Chapter 3 The Second Spring

The person who came was Zhou Songlin, the full-time deputy secretary of Qingzhou City. He had a neat and shiny big back. Although his figure was a little fat, his back was straight, his face was filled with a warm smile, and his elegance was firm. He had a great leader style in his every move. He had been cultivated in the officialdom for decades. People with this temperament could not hide even if they were wearing ordinary clothes, and those who did not, even if they were deliberately disguised, could not imitate them.

Wang Siyu pushed the brim of the hat, covered her face with newspaper, and followed Zhou Songlin with only eyes. Seeing him walking to the opposite side of Liao Jingqing, Liao Jingqing and her colleague stood up with a smile. After the three of them greeted each other, they sat there chatting. The distance between the two tables was a bit far. Although their ears were high, Wang Siyu only heard Liao Jingqing smile and say, "You are Zhou Yuan's father."

Next, I couldn't hear what they were talking about, but judging from the faces, expressions and behaviors of the three people, Wang Siyu had guessed a few points. This was clearly a misunderstanding. Zhou Songlin was obviously here to apologize, not a blind date.

After a little thought, Wang Siyu confirmed that this possibility is extremely high. Zhou Songlin was troubled by a greeting that year, and was sent to the coal mine in Yuyuan County and died in an unexpected mine accident. This incident not only caused Zhou Songlin and his daughter to rebel, but also caused Liao Jingqing to be hit hard. Zhou Songlin has always been worried about this matter. This is his biggest heart disease. Now his relationship with his daughter has gradually shown signs of reconciliation because of his threading needles and coordination some time ago. If he could obtain Liao Jingqing's understanding, perhaps he would have less self-blame and pain.

Judging from the situation just now, I guess Mr. Zhou came here to apologize to Liao Jingqing this time. Yaoyao is young and is very likely to have misheard the phone number, which leads to a false alarm. Wang Siyu smiled with coffee, thinking that this is the so-called concern, but he cares too much about Liao Jingqing, which makes him worry about gains and losses and misunderstandings.

The following scene further confirmed Wang Siyu's guess. More than ten minutes later, Zhou Songlin stood up from the table and bowed deeply to Liao Jingqing. Liao Jingqing stood up with a smile, shook hands with Zhou Songlin, talked softly for a few words, and then took Yaoyao away first.

Seeing Liao Jingqing's graceful figure disappearing outside the door, Wang Siyu breathed a sigh of relief, smiled with a cup, and sat opposite He Yanfei, who was a little confused, nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do this for now. You and Xiao Qiu work overtime and go to the company under Yasteel. Based on the investigation last year, we will sort out a detailed material and hand it over to me before Tuesday afternoon."

He and Qiu quickly stood up and turned to walk out the door. When Qiu Zhaoguan walked halfway, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhou Songlin holding coffee and the middle-aged beautiful woman sitting opposite him smiling. He hurriedly raised his hand to cover his side face and walked out quickly.

Seeing this scene, Wang Siyu couldn't help but frown slightly, picked up the cup thoughtfully, tasted a sip of coffee, smiled, and turned his eyes to Zhou Songlin's table. At this time, he saw the middle-aged beautiful woman saying a few words with great emotion. Zhou Songlin seemed to have a lot of insights, and reached out and put it on the woman's white hand, patted it gently. The two of them looked at each other, as if sparks were sparks.

Wang Siyu lowered his head and smiled for a while, thinking that this time the old man would not be yelling about being old and lonely again, but he still felt a little curious. When did these two men meet... well... they met...

Just as they were enjoying it, they saw the two of them leaving the table and walking out of the coffee shop one by one. Wang Siyu hurriedly used the newspaper as a cover and carefully chased them from behind. Standing at the door, he saw Zhou Songlin and the middle-aged beautiful woman leaving the door, and consciously kept a few meters away. He waved into the taxi, one heading east and the other heading west.

Wang Siyu rolled the newspaper into a tube, frowned and slapped it in his palm a few times, and then he laughed. When he received a call from Du Feng last night, he was a little puzzled. The provincial economic conference was obviously held at Yongyi Villa Resort. How could Mr. Zhou ask him to meet at Yintai Hotel? There is a situation, but there is definitely a situation... Wang Siyu subconsciously rubbed his jaw, his eyes were shining, and his mind began to think about it. It seems that Mr. Zhou, the old tree, is very likely to be rejuvenated for a second spring.

