The next morning, Qiao Liang went to Sanjiang County and called Liu Yiping.

"At home?" Qiao Liang said.

"Yes." Liu Yiping said.

“I’m in the county.”

"oh……"

"Is there any time to go out and sit down?" Qiao Liang tentatively said.

Liu Yiping did not think: "Yes."

"I'm waiting for you in the teahouse on Central Street."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Qiao Liang hung up the phone, went directly to the teahouse on the Central Street, found a single room, and ordered a pot of tea. After a while, Liu Yiping came.

At this time, Liu Yiping's eyes were dull and her expression was depressed, and she had no longer the radiant spirit of the past.

Qiao Liang knew why she was like this. People who were in the system valued the most is their career. If their career is not going well, how can they talk about their style?

Qiao Liang asked Liu Yiping to sit down, poured her a cup of tea, and then said, "Thank you for going to my house to see my parents yesterday."

Liu Yiping picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then put it down, looked up at Qiao Liang: "Do you think I did this to show you, and I was cursing you?"

Qiao Liang waved his hand quickly and said sincerely: "I definitely don't think so. For so many years, you have been insisting on seeing my parents on the Mid-Autumn Festival. To be honest, I feel moved and grateful."

"It seems that you are still a little conscientious." Liu Yiping's words were a bit resentful.

Qiao Liang didn't know what to say for a moment, so he took out a cigarette and lit it, and took a few sips silently.

Then Liu Yiping said: "Congratulations on your success, and congratulations on your efforts finally being rewarded."

"Thank you." Qiao Liang said dryly.

"You are now proud of the spring breeze, and I am stagnant and even going downhill..." Liu Yiping laughed at herself, "You asked me out today, except for thanking me, I am here to come and laugh at me, right?"

Qiao Liang said seriously: "If I want to see you joke, do you need to be here now? Is it necessary to ask you out alone? Do you think I really want to see you joke? Do you think I really want to see you so confused and in a slump?"

Liu Yiping remained silent.

Qiao Liang took a sip of cigarette and continued, "I asked you out today to have a good talk with you. I think it may be time for us to have a good talk."

Liu Yiping looked at Qiao Liang: "What do you want to talk to me?"

"Talk about you, talk about your past, present and future." Qiao Liang said.

Liu Yiping smiled sadly: "My past has become history, my present is a mess. As for my future, I can't see a glimmer of hope. What's there to talk about?"

"Yes, of course, there are." Qiao Liang nodded affirmatively. "Yiping, I ask you, have you ever seriously reflected on yourself?"

"What do you think about?" Liu Yiping looked a little confused.

"Reflect on the past and reflect on the present." Qiao Liang said.

"Past...now..." Liu Yiping murmured, "What are the past and present, what are you going to reflect on?"

"Give me your hand." Qiao Liang said.

Liu Yiping stretched out her right hand and Qiao Liang gently held it.

The moment Qiao Liang held Liu Yiping's hand, Liu Yiping's body couldn't help but tremble slightly and stared at Qiao Liang.

Qiao Liang looked at Liu Yiping: "Yiping, I am now holding your hand and talking to you. You must believe that every word I say is sincere."

Liu Yiping nodded gently: "You said, I will listen carefully."

Qiao Liang exhaled: "Yiping, from your work in Mazhuang Town to your tenure as the Minister of Propaganda in Sanjiang, you have always been full of enthusiasm and positiveness at that time. Your work has been fully recognized by the top and everyone. Your future is bright. As a young deputy virgin cadre, no one doubts that you will stop moving forward, including me..."

Liu Yiping looked at Qiao Liang intently.

Qiao Liang continued: "However, when everyone is optimistic about you and you think you can reach a new level in the personnel adjustment in the Jinghaoran era, there is a turning point. You failed to be the top leader of the newspaper, nor can you hold a more important position in the county. You were just transferred to the city. The Propaganda Department of the Party Committee, I know this is a big blow to you..."

Liu Yiping pursed her lips.

Qiao Liang continued: "So, have you ever wondered why this turning point occurred?"

Liu Yiping lowered her eyelids and said nothing.

Qiao Liang said: "Actually, if you don't say it, you understand it in your heart, and I know it too."

"What do you know?" Liu Yiping looked up at Qiao Liang.

Qiao Liangli Suo said: "I know Shu Xu. I valued you very much at that time and wanted to support you as the top leader of the newspaper. I know that after you left the Propaganda Department, your mind changed and turned to Fengda Nian. I wanted to find a more important position in Sanjiang, because this more important position seems to have greater room for your future development.

But have you ever thought, what would Xu Shuji think of you? Will he think you are ungrateful? As a leader, this is the most taboo thing for subordinates, and you did it. In this way, after the incident in Fengdan Nian, during that personnel adjustment, Xu Shuji did not help you. Actually, I think now that it would be good that Xu Shuji would not take any action at that time..."

Liu Yiping blushed and lowered her head and said nothing.

Qiao Liang continued: "After you were transferred to the Municipal Propaganda Department as the deputy minister, if you can do things step by step, you may have a chance to make progress. However, you followed Minister Chu's pace, but you cooperated with Minister Chu closely, first suppressing and excluding Ye Xinyi, and then Shao Bingyu.

You made a fatal mistake because the relationship between Shuji and Minister Chu has always been dissatisfied, because Shuji has always appreciated Ye Xinyi. At the same time, Shuji also appreciated Ye Xinyi and Shao Bingyu. In this way, in a sense, you have provoked two big bosses at once, and both of them are of high status and power, and both are awesome than Minister Chu. In this case, do you think you can still have a smooth career in your career?"

Liu Yiping sighed deeply: "I'm unlucky."

Qiao Liang shook his head: "This is not a simple but unlucky question, but you have to reflect on yourself from the bottom of your heart."

"What am I reflecting on?" Liu Yiping looked at Qiao Liang.

Qiao Liang simply said: "Reflect on your own doing things."

Liu Yiping looked a little embarrassed.

Qiao Liang continued: "The most important thing for being a subordinate is to be loyal to your superiors. Xu Shu. I remember that he valued you so much and had such great expectations. Should you change your course? Just because Xu Shu. I remember that he was useless to you, you thought that he was useless to you. This is really short-sighted. To be honest, you are short-sighted."

Liu Yiping looked even more embarrassed, Qiao Liang said something heavy.

Qiao Liang continued: "Also, think about it yourself, what did Ye Xinyi feel sorry for you when she worked with you? What did she do that harm your interests? Why did you have to be in trouble with her? Why did you have to follow Minister Chu to suppress and exclude her? Do you have to step on others in your promotion?

Of course, as a subordinate, I do not make any comments on Minister Chu's actions, and I am not qualified to criticize the leader behind my back. Of course, you can think that Ye Xinyi's performance will pose a threat to your future progress, but that is done by humans, and political achievements are achieved by everyone. Why don't you think about working hard and making progress with her?"
