Xu Chunliang initially thought that Zhang Song might do anything at all costs when he had no way out. After seeing him, he found that Zhang Song had not lost his mind, so he felt a little relieved.

After hearing Zhang Song's heart-to-heart sigh, Xu Chunliang whispered: "Director Zhang, are you going to say all these words to Secretary Zhou?"

Zhang Song nodded: "I am a cadre promoted by Secretary Zhou. Without Secretary Zhou, there would be no me today. Of course, I would not watch him become someone else's pawn and do such thankless things."

Xu Chun sincerely said that you are just a cover for Secretary Zhou. If the fire had not burned you, you would not have rushed to see Secretary Zhou. No matter how beautiful he said, he would still plead with Secretary Zhou and ask him to give you a glimpse.

Zhang Song realized that his words might not be able to win the trust of Xu Chunliang, and sighed and said, "From the momentum this time, I guess I am doomed. Anyway, I have no room for improvement, and it is no pity that I am taken down. I just don't want Secretary Zhou to fall into the trap of others because of this."

Xu Chunliang said: "You shouldn't ask questions. When there was such a big storm in Dongzhou BBQ City, from Secretary Zhou to me, I was somewhat affected. Why can you be unscathed?"

Zhang Song smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know why. Maybe this is the wonderful thing about others' layout. According to normal thinking logic, I am Secretary Zhou's secretary. If something happens to Secretary Zhou, I will definitely be in trouble, but I have been promoted. Most people will think that I betray Secretary Zhou for my own interests. Do you think so too?"

Xu Chunliang said bluntly: "I have doubted it."

Zhang Song sighed and said, "I don't. Secretary Zhou is calm and selfless. I have always respected him very much. Even if everyone betrays him, I won't."

Xu Chunliang thought to himself that Secretary Zhou should be one of the people who know Zhang Song the best. His attitude towards Zhang Song is by no means accidental, but these are the things between the two of them, and Xu Chunliang does not want to get involved.

Zhang Song said: "No matter what, I am very grateful to you, and I believe Secretary Zhou will definitely be grateful to you."

Xu Chunliang said calmly: "I hope he doesn't think I'm meddling in other people's business."

Xu Chunliang called Zhou Deming first, and happened to be in Nanjiang. Zhou Deming went to Nanjiang not to meet his father specifically, but accompanied Zhen Chun to see her mother. He arrived before his father.

When Zhou Deming heard that Xu Chunliang had also come to Nanjiang, he said happily: "I'm right here with my dad. Do you want him to answer the phone?"

Xu Chunliang said no, and asked Zhou Deming to ask Secretary Zhou if he had time to meet tonight.

Zhou Deming asked Xu Chunliang to wait, but soon replied to Xu Chunliang. Secretary Zhou asked him to come back after nine o'clock in the evening.

Xu Chunliang conveyed the words to Zhang Song intact. For Zhang Song, this was already very smooth. Without Xu Chunliang, he would have no hope of meeting Secretary Zhou.

Xu Chunliang told him the ugly words in front of him. He could go with him at night, but he had to wait outside first. Xu Chunliang must first meet Secretary Zhou and ask what he meant.

Zhang Song cooperated very well. After arriving at the hotel where Secretary Nanjiang Zhou stayed, he waited honestly in the parking lot.

Xu Chunliang came to the agreed location. Zhou Deming, who received the news in advance, was already waiting for him there. The two of them had not seen each other for a while. Zhou Deming obviously became much darker. According to him, the sea breeze blowing on the Xiangjiang River was blowing too much.

Xu Chunliang still admires Zhou Deming's cousin, and for Zhen Chun, he went to Xiangjiang to study for a master's degree without hesitation. According to him, he has successfully applied for the Ph.D. and plans to continue his studies in Xiangjiang and have plans to settle down in Xiangjiang.

Zhou Deming knew that Xu Chunliang must have something to do when he came to visit at this time, so he asked tactfully: "Chunliang, I heard that you are no longer working in the Dongzhou Civil Affairs Bureau?"

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Your news is a bit serious. I went to the Jeju Culture and Tourism Bureau for a while and now I plan to resign."

Zhou Deming said in surprise: "Resign? Why? Haven't you been doing well all the time?"

Xu Chunliang said: "There are too many restrictions in the system. I am a casual person by nature. After trying for so long, I still can't integrate it, so I just cut the mess quickly."

Zhou Deming nodded: "My mother also suggested that I take the civil service exam, but I don't like it myself."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "You see more thoroughly than me. I have only just figured it out until now."

Zhou Deming said: "After all, I'm a few years older than you."

"No matter how old you are, you have to call me brother."

Zhou Deming coughed twice, and this was indisputable.

As the two of them were talking, they had already arrived outside the door. The lights were on in the living room. Secretary Zhou sat on the sofa and waited for Xu Chunliang to come in.

Seeing Xu Chunliang enter the door, Secretary Zhou stood up and smiled and said, "Chunliang, you must have something urgent to come to me so late, right?"

