Secretary Wu told me that Director Zou recently said to him: As a member of the officialdom, it is like flying on an airplane. A smooth landing is more important than anything else.
I burst out laughing after hearing this. What Director Zou said is right. The official career of an official is like a passenger in a plane in mid-air. As long as the plane does not land, dangers will always exist. In fact, these words also reflect it.
The mentality of few officials, and in the final analysis, this mentality is still fear and worry.
Compared with other means of transportation, airplanes are much safer. Many people know this. However, there are many people who are afraid of flying because people know that once the airplane crashes, death is almost 100%. This is
Just like the situation in the officialdom, although the proportion of people who get into trouble is very small, once they are found out, they are basically doomed.
Therefore, officials in the officialdom have the same mentality as passengers on the plane. As long as the plane does not land safely, the fear and uneasiness in their hearts will always exist.
Director Zou is a person who has experienced the risks of officialdom. After something happened to Governor Wang’s secretary last time, the fire almost burned him. Obviously, that incident must have left him with lingering fears until now. Now,
Director Zou finally landed safely, and the relief in his heart was of course self-evident.
Therefore, when Secretary Wu said this, I immediately understood in my heart, and I couldn't help laughing.
We met at a restaurant in the provincial capital on Saturday. I arranged to go to a very unique restaurant with a nice environment. I didn’t arrange to go to Zhong Feng’s place because there were too many beauties in her place and that kind of environment would
It will affect our conversation. Of course, it is even more impossible for me to arrange for them to go to Yu Min's place. It is best not to let others know about the relationship between Yu Min and me.
In the evening, several directors from the Provincial Department of Health and several people from the Medical University also came to attend the dinner. Everyone seemed to be acquaintances, so they felt very friendly as soon as they met.
Director Zou and I hadn't seen each other for a long time, and he was very happy to see me. After shaking hands with me, he looked at me with a smile, "Xiao Feng, you are in good shape now, and your temperament is different from before."
Secretary Wu said from the side: "That's right. Xiao Feng now has more dignity than before. After being a leader for so many years, his temperament has naturally changed."
I smiled bitterly and said, "Are the two old leaders praising me or making fun of me?"
Secretary Wu laughed, "Of course I praise you. We are telling the truth. A person's temperament needs practice and experience to cultivate it. You can't pretend it."
I hurriedly said: "Two leaders, please stop making fun of me. Please sit down, let's have a few more drinks tonight. There is no theme today, it's just old friends drinking together. Secretary Wu's new appointment has not been announced yet.
, Secretary Wu will treat you to that matter again when the time comes."
Everyone laughs.
At this time Director Zou came over and pulled my sleeve, "Xiao Feng, let's go out and talk."
I nodded and then said to Secretary Wu: "Boss, please help me arrange the food and drinks."
Then I followed Director Zou to a quiet place outside the private room. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and looked at me, "Have you learned to smoke now?"
I shook my head, "I can't learn. Director Zou, tell me, what are your orders?"
He asked me: "Xiao Feng, was it you who recommended Lao Wu to the Provincial Health Department?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "Where do I have so much energy? He is the party committee secretary of the Medical University, and it is normal for him to go to the provincial health department. Do you think so?"
He laughed "haha" and said: "It's not important. But I am very satisfied with this arrangement in the organization. Mayor Feng, you and Secretary Wu are very good friends, and the relationship between you has reached the point where you can talk about everything."
You and I have been old friends for many years, and I know how you behave. But I am only familiar with Lao Wu, and our relationship is not as good as that between you and me, and you and him. Therefore, I very much hope that you
I can find opportunities to communicate with him in the future. Xiao Feng, do you understand what I mean?"
I was stunned for a moment and then said: "Director Zou, according to the rules of officialdom, the successor will not interfere with the predecessor's affairs under normal circumstances. There are so many things in the province's health system, and it is not easy to do well now.
Who has the time and energy to go over the previous things? You think so?"
He smiled at me and said: "Xiao Feng is indeed a smart person. But I know that Lao Wu has been working in a university before, so I don't know if he understands some rules."
I smiled and said: "Director Zou, there is no difference between universities and officialdom nowadays, so don't worry."
He patted my shoulder and said, "Xiao Feng, it's better if you remind him of some things. It's not very convenient for me."
I nodded, "Don't worry. In fact, there is no need to remind me, just one or two sentences is enough. We are all within the system, and we all know some things well."
He nodded, "Yes. Today's work is difficult. If everything is done according to the rules, this job will be impossible. Especially for someone like me who has worked in a department for so many years.
There are no problems, it’s simply impossible.”
I nodded, "Yes. Director Zou, let's go in first, everyone is waiting."
He smiled at me and said, "Let's go drink!"
Of course, I completely understand the worries in his heart. Although he has landed smoothly now, this does not mean that he is completely safe now. There are also many cadres who have been investigated and punished after retreating.
He was right. As the head of the unit, and he had been in office for so many years, it was impossible that there would be no problems at all. And it was difficult to say if there were any big problems, so he was worried that Secretary Wu would go through his previous records after he took office.
Actually, what I told him was the truth. People in the officialdom would not get involved in the affairs of their predecessors under normal circumstances. One day I would also become my predecessor. Everyone knows the truth behind this.
Even for a person like me who has never made profits for myself in my position, it is inevitable that some problems will arise in actual work. As Director Zou said, if some things are done according to procedures and rules,
If so, it simply won’t work. Of course, I don’t believe that Director Zou, like me, never seeks profit for himself. I still know a little about him, but he doesn’t have the guts to earn some of his own money from the things he is in charge of.
I think it is still possible to make safer money. (To be continued)
