The second letter: "Brother Shen Tong, are you here? I have a new work and I want you to revise it, is that okay?"
The third letter: "Brother Shen Tong, why are you ignoring me?"
There were more than a dozen letters in a row complaining, and it was not until the last one that there was a word of thanks: "Brother Shen Tong, my article was published in Dongjiang Daily. Thank you very much. I will definitely continue to work hard and write more in the future." Here comes the good work. Hee hee!”
Shen Tong thought Wu Yuhan's chubby face was cute and couldn't help but laugh out loud. He wrote back: "Wu Yuhan, I'm busy at work and can't reply to your email in time. Please forgive me! Your writing is good, I must continue. Work hard, I’ll leave you my mobile phone number, if you need anything you can just text me or call me.”
After reading the email, Shen Tong felt exhausted. Although he didn't do much at work these days, some unexpected things caught him off guard. Wu Jiangkai was absent-minded, and he was also in a state of confusion. What Guo Jinzhu said today was still in his ears. While echoing, is Secretary Wu going to get out as he said?
At this time, Shen Tong felt that the political struggle was so scary. He sneezed and stamped his feet, and everyone was panicking below. If Wu Jiangkai was implicated, his fate would also change. What would be the outcome? He couldn't imagine it.
That night, Shen Tong had a nightmare. He dreamed that a large group of men in black came to Dongquan County to arrest Wu Jiangkai, and then arrested him all over the world. He ran and ran until he reached the sea with no way out. The man in clothes laughed loudly from behind, so he closed his eyes and jumped into the sea. At this moment, Shen Tong woke up. He gasped for air, wiped the cold sweat from his head, and realized that it was a dream. I lay down with a sigh of relief. I looked at my watch and saw that it was already 7 o'clock in the morning. Then I calmed down and got up to get dressed.
As soon as I went out, I saw Guo Jinzhu, Vice Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, standing there timidly. His eyes were soft and filled with sadness, as if he was not as arrogant as he was two days ago. In order to gain a breath, he said something he shouldn't have said. What happened was that he was dismissed and his son was detained. Although Shen Tong was angry, he was once a county leader after all. He hurriedly asked: "Chairman Guo, why are you standing at the door in such a cold weather? Come on!" Come in."
"I, I won't go in." Guo Jinzhu grabbed the corner of his clothes and forced a smile on his face, looking a little restrained.
The once influential figure actually ended up like this. Shen Tong would not beat up the drowned dog, so he walked over and pulled Guo Jinzhu into the office, poured him a glass of hot water, and asked: "Chairman Guo, what's the matter?"
Guo Jinzhu put down the water, stood up and said apologetically: "Secretary Shen, I'm here to apologize to you today. I'm so sorry for that day. It's my fault that I can't see Taishan. It's all my fault. I'm all worried..."
Shen Tong hurriedly asked Guo Jinzhu to sit down and said with relief: "Chairman Guo, don't say that. I was also wrong that day. I shouldn't have talked back to you. After all, you are the county leader, and I, as a subordinate, am talking to a junior. The way it was done was wrong, and I should apologize to you. In addition, the matter has passed, so don’t mention it again. I didn’t take it seriously at all. I hope you can also relax. Just as it was before, it will be the same in the future."
Guo Jinzhu was moved with tears in his eyes. He didn't expect Shen Tong to be so magnanimous. He took Shen Tong's hand and said, "Shen Tong, what you said today makes me very embarrassed, eh!" After saying that, he flirted. He raised his sleeve and wiped the tears from his eyes.
Shen Tong continued to comfort him: "I don't want to see something like this happen. That person is my girlfriend Lan Yue's uncle. I have never met him. Besides, Lan Yue doesn't know where he came from, and I don't either. I know that his uncle is so capable, so don't be surprised. As for your future, I will mention it to Secretary Wu when the time is right."
"You don't know either?" Guo Jinzhu was a little surprised.
"Well, I really don't know." Shen Tong said sincerely.
Guo Jinzhu sighed and said: "I only got to know this big shot after this incident happened. He is the political commissar of a certain regiment of the First Guard Division of the Beijing Garrison District. I really regret my actions."
Shen Tong asked curiously: "What kind of position is this? What level? What does it do specifically?"
Guo Jinzhu took a sip of water and said: "To tell you simply, the troops in the garrison area are equivalent to the imperial guards in the past. They mainly protect the capital. If they are guards, they protect the national leaders. There are several regiments under a division. Except for the honor guard, the rest protect a certain central leader one-on-one. Can you understand what I say?"
"Ah?" Shen Tong was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time. It turned out that the Lanyue family still had this level of relatives. No wonder Lu Jiyuan dared to call the governor directly and sent the Secretary-General of the Provincial Government Office to personally handle such a small matter. I didn't expect it to be such a big deal.
Shen Tong recalled every detail of his encounter with Lu Jiyuan. He was so vigilant, cold, and stern. He always felt aloof and difficult to approach. Shen Tong regretted what he just said. With his own ability and Wu Jiangkai's Who dares to re-appoint Guo Jinzhu due to his lack of ability? In other words, Guo Jinzhu’s political career is ruined.
Guo Jinzhu seemed to be aware of this. He shook his head and said: "Shen Tong, I am not young anymore. I made a fool of myself at the end of the year. I am not sure of my future. It is really embarrassing. My old face is nothing, but My son Guo Xudong is still young. If his political future is affected because of me, even if I cry my heart out, I can only swallow the pain in my stomach!"
Only then did Shen Tong understand the purpose of Guo Jinzhu's trip and Lu Jiyuan's background. He didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and said: "Chairman Guo, you also know that Political Commissar Lu is not a relative of my family. Even Lan Yue can't talk about it." A few words, not to mention that what Mayor Guo did was indeed a bit outrageous. This matter can only fade away as time goes by, what do you think?"
Guo Jinzhu sighed again, his plaintive expression full of regret and guilt. After a moment of silence, he said: "Shen Tong, I do have something to ask for today, and I hope you won't argue with me, for the sake of you and my son working together." Come on, you must help me."
Shen Tong looked at Guo Jinzhu's pitiful eyes. He felt uncomfortable in his heart and said: "Chairman Guo, don't say that. If I can help, I will definitely help."
Guo Jinzhu said with a hoarse voice: "The Chinese New Year will be here in seven or eight days, but my dog is still in the detention center. The Public Security Bureau will detain him for fifteen days, which means he will be there for the Chinese New Year. But my grandson is still there. My son is crying and asking for his father when he can't see him. I feel very sad. I want you to beg for mercy. Can you let my son be released before the Chinese New Year? Even if he goes in after the Chinese New Year, it will be fine. "
After hearing this, Shen Tong said: "Chairman Guo, you should have a good relationship with Director Wan of the Public Security Bureau. Can't you just go to him directly?"
