The lake is sparkling, the breeze blows, the layers of blue waves rise with the wind, and the willow trees by the lake also raise its green willow, swaying and dancing in the wind, which really has a bit of spring breath.

Guo Xufeng sat quietly in the Moya Tea Society, took a sip of tea, and the soft fragrance like yarn penetrated into his heart and spleen.

Moya Tea House is built on the shore of the beautiful Phoenix Lake, it is a two-storey wooden structure, antique, just like the ancient pavilion in general, sitting in the elegant house, through the window that is propped up outward, the beautiful scenery of the Phoenix Lake can be seen at a glance, it is really a good place to drink tea and taste tea, and nourish the mind and pleasure.

Sitting opposite the carved dragon sandalwood coffee table is Yang Weiguo.

The first and second leaders of Dongping will actually sit here and drink tea, if this is passed out, maybe it will cause some speculation and reverie, but the two of them did not have the tension of a while ago, but with a smile on their faces, they seemed to be very cordial, as if sitting in this elegant tea house, sipping fragrant tea, looking at the scenery, all of them threw those intrigues and deceitful things out of the clouds.

"Secretary Yang, to be honest, I admire you," Guo Xufeng took a sip of tea, his lips and teeth were fragrant, and his mood was very comfortable.

I didn't feel like I was confined to the small world of Dongping before, but now that I jumped out of it, I suddenly felt that the world outside was actually very broad, and the frustration and frustration at the beginning were also diluted a lot, and after learning the news that Yang Weiguo was also leaving, his mood was even more comfortable, which at least said that in this struggle, there was no real winner, and his gloomy exit did not seem so sad and defeated.

"It is our responsibility to serve as an official and benefit one party, and there is nothing to admire or not admire," Yang Weiguo's expression on his face was very calm and tranquil.

Guo Xufeng invited him out for tea today, which surprised him a little, but after a short period of stunned, he also came as promised, Guo Xufeng's thoughts, he somewhat understood, how to say it, whether the two of them were sympathetic to each other, or were they sympathetic.

seemed to be able to feel Yang Weiguo's wariness, Guo Xufeng said: "Don't hide it from Secretary Yang, when I first came to Dongping, I was really ambitious, I really felt that as long as I waved my hand, the whole city could develop rapidly according to my own ideas, changing with each passing day, but now when I was about to leave, I looked at the city again, only to find that in the original two years, it seems that there has not been much change, sometimes, I really doubt that we have done something for this city in the past two years,"

"The change of the city does not lie in how many high-rise buildings have been built, how many factories and enterprises have been built, and how many roads have been built, but here," Yang Weiguo pointed to his heart and said loudly: "It lies in the real feelings of the people, whether they feel that life is better, whether they feel that their income has increased, their sense of happiness has increased, and each of them has a rod and scale in their hearts."

Guo Xufeng's face couldn't help but feel a little hot.

After arriving in Dongping, he thought the most, in addition to power, is political achievements, to be honest, really didn't really think about the feelings of the people, although in the past two years, he has also done a lot of things for Dongping, such as the expansion of the high-tech zone, such as the introduction of several heavyweight enterprises, but almost all of them are for the political achievements, as for how much benefit can be brought to the people, I really haven't thought about it.

Guo Xufeng pursed his lips, he has always been a mouthful in front of the public, he was a little speechless, and he was silent for a moment before he whispered again: "Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years,"

Yang Weiguo smiled slightly and said: "Dongping, for us, it has always been just a post station, but for those who were born and grew up here, every decision of the ruler may bring them a huge change in their lives,"

If it was a weekday, Guo Xufeng would probably be a little disdainful, thinking that Yang Weiguo was singing a high note again, but at this time, he nodded thoughtfully.

……

At the beginning of April, after the last municipal government work meeting, Guo Xufeng was officially transferred to Asan City as secretary of the municipal party committee.

The reason why he did not transfer people from other places was that in addition to Tang Jianchuan's own efforts, Yang Weiguo and Guo Xufeng also played an extremely important role, and it was precisely because Yang Weiguo drank Guo Xufeng that the new mayor was unexpectedly highly consistent that Tang Jianchuan finally sat in this position.

Walking out of the gate of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, Guo Xufeng felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Before Guo Xufeng came to Dongping, his political prospects were very optimistic, and many people in the province even hoped that he could effectively curb Yang Weiguo's momentum of "dominating" Dongping after he arrived in Dongping.

First of all, Yang Weiguo, secretary of the municipal party committee, this cadre who was airborne from the capital, single-handedly stabbed the once iron bucket-like Dongping into a thousand holes and scattered, and then firmly controlled the power of Dongping, making him a little aggrieved as the mayor, and finally seized the opportunity to give Yang Weiguo a fatal blow, but he almost couldn't get off the stage.

The peaks and valleys of life are closely linked, although going to be the secretary of the municipal party committee of Asan City seems to be promoted, but in fact, everyone can taste the bitterness, and who knows, Asan City is not the end of Guo Xufeng's career.

