The matter of Liang Jian's re-taking charge of cadre work has finally been settled.
At the most critical moment, two crucial pieces of evidence fell from the sky, suddenly shutting up the mouths of those who had made deliberate efforts. This battle was won so beautifully, and the victory was achieved in a dangerous situation, which is indeed worthy of celebration.
The first person to tell Liang Jian the good news was not Zhu Yongliang but Zhu Mao, the Propaganda Director of the Standing Committee of the District Committee. Of course, Zhu Yongliang may have hoped that Liang Jian would never know the news.
After receiving the news, Liang Jian happily said that he would treat Zhu Mao and Wen Zhaosheng to dinner, and told Zhu Mao that a friend from the Provincial Party Committee Research Office also came to Jingzhou in the evening.
Although Zhu Mao usually looks steady and serious, he is not a dull person. He can endure loneliness, but he also likes to be lively. He likes to make friends of all kinds, not only for the fun, but also because of the saying "having more friends makes life easier."
". In official circles, you can never have too many friends, but you can never have too many enemies. Zhu Mao knows this well.
Chinese people pay attention to the word "ceremony" when making friends. This ceremony is not only reflected in some virtual gifts when meeting, but also needs some real and concrete things to express it. The focus is on gifts and banquets. When giving gifts, gifts are not important.
The true meaning is to give money to others. Giving money is the easiest, but giving money is risky and not easy to be accepted. Maybe no one does not love money, but few officials will blatantly accept money. Give something that is related to the person involved.
Small gifts related to interests and hobbies are light gifts, but they are more thoughtful. The person receiving the gift will not have the pressure to accept the gift, and will leave a deep impression on the gift giver. As for the banquet, it is a more intimate way.
. People who often eat and drink together are the so-called circle. As the saying goes: good things don’t go to outsiders. People in the same circle will naturally want to get the benefits of those in the circle first.
However, these gifts, to be honest, require costs. Fortunately, high-level leaders generally do not need to pay for these things out of their own pockets (of course, that was before the eight regulations).
Zhu Mao was not the first person in the officialdom who liked to make friends, nor was he the last. He was very happy to go to Liang Jian's banquet. One reason was that Liang Jian's affairs were finally done, and Hu Xiaoying must be happy. Hu Xiaoying was happy, and it was good for him personally
There must be benefits. After all, it was obvious that he was shouldering the burden for Hu Xiaoying in the Standing Committee. Another reason is that someone from the province comes and can eat and make a new friend. Why not! Of course he will do the same.
Wen Zhaosheng was called, but it was Wen Zhaosheng’s wife’s birthday and she couldn’t go out to the banquet. There is a saying that before going outside, you must first make peace with yourself. Zhu Mao thought that it was excusable that Wen Zhaosheng’s wife didn’t go out to the banquet on her birthday. Sacrifice this day, you can
In exchange for a year of freedom and freedom, why not do it. He advised Wen Zhaosheng: Secretary Wen, you must make that person in your family happy. Only when that person in your family is happy, can we be happy when we drink and eat together in the future.
Wen Zhaosheng smiled and said: I will definitely fulfill the orders of the ministers.
Leading cadres who have reached the deputy director level or above like to put on a serious look in front of others. This is just a need to establish prestige and is a must. Perhaps because of this, they prefer to make harmless jokes in private.
This can also be regarded as a kind of stress relief.
After the meeting, Liang Jian quickly received a text message from Hu Xiaoying. There were only a few numbers in the text message: The matter has been accomplished, and we need to work harder in the next step. Benevolence alone is not enough, we need wisdom and benevolence.
Liang Jian looked at these twenty-one characters and was stunned for a long time. He carefully discerned the flavor of Hu Xiaoying's twenty-one characters, especially the following sentence, "Benevolence alone is not enough, wisdom and benevolence are needed." In fact, both
It includes Hu Xiaoying's recognition of his "benevolence", which means that he has a good heart and a kind person; at the same time, he also criticizes him for not being defensive, not smart enough, and not tactful enough, so he put forward the concept of "wisdom benevolence".
"Hope.