Xu Chunliang said happily: "Secretary Zhou, I want to come during the day, but you don't have time."

Secretary Zhou nodded, stretched out his hand and shook Xu Chunliang, and the two of them sat on the same sofa.

Zhou Deming soaked a cup of Longjing for Xu Chunliang, and then went back to the room. Although he was very familiar with Xu Chunliang, he knew very well when he should avoid it.

Secretary Zhou said: "You went to Beijing a while ago. I was busy with official business and didn't have time to chat with you."

Xu Chunliang said: "I was in trouble at that time and I didn't care about visiting you. Just don't blame me."

Secretary Zhou said: "You kid, we are all our own family, so we will be polite if we say such words."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Secretary Zhou, let me tell you the truth. I was not going to come here today, but someone had to pester me over. I really couldn't hide my face, so I came."

Secretary Zhou said: "Is Zhang Song outside?"

Xu Chunliang secretly admired him. He was the old man who had worked hard in the system for many years and could guess who that person was at once. Xu Chunliang nodded.

Secretary Zhou did not show any unhappiness and whispered: "It doesn't make any sense for him to come to see me, some things were not originally targeted at him."

Xu Chunliang said: "But it will definitely affect him."

Secretary Zhou smiled and said, "How much influence can it have? People, you should not take things too seriously."

Xu Chunliang said: "The reason I brought him here is not because of him. He told me that this incident will also affect you."

Secretary Zhou nodded: "You let him come in, what are you doing when you hide outside?"

Xu Chunliang took out the phone, but Secretary Zhou stopped him and asked Zhou Deming to go out to pick up Zhang Song.

Not long after, Zhang Song followed Zhou Deming in. Xu Chunliang was still sitting in the living room, but Secretary Zhou disappeared. Xu Chunliang pointed to the direction of the study.

Zhang Song immediately understood that Secretary Zhou was going to see him alone. He pursed his lips and looked at Xu Chunliang with gratitude.

Zhang Song came to the study alone. The door was not closed, leaving a crack. Zhang Song knocked on the door and then pushed the door open and went in after receiving the approval.

After entering the study, Zhang Song closed the door with his backhand. A series of movements were like flowing water, and he had already formed muscle memory.

Secretary Zhou sat there, looking at Zhang Song's every move, as if he was back in the past. Times changed, their relationships and locations changed, but the past time could not be changed.

Zhang Song carefully came to Secretary Zhou and said respectfully: "Hello Secretary Zhou."

Secretary Zhou nodded: "You want to see me come here by myself, why do you still have to pass Xiao Xu?"

Zhang Songxin said, if it weren't for the bridge of Xu Chunliang, how could I have the chance to see you? I didn't dare to say this, and said in a more respectful tone: "I am not familiar with your current secretary."

This sentence was just a pun, showing his helplessness in his current situation. If you want to see Secretary Zhou, you must pass his secretary first. Once upon a time, the relationship between them became so alienated.

Secretary Zhou originally wanted to say you could call me, but he immediately remembered that Zhang Song had indeed called, but he didn't answer.

Zhang Song obviously thought of this and said respectfully: "Some things should be reported to you in person, but it is not convenient to say on the phone."

Secretary Zhou expressed satisfaction with his words and said softly: "Sit down, there is no need to be so restrained."

Zhang Song then sat down on the square stool beside him. Although there were chairs in the room, they were a little far away from Secretary Zhou, and it seemed that they were not prepared for him. The small square stool should have been moved here for a short time, probably for him to be a seat.

In this season, the small square stool is not cold but very hard.

After Zhang Song sat down, he placed his hands on his thighs and stretched his body forward, looking like he was listening to the leader's teachings.

Secretary Zhou said: "If you have anything to say, say it."

Zhang Song said: "Secretary Zhou, I am not here to defend myself or to help me. I have a few heartfelt words that I want to face you."

Secretary Zhou smiled and said, "The pure one will be clear. Without violating the principles, I will definitely help you who can help you. I am very pleased that you have such an awareness."

Zhang Song said: "Geng Wenjun was under double supervision." After saying that, he deliberately paused and observed Secretary Zhou's reaction.

Secretary Zhou's expression was not boring, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Zhang Song swallowed, and he continued to say out several cadres who were investigated one by one. This time he did not see Secretary Zhou's expression. Although he didn't look at it, Zhang Song felt an invisible pressure coming around him from all directions. I don't know if it was really such pressure or the reaction he had in his heart. Zhang Song even had difficulty breathing, but he insisted on finishing his words.

After Zhang Song finished speaking, Secretary Zhou did not speak immediately. The study suddenly became quiet. This quiet atmosphere made Zhang Song even more nervous. After a while, he heard his violent heartbeat and began to feel a sore throat. He wanted to drink a glass of water, but there was no one in front of him.

"Set up!" Secretary Zhou finally spoke.
Chapter completed!
