It was actually a matter of time before this matter was pushed to the new Municipal Party Committee Secretary, but Secretary Chen never thought that this day would come so soon. As Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he certainly has the full power to decide the future of everyone in his subordinate departments.
, but once such power is regarded as a kind of private right, problems arise.
The privatization of public rights is actually a long-standing phenomenon in the officialdom, and this phenomenon is also one of the root causes of corruption.
Public power should come from the people's authorization and consent, and can only be used to serve public interests and people's interests. However, once it is restructured by officials and completed privatization, due to the mobilization of power, the control of resources
Ability, so it actually becomes a treasure gourd in the hands of officials. As long as it is sacrificed, they can get whatever they want.
It is precisely because of the omnipotent nature of the gourd of power that everything comes with power. Therefore, many officials do not really care whether they are abusing their power, but only care about the consequences of power in the process of abusing their power.
of pleasure.
Moreover, over the years, the generalization, deepening, and root causes of corruption are all related to the privatization of power. The result of the privatization of power is that numerous profit-sharing groups have appeared in Chinese society, and they are like malignant tumors parasitic on the country.
and social health, relying on society for survival but greatly damaging society.
Why is public power privatized? Ultimately, this is because of the lack of supervision and checks and balances on power. There is a lack of horizontal supervision and checks and balances between power agencies of different natures, and a lack of bottom-up vertical supervision and checks and balances from the public.
.
The only effective way of supervision is top-down vertical supervision. However, since this kind of supervision cannot overcome the dilemma of power asymmetry and information asymmetry faced by a small number of people supervising the majority, its actual effectiveness has been greatly reduced.
a discount.
Therefore, Secretary Chen's original behavior was ultimately a kind of unscrupulous randomness. Perhaps he never thought about how much trouble his randomness might bring to the next generation.
However, I did not expect that the new municipal party committee secretary in front of me would start to deal with this matter on the first day she took office. I immediately thought that maybe she was thinking about this matter from two levels -
First, maybe she heard a lot of people talking about this matter and felt that it had greatly damaged the image of the municipal party committee. It is a routine and even a necessity for new officials to take office with three things in mind, because this is a new official.
It is the simplest and most effective way for an incoming official to establish his prestige. Therefore, it is possible that she wants to start from this matter.
There are several advantages to starting from this matter. First, it can establish the fair and impartial image of the Municipal Party Committee in employment issues. Second, it can send a signal to the cadres and the masses: the new Municipal Party Committee Secretary generally recognizes the work of his predecessor, but at the same time he also believes that
My predecessor had a big problem with hiring people.
This clearly separates Secretary Chen's reform of Shangjiang City from his personal ethics. In addition, the greatest expression of power as the Municipal Party Committee Secretary is in the use of human rights, so it is even more important for her to start from this place.
It is easy to establish one's prestige quickly.
Secondly, I think there are personal reasons for this. Because she is a woman, and as a woman, the most disgusting thing is that men are unscrupulous when it comes to women.
I once read a survey. As women, the number one type of men they hate most is playboys. The second number is men who are dishonest. Men without money are ranked second.
After ranking 20th among the types that women don’t like.
As a member of the officialdom, she may have been numb to the issue of men's style in the officialdom, but she would definitely be extremely disgusted with using public power to do such things.
Of course, these are just my personal guesses, but now, since she has asked me this question, I have to answer her. But I said something else before answering her. I said: "Secretary Rong
, this matter... haha! After all, I am also a member of the Standing Committee. I was also there when this issue was studied. Some of them I agreed to, and some I abstained from. So, I can’t say much about this matter.
.”
This is actually an attitude that I must express in advance, but I also know that since she has asked me this question, it is impossible for me to avoid it.
Sure enough, she immediately said with a smile: "Mayor Feng, I have learned about many situations. Under such circumstances at that time, it was impossible for you to disagree. After all, that was what the municipal party committee secretary meant. But I also know,
Among all the Standing Committee members at that time, except for Mayor Liu, you were the one who often opposed those unreasonable issues. But I also know that you are different from Mayor Liu at the time. Mayor Liu had a strong sense of
Personal emotions, but you are not. You are a person who pays attention to fairness and impartiality in doing things, and you will directly raise things that you don’t like or think are incorrect. So many people say that you are a very upright official with great ability.
You are still very strong. To be honest, Mayor Feng, the organization asked me to come here to be the secretary of the municipal party committee. The pressure on my heart was quite great. But after the organization introduced your situation to me, I immediately put it down.
