"In China, officialdom is politics. People who are familiar with the way of political struggle often settle their accounts in this way: to do an ignoble thing is to achieve long-term glory in the future." Said Lao Li.

I couldn't help nodding.

Lao Li continued: "in politics, the most important thing is positioning. Only when you set your position, that is to say, you can know where you should go and how to go, which is the best way for you and the shortest way

"Chinese politics is a pyramid. It can only go up but not down. The more it goes up, the more fierce the competition and the more difficult it is to get up. When leaders are together, there are several things we can't talk about: first, women; second, the evaluation of leaders at higher levels; third, the appointment of cadres

"Don't be surprised by Qiao Shida's attendance at this meeting. Even if the vice minister and he are not classmates, he will still attend. The reception method of officialdom figures is basically a conventional rule. Leaders of the same level will accompany leaders of the same level when they come. This is also a self-evident political hidden rule.

There are at least three important differences between "Qiao Shida" and "leaders" in their attitude. Those who are slow are important leaders and those who are fast are general leaders; those who are cold are important leaders and those who are hot are general leaders; those who are generous are important leaders and those who are trivial are general leaders. "

Lao Li's words are very incisive and accurate. I admire him: "Lao Li, although you are not a member of the officialdom, you have a thorough analysis of officialdom. If you are in politics, you will be a senior official. You must be a resourceful officialdom expert."

"Ha ha, I'm just talking on paper. I can't do it in officialdom, and I don't have that ability. If you can mix well, I feel very proud." Lao Li laughs: "Chinese officialdom is a very strange place. When men and women enter it, they will become proud. When upright people enter it, they will become petty

"No matter how good the plan is, it will run aground indefinitely there; no matter how ridiculous the decision is, it will be passed there; the superior can be humorous, reprimand and sarcasm in front of the subordinate; while the subordinate can only be respectful and respectful in front of the superior; colleagues, like thieves, defend each other and become jealous in the face of the superior."

I nodded: "well..."

"In officialdom, it is easy for people to lose themselves and become involuntarily, because there is another set of right and wrong standards in officialdom. People judge officials by whether they do things for the people, while officials often only care about whether you listen or not, or even whether you give them gifts.

"When you come to officialdom, you know the complexity of officialdom and society. It's not surprising that people are intertwined. It's common to be friends today and enemies tomorrow. Although in history, officialdom often divided people into gentleman and villain, but in fact, it is often you have me, I have you, the boundary is not so clear, everyone thinks he is a gentleman, and the opponent is villain.

"In officialdom, people with ability and good virtue are not necessarily promoted, and people without ability and bad virtue are not necessarily demoted. Even the opposite. People who flatter and flatter are often complacent, and maverick people are often frustrated everywhere. There is no absolute right and wrong there. Today is wrong and tomorrow may be right. " Said Lao Li.

Lao Li's words made me think deeply

Just after breaking up with Lao Li, I went out of the teahouse and got a call from Lao Li.

"Xiaoyi, what are you doing now?" Lao Li asked me.

"It's OK. What's the matter with Uncle Li?" I said.

"Ha ha It's OK. I'm at home. If it's convenient for you, can you come over? Let's have a chat. " Lao Li said.

"Oh This... " I can't help but have some doubts and concerns.

"Your aunt is not at home. She's gone for a walk." Lao Li added.

It seems that Lao Li wants to talk to me alone. I think about it, promise to come down, hang up the phone and go straight to Lao Li's house.

As expected, Lao Li was at home and was drinking tea in his study.

After I came, Lao Li asked me to sit down and made me a cup of tea: "this is Dianhong I brought back from Yunnan this time. It tastes good. Try it."

I took a sip from the cup, tasted good and nodded: "Uncle Li still has good taste for tea."

"Ha ha..." Lao Li laughs. Then he turns on the player in his study. An old song sung by Li Chunbo, which has not been seen for a long time, reverberates in the room

"Once loved deeply, once helpless, once shed tears; once owned, once lost, once hard to choose; how much sweet and bitter, become how many joys and sorrows."

I looked at Lao Li. He looked at the teacup in his hand in silence. His eyes seemed very gloomy

I didn't speak. I listened in silence.

"I've been excited, I've lost sleep, I've been out of my mind for you; I've been young, I've been impulsive, I've been drunk for you; I've lost my dream, I'll never fade in my memory..."

The song is melancholy and soothing, the lyrics are beautiful and melancholy, my heart can't help rising and falling"Who can tell me what is right and what is wrong; who can, who can tell me what is and what is..."

