Cai Gen's sudden question stunned Liang Jian for a moment. () However, Liang Jian had already been mentally prepared before coming here, so he quickly answered: "This is exactly what I am not sure about, so
, I would like to ask your opinion. Do you think He Jianhua is suitable, or is it suitable to use our own comrades from the general office?" After saying that, Liang Jian looked at Cai Gen with sincere eyes.
Cai Gen smiled, turned around, squatted down while holding on to the edge of the table, pulled the pot of meat in front of his eyes, and then looked at it from side to side, ignoring Liang Jian for a while.
Liang Jian was not in a hurry and waited patiently.
"I heard that you have a lot of these succulents in your office. How are they doing?" Cai Gen suddenly asked.
Liang Jian hurriedly replied: "It's okay. I'm not proficient in this. Xiao Gong usually takes care of it for me."
"Really? You can try to take care of it yourself when you have time. I wasn't interested in this before, but now I suddenly discovered that sometimes fiddling is good. Being calm and calm helps keep the brain calm.
Think about the problem better." Cai Gen said as he reached out and gently picked off the two dry leaves of Lu Wei on the plant, and carefully buried them in the soil. Then, he looked at it carefully from front to back and left to right.
Finally, he put it back to its original position, then stood up by the table.
"I'll learn and try later." Liang Jian replied with a smile from behind.
After Cai Gen stood up straight, he walked around the table, returned to his seat, and sat down slowly. After sitting down, he didn't let Liang Jian sit down. He looked up at Liang Jian and asked, "What did you recommend to me last time?"
Which two comrades from the general office are you talking about?"
"Xu Lihua from the Administrative Office and Lin Fei from the Confidentiality Bureau." Liang Jian answered.
Cai Gen pondered for a moment and said: "Xu Lihua's character is too cowardly and not suitable."
Liang Jian nodded hurriedly: "You are right. I also discovered this later. I did not investigate enough before and was a little hasty." As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Gen took over: "You are indeed hasty. This
The position of deputy director of the General Office also has a great impact on the work of our municipal party committee. For this candidate, we still need to select talents and not nepotism!"
Liang Jian's heart was shocked. When the word "nepotism" came out of Cai Gen's mouth, the weight was so heavy. It was like a big stone suddenly pressed on Liang Jian's chest, and he immediately felt suffocated.
The feeling came over him. But fortunately, Liang Jian had gone through the storm and stabilized without losing his composure. He then immediately took over the words: "You are right. A cadre's ability is the most important first. Everything else comes second.
." After saying that, Liang Jian paused, then pretended to smile casually: "Actually, even if I want to use nepotism, I have no relatives to use! In this office, I am the one from outside!"
"That's wrong! What do you mean you are an outsider? You are the secretary-general of the municipal party committee, and you are responsible for the entire office! You want to treat the office as your own home, and you are the head of the household, so how can you become an outsider!
This kind of thinking must be changed!" Cai Gen said with fake anger.
Liang Jian hurriedly said yes.
Then, both of them were silent for a while, and the office suddenly became quiet. After about half a minute, Liang Jian tentatively asked: "Which one has been chosen, shall we choose He Jianhua?"
Cai Gendao: "There is no need to worry about this. You should compare first. I have also been in contact with Lin Fei, a comrade, and he is quite good. In terms of ability, He Jianhua may be more outstanding, but in terms of character, Lin Fei is better."
The attitude revealed by Cai Gen's words was different from what he said before about Liang Jian's nepotism. Liang Jian was immediately confused, what is Cai Gen's attitude?
Liang Jian didn't want to ask more questions, so after a few more words, he stood up and left. Jiang Shihuan made an appointment with him for dinner, so he couldn't stay too long.
On the way to the appointment, Liang Jian thought about Cai Gen's attitude in his mind. Cai Gen's attitude can be said to have had twists and turns. At first, he had an attitude of leaving Liang Jian's decision completely, but before in the office, he seemed to be leaning towards it.
He Jianhua, but in the end, he left room for Liang Jian.
Liang Jian guessed whether Zhu Jianhua had already approached Cai Gen. But Cai Gen didn't want to suppress Liang Jian's opinions in a strong manner, so he seemed to leave room for Liang Jian, but in fact he was waiting for Liang Jian to figure it out.
He meant that he finally made the decision he wanted Liang Jian to make.
Liang Jian believes that this guess is very likely.
After thinking wildly, he arrived at the appointed place. As soon as Liang Jian stopped the car, he received a call from Jiang Shihuan, saying that he had arrived. Liang Jian got out of the car and went to the box. Jiang Shihuan was sitting there, holding a tea cup in both hands, with a frown on his face.
Liang Jian had felt that something was wrong with Jiang Shihuan before. Seeing him like this, his heart sank. After sitting down, he immediately asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Jiang Shihuan didn't say anything, and reached out to pour a cup of tea for Liang Jian. After handing it to Liang Jian, he turned around and called the waiter who was guarding outside.
"Let's start serving the food." After Jiang Shihuan ordered the waiter, he was still silent. Liang Jian was a little anxious and asked again: "Brother Jiang, what's wrong with you? Did you quarrel with your sister-in-law?"
