This morning, when Shangguanqin agreed to go see those children with me, I no longer doubted what she said. But I still wondered in my heart: Could Tong Yao be wrong? Could she have made something out of nothing?
Seeing that I was silent, he immediately came to ask me: "Feng Xiao, what are you thinking about?"
I shook my head, "It's nothing. It's just that what you just said touched me a little."
He laughed "haha", "Everything is like this. As long as a person does something sincerely, it is a kind of touching in itself. By the way, Feng Xiao, I recently put some money in your account. Are you free?
Go check it out.”
I was suddenly stunned, "I don't need money. And your funds are so tight now."
He smiled and said: "Not much, just one million. That's what you deserve. Also, you are a man after all. What can you do if you don't have money? Men must always have money in their pockets to be more confident.
.Besides, you are still single now, and you will need money for dating and other things in the future."
At this moment, I blurted out the question that I especially wanted to ask him, because I really wanted to know why he did that. So, I immediately asked him: "Uncle Lin, why do you have to
You want me to marry Shangguanqin? You know that I don't like others forcing me. What's more, Xiaonan's matter... Now that I think of her, I feel very regretful. I always think about it, if she doesn't marry me
Otherwise, such a result may not occur.”
In fact, this can be regarded as me blaming him, because Chen Yuan and I were forced to get married by him. To this day, I still feel resentful about this matter in my heart.
After hearing what I said, he immediately sighed, "Feng Xiao, you are wrong. I did not force you, and I have never forced you before. The original situation was that it was impossible for you and Zhao Menglei, unless you
Wait for her all your life. Do you think that makes sense? Besides, Xiaonan also likes you so much. So, I just used that method to make you make up your mind. As for Zhao Menglei's suicide later, this was something I didn't expect.
Ah. Feng Xiao, I didn’t expect that you are still blaming me for that matter. Xiaonan’s matter... this is all God’s will. Tell me, isn’t it like this? "
To make me make up my mind in that way? I was stunned immediately. Then I heard him continue: "Feng Xiao, as for you asking me why I asked you to marry Shangguan Qin, you are also wrong about this matter.
I'm not asking you to marry her, I'm suggesting that you marry her. The reason is very simple, that is: I don't want to lose you."
I was immediately surprised, "What do you mean? How could you lose me?"
He looked at me kindly, "Why don't you understand what I mean? Feng Xiao, ever since I met you, I feel that you are a promising young man. And to be honest, I care about you and Huang very much."
The relationship between the provincial governor and Secretary-General Lin. You may not know much about the situation of our Jiangnan Group. In the past few years, our development relied entirely on the relationship with the main leaders in the province, but now leaders are being transferred too frequently. They used to have relationships with us.
After the leader was transferred, our development became very difficult. Later, after finally establishing a new relationship with Governor Huang through your relationship, the operation of the group gradually became normal. Feng Xiao,
Of course I had selfish motives for letting you marry Xiaonan at that time. It was beneficial both from the perspective of Xiaonan's happiness and the interests of the group. Unfortunately, she is gone now, so I still hope that you can become a woman with me.
A family. After all, Shangguan Qin is my assistant, and she listens to me very much. A family is always better at doing things than outsiders, right? I know that you have not alienated me because of Xiaonan's departure, but in my opinion you should
Do you understand? I believe that whether it is a family relationship or a relationship between friends, the most important thing is to maintain it. Xiaonan is no longer here, so how can I not worry about losing you one day? "
What he said was very emotional, and I was moved once again. What he said was very true, and it was true, without any falsehood. Because of this, I felt that his words were very true. I said:
"I understand. In fact, I have nothing worth choosing. With my conditions, Shangguan is such a good girl. Alas! In fact, I feel very sorry for her in my heart."
I'm telling the truth. Before last night, I had always tried my best to refuse this matter because I didn't want to be forced. But since last night, I discovered that Shangguanqin actually made the greatest sacrifice.
My life is so chaotic, and she was still a virgin, and she dedicated herself to me like that. I can't completely believe that she has feelings for me, but I can definitely believe that she did everything for Jiangnan.
Group, for Lin Yi. There is no need to have any doubts about this.
Therefore, I suddenly felt a pain in my heart at this moment because of Shangguanqin's kind of dedication and sacrifice.
Lin Yi looked at me, his eyes full of softness, "As long as you understand. In fact, Shangguan Qin and I are the same, and I hope you are too. Our goals should be the same, both for Jiangnan Group, for us to be able to
Help more people in the future. Although this ideal is not great, it is very realistic. Do you think it is?"
I nodded, "I think your ideal is great. So I will try my best to do everything you ask me to do in the future."
He immediately became happy and said, "That's great. If I have nothing to do in the afternoon, I really want to have a few drinks with you. Let's go for a few drinks together in the evening. I'll invite you, no, you will.
How about Shangguanqin?"
I suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said, "You have the final say."
He was even happier.
Immediately, he asked me: "I heard that Secretary Lin will soon be transferred to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee as executive deputy director. Have you heard about this news?"
I nodded, "Yeah. Actually, her arrangement is not good."
He nodded, "Yes. Sometimes things in official circles are really hard to say. It's a pity for Governor Huang. It's impossible to be promoted to full-time this time. But fortunately, after all, he kept his position as deputy governor.
Long seats.”
I asked: "Is it the result of considering the balance above?"
