Under such circumstances, I cannot think too much. If I think too much, others will think that I am very deliberate and false. [`Novel`] But I must give an answer that is satisfactory to Secretary Fang, the transferor.
To satisfy him, I must first satisfy myself, and the key to my own satisfaction is to figure out Secretary Fang's preferences.
Just do what you like. This is what Lin Yi told me on the phone today.
Suddenly, a lightbulb flashed in my mind. I suddenly remembered what Secretary Fang said when we entered here just now: "...we use the word "old fellows" to describe our group of old guys.
Not bad."[
This shows that he appreciates Cao Cao's poetry very much. At this time, I suddenly felt secretly happy, because I had read a poem by Cao Cao before, and this poem should be rarely read by ordinary people.
I remembered this poem after reading it at that time, because I felt that Cao Cao's consciousness was very advanced.
In fact, my thinking process just now was very short, because after Secretary Fang asked me, everyone started to pay attention to me. After thinking about it briefly, I replied: "Secretary Fang, I am not a liberal arts major. I am interested in poetry."
There is no research. If I remember some poems, the most important thing is that I like them. Secondly, my memory is better because I am a medical student and I have intensively trained my memory. From elementary school to now,
I have also read a lot of poems, and I like a lot of them, but my favorite is the one by Cao Cao.
Secretary Fang kept nodding, and then raised his glass to me, "Mayor Xiao Feng's answer can be scored ninety points. Yes, I toast you, not for anything else, but just for your studiousness."
I was immediately frightened and stood up in a hurry and said to him respectfully: "Secretary Fang, you have thanked me."
After I drank it, he drank it all. He immediately said to everyone: "I usually have strict requirements on my subordinates and rarely praise people, but Xiao Feng is the second person I praise. Why?
Because I found that he has his own unique thinking, which is very rare. However, Xiao Feng also has shortcomings, such as not being vigorous enough at work, being too bookish, etc. But it has to be said the other way around, this is a
Determined by a person's character, a person's shortcomings should be corrected and filled with advantages. This is also difficult. How can it be done? It is very simple, improve self-cultivation. How to improve self-cultivation? Read more and cultivate yourself well. Xiao Feng
Mayor, if you have time, read more of "Historical Records", especially the part about aristocratic families, it may be very helpful to you."
I have read "Historical Records", but I don't have the patience to study it seriously. Now I heard him asking me to do this, and I hurriedly agreed. But at this time, I had some doubts in my heart: Why did he want me to read "Historical Records"
What about that part? Is there anything special in it?
I thought about it for a while, but I really couldn't remember what was actually said in that part of "Historical Records".
Afterwards, Secretary Fang stopped talking about such topics. He first told a joke, and then the other leaders at the table told jokes. The atmosphere at the wine table suddenly became relaxed and lively.
Secretary Fang told a meaningful joke
During the May Day holiday of a certain year, a fly from the city went to the countryside to play, and happened to live in the mosquito's house. During these three days, the rural mosquitoes entertained the flies from the city every day, and the flies from the city enjoyed themselves while having a good meal
We visited the rural scenery in the mountainous area. It was so nice! Before leaving, City Fly felt that Rural Mosquito was honest and honest, so he invited Mosquito to sit at his house in the city. Mosquito promised to take his children to visit a big city during the summer vacation, but he had never been to a big city anyway.
Summer vacation is coming soon. Mosquito took the children in the car and rushed to the house of the city fly. When I got off the car, wow! The city is so nice! It’s so big! There is a lot of wine and lights, singing and dancing. The buildings are so high that you have to take the elevator. It’s so beautiful.
Yeah! I’m just not used to going to the toilet at home. I have to build a latrine in a good house. City people are too careless...
Brother Fly took the Mosquito family to visit the zoo, water park, and botanical garden, and had a great time! When it was time for dinner, Brother Mosquito couldn't stand it anymore, "Brother Fly! Where are we going to eat? Your bathroom wiped my legs."
It was slippery to stand on, and some people smelled like toilet water, so we were all starving!"
The fly said: "This is how our city is. Let's go to the west side of the city and there is a mass grave. There may be food there."
