Ou Qing came in the afternoon and told me that the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee had talked to her. I smiled and said to her, "Congratulations, you must work hard in the future."
But she said with some dissatisfaction: "Since I am asked to take charge there, why do I need to be on probation? I have been in the position of a full-time student for four years, and it is normal for me to be promoted? What's more, for such a broken person?
Unit. To be honest, I can’t figure it out.”
I immediately said to her seriously: "Xiao Ou, I don't agree with your statement. What do you mean by breaking a unit? The city currently attaches great importance to the work of the art troupe, so it has taken a series of measures to try to change the original situation.
.Including transferring you there, which is also one of the most important measures. Next, the government will allocate a start-up fund to you, and will also introduce many policies to support your future work.
The municipal party committee has been bold enough in hiring people in this matter. There are so many division-level and deputy-division-level cadres in the city, who can’t be hired? The main reason is that you are more suitable. However, there are many uncertainties in the future work of the art troupe.
The organization doesn't know whether you are really suitable for that position in the future, so it adopts a trial method.
But then again, if you do your job very well, you can be promoted to a full-time job at any time in the future. Moreover, the head of the Municipal Art Troupe is a full-time position, so it is not impossible for you to be in place in one step in the future. Xiao Ou
, I think you should think more about your future work now, rather than looking at issues such as level and position. You are still young, and you need to consider the problem in the long term. As long as you have the ability, you will be able to take a higher position in the future.
It could be yours. You think so?"
She nodded and said: "Mayor Feng, I understand when you say this. Don't worry, I will definitely do a good job. In fact, I also think you are very approachable, so I dare to say these words to you."
I smiled and said: "You are really good at flattering people. But it's useless. I only look at your future work performance. If you do a really good job in the future, I will say something. But if you
If you can't do your job, I will also suggest that the organization remove you."
She immediately stuck out her tongue at me and said, "Mayor Feng, your words are too scary."
I laughed suddenly, "I'm not trying to scare you, I'm telling the truth. By the way, you have to prepare as soon as possible. The affairs of your art troupe may be studied at the recent government executive meeting. You have to make your next work plan and preliminary preparations."
Make a report on the required cost budget.”
She asked me: "I have never participated in a government executive meeting, Mayor Feng, from what aspects should I report?"
I said: "You have to discuss this matter with Mayor Jin, he is your leader in charge."
She said: "Oh."
To be honest, I was really worried about her, because I just realized now that she didn’t seem to understand anything. But then I thought: Wasn’t I like this before? It was my first time to attend an executive meeting of the provincial government.
Aren’t you also feeling anxious and uneasy when you were there?
Therefore, everything from now on can only depend on her. It depends on whether she likes to use her brain and whether she is able to handle that piece of work on her own. It is a very good platform, but it does test a person's ability.
But there are some things I can’t tell her too much. After all, Mayor Jin is very motivated now. After all, Mayor Jin is in charge of this area of work, so for the details of future work, she should go to Mayor Jin.
Ask for instructions and report. This is not only something she needs to pay attention to, but it is also something I should avoid.
I went home after get off work in the afternoon and found that the house was almost tidied up. The happiest thing was the child. He was in such a new environment and his own room was full of toys, which made him very excited.
After staying at home for a while, I returned to Shangjiang City. On the way back, Xiao Cui asked me, "Mayor Feng, why did you move there? Wasn't that place very good before?"
I thought it was difficult to answer his question, but my mind immediately moved and I said, "My father-in-law bought that place for me. My wife has been dead for so long, and I don't think it's appropriate to live there anymore.
"
He said thoughtfully: "Oh. So that's it."
Now I immediately felt that this was the right place to move. Indeed, I am a government official after all, so living in a villa will inevitably lead to gossip.
Many people today are like this. They don’t care whether the source of the money you have is legal, but as long as an official appears to be too rich, they will naturally think that there must be something wrong with this person. In fact, there are many reasons for this kind of thinking.
On the one hand, many officials do have problems, which has caused a very bad impression of officials as a group among the people. On the other hand, the gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider and wider, which has caused many people to develop a mentality of hating the rich and hating officials.
.
In fact, I believe that a large number of officials still have legitimate sources of income, because it is easier for officials to earn huge amounts of wealth. This is because officials often have abundant resources and information, which allows them to control
There are many opportunities to make money. In addition, many officials have good economic acumen, so it is easy for them to see the right direction in investment. In the final analysis, this is because officials have a sufficient understanding of the macroeconomics of our country or a region.
understanding.
Investment is indeed a science. It requires a unique vision, a sensitive business sense, and the courage to make decisions. These factors are the basic elements for a person to make money, and they are indispensable. Because many times opportunities are just a few moments away.
Once you see it, you must invest immediately. Of course, one more thing is needed, and that is the mental preparation and ability to withstand failure.
