Perfect Feast

Chapter 587: Bitter

Views:

Turning over and lying on the bed, he was thinking about what Zhao Jingjing meant, but he couldn't figure it out after much thought.

I fell asleep in a daze, and when I woke up, it was already bright. He raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist. It was already seven fifty.

Liu Yang sat up, put on his clothes and got out of bed. He hurriedly went to the bathroom to fill the water and wash up. When he went downstairs to leave with his bag under his arm, he suddenly realized that Hu Xiaohong had arrived behind him at some unknown time.

Seeing Liu Yang turning his head, Hu Xiaohong chuckled and said, "Hey, I kept the guest room door open and waited for you all night last night. Are you too cruel?"

Liu Yang's face sank and he said coldly: "Hu Xiaohong, this is my home. You must respect the owner of this home, and you must respect yourself..."

"You..." When Liu Yang said this, Hu Xiaohong finally blushed, with a look of embarrassment and anger on her face: "I have worked hard for you, and you miss me this much?"

"What do you have to complain about? This is a 'gentleman's agreement' between us. If you don't want to, you can leave now. Besides, don't think I don't know, my wife gave you 10% Regarding the shares of Dayang Group, you are not working for me, you are also working for yourself." Liu Yang looked at her coldly, smiled and said, "This is different from our previous agreement, isn't it? I think you You should be satisfied.”

It was agreed at the beginning that Hu Xiaohong would help Zhao Jingjing work for free, and that she would just take care of the food and not pay her wages. Now you have given Dayang 10% of the shares, which is far beyond the content of the "agreement". What else do you want

Hu Xiaohong was stunned by Liu Yang's words, and she didn't know what to say.

However, Liu Yang hadn't finished speaking yet. He looked at Hu Xiaohong and said again seriously: "Ten percent of Dayang Group's shares are not too much, but not too much. No matter how much you are worth now, You can be considered a billionaire. But don’t get carried away. No matter how much money you have, I’ll take care of you in just a matter of minutes.”

After finishing speaking, Liu Yang opened the door of the living room and walked out. Hu Xiaohong clenched her fists angrily behind him, kicked her hard in the air, and said angrily: "The dog bit Lu Dongbin..."

From last night to today, this is the second time a woman has said this to herself. Liu Yang simply pretended not to hear and still walked out.

Who would have thought that Hu Xiaohong's volley kick was still one or two meters away from Liu Yang's back, so it stands to reason that her toes couldn't reach Liu Yang's back at all. But who knew that when she kicked her out, the slippers she was wearing flew out with a whoosh...

Liu Yang looked back and saw that what was shot in his back was a pink plastic slipper with a sunflower disk. Looking at Hu Xiaohong's raised pink and tender snow-white feet, Liu Yang suddenly had a black line on his forehead.

He turned around and walked back, grabbed Hu Xiaohong who was still on the sofa, raised his hand and slapped her plump buttocks twice: "If you don't want to die, just give me an honest..."

"Liu Yang, you bastard, please remember... Ouch..." Hu Xiaohong not only did not give in, but she was still getting angry.

"Ahem..." At this time, Zhao Jingjing walked out of the kitchen and looked at Liu Yang and Hu Xiaohong pressing him on the sofa. The expression on his face did not change at all. He coughed lightly and saw that Liu Yang's attention was attracted, and then asked softly: "I made millet porridge, do you want to finish the meal before leaving?"

"Uh... no, I'm late for work..." After saying that, Liu Yang ran away with his bag under his arm.

"Mr. Zhao, it's very difficult for me to complete this task you taught me..." After hearing the sound of the living room door closing, Hu Xiaohong stood up, rubbed her butt, and said with a grimace.

"Xiaomei, lock Manager Hu in the guest room to reflect. You are not allowed to eat today." Zhao Jingjing looked at her with a half-smile, but raised her voice and called out Xiaomei from the kitchen.

Xiaomei is Zhao Jingjing's loyal thug. She doesn't care who Hu Xiaohong is. As long as Zhao Jingjing gives the order, she will do it.

"Ah? Mr. Zhao, I did everything according to your request? What did I do wrong?" Hu Xiaohong was shocked when Xiaomei grabbed her shoulders and dragged her into the guest room, and asked repeatedly.

Zhao Jingjing just waved her hand at Xiaomei: "Drag her in... I'll tell you, you did nothing wrong. I am happy to do this, okay? Xiaomei, if she is not honest, tie her up with a rope... "

"No, I'll go by myself." Before Zhao Jingjing could finish her words, Hu Xiaohong started laughing: "Mr. Zhao, what are you afraid of?"

"Hu Xiaohong, can you say it again?" The smile on Zhao Jingjing's face disappeared, and her voice became extremely cold.

However, Hu Xiaohong walked to the guest room and said with a smile: "I didn't say anything? Mr. Zhao, you should understand what I said... haha..."

"This fox..." This was the first time that Zhao Jingjing cursed someone like this. However, her voice was very soft, so soft that only she could hear it.

The cadre adjustment work involves many important departments, such as the Reform Commission, the Finance Bureau, the Transportation Bureau, the Public Security Bureau, etc. Under the current severe situation, when it comes to selecting a leader in this department, no standing committee member who is well fed dares to compete with Liu Yang. However, the deputy positions of these important departments still affect the hearts of many people.

