After Zhang Yuanqing finished speaking, He Shengtan still did not nod. Instead, he thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing stood up and left. He knew he had to give He Shengtan some time to think and let him believe in himself.
"I will formulate a very detailed information and send it to your desk tomorrow."
Even after leaving, Zhang Yuanqing still did not give up lobbying the other party.
He Shengtan sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette silently. After Zhang Yuanqing left, he showed an expression that was half-smiling, and then a little lonely.
"I'm old! I dug out a den for the wolf cubs."
In the empty dormitory, he talked to himself.
…
After Zhang Yuanqing returned, he opened "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and read it for a while. When I was dreaming, I also dreamed that Zhao Chengyan was telling me historical allusions.
When I woke up the next day, I quickly changed into a pair of underwear.
I sent a message to Yang Xu to express some of my thoughts.
This time he went to the provincial capital, even if he passed through Jiangbei, he didn't go home. Probably because the New Year was approaching, he felt a little homesick. I miss my parents in my hometown, the people and things in Jiangbei, and my younger brother who has not contacted me until now.
After washing up, Zhang Yuanqing ran outside the dormitory for a run. Only in this way can you vent your excess energy.
But while running, Zhang Yuanqing saw He Shengtan.
"Secretary He." Zhang Yuanqing moved closer like a dog.
He Shengtan just nodded and continued walking. So I saw two people, one running and the other walking, going in the same direction.
It's just that Zhang Yuanqing ran fast and quickly made a circle and surpassed He Shengtan.
After Zhang Yuanqing vented all his energy, he went back to wipe himself, put on his clothes and went downstairs.
Just as Zhang Yuanqing was going downstairs, he found He Shengtan walking around and met him.
"Secretary He."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded and then prepared to leave.
"Let's have breakfast together."
Zhang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that it was He Shengtan who was speaking.
"Okay, Secretary He, let me treat you." Zhang Yuanqing slowed down and followed him.
So many people were stunned to see this scene. Two people who were incompatible with each other the day before were actually walking side by side.
There is a breakfast shop in front of the town government, but it is still early and not many people come to have breakfast. The first and second leaders appeared at the same time, and everyone else stepped aside, leaving a vacuum for the two of them.
He Shengtan ordered a bowl of porridge, two fried dough sticks, and two meat buns. At his age, he could eat such greasy food, which showed that his physical condition was quite good.
Zhang Yuanqing ordered eight pot sticker dumplings, a drawer of steamed dumplings and a bowl of spicy soup.
After the food was served, Zhang Yuanqing started to eat. He eats pictures like a wolf and doesn't have the baggage of being a leader.
Seeing how delicious it was, He Shengtan started eating slowly.
"Life is still easy now. When I was a few years old, my family often didn't have enough to eat. When I was a teenager, I still have memories of hunger."
He Shengtan slowly talked about his past affairs, and Zhang Yuanqing slowed down his eating pace and listened to him.
"I came back to the town after I was discharged from the army. At that time, reform and opening up was already underway, and people were emancipating their minds everywhere. When I was young, I had a leader who especially emancipated his mind and said he wanted to help everyone get rid of poverty and become rich, so he established township enterprises. Townships and towns. After the business started, he was greedy for a lot of money, and I never saw him again.
When I became the deputy mayor, a young town party secretary came and talked to me all night, saying that he wanted to develop specialty agriculture. Later, I got fruit seedlings outside and planted cash crops on a large area. However, there was a problem with the sales. The so-called cash plants rotted in the ground. At that time, the mayor took the blame. As the top leader, this guy was transferred to another place and did well. It is said that he was also an expert in the economic field..."
When talking about these people, He Shengtan's eyes showed undisguised disgust.
"In the 'labor period' of the 1990s, a new town party secretary came. He also told us that we should emancipate our minds. He encouraged the development of township enterprises, but sold all collective assets at a low price. After working for five years, this guy went abroad. It is said that The family has already lived a high-class capitalist life, but after investigation, they found out that they were naked officials.
When I became the secretary of the town committee, my mayor also told me about development and revitalization. I tried to open a quarry, but blind mining led to landslides. I took the young and strong labor force in the town and it took nearly three years to repair it..."
When He Shengtan said this, he looked at Zhang Yuanqing: "Young man, it's not that I don't trust you. Like many people in this land, I am afraid of being deceived. Do you know that many people have prayed? It would be a blessing if I could do some practical things for them and save the officials from causing trouble.
It's not that I didn't have the opportunity to go to the county. I served as the top leader of three towns. During this period, the Organization Department of the county party committee talked to me many times and even gave me the treatment of a deputy director. I have never left because I grew up in this land. I know that I am just like the black pigs and native chickens here. I am fattened by the people, and sooner or later I have to give it back to the people. Do you understand? "
Zhang Yuanqing stopped moving and sighed for a long time. The old secretary's stubbornness may not be unreasonable.
After He Shengtan finished his porridge, he took out cigarettes, lit one himself, and gave one to Zhang Yuanqing.
Zhang Yuanqing took the cigarette and lit it. He took a deep breath and said: "Secretary He, I do not have your consciousness, but I am also the son of a farmer. I grew up in the countryside. Who has not thought about doing something in the system?" Start a career. Now you have an opportunity to cross the river by feeling for the stones. The river is fast, but you have to find a way to cross it."
He Shengtan said: "I'm old, I only have two years left."
There was both helplessness and some unspeakable sadness in these words.
Zhang Yuanqing said firmly: "Secretary He, I dare to issue a military order!"
He Shengtan looked up at him with sharp eyes: "Young man, there is no such thing as joking in the army!"
"If I can't do it, I will resign from all positions in the organization. Let's create a document and I will sign and stamp it. The document is for you. If I really can't do it, you should make it public and let everyone see my ugly face."
Zhang Yuanqing's firm eyes were fixed on He Shengtan.
He wanted to bet his future reputation on the old secretary's nod.
After finishing his cigarette, Zhang Yuanqing immersed himself in finishing the uneaten food.
"Oh, it's great to be young." He Shengtan said and stood up slowly, "You eat slowly, I'll wait for you in the office."
He Shengtan lost a word and turned back to the town government. His back was a little lonely. Watching him walk towards the courtyard, he looked like the back of a drama actor after his curtain call.
A good show must eventually come to an end. Because this play does not end, then there is no way for another play to take place.
Talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years. This is a historical law that cannot be countered by human power.
Zhang Yuanqing had no joy, only a mountain of pressure.