In the song, I seem to see Lao Li's heart trembling with vicissitudes and scars, and his muddy eyes full of dampness and memories

After the song, we were all silent. For a long time, Lao Li sighed deeply.

"Uncle Li." I called, and I was a little nervous.

Lao Li looked up at me with a sad smile: "this is my favorite song, and it's also a song that worries me every time I listen to it Every time I hear this song, I seem to go back to that era Every time I listen to it in my study alone, this time, it's you and me. "

I was silent.

"This is the theme song of the TV series" evil debt. " Lao Li said again.

I nodded, "well, I saw the show."

Lao Li lowered his eyelids and sighed again.

I suddenly think of Jin Jingxiu, Qiu Tong, Li Shun and Mrs. Li

I don't know what Lao Li meant by calling me here today. Did he just call me to listen to the music?

"Uncle Li, what do you want to say?" I said.

Lao Li looked at me and said with a smile, "Xiaoyi, after the Spring Festival, Ah Shun went to Korea with you, didn't he?"

My heart beat a few times, nodded: "yes."

"What did Ah Shun and you do when we went to Korea?" Lao Li asked me again in a very gentle tone.

I don't know how Lao Li knew that Li Shun and I went to Korea, but since he asked me, it means that he has mastered some of the situation of Li Shun and I in Korea. After thinking about it, I said: "we went to Australia to visit, returned home through Korea, and stayed in Korea for more than a day During my stay, I went to visit Jin Jingze and his aunt, and boss Li also went along

Lao Li's eyelids jumped: "Oh Ah Shun went, too. "

"Yes." I said.

"Did you invite him or did he offer to go?" Lao Li asked me again.

"He offered to go himself." I then added: "and I went to visit Jin Jingze and his aunt. Boss Li suggested that I go."

"Oh..." Lao Li nodded: "well Have you seen them? "

"I see." I said.

"Well What did you talk about after you met? " Lao Li's breathing is a little short.

I pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision to tell Lao Li the truth about the meeting between Li Shun and Jin Jingxiu and Jin Jingze that day.

I don't know why I did it, but I feel I need to.

After hearing this, Lao Li was silent for a long time, and then said to me, "Xiaoyi, thank you Thank you for telling me that. "

I'm speechless. I don't need him to thank me.

"Xiaoyi, I have a request for you." Lao Li said.

Lao Li asked me, which made me a little uneasy. He said, "Uncle Li, you are the elder, I am the younger. Don't talk like this. If you have anything to do, just tell me."

Lao Li said, "no, it's not a command, it's a request."

Lao Li seems very stubborn.

"Uncle Li, just say what you want to say." I said.

"I think, about this, about me, about you and Ah Shun going to Korea this time, please keep it secret from everyone." Lao Li looked at me with pleading eyes.

I can't stand Lao Li's look at me. He nodded: "Uncle Li, I promise you

Lao Li took a breath and nodded: "OK, that's good Xiaoyi, thank you very much. "

I don't know how to say it again. I stood up awkwardly: "Uncle Li, what else can I do for you?"

Lao Li shook his head and looked blankly: "no more."

"Then I'll go." I said.

"Good." Lao Li nodded, his eyes full of melancholy and loss.

I didn't dare to look at Lao Li's eyes any more, so I escaped from Lao Li's house.

It turns out that the purpose of Lao Li's asking me to go is to ask me about it. It seems that he is very upset about Li Shun's trip to South Korea. He just doesn't know how he knows that Li Shun has gone to South Korea. Maybe Li Shun didn't show it after he went home.

It seems that I can understand Lao Li's uneasiness. After all, in the face of such a reality, he would be uneasy if I were him.

In fact, even if Lao Li doesn't ask me to keep it secret, I won't tell her about his secret. I don't feel that anyone needs to know about it. Originally, Qiu Tong is the one I want to say intimate words most, but I think about it and decide not to tell her about it for the time being, although I know she won't talk about it.

I can imagine that Qiutong would be shocked if she knew that Lao Li and Jin Jingxiu had such a love affair.

I don't want to shock Qiutong for the moment.Of course, if I knew more about Lao Li and Jin Jingxiu later, I would be shocked and faint first.

The next morning, I received a notice from the staff of the party office of the group, asking me to go to sun dongkai's office.

I went to the group immediately, and the office staff took me to sun dongkai's office.

In the absence of sun dongkai, the staff said that Secretary sun was presiding over the opening of the group's Party committee and asked me to wait in his office first.

Sitting on the sofa, I picked up a magazine, flipped through it and listened to the outside.
