Ma Yingjie was confused by Cao Wuwen's changing attitude. How did he offend the Secretary? However, since he was already here, he immediately explained, "In addition to congratulating you, I have something to report to you. But you seem to be very busy today. Can I come back another day?"
The more Ma Yingjie behaved like this, the angrier Cao Wuwen was. What was he talking about? The Secretary seemed to be very busy today. Was he accusing him of not accepting other people's congratulations? Cao Wuwen's anger was rising. Just then, Cui Yongquan walked into the office and said to Cao Wuwen, "Secretary Cao, Mr. Qin Wangxi said he wanted to visit you. Do you have time?"
"Get out, all of you. I don't have time to receive guests in the office. "Cao Wuwen vented his anger on Cui Yongquan.
Ma Yingjie stood up. He didn't know what he said wrong, but he clearly felt that Cao Wuwen was angry with him.
Ma Yingjie looked at Cao Wuwen and said, "Secretary, you go ahead with your work. I'll report to you another day." After saying that, Ma Yingjie was about to leave. Cui Yongquan was stunned in Cao Wuwen's office. He didn't know whether he should stay or leave.
"County Ma." Cao Wuwen called Ma Yingjie from behind.
Ma Yingjie looked back at Cao Wuwen in confusion. Cao Wuwen's chubby face was full of smiles. But in Ma Yingjie's eyes, this kind of smile was full of mockery and dissatisfaction.
"Secretary is calling me?" Ma Yingjie asked uncertainly.
Seeing that Cui Yongquan was still standing there, Cao Wuwen said seriously, "I asked you to leave. Can't you hear me?" Cui Yongquan finally understood what Cao Wuwen meant. He quickly bent down and left Cao Wuwen's office.
After Cui Yongquan left, there were only Ma Yingjie and Cao Wuwen in the office. Cao Wuwen pointed to the sofa and said, "County Ma, sit down. I'm all ears."
Cao Wuwen's words made Ma Yingjie feel embarrassed. He couldn't help but blush. But he pretended to drink tea as quickly as possible, trying not to let Cao Wuwen see his expression.
After Ma Yingjie calmed himself down, he put down the teacup and said to Cao Wuwen, who was also drinking tea, "Secretary, in fact, you also know what I want to report."
Ma Yingjie tried to make his tone indifferent and without any purpose. But after Ma Yingjie's words, Cao Wuwen's anger rose again. This young man kept saying things here and there. He was really angry. He just took office today. How could he be in the mood to listen to any work report? But Cao Wuwen didn't say anything about work. He even said that he knew what was going on. Since he knew, why did you, as a deputy county magistrate, come here to report? However, although Cao Wuwen was angry, in front of Ma Yingjie, he didn't dare to shout at Ma Yingjie like how Cui Yongquan did. However, Cao Wuwen was in a bad mood. With such a person by his side, he felt pressured and hindered on the first day he took office as the secretary.
"County Magistrate Ma, if you have something to say, just say it. You are the most popular person in front of Boss Luo now. Everyone knows that you took Jiang Chaoqun to Wu Du, and the thing between Jiang Chaoqun and Mei Jie was left unsettled. Maybe I, as the secretary, will have to ask you to meet Boss Luo someday. "Cao Wuwen's words were sarcastic, and his behavior also looked strange. Ma Yingjie was more and more confused about what he had done to offend Cao Wuwen. Why was he so awkward in the early morning?
Ma Yingjie just wanted to leave Cao Wuwen's office as soon as possible, so he said without thinking, "When Boss Luo left, he said that Qin County can link the protection of Nanzi Lake wetland on both sides of the river and the hand-embroidery on Changsheng Street into a red tourist route, which will be included in the red tourist route of the Central Publicity Department. He asked me to ask Boss Luo's sister-in-law for the specific operation method. So, I came to report this work to the secretary today. After getting the secretary's approval, I will start to prepare the materials and go to Beijing to find Sister Lan. "
What Ma Yingjie said was the actual situation. But sometimes, the more real the situation was, the more it couldn't be said directly. Now, when Ma Yingjie's report fell into Cao Wuwen's ears, it was like a knife cutting through his ears. Why did he feel so painful? Boss Luo asked a small deputy county magistrate to do the work of Qin County, so why did he need him as the secretary? Was it really the ears of a deaf person? Was it just a decoration? Was this his position in the eyes of Boss Luo and Ma Yingjie? This made Cao Wuwen feel even more annoyed than before. But he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction in front of a small deputy county magistrate. This kind of secretary was too annoyed.
