Chapter 5 What to do
After work in the evening, the Environmental Protection Bureau Director Chen Ping led the other eight deputy director-level cadres, each with one car, and drove towards the hotel he had prepared.
Of course, according to the rules on the surface, only at the level of the deputy department or above can they have the power to be equipped with a special car and a driver and a secretary. Looking at the entire Luzhuang Environmental Protection Bureau, Chen Ping is actually the only one who is qualified. However, which leader in the agency does not want to give him some privileges or something? So let alone the deputy director, even the deputy director-level deputy director-level has basically achieved a complete set of driver and secretary. However, on the surface, the special cars of these leaders are all affiliated with the Environmental Protection Bureau department, and the driver and secretary are also affiliated with the logistics and office respectively. As for Chen Ping, since the secretary and the driver have not yet been selected, the office came forward and selected the oldest driver from the logistics department to drive Chen Ping. [.]
In this regard, Chen Ping understood that this was also the norm within the system, and it was not something that any cadre could change by saying that it would change. Therefore, although Chen Ping, who was a civilian, hated this bureaucratic style, he could only turn a blind eye.
When he arrived at the hotel, Chen Ping took a cadre into the private room, and the driver responsible for picking up and dropping off the leader into the private room next door. It is also a hidden rule within the system that the driver cannot be at the same table as the leader. Of course, this is not a discrimination against the driver, but the leader does not drink alcohol when eating, but the driver who drives the driver must not drink alcohol for the sake of the leader's safety, so the driver usually takes a different meal and is on standby at any time.
As for the secretary, since Secretary Chen Ping, as the director, has not yet been selected, no other deputy directors dare to bring any secretary out, so this dinner is just a dinner for Chen Ping and a group of deputy director-level cadres.
As the first leader present, Chen Ping naturally had to sit down first, and then be the other deputy directors.
After everyone was seated, Chen Ping glanced around and sighed at China's strict official culture. Chen Ping didn't have to think about the division of labor between these deputy directors. He just needed to look at the position they were sitting, and he could completely judge their status in the Environmental Protection Bureau.
Then after the waiter of the box put all the wine and food together, Chen Ping took the lead and picked up the wine glass and said, "Today, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government appointed me as the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau. I think this is a profound test for me by the organization. So here, I hope that all colleagues can unite and do the best work of the Environmental Protection Bureau, and give the organization a satisfactory answer. Do you think it's okay?"
All the deputy directors shouted in unison, and at the same time, Chen Ping leaned his glass forward. Everyone was old bureaucrats in the ups and downs of the officialdom, so they would take the initiative to clink with Chen Ping.
Finally, everyone followed Chen Ping to drink. Of course, they didn't dare to kill it in one sip, but stared at Chen Ping's wine glass. After all, if Chen Ping only drank half of it and they were stuffy in one sip, wouldn't it be a shame for the leader? Therefore, everyone drank slowly until they saw Chen Ping finish the glass of wine, and they dared to drink it all with confidence, and they had to keep praising Chen Ping's massive amounts after drinking it.
Chen Ping looked at his deputies who were on his own, and couldn't help but sigh: No wonder everyone wants to be a leader. This feeling of controlling the life and death of others is really great.
After drinking the first glass of wine, Chen Ping and his deputy sat back in their seats. Chen Ping said: "It's right to keep it rigorous at work, but now we have already gotten off work, so don't bring your work relationship in, you can play openly."
After Chen Ping said that, everyone nodded and praised Chen Ping. At this time, Yang Shijun, the first deputy director sitting on Chen Ping's left, said to Chen Ping: "Director Chen, on behalf of all our colleagues in the Environmental Protection Bureau, I apologize to you. Originally, Director Chen, you should have taken office, so we should have invited you to dinner, but now we have asked you to treat us to dinner in turn. This makes our subordinates too ashamed and too irresistible."
With Yang Shijun taking the lead, other deputy directors also echoed: "Yes, yes! It's all because we didn't think carefully and prepared a welcome banquet for our leaders. We are really ignorant..."
