However, I thought about the "deal" between Governor Huang and me, and what Lin Yu said to me that day. In fact, her words were accurately warning me, and my heart was completely
I understand what she said makes sense.
So, I became hesitant and confused.
And now, she has asked me about this matter again, which makes me have to answer her.
"Sister, I haven't decided yet." I had to tell her the truth.
"Why?" she asked. There was no surprise on her face. Instead, she was looking at me with a smile.
"I'm afraid I won't be qualified for that job." I said with a wry smile, "Besides, I am over thirty years old and I still work as a secretary, so I feel a bit..."
She suddenly laughed, "Do you think it is so easy to be the deputy governor's secretary? What level is your classmate Kang Demao? He is one year older than you, right? Feng Xiao, sometimes your thoughts are really
Strange. It seems to me that you are not worried that you are not qualified for that job. I think the real reason is that you do not want to change your current working environment. You are now the director of the medical university and the director of the obstetrics and gynecology department of the affiliated hospital.
If you are qualified for these two positions, then there should be no problem in working as a secretary to the deputy governor. It’s just that the way you think about issues and perspectives will change from now on. I told you last time,
The best thing for you now is to leave the place where you are now. If something happens by then, it will be impossible for you to have such an opportunity. By then, you may have no choice but to seek self-employment. You
Yeah, why are you so ignorant?"
I muttered: "If you want to be self-employed, just be self-employed."
She looked at me and said, "Are you sure you won't regret it in the future? When you see your former colleagues succeeding in their careers, and even those who are far inferior to you in ability are doing very well, let's take your classmate Kang Demao as an example.
When you became mayor or municipal party secretary, did you really not regret giving up now?"
I was speechless because I suddenly thought of Wang Xin. Yes, if that day really comes, will I regret it? Even if I can still continue to work in the hospital as I am now and continue to be the director of my obstetrics and gynecology department
And the director of the school, when I watch Wang Xin flourish day by day, will my heart be balanced?
Lin Yu was still looking at me, "Feng Xiao, a person has to think about the future and be prepared for danger in times of peace. Do you understand?"
I asked: "Sister, do you really think something will happen to me in the future?"
She shook her head and said: "Didn't I just say that? Be prepared for danger in times of peace. Oh, maybe this word is not appropriate. It should be called taking precautions, or taking precautions before they happen. There are many variables in our lives, and sometimes we have to predict them in advance.
Think about certain issues. Life is short, but you must avoid a lot of risks. This is the most important thing, do you understand?"
I deeply agree, but... "Sister, I feel that I am not at any risk now. Everything is fine now."
She glared at me and said, "You, the most fundamental problem is to be content with the status quo. What you just said is completely deceiving yourself. Don't you think so? Are you, a doctor, really so content with the status quo? When you see your
Are you so indifferent when patients have to give you red envelopes and have to suffer high medical expenses? No way? But have you ever thought about it? What does it take to change that status quo? It requires management and power to change
.These are things you can’t do in your current situation. Don’t you think so?”
I shook my head and said: "No matter how high-ranking an official you become, you can't change this situation, because it is a country's institutional problem. Sister, let me tell you something to make you angry. You were once the municipal party committee secretary. You can change the situation under your jurisdiction."
Is it expensive or difficult for people in that place to get medical treatment?"
She immediately laughed, with a very proud expression on her face, "Feng Xiao, then you are wrong. Although I have not been the municipal party secretary of that place for a long time, I have accomplished several very important tasks. First,
The second is to renovate old cities, the third is to repair dilapidated buildings in primary and secondary schools in the city, and allocate funds to relocate and build those with particularly serious problems. The fourth is to increase investment in township health centers and community hospitals. Although I
I haven’t had time to think about how to solve the problems that exist in the treatment of major diseases of the common people, but I have at least provided the common people with the most basic cheap medical treatment channels. You are right, medical problems are very complicated, and many aspects are at the level of the national system.
It is caused by problems. After all, our country is too big, and the situation in each region is completely different. The country's financial resources are also very limited, but at least I can be a party to the government, and then use the power in my hands to do more for the people.
Do something. This is a problem that a doctor cannot solve at all. Power is a double-edged sword. If it is used to benefit the people, it can benefit one party. If it is used for your own interests, sooner or later
It is a prison where you will not be free in the future. Of course, the things here are very complicated. After all, we are human beings, and we have our own emotions and desires. It is not impossible to use power to solve some problems for ourselves appropriately. The key to the problem is
At that level, you need to grasp it yourself. In fact, in the final analysis, this level is still what I talked about before: risk aversion."