My heart is coming. Haha! Mayor Feng, with a mayor like you here, my future work pressure will not be too great. From now on, if you boldly let it go, I will not do it under normal circumstances.
If you interfere too much in the work of your government, I am the secretary of the municipal party committee and can control the overall situation. To be honest, Shangjiang City did a pretty good job some time ago. The geographical conditions of the province are relatively good, but the economy is not
It is a very backward city. It is not easy for you to overcome many obstacles in such a short period of time, find ways to raise so much funds, and make the city's reforms effective so quickly. This is something that only Lao Chen can do.
Such courage. Of course, this also includes the joint efforts of you and the government team. Especially you, Mayor Feng, as the executive deputy mayor, you have raised so much funds under such difficult circumstances, and you
It is not easy to make an industrial park prosperous in such a short period of time."
I hurriedly said: "Secretary Rong, I just did the job I was supposed to do. The main thing is that the municipal party committee led well. To be honest, if it hadn't been for Secretary Chen's strong support and the extremely loose policies he gave us, there would be no
With his advanced awareness, our work could not have been done so well. But then... ugh!"
She nodded and said: "That's right, you speak very objectively. I think the most important thing in a place is not necessarily economic development, but the employment of people, because talents are the most important factor that determines everything. As long as the human problems are solved
Okay, then any other problems can be solved naturally. This problem is more likely to be a problem of the system. Under the current system of our country, we can do better instead of waiting for the system to change.
Then do some things later. I often think that since our country originally designed such a system, this itself shows that such a system still has its basis and necessity for existence. Now, of course, our system is due to the development of the times.
There have been some problems, but the main body of them should not have big problems. The key to the problem is whether the people who implement the policy follow principles."
I kept nodding. To be honest, what she said was the most positive thing I had ever heard. But at the same time, I felt that her words were very reasonable and objective. In the final analysis, what she said represented a kind of
Positive and sunny, but my thoughts were filled with too much negativity and darkness. I said: "Secretary Rong, you talked so well. This is indeed the problem, but in today's society we have to be like you.
It’s difficult to say that.”
She nodded, "Yes, it's difficult. But this requires our first-level party committee and government leaders to stick to the bottom line, otherwise, the people will completely lose confidence in us. Mayor Feng, I'm sorry, I
The topic has gone too far. Let’s go back to the previous topic. The issue of employment is very important. The root cause of the corruption we currently have lies in the corruption of employment. Corruption in employment is fundamental.
After all, this is the beginning of power corruption, which then spreads to corruption on other issues. Therefore, I don’t want to delay this matter. This problem must be solved first. Mayor Feng, what do you think about this?
Do you have different views on the issue? I think that on this issue, we must first reach a consensus, and then quickly make corrections and re-establish the bad image of our Shangjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government as soon as possible.
.This is very critical."
It seems that she has made up her mind a long time ago. I thought to myself. But I suddenly became a little worried... I thought about it and said: "Secretary Rong, let me talk about my thoughts. If I can
If I’m wrong, please criticize and correct me.”
She smiled and said, "Aren't I asking for your opinion in private? In the final analysis, it's just the two of us exchanging opinions. We should tell everything we know and do what we say. Right, Mayor Feng?"
I laughed too, and then said: "Secretary Rong, first of all, I think your idea is correct. But to be honest, I don't think every female comrade we promote is unqualified. There are still some among them.
It’s very good. So, my opinion is very simple, that is, don’t overdo it.”
She looked at me, with a smile still on her face, "Tell me, what do you mean by overcorrecting?"
I replied: "It's very simple, that is, we need to treat them differently. Those who are really capable, qualified during their term of office, and have good opinions from the masses will continue to stay in their posts. Those with poor abilities and those with strong opinions from the masses will be treated accordingly."
Just deal with the situation.”
She shook her head and said: "Mayor Feng, I think your words are a bit general. For example, the director of the Municipal Culture Bureau who has just been approved by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. Her name is Ou Qing, right? Does she have the ability? Yes.
I know. But is she really suitable to be the director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau? I think she is not even qualified to continue to be the leader of the cultural troupe. Mayor Feng, tell me, what does she look like as the leader of the cultural troupe? Forget it.
Sorry, I won’t say anything unpleasant. However, should such people be treated differently? I’m afraid that’s not possible, right?” (To be continued)
