Chapter 974: Drinking (continue to ask for monthly tickets!)
On the sofa, Tang Yushan sat there crampedly, sitting upright, like a primary school student who was about to take the exam. Quickly enter this site's "" advertisement
Although she had already plucked up her courage, she was still very nervous when she was actually alone with Lu Rui.
"Drink something?" Lu Rui said to Tang Yushan with a smile.
Tang Yushan was stunned at first, then nodded: "I..."
Shaking his head, Lu Rui smiled and got up and walked towards his wine cabinet.
Tang Yushan stretched out her neck and felt deeply curious. Looking at the man's back, she was a little confused.
"I only have wine. If I drink, Xiuyan forgot to buy it a few days ago." When Lu Rui returned to Tang Yushan, he held half a bottle of champagne and two glasses in his hand, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry for what happened today, so you can see the faces of some people."
As he said that, he turned on the champagne, sat opposite Tang Yushan, poured her a glass, and then poured himself a glass, completely ignoring Tang Yushan's incredible expression.
To be honest, Lu Rui was first surprised by Tang Yushan's sudden arrival, and then a feeling of emotion arose. It takes a lot of courage for a woman to do such a move. As she grows older and experienced, Lu Rui gradually becomes a little indifferent to the matters in love. Just let it go. There is no need to deliberately avoid anything in this position. As long as she doesn't fall, no one will talk about the matters in women to herself. This is the rule in the circle.
Tang Yushan looked at Lu Rui with a look of surprise, unable to understand what this man was crazy about, or did he drink too much today? He actually invited him to enter his house, drink with him, and even smiled at him very kindly. You must know that since the last time he confessed to him and was rejected by Lu Rui, Lu Rui always avoided him intentionally or unintentionally. But now, he was holding a glass of wine and drinking with him.
As time passed, Lu Rui and Tang Yushan had already drunk a lot. Most of the time it was Lu Rui talking, while Tang Yushan listening.
"You, isn't it?" Tang Yushan asked in a low voice with a tentative doubt on Lu Rui.
Lu Rui smiled: "All day of work is already tiring enough. When you return to the office, you have to intrigue with others, read documents, receive subordinates to listen to work reports, encourage them to continue working hard, and give them confidence and support to move forward.
To be honest, I was so tired for myself. In my hometown, I kept spinning like a top every day.”
"Actually, I don't know what's wrong with me. I hate being silly with others recently. Many things are known to be wrong, but I can't handle them. Even if I know what mistakes some people have made, I still have to consider this and that, and cannot deal with them according to my ideas. I suddenly hate myself a little now. I originally thought that I could guarantee my original intention under any circumstances, but now in this situation, I suddenly feel that officials are a very annoying profession."
Most of the bottle of champagne was almost drunk by Lu Rui alone, perhaps because of his mood or relaxation, he gradually became a little drunk.
Looking at Tang Yushan, Lu Rui smiled and said, "People say that officials are a group of people who are above and above, but who knows that we are not as carefree as they imagined? People live in this world and must face all kinds of things, which sometimes force your rational and moral cognition to make choices again and again."
After sighing softly, Tang Yushan picked up the wine glass in front of her and took a sip. A bright red flashed across her pretty face. Her eyes looked at Lu Rui, but she didn't say anything.
"At the beginning of entering this officialdom, I just wanted to give my parents a good life and make my life better. Later, I gradually found that I could change the fate of many people and do something for more people, so I began to work hard and hope that I could sit in a higher position, because only then can I help more people. But as my status grew higher, I found that there were more things that made me helpless. Many things were not just black and white as I imagined at the beginning, and you couldn't judge many things right or wrong. I don't know how long I could last, nor do I know whether I did this right or wrong. In fact, I have been lying to myself for so long, trying to make myself believe and believe that I am right. But in fact, I can't deceive myself, and I did a lot of wrong things."
"Some people in this world are paying attention to me and my every move. Some people hope that I can become a bureaucrat and a bureaucrat like everyone else after the tempering of reality. Some people hope that I can stick to my own appearance and maintain my true nature."
