Just when Kong Xiangrong was about to answer him, Liu Qifeng's voice came from the stairs, "What on earth is going on? What did Mao Qiushi do? He can't handle this kind of thing? Where are the others?"
Li Xiaoning glanced at Kong Xiangrong and found that he was wiping the already very clean floor with the rag even harder. His free left hand was not idle either, but was secretly smearing it on his face...
"Damn it! This kid is so good at pretending, isn't he? He really doesn't even have to show his face in front of the leader!" Li Xiaoning complained about Kong Xiangrong's behavior in his heart, but he secretly wiped a few on his face.
There is no way, the reality is like this. Sometimes, what you really want to do may not be what you want in your heart.
"Li Xiaoning, Kong Xiangrong? What are you doing?" Liu Qifeng spotted two people squatting on the ground mopping the floor.
Kong Xiangrong was really good at pretending. As if he had just discovered Secretary Liu, he stood up and said loudly: "Report to Secretary Liu, we are cleaning."
"Cleaning?" Liu Qifeng frowned, looked at the two people with stains and sweat on their faces, and asked in a slightly slow tone, "Are you tired?"
Although Li Xiaoning didn't really like doing this kind of face-to-face flattery, he also knew that this was an opportunity to show off. Naturally, he would not let Kong Xiangrong take the lead. He hurriedly replied: "Thank you, Secretary Liu, for caring. Don't worry."
Liu Qifeng nodded and said, "Are you two called Li Xiaoning and Kong Xiangrong? Okay! Very good. It's rare for the proud students of a prestigious institution of higher learning to be able to do such dirty and tiring work in such a down-to-earth manner!"
Neither Li nor Kong expected that Liu Qifeng would know their names, and they were stunned for a moment. Fortunately, Li Xiaoning reacted quickly, pursed his lips and said, "This kind of job is for us who have just graduated and just left school."
For our students, it is a test and also an exercise.”
Liu Qifeng nodded and said: "That's good! It's great that a young person can be so down-to-earth without being arrogant or impetuous!" After a pause, he continued: "Exercise well, and you will have a broader future in the future.
The stage is waiting for you, the municipal party committee needs college students like you very much, you are Binhai’s hope for the future!”
As he spoke, Liu Qifeng stretched out his hand. Seeing this, Kong Xiangrong quickly stepped forward to hold it and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Secretary Liu, for your concern!"
Li Xiaoning originally raised his hand, but suddenly realized something. He quickly wiped his hand on his clothes and said, "Secretary Liu, my hands are dirty."
Liu Qifeng took his hand out of Kong Xiangrong's, stretched it out to Li Xiaoning again and said: "Chairman Mao said that workers are the most glorious and the workers are the most beautiful, so how can they be dirty? Besides, I used to do rough work a lot.
, this little stain is nothing.”
Li Xiaoning then wiped his hand on his clothes a few more times, stretched out his hand to hold Liu Qifeng's fair and round right hand, and squeezed it hard a few times.
Liu Qifeng gently patted Li Xiaoning's hand with his left hand, then turned around and walked away slowly. After Liu Qifeng entered the room, Li Xiaoning took a deep breath and wiped the palm of his hand.
sweat.
Kong Xiangrong glanced at him and said: "Okay, this will be considered by the chief of Binhai No. 1. When you become prosperous in the future, don't forget the help I gave you today, brother!" There was no trace of jealousy in his tone.
Can't hide it.
Mao Qiushi rushed into Liu Qifeng's office at a trot. He didn't know what happened yet, but he could tell from the tone of the person who called him that Secretary Liu must be in a bad mood now and was anxious to see him.
he.
Looking at the panting Mao Qiushi, Liu Qifeng couldn't help but feel disgusted with the secretary assigned to him by Duan Yonghong - he was rough and not stable at all, how could he succeed? In fact, Mao Qiushi didn't
He was so tired that he showed it, so he just deliberately looked like he was out of breath, hoping to let Liu Qifeng understand that he came as quickly as possible, but unexpectedly it had the opposite effect.
"Secretary Liu! What are the latest instructions?" Mao Qiushi asked hurriedly with a slight breath on purpose.
Liu Qifeng originally called Mao Qiushi over in a hurry because there was a very important investment dinner in the development zone in the evening that he needed to attend, but Mao Qiushi didn't tell him, so that he failed to control his time well when attending an event at noon.
He needed to rush back in a hurry. In fact, this mistake cannot be blamed on Mao Qiushi. It was the mistake of Duan Yonghong, Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee General Office, but Duan Yonghong was a member of the Standing Committee, and Liu Qifeng couldn't help but embarrass him because of this "trivial matter", so he wanted to take advantage of it.
Reprimanding Mao Qiushi came to beat Duan Yonghong.
