I didn't send him out because I already felt that he was extremely unnatural. If I sent him out, he would be even more embarrassed.
When I gave him cigarettes just now, it was definitely not a momentary impulse, nor was it a favor to him from above. My idea was very simple, that is, I hoped that he would not come to me for such a thing again.
Ultimately, this is a skill for dealing with people. As for me, I am better than him in every aspect. Under such circumstances, I even took the initiative to give him something, and those two cigarettes cost close to 2,000 yuan.
thing, under such circumstances, it is impossible for him to come to me again. In the final analysis, I want him to feel embarrassed to visit my door again.
But I still miscalculated. I didn't expect that Wang Xin's wife still came to see me the next day. It was Xiao Xu who came to inform me. He told me: "Director Wang's wife is outside, and she has to ask for help."
See you."
Yesterday, I was very proud of Wang Xin and called him "Director Wang" in front of my secretary. Although his position is director now, after all, the position of director cannot be completely linked to the director.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Then please invite her in."
Wang Xin's wife came in. At this moment, I found that she seemed to be thinner than before. I didn't pay much attention to her when I was on the street that day.
I politely asked her to sit down, and Xiao Xu made tea for her. I sat opposite her, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong? By the way, Wang Xin just came to my place yesterday."
She nodded, "I know. He has been sighing there since he went back yesterday. I asked him for a long time, and then he said he came to see you. Feng Xiao, I won't call you Mayor Feng, because I know you are a good person.
, you are also very kind-hearted, and you have been helping our family Wang Xin. Also, Wang Xin doesn’t know that I came to your place today."
I was thinking: This is right. If Wang Xin knows, then he is too ignorant of the world. I smiled at her and said, "Oh? Tell me, is there anything you need my help with?"
She said: "Our family Wang Xin is very capable in all aspects. Although he has made mistakes before, they were all in the past. I am his wife, and I can forgive him for those things. The leaders of the school did not
Why hold on to him? I know that you have a good relationship with the leaders of the school, especially Secretary Wu. Feng Xiao, Mayor Feng, I am looking for you today because I hope you can help him again.
Now that you are a big shot, I also hope that you will stop worrying about the things that happened to our Wang Xin in the past. What is happening to our Wang Xin now, in the final analysis, is it not just a word from you people? He has been having bad luck now, and now
The only one who can help him is you. After all, you have a good relationship with the school leaders. After all, you and our Wang Xin used to be friends. Feng Xiao, you used to look down on me. I understand that. After all, I am ugly, but
I also know that you have actually had a hard time these years. This is how people live their lives. This kind of thing goes well, and that kind of thing doesn't go well... Look at me, what did I say? Feng Xiao, you
Don’t laugh at me?”
What she said was indeed very trivial. Most women seem to be like this. I smiled and said: "I understand what you mean. But you should also know that after all, I am not the leader of a medical university now, so I can't say too much about some things."
Speaking. Moreover, I have said good things about your Wang Xin in front of the school leaders more than once. Not long ago, when Secretary Wu came to our Shangjiang City, I recommended him to Secretary Wu in front of Wang Xin.
The future director of the hospital. But as for what the school leaders will do in the future, I can’t say anything more. Wang Xin came to see me yesterday about the same thing, and I told him directly about it."
She was silent. After a while, she suddenly raised her head and asked me: "Feng Xiao, can you transfer him to your place?"
I was stunned for a moment, "This is impossible. The government is a civil service system, and Wang Xin is a public institution. Currently, he is at the director level. Even if he wants to be transferred, he must be assigned the position of director or deputy director. I am
Mayor, I don’t care about cadres, and even if I have the right to speak, I can’t arrange such things. Local things are very complicated, and I really don’t have the ability, so I’m sorry. I’m sorry..."
She looked at me, "You mean, you can actually arrange for him, but you may not be able to arrange a good seat for him. Is that what you mean? It doesn't matter, Wang Xin is so bullied in school right now.
Rather than doing this, it’s better to leave.”
I didn't expect that she would understand it this way, and said hurriedly: "That's not what I meant. I definitely don't have the ability to transfer him to work here. Really. To put it at a step back, think about it, if I had that ability to transfer him to work here,
If you are transferred to us, as I said just now, the most you can do is become a director, deputy director or something like that. If you think about this from Wang Xin's perspective... Haha! Think about it, now I am the mayor here.
