The method is a good one, but unfortunately it is too difficult to implement. Hua Dekai and others simply do not take Li Ming seriously.
"What should I do to win over Hua Dekai and others?" Li Ming's brows slowly wrinkled.
"Jingle Bell……"
The phone on his desk suddenly rang, and the rapid ringing directly interrupted Li Ming's thoughts.
Li Ming frowned and reached out to pick up the phone: "Hello? Who is this?"
"It's me!" Li Yongchang's unique voice came from the microphone.
"Dad?" Li Ming was stunned for a moment: "Why did you remember to call me? Do you have anything to do with me?"
"Listen, in two days, the city will parachute a cadre to Dongcheng County to serve as the deputy county magistrate and also serve as a standing committee member of the county committee," Li Yongchang said.
Li Ming's eyes lit up: "Is this airborne deputy county magistrate one of yours?"
"No." Li Yongchang said solemnly.
"Ah?" Li Ming was stunned: "If he's not yours, then he's Liu Yuncai's?"
"Not from Liu Yuncai." Li Yongchang shook his head.
Li Ming was completely confused: "It's neither yours nor Liu Yuncai's, so who is it?"
"No one belongs to anyone!" Li Yongchang explained: "The man who parachuted into Dongcheng County is called Wei Guofeng. He is in his early forties and is the deputy director of the Social Security Bureau. Wei Guofeng has been an official for so many years and has always maintained neutrality and maintained a neutral relationship with all municipalities.
Leaders all keep a certain distance. It can be said that this Wei Guofeng is an outlier in officialdom."
Li Ming's mouth twitched: "Since this Wei Guofeng is not yours, why did you agree to let him come to Dongcheng County to be the deputy county magistrate?"
"This is also a helpless move." Li Yongchang sighed: "I want to appoint one of my own people to be the deputy county magistrate of Dongcheng County, but Liu Yuncai doesn't agree. Liu Yuncai and I have been arguing for a month, but there is still no result. In the end, there is really no way.
Now, we can only appoint a neutral person to Dongcheng County... But you don’t have to worry. Even if Wei Guofeng takes up a post in Dongcheng County, he will not embarrass you. As long as you show enough sincerity, Wei Guofeng may still support you.
Yours, the key depends on how you operate it."
Li Ming nodded: "I understand, I will do my best to recruit Wei Guofeng."
"Li Ming, if you can recruit Wei Guofeng into your camp, then you will shame me and let me vent my anger in front of Liu Yuncai." Li Yongchang said with hope, Li Yongchang and Liu Yuncai have been
They were competing in secret. If Li Ming had the ability to recruit Wei Guofeng into his camp, it would be like a slap in the face to Liu Yuncai.
"Dad, don't worry, I won't let you down!" Although Li Ming said something nice, he was actually a little worried in his heart. He really didn't have much confidence in recruiting Wei Guofeng, but in order not to disappoint Li Yongchang
, Li Ming had to pretend to be confident again.
This is officialdom, even between father and son, there is still need to play tricks.
No matter what kind of relationship it is, as long as there is a conflict of interests, no matter how close the relationship is, it will deteriorate and change its flavor.
"Well, I'm waiting for your good news." Li Yongchang smiled and said, "Okay, let's stop talking about it. I'll call you when I have time." After saying that, Li Yongchang wanted to end the call.
"Wait!" Li Ming shouted hurriedly: "Dad, I still have something to do..."
"What's the matter?" Li Yongchang asked doubtfully.
"Then what, Dad...can you take some time to come to Dongcheng County recently?" Li Ming said hesitantly.
"Going to Dongcheng County? Well, what are you asking me to do in Dongcheng County?" Li Yongchang asked doubtfully.
Li Ming licked his lips: "It's like this... Recently, many cadres have been cold and indifferent to me, which makes it difficult for me to carry out my work..."
"You want me to go to Dongcheng County to support you?" Li Yongchang understood immediately.
"Well, I have this idea..." Li Ming said sheepishly: "At the same time, I also miss you..."
"Hmph!" Li Yongchang snorted softly: "If you really miss me, won't you come to the city to see me?"
"I've been very busy with work recently and really can't spare any time," Li Ming said.
"Are you busy at work? Am I not busy at work?" Li Yongchang said coldly.
"Dad, I..." Li Ming just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Li Yongchang.
"Alas..." Li Yongchang sighed: "I really don't understand how someone as smart as me, Li Yongchang, could give birth to such an unsatisfactory son like you... Forget it, I'll just help you once. After two years
I will go to Dongcheng County tomorrow."
Hearing that Li Yongchang agreed, Li Ming was immediately overjoyed: "Dad, I knew you loved me the most."
"You are my son, can I not love you?" Li Yongchang paused at this point: "Well, Li Ming, there is something I want to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" Li Ming was in a good mood and his tone of voice became much more relaxed.
"Look...your mother has been dead for so many years, and I have been single..." Li Yongchang said hesitantly: "Someone tried to match me recently..."
