In the elegant room.

Chen Jianshu, who had just sent Wu Zhengquan away, looked at Su Mu sitting opposite him with a smile, with no sign of decadence or depression.

The road is already done, no matter how much emotion or complaining you say, it will be useless. You can only stand up and face this reality calmly.

Only by learning to face it can people truly grow. Don’t think that being an official can be satisfied by reaching the level of Chen Jianshu. There is no need to grow. It is also needed, and it is urgent than ever before.

Only in this way can we be stronger and go further.

"Do you know? Before I came here, I had a lot of things in my heart to tell you, but now I'm sitting here, I suddenly realized that those words are meaningless."

"No matter how much you say, it's better to drink tea with you. Actually, I think I should drink more happily now." Su Mu stared at Chen Jianshu and suddenly said with a smile.

"You're right!"

Chen Jianshu nodded and said in a deep voice: "I also think we should drink now, but drinking in this teahouse would be a big deal."

"Or else, I know that a private restaurant is good, and the dishes there are very exquisite and delicious. Wherever I go in my spare time, I will try them together to ensure that you are satisfied."

"Is it still open now?" Su Mu nodded and agreed.

"certainly."

Speaking of this, Chen Jianshu became very proud, as if nothing big is more valuable than going to a tavern.

He stood up and walked outside, saying, "Let's go over now, I'll just contact the old ghost."

"OK!"

The private kitchen is not far from the teahouse, and it is within a ten-minute walk.

Not to mention that this place is really not easy to find, it is not because it is remote, but on the contrary, the location is very good. It is in the commercial center area within the Second Ring Road of Youfeng City, which has a bit of a big and faint smell in the city.

The name of the tavern is Kong Yiji, and the chef who is in charge is Lao Gui.

After a brief introduction, Lao Gui, a man with an honest and simple smile, had a rosy eye circle. He looked at Chen Jianshu with some reluctance, and his tone brought a choking smell, "Mayor Chen, are you really leaving this time?"

"Old ghost, you are really. You are so old and still so sentimental. I am not going to fight for foreplay, I just changed my job. Besides, even if I go to fight, it is for revolutionary work and I must obey unconditionally. Besides, I was promoted this time, so I should be happy for me."

"So don't think too much, just keep this Kong Yiji Tavern here honestly. If you have anything to do in the future, you can also call me. Secretary Su, Lao Gui is one of my confidants. Please help take care of him in the future." Chen Jianshu said with a sincere look.

"Well, don't worry." Su Mu nodded slightly.

"Okay, old ghost, hurry up and go and have a few special dishes for us, and then two pots of your own immortal drunkenness." Chen Jianshu waved his hand casually and said in a familiar way.

"Okay, I'm ready now!"

At this time, there were only two guests, Su Mu and Chen Jianshu. After choosing a window seat, Su Mu took out a box of special cigarettes, took out two and handed them over, and asked curiously: "Is there a story about this old ghost?"

"Did you see it?" Chen Jianshu took the cigarette and was about to light it. He was surprised to find that it was a special cigarette, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

However, he didn't ask too much, but was quite surprised. He believed that it was definitely the first time Su Mu came here, so why did he dare to be sure that the old ghost had a story?

The two lit a cigarette and began to talk in a smoky conversation.

"If you have to say something in detail, there are many details that reveal that the old ghost is not simple. For example, the thick calluses on his palms, the standing posture of his walking and talking, but what I really guessed was his temperament."

"Even after these years, he has not lost the smell of gunpowder. If you guess correctly, he has definitely been a soldier before, and he is the kind of soldier who really knows blood, right?" Su Mu said in a nude mouth from the kitchen.

"Yes, you're right. Lao Gui was indeed a scout before and was responsible for drug control work on the southwest border."

"But later, because of something, he came out of the army. But he didn't blame him for that matter because a drug trafficking gang cruelly killed his comrades. After he learned about it, he chose to take revenge alone without any orders from his superiors, and destroyed the gang alone."

"Really speaking, this is actually a military merit, but he was punished for violating discipline. After returning, he became my driver. Over the years, he has gained a foothold in Youfeng City. Now he has married and had children, and lives his own life."

Chen Jianshu said with a smile while smoking, with a look of remembrance on his face, "I remember when I first met Lao Gui, I was just a county-level cadre. In this flash, all these years have passed. He has now left the system, and I have to leave the market from Youfeng City. It's really impermanent!"

"Su Mu, Lao Gui has been studying cooking skills over the years, and his cooking skills are absolutely impeccable. The immortal wine he brewed himself is authentic sorghum wine, which ensures a mellow taste. You should try it well later, which will definitely satisfy you."

"Okay, haha, after hearing what you said, it really made me greedy."

