She smiled and asked me: "I heard that you didn't even sell Secretary Chen's account before, so you offended him. Is that true?"
My heart suddenly jumped. Her question was obviously not that simple. I could feel that there seemed to be another meaning in her words: So, will you give me the face of the municipal party committee secretary?
I hurriedly said: "Secretary Rong, you may not know the situation at that time. Secretary Chen was able to listen to everyone's opinions at the beginning, but later it became inflated. Not only did he deal with many principle issues at will,
, and being directly involved in the bidding process made me feel a lot of pressure and risk.
In that case, I had no choice but to offend him, because I didn’t want to shirk responsibility after something happened. Secretary Rong, I think I have always known the rules. Whether it was for Secretary Chen or in the previous article
This was true in front of the mayor, and later Mayor Liu. But there are some things... haha! I really don’t know how to explain it."
She nodded in thought, and then said to me: "Mayor Feng, can you tell me about your previous work?"
I smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, my previous work can be summed up in one sentence, that is: I am in a dilemma, and I am not a human being inside and outside. Secretary Rong, I don't want to boast about the great achievements of my previous work, but at least I am
I tried my best, but they still thought I was dissatisfied. The situation was the same before, with the secretary and the mayor being at odds. As the executive deputy mayor, I was caught in the middle and it was very difficult."
She said: "Yes, if the party and the government are at odds, it will be difficult for the people below to deal with it. Mayor Feng, there shouldn't be such problems between us, right?"
I felt nervous again, and now I realized that our conversation today has become very important. In fact, she was trying to find out my bottom, or in other words, she was trying to understand my true attitude towards her. I said immediately: "
Secretary Rong, please rest assured about this.
I still say the same thing, I know the rules and I have always considered the overall situation. Of course, I also have many shortcomings, but I will never confront my boss on work issues.
Even in the past, when Secretary Chen was very disgusted with me, I still respected him very much, but my approach was to avoid conflicts with him as much as possible, and I also tried to agree with his approach on many issues.
Secretary Rong, you are different from him, I have already felt this.
First, I think you are a very generous person and can tolerate the shortcomings of your subordinates. Second, when you discover the problems of your subordinates, you will immediately raise them with them and communicate with them. Third, you are very principled and at the same time
You are good at uniting people. Fourth, you consider problems very carefully and have a strong overall view."
She immediately laughed and said, "Mayor Feng, you are so good at talking. Am I that good?"
I said seriously: "Secretary Rong, what I told you is the truth. I really didn't mean to flatter you. Let's take our conversation today as an example. First of all, you talked to me based on the principle of trusting me very much. That's why
I was very moved, and because of this, I was able to express my true thoughts in front of you, and you also asked me so many questions directly.
I think this is very good. I am your deputy, it is my duty to support you and cooperate with your work, so I implore you to remind me like you did today when you find any problems with me in the future, or directly
Criticize me. Secretary Rong, I think this method is the best."
She smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, I am also a straight-tempered person. I was very happy to hear what you said just now. Don't be offended. The main reason is that I don't know much about the past things in Shangjiang City. Even though I know some
The situation was also told to me by others. Mayor Feng, I agree with what you just said, that is, I trust you, otherwise I would not have asked you those questions in front of you."
I said: "Thank you, Secretary Rong."
Our conversation lasted a long time, and we became more sincere as time passed. Of course, I still paid attention to the propriety of my words, because she was always my leader, and this must not be forgotten.
However, I decided to have a good talk with Yu Yong in the near future, because I really don’t understand what Secretary Rong told me.
It happened that the next day was the weekend. After I returned to the provincial capital, I called Yu Yong and asked him to rush to the provincial capital immediately. I told him that I had something very important to talk to him about.
Later we met in a restaurant. I ordered a bottle of red wine.
He didn't ask me the reason why I asked him to come when he met me. At this point, he still understands the rules.
When I raised my glass to him, I said to him: "Yu Yong, I came to you today to ask you a few questions. I hope you can answer me truthfully. Maybe you will let me know after you answer me truthfully."
I feel a lot of pressure, but I am willing to bear that pressure because you are the person I value most."
He looked at me inexplicably, "Mayor Feng, I don't understand what you mean."
I said to him: "Come, let's eat food and drink first. We'll talk about things while eating. Don't be so nervous, but you must answer me truthfully."
He said: "Mayor Feng, maybe I won't tell the truth in everything in front of other leaders, but I will definitely not lie to you."
I nodded, "I believe you. So let me ask you the first question now: When you were the CEO of the company, did you do anything that violated your principles? Or even violated discipline or law?"
He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No. Mayor Feng, I have never done this. Not to mention that you manage the company's affairs very strictly, I would not do it even to repay your kindness.
To do something like that.”
I raised my glass to him, "Okay. That's good."
After we drank some wine and ate some food, I asked him the second question, "Yu Yong, I heard that you greeted Party B and asked your father-in-law to provide Party B with materials. This matter has
?"
He immediately laughed and said, "Mayor Feng, it is true that my father-in-law provided materials to Party B, but I can guarantee with my personality that this matter was not my greeting to Party B. And I did not say hello to Party B either.
I found out later that I went to ask my father-in-law to terminate the contract with Party B, but my father-in-law told me that the matter between him and Party B was a contract he signed after negotiating with the other party, and the price was lower than others. My father-in-law also
So he scolded me and said that instead of helping him, I blamed him.
Then I thought, this matter has nothing to do with me anyway, I can explain it clearly at any time, so I didn’t bother with it anymore. Besides, Mayor Feng, you also know that I can’t say anything in front of my father-in-law, because
He still cares about my past affairs to this day, so I can’t say much.
