Chapter 106 The Happy Event of the Lu Family

Lu Qi went directly to her parents' house and told her father about it.She was worried that her father wanted her to explain two things clearly. The first was the relationship between Tao Tang and Secretary Lu of the municipal party committee, and the second was the relationship between Tao Tang and herself.

She couldn't explain the first one clearly, and she couldn't explain the second one clearly.

Fortunately, the father, who was surprised but soon seemed very happy, just asked the first thing.Lu's father, who went to the Retirement Center every day, heard the story of the second sewage station, but the old man didn't believe it. He thought that there was a lot of rumours. When he asked Lu Qi, Lu Qi couldn't explain clearly. She knew no more than her father. But there is no need to doubt that Secretary Lu supported Tao Tang, this is enough to prove that the two are old.Just now when Tao Tang informed her that Lu Wei might be selected as Secretary Lu's secretary, she asked this question casually, but Tao Tang didn't say anything.Fortunately, Father Lu didn't ask about the second matter, which made Lu Qi feel relieved.

At that time, the old man was watering flowers on the balcony. He was very happy at first when he heard the news, but then he became serious again.

"So, it's possible for Xiaowei to become the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Lu?"

"It's just possible. That's what Mr. Tao said." Lu Qi considered her words, "The reason why I told me is that I want us to bring a message to Xiaowei, so that he can be prepared..."

Father's joy faded, very quickly, "Do you think he's up to the job? I heard that job isn't that easy."

"In any case, this is a rare opportunity for Xiaowei..." Lu Qi still couldn't help the excitement in her heart, "Xiaowei has been worrying about his work for a long time."

"Yes, yes..." Father Lu handed the plastic watering can to Lu Qi, "Call him and let him come back."

The dinner was at his father's house, and the old lady called her son-in-law back from the poker table. Fan Yongcheng was even more excited when he heard the news, and kept saying yes, that's great, this is really a great event worth celebrating.Fan Yongcheng took the opportunity to suggest some good wine at night, but in fact he doesn't like drinking.

Waiting for his son to come back, old man Lu put down the newspaper in his hand, "I think you are all happy, the more I think about it, the more I feel that this may not be a good thing."

"Why is it not a good thing? Dad, you are an old-headed, pessimist." Fan Yongcheng handed over a cigarette and lit it for his father-in-law. "Don't worry about Xiaowei's ability, he will be competent."

"Why do people want to change their secretary? Have you ever thought about it? At least it shows that Secretary Lu is not a good person to serve. As far as Lu Wei's loose temper is concerned, is it suitable? If you can't do it, you might as well not do it! I have said many times, people It’s worth having self-knowledge.”

"You are an old brain! What Yongcheng said is right." The old lady came out of the kitchen, "Yongcheng, call Xiaowei again, if he is still early, we will have dinner."

"Let's wait for him. I have to curry favor with Xiaowei in the future. The power is scary, and just knowing the whereabouts of Secretary Lu is enough to curry favor." Fan Yongcheng took out his mobile phone with a smile, called his brother-in-law, and then reported Mother-in-law, "Hurry up, I'll be right back, I've already entered the factory gate."

"Yongcheng, I want to criticize you a few words." Old man Lu sternly said, "Your idea just now was wrong, why are you flattering him? Don't say that he hasn't become the secretary of the secretary of the municipal committee, but he has. What do you have? To curry favor with him? Huh?"

Fan Yongcheng was still grinning, "Dad, I'm just joking."

"You brother-in-law, you have to set an example for him. I heard that you have made a lot of trouble in this external quality audit, is it true?"

"It can't be said that it was a slap in the face... It's just that there are more unqualified items than in previous years. That's because the higher ups are not allowed to make up lessons, so we can't blame us..."

"I shouldn't have made up lessons!" The old man's voice became sharp, "Although I haven't worked in the quality department, I understand what you are doing. It's just fake and deceiving people... I don't want to make progress! I have trouble at work. How do you still have time to play cards?"