Shortly after returning home, Wang Siyu received a call from Liang Guizhi, deputy director of the General Office and director of the Inspection Office. Liang Guizhi asked him to pay attention to Yagang on the phone. It is estimated that it will not take long before the Inspection Office will send people to Yagang again. Wang Siyu asked her about some specific situation, and Liang Guizhi said it softly.

In mid-April last year, due to dissatisfaction with the restructuring of the enterprise, thousands of Asian Steel workers besieged several members of the reform leadership group in the office building and were not allowed to go out. The siege lasted for 68 hours. It was not until two leaders of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the provincial government personally made a promise that the reform would be suspended indefinitely, and the workers evacuated one after another.

Afterwards, under the instructions of the provincial party secretary, the Provincial Party Committee Inspection Office sent an inspection team headed by Deputy Director Xiao Guanxiong to Yasteel Group for two weeks of open and secret investigations. However, due to the strong resistance from Yasteel Group, Xiao Guanxiong hit a wall many times, in order to avoid intensifying the conflict again, he called Liang Guizhi. The inspection team evacuated without any gains.

Before Liu Xiantang committed suicide, he served as the chairman, general manager, and party secretary of Yasteel Group Co., Ltd., and was once a famous figure in Yuzhou City. He became an ordinary fitter and through his own efforts, he eventually became the top leader of Yasteel. In the past decade, he has been elected as a provincial people's congress representative, an advanced worker of the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions, and a provincial model of labor. Although the business conditions of the company have been poor in recent years, he is still often sought after by the media. In addition to some gossip news that he has relished, rumors of him refusing to be the deputy mayor were also revealed in the public year before yesterday, which has added to his legendary color.

Through Liang Guizhi's disclosure, Wang Siyu learned that the reason why Liu Xiantang committed suicide was most likely related to his gambling abroad. The Ministry of Public Security issued a notice to the Public Security Departments of seven provinces and regions around the border a month ago, asking them to launch a large-scale operation and do their best to clear out gambling crimes on the front line of the border.

This special operation has gained a lot. In addition to closing some casinos, a group of gamblers who have long cross-border gambling were also arrested. According to the confession of two of them, the investigators obtained some evidence that Liu Xiantang misappropriated huge amounts of public funds to gambling. Just as the investigators were planning to continue pursuing, Liu Xiantang got the news in advance. At 2:30 in the morning, he opened the window and jumped off the building to commit suicide from the office on the 17th floor of the Yagang Headquarters Building.

Liu Xiantang's body was discovered by a worker who got up early and practiced in the morning at around 4 a.m., so he reported the case. The police found a letter of remorse on his desk. In the letter of remorse, he admitted that he had gambled more than ten times in overseas casinos in Myanmar and other places under the banner of going abroad for inspection. Because he lost 2 million in the first two gamblings, he was unwilling to give up and always wanted to make a comeback. Unexpectedly, the more he gambled, the deeper he fell. Until the last time he participated in the gambling ten days ago, he lost a total of 36 million yuan.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Siyu threw the black-skinned notebook aside, picked up the newspaper again, frowned and looked at it. He always felt that he had forgotten something, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember it.

At 7:30 pm, Wang Siyu came to Yintai Hotel as promised and knocked on Zhou Songlin's door. Zhou Songlin was in good spirits, his face was flushed, his wrinkles were stretched out, and there was a rare comfort between his eyebrows. He was wearing a dark gray plaid pajama and a pair of reading glasses on his face. He was sitting on a vermilion sofa chair looking at the documents. When he saw Wang Siyu coming in, he looked up and smiled, reached out to point to the side. Wang Siyu smiled and put down a bag of fruit in his hand, sat on the sofa, and waited quietly.

Five or six minutes later, Zhou Songlin put the documents in his hand on the coffee table, took off the reading glasses, threw them on the documents, took out the cigarette box, and threw them to Wang Siyu. The two of them started chatting while smoking cigarettes. Zhou Songlin asked about his recent work situation, and Wang Siyu briefly explained it. After pondering for a while, he also mentioned the dispute between Fang Hou like a dragonfly, but it was reserved in many places and did not explain it too much.

