In fact, we often make such mistakes easily, and such mistakes often make people feel incredible afterwards. This is a situation that often occurs to us: something is obviously not far away in front of us, but we just can’t see it.
.
This is also a psychological phenomenon.
The so-called darkness under the lamp means that the lamp illuminates the distance, but always leaves a small shadow near the nearest side that cannot be illuminated. The extension to our lives is that people tend to ignore the situations or things around them, causing problems.
But you can't see unexpected shadows around you, which creates a blind spot in your thinking.
This phenomenon is ubiquitous. For example, in the decisive battle of Yao and Qinghai during the reign of Emperor Yongzheng, it took him three years to encircle the rebels, but suddenly he could not find the main force of the enemy's 100,000 troops. It turned out that he had forgotten it because of the darkness under the lamp.
The enemy troops were hidden in the large temple in front of him, and they could also obtain a steady supply of food and grass through that temple. Later, it was only after being reminded by others that Nian Gengyao suddenly woke up and eliminated the rebels in one fell swoop.
.
Secretary Rong has just arrived here, so she is still an outsider, so it is not surprising that she can see the problems. But this also shows that she carefully studied the situation here before coming to Shangjiang City.
.
Next, I said a few simple words, which were conventional statements. Although they were not as long as Secretary Yang's speech, the meaning was roughly the same.
Minister Wu, oh, no, he is now Mayor Wu. He just expressed his position briefly. In fact, I should have said a few more words, but because the deputy minister spoke for a long time today,
Later, everyone's statement in the United States took up a lot of time, so it was already past the time to get off work.
In the evening, there was a dinner to receive the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and to send off Chen and Liu. I could only do this. And County Magistrate Wu’s brief speech was a sign of respecting the rules. I am the top leader of the government, and he is mine.
Deputy, how can you speak more than me? This is also the rule of officialdom.
Of course, the evening banquet will be arranged in the best hotel in Shangjiang City. I have discussed today’s dinner with the Municipal Party Committee Office and the Municipal Government Office, and the scene is quite big. Among the current Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee members, I am the most
Because I was the only one who came forward to arrange this matter.
In the evening, in addition to the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and his party, the banquet was attended by the chief and deputy leaders of the four major families in our city and the secretary-generals and deputy secretaries-general of the general offices of the four major families. My idea is very simple, I don’t want Chen
, Liu and Yang left in such a dull atmosphere. In any case, as Secretary Chen himself said, they still made a great contribution to Shangjiang City.
Before the banquet started, I went to Secretary Rong specifically to ask for instructions. I said to her: "Today's theme is to receive the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, and to send off the three leaders to take up their new positions. Secretary Rong, welcome you to the banquet
We have made temporary arrangements. Now that you are the top leader in our city, I have to ask you to host the banquet tonight."
She smiled and said to me: "I don't need everyone to hold a banquet to welcome me. From now on, we are colleagues, so there is no need to be so polite. Okay, I will host the banquet today. That's fine, I can get straight to work."
Already."
I immediately said to her: "Secretary Rong, I'm sorry. Because your appointment was announced just now, I didn't ask you in advance for the arrangements for tonight's banquet..."
So I told her the scope of today's banquet arrangement and my thoughts. After hearing this, she nodded and said: "Mayor Feng, you should arrange it this way. Since it is a farewell dinner, it should be lively.
By the way, Mayor Feng, you don’t have to report everything to me in the future. The work of your government should be independent, and our municipal party committee should grasp it from a macro perspective. Haha! We don’t have time to discuss it in detail today. We will discuss it another day.
Let’s talk about these things slowly when we have free time.”
She spoke in a low and soft voice, with a slight smile on her face, but I could clearly feel the majesty of power emanating from her words and her whole body.
Power is both intangible and tangible. It has nothing to do with a person's gender, and is not proportional to the size of a person's voice. As long as a person holds that kind of power, it doesn't matter whether he is a man or not.
If you are still a woman, power will be expressed very directly.
But I feel that she should be better than Secretary Chen. And I also believe that as a woman, the possibility of inner expansion is much smaller. After all, there are very few women like Wu Zetian and Cixi in history.
