In the past few years, it was popular in China's officialdom that the chief officials of units all worked at No. 5 on the ninth floor, which meant that the Nine-Five Supreme Being was the most powerful person. Later, a Hong Kong Feng Shui master said on a TV show that the Nine-Five Supreme Being has no mountains and no waterfront.
Hiding the wind and not accepting the water is just working from nine to five. Since then, this wind of nine and five has faded away, and has been replaced by the number five and nine, whose meaning remains the same.
The Land Rover drove into the gate and parked in front of the forestry department office building. Huo Dapeng got out of the car and opened the door. Xu Sanxiao stepped out of the Land Rover. The security guard at the gate was dumbfounded when he saw his shocking appearance.
.I have seen the boss be low-key, but I have never seen him so low-key. I have seen the servants be high-profile, but I have never seen him so high-profile. But there is no doubt that the young man in simple clothes stepping out of the car at this moment must be the boss, because many
As soon as Sanxiao got out of the car, Huo Dapeng, who was originally tall and powerful, seemed to be shorter. It was not because he was shorter, but because after Xu Sanxiao got out of the car, Huo Dapeng's imposing aura suddenly disappeared.
.
I often hear people say that this boy is extraordinary and will become a great person in his old age. But few people can explain clearly what makes him extraordinary. There is a saying that clothes are bought and temperament is cultivated. If you stay in a high position for a long time, you will have it.
Graceful, always in the arena is inevitable. Xu Sanxiao has a thin body, only a medium height of 1.75 meters, but there is a spirit in him, as if it can rise out of the body, and he will not look like a dwarf wherever he goes. Since he was a child,
Huo Dapeng, who had been downtrodden countless times, could not show any dignity in front of this young third grandfather.
In front of Director Fan's office, Xu Sanxiao signaled Dapeng to wait at the door, knocked on the door, opened the door and walked in.
How far is the road from village official to director? How big is the gap? Xu Sanxiao thought about the fact that he was not yet a member of the system, sighed in his heart, and took a long breath. He gathered his mind and raised his head.
Look, I saw a middle-aged man sitting behind a huge desk. Hearing his footsteps, he raised his head and looked at Xu Sanxiao.
What an ugly face! Xu Sanxiao tried his best to look calm without any surprise. "Good afternoon, you must be Director Fan, right?"
Who is this guy? Didn't he say that Commander Zhao's nephew wanted to see me? He was dressed like this? What happened to the gate? The middle-aged man showed a surprised expression. He nodded and asked, "Are you Comrade Zhenhua's nephew?"
The middle-aged man is none other than Director Fan Dawei of the Provincial Forestry Department. This man has a very special appearance. His whole face is swollen and red without being beaten, and is covered with craters left by the remains of acne. His eyes are like those of a small female mouse.
The sharp corners are red, as if he has keratitis. The mite pits on the nose of the garlic head are densely packed and disgusting, and the lips are surrounded by tight wrinkles, which looks more like a pylorus. The appearance of this person fully proves that our party
The style of selecting cadres is not based on appearance.
Xu Sanxiao looked at it carefully, but face recognition was one of his professional skills. It only took a moment to look at a person. He quickly replied: "Director Fan, I am from Huxiao Village, Xiema Town, Yanyang County, Nanshan City."
Chang Xu Sanxiao, I came here to talk to you about something."
Fan Dawei said displeased: "No matter what you want to talk about, put it aside for now. Let me ask you, why are you pretending to be Commander Zhao's nephew?"
Xu Sanxiao calmly took a step forward to the desk, took out the note from his pocket and signed the name of the Forestry Department Forest Nature Center with the fingerprints of all members of the investigation team and put it on the table. He said: "You have to read it first.
look at this."
"What are you looking at?" Fan Dawei impatiently grabbed it and asked, "What is this???????" Bang! He slapped it on the table, fearing that he might have seen it wrong, so he picked it up and looked at it carefully, thinking in his heart
He scolded: "These are a bunch of moths and idiots and foodies!"
Xu Sanxiao said with deep meaning: "Director Fan, I don't necessarily want to pay for the bill when I come here today."
Fan Dawei was still cursing in his heart, scolding Cheng Xinlin, an old foodie, for squandering the limited funds of the Forestry Department, and scolding the security guard standing guard at the door for being blind and allowing Xu Sanxiao to slip through and get into his office. This money is very important to a powerful department like him.
For cadres, it is not a big sum. The key is whether the money spent is worth it. Who is spending it? Are his opinions respected in the process of spending money?
Generally speaking, officials are not afraid of spending public money, but only state officials are allowed to set fires and people are not allowed to light lamps. The people below go out on business to eat, drink and have fun. If they are the direct followers of the leader, they will naturally have nothing to say. But if it is a sour and stupid person like Cheng Xinlin
A grumbling person, every money spent must be approved by him.
Fan Dawei quickly calmed down the anger in his chest, pushed the note back to Xu Sanxiao, his face was as heavy as water, and asked one after another: "Where is Cheng Xinlin? The investigation is over, why hasn't he come back to hand in the investigation report? And how did you get it?
