He said: "Lao Chen is too confident now, and his confidence is a bit inflated. This is what I am most worried about."
I didn't expect that he would speak so directly and not be defensive about me at all. His attitude made me feel ashamed and a little moved at the same time.
When a person uses his own falsehood to face the sincerity of others, it is conceivable that he feels ashamed in his heart.
I nodded, "Yes. So, since you have seen this problem, why don't you find an opportunity to persuade him?"
He shook his head, "Can I persuade him? Do you know what that is? It's private!"
Indeed, what he said got to the root of the problem. Work matters are easy to talk about, but matters involving privacy are completely different, and such things may anger him because they involve dignity.
The problem.
I thought about it and said, "Secretary Yang, forget it. After all, this is his private matter and privacy. Such things should not affect major issues."
But he was still shaking his head, "Brother Comrade, do you think that some issues are too simple? There are so many women, and some want to be officials. This is easy to handle. Just promote them to deputy division level or division level. But those
What about those who are not suitable for promotion? What should I do? Do you think women are all fools? Do they really just look at his position? Do they think he is handsome? Impossible. So, in the final analysis, this still requires spending money
Money matters. Where does the money come from? Think about it, if this continues, won’t the problem become serious?”
I was silent for a moment because my mood suddenly became heavy.
He continued: "Brother, let me ask you, if he asks you to give a certain project in your charge to a certain person, will you give it?"
I was very surprised, "But, so far, such a thing has never happened."
He laughed "haha", "I'm talking about what if. Maybe he won't come to you, but it's hard to say. After all, there is such a large group company under your industrial park, and the scope of business is so wide. Some things need to be spent.
Money, my man! Don’t you understand?”
I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "If he really said something, I can only try my best to consider it. Otherwise, what else can I do? He is the municipal party committee secretary, can I not listen to him?"
He patted the table lightly, "That's the crux of the problem. Think about it, you agreed, what if something happens in the future? Will you be responsible for it?"
I shook my head, "Secretary Yang, you know that I never make money from my position. This is my consistent principle."
He smiled lightly, "I know you are not short of money. But why did you come to be the executive deputy mayor? Isn't it to reflect your own life value? If you want to be a boss, is it not easy to make a lot of money? Yes, you can't do it.
You can be greedy for a penny, but once something happens, you have to bear the corresponding responsibility, right? If you lose your position because of this, and your years of hard work are ruined, will you be willing?"
I immediately understood: In fact, he was also worried about his own future. No, the most fundamental issue he was worried about was his own future. When he said these things to me today, he probably hoped that I could come forward to solve them.
Potential danger. After all, his relationship with Secretary Chen is closer than mine.
But I don't want to take the initiative to take on this responsibility, because I feel that if I take the initiative, I will be fooled by the old fox in front of me.
Yes, he was indeed very sincere today, but I know very well that his sincerity has a purpose. I think that this matter is actually the same as our previous sincere exchanges. In the end, the one who benefits the most is definitely himself.
.
I shook my head and said: "There are some things that can't be helped. After all, he is the secretary of the municipal party committee, and he is also a person with a very good background. I think that under normal circumstances nothing will happen. I also believe that he should understand the risks of some things.
.He is a smart man, even wise.”
He sighed and said: "First of all, a truly smart person would not do such a thing, let alone say he is wise. He is confused and confused by women. This has been the case since ancient times.
Are there too many things that happen to him? There are so many heroes, but there are too few who end up bad things with women? Secondly, yes, he has a background, and the background is not simple. However, once something is noticed by some people,
That's hard to say. The temptation of power is too great. There are more than one or two people eyeing his position. Wouldn't it mean that there are many in Shangjiang City and even in the province. Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, the party in charge,
If you want wind, you can get rain. Who is not moved? Brother, don’t think that things are calm on the surface in our Shangjiang City. In fact, there may have been an undercurrent below. Tell me, last time we and Japan
Is the incident that happened when Fang signed the contract really that simple? There is also the matter of Jiang Kui, although it is stable now, but once someone wants to take advantage of it, and more evidence is obtained, the bigger problem will be
It’s not impossible to put some weight on it and then set off a big storm all at once. Haha! Brother, you actually know it best, don’t you?”
I couldn't help but ask, "What do you think we should do?"
I have to admit that there is something extraordinary about him. At least he can make me take the initiative to ask him for advice. You know, I am always on guard.
But he was shaking his head, "I don't know either. So I thought about it for a long time, and today I specially called you to discuss this matter together, and I also specially chose this place. Mayor Feng, I have always regarded you as a friend.
, because I think you are very principled, very loyal, and very sincere to people. To be honest, in Shangjiang City, the only person I can really trust is you. I also hope that you can
Trust me. You and I are actually considered by people to be Lao Chen's confidants. If something happens to him in the future, how can the whole family be destroyed? I don't need to say more about the truth of this, right?"
I couldn't help but nod, "Yes. But you can't persuade him in person about such a thing, right?"