In the officialdom, simply being kind-hearted is not enough. If someone easily stumbles, a well-intentioned person can get bruised and swollen. Take Liang Jian’s experience as an example. At that time, it was precisely because he was too kind to the people in the cadre department,
Jiang Yan, Che Xiaoxia and others did not take precautions, which resulted in the passive situation. Without Hu Xiaoying's support and protection all the way, he would have been left to cool off alone in a corner, with little water.
.
Therefore, "wisdom of benevolence" is not only a sharp criticism of Liang Jian, but also targeted expectations and requirements for him! Liang Jian replied to the text message: Thank you Secretary Hu for your guidance, I will keep it in mind.
Since the elevator incident, Hu Xiaoying has been paying close attention to Liang Jian's developments and has repeatedly supported and promoted him in his career. However, Liang Jian is also sensitively aware that although Hu Xiaoying cares about him, she seems to deliberately avoid interacting with him.
Face-to-face contact was mostly in the form of phone calls and text messages. Perhaps this was how she told him that their relationship could only be maintained within the scope of what the system allowed and accepted. After all, she was
District Party Committee Secretary, having too close interactions with any male may create a reputation for others to take advantage of.
Liang Jian understood Hu Xiaoying's way of handling things very well. He felt that his relationship with Hu Xiaoying was like a ship, slowly sailing into a more harmonious and intimate channel. For Liang Jian, this was very useful.
It was already evening when Feng Feng called. On the phone, Feng Feng's voice was a little hot and fiery: "Damn, this traffic jam really broke people's hearts!" Liang Jian said with a smile: "The traffic jam ahead
If there is a traffic jam later, there will be no traffic jam later. If there is a traffic jam today, there will be no traffic jam tomorrow. Brother Feng, I estimate that all the traffic this year will be blocked by you today!" Feng Feng said: "I hope Brother Liang's good wishes come true.
!I just don’t like traffic jams in my life.” Liang Jian said: “Traffic jams don’t bother me. Where is Brother Feng? I’ll pick you up!”
Feng Feng said: "There is no need to pick me up. I still know a little bit about Jingzhou City. If you get off the expressway and ask around, you can probably find the hotel." Liang Jian said: "Okay, I'll order food first and wait.
When you arrive, you can serve wine and food directly. Let’s have a few drinks today.”
Such a gathering would be too crowded if there were too many people, and there would be no atmosphere if there were too few people. The dinner arranged by Liang Jian was neither too many nor too few, only seven people.
Since Wen Zhaosheng is not coming, the biggest leader is Zhu Mao, the Propaganda Minister of the Standing Committee of the District Committee. There is also Zhu Huayu, who asked to bring Xuejiao with him. Liang Jian thought to himself: Lao Zhu and Xuejiao are really having a lively relationship these days.
Ah, now that Lao Zhu has opened his mouth, he can't help but be as beautiful as a man. Lao Zhu took it a step further and asked: Do you want Xuejiao to call Xiaoyu? Liang Jian thought to himself: If I say no at this time, Xiaoyu will definitely do something to him in the future.
Thoughts. Forget it, one more person is not much anyway. It is not tiring to work with men and women, not to mention drinking and eating! There are girls, and the atmosphere is lively. Simply find Zhu Mao a drinking companion. Then he said to Zhu Huaiyu:
"Let me contact my cousin. Just ask the three sisters to come together!"
Feng Feng finally found the hotel by accident.
Liang Jian stood at the door of the hotel, facing Feng Feng, and he was really excited. Without Feng Feng's help this time, he might not have been able to do it. However, Liang Jian didn't say much, and just patted Feng Feng hard.
shoulder and led him into the private room.
When Zhu Mao saw Feng Feng come in, he stood up from his seat and asked Feng Feng to take the chief seat. Feng Feng said: "How dare you do this? The ministers should sit down." Zhu Mao refused to say anything and said: "No matter what.
From any point of view, this position belongs to us, Director Feng. In terms of positions, although we are both at the deputy director level, Director Feng is a provincial cadre, which is very different; in addition, today is Liang
Jian's treat, if it weren't for the instructions provided by Director Feng, Liang Jian's matter might not be possible, and then we probably wouldn't be able to eat today's dinner. From this point of view, we are actually on the side of Director Feng. Furthermore,
Director Feng is a guest from afar. Therefore, Director Feng must take this seat, everyone agrees, right?"
