Zhang Lin smiled lightly: "Conflicts are all caused by interests. When Lao Xu and Lao Tang fought, it was natural that both sides touched each other's interests. During Minister Tang's tenure as Propaganda Minister, he cultivated many of his own people in the propaganda system. After leaving,
, and want to continue to use these people to maintain their power and influence in the propaganda system.
Minister Xu was a hot-blooded man. After landing in Jiangzhou, he was obsessed with political achievements and establishing his own prestige in the propaganda system. These people naturally became his stumbling blocks. Since they were stumbling blocks, he had to remove them one by one. From Ma
This can be seen from the fall of self-employment to Wenyuan's delay in correcting the situation, to He Bi's fight to the end this time."
Ye Xinyi looked at Zhang Lin: "You can see clearly from the outside."
Zhang Lin laughed: "Onlookers are wise. In fact, not only I can see this, but many outsiders can also feel it."
"for example……"
"For example, Secretary Lian."
"What is Secretary Lian's attitude towards the fight between the two of them?"
"On the surface it's neutral."
"On the surface? What about reality?"
"Actually, although Secretary Lian didn't say it directly, I have an intuition that Secretary Lian is leaning toward Minister Xu."
"Why do you have this intuition?"
"Because of my understanding of Secretary Lian's character and work, he has been secretly dissatisfied with Minister Tang's behavior of forming cliques and private parties in Jiangzhou officialdom over the years. Minister Xu, relatively speaking, is more upright than Minister Tang.
Some."
Ye Xinyi thought for a while and felt that Zhang Lin's words made sense.
"Indeed, Minister Tang's tentacles have been extended too far. He no longer serves as the Minister of Propaganda, but he is still messing with the propaganda system in various high-profile names. This will naturally arouse Minister Xu's strong resentment and backlash. In this way, Xu
The minister's handling of He Bi this time also sent a warning signal to Minister Tang."
Zhang Lin shook her head: "Xinyi, you think too simply. Minister Xu is not just giving a warning, but seizing every available opportunity to eradicate Minister Tang's power in the propaganda system step by step. From my observation
Look, Minister Xu is a very calculating person. On the one hand, he is trying to eliminate Minister Tang’s influence in the propaganda system, and on the other hand, he is constantly expanding his circle of cronies and supporting his own people. From now on, Yuan
Dezhi, you and Qiao Liang are both his confidants."
"Me?" Ye Xinyi was stunned for a moment and shook her head, "I am different from Yuan Lizhi and Qiao Liang. I am just doing what I should do according to my own principles. I cannot be regarded as Minister Xu's confidant. Moreover, Minister Xu treats me
His trust does not seem to reach the level of Qiao Liang."
Zhang Lin smiled: "Silly Xinyi, you don't need to do anything to become Minister Xu's confidant. The reason why he re-employs you is because of your integrity and openness in doing things. You become Minister Xu's confidant.
Unknowingly, his trust in you is actually no less than Qiao Liang's, but the angle and method are different."
"Unknowingly..." Ye Xinyi was a little confused.
"Yes, maybe you don't realize it clearly yourself, but in the eyes of outsiders, you are definitely Minister Xu's confidant and have boarded his boat."
"Why?" Ye Xinyi murmured.
Zhang Lin said simply: "Just because he places great importance on you, sometimes in official circles, you can't decide whether you are the person around the leader or not."
Ye Xinyi frowned and looked at Zhang Lin. Zhang Lin further said: "In the officialdom, if you want to make progress, you must do the things assigned by the leader and obey the arrangements and will of the leader. When you do better and better, the leader will
Naturally, you will be appreciated and reused, naturally you will be grateful to the leader, and naturally your relationship with the leader will become closer and closer. In this way, before you know it, you will become one of the leader’s.”
Ye Xinyi nodded: "It seems that what you said makes sense."
"Actually, it's not a bad thing to be a close confidant of the leader. It's easy to rest against a big tree. These days, in the officialdom, there is no backer and you can only rely on your ability. It's difficult to move up. Although you are very capable of doing things, if you don't
I'm afraid people's support and guidance can only go so far." Zhang Lin warned.
Ye Xinyi laughed: "So, I was transferred from the newspaper office to the ministry as soon as I was promoted to deputy director. It was because I met a noble person like Minister Xu."
"It's hard to say whether you are a noble person or not, but at least you are Bole. Minister Xu places great emphasis on you because of your ability. This is somewhat different from Qiao Liang."
"What's the difference?"
"In addition to being shrewd and capable, Qiao Liang is also very loyal. I can clearly feel it from his performance on Li Youwei. I think what Minister Xu values most is Qiao Liang, and this
, although it has the atmosphere of the world, it is something that many people in the officialdom lack."
Ye Xinyi nodded, then frowned: "Qiao Liang is actually quite evil."
"Although it's evil, it's also very righteous. It's evil but it's righteous." Zhang Lin said.
"Evil yet righteous..." Ye Xinyi murmured, "Is there anything righteous about this guy?"
"Yes, for example he saved you, for example he saved me."
"When did he save you?" Ye Xinyi was a little surprised.
Zhang Lin told the story of the time she went to Qiaoliang, Beijing, and found that the car had been tampered with.
After hearing this, Ye Xinyi nodded: "So, you became friends with him out of gratitude and told him about our relationship."
"Actually, before this incident, when I investigated him, I had a good impression of Qiao Liang. Although his refusal to cooperate made me angry, I really felt that this guy was a tough guy with love and justice. As a man in the officialdom
, this is very rare." Zhang Lin paused, "Actually, that night in Songbei, I not only told Qiao Liang about our relationship, but also told him everything about you and Ning Hailong."
"Ah!" Ye Xinyi was startled, "Are you crazy? Why are you telling him this?"
Zhang Lin said calmly: "First, to eliminate his suspicion of you and me colluding with him. Second, I think you and him should be able to become friends."
"That's impossible. It would be nice to be a good colleague." Ye Xinyi shook her head, "Although Qiao Liang saved me, and although I am very grateful to him, it is obviously impossible for me to be friends with him."
"Is it because of the rivalry and estrangement that arose due to the relationship between Li Youwei and Wen Yuan when you were in the newspaper office?"
Ye Xinyi shook her head subconsciously.
"Then why?" Zhang Lin was curious.
"This... no, it's nothing." Ye Xinyi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She couldn't tell Zhang Lin what Qiao Liang did to her that night. It was too embarrassing.
Seeing Ye Xinyi like this, Zhang Lin blinked and couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Ye Xinyi was afraid that Zhang Lin would continue to ask questions, so she quickly changed the subject: "Have you been doing well in the workplace recently?"
Zhang Lin snorted: "Good luck, Zhao Xiaolan and I had a falling out because of Ma Ziying's matter. For some unknown reason, this woman suddenly intervened in Ma Ziying's case and insisted that I close the case. If I didn't comply, she would
The outburst made me feel empty, and I have been very leisurely recently."
"Is it because of Minister Tang that Zhao Xiaolan intervened in Ma Ziying's case?" Ye Xinyi asked.
