I was thinking: She actually knew that Li Wenwu had told me that he wanted me to fall in love with her. In other words, she came to tell me about this today to express her affection for me.
But it is impossible for me to establish that kind of relationship with her. Although she is beautiful, I have no feelings for her. What's more, there is also the problem of Secretary Chen. Zhu Dan's matter has already made him very dissatisfied with me. I
It's impossible to cause the same trouble again.
Then I started thinking about the taxi incident again. Of course I believed what Su Wen said, but I just pretended not to believe it in front of her. This kind of pretending not to believe is necessary, because I don’t want Su Wen to think that I
He was deliberately trying to make things difficult for Secretary Chen.
But there is a sense of relief in my heart: now it seems that nothing has happened between Su Wen and Secretary Chen, and Su Wen has also realized that she cannot do that. Maybe she cannot and does not dare to refuse Secretary Chen's pursuit of her, so
I had to deal with the situation.
I hope she can stick to her bottom line.
I was about to leave the office and go to eat, but just then Minister Wu called me, "I heard that you are having a meeting today, right?"
I said: "Yes."
Then I thought: Is it possible that he also knows what happened today? It won’t be so soon, right?
He asked me: "You don't have any other plans for lunch, right? If you don't have any other plans, let's go to Mr. Liu's place for lunch."
I smiled and said, "Okay. His food is delicious." Suddenly, I remembered something, "Are Mr. Liu and Mayor Liu related in any way?"
He immediately laughed, "No. Why do you think so?"
I couldn't help but laugh, "Aren't they all named Liu?"
He laughed, and then said to me: "I'll drive to pick you up. Today we're going to talk to Mr. Liu about the temple reconstruction."
I was a little surprised, "What about the temple reconstruction? Is there something wrong now?"
He said: "There is a small problem. Let's talk about it when we meet."
Minister Wu's car was parked under the municipal government office building. After I got in the car, I asked him, "How did you know we were having a meeting today?"
He smiled and said: "Many people know about your government's affairs. I had dinner with several leaders last night, including Mayor Zhu. She said you would have a meeting today."
I knew that he deliberately put that sentence at the top, and then I asked him: "Many people know about our affairs? What do you mean by this?"
He smiled and said: "Anyway, many of your things will be spread. In Shangjiang City, nothing is a secret."
I smiled and said: "That's true. There are actually many people who care about politics nowadays. Maybe they are not concerned about politics itself, but more because they feel a sense of mystery about officialdom. In the final analysis, this is actually a manifestation of the worship of power.
."
He smiled and nodded: "That seems to be the truth."
I asked him: "Do you know the content of our meeting today?"
He shook his head and said: "How could it be possible to know so quickly? Tell me, what issues have you studied today?"
I immediately laughed, "I know how our affairs spread, like now."
He laughed.
I immediately told him the contents of today’s meeting, especially the taxi matter. This is not something that needs to be kept secret, because the contents of the government executive meeting will be recorded in minutes, and some contents will be formed into official documents.
After I finished, I asked him: "Minister Wu, do you think I did something wrong?"
He sighed and shook his head, "Mayor Feng, you should know that how can things now be completely measured by right or wrong? You are definitely not wrong about this matter. The fault is that someone did not communicate with you beforehand. This is
Problem."
I nodded and said, "Yes. However, even if Mayor Liu communicated with me beforehand, I would not agree. Our car project will start production soon, and we will definitely need government support at the beginning. We
If you don’t support who will support you? I just don’t understand. As the main leader of the city, why is he so selfish? Is money really that important to him? Does he think money is more important than his own future?
Is it important? You know, if he does that, something will probably happen?"
He said: "Actually, there are many leaders like him, and how many of them actually get into trouble? What's more, his behavior may require money. How can you play with women without spending money?"
I didn't expect him to speak so directly. This is not his usual style. From this, I could feel that he despised that person from the bottom of his heart, or at least did not respect him.
Being respected on the surface, but being despised on the inside is actually a tragedy of being a leader.
I kept laughing, "That's true."
He sighed and said, "Now that Lao Chen is reaching out everywhere, I'm really worried for him."
I asked hurriedly: "What projects has he extended his hands to?"
