Recalling the changes in the past six months, Mu Yi felt particularly decadent and confused. Deep down in his heart, he seemed to be suffocated by something.

I still remember that during the Spring Festival, on the night of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, my old classmate Jiang Kaijin suddenly came to visit me at home. He had a black plastic bag in his hand. I didn’t know what was inside. It looked like half a cigarette, but it was smaller than

The half stick of cigarettes is much thicker. It feels a bit like a biscuit, but it is heavier than a biscuit. I really can’t guess what is inside.

Jiang Kaijin is no stranger to Mu Yi and Jin Baihe. Jiang Kaijin is an old classmate of Mu Yi’s elementary school and is also the deputy monitor. The monitor is Cai Cai. They are both from Taiyang Township. They borrowed money from each other when they were in fifth grade.

Due to the relationship with Caicai's sister's family, I was transferred to Datang Primary School to study.

Jiang Kaijin and Cai Cai both lived in Cai Cai's brother-in-law's house. After graduating from elementary school, they all went to Datang Middle School together. Cai Cai and Mu Yi were in Class B, and Jiang Kaijin was in Class A. By the time they were in the third grade of junior high school,

It was also the most difficult time for Datang Middle School. The loss of students was particularly serious. The remaining two classes were now less than the original one class. In the end, the principal discussed with everyone and merged the two classes into one.

, everyone became classmates again.

However, there was very little contact after graduation.

When Mu Yi came back from studying abroad, he occasionally played with Cai Cai and the others. But he never saw Jiang Kaijin again. They met again when Mu Yi's family moved from the county town to Longzhong.

It turns out that in the past few years, Jiang Kaijin went to work in the world after graduating from junior high school. He slowly found a health school, studied at his own expense for three years, and obtained a graduation certificate. Then he worked hard in society and accumulated a lot of money.

some money.

After that, he rented a house in Longzhong and opened a private clinic, which also sold some adult health care products. Before Mu Yi came to Longzhong, he bought a house and a store in the new market, which was considered to have taken root in Longzhong.

The two of them greeted each other with greetings when they moved in. However, they usually only met and said hello, and their relationship was not deep.

That night, Jiang Kaijin came to visit. Why? It was really hard for Mu Yi to guess. However, Jiang Kaijin definitely didn't just come and sit here casually. He must have other things or purposes. Because in Mu Yi

In my first impression, classmate Jiang Kaijin is a very purposeful person.

As expected, everyone exchanged pleasantries and chatted for a while. Jiang Kaijin brought the topic to the matter of "change of leadership" and adjustments.

"Old classmate, do you know that there is a 'change'?"

"I don't know."

"It seems you are not very well informed."

Jiang Kaijin gave a general summary of the "news" he had heard.

Mu Yi finally understood. What Jiang Kaijin meant was that after the new year, the county superior would adjust a group of cadres.

What Mu Yi didn't understand was from what channel Jiang Kaijin heard these "news". But he didn't pay much attention to this issue anymore, so he didn't deliberately learn about this news.

While Jiang Kaijin was talking, the leaders of those units were about to arrive, and those leaders were about to move their positions again. They actually spoke in a clear and logical manner. This had to make Mu Yi a little surprised.

He really couldn't see through the old classmate in front of him. What kind of person was Jiang Kaijin? A doctor? Or a boss?

If you are a doctor, you should treat illnesses and save lives, heal the wounded and help the world... But why are you more like a businessman?

If you are a businessman, you should run your own business well. Why are you so enthusiastic about officialdom and personnel issues?

Moreover, Jiang Kaijin is not a staff member of a state agency, so it seems that he has nothing to do with whether there will be a change of office or whether there will be personnel adjustments.

Mu Yi had too many questions in his mind. And Jiang Kaijin seemed reluctant to reveal his purpose directly.

Suddenly, Jiang Kai came in and said, "Oh my, why does your old classmate smoke or drink tea?"

Mu Yi hurriedly explained: "I don't smoke, so I don't have any cigarettes at home. Drinking tea at night will affect my sleep, so I don't drink tea. I really feel sorry for my old classmate. I'm going to boil some water for you.

Tea."

"You're kidding. You're kidding. It's always okay to have two glasses of wine, right? Do you have any objections to me, brother and sister?"

"No objection. Then I'll go and give you some crispy peanuts to drink with."

"Yes, yes. Oh, my brothers and sisters are so virtuous."

Jin Lily put the peanut cakes in front of the two of them, and then took Xiao Lele to rest.

Mu Yi poured wine for Jiang Kaijin and filled up his own. The two raised their glasses and touched them lightly. They each drank from their glasses and filled up their glasses again.

