To be honest, I like to go to Mayor Wu’s house for a drink. His food tastes good, and I particularly like the strong family atmosphere in his house. Mayor Wu’s wife is very virtuous. When we talk about things, she usually
Leave. Also, I feel safe talking about things at his home, and I won’t worry about rumors getting out.
Mayor Wu and I walked to his house after get off work. I proposed this. I told him: "I want to tell you something while we are on the way."
Regarding Secretary Rong’s opinion of him, I can’t tell such a thing in front of Director Lu, after all, he is a subordinate. This is a matter that involves Mayor Wu’s face. Of course, I can’t let my subordinates hear it, otherwise I won’t be able to say it. Wu City
It will be embarrassing for a long time.
Moreover, if I really do that, it will definitely cast a shadow in Mayor Wu's heart, making him dissatisfied with me, and making him think that I deliberately failed to give him face in front of my subordinates and damaged his image.
But it is different when we talk about it alone. When we talk alone, it is just a communication between the two of us, and I will also clearly tell him that this is what Secretary Rong meant. In this case, he will not be disgusted.
In addition, I specifically asked to go to his home for dinner today, which is also a friendly gesture. As a mayor, you don’t just go to other people’s homes for dinner. Celebrities also need appearance fees to attend a certain dinner. Master it.
To some extent, officials who hold power are not much different from celebrities.
In the final analysis, this is actually a way of being a human being, not simply a way of being an official. As far as the way of being a human being is concerned, the most important thing is to always take into account the inner feelings of the other party, including empathy, etc. The principles are all
in this way.
Mayor Wu and I walked out of the city government building together. At the beginning, we talked about some recent work matters, because there were many lower-level staff passing by outside the city hall, and they kept saying hello to us.
So it was not appropriate for me to talk to him about that matter under such circumstances.
But first I talked to him about Secretary Rong’s opinions on gambling. After hearing this, he said: “Secretary Rong thinks about the problem from the perspective of the whole city, and her opinion is correct from the overall and long-term perspective.
"
I nodded and said, "Yes. Lao Wu, to be honest, you and I are not as good as her at this point. She sees the problem more thoughtfully and far-sightedly than we do."
But he shook his head and said: "Mayor Feng, I don't think so."
I looked at him in surprise, and he smiled and continued: "Actually, we are often limited by our position. When a person reaches that position, his thinking will naturally change, and it cannot be changed.
They will be eliminated. This is also the natural law of officialdom.
For example, I used to be the Minister of United Front Work. At that time, the issue I considered was very simple, which was to keep everything in order and not cause trouble.
After becoming the executive deputy mayor, I had to learn and think about economic and financial issues, and now I am more concerned about how to cooperate with your work.
For me now, if I want to find the gap, I will obviously feel that I am far behind you, whether in ability or thinking. But I generally don’t think about such things.
Because what I need to do now is to be the executive deputy mayor.
Therefore, doing the present well has become my highest standard now. Haha!
Mayor Feng, I think the same is true for you. Now that you are the mayor, what you are thinking about is how to be the mayor well and how to implement every decision of the municipal committee. You will definitely not think too much about other things.
Am I right?"
I couldn't help but nodded and said, "Yes, what you said makes sense."
He added: "You and I are both in the officialdom, and we are also relatively responsible people, so we are very realistic and will never dream about the future. But we are both very confident.
We all believe that we can adapt well to the new positions we may face in the future. Therefore, we all focus on the present, and we all know that doing a good job in the present is what we should do most."
What he said was very thorough and practical. It was beyond the scope of a deputy's words. However, as a friend, it was indeed necessary for him to say such things to me. At this moment, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed:
How should I convey Secretary Rong's opinions to him next?
At this time, we were already quite far away from the city hall, and we were walking slowly on the sidewalk of the street. Maybe people saw that Mayor Wu and I had been talking, so not many people greeted us.
I thought it was best to tell him directly, because he was very direct and sincere in front of me. So, when we entered the branch road, I really said to him directly, "Old Wu, tonight I will
In addition to asking you to call Director Lu together to talk about gambling, you also want the two of us to discuss some principled issues with him.
Regarding this principled issue, now I have to communicate with you alone first. In fact, this is not my personal idea, it was also what Secretary Rong ordered me to communicate with you."
