Yu Heping drank too much tonight, so he was in high spirits. He said, "Maybe you're thinking that when Song Chaoyang leaves one day, he will take me with him. How nice it would be to move to another place and stay at the top. Haha, you're wrong if you think that way. Because you're from Qingyang, your relatives, friends, connections … all your resources are in Qingyang. You can only make the best use of all your resources in Qingyang. Once you move to another place, you'll have nothing. Even if you manage to stay at the top, you'll just be a general without an army. What's the point? "
Li Rui said, "I'll probably choose to stay in Qingyang."
Yu Heping nodded, "Stay in Qingyang? Well, then you're planning to do this: I'll serve my boss well. When he leaves, he'll be grateful for my contribution and will definitely solve the problem of my rank. He'll promote me to a deputy division head and at the same time, he'll transfer me to another place to pave the way for my development. Haha, that's a good plan. But think about it, your boss has offended all the local leaders in Qingyang. When his term is up, he can just leave and no one can do anything to him. But if he keeps you, his trusted aide, isn't that the same as selling you to those leaders that he offended? Do you think those leaders will treat you well? Do you think you'll be promoted in the future even if you're just a deputy division head? "
Hearing this, Li Rui had already guessed his intention, but he was still not sure. He sneered in his heart, "Old man, old man, don't pretend to be a dog. My boss has offended all the local leaders of Qingyang City?" He didn't offend anyone, did he? But you and Sun Yaozu, the local leaders of Qingyang, were hostile to him when he first came here. You set up obstacles for him everywhere. It wasn't easy for him to gain a firm foothold. Is this considered offending you? Moreover, until now, there are only a few city leaders who are not on good terms with him. The only one who has had many conflicts with him is you, old man. Why don't you just say, "Li Rui, I am jealous of your boss, and I also hate you as a secretary. When your boss is transferred away, I will definitely suppress you, and you can forget about getting promoted."
He cursed in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
Yu Heping saw that he didn't express his opinion, so he asked, "Xiao Rui, have you ever considered the situation I'm talking about?" Li Rui said, "No." Yu Heping frowned and said, "No? Even if you didn't think about it before, I've explained it to you today. You should know, right? " Li Rui said, "Mayor, I think you're exaggerating. I don't think Song Shuji has offended all the local leaders in Qingyang City. Besides, the leaders must be very broad-minded. I don't think they will make things difficult for me just because of Song Shuji. "
Yu Heping sneered and said, "Do you believe what you said? The leaders are very broad-minded? Ah? Hmph! But you're not wrong. The leaders are indeed very broad-minded, but that's only for their own people. Why don't you try it with your political enemies? You're still too young! Well … since I've already told you so much, I'll tell you more. You're a local leader in Qingyang City and will continue to develop in Qingyang City. So you should think about your future development instead of just looking at the little benefits you can get from working with Song Chaoyang. Yes, Song Chaoyang is now the number one person in Qingyang City. You'll have a bright future if you follow him. But after he leaves, he won't let you hug his thigh anymore. Can you still be in the limelight then? And with the deliberate suppression of the leaders he offended, do you still think you can develop? Hmph, I'm afraid you'll never be able to make a name for yourself. "
His words were very reasonable. Li Rui was also thinking about it. If his boss, Song Chaoyang, was really transferred back to the provincial capital in three or four years and demoted him to a deputy leader in the local government, the mayor in front of him might be promoted to the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. He would have the power to appoint people and be the leader of the local government. With the dirty relationship between Song Chaoyang and Song Chaoyang, he would definitely suppress him. In fact, the mayor didn't need to do that. As long as he didn't promote him and give him a chance to improve, his career plan would be ruined. Thinking about this possibility gave him a headache. But then he thought about his father-in-law, the provincial governor, and his immediate superior and uncle, Du Minsheng, who was now a deputy director. He felt that this old fox in front of him was not a problem at all. Not to mention, the head of the Gao family, Gao Guotai, owed him a favor in the provincial capital. Besides, he also had his "brother-in-law", Xu Gengnian, who was now a deputy governor, to look after him. With so many great figures behind him, why should he worry about being attacked in his long career?
