"How are you, Brother Feng? How are you doing recently? I heard you went abroad?" She asked the waiter with a smile after asking the waiter to serve Lin Yi's favorite dishes.
I nodded, "Yes. I just came back."
She asked me again: "How was it? It was very rewarding, wasn't it?"
I was thinking in my heart: How can this be said? But I said: "Of course. But the scenery of New Zealand is indeed very beautiful. It is called paradise on earth."
She said: "Some people say that a person should find a small town to live in that can calm his heart, and then feel its beauty and tranquility with his heart. Brother Feng, have you found such a place?
"
I asked her: "What specific conditions does such a small town need?"
She shook her head and said: "I don't know either. But I understand that a place like that should make a person linger and live there for a lifetime, and be unwilling to leave until the end of his life."
It’s the place.”
I said, "Isn't it hard to find a place like this? Because in addition to having beautiful scenery, it should also be able to integrate your body and mind."
She said: "Yes. I actually hope that I can go to a place, such as a very quiet seaside town, where the air is fresh, flowers are blooming, trees are shaded, and there are not many people living there. It's like
Like a big garden, the people in the town are very friendly, there are no cars in the town, and there is no bustling business... It would be great if such a place existed."
I immediately laughed, "I like it too when you say that. But there shouldn't be such a place in our world, right?"
She smiled and said: "Yes, this is just the place in my dream."
I asked her: "Shangguan, your idea is certainly romantic, but I don't think it's appropriate. You are still so young, and you shouldn't yearn for that kind of quiet life so early. That kind of yearning should be that of middle-aged people.
Or maybe it’s a dream that only old people should have, right?”
She asked me: "Why?"
I said: "Only when a person feels tired of reality will he have such thoughts. Such thoughts are actually the pursuit of the kind of tranquility needed deep in the heart. So Shangguan, your dream is not related to your age.
conform to."
Her face suddenly turned red, "I'm an old girl, so of course I'm tired."
I couldn't help laughing, "You are such a beautiful old girl, I don't know how many people are pursuing you."
But she suddenly said something faintly: "A beauty has a bad life, her heart is as high as the sky, and her life is as thin as paper. This has been like this since ancient times. Do you think so?"
I was suddenly stunned, "Shangguan, who said that? Since ancient times, there have been so many beauties, how many of them are unlucky? Just because there are so many beauties and unlucky women, you can't have to associate their unfortunate experiences with yourself, right?
From a statistical point of view, the proportion of unlucky beauties in the population is less than one in 100,000."
She looked at me and said, "Brother Feng, you really see things differently. This is the first time I've heard someone say that. But, hehe! What you said seems to make sense."
I smiled and said, "It's not that what I said makes sense, but that what I said is a fact."
At this time, her cell phone rang, and she picked up the phone and answered, "Yes, Chairman. Okay, I understand."
Then she put down her phone and said to me: "Brother Feng, the chairman has something to do and is unable to come. He asked me to accompany you to dinner. He also said that I will solve your matter for you. Brother Feng, what exactly is it?
whats the matter?"
I thought to myself: Yes, this matter can be arranged by Shangguan Qin. So I said to her: "Shangguan, I want to trouble you to find a way to get Sun Lulu out of prison as soon as possible. Of course, this must be done through the law.
channels, such as medical parole or other means.”
She murmured: "Brother Feng, this matter is a bit troublesome. I have to think of a solution slowly."
I nodded, "Yes, there is some trouble."
She said: "Well, I'll ask the chairman for his specific ideas and then I'll discuss it with the lawyer. Brother Feng, don't worry about this matter. I think, since the chairman asked me to handle this matter, then he
You must have some preliminary ideas. Brother Feng, let's not talk about this matter anymore, because it has no practical significance to continue talking about it now. I have to go to the chairman in person to ask for instructions before we talk about everything. Now let's eat."
I found that except for a portion of shredded pork with green pepper, the rest of the dishes on the table were vegetarian, so I couldn't help but ask: "Does my father-in-law like to eat dishes like this on weekdays?"
She came to me with a smile and said, "Why don't you know?"
I smiled bitterly, "Ashamed. Most of the times he and I ate together were in hotels, and even at home there were guests. By the way, we also went for fast food once, but that was a long time ago."
She smiled and said: "The chairman has very simple requirements when it comes to food. On weekdays, he only has two dishes and one soup."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "He earns so much money, why does it bother him?"