After drinking, I don't know whether it was drunken talk or drunken talk. After talking and talking, Jiang Kaijin finally revealed his purpose.

"Mu Yi, my brother will never be an official in this life. But you can. You are so young and in such a good position. Only if you are willing to lower your head and bend your waist a little. Don't be too conceited.

Come on, go with the flow for a while, I firmly believe that you will be the leader soon."

"Come on, I'm afraid your brother is drunk and talking drunkenly."

"Who said I was drunk? What I told is the truth. The world is as dark as crows, so what about cats that don't eat fish? When people walk in the world, only when they give up can they get something. If you can't give up, you won't get it.

.Do you understand what I mean?"

Mu Yi shook his head.

Jiang Kaijin laughed "hahaha".

"Don't pretend you don't understand. Let me tell you the truth. The county leaders are quite impressed with you. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"Hehehe, people say that this kid is just too arrogant."

After hearing this, Mu Yi silently picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Thinking back to the past, Mu Yi's heart was filled with ups and downs. How could he be so "arrogant"? It was just that he didn't want to bow to certain realities or follow the crowd. This was true.

real.

Jiang Kaijin also took a sip of wine. "Brother, don't be discouraged. I'm optimistic about you. You can use this thing."

Jiang Kaijin said as he pushed the black plastic bag he brought in front of Mu Yi.

"What's this?"

Mu Yi asked with some confusion.

"This is some of my thoughts. Just take it and use it. If it's not enough, tell me. I'll get it for you."

Mu Yi had a vague feeling that this matter was not simple. He looked at Jiang Kaijin hesitantly.

Jiang Kaijin looked at Mu Yi with a smile on his face. "What's wrong, are you afraid of burning your hands?"

Mu Yi probably guessed that there should be some "red tickets" inside.

Jiang Kaijin sighed leisurely. "Don't have any worries. Just treat it as an investment. You don't need to pay it back. I heard that the positions in the Agricultural Bureau and the Water Conservancy Bureau are good. The Transportation Bureau and the Urban Construction Bureau

The positions in the Bureau and the Bureau of Land and Resources are too sophisticated."

"Brother, I'll help you. When you take the position later, you can just give him one or two projects to do. That's all."

After saying that, he picked up the wine in the cup and touched it against the wood, drank it all in one gulp, and stood up to leave.

Mu Yi quickly picked up the black plastic bag on the coffee table and handed it to Jiang Kaijin. Jiang Kaijin refused to accept it.

The two of them pushed it back and forth, tearing the black plastic bag apart. The contents fell onto the floor of the living room.

Good guy! It’s such a big deal. It’s ten stacks in total. To be honest, Mu Yi has never seen so much money.

It was indeed a bit shocking. However, he quickly found a plastic bag to help Jiang Kaijin put the money.

"Come on. I'm sorry, brother, you can't take this money."

"Are you too little?"

"no."

"Then you just can't trust me?"

"No."

"Then you just look down on me, Mr. Jiang."

"Come on, where are you talking about? It's not too little, brother. This amount of money is really shocking to be honest. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I have never seen so much money at once."

"Brother, it's not that I can't trust you, let alone look down on you. Brother, I can't trust myself. If I accept this money from you today, I'm afraid that in the future, brothers will not even recognize themselves.

.So, the one brother can’t trust is myself.”

"Mu Yi, why are you like this? You are a little disrespectful to say something unpleasant."

What Jiang Kaijin said was a bit extreme. It was also a bit harsh. If Mu Yi "succumbed" like this, then he would no longer be "Yi Mu".

He is so different and stands alone. So he is not afraid of offending Jiang Kaijin.

"Come on. You're right, I just don't know how to praise you. Thank you, brother, for looking up to me. But, you are wrong. Brother is really an adou who cannot be helped up. That's it for today. You can

Just pretend that you have never been here, and I will also pretend that you have never been here. Take your things back. We will still be old classmates from now on."

Mu Yi said, forcing the plastic bag into Jiang Kaijin's hand and sending him out the door.

Under the dim street lights, Jiang Kaijin was holding a white plastic bag but hesitated to speak.

Mu Yi quickly urged him to leave: "Do you want me to take you back?"

"Oh. No need."

Jiang Kaijin finally went downstairs carrying the plastic bag. When Jiang Kaijin walked away, Mu Yi also went downstairs to close the corridor door, then returned home and closed the door.

After Mu Yi took a shower, he went to bed. Jin Lily asked in a low voice: "Send away?"

"Um."

"Did you hear what you two were chattering about?"