Everyone here said "yes".
Since Feng Feng stopped being the secretary of the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, he has never received such courtesy. It can be said that he is flattered. His affection for Liang Jian has deepened. Despite everyone's persuasion, he still reluctantly stayed in the chair.
He sat down on his seat.
After the main seat was decided, the others sat down one after another.
Zhu Mao sat on the left side of Feng Feng, and Xiaoyu was arranged to sit on the right side of Feng Feng. On the left side of Zhu Mao sat Cai Fenfen and Liang Jian, and on the right side of Xiaoyu sat Zhu Huaiyu and Xuejiao. In this way, men and women alternated.
As for sitting, everyone would get drunk even if they were not drunk, and the atmosphere was quite good. Only Xiaoyu was a little unhappy. She had originally planned to sit next to Liang Jianjian, but unexpectedly she was placed next to Feng Feng, and she couldn't say anything.
, only looking at Liang Jian from time to time, Liang Jian didn't see it, but just smiled politely. This smile was both a response and a distance. I have to admit that Xiaoyu is young, beautiful, and very attractive.
However, Liang Jian knew very well that Xiao Yumei was beautiful, but he could not find the so-called "love" in her.
Of course, in the officialdom, the interactions between men and women are sometimes not for "love". Sometimes, it may simply be to satisfy physiological needs, or an exchange of naked interests, or it may even be an inexplicable chance encounter. It's just that
None of this is possible between Liang Jian and Xiaoyu. The reason is that Xiaoyu is from Shen Hongzhi Winery. Liang Jian always maintains an attitude of keeping as far away as possible from businessmen like Shen Hongzhi. Of course, this also includes him.
Marketing staff. Even for his cousin Cai Fenfen, he is very wary. The reason why Xiaoyu and the three beauties from the winery appeared at today's wine party is entirely because Zhu Huaiyu insisted on bringing Xuejiao.
When Xiaoyu saw that Liang Jian was lukewarm towards him, he felt very uncomfortable and lost interest in drinking.
However, Feng Feng, who was sitting at the main seat, had a very good impression of Xiaoyu. Feng Feng took the initiative to toast Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu looked at Liang Jian with his eyes. Liang Jian couldn't say anything. After all, he didn't want anyone to stay.
He and Xiaoyu had an unusual relationship, and he didn't want people to have the illusion that Xiaoyu listened to his words. After thinking about it, Liang Jian ignored them and just picked up the wine glass to toast Zhumao.
Xiaoyu drank the wine reluctantly. Although Feng Feng was nearly forty years old, he was a single old man! This was related to his previous ideas. Feng Feng believed that in this life, the phrase "getting married and establishing a career" should be
On the other hand, it becomes "establish a career and start a family". If there is no "career", what is a family? Even if there is a family, it is a very difficult home. He does not want his wife and children to worry about daily necessities of food, rice, oil and salt. Therefore, when he is in charge of the province
During the time when he was the Secretary to the Secretary of the Organization Department of the Communist Party of China, he was only focused on his work. He declined all the blind date arrangements. He really couldn't save his face, so he just went through the motions. Unexpectedly, he actually agreed to that sentence.
, "Unforeseen circumstances", something happened to the organization director, and his future suddenly became gloomy. At this point, he suddenly discovered that not only his "family" had failed, but his "career" had also become a wasteland, and he couldn't help but sigh that he had wasted his great youth.
People are particularly vulnerable when they are disappointed. After suddenly falling from being a popular figure in front of the Minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, he also thought about many things and had different ideas about women. He is no longer young and can
There is really not much left in his wasted youth. Today, when he met Xiaoyu by chance, his heart seemed to be pinched by a small hand. He was so caring, so nervous, and so reluctant to let go. He asked himself
Is this love at first sight?
When it comes to love and women, Feng Feng really feels like a layman. In all, in half his life, he has never seriously pursued a girl.
Feng Feng almost focused all his attention on Xiaoyu's delicate face. He seized the opportunity to toast and kept talking to Xiaoyu, trying to make Xiaoyu happy and pay more attention to his existence. However, soon,
He noticed something strange about Xiaoyu. She seemed to be absent-minded, always glancing at Liang Jian with her smoky eyes, intentionally or unintentionally. Could it be that Xiaoyu was Liang Jian's woman? If that was the case, a gentleman would not take away someone's attention.
