Then the secretary said: "Comrade Qiao Liang, please come with me -"

"Okay." Qiao Liang nodded.

Then Qiao Liang followed the secretary upstairs and arrived at the door of a room, which was ajar.

The secretary gently opened the door and said in a respectful tone: "Secretary Liao, Comrade Qiao Liang is here."

"Well, okay, let him in." Liao Gufeng's voice came from the room.

The secretary then turned around and nodded to Qiao Liang, making a gesture of invitation.

Qiao Liang nodded to the secretary, then went in, and the secretary immediately opened the door.

Qiao Liang then saw Liao Gufeng, who was sitting on the sofa in the middle of the room drinking tea, looking leisurely.

"Secretary Liao..." Qiao Liang said happily.

Liao Gufeng looked up at Qiao Liang, then smiled slightly, leaned back, reached out and patted the armrest of the sofa: "Boy, come here -"

Qiao Liang happily went over and sat on the sofa next to Liao Gufeng.

"Would you like some tea?" Liao Gufeng asked.

"Drink——" Qiao Liang said.

"Pour it yourself." Liao Gufeng pointed at the coffee table.

"Come on." Qiao Liang picked up the teapot, filled Liao Gufeng with water first, then poured it in himself, picked it up and took a sip.

"How does it taste?" Liao Gufeng asked.

Qiao Liang frowned: "To be honest, it's just average."

"Haha..." Liao Gufeng laughed and continued, "What's so so? Is the tea bad?"

Qiao Liang shook his head: "It seems like this water..."

"That's right." Liao Gufeng nodded, "The water here is not as hard as Jiangdong. From now on, you will have to drink this water every day and gradually get used to it."

"So, Secretary Liao, are you used to it?" Qiao Liang said.

"I have to get used to it," Liao Gufeng said.

Qiao Liang nodded: "Secretary Liao, I actually found that you are very adaptable."

"Huh? Are you praising me?" Liao Gufeng said with a half-smile but not a smile.

"Don't dare." Qiao Liang chuckled.

Liao Gufeng took out a cigarette and put it to his mouth, then handed another one to Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang picked up the lighter and lit it for Liao Gufeng first, and then lit it himself.

Liao Gufeng took two puffs of cigarette, then looked at Qiao Liang: "Boy, you haven't seen me for so long, do you miss me?"

"I think!" Qiao Liang said without hesitation.

"Where are you thinking?" Liao Gufeng asked.

"Of course it's in my heart." Qiao Liang said.

Liao Gufeng shook his head: "It's not enough to just think in your heart, you have to be here——"

Liao Gufeng said and pointed at Qiao Liang's head.

Qiao Liang was a little confused: "Isn't it the same here as in your heart?"

"Of course it's different. The heart is called thinking, and here it's called thinking." Liao Gufeng said meaningfully.

Qiao Liang blinked, as if there was something in Liao Gufeng's words.

Then Liao Gufeng said: "Before you came to my room, when you saw me, did you feel left out?"

Qiao Liang said honestly: "A little bit."

"Well, that's right." Liao Gufeng nodded, "Xiao Qiao, when you come to Northwest for a temporary job, don't expect to get any special care from me because of your relationship with me. Do you understand?"

Qiao Liang nodded. He seemed to understand what Liao Gufeng did this afternoon. He wanted to clear his head first.

"However, in my eyes, there are indeed some differences between you and other comrades who have come to take temporary positions, so I will call you over tonight to have a chat." Liao Gufeng said.

Qiao Liang couldn't help but grin. Liao Gufeng could say this, and he was already very satisfied.

"You still don't know where you are going to work, do you?" Liao Gufeng said.

"Yes." Qiao Liang nodded, "I'll wait for notification tomorrow."

Liao Gufeng took a puff of cigarette and said slowly: "No matter where the organization assigns you to take a temporary job, you must work hard. Be upright and do your work as before. Facing a new environment, you must correct your mentality and position, and go deep into the grassroots to face difficulties.

On the other hand, we must use our brains to actively explore, unite with local cadres, and when encountering problems, we must not only adhere to the principles that must be adhered to, but also be flexible..."

Qiao Liang listened carefully and kept nodding.

Then Liao Gufeng said: "I know that after An Zhe left Jiangzhou, you were tortured a lot, suffered a lot, and suffered a lot..."

