Someone once asked Emperor Qianlong: What do you think of loyal ministers and traitorous ministers? Qianlong said: traitorous ministers are of course bad, but loyal ministers are too upright, which is difficult for people to accept. Qianlong's words are like a modern version of the officialdom ecology. For leaders,
, in fact, they also have such ambivalence when employing people.
Although traitors are good at pleasing people, leaders know that most traitors have no talent or virtue and are of little use at critical moments. Although loyal ministers can be very useful at critical moments, they always make the boss feel that they make me happy and worry me. The reason for happiness is
Because loyal ministers are capable and perform well, but they are inevitably arrogant because of their high talents, which can easily put the pressure of being hijacked by others.
It can be seen that neither purely loyal ministers nor purely treacherous ministers are enough to make leaders truly feel at ease. Only those capable ministers who are loyal and treacherous are what leaders really need. Haha!
Mayor Feng, I'm a little excited today, so I talk a little too much, you won't laugh at me because of this, right?"
I hurriedly said: "How is that possible? I like hearing what you say very much. You continue."
In fact, I was a little confused: when he asked me to come to his place, it seemed that the matter was very important and he was anxious, but why did I suddenly change after I came to his place? Instead, I became relaxed and elegant?
I thought about it, and then I seemed to understand: maybe it was because the matter was too important that he began to hesitate.
He then continued: "So I admire the province's arrangement of cadres in Shangjiang City this time, especially their choice of top leaders. Mayor Feng, I am not flattering the provincial leaders behind their backs.
It can be said that except for Secretary Chen, other people may encounter greater troubles here.
Mayor Feng, Minister Lin of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee specially told me that she hopes that I can often exchange experience with you in the officialdom. In fact, how can I have such a level? It’s just that I have been doing organizational work for a while.
, so I have some insights. If I said something wrong, please criticize and correct me."
I immediately said seriously: "Minister Yang, I sincerely thank you for what you said to me. It would not be an exaggeration if I call you teacher. Really, I have benefited a lot today. And last time.
If you hadn't given me some guidance on the matter, I might have lost my mind a long time ago."
He said "haha": "Mayor Feng, you are too polite. In fact, I am just a bystander. As the saying goes, bystanders are wise. As the Minister of Organization, in addition to doing the work of inspecting and training cadres, I also observe the policies of the administrators.
Regarding measures and other aspects, that is not my job, but I have included it in my own learning process.
So for me, the affairs of your municipal government are just a bystander, and that’s why I can see many things more clearly. Mayor Feng, I didn’t drink today, but I was very anxious and at the same time a little hesitant.
So I just talked to you so much. Hey! I really don’t know what to do about this matter. Mayor Feng, are we friends in private? "
I thought to myself: It is indeed the case. Then I hurriedly said to him: "Of course we are friends. Please tell me if you have anything to do. As long as I can do it, I will definitely find a way to do it well."
He then murmured: "Now I am very worried that Secretary Chen will have problems."
I was suddenly shocked, "Why are you so worried?"
He said: "Didn't I say before that our original idea was to deliberately create chaos? But now some people seem to understand our intention."
I don’t understand, “So what if they understand? Do they still dare to take such a matter to the province and file a complaint? No? They have their own problems, and I don’t think they will do that. So they
It doesn’t matter whether we discover it or not. The key thing is that now we know the structure of the relationship network here, isn’t that all right?”
But he shook his head and said: "Of course it's not like that..."
But before he finished speaking, my phone suddenly rang. I looked at it and found that it was Director Zou from the Provincial Department of Health. I immediately understood what was going on and immediately said to Minister Yang.
: "Sorry, I'll take a call first."
He nodded towards me.
"Mayor Feng, I haven't seen you for a long time." After I answered the phone, I heard his familiar voice. I hurriedly said: "Director Zou, are you in a hurry? I have something on my hands right now.
Or can I call you later?"
He said: "Oh, that's it. Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask you. Director Sun of the Shangjiang Municipal Health Bureau called me. He said that he had already come to see you.
Right? Xiao Feng, we are old friends. To tell you the truth, Director Sun is a very capable person. If you can say a few words for him, please do him a favor. I
I am familiar with Mayor Yin of your place, and I called her just now, but she is not a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, and I understand her difficulties. Haha! That's it, I won't disturb you anymore."
I said: "I understand, don't worry."
He immediately hung up the phone. I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This Director Sun actually called my old superior."
Minister Yang laughed "haha", "It's understandable. You see, this is what smart people do. He won't follow the path of local leaders, because now he can't see clearly the next direction of power distribution in the city."
I nodded, "Yes. He is a smart man. Minister Yang, I'm sorry, your words were interrupted by this phone call just now. Please continue."
But he smiled and asked me: "Aren't you going to give a reply to Director Zou?"
I shook my head and said: "This is a sensitive period now. I won't ask you specific questions about cadre adjustment unless you are willing to tell me. I know that it is difficult for Secretary Chen and you, so I will not add more to you."
Trouble."
He sighed and said: "Mayor Feng, I am determined to be your friend. In fact, my previous words have basically answered your question. Do you think so?"
I was startled, then smiled and said: "I don't know anything. Let's wait until the plan is studied before we talk about it."
The meaning of his words is very clear. He said mostly affirmative words to Director Sun before, which already explains the problem very much. But I will not reply to Director Zou at this time, because that can easily cause problems.
If the news leaks, this will be detrimental to the next work of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department.
He smiled and nodded: "Mayor Feng, thank you for your understanding. I mentioned earlier that someone may have understood our intention, but what you may not know is that the key to the problem lies with Secretary Chen.
Because he doesn’t think this matter is a trap. I’ve tried to persuade him several times, but he doesn’t seem to have listened completely. What I’m most worried about now is that he will suddenly have an attack due to other things, and then do the wrong thing.
Decide."
I asked him hurriedly: "What exactly happened? Can you please tell me immediately?"
He said slowly: "Don't you really know?"
I was suddenly confused, "What do I know? If I knew, would I still pretend in front of you?"
He hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, there's something wrong with the way I said it. You don't know that it seems true, and it's normal. Director Sun of the Municipal Health Bureau didn't tell you this, which just shows that he can't see the current situation clearly."
situation. The thing is like this. Just today, many cadres in the city received a text message on their mobile phones. The content of this text message was satirical to Secretary Chen and me, including Mayor Wen. The content of this text message was
A word. Wait, let me open the text message on my phone and take a look."
Immediately, he opened the text message on his phone and handed the phone to me. I saw the content above:
"Qinyuanchun·Shangjiang":
Chen is here, Yang is following, wenshi bastard. Looking at the river today, it is full of miasma, the government and the people are in conflict, and it is impossible to talk. They operate secretly, exclude dissidents, and actually attack state-owned enterprises. What's more, it hurts the workers of our state-owned enterprises.
, panicked inside.
The officialdom is dark and stormy, and there are unique ways to seize human and financial rights. I lament that the future will be castles in the air, state-owned assets will be lost, and the people will suffer. State-owned enterprises, state-owned enterprises, will fall into the tiger's mouth, leaving officials with full pockets. It's all over, and we should learn from the pain and don't mess up.
Do it.
I was immediately shocked and asked hurriedly: "Who did this?" (To be continued)
