When Song Lihai knocked on the door of He Weishan's house with fruits, he was the one who opened the door.
Seeing Song Lihai carrying so many fruits, He Weishan was stunned at the door and forgot to invite Song Lihai into the house for a long time.
"Hello Secretary-General." Song Lihai was a little embarrassed, but he took the initiative to say hello.
"Xiao Song is here, Xiao Song is here, please come in, please come in, you have brought so much fruit, look at you, this..." After He Weishan came to his senses, he warmly invited Song Lihai into the house.
After Song Lihai entered the room, he put on his slippers and followed He Weishan towards the sofa.
"Please sit down, please sit down." He Weishan was so enthusiastic, as if Song Lihai was a big leader.
This kind of enthusiasm made Song Lihai feel unspeakably sad.
How long has it been since then? The secretary-general who was unattainable in Song Lihai's eyes is now going to great lengths to please his little secretary.
"Secretary-General, you are too polite. Sit down, sit down." Song Lihai helped He Weishan sit down.
As soon as he sat down, He Weishan remembered something and got up again and walked towards the freezer.
"Xiao Song, let me make you some green tea from the side of Puzhao Temple. It only grows a few pounds in a year. It is pure wild tea. The abbot of the temple made it personally."
"Even if you have money, you can't buy this tea. The rich people in Yinhai queue up eagerly every year to wait for the host's tea. I heard that they can get one or two ounces of tea, so they all have to make it good. It’s been a while.”
As He Weishan spoke, he took out a bag wrapped several times from the freezer. Obviously, he was not lying. This tea was indeed precious.
Song Lihai was not such a ungrateful person. He quickly stood up and walked to He Weishan and said, "Secretary-General, it would be a pity for me to drink such precious tea. I don't know how to taste tea."
"How about we make some other tea? I'll make it while you sit down."
The more Song Lihai behaves like this, the more He Weishan wants to treat him with this tea.
Song Lihai couldn't hold on anymore and let He Weishan boil water and make tea.
When He Weishan brought the brewed tea to Song Lihai, he was indeed shocked.
At this time, the tea leaves slowly unfolded, and the tea leaves were like a baby that had just woken up, opened its eyes, stretched out its arms, and embraced the new world.
The tea leaves floated in the water like a blooming flower. Song Lihai put the tea cup to his nose and smelled it. A light fragrance was refreshing.
Song Lihai couldn't help but take a sip. After the slight bitterness, there was a sweetness lingering on the tip of his tongue, just like the sweetness after all the bitterness in the years, it was endless aftertaste.
"Good tea, good tea." Song Lihai praised sincerely.
"There are less than two taels left. You can bring it to Mayor Mingshan to try." He Weishan looked at Song Lihai and suddenly said this.
Song Lihai's hand holding the teacup shook. He quickly put down the teacup and opened his mouth, but thousands of words were all stuck in his throat. He couldn't refuse the pleading in He Weishan's eyes.
Song Lihai nodded and once again picked up the tea cup and tasted the tea.
After a while, He Weishan looked at Song Lihai again and asked, "Xiao Song, you didn't come here specifically to visit me, right?"
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
When Song Lihai saw He Weishan asking this question, he had no choice but to briefly explain what Qin Mingshan had told him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Lihai picked up the teacup and drank tea. He really didn't know how to face He Weishan.
He Weishan is not Yu Zhigang, but a benefactor who gave Song Lihai a lot of help.
"Is it Mayor Mingshan who asked you to tell me this?" He Weishan looked at Song Lihai and asked after a brief silence.
Song Lihai didn't speak, but nodded.
"Xiao Song, go back and tell Mayor Mingshan that I am standing by Mayor Haitao."
"First of all, Mayor Haitao has basically had the final say over the past few years in the government's mouth."
"Secondly, Mayor Haitao and I come from the same place. We are alumni. This relationship is not something that ordinary people can compare with."
"But I didn't know anything about Mayor Haitao's departure from Yinhai City yesterday."
"I don't need to lie to you, nor do I need to lie to Mayor Mingshan." When He Weishan said these words, his tired face was full of helplessness.
It seems that Wen Xianghai is telling the truth. He Weishan has hit a big snag with Yu Guosheng.
Song Lihai became more and more sad, and couldn't help but look at He Weishan like this and asked, "Secretary-General, what are you going to do next?"
"Xiao Song, thank you for coming to visit me."
"In the past few days, my cell phone has not rang once, as if I don't exist."
"I'm very disheartened now. I can go wherever the organization arranges for me to go, as long as I'm not allowed to leave Yinhai City."
"My parents are both sick, and my wife is also a long-term user of traditional Chinese medicine."
"I am the only son among my parents. My sister is in another place, and my sister is older and younger. Can I leave Yinhai?"
"Besides, I'm in my fifties, so I can be a county secretary or county magistrate. Can I do it?"
"I'm not a top-notch person. I know how much I weigh."
"I originally wanted to find Secretary Yu and ask me to go to the CPPCC or the National People's Congress, but he didn't see me."
"Once Haitao leaves, Secretary Yu will never see me again."
"Xiao Song, I don't have any bad intentions towards you. I have never sided with Mayor Qin, nor have I ever harmed him."
"Mayor Qin doesn't need me. Can you tell Secretary Yu and ask me to go to the National People's Congress or the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference?"
He Weishan once again asked Song Lihai to help him. Only then did Song Lihai realize that He Weishan was carrying such a heavy burden.
His wife has been taking medicine for a long time, and He Weishan cannot do anything like plowing and harrowing at home. No wonder he recruits prostitutes in the provincial capital.
Song Lihai suddenly sympathized with He Weishan even more. He picked up the tea he gave to Qin Mingshan from the table, looked at He Weishan seriously and said: "Secretary-General, I will definitely bring your ideas and requests to the mayor. Don't worry, as long as there is If you have the chance, I will definitely help you intercede in front of the mayor."
He Weishan burst into tears when he heard Song Lihai's words.
Only He Weishan knew how much hardship he had to endure as he worked his way up to the position of secretary-general in Yinhai City. He never expected that he would end up like this when there was no hope of further progress.
Song Lihai was even more sad. He took out a few tissues from the table and handed them to He Weishan. When he was about to comfort him a few more words, his cell phone rang.
Song Lihai saw that it was Geng Naijia's call and glanced at He Weishan.
He Weishan was the secretary-general after all, so he excused himself to wash his face and walked to the bathroom.
Song Lihai quickly answered the phone, and Geng Naijia's voice came out.
"Old classmate, your and Mayor Mingshan's hunch is right. Lin Haitao is really planning to flee to Hong Kong with his family."
"At present, we have notified the relevant departments to arrest Lin Haitao."
"As long as you know, it's secretly fun. Don't spread the word before it's announced. Hang up." After saying that, Geng Naijia hung up the phone.
