"Xiao Ma, I'm not telling you, you have to restrain your temper. If you show mercy to the woman during the blind date that day, you won't be beaten." Wu Qinghe kindly advised.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Brother Angkor is right, I will restrain my temper in the future and try not to cause trouble again."
After chatting for a few words, Ma Xiaoyao got up and left the office.
After leaving the office, Ma Xiaoyao sent several envelopes containing money to Kong Liang, Qin Yong and others, and explained that these were bonuses issued by the bureau.
Of course Kong Liang, Qin Yong and others were extremely happy, and other staff members were also extremely envious.
"Deputy Section Chief Ma, I'm treating you tonight, let's all get together." Kong Liang said with a smile.
"I'm just injured. I can't drink for the time being. You should go on your own." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "Be careful not to play too late at night. You have to go to work the next day." After a few words of warning, Ma Xiaoyao returned.
I sat down in my seat and started to process the backlog of documents these days.
"Ding ding ding..." The phone on the desk suddenly rang.
Ma Xiaoyao picked up the phone and said, "Hello?"
"Xiao Ma, come to my office now. I have something important to tell you." Director Ding Dawei's voice came from the microphone.
"Oh, okay, I'll be there right away." Ma Xiaoyao put down the phone, stood up and walked out of the Food Safety Department. After a while, Ma Xiaoyao arrived at the director's office.
"Xiao Ma, come and sit down." Ding Dawei greeted enthusiastically.
Ma Xiaoyao pulled up his chair and sat in front of his desk, and asked doubtfully: "Director Ding, what do you want from me?"
"As people get older, their memory fails. I actually forgot to tell you an important thing." Ding Dawei sighed.
Ma Xiaoyao blinked: "What's going on?"
"It's like this. A few days ago, Mayor Lin called and said he wanted to see you. I told Mayor Lin that you were injured and hospitalized and could not come to work for the time being. Mayor Lin told me to wait.
After you come to work, I will definitely ask you to see him." Ding Dawei said.
Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "Why does Mayor Lin want to see me?"
Ding Dawei shook his head and urged: "Mayor Lin didn't say, Xiaoma, hurry up and pack up and go see Mayor Lin. After so many days, I guess Mayor Lin is getting impatient."
"Hey, I'll go right away." Ma Xiaoyao nodded, stood up and was about to leave.
"Little horse." Ding Dawei shouted.
Ma Xiaoyao stopped and looked at Ding Dawei doubtfully: "Director Ding, is there anything else?"
Ding Dawei pondered for a moment: "Xiao Ma, be polite when talking to Mayor Lin, and don't cause trouble, remember?"
"I understand, Director Ding, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." Ma Xiaoyao nodded, turned and walked out of the office.
…
City Hall.
16th floor.
In the large office, Lin Haixiang leaned on the office chair, frowning slightly, thinking about things secretly.
"Mayor Lin." Secret Technique Bai Tao walked in: "There is a man named Ma Xiaoyao outside who wants to see you? He said you asked him to come?"
"Is Ma Xiaoyao here?" Lin Haixiang raised his eyebrows: "Let him in quickly."
"Yes." Bai Tao responded, turned around and left. After a while, Bai Tao led Ma Xiaoyao into the office.
Ma Xiaoyao walked a few steps to the desk and greeted Lin Haixiang in a respectful tone: "Hello, Mayor Lin." Ma Xiaoyao knew Lin Haixiang from seeing him on TV news.
Lin Haixiang looked Ma Xiaoyao up and down: "Are you Ma Xiaoyao?"
"Yes, I am Ma Xiaoyao." Ma Xiaoyao nodded hurriedly.
"Sit down, Bai Tao, and give Comrade Ma Xiaoyao a cup of tea." Lin Haixiang ordered.
Ma Xiaoyao walked over and sat on the chair, his back straight and his expression very serious.
At this time, Bai Tao came over and placed a cup of steaming tea on the table in front of Ma Xiaoyao.
"Okay, you have nothing to do here. You can go out first." Lin Haixiang waved to Bai Tao.
Bai Tao nodded, turned and left the office.
As soon as Bai Tao left, Ma Xiaoyao became even more nervous, and his whole nerves were tense.
"Don't be nervous, relax." Lin Haixiang smiled and said: "Comrade Ma Xiaoyao, I heard that you just joined the Health Bureau not long ago?"
"Yes, I have just been working for more than three months." Ma Xiaoyao nodded.
"After only three months of working in the Health Bureau, I became the deputy section chief. This kind of promotion speed is simply unprecedented." Lin Haixiang said in a calm tone.
Ma Xiaoyao was startled, thinking that Lin Haixiang had an opinion on the speed of his promotion, and hurriedly explained: "Well... Mayor Lin, I can become the deputy section chief because the bureau leaders appreciate it and make an exception for promotion. I..."
Lin Haixiang waved his hand: "Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything else. I have already asked. Although you have not been in the Health Bureau for a long time, you have made many extraordinary achievements. The leader of the Health Bureau promoted you as an exception."
Deputy Section Chief, I very much agree with this matter."
After hearing what Lin Haixiang said, Ma Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Haixiang talked a lot with Ma Xiaoyao. In addition to asking about work matters, he also told Ma Xiaoyao a lot about his experience as an official, which made Ma Xiaoyao understand a lot in an instant.
