Kang Demao once said to me that one of the jobs of a secretary is to stand in the way and choose from the things that subordinates come to the leader for, which should be reported to the leader and which should not. Therefore, the position of secretary is very important, but in important situations
At the same time, it is easy to offend others. If you follow the right leader, everything will go smoothly, but if you follow the wrong leader, you may be in trouble.
Now I feel that I was absolutely right to refuse Governor Huang's offer. At least now I won't worry about such things, at least I am free.
When I finished the call, the old director was turning around from the front passenger seat to look at the map with Ke Xiangnan. I immediately laughed, "How inconvenient is it to see like this? Let's go to the living area in front and sit down and read slowly. Let's
You can pre-select some places first, and then use this as a condition for negotiation with the other party - if the conditions of the high-rise building are too high, we will change the place. Old director, we should be a little more high-profile about this matter, after all, our project is very important to the local people.
It has a relatively large impact in all aspects.”
The old director said: "It makes sense. Xiao Sui, please stop in the living area in front."
When the car got off the living area, I received a text message from Secretary He. She told me in the text message that Governor He's opinion was to wait until we selected the location first.
I suddenly had mixed feelings in my heart.
The old director understood Governor He's decision very well. He said: "This is what leaders are like. They won't speak easily about things they are not sure of. Come on, let's take a look at the map first."
Ke Xiangnan smiled and said: "Leaders are different. They are far-sighted and have a commanding position."
I found that he has indeed changed a lot recently. Not only does he talk more, but he also considers my feelings in everything. In the final analysis, it is still the same sentence: Under normal circumstances, a deputy will not fight against a leader.
, unless the two people have a fundamental conflict of interest. In fact, in the final analysis, what Ke Xiangnan did before was for one purpose - to gain the rights he deserved.
This may be the truth that Lin Yu once talked about to me: balance. You must give others the power that should be given, and the check and balance of power is the most important.
At this time, the old director smiled and said: "People who are leaders are different. The higher the level, the perspective of thinking about problems is different. By the way, there is a joke about the leader's interpretation of Chinese characters. Let me tell you.
Listen - the leader wrote the word "zhong" for mass and asked his subordinates how to interpret this word. The subordinates said, unite as one or play mahjong without one. The leader said, wrong, it should be that even though there are only three people, there are only three people.
It can mean that one person is superior; the leader wrote the word "obedience" in "obedience" and asked the subordinates what it meant. The subordinates said that the two of them are of the same mind and are inseparable. The leader said, wrong, it should be that even if there are only two people, they should be given priority.
Later, the leader wrote the word "合" for cooperation and asked the subordinates. The subordinates said that one person can speak for one person and not say more, or that everyone can work together to form a joint force. The leader still said that he was wrong. It should be that the core of democratic centralism is one person.
The boss has the final say. The leader wrote the word "prison" for prisoner again and asked his subordinates. The subordinates replied that everyone must have a house to live in. The leader still said, wrong, everyone who disobeys should be locked up. Finally, the leader wrote
When asked about the metal word "gold", the subordinate said that the king among men needs a bowl of water to balance it, or the king among men needs a solid foundation. The leader shook his head and sighed, your understanding is too poor, it should be as long as
If you can become the king among men, you will definitely be rich!"
I laughed immediately. Although this joke was not particularly funny, the meaning was very thought-provoking, so my laughter came from my heart.
After arriving at the living area, we each ordered a cup of tea, and then sat down to study the map. We mainly looked along both sides of the river, and paid more attention to the traffic conditions along the river and the distance to the provincial capital.
As a result, we found two places after looking at it, one is the high-rise building city, which is located downstream of the provincial capital, and the other is the military industrial city I went to last time, which is located upstream of the provincial capital.
However, it is not easy to choose the specific location. After all, what we have is only a traffic map. The specific location depends on the local planning map.
But now we basically have the idea in mind, and we set off again.
It seems that the deputy mayor is really an old friend of the old director. He actually drove himself to wait for us outside the highway intersection. Along with him were the office staff of the municipal government and the person in charge of the local education committee. The local admissions director
Yes, last time he was criticized by me for being late. But he seemed to have forgotten about that incident. As soon as he saw me, he came to greet me warmly.
In fact, this is also the case. It is a very normal thing for superiors to criticize subordinates.
It is the same for government leaders anywhere. When dealing with such matters, the first step is to take the guests to the government conference room to sit down and talk. It seems that only in this way it seems formal.
The deputy mayor’s surname is Zuo, and he is the leader in charge of culture and health here. He is over 50 years old, and it seems that it may not be long before he retires. Of course, the old director knows him and is an old friend, which is a very special thing.
It's a normal thing. From work relationship to friend relationship, this kind of situation is very common.
"Mayor Chen is having a meeting. He will be here soon. Leaders, please have some tea first." Mayor Zuo said after everyone sat down as guests of honor. Then he smiled and asked the old director: "Director Li, your
You are still in such good health. I have always said I would come see you, but I have been too busy recently. Also, I am afraid of drinking with you."
I asked with a smile: "Director Li is not a big drinker, he just likes to drink a little with every meal. Is Mayor Zuo still afraid?"
