Lao Ma is very straightforward in doing things, but don't underestimate Lao Ma's IQ. Lao Ma considers things very carefully and analyzes all possibilities. Although he boasts in front of Yuan Zili, Lao Ma is actually confident that he can deal with Cao People like Dong can't hesitate at all. It's like beating a drowned dog, leaving the other party with no chance to breathe and fight back. If Cao Dong sees a slight weakness in his tone, he will have wild ideas. Cao Dong has been waiting for feedback from Yuan Zili or Zhou Dahai. At such a critical juncture, Cao Dong was still uneasy about making such a choice. Cao Dong's ideas were not much different from others, and he still had many hopes. The big fantasy is to be able to establish a relationship with Yuan Zili without offending Li Guiyu. When the time comes, no matter who falls, he will not suffer too much. But Cao Dong also knows that there is nothing so cheap in the world. Now it depends on Yuan Zili's attitude. If he has a tough attitude, he must seriously consider what to choose next. The relationship between Cao Dong and Li Guiyu, as always, seemed to be very affectionate. Cao Dong's heart was very hidden and Li Guiyu could not detect it. Li Guiyu was also a little strange about the matter of Jinjian Company. After figuring out the measures taken by Zhou Dahai , Li Guiyu also discussed this matter with Cao Dong specifically, thinking that Zhou Dahai still has a certain mind and methods, and can solve the problem from the other side. It seems that he is very dedicated to his work. "Secretary-General Cao, Secretary Yuan will go to counties and cities to inspect work in the next few days. The specific content mainly involves economic work, party affairs work and comprehensive management of social security." "Oh, Xiao Xu, do you know the specific time arrangement? "I don't know. Secretary Yuan has this intention and is currently asking me to make preparations." "Okay, I understand. If anything happens, we will contact you again." Cao Dong is accustomed to going to Li Guiyu's office to tell him about this. However, after standing up, Cao Dong hesitated. He suddenly remembered his judgment. If Yuan Zili had doubts about Xu Xianyong, then the news Xu Xianyong said may not be accurate. Also, If Yuan Zili had grasped more of the situation, then Cao Dong simply did not dare to think about the subsequent situation. Cao Dong sat down again. The report must be reported. The key depends on how it is said. Li Guiyu doesn't care much about Yuan Zili's ordinary whereabouts. Yuan Zili always has to work. Li Guiyu is also aware of many daily tasks. For some time, Xu Xianyong rarely called, and Cao Dong didn't know much. Cao Dong is undoubtedly smart. This matter was indeed arranged deliberately by Yuan Zili. Yuan Zili had already planned to visit Fuyuan Coal Mine secretly. If he wanted to keep his whereabouts secret, he couldn't hide it from Li Guiyu. Xu Xianyong happened to be by his side, so Just let some rumors out, letting Li Guiyu know that he was going downstairs to inspect the work. The inspection work would inevitably involve going to the countryside. By then, it would not matter if he could grasp the real situation. "Mayor Li, Yuan Zili is going to the county and city to inspect the economic work, party affairs work and comprehensive management of social security. Xu Xianyong has been ordered to make preparations." "Oh, I know about this matter, Yuan Zili called I asked about some economic work, Lao Cao, what do you think of this matter? " "Mayor Li, I think this matter is normal. It's almost the end of the year. Go down and take a look. I checked the following last time. I am here to supervise the work this time and ask the following to complete the work tasks better. I think you can also take time to go down and have a look and supervise the work. " "Well, we will talk about the specific time after Yuan Zili comes back. You can make arrangements when the time comes." After Lao Ma considered it maturely, he called Cao Dong's office. He secretly warned himself that he could not fail this time and must succeed completely. On the phone, Lao Ma did not hesitate and just put it forward. Secretary-General Cao was invited to dinner. Cao Dong readily agreed without any hesitation. A taxi stopped outside the small restaurant. Cao Dong paid and came out. He looked around as a habit. There was nothing unusual. This was an urban-rural fringe area. There were many people and the environment was not very good. But like this Places are always unattractive. "Secretary-General