Chapter 384: The Death of Hou Yibing (1)

After attending Xu Lan's wedding, Xu Shaojie did not delay and returned to the provincial capital the next day. The rest stayed in Beijing and left one day. Because it was the May Day holiday, there were many people traveling to Beijing and no one was interested in going out for a trip. Xu Shaojie explained the situation because the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department had just had an assessment and had studied at the Party School for two months. Now, we must go back to Huai'an City to see what the situation is.

Looking back on the actions in Beijing, Xu Shaojie still felt a little inappropriate. He always wanted to keep his relationship with Mr. Xu Shukun. Because of Xu Zhuxin's actions and Minister Xu Shukun's wedding, many people may know that many people have. However, for Xu Lan's happiness, Xu Shaojie would not consider so much. If everything needs to be calculated and calculated in the middle, what's the point? Some things are even though they know that they are not very good to do, but as long as they can get the due results, Xu Shaojie will definitely do it.

After getting off the plane, Yang Chen was already waiting outside the airport. Xu Shaojie told him to go directly to Huai'an City, not to delay in the provincial capital, and to go back and take a look. Xu Shaojie knew that he was about to be promoted. Although he was still working in Huaiyang City, he would not directly take care of Huai'an City. Therefore, there are some things that must be implemented as soon as possible. Xu Shaojie did not expect any personal matters, which are all things in the city. The most important thing is Song Tao's arrangement. Xu Shaojie would not take Song Tao to Huaiyang City. Song Tao should go down to hone his skills. Xu Shaojie had already thought about it. Song Tao went to Yudu Township and became the township chief. Zhang Shikui had served as the *** for too long, so he should have adjusted it long ago. As for Yang Chen, he still had to follow the Huaiyang Municipal Government to solve the level problems for Yang Chen. When he was in the Huai'an Municipal Party Committee Office, it was difficult to arrange it. When he was in the Huai'an Municipal Party Committee Office, it should be much easier to arrange it when he arrived at the Huaiyang Municipal Government.

Along the way, Xu Shaojie was thinking about what else to do in Huai'an City needs to be arranged immediately. Xu Shaojie would not make a big move in regards to personnel adjustments, that is, to adjust several necessary positions, and at the same time put forward some suggestions to the Huaiyang Municipal Party Committee, such as Qian Dazhi can be promoted and used, and Liu Juan can be appointed as the executive vice mayor of Huai'an City. As for Zhou Kunsong, he could suggest that he be appointed as the deputy *** of the municipal party committee. Xu Shaojie would not talk too much about the arrangement of the official position. This is not something he needs to worry about.

When the car entered Huaian City's territory, Xu Shaojie felt a familiar breath. He left for nearly two years. It seemed that he had not seen these scenery that had already been in his mind for a long time. The seedlings in the fields had grown green and white vegetable greenhouses everywhere. Under the sunlight, they seemed to reflect a soft light. It was summer soon. These greenhouses were going to rest for a while. Many farmers would take advantage of this time to go out to find some small things to do. Huaian City is still easy to find, as long as they are willing to endure hardships.

It is now during the May Day holiday, and many people choose to go out for fun. The Golden Week holiday, which began this year, has had unexpected results. A large number of cadres and employees go out for tourism, and tourism companies in various places are booming. This situation is probably something that many people did not expect. Xu Shaojie remembers that the implementation of the Golden Week holiday seems to have a certain relationship with stimulating consumption. Judging from the current results, this purpose seems to have been achieved.

The car had not yet entered the lost city, and Xu Shaojie's cell phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and it was an unfamiliar number. Because there were too many calls recently, Xu Shaojie sometimes did not answer the number. However, he was in a good mood today and returned to Huai'an City. Therefore, Xu Shaojie did not consider it and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Xu***, hello."

The voice was a little familiar, and Xu Shaojie couldn't remember who called the phone.

"Hello, I am Xu Yijie, who are you?"

"Xu***, I am Hou Yibing. I haven't met for a long time. If Xu*** has time, I want to meet you. I hope Xu*** can give me this opportunity. I am at home now. If Xu*** is willing to meet me, I will follow your arrangements. It is best to meet today. You can determine the location."

