C452 The Great Change of Old Li

However, when I saw Lee this time, I couldn't help but be a little surprised. In less than a year, Lee had actually become so old, his once jet-black hair had turned a little gray, and his once calm and confident gaze now appeared somewhat aged and despondent.

I know the reason behind the great changes that have occurred to Comrade Lee. Although he still holds the position of vice president, his authority is vastly different. Vice chairman of the PCC, what kind of position is this? I understand how a person feels when he falls from the peak of power to the bottom, but I have never experienced it.

Right now, seeing the huge change in Comrade Lee, he couldn't help but to have some regrets. Power can bring a person back to life, but it can also make a person perish. Among government people, the most important thing is the level and power.

Of course, this is only a wishful thinking on my part. I thought that Lee had suddenly aged after the sudden change in situation. Before I had a deep conversation with Lee, I hadn't thought of any other factors.

Yes, indeed, if anyone else were to see Lee now, they would think that Lee's change was due to the loss of his power. No one would think of any other reason. This was also human nature, and it made sense.

She had followed her husband and transferred him from a high-profile position to a casual position. Usually, for ordinary people, when the old couple is free at the same time, it is rare for them to be free and there is a comfortable position for them to be living in. How blissful and comfortable would that be?

However, to Lee and Mrs Lee who had played on the field for half their lives, they might not have this kind of carefree mood. The feeling of great loss due to the loss of power, the huge change in the power environment, and the sudden huge change in the human nature that accompanied the loss of power, would all deeply stimulate them.

In fact, I did not think of it at this time, after the loss of power, I became a fish in the bucket, a human being, a butcher, a former political enemy and his enemies after the fall, and even became a tool of some power struggle, miserable and despondent.

"Hur hur, aren't you Yi?" Lee looked at me with a smile, put down his fishing rod, stood up and extended his right hand to me.

Out of respect for my elders, out of respect for Lee Shun and Qiu Tong, I immediately grabbed Lee's right hand with my hands: "Yes, I am Yi. Hello, Director Li... "Li City …" For a moment, I couldn't find the right name to call him Lee.

I know that the downtrodden officials all have a habit, they don't like people calling them their positions now, they like old subordinates and acquaintances calling them their positions at their peak.

For example, Lee in front of me, at his best, he was a police chief and deputy mayor. Both of these positions are very impressive, but he's not the same anymore, so I'm afraid that calling him President Li would be inappropriate.

Because of these, I am not used to addressing Comrade Lee as President Li at the moment. Therefore, I choked here for a moment.

Lee smiled magnanimously, as if he had realized my state of mind. He held my hand and shook it lightly: "Yi, I am already a second-tier person. Don't call me by my title."

"Ah — okay." I was immediately relieved and respectfully greeted, "Uncle Li."

Lee laughed again, "Yi, don't call me uncle. Look, I'm a lot older than before. Now that you called me uncle, I feel even older. I don't want to be old. How about this, you should make me feel a bit younger."

A thought flashed through my mind. Comrade Lee refused to accept that he was old and wanted to be young. If he didn't want me to call him uncle, then what would I call him? No, he's older than me! Then I'll call him big brother? No, he's much older than me, and he's even Lee Shun and Qiu Tong's father! In that case, he could only call him uncle.

"Haha, Uncle Uncle Lee." I cried.

"Ah — well, well!" Lee laughed heartily. It seemed that he was not in a bad mood.

Lee sat down again. I also sat cross-legged next to him. The two of us looked out at the boundless azure sea. Lee chatted with me while fiddling with the fishing rod in his hand.

"Yi, long time no see. Where are you now?" Lee said.

"I have returned to the Issuing Company, and have always been working under Boss Qiu!" "No," I said.

"Oh." Obviously, Lee didn't hear about this matter from Qiu Tong and Lee Shun. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a trace of comfort and happiness flashed in his eyes, "Good, good, good, let's go back now. "How is it? Is it comfortable working for Tong?"

Lee calls Qiu Tong for Tong, appears to be very fatherly ah, I feel inexplicably a few touched and kind.

"It's nice to meet you, Boss Qiu has been taking good care of me!" "No," I said.

"Tong is a sensible child. "Of course." Lee said.

I understood the meaning behind Lee's words. He meant that Qiu Tong was repaying me for saving her, but to me, these words seemed to have another meaning.