Qiao Liang grinned: "That's not a big deal. Now I've had all the hardships."

"Boy, do you think you will enjoy happiness by coming to the northwest?" Liao Gufeng glared.

"No, no." Qiao Liang hurriedly shook his head, "I mean, it is a rare opportunity for me to come to the northwest for training, especially since you are in charge here, and I can work under your leadership, no matter how tired I am.

Happy, "no matter how bitter it is, it still feels sweet."

"Small mouth is very good at talking." Liao Gufeng said.

Qiao Liang chuckled, and then remembered something: "By the way, Secretary Liao, yesterday in Huangyuan, Secretary Guan made an important speech at the farewell party. He mentioned you many times in his speech."

"I know this. I saw it on Jiangdong News Network this morning." Liao Gufeng said.

Qiao Liang nodded and continued: "Also, when Secretary Guan shook hands with me yesterday, he said that if I see you in the northwest, let me bring you a message."

"What words do you want to bring?"

"He said you are welcome to return to Jiangdong at your convenience."

"Then what did you say?

"Of course I agreed, and then I said that when I arrive in the northwest, you are so busy, I may not have a chance to see you, and even if I do, I may not have a chance to talk to you."

Liao Gufeng nodded, pondered for a moment, and looked at Qiao Liang: "When Comrade Xinmin spoke yesterday, did he have a draft of his speech?"

Qiao Liang shook his head: "No, he was speaking impromptu."

"Well..." Liao Gufeng nodded again, pondered for a moment, and showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing Liao Gufeng's smile was a bit unpredictable, Qiao Liang couldn't guess what he was thinking.

Then Liao Gufeng continued to smoke and drink tea, and after a while he said: "Have you finished reading the book I gave you?"

"I've finished reading." Qiao Liang nodded.

"Come, tell me what you think after reading it." Liao Gufeng said.

"This..." Qiao Liang hesitated.

"What's the matter? You don't see it deeply and thoroughly? You can't express your feelings?" Liao Gufeng said.

Qiao Liang shook his head: "That's not the case. I just think that since you gave it to me, you must have read it and have some thoughts about it. Now that you ask me to talk about my thoughts, I have some thoughts.

I don’t dare to show off in front of you.”

"It doesn't matter, just go ahead and let me see your sword skills."

"Then I'm really kidding?"

"Stop talking nonsense and let's have fun——"

So Qiao Liang thought while saying: "After reading "Human Weaknesses", my biggest feeling is that this book is like a mirror, helping me to know myself and understand myself, so as to improve myself, control myself, and make me a

People who are good at managing their own lives have a long road ahead. It allows me to see clearly where I came from and what kind of future I have to face...

The essence of this book is: Recognize the weaknesses in human nature. In this way, when we do things, if we target these weaknesses, we will get twice the result with half the effort. And this weakness can be either our own or that of others.

.Understanding the weaknesses of others will allow us to deal with others more smoothly when doing things. If others are opponents, it will be beneficial to our own attack and control. Understanding our own weaknesses will enable us to use our strengths and avoid weaknesses and highlight our own advantages.

…”

Qiao Liang talked a lot, and Liao Gufeng listened very attentively.

Qiao Liang talked for a long time and felt that it was almost done. Then he stopped, picked up the cup and took a drink of water.

Liao Gufeng looked at Qiao Liang with admiration: "Boy, it seems that you read this book very carefully and attentively."

After receiving praise from Liao Gufeng, Qiao Liang couldn't help but be happy: "Secretary Liao, of course I want to read the book you gave me."

Liao Gufeng chuckled: "The conversation just now was good, and it lived up to my original intention of giving you this book. However, I will add one more thing to you -"

"Well, tell me." Qiao Liang looked at Liao Gufeng.

Liao Gufeng looked at Qiao Liang and said slowly: "When reading this book, you must understand one truth. This truth is: always be prepared and face everything that will happen in the future with a good attitude!"

Qiao Liang was shocked and thought about Liao Gufeng's words carefully.

Liao Gufeng continued: "Xiao Qiao, you have to stay in the northwest for 2 years. During these 2 years, no one knows what will happen, but no matter what happens, you must maintain a good attitude and persist in yourself.

We must stick to our original aspiration and stick to our bottom line..."