Cao, hello. I am very honored to be able to invite the Secretary-General to dinner." "Brother Ma, please don't say that. We all serve the leaders. You follow Secretary Yuan, and I will follow Mayor Li, it's a great honor for Brother Ma to treat me to dinner. " "Secretary-General Cao, you know that I never drink because of driving, but I didn't drive today, so I had a good drink with Secretary-General Cao. "Secretary-General Cao is the leader, so don't refuse." "Brother Ma, don't say that. I will risk my life to accompany you, and I don't care if I get drunk." The two talked affectionately, as if they were old acquaintances for many years. ,?No one would have thought that there would be a fierce confrontation between the two. "Secretary-General Cao, I am a soldier, and I pay attention to cleanliness and neatness in my work. On the battlefield, when the situation between the enemy and us is clear, everyone faces each other with real swords and guns, and each has his own master. There is nothing strange. When the situation is stalemate, something like this will happen. That kind of situation is not unusual, so my opinion is simple, it is all for the final victory. I don¡¯t know what Secretary-General Cao thinks of my thoughts. " "Brother Ma is really refreshing, and he just wants to do things. In this way, we can quickly understand the situation and face all changes. I very much agree with what Brother Ma said. "If that's the case, then let's speak openly. I'm not very clear about the situation in other places, but. On the battlefield, there is no chance of survival for those who are in two different situations. They will eventually be abandoned by everyone and have a tragic ending. Of course, from a personal point of view, they are all for the best preservation of their own interests. It's because of such a fluke that many unpleasant things happened. I don't know what Secretary-General Cao meant. " Cao Dong was a little stunned and a little angry. Lao Ma didn't give him any chance to breathe. It was like this. Cao Dong felt his self-esteem was hurt by the words, and he thought of fighting back. However, Cao Dong was no longer a young man. After many years of official career, he understood too much about loving him. "Brother Ma, this also depends on the situation. Everyone knows the principle of repaying kindness with a drop of water and a spring of spring. Judging from the Liberation War, there are many senior Kuomintang officers who were listed as war criminals. Have you chosen the right path? " "Secretary-General Cao, I disagree with your understanding. I have already said that when the situation on the battlefield is unclear, many things will happen, but there is one condition. People who come in the middle of the war are either enemies or our own people. There is no middleman. If you think that both sides will benefit, you may lose everything when the dust settles. What I said is the truth that everyone agrees with. Rough principles are not rough. " Cao Dong's inner struggle is fierce. Judging from Lao Ma's attitude, Cao Dong feels that he has no room for maneuver. In other words, in this political game, he must make a choice, either. Continue to follow Li Guiyu and work hard, or turn the gun and help Yuan Zili to deal with Li Guiyu. Cao Dong will not give up. "Is there no other way, such as withdrawing?" "Secretary-General Cao, you understand that the war has begun. Is there any reason to withdraw? Can the bow and arrow shot be recovered?" Cao Dong has already I am speechless. It seems that Yuan Zili knows a lot of things. Moreover, Yuan Zili is not very optimistic about his show of kindness. If he wants to avoid trouble in the future, then he can only do it now. choose. Cao Dong didn't know whether Yuan Zili would be able to win a complete victory in the next step of the game, whether he could completely defeat Li Guiyu, and what his outcome would be. But at this point, if he still insisted on his previous views, no matter whether Yuan Zili No matter how the game between Zili and Li Guiyu ends, he will not end well. "Secretary-General Cao, let's drink, think slowly, don't be anxious." Facing Lao Ma's condescending attitude, Cao Dong could not lose his temper or even put forward opinions. In Cao Dong's heart, he believed that Li Guiyu could not defeat Yuan Zili of. Cao Dong is very clear about the relationship between Lao Ma and Yuan Zili. It can be said that sometimes it doesn't matter if he offends Yuan Zili, but if he offends Lao Ma, he will definitely suffer. "Brother Ma, I understand everything