When the old Taoist priest heard this, his lowered eyes suddenly opened. He shot out two rays of light, with a faint cold breath coming from his body, and said in a deep voice: "You go down the mountain, but no matter whether you can find the cave or not,
Really, you must rush back to the mountain gate in two months, so as not to miss the day to welcome your master out of seclusion."
"Disciple Dongyuan accepts the order." The middle-aged Taoist priest Dongyuan bowed and accepted the order and left.
After leaving the room, Dongyuan walked along the bluestone path towards Wong Tai Sin Hall.
As he approached the back door of Wong Tai Sin Hall, a young Taoist priest walked towards him. This young Taoist priest had deep eyes and a handsome face, but his hooked nose made his handsome face look a bit sinister and arrogant.
Although the oncoming Taoist priest was young, his cultivation level was much better than that of the middle-aged Taoist priest. He was actually in the middle stage of Bigu.
"Senior Brother Dongyuan, where are you going?" The young Taoist priest stopped Dongyuan and asked. Although he called him "Senior Brother", he showed no respect at all and instead seemed to be interrogating.
The look of jealousy and dissatisfaction in Dongyuan's eyes flashed away, but a flattering smile appeared on his face and he said: "As ordered by Master, I will go down the mountain."
"Oh, Uncle Chenluo wants you to go down the mountain?" The young man raised his eyebrows when he heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, then he touched his chin and said in deep thought: "Grandpa, I will be released from seclusion in a while.
The grandson has to prepare some gifts for his old man. But he has never seen any natural treasures. The things I have are all gifts from his old man. Senior brother reminded me, why not just follow you to the secular world?
I would like to find some novel things to present to my grandpa, which will actually reflect my filial piety."
When Dongyuan heard this, he secretly complained in his heart, but he did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face. He just smiled and said: "Junior brother's filial piety is really commendable, but the secular world hides evil and evil. Junior brother is still young now. If it is affected,
, I can’t afford to have my heart of cultivating shaken!”
Hearing this, the young man snorted dissatisfiedly and said: "I am already in the middle stage of fasting, and even the golden elixir stage is only a matter of time. You are only in the early stage of fasting and you are not afraid of the influence of the world. Is my state of mind not as good as yours?"
Humph, although you are extremely talented, how could you have achieved such level of cultivation without the special care of your master? Dong Yuan was secretly angry in his heart, but with a hint of humility on his face he said: "That's that, junior brother, you are
You are a genius that I have never seen in hundreds of years. How can I compare with you, my brother? However, when we, disciples of the Dongzi generation, want to leave the mountain sect, we always need permission from the elders in the sect. Look at this.
…”
There was a look of embarrassment on Dongyuan's face.
"Humph, it's just a trip down the mountain. Why are you so long-winded? Just wait, I'll come as soon as I can." The young Taoist snorted again, turned around and left with a dissatisfied look on his face.
Looking at the young Taoist priest's leaving figure, Dongyuan shook his head helplessly.
Soon after, three people walked out of the somewhat shabby Jinhua audience.
One of them looks like an immortal, and is the master of Jinhua Temple who came out specially to see him off, but in fact he is just an incompetent and incompetent disciple of Jinhua Temple in the back mountain. The other two are in suits and ties, one is middle-aged and the other is young, and their long hair is casual
Tied on the back, it looks very avant-garde. It is Dongming, the direct grandson of Dongyuan and Jinhua Temple.
…
Recently, there have been rumors that Wang Xinmin will succeed Deputy Director Jia in the Department of Science and Technology. There are even rumors that the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee will send people to evaluate Wang Xinmin in the next few days. In response to these rumors, Zhang Huafeng has been in the Department of Science and Technology since that night.
When Wang Xinmin met Wang Xinmin at a banquet with Director Ding and Deputy Minister Li outside the building, he had already known it in his mind. When he heard the people in the hall talking about it privately, apart from being a little disappointed and depressed, his overall mentality was quite peaceful. After all, after all,
After all, Zhang Huafeng is a division-level cadre, and he has seen too much of the ups and downs, intrigues, etc. in official circles. It's just that he was mostly a bystander in the past, but now it is happening to him.
It's just that Zhang Huafeng wants to treat this matter with a normal attitude, but many times things always turn out to be unsatisfactory. Recently, in addition to the fact that Wang Xinmin is going to be promoted to the position of deputy director, there are more and more rumors in the department, Zhang Huafeng has also become a technology
The focus of discussion in the hall is simply that Zhang Huafeng and Wang Xinmin have always been at odds. If Wang Xinmin takes the position of deputy director of the Fund Office, Zhang Huafeng will probably suffer a lot this time. Some even say that Zhang Huafeng is likely to be expelled.
He was transferred out of the Fund Office and transferred to some municipal bureaus to become the head of the government. Serving in a municipal bureau is a kind of experience for some government cadres who are preparing for promotion, which is a good thing, but for Zhang Huafeng, the Fund Office
As far as the director is concerned, it is basically a disguised form of exile.
Zhang Huafeng, who had always been open-minded, originally laughed at such rumors. However, as more and more such rumors spread, not only did his colleagues look at him differently, but even the department leaders also revealed vaguely when talking to him.
When the leader has such an intention, only God knows whether the leader is out of consideration for harmony, to win over the incoming Deputy Director Wang, or to please Deputy Minister Li behind him.
In this way, no matter how good Zhang Huafeng's mentality is, he is still very angry. But the officialdom is like this, and Zhang Huafeng's anger is useless. Unless he is willing to say good things to Wang Xinmin in a low voice, maybe things can turn around.
