Shen Tong didn't get along with Zhao Yitang for a long time, but Zhao Yitang's heartfelt words before leaving helped him a lot. Since the last time they said goodbye, Shen Tong hadn't visited him. Suddenly Liu Siming mentioned it, and Shen Tong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Then he said embarrassedly: "I'm embarrassed to disturb Secretary Zhao. I haven't visited him yet."
Liu Siming was quiet for a moment and then said: "Shen Tong, this is what you did wrong. You should go to Secretary Zhao's house more often when you have time. Although Secretary Zhao is dismissed from his post and is at home, it does not necessarily mean that he will never have a chance to make a comeback again in this life. Besides, He mentioned on more than one occasion that he likes you and appreciates you, and even asked me about your situation with concern when talking to me on the phone. As your first leader, he is the enlightenment teacher for your career, and even more important for you. You are a fast-growing mentor. If you have anything you don’t understand or are confused, please ask him for advice. I think Secretary Zhao will definitely give you guidance without reservation."
"Since you have chosen this path, you must have your own circle, in which you can gradually mature. If you work alone, you will only be marginalized again."
The words were like waking up from a dream, enlightenment, and Shen Tong seemed to understand his situation. It was obvious that he had been in a state of isolation and helplessness, and it was often when others used you that they would think of you. For example, Cai Jiaquan, if not for Guo Weijian When you come to invest, you have two choices about when you will make your mark. "Liu Siming is right, I need someone to guide me now. I must seize the opportunity during the critical period. This is the only chance to get out of Shihe Town." Shen Tong secretly said thought.
After hanging up the phone from Liu Siming, Shen Tong looked up at the highest authority in Dongquan. It looked simple and unpretentious on the outside, but inside it was extremely fascinating. Power is magical, and the leaders who work here are the core of the magnetic field. He Through positive and negative attraction, you can be firmly held in the palm of your hand and used by him, or through positive and negative repulsion, you can be repelled to the edge of the magnetic field, and you will never be able to get close. The way of officialdom is to admire a person, not to worship his sentiments. It's the power in his hands.
After a while, Cai Jiaquan walked out with a sullen face. Shen Tong hurried over to ask for leave with Cai Jiaquan. He wanted to visit Zhao Yitang at noon. Before he could speak, Cai Jiaquan spoke: "Shen Tong, I have something to do now. , I guess I won’t go back until the afternoon, maybe I won’t go back, you can go home by the way, you haven’t been home for a long time, right?”
Whatever came to mind, Shen Tong was secretly delighted, and replied with a beaming face: "Secretary Cai, you are busy first. If it is still early, I will take the shuttle bus back."
The Cai family didn't want to be entangled with Shen Tong for too long, so they said absently: "Okay, you go." After saying that, he glanced in the direction of the door, looking for his car.
When talking to Zhang Liwei just now, Zhang Liwei groaned for a long time without saying anything. It was obvious that he was deliberately avoiding the matter. But we can't blame him. After all, he is the director of the County Party Committee Office and serves Wu Jiangkai. Yes, as for the government, it's not easy to get involved. Originally, he planned to consult his original leader, Organization Minister Shi Fudong, but he quickly gave up the idea. After all, he has been working for most of his life, so this is the way to deal with it. None, it will make people feel that they are a little immature. Besides, if it does not involve your own interests, no one will make a judgment for you, because it involves issues of principle and alignment.
"Secretary Cai, where are we going now?" the driver turned around and asked while driving.
Cai Jiaquan's mind was very confused at this time. He wanted to be alone for a while, so he rubbed his temples and said, "Please take me home and pick me up in the afternoon."
After Shen Tong walked out of the county party committee compound, he went straight to a large supermarket in the county. The word supermarket comes from the foreign word supermarket, which means supermarket. It is mainly a large comprehensive retail mall that operates on a customer-selected basis. Since entering the Chinese market in the 1990s, it has been a real shock to Chinese people who are accustomed to passive consumption. This new gadget has immediately spread all over the streets and alleys. Even small shops with an area of less than 50 square meters have to be linked to supermarkets. Above, perhaps this active consumption model has won market recognition while generating income.
As soon as Shen Tong came in, he set his sights on the wine area. The boss, who has been in business for many years, already knew the psychology of the consumer group well. He knew what the customer wanted to buy through the eyes and behavior of the customer when he came in. When he saw Shen Tong looking at the wine carefully selecting, he He came up and asked with a smile: "Brother, I want to buy some wine. Do you want to drink it yourself, or give it as a gift?"
Shen Tong glanced at the boss who looked wretched and had yellow teeth. Although he was extremely disgusted, he still hoped to get his help. After all, this was his first time giving a gift, so he nodded and said: "I want to visit an old leader. What do you think is appropriate to give?"
Without saying anything, the boss picked up a bottle of beautifully packaged liquor from the shelf and introduced it to Shen Tong patiently: "Brother, there are many people who come to buy wine from me, and there are many like you. I will give it to you." I recommend this 'Dongjiang Chun'. This wine is of high quality at first glance. It's a great gift to give as a gift. Besides, this wine is soft in the mouth and extremely fragrant. Take a sip..."
When Shen Tong saw his boss explaining like a salesman, he stopped and said, "Okay, bring me two bottles."
The boss was so happy that he quickly took down two bottles from the shelf, fearing that Shen Tong would regret it. Shen Tong picked out a few more boxes of yak bone strengthening powder and was about to pay the bill when the boss said: "Brother, this is your first time." Give a gift?"
Shen Tong looked at the boss in surprise and asked, "How did you know?"
The boss stood on tiptoe and blew out a puff of smoke: "Have you ever seen anyone carrying things to the boss's house in broad daylight, unless they are relatives or something? You are too rude, aren't you?"
Shen Tong suddenly realized that he was lucky to be reminded in time, otherwise he would have a bad impression on Zhao Yitang. He really didn’t know much about giving gifts in official circles, so he gratefully said to his boss: "Boss, thank you for reminding me. To be honest, I This is my first time giving a gift, haha."
The boss was afraid that Shen Tong would not buy his things, so he hurriedly said: "Buy it first, and then go to the leader's house in the evening. The leader will be happy to see you holding this thing."
After coming out of the supermarket, it was still early, and Shen Tong didn't know where to go for a moment. Thinking that he hadn't seen Lan Yue for a long time, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to call her, so that they could have lunch together and share his joy.
Just as he took out his phone, Shen Tong saw an unread text message. When he opened it, it was actually sent to him by Xu Xia: "Shen Tong, no matter what Guo Weijian said to you, you will always be my favorite person."
