Vice Mayor Liu Xinlin suddenly received news that Secretary Chen had arranged for him to accompany him on the inspection.
He was taken aback, and after a lot of fussing, he felt uneasy.
As a deputy mayor who has not joined the Standing Committee, it is difficult for Liu Xinlin to participate in the core decision-making of the city. There are nine deputy mayors in Jingjiang. Except for the executive deputy mayor Liu Decai, the only ones who can often see the secretaries are in charge of urban construction and urban planning.
Yang Jie is the deputy mayor.
The remaining deputy mayors may not see the secretary throughout the year.
This is basically the case for Liu Xinlin. Since Chen Jing took office in Jingjiang, except for shaking hands with Chen Jing when welcoming Chen Jing and listening to Chen Jing's speech at the cadre meeting, he has never even talked to Chen Jing alone.
One sentence.
Liu Xinlin was resentful about this situation.
As a cadre decentralized from the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, Liu Xinlin came to Jingjiang full of fighting spirit and prepared to do something big.
But when he got there, he discovered that the ideal was beautiful, but the reality was very basic.
Although Xu Bing asked him to be in charge of industrial enterprises, he could not manage the industrial enterprises in Jingjiang. When the enterprises encountered problems, he could not solve them even if they approached him.
If the company makes a mistake, he will not be able to make decisions, sanction or punish him.
In Jingjiang's industrial enterprises, when it comes to serious problems, people go directly to the secretary or mayor. His role is at most a mouthpiece. They serve him very diligently, just like a Bodhisattva. It's best not to point fingers when working.
Because that didn't work, Liu Xinlin worked in Jingjiang for two years.
After two years of doing nothing, any achievements he made were all attributed to the leader. If something went wrong, he would always be criticized.
Because he was angry, yesterday he suddenly received a notice from the Municipal Party Committee, saying that he wanted to provide opinions to the secretary. The notice required that the opinions should be mainly criticism.
When he received the notice, he was so panicked that he couldn't let it go even when he went back for dinner that night.
As soon as he got home, the yellow-faced woman at home talked to him about work again. His wife worked in a company and usually had good relationships outside.
She often helps Liu Xinlin with his attention at work.
When I got home yesterday, my wife mentioned that she would prepare gifts and asked Liu Xinlin to clear Secretary Chen’s path no matter what. She also said that Lao Yang from Hengshui City, who was also decentralized by the National Development and Reform Commission, had a good relationship with the secretary, so he went to the secretary’s house.
Thanks to his hard work, he will be promoted to the Standing Committee immediately.
Liu Xinlin frowned and said that was useless. Secretary Chen was not as good as the leaders in Hengshui. Secretary Chen did not lack that thing.
His stubbornness made my wife angry.
To say that he is a lump in the elm does not look at what era we are in now. He has worked in Jingjiang for several years and has not learned his lesson. In this day and age, it is not about who is more capable in doing a job.
Where are the people with strong social abilities nowadays? Which of the Jingjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government axes who have some background in the above are not?
With Liu Xinlin's current attitude, if you work for another three to five years and still stand still, why are you so arrogant to your boss? If you get angry with your boss, your boss will treat you coldly, and your boss will not say anything bad about you, just leave you alone, and you will suffer.
No.
In this case, you cannot report the problem beyond the next level.
Because the leaders at the top are not vegetarians. If you go beyond the level to report problems to the leader, people will think, what is going on with you, a comrade? Your immediate boss will never speak ill of you, but you, as a subordinate, come to expose the leader.
Short, is there something wrong with your character?
These days, once your character is deemed to be questionable within the system, which leader would dare to employ you?
Liu Xinlin naturally understands these words. The yellow-faced woman at home nags them every day, which makes her ears feel numb.
Besides, he was in a bad mood yesterday, and when his wife got angry, his anger also increased.
He didn't even eat dinner, so he locked himself in the study.
He suddenly thought, doesn't Chen Jing want someone to give advice? Why can he only pretend to be a grandson? He has been in Jingjiang for several years with great ambitions, and he hasn't pretended to be a grandson enough?
Besides, he is a provincial cadre and has made no mistakes. Even if Chen Jing hates him to the core, he still dares to remove himself from his post. At the worst, he will just put on some small shoes for himself.
Now that he is wearing small shoes, what should he be afraid of?
So as soon as he was done, he wrote an opinion material.
During this period, he made full use of his expertise and vented all the grievances he had in charge of industrial enterprises in the past few years.
He criticized Chen Jing for not acting decisively and for being slow. As for Chen Jing's lack of communication with his comrades, he was not groundless.
Chen Jingdu has been in Jingjiang for several months, but Liu Xinlin has never had contact with him or said a word to him. Isn't this a lack of communication?
When Liu Xinlin lost his temper, he would write without scruples. After writing a piece of material, he immediately asked his secretary to take it to the municipal committee, and then he fell asleep with his head covered.
When he woke up the next day and calmed down, especially when he saw someone looking nervous at work, he regretted it a little.
He was very frightened in the office and always suspicious. But at this time, he received a notice to accompany Secretary Chen on an inspection. How could he not panic?
He asked the driver to drive to the municipal committee.
When he got off the car, he saw Chen Jing criticizing people, saying that there were too many people there. He looked at the reconstruction work of Quansheng Factory. Why did he want to make it look like the emperor was on a patrol?