She shook her head and said: "It seems that you don't understand the chairman very well. He actually has very simple requirements for his life, but he regards making money as a career, and he hopes to build his own business empire.
"
I said, "I know that."
She sighed and shook her head, "But it's too difficult to accomplish something now."
I suddenly laughed, "This person is different. I don't have any ambitions. In my opinion, he should be very satisfied with his current achievements."
She also laughed immediately, "This is called 'The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan' haha!"
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
She immediately said: "Brother Feng, I am planning to go to Tibet in April or May next year. Do you have time to accompany me then?"
I asked her in surprise: "Why do you want to go to a place like that?"
She smiled and answered me: "I want to find the paradise of my dreams. How about we go find it together?"
Tibet, that is also the place I yearn for. I thought to myself. Then I asked her: "Where are you free?"
She answered me: "I haven't taken a vacation for several years. The chairman recently told me to take a few months off next year. Brother Feng, will you accompany me then?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know if I will have time then."
She said: "That's why I tell you in advance now. This way you can make arrangements in advance."
I still shook my head and said, "It depends on the situation at that time. Shangguan, I really am not sure."
She sighed: "I know. In fact, your time is not your own. We are all very tired."
I smiled and said: "Why are you so old-fashioned? Okay, I will try my best to arrange it when the time comes. Is that okay now?"
She suddenly became happy, and then stretched out the little finger of her right hand, "Let's pull the hook."
At this moment, my heart suddenly trembled, because I suddenly remembered that Zhang Shiyu wanted to hook up with me but was rejected by me. But now, I can't bear to reject her, because she has always tried her best.
help me.
So I stretched out my little finger and hooked it with hers.
She hooked me with her little finger, and at the same time she shook my hand gently, "Pull the hook, pull the hook, don't change it for a hundred years!"
I smiled and said, "Okay, no change."
At this moment, a strong warmth suddenly surged in my heart, as well as the joy of my childhood that I had not seen for a long time.
The group of people who were sent to serve were appointed in advance. Because I remember Kang Demao told me that the initial period was after the Spring Festival.
Kang Demao called me and said he was going down soon. While I congratulated him, I also asked him in surprise: "Why are you going down so early?"
He replied: "The Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee only recommended that the local congress appoint me as county magistrate. This is the case for other people who serve in government departments, because our final appointment must go through the election of the local people's congress. In order to ensure the organizational intention
For this to be realized, I must go ahead and serve as the acting county magistrate, so that the local people’s congress deputies can get familiar with me first. Those who hold deputy positions don’t matter, but I am completely different.”
I knew very little about this situation before, but now I understood it immediately after hearing what he said. However, I became a little worried about his affairs, so I asked him again: "What if something goes wrong with the election then?"
What to do next?”
He laughed: "That situation is almost impossible, because the organizational intention must be realized. If it cannot be realized, the top leader of the local party organization and the director of the National People's Congress will be punished or even removed from office."
I felt relieved immediately and couldn't help but smile: "So awesome?"
It seemed that he was in a good mood, so he patiently explained to me on the phone: "Of course. The election is a major event. The leaders of the local party committee and people's congress must do everything possible to realize the intentions of the higher-level organization. If there is any problem,
That means that the local party committee leaders and the director of the National People’s Congress do not have enough control. In other words, if there is a problem with their abilities, they will of course be punished or removed from their posts.”
I understood immediately, so I smiled and said, "The organizational intention is really powerful."
He smiled and said: "Of course. We are in power. If we can't do this well, how can we govern well? The basis of governance is to employ people. Only when the problem of employing people is solved can we implement various principles and policies.
Implement it to the letter.”
I thought what he said sounded a bit awkward, because it didn't seem to be said like this in the education I received before. But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that what he just said seemed more realistic.
"De Mao, let me take some time to say goodbye to you and congratulate you," I said.
But he said: "I don't have time. The office will hold a farewell party for me right away, and then I have to go down immediately."
I didn't expect that the time schedule was so tight, so I smiled and said, "Okay, I will make a special trip to visit you as my parents when I go back to my hometown during the Spring Festival."
He said: "That is the best. I will treat you to a drink then."
I smiled and said, "It can only be your own money. Don't affect your election."
He laughed: "That's okay. But even if I hire you with public funds, it won't have any impact on my election. The current situation is that it's abnormal for leaders to handle the business at their own expense."