He stopped immediately and looked at me, "Oh? Okay, then you can just talk about it."
I smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. Originally, Secretary Rong said that she came to talk to you directly. I think she is the municipal party committee secretary after all. If she talks to you directly, it may cause you to misunderstand, because this matter is not
It doesn't mean that she is dissatisfied with your work, but she wants to communicate with you as a leader. So, I told her that it would be better for me to talk to you about this matter. Secretary Rong also realized this
A little bit, so I agreed.”
He shook his head and said: "Mayor Feng, you don't need to explain too much. I absolutely trust you and regard you as a friend in private. So if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. Including Rong
Secretary, I also trust her very much. She is a good leader. Although she is a lesbian, many of us men are not more broad-minded than her. I think her opinion of me is entirely due to work.
I’m considering it from a different angle.”
I was very pleased, "Old Wu, I'm really happy that you can think like this. In fact, I was worried about what you thought at first, but now it seems that I was worrying too much. Old Wu, you are right, Secretary Rong is right
Overall, you are very satisfied with your work, but she feels that on the one hand, the local cadres in Shangjiang City have a geographical advantage and can do their work more smoothly than our cadres from other places, but on the other hand, they have a negative impact on your work.
The influence is that you are too familiar with local people and things, so you cannot be tolerant of many things.
And you are one of the most important leaders among local cadres, so she hopes that you can be more bold in your future work. Lao Wu, actually, I am the same on this issue. You also know that I am
Under normal circumstances, you are unwilling to offend others, and your problem is even more prominent. Because you are a local, you have to consider relationship issues when dealing with certain things. But in this way, a lot of work will arise.
slow.
For example, regarding some of our recent demolition issues, why haven’t those households moved yet? This is your responsibility. Anyway, it’s things like this that make some of our projects move slowly. Mayor Wu, Secretary Rong
We had a guaranteed vote in front of Secretary Fang, and now the leaders in the province are so supportive of our work. If we don't do our job well, we won't have the face to face them.
Therefore, it is understandable that Secretary Rong is anxious. After all, this is the best development opportunity for our Shangjiang City. If we do not make good use of this opportunity, it will be detrimental to the people of Shangjiang City, the leaders of the province, and ourselves.
It’s hard to explain.”
I later heard someone say that those demolished households that I talked about were close relatives of Mayor Wu’s former leader. People from the lower departments tried to do the work, but to no avail. Mayor Wu also went there, but the matter was still resolved.
I've put it off. Of course I can do such things, but I can't let them develop that habit of asking me to step in if things can't be solved. What's more, such things are not a big deal. In the final analysis, they just can't get rid of their feelings.
It's just an interview. When Secretary Rong mentioned this to me at the time, he should have included things like this.
He sighed and said: "Mayor Feng, Secretary Rong and you are all right. The biggest problem for our local cadres is this. We have been doing our work like this over the years. To be honest, although we have achieved something
Change, but I’m still afraid of changing in my heart. After all, we are all fellow villagers, so we can’t see each other when we look up.”
I nodded and said, "I completely understand. If I were you, I would definitely feel the same difficulty as you.
But Lao Wu, have you ever thought about it? You are the executive deputy mayor. Do you have any other choice besides facing it? Think about it, at the beginning, I was sandwiched between Secretary Chen and Mayor Wen, and later Liushi
When I was growing up, I was also in a difficult position, but I had no other choice but to stick to my bottom line.
You are also aware of the current situation. The situation we are facing now is: if we do not advance, we will retreat. The only result of retreat is to be eliminated. You said it very well before, elimination. If we do not do a good job by then
, not only Secretary Rong, I, but also you will be eliminated. Maybe there is something I shouldn’t say, wasn’t the former Mayor Wen also the result of being eliminated?”
He nodded and said: "Mayor Feng, I understand the truth behind this, but it's really difficult to do it. I won't tell lies in front of you, it's really difficult. Every time I
When I face my former bosses and very close friends, there are some things I really can’t say. It’s easier to talk to my relatives, and their work is much easier to do. Hey! Mayor Feng, I will try my best to do my best in the future.
Well, try your best to do your job well and try to get some work started as quickly as possible.” (To be continued)
