He was going to give a lecture to the Provincial Committee.
He was also going to make it into a slogan and incorporate it into the Party School curriculum.
Sha Rui Jin's series of 'excessive' praise made Xu Zhao suspicious.
Was the other party trying to cultivate him, or was he trying to kill him with kindness?
Who was qualified to lecture to the Provincial Committee?
It was Chen Yan Shi, the one just now.
An old revolutionary who risked his life, he remained incorruptible after becoming an official.
Moreover, he was already retired.
Then look at Xu Zhao.
It wasn't that Xu Zhao was belittling himself, but his level was just too much lower.
When everyone else thought that Xu Zhao might be promoted, he was getting anxious.
Because he had read the original work and knew that Sha Rui Jin was not that simple.
“The higher you are lifted, the harder you fall.”
These eight words echoed in his mind.
Xu Zhao didn't listen to the content of the meeting afterwards, nor was it related to him.
He just mechanically clapped and nodded.
After the meeting.
Sha Rui Jin specifically beckoned Xu Zhao to come over, and said as they walked: "Secretary Xu, write a report about your legal ethics and send it to me later, I want to make it into a slogan and a textbook."
After thinking it over, Xu Zhao had calmed down at this point, and nodded: "No problem."
Before Sha Rui Jin could speak, he said: "You can just call me Xiao Xu, you are older than me, how about I call you Old Sha."
As soon as he said this, the faces of the people nearby showed strange expressions.
Gao Yu Liang frowned, thinking: This kid probably forgot himself after being praised and his tail is going to the sky.
He dared to talk to Sha Rui Jin like this.
While speaking, Xu Zhao kept looking into Sha Rui Jin's eyes.
He did this not out of a whim.
But after careful consideration, he wanted to test the other party.
If Sha Rui Jin really appreciated him and wanted to cultivate him, how could he mind a mere address?
If Sha Rui Jin wanted to kill him with kindness, then Xu Zhao didn't need to care about his feelings.
Unfortunately, Sha Rui Jin, this old fox, didn't fall for it.
Faced with Xu Zhao's sudden attack, Sha Rui Jin took less than half a second to react, and smiled slightly: "Of course, but you can only call me that in private, you still have to address me as Secretary Sha at work."
Xu Zhao didn't see any unusual emotions in his eyes, so he smiled and said: "It shouldn't be work time now, Old Sha."
Sha Rui Jin chuckled and said: "It doesn't count now, if you guys like, you can all call me Old Sha."
The others all smiled along, not daring to call him that.
Xu Zhao, however, got excited, and said in a friendly tone: "Old Sha, when will you come to Jing Hai City for an inspection, I'll take you to see the scenic spots of Jing Hai City then."
Sha Rui Jin said: "I will definitely go there when I have time."
Xu Zhao said: "Then I'll be waiting for your grand arrival."
Sha Rui Jin smiled and said: "Okay, I will definitely notify you before I go."
Xu Zhao still didn't see any unusual emotions in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel disappointed.
He couldn't keep pestering him, so he could only secretly leave a mosquito camera behind.
Then he took his leave and left.
Gao Yu Liang called out to Xu Zhao and walked with him.
After they walked away, Gao Yu Liang said with disappointment: "Xu Zhao, your behavior just now was too dangerous, are you forgetting your duty just because Secretary Sha praised you?"
Xu Zhao smiled faintly: "Secretary Yu Liang, this is Secretary Sha's first Standing Committee since coming to Han Dong Province."
Gao Yu Liang said: "Yes."
Xu Zhao said: "He praised me so highly in the first Provincial Standing Committee, do you really think he was praising me?"
Hearing him say this, Gao Yu Liang suddenly understood.
Gao Yu Liang was a smart person, but he had been hit by Sha Rui Jin's dimensionality reduction strike.
Realizing this now, he immediately guessed that Sha Rui Jin was probably trying to kill Xu Zhao with kindness.
At the same time, he was secretly alarmed.
It's said that people who are involved are blind while bystanders see it clearly.
Xu Zhao, as the one involved, didn't fall for it, but this old man was deceived.
Gao Yu Liang glanced at Xu Zhao's side profile, and couldn't help but feel ashamed: "Have I been too comfortable for too long, have I lost my vigilance."
Then he said: "Then what did you mean by calling him Old Sha just now."
Xu Zhao said: "It doesn't mean anything, I was just too stifled, looking for some fun."
Gao Yu Liang's lips twitched, and he said: "You're really quite bold."
Xu Zhao chuckled and said: "Whether I call him Secretary Sha or Old Sha, what's the difference?"
Gao Yu Liang thought about it, and it was true.
If Sha Rui Jin wanted to deal with Xu Zhao, it wouldn't matter even if he knelt down.
On the other side.
After getting into the car, Sha Rui Jin said: "Xu Zhao called me Old Sha just now, do you think he was trying to be close to me, or was he just playing around?"
Secretary Bai was surprised and said: "Playing around, he wouldn't be that bold, would he."
Sha Rui Jin smiled faintly: "I think he not only has the guts, but he has a lot of guts."
Secretary Bai said: "He's just a small municipal party secretary, not a member of the Provincial Standing Committee, he should be flattering you, not the other way around."
Sha Rui Jin said: "He called me Old Sha three times in a row, and each time he stared straight into my eyes. I'm familiar with that kind of gaze, he wants to see something in my eyes."
He had been in the officialdom for decades, and countless people had tried to probe him.
Sha Rui Jin was almost immune to such probing.
"You mean, he was probing you just now."
Secretary Bai was surprised.
"Yes, I guess he's figured something out."
Sha Rui Jin said.
Secretary Bai thought: I didn't see anything, how could Xu Zhao see anything.
But he didn't ask any further.
What they didn't know was that Xu Zhao saw their conversation through the mosquito camera.
Sha Rui Jin was very deep, even when chatting with Secretary Bai, he didn't reveal his true goal.
Therefore, Xu Zhao didn't get much useful information.
In fact, Sha Rui Jin himself was not sure how to deal with Xu Zhao.
Because Xu Zhao's performance at the Da Feng factory was truly unexpected.
But Xu Zhao's past was also a thorn in his eyes.
So Sha Rui Jin praised him and elevated him, which was also a kind of probing.
A destructive kind of probing.
He wanted to see how Xu Zhao would perform after this.
If Xu Zhao could remain steady in the face of this kind of test, it meant that he was truly capable.
