Zhu Mian was naturally a little unhappy when his train of thought was interrupted, but when he heard the name of the person coming, he hesitated for a moment and said in deep thought: "Since the prefect is here, I still want to meet him because of my feelings and reasons."
Cao Chuan was a little surprised when he heard this. He escorted Zhu Mian all the way south. Many officials came to see him after receiving the news on the way. Especially after passing Xuzhou and entering Jiangsu, all the prefectures and counties he passed through and the local officials came out to greet him.
, but Zhu Mian saw almost no one. The official reason was not to let everyone work hard. Of course, in fact, Zhu Mian just felt that he was "stepping in two boats" at the moment, and he was in the spotlight, so he had to be cautious and keep a low profile.
Officials are right, but naturally they won't say this reason, let alone tell it to Cao Chuan - Cao Chuan regards Zhu Mian as one of his own, but it doesn't mean that Zhu Mian can regard him as Cao Chuan, let alone the holy family.
, Cao Rui, the minister, is probably not as good as him, Zhu Shilang.
Cao Chuan died unexpectedly, but as someone close to Zhu Mian, just like those "people around leaders" in later generations, he still knew the basics of observing words and emotions, so he quickly ordered to get off the sedan, and then personally opened the curtain for Zhu Mian
In fact, although Cao Chuan was doing the job of guarding the leader, what he actually did was similar to that of the driver of the leader in later generations. Even though the driver is inconspicuous, in fact, the leader driver is usually a popular person in the unit, and some of the leader drivers are even equivalent to the unit.
The "second-in-command" actually holds important powers such as personnel approval of the unit, and is the target of all the staff in the unit. But why is the leader driver so awesome? The key is an unspoken rule in the officialdom: leading those around you is equal to the leader
Why do you say that about the leader’s driver?
First, you can master the secrets of the leader and form an alliance of interests with the leader. Wherever the leader goes, the driver usually follows him. The driver is the person closest to the leader and has many secrets of the leader. This is why most new leaders do not want drivers from the new unit.
With the secrets of an experienced driver
Second, you can use the opportunity of working next to the leader to stir up trouble for the leader. Because the driver and the leader have a community of interests, sometimes the driver is the leader. General staff in the unit must please the driver. To please the driver is to please the leader. If the driver says hello, he is the leader.
Say hello; the driver says you have shortcomings, that is, the leader says you have shortcomings. If you do not please the driver and cause dissatisfaction among the drivers, then no matter how good your performance is, your image in front of the leader will be greatly reduced because the driver can take advantage of the leader's surroundings.
When you have the opportunity to work, you can stir up trouble for your boss, say bad things about you, or say good things about you once or twice. The boss may not believe it, but over time, good things can be turned into bad things, and bad things can be turned into good things.
Third, under the guise of being a leader, you can instruct everyone in the company to please the leader and driver, which invisibly elevates the driver to a "leadership position", and the driver also develops a "power": he walks in a show of force and speaks in a leader's tone, which is inaccessible to ordinary people.
When giving gifts to bosses during festivals and festivals, you should also be respectful to the driver. When you are promoted, you should also observe the driver's color. The driver says that the boss thinks well of you and is a candidate for promotion. You should know its meaning.
, you need to use money to bribe the driver first. Generally, as long as the price offered by the driver is doubled, he can be promoted, because the driver also wants to make a profit for himself.
Go to the department in charge of leadership or subordinate departments to seek personal gain
This rule was originally passed down from generation to generation as a "tradition", so Cao Chuan, who is not a driver now, actually has this style - he was so arrogant to Xu Jin just now because his surname is Cao, and the rest
The seven points are derived from this
However, to be a good driver, to gain the trust of the leader and to have the leader break away from the driver's identity for you is indeed not easy. Everyone knows this truth. As a qualified or even excellent driver, not only must you
To be satisfied with the leader, you need to satisfy the leader's family, and you also need to be recognized by people in the leadership circle. Being recognized by this circle is not easier than being an official or a stable official. Navigating in the complicated interpersonal world is like a lonely road.
The helpless little fish is trying hard to find its own world in the sea. Many people only see the glamorous side of being a leader driver. The actual process is not that easy. Don't talk too much, do more things. The leader's mood
I'm sorry to take it out on you. Not only are you a full-time driver, you also have to be a nanny in the leader's life, and a part-time worker in the leader's family. You have to be on call, and you have to withstand people's sarcastic remarks and mental pressure.
It’s huge. Many things that leading drivers get can often be said to be obtained in exchange for dignity. Therefore, not everyone can do this job, nor can everyone do it well.
However, it is obvious that although Cao Chuan entered the officialdom not long ago and is still immature in many aspects, he still has some talents. For example, he will immediately pay attention to those whom the leader values.
Cao Chuan is not stupid. He is very clear about Zhu Mian's character. If he is not a person of some importance, he would not bother to meet him. Now he only hesitates slightly before agreeing to meet Xu Jin, instead of putting on airs and returning home first and waiting for Xu Jin to pay a special visit.