Some time ago, when the Organization Department conducted a surprise review of the qualifications of middle-level cadres in the city, some people were already interested. Yesterday, Zhu Jianjun sent Liu Yang investigation information, but it was leaked from nowhere. Otherwise, how could it be said that agencies and units have no secrets to keep

As soon as Liu Yang entered the office building today, he heard some people talking quietly. This also reminded Liu Yang that since everyone already knew about this matter, it would be better to do it sooner rather than later. Another point is that we must be cautious in personnel selection.

After entering the office, Liu Yang asked Lu Zhihua to issue a notice to summon Li Yibin, Zhu Jianjun, and Pei Wenjie to his office for a meeting, mainly to finalize the list as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Jianjun came one step earlier than Pei Wenjie. He held a fax document in his hand and said with a smile: "Secretary Liu, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and deputy mayor of the Standing Committee have been decided by the province. Today the province has decided The Organization Department of the Party Committee will send the new deputy mayor to the Standing Committee to take office. This is the fax just received... "

As he spoke, he handed the document in his hand to Liu Yang.

"Well, after calculating the time, it's almost settled..." Liu Yang smiled and took it and glanced at it, but he couldn't help being stunned.

Sun Qingmei returned to Binhai City to become the deputy mayor and join the Standing Committee. He had already known about this. But who would have known that the first thing written on this faxed document was his name: "After study and decision by the Provincial Party Committee, Comrade Liu Yang was appointed as (concurrently) Secretary of the Binhai Municipal Law Committee..."

this? What's going on

Seeing this resignation, Liu Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly. After thinking about it, he knew that this was Xu Zonglin's contribution. At the beginning, he did not reject or agree to this suggestion, he just said that he should consider it.

Is Xu Zonglin fulfilling his promise

But now times have changed, and he has become the number one person in Binhai City. This is already extraordinary enough in itself, and there is really no need to add icing on the cake. What Xu Zonglin did was somewhat unnecessary.

But the fact that the Provincial Committee actually approved his proposal couldn't help but surprise Liu Yang.

Originally, Zhu Jianjun thought that this result was achieved by Liu Yang himself, and he was still a little bit dissatisfied. But now when I saw Liu Yang's expression, I realized that I was wrong.

After thinking about it, Zhu Jianjun smiled and said: "Secretary Liu, this is a good thing no matter what. It shows the trust of the provincial party committee in you..."

Liu Yang smiled bitterly: "Yes, I know this. But for me personally, it's like walking on thin ice with trepidation!"

"Oh? How could it be? Although we haven't worked together for a long time, I absolutely believe in your ability to work." Zhu Jianjun asked in confusion, and gave Liu Yang a small slap in the face.

The smile on Liu Yang's face turned even more bitter as he said: "There is no false scholar under the great reputation. What I am afraid of is that it will be difficult to maintain it if it is too prosperous!"

Hearing Liu Yang say this, Zhu Jianjun's face darkened, his face was thoughtful, but he did not dare to say any more.

The sentence "It's hard to hold on to the great prosperity" comes from the chapter "Mozi - The Relatives".

"Now there are five awls, and those who hit them will be defeated first. There are five swords, and those who make mistakes will be defeated first. Therefore, the sweet well is close to exhaustion, the wood is close to cutting down, the turtle is close to burning, and the divine snake is close to violent. . Therefore, Bigan's death was due to his resistance; Meng Ben's killing was due to his bravery; Xi Shi's sinking was due to his beauty; Wu Qi's split was due to his deeds. Therefore, those who were outnumbered did not lose their strengths, so they said: Tai Sheng It’s hard to defend.”

Earlier in this passage, Mozi had been talking about the importance of getting close to the wise men and listening to the opinions of the wise, and finally concluded that "returning a national treasure is not as good as dedicating talents to becoming scholars." The center of the topic has always been clear. But this passage suddenly changed the topic. It uses the metaphor of sharp weapons breaking first, sharp knives destroying first, sweet wells approaching exhaustion, and recruiting trees approaching cutting down. It also lists Bigan, Meng Bi, Xi Shi, and Wu Qi as examples, saying that these people are few. Not because of their strengths. Finally, it was concluded that "it is too prosperous to defend".

This passage continues from "Returning a national treasure is not as good as dedicating one's talents to becoming a scholar", and continues from "Although there is a virtuous king, he does not love his ministers who have no merit", which is a very important transition. On the one hand, wise men are more precious than national treasures; but on the other hand, why are there so few wise men? Because it is always the virtuous and good people who are injured. If things go on like this, who will dare to be the virtuous and good people anymore? I'm just afraid that scholar culture will sink into ruins.

Based on this line of thought, "Mozi" was worried about the situation of moral scholars and worried that there were fewer and fewer wise men, so he lamented that "too much prosperity is difficult to maintain."

This passage is not addressed to the scholars, but to the rulers. Its purpose is to remind the rulers to reflect on the reason why there are so few wise men.

With this passage, Mozi can introduce the following key words, which is: "the way of concurrent king".

In this passage, Mozi listed the stories of four people: Bigan, Meng Bi, Xi Shi, and Wu Qi. Bigan was killed because a soldier who aspired to the Dao met a violent king. Meng Ben was killed because of his great strength and his crime. Xi Shi sinks into the river, just because she is born with beauty that cannot be given up, and she must die if she is a beautiful woman. Wu Qi died because King Chu Dao appointed him to implement reforms in order to strive for world supremacy. As a result, he lost his virtue and made too many enemies.

The different causes of death of these four people all hinted at the root cause of "too prosperous to defend", but also vaguely hinted that the rulers would not use wise men.

How dare Zhu Jianjun accept this
