The officialdom was so subtle. Liu Lihai smiled in his heart, but he pretended to see everything on his face.
"Let's go." Yao Haidong stood up, and Liu Lihai had no choice but to stand up as well.
They walked into the elevator one after another. Yao Haidong didn't speak, and Liu Lihai didn't know what to say. In the elevator, both of them seemed very awkward. However, Liu Lihai didn't understand why Yao Haidong insisted that he come to his office. To show his current prestige as an official? He could totally wait for Yao Haidong downstairs.
Sigh, these people are more and more cautious and complicated than the last. Liu Lihai had to be more careful in dealing with them.
It wasn't until they got into Yao Haidong's car that Yao Haidong said, "It was her idea to let you sit in my office."
Yao Haidong actually said it was her, not Minister Leng. He didn't know why when this "her" fell into Liu Lihai's heart, he couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was. It turned out that the two of them were so close.
"She's in Beijing." Yao Haidong saw that Liu Lihai didn't speak, so he added.
"Leng." Liu Lihai opened his mouth to say the word "Leng", but he couldn't say the word "sister". Although he thought that Leng Hongyan might be in Beijing, when he really heard the news, Liu Lihai was still very surprised. "Is she doing well?" Liu Lihai changed his words and also used the word "her".
Yao Haidong glanced at Liu Lihai because they all sat in the back seat. This was Yao Haidong's idea. Originally, Liu Lihai wanted to sit in the front seat.
This glance made Liu Lihai very uncomfortable. "If you, Yao Haidong, can use" her ", why can't I?" Liu Lihai secretly thought.
Although Liu Lihai pretended to be calm, what kind of person was Yao Haidong? He knew what this young man was thinking at a glance. He snorted coldly and turned his head to look out the window. He really didn't want to talk to this young man, let alone communicate with him. What could he communicate with Liu Lihai? What did he know?
In Yao Haidong's eyes, Liu Lihai was just a high-class vase. It was one thing for a woman to be a vase, but Yao Haidong looked down on a man being a vase.
When Liu Lihai saw Yao Haidong turn his face to the side, he knew that his words had hurt Yao Haidong, but Yao Haidong's disdainful face made Liu Lihai very uncomfortable. He couldn't help but say, "The Secretary-General has always looked down on me, I know. But I am still young. No matter what I have done wrong, I can change, and I am willing to change. I hope that the Secretary-General will give me more guidance in the future, okay? "
Yao Haidong didn't expect Liu Lihai to say this. He was a little embarrassed. After all, his inner thoughts were seen through by this young man. At the same time, he was so humble to ask for guidance. This made Yao Haidong have to turn his face and communicate with Liu Lihai.
"It's not guidance. By the way, is your work not going well recently? "Yao Haidong changed the topic. He couldn't be so jealous with a young man, right? That would be too stingy. Besides, although Leng Hongyan didn't give him feelings, Leng Hongyan gave him a position. Without Leng Hongyan's exchange, it would be dangerous for him to enter the Standing Committee. After all, there were too many people eyeing this position. Not to mention the relationship in the province, there was Yu Zaiqing, the Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, who had always been close and trusted by Wu Haotian. But in the end, the position of Secretary-General was still given to Yao Haidong. It had to be said that without Leng Hongyan's withdrawal as an exchange, it was likely that Yu Zaiqing would accept the position of Secretary-General. No wonder Yu Zaiqing was not happy with his boss. Although Secretary Wu Haotian gave the position to Yao Haidong, he didn't give his heart to Yao Haidong. He still trusted Yu Zaiqing the most.
Of course, it was impossible for Yao Haidong to discuss these issues with Liu Lihai. Liu Lihai also didn't understand. There were struggles at all levels in the officialdom. It was just that the higher the level, the more intense the struggle. Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, all they saw was harmony. They couldn't see the struggle. Just like the struggle between him and Deputy Secretary Yu Zaiqing, it was not visible on the surface. He and Yu Zaiqing were even very harmonious. Take the document just now for example. Yu Zaiqing was the first one to look through it. He was the one who sent the document back to the Secretariat and said that Secretary Wu Haotian had asked for amendments. So, Yao Haidong had to pay attention to this matter. He had to seriously figure out how to draft the document before going to Beijing. Only then did Yu Zaiqing not say anything.
"Secretary-General, you also know the situation in Lin County. In my opinion, Secretary Shi is definitely not satisfied. So, the work is just like that. "Liu Lihai wanted to pour out his grievances, but after saying a few words, he stopped. His relationship with Yao Haidong was delicate, and it was impossible for him to pour out his grievances.
"Shi Zhilin is a character. Not to mention you, even Liu Shouwang and I have misjudged him. So, in the officialdom, there is a price to pay for underestimating the enemy. "Yao Haidong said with great emotion.
"Thank you, Secretary-General. Your words speak louder than ten years of reading." Liu Lihai quickly flattered Yao Haidong. Indeed, Yao Haidong was the Secretary-General after all. He hit the nail on the head and cut the throat with a sword. Yes, the officialdom was a kind of struggle. Without struggle, what was so exciting about officialdom? This was a major feature of politics. But underestimating the enemy was a weakness of many people. Gong Daojin underestimated the enemy, Liu Shouwang also underestimated the enemy, but what about himself? Although he was not qualified to be Shi Zhilin's opponent, Shi Zhilin was obviously more diligent than them. He won because he did not underestimate the enemy. Even Liu Lihai, he still kept a close eye on him.