I suddenly thought of what they had done to Qiu Tong, and how the couple had come to the hospital to ask me to repay them. In their eyes, it was as if it was only right for them to accept the favor and accept the reward. If I gave you the favor, you would have to repay me, and since you gave me the favor, it was only right for me to do the same.

I thought about it and said, "Uncle Lee, I didn't go to work for Boss Qiu to accept any repayment, but because I liked the job and thought that it would make more sense for me to do it. Boss Qiu's care for me wasn't just about repaying me for saving her life, it was more about the ability and performance I displayed at work.

"Also, I did not save Boss Qiu back then for the sake of receiving some sort of repayment in the future. If I go to Boss Qiu and work for him, if it's because Boss Qiu accepted me as his benefactor, then I definitely won't go. "

Wu looked at me. "Yi, your point of view is very interesting. "In my opinion, it's reasonable for me to ask for a debt of gratitude. Even if you wanted to ask for a debt of gratitude, there's nothing wrong with that."2

"Uncle Lee, there is nothing wrong with your point of view. Everyone has thought so since ancient times. However, in my opinion, in this world, there is an endless complex called —" I paused, and looked at Lee with a pair of bright eyes.

"You did not seek repayment for your kindness." Lee's cloudy eyes jumped for a second and he mumbled it again. Then he raised his eyes and looked at the vast sea and then looked at me and smiled: "Yi, your point of view is a bit out of the ordinary. It's just that we are all secular people. "Humans live in such a realistic society. People living in real life are, in fact, realistic."

I smiled. "Ungrateful is a human mentality, a state of being a human being. Of course, my cultivation level is not high, but it is only slightly influenced by the education of the older generation. Uncle Lee, you are an esteemed senior, so you must be a role model for us at this point. "

In the end, I purposely put on a tall hat for Lee.

After listening to what I had to say, a hint of awkwardness appeared on Lee's face. He then fell into a long silence, looking at the sea for a long time without saying anything.

I pulled out two cigarettes and handed one to Lee. He took one and put it to his mouth. I started the ignition and lit it for him. Lee took a deep breath and slowly blew out two streams of smoke from his nostrils.

I lit them myself and sat cross-legged on the rocks, looking out to sea, listening to the seabirds chasing each other, smoking in silence.

I know that what I said didn't mean that I would be able to change Lee's way of thinking immediately, but, I hope that I would be able to affect him. After all, he is someone who has a lot of life experience and experience.

Changing a person's behavior was easy, but changing a person's mind required a process. It was impossible to do it overnight, especially for someone like Lee, who had a mature and stable mentality. I don't know how much I can change Lee, but I must do what I can.

I looked at the fishing rod in Lee's hand and said, "You are fishing here, I'm afraid it's not because you want to fish."

Lee looked at the fishing rod in his hand and then looked at me: "Hehe, I'm not with the fish, but I'm also not in the middle of the mountains and rivers."

"What's that about?" "No," I said.

Lee didn't answer me directly. He was silent for a while and then said: "I'm thinking about my life, the rest of my life, and the rest of my life. Looking back on this life, there are many times when life is simply fishing, fishing is like life. "

I feel that such a simple fishing exercise, from Lee's mouth, has become profound. I vaguely realized something, but I wasn't clear about it. Thus, I looked at Lee with a puzzled expression.

Lee looked at me and said: "As the name implies, fishing means dragging a fish out of the water and onto the shore. At times today, the opposite is true: the fish have dragged the man into the water. "

I have some sense.

I realized, Lee is not only a knowledgeable politician, but also a person with a strong sense of meaning. Of course, after so many years of experience in government, his thoughts might not all be correct.

It was a blessing in disguise, Lee had lost the power he held for a while, but now he had time to reflect on his own life.

Life is always like this. When you lose something, you will definitely gain something. This is the inevitability of the contradiction between things.

However, I don't know if Lee, who has yet to be completely separated from the government, will be able to have a peaceful ending just like this. Just like that, he would peacefully spend the rest of his life reminiscing about the government.

Once you are caught in it, it will be very difficult for you to escape. There are many times when you can only put yourself in a game of deceitful slaughter until the outcome is decided.

Lee was currently in an official position, but he had no power. In other words, he no longer had the ability to compete and fight. To him, this was undoubtedly the most tragic thing.

Lee seems to be very interested in talking with me, very interested. I don't know if he really likes to chat with me, or if it's because after the fall of power, there wasn't a hubbub around him, making him feel empty and lonely, but I filled this gap.