So the Mosquito family flew to the graveyard, and they happened to see a few stone statues. The mosquito thought they were some strong men, so they bumped into them, sucked a little bit, and crawled in the graveyard all night. Before dawn the next day, the Mosquito took the family with them.
Old and young Ben came to bid farewell to the fly family.
The fly asked why he didn't stay longer when he first arrived. The mosquito cried: "Brother Fly, everything in this city is good, but the people in this city are inhumane. After sucking for a whole night, not even a drop of blood was sucked out.
dew."
After Secretary Fang finished speaking, everyone naturally laughed. Secretary Fang continued: "Now some of our leading cadres do not care about farmers. In the final analysis, they just look down on farmers. There are many such cases. Not long ago, a director of our provincial department
, because a migrant worker accidentally soiled his clothes and ended up beating him up, are people like this still cadres of our party? Secretary Rong, you leading comrades working at the grassroots level must not be superior.
, you must pay more attention to the people at the lowest level. Shangjiang City is a key area for reform in the province, and you have many laid-off workers there. You must pay more attention to their lives. This is not just for maintaining stability, it is
You must do good things and never be considered inhumane by the common people."
Secretary Rong smiled and said: "Secretary Fang, don't worry, we will do a good job in this area. At present, we have a complete set of plans to solve their lives and re-employment."
Secretary Fang nodded, "Very good." Suddenly he laughed, "I just said we wouldn't talk about work, why did we talk about it again?"
Everyone laughed. Secretary Liu said with a smile: "Actually, don't be so deliberate. Today we are with the comrades from Shangjiang City. We talk about work and life. We can say whatever comes to mind when we feel like it. Isn't that more important?
good?"
Secretary Fang smiled and said: "Okay, that's good."
Secretary Liu said with a smile: "I heard a joke recently, which was quite interesting: There was a meeting in a certain unit. Three hours passed and the meeting was not over yet. At this time, a middle-aged woman stood up and walked towards the door.
The leader asked: What are you doing? I wonder if the meeting has not ended yet? The woman replied: I have children at home. After another half an hour, another young woman stood up. The leader asked: Where are you going?
, don’t you have children in your family? The young woman replied: If I always sit here and have meetings, I will never have children in my family.”
Everyone laughed immediately. Secretary Fang pointed at him and kept laughing, "Old Liu, what a joke...haha..." [
Later, Secretary Rong also told a joke: A grassroots female cadre gave gifts to the leader and designed two plans: if the leader was not very enthusiastic, she would give souvenirs; if the leader was very enthusiastic, she would give shopping cards. The next day, she went to the city to see the leader.
At home, the leader was very enthusiastic when he poured tea, so he decided to give the card. The female cadre drank tea, feeling very nervous and sweating all over her body. When she was leaving the house, she took out a card and put it on the coffee table. But she returned to the hotel.
She couldn't open the door, and when she looked carefully, she found that she was holding a shopping card. She didn't sleep well that night, and neither did her boss.
At a dinner party attended by the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, it was impossible for everyone to tell jokes like this, because everyone knew in their hearts that the entire process must be centered on the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, so the topic was quickly brought back by Secretary Liu.
Liu Ji said: "Will you reconsider showing up at tomorrow's meeting? You have always attached great importance to this area of work, and everyone would like to have the opportunity to communicate with you."
I guess Secretary Fang had originally arranged not to attend the meeting that Secretary Liu mentioned, but Liu Ji was in a better mood and the opportunity was brought up again.
Secretary Fang thought for a while and said, "Okay then, I will go meet with you tomorrow and emphasize a few issues again."
Next everyone went to toast the leaders. The dinner ended quickly.
Our team from Shangjiang City escorted Secretary Fang and the others outside the restaurant and to their car. Secretary Fang first went to Secretary Rong’s bedroom and said, “Secretary Xiao Rong, thank you. Your work tasks are very heavy next year.
A lot of work must be planned.”
Secretary Rong smiled and said: "Don't worry, Secretary Fang."
Secretary Fang immediately came to look at me and stretched out his hand towards me. I was flattered and took it. He shook my hand and immediately let go, "Xiao Feng, be more bold in your work and don't have any worries.
"
I said repeatedly: "Yes. I will cooperate with Secretary Haorong to do all our work well."
