There are too many cadres in China, and they are so densely packed. If you don’t get close to your superiors, you won’t be able to get into their sight, and they won’t be able to see you. No matter how hard you work, how honest you are, or how outstanding you are, you may be buried.
Therefore, before a certain stage, you must get close to the leader. Of course, this approach is not about doing "transactions" or "buying and selling"; it is about making them feel your existence, your excellence, especially your
Be loyal and make them feel that you are "his" person or "their" person. Whoever is in power likes to use "their" people.
At one point, at all times and in all countries, no matter what the banner is, there are almost no exceptions. However, when the official level reaches a certain level, you can no longer look for people blindly, and there is no need to look for people blindly.
At this time, you have floated from the bottom of the water to the surface; you have entered their sight. At this level, as long as you don’t make too many mistakes, how to use you further and whether to use you further basically depends on your
Personal work performance no longer has much to do with it. It is mainly based on "need". And at the upper level, the matter of "need" is actually very complicated, very subtle, very sensitive, and sometimes it is "unexplainable"
, things that are “impenetrable”.
Therefore, the first step of contact is very important. It is the foundation and an opportunity.
I immediately called the driver and asked him to pick me up as quickly as possible to the Provincial Party Committee Office Building. Obviously, it was inappropriate for me to drive there by myself on an occasion like today.
Xiao Sui arrived outside my house in less than a quarter of an hour. I was very surprised, "How did you do that?"
He smiled and said to me: "If there is no traffic jam these days, I can drive faster."
I kept praising him and then told him to drive to the Provincial Party Committee Office Building as soon as possible.
He nodded and drove out of the community quickly. He wouldn't ask me who I was going to see or anything, because he was a very qualified driver. At this point, he was better than my previous driver.
Driver Xiao Cui did better.
It would also be very interesting if we seriously study the phenomenon of secretaries and drivers in official circles——
In Chinese society, many things of those in power cannot escape the eyes of the car driver. The so-called bystander knows. Sometimes the car driver of a unit holds the power of life and death for the leader. Driving for the leader requires the eyes of an old lady.
You can't miss what you see, and you absolutely can't see what you shouldn't see. This is the rule.
What is a driver? It is the leader's legs, he has to pull the leader to walk; it is the leader's hand, he has to do many tedious things for the leader; he is the leader's eyes, he has to look at the situation in all directions for the leader; he is the leader's ears
, he has to listen to the leader’s voices from above and below; he is the leader’s mouth and has to make phone calls for the leader; more importantly, he is the leader’s personal and considerate person. He is half of the leader’s family and half of the leader’s family.
Personality. There are things that leaders cannot talk to their superiors or subordinates, but they can talk to the driver. There are things that leaders should hide from the outside world or from home, but they cannot be hidden from him.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the secretary is more important than the driver, but in the eyes of the leader, the driver is more important than the secretary, because the driver is an internal minister and the secretary is an external minister.
There used to be a misunderstanding that the secretary or office director was the leader’s confidant. That was a big mistake. That kind of confidant was just for appearances and belonged to the category of working methods and leadership art. If there really were things behind the door or under the desk,
It’s too late to be on guard. The driver cannot go around it, there is no need to go around it, it’s even necessary.
The leader's privacy is not kept secret from the closest subordinates, and in fact it cannot be kept secret. On the contrary, the subordinates will generally feel flattered by the leader's lack of privacy and become more loyal to the leader. Smart superiors and subordinates are those who do not
Dispel this kind of thing.
Being a secretary to a leader is sometimes like marrying someone. Marrying the right person or marrying the wrong person can lead to huge consequences. But the secretary often has no control over his decision. Although he is also an office secretary, who should he marry?
Being a secretary is not just a little bit different. Being a secretary to a top leader or being an ordinary secretary can sometimes be a huge difference.
The leader's secretary is the image of the leader. The basic skill of a secretary is to be good at observing words and emotions, and to grasp the thoughts and concerns of the leader. Any opinions put forward must be consistent with the leader's thoughts, so as to satisfy the leader.
