Shi Peide, the Provincial Party Committee's First Secretary, had a weird personality. Sometimes, he would treat people warmly and would joke around with them. Other times, he would put on airs and be cold. In short, he did not give people the feeling that he was friendly with Yu Hongwei, the Provincial Party Committee's First Secretary. Of course, this wasn't a conclusion. Li Rui thought that if he wasn't Lu Zhouxing's son-in-law, Yu Hongwei wouldn't treat him so warmly.
Tonight, Shi Peide didn't want to talk. He seemed to be in a bad mood. After exchanging a few words with Li Rui, he leaned on the sofa and fell into deep thought.
Since Shi Peide didn't want to talk, Li Rui was happy to rest. Other than drinking water, he basically didn't open his mouth. Sometimes, he wondered if Shi Peide was being cold to him on purpose. As the saying goes, subordinates follow the example of their superiors. Could it be that Secretary Huang was disgusted with his boss, so he, as his secretary, learned from him and ignored him? But that couldn't be right. Secretary Huang had always thought highly of his boss. He even went to Qingyang City incognito to give his boss advice. So it wasn't possible for him to suddenly dislike him, right? He could only say that there was something wrong with Shi Peide's personality.
However, he didn't know that Shi Peide was suffering from hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoids was a common chronic disease in life. There was a saying that went, "nine out of ten men have hemorrhoids." This showed how high the incidence of hemorrhoids was. Of course, it wasn't only men who were prone to this disease. Most women with bad living habits would also get this disease. This disease was a classic chronic disease. It lurked in the capillaries of the anus for a long time. When it flared up, it would come without a trace. Even if you stared at it, you wouldn't know where it came from. It could make people restless and unable to walk. It was as painful as having a knife cutting their flesh. After the symptoms disappeared, it would disappear without a trace. No one knew where it went. It was very difficult to treat. Until now, there wasn't any medicine, medical expert, or hospital in the world that could completely cure this disease.
In order to treat this disease, the first thing to do was to improve one's living habits. Shi Peide knew that his diet had to be bland, avoid spicy foods, exercise more, do not sit or run for long periods of time … But the problem was that as the First Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, even his time was not his own, let alone his body. If he couldn't even control his body, how could he change his lifestyle? Just like that, the hemorrhoids became more and more serious, from once every few months to a few times every month. Many times, the pain would last for a month. Every day, the pain would be unbearable. Anyone who had experienced it would know how it felt. It was an indescribable pain.
Right now, he felt as if there was a sharp knife cutting his flesh below his buttocks. The small knife didn't just cut the flesh on the outside, but from time to time, it would stab deep into the flesh. Every time this happened, she wished she could scream out loud to relieve the pain. He tried his best to control his expression and not show any signs of pain. He was afraid that Li Rui would laugh at him. He also wanted to stand up and walk a few steps, but when he walked, the friction between his legs would only increase the pain. Thus, he could only sit deeply on the sofa with his legs slightly raised so that the hemorrhoids would not come into contact with the surface of the sofa.
He endured for a long time, but in the end, he couldn't take it anymore. In addition, the atmosphere in the living room was too oppressive, so he suddenly said: "Being a secretary really doesn't feel good!" When Li Rui heard this, he was stunned and turned to look at Shi Peide. Seeing Shi Peide's bitter face, he was slightly surprised. He didn't know what Shi Peide's words meant, but he could only say: "Yes, Shi Chu's words hit the nail on the head. Anyone who has been a secretary would know." Shi Peide shook his head and sighed: "Do you know what the biggest sorrow of being a secretary is?"
