Congratulations indeed.

Ji Yuanhai listened to the iron tone on the other end of the phone, but couldn't make out any other meaning.

I simply didn't think too much about it and took his congratulations as sincere, saying politely, "Thank you very much, Secretary Tieran, for calling to congratulate me."

"I was lucky enough to have made some achievements and the organization was willing to employ me. But I was actually very nervous and terrified, fearing that I would make a mistake in my current position."

Tieran on the other end of the line held the phone tightly with an expressionless face.

You were lucky, so what am I?

Is it considered a deliberate plan that backfired?

Although these were just polite words from Ji Yuanhai, every word was so harsh in Tieran's ears.

It seems like every sentence contains something implicit and mocks something.

Tieran was very sure that he was overthinking it, but he still couldn't take it lightly. He couldn't remember how many years it had been since he had congratulated another person who was ahead with such a loser's attitude.

Usually, he is the one who is ahead.

"Secretary Ji, that's too polite. The fact that you are able to take on such a position is a reflection of your own abilities. The fact that the organization lets you take on such a responsibility is also a sign of confidence in your abilities."

Tieran said.

Ji Yuanhai couldn’t say either—Yes, that’s right, my ability is so powerful.

So I have to be humble: "I still need to learn a lot from Secretary Tieran..."

What should I learn? How I, as the secretary of Ninghe County, was overshadowed and taken away from you, the executive deputy mayor of a poor county?

Tieran gritted his teeth to prevent himself from blurting out these words.

After congratulating Ji Yuanhai again, Tie Ran pretended to hang up the phone: "Secretary Ji, you have just been promoted. I am sure you are very busy. I will not disturb you any further..."

"Okay, Secretary Tieran, if you have any work-related problems, I still need your advice." Ji Yuanhai also thought that Tieran was about to hang up the phone, so he said.

Unexpectedly, after Tieran finished saying this, he actually changed the subject: "By the way, there is one more thing, Secretary Ji, you know Feng Xue, right?"

"Oh, that's my classmate from college." Ji Yuanhai replied, thinking about the intention of Tieran's words.

Is this to draw a line for me so that I can distinguish clearly?

As if to verify Ji Yuanhai's thoughts, Tie Ran then asked: "So what do you think of the Feng family where Feng Xue is?"

When Ji Yuanhai heard this question, what came to his mind was Meng Qi's attitude last night.

Why jump from one thing to another?

The main reason is that when Tieran asked this, it actually implies a question of status - you are at the same level and in the same position, so why do you ask Ji Yuanhai this, and why does Ji Hai answer you?

Tieran thought that since he called Ji Yuanhai, he should not ignore him or just give him a perfunctory answer. He should always give him an answer.

As long as he had this answer, he could call the Feng family, contact each other, and then make a decision.

At this moment, Ji Yuanhai was thinking: Uncle Meng has already made a decision. If you try to change your mind, it would be disrespectful to Uncle Meng. Do you want to take another path without the consent of Heshan Province?

In that case, there is no need for me to answer you.

There is no distinction between high and low among us, and there is no hierarchical relationship between us. You are not qualified to ask me about my personal social relationships.

Therefore, after a brief pause, Ji Yuanhai, who had already thought it through, gave his answer: "Secretary Tieran, due to my personal relationship, it is not convenient for me to answer too many questions with you."

"It's late, you should go to bed early."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

In Ninghe County, Tieran's residence, he was stunned at first as he held the phone.

Then his arm shook violently and he threw the phone aside: "He dares!"

How dare he hang up on me like this? How dare he treat me like this!

You just rely on a bit of luck and some achievements to dare to treat me like this!

Tieran sat on the sofa, his chest heaving violently.

This was the first time he was treated like this since he left the capital!

Epoch Sea, what a beautiful Epoch Sea!

If you could retreat when you see difficulties and make concessions actively, I would still look upon you with a higher regard and it is not impossible for me to make use of you in the future; but you actually rely on your luck and achievements to be so arrogant!

If I don't deal with you -

Thinking of this, Tieran picked up the phone that had fallen aside and called home.

After the call was connected, he couldn't wait to tell the person on the other end about Ji Yuanhai's "rampant behavior".

A sigh came from the other end of the phone: "Your temper hasn't changed after all."

"Didn't I tell you not to rush? Why are you rushing? Besides, there's no need for people to tell you about anything. You've already offended someone, and you're still complaining about them hanging up the phone?"

"But I..." Tieran said subconsciously.

"Yes, your name is Tieran. Ji Yuanhai was originally just Feng Xue's follower, but now he may be related to the Feng family." The person on the other end of the phone said, "So you think that you and Feng Bing are brothers, and you call someone under the Feng family. The other party should know what is good for him, right?"

Tieran said nothing.

The person on the other end of the phone continued, "Not only that, you still can't bear to let go."

"You know very well that Ji Yuanhai's promotion was mainly due to his solid achievements, followed by the province's support, and finally the uncertainty of whether the Feng family would contribute. Judging from his academic record alone, he is better than you."

"Even so, you still couldn't bear it, and you still made the call."

Tieran lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "I think, if he is a smart person..."

"Hey, if you keep thinking like this, then you should come back." The person on the other end of the phone said, "When hundreds of boats are competing, whoever has the ability will be in the front. No matter if they are lucky or really have the ability, they can get ahead by walking in the front."

"Why are you so dissatisfied and unwilling?"

"I know you're thinking of upgrading your grade or making an exception this year or next year, but you can't stop others from taking the lead just because of this idea."

"You still have a lot to do. Don't dwell on others all the time, and don't be petty and keep thinking about this and that. Looking at the long-term future, can Ji Yuanhai really be compared with you?"

Listening to the teachings of the elders at home, Tieran was silent for a long time, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm sorry, Dad, I was wrong."

"Well, it's good that you know your mistakes. Correct them and stop being so anxious." Tie Ran's father said on the other end of the phone, and then snorted softly, "Ji Yuanhai, hanging up on my son is a bit interesting."
