Chapter 120: Bie Qingzhou

At six o'clock the next morning, Wang Siyu left the hotel early. He first took a taxi back home. He turned the taxi to the entrance of the community. Wang Siyu got out of the car and walked all the way to the community. Many memories appeared in his mind. The past of these years surged up, and perhaps he was about to leave Qingzhou City. For this city that had lived for more than ten years, his heart was filled with nostalgia and reluctance.

When I went upstairs, I happened to meet the couple next door going to work. They knew Wang Siyu and greeted him in the corridor. Wang Siyu also smiled and nodded at them. He walked to the door with his head down, lifted up more than a dozen note of urging fees on the door, then turned around, stared at the room opposite, leaned against the door and smoked a cigarette. After a while, he threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, stepped on it with his feet, shook his head with a bitter smile, and turned around to open the door of his own room.

When he pushed open the door, he saw that there was thick dust falling in the room. He felt a little uncomfortable. He hurried into the bathroom, cleaned the room with a mop, and after more than two hours, each room was cleaned up. Wang Siyu walked into my mother's room, took out a large stack of photos from the drawer, put them in a cowhide bag, and carefully stuffed the cowhide bag into the bag, then sat at the head of the bed, thinking quietly about his thoughts.

In fact, a place with family is home. Family members are gone. Here are just boxes full of memories. Wang Siyu suddenly felt that he was like a rootless prodigal son, who only knew where he came from and didn’t know where he went. This feeling made him feel uncomfortable. So after sitting quietly for more than ten minutes, Wang Siyu silently opened the door and walked out.

After cleaning up Zhang Qianying's house in Binhe Community, it was past eight o'clock. After having breakfast in the small shop on the street, Wang Siyu called Du Feng and asked Zhou Songlin if he had time in the morning. He said that he had returned to Qingzhou and thought of the old man to take a look.

Du Feng shook his head on the other side of the phone and said, "Brother Wang, Secretary Zhou will be inspected in another county in the morning and will not be back in the late afternoon."

Wang Siyu hurriedly said, "Then I'll go directly to Building 3 tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Siyu was fine and thought of saying goodbye to acquaintances in Qingzhou. This was not his pretentiousness. After all, this time he went to the provincial party committee to work was a formal appointment, not a job. Maybe he would have to settle his home in Yuzhou in the future. If it were not necessary, there would probably be very few opportunities to return to Qingzhou.

Wang Siyu first visited the committee office to visit his former colleagues, then went to the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, sat in Zou Hai's office for a while, and then went to the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department to visit Minister Liu. He spent the longest stay at Minister Liu's place, not because he was a senior official, but because Wang Siyu wanted to wait for Zhang Qianying to come back and use her connections to transfer her to Yuzhou. In this matter, Minister Liu also needs to cooperate.

It was almost noon, Wang Siyu walked out of Minister Liu's office and slowly went downstairs. As soon as he walked to the street, he received a call from Wei Mingli, acting district mayor of Chengnan District. Wei Laoer made a lot of anger on the phone, which made Wang Siyu feel a little puzzled. While holding his cell phone, he suddenly heard a few harsh sounds of car horns coming from behind. Wang Siyu turned around and looked at him. Seeing a brand new Audi car parked on the side of the road, Wei Laoer was poking his head out of the car window and grinning at him.

Wang Siyu walked over with a smile, and the driver hurriedly got out of the car and opened the door. After Wang Siyu got into the car, he heard Wei Laoer continue to complain: "Okay, County Magistrate Wang, I won't tell me if I go back to Qingzhou. You still look down on me, a rude guy."

Wang Siyu shook his head and said, "Aren't you afraid that you, the chief of the district, will not have time?"

When Wei Mingli heard this, he suddenly lost his energy. He sighed with a bitter face and drooped his head and sighed, "Which pot is not open to pick up any pot? I'm not busy at all now. I'm so idle. Let's find a place to sit and chat while drinking."

