He suddenly stopped talking. Instead, I became anxious and said, "Old director, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. You don't know who I am? I won't talk about some things. Don't worry.
alright."
He said: "Director Liang told me about this matter in private. He hoped that I could mention something to him in front of you, because he felt that he could be the deputy director this time. So I thought of his idea.
Classmate, if she helps us this time, if she makes such a request to you, will you be able to refuse easily?"
I didn't expect such a thing to happen, so I couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Old director, I said, such a thing is not something I can say at all. Also, why does Director Liang think he has hope?
"
The old director said: "His classmate is the office director of the Beijing Office, and he often contacts the leaders of the province. Isn't this kind of thing too difficult?"
I thought to myself: If it is so simple, why would she come to me for her own affairs? I said: "So, my opinion will have no effect."
The old director looked at me and said, "Director Feng, tell the truth, if Director Liang is appointed as deputy director, do you think he is qualified?"
I was startled for a moment, and then replied: "It's not up to me to decide whether he is qualified or not. Now that he is the director of the department, I think he is still very qualified as the director of the department. However, among the deputy director-level cadres recruited by our province, none of them are qualified.
There are quite a few, such as Man Jiangnan, he is also very good. Do you think so?"
He smiled faintly and then asked me: "Director Feng, let me ask you again. If you were asked to choose one of Xiaoman and Xiaoliang to be the deputy director, who would you choose?"
I was immediately surprised, because I felt that something was wrong with the old director today, so I immediately asked him: "Old director, have you heard any news? Or maybe someone will treat you when you go back to Jiangnan this time.
What exactly were discussed?”
He shook his head and said: "I have already retired. Who would say such a thing to me? Now it seems that even you are not completely clear about this matter. How can I know so much? But we
The Provincial Admissions Office is a department under the dual jurisdiction of the Provincial Government and the Provincial Education Commission. The Provincial Education Commission does not have much say in personnel matters. Therefore, the appointment of the deputy director must be decided by the deputy governor in charge after seeking your opinion.
This was the case before. Ke Xiangnan and Shang Longxing asked for my opinion before they took office as the deputy governor in charge. Although it was just a formality, it still depends on how you weigh this matter at the time."
I seemed to understand, "You mean, I actually have a say in the selection of the deputy director?"
He nodded, "Of course. But it depends on the situation. For example, whether the deputy governor in charge already has a candidate in mind. It's very simple for you to figure it out. I don't need to say more. If the deputy governor in charge has
The provincial governor has no chosen candidate, so the decision-making power almost entirely rests with you."
I said disapprovingly: "It's impossible for me not to seek the opinions of the Provincial Education Commission at all, right? After all, the Provincial Education Commission is also our superior department."
He laughed "haha" and said: "Provincial Education Commission? If you want to listen to them, just listen to them. If you don't want to listen, what will they do to you? It's not like they have the final say in your appointment. Of course, they have to allocate funds for provincial recruitment.
Part of it, but do they dare not to allocate funds to you? The provincial finance has been clearly divided when making plans. Leave them alone! Those people from the Provincial Education Commission are the most troublesome, they want to interfere in everything, you give them
If they don't have any dignity, they will take advantage of it."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart: No wonder Secretary Luo doesn't like you, it turns out that's the case. But I think it's okay to think about problems according to his way of thinking sometimes, such as the decoration project of our entertainment center.
But now I don’t want to discuss such things with him in detail, because such things are too complicated. I said: "Old director, you have said so much, but I still don’t know what kind of meaning you want to express.
Woolen cloth."
He picked up the wine glass and said to me: "Drink."
I drank it. He looked at me and smiled, "You haven't answered my previous question yet. If it's Xiaoman or Xiaoliang, who do you choose?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "Old director, aren't you making things difficult for me? Both of them are excellent, how do you want me to choose? What's more, such an assumption is meaningless. In fact, such a situation will never happen at all."
He shook his head and said: "The Provincial Admissions Office is still short of a deputy director, and the higher ups are also preparing to complete your team, either by transferring someone from outside, or by promoting someone from within the Provincial Admissions Office. If someone is transferred from outside, it won't be possible."
I said it, but if you are promoted from within us, you will definitely be asked to select a few people as pre-selection candidates, right? Then if you want to select, you should definitely include Xiaoliang and Xiaoman, right? Because they are recruited in our province
He is the best among the division directors, and you might choose one more. So what’s the next step? If the deputy governor in charge asks you to choose another one from among them, how would you choose? So, in such a situation
It’s definitely possible.”
I couldn't help but shake my head, "Old director, let's talk about this later. I don't have the heart to think about such a problem right now. What if someone is transferred in from outside?"
He immediately laughed and said, "You are avoiding the problem. I think it is better for you to think about some things first and prepare for a rainy day."
Now I felt that I basically understood his intention today, so I asked him with a smile: "Old director, please tell me, who is the candidate in your mind?"
He said: "I was originally unwilling to intervene in this matter, but after all, I have worked in the provincial recruitment office for so many years. Xiaoliang and Xiaoman are both cadres I promoted, and I know them best. To be honest, they
Both of them are very good, but in comparison, Xiaoman is more loyal to people, and Xiaoliang is much more flexible at work. But I am most worried about Xiaoliang, because I have heard more than once that he accepts property from candidates’ parents.
It's something that happened, it's very easy for such cadres to get into trouble in the future."
It seems that the old director is leaning towards Man Jiangnan, and maybe Man Jiangnan has gone his way. I thought to myself.
None of these people came to me, and Director Liang never told me such things even when he was with me. I was not surprised by this. Because I had just arrived at the Provincial Admissions Office, and these people under my command still treated me very little.
They don’t understand me, and it’s precisely because they don’t understand me that they dare not come to me. I don’t know if they are afraid of me or in awe.
I said: "Old director, I understand what you mean. Let's discuss this matter later."
This is actually a promise I made to him in disguise.
At this moment, I was thinking in my heart: If I really had to choose, I might really choose Manjiangnan. As the old director said, because he is more loyal.
I have already understood this aspect of Manjiangnan. For a leader, the loyalty of his subordinates may be more important than anything else.
Of course, Director Liang is a very good person. At least he is very capable and obedient. However, I am a little disgusted with his classmate relationship with Wu Shuang. Therefore, I do not want to have any problems with Wu Shuang in the future.
Any dispute. Although I clearly know that this is very unfair to Director Liang, I can't help but think that way.
Let’s talk about it later... This is my best choice at the moment. (To be continued)
