Thinking of this, I immediately called the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the deputy mayor in charge of civil affairs, and the deputy secretary-general of the general office who contacted the deputy mayor.
Although in my heart I am very dissatisfied with my unplanned way of working, I still want to believe in a saying: it is not too late to fix the problem before it is too late.
And as the mayor, it is impossible for me to think about all issues in such a comprehensive and detailed manner. Besides, there are still many things that happen suddenly. As long as the big work plan and direction are correct, it will be fine. As for the details,
Problems, as well as shortcomings in work that suddenly come to mind, as long as you can think of them and remedy them in time.
When these people arrived at my office, I immediately talked about my thoughts, "I called you here today for one thing. It's the New Year's Eve soon, and there are so many laid-off workers in our city, and there are other reasons due to various reasons.
We cannot ignore the problems of poor families caused by various reasons and must attach great importance to them.
If we don't care about these people and don't help them, we will be derelict in our duties. Now what I want to know is, how much does your civil affairs department know about this group of people? Is it true for every poor family in our city?
Have they registered? Have our subsidies for them been implemented now?"
The director of civil affairs replied: "Mayor Feng, the biggest problem we face now is the lack of funds. Our civil affairs department has many problems to solve. In addition to poor families, there are also pensions for military martyrs, resettlement of veterans, and support for the lonely elderly.
Assistance, repatriation of homeless people, etc., each task requires a large amount of funds. At present, we are powerless."
I was immediately dissatisfied. This man was actually an old cunning guy. His answer was simply to avoid the questions I just asked. In other words, he couldn't answer my questions at all, or even less so.
I have never done any work in that area, at least it was too superficial.
However, I suppressed my inner dissatisfaction and immediately asked the deputy mayor in charge, "Do you know the situation in this regard?"
The deputy mayor replied: "What he just said is true. The current work of our civil affairs department is indeed very difficult. In the final analysis, it is a matter of money."
This time it became even more difficult for me to get angry, because the deputy mayor, like the civil affairs director, also ignored this issue and never paid serious attention to this area of work. Although I also ignored this aspect,
After all, I am not the leader in charge of this area of work. As the deputy mayor in charge, he should understand these situations. In the final analysis, this is still the bureaucracy in his heart that is at work.
I said: "Since I have raised these issues today, it shows that these issues are very important. Think about it, if some of your relatives belong to poor families, but they do not receive funding from the government and society, and they
If you lack the ability to make a living, what will happen?
Also, since you know that there are a group of poor families in our city, and they do need help, have you, the civil affairs director, reported this to the deputy mayor in charge? No, right?
This is not a question of money, it is a question of your lack of practicality in your work and your weak sense of responsibility. Maybe you think I am making a fuss out of a molehill, but I don’t think so. Not long ago, Secretary Rong called me in for a talk. She said that she has been thinking a lot lately.
It's about feeling worried about what might happen to us now.
Later I understood what her worries were. In the final analysis, they were about social stability. Now we have restructured all the enterprises in the city, and the result of this restructuring has certainly revitalized our enterprises, but at the same time,
As a result, some of our workers have been laid off, causing them to encounter great difficulties in their current lives. As the saying goes, hunger and cold stir up the heart, and poverty is one of the fundamental causes of social instability. This problem is not a trivial matter.
You didn't pay attention to this issue before, and I don't want to criticize you now, but now you must pay attention to it immediately. First, conduct a thorough investigation and registration of the situation of poor families in the city as soon as possible. Second, formulate a subsidy plan as soon as possible. Third, in the process of
We must seek truth from facts during the work process in this area, and we must never allow anyone to take the opportunity to seek personal gain for his relatives. I hope you will strengthen the ideological education of the staff below, and deal with it seriously if such a situation occurs.
It’s not that I don’t believe the comrades below, because this kind of situation has happened in other places. Some places not only cheat on the issue of subsistence allowances, but some people even make up fake employee registration forms to pretend to be
Receive salary. This situation has been disclosed recently on the Internet and in newspapers, so I will say hello now."