The car was driving in the streets and alleys of Dongping, Guo Xufeng silently looked at the scenery outside the window, and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

Chen Yangping sat in the co-pilot's seat, observing Guo Xufeng's expression through the rearview mirror, and felt a little uncomfortable.

He is Guo Xufeng's secretary, he has been following Guo Xufeng for several years, when he first came to Dongping, he was really high-spirited, thinking that after Guo Xufeng gained a firm foothold in Dongping, he would be promoted and reused, who knows, he was pressed by Yang Weiguo for two years, and when it came to an end, he could only follow Guo Xufeng to leave Dongping, although Guo Xufeng went to Asan City to be the secretary of the municipal party committee this time, and his secretary, he finally became a wife and became the first secretary of Ashan, but in his heart, he no longer had the excitement and expectation when he came to Dongping from Heyang.

Chen Yangping doesn't know much about the game behind the high-level, but he also knows what it means for Guo Xufeng to leave at this time, especially when he heard that Yang Weiguo will leave Dongping soon, that feeling is particularly strong, although they are both secretaries of the municipal party committee, but Asan and Dongping, how can they talk the same day.

Just as he was thinking about it, the phone suddenly rang, and Chen Yangping picked up the phone in a hurry.

The call was from Yang Weiguo's secretary Yu Zhifan, who originally sounded a voice with some disgust, but at this moment it seemed to become pleasant, but soon, a shadow was cast on his heart.

He heard from some gossip that before Yang Weiguo left Dongping, he would arrange for Yu Zhifan to go to the Municipal Finance Bureau to work as a deputy section with real power, and in contrast, although he and Guo Xufeng went to Ashan, their future was still uncertain.

"Secretary Guo, Secretary Yu called and said that Secretary Yang came to see him off, "Since Guo Xufeng's appointment notice came down, Chen Yangping has changed his name, in his opinion, maybe Guo Xufeng prefers such a title."

Guo Xufeng was slightly stunned, and asked, "Didn't Secretary Yang go to Heyang to attend the signing ceremony of the Youth Foundation, why?"

Chen Yangping said: "I heard Secretary Yu say that Secretary Yang made a special trip back from Heyang, and now he is on the way,"

Guo Xufeng didn't know what kind of taste it was in his heart, he was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand and said, "Pull over,"

He knew that Yang Weiguo was not here to show off and demonstrate, and it was strange to say that he had fought to the death, but now, he felt that he and Yang Weiguo were actually very close to each other, if they really abandoned the so-called political disputes and the interest groups they represented, maybe the two could become good friends and confidants.

The car stopped on the side of the road, flashing the emergency lights, Guo Xufeng closed his eyes, half leaned on the seat, what flashed in his mind was the scene after scene in Dongping, at this time, he really regretted it in his heart, if he could be open and honest with Yang Weiguo, could the two of them really work together and develop Dongping well.

It's a pity, he also knows that this kind of thinking can only be thought about, no matter who it is, they will not allow a city where there are no different voices between the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor, and the so-called checks and balances are the most quintessential part of our thousands of years of officialdom culture.

Not long after, car No. 1 was coming rapidly, and before the car stopped, Guo Xufeng hurriedly got out of the car and walked quickly to meet him.

"Secretary Yang, why are you here," Guo Xufeng shook hands with Yang Weiguo and said with a slight excitement.

Yang Weiguo smiled and said, "I heard that you left today, so I rushed back from Heyang, who knew that I was in a hurry, but I still didn't catch up, so I could only ask Xiao Yu to call you,"

"Hehe, I'm afraid of parting and being sad, I can't see that kind of scene the most," Guo Xufeng said with a smile, but it seemed to be quite touching, those who used to often visit the house and closely rally around him did not see one today, of course, he can also understand this, the new mayor has arrived, these people may be busy going to worship the pier, where can they take care of themselves, but I can't imagine that Yang Weiguo will come.

Yang Weiguo clapped his hands and laughed at himself: "I'm here to see you off today, I don't know who will send me off the day I leave,"

Guo Xufeng shook Yang Weiguo's hand tightly with empathy, officialdom is actually so realistic, today may still be a good place, but once you lose power, these people may immediately draw a clear line with you, if you don't fall into the well, it is already very good, I am okay, after all, it is a local cadre in Huachuan, and the place I went to this time also belongs to Huachuan, and Yang Weiguo, it was not easy to make a situation in Dongping, cultivate some forces, and was sent to Xicheng in a blink of an eye, and its situation can be imagined.

Chen Yangping looked at the two of them with some dumbfounded, if he hadn't seen it in person, even if he wanted to break his scalp, he couldn't have imagined that when Guo Xufeng left Dongping, it would be such a picture that might surprise most people, at this moment, he seemed to have a deeper understanding of such a sentence: In this world, there are no absolute friends, there are no absolute enemies, and there are just entanglements of interests.
