Chapter 26 Secret Talk
"Secretary Liao, I apologize for the poor hospitality."
The tone was as gentle as reminiscing about the past, but it made Secretary Liao feel extremely nervous.
He placed the teacup in his hand on the coffee table.
His eyes fell on the sofa opposite for a second before he looked away.
Lin Zhizhou was leaning back comfortably on the sofa, the teacup in front of him untouched.
His aura should not be underestimated, and his abilities are unfathomable.
Secretary Liao was thinking over and over again, and was just thinking about how to start the conversation.
Lin Zhizhou said calmly: "Secretary Liao, don't think too much. Today we are just talking to each other."
Secretary Liao nodded, but he didn't think so in his heart. Who would have no problem chatting here in the middle of the night?
Be fully prepared to deal with it.
Then came the unhurried voice from the other side: "Secretary Liao should know that during my four years working in Yunnan Province, my subordinates nicknamed me 'Irresolute and Impartial, Inhumane.'"
Secretary Liao quickly leaned over and said respectfully, "Team Leader Lin is working for the welfare of the people—"
Lin Zhizhou interrupted him: "I can't accept such flattery. Let's not say such lies today. My grandfather specifically told me before we went to Sichuan."
"As long as we don't make mistakes of principle, we should use courtesy before force."
After he finished speaking, Secretary Liao felt relieved.
It seems that today is really just a 'heart-to-heart talk.'
Although I don’t know who this old man is, I think he must be no simple character.
Because he had someone investigate, and the files were encrypted, there was nothing to find.
He smiled and replied: "The old man is so kind and benevolent that Sichuan people are ashamed of him."
The next second, I felt something was wrong.
You must stand at attention when you are beaten.
Then he turned slightly to Lin Zhizhou and spoke respectfully, his attitude very humble: "Thank you for your attention. Please give me some guidance, Team Leader Lin."
The other party did not respond.
The space was briefly quiet.
Lin Zhizhou leaned forward, reached out to pick up the teacup on the coffee table, and took a sip.
Still can't get used to it.
Return along the same route.
He took the brown paper file bag on the table and glanced at Secretary Liao.
He pinched the twine on the paper bag with his fingers, and casually wrapped it around and around.
Secretary Liao’s achievements during his seven years in office came to my mind.
He is average and his political achievements are mediocre.
I wondered in my heart, these didn't look like the soldiers led by Xu Minyi, the former drastic secretary of Jiangcheng City.
A frame of picture came in, it was of the old secretary Xu Minyi, the old man I had met at noon.
Even after many years of retirement, one can still see the wisdom, integrity and selflessness hidden in his eyes.
If he is given a few more years, it might be possible to take Jiangcheng's economy to the next level.
Unfortunately, there are no fish in clear water.
The renovation of the South City New District that was carried out against all odds ten years ago affected the interests of too many people.
It affects most people's cake.
Lin Zhizhou expressed regret, asking how the interests of the masses can always be put first?
Thought-provoking.
Think about this.
Lin Zhizhou thought of the flower necklace the little woman made at the old secretary's place at noon.
He reached into his trouser pocket, took out a handful of yellow orchids and placed them on the coffee table.
Sure enough, just as she said, it was wilted.
The corners of his mouth curled up in an imperceptible arc.
Secretary Liao saw Lin Zhizhou with an unclear expression take out a handful of yellow orchids from his purse.
I was a little surprised, but I suppressed my curiosity.
The leader’s preferences are not judged.
The slight rustling of paper and a gentle voice broke the silence in the room.
"How many years did Secretary Liao stay with Secretary Xu?"
Secretary Liao didn't know why Lin Zhizhou asked about the old secretary at this time.
He said truthfully: "Six years, no more, no less."
Thinking of the old secretary's teachings in the past, he felt quite ashamed.
None of them met the standards.
Lin Zhizhou nodded, his eyes falling on his personal information, the university he graduated from was 'Kyoto University'.
A century-old prestigious school with a long history and profound culture.
If we go back thirty years, graduating from Peking University could be considered a top student.
What impressed Lin Zhizhou most about Peking University was the 13th president, Mr. Cai.
The first Minister of Education of the Republic of China.
A photo of my great-grandfather and this literary giant hangs in a central spot in Kyoto Linyuan's study.
Extremely precious.
I miss you.
He said: "Secretary Liao graduated from Peking University, so he must be unique and talented. May I ask, what made you choose to go into politics?"
The voice was calm and the atmosphere was much softer.
Secretary Liao put away his serious expression and a hint of nostalgia appeared on his face.
The campus life at Peking University can be said to be the happiest time in life.
There is no intrigue or deception between people, only healthy competition among students.