I also laughed because what he just said reflected a phenomenon that is taken for granted in today's officialdom.
Then we chatted for a while, and at the end he suddenly said to me: "Feng Xiao, there is something that I probably shouldn't tell you. But I can't help but want to tell you."
I suddenly realized that what he was going to tell me might be a big thing, "De Mao, who among us is with whom? Just tell me, I won't tell anyone."
He said: "Didn't the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee come to talk to me recently? I went there. As a result, I heard a message that you were about to be transferred to the Provincial Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital as the director. You know this yourself.
Something?"
I asked in surprise: "Dean?"
He said: "Yes, it's the dean. Although we are a public institution, you are still higher than me in terms of rank. I am the chief and you are the deputy director. I should also wish you the best. Feng Xiao,
You guys, why don’t you reveal any information to me?”
I was immediately confused: Is it the dean? Not the executive vice dean? Or the deputy director? No way? "De Mao, I really don't know. Is your information reliable?"
I felt that I had not lied to him, because that was not what Lin Yu told me at the time.
He said: "You don't want to think about where I came from before. But since you don't know yet, it's best to pretend you don't know anything and just pretend you didn't hear me say this."
Then he hung up the phone. I didn't quite believe what he said. To be honest, in my heart, I should believe Lin Yu more. Of course, only I know this. Sometimes I think, maybe for
I have already relied on Lin Yu for a long time, and this dependence has become even stronger now.
But I couldn't call Lin Yu because she didn't tell me about it.
However, I found that my heart is still filled with a desire. Now I realize that I still care about my position. But, are the principal dean and deputy director really mine? In this regard, I
There was a helpless suspicion in my heart.
Then I changed my mind and thought: If I were really asked to be the director of that obstetrics and gynecology hospital, would I be able to do it? So, I felt another kind of fear in my heart.
However, what I didn't expect was that I received a notification that afternoon. The phone call came from the Organizational Cadres Office of the Provincial Department of Health, telling me to go to their place immediately.
I had a direct hunch that this notification was related to my transfer. There shouldn't be any other suspense about it.
When I received the call, I was immediately excited. In addition, I also had an expectation in my heart: Is what Kang Demao said true?
However, I still didn't receive Lin Yu's call.
On the way to the Provincial Health Department, I couldn't help but make a call to Lin Yu, "Sister, the Provincial Health Department informed me to go to them in the afternoon to get it. Does this matter have something to do with my transfer?"
She chuckled and said, "Of course. It's the organizational departments and leaders of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department and the Health Department who want to talk to you."
I said, "Is this too hasty? I'm not prepared at all."
She said: "I believe in your ability. And a sudden conversation like this can better show your ability. What you told me that day about your gains from this trip abroad is very important, which will be very helpful for you to plan the development blueprint of a hospital in the future."
Be persuasive. Just follow this line of thinking and talk to them, but don’t be rhetorical.”
I said, "Sister, I understand. But does the school know about this? Will Principal Zhang interfere with it?"
She said: "He doesn't know yet. While the superior organization is talking to you this afternoon, they have already sent people to the medical university to inspect you. That is just a process. Don't worry, I have taken care of this matter for you.
It has been arranged, because today your Principal Zhang is holding a symposium on university development and reform at the provincial government. Participants are not allowed to use mobile phones. So the person who is inspecting you will go directly to your Principal Wu and he will take them there.
The organization department of your school."
Of course I wouldn't believe that she suggested that the provincial leaders hold such a meeting because of my own business. I'm not that important yet. But I admire her very much for making full use of such an opportunity. Today is Thursday afternoon,
After the meeting, it must be time to get off work in the afternoon. At that time, the inspection and conversation with me would have ended at the same time. Maybe the next day, that is, Friday, my official appointment would be announced. And by that time, Principal Zhang
I have no choice but to accept this result.
After thinking about it, I still felt that I should call Lin Yi. Because I was very worried about what would go wrong with my transfer, and the person who could best restrain Principal Zhang should actually be him.
Lin Yi said something after listening to what I said, and his words were filled with emotion, "Secretary Lin is really amazing. He is the last to come first, and he thinks carefully. He is really the best among women. Feng Xiao, don't worry, tonight I will
I will go find that Zhang and have a good talk."
I asked: "Didn't you ask me to be the executive vice president last time? Why would someone from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee want to talk to me?"
She chuckled and said, "You'll know when you go there."
