Perfect Feast

Chapter 12 Bitterness

Turning over and lying on the bed, he wondered what Zhao Jingjing meant, but he couldn't figure it out after much deliberation.

He fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up, it was already daylight. He raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist, it was already seven fifty.

Liu Yang sat up with a grunt, got dressed and got out of bed, hurriedly went to the bathroom to fill in the water to wash up, and when he was about to go downstairs with his bag in his arms, he suddenly realized that Hu Xiaohong had come behind him at some point.

Seeing Liu Yang turn his head, Hu Xiaohong giggled and said, "Hey, I waited for you with the door of the guest room open last night. Are you too cruel?"

Liu Yang lowered his face and said coldly: "Hu Xiaohong, this is my home, you must respect the owner of this home, and you must respect yourself..."

"You..." After Liu Yang said this, Hu Xiaohong finally blushed, and a look of shame and anger flashed on her face: "I worked hard for you, and you miss me that much?"

"What can you complain about? This is a 'gentleman's agreement' between us. If you don't want to, you can leave now. Besides, don't think I don't know, my wife gave you 10% The shares of Dayang Group, you are not working for me, you are doing it for yourself now." Liu Yang looked at her coldly, smiled and said: "This, is it different from our previous agreement? I think you should be satisfied."

At the beginning, it was agreed that Hu Xiaohong would help Zhao Jingjing to work for free, and it was still the kind of food that was not paid. Now you have given Dayang 10% of the shares, which is far beyond the content of the "agreement". What else do you want?

Hu Xiaohong was stunned by Liu Yang's words, she didn't know what to say when she grew up.

However, before Liu Yang finished speaking, he looked at Hu Xiaohong and said very seriously: "10% of Dayang Group's shares is not much, no matter how much you are worth now. You can be regarded as a billionaire woman. But, don't get carried away, no matter how much money you have, I say that it will only take a few minutes to clean you up."

After finishing speaking, Liu Yang opened the door of the living room and walked out. Hu Xiaohong clenched her fists angrily behind him, gave a fierce kick in the air, and said angrily, "The dog bit Lu Dongbin..."

This sentence, from last night to today, is already the second time a woman has spoken about herself. Liu Yang pretended not to hear at all, and still walked out.

Unexpectedly, Hu Xiaohong's volley kick was still one or two meters away from Liu Yang's back, but it stands to reason that her toes couldn't reach Liu Yang's back at all. But who knew that when she kicked it out, the slippers on her feet flew out with a whoosh...

Liu Yang looked back and saw that what shot him in the back was actually a pink plastic slipper with a sunflower disc. Then look at which pink and tender snow-white foot of Hu Xiaohong's upturned, Liu Yang immediately has a black line on his forehead.

Turning around and walking back, he grabbed Hu Xiaohong and was still on the sofa. He raised his hand and slapped her plump buttocks: "If you don't want to die, just be honest..."

"Liu Yang, you bastard, remember... ouch..." Hu Xiaohong not only did not give in, but was still angry.

"Ahem..." At this time, Zhao Jingjing came out from the kitchen, looked at Liu Yang and pressed Hu Xiaohong on the sofa, the expression on her face remained unchanged. He coughed lightly, and seeing Liu Yang's attention, he asked softly, "I boiled millet porridge, do you want to leave after eating?"

"Uh...no need, I'm late for work..." After speaking, Liu Yang fled with his bag in his arms.

"Mr. Zhao, it's very difficult for me to complete the task you taught me..." Hearing the sound of the living room door closing, Hu Xiaohong stood up, rubbed her butt, and said with a bitter face.

"Xiaomei, shut Manager Hu in the guest room to reflect. You are not allowed to eat today." Zhao Jingjing looked at her with a half-smile, but called out Xiaomei from the kitchen.

Xiaomei is Zhao Jingjing's loyal thug, she doesn't care what Hu Xiaohong's identity is, as long as Zhao Jingjing gives the order, she will follow through.

"Ah? Mr. Zhao, I did everything according to your request? What did I do wrong?" Hu Xiaohong was taken aback by Xiaomei's shoulder and dragged her into the guest room, and kept asking.

Zhao Jingjing just waved her hand at Xiaomei: "Drag it in... Let me tell you, you didn't do anything wrong, can you do it if I'm happy? Xiaomei, if she's dishonest, tie her up with a rope..."

"No need, I'll go by myself." Before Zhao Jingjing finished her sentence, Hu Xiaohong giggled: "Mr. Zhao, what are you afraid of?"

"Hu Xiaohong, can you say it again?" The smile on Zhao Jingjing's face disappeared, and her voice became unusually cold.

Hu Xiaohong, however, walked towards the guest room and said with a smile, "I didn't say anything? Mr. Zhao, you should understand what I said... giggle..."

"This foxy girl..." This was the first time Zhao Jingjing cursed someone like that, but her voice was very soft, so soft that she was almost the only one who could hear it.

The adjustment of cadres involves many important departments, such as the Reform Commission, the Finance Bureau, the Transportation Bureau, the Public Security Bureau, and so on. But under the current severe situation, no member of the Standing Committee dared to compete with Liu Yang when it came to selecting the department. However, the deputies of these important departments still affect the hearts of many people.

Some time ago, when the Organization Department made a surprise review of the qualifications of the middle-level cadres in the city, some people were already moved. The fact that Zhu Jianjun sent Liu Yang inspection materials yesterday did not know where it leaked out. How else can we say that the government agencies have no secrets to keep?

