Xu Lao Fu Zi Xu Heng Tai, everyone says he has goods in his belly, it's dry goods, worldly affairs are clear and people's feelings are practiced. Unlike Old Liu Head Liu Zheng Feng, with a big belly, everything that comes out is water goods.

  "I know nothing, but perhaps I understand a little bit."

  Xu Heng's face had a lingering smile, and as soon as he thought about it, he immediately understood the reason behind it.

  The magnificent Construction Planning Bureau, for decades, did not have a decent comprehensive archive room. Many geological and construction materials were lost or damaged. The newly established archive room is the result of Xu Hengtao's efforts over ten years, no wonder he was beaming with joy, his face flushed with excitement, and he spoke more than usual.

  "Mr. Xu, you have to tell me something." He moved a chair and sat down beside Mrs. Heng.

  "Look at all these documents," said Mrs. Hsu with a smile, "do I have time to chat with you?"

  Toward the sky bright rubbing his head and laughed, "That's also true, Mr. Xu, don't expect me to deal with all this data in the house."

  Xu Heng smiled even more warmly, "I asked you to come over, not to deal with these things."

  "Was it you who brought me here?" Towards Tian Liang indeed didn't reach this point.

  "Hmm, are you still thinking about the deputy director position of that office?" Xǔ Héngtài nodded and said.

  Xiang Tianliang smiled self-deprecatingly, "Teacher Xu, I still have some self-awareness. In my situation, as long as I can keep my iron rice bowl safe, I'll be grateful."

  Xu Heng nodded in approval, "That's good, first calm down and then make gradual progress. Impatience can't swallow hot tofu, Rome wasn't built in a day, was it? I brought you here to avoid the storm and at the same time give you enough time to sort out those messy things."

  Tian Liang listened and was shocked in his heart, "Teacher Xu, are you saying that my matter is not over yet?"

  Xu Heng pushed his glasses and asked back: "Stop pretending with me, don't you think that things aren't over yet?"

  "Hehe, ginger is still spicy after all." Xiang Tianliang sighed.

  "So, your current job is stable, no one will take away your iron rice bowl, but to many people, you are a time bomb, you make them unable to eat or sleep, in short, your things can't be done."

  Xiang Tianliang stared at Xu Hengtai with a strange gaze, this old guy, who always thought he was superior and self-satisfied, never asking or pursuing others' business, what's wrong today, did the sun rise from the west?

  "What are you looking at?"

  "Teacher Xu, what's going on here..."

  "You think I'm asking, how did I suddenly remember to care about you today, right?"

  Nodded towards the sky and murmured in agreement.

  "You're afraid, aren't you? Afraid that I'll become the second Old Liu, with one set of words on my face and another behind my back, right?" Xǔ Héngtài asked with a smile.

  "Heh heh, that's what I think." Towards Xu Hengtai, there was nothing good to hide from Tian Liang, this old man had a poisonous gaze.

  Xu Hengdao said, "Your concerns are normal. In the government, it's all about give-and-take. Good people can do bad things, and bad people can do good things. It's not about being a good person or a bad person. Take Old Liu for example. You can't say he's a bad person, but these days, he's been doing nothing but bad things. But if you think about it calmly, you won't be able to hate him. Why? He's someone who is about to retire and is thinking more about himself, which isn't wrong. He listens to the old director's orders and plays the role of a yes-man. His eldest son got a job, his youngest son got a house for his wedding, and his own salary was raised by one level. He worked hard for his family, so can you say he's a bad person?"

  Toward Tian nodded and said: "You're right, I don't blame Old Liu. If he didn't do it, someone else would have."

  "That's right, that's the characteristic of this system, driven by interests, people's hearts are directed towards it, if you don't go up to take it, someone will rush to grab it. In the organization, those who fail can only blame themselves for being incompetent. You're the same, you can only rely on your own efforts to create a path that belongs to yourself, regardless of success or failure, no regrets."

  "Thank you, Teacher Xu, thank you."

  "Do you really want to know why I'm helping you?"

  "I've thought it over now."

  Xu Heng smiled and said, "When I first started working, I was a teacher at the Municipal Normal School. I worked there for three years. There was one person who helped me a lot, you could say he was my mentor in life. Can you guess who it is?"

  "Is it Liu Qingyang, Teacher Liu?"

  Xu Heng nodded with a hint of a smile, "Teacher Liu never told you about our relationship because I needed to observe you."

  It suddenly dawned on me that it's no wonder Liu Qingyang was so familiar with the situation at the Construction Bureau, and it's no wonder Xu Hengtao kept a distance from me, intentionally keeping cool. It turns out there was such a connection.

  "Teacher Xu, from now on, I'll be relying on you." Xiang Tianliang said with a smile.

  Xu Heng shook his head and said: "I can't help you, nor is there anything I can help you with. At least, that's how it is now."

  "Why?"

  "You also saw that as long as the old director doesn't leave and the new director doesn't arrive, the Construction Bureau will not be at peace, and you won't be at peace either."

  Xiang Tianliang asked in a low voice: "Teacher Xu, who do you think has the most hope among the four of them?"

  The so-called four people, of course, refer to the four incumbent deputy directors, Gao Xing, Chen Wenyun, Yu Feilong and Sun Zhanlu.

  "There is hope and there isn't," said Mrs. Xu Heng.

  "This is why?" Tian Liang was very puzzled.

  Xu Hengtao smiled and said: "Everyone has overlooked a problem, why does the superior have to promote locally, can't they just transfer someone from outside to the Construction Bureau?"

  "Right, so you're saying there's still no news now?"

  Xu Heng nodded and said: "That's right, but this has nothing to do with you. You should focus on solving your own problems first."

  Xiang Tianliang scratched his head again, "Teacher Xu, I'm completely at a loss now."

  "It's your business, Teacher Liu basically understands everything. I've been chatting with him these past few days. Now in your hands, you have at least grasped the secrets of Gao Xing, Yu Feilong and Sun Zhanluo, among which the one about Feilong is fatal, and for Gao Xing and Sun Zhanluo, it's enough to thoroughly crush their political hopes. This is equivalent to saying that you have a handle on them, you've got them trapped."

  Lost in thought, he said to Tian Liang: "You mean, I need to think of a way to get rid of that suit, so they won't pay attention to me."

  "Right, but for your own sake, don't lose the suit, just create an illusion that makes them think the suit doesn't exist."

  "I made a promise to certain people that as long as they don't mess with me, I won't detonate the bomb in my hand."

  "Infantile and political promises are not worth as much as rotten cabbage in a market."

  Xu Hengtao turned around and left.

  Tian Liang suddenly seemed to have an epiphany and was about to speak when the pager on his waist beeped.