He immediately went to shake hands with us in Shangjiang City one by one, then got in the car and left. Secretary Rong went with us to see off several other leaders.
When the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee left, I saw Secretary Rong exhale secretly. I knew that she was actually more nervous and tired than me today. I asked her: "Secretary Rong, are you going to return home today?"
Go home, right?"
She nodded, "I will go back to Shangjiang during the day tomorrow, and there will be another activity in the evening. The day after tomorrow, we will invite the leaders of the provincial government together. Mayor Feng, what have you arranged in the past few days?"
I said: "Secretary Rong, I want to stay in the provincial capital in the past few days, mainly to visit several important departments in the province and the bank. Our tasks will be heavier next year, and what I need to do most now is
It’s about raising funds.”
She said: "Last time Mayor Wu came to talk to me about turning our project into a financial product. He told me that you also knew about this, right?"
I nodded, "Yes. I think that idea is still very good, as long as we can control the risks."
She said: "I have also thought about this issue, and I think it is indeed a good way to raise funds. Then you should go for it boldly. There is no need for the Standing Committee of the Listing Committee to do this. Your government will hold a meeting to pass it.
The question is, how much can we raise this way? Can all the money we need next year be raised this way?”
I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "At most, it's just funds for one or two projects. If it's more, banks won't accept it, and people won't buy so much. But in this way, our financial pressure will still be greatly reduced.
Part of my idea is to finance the historical and cultural street project and the Binjiang Road development project in this way. These are our two most important projects next year. As long as the funding problems of these two projects are solved
, then other issues will be relatively easy to handle. Moreover, once these two projects are successfully completed, our urban construction in Shangjiang City will also be on a scale. Secretary Rong, I haven’t fully thought about this matter yet.
So I haven’t had time to report to you yet.”
She looked at me, "Oh? From what you said, it seems that there are other projects that are equally important as these two, right?"
I nodded, "Yes, our river embankment maintenance project is an important project for us to create a city's river view, and this project must go first. In the past, we only considered this side of the city. The last on-site office meeting
When you proposed planning on both sides at the same time, I certainly think it is necessary. But in this case, our budget will more than double, because the land on the other side of the river needs to be renovated from scratch, and the embankment on the other side needs to be renovated from scratch.
It’s not a matter of repairs, it’s all new construction. The investment is not small.”
She sighed and said, "Yes. It is necessary to build the embankment first, and it is also necessary to renovate the land to be developed. In this way, the value of the land will not only double in the future."
I nodded, "Yes. It's just like the clothes in the store. Its price is several times that of the cloth. And whether we build embankments or renovate the land, the money invested is equivalent to the price at which the land may be sold in the future.
It’s not a concept at all.”
She immediately laughed, "The analogy you gave today is indeed very accurate and vivid. Our Shangjiang City is currently a golden mountain. What we lack now is the early investment funds. The day after tomorrow, we will invite Governor Wang, Huang
The governor complained to them again during the meal and asked them to support him."
I smiled and nodded: "I will do some work on the bank in advance. After all, banks also have to bear risks. If we simply use the administrative order from above to ask them to give us loans, they might be disgusted by it."
She nodded, "I agree with your idea. Then you should hurry up and do it. Mayor Feng, you should feel that Secretary Fang still thinks highly of you, so you should seize the opportunity."
I smiled bitterly and said: "Secretary Rong, as far as I know, if a person is truly valued by the leader, it does not necessarily mean that he is praised. In many cases, he is often criticized. Don't you think so?"
She looked at me in surprise, "You are quite sober. Many people would have been light-headed in your situation. But your situation is different. I can also feel that Secretary Fang does have a good impression of you. For example
Let's say that when he first arrived here today, the poem he read out was actually inspired by his feelings, but only you knew who wrote the poem, and you also interpreted the true connotation of the poem. You said
,Can Secretary Fang not be touched in his heart?"
I said embarrassedly: "Secretary Rong, I just happened to read that poem recently."
She smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, you don't need to be so cautious in front of me. I am not the kind of person who is jealous of talents. On the contrary, your performance today makes me very happy. I think Secretary Fang must be very happy too,
Because I heard that there was some resistance when it was proposed that you be the acting mayor of Shangjiang City. Some people said that you were too young and had insufficient work experience. But judging from the current situation, it shows that Secretary Fang’s vision of people is
Very unique. When he praised you today, he was actually telling those who had objections to your appointment that he was right. You should understand the truth, right?"
I looked at her in surprise, "I have never heard of this."
She smiled and continued: "That's not important. What's important is that you have been working very hard. To be honest, I am also very lucky because I have a down-to-earth mayor like you to cooperate with me. Mayor Feng
, let’s work hard together for several years to build our Shangjiang City into a brand new city, and hand over a satisfactory answer sheet to the people of the city, and to the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, so that we will not let down the people and the organization.
expectations for us.”
I smiled and said, "Secretary Rong, don't worry. First, I will carry out and complete every task assigned by the municipal party committee. Second, I will do everything possible to find ways to speed up the progress of our various projects in Shangjiang City. Rong
Secretary, you are very strong in all aspects, including your ability and your conduct. You will definitely have more room for development in the future. As for me, I will always follow you closely. I hope you don’t think that I am too capable."
Sometimes such flattery is also a necessity, at least it will not make her think that I am dangerous. In fact, it is also a way of showing weakness. Of course, the weakness I am showing at the moment is real and not to cover up my ambitions.
.I have no so-called ambition in the first place, how can I cover it up?
She smiled and said: "Why are you saying such things to me? Mayor Feng, you don't need to be cautious in front of me. Really. I know your concerns and thoughts. Secretary Fang asked you some questions today,
Are you worried that others will say you are pushy? What does this have to do with you? Secretary Fang is asking you, and you have to answer. Yes, you answered brilliantly. That is because of your knowledge structure and because you are good at it.
The result of thinking. There are so many talented people in the world today, but everyone’s talents are different. If others want to be jealous, can they be jealous? Haha! Mayor Feng, so, your worries and caution are
It’s not necessary. What do you think?”
I immediately understood that what she said to me was more of a statement than enlightenment. She was showing me that she could not be wary of me because of what happened today.
In fact, I also believe that she is not so narrow-minded, and I don’t believe that she will guard against me, because I pose no threat to her at all. In any case, she is the municipal party committee secretary, and I am currently only the acting mayor. But
But I had to be cautious, because after all, there was something about Secretary Chen ahead of me, and sometimes rumors can be very scary.
I said to her gratefully: "Secretary Rong, you are right. I have great weaknesses in my character, and I know this very well. I have always had one requirement for myself, and that is to
Live your life separately and try your best to do everything you can at the moment."
She nodded and said: "Yes, I understand this very well. Mayor Feng, I also know that you may have been more cautious because of Lao Chen's affairs. In fact, what does his matter have to do with you? At that time, you were just the general manager
Vice Mayor, even if you are the mayor, you can't possibly change his position. In fact, he was defeated by his own hands. Anyone with a discerning eye can see this clearly."
I sighed in my heart: That's what I said, but there are some things you don't know. I said to her gratefully: "Secretary Rong, thank you for your understanding. But I am thinking that in this officialdom, first of all, we must
Change the rules. You are the municipal party committee secretary, and I am your deputy. I will implement the instructions you give to the letter. If I have different opinions, I should communicate with you privately. In the end, your opinions will prevail.
This is the rule, not caution. Secretary Rong, don’t you think so?"
She immediately laughed, "You, you are so eloquent, I can't speak to you. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. In short, we just need to do our own things well. Today, Secretary Fang told us about work matters
There are not many instructions, but he is indeed very concerned about the development of our Shangjiang City. There is no doubt about this. Otherwise, he would not come to our dinner today. There are so many prefecture-level cities in the province, and they all want to
I invited him to dinner and wanted to report to him in person, but he couldn't meet them one by one. So, we have to work hard and achieve good results. Otherwise, we will not be able to see him in the future."
I thought to myself: This is indeed the case, but maybe this matter is not that simple? Of course, there are some things I cannot ask. I smiled and said: "I understand."
She looked at the time and said, "Okay, it's really cold outside. I'm going home first. You should also pay attention to rest."
I hurriedly said to her: "Okay. I'm going back to rest too. I'll go to several banks tomorrow."