As soon as Liu Yang entered the office building today, he heard some people whispering. This also reminded Liu Yang that since everyone already knew about this matter, it should be sooner rather than later. Another point is that we must be cautious in the selection of personnel.

After entering the office, Liu Yang asked Lu Zhihua to issue a notice to call Li Yibin, Zhu Jianjun, and Pei Wenjie to his office for a meeting, mainly to finalize the list as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Jianjun came a step earlier than Pei Wenjie, holding a faxed document in his hand, and said with a smile: "Liu Shu. Ji, the candidates for the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and the Deputy Mayor of the Standing Committee have been determined in the province. Today the province The Organization Department of the Committee will send the new Deputy Mayor of the Standing Committee to take office, this is the fax I just received..."

As he spoke, he handed the document in his hand to Liu Yang.

"Well, the time is almost set..." Liu Yang took it with a smile and glanced at it, but he couldn't help but was stunned.

Sun Qingmei returned to Binhai City to become the deputy mayor and member of the Standing Committee. He already knew about this. But who knew, on this fax document, his name was written first: "After research and decision by the Provincial Party Committee, Comrade Liu Yang was appointed as secretary of the Binhai Municipal Legal Committee..."

This? What's going on here?

Seeing this resignation, Liu Yang couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking about it, he also knew that it was Xu Zonglin's credit. At the beginning, he didn't refuse or agree to this suggestion, he just said that he would consider it.

Is Xu Zonglin fulfilling his promise?

But now that time has passed, and he has become the number one person in Binhai City, this is already extraordinary enough in itself, there is really no need to add icing on the cake. Xu Zonglin's doing so should be considered superfluous.

But the Provincial Party Committee would actually pass his proposal, and Liu Yang couldn't help being surprised.

Originally, Zhu Jianjun thought that this result was won by Liu Yang himself, but he was a little bit upset at first. But now seeing Liu Yang's expression, I realized that I was wrong.

After thinking about it, Zhu Jianjun said with a smile, "Secretary Liu, this is a good thing no matter what, and it shows the trust of the Provincial Party Committee in you..."

Liu Yang smiled wryly: "Yeah, I know that. But personally, it's like walking on thin ice!"

"Oh? How could it be? Although we haven't worked together for a long time, I absolutely believe in your ability to work." Zhu Jianjun asked puzzledly, and by the way, flattered Liu Yang.

The smile on Liu Yang's face turned even more bitter and he said: "There are no worthless men under a great reputation, I'm afraid it's too prosperous and difficult to defend!"

Hearing Liu Yang's words, Zhu Jianjun's face darkened, and he was thoughtful, but he didn't dare to continue.

Taisheng is difficult to keep this sentence, from the chapter "Mozi - Relatives".

"Today there are five cones, and this is the sting, and the one who slashes must be defeated first. There are five knives, and this is the wrong one, and the wrong one must be exhausted first. Therefore, the sweet well is close to exhaustion, the recruiting wood is close to felling, the tortoise is close to burning, and the snake is close to violence." That's why Bigan's death is his resistance; Meng Ben's killing is his courage; Xi Shi's sinking is his beauty; Wu Qi's cracking is his work. Therefore, those people are widowed and their strengths are not dead. Therefore, it is said: Taisheng It's hard to defend."

Before this passage, Mozi has been talking about the importance of being close to the wise men and listening to the opinions of the public, and finally came to the conclusion that "returning national treasures is not as good as offering talents and becoming a scholar". The center of the topic has always been clear. But this passage suddenly changed the subject, using the metaphor of sharp tools being broken first, quick knives being damaged first, sweet wells being nearly exhausted, and wood being recruited and felled near, and then counting Bigan, Meng Ben, Xi Shi, and Wu Qi as examples, saying that these people are very few. Not because of their superiority. In the end, it was concluded that "too prosperous is difficult to defend".

This passage is a very important transition from "returning national treasures is not as good as dedicating virtuous scholars" to "although there are virtuous emperors, don't love ministers who have no merit". On the one hand, sages are more precious than national treasures; but on the other hand, why are there so few sages? Because the wounded are always virtuous and virtuous, and if things go on like this, who would dare to be virtuous and virtuous again? I'm afraid that the scholar culture will sink.

"Mozi" stands on this line of thought, worrying about the situation of those who are interested in morality, and also worried about the decreasing number of wise men, so it laments that "too prosperous is difficult to defend".

This passage is not addressed to the scholars, but to the rulers. Its intention is to remind the rulers to reflect on the reason why there are so few wise men.

With this passage, Mozi can lead to the following key words, that is: "the way of becoming king".

In this passage, Mozi listed the stories of Bigan, Meng Ben, Xi Shi, and Wu Qi. Bigan was murdered because a scholar who was determined to be a Taoist met a tyrant. Meng Ben was killed because of his great strength, which is also a crime. Xishi sinks into the river, but because of her natural beauty, she can't give up on herself, and she must die if she is overwhelmed by the country. Wu Qi's death was because King Chu Mourning appointed him to carry out reforms in order to fight for world hegemony, but as a result he lost his morality and made too many enemies.

The different causes of death of these four people all hinted at the root cause of "Taisheng is difficult to defend", but also faintly hinted that the ruler would not use sages.

How dare Zhu Jianjun answer this question?
