The clouds of rebirth rise straight up

The night in the town is extremely peaceful.

Because the people who usually walk around are people from nearby rural areas.

Farmers don't have that much energy to live overnight, so they usually have to get up very early to do things and work.

So I went to bed very early.

Inside a house, the lights are brightly lit.

Wang Haodong was in this family's home, and a middle-aged man was sitting opposite him.

His temperament is not like that of an ordinary town official, and he is obviously much calmer than someone like Xiao Guozhang.

This person is Liu Zhijun, secretary of the town committee.

At that time, he participated in the competition for the executive deputy county magistrate of Yuanshui County.

just failed.

If you fail, you will suffer the consequences of the loser.

He is over 50 years old. At this age, he was kicked back to the township by someone, even though he is still a regular student.

But in fact, many people know that he will probably only have this one-third of an acre in his life.

It is precisely because of this that Xiao Zhangguo and the others all know why he was transferred from the county, so he does not exist at all on weekdays.

Wang Haodong and him had been talking for more than half an hour.

When he first faced Wang Haodong's arrival, he was quite surprised.

In the next half month, he was even more shocked by Wang Haodong's words, and he was so shocked that he didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, he said: "Captain Wang, people like you are extremely rare in the officialdom for so many years."

"What should I say?" Wang Haodong looked at him with a smile.

Liu Zhijun smiled: "It's so clean."

"Is that good or bad?"

"Can I tell you straight?"

"of course."

Liu Zhijun said seriously: "There are only two results."

"First, after being hit in the end, slowly recognize the reality, and then drift with the tide, merge into the sea, and be ordinary."

"What about the second?"

"Secondly, a drop of dew, although clean and pure, will soon evaporate."

Wang Haodong suddenly burst out laughing when he heard this: "What if I say, I can't achieve either result?"

"Does Secretary Liu believe it?"

This long laugh caused Liu Zhijun to suddenly fall into silence.

He looked at Wang Haodong quietly for a long time.

young.

But he has a temperament that has been in official circles for a long time, which is invisible, completely invisible.

I have never seen such a young man.

Suddenly, I understood why this person became the director at such a young age. As a trainee police officer, he turned Nanjiang officialdom upside down.

After half a day, he said solemnly: "Back to the issue we just discussed."

"You have to know that officialdom has always been a carrot with mud."

"If you wipe out Xiao Zhangguo's group and leave no one behind, someone in the county will definitely come forward."

"What you will face then are some people from the county."

Wang Haodong shook his head: "Secretary Liu, I know a little bit about what happened when you were in the county. Do you know why you failed?"

"Why?" Liu Zhijun doesn't like people mentioning some of his past things. It's his heartache.

However, Wang Haodong didn't care at all and said directly: "You are an upright official and have a breeze on your sleeves. Everyone knows this."

"You failed not because your political achievements were not enough, but because your methods were not ruthless enough."

"Those who rely on us are not corrupt officials who have some ruthless means. Honest officials also need it."

"Otherwise, how can you fight against these people? How can you realize your political ideals?"

Wang Haodong's words made Liu Zhijun freeze on the spot.

The ideal that had become dull in my heart was suddenly ignited again.

He has been demoted here for so many years. You say he has never thought about the reason for his failure. Is it possible?

That is absolutely impossible.

As Wang Haodong said, when he gained a certain advantage in the competition, he let his opponent go because he was temporarily soft-hearted.

In the end, his opponent breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly turned over, until he finally failed.

If he had continued to fight back then, his opponents would never have been able to confront him, and it is impossible for him to make no progress in his studies now.

Holding the cup and taking a sip, my mood became a little unstable.

Drinking sip after sip.

Time passed little by little.

It wasn't until three or four minutes later that he looked up at Wang Haodong.

"How sure are you?"

"hundred percent."

"So confident? There won't be any mistakes?"

"No, have you ever seen someone kill a chicken with a sledgehammer and something went wrong in the end?"

"A great talent? Director Wang, do you really have a strong background as others have said? Where is this great talent?"

"Nanjiang City? Prefectural and Municipal Bureau?"

Wang Haodong laughed loudly: "Sorry, I can't say this. I came to you today just because I need an attitude from you."

"Do you support me?"

Liu Zhijun was already demoted to the town, and he knew that his opponents did not trust him at all.

Moreover, Xiao Zhangguo has been keeping an eye on him, and Xiao Zhangguo has long ignored him in the town government.

If Xiao Zhangguo and the others are defeated and win, he will usher in a new career.

Because Xiao Zhangguo involved his former opponent.

Then he will most likely return to the county soon.

If he loses, he will be devalued for the second time.

Maybe even the town committee secretary can’t be saved.

Maybe they'll get caught in it.

The struggle for power is the most ferocious struggle in the world, and it is no different from walking forward on the edge of a cliff.

The room fell silent again.

Wang Haodong saw that he remained silent.

Finally he smiled and said: "The visit here was a bit abrupt. Secretary Liu couldn't make a decision at once, which is normal."

"It doesn't matter. I have time to wait for Secretary Liu's reply. It's getting late, so I won't disturb Secretary Liu's rest. Good night."

After speaking, Wang Haodong stood up directly.

Liu Zhijun was still in his own thoughts, motionless.

His wife, who was standing by, saw that he was motionless and quickly came over to see Wang Haodong off.

After sending Wang Haodong away.

His wife came over very puzzled: "What is the background of this new director?"

"There is a big difference between him and the people who come to see you on weekdays."

Liu Zhijun raised his head: "How do you say it?"

His wife smiled: "Everyone who comes to see you at home usually flatters you. This was the case when we were in the county, and it is the same now in the town."

"After following you for decades, I have never seen anyone who can speak normally in front of you."

"But he didn't. He was neither humble nor silent, which is very good."

Liu Zhijun smiled bitterly: "I've seen so many people who flatter me, but suddenly I met someone who doesn't flatter me. Are you still a little uncomfortable with it?"

His wife smiled bitterly: "That's not what I meant. It's that kind of person who doesn't want to rely on flattery to climb up. It's so rare."

Liu Zhijun looked at his wife and continued to smile bitterly: "Don't let him flatter me. If I really want to be serious, I'm afraid the person who flatters me should be me."