After chatting for more than an hour, Lin Haixiang asked Ma Xiaoyao to leave.
After Ma Xiaoyao left, Lin Haixiang nodded slightly: "The person recommended by Wang Aiqin is indeed good. This Ma Xiaoyao is a seedling worth cultivating... It's a pity that he is about to retire, otherwise he can really be cultivated and cultivated."
The reason why Lin Haixiang talked to Ma Xiaoyao was entirely because of Wang Aiqin. Lin Haixiang knew Wang Aiqin very well. Under normal circumstances, Wang Aiqin rarely praised a person, especially an official. But now Wang Aiqin was praising a health bureau.
Ma Xiaoyao was so complimentary, which immediately aroused great curiosity and interest in Lin Haixiang. In this way, Lin Haixiang came to talk to Ma Xiaoyao. After some conversation, Ma Xiaoyao's overall impression on Lin Haixiang was not bad. You know
Lin Haixiang has been in the officialdom for decades, what kind of talent has he not seen? It is indeed not easy for Ma Xiaoyao to be appreciated by Lin Haixiang.
…
On the way back to the health bureau, Ma Xiaoyao kept thinking about what Lin Haixiang had said to him. Lin Haixiang had been in the officialdom for decades, and the experience he accumulated was really worth it. Lin Haixiang said, as long as you do it
One thing, that is, you can be invincible in the officialdom. What is it? It is to gain the absolute trust of the people, that is, to win the hearts and minds of the people. Isn't there a saying that goes well? He who wins the hearts and minds of the people will win the world. As long as Ma Xiaoyao
If he can gain the strong support and trust of the people, his status in the officialdom will be unshakable. Of course, the premise is that Ma Xiaoyao cannot do anything that violates laws and disciplines.
Everyone can say the three words "win the hearts and minds of the people", but it is extremely difficult to actually stand up.
As the days passed, Ma Xiaoyao had completely integrated into the hodgepodge of officialdom. In addition to his serious and responsible work every day, he also had heart-to-heart talks with the staff of the Food Safety Department. Ma Xiaoyao knew one thing very well: it is not your ability that makes people afraid of you.
, making people completely convinced of you is the real skill.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The weather is getting colder, and half-sleeves, shorts, and sandals have all disappeared, replaced by long sleeves, trousers, and airtight shoes.
This afternoon.
Ma Xiaoyao sat on a chair, staring blankly at the fallen leaves on the ground outside the window, as if he had something on his mind.
At this moment, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.
Ma Xiaoyao came to his senses and reached out to grab the microphone: "Hello?"
"Deputy Section Chief Ma? I'm the guard Lao Liu." A man's voice came from the microphone.
"Oh, Lao Liu, what's the matter?" Ma Xiaoyao asked. The doorman Lao Liu is a sixty-year-old man who is very talkative. Usually when Ma Xiaoyao comes to work, he will say hello and chat with Lao Liu.
The relationship between people is pretty good.
"Deputy Section Chief Ma, someone is looking for you outside and says he is your friend." Old Liu said.
Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "My friend? Who is it?"
"The other party didn't say her name, she just said she was your friend. Oh, she is a woman and she is quite beautiful." Old Liu said with a smile.
"Woman?" Ma Xiaoyao was even more confused: "Okay, go out right away, and ask her to wait for a moment." Ma Xiaoyao hung up the phone, stood up and left the Food Safety Department.
When Ma Xiaoyao came to the gate and saw the woman who was looking for him, he was stunned. She turned out to be Wang Aiqin, the general manager of Tianhai Company.
"Deputy Section Chief Ma, are you surprised to see me?" Wang Aiqin said with a smile.
Ma Xiaoyao came back to his senses: "It's quite unexpected. Mr. Wang, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Must I have something to do to come to you? Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" Mr. Wang said dissatisfied.
"Ah... no, that's not what I meant..." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand hurriedly.
Seeing Ma Xiaoyao's panic, Wang Aiqin immediately laughed: "I'm here to discuss business, and I stopped by to see you. Deputy Section Chief Ma, are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner."
"Eat?" Ma Xiaoyao showed a trace of hesitation on his face: "This..."
"Deputy Section Chief Ma, you are not going to refuse, are you? I really want to treat you to dinner." Wang Aiqin said.
"No, no, I don't want to refuse..." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head.
"That means I agreed. Okay, I'll pick you up when you get off work. I won't disturb your work now. See you in the evening." After saying that, Wang Aiqin drove over in a Mercedes-Benz.
Ma Xiaoyao shook his head helplessly and turned around to go back to work.
At this time, the guard Lao Liu jumped over from the side and looked at Ma Xiaoyao with a smile: "Deputy Section Chief Ma, that...is your girlfriend just now?"
"What kind of girlfriend, Lao Liu, please don't talk nonsense, she and I are just friends, ordinary friends can no longer be ordinary friends!" Ma Xiaoyao said with a straight face.
"Hehe...Deputy Section Chief Ma, please don't fool me. I'm here, and I can tell at a glance that your relationship with that woman is unusual!" Old Liu chuckled and said, "Deputy Section Chief Ma, just tell the truth.
, I, Lao Liu, keep a tight mouth and will never leak secrets to you."
