News in this era cannot always be kept secret. Soon, news spread in Xishan Province that Yi Xianglin was leaving. Yuan Zili knew that the rumors this time were true. After such a long time, Yuan Zili has been thinking
Regarding this matter, I don’t know when Yi Xianglin will leave Xishan Province, and I don’t know who the governor will be. Yuan Zili has visited Yi Xianglin’s home many times. Recently, Yuan Zili will go to Yi Xianglin’s house whenever he has time.
At home, chatting with the elderly.
Yuan Zili, who was at work, received a call from Yi Xianglin himself, asking him to come home. This was a rare situation. Generally speaking, it was Yi Xianglin's secretary who called, and both of them called.
They are provincial leaders, and Yi Xianglin is the main leader of the provincial government. The level of mutual contact is also much higher.
"Zi Li, I often come to my house during this period. You may have known that I was leaving Xishan Province."
"Yes, before Uncle Qin passed away, he told me that you were leaving Xishan Province."
"Well, this is normal. I am getting old. According to my age, I should retire. In fact, when Lao Kuang left, I knew the result. It was just delayed for some time. I should have retired at the beginning.
I left Xishan Province first, and some changes may have occurred later."
"Uncle Yi, it's a good thing for you to be transferred to Beijing. The conditions in Beijing are much better than those in Xilin City."
"Yes, that's what I think too. Beijing is the capital, the capital of excellence. There are no conditions. But I still can't bear to leave Xishan. I've worked here all my life and it's hard to leave when I get old."
When Yi Xianglin said such words, Yuan Zili didn't know how to comfort him.
"Self-reliance, Lao Qin's departure is a big loss. At the beginning, according to my age and qualifications, it was difficult for me to serve as the governor. I relied on Lao Qin's help and my own efforts to serve as the governor for these years.
There are some things that I haven't said yet, and you must know that. Lao Qin has made great efforts in your affairs. I have confirmed that you are a reserve cadre, and I have done some work. Lao Kuang also has a very good impression of you.
It was a matter of course. Before it was reported to the central government, I told Lao Qin the news. I didn’t have much confidence at that time. It was estimated that you would be promoted in three years at the earliest, but I didn’t expect that you would be promoted in a few months.
, you were promoted. In less than a year, it was considered a miracle in the officialdom. Now, you are just 40 years old. You have a lot of room for development in the future. Age has a great advantage. Between me and Lao Qin
There is a connection between hearts and minds. Lao Qin understands many things in the officialdom. Although he has never been an official in his life, his understanding is deeper than that of many people. It is not simple. Such cognitive abilities are not achieved by many people in the officialdom today.
Now that Lao Qin is gone, the Qin Group will inevitably encounter some difficulties. When necessary, you should help more. I can no longer help the Qin Group. When people leave, they will not be in their positions and will not seek their own policies. After arriving in Beijing
, I really rested.”
"Uncle Yi, I will visit you often when I go to Beijing in the future."
"Self-reliance. Next, everything will depend on you. Your opportunities are good. You have always received a lot of help. When you first started working, Zhao Tianran took a fancy to you and let you start smoothly. Later, Li Bing saw
Your ability has helped you take a crucial step, and there are many others. I won’t list them all. Don’t forget these benefactors. A drop of kindness is repaid by a spring. Although Xiaodie and Lao Qin are gone,
But you should never forget them. Without their help, you would not have achieved what you have today. As I get older, I often think of the past and look back on my work experience with a lot of emotion."
"Uncle Yi, I will never forget all my benefactors, and I will keep your teachings in mind."
"Zi Li, I have always been very optimistic about you. Over the years, I have talked about it a lot. Official life is diverse and there is no unified truth. Many times, you need to grasp it yourself. Therefore, when I talk to you, it is through
If you have to think carefully, when you reach a certain position, you will always have to do something, always endangering the interests of certain individuals or even groups. On the battlefield, one general will succeed and thousands of bones will be withered. In the examination room, thousands of troops will cross the single-plank bridge. In officialdom,
Isn't that the case in the world? Many cruel games are played in secret. The calm on the surface does not mean the world is peaceful. Sometimes, when it comes to personal interests, you need to be selfish. If you don't serve yourself, heaven and earth will destroy you. I hope you can remember these.
ah."
"Uncle Yi, I will remember it."
