After drinking tea for a while, after calming down, I picked up the phone and called Li Qian, "Are you in Shangjiang?"
She answered me: "Yeah."
I asked again: "Is it convenient for you to talk now? Is there anyone else around?"
She immediately said: "Oh, I'll call you later."
I immediately understood: it is not convenient for her to talk to me now. She is very smart and knows that what I want to tell her must be something that needs to be kept confidential.
Quickly, she called me and said, "Mayor Feng, please tell me. There were other people in the office just now."
I said, "Excuse me. Please take a look at the post about me in Shangjiang Bar. I want to know who is behind it."
She said in a very hesitant voice, "Mayor Feng, what is going on?"
I guess she misunderstood, "Xiao Li, you should believe me, that post is a complete rumor..."
Immediately, I told her what happened, and then said to her: "I don't want to be a fool. Xiao Li, the current situation in Shangjiang is very complicated. I originally wanted to concentrate on doing more things, but I didn't expect that someone would do it for me."
I have some purpose behind this conspiracy. Xiao Li, I’m sorry to bother you."
She said: "I believe you. I'll tell you after reading it."
I sincerely said to her: "Xiao Li, thank you. Thank you for your trust in me. I'm not asking you to do anything bad, I just want to protect myself. Do you know? In today's environment, even if
It's not that easy to be a good official. At the moment, I just want to protect myself. I can't think of spending money to treat guests to my office, and I will still be maliciously slandered. Xiao Li, I don't know anything else.
Thank you for saying more."
She said softly: "I understand."
I originally wanted to ask her if she needed anything, but I suddenly felt that it was hypocritical. I thought to myself: If she needs my help in the future, I will definitely try my best to help her without hesitation.
I hope she can feel the trust I have in her.
Li Qian's work was very efficient. She replied to me the next day, "Mayor Feng, I want to report the situation to you in person."
I asked her to come directly to my office.
I don't want to meet her alone outside. Shangjiang City is really undercurrent now, and I don't want to cause another trouble. I introduced Li Qian to work in Shangjiang City. It is normal for her to come to my office.
Moreover, the office is a place to work, and others will not think too much about it.
After she arrived, I didn't let her sit in the reception area, but directly asked her to sit opposite my desk. This seat is where subordinates often sit when they come to report to me.
Secretary Xiao Xu came in, made her a cup of tea, and then left. This is one of the secretary's jobs, and now he is becoming more and more skilled at what he should do.
I am still very satisfied with my secretary. He rarely talks, and what he writes makes me more and more satisfied. This is mainly because he likes to study. The longer he follows me, the better he becomes.
Becoming more and more able to adapt and keep up with my way of thinking, especially my speaking style.
As the executive deputy mayor, I will regularly speak at various meetings. A speech is not a speech. According to the rules of the officialdom, leaders should have speech drafts for their speeches in some formal occasions, and those who draft speeches for leaders should also
That's the secretary's job.
My speaking style is different from other leaders.
Generally speaking, leaders' speeches are all the same, and most of them have three parts: first, they want to emphasize how significant it is, and the title of this part is "Significance of attaching great importance to..."; then they talk about the situation, starting from the financial crisis,
The credit policy goes all the way to the transformation and upgrading of local enterprises. The title of this section is often "Recognize the form of..."; the last part is the measures, "pay close attention to... implement... highlight
..." and so on.
For a speech like this, even if it is taken out from a few years ago, at least about 50% of it can be recycled. No matter how you change it, it will just be a new soup without changing the medicine.
In fact, many leaders are very humorous and have their own language characteristics in life and daily work. However, once they come to power, what they say has to erase their personal characteristics and make it commensurate with their position. This is because they are worried that they will say something slightly inappropriate.
If you go too far, many people will talk about it and even make a fuss about it. Such an environment also forces leaders to talk empty words to avoid making mistakes.
Also, there is a type of people in the officialdom who only use lip service and know what to say and what not to say; or they only say things that are ambiguous and will not offend others; when dealing with problems, they always use "
"We will study it further", "We are investigating and dealing with it", etc.; when encountering fundamental problems, we will not express opinions casually and will not bear corresponding responsibilities. We call them "smart people" in official circles. Such people are very important today
The officialdom became popular, so talking about empty words and clichés became a common behavior, thought and way of life.
I don’t want to be like this. It’s not that I deliberately want to be new, but I am disgusted with the content of speeches like that. It has been like this since I was in the provincial recruitment office, and every speech I gave only talked about substantive things.
In fact, I hate meetings. Many things can be solved through a phone call or on-site office, and the effect will be better. Nowadays, meetings are all empty once we sit down, which wastes time and cannot solve the problem.
I don't care what others think of me on this issue. It's not a matter of principle, but a matter of one's style.
Xiao Xu has become accustomed to my speech pattern. At first, he also formatted my speech in that format, but I changed it into a mess. Now, he is even used to writing speeches in my usual tone, and
I can also get used to my usual thinking mode.
I like to use data, especially on issues of finance and taxation. I think data can best explain the problem, and it is also clear at a glance. I have a good memory and often speak out a string of sentences casually when speaking.
Data comes in, and the data can even be accurate to a few decimal places.
In fact, the people below are very welcome to this way of speaking, but I also know that some people will still gossip about me behind my back. For example, I heard Xiao Xu tell me in private that someone said that I did this behind my back.
It's just to be in the limelight, to show off one's abilities.
I just laughed at it, and I also told him: "A person should have his own style. Being in the limelight is not about things like this. Xiao Xu, do you think I am very high-profile in my daily life?"
He smiled and shook his head: "No. You are very low-key."
I immediately laughed, "That's it."
It is true that it is impossible for a person not to be discussed behind his back by others, but it depends on what kind of things those people are talking about.
At this moment, what I must figure out immediately is very important. This matter is related to my future safety. It is not my personal safety, but my future future.
Therefore, when Li Qian sat in front of me, I suddenly became a little nervous and had a kind of expectation. And this kind of nervousness and expectation made me impatient, "Li Qian, tell me, what will happen?"
What's the situation?"
She looked at me, "Mayor Feng, it's still the same person as last time. Did you notice? It's the same person who posted this time and last time."
I was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Last time I didn't remember who the person who posted the message was, so I didn't pay special attention to it this time..." At this point, I was shocked, "
You mean..."
She nodded to me, "Besides, this time he registered with his own ID card. His surname is Liu."
I was stunned again, because this was the result I least expected to see. It was already obvious that Mayor Liu had ordered his son to post the post. Maybe neither Mayor Liu nor his son had thought of it.
We can find the person who posted the message through the post. As his son, he probably doesn’t have that much careful thinking, and as for Mayor Liu himself, he probably doesn’t know much about the Internet at all.
That’s why they didn’t take any precautions against such things. (To be continued)