Jiang Shihuan shook his head, stared at the cup in his hand, sighed, and said, "Let's talk while eating later."
He had said so, and Liang Jian couldn't press any more. After a while, the dishes came. Jiang Shihuan waited for the dishes to be served, and then asked the waiter to bring a bottle of wine. After the wine was opened, Jiang Shihuan left the waiter.
, and then poured wine for Liang Jian himself. During this period, Liang Jian wanted to take over, but Jiang Shihuan refused to let him go. Seeing his serious expression, Liang Jian let him go.
After the wine was poured, Liang Jian was about to raise the glass, but Jiang Shihuan raised his head and became depressed first. Seeing him like this, Liang Jian frowned. Seeing him pouring the wine again, he reached out and held his hand down, saying in a deep voice
: "Brother Jiang, don't drink in a hurry. Please tell me first what's going on? Otherwise, I won't feel at ease!"
Jiang Shihuan pursed his lips and paused for a long time, then suddenly sighed: "Brother, I can't help you!"
"Where do you start talking about this!" Liang Jian asked with a frown.
Jiang Shihuan pushed Liang Jian's hand away, took the bottle and poured himself a glass, and then drank it in one gulp. After drinking, he wanted to pour the wine again. Liang Jian was so anxious that he stretched out his hand to grab the drink in front of him.
He brought a bottle of wine over, put it on his side, and then said to him: "Brother Jiang, tell me first what is going on!"
"Okay, I'll say it." Jiang Shihuan lowered his head, extremely heavy.
Liang Jian looked at him, his mood was particularly heavy.
The atmosphere in the room was so solemn that it seemed like it could drip out.
Jiang Shihuan finally said: "After you went to see Zhu Mingtang today, he came to me again." After saying this, and Jiang Shihuan's performance, Liang Jian already had a rough idea in his mind.
"He wanted me to speak for He Jianhua here and agree to let He Jianhua take over the position of deputy director of your general office." Jiang Shihuan said what Liang Jian was thinking. Jiang Shihuan did not stop and continued: "With our
Relationship, I shouldn't have come to you for this matter at all. I am not qualified as a big brother, so I am ashamed! Zhu Mingtang said that he is planning to retire early, and before retiring, he will recommend me to take over his position.
"At this point, he paused, and his head dropped so low that it was almost touching his chest. His guilt was like his cervical spine, which was almost bent at 180 degrees. It was so hard!
Liang Jian was shocked by what Jiang Shihuan said about Zhu Mingtang's conditions. Zhu Mingtang used such a big bait, which meant that He Jianhua was an important figure to Zhu Mingtang.
Liang Jian suddenly became curious about He Jianhua.
Jiang Shihuan was still feeling guilty, so Liang Jian quickly recovered his thoughts, took the bottle and poured Jiang Shihuan a glass of wine, and then smiled and said: "Brother Jiang, this is a good thing."
Jiang Shihuan looked up at him and was a little surprised to see him smiling. "He Jianhua is not a simple character. It may not be a good thing for him to be in your hands." He hesitated and said.
Liang Jian glanced at him, smiled and did not answer. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip himself, and then said slowly: "Actually, even if you don't come to me, I am still thinking about this. Just before leaving get off work, I talked about this matter with Secretary Cai, and he also wanted to ask He Jianhua to come to the general office. So, since Zhu Mingtang said so, then you can take this ride, and you don’t have to feel sorry for me. If this If something can benefit you, that is also a good thing. Besides, although He Jianhua may not be a simple person, I am the secretary-general, and he is only the deputy secretary-general. The purpose of the general office is to serve the municipal party committee As long as the secretary serves Secretary Cai well, everything else will not be a problem."
"I know you said this to comfort me." Jiang Shihuan said: "I also know that what I say now sounds a bit false. If I really don't want you to be embarrassed, I shouldn't mention it to you at all. But
I won't say it, but in my heart, I really..." Jiang Shihuan shook his head and sighed, with a troubled and uncomfortable expression. After a few seconds, he continued: "Just think that I am struggling to my death. I have been in the position of deputy minister for a long time.
For seven years, this stool has almost become moldy. Now that I have such an opportunity, if I don’t do anything, I won’t be able to overcome this obstacle in my heart! However, I told you this matter, so just take it as a
I just heard a joke and let it pass. After I put these words through, I gave up all the thoughts in my heart. In fact, I, a grassroots person from a rural area, can climb to this position. In the words of my hometown,
That is the blessing gained from eight lifetimes of cultivation. I should be content!"
Liang Jianneng understood the pain in Jiang Shihuan's heart. He was a grassroots cadre who married Yang Xiumei. From a teacher to the education bureau, and then to the organizational line, along the way, in addition to the support of his father-in-law behind him, he must also have the support of his father-in-law.
He worked hard to become stronger. If he were Liu Adou, no matter how powerful his father-in-law was, he would not be able to hold him up against the wall.
But after his father-in-law passed away, Jiang Shihuan found it difficult to make progress. He was not even fifty yet. At this age and in this position, he should have a bright future, but he was stuck in this position. In seven years
, passed by in a flash, and saw that he was about to turn fifty. The opportunity suddenly came, could Jiang Shihuan not be tempted?
