Looking at Lao Li''s sharp eyes, I don''t know why, I dare not lie and say: "Lao Li."


    "Lao Li?" Lao Li said.


    "Well..." I honestly said: "he said you are a man of great wisdom, let me come to you for advice."


    Lao Li''s expression was a little relaxed and he laughed: "Lao Li I don''t deal with him much. He asked you to come to me for advice. It''s really interesting Doesn''t he have an idea? "


    I said, "he seems to value you very much Say you''re a hermit. "


    "The man of the great hermit." Lao Li said with a smile: "he is very good at speaking I''m a common man, a commoner, how can I be a hermit What else did he tell you about me? "


    "If I didn''t say anything else, just tell me that if I really want to help the editor in chief, I''ll come to you and say you might have a way." I said.


    "Did you really say anything else?" Lao Li said.


    "Really not..." I said, "what? What do you think he can tell me about you? "


    "Oh, hehe, nothing." Old Leighton stopped and looked at me: "man, I want to know why you want to help the editor in chief?"


    I said: "because I think he was wronged in this incident. He was framed by someone. The editor in chief is a learned intellectual and engaged in conspiracy. He obviously can''t do it. I feel very unfair and sympathize with him. Therefore, if I can help him, it can be regarded as a good thing."


    Lao Li took a deep breath and said, "there are more unfair things in this world and more people are framed. Can you help them all?"


    I said, "no I don''t care what I can''t see or know, but what happens in front of my eyes, if I just sit back and ignore it, I always feel that it''s something Just like that time when you suddenly fainted at the seaside, there must be a lot of people in the world who suddenly fainted like you. I can''t see that nature can''t help, but when I meet you, I can''t help This is the basic conscience of life. "


    Lao Li looked at me for a moment in silence and nodded: "maybe your words are reasonable How do you want to help him? "


    I said: "this incident mainly angered the Secretary of the municipal Party committee. The Secretary of the municipal Party committee was very angry. The editor in chief must have no good fruit to eat. Now the editor in chief is the host of the group, and he has a lot of responsibility. I guess he will be punished seriously. If he can''t get rid of the black hat, he will lose it. He has worked hard all his life, and when he is about to retire, he will end up like this. I always feel miserable .


    "After this incident, there is basically no hope for him to work in the group, but I hope he doesn''t end up too miserable In fact, I think this matter can be big or small. As long as the Secretary of the municipal Party committee lets him go, the problem will be big and small. But if the Secretary of the municipal Party committee does not let go, the problem will be big. "


    After listening to me, Lao Li pondered for a long time and said, "the solution to the problem is very simple, that is, let the Secretary of the municipal Party committee let him go. If you can talk to the Secretary of the municipal Party committee, it''s no problem."


    I said, "this is nonsense. Do you think I can?"


    "Do you think I can?"


    "I don''t think you can."


    "What do you think I can do for him?"


    "This Isn''t it for you to make up your mind? "


    "I haven''t already said the idea."


    "You''re a good idea. You didn''t say it."


    "Then I have no other way. You think I am a Buddha with vast powers."


    When I heard this, I was discouraged: "so, you don''t have any good ideas."


    "Well, yes." Lao Li said.


    I sighed with disappointment: "Lao Li still has high hopes for you. It seems that he overestimates you too..."


    Lao Li said, "he shouldn''t have asked you to come to me. This is a bad idea He''s such a big official. What can I do if I''m a bad old man? Isn''t he making a fool of me? "


    I nodded: "well, it''s also It''s hard for me to help you. "


    Lao Li looked at me quietly, and then laughed: "Hey, man, don''t worry. It''s not your own business. You can manage what you can, and don''t force what you can''t help You see, with a kind-hearted person like you praying for him, your editor in chief may really be able to escape death. "


    "According to the current situation, I think it''s tough."


    "I don''t think so."


    "You''re standing and talking. You don''t feel lumbago. You''re not the client. Naturally, you don''t feel true."


    Lao Li said, "are you the client?"


    "I Not really. "


    "What are you doing. Don''t mess around any more. Do your own business honestly. As long as your heart is there, you can''t help. Don''t be hard on yourself. It''s useless. " Lao Li said: "I think that you, the hapless editor in chief, with such a God as you praying in secret, will surely turn the bad into the good. Of course, as you said, he really has little hope of supporting the right after such a big thing, but it may not come to a miserable end. Maybe the Secretary of the municipal Party committee will be angry and soft hearted. It seems that he has worked hard for many years Let him go for the sake of strength. "I gave a wry smile: "let me borrow your lucky words I hope so. "


    Lao Li picked up his cup and took a sip of tea: "Hey, man, this tea is really fragrant Come on, have a drink. "


    Lao Li fooled me into looking for Lao Li, but I got nothing. I was a little disappointed, so I didn''t feel like tasting tea.


