There are always traces to follow in order to cultivate a person.
Ever since Xu Yishan was arranged to attend the Provincial Party School, Liang Guoming felt uncomfortable as if he was blocked.
In fact, the first time Liang Guoming knew about Xu Yishan was when Xu Yishan blew up Hongqiao, went to Beijing to ask Hu Jin for money, and Hu Jin called him to the province to question him.
When Liang Guoming heard the name Xu Yishan, he was still not sure that Xu Yishan was his college classmate Xu Yishan. After all, there are not a few people with the same name and surname in the world.
Based on Liang Guoming's understanding of Xu Yishan, he was sure that Xu Yishan would not be the deputy mayor of a town. There is a brochure beside Liang Guoming. All his classmates from college are on it.
Liang Guoming had done his homework. Among the classmates in that year, he knew exactly who had a family background. Except for one Hu Jin who couldn't find any background information, the background of the rest of the students were all lying in his booklet.
Xu Yishan's family background is very clean, his parents are both farmers, and among all his relatives and friends, there is not even a village head. Judging from Liang Guoming's experience, it is impossible for a person like Xu Yishan who has no foundation to enter the civil service, let alone become an official.
However, as he got to know, it almost knocked his nose off. This Xu Yishan was not just his classmate Xu Yishan, and his affairs had already attracted the attention of Lu Tianming, who was the deputy governor at the time.
When Governor Lu asked him to investigate Xu Yishan's situation, he immediately said: "Boss, there is no need to spend time investigating this person. I know him well."
He told Governor Lu that Xu Yishan was his classmate and some of Xu Yishan's performance in school. He deliberately hinted at Governor Lu, "This person is a single-minded person. He didn't have a good relationship with most of his classmates in the past. The main reason is that this person has a very strange personality, and he doesn't care about people or things. "
It was this sentence that made Governor Lu interested in Xu Yishan.
Later, Governor Lu seemed to ask him unintentionally, "It is said that the friendship between classmates is comparable to the friendship in the war, Xiao Liang, why do I think you are not very friendly to Xu Yishan?"
Since then, Liang Guoming never mentioned Xu Yishan in front of Governor Lu. He couldn't figure out Governor Lu's real intention, so he could only quietly wait and see.
As the leader's secretary, Liang Guoming knows very well that the leader's impression of people is very important. The vast majority of leaders consciously develop their people. This mainly depends on the leader has a permanent goal in mind. It is difficult for a leader to achieve the goal. They train people in the hope that their successor can take over the baton in his hand and continue to finish his uncompetitive career.
In the past, Liang Guoming was the candidate selected by Governor Lu for training. But now, it seems that the direction of the wind has changed a bit, Xu Yishan has a great possibility to replace him.
Liang Guoming drank boldly. As a southerner, he could drink as much as any northerner. And he was very fond of strong alcohol. During his tenure as Governor Lu's secretary, Liang Guoming deliberately concealed his hobby of drinking, and he often did not drink at all in front of Governor Lu. So far, Governor Lu still doesn't know that Liang Guoming is a person who can drink well.
Xu Yishan declined to drink with Liang Guoming, not because he didn't dare, but because he felt that drinking with Liang Guoming would mean cannibalism.
Before coming, Governor Lu specially told him to go to Changning County to have a look, and give Liang Guoming some ideas by the way to help Changning County develop its economy quickly.
He didn't dare to forget Governor Lu's explanation, but he didn't know what to do. Liang Guoming has always been very conceited and proud. When he was in school in the past, Liang Guoming hardly interacted with classmates like Xu Yishan. Liang Guoming once said unabashedly that dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and rats beget holes.
Liang Guoming would never have imagined that Xu Yishan would be as beautiful as he is today. His limelight has pushed him to the ground. In the past, he was shrouded in the halo of the former secretary of the provincial leader, and he was the center of focus wherever he went. It seems to be able to share equal shares with Hu Jin.
Xu Yishan had already drank a lot of alcohol, which was witnessed by everyone. Liang Guoming came up to toast at this time, apparently to respect Xu Yishan, but in fact, he came with the mentality of beating a lame tiger.
Sure enough, after he glanced at the wine glass in Xu Yishan's hand, he smiled disdainfully and said, "This fingernail-sized thing is uncomfortable to use. Yishan, why don't we change to a larger glass?"
Xu Yishan said with a smile: "Guo Ming, let's forget about the big cup. Let's go one by one and order as many as we can."
"How can I do that?" Liang Guoming made a fuss and said, "I won't let you have fun today, as if we Hengyue people are not enthusiastic. No, we must change to a bigger cup."
Xu Yishan reminded him with a smile: "Guoming, I am a native of Hengyue."
Liang Guoming was taken aback, then laughed, "We are all from Hengyue today. Change to a bigger cup!"
The waiter really brought out two large glasses. But in Liang Guoming's opinion, such a big cup is not enough. He frowned and said, "Just take a bowl and drink."
Liang Guoming entangled again and again, as if he was suspected of deliberately embarrassing Xu Yishan. But Hu Jin pretended not to know, he neither stopped nor helped, and let Liang Guoming grab Xu Yishan to mess around.
Just when everyone thought that Xu Yishan would retreat in the face of difficulties, Xu Yishan readily agreed, "Okay, it's rare to see Guoming so forthright. Today I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman."
Those who do good things really find two jobs. If the bowl is filled to the brim, there will be at least half a catty at a time.
Two bowls of rippling white wine were placed in front of him, and many people got up to join in the fun.
Logically speaking, the banquet held by the government should not have the scene of fighting wine in a small street restaurant. However, this scene was actually staged in the VIP hall of the seven-star tree-lined Holiday Hotel.
If someone else had messed around, Hu Jin would definitely reprimand him. Similarly, if it were someone else, no one would dare to force Xu Yishan to drink in front of Hu Jin.
"Let's say it first, after drinking, you are not allowed to go to the bathroom for half an hour." Liang Guoming said the rules: "Whoever goes first, loses."
"Okay!" Xu Yishan reluctantly said: "Why don't I stop drinking, and I'm willing to bow down, what do you think? Guoming."
"The arrow is on the string, why not shoot it?" Liang Guoming took a deep breath, picked up the bowl, and drank the wine in one gulp.
Applause rang out from all around, and there were endless exclamations, "Massive, Secretary Liang is massive."
Liang Guoming had already drunk it, so Xu Yishan had to drink it. He solemnly picked up the bowl with both hands, and brought it to his mouth. He didn't see him making a fuss, and he had already drank the wine in the bowl.
"Both are massive!"
The sound of admiration rose again.
"Brother enough!" Liang Guoming gave a thumbs up and praised: "Old Xu, you are a real person and don't show your face."
Liang Guoming went back to his seat. Seeing him walk away, Hu Jin leaned over to Xu Yishan and said, "Old Xu, Guo Ming must be crazy."
Xu Yishan answered him calmly: "He deliberately set a trap for me."
"Are you okay? If something feels wrong, we're leaving now?"
"It's okay, I can still stand it."
As soon as the words fell, there was only a commotion and exclamation. Xu Yishan and Hu Jin raised their heads to look at the same time, and saw Liang Guoming collapsed under the table like a puddle of mud.
