Xu Yishan received a call from Hu Jin before he returned to the room and sat still.
"Are you back?" He asked, his tone was different from the past, and seemed to be a bit dignified.
"I'm back." Xu Yishan replied, "Old Hu, have you slept yet?"
"without."
"Is it convenient?" Xu Yishan thought for a while and said, "I want to chat with you."
"That's exactly what I mean." Hu Jin chuckled, "Are you coming to my place, or should I go to your place?"
"You are the leader, of course I will go to your room."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yishan opened the door and looked outside. There was no sound in the corridor, and there was no one in sight.
Hu Jin was not on the same floor as him, and neither was Liang Guoming. I don't know if it was intentional or for some other reason. The three people's rooms are separated by several floors.
Hu Jin was neatly dressed, watched Xu Yishan come in, and said with a smile, "Are you afraid of being followed?"
Xu Yishan didn't answer him, went straight to the sofa and sat down, and asked tentatively, "Where's your secretary?"
"I told them to go back." Hu Jin smiled and said, "I'm going to go back to Yanjing as soon as the things here are over."
"Going back at this time?" Xu Yishan asked worriedly: "It's the end of the year, so many things to do, so busy, you still have time to go home? Hu, I'm not talking about you. Going back at this time, the time is wrong."
Hu Jin asked solemnly: "This time is wrong, when is it right? Old Xu, you have changed now, and you still know when it is right?"
Xu Yishan said with a smile: "I just think it's really not a good time for you to leave now."
"You're talking about his reason?"
Xu Yishan glanced at him, but remained silent.
"You came to me, you didn't want to chat casually, did you?" Hu Jin's raised mouth showed an elusive smile.
Compared with Xu Yishan, Hu Jin's body looks a bit fat. When he was in college, his figure was almost in shape. Slightly chubby, looks very cute.
He is fat, which may have something to do with his family background. He was born with rich clothes and good food, so it is impossible not to be fat. And Hu Jin has a fatal problem, he never likes to exercise.
One of his favorite things is to read in bed with a book when he is full. Hu Jin reads very fast. He can finish a book as thick as a brick in one day. And he is definitely not just looking at flowers on horseback, Xu Yishan once admired his amazing memory.
Xu Yishan once tried him. After Hu Jin finished reading a book in one day, Xu Yishan took the book and opened a page at random. As long as he read a few sentences, Hu Jin could recite the following words.
His performance made Xu Yishan very puzzled. With his memory, he could be admitted to any of the two universities in Qingbei. After all, Qingbei University admitted Yanjing students, and the score line was very different from other places.
Yanjing can enter the score line of the two schools in the north of the Qing Dynasty, but cannot even enter a decent junior college in the central province. Xu Yishan was able to be admitted to the School of Water Conservancy, his grades are already among the best in Maoshan County, even if he is ranked in the Hengyue area, he is still among the best.
Their School of Water Conservancy has little reputation, but its strength should not be underestimated. Not only have they contributed countless talents to the cause of water conservancy, but also a considerable number of students have embarked on a career in politics after graduation.
Hu Jin's career in politics and Liang Guoming's career in politics should both be pre-arranged paths. Xu Yishan's career in politics was a crooked one, and he made a mistake.
Xu Yishan and Hu Jin became acquainted because they share similar interests. Xu Yishan was born in a rural area, and he is born with a thrifty style and an unyielding character. He doesn't have the aura of being in power like other students at all, which can be reflected in his attitude towards Liang Guoming.
At that time, when the classmates in their class learned that Liang Guoming's father was the leader of the provincial party committee, they wished to be Liang Guoming's bull and horse, and tried to flatter him.
The only ones in the class who didn't like Liang Guoming were Hu Jin from Yanjing, and the countryman Xu Yishan.
Hu Jin didn't please him because he came from Yanjing after all. In the eyes of Yanjing people, except for Yanjing, everyone else is a countryman. They are born with an incomparable sense of superiority. Even if Liang Guoming is the son of a high-ranking cadre, it is not surprising that Hu Jin does not look at him.
On the contrary, Xu Yishan, it was surprising that he didn't flatter Liang Guoming.
After all, their era is already in the era when graduation does not include distribution. Unemployment after graduation is a mountain that weighs on the heads of all rural college students. In the case of their extreme lack of resources, if they cannot find a way out, the function of reading is useless at all.
Hu Jin once asked Xu Yishan why he didn't try to curry favor with Liang Guo.??. He hinted to Xu Yishan that maybe Liang Guoming would use his father's influence to create conditions for him to graduate and find employment that he himself could not achieve.
Xu Yishan only replied to him, "If heretics can be popular, there will be no fairness in this world."
It turned out that in Xu Yishan's eyes, it was heresy for classmates to curry favor with Liang Guoming. This made Hu Jin feel very fresh, and he began to pay attention to him from then on. Over time, the two gradually developed from acquaintance to acquaintance, and finally developed to Hu Jin taking Xu Yishan back to Yanjing's home during the holiday.
In fact, when Xu Yishan stepped into Hu Jin's house for the first time, he felt that Hu Jin was by no means an ordinary person. His family background is very mysterious, but he behaves like an ordinary family, hidden among all living beings.
Hu Jin never talked to Xu Yishan about what his family did, and Xu Yishan never asked. Even if he ate and drank at Hu Jin's house for a few days, he only regarded this experience as an exchange between ordinary classmates.
Originally, Hu Jin planned to help him when he graduated. He even almost explicitly asked Xu Yishan if he would like to work in Yanjing. But Hu Jin's kindness was politely rejected by Xu Yishan. Xu Yishan said that he didn't want to rely on anyone, not even his best brother Hu Jin.
Xu Yishan's polite refusal made Hu Jin a little disappointed, but he respected him more and more in his heart.
Unexpectedly, after graduation and separation, the two did not contact each other for seven years. If Xu Yishan hadn't taken the initiative to come to the door, it was still unknown when they would meet again.
After being silent for a while, Xu Yishan took the initiative to say: "Old Hu, do you have a feeling that it is embarrassing for us to be called to the province?"
Hu Jin smiled meaningfully and said, "Tell me, what's so embarrassing?"
"You said, is the meeting with the head of state today a work-related meeting or a private meeting?"
Hu Jin didn't answer him directly, but instead asked him, "What do you mean?"
"I feel a bit inappropriate." Xu Yishan thought for a while and said, "If it's a matter of work, the chief can arrange for us to report to his office. If it's a personal matter, do you think we will have a personal relationship with the chief? Intersection?"
He felt that this sentence didn't seem to be in place, so he simply said clearly: "I think our meeting today seems a bit shameful. Why did the chief do this?"
Hu Jin smiled and said: "Old Xu, are you a little too sensitive?"
Xu Yishan said seriously: "This is not sensitivity, it is a political hunch and judgment."
"Yo, I made a political prediction." Hu Jin teased him and said, "Old Xu, I think you are a little sensitive. However, your worry is not unreasonable. In politics, it is absolutely not allowed to engage in such trivial matters." However, you can understand that this is the chief executive's care for us."
"Really?" Xu Yishan sneered and said, "Old Hu, tell the truth, have you taken the position of Secretary of the Party Working Committee of the Rongcheng Project?"
Hu Jin was taken aback for a moment, and said with a half-smile, "What if I say yes?"
