"Director Gu..."

"Director Su, don't call me that anymore. I'm no longer a director. If you want, just call me Lao Gu. Speaking of which, I think the name Lao Gu sounds very friendly." Gu Xianzhang said first.

"Okay, Lao Gu." Su Mu said with a smile without refusing this time.

"Director Su, this is the key project that our Provincial Development and Reform Commission has to study recently. As for the other small projects, I will sort out all of them. Zheng He will send it to you later. As for the other contents to be handed over, there is no need to say anything more, because they are all based on the procedures and are not complicated. You can know the content by just a glance at it."

After Gu Xianzhang handed the document to Su Mu, hesitated for a while and decided to say it, "After the handover, Director Su, can you listen to me tell you what I think?"

"I like to listen to the real words in my heart the most. Lao Gu, don't have any scruples. I don't really have much disgust towards you. I believe you know that from the day I landed in our Provincial Development and Reform Commission, I have never thought of making things difficult for you. But many things happening are not subject to our subjective will. Since the reality is like this, there is no way to change anything, then open the skylight and say it out loud. If you have any opinions about me and want to vent to me, I will take care of it even if I say it." Su Mu said simply.

"Director Su, you are honest and direct enough." Gu Xianzhang smiled bitterly.

"Yes, it's okay to be honest." Su Mu didn't hide anything.

"Actually, before I came in, I hadn't thought about how to discuss this topic with you, and I even thought I wouldn't discuss this with you. But your attitude made me feel ashamed. If I didn't say what I was in my heart, I would always feel a little uncomfortable. Therefore, today I would be open and talk to you about what should be said and what should not be said. If you think it is useful, listen to it. If it is useless, just treat it as the wind blowing away in my ears." Gu Xianzhang's face turned still as water.

"Old Gu, tell me." Su Mu smiled.

"Just as you said, when you airborne, I never thought of being an enemy with you. I didn't even have this idea in my mind. At that time, I just wanted to do a good job in the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. You may also know that. At that time, the Provincial Development and Reform Commission had no one-man statement, and there was no faction, and every deputy director was in charge of his own affairs. I, as the director, also liked to see that it was accomplished. As long as you didn't form a faction, I would always be able to control the whole audience."

"However, as your work unfolded, I found that the situation of the NDRC's independent governance began to change, and someone had gathered around you, which made me feel a little frightened. Later, the bankruptcy incident in Yandie County was a fuse. You successfully resolved this incident and established your absolute status in the NDRC. I thought extremely that if you could not suppress you, there would be no place for me to stand here sooner or later."

"So I started to target you and suppress you. In order to weaken your prestige, I arranged for you to go to Yanbei Province to conduct work exchanges within the Development and Reform Commission. But then I found out that gold will always shine. No matter how you suppress it, it is useless, because the more you suppress it, the more the gold will become brighter and brighter. Just then, you went to Washington. Although I didn't know what was going on there, through the strong attack of the National Development and Reform Commission, I forced all five Qi Jia and the others to get away. For Huang Dongmin, I guessed from this action that you might be unlucky and suffer. Therefore, I acted arbitrarily and adjusted your work, but I didn't expect that in the end I was still wrong. Not only did you not be unlucky, you rose up with a stronger attitude."

When he said this, Gu Xianzhang showed a bitter expression on his face, and a little bitter smile appeared on his lips. He stared at Su Mu and continued, "Su Mu, I will call you by relying on my old age. In fact, personally, I admire you. Because you are a real person who does practical things, you have never disappointed you since you came to our Provincial Development and Reform Commission. Even I must admit this. Putting aside the conflicts of interest, I will give you a thumbs up."

"It's because of this that you are jealous. The more you are, the more someone wants to step on you. I dare not say anything else, just in Wuyue Province, you must be careful about Huo Jiwen. I will fall to this point, in addition to my enemy and you, it is also his fuel. You must treat Huo Jiwen as the number one political enemy. You cannot relax at all in the face of him, and you must be on guard to the end. If possible, it is best to let him fight and let him leave here."

Su Mu's mind moved slightly.

Gu Xianzhang was really determined this time. If he could say Huo Jiwen, he could tell his determination. If it weren't for his heart that he had died, you would think Gu Xianzhang would dare to say the name Huo Jiwen casually, and would also say what he wanted to trample Huo Jiwen under his feet.