He replied: "Anyway, they are all city projects, as well as some private enterprise projects. We rejected him last time and he stopped coming to us. Now it seems that we have completely offended him."
I sighed and said, "Let him do whatever he wants. But I didn't expect that his courage would get bigger and bigger like this."
He said: "He is smarter now. It is said that he now invites the owners to dinner and lets the boss who does the project pay the bill. He doesn't talk about that kind of thing at the dinner table. But people can tell at a glance that he and the boss
The relationship between them. Do you think they dare not sell their accounts?"
I smiled faintly, "I won't sell it anyway."
He smiled and said: "How many people like you are there in our Shangjiang City? I don't even dare. Last time I had to ask you to help me withstand it. Alas! There is no way. I am a senior official.
Crushing people to death."
I fell silent for a moment. I thought this topic was too depressing. At this time, I heard him who was driving next to me continue to say: "Mayor Feng, did you know? He is the engineering guy who came to see you last time.
Boss, he is so awesome now. He tells people everywhere that he and Secretary Chen are good friends. Now the heads of many departments are respectful when they see him. Nowadays, there is no need for Chen to do things in person in many projects.
I came forward. It is said that one time when a project of a unit was evaluating bids, another company's bid was quite beautifully done. Both the construction procedures and the quoted prices were very standard and reasonable. The expert group was all in favor of which company would win the bid.
As a result, the boss appeared at the bidding site at this time. He didn't say anything, he just showed his face. Mayor Feng, do you know what the result was? Party A immediately greeted the expert group! This boss's
The company won the bid!”
I was immediately stunned, "How could this happen?"
He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "When people saw him, they actually saw Lao Chen behind him. Who dares not to let him win the bid? Unless he doesn't want to continue sitting in that seat. Actually, last time Lao Chen refused to let Liu
When the mayor's man becomes the traffic director, he is showing it to the people below, which means he has absolute authority over the people he employs."
I nodded, "Yes. But if Lao Chen does this, it will easily intensify some conflicts, and then he will not be far away from the day when something happens. Unless he has no political opponents, otherwise he will be doomed. Even if he
Even if he is Governor Wang's secretary, there will still be problems, after all, there is Secretary Fang above Governor Wang."
He said: "Yes. Didn't the last incident involving Lao Wen involve Governor Wang's secretary? Governor Wang certainly wouldn't dare to be too biased towards Lao Chen."
I deeply agreed, "Yes, that's right. So we should be particularly careful now and not let go of certain things even if we continue to offend him. Of course, I will not report his problems to the superiors. I feel that I can stay on my own."
That’s your duty.”
He nodded, "Yes. The most taboo thing in officialdom is to complain. This was originally a very ridiculous thing, but it has become a rule in officialdom. A few years ago, one of our cadres reported someone in his unit
The leader accepted bribes, and it was later found out that this was true. At that time, this cadre was rated as a model of integrity. However, this cadre was not reused, and he was always marginalized in the unit. As a result, he had no choice but to go to the coast to do business. Alas.
!That’s how things are now, abnormal things are normal, and normal things are abnormal.”
I immediately laughed, "Old Wu, why have you become so negative? Actually, there are still many upright people in the officialdom, such as yourself. Don't you think this is wrong?"
He laughed "haha", "It's not that it's negative, it's really that today's society is too abnormal. A society needs positive energy to support it. If things continue like this for a long time, the future of our country is really not optimistic."
I said: "There is a saying in the past: a gentleman becomes a gentleman, and a villain becomes a villain in vain. You and I just have to be on our own. We can't change some of the rules that have been formed in this society, so let's try to change ourselves."
He asked me: "A gentleman becomes a gentleman, and a villain becomes a villain in vain... What does it mean?"
I smiled and said: "The meaning of this sentence is that to be a gentleman, you don't need to do anything else or put in any special effort. You just need to do your duty and do it openly, and you will naturally become a gentleman. So
You say you got it. What a bargain! As for being a villain, no matter how much scheming, calculations, and methods you use, you still get nothing in the end. Instead, you end up with the name of a villain, and you are called a villain.
You look down on people, tell me whether they are wronged or not? Therefore, it is not worthwhile to be a villain, so it is better to be a gentleman." (To be continued)
