"This report and all the photos taken by eyewitnesses have been bought out by the Construction Bureau at a high price. No wonder you, as a media person, have not received any news." He said calmly.

Ji Xinyao frowned slightly and looked at the photos on the computer screen: "This is the accident scene on No. 18 North Street? When did it happen?"

"An hour ago." His expression was cold and cold, as if he was extremely tired. His tall body sank heavily into the executive chair, and his eyes were dark.

"Have they been sent to the hospital? Have they been rescued? Are they all still alive?"

He watched the tension in her eyes silently. It was not until she turned her gaze from the photo on the screen back to him that her thin lips moved slightly: "The resistance of the two people at that time was too fierce. The seventy-year-old woman

In order to save her wife and the cat, she directly hit the forklift and died on the spot. Her husband suffered a myocardial infarction ten minutes later and was pronounced dead immediately after being sent to the hospital."

"That's too much!" Ji Xinyao lowered her head and took out her mobile phone to make a call.

"what are you up to?"

"Call! I want to call the city supervisory office! Is it the Construction Bureau's problem or the Land and Resources Bureau's fault? Or maybe the businessman who wants to buy the land is so greedy for money that he even threatens the old man with death! I want to find someone.

Check properly!"

"When the matter reaches the city supervisory office, won't the documents still have to be submitted to me in the end?"

Ji Xinyao stopped flipping through the phone book and raised her eyes to look at him in shock.

That's right, the mayor of City G is right in front of her, why does she still need to call the City Supervisory Office?

Involuntarily, she put down her phone, rubbed her hands in embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and then thought of her right words: "Then... what are you going to do about this matter?"

"I already know what happened." Gu Nanxi's dark eyes fell on her lightly, paused, and then said in a deep voice: "I have my own sense of discretion and try to find a more balanced way to resolve this matter.

thing."

"Zhongheng's method? Solution?" Ji Xinyao suddenly laughed: "It's just to give the families of those two old people some money to kill the trouble, right?"

He pursed his lips and said nothing.

She immediately stared at him: "I knew that you, the high-ranking officials who depend on the country, would only use this method to solve problems! What's the use of giving money? Can you buy back the lives of those two old people by giving money?

Those people under you are just using money to get through corruption and bribery. I never thought that you, Nancy Gu, were also this kind of person!"

She was filled with righteous indignation, her clear eyes were on fire, and she spoke aggressively every word. He stared at her calmly, neither annoyed nor angry.

"Am I right? You collect taxes and pay taxes every day and eat the hard work of the people. You talk about doing things for the people, but have you done it? How can you use money to solve problems? You, Gu Nancy, are very popular in politics.

After living in trouble for so many years, will this be the only way to solve the problem?!"

His brows knitted together: "Ji Xinyao, your grudge and misunderstanding of our political circles are extraordinary."

"Nonsense! What you did is not human affairs! How can I have any misunderstanding!" Ji Xinyao was really angry: "If you have the ability, let those bastards from the Construction Bureau publish these photos for the public to comment on.

, what are you doing buying out those photos? If you have the guts to harm others, then you have the guts to do it! The money is amazing, isn’t it?!"

His eyes darkened, but his thin lips pursed into a thin line. Seeing her angry little face flushed and her mouth opening and closing with hatred, he suddenly sneered: "It seems that you have been bullied for a long time and have never found a chance to vent."

Her breath stagnated, and her mind returned to her brain. She realized what she had just said, and her face suddenly turned green. She bit her lower lip and hesitated for a while before lowering her voice: "I didn't mean anything else, it's just them.

Such disregard for human life means that even if the person was not killed by them, he was forced to commit suicide by them. There are already many cases of suicide due to demolition in the country. They did this without considering that you, the mayor, will be killed once something happens.

If something happens, you must be the first to take responsibility!"

Gu Nanxi chuckled: "You scolded me so much just now, and now you start to show me your affection?"

He raised his sparse eyebrows and looked at the blue and white colors on her face with a half-smile.

Ji Xinyao curled her lips and lowered her head without saying a word.

"Why did you come to see me?" he asked.

She still lowered her head and remained silent.

He narrowed his eyes: "Ji Xinyao, don't tell me, are you angry?"

On the ground, she froze, raised her head reluctantly, and stared at him with a not-so-kind look: "Yes!"

He only found it a little funny: "What are you angry about?"

"Facing the lives of two old people, you actually just want to spend them with money!"

He looked at her for a while before speaking: "Otherwise, what do you want me to do? Do I disclose the truth to the public? Let the citizens have strong distrust in all levels of the government from top to bottom, causing a sensation? In today's society

Don’t you understand this phenomenon? The mutual distrust between the government and the people, the mutual distrust between doctors and patients, all of these are common! In this position I am in, when considering things, I can’t just act on my whim.

Everyone has the qualities of kindness and integrity, but you have to see clearly what you are facing right now?"

"Then there can't be other ways? The Deputy Wang from the Construction Bureau who just left is the target of bribery this time, right? He took money from the real estate company and went to the Bureau of Land and Resources to find connections to approve the land sale and use documents.

Isn’t that right? He gave those people the right to annihilate business, didn’t he?”

He didn't say anything, but he acquiesced.