Xu Shaojie was very surprised. How could Hou Yibing think of seeing him? Besides, how did Hou Yibing know that he returned to Huai'an City today? However, all this cannot be answered now. You have to wait until you meet. Within a few seconds, Xu Shaojie made a decision to meet Hou Yibing. Over the years, I heard that Hou Yibing had been living in seclusion and almost lost contact with the outside world. He also seemed much older. A 40-year-old man looked like a little old man.

"Okay, I'll treat you to lunch at noon. I'll be in Huaiyang Hotel at 12 o'clock, the specific private room, I'll notify you later."

Xu Shaojie fell into deep thought again. He didn't understand what would happen to Hou Yibing. In Xu Shaojie's impression, the intersection between him and Hou Yibing was almost no happy time. Hou Yibing was a very good person and capable. Although there was an incident in Shalong County that officials were under control, the social security situation was still good. In other words, Hou Yibing's job was still good. After the election storm occurred, Xu Shaojie paid attention to Hou Yibing's resume. Hou Yibing started with Huang Haitao and rose step by step. He served as the deputy county party committee member. He has always been the anti-assessment of the assessment.

The Ying is very good, which shows Hou Yibing's ability. Xu Shaojie has never believed that he should not underestimate anyone. Things in the officialdom and the changes in the situation. Many people who look inconspicuous later reached a high position and took action against those who were once unfavorable or disrespectful to him. Looking at ancient Chinese history, there are too many lessons in it. Some capable and conceited people eventually lost their lives because they look down on others. Times have changed, but the ideas left over from thousands of years will not be affected in a short period of time. Xu Shaojie is a college student in the Chinese department and has read many books, but there is still some understanding of this.

When getting off at the entrance of Huaiyang Hotel, Xu Shaojie looked at the watch. At 11:50, there were still 10 minutes before the agreed time. This Vacheron Constantin's watch was given by Dai Jin. Xu Shaojie and Tang Wanrou were both wearing it. Until now, Xu Shaojie didn't know the specific price of this watch, and he had never cared about it. In Xu Shaojie's eyes, the watch was just for viewing time and had no other important role. As for some wealthy people in society, they wanted to use luxury goods to reflect their status. Xu Shaojie looked down on such a method and would not do that.

The waiter in the hotel knows Xu Shaojie and often eats here. The general leaders and the waiter in the hotel are familiar with each other. Soon, the waiter smiles and leads Xu Shaojie to the private room he booked. Seeing this attitude, Xu Shaojie thought that Hou Yibing had arrived and was waiting in the private room.

When the waiter opened the private room, Xu Shaojie saw that Hou Yibing was indeed sitting inside, smoking a cigarette alone. The color on Hou Yibing's face was not very good. It looked sickly pale, and his whole temperament looked a little decadent, which was completely different from what Xu Shaojie had seen before. Xu Shaojie was very surprised. It was not seen in more than three years, and Hou Yibing became like this, which was simply inconsistent with the formerly energetic Hou Yibing.

"Xu***, thank you for coming here on time."

"Hou Yibing, we haven't met for a long time. I didn't expect you to have such a big change."

"It's nothing. I've gotten used to it. For nearly four years, I've been reflecting many times. In theory, I shouldn't have seen you because I can't get rid of my resentment towards you."

Xu Shaojie's heart moved, Hou Yibing resented him, Xu Shaojie didn't find it strange, the key is that Hou Yibing wanted to meet him. In the current situation, would there be something to say?

"Oh, I didn't expect that after all these years, you still hate me like this. There is nothing strange about this. I often think of Hou Laosi. He worked alone in society, and with some courage and ruthlessness, he had social status and money. Unfortunately, you probably wouldn't know that Hou Laosi had met me before committing suicide."

Hou Yibing did not show any excessive surprise.

"This is in my imagination. It would be a strange thing to say that Hou Laosi didn't see you. I know Hou Laosi's character very well. He has the aura of a gangster, but most of it is still simple. People who came from the countryside have been subjected to some strict discipline since childhood and cannot be damaged. I often dreamed of Hou Laosi. It was only recently that I understood some things, why Hou Laosi and I had such experiences in Shalong County."

