It is not surprising that such things happen in officialdom, because in the final analysis officialdom is a science of taking sides.
There is a saying that goes like this: Whoever owns the territory has the final say.
The root of the problem that makes this sentence come true lies in circles. A history of Chinese culture is a history of circles. Literati have circles of literati, this society, that society, this school and that school. Jianghu has its circles, and this knight and that master
, either Emei or Kunlun, Kongtong or Huashan, Shaolin or Qingcheng. Bandits have their own circles, this village, that incense hall, this king, that village leader, are all based on the circle. Blood relationship
You can form a circle, you can form a circle if you have common interests, you can form a circle if you have shared interests, you can form a circle if you want to fight against someone else's family. Chinese people yearn for harmony, and harmony is often understood as a mature and tolerant mentality and state. But hidden
There is another deeper meaning that has always been kept taboo by people. The so-called circle is to draw a circle around a certain point of convergence and put people with common pursuits, interests, hobbies, and characteristics into a circle.
.The so-called integration means to achieve internal integration and unity around this circle, so as to achieve the effect of one voice speaking to the outside world. Based on the characteristics of Chinese cultural genes, it is not an exaggeration to draw such an explanation.
The origin of the word "circle" seems to be unknown, but circles have always run through the history of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, so circles have also left us idiom stories - a person achieves enlightenment, a chicken and a dog ascend to heaven. Liu An, the king of Huainan in the Han Dynasty, according to historians' rumor,
Some people think that he was obsessed with power and coveted the throne, and studied alchemy books and practiced with concentration in order to conspire against him. Some people think that he was simply contaminated by the custom of refining alchemy and taking medicine during the Han and Wei dynasties, and always wanted to live forever. But there is one thing in common, that is, this prince,
In the end, he became an immortal, and his family shared the glory with him. It is said that in the end, the house was empty, and there was no one to feed the cats, dogs, chickens, and cows in the house. They were so hungry that they licked the rest of the owner's dinner plates. As a result,
He also ascended to heaven after taking the remains of the elixir. Although it is just a legend, I think it is a bit unreliable. At least in my opinion, it is not an accident that chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, but it is definitely a special arrangement by Mr. An.
Chinese people always have a bottom line when evaluating a person - there is hard work without merit. Think about it, Mr. An has worked hard for many years and achieved glory. How can he forget those minions who have followed and followed for many years?
Most of the world is a legend, the brother is nihilistic, the sister is ethereal, the circle is not a circle, it is just something to talk about after dinner. But once the circle comes into contact with real life, it spreads to every corner of politics, economy, culture and daily life.
Cheating is inevitable, and no one can stay calm. In the literary circle, if you occupy a newspaper, a magazine, or an editor's position, you have the right to speak. Whether your article can be published, whether you can be shortlisted for awards
, first look at the small circle, and then look at the big circle. In the entertainment industry, after entering the room, going to bed, directors, producers and actors, after in-depth understanding and contact, everyone talks about "philosophy of life" and becomes a circle.
Once you become your own family, it will not be a problem to appear on camera, and it will not be a problem to become red or purple. In the education circle, if you follow the right mentor and find the right leader, you will have both good character and academic performance. Otherwise, you will be the villain in the last row of the classroom.
Just go and study. In the economic circle, you have to prevent malicious competition and prevent others from disturbing you. You have to make friends with white people. If you want to get rich overnight, expand rapidly, and be a white wolf with nothing, then you can't do it without getting acquainted with the underworld. Black dye, white dye
Black, stained and messy, in the end, the avenue is invisible, there is no path left, at most it is the Infernal Path.
In Chinese officialdom, since ancient times, there has been a philosophy of "taking sides", either explicitly or implicitly. From top to bottom, from the roots of the imperial city to the outlying countryside, it exists everywhere. When entering the officialdom, many people have embraced it.
A gambler's mentality. You have to first choose a circle with one or a few leaders as the core, and bet on them. Because the Chinese always believe in a saying: If you can do it, you can do it, and if you don't, you can do it.
; If you say you can't do it, you can't do it. Even if you can do it, you can't do it. Because Confucius's hierarchy of superiority and inferiority has become a conscious criterion for people to act, and recognition from above is the only criterion. If the team is in the right position, it will not be a problem to rise to the top and become rich and wealthy.
If your team is on the wrong side, you will lose the game. I'm sorry, at least you will step out of the line voluntarily, or at worst you will be imprisoned or even your life will be at risk. Although it is a gamble, you have a greater chance of winning, so most people are willing to give it a try.
.Although it is gambling, you can't do it without gambling. Sandwiched between two mountains, if you can't become a sardine, you have to become a sandwich biscuit. When others eat meat, you have to step aside, and when others eat fish, you have nothing to do.
Dragons walk in the sky, and snakes crawl on the ground. Dragons and snakes fight. On the ground, dragons cannot defeat snakes, because dragons are always just lonely people, while snakes are out-and-out venomous snakes.
, there is a background behind it, that is, as the saying goes, there is a background. The ancients have long concluded that in the so-called nest of snakes and rats, there are not only snake brothers and snake brothers, but in this three-acre land, even the mice are the snake's own family.
.There is also the saying that when a tiger falls in peace and is bullied by a dog, it also means the same thing. A tiger is still a tiger when it comes out of the mountain. Unless it is a dying sick cat or a paper tiger, otherwise, it is difficult for any dog to gain the upper hand when fighting alone. But unfortunately, unfortunately,
When the tiger comes down from the mountain, the dogs come up one after another. A good man cannot be defeated by two pairs of hands. If you are not bullied by dogs, who will be bullied by dogs?