But the scene he encountered in the corridor just now gave Liu Qifeng a new idea, so he did not mention the business dinner first, but said calmly: "When I came in just now, I saw Xiao Li and Xiao
Kong and the two are cleaning, was it you who arranged it?"
Mao Qiushi didn't expect Liu Qifeng to call her here in such a hurry for such a trivial matter. She immediately felt relieved and said with a smile: "Yes, I arranged it."
"What do you think?" Liu Qifeng continued to ask, with a calm tone that made it difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry.
"I didn't think much about it." Mao Qiushi continued with a smile, "I just feel that the hygiene in the office building is a bit dirty. Our secretarial office should take the lead and set an example. Xiao Li and Xiao Kong are new college students, so they are
It's time to exercise, so..."
"Aren't you afraid of tiring these two top students from prestigious universities to quit? I just saw that both of them were covered in sweat." Liu Qifeng said this with a smile, so in his heart
dissatisfaction was effectively hidden.
Mao Qiushi did not realize that the No. 1 chief of Binhai City was actually very dissatisfied with him, and said to himself: "Secretary Liu said that these students today are incomparable to our generation.
All of them were pampered and raised, and their bodies were very weak, and they were very tired after doing some work. A few days ago, the secretaries had a dinner together, and Li Xiaoning didn't drink too much, and just vomited blood. I don't know.
Is it because my physical condition is already poor, or is there something wrong with me?"
Mao Qiushi took this opportunity to put eye drops in his eyes. Despite the upright and awe-inspiring appearance he usually put on in front of Liu Qifeng, in fact, this person has a very despicable personality. He especially likes to speak ill of others behind their backs and use dirty tricks. Among his colleagues,
He is very popular, but he is very good at pretending, he is very sweet in front of the leaders, he will handle private affairs for the leaders, and from time to time he pretends to be distressed and "exposes" the shortcomings of some colleagues, so he has won the hearts of many people, including Duan Yonghong, Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee.
Thanks to the appreciation of some leaders, he was promoted to director of the Secretariat.
Anyone who regards himself as a leader especially likes his subordinates to treat him like God. But the two young people new to his department failed to make him feel this kind of treatment, especially Li Xiaoning.
It all gave him the feeling that he was not taken seriously. With his character of retribution, how could he let go of this opportunity to mess with Li Xiaoning?
In fact, these are Mao Qiushi's own psychological conjectures. Although Li Xiaoning is not good at flattering others, as a newcomer, he is still more respectful to his boss; Kong Xiangrong was even more respectful to him at first, but later he slowly felt his character.
As a person, and because Kong Xiangrong was relatively well-informed, he knew that Mao Qiushi was not someone he could rely on or emulate in terms of prestige or position, so he gradually distanced himself from him.
The fundamental reason is that Mao Qiushi's own inferiority complex is at work. He only has a technical secondary school diploma and relied on hard work to get to his current position at the age of forty. Li Xiaoning and Kong Xiangrong were both recruited by Secretary Liu himself.
Famous bachelors, they were young and well-educated, which he did not possess. He felt threatened, so he used every opportunity to belittle these two young people.
But Mao Qiushi obviously didn't see clearly which way the wind was blowing. He was a direct descendant of Duan Yonghong, and Duan Yonghong and Liu Qifeng were seemingly inseparable, so Liu Qifeng was originally very skeptical of him, and Li Xiaoning and other college students
Liu Qifeng personally recruited him with the purpose of cultivating his own power. When he said bad things about Li Xiaoning, didn't he mean to say that Liu Qifeng had poor vision? What's more, his eye drops were not clever at all. These college students
When you came in, you all went through a strict physical examination. How could you have the serious illness he mentioned?
Liu Qifeng originally wanted to reprimand Mao Qiushi, but as the conversation progressed, he gave up the idea. Human nature is very strange. When you don't trust a person, you will often do the opposite to what he says.
Extreme speculation. Liu Qifeng is like this now. He originally did not regard Mao Qiushi as his enemy, but now he feels that he is trying to alienate himself from Li Xiaoning and Kong Xiangrong with ulterior motives.
Not to mention that behind Li Xiaoning is the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and behind Kong Xiangrong is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Even with the strength of these two people, they will definitely be of great benefit to themselves after some training. So Mao Qiushi's alienation is obviously to make himself
Self-destructing wings.
Therefore, Liu Qifeng did not believe what Mao Qiushi said at all. Not only did he not believe it, he actually believed that the reason why Mao Qiushi said something bad about Li Xiaoning was precisely because Li Xiaoning was excellent. He originally thought about slowly reusing Li Xiaoning and Kong Xiangrong after a period of time.
, but now I have decided to move forward. It is good to keep a low profile, but if you are too tolerant, you will be considered weak by the people in the city government.
Thinking of this, Liu Qifeng nodded deliberately and said: "You are right. These young people should exercise hard. You have nothing to do here. Go and call Li Xiaoning. I have something to ask him.
