Looking at everything outside the car window, I suddenly felt a lot of emotion. Xiao Sui drove around the city. I looked at the time and said, "It's almost time. Let's go back."
At this moment, I already had a ripple in my heart: this city will change, and there will be fundamental changes.
Xiao Sui turned the car around and drove towards the old man's house. At this time, I suddenly remembered something, and then said to Xiao Xu: "You tell the secretary-general and say it is what I mean. The overall transformation of the city has begun.
Before, we should find a few people who specialize in photography to take photos of various places in our old city. This is very valuable information. By the way, the TV station should also leave video information. Remember this."
Xiao Xu reminded me: "Mayor Feng, this matter is a bit big. It seems inappropriate for me to tell the secretary-general. Besides, this matter is not a matter of the general office. What do you think?"
I thought he was right to remind me, so I nodded immediately and said, "Well, you have to remember this. In the past few days, when you see that I am free, I will call the Director of Radio, Film and Television and the Director of Culture to my office."
He agreed repeatedly.
After a while, we arrived at the entrance of the old man's courtyard. At this time, I suddenly thought of something, and then said to Xiao Xu: "You go back first, Xiao Sui stays."
Of course Xiao Xu didn't say anything. He immediately got off the car and got into a rickshaw and left.
Just now I suddenly thought of something: For me, it must be a bit pretentious to bring a secretary here, but a driver must bring one? After all, I am the mayor, and I can't just walk on the street casually like ordinary people.
Walk alone.
This is a question that is difficult to explain clearly. In fact, as an official with a certain level, especially the top leader of a place, many times he is actually very unfree.
The driver parked the car outside the courtyard, and then we went to the closed door of the courtyard together. Xiao Sui was knocking on the door.
At this moment, I suddenly realized that I had overlooked one thing: since I pretended to have just arrived here, I should bring a gift? However, at this time, the door of the courtyard had already opened, and what appeared at the door was
The kind smile of the old lady.
When she saw us, her smiling face turned into astonishment, "Huh? Mayor Feng, when did you go out?"
Just now, she had been busy in the kitchen, so she didn't notice when we went out. That's why she was so surprised. I smiled and said: "I just went out to do some small things. Mr.
Are you back?"
She nodded, "I just entered the house."
By this time I had already seen Mr. Liu, and sitting opposite him was a fat old man. I hurriedly said to Xiao Sui: "Go and help the old man."
Then I walked directly towards Mr. Liu. When I was about to say hello to the old man, I suddenly saw that the teacup I had just drank from was still there. I immediately understood that the old man and I had left just now.
I ignored this little thing when I was there. But this little thing may have exposed the fact that I have been here.
Mr. An is an old revolutionary. Although he has a bad temper, he must have experienced so many ups and downs. And since he has such a weird temper, he must have the qualifications to have a weird temper. People are often like this, and the more
People who are capable are more arrogant.
So, at this moment, I immediately changed my mind. So I said loudly to the old man: "Old man, you are really there. Did you really invite Mr. An here?"
The old man turned sideways and looked at me while I was talking, and a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face. I ignored him, but went directly to the old man opposite him. I found that his face was rosy.
, looking energetic, thinking that he was taking good care of himself. Then he bowed to him, "Are you An Lao? Hello, my name is Feng Xiao, and I am now the acting mayor of Shangjiang City. Today
I'm really happy to have the honor of meeting you."
The old man glanced at me, with a faint smile on his face, and then pointed to the seat next to him, "Sit down. Is this the cup you just drank from?"
I nodded and smiled: "Yes." Then I went to sit down at that seat, and then said to him apologetically: "Mr. An, I should have come to visit you a long time ago..."
Before I finished speaking, he immediately laughed "haha" and said: "Mayor Feng, how can I, An, dare to be so? I have already retired. I am very disgusting. I just don't cause any trouble to you."
, how dare I bother you, the mayor, to visit me?"
I immediately said seriously: "Mr. An, please don't say that. Let me tell you the truth. In fact, I know that you were also told by Chairman Ma who has been transferred from our city recently. This is actually true.
Blame it on me, because I haven't cared enough about retired veteran comrades. Also, I should have gone directly to your home, but I heard that you were very dignified, and I felt a little scared. Isn't that right? I just had to work
Mr. Liu has gone to invite you. Mr. An, it’s true that I didn’t do a good job, and I will apologize to you now: I’m sorry.”
I looked at me with a strange look, "Mayor Feng, you don't look like someone in the officialdom?"
I knew what he was referring to. He was actually saying that I was too straightforward and told the truth. I smiled and said: "Mr. An, anyway, there is only one rule I follow, and that is, 'Be an official before being a human being.
'.If a person can't do well as a human being, he won't be able to do well as an official. Mr. An, don't you think so?"
But he said lightly: "This is just a cliché. 'Be an official before being a person', hehe! This is easy to say, but not so easy to do. But I am very interested in your question.
If you are interested, let me ask you, what kind of way do you think you should adhere to as a human being?"
It was obvious that he was testing me. I immediately smiled bitterly in my heart: In Shangjiang City, I usually test others, but I didn’t expect that I would also be tested today.
I thought for a while and then said: "Mr. An, I think the first thing I want to say is, regarding the saying 'Be an official before being a person', this sentence is indeed a cliché, but I think there are not a few people who do it.
. Judging from the current situation, people in this officialdom should have done a lot, but everyone has different standards for being a human being. Nowadays, in this society, there is a trend of egoism that looks forward in everything, so
People revolve around such a kind of values to do good for themselves. Of course, this is only one aspect, a part. In fact, our current social situation is worthy of careful consideration by each of us. Our country is in a stage of development. After nearly a hundred years of development,
Capitalist countries that have developed but still lag behind the West. Although we hold high the banner of vast land and abundant resources and shout the slogan of reform and opening up, the cruel reality tells us: we should start from the essence and solve the problem from the essence. We need to let everyone
The Chinese people understand what is the right way to be a human being and how to make our country more prosperous and stronger.
Nearly a thousand years ago, our ancestors began to explore ways to be a human being. They were all our guides and set the precedent for us to be a human being. Among them, Confucius and Laozi had a profound influence. In Confucius' view, the way to be a human being is to teach people to be human.
The way to deal with things, the ancient way of a good ruler is to "reach the extreme of emptiness and be calm", "the best is like a valley, and a hundred is like a humiliation". In short, "those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black". As far as Laozi is concerned,
Lao Tzu is an ancient preacher. The Tao Te Ching, known as the "King of All Classics", is a reflection on some fundamental issues in society. Although it has passed thousands of years, it is still not out of date. Be kind and don't take kindness for granted.
If you don't do it, don't do it because it's a small evil. You must be responsible for being a person. You can't be promiscuous when you're rich, and you can't move when you're poor. You need to be honest. Integrity is the foundation of a person. You need to respect yourself, be strict with yourself, be lenient to others, and be content.
, Those who want to be content will always be happy.” (To be continued)
