"Zheng Bofang, who is Zheng Bofang?" Liu Qingyu seemed to be somewhat impressed by this name, but he was not very impressed.
Long Xiang said with a smile: "Zheng Bofang is the deputy county magistrate of our Jinglin County. He is responsible for agriculture, water conservancy, fruit industry, forestry, renovation of dilapidated adobe houses in rural areas, production safety, etc. He is also my old leader. He He is not very old, only 32 years old. He reached the position of deputy county magistrate entirely through his own hard work. Although he is young, he is talented and knowledgeable. At the age of 32, he is able to deal with many county committees and county government bosses with ease. Although on the surface he is very comfortable and has a very good relationship with all the leaders, in fact, he Many big bosses in the county committee and county government simply look down upon them. They think that most of them are too selfish. They only think about how to seek personal gain for themselves. If they want to further their career, they rarely think about the common people. Rarely do we think of ways to do more practical things for the people."
Liu Qingyu was stunned. He did not expect that there would be such a talented person with such personality in Jinglin County. The 32-year-old deputy county magistrate had reached such a position step by step entirely on his own. The most important thing is that , the other party also has a heart for the country and the people, such talents are real talents. After hearing Long Xiang's introduction, Liu Qingyu really wanted to meet Deputy County Magistrate Zheng Bofang.
But at this time, Long Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "Director, although my old leader is very talented and capable, as I told you just now, he has a very arrogant character. Two days ago, I I had dinner with him, but..."
After saying this, Long Xiang showed a very embarrassed look on his face.
Liu Qingyu immediately realized something and said with a smile: "Does your old leader have some opinions on me?"
Long Xiang nodded and said: "Yes, the old leader told me when we had dinner last time that judging from your work style, you should be a second-generation official, and not an ordinary second-generation official, and you Your style of doing things is too simple, crude and direct, and lacks some necessary political wisdom and smooth handling methods. It is said that it is extremely risky for people like you to hang out in officialdom, and it is also very risky to follow you, although once you become successful, The people who follow you may benefit a lot, but once you fail, you may be fine and leave with a pat on the back, but the people who follow you may be implicated and become the target of attack by others, so the old leader advised me I left you and said you could help me arrange a job in another unit."
Hearing Long Xiang's candid words, Liu Qingyu just smiled lightly and said, "Long Xiang, what do you think about this matter?"
Long Xiang smiled and said: "I think the old leader's analysis and positioning of you is not accurate, because what he knows about you is what others say, and he lacks a real understanding of you. But during this time, I followed you. Some things, through these things, I believe that you are an official who really wants to do something practical for our country and the people. You are different from ordinary officials who only care about personal gain or career advancement, and you are not On the contrary, I think you are a person with a very high IQ and EQ, as well as a very high political wisdom.
Of course, due to your age and experience, you still lack experience in how to deal with some difficult things in officialdom, but I believe that as long as you are given a certain amount of time to accumulate and hone, you will grow into a person that ordinary people can only I look up to the officials who serve the country and the people. I hope to be by your side, learn more and exercise with you. I also hope to be able to contribute to the great rejuvenation of our Chinese nation just like you. , do more practical things for our Chinese people."
After listening to Long Xiang's words, Liu Qingyu looked at Long Xiang with a little more expectation and appreciation. From Long Xiang's words, he heard the feeling buried deep in Long Xiang's heart. That kind of passion is his desire to do something practical for the country and the people, and it is his determination and will to be a real official. Liu Qingyu knows that when the previous directors were in office, Long Xiang's passion could only be buried deep in his heart, but now, he showed it vividly in front of him without any cover-up. From this moment on, Liu Qingyu completely regarded Long Xiang as his direct descendant.
Liu Qingyu smiled and said: "Haha, Long Xiang, you have praised me a little. I am a very simple person. I just want to do something real for the people. As for Deputy County Magistrate Zheng's opinion, If I put myself in his shoes, with the limited information, I estimate that the situation I can analyze is roughly the same as his. From this, it can be seen that your old leader still values you very much and respects you. I care about him, and I also value his wisdom very much. Let's see if Deputy County Magistrate Zheng is in the office. If he is in the office, let's go over and pay a visit together, and I will report to him on my work."