The deputy mayor in charge said: "Mayor Feng, you are right. I should also reflect on this matter. In the final analysis, it is because I did not do my job well. However, the problems I mentioned before do exist. The source of funds
If it cannot be resolved, this matter will not be implemented at all.”
I thought to myself: According to you, as long as you don’t have money, then don’t think about anything, let alone do it? But I didn’t question him like this. I am the mayor and I must protect myself.
Team unity.
I said: "First, you must first find out the situation as soon as possible, and then formulate subsidy standards. Only on this basis can the amount of funds required be calculated. Second, regarding the source of funds, I
I think, on the one hand, the Civil Affairs Bureau will find a way to solve part of it on its own, and the city finance department will try to allocate a sum of money to solve another part, and then report to the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs and ask them to help us with part of it.
I think it is not difficult to solve this problem. In fact, the most critical thing about this problem is that everyone must think about it. This is the fundamental problem. This is a critical period for our reform and urban construction in Shangjiang City. Social
The stability of the country is an overriding issue. I hope everyone will pay great attention to issues like this.
This is not a slogan shouted during meetings, it is a problem that each of our leaders must face seriously and must not make the slightest mistake."
At this point, I said to the deputy secretary-general who was in charge of this work: "The contents of our meeting today must be formed into work minutes, and then sent to every leader of the municipal party committee and municipal government in the form of a briefing. At the same time, we must
Distribute it to various departments, as well as sub-district offices, factories and mining enterprises. In this way, the next statistical work of the Civil Affairs Bureau will be much simpler."
In fact, I have two real ideas for this arrangement: first, to supervise the work in this way. Second, if the people below cause an emergency due to lack of attention or procrastination at work, their responsibilities will be
It has nothing to do with me, because I arranged this work myself.
This is not a trick on my part to shirk responsibility, but a working method that I must adhere to as mayor.
After the matter was discussed, I kept the deputy mayor in charge and continued to discuss some specific issues in this work with him. In fact, the subsequent discussions between me and him were no longer important. My real purpose was to appease him.
His emotions. This is not only a necessary working method, but also from the perspective of unity.
I find that my recent work is almost like this. I am busy working on such things and consume countless time and energy.
In a team, not all deputy positions can do their jobs completely. Of course, there are various reasons for this, maybe it is a problem in thinking, or maybe they are in charge of too many things.
What's more important is that they have different perspectives on problems. After all, as deputies, their level of thinking about problems is not so high, nor is it so comprehensive. I feel this deeply because I was once a deputy, so
The issues I considered back then were obviously different from what I think about now.
On this day, after I finished the meeting and the deputy mayor in charge had just left, Secretary Rong called me. She smiled and said to me: "Mayor Feng, I will treat you to a meal tonight."
Well, you have been working too hard recently, let me give you some condolences."
I hurriedly said politely: "Secretary Rong, where did I work hard? You worked harder than me." At this point, I suddenly realized that the purpose of her calling me was not just to treat me to dinner.
thing, and then asked her: "Secretary Rong, do you want to discuss something with me?"
She smiled and said: "No. Just have a meal together. That's it. Put away all other things. I know you can't have anything special today. There are no leaders from the province or anything else.
Important guest, right?"
She was the secretary of the municipal party committee, so of course she was well aware of this situation. I immediately said: "Okay. You have given such an order. Of course I, the subordinate, must obey it. Not to mention, I was just about to ask
Please report on your work."
She laughed and said, "Okay, let's talk slowly at the dinner table tonight."
Then she told me where to eat in the evening. It was the best hotel in Shangjiang City. I knew her. She was usually very careful about eating. She rarely went there except for necessary receptions.
Such a place. So I couldn't help but feel a little strange: shouldn't it just be a simple meal tonight?
But judging from the tone and mood she spoke to me just now, she seems to be in a very good mood today.
Originally, I planned to go to several street offices in the afternoon, but I realized that that way would not allow me to learn more useful things, and now I feel like I have really found it.
Secretary Rong was worried about something in his heart, so I decided to temporarily give up this relatively frequent method of going deep into the grassroots level, and then went to hold two more important meetings in the afternoon.