Cao Wuwen stood up and pretended to look for cigarettes in the office drawer. If he didn't do this, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to control his expression, or he would curse.
Ma Yingjie didn't realize that Cao Wuwen's mood was so turbulent. He thought that he had told the truth, and Cao Wuwen was thinking about how to deal with this matter. He quietly sipped his tea and took a cigarette for Cao Wuwen. He wanted to stand up and light the cigarette for Cao Wuwen, but he couldn't find the lighter, so he gave up the idea of lighting the cigarette for Cao Wuwen. But the calmer Ma Yingjie sat, the more Cao Wuwen felt that Ma Yingjie didn't take him, the secretary, seriously, or Ma Yingjie looked down on him.
Cao Wuwen took out a lighter from his pocket and lit a cigarette for himself. He took a deep puff and exhaled half of the smoke in the room to calm himself down. He looked at Ma Yingjie unhurriedly and said, "County Magistrate Ma is too ambitious. It seems that as the secretary, I have to learn from you young people all the time. You are so ambitious about everything."
When Cao Wuwen was talking, he had a smile on his face. Ma Yingjie didn't understand what Cao Wuwen was thinking. Moreover, this was the boss's instruction, and it was also a good thing for Qin County. Cao Wuwen had no reason to oppose it.
"Secretary, you are too polite. I am still young, and I have to learn from you all the time. In the future, please give me more advice. " Ma Yingjie was sincere and polite. Cao Wuwen snorted coldly in his heart and cursed, "What a f * cking idiot."
Cao Wuwen finished his cigarette quickly. He fiercely put out the butt of the cigarette in the ashtray, then raised his head and said, "It is good that young people like to learn, and it is also good that they like to do things. Since it's such a good thing, I'm blessed to be the Secretary. Go ahead and do it. I'll fully support you. "
Cao Wuwen said it as if it was true, and there was a smile on his face. Ma Yingjie was excited by his words. The doubts that had just arisen in his mind suddenly disappeared. He hurriedly looked at Cao Wuwen and said, "Thank you so much, Secretary. With your words, I will do my best. In the future, Qin County will definitely have earth-shaking changes."
Ma Yingjie was excited. Cao Wuwen smiled and said, "Go, do it well." Then he stood up. Obviously, he was going to see Ma Yingjie off.
Ma Yingjie also stood up and left Cao Wuwen's office with excitement. However, as soon as Ma Yingjie left, Cao Wuwen was so angry that he smashed the glass that Ma Yingjie had drunk from on the floor. He even used his foot to step on it. 'This young man is really too much of a bully,' Cao Wuwen thought.
When Ma Yingjie returned to the office, he started writing materials about the Red Tourist Route. Due to the special nature of Qin County, it was not difficult to write such materials. They were all real and commendable tourist attractions. Moreover, Qin County had indeed paid a huge price for the liberation of the whole of China. The price was obvious to all, so there was no need for him to fabricate or exaggerate.
Ma Yingjie's writing was smooth. When he finished, it was not yet time to get off work. He made himself a cup of tea. After a few sips, he hesitated for a while and took out his phone. He had to contact Situ Lan. Although Situ Lan had not called or texted him since he came back from Hainan, he had to contact Situ Lan for work. Moreover, it was his boss's order, so he felt that he had to contact Situ Lan.
The phone got through, but Ma Yingjie's hand still trembled. He was still thinking about how to talk to Situ Lan, but Situ Lan spoke first. Situ Lan asked Ma Yingjie, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Yes." Ma Yingjie softly said, "Yes." His hand was sweating. Fortunately, no matter how he behaved, Situ Lan could not see it.
"Tell me, what is it?" Situ Lan's tone sounded businesslike, and she was not as crazy as she used to be.
"I want to do something for the Qin County, but I need Sister Lan's help." Ma Yingjie said tentatively on the phone. He switched the phone to his other hand and wiped the sweat off his hand on his pants. Only after wiping the sweat off did he feel a little relieved. Why was he nervous in front of Situ Lan again? Was it really because she was going to become someone else's bride that his relationship with her had to revert back to the respectful one before? But could they go back to the starting point?
Ma Yingjie did not know, nor did he want to think about it. But when he faced Situ Lan, he still could not calm down and be at ease.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you beating around the bush?" Situ Lan sounded impatient on the other end of the phone.
Ma Yingjie felt a little awkward. That's right. If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you beating around the bush?
"I want to ask Sister Lan to help me apply for the red tourist route. I've written the materials. When do Sister Lan have time? Can I come to Beijing? The old man is sick. Can I visit him? "Ma Yingjie said his purpose and request. Compared to before, it was indeed a little difficult.