"Self-reliance is easier said than done. People's character has been formed long ago. There is a popular saying now that character determines destiny. There is a profound truth. To do things, you cannot do without people. The right time, place and people are the key.
It's still about harmony, a good man has three gangs, there is no way out if you fight alone, if your confidants or close relatives have problems, what should you do, help or not, I mean they really have problems,
what would you do?"
Yuan Zili was asked. He had never encountered this situation before and didn't know how to deal with it.
"People are not born thinking about doing bad things or making mistakes. There is always a process for this situation to occur. When I used to work in the city, the mayor was very cooperative with my work. However, later on in some economic aspects,
I made a mistake and saw the possibility of being exposed. The mayor found me. I thought about it for a long time and asked the mayor to settle these matters on his own. I suppressed all the investigation letters from my superiors. Later, the city
He tried to think of a way and transferred his job to another place. Since then, he has paid me New Year greetings every year, and he has never missed one. He once told me that after making mistakes, people's psychology is extremely fragile. If they don't get the support from the outside,
It is easy to go to extremes when it comes to comfort and help. With this lesson, you will remember it all the time. After your mood gradually calms down, you will find that your previous ideas were naive. When I was the main leader of the city, I also investigated and punished some
*** elements, I have never thought about people having such thoughts. I always thought that most people healed their scars and forgot about the pain. Later, the mayor made me realize that some people can learn lessons, so I agree.
Your point of view must be lenient and lenient. But don’t misunderstand me. When you meet those who are always thinking about dealing with you, you should not be merciful. You are already in a high position and you should have your own ideas.
, think of all possibilities, all aspects of things, and have ways to deal with all possible things that may happen.”
Yuan Zili had been pondering the doubts in his mind for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Uncle Yi, I have a question. I would like to ask you. What should I do if the other party has the same status as me, or a similar status, or even a higher status than me, and a conflict occurs between us? It is an inevitable conflict."
"It's very simple, either he falls or you fall. If you don't want to fall, just find a way to deal with him. You know, in the officialdom, to win people's hearts, the most important thing is to respond to the needs of the other party and give respect to those with low status.
Giving money to the poor, aid to the distressed, and giving opportunities to job seekers is the most effective way. You cannot win over people with similar status to you or people with higher status than you. Therefore, between you,
It's just a game. What I said before is that I ask you to ignore the faults of others and tolerate things that have nothing to do with the overall situation. You should be patient and give in when you should, and don't worry about it. "
"Uncle Yi, I understand."
"Self-reliance, we have the same affection as father and son. I have long regarded you as my own child. You and Xiaojun each have their own strengths. You are calmer and far-sighted than Xiaojun. Xiaojun is not suitable for officialdom. His
The choice was right. You supported him back then. Now I want to thank you. You helped Xiaojun make the right choice."
"Uncle Yi, these are all choices made by Xiaojun himself. Xiaojun is actually better than me."
"I'm glad that you have the ability. Here is a passage that I saw by chance. It touched me very much. Take a look at it and think about it carefully. It will be good for you in the future."
Yi Xianglin's handwriting is very good. This passage was obviously copied carefully by Yi Xianglin. Yuan Zili took it and looked at it carefully. There are not many words: You can't change the environment, but you can change your mood. You can change it.
You can't change the facts, but you can change the present. You can't change the past, but you can change your attitude. You can't control others, but you can control yourself. You can't predict tomorrow, but you can grasp today. You can't have everything go smoothly, but you can do everything with your best.
You can't control the weather, but you can change your mood. You can't choose your appearance, but you can show your smile. Sometimes your mentality is more important than anything else.
Yuan Zili carefully thought about the meaning of this sentence. He did not understand for a while what Yi Xianglin meant by this sentence.
"Be self-reliant. When you are proud, think of frustration. When you are frustrated, don't lose hope. This passage must have been realized by people who have gone through many vicissitudes of life. I want you to carefully ponder this passage because I want you to experience the mentality of pride and frustration.
You are in a high position now, and you don’t have such a mentality. If your eyes are always focused on successful people and you can’t maintain the mentality of taking both gains and losses, you won’t be able to rise smoothly and reach the pinnacle of life. I’m not trying to
You can personally experience the feelings and mentality of most ordinary people in society. You can't do this. You just need to think that you are also ordinary people, but they are ordinary people who have achieved success through struggle. There are still many people who cannot succeed.
You can maintain a calm mind at any time and face all people and things calmly. Only then will you truly take off."