"Director, I heard that several other department-affiliated units have taken turns inviting Wang Xinmin to dinner these days. Do you think our fund office should also invite him?" Wang Shupeng asked softly in the director's office.
Wang Shupeng is a section chief whom Zhang Huafeng values more, and is mainly responsible for projects in the fields of analytical materials and chemical materials, resources and environmental science.
Zhang Huafeng frowned slightly and did not answer.
Originally, it was okay to invite an incoming deputy director to dinner, but inviting Wang Xinmin to Zhang Huafeng was like swallowing a living fly, which was very awkward and uncomfortable.
Wang Shupeng saw Zhang Huafeng frowning and didn't answer. He hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "Why don't you let Director Zheng come forward to make an appointment with Wang Xinmin?"
The Fund Office has one director, two deputy directors, and three directors. Director Zheng mentioned by Wang Shupeng is one of the deputy directors.
Zhang Huafeng suddenly raised his head when he heard this, with a hint of anger on his face.
When Wang Shupeng saw this, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Director, no matter what, I will firmly support you! But now that the matter has come to this, why should we compete with a villain like Wang Xinmin! Logically speaking, after the fund is established, it will be
It is under the charge of Wang Xinmin. Some other department-affiliated units specially invited Wang Xinmin to dinner. If we don’t say anything..."
Wang Shupeng wanted to continue, but Zhang Huafeng waved his hand. How could Zhang Huafeng not know what Wang Shupeng wanted to say next?
Others have invited Zhang Huafeng. Isn't it because Zhang Huafeng didn't invite you because he didn't want to sell Wang Xinmin's face? Didn't he tell the department leader that they were at odds with each other and that there would be problems at work in the future? If the department leader really thinks so, then Zhang Huafeng might really want to ask for it.
Was transferred out of the fund office.
Not to mention how much effort Zhang Huafeng of the Fund Office has put in, but just saying that now that he has a family and a family, if he really wants to be transferred to the municipal bureau, it is definitely not something he can be free and easy.
Wang Shupeng is right, things have come to this, he is definitely going to be the deputy director now, so what can I do if I compete with him? It will only make people laugh at me for not overestimating my own abilities, and laugh at me for not knowing how to advance or retreat!
"Forget it, I'll make an appointment with him in person." Zhang Huafeng smiled bitterly and said to Wang Shupeng who was hesitant to speak.
Wang Shupeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was determined to stand up to Zhang Huafeng, if Zhang Huafeng really wanted to stand up to the incoming Deputy Director Wang, he might be the one who would really suffer. After all, Zhang Huafeng was a division-level cadre.
I'm afraid Wang Xinmin is a little behind in trying to deal with him, but trying to deal with Wang Shupeng is still just a joke.
…
Shangri-La Hotel by West Lake.
The three directors of the Provincial Natural Science Foundation Office and some middle-level cadres, surrounded by Wang Xinmin who looked like a villain, walked through the door and walked to the lobby.
Wang Xinmin chatted and laughed with the two deputy directors accompanying him from time to time, showing a complete leadership style. As for Zhang Huafeng, the director, Wang Xinmin seemed to have completely forgotten his existence and left him alone. Even if Zhang Huafeng wanted to interrupt, he would not
I just dealt with it a few words calmly.
Looking at Wang Xinmin's bald head shining brightly under the light of the lobby, his fat old face was shaking proudly, and then looking at the fawning faces of the two deputy directors of the Fund Office, Zhang Huafeng's smile was a little stiff.
Not to mention how uncomfortable I feel in my heart.
Zhang Huafeng is still very popular in the fund office. Most of the middle-level cadres who followed him felt quite uncomfortable when they saw Wang Xinmin deliberately making Zhang Huafeng look bad. But what can it do? People at the official level can be crushed to death, even their heads.
They have to hold back their breath, and they department-level cadres have to hold it in even more conscientiously.
"Director Zhang, what Gao Xuan said makes sense. Your fund office's supervision of major projects is still insufficient and needs to be strengthened!" Just when Zhang Huafeng felt very uncomfortable, Wang Xinmin suddenly turned to him and said.
The Gao Xuan mentioned by Wang Xinmin is another deputy director of the Fund Office. They competed for the position of director of the Fund Office back then, but in the end Zhang Huafeng was not chosen by him, so Gao Xuan has always had a problem with Zhang Huafeng. But Zhang Huafeng is
The top leader, Gao Xuan, usually doesn't dare to act too much even if he has any objections. He only dares to make small moves occasionally. Now that Wang Xinmin is about to be promoted to the position of deputy director, Wang Xinmin and Zhang Huafeng have never been on good terms, so Gao Xuan immediately leaned towards him.
Wang Xinmin has been visiting Wang Xinmin's office a lot during this time. As for Wang Xinmin, the quasi-deputy director, if he wants to truly control the fund management business, he will naturally need people like Gao Xuan to check and balance Zhang Huafeng, so he is naturally recruiting him.
.
Zhang Huafeng was well aware of Wang Xinmin's affair with Gao Xuan, but he didn't expect Wang Xinmin to be so impatient. Before he took office, he started praising Gao Xuan and suppressing himself in front of so many people. His expression could not help but change several times, and his heart
There was a burst of fire.
The others also saw the subtlety, and they all looked at Zhang Huafeng with complicated eyes, not knowing how he would respond, because Zhang Huafeng himself was responsible for major projects of the fund, while Gao Xuan was in charge before.
