That night, we had been discussing this matter at Mayor Wu's house. Later, I specifically emphasized to Director Lu that we must be gentle with each other.
Director Lu said: "I have no problem. I was prepared on my first day as the Public Security Bureau Chief. This seat is not easy to sit in because what I do is to offend people. But the people below may not be like this.
After thinking about it, two leaders, I will hold an internal meeting when I get back to emphasize discipline again."
Mayor Wu worriedly asked: "Will this alarm those cadres and citizens who like gambling?"
I shook my head and said: "Try to keep it a secret as much as possible. But I think our purpose is not to catch gamblers, but to prevent such things from happening again. In fact, we can first carry out a city-wide ban on gambling to let people fully understand gambling
The harm of it. I think that after our publicity, most people will not do such things again. Lao Wu, if you go and say hello to those foreign investors in private, this counts as ours.
We have done our best. At the same time, we must also educate our cadres well and give them a head start. When we really catch them, they will have nothing to say."
Mayor Wu reminded me: "But, Secretary Rong's place..."
I smiled and said: "The municipal party committee just gave us a principle, and we can be flexible in the implementation process. I fully understand the meaning of Secretary Rong's words, and that is the sentence I just said:
Catching gamblers is just a means for us, and getting people to give up such bad habits is our ultimate goal."
At this point, I suddenly realized that what Mayor Wu reminded me was another matter, "I will talk to Secretary Rong about the education of cadres. By the way, I will also report to her the results of our discussion tonight."
Mayor Wu nodded and said: "Mayor Feng, I agree with your statement."
He is indeed an excellent deputy. He always hits the spot on certain things. His reminder to me just now was also very timely. You must know that although our municipal government also has responsibilities for the education of cadres, it should be the work of the municipal party committee more.
The issue of cadres is a very sensitive matter in the officialdom. As the top leader of the government, you must pay more attention to it, otherwise it may be regarded as overstepping your authority by the municipal party committee.
Next, Director Lu asked me a very practical question that was also very difficult for me to answer, "Mayor Feng, I think it is easy to catch citizens gambling, but for those cases where people gather to engage in large-scale gambling,
What will we do in detail then? You just said that we should try our best to avoid foreign investors, and try our best to protect local big entrepreneurs, and we should not seize too many local officials at once. In this way
The pressure on us will be even greater. When we arrest people, the leaders will probably think that we are selective and purposeful in arresting people. This is a political issue. Mayor Feng, what can I do now?
Make your words clear. I will have to report to the leaders before arresting people. Only after you agree will I issue the order to arrest people. But if I miss the opportunity to arrest because of this, then I won't care."
What he said is indeed a problem, and such a problem is not something he can bear alone. Moreover, it still involves the issue of cadres. Although the three of us are members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, this matter ultimately had to be decided by Secretary Rong.
That's it.
Mayor Wu and I immediately looked at each other. After a while, I said: "In this way, when the time comes, you can directly ask Secretary Rong for instructions, and if she says to arrest him, just arrest him. This way, no time will be wasted."
Mayor Wu also agrees with my opinion.
The next day I went to Secretary Rong again. I reported to her the results of our discussion the night before, and she greatly agreed. She smiled and said to me: "Mayor Feng, you don't need to make a special trip for such a thing.
To report to me, just talk on the phone. I found that you are still too cautious. Mayor Feng, you should know that I am not someone who takes certain things very seriously. As the municipal party committee secretary, I can take some things seriously.
Just keep the overall situation under control, there is no need to hold on to all the power so tightly."
I believe she is telling the truth, but I can't do that. I said: "Secretary Rong, I know. But everything has to follow rules, right? The more you let go of our work, the more we should pay attention to it.
Procedural issues.”
She smiled and said: "You, I can't talk to you. Then let's do it this way. I recently held a city-wide cadre meeting to talk about some things together. It's not just the gambling problem, but also the cadre style.
and other disciplinary issues for cadres.”
Then I said to her: "Secretary Rong, actually, I came to you today because Director Lu asked us a question..."
Immediately, I told her Director Lu's problem. After hearing this, she smiled and said, "Why are you all like this? Why do you have so many worries?"
I immediately said to her seriously: "Secretary Rong, it's the same question as before. We all have to form a habit in matters like this, and we must not destroy the procedure at will.
This is not a matter for us in Shangjiang City, but for the entire officialdom of our country, and also for foreign countries. Each of us has our own position, and we can only do our part well, otherwise something will happen.
Now that we have met a reasonable municipal party secretary like you, what will happen in the future? So, we'd better just follow the rules, this is the best way to deal with things."
She nodded and said: "Mayor Feng, I understand your thoughts. Maybe it's because I have been working in provincial agencies before, so I don't have much experience with such things. In fact, now I also understand and feel that, as a municipal party committee
Secretary, of course I hope that my subordinates will act according to the rules and procedures. But I am not that kind of old-timer. I prefer that my subordinates can carry out their work innovatively. As long as they do not violate the general principles, I think everything will be done.
Can.
You can do your job boldly and do it well, and you don’t need to report everything to me. As long as you feel it is right, as long as you act in accordance with the principles before doing things and fully weigh the pros and cons, then you will be fine.
You should do it boldly. If something happens, I, the municipal party committee secretary, will still speak for you and take responsibility for you. This is indeed my truest thought.
Of course, we also have to be strategic about some things and cannot act recklessly. It is also necessary for you to report to me on big problems, but there is no need for small things. For example, the matter you just mentioned, I think it is very simple, as long as you do things
People have no selfish motives, and I also mentioned the issue of principles, so when the time comes, just follow the principles I set.
No matter who is caught, they will be dealt with how to deal with it. Now that you put this issue in front of me, you mean to let me decide who should be arrested and who should not be arrested. Haha! Mayor Feng, what I said
It’s the truth. If you do this, wouldn’t others think I have a tendency?”
I couldn't help but feel ashamed. Her words actually talked about something we had talked about and worried about before: handing over conflicts. This is the most disgusting thing about being a leader. Maybe she and I are at the same level, just for the job.
I was surprised, so I didn’t particularly regard her as an important leader in my heart, so I didn’t think so much about this matter.
Of course she is a smart person, and she immediately realized that this matter might bring her a lot of trouble. Because of this, she told me directly like this. At this time, I also realized that we
The previous idea was indeed very immature. She is the municipal party committee secretary, so she should stand at the back. When something happens to us in the front, she can come out to speak for us and have room for buffering. In the final analysis, this matter is just like the above.
The same time she sent me to find Secretary Fang. (To be continued)