But I still asked my woman to persuade him, but he ignored it at all. There is no way, he is a businessman, and he only cares about profit."
I thought to myself: So that's it. But I still said to him: "Yu Yong, think about it, can you explain such a thing clearly? But I also understand you. Since that is the case, then I feel more relieved.
.Now let me ask you the third question: After your father-in-law cooperated with Party B, did you provide any convenience for Party B?"
He shook his head, "No. Absolutely not. After you transferred a sum of money to the Environmental Protection Bureau last time, our company had difficulty in cash flow, and I even defaulted on their project payment. Party B came to me every day during that time,
I didn’t even pay attention to them.”
Now I was completely relieved, and then I picked up the glass and said to him: "Okay, let's not talk about this matter. Come, let's drink. From now on, we won't talk about work."
Immediately, I drank the wine in my glass first. He looked at me doubtfully, but then he drank the wine in his glass. Then he asked me: "Mayor Feng, are you
Have you heard someone say bad things about me behind my back? Mayor Feng, from the first day the company was established, you have repeatedly warned me not to do anything that violates my principles, and I have always kept it in mind."
I said: "No one said anything bad about you, it's just that someone reported some of your situation to me. Of course I don't believe it completely, so I called you here today to ask you about your real situation. Yu Yong
, you know? I'm worried that you really used the power in your hands to do something like that. You are very capable, and I don't want to lose a good cadre like you because of this."
He looked at me with a very moved expression, "Thank you, Mayor Feng."
I shook my head and said: "Some people are like this nowadays. They start to be jealous when they see your good work performance. But this should attract your attention. In fact, it is not impossible for your father-in-law to want to do such a business.
, but it’s best to avoid suspicion? Yu Yong, I hope you can persuade him that it is best not to participate in the business of the project you are responsible for in the future. Is it not easy to make money? I will introduce him to several businesses in other places in the future.
That’s right, it’s not a problem.”
He shook his head and said: "Mayor Feng, I don't need to trouble you anymore. I know it's not easy for you. Last time, Secretary Chen's matter made you very difficult, and you even offended him. In fact, everyone knows it.
Everyone knows that you are actually the most honest person. My father-in-law has that kind of temper, and I also know that he is thinking about his daughter. He always feels that one day I will abandon his daughter again, so he wants to earn more
Money. He told me that the money he earns is so that his grandson can receive the best education in the future, and also so that we will not worry about food and clothing in the future. Alas! There is no way."
I nodded and said, "It's understandable. What a pity for parents in the world. Besides, if there is a chance in the future, I will ask my father-in-law if their company can provide some business for your father-in-law to do. Jiangnan Group is a private enterprise.
Things like this won’t have much impact on you or me.”
He was very touched, "Mayor Feng, you are really good to me and our family. I have nothing to repay, and I will work hard in the future and never cause any trouble to you."
I immediately laughed and said, "I am very satisfied to hear what you said. I am very happy today, and now I will tell you a happy event, but you only need to know about it yourself. I also want to make you mentally aware of it."
Prepared."
He immediately looked at me and smiled, "Mayor Feng, from what you said, it seems like you really want to promote me?"
I nodded.
But he hurriedly said: "But I don't want to leave my current position. I have done a good job, and I also think that for the time being, you can't find a more suitable person to replace me."
I couldn't help but laugh, "Hey! You are not humble at all. Let me tell you, you will continue to be the boss, but you will also be the deputy director of the park. This is to solve the problem at your level.
But let me tell you, I just asked Secretary Rong to approve this matter. Next, the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department will inspect you. If you have any questions, I won’t be able to help you."
He shook his head and said: "I thought it was a high-level official, deputy director... Then I will just be a reluctant official for a while."
I almost had a seizure, "You guy, why are you so ignorant?!"
He hurriedly said: "Mayor Feng, you know that I am such a bad person. In fact, I am very grateful to you, and I am also very happy that you promoted me, but I can't help but say a few words.
Don't be angry?"
I immediately couldn't laugh or cry, "Can I not be angry? Originally, I planned to treat you to this meal privately today, but now I'm going to fine you to pay the bill! Remember, you can't issue an invoice and take it back to pay for it."
He immediately looked sad and said, "Mayor Feng, I don't have much private money to begin with. Aren't you taking advantage of the bones of the poor?"
I wanted to slap him, but I couldn't help but laugh. He grinned along with me.
I smiled bitterly and shook my head, "You are good at everything, but you can't change your bad mouth. I don't know you yet? Your woman's policy towards you is quite lenient. When have you ever been short of money? Do you think so?
Aren’t you letting down your own woman too much?”
He sighed and said: "Mayor Feng, you are right. Originally, if it were other women, I would not be rich all the time, but she is really different. She said to me more than once: Yu
Yong, I don’t blame you if you have a woman outside, but you must never abandon us two. Hey! Mayor Feng, I think she is the smartest woman in the world. The more tolerant she is
, the more I can’t bear to betray her."
I couldn't help but sigh: "Yes. In this way, your woman is indeed very smart. In fact, she knows very well that she can't control this man if she wants to. Tolerance is the best way for a woman to control a man."
But then I thought to myself: Zhao Menglei and Chen Yuan were so tolerant to me in the past, but why can't I be controlled by them?
At this time, when I suddenly remembered that they were here, I suddenly felt sad. Only now did I realize that Yu Yong and his wife are actually the happiest couple in the world. (To be continued)