She immediately went with me to say goodbye to our Shangjiang City People's Congress Director and CPPCC Chairman. While we were talking just now, everyone else entered the restaurant.
The first thing I did after returning home was to find "Historical Records" from the bookshelf and put it on the desk, ready to take a bath before reading it carefully. I had been thinking about this on the way back:
Why did Secretary Fang ask me to read "Historical Records" carefully, and also specifically mentioned to me the "Aristocratic Family" part of "Historical Records"?
I was thinking that after asking me two test questions, he should know that I have read the book "Historical Records". Does he also know that I have not studied it seriously? No, that can't be the case.
If that's the case, wouldn't he become a god?
After leaving the study room, the child ran to me. When I came back just now, he was in the toilet. Now that he saw me, he insisted on asking me to play with him. I said to the child: "Dad has something to do today. You
Play by yourself."
The mother said from the side: "This year is about to end, how many times have you been with him?"
I felt guilty, so I couldn't say anything more, so I had to put aside taking a bath and reading for the time being.
However, after I played with my child for a while, my cell phone suddenly rang. I picked it up and found that it was Lin Yu. I hurriedly left my child and went to the bedroom to answer the call.
Her voice said, "Feng Xiao, you Shangjiang City invited the leaders of the provincial party committee to dinner today, right? How is the situation?"
I thought to myself: It’s not surprising that she knows the news. Maybe she has been preparing to invite Secretary Fang in the past two days. But one thing I know is that it is not convenient for her to ask others about our meal today. Maybe she
She asked me what happened tonight because she cares about me, and maybe to find out some information that interests her.
I said, "Yes. I just finished my meal and came home not long ago. I invited Secretary Fang and the others to have a meal and reported to him on the work."
She smiled and asked me: "How is it? How does Secretary Fang evaluate your work? How does Secretary Fang evaluate you personally?"
I immediately understood: After all, I am her first-hand cadre, so she cares very much about Secretary Fang’s evaluation of me. In the final analysis, this means that both will gain and lose. I replied hastily: “Secretary Fang still thinks highly of our work.
Basically satisfied, we reported some work matters to him and also talked about some difficulties we are currently encountering. He was originally a little worried about our excessive investment in urban construction, but after Secretary Rong and
After my explanation, he felt relieved."
She smiled and said: "That's good. Then, he should be in a good mood today, right?"
I replied: "Yes, it looks pretty good. He recited a poem by Wang Anshi as soon as he arrived at our dining place today..."
Immediately, I briefly told her the questions that Secretary Fang asked me specifically today, and then asked her: "Sister, why do you think Secretary Fang wants me to read "Historical Records" seriously, and especially
What’s the part that emphasizes that I should study in aristocratic families?”
She pondered and said: "This...if we are in politics, it seems that we should read "Zi Zhi Tong Jian". Although "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" is as famous as "Historical Records", it has great influence on future generations.
The role of emperors and politicians seems to be greater. Since "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" was written, emperors, generals, ministers, literati, and dignitaries from all walks of life have been eager to read it. They have commented on the emperors and wise ministers who commented on "Zi Zhi Tong Jian"
, there are countless politicians, thinkers, and scholars from Confucianism to modern times. As a textbook for kings of all dynasties, Zizhi Tongjian is praised as such. Except for "Historical Records", almost no historical work can compare with "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".
"Zizhi Tongjian" is comparable to... Well, I think that when Secretary Fang asked you to read the book "Historical Records", he probably meant that you should start with "Historical Records" and then read in depth.
"Zi Zhi Tong Jian" right?"
I didn’t take it seriously, “Sister, why did he specifically ask me to read the part about the aristocratic family?”
She said: "Yes... "Historical Records" is divided into ten tables, eight books, twelve records, thirty aristocratic families, and seventy biographies. The 'Ben Ji' records the affairs of the emperors and describes the highest rulers in the past dynasties.
Political deeds are generally written in a chronological way; 'tables' are important events in various historical periods, which are the connection and supplement to the narrative of the whole book; 'books' respectively describe the development and development of astronomy, calendar, water conservancy, economy, culture, art, etc.