Her words made my heart surge, and I began to have a lot of confidence in myself, so I thought about it and said, "Sister, what you said is really good. I... That's fine, I'll listen to you."
She looked at me and smiled, "You are still hesitant, right? It doesn't matter, think about it again. But I want to remind you a few things. You must pay attention to several things after entering politics in the future. This is very important. Feng Xiao, I hope
You will always remember what my sister said to you today."
I nodded, "Sister, tell me."
So she said: "Feng Xiao, you have many advantages, such as being compassionate, sincere to others, knowing how to forgive, emphasizing love and justice, and not particularly focusing on money, etc. These are very important to a man.
They are all particularly excellent qualities, and in a certain aspect they are also the basis for politics, because no matter how complicated the officialdom is, it is still a human world. In addition to important qualities such as wisdom and sensitivity, the officialdom attaches more importance to a person.
That's why I think you are more suitable for that job. But you have a lot of shortcomings, and these shortcomings are likely to cause fatal harm to you in the future. Therefore, I want to take advantage of today's
I have the opportunity to talk to you about this matter, which is the main reason why I asked you to come here today."
I put down my chopsticks and said, "Sister, tell me, I will definitely pay attention to the issues you are going to talk about today in the future. In fact, I also know that I have some shortcomings, but I probably don't realize that my character weaknesses may affect my life."
How much harm will it cause in the future? I rarely think about such issues. As you just said, I am indeed somewhat content with the status quo."
She smiled and said: "It seems that you are not so insensitive. Come, you eat, come, let's have a drink and talk about it. Don't be so nervous. I don't mean to criticize you, just remind you.
"
I immediately went to offer her a drink and said, "Okay, sister, you can tell me."
"Your first problem is that you are too soft-hearted. Some people say that officialdom is like a battlefield. This sentence is indeed true. It can even be said that sometimes the bloodiness of officialdom is even worse than that of the battlefield. The battlefield is where everyone is facing each other with swords and guns.
, but this is not necessarily the case in the officialdom. The battle in the officialdom is a contest of wisdom, and the results are sometimes more cruel. In the Ming Dynasty, Fang Xiaoru was executed by the nine tribes. In fact, in the final analysis, it was the result of the struggle in the officialdom. In the modern history of China,
Many examples also illustrate this problem, so I won’t go into more details. Feng Xiao, your character is sometimes too weak. This is your biggest problem. Your character must change after entering the officialdom. You need to know
, being ruthless to your political opponents is the best way to protect yourself. The centipede is dead but not stiff. Once it recovers and comes back to life, it is likely to bite you, and that bite is often fatal."
she began.
I couldn't help but shudder, "Sister, this is too scary."
She smiled and said: "It's scary. But officialdom is also a place where wise people gather. The battles in officialdom have never stopped, because so many outstanding people gather together, it is impossible not to have conflicts. But this kind of competition of wisdom
It's another kind of fun. What do people live for? Isn't it just to fight? People who don't like fighting will always be mediocre. Although many people have longed for a life like a peach blossom garden from ancient times to the present, you find that
Have you ever? Those people are actually losers in the officialdom. Because they failed, they began to despair of reality, so they had no choice but to escape. Therefore, those who choose to escape are cowards and are the ones abandoned by society.
A person who has been excellent. Feng Xiao, you are a man. To be honest, I have always felt that it is inappropriate for you to be an obstetrician and gynecologist as a man. That job is not what a man should do at all. Men should be independent
The sword is between heaven and earth, and you should fight according to your dreams. Feng Xiao, I don’t believe that your original dream was to do your current career, am I right?”
I nodded.
She continued: "Of course, not everyone can realize their original dream, it depends on opportunities. Of course it is appropriate to be content with the status quo when there are no such opportunities, but Feng Xiao, the opportunities are now there
The door is knocking on you, why do you still close your door tightly? The ancients even knew the principle of "If you don't get it from heaven, you will suffer the consequences; if you fail to do it in time, you will suffer the consequences", that is to say,
If you don't accept what God has given you, you will be punished; if you don't act when the time comes, you will suffer disaster. Therefore, you should not have any hesitation now. This is actually a cowardly aspect of your character." (Unfinished)