Love. But when I think about it, infinite regret surges up in my heart.
At this time, Zhu Mao stood up and toasted to Feng Feng. He said that it was a great honor to meet Director Feng... Although Feng Feng felt that he could not win someone's love, his thoughts were still involuntarily focused on Xiaoyu. Even Zhu Mao couldn't help but focus on Xiaoyu.
Mao didn't hear anything he said clearly. His eyes were focused on Xiaoyu's beautiful body. He saw her holding a wine glass and walking around the dining table to toast Liang Jian.
Liang Jian saw Xiaoyu coming to toast, so he had to stand up and greet him with a smile. Xiaoyu said: "Minister Liang, I respect you." Liang Jian said: "Thank you, Xiaoyu." Xiaoyu focused his eyes
He looked at Liang Jian, his affection flowing like spring light, which could not be blocked. Liang Jian avoided his eyes, raised his neck and drank the wine.
Xiaoyu said in a low voice: "That day at KTV, why did you leave without saying goodbye, making me wait for a long time!" Liang Jian remembered what happened that day, and later he went to the "Jianshi" cafe to find Ruan Jue. Xiaoyu didn't need to know about this.
Liang Jian then said: "I was really high that day, so I left because I didn't want to make a fool of myself." Liang Jian specifically added, "When I think about it later, I don't even remember what I did that day!"
Xiaoyu asked: "Don't remember anything?" Liang Jian said: "No." Xiaoyu asked: "You don't remember anything in the taxi or the KTV?" Of course Liang Jian remembered, Xiaoyu in the taxi
Yu held his hand, and he hugged Xiaoyu's waist in the KTV box, but he had to say "I don't remember." He had made up his mind that the relationship with Xiaoyu was over, and he would not dig deeper.
explore.
Xiaoyu's face clearly showed disappointment. He glanced at Liang Jian and said, "Then I don't remember anything." Although his voice was soft, Liang Jian could hear her unhappiness. But since he had made up his mind,
If you don't want to provoke her, then her happiness or unhappiness has nothing to do with you. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome. After Xiaoyu returned to his seat, he only felt uninterested, because Cai Fenfen and the leaders did not leave, and she also
Sorry to leave.
Feng Feng also stood up and walked towards Liang Jian. Liang Jian also stood up immediately. Feng Feng put a hand on Liang Jian's shoulder and said, "Let's go outside and smoke a cigarette."
Liang Jian took a cigarette from the table and followed Feng Feng outside. Feng Feng said that the air inside was stuffy, so we went outside to smoke one. But Liang Jian knew that Feng Feng probably had something to say to him, so he followed him outside.
Walk.
There is a road right outside the hotel. Between the road and the sidewalk, there is a row of iron railings. Liang Jian and Feng Feng leaned on the iron railings and lit cigarettes.
Liang Jian first said: "Brother Feng, thank you so much this time!" Feng Feng said: "Brothers, what are you talking about? If you hadn't provided the materials, I wouldn't have been able to write this article, and I wouldn't have had the chance to let the province know
I entrusted Secretary Ma to give comments on the article. At least now Secretary Ma also knows that I, Feng Feng, know that I can think and write articles. So, speaking of which, I still need to thank you!" Liang Jian said
"Since I'm here in Jingzhou this time, let's stay a few more days and have fun in Jingzhou." Feng Feng said, "Today I'm mainly here to celebrate with you, my brother. Tomorrow is the weekend, so you can also have some fun."
, and then I will go back, after all, I still have to go to work." Liang Jian said: "Then, have fun on the weekend, and I will accompany you."
Feng Feng sighed and said: "We are destined to be strangers. We have become sworn friends so quickly. I am very lucky to have a friend like you. Sometimes I even feel that Jingzhou seems to be inferior to Ningzhou."
It feels more like home!" Liang Jian said: "Brother Feng, I'm very happy that you can say that!"
The two held hands together.
A person walked out of the hotel, it was Zhu Huaiyu, the mayor of Xi Town. Zhu Huaiyu stood at the door and shouted, "Why did you two slip away? Come back quickly, the beauties are waiting for you!" Liang Jian listened to Zhu Huaiyu.