    "I''m surprised."


    "Strange what?"


    "I wonder why Lao Li asked me to come to you." I said.


    "It''s not surprising." Lao Li looked calm with a smile on his face: "you go to Lao Li for help. If he can''t help you, he wants to kick the ball out and send you away. So he kicks the ball to me and asks you to come to me and make yourself clean Isn''t that normal? "


    I thought about it: "it seems that Lao Li is not such a person."


    Lao Li said with a smile, "do you mean that I didn''t really want to help you and didn''t give you a good idea?"


    "I didn''t say that."


    "But what you mean in your words seems to be like this..." Lao Li jokingly said: "Hey, man, I really don''t have any good ideas. You see, you are my life-saving benefactor. I regard you as my good friend and my son. If I can help you, I will help you. I don''t need to spend anything to come up with ideas. Can''t I give up this brain cell? Man, understand me a lot... "


    I listened to Lao Li and nodded: "well, Lao Li, I was a little difficult for you just now. I''m sorry."


    Lao Li said: "among friends, don''t say such kind words. I''m afraid you''re out of touch Xiaoyi, don''t have any psychological pressure and burden. You have tried your best to be the editor in chief and have a clear conscience


    "In officialdom, such things are even worse than that. You and I are not saviors. We can''t save the world. You can only watch, listen and do nothing about many things


    "It''s better not to fight against injustice in officialdom. It''s not good for you. Otherwise, you will not only help others, but also drag yourself in. The gain is not worth the loss I still said that with a kind-hearted person like you, your editor in chief might escape this disaster


    "You don''t have any intimate relationship with him. You have done your best to do this. Enough Well, you''re not only praying for him, but also me. I''m praying for your editor in chief because you''re my friend and kind-hearted person. "


    Lao Li''s words are quite relaxed.


    For Lao Li''s sake, I really can''t say anything more. Although I''m disappointed, I think Lao Li''s words are very reasonable. Yes, I don''t have a deep acquaintance with the editor in chief. When things come to this stage, it depends on his nature. Let him live or die.


    Lao Li looked at me and hesitated. Then he took out his mobile phone: "you sit here for a while, I''ll go out and make a phone call."


    I nodded and Lao Li went out with his cell phone.


    I sit here alone, making and tasting my own tea, thinking silently about the poor editor in chief and the director of the editor in chief''s office.


    Lao Li''s phone call was pretty good. It took about 20 minutes for Lao Li to come back. He came in and sat opposite me, looking at me and smiling.


    Old Li said, "what do you mean? It makes me hairy. "


    "Ha ha, it''s nothing. I''m happy to see you, isn''t it?" Lao Li said.


    "Yes, why not." I said.


    "When you drink tea with old friends, you should keep your spirits up. Don''t be so depressed." Lao Li said.


    "Ha ha..." I laughed.


    "Girl, come here to make tea..." Lao Li called out, and then the waiter came in, sat between me and Lao Li and began to make tea.


    Lao Li took a few sips of tea and looked at me: "man, have you found that this man is a high-grade animal. In fact, he has many things in common with other animals in nature To a large extent, this animal''s world outlook is similar to that of human beings, especially those in officialdom. "


    I said, "I don''t feel I don''t understand what you''re talking about, but it looks like it''s powerful. "


    Lao Li laughs: "I can''t understand. I''ll give you an analogy. For example, the tiger''s nature is to not only establish the authority of saying one thing but also allow others to touch your ass occasionally. The tiger''s ass can''t be touched. This is the nature of the tiger.


    "In officialdom, if you sit upright and don''t laugh all day, you will be divorced from the masses. So you have to joke with your subordinates from time to time to show that you are amiable and approachable. However, you must grasp the degree well, otherwise you will be said to have no authority."


    I laughed: "you old man, don''t mix officialdom, but you know officialdom very well."


    Lao Li laughs: "sometimes outsiders can see better Another example is the weasel. The weasel can try to steal chickens at night and pay New Year''s greetings to chickens in the daytime. What kind of kindness can weasels give new year''s greetings to chickens? A weasel''s New Year greeting to a chicken is not kind. However, when you mix up in the officialdom, you must master the weasel''s trick. The more you want to eat a chicken, the more you have to pay New Year''s greetings to it."For example, if you want to get money, you have to give hints to the rich; if you want to steal sex, you have to give hints to the beautiful. Although it''s a little tired, such hypocrisy is necessary, and it works repeatedly. There is a saying that civilization is not spiritual during the day, but spiritual at night This is a true portrayal of officialdom today. "