He shook his head and smiled bitterly at the same time, "I wouldn't dare to tell him such a thing anyway."
I looked at him and almost laughed, "Am I right? It would be weird if he didn't jump eight feet high and roar."
He immediately laughed, "Yes, with his temper, it's definitely possible."
I went to clink glasses with him. After drinking, I suddenly realized something. Then I looked at him and said, "Brother, you have actually thought of a solution, right? Forget it, stop hiding it and say
Come out and let me listen to it and see if it’s feasible or not?”
He shook his head, "I really didn't think it through, that's why I'm worried."
I smiled and said, "Yeah. I don't know you yet? You are always calm in doing things. Do you think you will talk to me easily if you haven't thought about it?"
He was immediately startled, and then said with a wry smile: "He who knows me is my brother."
I laughed and said, "You, stop being so formal. Tell me, what do you think?"
He said: "Drink."
I glanced at him, and this time I didn't urge him, because I thought it might be difficult for him to say what he was about to say to me. So he was hesitating. So I went to clink glasses with him, and then drank.
Then, I started eating, mainly waiting for the following words to be said.
He was sighing. After a while, I heard him say: "It's hard for Lao Chen to listen to what others say these days. I know that two members of the Standing Committee recently went to give him advice on work-related matters, and they were severely criticized by him.
Not to mention whether the opinions of the two Standing Committee members are right or wrong, but there is definitely something wrong with Lao Chen's way of handling it. This only shows that he cares more and more about his authority. So, even if you and I go
It is useless to persuade him. On the contrary, it may arouse his resentment. However, once he has a problem, you and I will be implicated, and it is impossible for us to distance ourselves from his relationship now.
And I can fully predict that he will hold you and me tighter in the future. Maybe you have already felt that he is asking you and me to do many things, and this is because he does not trust other people."
I nodded, "You have said so much, but you still haven't said what we should do."
He said: "I think the best way now is for you to report Lao Chen's situation to Minister Lin. Minister Lin is the head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. If she comes forward to talk to Lao Chen, it may have some effect. You
What do you think?"
I was very surprised because I didn't expect him to come up with such an idea. I shook my head and said, "Isn't it good? The Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee came forward to talk to Lao Chen? Lao Chen will definitely think that I am speaking ill of him behind his back.
.He cares so much about his impression in the leader’s mind, wouldn’t he hate me to death if I did that?”
He said: "What I mean is to ask Minister Lin to come forward in his private capacity to talk to Lao Chen."
I smiled bitterly, "For a person with her status, even if we talk about it in a personal capacity, would Lao Chen separate her from the position of organization director? The issue of male-female relations is big if it is big and small if it is small, but such a problem
Once the boss knows about it, the problem will be huge. Don't you think so? There is also the problem of rough work style, and the same problem with Yitangtang."
He nodded, "That's true. It seems that my idea is still too immature. Originally, I was thinking that you tell Minister Lin about Lao Chen, and then Minister Lin privately reminds Lao Chen to restrain himself.
.That’s it. Now when I hear what you said, I feel like it’s not very good. Hey! What should I do? Brother, tell me, I have promoted so many female cadres in recent times according to his instructions. If something happens in the future,
If there is a problem, isn’t it all my responsibility?”
I understand his concerns very well. After all, he is in charge of cadre promotion. If something goes wrong with Secretary Chen in the future, if Secretary Yang passes the responsibility to Secretary Chen for something like this, even though the higher-ups know that there is such a problem.
Possible, but I still think that this is an approach that does not adhere to principles, so the responsibility can only be borne by Secretary Yang himself.
However, I comforted him and said: "Some of the female cadres promoted are indeed capable. After all, what are their conditions?"
He shook his head, "How can some things be so simple now? Once something happens, who will look at the problem seriously? If something happens to a person, all his achievements will be erased, and all that will be shown to the world is
It’s stained. In China’s officialdom, winners have always been kings and losers have always been the losers, and success and failure are often mixed with political factors. Look at those big shots who have had trouble, which one didn’t fall because of political reasons?
When he falls, a lot of problems such as bribery, male-female relations, etc. come out, the people will say: So this person is so bad, he deserves to be punished! They will not even think about the contributions he made when he was on stage.
This is the reality of the society we live in."
I couldn't help but sigh.
He came to clink glasses with me again, and then we drank several glasses of wine in a row. At this time, in this dull atmosphere, no matter how good the wine was, it was bitter when it entered my mouth, and I already felt a sense of drunkenness.
.
I said: "Let's call it a day. If you drink any more, you will get drunk. Let's think about this matter again and see if there is any foolproof way. But I still think that maybe we are too worried, Secretary Chen
You should be able to think about the consequences of some things in the future. Maybe he is a little bloated and confused now, but he will get better after a while."
He shook his head, "Some things, once you start doing them, are difficult to stop. Many things are like this. Once they happen, they will be controlled by desire or others, and then you can only go on involuntarily." (