He nodded, "That's right. The art of officialdom is to maintain balance. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. This is the case with the official setup of any place. It is just that we cannot let any level of government or institution become a monolith that cannot be poured into water.
There is a vivid saying called "mixing sand" which actually refers to the issue of balance. For example, in your hospital, some of your deputies must be dissatisfied with you. That is not a problem with the deputies themselves, but because your superiors intentionally do that.
Arranged. This is called "mixing sand". The organization also euphemistically calls it that only with struggle can there be vitality, so as not to become a stagnant pool. In fact, this kind of arrangement is somewhat similar to the meaning of the catfish effect. Regardless of the organization
Both the department and our company should learn to use the principle of the catfish effect, which is an important aspect of psychological management."
I nodded, because I knew this term. It is said that when Norwegians catch sardines, if the fish is still alive when it arrives in Hong Kong, the selling price will be much higher, so the fishermen try their best to get the fish back to Hong Kong alive. But all efforts have failed.
There was only one ship, but it could always return to the harbor with live sardines. It was not until the captain of this ship died that people discovered the secret: a catfish was put into the fish tank. It turned out that after the catfish was put into the tank, it
The environment is unfamiliar, so they will naturally swim around and stir up trouble everywhere. When a large number of sardines find that there is an "alien", they will naturally become nervous and speed up the flow. In this way, one by one the lively sardines are transported back to the fishing port.
Later, people called this phenomenon the catfish effect.
I said to him: "Can you tell me more specifically? If you have time now."
He looked at the time, "It only takes a few minutes... Haha! It seems that you know this concept, so I won't say more. But there is another principle in management, and that is the 'minnow effect'. You should
Haven’t you heard of it?”
I shook my head, "No."
He immediately said: "The minnow effect, also known as the head fish theory, is one of the classic theorems of management at the leadership level. Minnows often live in groups because they are weak, and the strong one is the natural leader. German zoologist Hoss
In his experiments, he discovered that if the part of the back of a strong leader minnow's head that controls behavior is cut off, the fish will lose its self-control and move disorderly, but other minnows will still follow blindly as before. This kind of
The characteristic of collective disorder caused by qualitative thinking and inertial behavior is the minnow effect that is often mentioned in business management. The minnow effect is a strange phenomenon in nature. Minnows are a kind of fish that like to swim in groups.
During the process, the overall direction of the fish school is based on the big fish swimming in front. Queuing information transmission is the key to keeping the fish school from being scattered. Modern management scientists use the minnow effect to explain the characteristics of groups within an organization.
Characteristics of qualitative thinking and inertial behavior. Groups with the minnow effect are beneficial to the stability and predictability of the organization. However, qualitative thinking and inertial behavior are the most stubborn enemies of innovation and progress. The characteristics of the minnow effect are important for the stability and predictability of the organization.
To the subordinates, the leader is like the leader of the minnows, leading the subordinates forward; but to the leader's superiors, the leader is like a group of small minnows led by the leader of the minnows. A group of minnows that are as blind and at a loss as to what to do,
Leaders who never admit that they are minnows will trust experience and intuition more. This kind of stubborn attitude and behavior often occurs in companies or organizations, and leaders will often fall into the quagmire of inertial thinking. As human beings
A deep-rooted habit, habitual thinking is like the invisible protective clothing we wear. While protecting ourselves from external threats and changes, it also obscures our own vision and true thoughts. Habitual thinking psychology makes leaders lose their ability.
It is an opportunity to review whether the thinking behind your own ideas is correct. Therefore, as a leader, you should be careful not to fall into the quagmire of inertial thinking. People who do not have long-term concerns must have short-term worries. This sentence also applies to today's leaders. In
In this competitive era of the jungle, everything is changing rapidly. No leader can guarantee that he will be invincible at all times. A leader cannot survive without a sense of urgency. Only by being prepared for danger in times of peace and taking precautions can it be considered a wise move. Excellent.
Leaders should have the courage to challenge themselves, defeat their opponents and become strong.”
I seemed to understand, "This issue seems to have been the issue that Governor Huang was most worried about you in the past. Isn't that right?"
He nodded, "Yes. It was only later that I understood the real purpose of him asking me that question. He used to be an expert in a university. Although he later became a leader, he still paid attention to theoretical things. Later I
After pondering for a long time, it turned out that he was trying to warn me not to take my business in another direction. In fact, I paid close attention to this issue and understood his concerns. Because many companies are now taking the lead without paying attention.
I went on a gangland-type road. Employees of enterprises are more likely to follow blindly than cadres of party and government agencies, and are more likely to go astray. Therefore, Governor Huang asked me that question with good intentions."
I nodded and said, "The question is, does he know that you understood what he meant?"
He laughed "haha", "We attended a cocktail party together recently. When I met him, I said a few words: the minnow effect. Thank you for the leader's reminder. He became happy at that time, and he said to me: You still
He is a smart man."
I suddenly realized, "You were actually not sure whether your understanding was correct at the time, so you asked me to test him, right?"
He laughed, "You can be considered a smart man. Okay, are you full? Then let's go. There are still many things to deal with in the afternoon."
I said, "I've been busy lately."
He nodded and said: "Let's have a few drinks tonight. Let's put aside other things. A family should always be together. Nothing is more important than family ties. Xiao Nan is gone, but we should always be a family."