In the official circles of Shangjiang City, Mayor Wen is the local snake, and Secretary Chen is the new tiger who has just arrived. Of course, he does not like to be in a situation where the tiger has fallen into a trap, so what he needs to do most after arriving here is to strengthen himself as soon as possible.
After all, he is the organizationally appointed secretary of the municipal party committee and the real leader of Shangjiang City, so he can use his power to win over and undermine some people around Mayor Wen. And now many people are very
Realistically, they will definitely move closer to the truly strong when choosing a team.
Could it be that Secretary Chen made an appropriate concession this time in order to consider the overall situation? I thought about it and felt that this is very possible. After all, the winery project is too small for our entire Shangjiang City.
, so there is no need for him to continue to argue with Mayor Wen about this matter.
Since Mayor Wen cares about face so much, let’s give him such satisfaction. If I were Secretary Chen, I might do the same. After all, he is the municipal party committee secretary, and what he has to do is to take care of the entire Shangjiang City.
chess.
Although I still vaguely feel that my analysis is not entirely reasonable, I really can't find any other reason to explain it.
But now I seem to know who the person was pulled over by Secretary Chen, or who took the initiative to side with Secretary Chen. Because I think there is only one person who is the most likely.
You know, I just received this outline because I happened to be in my office, so I believe Xiao Xu should not waste time in the process of distributing it. However, Secretary Chen called him before I called him.
Got it, what does this mean?
The content of the proposal for the government executive meeting is submitted to Mayor Wen by the deputy mayor in charge, and then Mayor Wen personally stipulates it before finalizing it. However, after he stipulates it, it will be printed and distributed by people from the government office.
Therefore, Secretary Chen's news must have come from the government office.
Because I just took office, I was not notified to submit a motion this time. This is not surprising.
The deputy mayor in charge who brought up the winery matter to the meeting should not tell Secretary Chen about it in advance, because I know that the deputy mayor has a good relationship with Mayor Wen, and this person is Chen.
The secretary told me about Jiang Shanan, the deputy mayor in charge of industry, who is also a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee.
Therefore, this person can only be the main person in charge of the municipal government office. You must know that if a person wants to join Secretary Chen, he must at least have a certain level or position, because such a person will care so much about his current position.
The ambition to continue to rise is also stronger than other people. Of course, ordinary people, Secretary Chen, will not take a fancy to him. In addition, this person should be very close to Mayor Wen, otherwise Mayor Wen will be
I will not talk about what happened between him and me that day in front of this person. And there is only one person who can meet these two conditions - Secretary-General Lu.
It can only be him, because he is the only one who meets the conditions for leaking secrets.
I could only smile bitterly: How come things in this officialdom have become so complicated and mysterious like a spy movie?
But when I thought about all this, I immediately felt relieved: This is how officialdom is, and you just need to understand it in your heart. The most terrifying thing is that I was confused and used by others, and even sold by others without knowing how.
Get back to things.
I called Xiao Xu and said, "This outline was brought to me directly after the general office sent it to you, right?"
He nodded, "Yes. Mayor Feng, what's wrong?"
I thought to myself: It is indeed what I imagined. I smiled and said: "I just want to remind you that if you encounter such a thing in the future, you must give me the documents as soon as possible, because I need time to think and prepare."
He agreed with a look on his face. I immediately took out two cigarettes and handed them to him, "You can take them and smoke them. I have given you the outline of the research report. You need to organize it into words as soon as possible. Thank you for your hard work."
.”
He hurriedly said: "Mayor Feng, this is what I should do."
I smiled at him and said, "You are a smoker, so it is my duty to give you this cigarette. Right? Xiao Xu, you are my secretary. Don't be trembling in front of me. It's better to be more casual."
I looked at the time and immediately left the office and went downstairs. Xiao Cui was already waiting for me in the car outside the government building.
He was still driving very fast, but this time I didn't say anything because I was in a hurry. And after getting in the car, I started thinking about the winery.
I still feel that there is something strange in it, but I really can’t figure it out for a while.
I was still late. It was already close to 7pm when I arrived at Nanyuan Restaurant. On the way, Zhong Feng asked me twice where I was, and I always replied that I had entered the city, but there was too much traffic.
I'm not lying. Traffic jams in provincial capitals are getting more and more serious nowadays. This is the inevitable result of the rapid development of cities and the inability to keep up with the infrastructure.
When I entered the private room, I saw Lin Yi, Xia Lan, and Zhong Feng already inside. They were sitting on the sofa in the private room chatting. I couldn't help but apologize, "It's really too much traffic, and there are too many things at hand."
, and we can’t leave early. There’s no other way.”
Zhong Feng blamed me and said: "You didn't pay attention to taking shortcuts. Don't get off the expressway from Jiangnan, continue driving forward, and then drive back from the airport direction, so that there will be no traffic jams. Although the distance is longer, the speed is faster.
ah."
I thought about it and realized that it would indeed be much faster. After all, the airport road is very wide. Then I smiled and said, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that? I will definitely follow the route you told me next time."
Lin Yi smiled and said: "It's okay. Anyway, no one has anything urgent to do today."
Only then did I remember that I should ask Xia Lan, "When did you arrive in Jiangnan?"
She replied: "Today at noon."
I found that she had some changes. She looked more mature in her dress than before. Her shawl-length hair was also pulled back, and her clothes lost many fashionable elements, which made her look more beautiful.
Some, because now she dresses more in line with her age.
Lin Yi immediately said to me: "Okay, everyone, stop chatting, we are all hungry. Xiao Zhong, tell the waiter to serve the food." (To be continued)