Wang Siyu nodded. To be honest, he still admired Wei Laoer more. In his opinion, this person is not bad, but he has a bad temper. Fortunately, he has a tantrum and does not have so many tricks. Instead, he should be careful when dealing with Zou Hai. Wang Siyu always feels that Zou Hai is very scheming, far from as superficial as he shows.

The driver drove the car directly to a nearby high-end restaurant. Wang Siyu followed Wei Mingli into the private room. The owner of the restaurant seemed to be very familiar with Wei Laoer. When he heard that he was coming, he hurried over to greet him in person. However, Wei Mingli waved his hand: "Go and go, don't bother me."

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Wang Siyu couldn't help but feel surprised and said, "Old Wei, are you worried?"

Wei Mingli took out the Chinese cigarette, threw it to Wang Siyu, took a lighter to help Wang Siyu lit it, and then lit it himself, sucked for a while, then sighed and said, "It's a mistake to come here. I don't know anything. How can I get the district chief? I really want to go back to Qingyang to be the deputy county magistrate. Is it a good job as the executive? As long as I get involved in agriculture, I will do it."

After hearing this, Wang Siyu laughed for a while, knocked his finger on the table and said, "Old Wei, Old Wei, if I had known this day, why would you have to be the first? But you don't have to know everything. Just use a good person. If it really doesn't work, find a way to transfer Zhang Zhenwu over."

Wei Mingli lowered his head and drank a sip of tea, was silent for a while before shook his head and said, "Can't adjust it."

The two of them had a bit of a dull meal. Wang Siyu was about to see Zhou Songlin in the afternoon, so he didn't drink. Wei Mingli sat there and drank by himself, complaining constantly.

Wang Siyu also learned from Wei Mingli's complaints that his recent situation is indeed very bad. The current district party secretary of Chengnan District is very strong and he is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. He doesn't buy Wei Minglun's account very much. He firmly holds personnel rights. Some time ago, he actually mentioned his former secretary to the position of director of the district government office to remotely control the government's affairs. In addition, Wei Mingli just arrived in Chengnan District, and was at an absolute disadvantage in both business and connections, and could not compete with the secretary at all. He is now living a life of squeezing up and down, which is similar to Zou Hai's condition when he was in Qingyang County. It is both superficial and actually has a lot of bitterness.

Wang Siyu knew that Wei Lao Er was feeling uncomfortable, so he chatted with him without saying a word. It was not until Wei Lao Er had poured him too much that Wang Siyu called the driver and helped him stuff Wei Lao Er into the car.

Seeing the Audi car driving far away, Wang Siyu couldn't help but smile and shook his head. Things in this world were unpredictable. If Wei Mingli could know the current situation in advance, he would probably not have been so fierce when he was in Qingyang. This was really a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

Zhou Songlin didn't return to Qingzhou until the evening. Wang Siyu went directly to the No. 3 courtyard of the Municipal Party Committee. When the nanny Aunt Zhang saw him coming, she was facing a great enemy. After preparing dinner, she brought a chair directly from the living room and sat at the door with a feather duster in her hand. This time she widened her eyes and stared at Wang Siyu fiercely, for fear that this little thief would take advantage of the loophole again, which would make Secretary Zhou unhappy.

Wang Siyu smiled at him and said softly: "Aunt Zhang, it's okay, I promise not to take anything this time."

Aunt Zhang was not willing to believe it, so she snorted with her face and turned her eyes away.

Zhou Songlin looked in a good mood, with a warm smile on his face. He waved his hand and called Wang Siyu to the dining table. Seeing this, Aunt Zhang had to walk into the kitchen reluctantly, took the bowls and chopsticks and put them on the table. Zhou Songlin got up and walked to the wine cabinet, took a bottle of Maotai, held it in his hand and weighed it, and smiled at Wang Siyu, "Drink some white wine bar."

Wang Siyu nodded, walked to the kitchen to get the cup, sat next to Zhou Songlin, poured the wine, drank a little half with him first, and then said, "Old man, drink less."

Zhou Songlin smiled, picked up the cup and took a sip. After putting down the cup, he asked about Wang Siyu's study at the Party School. Wang Siyu briefly explained the situation of listening to the class and some experiences. Zhou Songlin didn't speak, but the smile on his face became stronger.

