Rise to the top -

"No...Secretary-General Xu, in fact, I really went to the countryside for research this afternoon. But it was not because of the tasks you handed over this morning, but because of the materials you reported last time." Dou Yifan opened his mouth.

, finally explained it calmly.

"Going to the countryside for research? Dou Yifan, do you always skip work as an excuse to go to the countryside for research? Tell me, which town did you go to for research this afternoon when you left your post without authorization and neglected your duties?" Xu Yiming's tone seemed indifferent.

There was a certain coolness that couldn't be ignored, but this coolness seemed to have nothing to do with the peace on his face.

"Neglect of duty? Secretary-General Xu, I really went to the countryside for research. If you don't believe it, you can call..." Dou Yifan raised his eyes and glanced at the constipation-like facial paralysis on his face.

Xu Yiming seemed to want to explain something. However, Xu Yiming did not intend to give Dou Yifan a chance to explain, so he interrupted him without explanation.

"Go down and complete the tasks for this morning, and hand in the summary materials before leaving get off work." Xu Yiming raised his hand to pick up the rarely moved tea cup on his desk, and issued the expulsion order calmly and indifferently.

"But...Secretary-General Xu, I want to meet Mayor Shi." Dou Yifan found that the rhetoric he had prepared was of no use in front of Xu Yiming. He anxiously asked to meet Shi Dezheng, and even deliberately

He raised his voice, hoping that Shi Dezheng would be able to hear his voice like last time. But to his disappointment, there was no movement from the other side of the passage.

"The mayor is very busy! If you have anything important, please talk to me first! If there is nothing important, please go down and finish the work at hand. Don't always think about flattering the leader." Xu Yiming was cold.

Looking at Dou Yifan with an anxious look on his face, he sneered secretly in his heart. The door on the other side of the passage had been closed by him, even if Shi Dezheng had finished talking to Cai Jianxin from Yifeng and walked out.

It is possible that you heard what happened here. What's more, Shi Dezheng always likes to stay in the lounge and meditate after every phone call with his senior leaders. He doesn't like to be disturbed before he thinks about things clearly.

, as Xu Yiming, who has been Shi Dezheng's personal secretary for several years, he knows it very well.

"This...Secretary-General Xu, I really have something urgent to report to Mayor Shi. Please be accommodating!" When Dou Yifan said this in a low voice, he already realized that he would not be able to see him today.

It was time for Shi Dezheng. He suddenly realized that as long as Xu Yiming deliberately blocked his meeting with Shi Dezheng, he was really helpless. It is no wonder that the princes and ministers of the ancient dynasty had to curry favor with the gatekeepers or the powerful eunuchs! They are not afraid of officials, only afraid of officials.

No matter what, I'm more afraid of followers who are close to me, and pillow talk.

Xu Yiming stood up from his seat, walked to the office door, opened the office door, and made a very strong gesture to Dou Yifan. Dou Yifan didn't say anything more, looked at Xu Yiming silently, and then turned around and walked out.

Walked over. Xu Yiming had a valid excuse for not letting him see Shi Dezheng, but even if Xu Yiming prevented Dou Yifan from seeing Shi Dezheng, it didn't mean that Dou Yifan couldn't find Mayor Shi. However, this kind of thing made people feel uncomfortable.

The feeling of being kicked out is really uncomfortable.

Dou Yifan, who pushed open the security door and walked downstairs, took out his mobile phone and thought about calling Shi Dezheng to explain the reason for his disappearance in the afternoon. However, what surprised him was that Shi Dezheng's personal phone number could not be reached. Dou Yifan

Fan stood in the stairwell for a long time, still not clearing up the situation he was facing. Through the dusty glass window at the entrance of the stairs, Dou Yifan paced back and forth on the ground a little irritably, hoping to pass through the fingers.

Cigarettes to relieve anxiety.

The setting sun cast its residual heat on Yupeng Mountain. Through the glass windows on the ninth floor, Dou Yifan felt for the first time that the light refracted from the glass windows of the Municipal Party Committee Building in the back was dazzling. He accidentally discovered the afterglow of the setting sun.

Dou Yifan, who should not be underestimated, sighed silently. After he put out the cigarette butt in his hand on the window sill, he realized that something was wrong. After taking a look at the cigarette butt that he had pressed down on the window sill, Dou Yifan

Fan looked down at the document he was holding in his hand again. The resentment spreading in his heart made him subconsciously reach out and pull off a piece of document paper. He grabbed it with his big hand and wrapped the cigarette butt in the document paper. Dou Yifan tugged at the corner of his mouth.

The smile was a bit evil, as if the cigarette butt was tightly rubbed in the palm of Xu Yiming's hand.

When Dou Yifan gathered his mood and walked to the office downstairs, it suddenly occurred to him that he should report the progress here to Ling Yunbi. Dou Yifan, who was feeling a little irritable, was too lazy to log in to his email to type out such a detailed report, and took a look at the empty space.

office, took out his mobile phone and called Ling Yunbi.

When the music on her mobile phone rang, Ling Yunbi was sitting quietly in the hospital ward in a daze. Over the past year, she had kept a stiff posture like this many times and sat in front of her father Ling Zhenbang's bed, quietly

Watching the liquid in the infusion tube melt into the skinny arm drop by drop, he could only look helplessly at his father's cloudy and dull eyes.

When he heard the familiar ringtone, Ling Yunbi's brows furrowed silently, but he had no choice but to reach out and answer the phone.

"Hey, Yunbi, where are you? Why haven't you gone home yet?" Xiao Dongzhi's high-pitched voice came from the phone.

"Well, I'm going home soon." Ling Yunbi replied lazily and then fell silent, waiting for Xiao Dongzhi's next question.

"Did you go to the hospital again? How many times have I told you not to go again? Why don't you listen? How many more times do you want me to tell you?" Xiao Dongzhi had a lot of questions, and her tone of voice was

It's like questioning an ignorant child.

"I have the right to visit my father." Ling Yunbi held the cell phone far away from her ears. When there was no other sound on the other end of the phone, she took it back and replied calmly.

"But...Yunbi, can't you pay attention to my feelings? I have tried my best on your father's case, and the current situation can be regarded as a great blessing among misfortunes..." As soon as Xiao Dongzhi heard Ling Yunbi's words

The answer was already formulaic, and I couldn't help but explain it again.