Ji Xinyao took a deep breath: "Since you know all this, why don't you deal with him? You still keep such a scumbag working under you?"

Gu Nanxi put her arms casually on the desk, clasped her hands, looked at the little woman in front of her, and chuckled: "I know why so many people abandon politics and go into business, they would rather not have these rights and just have those stinky jobs."

Who doesn’t know that power is the ultimate benefit, but too many people give up? Do you know what it is?”

She was frightened and answered mechanically: "Because politics is too sensitive, and if there is a slight mistake, it will be catastrophic."

"This is just one of them." Hearing her answer, the smile in his eyes deepened: "Let me give you an example. Who was the most corrupt official under Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty?"

"He Shen!" Ji Xinyao blurted out without thinking.

He smiled: "Yes, it's Heshen. Since you are engaged in journalism, you must have been involved in the Chinese Department in college. So whether it is official history or unofficial history, it has been clearly shown that Qianlong knew that Heshen was corrupt.

, but he has never touched He Shen, so what is this?"

She spoke awkwardly and moved her mouth, but couldn't answer the words for a moment.

"Of course, Deputy Director Wang's matter needs to be dealt with, but it is not as you think, exposed, removed, deprived of lifelong political rights, jailed or shot. These are the ways to deal with evildoers in your eyes." He said slightly.

Yixiao: "If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Although the punishment cannot be excessive, the punishment cannot be too light. Of course I want to give justice to the innocent people, but the development and direction of things, including the progress, if I don't control it well,

It’s a heavy blow to myself and even the G-market. I need to find the right opportunity instead of acting on impulse, understand?”

"It's not that I haven't considered these issues. I just heard you say you wanted to use money to spend your time, and I got a little excited for a moment. Maybe you said it a bit too much..." Ji Xinyao lowered her voice.

Gu Nanxi just curled her lips: "It's not that I can't see or hear many things, it's just that it takes time to solve problems. If you want to be decisive, you can't be too hasty, because there are many people or things that will involve too many aspects, just like the same

In the game of Go, if I make one wrong move or every wrong step, I will lose the whole game. The position I am in is like playing chess every day, and I cannot ignore every move."

She nodded: "Sorry, I was impulsive just now."

"Isn't this your nature? You are obviously a hedgehog, but you want to hide all the thorns. You are usually as docile as a cat, but when something happens, you will immediately show off the thorns and prick you unexpectedly.

people."

Ji Xinyao twitched her lips: "When did the mayor know me so well..."

He just smiled and looked at her with a silent smile for a while, then raised his eyes to look at her sitting in front of her desk with a reserved look on her face: "As for what I said about using money to kill time, less than half an hour after the incident, then

The sons and daughters of the two old men rushed over. They did not ask for life, but only asked for compensation. Since they themselves wanted money, of course I was willing to handle the matter in the simplest direction."

Ji Xinyao was dumbfounded and opened her mouth: "What kind of children are these?!"

"Presumably, they have long thought that the elderly are a burden to them and are unwilling to take care of them. Now that something like this has happened, they want to make a fortune by the way." He sneered.

Damn...

Ji Xinyao quietly cursed with her mouth, but Gu Nanxi saw it, raised an eyebrow and smiled at her angry and pitiful expression for the two old people.

"Tell me now, what else do you want to see me for?" He sat up, which had been sunk in the executive chair, raised his left hand and casually squeezed his right shoulder, tilting his head and staring at her.

The man in front of her was so casual that she subconsciously glanced down at the position sign in the upper left corner of his desk.

In the 1-inch bareheaded photo that has been enlarged to 4 inches, Nancy Gu is wearing a white shirt, a black suit, and a blue and gray tie. Her serious and handsome face with a hint of gentle smile gives people a steady and steady look.

The feeling of being reliable, especially his spotless short hair that had been washed countless times a day, was actually combed back in the photo, making it so neat and smooth that she was speechless.

This seems to be a photo released to the public when senior state officials take office. It seems that every photo released to the public by a national leader is of this type. From clothing to hairstyle, each one is more old-fashioned than the other, but they are more stable and approachable.

She couldn't help but smile while looking at the photo. When she raised her eyes again, her smiling eyes met his calm gaze. Her smile faded instantly and she cleared her throat in embarrassment: "Since you already know what's going on over there.

, then I will keep all my language simple.”

He nodded briefly.

"That's right, even what I told you when I came in, my friend's parents were reluctant to part with the house there. Now let's put aside these things, let's just talk about the architectural style in that alley. If it is renovated and improved, it can be

A very good scenic spot, isn't it? That's why I came to you, nothing else."

"You came to me just because of this?" He looked at her.

Ji Xinyao was confused: "Otherwise, what else could happen?"

He curled his lips: "Mom didn't call you?"

"Call? Does she have my number?"

He didn't answer, he just raised his eyebrows lightly, held his chin with one hand, and looked her up and down: "Don't you have any clothes that are pleasing to the eye? You wear such old-fashioned colors every day."

Ji Xinyao stared at him in confusion: "What does this have to do with the clothes I'm wearing?"

She herself thinks that those dark-colored suits from some small brands that are not expensive but not cheap either are very suitable for her. They can make her look thinner and more mature. She can occasionally pretend to be mature in the workplace, which is obviously the case.

How come the very fashionable clothes have become old-fashioned here?
