Although he comforted me like this, I still had doubts in my heart. I always felt that I couldn't take it lightly, so I continued, "That being said, we still have to be prepared for any eventuality. It's always better to make more preparations. Chief Tian, I'll have to trouble you to help me with this matter. If you have any news, please let me know in time."
Section Chief Tian was quite straightforward and agreed immediately: "Don't worry about this. The Municipal Party Committee Organization Department came here with a mission and the higher-ups have already made arrangements. Even if someone really wants to do something bad behind the scenes and express different opinions, we are all in the system and know the rules. We won't go too far or make things look too ugly. However, Guan Ren, you have to be more careful about the public disclosure process. These days, an anonymous report call may ruin things, so you have to be on guard."
I quickly responded, "Okay, Chief Tian, I'll take note of what you said. When this matter is settled, I will definitely treat you to a nice meal, and we'll have a good reunion and thank you very much."
Section Chief Tian laughed on the other end of the phone and said half-jokingly, "You will be the leader of the county by then. I'm really afraid I won't be lucky enough to drink your wine."
I said sincerely, "Chief Tian, I rely on you for help at critical moments. No matter how far I go in the future or how high my official position is, I will never forget a brother like you."
When Section Chief Tian heard what I said, he seemed a little moved, and his tone became even warmer: "Don't worry, brother! In public and private, as long as I can contribute, I will definitely spare no effort and definitely get things done for you properly."
After hanging up the phone with Section Chief Tian, my tense nerves finally relaxed a little and I let out a long sigh of relief. Many thoughts were surging in my mind, and the most urgent thing at the moment was to have a good chat with Wang Yanshu. So I picked up my phone and sent her a text message: "Is it convenient? I have something important to do and want to see you in person."
After sending the text message, I quietly waited for a reply, my eyes subconsciously looking out the window, my thoughts drifting away. After a while, the phone screen lit up and Wang Yanshu replied: "I'm in a meeting. See you tonight."
Looking at this short reply, I knew what was going on. I gently placed the phone on the table and leaned back, sinking deeply into the back of the chair. I looked into the distance, at the vast world outside the window. In the distance, in the blue sky like a treasure, a few white clouds like cotton candy were floating leisurely and freely, like the most comfortable existence in the world. Looking at the clouds, a line from Gu Cheng's poem suddenly flashed through my mind: "When you look at me, I am very far away; when you look at the clouds, they are very close."
I don't know why, this poem is like a thin needle, piercing the softest place in my heart. In an instant, a strong feeling of longing surged like a surging tide, surging in my heart, making me miss Chen Mengzhao so much. I knew very well that if she hadn't pleaded with her father and helped me with all his strength, I would have missed this rare opportunity for promotion and would have continued to wander on the road of life.
I will always remember this kindness in my heart, but I don’t know how to repay it. With a heart full of gratitude, I picked up my phone again and sent a text message to Chen Mengzhao: "I don't need to thank you for your kindness. I will always remember this kindness in my heart."
After sending the message, I held the phone and waited quietly. Soon, her reply came: "Congratulations, you deserve this through your own efforts."
Seeing this reply, my heart was filled with warmth. Just as I was about to put down my phone, another text message from her popped up on the screen: "Hold the rear steady, and don't let anything go wrong again."
When I saw this message, I instantly understood what she was referring to. The incident of Xu Tong taking the medicine has been like a heavy weight on my mind. I immediately replied: "Don't worry, I will keep it in mind and never let something like this happen again."
