The secretary general of the provincial government, Peng Yiyuan, came forward and said to Lu Xinbo, "The governor has emphasized many times that the inspection work should be carried out lightly. This will damage the governor's reputation. Secretary Luo, Mayor Li, I think the motorcade... "
Luo Tianyun immediately said, "I asked them to go back separately, leaving only a few cars. I will review it, I will review it." As he said this, he gave Li Huiling a look, and Li Huiling hurriedly arranged for some of the cars to go back first.
Lu Xinbo, with his big belly, glanced at the slowly but unwillingly leaving motorcade, glanced at the land of Shuzhou, and then turned his eyes back to Luo Tianyun and said, "The weather in Shuzhou is good."
"Thanks to the governor, it is especially sunny today." Luo Tianyun said.
"Get in the car, we will talk on the way." Lu Xinbo said.
Luo Tianyun hurried to open the door for Lu Xinbo, but he was half a beat too late, and the door was opened by Peng Yiyuan. Lu Xinbo did not hurry to get into the car, he still stood there. Luo Tianyun understood what Lu Xinbo was going to do. He moved the door a little before Lu Xinbo lowered his head and got in.
Luo Tianyun's eyes met with Peng Yiyuan's. Both of them were expressionless, but both of them understood. They knew that the governor was happy and happy. In fact, letting more than half of the cars go back was a gesture, not a matter of whether it was appropriate or not. The key was that you let the motorcade come in advance, and let Lu Xinbo see it with his own eyes. This was the key.
Ma Yingjie's car was at the back, not because he was the last, but because it was his duty. There was a police car in front, so there would be no mistakes. To put it bluntly, the petitioners were timid. They dared to stop the car of the chief, but few dared to stop the police car. When Ma Yingjie was in charge of petitions, he heard from a petitioner that he never stopped the police car. The reason was that the police car could not kill people, and it would be a waste of time.
Ma Yingjie was in charge of the rear, and if something went wrong, as the deputy secretary general, it would be difficult to defend himself. His eyes were vigilant and his expression was highly focused. He couldn't afford to be distracted at this time. If the governor was besieged by petitioners as soon as he set foot on the land of Shuzhou, it would be a big news. After driving for about 20 minutes, Ma Yingjie received a text message from Luo Tianyun. Luo Tianyun was even more nervous than Ma Yingjie. He seemed to have expected that something bad would happen to Lu Xinbo during this trip and reminded him again in the message to be highly responsible and not to be careless and neglect his duties.
Ma Yingjie smiled. The boss actually used the term 'neglect of duty'. This term should be used on other people in other places. Why did he use it on me? He sent a message back to Luo Tianyun, asking Luo Tianyun to accompany the leader with peace of mind. As a goalkeeper, he was not so retarded that he did not care about his job. After sending the message, he peeked out of the car window and scanned his surroundings. At this time, it was already May, and the summer was thick. Shuzhou was tender and beautiful. All kinds of flowers and trees decorated the land enchanting and dazzling. In fact, Ma Yingjie didn't like summer because it was too noisy. He also didn't like autumn because it was too sad. He liked spring or winter. He felt that the coldness and quietness of winter were better than the chilliness of autumn. There was no snow in Shuzhou. If there was snow, the winter would be more beautiful.
At this time, Ma Yingjie unexpectedly thought of an old leader, Wu Jianhua, who used to be the mayor of Wujiang. Who would have thought that during the financial crisis, Wu Jianhua would attract Michelle to Wujiang by attracting investment to help a female boss, Michelle, and also to help himself. The story that happened next was shocking, and even Ma Yingjie, a young man who thought that he was quite open-minded, was dumbfounded. Wu Jianhua and Michelle actually ignited the fire of love in a short period of two months. It was like two people who were stranded on dry land by love, and as soon as they met, they couldn't stop burning together. Situ Lan's good friend, Shui Xiu, fell out with Michelle because of this matter and scolded her for valuing a lover over a friend. They had agreed that the two women would go to Wujiang to start a business together, but unexpectedly, Michelle started a business in bed first and hung out with Wu Jianhua every day. She didn't care about the company she had just invested in or her younger sister, and left Shui Xiu in Wujiang, a strange place. Later, when he saw that the wildfire between Michelle and Wu Jianhua was burning more and more fiercely, to the point where it was no longer ordinary, he knew that this person was already incurable. Thus, he tore up the contract with Michelle, angrily left Wu Jiang, and flew back to Shenzhen.
However, Michelle stubbornly stayed in Wujiang. She and Wu Jianhua put on a spectacular love drama, which shocked everyone. Not only did the Municipal Party Committee of Wujiang come forward to ask Wu Jianhua to pay attention to his image and not let down the organization's many years of nurturing. Even Wu Jianhua's 86-year-old father-in-law also came to Wujiang with a cane to defend the rights and interests of his precious daughter. But nothing could stop love. The two middle-aged man and woman were completely crazy, and they didn't listen to anyone's words or threats. Michelle was fine. After all, she was a woman outside of marriage and single. Even if she had feelings for Luo Tianyun and Ma Yingjie before, how could these feelings resist the wild wind of Wujiang? With a light blow, nothing would be left, and not even a trace would be left. What was terrible was Wu Jianhua, such a capable man, whose career was in a good state, and his future was immeasurable, but he was infatuated with a middle-aged woman and completely lost his rationality. It could be seen how great the demon of love was. After half a year of torment, Wu Jianhua escaped from his marriage. As retribution, he lost his official position. He lost everything that he had gained after rolling around in the officialdom for more than 20 years and endured humiliation. Without an official position, he actually became the vice president of Michelle's company.