"Come on, have a cup of tea first, the food will be very fast."

"Well, I'm waiting to have a feast."

As this relaxed topic began, Su Mu and Chen Jianshu began to chat.

During this period, the old ghost quickly brought a few dishes and served them. Coupled with the specially brewed god-drunk, the atmosphere quickly became lively and harmonious.

Not to mention, the taste of this brewed immortal drunk is really good. It has a soft mouth and a long aftertaste. It is really unspeakable to match it with the dishes here. It makes Su Mu find some of the feeling of eating in the Royal Kitchen Restaurant, and he is inexplicably nostalgic.

"Actually, I will be transferred this time. It is false to say that there is no resentment in my heart, but what if I have resentment? Can I still vent all of it? It's impossible."

"As a party member and cadre, the organization will go wherever it is arranged. According to the process rules, no one can find fault."

"I just didn't expect that the Qin family would ask Leyou Group to do this and cause such ups and downs. In fact, as long as Qin Zheng told me, I would not risk offending him instead of leaving."

After Chen Jianshu and Su Mu clinked the glass, they drank the wine in the glass with a little bleak expression and a deep helplessness in their words.

"I have worked in Youfeng City for so many years, and have been stepping from the grass and the current position. I have feelings for every tree and grass here, but I have to leave even if I have feelings. But leaving like this is indeed a bit coward for me."

"I also know how people are talking about it now. They say I am taking it upon myself and saying that I deserve it."

"The reason is that this is done by Leyou Group, and I attracted investment from Leyou Group. Isn't this called shooting myself in the foot?"

"Su Mu, I did have some recklessness and impulsiveness when introducing this Leyou Group, but there was no way. Who made me a little anxious at that time?"

"If I could not have such a big company coming to invest, I would probably not be able to stay. At that time, I was too eager for quick success and instant benefits. Compared to holding the position under my butt, I was willing to agree to any conditions and felt that any sacrifice was worth it."

"But now I want to say that you don't have any taboos for this Leyou Group. I, Chen Jianshu, will not leave you a mess like this."

"Since I was able to attract investment from Leyou Group, I now have a way to get them out of Youfeng City."

"If Park Ji-yeon could invest honestly, I wouldn't have attacked her, but she would dare to be so angry. Isn't it just forcing me to turn against me? Su Mu, before leaving Youfeng City, I will give you an explanation on this matter."

Chen Jianshu looked calm at this moment, and it was obvious that he decided to do this after careful consideration.

"Old Chen, you don't have to do this."

Su Mu popped off the ashes, stared at the front, and said slowly: "I understand your thoughts, but you really don't have to do this."

"If you do this, all you can wait for is trouble. Although Qin Zheng said he would transfer you away and upgrade you to another level."

"But this is all based on the premise that you have no extreme behavior. If you say that you have deep grudges, do you think you can have a good life after transferring to a new place? It will definitely be difficult."

"I have decided, it doesn't matter if I ask me to step down from the second line early."

Chen Jianshu raised his hand to interrupt Su Mu's dissuasion, and suddenly burst into laughter for no reason, pointing at Su Mu and saying, "I think no matter how much I have given Qin Zheng, I would never think that we two would talk about this here."

"Su Mu, I understand that you are thinking about me, but a real man does something and does not. This is where I once ruled. I can't say that I just pat my butt and leave, leaving a mess for my colleagues and the people here."

"Besides, Su Mu, don't underestimate me too much. In Feng City, I lost to you, but in the new battlefield, I may not lose all the money."

"If anyone dares to underestimate me, he will pay the price. Don't forget that I was also the secretary of the municipal party committee in the past, and I was at the same level as you."

A strong aura burst out from Chen Jianshu's slightly low tone, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

I'm convinced if I lose to you Su Mu.

But if you think I will lose to everyone, I will not admit defeat.

"It's great that you can think like this." Su Mu said with emotion. When he was about to touch the cigarette again, Chen Jianshu snatched the cigarette box at once.

In Su Mu's shocked eyes, he said with confidence: "What? Do you say you're going to separate? You can't give me some gifts? Besides, smoking is not good for your health, so you'd better smoke less."

Su Mu was speechless. Seeing Chen Jianshu confiscated the entire box of cigarettes naturally, then took out a box of local cigarettes from his pocket and put them on the table. While pushing it to Su Mu, he said casually: "Your cigarette is too strong, so it's better to smoke me, it's more gentle."

OK, you are awesome!

Su Mu shook his head and no longer wanted to continue smoking. Instead, he picked up the wine glass, touched Chen Jianshu and said in a deep voice: "Go to the other side and contact more."

“Contact more.”

"Done!"