It feels very inappropriate to shout like this in public. After drinking, Zhu Huaiyu doesn't pay much attention to his image. Of course, from this, we can also see that Zhu Huaiyu is a person of temperament and does not stick to trivial matters!
Liang Jian said: "Then let's go in!"
Feng Feng didn't move, so Liang Jian cast his gaze on Feng Feng's face. Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, he asked: "Brother Feng, do you have anything else to say? To brothers, just say it if you have something to say.
Don’t take it to heart! I will definitely do whatever I can do.”
Feng Feng shook his head and said, "Nothing needs to be done." After a long pause, he said again, "I want to ask my brother a question."
Liang Jian said: "Brother Feng, just say it." Feng Feng glanced at Liang Jian and said: "Is Xiaoyu your girlfriend?"
Liang Jian then realized that Feng Feng came outside with him to smoke, and it turned out that he was asking about Xiaoyu. Liang Jian smiled and said: "Of course not. Xiaoyu and I have only had dinner twice. She belongs to my cousin Cai Fenfen."
Colleague, so I invited her to come to dinner this time!" Feng Feng said: "That's it. But I think the way she looks at you is a little different."
Liang Jian knew that Xiaoyu had a good impression of him. Even in front of a table full of people, she still looked at Liang Jian with affection. But Liang Jian knew that although she had a good impression of him, it was just a good impression.
I had made it very clear just now that I had no other intentions for her. I believe Xiaoyu also understood that there would be no further entanglement.
Liang Jian said: "Perhaps her position is facing me, so her gaze is more direct!"
Feng Feng didn't know much about women. After hearing what Liang Jian said, he believed it. He patted Liang Jian on the shoulder and said, "I'm finally relieved now!" Liang Jian said, "Why don't you worry?" Feng Feng said, "I
Don't worry she is not your woman, so I still have a chance!" Liang Jian stared at Feng Feng and said with a smile: "Brother Feng is interested in her?" Feng Feng said: "Although this is the first time we meet today, I think she is pretty good.
"
Liang Jian said: "I support you and wish you immediate success!" Liang Jian originally felt a little unbearable because of his merciless rejection of her, but now that he saw that Feng Feng had feelings for Xiaoyu, he felt relieved. He thought
, Xiaoyu is actually a good girl, so it’s a good thing that someone will chase her.
Feng Feng still asked uneasily: "She is really not your woman, nor is she your girlfriend! Don't say that I am trying to steal love from you in the future!" Liang Jian said: "Don't worry, if she really is
I will not give up my people so easily, and you also know how I am, if it is someone I love, I will never give up casually!" Feng Feng said: "That's good, I'm going to take action!"
That night, Liang Jian arranged an event and everyone went to KTV to sing. Four men and three women. Knowing that Feng Feng was interested in Xiaoyu, Liang Jian deliberately sat far away from Xiaoyu, and Feng Feng leaned next to Xiaoyu.
Keep toasting and trying to please. Xiaoyu was a little uncomfortable at first, but then she thought that since Liang Jian was not interested in him, if she persisted, it would seem that she didn't understand the rules. After thinking about it, she felt relieved and let go.
Chatted and sang with Feng Feng.
Except for Liang Jian, everyone in the box was like a pair of mandarin ducks. Zhu Huaiyu was worried that Liang Jian was alone and felt uncomfortable, so he walked up to Liang Jianyan and said, "If you don't attack, Xiaoyu will be snatched away by others."
Liang Jian smiled at Zhu Huaiyu and said, "You don't know me yet. If Xiaoyu is really my type, how could I let him go to others?" Zhu Huaiyu stared at Liang Jian for a while, believing that what he said was wrong.
Xu, then said: "So you didn't call Xiaoyu. That's a pity. Xiaoyu has a deep affection for you. Xiaoyu can say all the good things about you in front of Xuejiao and the others! This Xiaonizi really likes you.
Yes!" Liang Jian said: "I just made it clear to Xiaoyu tactfully, she shouldn't think too much." Zhu Huaiyu looked at Xiaoyu and Feng Feng, nodded slightly and said, "Since it's not interesting, just go earlier.