Peking University adheres to Mr. Cai's educational philosophy of "freedom of thought and inclusiveness."
It also integrates "patriotism, democracy, progress and science" into teaching.
He was deeply influenced by this. As a young man of eighteen or nineteen, he had a sincere heart to serve his country.
He returned to the land he loved with full of passion.
He vowed to raise the living standards of the people of Jiangcheng to a higher level.
However, things are unpredictable.
He looked ashamed again, his voice becoming more profound. "For all these years, since I graduated from Peking University, I have always respected Mr. Cai's teaching philosophy. But as you know, Team Leader Lin, the world is changing, and I am now alone in this difficult situation."
In other words, this minority of people can hardly move forward.
"Oh, I don't think so." The young man retorted.
"You've been with the old secretary for six years, so you should be able to appreciate his good intentions. If I'm not mistaken, you were able to reach the top three years after the old secretary retired. I think the old secretary must have been behind the scenes."
"The secretaries sent down from the four provinces are actually there to guide you. They will be transferred after their three-year terms, and then you will take over."
"The old secretary must have put in a lot of effort."
After saying that, he looked up, his eyes were as black as the reefs on the seabed, unfathomable.
Look directly at Secretary Liao.
Secretary Liao felt mixed emotions when he heard these words, and muttered in a muffled voice, "I have truly failed the old secretary's trust."
I am extremely ashamed.
The tea in front of the two of them.
Lin Zhizhou retracted his gaze, poured the cold tea into the trash can, and replaced it with hot tea.
He said: "Secretary Liao should have suffered a lot from Feng Sheng's criticism. Now, why not take this opportunity to deal with him?"
Upon hearing this, the person on the other side suddenly looked up, his eyes showing shock and excitement: "Team Leader Lin, what does this mean?"
Secretary Liao wanted to call him "Brother Zhizhou" at this time.
Just as Yuan Zhongdao wrote in "Deshan Bids Farewell to Yang Xilai", "Life is precious with a close friend, and friendship never ends early."
Although his confidant arrived late, he was a person of great background.
Although he is old, his heart is boiling with passion at this moment, as if he has returned to the heroic moment when he swore an oath to join the party.
The mighty oaths came rushing out from the wisps of tea mist.
"I voluntarily join the Communist Party of China... I am always ready to sacrifice everything for the Party and the people and will never betray the Party."
Secretary Liao's eyes, which had been dull in the past, suddenly brightened up and became as sharp as torches.
Lin Zhizhou stood up and walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window. His body was as straight as a pine tree. With his back to Secretary Liao, he looked down from the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
It was midnight, and the streets were sparsely populated, with only a few cars speeding past.
People, the people.
Take from the people and use it for the people.
Seems to have some insights.
He turned and spoke, "The four lines on the horizontal pillar are: 'Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the lost knowledge of the ancient sages, and bring peace to the world for all eternity.' This is the motto of the university I graduated from, and I always keep it in mind."
The man's voice is flat and deep, full of power.
As he finished speaking, he sat back on the sofa, crossing his long legs casually, looking comfortable and casual.
He continued, "Now that I am the head of the inspection team, I naturally have a heavy responsibility. Secretary Liao should understand that all we can do in the purge is to make only a small dent. To truly purge, you will need to forge a steel plate yourself."
"The tooth decay has been there for too long. Simply picking out the worms won't work. We need to extract the tooth. A short pain is worse than a long one. Secretary Liao, what do you think?"
His words were calm and steady, and every word was precious.
Secretary Liao's expression changed suddenly. He stood up and bowed respectfully to Lin Zhizhou.
As he stood up, Lin Zhizhou also stood up and moved aside to avoid him.
"Team Leader Lin, Liao knows what to do."
He stretched out both hands and held Lin Zhizhou's right hand solemnly.
Lin Zhizhou smiled and said: "Everything is for the people."
That’s the end of the conversation.
Secretary Liao bids farewell.
Lin Zhizhou walked him to the door. Secretary Chen heard the noise and followed Secretary Liao downstairs.
The two of them exchanged pleasantries.
Secretary Liao couldn't resist Secretary Chen's enthusiasm.
Five minutes later, Secretary Chen returned to Lin Zhizhou's suite and sorted out the documents and put them away properly.
When he was about to leave, Lin Zhizhou suddenly stopped him and said, "Come and look at a car."
In case it is inconvenient to drive a company car for a date.
Secretary Chen nodded in agreement and rolled his eyes where Lin Zhizhou couldn't see.
Boss, don't be too sentimental when the time comes.
The door opens.
Secretary Chen was surprised.
A half-cooked face.
He politely called out, "Miss Xu."