you said." "Okay, Secretary-General Cao, I'd like to toast you a glass of wine. On the battlefield, intelligence is the most important. Knowing yourself and the enemy will never be in danger. Everyone knows this truth. I think Secretary-General Cao should know better. "Lao Ma's words made Cao Dong feel cold. He understood that Yuan Zili knew a lot about the situation. He probably knew everything. It was ridiculous that he was still thinking about his relationship with Lao Ma. The horse bargained. At this moment, Cao Dong felt that he was already standing on the edge of the cliff. If he took one step forward, he might be shattered into pieces. Cao Dong suddenly felt discouraged and tired. He didn't know why he had such an idea. In the officialdom, people without a deep background rely on small tricks to fight, but in the end there is no good result. While making wedding dresses for others, they themselves will die without a burial place. "Brother Ma, I finally understand. This is how it is all my life. There is a time in life, but there is no time in life. Don't force it. It's ridiculous for me. I always look away and think that I am still in control of my destiny. But in the end, I am. Fate has played such a big joke on me. My requirements are not high, as long as I can live my days in peace and stability. If there is anything I think is necessary, I will definitely discuss it with Brother Ma. I just want it. After the dust has settled, find a quiet place and sit down peacefully.??Live quietly. " "Secretary-General Cao, I can understand your mood, but now is not the time to think about retreating bravely. You should always show something. Otherwise, with a few words of opening and closing your mouth, how should I say it? . " "Brother Ma, don't worry. Now that I have made a decision, I will definitely take action. However, I need to seriously consider which things are real and which things are superficial. It won't take long. Within two days, Brother Ma was waiting for news from me. There were some things I needed to sort out. " "Okay, Secretary-General Cao, I'm waiting for your news. Okay, let's not talk about other things. Let's drink. " Cao Dong was not drunk. Maybe Lao Ma didn't let go of his posture, or he had other considerations. When Cao Dong left the small restaurant, he was extremely sober. It was this sobriety that made Cao Dong painful, and he was with Li Guiyu. Time has passed for a day or two, and it is not easy to get into a director-level position. For this purpose, selling one's soul is a piece of cake. But now faced with selling one's soul again, to be fair, Li Guiyu didn't treat him well. That's right, although it is a process of exploitation from beginning to end, taking people's money to eliminate disasters is a transaction in the first place, and one should follow the rules of the transaction. I have worked hard for these years and look forward to making further progress. Who can Knowing that this is the ending. Cao Dong thought of Xu Xianyong and the decisive attitude when he talked to him. Yes, if a person loses hope or has no extravagant aspirations, he is invincible. Xu Xianyong's attitude. Change is the best explanation. It is already very late. Cao Dong is still sitting in the office. He needs to think about what to do. After all, he is not too clear about Li Guiyu's affairs. Many things begin with When he made plans and implemented them, he had no part in it. Therefore, Cao Dong was not very clear about what kind of things Li Guiyu had. However, the plans Cao Dong made for Li Guiyu determined Li Guiyu's decision to a certain extent. Cao Dong is confident about the direction of his decision-making. "Alas, this is the fate of me, Cao Dong. I have been exhausted all my life. I have worked hard for so many years. In the end, the moon is in the water and the flowers are in the mirror. Forget it. I accept my fate. Bar. " Cao Dong finally made up his mind. This time he was not thinking about getting promoted or making a fortune, but about how to preserve his future life. Cao Dong had a bottom line. He did not want to expose himself, that is, he had a bottom line. He said that he could not let Li Guiyu know that if Lao Ma or Yuan Zili could not agree to this condition, Cao Dong would go all out and resign immediately, leaving nothing to do. Cao Dong finally knew that it would not be too difficult if he let go of all his burdens. Lao Ma, agree to Cao Dong's conditions. I think this Cao Dong still has some basic conscience. Alas, the game in the officialdom has harmed so many talents. "
