Zhang Mei continued to stare at Qiao Liang blankly.

Qiao Liang continued: "Zhang Mei, today is New Year's Eve, and tomorrow will be the New Year. You have spent many years in this life, but you have to spend this year here. I'll see you and send you New Year's wishes. I don't wish you a happy New Year because you don't know what happiness is now. I just wish you to leave here as soon as possible and return to normal life as soon as possible. I don't know when that day will come, but I hope the sooner the better..."

As he said that, Qiao Liang's voice trembled a little, and he felt sad.

After talking to Zhang Mei for a long time, she couldn't listen or understand something. Qiao Liang stood up, looked at Zhang Mei silently for a long time, sighed deeply, and turned around and left.

That afternoon, Qiao Liang returned to his hometown.

On New Year's Eve, when bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, Qiao Liang stood in the courtyard of the small mountain village, looking up at the deep and lonely starry sky, listening to the dense sound of firecrackers in his ears, thinking about Zhang Mei who is in the mental hospital at this moment, Fang Xiaoya who is on the other side of the ocean, thinking about Zhang Mei's parents who are celebrating the New Year thousands of miles away, thinking about the ups and downs of their past year, I can't help but feel mixed emotions, and I can't help feeling confused and melancholy...

During the Spring Festival holiday, Qiao Liang stayed at home and stayed at home and chatted with his parents for more time than chatting with his parents.

Qiao Liang felt that it was time to summarize his officialdom over the years.

Qiao Liang carefully reviewed his experiences since he started working, summarized his gains and losses over the years, and pondered his future goals and directions.

After several days of review, summary and thinking, Qiao Liang gradually realized that it is not easy to meet noble people in his official life, and it is even more difficult to understand the principles of dealing with people.

Qiao Liang remembered a sentence that Li Youwei once said: In the officialdom, don’t think too much about being a person and doing things. Just work harder. Sometimes, when you think too much, the more anxious you are, the less reward you will get. When you don’t think about it, it may unexpectedly belong to you. Some unspoken rules and things that cannot be grasped should be natural. Human progress and development are relative, and it should be yours and you will be yours after all, and there is no need to force it."

Qiao Liang's extended understanding of Li Youwei's words is: there is no need to suppress himself, and there is no need to flatter him.

Think about it, it should be like this. The countryside and the city, subordinates and leaders, the poor and the rich cannot be equal. Compared with a arrogant person, no matter how much you respect him, he will not treat you equally. Therefore, don’t suppress yourself, don’t flatter or flatter, and others will never give you charity because of sympathy.

No matter how humble your background or how difficult your situation is, don’t rely on the courtesy of others. Only by maintaining the right personality and facing life directly, say when you say it, do when you do it, and don’t be guilty or timid. In this way, you won’t be looked down upon easily and will win more equal opportunities and respect from others.

Qiao Liang also remembered the people in the officialdom around him. They either tried their best to cling to the enemy, or followed the trend of the mean, or were calm and calm and looked down on gains and losses. Some of these people rose to prominence in spring, some were addicted to fame and fortune, and some even fell into prison by corruption and abuse of power.

Qiao Liang couldn't help but realize that in his official life, perhaps the most important thing to do is to look far, be broad and be indifferent.

The so-called looking far should be to find a goal, longing to fly, thinking about the realm, and obtaining reasons to believe in it.

The distance is shining in the field of vision, the goal grows in the traction, flying fills life, and realm enhances the image of a person.

To give your thinking the wings of association, you must open the doors and windows of your heart, walk up the hills, stand high and look far, be calm and calm, only then can you experience the small mountains, and explore amazing discoveries from near to far, from one to the other, from the outside to the inside.

The so-called broad-mindedness should be a broad mind, a broad mind should be a kind of perspective.

Looking at people in a straight line is a kind of character for the noble and a kind of backbone for the humble.

Looking at people and doing things at the same time is to get to reality, to be side by side with the times, and to listen to the years. You need to be more open-minded, have a larger thinking space, have a broader mind, and be more tolerant in dealing with things, and your eyes will be brighter.

The so-called indifferent view, Qiao Liang’s understanding is: indifference is not lacking in desire, it is my responsibility, and my daughter who does not belong to me cannot touch my heart.

Therefore, taking it lightly should be a kind of mood in life, an attitude of sticking to the duty of life, and a true meaning of being easy and persistent in life without being obsessed with life, and passion without being extravagant.

At the same time, combined with his ups and downs in the officialdom, Qiao Liang thought that it is more important to believe in himself than to rely on others when doing things in the officialdom.

You must have a thoughtful and responsible person. Different people must do different things, and leaders will generally see them.

As long as you do your best, you will not be buried unless you have doubts about your abilities. The key is to correct your mindset, do more if you have the opportunity, work for yourself when you don’t have the opportunity, and accumulate more tangible and intangible capital.

No matter how many things you do for yourself, it is not an exaggeration. No matter what your life experience is, you will never be wrong to work hard in time.

No matter how hard you try, it is better to do things calmly, especially to do more things that reflect your own value, which will benefit you throughout your life.

Qiao Liang gradually analyzed and sorted out his own ideas, combined with his own reality, and felt that the most important thing in the future was to do three things: be calm, bend down, and raise his head.

In the official circle full of temptations and traps, it is not easy to be calm. But if you can't calm down, you may lose your mind, or even make a big fight with hysteria, or you may give up on yourself and be cynical.

Therefore, being calm is the manifestation of wisdom, the accumulation of reason, and the sign of maturity. In the career of a person, he is like a small boat in the sea. Only by calmly controlling it, facing the stormy waves ahead, and not being surprised by changes, can he ride the wind and waves and waves invincible.

If you bend down, you must be low-key and humble in your life, be able to bend and stretch.

Han Xin bent down under his crotch, achieving the foundation of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years; Sima Qian chose to bend down and wrote a masterpiece that was passed down from history.

In this way, bent down is a posture and a kind of inner confidence. The green bamboo is tenacious because it bent down, and the rice ears are rich and thick because it bent down.

As for being able to raise your head, Qiao Liang's understanding is that no matter whether you are in adversity or good times, you must maintain an optimistic and enterprising attitude. It is not to be arrogant and arrogant, but to treat others with humility and equality; it is not to compare others' strengths with others' weaknesses, but to face one's own eyes and learn from others' strengths; it is not to be jealous of others' ability because of one's own clumsiness, but to catch up with others' ability after knowing one's own cleverness.

After this deep thought, Qiao Liang felt that his mind was much organized. Although the things he thought and summarized may not be able to do in future practice, having ideas is better than not. At least this can be used as the direction of his own efforts.

People must have a direction in this life, and so in the officialdom.

At the same time, Qiao Liang felt that he should always have a grateful heart, thank the masters, nobles, relatives, friends, opponents, and even the villain who tortured him.

Thinking of this, Qiao Liang felt that he was becoming mature and tending to be calm.

Of course, it takes a long way to go to achieve true maturity and calmness.

Among them, experience is very important because experience determines experience. Experience creates thoughts and improves depth of thoughts.

Qiao Liang felt that this holiday was very meaningful and gained something from self-reflection and meditation.

The holiday ended soon and Qiao Liang returned to Jiangzhou.
