I spent the Lantern Festival with my family and drank some wine with my father in the evening. However, the three of us in such a big house still seemed a little deserted. My mother started nagging me again and asked me when I would bring my daughter-in-law home.

There is a wry smile.

My father looked at me and said, "Don't listen to your mother. Let's talk about it after you find the right one. Now that your conditions are so good, you don't have to worry about not finding a good one in the future. You can't rush things like this."

The mother was about to speak again but was stopped by her father. The father said, "Stop talking. The child has been married twice, and both times had the same result. How can he not be careful now?"

I suddenly felt sad, and at the same time I was extremely grateful to my father. My father is a man, and only he can truly understand my thoughts.[

Then I told my father that I was going to Beijing in the next two days and might have to stay in Beijing for a while.

My father asked me: "What are you going to do? Can you tell me?"

I then told him my plan in detail. After hearing this, my father was so happy that he drank two glasses of wine and said, "Okay! You did a good job on this! It's not like being an official if you don't think about the people.

What a good official! This is a good thing for you. Come on, son, let me toast you. I wish you success in Beijing this time!"

In fact, my father is still a very orthodox person in the final analysis, so this incident makes him so happy.

Just after I drank the wine my father had given me, my phone rang. When I saw it was Lin Yu, I hurriedly said to my father, "It's the leader's call."

My father waved to me, and I hurriedly went to the bedroom upstairs to answer the call, "Sister, I'm at home."

She said: "I guess so. Have you drank?"

I replied: "I had a drink with the old man."

She said: "If you think it's okay, come over and have a drink with me. I'm so lonely at home alone."

Today is the Lantern Festival, which is the fifteenth day of the new year. It is the first full-moon night of the year. It is also the night when the Yuan Dynasty begins and the earth returns to spring. Today, the bright moon hangs high in the sky and thousands of colorful lanterns are lit on the ground. According to custom

, people will watch lanterns tonight, guess lantern riddles, eat Lantern Festival, have family reunions, and have fun. But at this time, she will definitely feel extremely lonely at home alone.

Loneliness is always appropriate and is the result of comparison. Therefore, I immediately felt sympathy for her in my heart, so I immediately said to her: "Okay, I'll be right over."

She said in a happy tone, "Feng Xiao, I knew you were the best to me."

Or? I was stunned for a moment, and then I seemed to understand something.

After going downstairs, I said to my parents: "I'm sorry, Dad, Mom, I have to go out right away. The boss is drinking outside and said he must let me go."

My mother said: "Why aren't these leaders staying at home today?"

I hurriedly said: "How do I know? They have to let me go right away. I may have to come back later."

The father hurriedly said: "Go. Old woman, why do you care so much about the child? He is already so old and he is a member of the officialdom, really!"

I smiled apologetically at my parents and immediately went out. When I just closed the door, I vaguely heard my father say to my mother in the room: "You are serious, he doesn't fall in love and you nag him every day. He is so late."

There must be something going on when he goes out, maybe some girl made that call to him."

I smiled bitterly and went to drive.[

Of course, the purpose of my driving was not to let my father suspect that the place I went to was nearby. But my father's words reminded me, so I drove the car to Lin Yu's place and parked it directly in her basement garage. Of course.

It was Lin Yu who opened the door for me, and I told her my worries.

She nodded, "Well, be careful. Your old man is an old revolutionary. He will definitely be angry if he finds out about this."

There are several dishes on the dining table, all cooked by her herself.

Today is the Lantern Festival, and many people are spending time with their families, so it is natural that no one invited her today. Just as my father suspected, he also felt that today was not a leader who wanted me to go out immediately.

On the table is a bottle of Wuliangye, one third of which is gone.

She saw me looking at the wine bottle, so she smiled and said to me: "I know you have to spend time with your family today, so it was hard to call you at first. But I felt too uncomfortable, so I couldn't help but call you later.

Made this call."

I said to her: "Sister, I don't think it's right if you don't make this call. If you hadn't told me not to let me take the initiative to call you, I would have called you to ask you."

She looked at me, "Well, I know. I'm not doing it for safety. I'm a woman, and I'm in such a position now, so I have to be careful."

I raised my glass to her, "Come on, sister, I salute you and wish you a happy holiday."

She smiled brightly at me and said, "I wish you the same."

So we clinked glasses and drank.

She looked at me and smiled, "Feng Xiao, I heard that your performance was very good at the provincial government executive meeting this time? Governor Wang even praised you?"

I smiled bitterly and said, "That's what he said."

She immediately laughed and said, "You have to do it. I heard from Teacher Huang that you reported in Mandarin, and your Mandarin is quite standard. Haha! He also said that the ones behind you also

They were asked to report in Mandarin, which made them miserable. Especially the director of the Archives Department. He was about to retire. He had spoken our Jiangnan dialect all his life, but that day he suddenly spoke half-baked Mandarin.

, it was Jiangnan dialect for a while, and I was sweating it out. Haha!"

I also laughed, "Sister, I also thought that Governor Wang was from the north. I was worried that he wouldn't understand our Jiangnan dialect, so I temporarily decided to report in Mandarin. The main reason was that I took this matter too seriously. Who knew he would

What's that request? By the way, sister, this matter won't have any bad impact on me, right? Will other people have opinions on me because of this? "

She shook her head and said: "That's not the case. People are like this now. The boss has already spoken, so what else do they dare to say? But after this government executive meeting, something related to you happened."

I looked at her doubtfully, "Oh? What's the matter?"

She smiled and said: "Didn't someone say at the meeting that you are the youngest deputy department-level cadre in Jiangnan Province? As a result, this sentence was spread, and then someone posted online saying that there are younger people in Jiangnan Province.

