As Secretary Zhao Tianran's secretary, Yuan Zili's duty is to serve the secretary. However, Zhao Tianran's real secretary is Director Liao Jinglin, and Yuan Zili is responsible for specific matters. Therefore, when Secretary Li Bing of the Municipal Party Committee comes to Xuanshi County, Yuan Zili's main
His job was to arrange the reception, prepare the site, prepare for the meeting, and make appearances, all of which were Director Liao Jinglin's business. Except for meeting Secretary Li Bing at a banquet, Yuan Zili had no personal contact with Secretary Li Bing.
After this incident, Yuan Zili found that Zhao Tianran and Liao Jinglin's attitude towards him had changed a lot. Especially Secretary Zhao Tianran, who usually took Yuan Zili with him when he went out.
Zhao Tianran kept Yuan Zili in check for several days. After this incident, Zhao Tianran thought that Yuan Zili would inevitably brag secretly or be in high spirits. After all, Yuan Zili was a young man who had achieved great results at work and was somewhat proud.
His emotions were normal, but Yuan Zili didn't have the slightest sense of pride and still maintained a humble and cautious attitude. Zhao Tianran believed that this Yuan Zili, who is young, so steady, and has a peaceful mind, will have a bright future in the future.
Zhao Tianran did not expect that what Yuan Zili was thinking about at this moment was that these things were his job, there was nothing to say, and it was natural to do his job well.
In December, Zhao Tianran went to various districts and towns across the county to inspect work. At the end of the year, Zhao Tianran went to various districts and towns to learn about the year's work. Zhao Tianran didn't like to sit in the office and listen to reports. He liked to go downstairs to see the actual situation. Sometimes
Notify the district and town, sometimes without notifying, and then return directly to the county after checking the situation.
Liao Jinglin became busy. At the end of the year, the county party committee office had to arrange various inspections and prepare for inspections from many units in the city. Therefore, when Secretary Zhao Tianran went to the countryside, Yuan Zili accompanied him.
Yuan Zili cherished this opportunity. He didn't know much about the situation in the districts and towns. Yuan Zili had always lived in a small county. When he was in college, he stayed away from the countryside. Later, he always worked in the county.
, I was assigned to the towns for four years, and I didn’t have peace of mind at all. Now, following Secretary Zhao Tianran to inspect the districts and towns is undoubtedly a good opportunity to understand the actual situation in the countryside. Yuan Zili specially prepared two notebooks. Everywhere he goes,
He listened carefully to Secretary Zhao Tianran's questions and took notes carefully, not missing every detail. Yuan Zili did not expect that because of his careful and meticulous records, Yuan Zili could quickly provide the data and information that Secretary Zhao Tianran needed.
On December 11, Zhao Tianran came to Liuhe District.
Zhao Tianran went to Liuhe Cement Factory and Winery to see the situation in the factory. Zhao Tianran did not reveal his identity. At the cement factory, Zhao Tianran asked about the price and sales of cement. The employees of the cement factory saw Zhao Tianran with his secretary and thought he was here.
He asked the big boss and introduced the situation in detail. At the winery, Zhao Tianran tasted the newly brewed sorghum wine and chatted with the winemaker to understand the situation. Yuan Zili followed Zhao Tianran and inevitably tasted the sorghum wine. After several receptions, Zhao Tianran
Naturally, he knew that Yuan Zili could drink, so he did not dissuade Yuan Zili from tasting sorghum wine.
The sorghum wine that had just been brewed had a refreshing aroma, it was warm, and the wine taste was not too strong. The two of them drank the warm sorghum wine while chatting with the brewer. The brewer saw that the two of them could drink and kept praising themselves.
They talked enthusiastically about their skills and talked eloquently. When they came out of the winery, Zhao Tianran and Yuan Zili realized that something was wrong. Sorghum wine is a high-alcohol wine with a strong stamina. They estimated that today was the day for drinking.
too much.
After returning to the car, they both fell asleep after a while.
The driver of the jeep did not want to disturb the two of them, so he drove the car to a secluded place and allowed the two of them to sleep in the car. The attentive driver put on thick military coats for both of them, which were always ready in the car in winter.
He was afraid of catching cold when he went to the countryside. Zhao Tianran did not want to disturb the district committee and district office, so the driver had a military coat ready at all times.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the sky had darkened.
Yuan Zili woke up first and saw Secretary Zhao Tianran still sleeping on the passenger seat in front. He carefully opened the door and got out of the jeep. He saw the driver wearing a military coat and smoking not far away.
After greeting the driver and chatting for a few words, Yuan Zili returned to the jeep without trusting Secretary Zhao Tianran.
Zhao Tianran was already awake and was sitting in the passenger seat smoking. The light in the car was not very good.
"Secretary Zhao, you're awake."
"I woke up, haha. I didn't expect that this sorghum wine is so powerful. I drank too much without realizing it."
"Secretary Zhao, you are really good at drinking, and you also know the art of brewing. I admire you so much about that brewing master."