Life was like a drama, who could see the variables in it clearly? Who could see whether the footsteps of Qingming Day would continue to follow today's trajectory? At any point in time, life would suddenly have a shock, and then everything would become completely different. At that time, Ma Yingjie was filled with emotion, and even today, he was still sighing incessantly. Not many people could be as calm and resolute as Wu Jianhua, with the courage of a strong warrior breaking his own wrist! A mayor, a popular official who was about to take over the position of the Municipal Party Committee's secretary, just left like that for a middle-aged woman, it was incredible!
Now, this large group of people came from Wu River, and Ma Yingjie didn't understand why he suddenly thought of this old matter. It was only at this time that Ma Yingjie realized where his misfortune lay. He wasn't a person who dared to love and hate, and even more so, he wasn't a man who could take responsibility for love. Every time he thought of this, he would blame himself, and he would feel so guilty and depressed that he wanted to die. If a man didn't have the courage to pay for love, if he didn't have the responsibility for a woman, then what was the point of being a man?
Later on, Ma Yingjie met Wu Jianhua, and the two men talked about the misfortune. Wu Jianhua didn't have a trace of regret, and he didn't seem to be disappointed. He was full of confidence and passion. He said, "Ma Yingjie, I've finally understood. In the past, I was only half a person, and now I'm finally complete."
Half a person? Ma Yingjie didn't understand at that time, and he asked in astonishment. Wu Jianhua laughed and said, "Ma Yingjie is mighty, look at yourself. Are you a complete person? Your hands and feet are tied, and your mouth is in other people's hands. You have to say what other people want to hear, and your brain is on other people's shoulders. You have to think about problems that other people like. Even when you make love, you don't dare to be happy because you're an official!"
"What's wrong with being an official?" Even though Ma Yingjie felt like he had been hit, he still asked, unconvinced.
"An official is a member of the organization, not yourself. If a person isn't himself, then what's the point of living? " Wu Jianhua said with a clear laugh, and then he let out a wild laugh. He patted Ma Yingjie's shoulder like a martial artist and said, "I've finally escaped. I've freed myself, and I've taken off the Band-tightening Curse that I've been wearing for twenty-five years. I've lived to my heart's content."
To his heart's content? Ma Yingjie was trapped by these four words for a long time. From time to time, he would ask himself, 'Have you ever been to your heart's content? Have you ever lived to your heart's content?' But the answer was very gloomy. Just like today, when he faced the mighty army, when he faced Luo Tianyun's tense body, Ma Yingjie knew that all officials were walking on a tightrope, and no one was an exception!
Ma Yingjie knew that he would never be able to walk out of the officialdom in this lifetime. He couldn't walk out of this shackle, and he could only sink deeper and deeper. He didn't have the courage that Wu Jianhua had, and he lacked passion. Did he really lack passion? Ma Yingjie angrily slammed his head down. Then, he heard a voice from afar, and it came from his heart. 'Yes! Yes, he did! ' He knew that he was different from Wu Jianhua. A person who wouldn't be shaken by anything was either incompetent or ambitious! Ma Yingjie was at the back of the convoy, and he suddenly understood that he was an ambitious person. And his ambition was to be in the officialdom!
The convoy was still moving, but Ma Yingjie's heart was already galloping to the place he wanted to gallop to. Discovering one's own ambition was actually a very scary thing. That was why Ma Yingjie firmly shackled himself, because he didn't want to let himself see his own ambition, and even more so, he didn't want his ambition to jump out and jump onto other people's faces. These days, he suddenly felt a strong desire to emerge, and he couldn't suppress it. It was others who stimulated him. It was also others who kept making mistakes, which made him see an opportunity. It really was an opportunity. If he could grasp this opportunity well, Ma Yingjie would be able to win something. He was very confident. But he had to be very, very careful, because when he made a move, other people's hands weren't idle either. There were countless hands moving around in the officialdom, and there was only one goal, to pull others down, and pull oneself up! Who would go up and who would go down, first, depended on strength, and second, luck.
As Ma Yingjie was thinking, he suddenly felt the convoy stop. "Did the convoy suddenly stop?" Ma Yingjie asked in horror.
"Director, the convoy suddenly stopped," Ma Yingjie's driver, Xiao Wang, repeated.
Ma Yingjie didn't seem to hear what Xiao Wang said, but his whole body was in a daze.
What he was afraid of really happened. This sentence popped up in Ma Yingjie's mind. He hurriedly got out of the car to see what was going on, but he couldn't see anything. There were so many cars on the road, and the more anxious he was, the more he didn't know what was going on.
