Sending off the guests from Yanbei Province, Liang Guoming invited Xu Yishan to his permanent private room in the hotel.
After being transferred to Shancheng, Liang Guoming has been living in the hotel. His secretary, a smart-looking young man, poured them tea and went out into the living room outside.
"Old Xu, we have been classmates and colleagues for several years. It seems that we have never had the opportunity to chat alone." Liang Guoming sighed and said, "Today, let us open our hearts and talk about life."
Xu Yishan smiled and said: "Indeed. The main reason is that Guoming is too busy. You can't find opportunities."
Liang Guoming looked at him in surprise and said: "Old Xu, you can't say that. Don't you know if I'm busy or not. I'm afraid the main reason is something else? Let me tell you the truth, you and Lao Hu get along very well. Now, you two have something to say."
When Xu Yishan heard his words, he seemed to vaguely understand some of the meaning of his words. Liang Guoming seems to be jealous of his close relationship with Hu Jin.
"Today we are purely chatting between brothers, without any meaning or purpose." Liang Guoming said openly: "Old Xu, do you agree with my point of view?"
"Of course." Xu Yishan nodded and said, "Guoming, I'm not interesting in the first place."
Liang Guoming smiled. He looked at Xu Yishan from head to toe for a long time, and praised: "Old Xu, to be honest, I still admire you. You are different from others. You are upright, have ideals, and are not afraid of power. I think, if you are given a county, you can manage the county in an orderly manner. If you are given a province, you can still manage the province well. You have many advantages, but you also have many shortcomings."
It was the first time for Xu Yishan to hear someone say that he had shortcomings in person, and he immediately became interested. He asked seriously: "Guoming, since you said I have shortcomings, you have to point them out, so I can correct them."
"Actually, it's not a shortcoming." Liang Guoming smiled and said, "You are a little too serious about everything. We, sometimes, really have to learn from Mr. Banqiao's 'rarely confused'. A If people are too clear, they will have no friends. Just like if water is too clear, there will be no fish.¡±
Xu Yishan thought for a while and said, "Guoming, you are really right, I really don't have many friends."
"Of course, there are not many friends. One or two close friends in a lifetime is enough." He suddenly leaned forward, almost touching Xu Yishan's nose, "Old Hu, it should be your most intimate friend." Are you friends?"
When Hu Jin was mentioned, Xu Yishan felt a little embarrassed. Talking about others behind their backs has always been regarded as disdainful by him. But Liang Guoming had already spoken to this point, and it seemed that he couldn't justify it if he didn't answer.
"Old Hu is upright." Xu Yishan simply came to a conclusion. He doesn't want to talk too deeply behind anyone's back.
"Upright?" Liang Guoming laughed and said, "Why don't you say that he is more ambitious than anyone else?"
"Really?" Xu Yishan said with a look of surprise: "Why didn't I see that he has any ambitions?"
"If ambition can be easily seen by others, it is not considered ambition." Liang Guoming leaned back on the sofa, looked at the ceiling and said, "Have you heard that he is going to enter Yanjing?"
Xu Yishan shook his head without hesitation.
Regardless of whether Liang Guoming was testing himself or not, he was obviously prepared to say such words at this time. Discussing a person's political future is a taboo in the officialdom, and it is impossible for Liang Guoming to understand this truth.
"If he achieves his wish, it will be a great tragedy." Liang Guoming said unabashedly, "The biggest problem with Lao Hu is that he is self-willed and has no sense of awe. A person who has lost his sense of awe is very scary."
Xu Yishan smiled helplessly, without saying a word.
He knew that any word he said at this moment might be regarded as an attitude by Liang Guoming. In fact, he knew better than anyone else that Liang and Hu had an evenly matched political force behind them. They are both regarded by these two forces as their respective future successors.
Hu Jin is a Beijing official, which is a signal of experience. It seems that from the moment he went down to the local government, it can be seen that he needs a flawless political resume.
He was favored because of historical reasons. After all, Hu Jin belongs to the second-generation benchmark figure with pure blood.
According to legend, at the beginning, an elder said that when dealing with his children, he must fully respect their choices. For those who are willing to do business, give them an unimpeded business environment. Those who are willing to enter politics must start from the grassroots.
At that time, most of the children of Yanjing Compound chose to go into business. After all, catching up with a good era, making money is more important than anything else.Hu Jin is one of the few disciples of the big courtyard who expressed his intention to enter politics. He seems to have no interest in money, even contempt. He's a guy who really treats money like shit.
In fact, after that wave passed, most of the people around Hu Jin became billionaires or controlled a certain field. When his former classmates or acquaintances drove through the city in luxury cars worth millions or even tens of millions, he was still an ordinary citizen riding a bicycle to go to work in a ministry.
Hu Jin came to prominence when he was the director of the Financial Appropriation Department. He was the first person who dared to resist the orders of his superiors and refused to allocate funds to areas that did not meet the conditions.
During the same period, Liang Guoming, who was in the local area, also chose the same path as Hu Jin. Liang Guoming went to work as a secretary in a low-key manner. In the eyes of others, this was a hopeless choice. No one knew that Liang Guoming was carefully laying out a big picture.
? When Hu Jin and Liang Guoming were running on their own roads, they each represented a force.
Hu Jin is in Yanjing, and the people who usually come and go are people with certain backgrounds. They followed the footsteps left by their parents and hugged each other closely. Hu Jin is also regarded by them as a representative figure they can rely on in politics in the future.
However, Liang Guoming, who was in the local area, was despised by these people in Yanjing. They were not optimistic about Liang Guoming, and even joked about Liang Guoming behind his back without any scruples.
Although in a sense, neither Hu Jin nor Liang Guoming had an advantage in terms of background, but the environment in which they grew up made Liang Guoming far behind by Hu Jin in terms of interpersonal relationships.
Liang Guoming's temptation did not get the result he wanted. Xu Yishan's silence made Liang Guoming somewhat confused about Xu Yishan's true thoughts.
"Old Xu, I know you don't want to talk about these, but these are the most practical issues before you." Liang Guoming's expression became serious, "Now, it's time for you to choose which way to go. Old Xu, in reality, some things are not as simple as you imagined. You have to make a decision, and there is no wavering at all. Then, you will only be left with the fate of being abandoned."
Xu Yishan laughed and said, "Guoming, I've been confused by what you've said. Why choose which way to go? I really don't know the true meaning of these words."
Liang Guoming looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "Old Xu, are you playing tricks?"
Xu Yishan tentatively asked: "Guo Ming, let me clarify what I said, and see if this is the meaning. You mean, should I follow you or Lao Hu? Is that what you mean?"
Liang Guoming smiled and said, "What do you think?"
Xu Yishan smiled, "It doesn't matter who I go with, what matters is who I go with." Recently, transcoding has been serious, which makes us more motivated and updates faster, please move your hands to exit the mode. Thanks