Lu Qi felt that her father had gone too far, so she hurriedly spoke for her husband, "He has been working overtime recently, and he just stopped. Dad, you are too strict, aren't you?"

"And you! I was just about to talk about you!" The old man pointed at his daughter again, "Now you are considered a leading cadre, deputy director level, not low, and you are not young anymore, your children are all in high school, What are you doing for beauty..."

Lu Qi couldn't laugh or cry, "Not to mention that the administrative level of the company has been abolished long ago, does beauty have anything to do with age level?"

"Why doesn't it matter? In the eyes of ordinary people, you are the leader. Does the leader dress up like a charm? Recently, I heard that the party committee is preparing a document to rectify the work style of cadres. It is clear how accurate it is. It is right to do this. It should have been like this a long time ago." Done! I heard that your classmate wears work clothes, rides a bicycle to the workshop every day, and eats in the big cafeteria with the workers. This is what a leading cadre looks like. You have to learn from them..."

Whenever her father sacrificed his own magic weapon, Lu Qi felt disgusted.Yes, disgust.She lamented that her father's generation had been completely abandoned by the times. The moral norms and social values ​​advocated in the past have actually disappeared, but they persisted, just like planting flowers and plants in concrete slurry, which will not survive.It's good to be able to keep the bottom line now... But she knew that she couldn't convince her father, "Dad, he's the top leader! I'm just a deputy director of the planning department..."

Speaking of work clothes, Lu Qi is annoyed. She cares most about what she wears, but recently the company issued a notice requiring all personnel to wear work clothes "correctly" during working hours.In the past, Lu Qi basically did not wear work clothes except for going to the workshop (rarely) and participating in all middle-level meetings.Her work clothes are always hanging on a hanger in the office.

"If the leader can do it, why can't you do it? If I were Mr. Tao, I would deal with you severely." Father Lu stared at his daughter.

"dad……"

The doorbell rang, and Lu Wei finally came back, thank God.

It was already 10:30 when they left their parents' house. Lu Qi and Fan Yongping rejected Lu Wei's proposal to drive them home and walked home.

Summer has come, and it is a great enjoyment to take a walk in the Red Star summer night, especially when the wind blows the leaves, it always reminds Lu Qi of the scenery of Russia, even though she has never taken a step outside the country.The Ministry of Development and Regulations has the opportunity to go abroad. The four current leaders of the Ministry, except for her, have all gone abroad on business.

If she had the opportunity to go abroad and had a choice, Lu Qi would choose Russia, and she would take a train through the Trans-Siberian Railway. During the journey of several days and nights, she would not be lonely, and she would patiently and attentively appreciate the scenery of Russia.More than ten years ago, Lu Qi loved Russian literature crazily, and crazily read every work that could be bought: Tolstoy's, Turgenev's, Dostoyevsky's, Pushkin's , and Sholokhov's.In contrast, she likes Sholokhov's "Quiet River on the Don" the most, especially the first volume, which describes the life of the Cossacks before the war, fascinates her even more.She immediately discovered that the Red Star Factory, where she had lived and worked for more than [-] years, had certain Russian characteristics: spacious and clean streets, dense and neat trees, and a more leisurely pace of life than the urban area... Especially when going out for a walk at night, This feeling is even stronger.

Several children on mountain bikes drove past them like lightning, leaving behind a series of laughter.

"Xiao Yue is out of school..." Fan Yongcheng said.

Lu Qi didn't say a word.

"President Tao didn't tell you anything else?" Fan Yongcheng asked.

"No……"

"After the incident at the sewage treatment station, it was rumored that the relationship between Mr. Tao and Secretary Lu was unusual... I heard what Mu Qingyun said... I didn't expect Mr. Tao to have such a big face..."

"It's just a suggestion. There was just a drop in the horoscope." Lu Qi whispered, "Besides, what my dad said is not unreasonable..."

Just now, Lu's father seriously pointed out all kinds of misbehaviors of his son, which embarrassed Lu Wei who was in excitement.Father Lu pointed out solemnly, don't be too happy too early, if you are not qualified, you will end up miserable, it is not as good as it is now.