The next day I received a call from Lin Yi. He told me that he would be coming to Shangjiang City tomorrow. I asked him how he planned the trip. He said he would look around the city in the morning and go up the mountain in the afternoon.
I immediately went to report the matter to Secretary Chen.
Sometimes it makes me very embarrassed: I should have reported things like this to Mayor Liu, but I don’t want to see his yin and yang face. Who knows what he will say?
But Secretary Chen is different. He will at least take my face into consideration.
Of course, it makes sense for me to report this matter to Secretary Chen. After all, Lin Yi is the largest private entrepreneur in our Jiangnan Province. Now that he is interested in Shangjiang City, this in itself is a good thing for us.
Secretary Chen was very happy after listening to my report, "Okay. Mayor Liu and I will go to the expressway to greet you tomorrow. It is a good thing that Jiangnan Group can pay attention to our Shangjiang City. By the way, Mayor Feng
, have you told Mayor Liu about this matter?"
I shook my head and said with a wry smile: "If he was not my father-in-law, I would definitely report it to Mayor Liu."
He looked at me in surprise, "What does this have to do with him being your father-in-law? If my father-in-law had such strength, I would also ask him to invest. It's the same thing."
I sighed and said, "If I reported this to him, who knows what kind of attitude he would have? Secretary Chen, you know that I don't like to speak ill of others behind their backs."
, but I am indeed in too much trouble. To be honest, if I were caught between you and Mayor Liu, many things would be difficult for me to handle. Sigh..."
He immediately looked at me thoughtfully and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Then I smiled wryly and told him about my trip to invite people from the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau to conduct archaeological excavations. Finally, I said: "Maybe I didn't think comprehensively, but the money itself should be advanced by the government first."
Funding, after all, the donation has not been received yet.
By the way, my father-in-law also said that day that if he visited the place and thought it was good, he might donate five million. There is also the owner of Nanyuan Restaurant. She sold all her shares in the restaurant to prepare for it.
Donate between 1 and 20 million.
Secretary Chen, what do you think this mere 100,000 yuan is? It doesn’t matter if I advance the money myself, it’s fine if I donate the money, but that’s not the same thing. I don’t want to donate money for this kind of thing.
, don’t you think so? Anyway, I think he thinks I’m too close to you, so he’s trying to get at me everywhere.”
He also sighed and shook his head, "Lao Liu's problem in this regard does exist. In fact, more than one person has come to talk to me. I have talked to him before, and he expressed his position well in front of me, but in the end he still
Don’t change. After you reminded me last time, I also felt that I was controlling him too strictly. As a result, it’s hard for me to talk to him anymore. Forget it, Mayor Feng, just bear with it now.
There is nothing you can do about these grievances, but I know that you are indeed difficult to deal with. But the work must continue to be done. If he doesn't want to do it, just let him ignore the matter. Anyway, you should report to him instead. Some
If he doesn't agree with something, I'll tell him."
I was very embarrassed and said: "Secretary Chen, wouldn't he be more disgusted with me in this case?"
He frowned and said, "Then I'll talk to him again. It's not just about you, it involves everyone in your government team. How can Lao Liu do this and make the people below not do anything? How can this be done?"
?The reform of Shangjiang City has begun. It’s okay for the government’s work to fail to keep up. I especially hope that every member of your team can take the initiative to discover and solve problems like you, so that our work can be carried out faster.
Reform should be pushed forward. Or like this...Okay, don't worry about this matter, I will take care of it."
I don’t know what kind of idea he meant when he said “or something like this”, but I believe he will handle this matter well. To be honest, I find myself now blindly worshiping him.
After returning to the city hall, I thought about it and felt that Secretary Chen's words were right. I felt that I should report to Mayor Liu about Lin Yi's arrival tomorrow. No matter what his attitude was, it was me who reported to him.
What the deputy should do.
This is the rule. Rules in the officialdom cannot be ignored. Those with lower official status can only swallow their anger. Even Governor Huang, as the executive deputy governor of Jiangnan Province, can only speak in front of Governor Wang.
Even if you humble yourself, you can only obey his orders completely.
These are the rules, and no matter how high-ranking officials are, they can only and must obey them.
I reported to him like this, "Mayor Liu, I have something to report to you. Lin Yi, the chairman of Jiangnan Group, will come to our Shangjiang City for inspection next year."
He looked at me with a faint smile on his face, "Oh? Isn't he your father-in-law?"
I nodded, "Yes, he is indeed my father-in-law. Although my wife has passed away, he is still my father-in-law. But he came to our Shangjiang City for inspection this time not as my father-in-law. He is
As the chairman of Jiangnan Group, I made a special trip to Shangjiang City to inspect the investment environment and the temple ruins."
