After all, this is your own business, how can you force others to share your burden?
He knew that in this kind of relationship where interests are paramount, when he was powerful, they would naturally come to him. But once he lost power, it would be a waste of time to maintain the relationship, and there would be no real feelings at all.
Although this reality was cruel and sad, he had to accept it.
He smiled bitterly and said self-deprecatingly, "I'm sorry, I can't keep things to myself. I hope I didn't ruin your fun."
Wu Aiguo curled his lips secretly, but his face was still enthusiastic. "What are you talking about, Weihua? We are all family. If you are in a bad mood, we can't be happy either. How can you say it affects us? Come, sit down and talk."
Zhao Chengqiang also stood up and hurriedly pulled out a chair for Jiang Weihua.
The sadness on Jiang Weihua's face faded a little. He nodded slightly and then sat down.
Seeing this, Zhao Chengqiang tactfully sent all the girls out of the room. After sitting down again, he diligently filled Jiang Weihua's glass with wine.
The three of them clinked glasses in silence.
After drinking a glass, Jiang Weihua felt that his sorrow was not relieved at all. He raised his head, picked up the two-liang wine decanter, and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhao Chengqiang and Wu Aiguo were so shocked by his heroic manner of drinking that their eyes widened and they were speechless for a moment.
But they soon realized that Jiang Weihua was under too much pressure and urgently needed to drown his sorrows in alcohol.
Putting down the wine glass, Jiang Weihua looked around at the two of them, smiled bitterly and said, "Old Zhao, Brother Wu, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the county for much longer, and I won't be able to help you in the future. This drink can be regarded as a farewell drink, and also as our farewell drink."
When Wu Aiguo heard this, he immediately understood that the conflict between Jiang Weihua and Li Lin must have reached an irreconcilable point and they could no longer stay in the county.
Maybe he applied for transfer on his own initiative, or maybe Li Lin wanted to drive him away.
Zhao Chengqiang sighed, pretending to be regretful on the surface, but secretly laughing at himself in his heart, Jiang Weihua, is this all you are capable of? You can't handle such a small setback? I really overestimated you.
After a moment's silence, Wu Aiguo advised, "Weihua, things haven't come to that point yet! Li Lin just took office and he must want to establish his authority. We are unlucky and have run into trouble. But I don't think this matter is as serious as you think. You have been in charge of construction in the county for so many years and have handled many important projects, many of which are still under construction. If you leave, who will take over this mess? Li Lin must have weighed the consequences of transferring you away."
Zhao Chengqiang also echoed hypocritically, "Yes, brother Jiang, everyone knows that you have been in charge of all the major projects in the county over the years. If you leave, won't those projects that are being promoted be shelved? This will be a huge loss for the county. Besides, don't you have Mayor Zhang backing you up? As long as he says a word, can Li Lin not give him face?"
When Jiang Weihua heard Zhang Yi's name, his eyelids twitched twice.
This was the deepest pain in his heart. The supporter he had always been proud of had abandoned him so easily.
If Zhao Chengqiang and Wu Aiguo knew about this, wouldn't they look down on him?
Jiang Weihua pretended to be calm, smiled, and said casually, "Of course. No matter how powerful Li Lin is, how can he not take Mayor Zhang seriously? But it's just a small matter, there's no need to trouble Mayor Zhang. And with Mayor Zhang here, even if I really get transferred, maybe I can get a promotion."
"oh?"
When Wu Aiguo and Zhao Chengqiang heard this, their eyes lit up instantly, thinking that Jiang Weihua was really capable, and he could actually get promoted by this matter? It seems that he really can't be underestimated.
The two of them tacitly put away their previous contempt for Jiang Weihua, and their attitudes suddenly became much more enthusiastic, and they began to flatter him non-stop, "Brother Jiang, you are really amazing, your background is really strong!" "Brother Jiang, this is a blessing in disguise, it is worth celebrating!"...
Jiang Weihua felt the 180-degree turn in the two people's attitudes and laughed coldly in his heart.
He thought to himself, these two people are really unreliable, they are both fence-sitters who change their attitude according to the wind and are extremely hypocritical.
Wu Aiguo continued with a smile, "Weihua, if that's the case, why are you still unhappy? Come, let's continue drinking! Tomorrow I will go see Secretary Liu and ask him to say a few good words for you in front of Li Lin. It's better to keep you in Shannan. The three of us can still get together to drink and chat as before. It's so comfortable. If you are transferred away, President Zhao's Yunmeng Villa will be much more deserted."
Zhao Chengqiang also said, "Yes, brother Jiang, my villa will be dull without your support. Tomorrow I will contact a few good brothers in the province and ask them to help you speak up. It's better to stay in Shannan to develop. You have worked hard in Shannan for so many years and built a kingdom. It's a pity to give up so easily. And we are friends. Are you willing to leave us?"
Jiang Weihua listened to these high-sounding words and knew in his heart that this so-called help was just a perfunctory response to him.
Smart people like to add icing on the cake, but what he needs most now is timely help.
He had completely seen through Zhao Chengqiang and Wu Aiguo, and felt extremely chilled by their hypocrisy and selfishness.
But what can he do?
In this complex officialdom and interest entanglements, he is like a lonely boat that has lost its direction, not knowing where to go, and can only struggle alone in this vortex full of falsehood and calculation.
Just at this moment, his cell phone made a "ding" sound, indicating a text message.
County leaders all pay attention to text messages, because many important things are inconvenient to talk about and are all conveyed through a text message.
He quickly took out his cell phone and looked at it.
When I saw the content of text messages sent from an unfamiliar number, I felt like I was struck by lightning.
There were only a few cold words on it - the city has decided to audit your term of office, so make plans early!
He held the phone for a long time, looking incredulous...
A series of question marks appeared in my mind. Why did they suddenly audit him?
Why at this time? Who is behind this? ...
He realized the seriousness of the matter, and quickly got up and walked out of the house, found an empty corner, and called Zhang Yi.
"Beep beep beep..." The phone was connected, but no one answered.
He called Liu Yong again, but again, no one answered.
He suddenly felt a chill spreading from the soles of his feet to his entire body, and he couldn't help but tremble... He thought, it's over!