"What your father said is not unreasonable. But at best, it's not that bad." Fan Yongcheng said, "As far as I know, that position doesn't require much advanced professional knowledge, such as writing materials, let's not talk about Xiaowei's writing style." , The key is that the leader does not want his personal secretary to produce writing materials. Just look at our factory and you will know. Does Li Zhibin write things for Mr. Tao? The real big manuscripts are drawn by the leader and written by the political research office. That position is required. It is loyalty and vigilance, these two are enough! I think Xiao Weixing."

"Even if you're right, loyalty and vigilance, which one is enough?"

"Let's talk about loyalty first. It's not that you think you are loyal, but that the leader thinks you are loyal. Why did Secretary Lu change his secretary? Has his current secretary betrayed him? Not necessarily. The key is that Secretary Lu thinks he is unreliable. Why did Secretary Lu change his secretary? Ask Mr. Tao for someone, because he trusts Mr. Tao. He trusts Mr. Tao’s recommendation, at least for now. As for alertness, how many years has Xiaowei been in the municipal committee? Have you ever eaten pork or seen a pig running? In this regard He is much better than us, don’t look at him going home, it’s his family. I can guarantee that he is definitely not like this in the unit.”

"You trust him. If it's what you said, why did he make such a fuss and change his job? At least it shows that he's immature."

"Perhaps a little immature. But right now it is an advantage rather than a disadvantage." Fan Yongcheng said firmly.

"Oh? What's the point?"

"The Deputy Secretary-General surnamed Bai doesn't like him, right? Think about it, since Secretary Lu spoke to Mr. Tao, in their status, this kind of thing is definitely not a joke, and they will definitely take it seriously. Next, Secretary Lu How to do it? Generally speaking, they will definitely inquire about Xiao Wei's situation. Do you think it's better for Secretary Lu to hear Xiao Wei's immediate boss praise Xiao Wei, or to belittle him?" Fan Yongcheng was persuasive.

"Of course it's good to praise him. Would you be happy to hear bad things about him from the organization?"

"You're right, that's right. Why did Secretary Lu ask Mr. Tao for someone? Because he doesn't trust the people around him. Just like Mr. Tao came to Red Star alone, do you think he will trust his deputy? He I would rather trust you than trust those people. For the same reason, so, when the surname Bai speaks ill of Xiao Wei, it helps Xiao Wei, and only the cadres they don’t like, Secretary Lu can feel at ease by staying by his side.”

"What kind of theory are you talking about..."

"What I'm talking about is the truth, the truth in the officialdom."

"Bragging, let's return the truth." Lu Qi is very familiar with her husband's tricks, "You know so much, why can't you improve while squatting at the department level?"

"Knowing a lot doesn't necessarily mean doing well. I'm just telling you these words. Besides, knowledge and ability are only necessary conditions, and opportunities are more important. Compared with me, Xiaowei's opportunities are so good. Idealism speaks Fate, materialism talks about opportunities. Without opportunities, even if you are talented and useless? What military exploits would a general in a peaceful age make? Didn’t Li Yu write those little orders that fascinated you when he was a prisoner? Xiaowei, if Secretary Lu hadn’t airborne to Hiraizumi, if Secretary Lu hadn’t been on good terms with Mr. Tao, I’d be done with him for the rest of his life. It’s just a fantasy for him to think of a real job below. He might even want to find a good job if he doesn’t have a good relationship with the leader. Dreaming. But that’s where the opportunities come. Sometimes the sky is full of pies. If Xiaowei does well, in three years, at most three years, he will at least get a deputy county level with real power. In my opinion, he will be a The deputy county magistrate or deputy secretary is more promising than staying in the city. By the time our Xiaoyue graduates from university, Xiaowei will already be in charge of the officialdom in Hiraizumi. Don’t think he is a deputy director, but he is much better than a vice president of our factory. It is true that Red Star is a big factory, even if it is the top leader, it is nothing outside this fence..."

