"As for Deputy Secretary-General Yun, I heard that he was a track and field athlete when he was in school. He participated in the middle- and long-distance running competition organized by the city and even won the championship. He really loves sports."
As Ma Lingyun spoke, Li Xiuyuan toasted him with another glass of wine, then looked at Ma Lingyun jokingly and said, "Brother Ma, isn't this someone deliberately giving in to the leader? Is this winning the championship real?"
Ma Lingyun shook his head. "No one gave him the award. He won it based on his own strength. He really likes running. I heard that he basically takes time out for running every day unless the weather is bad. Most people don't know this. I once got up early and met him on the road... He was very polite and even chatted with me for a while. He said that running can help you relax your body and mind and adjust your thoughts..."
Li Xiuyuan heard that Ma Lingyun's praise of Yun Yanchang was probably because the other party was polite in chatting with him. He felt that this leader respected him, so he praised him a few times.
This is just a subjective judgment, but it is probably true that Yun Yanchang loves running.
"Xiuyuan, I'm telling you, don't disbelieve me. You're so young that you may not be able to outrun others in middle and long-distance races. This is absolutely true." Ma Lingyun said something when he saw that Li Xiuyuan was a little unconvinced.
Li Xiuyuan quickly said, "Believe it, believe it! How can I not believe what Brother Ma said? It seems that Deputy Secretary-General Yun is quite good. Other leaders like to drink and smoke, but he likes running..."
"That's right. Besides running, I heard he also finds time to play badminton..."
It was not known whether this love was true or not, but Li Xiuyuan only dared to guide Ma Lingyun by saying a few words, and then did not ask any further questions. It was too deliberate and would expose his target.
The three of them continued to eat and chat. The dinner, which started around 9:00 a.m., ended around 9:00 a.m. When the dinner was almost over, Li Xiuyuan pretended to ask if it would be easy for the Municipal Party Committee to transfer any staff members from other places back.
He said that a friend asked him to inquire about it. He was away from home and had been tired, so the couple were living apart and wanted to see if he could be transferred back.
There must be a reason to invite Ma Lingyun to dinner. If the real reason cannot be told, then I can only make up another one.
"It's something we can do now or not. If the leaders give the nod, then everything will be done. If there's no leadership, then it will be difficult. There may be such a policy, but there's no need to count on it being implemented.
The easiest way is to come back through the selection..."
Li Xiuyuan looked serious, but his mind was no longer on this. He just nodded casually to indicate that he understood, and the matter was over.
After dinner, when they came out of the restaurant, Lao Ma called a young man from somewhere to help him drive. Li Xiuyuan and Lao Zhu stood at the door and watched Lao Ma leave.
Then the two took a taxi back. After arriving in the county, Li Xiuyuan first sent Lao Zhu home, thanked him again, and finally went home by himself. After returning home, Li Xiuyuan did not rest, but took out his notebook.
First write down what you have gained tonight.