In one of the meetings, I listened to a report on the construction plan of Binjiang Road. The main content was the preparations for the current construction, including the financing situation, the specific plans for bidding, etc.
They have done a very good job, and the power of horsepower has been initially revealed. This makes me deeply gratified, and at the same time I have more confidence in my own vision of people.
In fact, when it comes to employment issues, it does not have to be completely fair and just. The greatest fairness and justice should actually be based on ability. In ancient times, there was a saying that people should recommend themselves and people should not avoid relatives. This is very illustrative.
.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when all the heroes were vying for the throne, Cao Cao made his fortune a little late. Therefore, his reputation and strength were far inferior to those of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Gongsun Zan, etc. in the initial stage. However, the final winner was Cao Cao. The reason was that Cao Cao's wisdom in employing people was extraordinary.
It's really interesting.
As early as in the political struggle to eradicate the eunuchs and help the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who had strong political ambitions, discussed the current situation together. Yuan Shao's plan was, "If things don't go smoothly," "I will seize the river in the south, block the Yan Dynasty in the north, and also block the Yan Dynasty in the north."
The people of Rong and Di are marching south to fight for the world." Cao Cao said: "I will use the wisdom of the world and control them with Dao, and I can do anything."
A simple sentence that seems to have no actual content, but it reveals Cao Cao's extraordinary political strategy - regarding talent issues as the most fundamental strategic issue in political struggles. And many subsequent examples have proven that Cao Cao is
What he said was also what he did. He always regarded recruiting talents as a more important fundamental goal than conquering cities and territories, and acted on the basis of talent. "The officials give talents to each according to his own abilities, and he is free to act as he pleases, and he does not care about old evils." This is also true.
Because of this, Cao Cao gathered under his command the largest and most outstanding team of talents between the Han and Wei dynasties, and it was by relying on such a team that Cao Cao defeated his opponents and achieved great success.
Under today's system, our employment model actually has many similarities with that of Cao Cao's era. The best way to employ people is to rely on talents and not avoid relatives and enemies.
After get off work, I hurried to the hotel that Secretary Rong told me. When I entered the private room, I immediately understood why she invited me to dinner today and why she arranged the dining place here. Because I saw a beautiful woman inside, she was Min Siwei.
Obviously, Secretary Rong deliberately arranged the place to have dinner here tonight because of the arrival of Min Siwei. It is quiet here and no one will disturb it under normal circumstances. After all, I am the mayor of Shangjiang City.
It's best to keep love matters a secret. If the negotiation fails, won't there be rumors?
There was no sign of Secretary Rong in the private room I saw. I suddenly remembered that last time she made an appointment with me but didn't come. Could it be that she is going to do her same trick again this time?
Probably not, because this is Shangjiang City, and it is unlikely that she would let me eat alone with a beautiful woman. Secretary Rong is a woman and a leader. She is more meticulous than many people when considering these issues.
.
Maybe it was because she still had some unfinished business at hand, or more likely, she was deliberately leaving the two of us some alone time together.
The first time I entered the private room, I was surprised, but then I asked her: "When did you come? Are you here on a business trip? Where is Secretary Rong?"
She seemed a little shy, "Secretary Rong asked me to come here first. She has something else to do and should be here soon."
I found that she seemed to be deliberately avoiding answering my question. In fact, I just asked it casually. This made me understand a little bit: Could it be that she was specially called to our Shangjiang City by Secretary Rong?
But it was impossible for me to ask her so many questions. That would be impolite and disrespectful to her. In my heart, I respect her very much because of her dedication to her career.
And now I feel a lot more relaxed, because what she just said has told me that the judgment just now was correct: Secretary Rong will definitely come.
I smiled and said to her: "Welcome to our Shangjiang City as a guest."
She smiled and said, "I remember you invited me to be your guest last time, so I came."
I couldn't help but laugh, "When you say this, why do I feel like you are on a state visit? Isn't this often said on CCTV news? Prime Minister XX accepted the invitation of XX leader of our country.
Go to our country for a state visit..."
She and I both laughed at the same time. (To be continued)