He nodded, "Well, let the municipal government office make arrangements, and then I will personally meet with him. This is also a major event for our Shangjiang City."
I didn't expect him to say this, and I felt a little ashamed: It seems that I still underestimated him. In such a big matter, when it comes to my face, he actually still cares about it. Now I don't
There was so much to say, "Okay, I'll say hello to the municipal government office right away."
He immediately said: "I will report this matter to Secretary Chen immediately. Jiangnan Group is the largest private enterprise in our province, and we must receive it well."
I smiled and said, "I'm just reporting this matter to you. You can decide on the specific arrangements."
He nodded towards me, the expression on his face seemed a little strange.
After I left his office, I suddenly realized that I had made a mistake that I shouldn't have made today: I complained to Secretary Chen for a long time, but in the end I didn't expect Mayor Liu to be so considerate of the overall situation. Doesn't this make me a
A villain now?
At this moment, I suddenly had a feeling in my heart: Mayor Liu is by no means as simple as I thought before.
I suddenly thought of a saying: Showing weakness is actually a kind of wisdom. There is also a saying: Only the strong shows weakness, and the weak shows strength.
Among the figures in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, there are three people I admire the most.
The first is Xiaozhuang. This is a woman who cannot be described with ordinary smart words. She turned to the forefront of politics, assisted two generations of young masters throughout her life, and opened up a great foundation for an empire. She worked hard to preserve the power of Emperor Shunzhi.
The emperor was willing to surrender to Dorgon, and for the sake of Kangxi's smooth succession, he did not hesitate to show weakness to the powerful minister Ao Bai. He remained unfailing in the face of the turbulent power struggle, and was willing to sacrifice his dignity to preserve the overall situation. This is a man's heroism and wisdom reflected in a woman.
It makes people feel overwhelmed.
The second is Sony. As a veteran of the three dynasties and the head of the four auxiliary ministers, he faced the fact that Kangxi was still young and had not yet taken charge of the government, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was already old, and the treacherous minister Obai was domineering. He excused himself to be ill and did not participate in the government affairs, showing weakness at every turn.
, later when the time was ripe, he finally succeeded in assisting Kangxi in his pro-government.
The third is Bamboulshan. Banburshan summarized the three major dangers of being a minister since ancient times: if his achievements are too great, the master will not be able to reward him but can only die; if the minister is powerful and powerful, the master will not tolerate him.
If there are two tigers in the mountain, the minister will definitely be killed; if the minister is strong and the master is weak, the monarch and ministers will be suspicious of each other and cannot live in peace with each other. The master is afraid that the ministers will rebel, so he will definitely punish the ministers and kill them all.
Once, Banbulshan played chess with Sony's son, who was later the prime minister of the Kangxi Dynasty. Banbulshan abandoned his son and surrendered, and Suo'etu was very proud. As a result, Sony looked at the chessboard and said in surprise: "This game is obviously his.
You win! Bamboulshan is more powerful than Aobai. Aobai always strives for strength, but Bamboulshan always shows weakness. You have to be careful about him!"
It should be said: everyone can demonstrate to others, but only a few people can do it if they know how to show weakness to others at the right time. Because showing weakness often requires wisdom, and it also requires a belly as big as the sea. From this, it is not difficult for us to understand why, in nature,
Survival of the fittest, not survival of the strong. Because being strong at all times and everywhere can gain temporary benefits, but it does not guarantee final victory. In fact, the same principle applies to being a human being. If you are too strong and competitive, you will often encounter problems.
There are more twists and turns. However, there are some people who know how to be moderately tolerant when things happen, without being too pushy or taking the lead in everything. They have a peaceful and tolerant mind, can abandon all selfish thoughts, are not disturbed by outsiders, and can persevere in doing things. They
Even if they encounter a blow, they will not lose all hope because they have a calm mind and can handle it calmly. Such people are not very aggressive and do not run fast, but they can often persist to the end.
In fact, don’t try to build your own perfect life, let life maintain its original flexibility. You have to show weakness when it’s time to show weakness. It’s easy to be killed if you are strong in everything. As the saying goes, a bird can be shot at the beginning, “When you are quiet, you are like a delicate flower.”
"Looking at the water, you act like a weak willow supporting the wind." The real strong person is not the one who is always ahead.
The strong show weakness and the weak show strength. Don't let your outward vanity and inner weakness obscure your eyes and become the Obai who shows off his bravery for a moment. This is the correct way to be a human being.
In addition, in the process of getting along with others, showing weakness appropriately is actually an attitude of sincere acceptance. Showing weakness is the lubricant that eliminates barriers, enhances communication and establishes good interpersonal relationships. But showing weakness does not mean retreating or being weak.
Bullying is not unprincipled self-deprecation and compromise, but a kind of respect, courtesy and tolerance, and a kind of wisdom in communication and life. (To be continued)