These deputy directors blamed themselves with regret and pain on their faces. At first glance, they really looked like they were about to change their past. However, Chen Ping knew that the reason why these people did not set up a welcome banquet for themselves as usual was that they were instructed by Mayor Zhou Qian, who deliberately wanted to save their face.
Of course, Chen Ping did not care about his face, nor did he make the meal. If the entire Environmental Protection Bureau followed Zhou Qian's troops, it would be extremely unfavorable to what he had to do next.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Ping had to come up with this bad plan and take the initiative to invite these people out to dinner, just to win back the championship from Zhou Qian through this dinner.
Under such thoughts, Chen Ping stretched out his hands and made a quiet gesture, and the scene immediately became quiet. Then Chen Ping slowly said: "Actually, I know that I am so young, and I am parachuted to the director of our Environmental Protection Bureau. There will definitely be someone among you who are not convinced."
Chen Ping's voice was very light, but it shocked everyone. After all, the situation was indeed like this, but it was not something that could be said on the table.
Therefore, these deputy directors of the Environmental Protection Bureau immediately began to show their loyalty to Chen Ping with a kind look, saying that they would definitely obey Chen Ping's orders, obey all Chen Ping's orders, etc.
Chen Ping smiled, then made gestures to calm everyone, and then said, "I know that I will surprise you when I say this to you on this occasion. You will also think that my leader is very ignorant, and you are even waiting to see my future jokes, but it doesn't matter. I just want to tell you some facts."
"I am brought to Luzhuang by Secretary Xiao, so I am undoubtedly Secretary Xiao's person. Secretary Xiao is the leader who has landed in Luzhuang and is in conflict with Mayor Zhou. Some time ago, Secretary Xiao and Mayor Zhou had a little unhappy relationship because of my appointment. Mayor Zhou is an old cadre in Luzhuang. I know his prestige in the municipal government, and I understand that many of you are the only ones who are on his own. As long as he orders, you will charge for him and make a stumbling block for me. I understand all these, and the reason why I say these words to you solemnly here today is because I want to tell you..."
Chen Ping deliberately paused, then looked around, and then continued: "You must understand, what level are you, what level are Secretary Xiao and Mayor Zhou? Secretary Xiao and Mayor Zhou have conflicts, that is a fight between gods. If you get involved and help Mayor Zhou do things, Secretary Xiao has no choice but to deal with Mayor Zhou. Can't even shoot you to death? Or do you think Mayor Zhou will fight to protect you?"
Chen Ping's words were like a bombshell, exploding in everyone's hearts.
Threat, Chen Ping is simply a threat to expose his breasts! But at the same time, it has to be said that what Chen Ping said is indeed the truth, and it is precisely because of the fact that these deputy directors feel even more frightened. Especially when he helped Zhou Qian pass the news and wanted to be the director, Deputy Director Yang Shijun, Chen Ping's words were simply a wake-up call for him.
He is currently only a deputy director at the section level. No matter who is placed in front of Secretary Xiao or Mayor Zhou, he is just a small role insignificant role, but Chen Ping is the confidant brought by Secretary Xiao from outside. If he really helps Mayor Zhou stumbling on Chen Ping, if Secretary Xiao gets angry, it will be a matter of just one sentence to take him off with her identity as the secretary of the municipal party committee. As for Mayor Zhou, his goal is to abandon his son in the future. Unless his brain is burned, he will fight with the secretary of the municipal party committee because of an insignificant deputy director. Then, if he can't even keep his position as deputy director, how can he talk about the director?
At this time, Yang Shijun suddenly remembered that Chen Ping deliberately looked at him a few times while talking. Did he know that what he said tonight was warning himself? Or was he expecting him to turn against him?
Just as Yang Shijun and other deputy directors were all thinking about it, Chen Ping continued: "Of course, I said this today, not to ask you to turn the gun head and help me and Secretary Xiao immediately. I just want to tell you that since you are cadres of the Environmental Protection Bureau, you should do whatever you should do and do your own thing well. If you are too enthusiastic about getting involved, it is not a good thing for you. Do you understand?"
Chen Ping's words scared everyone to tremble, and then nodded desperately like a primary school student who was taught a lesson by the teacher.