The current situation; 'Aristocratic Family' mainly describes the history of nobles and princes; 'Biography' mainly contains biographies of various types, different classes, and different professional figures, which also records the development history of foreign and domestic ethnic minorities. Let me think about it.
..... "Aristocratic family" records the affairs of the princes and kingdoms. Because the princes founded the country and inherited the family, their descendants were hereditary, so their biographies were called aristocratic families. Starting from the great feudalism in the Western Zhou Dynasty, it developed to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Each vassal state came to dominate one after another and flourished for a while. It is very appropriate to use the genre of "family" to describe this situation. Sima Qian also included Confucius and Chen She in the "family", which is an exception. Although Confucius was not a prince, he
However, he was the patriarch who inherited the culture of three generations. What's more, Confucianism was the dominant one during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Confucius was the founder of Confucianism. His inclusion in the "Aristocratic Family" also reflected the reality of the ideological field at that time. As for Chen She, not only was he the first to revolt and fall
The leader of the Qin Dynasty, he was the first person in three generations to raise an army against the brutal rule of the Qin Dynasty, and he was responsible for most of the princes and princes who destroyed the Qin Dynasty. Sima Qian included them in the "Aristocratic Family" and combined his achievements with those of Tang Dynasty.
Compared with Fang Jie, King Wu defeated Zhou, and Confucius wrote "Spring and Autumn", writing him as a great historical hero who shook the rule of the Qin Empire and dominated the situation reflects the author's progressive view of history. Well, I understand somewhat. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are not
Did you shout a slogan like "Princes, generals, would you rather have your own kind?"? Maybe Secretary Fang wants you to be more confident, not to feel inferior, and to work boldly. Feng Xiao, do you think he is like this?
mean?"
I suddenly felt that her analysis seemed to make some sense. I smiled bitterly and said, "Where do I have so many ideas?"
She smiled and said: "Isn't that right? You have no confidence at all. What you just said made this problem clear at once. Look at me, didn't I also come from a poor family? Now I have become a member of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee.
Minister? Therefore, a person should not feel inferior, but must build up his own confidence. This is the most important thing. Feng Xiao, congratulations. It seems that Secretary Fang loves you very much. This is great.
Yes! First, if you can gain his appreciation, at least he will not think that I am nepotistic in my employment. Second, if he really appreciates you, then maybe you can say a few nice words in front of him on behalf of my sister in the future.
.These are all good things? Do you think so?"
I hurriedly said: "Sister, don't say that, I still need your continued care."
She immediately said to me seriously: "Feng Xiao, although your current level is lower than mine, it is not much lower. I am a female cadre, and I did take a shortcut on the issue of promotion, because the higher-ups require that people in various places
There must be women in the team. This is my luck. But female cadres also have the shortcomings of female cadres. If you look at the situation across the country, the ones who really hold important power in the teams at all levels are still dominated by men. This is inherently a problem.
It’s a world dominated by men. So, if you are really appreciated by Secretary Fang, your future future will be limitless. Feng Xiao, you must cherish this opportunity, work hard, and be a low-key person.
This is very important. Do you understand?"
What she said was similar to what Lin Yi said to me, but I always felt something was wrong in my heart, because I knew myself, and I felt that my true level and ability simply could not meet the requirements of a higher position. To be honest, now
It's already a bit difficult for me to be the mayor.
But it was impossible for me to tell Lin Yu about this, because I knew that she still had great confidence in me. I said: "Sister, to be honest, I haven't thought that far yet. Now I just want to
Just do the job you are doing well."
She smiled and said: "You...well, that's not a bad idea. It's safer to go step by step."
I said: "That's not entirely true. Sister, my idea is very simple, just don't give yourself so many expectations. Isn't there a saying like this? The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment will be. So,
I think it’s better to be more practical and do the present well.”
She immediately laughed, "Feng Xiao, this is the first time I have met someone like you in the officialdom. Well, go read your "Historical Records" and study hard. Maybe next time Secretary Fang will meet you.
When you are ready, I will ask you questions."
After she hung up the phone, I immediately went to the study room, feeling as if I was completing my homework.
Later I realized that Lin Yu’s analysis was completely wrong. I was wrong too. In the final analysis, it was my lack of understanding, and Secretary Fang could only point out so much at that time.