What a person Zhou Songlin is? He just looked up at Wang Siyu, then picked up a sign pen, gently tapped the coffee table, and frowned and said, "Fang Hou fights, that is a battle of interests among the top leaders, and it is also an open and secret struggle between the two major forces. Such a storm, how can you, an ignorant boy, participate? You, just hide away from me, do things honestly, and never be confused."

Zhou Songlin didn't seem to care about Wang Siyu's identity change, but he still taught him a lesson in the tone of an elder. Wang Siyu didn't care about it, but instead thought it was normal. Many times, Zhou Songlin did not look like a deputy secretary of the municipal party committee in front of him, but like an ordinary old man who likes to nag. In fact, Wang Siyu and this old man Zhou seemed to enjoy this feeling very much.

Of course, but this does not mean that he agrees with Zhou Songlin's point of view.

With Fang Ruhai's kindness to him and his unexplained relationship with Fang Jing, Wang Siyu had already regarded himself as a member of the Fang family. With this sense of identity, Wang Siyu would still do it even for the Fang family. Faced with Zhou Songlin's reminder, Wang Siyu nodded insincerely, picked up the tea and took a sip, and stopped talking.

Zhou Songlin seemed to have guessed what he thought, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "Whether you are an official or a person, you must judge the situation and follow the trend. Generally speaking, those who can achieve something will not be burdened by love."

Wang Siyu frowned and retorted softly: "A person with a heartless and indifferent person must not be able to achieve any career."

Zhou Songlin smiled, avoided answering, glanced at Wang Siyu quietly, threw down the signature pen in his hand, walked to the hotel window with his hands behind his back, opened the curtains, lit a cigarette, and said softly: "Let me tell you about the old things..."

There was once an official from West China Province. When he was mayor, he had outstanding political achievements and a very good official reputation, but many people knew that the reason why he could reach such a high position was inseparable from his own ability and hard work. However, later, when the old leader was fighting with his political enemy in a hot battle, it was the mayor who was the most trusted mayor of the old leader to turn against him and stab him in the back, so that the old leader was defeated and forced to retire early. Half a year later, the old leader died of depression. The mayor originally wanted to go to pay his respects, but the old leader's family put a picture of the words outside the mourning hall, "XXX and the dog are not allowed to enter." At that time, this incident was very popular, causing this person to lose all his face in West China Province. However, although his official reputation was lost, his official fortune came. Since then, he has risen to the top and became the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee within five years...

Wang Siyu held the chess piece in his hand and sighed. He knew that the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee that Zhou Songlin mentioned was mostly the old man of the Fang family. The purpose of his words was nothing more than to see that he sometimes valued his emotional weaknesses, so he came to mention him specifically. However, the two could not communicate on this issue. Wang Siyu would not be convinced by Zhou Songlin. He lowered his head and stared at the coffee table in front of him, chatting with Zhou Songlin in disguise.

On the side of the fruit plate on the coffee table, there were neatly placed a stack of documents, and there were a pair of reading glasses and a magnifying glass on the stack of documents.

When Wang Siyu was bored, he reached out to touch the magnifying glass. He started to do it. At this moment, his heart suddenly moved, and suddenly remembered the middle-aged beauty during the day. He glanced at the window and saw Zhou Songlin standing in front of the window motionless, and was talking on his back. Wang Siyu quietly stood up from the sofa, sneaked to the big bed, lying there, holding the magnifying glass in his hand, squinted his eyes and searching around...

Finally, Wang Siyu found a long curved golden hair between the two pillows. He felt like he had a treasure. He smiled and slid off the bed, returned to the sofa, covered his mouth and smirked for a while before throwing it to the ground, touched a big red apple from the fruit plate, and listened to Zhou Songlin in his ears: "The career is difficult and you can't be cruel. If one day, the opponent standing in front of you is me, you can't be merciful, and you can't be emotional. Only in this way can you go further in the officialdom."

After saying that, he splashed the ashes casually, and felt a little worried, so he continued: "In addition, you are still young and prone to fall on women's problems. Remember to keep yourself clean and resist the temptation of women. I don't know how many outstanding cadres in our party... they all fell on women in the end, and the lesson was painful..."