Chen Jing criticized him harshly, and more than a dozen people left in despair.
Liu Xinlin felt guilty and stepped forward. Unexpectedly, Chen Jing stretched out his hand from afar and said: "Is it Mayor Liu? The National Development and Reform Commission has talents. I know your situation. Let's go in the same car. I will follow you on the way.
You talk about state-owned enterprises."
In this way, Liu Xinlin and Chen Jing took the same car all the way to Quansheng Factory.
On the way, Chen Jing patiently asked Liu Xinlin about the situation of Jingjiang state-owned enterprises, and exchanged opinions with Liu Xinlin on the future of state-owned enterprises.
Liu Xinlin has been in politics for so many years and has seen many big scenes, but he was really nervous today.
Especially sitting next to Chen Jing, the kinder and more relaxed Chen Jing was, the more nervous he became and felt a lot of pressure in his heart.
In the end, he couldn't bear the pressure anymore and said: "Secretary, yesterday's opinion letter, my attitude was too extreme! You..."
Chen Jing frowned and said, "What's wrong? Do you think I'm retaliating? If you dare to raise your opinion, it shows that you have a unique view on the reform of our state-owned enterprises. This is exactly what we need now."
Chen Jing paused and said: "What kind of cadres does Jingjiang lack now? What I think is lacking are cadres who dare to tell the truth and do practical things. Lao Liu, let me make it clear to you today. If I let go of the work of state-owned enterprises,
Come on, are you confident that you can do this job well?"
Liu Xinlin was startled and his heart was beating fast. After a while, he said:
"Secretary, I see it this way. Now our enterprises are divided into two categories. One is like an internal combustion engine factory. I understand this enterprise and it has core technology. Our internal combustion engines are now leading the country. Last year we went to Europe and the United States.
We have participated in all exhibitions and won the silver medal at the Frankfurt Machinery Show.
The problem now is that our price will not go down, so there are no orders.
I think there are two reasons for the price problem. One is that our processing technology is not modernized enough, and we have not done a detailed job in the research of some materials. The most important reason is that we do not have large-scale production. These difficulties can be overcome, so
I think the internal combustion engine plant has a bright future and we can increase investment.
The other type is our shipyard. This plant does not have many core technologies and is completely backward in all aspects of technology. For such plants, we must find ways to carry out joint-stock reform, introduce private capital, and change business ideas. We should not suffer the loss of state assets due to the restructuring of state-owned enterprises.
Just worry about gains and losses, and throw away the baggage that should be thrown away..."
Chen Jing listened quietly to Liu Xinlin's conversation and remained silent.
After Liu Xinlin finished his speech, Chen Jing still did not express his position, and he began to feel anxious again.
When he was at the National Development and Reform Commission, the old leader warned him and pointed out that his problem was that he was tough but easy to break, and he was too sharp.
Liu Xinlin has encountered obstacles everywhere in Jingjiang in the past few years, and he has also suffered such losses. In internal meetings of the municipal government, Liu Xinlin often comes up with new theories and new methods. Sometimes it makes Mayor Xu and Mayor Liu embarrassed.
Making random ideas without understanding the leader's intentions clearly means that the leader's intentions will be disrupted in many cases.
How can a leader like a subordinate who obstructs the implementation of the leader's intentions?
Liu Xinlin still remembers the time when an old leader of the National Development and Reform Commission came for an inspection, and Mayor Liu accompanied the leader with him.
The old leader asked Mayor Liu about Liu Xinlin.
Mayor Liu responded without hesitation at the time: "Comrade Xinlin has a high degree of education and is very capable, especially when it comes to new concepts and ideas. In time, he will have many opportunities to show off his talents in Jingjiang."
Liu Xinlin was very happy when he heard this.
But later, when I met with the old leader alone, the old leader criticized him harshly and asked him if he was talking too freely and making a big show of himself.
Liu Xinlin was shocked and stunned at the time. Later, he understood the meaning of Liu Decai's words after tasting it carefully.
What Liu Decai said obviously means that Liu Xinlin's new ideas and concepts cannot adapt to the current situation in Jingjiang. Jingjiang does not need these new things now, but will need them in the future.
Therefore, the opportunity for Liu Xinlin to show off his talents is not now, but in the future. Didn't he use a key word in it? "Fake it in time".
What does it mean to say that time is enough? It just can’t be done now, we need time!
Just when Liu Xinlin was thinking wildly, Quansheng Factory arrived.
There was a big pomp outside. There were five or six colorful flags and slogans and banners on both sides of the road. They all said "Welcome the secretary to inspect the work" and "Welcome the leaders of the municipal party committee to come and inspect" and so on.
The leaders of Quansheng Factory, including section chiefs and above, all dressed in straight suits, lined up to welcome Chen Jing and his entourage.
Liu Xinlin opened the car door and was about to get out when he heard Chen Jing snort: "It seems that Xinlin, you are right, my movements were slow. If the culture of our state-owned enterprises is not improved, we will still have to live a miserable life."
Son, the common people still have to live a miserable life!"
Liu Xinlin paused and refused to open the door.
When he came to his senses, he found that Chen Jing had already gotten off the car. He was shocked. He quickly got out of the car and closed the door, following behind Chen Jing. His heartbeat was getting faster and faster. (To be continued.)
