But she is not stupid either. Now I can clearly feel that the reason why she said so much to me before was probably because of the following incident.
As for me, I can only try my best to help her.
Not to mention, she acted so fast. The Municipal Education Committee typed up the report that afternoon and sent it to me. I took the report to Mayor Zhu’s office and said, “Mayor Zhu, you still have to sign this report.
OK. I'll call the Provincial Admissions Office right away. This is your responsibility, so it's not appropriate for me to sign."
She smiled and said: "You are the executive deputy mayor, so you can sign it."
I immediately said to her seriously: "No. How can I sign the work you are in charge of? I know you think it doesn't matter, but if such a thing is spread, I will be discussed. We still follow the rules.
Come."
She looked at me and smiled, "Are you too cautious? Yes. I'll sign it. Then I'll ask them to send it to the Provincial Admissions Office as soon as possible. I'll leave you with the greetings."
I smiled and said, "Okay. What I promised will be done for you. But I can't guarantee that it will be done. I'll try my best."
She smiled and said, "You'll be fine. That's your base there, so what you say now will work just as well."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I really can't guarantee it, because I don't know if such a name complies with the regulations. To be honest, I have never encountered such a thing before when I was the director there. I'll try my best. Okay.
?"
She smiled and said: "Okay. Just do your best. Please."
The fundamental reason why I repeatedly told her this is: I don’t want to talk too much about one thing, and I ask myself to develop this habit from now on. Although I am very sure about this matter, and basically there is no problem
things, but I still have to answer the other party in this way. This is not cautious, but a principle.
After I returned to the office, I called Shanglongxing and told her about the Municipal Education Commission. Finally, I said: "Director Shang, is there no problem with this matter? If the name does not meet the regulations, you can
Come up with a name for us. I really don’t have any money, but we are in urgent need. We are too poor, so just give us poverty relief. Please.”
She immediately laughed, "What you said sounded so pitiful. Okay, I'll talk about it after reading the report. Don't worry, I will try my best to find a solution. Isn't it just a matter of hundreds of thousands of dollars? How big is it?
What's the matter?"
I laughed and said, "Director Shang, I know where you have money, but you don't know where I left from? Thank you so much."
She smiled and said, "Why are you thanking me? The money in our company was not earned when you were here? Now that you have spoken, how can I not do it? Besides, it is not your private matter."
Her words made people feel very comfortable after hearing them, which was one of her advantages. I immediately said: "I haven't seen you for a long time. When you have time, call the old director and let's sit down together."
She smiled and said, "Okay. I'll make the arrangements. Your city's finances are so difficult, how can I bear to let you treat me?"
I laughed.
Some things are like this, and the problem may be solved with just a phone call. Therefore, the relationship between people is very important in our country. Whether it is business or private matters, relationships often play a very important role in it.
I always feel a little awkward recently, because I have to report to Mayor Liu on some things I am doing, but every time I see him, I always have a very uncomfortable feeling in my heart. Mayor Zhu reminded me last time
I also thought that Mayor Liu had an ulterior motive when he told me about Su Wen, and he told me in front of the team members, which seemed to be intentional.
This made me suspect that he was trying to sow discord between Secretary Chen and me. I didn’t quite understand: He knew about my current relationship with Secretary Chen, so what was his purpose for doing this?
Is the rift between Secretary Chen and me not big enough?
No, he is trying to make others look down on me. If I really get along with Su Wen, it will not only make Secretary Chen more disgusted with me, but also make other people laugh at me. I guess there are already
Many people are rumoring behind the scenes that there is a problem with the relationship between Su Wen and Secretary Chen. In a place like this, rumors of such things must be very fast.
He is not a good person either. This sentence was said by Mayor Zhu, and she was talking about Mayor Liu. In fact, I have known it for a long time, since I learned about the things he did behind the scenes.
But it was impossible for me not to meet him, there was nothing I could do about it, and I had to hide my disgust for him deep in my heart.