This shows that Xu Jin has some weight in Zhu Mian's heart. As for whether this weight is because the position of Suzhou prefect is more important or because there is someone behind Xu Jin, this is not something Cao Chuan can figure out at once.
When Zhu Mian got off the sedan, he saw Xu Jin leading a group of people through the crowd of guards. From a distance, he had three smiles on his face. He was still a few feet away from Zhu Mian and kowtowed to him, shouting in unison.
Directly saying: "Xiaoguan xxx has met Mr. Zhu" and then Xu Jin's monologue: "Master Zhu went south this time, and the road was full of dust and wind, and he didn't even take a break. He is so loyal to the court, he is really a role model for our generation. I deeply feel your loyalty to Mr. Zhu."
On the Qingming Festival, I specially led the officials from Suzhou Prefecture to come to greet you. Firstly, I want to feel your lordship's desire to repay the imperial court and His Majesty. Secondly, I also want to cleanse you of your lordship... Your lord now has the great hope of our emperor.
Being stationed in Suzhou for the implementation of the new law is a blessing for Suzhou, a blessing for Jiangsu, and a blessing for the two rivers! And because of this, the lower officials can often have the opportunity to listen to elegant lectures in person.
I hope you will take care of me."
Zhu Mian was happy when he heard this. He thought that the fourth son of the Xu family was really good. Look how well he said it! He was indeed a scholar, and he was very good at flattering him!
At that time, a reserved smile appeared on his face, and he said calmly: "Your Majesty Futai is serious. To do things for the court and the emperor, naturally you have to think about it with 120,000 thoughts, and you can't be sloppy at all... As for listening to instructions,
There is no need to say so in Xufutai if you don't listen to instructions. Everyone is working for the emperor, and their goals and abilities are the same. Not to mention that your father, Mr. Xu, was considered half of my elders back then. Now you and I can be considered as equals.
, Don’t be so polite, but it’s just looking at other people.”
Cao Chuan was shocked next to him. It turned out that Xu Jin’s father used to be Zhu Mian’s boss. This was really a big surprise. If Mr. Zhu was so nostalgic and took special care of Xu, what he did today would seem
It's a little too much. I need to think of a way to remedy it.
Of course Xu Jin knew that his old man had been Zhu Mian's boss for a short time before he retired and returned to his hometown. However, officialdom was a place where individuals could have a good time. Not to mention that the old man didn't give Zhu Mian much help at that time, even if he did.
So what if he helps? What is his status now, how holy is he? Would he care about what an old man who is waiting for death thinks of him? After going around and around, Xu Jin still clearly positioned himself: Zhu Mian still treats him well.
I'm polite, that's because I look at Du Fan and Du Ge's face. In addition, as the prefect of Suzhou, I happen to be where his Liangjiang Shipping Envoy is based. It's more harmonious with me and it's easier to carry out work. That's all.
Zhu Mian told him not to be so polite, but Xu Jin did not dare to be rude. Not only was he polite, but he was twice as polite. He quickly flattered him and then said that a banquet had been prepared in the eunuch alley of Guanqian Street and was just waiting for Zhu Mian to arrive.
**Here comes the driver
Zhu Mian pondered for a moment and then agreed. After all, since he chose to give others face, he had to do enough to make others look good. As a Shangguan, he must be indispensable for both face and face.
Xu Jin was overjoyed and quickly said that he would lead the way. Zhu Mian smiled and did not refuse. Just as he was about to leave, several people suddenly ran out from beside him. Although the servants were dressed up, the fabric was very extraordinary. It was authentic Su embroidery. Zhu Mian was originally genuine.
When I was about to turn around, I suddenly paused and felt that these people looked familiar.
Sure enough, as soon as these servants saw this team, they ran over without saying anything. They seemed to be very anxious. Zhu Mian squinted his eyes and then remembered that these boys seemed to have been following his son Zhu Xian.
Those who were there couldn't help but be a little confused. There was something going on in the family, or did their son have something important to report?
Immediately, he stood still, intending to listen to what they were here for first. If there was nothing important, he would send them back and tell Xian'er that he would go and answer the question himself.
Unexpectedly, the servants started shouting from afar: "Master, it's not okay, master, the young master was beaten and injured... he's bleeding!"
Zhu Mian and everyone around him were shocked. Zhu Mian's heart skipped a beat. Zhu Xian was his only son. If something happened to him, his father would probably have no meaning in his life. Although he was
He is only about forty years old, so he may not have another male in the family in the future, but after all, he has spent a lot of time on Zhu Xian over the years.
"What's going on? Don't cry and yell. Explain it clearly!" Zhu Mian is a person who has seen the world after all. He immediately calmed down and scolded.
A servant came out and exaggerated the "atrocities" committed by Yunzheng and others, complaining: "...that's it, that man originally tried to take possession of that good girl, but the young master came out to reprimand him. He couldn't save his face, so he took action.
! Kicked the young master to the ground with one kick... Master, the young master is a scholar, how can he withstand the beatings of those bullies? You, you must make the decision for the young master!"
Zhu Mian took a deep breath, his eyes were cold, and he said solemnly: "Those who don't know life or death dare to touch my son, I will make their lives worse than death!"