"You think far ahead... Let's talk about the present first, I don't know if this will be possible." Lu Qi also felt tempted.

"I think this matter is likely to be successful. Think carefully, Mr. Tao is unfathomable and powerful. When the matter is done, you must ask Xiaowei to thank him. You were right when you said there is no rush now, even if he It's not rare, attitude, attitude is the most important thing, you know, he has to do it himself, you can't do it for me." Speaking of this, Fan Yongcheng was worried, and his tone was sour, "Speaking of which, Mr. Tao is really serious to you. That's right, you have to admit, he's doing it purely for your sake..." He immediately thought that his wife must have had a private relationship with Tao Tang, otherwise how would Tao Tang know about his brother-in-law?
Lu Qi heard her husband's sour smell, she was startled, and then she calmed down, "What are you talking about? It seems that I did something shameful behind your back. I did talk to Tao Tang about Xiaowei's matter. When you think about him, you really remember...don’t get it wrong, he’s just doing it for the sake of his old classmates, and for him, this matter is just a matter of effort.”

"If you think so, you're totally wrong!" Fan Yongcheng said seriously, "In my opinion, Mr. Tao's official resources are extremely deep. How can he not understand the rules of officialdom? Officialdom pays attention to the exchange of interests. Secretary Lu asked Tao The president’s request for help is actually an illusion. With the respect of Secretary Lu, how can there be a lack of a secretary? In my opinion, this matter is that Secretary Lu showed his favor to Mr. Tao, or repaid Mr. Tao’s debt. Such a huge wealth was transferred to Xiaowei, how can it be said that it is a matter of little effort? Think, who can he give it to? Even if he can't be a personal secretary, it is a great honor to have the secretary of the municipal party committee remember his name. When you come, let’s talk about your Xiaowei. Even if this matter cannot be done, Secretary Lu will remember him. For department-level cadres like Xiaowei, Secretary Lu is God. Ah. I can assure you that even if Xiaowei can’t take up the post as he wished, Xiaowei’s job will be settled, and I think this matter is [-]% complete. Therefore, Xiaowei must be grateful to Mr. Tao. I think With Xiaowei's experience, there is absolutely no need to be reminded of this truth."

"Why do I sound too vulgar? Who do you think they are?"

"Vulgar? The extreme of vulgarity is elegance. Think about it, why does Secretary Lu want to find Mr. Tao's important person?"

"By the way, you said just now that things will definitely happen? Why?"

"When did Mr. Tao tell you about this? Can you tell me?"

"It's afternoon, maybe a little after six o'clock. I just came back from shopping with Yan Shuzhen and others. When he came back from the car, he got down and told me... the same things he said at home just now."

"With Mr. Tao's identity and personality, he won't tell you things that he's not sure about, right? I guess people have already talked about this before. Mr. Tao must have gone to the city to meet Secretary Lu today, and just happened to see him. You, let you tell Xiaowei that there is a preparation, so that he will not be caught off guard and lose his composure."

"Hey, personality, what's Mr. Tao's personality? I'm not even sure." Lu Qi smiled.She felt that what Lao Fan said was very reasonable, and she was happy for her younger brother.

"Act after making up your mind. Saying something disrespectful is a bit dark."

"I don't think so. I will attend his convening more than you. I don't think there is any 'yin'. On the contrary, I think he is very open and aboveboard."

"How can the words at the meeting count? If you believe what the leaders said at the meeting, I'm afraid you will be at fault for years." Fan Yongcheng sneered, "Although you are classmates, your experience determines the difference in your realm. Mr. Tao pondered Even his most trusted subordinates may not talk about things, how do you know?"

In an instant, Lu Qi thought of several conversations with Tao Tang, including the evaluation of several high-ranking officials, including the Ren family... The coldness she felt in an instant was dispelled by a warm flame. He is good to me, otherwise , why do you say items for Xiaowei?
　Thanks to book friend Daning for his generous reward.