I immediately understood: It seemed that the information Kang Demao told me was accurate, because only cadres at the deputy department level or above would be interviewed by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee.
I suddenly became excited, but in my heart I felt uneasy about the conversation I was about to face.
When I arrived outside the Provincial Health Department, I suddenly remembered that I shouldn't drive this car today because it was too ostentatious. But after thinking about it, I thought it didn't matter: since the people from the procuratorate investigated me and proved that I had a car accident.
If I want to be financially clean, what else am I afraid of?
Although I have never been to the Provincial Department of Health, I still know its location, and the floors and specific office numbers of each department are clearly marked in the beautiful office building of the Department of Health.
However, I didn't expect that the management of this place was so strict, because when I just entered the office building, I was asked to take out my ID card or work permit to register.
And after registration, the staff still asked me: "What are you doing at the group office?"
I said with a little pride in my heart: "They informed me to come."
He glanced at me and said, "Wait a minute, I'll call and ask."
I suddenly felt unhappy: Who do you think I am? Then I heard him saying my name into the phone, and then put down the phone, "Director Feng, please come up."
I was suddenly curious, "Can I ask? Why do you have such strict control over people entering and exiting here?"
The man smiled bitterly and said: "There is no way, the contradiction between doctors and patients is too serious now, and some people come here to make unreasonable troubles."
I nodded and took the elevator upstairs. However, I felt a little dissatisfied: the fundamental problem cannot be solved by blocking conflicts. Then I couldn't help but smile bitterly: Where is this method not being used now? Although many people know that solving conflicts should be
Just like Dayu in ancient times when he controlled floods, dredging is the best way. However, dredging is a big project and often causes a series of chain reactions. Where is the simple and fast way of directly "blocking"?
Most of today's officials are like this, who would do such thankless things? Thinking of this, I feel relieved, and at the same time, I feel that sometimes I am really ridiculously naive.
The Organizational Affairs Office of the Provincial Department of Health is on the eighth floor of the office building. This is a good floor. I just noticed when I was in the hall downstairs that in addition to the Organizational Affairs Office, there are also people related to the Party Committee on this floor.
Other departments. From this, I had a vague feeling: perhaps in this department-level unit, the power of the party committee exceeds that of the administration.
The person I went directly to find was the person who called me. He was the director of the team management office. I asked him his identity on the phone.
The director is not tall and looks very stable and mature. He is about forty years old.
After I introduced myself, he became very polite and even stretched out his hands to shake my hand, "Director Feng is so young. I have heard about you for a long time, but I still can't believe you are so..."
young."
I smiled and said, "I'm not young anymore, I'm already in my thirties."
He shook his head and said: "It is not easy for people in their thirties to become associate professor, department director, or director. This fully demonstrates your ability."
I kept saying: "Ashamed."
He said: "Director Feng, I have learned about your situation. You are very respected in your hospital. It is not easy for one person to do this." At this point, he looked at it.
Looking at the time, "Director Feng, today a director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary Qiu of the Party Leadership Group of our Provincial Department of Health are talking to you personally. Of course, I also want to participate. Well, I guess comrades from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee
It's already in Secretary Qiu's office, I'll make a call right away and ask."
I nodded and understood immediately: As the president of a hospital, this so-called deputy department level is not as important as the real deputy department level after all, so the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee only sent a division chief to talk to me.
That is a very normal thing.
The director of the team management office started to make a call, "Secretary Qiu, Director Feng from the Medical University has arrived in my office... Well, okay, I'll bring him up right away."
Then he said to me: "Director Feng, let's go up."
At this time, I asked him: "Director Jiang, what exactly is the matter that brought you to me today?"
He looked at me in surprise, "Don't you know?"
I shook my head, "I don't know."
He nodded slightly, "Oh, maybe you really don't know. That's the case. A hospital directly managed by our Department of Health currently needs a person in charge. After an organizational review, we feel that you are relatively suitable."
I suddenly showed a look of panic, "No way? Me? How can I be competent?"
In fact, I really have a feeling of panic in my heart.
He smiled at me, "The organization will never misjudge the person. Haha! Director Feng, let's go up."
When we were in the elevator, I couldn't help but ask him: "Director Jiang, this is the first time I have faced such a thing. Please teach me what to say, okay?"
I feel that it is not a loss of honor for me to ask him in this way, but it will be a sign of respect for him.