Why did emperors reuse eunuchs in ancient times? Because eunuchs are like today's secretaries and drivers.
Xiao Sui drove the car very fast at first, thinking about safety issues, so I reminded him. Then he slowed down a little, and I started thinking about such issues. In fact, I just didn't want to make myself too nervous.
Because now I don't know what kind of attitude Secretary Fang will have in a while.
When our car was about to arrive at the Provincial Party Committee Office Building, I suddenly remembered that I should call Secretary Rong. Quickly, I dialed her number and said, "Secretary Rong, I'm going to see Secretary Fang right away. I just said
I have briefly reported the situation to him on the phone, and he asked me to go to his office immediately, and now I have arrived below the provincial party committee office building. Secretary Rong, do you think you have anything else to give instructions?"
She said: "You can talk about it after you report it to Secretary Fang. The best way is to just report it and let the leadership decide everything else."
I smiled bitterly in my heart: It would be great if that was really the case, but who knows how Secretary Fang would ask me about this matter? If he asked me to talk about my thoughts, would I keep silent or shirk the problem?
Don't know? But I still answered her, "Okay. I understand."
Our car was stopped by the armed police outside the Provincial Party Committee Office Building. I told the armed police that I came on the order of Secretary Fang. The armed police asked me to show my ID, and I took out my ID and handed it to him. He took a look at it.
Then he saluted me, "Comrade Mayor! Please come in!"
I immediately understood that Secretary Tang had already greeted them in advance.
The office building of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary is an independent villa-style building inside the building outside. There are also armed police on duty outside.
This is a standard that people of Secretary Fang's level should enjoy. Maybe he doesn't want to be like this, but he is stipulated that he must enjoy such treatment.
I really think so. In fact, when a person truly possesses extremely high power, his freedom will be reduced as a result.
This is just like those celebrities. While they are famous, they cannot go shopping like ordinary people, let alone go to the food stalls to drink easily. When a person loses the freedom to be an ordinary person, the joy of life will also be lost.
It will be much less as a result.
Secretary Tang was waiting for me outside the office building. I kept thanking him as respectfully as if he were the mayor.
He smiled and said to me: "Mayor Feng, don't be so polite. Please follow me in. The secretary is waiting for you."
So I followed him into this villa-style building.
After entering, there is a hall at the bottom. There is a set of sofas in the hall, a large bookshelf, and newspaper folders next to the bookshelf. Obviously, this is the place where people wait to be received by the provincial party committee secretary when they come here. While waiting
You can read books and newspapers here during the visit. However, I believe that those who come here for the first time will never read books or newspapers, because they will definitely be as nervous as me at this time.
Secretary Tang said to me: "Mayor Feng, please sit down for a moment. Secretary Fang is discussing something with a department leader. I'm going to see if they have finished talking."
I nodded to him and said, "Thank you." At this time, I was thinking: He just said that Secretary Fang was waiting for me. It turned out that was not the case. But after thinking about it, I felt that this was normal. Just imagine,
How can a provincial party committee secretary wait for someone below him?
I sat on the sofa, and after a few seconds I stood up and looked around on the bookshelf. I found that there were all types of books there. But I didn’t pull out a book because it was impossible for me to read all of it at this time.
This book. Then I found some basic magazines under the bookcase. After a brief glance, I picked up the latest "Reader" and then sat back on the sofa to read.
I often read this magazine on weekdays, and what I like to read the most is the joke part. I always start reading it from here because it is simple and easy.
The jokes in this issue were not funny at all, and I felt a little disappointed after reading it. Then I looked at the previous table of contents, and then chose a philosophical article to read. After reading it, I thought it was pretty good, and this article spoke out
The most essential thing about human nature.
At this time, Secretary Tang came out, followed by a person. I knew him. He was the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of our province. I greeted him respectfully.
Of course he knew me, but at this time he just smiled and nodded at me, and then left directly. (To be continued)
