Chapter two(1/3)
It was only a matter of time before this matter came before the new Municipal Party Committee Secretary, but Secretary Chen never thought that this day would come so soon. (.Pure text) As the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, he certainly has the full power to make decisions about every department in his subordinate departments.
People's future is an issue, but once such power is regarded as a kind of private right, problems arise.
The privatization of public power is actually a long-standing phenomenon in the officialdom, and this phenomenon is also one of the roots of corruption.
Public power should come from the people's authorization and consent, and can only be used to serve public interests and people's interests. However, once it is restructured by officials and completed privatization, due to the mobilization of power, the control of resources
Ability, so it actually becomes a treasure gourd in the hands of officials. As long as it is sacrificed, they can get whatever they want.
It is precisely because of the impossible nature of the gourd of power. With power, everything comes. Therefore, many officials do not really care whether they are abusing their power, but only care about the consequences brought by power in the process of abusing their power.
joy.[
Moreover, over the years, the generalization, deepening, and root causes of corruption have nothing to do with the privatization of power. The result of the privatization of power is the emergence of numerous profit-making groups in Chinese society. They are like malignant tumors that are parasitic on the health of the country and society.
The body depends on society for survival but greatly damages society.
Why is public power privatized? Ultimately, this is because of the lack of supervision and checks and balances on power. There is a lack of horizontal supervision and checks and balances between power agencies of different natures, and a lack of bottom-up vertical supervision and checks and balances from the public.
The only effective way of supervision is top-down vertical supervision. However, because this kind of supervision cannot overcome the dilemma of power asymmetry and information asymmetry faced by a few people supervising the majority, its actual effectiveness has been greatly undermined.
Got a discount.
Therefore, in the final analysis, Secretary Chen's original behavior was a kind of reckless randomness. Perhaps he never thought about how much trouble his randomness might bring to the next generation.
However, I did not expect that the new municipal party committee secretary in front of me would start to deal with this matter on the first day she took office. I immediately thought that maybe she was thinking about this matter from two levels -
First, maybe she heard a lot of people talking about this matter and felt that it had greatly damaged the image of the municipal party committee. It is a routine and even a necessity for new officials to take office with three things in mind, because this is a new official.
It is the simplest and most effective way for an appointed official to establish his prestige. Therefore, it is possible that she wants to start from this matter.
There are several advantages to starting from this matter. First, it can establish the fair and impartial image of the Municipal Party Committee in employment issues. Second, it can send a signal to the cadres and the masses: the new Municipal Party Committee Secretary generally recognizes the work of his predecessor, but at the same time he also believes that
The predecessor had a big problem with hiring people. This clearly separated Secretary Chen’s reform of Shangjiang City from his personal ethics. In addition, the greatest expression of power as the Municipal Party Committee Secretary is in the final analysis.
Use **, so if she starts from this place, it will be easier for her to quickly establish her prestige.
Secondly, I think there are personal reasons for this. Because she is a woman, and as a woman, the most disgusting thing is that men are so scrupulous about women's issues.
I once read a survey. As women, the number one type of man they hate most is the playboy. The second number is the untrustworthy man. And the man without money is ranked second.
After ranking 20th among the types that women don’t like.
As a member of the officialdom, she may have been numb to the issue of men's style in the officialdom, but she would definitely be extremely disgusted with using public power to do such things.
Of course, these are just my personal guesses, but now, since she has asked me this question, I have to answer her. But I said something else before answering her. I said: "Secretary Rong
, this matter... haha! After all, I am also a member of the Standing Committee. I was also there when this issue was studied. Some of them I agreed to, and some I abstained from. So, I can’t say much about this matter.
.”
This is actually an attitude that I must express in advance, but I also know that since she has asked me this question, it is impossible for me to avoid it.
