Huo Qianli did not laugh, but shook his head gently. "Being able to change is worthy of respect. It is our mission to serve as an official and benefit the people."
Wang Anquan turned his head and glanced at the wall, where there were some words that were not worthy of being displayed in public: [Serve the people and benefit the people while in office].
"Yeah! I think so too. It's rare to have a moment of conscience in a lifetime, so we should not waste it."
Wang Anquan lit another cigarette and squinted his eyes as he said, "But, I don't have your ability, I don't have Secretary Zheng's power, and I don't have such a strong mass base. It's difficult!"
"I held on for two years. I can say that during these two years, I was truly a good official. But at that time, I also realized that such a thing was not that difficult."
He sighed, "But it was Qin Shan who really crushed the shaky faith in my heart."
Huo Qianli frowned.
Wang Anquan sipped his lips, "Being a good cadre and wanting to make progress shouldn't conflict, right? In fact, we all worked together in the beginning, thinking that if we did a good job, we would gain both fame and fortune. Those two years were hard, and the secretary suppressed us, but there was nothing we could do. However, I watched Qin Shan rise like a rocket from a village cadre to deputy mayor, and then more than a year ago, he competed with me for the mayor."
Wang Anquan looked at Huo Qianli and exhaled a long puff of smoke, "He won."
"Forget it!" Wang Anquan pressed another cigarette butt into the ashtray, and the spark went out, just like the fire in his heart turned into gray and black residue.
"Zhou Gui and his gang approached me a long time ago, but I ignored them. Later, I saw through it and came to terms with it, so I reluctantly agreed."
Huo Qianli looked at him, "Do you regret it?"
"Regret it!" Wang Anquan shook his head and smiled bitterly, but his mind was firm. "If I really regret anything, it's that if I knew you were coming again, I might not have gone into the water."
Huo Qianli sighed.
Wang Anquan raised his head and looked straight at Huo Qianli, "I have something, can I trouble you to help me?"
"you say."
"My son is just a freshman..."
"Don't worry. I'll help you take care of him."
"Thank you."
Wang Anquan nodded, took out a cigarette and lit it, "When are we leaving?"
Huo Qianli picked up the teacup and raised it towards him.
Wang Anquan understood, raised his cup, clinked it together, drank it all, and said with a smile: "I don't know when I will be able to drink such good tea again."
Wearing a silver bracelet and wrapping himself in clothes, Wang Anquan walked out with the "support" of two county discipline inspection commission staff members.
Before leaving, he turned around.
"Brother Huo?"
"Um?"
"Be a good official."
"good."
"must."
"must!"