Mr. Wang Xin and I used to be colleagues and friends. He once held a higher position than me. If that were the case, wouldn’t it make him feel even more inferior? And it’s not convenient for me to assign work to him, let alone
Maybe criticize him. In this case, how can the two of us get along? Of course, this is impossible. I was just making a metaphor."
Her face was full of disappointment, "That's true. I understand. But now that he is in this situation... Feng Xiao, can you help him find a way? I know that what men need most is a career. Now our family
If Wang Xin loses hope, his life will be ruined."
I shook my head, "I don't agree with your statement.
First, he is now a division-level cadre in a university, which is not a low level. Not everyone can reach his level. Maybe you think my current level is higher than him, so I hope he can be like me.
.This is unrealistic, because everyone’s situation is different. At the age of Wang Xin and I, most people are at the senior level.
Second, when a person reaches a position like mine, the pressure will be much greater. As the saying goes? The higher you climb, the more painful the fall may be. You also know what happened to Wang Xin in the past. Fortunately, he
Didn't make a big mistake, otherwise the situation might have been much worse.
In fact, the mistakes he made at that time were not entirely his fault, but were determined by our current system. As officials, we can only pay attention to our principles and bottom lines at all times. But there are too many desires in this society, especially powerful officials
, the more temptations they face.
What’s more, there are hidden dangers everywhere in the officialdom. Wang Xin, like me, both graduated from colleges and universities. Fortunately, I also transitioned between the Provincial Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital and the Provincial Admissions Office. Otherwise, I would not be able to adapt to the current situation.
of all this.
People who come out of our colleges and universities are actually very simple, with upright and forthright personalities. This kind of personality is the most likely to make mistakes. Xiaohui, I have never said these words to others, and what I tell you today is the truth.
What I mean is actually very simple, that is, if a person really becomes an official, it may not be a good thing. The higher the level, the greater the risks he faces.
Look at the officials who have had trouble now. They used to be so prestigious, but what happened to them later? Our former secretary and mayor of Shangjiang City are now being imprisoned there...
Hey! I don’t want to say any more. I was a little excited just now because I wanted to tell you the truth. So, Wang Xin’s current situation may be his blessing. Don’t you think so? "
When I was saying this, she had been listening quietly. I noticed that her expression changed a lot. After I finished speaking, she sighed and said softly: "Feng Xiao, thank you. I
I believe what you said is true. I won’t say anything more, thank you.”
Immediately, she stood up, and I immediately stood up, looked at her, and said to her sincerely: "Thank you for your understanding. But please believe that if I have the opportunity, I will still try my best to help him."
She nodded, "I know. But forget it. Everyone has their own destiny, and many things cannot be forced. I completely understand what you just said. If a person forces something too much, it may end up being bad.
Feng Xiao, I hope you are always well, don't be greedy, and live a safe life. Also, if you meet the right woman, get married as soon as possible. It's pitiful that you are alone now."
I was very touched and said, "Thank you. I know."
She nodded to me and left. I walked her out the door, but she didn't look back.
Looking at her thin and short back, I couldn't help but sigh: Although this woman has a bad temper and average appearance, she is definitely a good woman and a good wife! Isn't it a blessing that Wang Xin has her?
I hope Wang Xin can cherish everything he has now.
After returning to the office, I sat there for a long time. Then I suddenly realized that today was already the weekend. I picked up the phone and called the secretary-general, "Do you have any plans for this weekend?"
He said: "There is nothing urgent. Mayor Feng, do you have any instructions?"
I said: "Don't arrange other things on the weekend. I have to do something in the provincial capital. Unless it is an emergency, other things should be arranged for next week."
He said repeatedly: "Okay. I understand."
Then I picked up the phone and called Secretary Wu, "Secretary Wu, let's do it tomorrow night. I'll do the hosting. I'll invite Director Zou."
He said: "Okay. Mayor Feng, you should have a few more drinks with Director Zou tomorrow."
I was a little puzzled, "Why? He's about to get off? If I did that, wouldn't it embarrass him?"
He smiled and said: "No, he won't be embarrassed. He is in a good mood now."
I was even more puzzled, "Why?"
Then he said something to me, and I burst out laughing. (To be continued)
