"Xiaoxue, you're right. We can't take this money. I just came to Qin County and haven't established myself yet. This money is a trap and a weakness. How about this? You donate this money to the Five Elementary Schools in Qin County. It's a Hope Primary School. You can ask the school to give you a receipt. " Ma Yingjie thought this was the safest way to do it. It wouldn't break the rules of Qin County, so he handed the money over. However, he was worried about leaving Luan Xiaoxue alone. Luan Xiaoxue didn't know where the Five Elementary Schools were. Moreover, it was a special period for Luan Xiaoxue. If she accidentally fell, he wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility. Although he felt an invisible force was suppressing him, this was a process he had to bear and experience as an official. Luan Xiaoxue was different. She couldn't be involved.
The boss was right. Secretary Jiang Chaoqun and Su Xiaoyang drank the water from the same river. There was no reason for him to smile at him. Usually, there was a hidden force behind such a smile. In officialdom, one had to be careful at every step to be able to deal with the opponent's moves. They had already vilified him on the Internet. Of course, Li Xiaomei was also there. She was just a pawn in their vilification. Thinking of this, Ma Yingjie called Li Xiaomei. Li Xiaomei was sitting in her office in a daze. Her mind was full of the photos on the Internet. She really didn't have the mood to calm herself down.
Li Xiaomei saw that it was Ma Yingjie's call. She immediately pressed the answer button and said, "Hello, County Mayor Ma."
"Director Li, the employees of your company came to see me this morning. Please thank them for me. They gave me some money and asked me to buy some soup. But I just came to Qin County, and I can't be thirsty for such soup. Can you come to the hospital now and accompany my wife to donate this money to the Five Elementary Schools? " Ma Yingjie tried his best to remain calm. He realized that in the officialdom, you didn't know when an accident would happen, or even when something unexpected would happen. A person's calmness and composure were the deciding factors in victory. He had been worried about the money. Luan Xiaoxue's words suddenly gave him a way to solve the problem.
After a while, Li Xiaomei came to the hospital. Even at this time, Ma Yingjie still trusted her and was willing to let her do things. She felt really grateful and warm in her heart. Yes, it was warm. Ever since that man was arrested, her life had nothing to do with warmth. She even forgot the word. Li Xiaomei was actually a simple woman, she often didn't know how to turn around, but now, the Ma Yingjie gave her this feeling again, no matter what, she felt that she had the obligation to protect the Ma Yingjie, even if she quit as the director, she would not let the Ma Yingjie be implicated.
When Luan Xiaoxue was about to leave, Ma Yingjie suddenly said, "Director Li, my wife is pregnant. Please take care of her when she goes downstairs."
Li Xiaomei turned to look at Ma Yingjie. She was really touched. But she didn't say anything. She nodded and held Luan Xiaoxue's arm. They walked down the stairs like sisters.
The ward was quiet for a while. Ma Yingjie was still thinking about these things. He felt that blocking the national highway, the photos on the Internet, and these gifts were all part of an organized and planned scheme. They were plotting against him. But why? Just as Mayor Luo had said, his position as the Deputy Mayor of Qin County had indeed affected some people, but it wasn't to this extent. What's more, he was a high-ranking official. Usually, high-ranking officials would not stay in the place they worked for for long. They would always go for a promotion or something. They wouldn't be a threat to the local grass-roots officials. Because high-ranking officials like him wouldn't rob the local grass-roots officials of resources. So, as long as the high-ranking officials didn't do anything overboard, they would treat them amiably. In other words, they were good to you and good to me. Anyway, you were just a guest.
Ma Yingjie thought of the peace during the publicity period. During the publicity period, there was basically no voice of opposition, especially Su Xiaoyang. When he saw Ma Yingjie, he had a smile on his face. Moreover, he really pulled a group of brothers together. Everyone had a happy drink together. That drink was paid for by a boss that Su Xiaoyang found, and they were all brothers from the secretarial department. The whole table was filled with congratulatory words. It was obvious that everyone was happy and in high spirits. Ma Yingjie had the chance to be promoted. It proved that being a leader's secretary was the best path to an official's career.
That night, Ma Yingjie even thought that Su Xiaoyang wouldn't stab him in the back again. Ran Bingbing was also very quiet during that period. No one targeted him or Luan Xiaoxue. He thought that everything was over and everyone was living in peace. Now it seemed that he was wrong. "The calmer the water, the greater the storm and danger hidden." This was a symbol, a fable, and a warning for those who walked the path of an official, so that Ma Yingjie had to be on guard. But the young Ma Yingjie couldn't understand why it was like this. He just instinctively felt that there was something strange about this incident. And Luo Tianyun's attitude also told him that it was not as simple as it seemed.