Li Rui knew that there was no correct answer to this question, and Shi Peide didn't need him to provide an answer. He only needed a response. It was like performing a crosstalk where the comedian said something and the comedian had to follow suit. Otherwise, it wouldn't be interesting. Thus, he asked: "What is it?" Shi Peide said in pain: "It's not having freedom. Once a person loses their freedom, they will lose everything, including their body … "As he spoke, he clenched his fists to resist the waves of pain coming from his buttocks. He clenched his teeth and continued:" … I know a lot of people who are in the same profession. Their bodies collapsed early and they got into a lot of problems. They couldn't hold on before they retired. People in their forties look like they are in their sixties or seventies. "
Li Rui deeply agreed and said: "Yes, even though I've only been a secretary for the Song Shuji for less than half a year, I already have a deep understanding of it. Don't be fooled by our glamorous appearances and the fact that we often mingle with the leaders. In reality, we also suffer a lot. " Shi Peide sighed and said: "I'm sick all over now. My cervical vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae aren't good, my nerves are weak, I can't sleep at night, I have insomnia, I have a lot of dreams, and I even got hemorrhoids from sitting … Sigh, there's no good place from top to bottom …"
While the two secretaries were complaining, in the study upstairs, Song Chaoyang had just finished reporting to Huang Xinnian about the incident of Qingyang City's Executive Deputy Mayor, Jia Yulong's wife, Chen Xinying, causing a ruckus at the Municipal Party Committee.
He finally added: "I wanted to report this to you at the time, but I thought it would be inconvenient to talk about it over the phone, so I delayed it until now. It's not that I didn't want to report it."
Huang Xinnian didn't express any opinions and only asked: "What's the situation now?" Song Chaoyang hurriedly said, "Mayor Jia Yulong has already promised me that he will solve this matter properly. He is preparing to marry that Chen Xinying and strive to become legal husband and wife as soon as possible." Huang Xinnian asked again, "Do many people know about this?" Song Chaoyang shook his head and said, "Not many." Huang Xinnian lightly said, "Then forget it." Song Chaoyang felt as if a huge rock had been lifted from his heart. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief and was very happy: "Thank you, Secretary, for your understanding." Huang Xinnian explained: "Chaoyang, your Qingyang City's situation is special. The previous Secretary and the Chief of the Municipal Public Security Bureau have both been removed from office because of the issue of men and women. If Jia Yulong is dealt with because of this, it will easily cause a negative social and political impact. This time, I'll give you a way out and not mention it. I hope that when you go back, you will strengthen the work style of your team and prevent similar incidents from happening again. If your team is not stable, how are you going to do your business? "
Although there was no strong criticism in these words, Song Chaoyang still felt his scalp tingle and he nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Before the end of this conversation, Huang Xinnian mentioned that he had recently received news that at the beginning of the New Year, there would be an inspection team from Beijing to various cities in Shannan Province to decide whether or not to invest. If they were to invest, the investment would be at least over a billion yuan. At the same time, it would provide a large number of jobs and pay over a hundred million yuan in taxes every year. This was an obvious boost to a city's development.
That was all he said. After that, he abruptly stopped talking and looked at Song Chaoyang with an expression that said, "As for what the leaders of your cities should do next … you know."
Song Chaoyang was surprised and happy. This was a big gift from heaven. If he could promote the establishment of a central enterprise in Qingyang City during his term, it would definitely be a great political achievement. With this political achievement, it would be much easier to climb up the ranks. He immediately said: "Secretary, don't worry. When I return to Qingyang City this time, I will prepare as soon as possible to welcome the inspection team. At the same time, I will actively improve the software and hardware environment of Qingyang City to welcome the inspection team with the best image and strive to attract a central enterprise to settle in Qingyang City."
Huang Xinnian nodded and picked up the teacup.
Serving tea was the same as seeing the guest out! Song Chaoyang thought about it. He had already reported what he needed to report to this big boss. Since there was nothing else to do, it was time to leave. Thus, he got up and said goodbye.
On the way out of the Provincial Party Courtyard, Song Chaoyang excitedly said to Li Rui, "Xiao Rui, good news. A central enterprise inspection team is coming to Shannan Province for investment inspection. If Qingyang City can be selected, we will have a good start this year."
Li Rui was also very happy to hear that, but he felt that the probability of Qingyang City being selected was not high.
Indeed, Qingyang City and Jingnan City were both ancient cities with the longest history in Shannan Province. Moreover, Qingyang City's history, politics, culture, and other aspects were more profound. However, the wheel of time had rolled on to the 21st century. Judging a city no longer depended on its heritage, but on its economy and GDP. No one mentioned the "ancient capitals of the six dynasties" or even the "ancient capitals of the twelve dynasties" for a long time. Now, people talked more about those economically strong cities. Even many small cities that became rich due to coal mining often appeared on the news. No matter how "nouveau riche" these cities looked, they could not hide the fact that they were rich.