"Xiao Yuan, I don't know how to make wine, but I still know many of the procedures for making wine."
"Secretary Zhao, I thought you knew how to make wine. You know so much."
"Xiao Yuan, doing administrative work is a panacea. You need to know everything. However, it is impossible to be proficient in everything. As time goes by, you will understand. Well, the car is a little boring. Xiao Yuan, come with me for a walk."
Yuan Zili hurriedly picked up the military coat that Zhao Tianran had put in the back seat. He went out at this time. The temperature outside was low and he caught a cold accidentally. Yuan Zili put on the military coat for Zhao Tianran, and Zhao Tianran waved to the driver.
Understanding what Zhao Tianran meant, he continued to wander around.
Zhao Tianran and Yuan Zili were walking along the uneven district and town roads. Yuan Zili noticed that Secretary Zhao Tianran had a serious look on his face and his eyes were not focused on any target. He seemed to be thinking about something. He did not want to be disturbed and followed them silently.
"Xiao Yuan, you have been with me for more than two months. How do you feel?"
"Secretary Zhao, by following you, I can learn a lot of things. This knowledge cannot be learned in university."
"Xiao Yuan, the standardization of office documents and reception guidelines have been praised by Secretary Li Bing and Secretary Wu Tianyu. What do you think of these two things?"
"Secretary Zhao, I think this is nothing. Improving the office environment is the responsibility of the secretary. You have to consider major events in the county every day. I am your secretary. I will do these small things well so that you can plan the big development plan of the county with peace of mind.
, that is, you have done your essential work well. If you cannot do these little things well, you will not be a qualified secretary."
"Well said, if you don't clean one house, how can you sweep the world? If you want to achieve great things, you should start from small things bit by bit. It's great that you have such an understanding. Xiao Yuan, you are 22 this year
Years old."
"Secretary Zhao, I will be 23 years old next year."
"Xiao Yuan, I don't like to praise individuals. I have a special status. I want to avoid praise that may cause people to have some bad thoughts. However, I really feel that you are very good. You have only been with me for more than two months and you can quickly get into the role.
It is rare among young people to be qualified for essential work and do it so well."
"Secretary Zhao, thank you for your praise of me. After I was assigned to the county party committee office, my father once warned me to be an honest person, work down-to-earth, complete the work assigned, one step at a time, and don't aim too high. I just follow my father's instructions.
Do what you say."
"Xiao Yuan, where does your father work?"
"Secretary Zhao, my father is a college student who went south to support the mountainous areas. He now works in the Organization Department of the Luoyi County Party Committee as a general cadre."
"Really? Your father is a veteran college student. No wonder you behave like this. Xiao Yuan, your father's words are right. Be an honest man and do things in a down-to-earth manner. Don't be too ambitious. Many times, opportunities are there.
It came unknowingly, Xiao Yuan, your opportunities are better than mine. When I was your age, I was still farming in the countryside and didn't know anything, so you should cherish the opportunities you have now."
"Secretary Zhao, I will definitely work hard according to your teachings."
"Xiao Yuan, young people always have to go through wind and rain. Flowers in the greenhouse will not grow big. In the future, you will encounter many things and face countless choices. For some things, the surface and the back are different. You need to
You have to practice, judge, and choose. Being young is both an advantage and a disadvantage. It’s up to you how to grasp it."
Yuan Zili didn't speak. He looked at Zhao Tianran with some expectation in his heart. It seemed that Secretary Zhao had something to say in his conversation with him today. Sure enough, Zhao Tianran continued.
"Xiao Yuan, our generation has experienced the Cultural Revolution, farmed, been farmers, and encountered many twists and turns. We have feelings for the countryside and have our own understanding of things. But the young people of your generation are different.
I have never really experienced hardship since I was a child. My understanding of things or society is still kind and simple. From now on, when you work in an administrative unit, you may as well be more complicated when looking at problems and thinking about things. Don't make decisions easily.
, This is good for you. Working next to the leader will broaden your horizons. However, it is difficult to feel the complexity of interpersonal relationships, so if you have the opportunity, you should go to the grassroots level as soon as possible to exercise."
"Secretary Zhao, I have not been with you for a long time. I want to learn from you more."
"I know, it's only more than two months, which is a bit short."
Zhao Tianran stopped talking and continued to walk forward. Yuan Zili followed beside him. Zhao Tianran took out a cigarette and handed one to Yuan Zili. The two of them lit the cigarette and walked forward in silence.
"Okay, Xiao Yuan, remember what I said today and do your job well."
"Secretary Zhao, I remember."
Yuan Zili regarded this conversation as a major turning point. What Zhao Tianran said was true. Under normal circumstances, leaders would not say these words. If you say them, it proves that you have been deeply remembered by the leader.
, the leader has recognized you, and you no longer need to think too much about issues involving your future. Yuan Zili analyzed based on his own experience that even if Zhao Tianran leaves Xuanshi County, he will properly arrange his whereabouts.