"Old Gu, I know how to do it." Su Mu did not make any statement casually.

After Gu Xianzhang said what he should say, his mood became more happy. Su Mu did not make any clear statement. In his opinion, it was normal. If Su Mu looked like a naughty man and ignored everything, he would just talk nonsense, and instead he would despise him.

"Director Su, then you are busy, I'll leave now."

After saying that, Gu Xianzhang stood up, shook hands with Su Mu and said goodbye, as if he suddenly thought of something, he smiled and said, "Director Su, the director of the office is managing all the messy things of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, which is a very important position. When I was promoted, Liu Jinzhang was a little selfish, but what I want to say is that this person is still of a level and has some ability. Of course, if you have a more suitable candidate, just treat it as if you don't have one, Liu Jinzhang can use it. I have already left my job, so there is no other meaning to say this."

"I understand." Su Mu smiled.

Gu Xianzhang then turned around and left.

No drops of water.

After Gu Xianzhang left the office, he felt in his heart. He dared to say that Su Mu must know what the words he said meant, but no matter what he said, Su Mu had no intention of making a conversation. He just said that I know, I understand, if you say such words, can Gu Xianzhang take the opportunity to cause something? No, this is the simplest ordinary conversation. And because of this ordinary, you can see Su Mu's power.

Gu Xianzhang.

Huo Jiwen.

Liu Jinzhang.

Su Mu stood in the office, stroking the project folder, and a mysterious smile appeared on her face.

Su Mu actually didn't care at all what Gu Xianzhang wanted to do. He really wanted to help himself, or was unwilling to give up, and wanted to take this opportunity to provoke a war between him and Huo Jiwen, which was not important.

A guy who has been taken from the position of director cannot cause any storm. Gu Xianzhang said something just now. At that time, several deputy directors were in charge of their own affairs. As long as he played the role of commander, he could handle everything. So in this case, Gu Xianzhang had not cultivated any direct descendants. After he resigned now, it is even more impossible for anyone to ventilate him.

Su Mu knew very well what he wanted. He knew how he should do things if he was in this position, so he was fearless.

"Is Liu Jinzhang?"

When Su Mu thought of Gu Xianzhang's recommendation before leaving, he asked Guo Fu to call Liu Jinzhang in. The position of office director is really indispensable. He is the main manager of the entire Provincial Development and Reform Commission and must stand on the same line as the director. Therefore, Su Mu must ensure whether Liu Jinzhang can be obedient and know what he is thinking. Only after all these are clear can Su Mu make the final appointment and removal decision.

Liu Jinzhang stood in the middle of the office, looking at Su Mu with a serious expression, "Director Su."

"Old Liu, do you know the reason why I called you in?" Su Mu said calmly.

"I know, how can I not know?"

Liu Jinzhang raised the corners of his lips bitterly, and a sad aura emanated from his body, "Director Su, you don't have to say anything. I know what you called me in. Isn't it just to transfer positions? Don't worry, I have decided to resign voluntarily. I know very well that from the day I followed Director Gu, I should be able to think of today's ending. I have never had any confidence in Director Gu, but he promoted me no matter how much he said, and I cannot betray him. Director Su, in fact, I have already prepared it. This is my resignation report. As long as you approve me, I will not be from the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, and you will not have to bear any bad reputation. Who made all this come to my own question?"

As Liu Jinzhang said that, he took out a piece of paper from behind, put it on the desk with respect with both hands, then took two steps back, with a calm expression.

"What does it mean?" Su Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Director Su, don't get me wrong. I don't have any meaning. You don't have to think too much. I think I'm playing a trick of retreating to advance. I'm not that bored yet. I do this just to give me a chance, a chance to leave the Provincial Development and Reform Commission quickly." Liu Jinzhang said in a deep voice.

The interesting Liu Jinzhang.

Su Mu picked up the resignation report and tore it to pieces without even looking at it. Then in Liu Jinzhang's astonished eyes, he said calmly: "Do you know? I once asked Qi Jia and the others, who would you recommend if you choose one of the existing deputy directors of the office? Do you know what they said? In terms of ability, you, Liu Jinzhang, are the well-deserved best candidates, and even Jiang Heping is far from you. So, I don't care about what you thought of before. From now on, you must understand your identity, correct your attitude, and do a good job in the office."

Liu Jinzhang was stunned. (To be continued)
