Chapter 3 Lose? Win? (Part 2)
Chen Ping, I heard from Han Jianfeng that you are a cadre who was personally consulted and approved by the Wuxi Municipal Party Committee to the Jiangyin Shanghai Office. Can you tell me the story?
Listening to Zhou Baochang's words, Chen Ping knew that his first step had been successful, because anyone who had been in the officialdom was very careful and would not ask about things randomly. After all, if you ask and don't help others solve it, it would attract people to hate for no reason. Chen Ping didn't know if Zhou Baochang had been in the officialdom and what he had, but at least from the other party's series of performances after entering the door, he still understood the rules of the officialdom. It is precisely because of this that he kept talking to Chen Ping about other irrelevant things, and the most important question of why Chen Ping came to Shanghai was to avoid it.
No need to think, this must be Han Jianfeng who greeted Zhou Baochang in advance. Zhou Baochang was very self-esteem and was not interested in engaging with Chen Ping, so he just wanted to leave perfunctorily. Therefore, Zhou Baochang never took the initiative to talk about anything, and was just polite to Chen Ping. He answered whatever Chen Ping asked, without saying much, and said a lot.
But now, Zhou Baochang took the initiative to ask about Chen Ping, which is a breakthrough.
However, Chen Ping knew very well that although he had used the means of other future officials and passed the first level of Zhou Baochang without any danger, it was just the beginning. After all, the other party is just a little curious about himself because of the Go game, but he is just curious. If he uses his connections to help Chen Ping, it would be a fantasy.
So, Chen Ping was so energetic that he told Zhou Baochang carefully about the story of becoming the mayor of Huashi Town after he arrived in Jiangyin, expanding Huaxi Village, and then being exiled to Shanghai because of Liu Jianghai.
When Chen Ping talked about these things, he used a narrative tone completely, but restored these things. At most, he added some of his thoughts at the time, without adding any fuss or deleting any clips. Because Chen Ping knew very well that the old professor who was nearly seventy in front of him must have crossed more bridges than he had walked. He showed off any prudentness in front of him, and in the end he could only humiliate himself.
So Chen Ping might as well put away all his scruples and report to the other party in a solid manner.
However, even so, after Chen Ping finished talking about all the situation, Zhou Baochang still had no expression, and just asked lightly: "In other words, you have been transferred to the Jiangyin Shanghai Office to be a full-level inspector, right?"
Faced with Zhou Baochang's incomprehensible tone, Chen Ping nodded, then glanced at the wall clock at home. Chen Ping could only ask understandably, "Teacher Zhou has something to do?"
Zhou Baochang sighed and said, "There is no way. He is old and has no energy. The doctor told me to eat on time and to rest more."
"I have been bothering Teacher Zhou for so long and playing chess with Teacher Zhou. It's wrong for me. Then I won't disturb Teacher Zhou's rest, so I will say goodbye first."
Chen Ping said this, and then withdrew from Zhou Baochang's room. After Chen Ping completely left, Zhou Baochang's eyes that had been dull suddenly burst out with strange colors. He waved his fists fiercely and said to himself: "He killed so many leaders alone, which is simply incredible!"
Zhou Baochang said so, then immediately took out his phone number and called Han Jianfeng who was still in Jiangyin. He opened his mouth and said with emotion: "Xiao Han, you have recommended an amazing person to me this time!"
Han Jianfeng didn't understand what Zhou Baochang said at all. His first reaction was that Chen Ping had caused some trouble here, which made his teacher unhappy. He hurriedly explained: "Teacher Zhou, don't be angry. Chen Ping is still young and has only been in the agency for three years. There must be many places that have not done enough, so Teacher Zhou..."
Before Han Jianfeng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Baochang here and said, "I'm angry, where am I angry? I'm not too happy to this little guy Chen Ping, so why are you still angry?"
Han Jianfeng completely couldn't understand this time: "Teacher Zhou, I'm sorry, I don't understand very well. Can you please tell me more specifically?"
If it was normal, Zhou Baochang would definitely start scolding, but today Zhou Baochang just smiled, and then asked and answered Han Jianfeng: "Do you know what this kid did when he came to me today? He actually walked around me when he entered the door, and finally pulled me to play Go."