The calmer the officialdom looked, the more there were hidden undercurrents. As a secretary for two years, Ma Yingjie naturally knew this. But when he had to face the strange power struggle alone, he was still a little nervous and worried. He also knew that working in Qin County was the first step to higher power. It was a cornerstone. While he had to lay a good foundation and follow closely behind Luo Tianyun, he also had to be capable and not make any financial mistakes.
Now, they were going to create all kinds of trouble for Ma Yingjie. When Ma Yingjie understood this, he would naturally be on guard against them and find all kinds of ways to solve the problem. He didn't believe that he would lose to Su Xiaoyang. He thought that he was a man with ideals and ambition, and even wanted to do something practical. In this aspect, he and Su Xiaoyang were two different kinds of people. Evil could not prevail over good. Thinking of this, Ma Yingjie's worries and worries were greatly relieved.
It was better for the enemy to be in front of him than the enemy hiding in the dark. If the boss didn't remind him that Jiang Chaoqun and Su Xiaoyang drank from the same river, he wouldn't be able to see the sharp knife behind Jiang Chaoqun's smiling face. Now that he knew that the enemy was coming for him, he was not afraid or nervous anymore.
In the officialdom, the scariest thing was not knowing who the enemy was and what the enemy was going to do. Stabbing someone in the back was the most frightening and lethal injury, because those who could stab someone in the back were usually people they trusted and were close to. He had almost thought that Jiang Chaoqun was a power that he could rely on, a power that he could get close to. But now, it seemed that his difficult path had just begun. The battles that followed might be even crueler and more intense.
After Li Xiaomei brought Luan Xiaoxue back to the hospital, Ma Yingjie asked the driver, Xiaowang, to handle the discharge procedures for him. Li Xiaomei didn't agree with Ma Yingjie's discharge, and neither did Luan Xiaoxue. Women tended to be more emotional when dealing with things than men. Li Xiaomei only thought of it from the perspective of caring for Ma Yingjie, but she didn't think of another layer.
At this time, Ma Yingjie said, "I can't stay here. Today, there was a scene of gift-giving. If I stay here, there will definitely be more, and it will become more and more intense. If the reporters take pictures of this gift-giving again, I won't be able to explain myself even if I have ten mouths. The current situation is obviously coming for me, and they are in the dark while I am in the light. Instead of being attacked passively, it's better to take the initiative. "
After listening to Ma Yingjie's words, Li Xiaomei understood why Ma Yingjie wanted to be discharged. It seemed that although Ma Yingjie was young, his ability to analyze problems was very strong. Her sister was far from being able to see the situation clearly like Ma Yingjie. Although she also had a feeling that all of this was planned by someone, it was just a feeling, and she didn't think too deeply about it. After hearing what Ma Yingjie said, she realized that people's hearts were as deep as the sea, and she was afraid that it was not something that a small director like her could see clearly. Therefore, she said to Luan Xiaoxue, "Luan Xiaoxue, I think it's better to let County Mayor Ma leave the hospital. Don't worry, my sister is the head nurse. I'll let her give anti-inflammatory injections to County Mayor Ma every day. For external injuries, it's mainly anti-inflammatory. Don't worry, I'll arrange it. "
On the way to the Five Primary Schools with Luan Xiaoxue, Li Xiaomei naturally took good care of Luan Xiaoxue because of Ma Yingjie's instructions and her gratitude to Ma Yingjie. Growing up, Luan Xiaoxue had always been very independent. Except for Gu Yanling who always helped her, she had never really enjoyed the care of an elder sister like Li Xiaomei. Li Xiaomei helped her into the car, and also helped her out of the car. Luan Xiaoxue told Li Xiaomei not to do this, because she was not made of clay. But Li Xiaomei still held her hand very intimately, and didn't think that she was a country person at all. When Luan Xiaoxue thought of country people, she didn't know why she thought of Ran Bingbing again. Her heart was pulled a few times, and she felt pain. Although she left Ran Bingbing, would Ran Bingbing stop? Whenever Luan Xiaoxue thought of her, she always felt gloomy.
After the trip to the Five Primary Schools, Li Xiaomei and Luan Xiaoxue became much closer. In addition, Luan Xiaoxue had just returned to Qin County, and she had no friends except her family, so she naturally believed in Li Xiaomei. Hearing Li Xiaomei's words, she let it go.
After finishing the discharge procedures, Li Xiaomei insisted on sending Ma Yingjie and Luan Xiaoxue home. It was a new house with an area of more than 80 square meters. Although it was not big, the room was very clean and warm. It was a house for a young couple to get married, and there was a big red "Happy" word on the window. Because of this, Ma Yingjie took a fancy to the house at first sight and rented it immediately. This place was a little far from the Qin County Government Compound, but it was quiet. Besides, Ma Yingjie thought that there would be a special car to pick them up, so it was fine if it was a little far.