Sure enough, she immediately said with a smile: "Mayor Feng, I have learned about many situations. Under such circumstances at that time, it was impossible for you to disagree. After all, that was what the municipal party committee secretary meant. But I also know,
Among all the Standing Committee members at that time, except for Mayor Liu, you were the one who often opposed those unreasonable issues. But I also know that you are different from Mayor Liu at the time. Mayor Liu had a strong sense of
Personal feelings, but you are not. You are a person who pays attention to fairness and impartiality in doing things, and you will directly raise things that you don't like or think are incorrect. So many people say that you are a very upright official.
And the ability is very strong. To be honest, Mayor Feng, the organization asked me to come here to be the secretary of the municipal party committee, and I was under considerable pressure. But when the organization introduced you to me, I immediately
I feel relieved. Haha! Mayor Feng, with a mayor like you here, my future work pressure will not be too great. From now on, if you boldly let it go, I will do it under normal circumstances.
I will not interfere too much in the work of your government. I am the secretary of the municipal party committee and can control the overall situation. To be honest, Shangjiang City did a pretty good job some time ago. As the geographical conditions of the province are relatively good, but
In a city with a very backward economy, it is not easy for you to overcome many obstacles in such a short period of time, find ways to raise so much funds, and make the city's reforms effective so quickly. This can only be achieved by old people.
Chen has such courage. Of course, this also includes the joint efforts of you and the government team. Especially you, Mayor Feng, as the executive deputy mayor, you have raised so much funds under such difficult circumstances.
And you have made the industrial park prosperous in such a short period of time, which is not easy."
I hurriedly said: "Secretary Rong, I just did the job I was supposed to do. The main thing is that the municipal party committee led well. To be honest, if it hadn't been for Secretary Chen's strong support and the extremely loose policies he gave us, there would be no
With his advanced awareness, our work could not have been done so well. But then... ugh!"
She nodded and said: "That's right, you spoke very objectively. I think the most important thing in a place is not necessarily economic development, but the employment of people, because talents are the most important factor that determines everything. As long as the human problems are solved
Okay, then any other problems can be solved naturally. This problem is more likely to be a problem of the system. Under the current system of our country, we can do better instead of waiting for the system to change.
Then do some things later. I often think that since our country originally designed such a system, this itself shows that such a system still has its basis and necessity for existence. Now, of course, our system is due to the development of the times.
There have been some problems, but the main body of them should not have big problems. The key to the problem is whether the people who implement the policy follow principles."
I kept nodding. To be honest, what she said was the most positive thing I had ever heard. But at the same time, I felt that her words were very reasonable and objective. In the final analysis, what she said represented a kind of
Positive and sunny, but my thoughts were filled with too much negativity and darkness. I said: "Secretary Rong, you talked so well. This is indeed the problem, but in today's society we have to be like you.
It’s difficult to say that.”
She nodded, "Yes, it's difficult. But this requires our first-level party committee and government leaders to stick to the bottom line, otherwise, the people will completely lose confidence in us. Mayor Feng, I'm sorry, I
The topic has gone too far. Let’s go back to the previous topic. The issue of employment is very important. The root cause of the corruption we currently have is the corruption of employment. Corruption of employment is fundamental. In the final analysis, this is the corruption of power.
It started, and then it spread to other issues of corruption. So, I don’t want to delay this matter, we must solve this problem first. Mayor Feng, do you have a different view on this issue? I think,
On this issue, we must first reach a consensus and then quickly make corrections to re-establish the bad image of our Shangjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government as soon as possible. This is very critical."
It seems that she has made up her mind a long time ago. I thought to myself. But I suddenly became a little worried... I thought about it and said: "Secretary Rong, let me talk about my thoughts. If I can
If I’m wrong, please criticize and correct me.”
She smiled and said, "Aren't I asking for your opinion in private? In the final analysis, it's just the two of us exchanging opinions. We should know what we say and keep our word. Right, Mayor Feng?"
I laughed too, and then said: "Secretary Rong, first of all, I think your idea is correct. But to be honest, I don't think every female comrade we promote is unqualified. There are still some among them.
It’s very good. So, my opinion is very simple, that is, don’t overdo it.”[
She looked at me, with a smile still on her face, "Tell me, what do you mean by overcorrecting?"