I used to often report to Secretary Chen about my work, but now I don’t go there at all. In fact, now that I think about it, I feel that I didn’t have to report to him often before. I am from the city government, so why should I report to him?
Will he report?
Of course, this is just my imagination, after all, the situation at that time was different.
On this day, I went to report to Mayor Liu about financial work. The municipal finance has become increasingly tight recently. I listed several directories where I can ask for money from the provincial finance. This is because I carefully read the recent provincial documents and
After conducting research with the following departments, this method can at least temporarily alleviate our current difficulties, and we are very sure that we can get the money. After all, I can get the support of Governor Huang. Not to mention the provincial finance
The work meeting is about to be held, and this is a good opportunity for us to ask for money from above.
As a poor area, you must learn to ask for money from above at any time. This is a common practice in many poor areas. There are two prerequisites for doing this: first, thoroughly study the policy, and second, seize the opportunity.
There are many documents and policies in the province, so reading documents is also a skill. You must carefully understand the most critical contents, especially financial support. The content of documents is often not so obvious, and you need to carefully understand between the lines.
The opportunity is to find ways to get to know the leader of the project fund management department specified in the document, and it must be the main leader. This is also the key to getting the money.
On this day, when I reported these things to Mayor Liu, he said to me with great satisfaction: "Just go ahead and do it. Don't be afraid of spending money. It is very cost-effective to get a large amount of funds with a small amount of money."
.If you need me to come forward, just tell me at any time."
I nodded. He was telling the truth. It was the truth.
Then when I was about to leave, he stopped me and said, "Mayor Feng, don't be busy. Come, let's go sit over there. You and I haven't communicated for a long time, let's chat casually."
It was impossible for me to refuse, and at this time, I felt very uneasy because I was worried that he would soon talk to me about what happened at that Standing Committee meeting.
He and I went to sit on the sofa in the reception area. He lit a cigarette and then sighed and said: "Mayor Feng, to be honest, I am very happy because the organization has assigned me a good person like you."
Assistant. At the same time, I am also very grateful to you, because you have done so much work and made me feel a lot more relaxed. When I first came to work in the city government, I didn’t understand many things, so I relied on you to support me.
In the past, I sometimes had a bad temper, but you never cared about it. Mayor Feng, to be honest, I admire and respect you very much."
I never thought that he would say such words to me today, at this moment, which made me very surprised. At the same time, I felt nervous and frightened inside: What did he mean? I hurriedly said: "Liu
Mayor, please don’t say that. I am your deputy, and these are the things I should do. I, Feng Xiao, may not understand other things, but I always remind myself that I must understand the rules. According to the army
, that is, as a subordinate, you must learn to take a break and stand at attention at any time under the command of the leader. Mayor Liu, your words like this make me feel very scared."
He smiled and waved to me and said: "Mayor Feng, you are wrong. We are colleagues, why are you so scared? Am I that scary? You and I are close comrades, don't make things so awkward between us.
Well, actually, I also know that you are in a difficult situation, and I have been responsible for this matter before. Then I thought, what should I do if I were you? So I suddenly felt that I did some things rightly.
That's a bit too much. Look, didn't I change everything later? As long as it's your work, I'll give it my full support. Don't you think so?"
His words were very sincere, but I knew that he was just being hypocritical. But I could only cooperate with him to continue the scene, so I smiled and said to him: "If you say so, let me
I'm so ashamed. I actually didn't do well in some things in the past. But I really didn't have any bad intentions, it was just that I was too impatient at the time. At that time, the tasks put down by the municipal party committee were too heavy, and you had just passed the government
Coming here, I’m not very familiar with some of the situations. What I didn’t do well was that I didn’t report some of the situations to you in detail. So, the problem still lies with me.”