We booked the two largest private rooms in the hotel restaurant. In addition to the guests from the province, there were more than 30 main leaders of the four families, plus the heads of the four offices, a total of six tables were set up.
The scene was very lively. The only shortcoming was that today we gave too much enthusiasm to the leaders of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. However, there is no way to do this, because such work transfers are not the same for Secretary Chen and Mayor Liu.
It was a decent thing, so it was not appropriate to arrange a farewell banquet for them alone, and I also thought that with the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department present, Chen and Liu would not go crazy on the spot.
Secretary Rong gave a speech first, and then the banquet officially started. Secretary Rong suggested that everyone raise their glasses, and then first toasted the leaders and entourage of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, and then she proposed that everyone toast Chen, Liu, and Yang together.
Then everyone goes to toast them individually.
I first went to pay tribute to the deputy minister. After I said the toast, the deputy minister smiled and said to me: "Mayor Feng, I have heard of you a long time ago. Do your best and don't let down the organization."
above what is expected of you.”
I thanked him repeatedly and drank the wine in the glass with him. Then I went to toast his entourage. Then I smiled and said to Secretary Rong: "Secretary Rong, I will not toast your wine today. Let's wait for another day."
."
She smiled and said: "Don't respect me. You have a very important task tonight."
In fact, it's not impossible for me to toast her, it's just a matter of having one more drink, but today's theme is very clear. If I toast her first, I will put Secretary Chen in the third batch.
At this moment, Secretary Chen must be very angry, frustrated, or even hating me very much, so I must complete my established procedures as soon as possible.
I picked up the wine glass and went to Secretary Chen, "Secretary Chen, I want to toast you. Thank you for your education and help all the time."
He stood up with a gentle smile on his face, "Mayor Feng, I should thank you. Not only are you young and promising, I should learn more from you in the future."
I immediately felt that there was a harsh sarcasm in his words, but his words were not too much. I said to him respectfully: "Secretary Chen, I won't say more about some words, but I am very
I hope you can still regard me as your friend in the future."
He didn't speak, but came directly to clink glasses with me and said, "Drink!"
He and I drank it all at the same time.
I was about to leave to toast Mayor Liu, but I was immediately stopped by Secretary Chen, "Mayor Feng, let's have another drink."
I suddenly felt excited and flattered, so I hurriedly asked the waiter to pour us wine. He held the wine glass, then looked at me and said, "Mayor Feng, I don't blame you."
At this moment, I suddenly felt a sudden emotion in my heart, and this emotion actually made my voice choked up, "Secretary Chen, I didn't do well before. I'm sorry.
.Now I often think, maybe I can still..."
Before I could finish speaking, he immediately stopped me with his gesture, "Stop talking, come on, let's drink."
We drank it all again.
Then he said: "Come on, let's have another drink."
The waiter poured us wine again, but this time he came directly to clink glasses with me, and then just said: "Don't say anything, drink!"
We drank again. Then he said to me: "Thank you."
I also sincerely said to him: "Thank you!"
At this moment, I really felt the inexplicable thing between men. Maybe this kind of thing should be called tolerance, or maybe it should be called heroic. No, it should be the revival of the friendship between us.
I went to Mayor Liu, and he seemed to hesitate for a moment before standing up. I smiled and said to him: "Mayor Liu, I respect you. While working with you, some of my work was not done well. I hope
You forgive me."
He looked at me and smiled faintly, "Mayor Feng, you are too polite. Now I really feel that there is a saying that is right: The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front. The predecessors plant trees and the descendants enjoy the shade. Haha! I said far away
Yes. Mayor Feng, you have done a great job, and I admire you very much."
His words seemed a little unclear and incomprehensible, but I completely understood the meaning of his words. In fact, he just didn't say it out loud - the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole behind. I still smiled slightly at him
He said: "Mayor Liu, I admire you even more. At first, I simply thought that you were not familiar with the work of the government. Later I discovered that your level is actually very high, but you are too
Being low-key, many things are done without showing off."
He was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly and said: "Thank you. Come, let's drink. We will keep in touch more in the future."
I smiled and said, "Of course. You can call me anytime you come back to Shangjiang in the future. You will always be my old leader."