Xu Shaojie threw the cigarette on the table. Hou Yibing was not polite, smoking one cigarette after another. When Hou Yibing said these words, Xu Shaojie did not speak. Xu Shaojie felt a strange feeling in his heart. Hou Yibing in front of him seemed to be at the end of a hero. Xu Shaojie temporarily forgot the grudge between Hou Yibing and him. At this time, Hou Yibing and him were ordinary friends, and they were having dinner together and they argued about some issues.

"Xu***, I might as well tell you that the Shalon County's campaign disruption and videotape were planned by me and had nothing to do with Hou Laosi. But Hou Laosi died because of these things, but I was alive. Therefore, I feel guilty every moment. When I was doing things, the view I followed was that everything was for myself. Now it seems that I was wrong. People live forever. Although everyone is working hard for their own good life, if they have no friends and relatives, no matter how much power and wealth they get, it will be a passing cloud."

Xu Shaojie wanted to speak very much. Looking at Hou Yibing's expression, he still didn't speak. At this time, Hou Yibing needed to talk. Perhaps over the years, Hou Yibing rarely talked to others.

"I think I am not bad at abilities, thinking of doing something great, but unfortunately, I ended up like this today. After I understand where I was wrong, I have no chance. I hate this society very much. I always seem to be so prey on the weak, happiness with power, and pain without power. Recently, I have been in the CPPCC for a few days and heard complaints. Many people think that they are capable and can do such sensational things in key positions. Some people point fingers at the incumbent leaders. It seems that everything they do is wrong. When they reach the final point of view, they still think that they are born at the wrong time. I feel it is ridiculous, but from among them, I also see my own shadow. Don't say frustrated things in front of the proud people, Xu***, you won't listen."

"Just say it, I'll listen."

"Xu***, from your expression, you listened to it. I was surprised and admired it. In your position like this, being able to listen to these words is not simple. I have also served as a leader and are still clear about the perfunctory expression. For a long time, I have not admitted that I had failed. I think I was not lucky. If I had done things carefully, this would not be the case. That election was successful according to my plan, and you would not be in Sharon County. Later, the videotape broke out and I knew it was completely over. I was ready to take all the responsibilities, but I didn't expect it."

"So I admire Hou Laosi. At that time, I felt that you were not simple. Judging from your words today, you did not realize where your failure was."

Hou Yibing's eyes gradually turned red. He smoked a cigarette hard and looked at Xu Shaojie.

"Hou Yibing, your biggest failure is that you are too conceited and look down on others. Your thoughts have formed a fixed trend. Those who follow me will prosper and rebellion against me will perish. You do everything, not based on feelings, but based on needs, you are always calculating. You are already the deputy county party committee member. Is there any need to make a video tape? Is there any county-level unit leader who doesn't listen to you and does things according to your requirements? Therefore, you will not consider the feelings of others. Although you are very capable and you are very powerful in Shalon County, the situation supported by your thoughts and behaviors will always be completely destroyed. If it were not for me when I arrived in Shalon County, it would be exposed at other times. With such a personality, even if you are the main leader, it will be difficult to unite your subordinates, and you will not be able to do what you want to do."

A strange smile appeared on Hou Yibing's face.

"Hou Yibing, maybe I'm talking more. You have some understanding. Looking at the current situation, it's good. In the officialdom, there are no eternal friends or enemies. In most cases, they start from interests. Unfortunately, your understanding is too extreme. I always think you are very capable. If you could correct your mentality at that time, maybe there would be no future. Anyone makes mistakes, and I am no exception. Anyone will suffer a blow. When a person is born, he is destined to suffer twists and turns. Some people can learn from the lessons, stand up and start over. Some people indulge in it all their lives, blame others and cannot extricate themselves. What is the final result? They are depressed and unsuccessful, physically and mentally damaged, and the rest of their lives are still alive. Hou Yibing, why are you doing?"

The private room was temporarily silent, the hot pot had been boiling for a long time, and neither of them wanted to eat or drink. Such a debate was very rare and precious to Xu Shaojie. Sitting together to eat with his former opponent or enemy and discussing many gains and losses is undoubtedly the best way to understand the essence of things.

"Let's stop arguing for the time being, eat, I know you can drink wine. Today, we two drink a bottle of wine. The ancients said it well, meet and smile to eliminate grudges. Don't think too much about the past."

Xu Shaojie opened the Moutai wine on the table, which he specially arranged.

(Thank you all, I will definitely work hard.)
