seat, Ma Yingjie looked at the city that he was once so familiar with and felt a lot of sense of achievement. At least in the eyes of Xiao Zhou, he was now a big leader. At least in the eyes of many people when he returned to Qin County, he was also a big leader.