He smiled and said: "Director Feng is too polite."
I said sincerely: "Director Jiang, I feel really scared right now."
He looked at me, then smiled lightly and said: "I have great faith in Director Feng's ability, and the leaders know it even better. Director Feng, I am very happy to meet you today. I hope we can communicate more and keep in touch more in the future."
I hurriedly said: "Of course. Director Jiang, this is the first time I have come to your health department today. I feel very cordial as soon as I see you."
He seemed very happy, "Really? Great. Haha! When superiors talk to subordinates, you just need to pay attention to one thing: it is best to tell the truth. In fact, leaders usually hear too many lies.
Do you think so, Director Feng?"
I was deeply convinced and kept thanking him.
Secretary Qiu's office is at the bottom of this floor. Director Jiang took me to the door of his office. He started knocking on the door, and then I heard a deep voice coming from inside, "Come in."
Director Jiang opened the door and asked me to appear at the door, "Secretary Qiu, Director Feng from the Medical University is here."
I immediately saw a man in his fifties with a rosy complexion sitting in a large and beautiful office. I hurriedly said respectfully to him: "Secretary Qiu, hello. I am Feng Xiao."
He immediately stood up from behind the large desk, "Xiao Feng, come on, come in and sit down. Director Jiang, go downstairs immediately to pick up Director Sun from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee."
Director Jiang responded and left. Before leaving, he gently patted my arm with his hand. I cast a grateful look at him.
Secretary Qiu left his desk and immediately led me to the reception area of his office. He sat down opposite me with a smile on his face, "Xiao Feng, I have heard of you for a long time."
I hurriedly said: "Secretary Qiu, you are too polite. Why do I have such a famous name?"
He raised his head and laughed: "I know that Governor Huang admires you very much. Governor Huang is a leader I respect very much. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the person he likes."
I smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe it's because I often tell the truth in front of him? He likes to hear others tell the truth. Moreover, he is a leader from a university, so he may have a preference for people from universities."
He laughed again, "Xiao Feng, it seems that you are really different from other young people. Today is the first time we meet, but your first sentence gave me a good impression of you.
.Yes, I like young people with your personality. What you just said is really the truth, haha! I like to hear the truth."
I said: "Actually, you leaders want to hear the truth very much, but it is not that easy to really hear the truth."
He immediately looked at me with interest, "Why is this? Why is it so difficult for a leader to hear the truth? Xiao Feng, please talk about it."
I smiled lightly, "Secretary Qiu, actually you should know, because the truth often contains many things that are detrimental to reality. People at lower levels always hope that their leaders will see their abilities and shining points, and
The truth must contain many shortcomings at work, and these shortcomings are actually all kinds of troubles. On the one hand, people at lower levels do not want their leaders to cause trouble for themselves, and on the other hand, they do not want to cause trouble for their leaders, so
Hello, hello, hello everyone, big things have been reduced to small things, and small things have been reduced to small things. Isn’t this the tradition in our officialdom for thousands of years?"
He nodded slightly and said immediately: "What you said makes sense. But isn't our current reform aimed at changing this situation?"
I didn't expect that he would suddenly say such a high-sounding statement. I couldn't help but quietly observe his face, and found that his expression seemed to be very serious. I thought to myself: What kind of person is this secretary? Could it be that he looked very serious?
Is he also that kind of condescending bureaucrat? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but regret the truth I just said. But the words had already been spoken, and it was impossible to take them all back, so I followed his words and said: "Yes, you
That's right. Over the years of reform and opening up, our leaders at all levels have changed a lot from their traditional understanding. Because of this, we have achieved such great achievements in all walks of life. Take our medical reforms.
For example, there have been huge changes in both medical technology and medical services. Although there are still many shortcomings, overall people are quite satisfied."
I am a doctor, the director of a department in a hospital, and I am well aware of the problems that exist in the current medical reform process, so what I just said is a complete lie with my eyes open.
He shook his head and said, "Xiao Feng, you are not telling the truth. At present, we have many and very big medical problems. The people are also very dissatisfied with our medical problems. Xiao Feng, you
Don't have any worries. Today I really want to hear your real thoughts as a grassroots doctor. Tell me, what problems do you think currently exist in our health work? How do you think we should solve these problems? "
This problem was so big that I couldn't help but feel embarrassed. At this moment, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door of Secretary Qiu's office. It was Director Jiang, and he came in with someone. (To be continued)