"If I continue to persevere, I don't know who I will become in the end. Am I still me? Or is that Lu Rui?"
Tang Yushan was silent. She didn't have much contact with Lu Rui. After confessing her love, Lu Rui's subsequent series of alienation even seemed a bit inhumane. However, for Tang Yushan, the name Lu Rui has been engraved in her heart for some reason and seems unforgettable.
She picked up the champagne that Lu Rui had poured, and she sipped it in small mouthfuls, still in the same way as a listener.
From the perspective of an onlooker, she really doesn't understand Lu Rui's current thoughts.
Looking at Lu Rui, Tang Yushan asked in confusion: "Then do you like this? Do you like your current position?"
"Like it? I can't say I like it anymore. My current position makes me understand that sometimes I have to learn to be sarcastic when doing things. I don't want to compromise with some things, but there is no way. But when there is a compromise, there will be a second time, a third time, and a fourth time, a second time."
Tang Yushan was stunned. She looked at Lu Rui, as if she had known this man for the first time. It was not until this time that she remembered that this man was not the old fried dough sticks who had been rolling in the officialdom for half their lives. He was like himself, and was still a young man under 30 years old. But it took eight years to walk a path that many people could never finish in their lifetime.
This is what happens in the officialdom. People are selfish, or people who stand completely on the rightful position do not exist. In order to achieve their own goals, everyone has to take some measures. This includes persistence, which naturally includes compromise.
The wine glass in his hand gradually dropped. Tang Yushan watched Lu Rui drink the last bit of wine left in the bottle of champagne bit by bit, and asked softly, "What else do you want to do next?"
"Next?" Lu Rui frowned, as if he had thought seriously for a moment, and finally looked at Tang Yushan with a smile and said in a tone that was definitely not a joke.
"Next, I want to kiss you."
Lu Rui is not a promiscuous person. If he does not control his own ** in his position, there may be countless women, but it is obvious that he only has two women in total. When he received the call from Xiao Zihan, Lu Rui was a little surprised, but when he saw Tang Yushan's figure, he didn't need to ask more questions. Lu Rui naturally knew what Tang Yushan's actions mean.
Men are always animals that are easily moved.
He looked up at the girl in front of him who was so scared that she couldn't help but open her eyes wide because of her words. Lu Rui's smile was so peaceful. At this time when Lu Rui was a little distracted and sensitive, Tang Yushan's arrival felt a different feeling for Lu Rui.
The inexplicable feelings grew in my heart. Lu Rui just felt that he should do something and could not let the woman in front of him down.
But it was just his words that made Tang Yushan look like a silence of an electric current, and her whole body was as stiff as a stone. The moment she met Lu Rui's eyes, she found that she couldn't even say a word, and then she stared at Lu Rui blankly, as if she was waiting for something.
Time seemed to have stopped at that moment. A few seconds later, Tang Yushan staggered the eyes of her and Lu Rui looking at the dark night sky outside the window. For some reason, she actually hoped that Lu Rui was just making a joke with her.
He picked up the remaining little wine in front of him and started drinking, and the atmosphere between the two suddenly fell into a deadlock.
"Do you really regret it?" After drinking a lot of wine, Tang Yushan's face turned around and looked at Lu Rui and asked softly.
"You are just a little confused now. You are just afraid that you do not have the ability to change the fate of many people, because every decision you make will affect the lives of thousands or even more people in the next ten years or even a lifetime. You can never make choices for yourself, but you don't want to influence them. No matter what path they choose, they will bear the future. You don't want to be the object of complaint because you don't know whether the path you choose is right or wrong.
From filling out your application form to asking for love skills, every decision in life is accompanied by various suggestions. Success will bring joy and gratitude, but failure will bring depression and complaints.
For ordinary people, officials are the ones who provide advice and guidance. Lu Rui's current situation is not because he refuses to take responsibility, but because he knows how heavy it will be to shoulder the responsibility. He has his own principles and knows what he should do and what he cannot do. This is his principle. This principle is like an invisible shackle that keeps him away from the crowd forever and cannot truly join it.
In an era when it is easy to indulge yourself, people with principles live hard.