After he drank it, he smiled slightly and said, "Thank you!"
Then I arrived in front of Secretary Yang. He had already stood up. He was raising his glass to me and said to me with a smile on his face: "Mayor Feng, let's have a drink today. We will have many opportunities to drink in the future."
I smiled and said to him: "That's for sure. I hope we will have more contact in the future."
He came and patted my arm, "Thank you!"
We looked at each other and smiled after drinking.
In fact, I know that although he was calm this time, he has completely escaped from the risks that he once worried about, so he should be feeling lucky in his heart, and he also treats me more or less because of this.
There is a feeling of gratitude.
Another thing I also know is that he has been looking at me with a downward gaze. Since I arrived in Shangjiang City, I have been asking him for advice on many issues, so it is also normal for him to have that kind of mentality.
It's natural. Maybe there is a kind of melancholy in his heart that his talents are not appreciated.
Of course, this is just a guess on my part, but judging from his situation today, his mentality should still be very peaceful.
After drinking this round, I felt very sober and didn't feel any discomfort. I guess it was because I was quite excited today. However, I kept reminding myself not to reveal my inner excitement too much. I must try my best to
Keep a low profile and try to be as calm as usual.
Secretary Chen drank a lot that night, and he talked a lot. On the surface, he didn't seem to care about the adjustment of his position in the organization, because he was always talking and laughing at the wine table, and there were many
I went to toast the deputy minister and secretary Rong for the first time. But I knew in my heart that he was actually covering up the loss and sadness in his heart by doing so. Perhaps, he was also blaming the injustice of the world and lamenting in his heart.
Your own talents are not recognized, and heroes have no place to use them...
In fact, from ancient times to the present, there have been many people like him who think that their talents have not been appreciated and that heroes have no place to use themselves. It is precisely because of this that they stay, such as "The ancients have never been seen before, and the newcomers have never been seen after. Thinking about the long journey of heaven and earth, I feel sad."
And burst into tears.", "Back then, I was searching thousands of miles for a title, and I was garrisoning Liangzhou on horseback. Where did Guanhe dream end? The dust is dark and the old mink fur is dark. Hu is not extinct, and the temples are autumn first, and the tears are empty. Who would have expected in this life, what is in my heart?
Tianshan, I live in Cangzhou!" and other sad famous sentences.
I can't help but sigh.
However, I have always recognized a saying: There is no such thing as underappreciated talent, only people who don’t know how to promote themselves; the truth behind underappreciated talent is that you are not good enough and don’t work hard enough.
I was excited for a long time that night. After all, I finally became a regular employee. But the next day I still got up early as usual, and then went to the canteen of the municipal government office to have breakfast as usual.
Not long after I got to work, I received a call from Secretary Rong, "Mayor Feng, do you have time now? If so, please come to my office."
I hurriedly said: "I'll be right over."
Her office is still the same one that Secretary Chen had before, but the owner has changed. No, her secretary is no longer the same secretary as Secretary Chen, but a lesbian in her twenties.
After I entered, she very politely invited me to sit on the sofa, and then she sat across from me. She smiled and said to me: "Mayor Feng, I'm sorry, mainly because I wanted to get into work earlier, so I
I can’t wait to invite you here.”
I smiled and said: "You should. Just ask, I will tell you everything. Oh, by the way, Secretary Rong, I don't think I should use the honorific title for you because you are a female leader and you are still so young. I use the honorific title."
I'm afraid I'd call you too old."
She immediately laughed and said, "That's good. You will slowly get to know me in the future. I don't particularly care about those things."
I heard clearly that what she said was that she "didn't particularly care". But I also felt that such small things didn't require her to be particularly concerned about. Of course, I also understood another meaning of her words: some things
She was still very concerned about it.
Then she asked me some information about Shangjiang City, and I told her everything truthfully. She listened carefully while taking notes.
Later, she put down her notebook, then raised her head and looked at me with a smile on her face, "Mayor Feng, I want to hear your thoughts on something. I heard that Secretary Chen promoted a lot when he was in office.
Female cadre, how do you think we should handle this matter now?"
I didn't expect that she would ask such a question for the first time she talked to me today, which immediately made me deeply embarrassed... (To be continued)