He waved his hand at me again, "Okay, stop talking. I know best what the problem is. Mayor Feng, how can I put it this way? Well, sometimes you are too cautious. What happened last time
You didn't participate in the Standing Committee, but you must know the situation now, right? Haha! Don't think too much, how could I believe that? I don't know what kind of person you are? You
The biggest advantage of this person is his duty, and he always does his own things in a down-to-earth manner. You wanted to stay away from right and wrong, but right and wrong have been following you. There is nothing you can do about it, unless you are not the executive deputy of our Shangjiang City
Mayor. So, I hope you won’t avoid some conflicts. What are you afraid of? As long as a person is selfless and fearless in his heart, your world will naturally be wider. I feel that I understand you quite well, and I won’t do it because of some people.
I'm suspicious of you because of your provocation. What's more, your and my positions are issues that need to be considered by the superior organizational department, even if you and I say it ourselves, it doesn't count. Do you think so?"
If I hadn't already learned about what he was doing behind the scenes, I would have been moved by his words at this time. But at this time, I had to be moved, and then I said: "Mayor Liu, thank you.
, thank you for your evaluation of me. You are right. I don’t have any ambitions. My principle is to do the present well and do all the work I am doing. As for other things, I don’t have any ambition at all.
I'm too lazy to take care of it. As I said before, you are the squad leader among the members of our team, and I am the deputy squad leader. It is my duty that the deputy squad leader obeys the squad leader, and I think I have been doing this, Liu
Mayor, please rest assured that I will always do this in the future. Because this is the principle of my life."
He nodded and said: "I completely believe what you said. I have no other intention to talk to you today. I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you. And I also want to tell you the truth in my heart, because I am very
I'm worried that what happened at that Standing Committee meeting affected your mood and even affected your enthusiasm for work. After hearing what you said just now, I feel completely relieved. Mayor Feng, I think, no matter what, we will all
We must put work first, but after all, we are the main leaders of the city government, and we must have certain decision-making power, right? Some people’s actions are indeed too much, and they are getting more and more excessive... ugh!"
I didn't answer.
I guess he must have really wanted me to talk at this time, but I just didn't because I didn't want to get involved in the conflict between him and Secretary Chen.
Maybe at this moment he was hoping that I would ask him why he had a falling out with Secretary Chen or something, and then use this to find out from me his dissatisfaction with Secretary Chen.
Of course I would not be fooled like this. So, I faced him with silence.
He felt my indifference, and then he waved to me gently and said: "Okay, Mayor Feng, we will have a chance to talk again in the future. I hope that next time we can be more honest with each other and have a more in-depth conversation."
.”
I politely said: "Okay."
Then he stood up and prepared to go out, but he stopped me again, "By the way, Mayor Feng, there is one more thing."
I looked at him but said nothing.
He looked at me, and then said slowly: "Minister Lin from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee recently had a talk with me."
I was very surprised, but my face remained calm, "Oh."
Maybe he didn't expect me to be so unresponsive, so he forced out a smile, waved to me and said, "It's okay, I'll just say whatever."
I smiled at him and said, "Mayor Liu, I'll go back to the office then."
He didn't say anything else, so I turned around immediately. After leaving his office, I immediately felt relaxed all over my body, and I secretly felt a little funny in my heart: My behavior just now must have made him feel very depressed.
Indeed, when a person has a lot of things in his heart that he wants to say to others and wants to get it off his chest, only to find that others are not interested in listening to him at all, it would be very frustrating.
I didn't mean to do this, but I really didn't want to get involved in the conflict between him and Secretary Chen. Although I was curious about his inner thoughts, I had to restrain this curiosity in my heart. Because
I know that curiosity like this will definitely bring endless trouble to myself.
I have told both Lin Yu and Governor Huang about Mayor Liu and Secretary Chen, so they fully understand the situation. As for why Lin Yu wanted to talk to Mayor Liu, what exactly did she talk to him? Now I
I'm not particularly interested. I'm thinking, if I want to know these things, it's very simple, just a phone call is enough.
But I won’t ask Lin Yu for the time being, because I’m thinking: If Lin Yu thinks there is something that I need to know, she will definitely tell me, and there is no need for me to ask her deliberately.
But now I am more convinced of the correctness of my previous analysis: Mayor Liu is not trying to do anything to Secretary Chen, maybe he really just wants to have some power of his own. (To be continued)