Long Xiang nodded, and then immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of his old leader Zheng Bofang, telling him that Liu Qingyu was going to visit him and asking him if it was convenient. Zheng Bofang hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, you guys Come here."
When Liu Qingyu and Long Xiang walked into Zheng Bofang's office in the county government, the first thing that caught Liu Qingyu's eyes was a row of bookcases against the wall. The bookcases were not the ones with windows and decorations used in some leadership rooms. It was the open type, and Liu Qingyu discovered that many of the books on the bookshelf did not look brand new, and many of them still had bookmarks on them. From this detail alone, Liu Qingyu could tell, Deputy County Magistrate Zheng was not an ordinary person, and what really shocked Liu Qingyu was that there were many original works in English on this bookshelf, including Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations" , Marx's "Das Kapital", Marshall's "Principles of Economics", Keynes's "The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money", etc. Almost some of the original English versions of classic economics are available here, and some are very targeted. These are highly specialized works in the financial field, and these books are obviously older than other books. Some of the pages are even curled, so you can tell at a glance that they are often read.
Seeing this, no matter what kind of person Zheng Bofang is, Liu Qingyu first has a preliminary understanding of Zheng Bofang's knowledge. After all, the original English version is not what most people are willing to read, let alone a deputy county magistrate in charge of agriculture. .
When Liu Qingyu's eyes fell on Zheng Bofang, he found that Zheng Bofang was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a dark suit. He looked very mature, but Liu Qingyu could tell that Zheng Bofang's outfit was definitely deliberately After all, the purpose is to make himself look more mature. Seeing this, Liu Qingyu has a better understanding of Zheng Bofang's city.
After Liu Qingyu and the others sat down, Zheng Bo looked at them with a smile and said, "You are here for the financial budget of your county urban management bureau, right?"
Liu Qingyu was stunned at the time and immediately looked at Long Xiang next to him. He thought Long Xiang had mentioned this issue to Zheng Bofang in advance.
However, Liu Qingyu found that Long Xiang was also a little dazed. It was obvious that Long Xiang's expression told Liu Qingyu that he had not mentioned it to Zheng Bofang before.
Zheng Bofang smiled faintly when he saw the expressions of the two people, and said: "Liu Qingyu, you don't have to wonder, this matter was not told to me by any of you, but I knew it through my information channels, and I also knew , Han Mingqiang is behind this matter. It should be Long Xiang’s idea for you two to come here, and you want to learn from me."
Liu Qingyu was not in a daze this time, because he knew that the deputy county magistrate in front of him was really not simple, so he went straight to the point and said: "Deputy Magistrate Zheng, you are right, we are here today I really came here to ask for advice from you. Long Xiang said that you are very politically wise. Now that I have met you, you are indeed well-deserved. However, I heard from Long Xiang that you seem to have some opinions about me. In this case, we can talk openly and honestly. .”
After hearing Liu Qingyu's words, it was Zheng Bofang's turn to be stunned this time.
He didn't expect that Liu Qingyu could adapt so quickly at such a young age, be so calm and not impatient, and it was obvious that there was a slight provocation in Liu Qingyu's words. This behavior made him look at Liu Qingyu a few times.
He smiled faintly, nodded and said: "Okay, very good. Being able to make Long Xiang follow you so wholeheartedly is indeed a bit of a feat. In this case, I will talk to you candidly. Don't treat me as a deputy." County Magistrate, as a leader, I don’t treat you as a subordinate. We just treat you as ordinary friends. Let’s have a good communication. Of course, Liu Qingyu, if you can convince me, I can guarantee that what you are facing now will If you are facing a financial dilemma, I can provide you with a very safe solution, ensuring that you can solve it within one day."
Liu Qingyu smiled and nodded: "Okay, Deputy County Magistrate Zheng is very refreshing and I like it, so let's talk openly and honestly."
Zheng Bofang nodded with a smile and asked directly: "Liu Qingyu, I think Long Xiang should tell you frankly that I think you are a second-generation official. I don't know what you think of the current second-generation official phenomenon. Do you consider yourself a qualified official?"
As soon as he came up, Zheng Bo asked Liu Qingyu a very sharp question.