The work enthusiasm of those who are about to leave is incomparable to before. Yuan Zili fully felt it. After Yi Xianglin talked with him, he saw that he was much more relaxed, especially at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, where he had to express his opinions in the past.
, put forward opinions, but in this Standing Committee meeting, Yi Xianglin did not put forward any opinions, just like a bystander, Zhu Qinglun did not deliberately consult Yi Xianglin's opinions, everyone knew that Yi Xianglin was about to leave Xishan Province.
.
The next contrast is that Yi Xianglin's home is quiet. Many people who used to wait outside have disappeared. This is a normal situation. Everyone knows that you are leaving and will soon be out of control. Come to the door at this time. Visiting has no practical effect. Most people are snobbish. Those who can visit Yi Xianglin's home have a different status and are more utilitarian. Yi Xianglin is very calm and does not feel unhappy at all. Expression: Although I am still working at the provincial government, I am already commuting to get off work on time.
Yuan Zili often visits Yi Xianglin's house. In the past, Yuan Zili was still a little taboo. Now that Yi Xianglin is leaving, Yuan Zili is no longer worried and goes there almost every day. Yuan Zili is very impressed by the quietness of Yi Xianglin's house.
Feeling, the difference between before and after was too great. Yi Xianglin didn't care at all about the complaining tone. Instead, he said that Yuan Zili was immature and Yuan Zili was unconvinced. This was a truth often mentioned in official education.
"Uncle Yi, I see that many times, everyone persists until the last minute. As long as the document has not been downloaded and is still in place, you must be responsible to the end. It is not good for you to do this. You still have to give instructions.
, you still have to work hard.”
"Haha, you are criticizing me. Alas, you are not yet my age. Real retirement is different from temporary adjustment. Even if it is a temporary adjustment, it is taboo to behave like this. Work is not done in a day.
The earth will still turn around no matter who you leave it. When you become a leader, you feel that you have a heavy responsibility and are different. You propose to take responsibility one day at a time, even if you know clearly that your superiors have already decided, and you will not give up. This is an irrational approach. Mature
People will not do this. At least I have never seen such a person. You have to leave. Will the people below listen to you? As a leader, you have to do things and offend people. If you don’t let go at this time, you are not looking for it yourself.
Isn’t it boring? In my opinion, this is a sign of dissatisfaction with the superior’s adjustment and a sign of anger. I don’t object to this approach, but I won’t do it.”
"Uncle Yi, I am joking. What you said is true. In some literary works nowadays, such things are often mentioned. In fact, such a situation will not happen. I have seen many people facing the adjustment period.
, his attitude became kinder, and the cadres below him talked more when they saw him. During that time, both parties seemed to be equals."
"Yes, especially the cadres who are about to retire, they must adjust their mentality in time. After retirement, it will be different from when they were in office. If they cannot adapt quickly, there will be a great psychological contrast. The next step is to complain about this complaint.
Then, from your own treatment to the ability of your successor, find out such and such problems. It seems that you did the best when you were in office, causing a lot of troubles and making everyone avoid them. It not only affects you,
It will also affect my family, and I won’t do that.”
"Uncle Yi, it would be great if all the old leaders thought like you."
Yuan Zili remembered the situation when he visited veteran cadres. Some veteran cadres spoke as if they were educating future generations on how to do this and how to do that. Yuan Zili was very disgusted, especially the symposium held by the Municipal Veteran Cadres Bureau.
It was because of Yuan Zili's participation that veteran cadres spoke enthusiastically. Some were so red-faced that they put forward a lot of opinions and suggestions. Some veteran cadres also suggested that more consideration should be given to the benefits of retired and retired veteran cadres. Welfare allowances should not be too low. Everyone wants
Old cadres, some even say that they can be the same as serving cadres. Veteran cadres have established a stronghold and made contributions and should enjoy it. Yuan Zili remembers that at that time, the veteran cadres' bureau chief's face turned pale and he would look at Yuan Zili from time to time.
"Self-reliance means that people have to grow old. The elderly should be respected by everyone, but if you don't respect them because you are old, will everyone still respect you? Some people are too obsessed with power. Even if they retire, they don't know how to restrain themselves.
When I teach the younger generation a lesson, I feel happy at the time, but he will not know the impact it will have. Sometimes, the whole family may suffer from it."
Yuan Zili believed that Yi Xianglin had really seen through it.