Liu Lihai had a feeling of meeting a bosom friend at this time. He wanted to tell Yao Haidong about his current situation in full detail and wanted to hear Yao Haidong's opinion. But how could he say it? Did he dare to say it? The person he was going to see now was Leng Hongyan. Did he dare to say that Shi Zhilin had a beautiful affair between him and a girl in his hands?
"It is a good thing that young people love to use their brains, but it is not a good thing for young people to use their brains too much." In the face of Liu Lihai's flattery, Yao Haidong said noncommittally.
"Thank you, Secretary-General. I will remember Secretary-General's teachings." This time, Liu Lihai was sincerely grateful. Although he did not quite understand what Yao Haidong was referring to, he would remember these words and think about it carefully.
This young man's mouth was quite sweet. Yao Haidong had to admit it. If his mouth was not sweet, would Leng Hongyan be so obsessed with it? As for why Leng Hongyan suddenly appeared in Beijing and suddenly summoned him and Liu Lihai, in fact, Yao Haidong also did not know. It was just that Leng Hongyan's tone on the phone was good and he looked very happy. However, Leng Hongyan sincerely cared and loved Liu Lihai. He asked Yao Haidong to go to his office to have a look before he brought Liu Lihai to Beijing and learn about his broad and profound knowledge. However, how much did Liu Lihai understand about "broad and profound knowledge"?
Yao Haidong did not want to ask. He did what Leng Hongyan asked him to do. He could not get close to Liu Lihai. After all, they were still rivals in love, and he was defeated by this young man. This knot, even if Yao Haidong was magnanimous, he still could not get over it. However, there was one thing. Liu Lihai was a man of loyalty. The problem with Gong Daojin was enough to prove this. This was probably another explanation that Leng Hongyan could not forget. This little boy was trained by her, so who would be willing to deny the results of their own efforts? Not to mention that it was a process where the winner and the loser were hard to determine.
They arrived at the provincial airport. After the driver dropped Yao Haidong and Liu Lihai off, he turned around and went back to Jingjiang.
Liu Lihai was familiar with Beijing. At this time, he played the role of a guide. He changed the boarding pass and volunteered to carry the bag for Yao Haidong. Yao Haidong did not refuse and let Liu Lihai arrange it. He also knew that Liu Lihai studied in Beijing for four years and also worked in Beijing for a period of time. In terms of familiarity with Beijing, Liu Lihai was far better than him. Besides, he could not go to see Leng Hongyan empty-handed, so he brought some local specialties. Of course, it had to be carried by Liu Lihai. Liu Lihai came empty-handed. Of course, his relationship with Leng Hongyan was different. He could not bring anything. If he brought a gift, maybe Leng Hongyan would be unhappy again.
After boarding the plane, Yao Haidong and Liu Lihai's seats were together again. Yao Haidong still asked about Sun Xiaomu, the girl who broke Leng Hongyan's heart. How was her relationship with Liu Lihai now?
"When are you and Sun Xiaomu getting married?" Yao Haidong looked at Liu Lihai and asked.
Liu Lihai was shocked. He did not expect Yao Haidong to suddenly ask this question. He lowered his head and did not speak for a long time. Yao Haidong asked again in confusion, "Did you blow it?"
"Yes." Liu Lihai responded.
"Why?" Yao Haidong didn't understand. Was this the kind of relationship between a man and a woman that could quickly climb up the social ladder?
"She, she …" Liu Lihai stuttered. He did not know whether he should tell Yao Haidong about Sun Xiaomu's identity.
"Was she the one who wanted to leave you?" Yao Haidong probed.
"Yes." Liu Lihai lowered his head and answered in a low voice. He was still considering whether to tell Yao Haidong about Sun Xiaomu's identity. This was the only chance for him to get closer to Yao Haidong and also the only chance for him to win Yao Haidong's favor. Without Leng Hongyan, if he could win Yao Haidong's trust, his life in Lin County would be easier in the future. Or he could ask to leave Lin County and have someone to speak for him.
"Alas." Yao Haidong suddenly sighed. He did not expect that the girl would leave Liu Lihai in such a short time. How could the girl, who gave up her job for Liu Lihai, leave just like that?
"She has a new lover?" Yao Haidong added.
This question made Liu Lihai's heart hurt. It was tantamount to asking if Liu Lihai had been cuckolded. This made Liu Lihai very unhappy. The idea of approaching Yao Haidong, which had just arisen, suddenly disappeared without a trace. He said in a muffled voice, "It's impossible for her to have a new lover."
"How can you be so sure? Nowadays, girls have no house or car. Who would be willing to marry you? "Why did Yao Haidong's tone sound like he was taking pleasure in other people's misfortune? But Liu Lihai did not dare to ask Yao Haidong. He still said in a muffled voice, "It's her father who opposes our marriage."
