Chen Bo was driving in the front and Bai Yongnian was sitting in the back seat. They were going to the provincial capital tonight. This was an arrangement that he had been urging for a long time.
Originally, Chen Bo was very tired after returning from Yukang County, but Bai Yongnian was very anxious and said that he had already made an appointment with his friends and it would be bad if he failed to make the appointment.
Bai Yongnian did make an appointment, but it was not made before. Instead, he called his friend in the provincial capital after Lu Hanyan met him.
Chen Bo didn't know this. Chen Xiaoyan originally wanted to tell her brother after Lu Hanyan met Bai Yongnian, but he didn't expect that after Lu Hanyan left, Bai Yongnian also told Chen Xiaoyan not to tell Chen Bo about this, and said it was for his own good. .
Naturally, Chen Xiaoyan would not believe what they said. Bai Yongnian broke down the risks of this matter and told her that Chen Bo didn't know. If they were investigated in the future, Chen Bo wouldn't know anything because he really didn't know. But if Chen Xiaoyan said , then the nature is different.
"Am I not suitable for showing up to these friends of yours?" Chen Bo asked.
"Nonsense, why did I call you if you don't come forward? I just want to introduce them to you. These people got to their current position through my relationship before. Later Xiang Xingguo fled, but I didn't introduce them to you. Explain that they owe me, otherwise, these people may not be able to stay in their current position." Bai Yongnian said.
Chen Bo understood that this was Bai Yongnian's so-called circle, but after so many years, could these people still be as grateful as he said?
"Then what should I say?" Chen Bo asked.
"No need to say anything, just say hello." Bai Yongnian said.
Then, Bai Yongnian talked about some of the issues involved.
This time Bai Yongnian took him to meet these people just to get familiar with each other. He didn't know how many years he could live. All he could do was introduce his relationships to Chen Bo. How to maintain them later still needed Chen Bo executed it himself.
However, as long as he is alive and maintaining these relationships, Chen Bo can feel more relaxed. In the final analysis, you must have that ability.
Compared with these people, Chen Bo is just a junior. What he needs is to show his character and ability and gain the recognition of the other party, rather than rely on Bai Yongnian's relationship to immediately find a position for himself, how much benefit he can get, and officialdom. That's not how things work.
If Chen Bo wasn't that material, people might push him for Bai Yongnian's sake, but they would never really use force.
People like County Magistrate Li, the person behind him who is fueling the flames, probably feel regret in his heart. If you push a person with no talent and no virtue into an inappropriate position, all he can bring to you is It can be a disaster, and this principle applies to any interpersonal relationship.
"They will give me face while I'm alive, but you have to work hard yourself. What have you been busy with recently?" Bai Yongnian asked.
"The Discipline Inspection Commission and the municipal government are working together to carry out some integrity inspection work. Some of the work is related to the enterprise. My main task is to coordinate the enterprise." Chen Bo did not tell the truth, but gave a general idea, but changed his words, What Xie Yuanchun and the others did was neither legal nor compliant and must not be leaked out casually.
Chen Bo wasn't sure what Bai Yongnian knew, but he was certain that he definitely didn't know what he was doing now, and even if he knew, it wouldn't be in such detail.
But there is something in Bai Yongnian's words. He talked a lot, but to sum it up in one sentence, if you often walk by the river, you will never get your shoes wet. Wet shoes are not a big problem, as long as you don't plant fatal thunder for yourself. , so that your wet-shoe leader can help you at critical moments. You can take a gamble on wet-shoes.
But if you can't trust your current leader and you still do the wet-shoe work for him, then you have to be careful. Such people will often cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey. Even if there is any trouble, the donkey will still pull the mill. Then he was thrown under the millstone and crushed.
Bai Yongnian also talked about the person Chen Bo is most familiar with, that is Ye Yushan, who is Chen Bo's cousin. Using this person as an example may be able to impress Chen Bo more. Taking others as examples, Chen Bo may not be able to Really caring.
"Old Bai, do you mean that Mayor Xie is unreliable?" Chen Bo asked.
"I don't know. I have never been in contact with this person, let alone worked with him. When Luo Yang was here, he told me a few times, but most of them were just Pang Guoan's dissatisfaction with this person. Okay, the rest is up to you." Bai Yongnian said.
Chen Bo nodded and said nothing.
He could tell that Bai Yongnian said these words because he wanted to know what Chen Bo was doing, but Chen Bo didn't say anything.
According to the navigation, they did not enter the provincial capital, but stopped on the outskirts of the provincial capital. This was a mountain villa with beautiful scenery, but unfortunately it was night and it was pitch black and nothing could be seen. From the main road to the entrance of the villa, there are colorful lanterns hanging as guides. The map shows that there is a large lake not far away. Maybe tomorrow morning we can see the true appearance of the surroundings.
When the car drove into the yard, someone was already greeting him at the gate. When Chen Bo parked the car, there were already more than ten people standing on the steps, and many people were walking quickly from the room.
Chen Bo looked back at Bai Yongnian, who was looking outside through the glass.
"Are these people waiting for you?" Chen Bo asked.
"Get out of the car." Bai Yongnian seemed to have regained his former domineering attitude at this time. The aloof official aura returned to him. The crutch in his hand was the first to touch the ground. People on the steps saw him getting out of the car. It was him who had already rushed down to help him.
However, Chen Bo, the driver, lost his seat and was pushed aside by these people.
Chen Bo didn't argue with this, but he was really surprised. Bai Yongnian had been there for ten years. In the more than three years that he had known Bai Yongnian, he had never seen these people go to see him, but today he When they arrived in the provincial capital, these people seemed so enthusiastic, which was really beyond his expectation.
He parked the car, and there was still a person standing there on the steps, wondering if he was waiting for him.
Chen Bo knew that Bai Yongnian had just entered, and he and these friends wanted to catch up on old times. He didn't know whether it was appropriate or not to say a word to each other, and it would be half an hour later. They hadn't seen each other for so many years, so they had to chat for a while. , he didn’t want to join in the fun, so he lit a cigarette and walked over slowly.
"Chen Bo, you are Chen Bo, right?" The person on the steps came down and greeted him with a smile.
