Lao Bai's overreaction made Chen Bo dumbfounded, so he simply sent him back to the prison cell.
"Are you really not sent by them to test me?" On the way, Lao Bai turned around and asked.
"You are thinking too much. You are already locked up here. Even if there is something big, it is a matter of the past. It is over. What does it have to do with me? What is the use of me testing you? It is your business. The coffin has been sealed." Chen Bo said nonchalantly.
"Okay, we haven't finished the tea yet. Let's go back and drink some more. I didn't drink enough." Lao Bai stopped and had no choice but to go back to drink tea.
This is why Chen Bo is easy to talk to, and he also knows that if Chen Bo leaves this time, it will be difficult for him to see him again, and he may not be able to drink this good tea for a while.
In the past, Chen Bo also knew that he had been dismissed from the position of First Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, so he took special care of him. He did not scold him like others and took care of him when he could. After all, he was old.
Lao Bai has been in the system all his life, so he is very proficient in observing people's actions. Not to mention his ability to flatter Chen Bo in the officialdom. Anyway, every time he meets Chen Bo, Chen Bo is very useful. He was so flattered by his praise.
Although every time I leave, I feel that I have been tricked by this old man, but I will fall into the trap of his words and atmosphere next time.
After several times, Chen Bo felt that this person was a master at creating an atmosphere in an environment with strangers. Not only Chen Bo, but also many people in his prison cell took good care of him because this person controlled people's emotions. Traces always appear inadvertently.
"Did you just say you went to the Nangang City Finance Bureau?" Lao Bai asked.
"Yes, my cousin Ye Yushan is the director of finance. It might be easier for me to go to his unit." Chen Bo said.
Lao Bai shook his head and said: "The Finance Bureau is very important, but if you want to climb up, don't stay in the Finance Bureau. It's too closed. The two most busy offices of the government are the two offices and the Finance Bureau, but the Finance Bureau is just a leader. A money bag is not a money-making machine. As time goes by, you will know that if you have the opportunity, you should go to other units. Going to the two offices is busy, but there are many opportunities. No matter how good you are in the Finance Bureau, you will be a big leader. It’s invisible.”
Chen Bo smiled and said, "I have no choice now. I can only listen to my cousin's arrangements."
"That's right. When you can't help yourself, you can only wait. When you get your opportunity, seize it without hesitation and follow the steps of the leader of the unit. Half of your attention is on work, and the other half is even Most of it must be focused on the big leaders, otherwise, you won’t be able to seize the opportunity." Lao Bai said.
For the sake of good tea, and of course because Chen Bo had taken care of him for so long, Lao Bai told an outsider about his own experience for the first time, which amazed Chen Bo.
Lao Bai, his name is Bai Yongnian.
When he was still working as the deputy county magistrate, one day he learned that the father of the municipal party committee secretary had passed away.
He wanted to express his condolences, after all, this was also an opportunity.
But when he asked the county magistrate, the county magistrate said he didn't know about it and actually didn't want to take him there. He also told him that those who went to express condolences were all top leaders of the unit.
But Bai Yongnian didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. After all, people in the leader's family didn't die every day, so Bai Yongnian borrowed a car and drove more than a hundred kilometers there.
After he went there, just as he had expected before coming, the people who came to express condolences were all top leaders from the county and city bureaus, and he was the one with the lowest position among them.
After bowing, these top leaders were arranged to have tea and rest in a nearby courtyard. Bai Yongnian felt embarrassed to sit in because the county magistrate he had inquired about was also sitting inside.
After expressing his condolences, he shook hands with the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, said a word of condolences, and that was it. He stood at the gate, looking at the rows of wreaths at the door, and the only one who wrote the elegiac couplet according to the gift list was an old man, who ran over The person who ran to help the old man was the secretary of the municipal party committee secretary.
At that time, the municipal party committee secretary only had some impression of Bai Yongnian, but not a deep impression. After all, there were so many deputy county magistrates in a prefecture-level city. He had just been promoted and had only met the municipal party committee secretary once.
He shamelessly went to help the secretary's secretary put elegiac couplets on the wreath. The secretary's secretary said that he was a guest and did not need to do such work. Bai Yongnian said that there were many people here and the secretary must be very tired these days, so he advised the secretary to stay. It's better to have a secretary by your side. He can definitely do the repetitive work of posting elegiac couplets well.
The secretary heard the same thing, so he handed over the task of posting elegiac couplets to Bai Yongnian.
Because there were so many people coming, Bai Yongnian posted elegiac couplets like this for a day. Those regular employees who came to express their condolences left after finishing their condolences, but Bai Yongnian did not leave. He posted elegiac couplets on the first day and was busy with other tasks the next day. Bai Yongnian did not say goodbye to the secretary until he finished his busy work at the secretary's house.
In the past three days, Bai Yongnian was busy at the funeral site, and the secretary noticed it, but Bai Yongnian never said hello to the secretary once.
He just lowered his head and did his own thing. Before leaving, the secretary shook hands with him and said, thank you for your hard work. The past three days have been extremely busy, but Bai Yongnian only said one sentence: Secretary, you have nothing to do at home, and you are the one who has the hardest time. , you should have a good rest.
After saying this, he left without making any requests. However, according to Bai Yongnian, he could clearly feel that since the affair at the secretary's house, his rise had obviously accelerated. He was already a clerk. A serious and down-to-earth person, but when there is an opportunity to appear in the eyes of the leader, it is different.
They all carry one head on two shoulders. In the current system, who can be much worse than the other? What is the difference? Isn't it just the opportunity that appears in the eyes of the leader?
Chen Bo felt that Lao Bai was right, so he didn't leave the next day and talked with Lao Bai all night. During this period, Lu Hanyan called him, but he couldn't get through.
Until his procedures were completed, on the way back, he received a call from Zu Wenjun.
"Sister-in-law, I've finished the formalities and will go back now," Chen Bo said.
"Come back. I've asked the obstetrics and gynecology department. The paternity test done by that little bitch came out, and it completely matches the specimen she provided. Do you think this is unexpected?" Zu Wenjun couldn't hide his excitement in his words. .
"What do you mean?" Chen Bo was stunned and asked.
"In other words, the child in Lu Hanyan's belly is not your brother's. This is good news for you. You can talk about it when you come back. I don't think we can let it go this time. It's best to do something. Otherwise, such a good opportunity It’s a waste.” Zu Wenjun said on the phone.
Chen Bo was stunned for a moment. At this time, Lu Hanyan's call also came in.