"This kid is so chaotic!" Han Jianfeng said indignantly.
"It's a nonsense, but it's just right," Zhou Baochang said happily. "This kid deliberately messed up the situation at the beginning, and then wanted to beat me in the chaos, but I saw it through."
Han Jianfeng knew that his teacher had the potential of an old naughty boy at some point, so he did not interrupt him at this time, but just continued to listen quietly on the other side of the phone.
Zhou Baochang continued, "But although I won the chess, I lost the momentum. Later, he chatted with me and talked about some of his experiences in Huashi Town. Although it was bizarre, I could see that this kid was a smart man and knew when to say what to say. But among the things he did, there were at least ninety-nine and a half of them, and even the last half was just a lingering family's shadow and would not be beaten to death by a stick. But he could actually pass so many obstacles in the front, and in the end he was just sent to Shanghai. This was amazing."
Zhou Baochang's words made Han Jianfeng suddenly jealous of Chen Ping, and he didn't understand. How could Chen Ping be so smart? How could he accurately find every point that could break through the chaos? Is he really a prophet in the officialdom?
Under this idea, Han Jianfeng explained to Chen Ping: "Actually, it is not as exaggerated as Teacher Zhou said. In my opinion, he was just forced into a corner by someone and had to do this."
Zhou Baochang disagrees with Han Jianfeng's statement: "I don't think so. You have been in the officialdom for so many years. Don't you know how the officialdom is a place to eat people? Even if other people encounter such a situation, I'm afraid that most of them will choose to endure and give in. Almost no one dares to resist. I have taught in the Party School for fifteen years, so I don't see too many such people."
After saying that, Zhou Baochang thought about it, and then continued, "And I think the most important thing about this kid is not to dare to resist, but to take advantage of the situation. After all, he dares to say no to the leader. Many people with the courage of ordinary people can do it, but after offending the leader, he can still find his own way out in the chaotic situation. This is not simple. Even some of the department-level cadres I have seen may not be able to do it."
"From this point of view, this kid's style in the officialdom is exactly the same as his style of chess!"
Zhou Baochang said: "This kid used his Tianyuan to cause a melee when playing chess, and the same is true in the officialdom. If he hadn't been impulsive when dealing with some less critical chess, I would have really doubted his age."
"It is precisely because this kid is impulsive when dealing with some less critical chess pieces that I can take advantage of. However, this is playing chess, but if it is placed in the officialdom, the situation will be completely different. Since all the cadres are not easy to get, they all take the prerequisite for maintaining stability, and the higher the level, the more they are. Even if some flaws are revealed, they dare not let the horse come over. Then, the situation is completely reversed from the chessboard. With that kid's ability to take advantage of the situation, he can naturally turn the situation over again. As for being exiled to Shanghai this time, there is no way. After all, offending the entire Wuxi officialdom, it is a victory if he is not defeated." Zhou Baochang analyzed, "This determination and political sensitivity, Xiao Han, you have found a good seedling for me!"
If Chen Ping heard Zhou Baochang's praise here, he would definitely blush. After all, these skills of taking advantage of the chaos are nothing more than the means of plagiarizing others' success after he perceived the future. I guess if Chen Ping did not use external forces to face it, he would definitely be like the ninety-nine and a half lying down like Zhou Baochang said.
Han Jianfeng said: "I just remember the teacher's teachings. This kid has helped me so much. I also want to give back to him before recommending him to your teacher."
"Yeah, I understand," said Zhou Baochang, "But Xiao Han, let's not talk about that kid's problem anymore. What kind of shit book did you choose? You have the nerve to send it to me?"
Han Jianfeng laughed and said, "Teacher, you can't blame me. Who made you read widely? Where can I find a better book at this time? I had to use a less-than-size-fits-all-all-all-all-odd-all-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-odd-all-od
"Okay, okay, Chen Ping let him be in Shanghai. I can't see anything wrong. I'm still looking forward to his future growth!" Zhou Baochang said.
"Then I will replace the rude boy, thank you teacher, teacher." Han Jianfeng said.