After picking up a few bites of the dishes, Wang Siyu stood up with a cup and said emotionally: "Secretary Zhou, without your appreciation, I would not be like me today. I would like to give you a cup. If you have a bad stomach, just touch your lips."

Zhou Songlin smiled and stretched out his big hand, patted Wang Siyu's back gently, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoyu, sit down."

Wang Siyu picked up the cup and drank it all, then sat down again.

Zhou Songlin also took a big sip, picked up a steamed crab in Wang Siyu's bowl with chopsticks, then put down the chopsticks, and whispered: "Xiaoyu, I want to thank you even if I say that. Yuanyuan finally went home for a meal, and this is all your credit."

Wang Siyu smiled and said softly: "Actually, she has you in her heart, she is just being angry."

Zhou Songlin put down the chopsticks, held the cup in his hand, shook his head with a wry smile, "I don't expect her to forgive completely. As long as she can come back to see me once a year, I will be satisfied."

After saying that, he raised his glass, raised his neck and drank all the wine in the glass, placed the glass heavily on the dining table, and after coughing twice, he smiled at Wang Siyu and said softly: "Eat vegetables...eat vegetables..."

Seeing that he looked lonely, Wang Siyu hurriedly comforted him: "Old man, don't worry, Teacher Zhou is a reasonable person, she just needs some time now."

Zhou Songlin nodded slightly and said softly: "Yes, how can we forget so easily?"

Wang Siyu wanted to change the topic and didn't know where to start. After pondering for a while, he asked, "Old man, where will Teacher Zhou go to work this time?"

Zhou Songlin smiled and said in a deep voice: "Go to Minjiang City to be the deputy mayor in charge of education."

After hearing this, Wang Siyu said: "It's amazing, old man, it seems that it will take a few years for your family to have a female mayor."

Zhou Songlin knew that Wang Siyu was deliberately making him happy, but he couldn't help but feel proud. He smiled and shook his head and said, "I hope so, Xiaoyu, you should work hard too."

Seeing that the topic was about him, Wang Siyu hurriedly had a meal. The position of the deputy mayor was too far away from him, and it would be difficult to catch up. Wang Siyu only hoped that he could be promoted to the department level a few years earlier. As for the department level, he was not considered at all.

After dinner, Aunt Zhang made tea. Zhou Songlin and Wang Siyu sat on the sofa and chatted for a while. The two played two chess games. Zhou Songlin led Wang Siyu into the study and started teaching him. Wang Siyu sat upright, holding a pen and carefully wrote it on the notebook.

Zhou Songlin talked about some real ways of being an official, many of which were his experience in politics for many years. For example, he repeatedly reminded Wang Siyu to avoid doing things that are innovative, and to do things steadily and carefully consider them; learn to tell necessary lies and empty words at meetings, be able to sing high-profile, be low-key when doing things below, be down-to-earth, never be too arrogant, and be arrogant, be respectful; abide by the unspoken rules in the officialdom, act according to the rules, and do not let yourself be the target of public criticism; find a way to weave your own network of relationships, use this net to catch fish and hunt. Fishing is to make political achievements, and hunting is to attack opponents...

Wang Siyu listened very seriously, afraid of missing a word. Zhou Songlin was very relieved when he saw this. He took a sip of tea and gave Wang Siyu a list of books, which were full of famous biographies. Seeing that there was another book of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Wang Siyu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Do you have to learn conspiracies and tricks?"

Zhou Songlin did not answer his question, but stood up, stretched his waist, turned his body and said, "The road conditions below are not good. I have been bumping for a day. I am a little overwhelmed by my old arms and legs."

Wang Siyu hurriedly closed the book, stood up and said goodbye. Zhou Songlin opened the drawer, took out an exquisite gift box from it, stuffed it into Wang Siyu's hand, and whispered: "Take the small gift I bought from abroad."

Wang Siyu opened the gift box and saw a beautiful mobile phone inside. Wang Siyu hurriedly said thank you, put the gift box into the bag, turned around and walked out.