This note? You just said you didn’t necessarily come to ask for a bill, so what did you mean?”
Xu Sanxiao said calmly: "Professor Cheng and the others are on the way. As for where this note came from, you can call him to verify it. I just said that you are not necessarily here to ask for a bill, which means you can give the money or not.
Whether you give it or not is entirely up to you."
Xu Sanxiao's words aroused Fan Dawei's interest. He was still adjusting his thinking and analyzing the cause and effect of the matter. In fact, what he was most concerned about was what role Zhao Zhenhua's nephew played in this matter? He pointed at the note and said: "
Village Chief Xiao Xu, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly, it’s all up to me in my mind? Can you make the decision to just say no to such a large amount of money?”
"Yes!" Xu Sanxiao simply said: "No matter how much money you have, it will eventually be spent. One of your ideas can save the jobs of hundreds of people in our village. Huxiao Villa is a village-run enterprise founded by me. Yezhuling
The hunting park on the mountain is the main business of the villa. Professor Cheng and others couldn’t find the tiger, so they put the responsibility on our villa??????"
Fan Dawei had quickly recovered from his initial surprise and unexpected emotions, and had clarified his thoughts. He waved his hand to interrupt Xu Sanxiao's words, "Young man, don't be impatient, and don't speak so radically. Let's not discuss this matter first. I'll start with it."
Let me ask you, you are not Comrade Zhenhua’s nephew, why did you come in his car?”
Xu Sanxiao grasped something keenly from this sentence. The Zhao family has a huge influence in Shannan's officialdom. Zhao Haifeng is very low-key, but his car is not. Xu Sanxiao said: "We are very good friends.
The reason why I want to take his car to see you is because Haifeng has been to Huxiao Villa several times and is very familiar with the environment there. If you need to verify the authenticity of what I am about to say to you, I can always send him
Please come and testify."
This is a scandal that has not yet broken out but may break out at any time, and it may also be a warning! Fan Dawei's worries are far beyond Xu Sanxiao's imagination. He waved his hand and said: "No need, I already understand what you mean. This note
Please stay, I will arrange the finance to settle the bill for you later."
Is this the end? This is the first time in Xu Sanxiao's life that he has truly felt the power of power. But the power is not his, not even Zhao Haifeng's, but belongs to Zhao Haifeng's father and ancestors who have been operating for 20 years in Shannan Province.
A huge network of relationships has been woven over the past few years. Fan Dawei's purpose in resolving this matter in such a decisive way was that he did not want the dirty conflicts within the Forestry Department to be exploited by any link in this network. Because he was afraid of this network,
So he not only gave Xu Sanxiao money, but also gave him the sentence he wanted.
On the way back, Xu Sanxiao felt gloomy.
Huo Dapeng asked him why he was still unhappy after getting the money and the matter was done.
Xu Sanxiao sighed lightly and said nothing.
He was conceited and thought that he could accomplish this with his sharp tongue and miraculous skills. On the way here, he made more than a dozen assumptions in his mind, ranging from his pre-emptive dressing style to his rationale.
He spoke and acted freely, and even thought of using magical magic on Director Fan when necessary, but in the end it was a fake and a fake, relying on a car and a license plate to get it done. It was just like a boxer, carefully prepared and waiting.
After the attack, he punched the air but his opponent did not engage in the fight. Although he won, this victory did not allow him to experience the joy of conquest at all. On the contrary, through this incident, he realized that in officialdom
In this world, no matter how strong your personal abilities are, they are still insignificant.
What he was thinking about was why Zhao Haifeng took the initiative to lend me a car before? Did he deliberately reveal the power of the Zhao family to me?
Xu Sanxiao, who had closed his eyes in deep thought, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "You are right, the matter is done, I have no reason to be unhappy."
Huo Dapeng said: "You have to thank Zhao Haifeng for this. You have made me my friend."
"I must thank him, but at this stage it is really not suitable to continue to have a close relationship with him." Xu Sanxiao reflected on himself: "After all, we are from two different worlds. If we don't do things like a fox pretending to be a tiger, it will become a dog-fight.
, some people can't afford to offend the Zhao family, but they can knock me into the dust in a matter of seconds."
If the officialdom of Shannan Province is compared to an all-encompassing casino, there are stud games that require tens of millions of gambling dollars, and baccarat, where hundreds and thousands of small bets are made for fun. And the circle that Zhao Haifeng is in is the highest standard.
That gambling table. The incident at the Forestry Department made Xu Sanxiao realize that his chips were too few. The slightest disturbance on this table could cause him to lose everything. This incident also illustrates another truth. In officialdom,
, the first thing to do is to find a poker table that suits your chips, otherwise, without enough chips, you will have no choice but to stay away from the poker table, and you will not even be qualified to join the team.
Recalling Zhao Haifeng's enthusiastic and cordial manner when he borrowed the car, Xu Sanxiao couldn't help but ask: Zhao Haifeng, Zhao Haifeng, are you my noble person or the evil star in your destiny?
