C1443 Listening to One's Heart
"Hello, Minister Guan!" I answered the phone.
"Hello Director Yi!" Guan Yunfei's mocking voice came over the phone.
"Hur hur." I smiled.
"Where?" Guan Yunfei said.
I said, "In Hsinghai."
"Nonsense." Guan Yunfei said.
"Hehe, in a coffee shop in Hsinghai." "No," I said.
"With whom?" Guan Yunfei said.
"With a friend. My friend just left. I'm here alone." "No," I said.
"Boyfriend or girlfriend?" Guan Yunfei said.
"What is it? Minister Guan, check my personal life? " I said, feeling vaguely uneasy.
"What is it? Surprised? Just a casual question from me is enough to frighten you? " Guan Yunfei said in a joking tone.
"Mu Youjiu is scared. Hur Hur." I laughed dryly.
"So, Mu Youxin was just a person who unintentionally overheard the conversation?" Guan Yunfei said again.
"How could that be? Minister Guan sure knows how to joke around." "No," I said.
I thought, I can't tell Guan Yunfei that I just finished my coffee with Qin Lu. I can't let him know what kind of contacts I have with Qin Lu.
This was my instinct and my subconscious thought.
"I'm just teasing you. It's fine even if you have coffee with your girlfriend." Guan Yunfei smiled and said, "If you don't work properly and come out for a cup of coffee, aren't you too free?"
"It's a combination of effort and ease." "No," I said.
"What day is it today?" Guan Yunfei changed the topic.
"Wednesday." "No," I said.
"What's up on Friday?" Guan Yunfei said.
"There's something." "No," I replied.
"What is it?" Guan Yunfei said.
"I'm going to the provincial capital on Friday to send my senior sister there." "No," I said.
"Haha, well, very good. You have a good memory." Guan Yunfei laughed.
"How could I dare to forget the arrangements by the Leader?" "No," I said.
"Dongkai is coming to the provincial capital on Friday, do you know?" Guan Yunfei said.
"Got it." I answered directly.
"Oh." Guan Yunfei replied with a long 'oh', as if he was slightly surprised.
"Secretary Sun is going to the provincial capital to send you off. Take Cao Lee with you." "No," I said.
"Yes."
"Originally, he wanted to bring me along, but you rejected him." I added, "I was sitting next to Secretary Sun when he called you."
"So that's how it is." Guan Yunfei smiled. "You don't have a problem with that, do you?"
"Of course I don't have any objections. I urged Secretary Sun to call you and ask for permission." "No," I said.
"Yes."
"Yes, Secretary Sun called me into his office and told me that he was going to the provincial capital to send you off. He wanted to take me and Cao Lee there with him. So I suggested that he call you first and ask for your entourage. " "No," I said.
"So you're kicking the ball at me." Guan Yunfei said.
"Yeah, I had no other choice at that time. It could only be like this." "No," I said.
"Yes." You didn't tell Dongkai that you were going to send your Senior Sister to the provincial capital, right? " Guan Yunfei said.
"I wouldn't suggest he call you if he did." "No," I said.
"Very good, you did very well." Guan Yunfei said, "Don't tell anyone about this matter that I've arranged for you. This is my private matter and I don't want others to know about it."
"I understand." "No," I said.
"Dongkai and Cao Lee will leave for the provincial capital on Friday morning. As for you, you can leave in the afternoon. When we get there, be careful not to run into them. " Guan Yunfei said.
"Alright, I will pay attention." "No," I said.
"Do you find it strange that I should arrange this?" Guan Yunfei said.
I said, "I'm not surprised."
"Why?" Guan Yunfei said.
"Because I've never thought about it before. I only know to follow the Leader's arrangements. As for the reason, I don't think about it, and I won't think too much about it." "No," I said.
"Hehe, you clever and cunning little thing." Guan Yunfei seemed very satisfied with my answer.
"In front of the Leader, I don't dare to say that I'm smart, much less that I'm crafty." "No," I said.
"Dongkai is bringing you to the provincial capital to send me off. Have you thought about why?" Guan Yunfei said.
"I have." "No," I said.
"What do you think?" Guan Yunfei said.
I said, "This is what Secretary Sun has done to me. He wants to create an opportunity for me to get close to Big Leader, an occasion where I can get close to Big Leader."
"What else?" Guan Yunfei said.
"I don't have any." "No," I said.
"I didn't expect you to be used as a camouflage partner." Guan Yunfei said.
"I've never thought of it, and I don't dare to think of it." "No," I said.
"After praising you for being smart, you turned silly." Guan Yunfei said.
"I have to be silly when I have to be." "No," I said.
"So, you're still very smart. You actually know what you're doing?" Guan Yunfei said.
"In front of the Leader, I will never be smart. No matter how good I am, I will never be better than the Leader." "No," I said.
"Haha." Guan Yunfei laughed, laughed, and said, "Okay, Yi, it looks like I haven't trained you for nothing, and I'm getting better and better at talking, knowing where to talk to and who to talk to. "That's right, this is how it is. You need to learn how to see things with your eyes, and how to see things with your eyes. Observing things with your eyes is an essential skill in an official's field. I see that you are progressing very quickly."
"It's all the result of Minister Guan's nurturing and teaching." "No," I said.
"Enough, stop flattering me. Whether you flatter me or not, I have absolute trust in you." Guan Yunfei said.
"Oh."
"Do you know why?" Guan Yunfei said.