I replied: "It's very simple, that is, we need to treat them differently. Those who are really capable, qualified during their tenure, and those who are well evaluated by the masses will continue to serve. Those with poor abilities and those with strong opinions from the masses will be treated accordingly.
Just deal with the situation.”
She shook her head and said: "Mayor Feng, I think your words are a bit general. For example, the director of the Municipal Culture Bureau who has just been approved by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. Her name is Ou Qing, right? Does she have the ability? Yes.
I know. But is she really suitable to be the director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau? I think she is not even qualified to continue to be the leader of the cultural troupe. Mayor Feng, tell me, what does she look like as the leader of the cultural troupe? Forget it.
Okay, I won’t say any unpleasant words. However, should such people be treated differently? I’m afraid that’s not possible, right?”
I understood what she meant. In her mind, Ou Qing was actually an old bustard.
But I can't say anything more, "Secretary Rong, to be honest, I paid attention to the art troupe at the beginning, and Ou Qing was also a cadre of mine, but I basically don't know what happened later. Some things may just be rumors.
, so I think it is better to be cautious about such things. At least the organization should investigate clearly before speaking. Secretary Rong, I have no intention of saying good things for anyone. I just tell the truth in my heart honestly.
Thoughts. The issue of cadres is indeed very important, and it is precisely because it is so important that we should be more cautious. If we do not conduct in-depth investigation and study, and then remove them from their posts wholesale, it is likely to cause the following
The cadres are panicking. What do you think, Secretary Rong?"
She nodded, "Maybe your opinion is right. Let me think about it, think about it."
I suddenly felt that what I just said seemed a bit too direct, and then said: "Secretary Rong, this is just my personal idea, and it may not necessarily be correct. Haha! I don't pay much attention to the way I speak.
That was too direct, please forgive me?"
She smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, I really like your character. We are colleagues, so we should tell the truth like this. If I do anything wrong in the future, I hope you can remind me at any time. If you have any
If something is not done well, I will remind you at any time."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart: Secretary Chen had told me this before, but what was the result?
Then we talked about some other things, and finally we went to her and said: "Secretary Rong, our city government is going to help you out tonight, you see..."
She smiled and shook her head and said: "Mayor Feng, no need. I don't like that kind of formalism. Our finances in Shangjiang City are already difficult, so there is no need to spend that kind of money. Of course, sometimes it should be spent
Money still has to be spent. After all, our country has been very particular about welcoming people and sending them off for thousands of years. But I don’t have to. By the way, Mayor Feng, the person who will replace Secretary Yang will be here in two days, and our new
The organization director will also arrive on the same day as him."
I asked: "Are you sent from the province?"
She nodded and said: "The person who will replace Secretary Yang is the assistant to the president of Jiangnan University. The organization director was transferred from the Provincial Foreign Affairs Bureau. He used to be the director of the Organization Department. Let's do this. When they arrive, we will arrange a welcome banquet together. You
What do you think?"
I smiled and said, "It would be more appropriate for the municipal party committee to arrange it. What do you think?"
She pointed at me and smiled, "Why do you keep such things so separate? OK, I'll let the Municipal Party Committee Office arrange it when the time comes."
I have to keep a clear mind at all times for such things. The municipal party committee and the city government are two completely different institutions. In the final analysis, the municipal party committee is the leading organization, while the city government is just the executor. Like the thing she just mentioned,
Originally, the municipal committee should have come forward. This is also the rule.
Just as she was talking, Rong came in and said to Secretary Rong: "Secretary Chen is leaving Shangjiang City soon. Secretary Rong, will you see him off?"
Secretary Rong thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I won't go. Mayor Feng, please go see him off."
I immediately understood in my heart: She must hate Secretary Chen very much.
But I didn’t want to see Secretary Chen off. After all, it would probably be awkward if I met him. But since the new municipal party secretary had spoken, I had no choice but to go. I know that she actually also
Just the same, they also value my obedience very much.
I agreed repeatedly.