It's okay to explain it clearly. Fortunately, you just rejected her, and Xiaoyu immediately welcomed a new suitor, so you should feel better." Liang Jian said: "So, I really have to thank Feng Feng!"
Liang Jian said: "You are all in pairs, I can't stay any longer. I have to find someone. I will pay the bill later and then leave first. Please help me accompany the guests."
Zhu Huaiyu said: "What are you talking about? With me as the mayor here, you still have to pay the bill. Do you still think of me as the mayor?" Liang Jian said politely: "That's not possible. You are here today.
You are celebrating me, how can I ask you to pay the bill?" Zhu Huaiyu said: "Okay, I won't pay the bill. Xizhen asked the district and provincial leaders to pay the bill, right?" Seeing that he insisted on paying the bill, Liang Jian also
Just stop insisting.
He asked for leave from Propaganda Minister Zhu Mao and Feng Feng, saying that he had drunk too much and wanted to go back first. Both of them were accompanied by women, and seeing that he was probably going to find a woman, they let him go. Liang Jian said to Feng Feng
: "I'll come find you tomorrow morning and take you around Jingzhou city to see the scenery and eat Jingzhou's local specialties." Feng Feng said, "Okay."
At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, when Liang Jian set off from home, he called Feng Feng in advance. Feng Feng answered the phone and said, "Sorry, brother, I have returned to Ningzhou!" Liang Jian was surprised: "You
Why did you go back so early in the morning? Did something happen?" Feng Feng said: "We won't talk now, we are going to talk soon, and I will call you after we finish talking!" Liang Jian thought, he really had something, so he said:
"Okay, you must remember to call me." Feng Feng said, "Definitely" and hung up the phone.
When Feng Feng's call came, Liang Jian was sitting in the district government canteen eating. When he saw that it was Feng Feng, Liang Jian put down the half-eaten noodles and ran to the lawn outside the canteen.
Liang Jian said: "Brother Feng, are you okay?" Feng Feng said: "There is something, of course there is something." Hearing what Feng Feng said, Liang Jian was a little worried, but he could hear Feng Feng's voice being cheerful. Liang Jian thought
It shouldn't be a bad thing, so I asked: "What is it?"
Feng Feng paused for a while before uttering two words: "Good thing."
Then, Feng Feng told Liang Jian everything that happened between eleven o'clock last night and twelve hours this morning.
It turned out that at around 11 o'clock last night, Feng Feng had just returned to the room booked by Liang Jian after singing a song. When he was about to take a bath and go to bed, he received a call from the deputy secretary-general of the Provincial Party Committee General Office. The secretary-general asked Feng
Feng went to the office of Deputy Secretary Ma Chaoqun of the Provincial Party Committee early the next morning and said that Secretary Ma wanted to see him for something. Feng Feng was flattered, but he did not dare to ask the deputy secretary-general directly what the matter was. Although Feng Feng and the deputy secretary-general had regular contact,
But he is not particularly familiar with it, not to mention that the deputy secretary-general is the leader after all. Moreover, Feng Feng knows that sometimes, when the leader wants to meet a person, he may not necessarily tell the person notified why he wants to meet that person. First, the leader is very busy.
, Secondly, the leader does not need to explain his intentions to his subordinates. But the people who can stand next to the leader have a delicate heart, and they cannot say that they can guess the leader's intentions 100% of the time.
Can guess.
After hanging up the phone, Feng Feng was so excited that he couldn't sleep. Deputy Secretary Ma Chaoqun actually wanted to see him. What could happen? If it wasn't something special, Secretary Ma would not meet him in person. As deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, his
Every day should be fully scheduled. I have to see him early in the morning. There must be something important. Maybe he will get out of the rainy season in his life? In this way, he thought about all the things that might happen and lay down.
He tossed and turned happily in bed, half asleep. In order not to waste time, he set off at around four in the morning. The journey was smooth and it was only 5:30 in the morning when he returned to Ningzhou. At 8:30 in the morning, he came on time.
Arriving at the office of Deputy Secretary Ma Chaoqun, Ma Chaoqun praised him a few words for the article "Creating a Team of Cadres with Complementary Levels and Effortless Promising Cadres - Taking the Construction of a Cadre Team in Changhu District as an Example" and then asked him: "I want you to come to the general office.