"Matchmaker?" Li Ming was stunned: "Dad, do you plan to find another one?"
"Recently, I obviously feel that my health is not as good as before, and I need a caring person to take care of me." Li Yongchang sighed.
Li Ming frowned, then relaxed: "Dad, you can find it, I have no objection."
"Really?" Li Yongchang thought he heard wrongly.
"I really have no objection. Since my mother passed away, you have been living alone. It's really lonely." Li Ming said, "Dad, you can go find it. I have no objection!"
"Okay, okay, with your words, I feel relieved." Li Yongchang laughed.
The father and son chatted for a while and then ended the call.
…
Two days later.
The city parachuted a deputy county magistrate to Dongcheng County. He was a middle-aged man named Wei Guofeng. He was not tall, but he looked very imposing and spoke with a rich voice.
The Dongcheng County Party Committee and County Government extended a warm welcome to Wei Guofeng's arrival. In the evening, they even arranged a banquet in the hotel to welcome Wei Guofeng. The food and drinks were very ordinary and did not cost much money.
After Wei Guofeng took office, he behaved very low-key and was polite to everyone. When he spoke, he always had a smile on his face.
Cheng Wenyong and Ma Xiaoyao had long received the news and knew that Wei Guofeng was a centrist and was not close to Mayor Li Yongchang. He also kept a certain distance from the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Liu Yuncai and was a solid centrist.
After knowing that Wei Guofeng was a neutral faction, Cheng Wenyong and Ma Xiaoyao thought that this was a good opportunity and they must find a way to draw Wei Guofeng into their camp.
On the first day, Cheng Wenyong personally talked to Wei Guofeng, hinting at Wei Guofeng and hoping that Wei Guofeng would join Cheng Wenyong's camp. What he didn't expect was that Wei Guofeng deliberately pretended to be confused and pretended not to understand what Cheng Wenyong said.
Cheng Wenyong's recruitment failed.
The next day, Ma Xiaoyao came out.
Inside the spacious office.
Ma Xiaoyao and Wei Guofeng were sitting on the sofa, chatting with each other, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
"Deputy County Magistrate Wei, I don't know why, from the first moment I saw you, I felt particularly cordial." Ma Xiaoyao sighed.
"When I met Deputy County Magistrate Ma, I felt very friendly." Wei Guofeng said with a smile.
"Really!" Ma Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows: "It seems that we are really destined... Deputy County Magistrate Wei, I wonder what your plans are for your future work?"
Wei Guofeng smiled slightly: "The plan is very simple. Work hard, do more practical things for the people, and don't let down the trust of your superiors." At this point, Wei Guofeng paused: "Deputy County Magistrate Ma, I have been visiting Dongcheng County these two days.
I have heard a lot of rumors about you in many places."
"Oh? What are the rumors?" Ma Xiaoyao asked curiously.
"Well... basically they all praise you." Wei Guofeng said with a smile: "I praise you for your wholeheartedness in doing practical things for the people. Ever since you came to Dongcheng County, Dongcheng County has undergone earth-shaking changes. Roads have been repaired and there have been more businesses.
The people's work problems have been solved, their incomes have increased, and the more days they have, the better... Before I go anywhere, I hear many people praising you, saying that you are a rare good official, and you can come to Dongcheng County
Being the deputy county magistrate is simply a blessing for the people of Dongcheng County..."
Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "That's an exaggeration, a bit exaggerated... I'm not that good."
"Deputy County Magistrate Ma is so humble." Wei Guofeng said with a smile.
Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "I'm not humble. I told the truth. I just did what I should do. It's not worth showing off at all, let alone being praised."
"That's a good saying, 'You did what you should do', Deputy County Magistrate Ma, Wei Guofeng rarely admires people, but today, I have to say: I admire you a little, and you deserve my admiration!" Wei Guofeng said.
"You're flattered." Ma Xiaoyao smiled.
Wei Guofeng pondered for a moment: "Deputy County Magistrate Ma, I know why you are looking for me. You just want me to support you and join your camp... Although I admire you, I will not join your camp.
"
"Why?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"I don't like disputes. I just want to work safely." Wei Guofeng looked directly into Ma Xiaoyao's eyes and said slowly: "But you can rest assured that although I will not support you, I will not support others either."
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "I understand."
"It's getting late. I have to go back to work. Let's talk when we have time." After saying that, Wei Guofeng stood up and left the office.
Looking at Wei Guofeng's leaving figure, Ma Xiaoyao twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and said to himself: "This Wei Guofeng has a lot of personality."
In the following time, Li Ming talked to Wei Guofeng again. The purpose was the same as Ma Xiaoyao, and he also wanted to recruit Wei Guofeng. However, Wei Guofeng politely refused. However, Li Ming did not give up. He took the initiative to invite Wei Guofeng to dinner every now and then. Out of favor,
Wei Guofeng was too embarrassed to refuse, but eating was a meal, but Wei Guofeng would never turn to Li Ming.
