It is precisely because of this that I began to have a new understanding of Mayor Liu, and this new understanding is a kind of worry for me - will this person appear at some point in the future?
What's the problem?
The problem I am referring to is not something wrong with him, but the possibility of causing trouble to Secretary Chen, including me of course.
Showing weakness is a strategy, and such a strategy can easily confuse people. Some people show weakness to prepare for their future rise, but some people are like poisonous snakes lurking in the dark.
When he gets an opportunity, he suddenly jumps out, but that kind of fatal blow is difficult to guard against.
Judging from the subsequent situation, my concern was correct, because everything that happened later completely verified my worries at the time.
However, it was impossible for me to remind Secretary Chen at that time, because it was just a guess, and such a guess would probably be misunderstood by others as speaking ill of others behind their backs, which was the work of a villain.
And precisely because I was secretly prepared to take precautions against Mayor Liu, I tried my best to report to him on everything that followed, and I also tried to keep a low profile. Because of this, a series of events that happened later
The matter did not endanger me.
Through this incident, I realized one more thing: As a person in official circles, it is very important to maintain a cautious and cautious attitude at all times.
Of course, this is something that happens later.
Lin Yi arrived in our Shangjiang City at nine o'clock the next morning. Secretary Chen led the main leaders of the four families to personally greet him at the exit of the highway, and police cars were also prepared to clear the way. It can be said that this time Lin Yi
The standards when coming to Shangjiang are quite high, and when the deputy governor of the province came to inspect our work in Shangjiang City, the standards were just like this.
But I found that Lin Yi didn't act like he was flattered. Instead, he was so calm. He gave people the impression that he was not the boss of a private company, but a big leader from the province. But I
He doesn't think it's strange. After all, he has seen many big scenes. After all, the municipal party committee secretary of Shangjiang City is just a department-level cadre, and is nothing in his eyes. Unless he is an official like Governor Huang.
, and it is also directly related to the fundamental interests of Jiangnan Group, otherwise he would not be afraid.
However, I still admire him in my heart. You must know that his calm state of acceptance is not something ordinary people can achieve.
Lin Yi brought a convoy today, with at least a dozen people traveling with him. He was riding in the extended Lincoln.
In my impression, he rarely used this car. I remember that he used this car when he sent someone to pick me up for the first time. A car is just a tool, but Lin Yi used this tool very well.
Okay. Under today's circumstances, the purpose of him coming in this car is to show the strong strength of Jiangnan Group, and at the same time to demonstrate his status as the number one leader in Jiangnan's private enterprises.
Secretary Chen enthusiastically stepped forward to shake hands with Lin Yi, "Chairman Lin, welcome to our Shangjiang City for inspection. Your arrival today adds new hope to our discovery in Shangjiang City."
Lin Yi said with a "hehe" smile: "Secretary Chen, I am a businessman. If Shangjiang City can give us good policies for Jiangnan Group, we will definitely consider investing in your city."
Secretary Chen smiled and said: "Great, we will definitely give Jiangnan Group the most favorable policy."
Then he introduced Mayor Liu and other city leaders to Lin Yi one by one. Lin Yi went to shake hands with them one by one. When he introduced me, Secretary Chen immediately laughed and said, "This one doesn't need me."
Have you introduced me?"
Lin Yi stretched out his hand to me and shook it, then smiled, "I need an introduction. Today we will talk about work, not family matters."
Everyone laughs.
Secretary Chen immediately asked Lin Yidao: "Chairman Lin, do you think we should have a discussion first or visit our city directly?"
Lin Yi smiled and said: "Stop the car first, and then let's take a walk to see the city. During lunch, I will ask the leaders about the basic situation of your city. Secretary Chen, do you think this is okay?"
Secretary Chen laughed and said, "Okay. Entrepreneurs are different and are much more pragmatic than us. In the future, we should be like this, doing less formalism and doing more real things."
Lin Yi smiled and said: "Secretary Chen, your company is different from ours. We don't need so many procedures. There are also advantages to following procedures, that is, it is not easy to make mistakes in decision-making. The biggest advantage of private enterprises is that the boss can make decisions at will.
They can quickly seize opportunities, but they can also easily cause huge losses. The prosperity and decline of private enterprises often depend on this issue."
Secretary Chen nodded with a smile and said: "Many people say that Chairman Lin is very wise, and I have learned the lesson today. Chairman Lin, what you said has reached the most fundamental point. Okay, let's not talk about it for now.
Let’s go into town.”
Lin Yi smiled and nodded, but then he said something, "Secretary Chen, we don't need so many people to take to the streets in a while, right? Just a few people will do. With so many people, the people will regard us as a parade."
Strange."
Secretary Chen laughed again, "Chairman Lin's reminder makes sense. Well, just me, Mayor Liu and Mayor Feng will accompany you then."
The motorcade quickly entered the city and stopped inside the Municipal Party Committee. Then the three of us and Lin Yi walked up the street together. Lin Yi's entourage was arranged by people from the Municipal Party Committee Office to rest in a hotel. Lin Yi specifically said
He said: "We cannot add trouble or burden to you, the expenses can only be settled by ourselves. Secretary Chen, please accept my request."
Secretary Chen said: "Chairman Lin is a member of the Standing Committee of our Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and our leader, so we should receive him as well."
I was surprised: when did he become a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial CPPCC? But then I remembered that Governor Huang seemed to have told me that Lin Yi had made such a request. Now it seems that his request has been approved.
Lin Yi smiled and said: "Ashamed, that's just a false name. I am a businessman. If our Jiangnan Group can do something for the reform of Shangjiang City, we would be deeply honored. Secretary Chen, we are an enterprise, and many things need to be done
We have the support of the government, but we cannot cause trouble to the government. This is my consistent principle."
Secretary Chen smiled and said: "Forget it, then we won't care about your accommodation problem. But the food issue must be solved by us. Chairman Lin, you are our respected guest, and we must fulfill our friendship as landlords."
"
Lin Yi said: "Thank you."
A few of us left the municipal party committee office building, and of course there were several secretaries behind us. Lin Yi's secretary was also there. Looking at her, I couldn't help but think of Shangguan Qinlai, and the guilt and sting in my heart appeared again. Until
To this day, I still don’t know whether what I did was right or wrong.
It is late autumn now. The temperature in Shangjiang City is slightly lower than that in the provincial capital, and the air is better than that in the provincial capital. Walking on the street immediately gives people a cool and comfortable feeling. In fact, for a local municipality like us
For leaders, there are not many opportunities to walk on the street like this on weekdays. We spend most of our time in offices, conference rooms and cars.
This is certainly due to the fact that we have too many meetings and too much work on weekdays, but more importantly, it is due to our own unwillingness. In our subconscious, we are not willing to do that, because doing so will make us feel that we have lost our identity.
Being able to mingle with the masses is often the need for officials to put on a show.
This is actually a relatively complicated mentality: on the one hand, we feel that we should go out and mingle with the people, but on the other hand, we cannot let go of the airs in our hearts, or we feel that it is unnecessary.
We walked forward along the main street of the city. When we just left the municipal party committee office building, many people were greeting us. Most of these people were cadres from various departments below.
Secretary Chen didn't pay much attention to them. At first he nodded to the people who greeted them, but then he ignored them at all. I took care of the nodding to them. Secretary Chen was introducing the situation of the city to Lin Yi.
There is no time to worry about the greetings of those people. (To be continued)