Yu Heping saw that his expression was solemn and silent, and thought that he had been moved by his words. Thus, he revealed the main point of tonight's show. "Xiao Rui, when you entered the room just now, I already expressed that I admire your talent and quality. I must put such an outstanding talent like you in an important position. But now that you are with Song Chaoyang, I can't put you in an important position even if I want to. How about this? During the two years that Song Chaoyang will be in Qingyang, you will still be by his side and provide him with services. But as for how you will do that, we will have to discuss it. In short, you can't work for him wholeheartedly. Otherwise, when he offends all the leaders in Qingyang, you will become the target of public criticism. Go back and think about this matter. I will talk to you again when I have time. I value you very much and I am a person who values relationships. I know who is on my side and I will treat them well. I can also make it clear to you that I will not leave Qingyang. I can work in Qingyang for another seven or eight years. During this time, I can definitely take good care of you. "
After he said this, a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In fact, even if he did not show this strange smile, Li Rui could understand the meaning of his last sentence. "If you, Li Rui, listen to me and follow me, I will sincerely take care of you and guide you. But if you don't listen to me and follow Song Chaoyang to the end, then I am sorry, but after he leaves Qingyang, I will 'take care' of you in another way."
The Chinese language was broad and profound. The same word "take care" would have different meanings in different circumstances.
At this moment, Li Rui felt some psychological pressure. He wanted to feign civility with Yu Heping and pretend to go back and think about it. He wanted to leave this troublesome place first. But on second thought, if his attitude today was ambiguous, Yu Heping would come and pester him again. That would be troublesome. Anyway, he was not afraid of his threats, so he might as well be frank with him. He said, "Song Shuji treats people kindly and works diligently. He is my role model and example. As his secretary, I should serve him wholeheartedly. I believe that this is what every secretary should strive to do. Mayor, as a leader, you must want your secretary to be loyal and protect you, right? " At this point, he stood up and said, "Mayor, you should rest early. I won't take up any more of your time. I'll leave first."
Yu Heping saw that not only did Li Rui not accept his threats, but he also turned around and checkmated him. He was furious. He sneered and said, "If that's what you think, then pretend I didn't say anything. But one day, you will see my prophecy come true. "
Li Rui smiled and did not say anything else. He walked out of the room.
"Bang!" The door closed again.
Yu Heping looked at the door with a cold expression. He suddenly raised his hand and slammed the coffee table. He scolded, "Little bastard, you really don't want face when I give it to you!"
He stood there angrily for a while. After he calmed down, he sneered and said to himself, "Li Rui, oh Li Rui, you forced me to do this. I gave you a toast, but you didn't want it. Then you can wait to be punished. Hmph!"
Just as he finished speaking, he heard the door open again. A beautiful woman wearing an office lady suit and black leggings walked in quickly with a smile on her face. As soon as she entered the room, she closed the door behind her. She looked coquettishly at Yu Heping who was sitting on the sofa and called out sweetly, "Godfather ~!"
Yu Heping looked up and saw that it was his "goddaughter" Zheng Meili. His gaze swept across her perky chest and slender legs. He waved at her and gestured for her to come over.
Zheng Meili quickly walked in front of him. When she saw him reach out his hands as if he wanted to hug her, she took the initiative to walk into his embrace. She sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck intimately. She said coquettishly, "Godfather, I'm here to keep you company."
Yu Heping nodded happily. His large hands moved around her silky legs. He said, "I'll arrange a task for you." Zheng Meili was surprised and happy. She was not afraid that her godfather would arrange a task for her. If he arranged a task for her, it meant that she was useful. He was putting her in an important position. If she completed the task, it would be a great achievement and she would be rewarded. She was only afraid that he would not arrange a task for her. If he did, it would mean that he had neglected or even abandoned her. Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Godfather, please tell me. I promise to complete it quickly and well." Yu Heping nodded and said, "Let me ask you, are you familiar with Li Rui?" Zheng Meili was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm not familiar with him. I see him almost every day, but we don't have any friendship. I just saw him just now."