"I don't know." "No," I said.
"Because of my understanding of your character and temperament, because of my understanding of your character and ability, and also because of the relationship between you and your senior sister. For all these reasons, if I don't trust you, who else can I trust? " Guan Yunfei said.
I don't know how much Guan Yunfei can trust me, or how much he can trust me to, but I know that he definitely won't trust me very much. After all, I don't have much contact with him, and I'm not a part of his inner circle.
I think so myself, and I don't know if he thinks so in his heart.
However, I still said: "I am very honored and grateful to Minister Guan for his trust in me. I will not fail to live up to Minister Guan's trust."
"Yes." I'm glad you said that. " Guan Yunfei said, "I called you today, in addition to reminding you about Friday, I also want to remind you about sending your Senior Sister to the provincial capital on Friday. You have to avoid everyone and don't let anyone know about it, not to mention running into Dongkai and the others in the provincial capital."
"Alright!" I agreed, but in my heart, I didn't understand why Guan Yunfei was so secretive about it. Why would it be shameful to take his wife on a trip abroad? Why didn't he get Dongkai to bring Xie Fei along with him? Why must I personally send you off?
Although he wanted to, he didn't say it out loud. Since he had already made such arrangements, he would execute them.
After answering Guan Yunfei's phone call, I sat in the coffee shop and continued smoking. I pondered about Guan Yunfei's real intention of calling me. After pondering for a long time, I still couldn't think through it.
Recalling the conversation with Qin Lu just now, thinking about Guan Yunfei and Xie Fei who were about to leave the country, and thinking about the war that could break out at any time between the three of them, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Thinking about Sun Dongkai who was taking Cao Lee to see Guan Yunfei off, thinking about the conversation I overheard that day between Cao Lee and Sun Dongkai, Sun Dongkai would give Guan Yunfei a hundred thousand "pocket money" this time. For Sun Dongkai and Guan Yunfei, this money isn't a big amount, it could even be said to be pocket money, but would Guan Yunfei accept Sun Dongkai's filial piety?
According to the subtle relationship between Sun Dongkai, Lei Zheng, and Guan Yunfei, would Guan Yunfei want the money? Did Sun Dongkai not understand the relationship between the two? Obviously, he knew. Since he knew, why did he give Guan Yunfei such a huge amount of money? Didn't he know that Guan Yunfei would refuse?
Or Sun Dongkai thought, "It doesn't matter if you want this one hundred thousand or not, as long as my heart is here. It's fine if I let you know that I have this kind of feelings for you, and it's fine if you know that you're high and mighty in my eyes."
If that was the case, if Guan Yunfei didn't want the 100,000, then the 100,000 would definitely not be refundable. It would obviously become Cao Lee's or Sun Dongkai's pocket money and end up in their own pocket. As for the group finance department, they would also make the accounts perfectly complete, without any flaws.
Now that he thought about it, Sun Dongkai's purpose for taking Cao Lee to the provincial capital was not only to see Guan Yunfei off, but also to do something for Cao Lee, which Sun Dongkai had said the other day was to get Cao Lee, the internal food stamp, to live up to her name.
Perhaps this was Sun Dongkai's real purpose in bringing Cao Lee. After all, Cao Lee was Sun Dongkai's most caring person. She had done too much for Sun Dongkai. Not only did she help him at work, but she had also given him her body. It was unjustifiable for her not to do anything for Cao Lee.
If Cao Lee wanted to improve, Guan Yunfei could not be avoided. Guan Yunfei was even the most important factor. It was impossible for the entire publicity system to promote any of the cadres without Guan Yunfei's permission.
Although Guan Yunfei was currently studying in the provincial capital, he was always controlling everything in the department remotely. All major matters in the department had to be reported to him, and he had to keep a close eye on the movements of the units under Ministry of Propaganda.
Thinking about it this way, Sun Dongkai brought Cao Lee to send Guan Yunfei off. His real purpose was to give Cao Lee a chance for her to improve. After all, Cao Lee had been a CEO's assistant for quite some time. When she was promoted with Qiu Tong, Qiu Tong had already become the serious Vice President, and Cao Lee was still walking on the same path. How could Cao Lee, who had always suppressed Qiu Tong's limelight with jealousy and hatred, endure this?
At the same time, from Sun Dongkai's perspective, the harder Qiu Tong's wings were, the harder it was for him to control her. At the same time, from Sun Dongkai's perspective, the harder Qiu Tong's wings were, the harder it was for him to control her.
If he wanted Cao Lee to be able to control Qiu Tong, the best way would be to let Cao Lee and Qiu Tong be on the same level and raise her up.
Of course, other than suppressing Qiu Tong, there were also many benefits to promoting Cao Lee. Cao Lee was Sun Dongkai's confidante, if she joined the Party committee team, then the benefits to Sun Dongkai would be obvious; it would be more beneficial to Sun Dongkai's strength in Group Party Committee, and also be an important force in the infighting between him and Secretary Ji.
As such, there were many benefits in promoting Cao Lee. If he wanted Cao Lee to promote him, he would have to go through Guan Yunfei. This was the most important part.2
Of course, this did not exclude the fact that Sun Dongkai was working in front of the other heads of other departments. However, even if they were to do all the other things well, as long as Guan Yunfei, who held the authority to promote, did not nod his head, everything would be for naught. Qiao Shida would not do so unless he was forced to agree with Guan Yunfei. However, the possibility of such a decision was extremely low.
