Now I seemed to understand a little bit, "Chairman Ma, do you mean that the government spent these eight million just to please an old leader?"
He said: "Mayor Feng, you may not know much about this old leader. He was among the first batch of cadres after liberation and has been serving in Shangjiang City. At that time, Shangjiang City was still at the county level.
Secretary of the County Party Committee. This old comrade is extremely upright and has extremely high prestige in Shangjiang City. Even I am a cadre promoted by him.
However, this man has a very strange temper. He doesn’t like others to flatter him, and he doesn’t like others to give him anything. But he is very prestigious in Shangjiang City. Now the older generation of Shangjiang City, whether they are retired cadres
Even retired workers, they all listen to him very much. Mayor Feng, do you understand what I mean?"
I nodded, "What you mean is that the businessmen and officials in Shangjiang City are actually the next generation of this old leader, so if there is any big issue in the future, he will definitely be able to put it aside as long as he comes forward."
.do you mean this?"
He nodded, "That's what I mean. For example, as long as he says a word, I will do anything for him. Because the things he asks me to do are not against the principles, and if I don't do it, the consequences will be
Many local people will criticize me.
Jiang Shan'an used to be so flamboyant, but he was also well-behaved in front of this old leader. Once, the old leader really couldn't stand what Jiang Shan'an was doing, so he went directly to Jiang Shan'an's office in the city government.
He poked Jiang Shanan twice with the crutch and said: If you don't restrain yourself, you will go to jail from now on.
At that time, Jiang Shanan didn't dare to express his anger, and he hurriedly flattered the old leader and said a lot of nice things. Mayor Feng, this old leader is such a person. In fact, Jiang Shanan became more restrained later, especially under Secretary Chen.
After coming with you, he still couldn't bear to give up the things he had already obtained, so he finally reached that point."
After hearing what he said, I was immediately very interested in this legendary old man, and then asked him: "Chairman Ma, after hearing what you said, I probably understand the situation of this old leader, but I don't quite believe it."
One point: Doesn’t he have any preferences? Also, can’t I just get to know him through your introduction? Why do we have to go through the senior center project to win his favor? "
He said: "Mayor Feng, you have asked about the most critical point. The Veteran Cadre Activity Center in Shangjiang City was built more than 20 years ago. There is nothing in it, and the place is small. On weekdays, there is no
No one goes to that place.
The old leader was not used to it after he retired, so he organized a group of veteran cadres to go there to organize some activities. As a result, not long after he started organizing activities, several old comrades passed away due to various reasons. Some people said that place
If one's feng shui is not good, the result will of course be that no one will ever participate in the activities organized by him again.
This old leader is not a superstitious person. After investigation, he found that the houses there were too moldy and had poor ventilation, so he repeatedly asked the current leaders to renovate the place. But until now,
His wish has never been realized
As I said before, he has a very weird temper, and he has to do what he sets his sights on. As a result, after every change of office in Shangjiang City, he has to report to the Veteran Cadre Bureau to rebuild the Veteran Cadre Activity Center.
People can't refuse him, so they report to the government every time.
The veteran bureau also made a report before when Mayor Wen was here, but Jiang Shanan felt that the old leader had ruined his face that time, so he acted behind his back and did not allow the matter to be passed at the government executive meeting.
When Mayor Liu was there, the Lao Gan Bureau made another report, but Mayor Liu was powerless at the time and did not dare to mention this project to the meeting for study. Mayor Feng, you are the mayor now, so Lao Gan
The bureau made several more reports at the request of the old leader."
I thought what he said was a bit unbelievable. Not to mention the previous reasons, the following things also made me feel unbelievable. I immediately asked: "Why did I make several reports in a row after taking office? Moreover,
Why didn't he just come to me?"
He said: "It's very simple. This old leader's health is not as good as before. He hopes to see a new veteran cadre activity center built in his lifetime. In addition, it is said that this old leader heard that you are a good person."
, so I have greater hope. This old leader never asks for help, including when he asks the old cadre bureau to make a report, he always calls the director of the old cadre bureau to tell it. So it is impossible for him to directly
Coming to find you."
Hearing what he said, I felt very strange: Is there such a person in this world? I immediately felt that this matter was a bit weird. But at this time, I didn’t want to ask him more, because I thought since he told
After seeing my situation, he must think that he is like this.
Maybe he had a good impression of the old leader and respected him too much, so he didn't tell me the actual and most true situation of the old leader. And if I doubted this at this time, I would
It's easy for him to think that I don't believe him.
I don't want something like this to create a gap between me and him.
Also, I think it is very simple to find out about this matter. I will just ask Mayor Wu directly when the time comes. To be honest, as far as this matter is concerned, I am more willing to believe what Mayor Wu says.
Thinking of this, I immediately said: "Now the city government really can't afford these eight million. Now every penny of the city's finances is planned. Let me think of other ways."
He smiled and said, "Mayor Feng, I just told you what I should say. As for what you are going to do next, that is your business. Maybe I am unfounded, after all, Mayor Feng and you are the
Human thinking is completely different from ours. Your thinking is more advanced. Maybe you will have better solutions when you encounter such problems in the future. I am just providing a way.
Mayor Feng, I'm very happy that you can come today. My personal matters don't matter, after all, I've already arrived, but I ask you to take more care of my brother's matters in the future."
I shook my head and said: "Chairman Ma, what will happen to your brother in the future depends on his own efforts. Now I have given him a platform for development, but if he doesn't do his job well, I can't continue."
Take care of him.
His matter is very controversial in the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. You may already know this matter. So I won’t say much about other matters. As long as he is capable and does his job well, things in the future will be much easier to handle.
Already.
Also, you and I are both in this officialdom, and it is difficult for us to control our own destiny. Therefore, I cannot make any guarantees to you about many things now."
He raised his glass to me and said, "Mayor Feng, you are right. Those few words you just said are enough. Indeed, it is difficult for each of us to control our own destiny. I don't think Secretary Chen was so strong back then.
, in the end, I left Maicheng. People, it’s enough if you work hard. As for other things, you don’t have to worry about it.” (To be continued)