He smiled and said: "Director Feng, you don't know, the most terrifying thing about Lao Li is that he drinks in the morning! Many years ago, I was studying in the training class of the Provincial Education Commission, and he took me to drink every day, no matter at noon or evening.
, but he calls me early every morning, and then takes me to a small stall to eat noodles, asking for a portion of pig ears and two taels of white wine per person. Director Feng, you don’t know, after drinking white wine all day long this morning
He's all groggy, and it's as uncomfortable as he wants. But he is my brother, I dare not stop drinking, right?"
I couldn't help but laugh.
The old director said: "You have the nerve to accuse me. Later, I heard the deputy director of the Gaolou Education Committee say that our director Zuo used to drink very little, but after he returned from studying in the province, it increased to one pound per meal. Those are all mine.
Contribution. Drinking in the morning is the easiest way to increase your alcohol intake."
Everyone laughs.
Mayor Zuo added: "It's just that I drank in the morning and was groggy all day long. One time I fell asleep in class and snored. Now it's a joke.
."
Everyone laughed again. Of course, he can only tell such a thing himself, unless it is his superior. In addition, it would be bad for other people to tell it. In that case, not only will it not form a relaxed topic, but it will cause problems.
An embarrassing scene.
Everyone was chatting and laughing in a relaxed manner when suddenly they heard someone say: "Mayor Chen is here."
Mayor Zuo and we all stood up and looked towards the door of the conference room. We saw a short-built man in his forties striding in. We stood up out of courtesy, but Mayor Zuo
It's because he is a subordinate. There is no concept of age in the officialdom. Everything is determined by the size of the official position. I couldn't help but think of the word "zhong" and "obey" mentioned by the old director when we came here.
Mayor Zuo immediately introduced the three of us to Mayor Chen. Mayor Chen laughed heartily, "I've heard for a long time that the new director of the Provincial Recruitment Office is very young. I'm lucky enough to meet him today. It's great!"
When he shook hands with me, I felt that his hand was very strong. This is a very confident person, I thought to myself.
It will be more troublesome to talk about things with confident people, but sometimes it is easy. It depends on how to make him accept it.
Everyone sat down again, and the seat in the middle had already been reserved for Mayor Chen.
After sitting down, Mayor Zuo started to speak first, "Mayor Chen, Director Feng and their delegation are here today to select the location for the provincial admissions work center. We'd better listen to their ideas first. What do you think?"
"
Mayor Chen nodded and said: "Okay. Director Feng, I am very straightforward and don't like to beat around the bush. Just tell us your requirements for building this admission center."
So I briefly introduced the workload of enrollment in our province every year, and also talked about the current status of our enrollment work. Finally, I said: "Enrollment work is a complicated and difficult matter, so our idea is to best
It is built in a place with a relatively beautiful environment, and it also needs convenient transportation and complete infrastructure, because the current enrollment work is all computer-processed through the Internet. According to the general situation I mentioned earlier, this center occupies
The area should be more than 100 acres. Mayor Chen, we are a public institution. It is financially difficult to build this admission center solely with financial allocations, so we hope that the high-rise property market can provide strong support. I have already given this matter
Governor He reported that she has agreed in principle to us building this admission center, but it must be submitted to the provincial government executive meeting for review and approval after we complete the preliminary site selection. I think that no matter where our admission center is built, it will be
It plays a very good publicity role for the local area. So I think this project is a matter that is beneficial to both parties. Old Director, Director Ke, do you two have anything to add?"
Ke Xiangnan shook his head and said, "Director Feng has already made it very clear. I have nothing to add."
The old director said: "Let me say a few words. Anyway, I have retired, so I don't need to be so cryptic. I have worked in the Provincial Admissions Office for so many years and have always wanted to build such an admissions center, but I am not as good as Director Feng."
I am courageous and have never dared to put this matter on the agenda. I never thought that I would be able to personally participate in this matter in my lifetime, so I am very excited today."
Mayor Chen laughed, "I can completely understand Director Li's mood at the moment. Haha! In fact, we welcome you. Director Feng is right, this matter is beneficial to both parties. Director Li, you
If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
Director Li said: "This matter is indeed beneficial to both parties. We need such an admissions work venue. Every year's college entrance examination admissions, graduate admissions, and various levels of national examination admissions must be carried out here, so this
The site should occupy a slightly larger area, preferably between 100 and 200 acres. If it is too small, it will not only affect future work, but also be detrimental to your local publicity. Second, Director Feng just said
It is indeed true. Our unit only has so little money. Such a project is completely non-profit and cannot create any economic benefits. Therefore, we hope to get strong support from the leaders of Gaolou City. It is best if the cost of land acquisition is completely waived.
In addition, taxes and fees during the construction process can be waived. Haha! Mayor Chen, what I said may be too direct. In fact, when we were considering building this admission center, we had several options, but we still see that the high-rise property market is beneficial
The hot spring resources and the relatively flat geographical advantage here make this the first place we consider.”
Of course it is best for the old director to say this. Originally, I wanted to wait until Mayor Chen talked about his thoughts. (To be continued)