As for the deputy department-level cadre, he was only 28 years old. Now, someone broke the news, saying that that person’s father was the deputy director of our provincial People’s Congress, and his grandfather was the former deputy governor of our province. So what did he say?

They’ve all been spoken out, such as hereditary, second-generation officials, third-generation officials, etc. Anyway, there are a lot of unpleasant words.”

I hurriedly asked: "Is there really such a thing?"

She nodded, "He is the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee of our province. He is indeed only twenty-eight years old this year. He became the deputy mayor directly after graduating from university, and became the mayor two years later, at the division level. He arrived soon after

I served as a minister in a department of the Provincial Youth League Committee, and was promoted to deputy secretary during the election of the Provincial Youth League Committee last year. Fortunately, I had not gone to the Organization Department of the Provincial Committee at that time, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to say anything harsh about this matter.”

I couldn't help but shake my head, "Actually, places like the Youth League and Provincial Committee need young people. But this twenty-eight-year-old is a bit too young. The key is that he has a background. This makes people think. The biggest people nowadays

The problem is that it is easy to develop a psychological imbalance. Just imagine that many people have worked at the department level all their lives, such as my father, who has worked hard and uncomplaining all his life, but what is the result?"

She nodded and said: "Yes. This matter is making it very difficult for us to deal with it now. Although he is a little younger, he is still very low-key on weekdays, and he has never made any big mistakes. He will not be treated like this.

Can he take it?"[

I said: "The key to the problem is that this matter has become known to the public. Otherwise, it may cause other problems. In fact, people may not have any opinions against this person. Everyone is unbalanced.

I feel it’s unfair. Haha! In fact, it’s not the case for me. I regretted it after this executive meeting of the provincial government. I really regret that I shouldn’t have been in the limelight.”

She shook her head and said: "You're fine. After all, you are the one who has been approved by Governor Wang. Who can say anything? Feng Xiao, that's good, at least your position is stable now. Haha! In fact, I was still in the position some time ago.

I am considering something, whether to put you in the position of secretary of the Youth League and Provincial Committee in the future. But it seems that is not possible now, it has become a very sensitive position."

I hurriedly said: "Sister, please don't. I'd better stay in my current seat."

She smiled and said: "Of course you have to stay in your current position for a while, after all, you just went there. I hope you can achieve results, and it will be easier to make progress in the future."

I nodded, "That's why I attach great importance to the project reported this time. Sister, I plan to go to Beijing tomorrow night, mainly to handle this matter."

She said: "Okay."

I suddenly found that I couldn't find a new topic at this time, so I immediately asked her: "Sister, what are you going to do with the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee?"

She looked at me, "Why should we deal with it? As I said, they didn't make any mistakes."

I said: "But...don't you worry about public opinion?"

She shook her head and said: "We can't be swayed by public opinion. "Pure Text First Edition" people have made no mistakes, and every promotion basically complies with organizational procedures. Even if the superiors ask, we can completely explain it. Could it be that the officials

Will future generations not be able to enter politics?”

I smiled and said, "That's true."

She then sighed: "But yes, this is really unfair. Just imagine, if he was not the son of the deputy director of our Provincial People's Congress, would his promotion be so fast? In today's society, various social classes have begun to become fixed, and officials

It is easier for the descendants of the descendants to become officials than the descendants of civilians. Even if the descendants of civilians can enter the official career, they often encounter a glass ceiling in terms of promotion. Feng Xiao, have you noticed? Most of the senior officials who have been dismissed in recent years are from civilians. And they continue to

News has emerged that the descendants of certain officials, relying on the influence of their fathers and brothers, have had a smooth career and have reached the top positions at the department level or even the bureau level early. There are actually two reasons why they are hated. One is that today's officials

They occupy a lot of resources and have a bad reputation. Secondly, their descendants receive special care in their career, which is unfair."

I smiled and said: "You are the executive deputy director of the Organization Department. Even you know the shortcomings. Have you never thought about changing it?"

She came to clink glasses with me, and then downed the drink, "It's easier said than done! Let alone a deputy minister like me, who is our minister, and the secretary of the provincial party committee can't do anything about it. This is caused by the system. In fact, this situation has never been like this.

This has been the case since ancient times. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, China has been an official-based country. This is a fact. Bureaucrats occupy the most social resources and the most glory in society. To put it simply, being an official has everything.

Being an official means everything. But at the same time, bureaucrats are also the leaders of politics and the operators of government affairs. The prosperity of the country and the quality of society largely depend on the quality of officials and the efficiency of the bureaucracy. According to

The logic of bureaucracy is that this system must constantly draw new talents from civilians to ensure the efficiency of bureaucracy and maintain the stability of the country and the healthy development of society. Therefore, the selection of officials in the past dynasties has always been political.

The core issue of the system. However, China is a country with family as its core value. Officials and their families are a community of shared interests. Officials have the obligation to bring good things to their families, including of course their descendants.

Come to the benefits.

The Han Dynasty implemented the system of recruiting, recruiting and selecting officials, which is a symbol of the system. It was originally implemented in good condition. Most of the people who were promoted were outstanding talents. However, after this system lasted for a period of time, problems began. Once the people who became high-ranking officials were surrounded by

People who are educated are bound to have a high regard for their children. Even if there is no special request, the children of high-ranking officials who enter the official career are often treated favorably. It seems very natural for the aura of high-ranking officials to be projected on their children. Secondly, because of the

In the system, high-ranking officials have the power of talented people. For the person who is being targeted, the Lord is the one who really changes his destiny and is kind to him. When the person being targeted becomes a relatively big official in the future, he is also capable.

At that time, it seemed that the best way for them to repay their kindness was to promote the benefactor's children. If they had already entered the official career, they would give them a hand in promotion. As a result, a situation gradually formed. The more senior officials were, the more their children would do
