Chapter 7

Liu Fangming was upset, but the situation was unclear, and it was not easy to tell him, so he smiled wryly and said, "I don't know what's going on, I've been so busy for the past ten days, I didn't care about it. I have to ask this question. I’ll get to know you first, and then I’ll communicate with you.” Saying this, without looking at Qin Dalong, the head of the Organization, hurried downstairs, got into his car, slammed the door, and with a bang, Scared the driver enough.

Just a few minutes later, before the car reached the provincial government compound, the phone in the bag rang.Liu Fangming picked it up and saw that it was Qin Dalong who called in.So he hesitated for a few seconds, still answered the phone, and said weakly: "Minister Qin, what's the matter, please tell me!"

As soon as Qin Dalong heard Liu Fangming call his official title like this, he knew that he had misunderstood in his heart and complained to himself. When we met in normal times, Liu Fangming never called Qin Dalong Minister Qin. Sometimes he was called Dalong, sometimes Time to call brother.In terms of age, Liu Fangming is five or six years older than Qin Dalong, so this kind of address is natural and kinder.

It is said that the two people have never had any relationship, and they are both foreigners who came to Xijiang to serve as officials.Qin Dalong came over from other provinces on an exchange, and he has been in Xijiang Province as the head of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department for less than two years.Liu Fangming, on the other hand, belongs to the cadres sent down from Beijing. He started as an assistant to the governor and director of the Finance Department, and was finally promoted to the governor of Xijiang Province. Although he has been in Xijiang Province for many years, he is still a foreign cadre in essence. Qin Dalong has a common language.

I only heard Qin Dalong say: "Governor Liu, it was really unexpected! I didn't succeed in Xiao Xiao's matter. I'm sorry. I originally reported Xiao Xiao's name according to your intention. Who Knowing that at three o'clock in the afternoon, that is, half an hour before the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Deputy Secretary Zhou suddenly asked to check the list for the last time. I thought you had greeted him in advance, so I didn't care. Who knew that Deputy Secretary Zhou After reading the list, I was dissatisfied with the three candidates for the provincial government agencies. I thought that these three people lacked grassroots work experience and did not conform to the spirit of the regulations on the promotion and appointment of party and government leading cadres. After explaining it, Deputy Secretary Zhou still insisted on his opinion, saying that he should take it easy and put these three people in the county for a year to exercise, and then think about it in the next year. Agreed. When the meeting is held, it is too late to explain. Besides, if Xiao Xiao is only reported, others will sue, and maybe he will be more passive at that time. I wanted to explain to you after the meeting, but I didn’t keep up with you, so I had to give You should make a phone call first, and we can talk in detail after we meet."

Hearing his explanation, Liu Fangming immediately understood the crux of the matter. It turned out that Zhou Guangsheng was causing trouble, the old fox.He must have complained that I didn't take a stand on his son-in-law's promotion, so he deliberately put me in the army like this.

Zhou Guangsheng's son-in-law is Li Anping, who works as the director of the personnel department of the provincial government office.When Zhou Guangsheng was the vice-governor, he fell in love with Li Anping, who had just graduated from university, and married his daughter to him.At that time Li Anping was still a middle school teacher, and Zhou Guangsheng's daughter Zhou Min was a college classmate.After graduation, under Zhou Guangsheng's arrangement, Zhou Min joined the Jiangcheng City Education Committee and became a civil servant.And because Li Anping had nothing to do with him, and he graduated from a teacher's college in the province, he had no choice but to become a teacher.After Zhou Min and Li Anping's relationship was clarified, Zhou Guangsheng saw that Li Anping's writing was good and he was a talented person, so he arranged for him to advance to the Personnel Department of the Jiangcheng City Government Office.After working for three years, I was promoted to the department level, and then I was transferred to the provincial government, and went to the general office as a chief staff member.In the next few years, I would step up and become deputy director and director, and I have been the director of personnel for more than three years. It is said that I am qualified for promotion.

As for the candidates for deputy department-level cadres to be reported by the provincial government this time, the provincial government's Secretary-General Xue Zhiheng once reported to Liu Fangming once, and let the governor make the final decision on who to report.

According to the usual practice, the general office of the provincial government will hold a special meeting for the candidates for deputy department-level reserve cadres to be reported, and organize all staff to vote by secret ballot. According to the number of votes, a ranking will be made. This is called a public opinion survey.

Of course, the number of votes won is not publicly announced, and only a few people know it.The staff who participated in the vote counting, the Secretary-General Xue Zhiheng, and the Governor Liu Fangming also knew it. The other seven deputy governors and seven deputy secretaries-general did not necessarily know it.How much you want others to know, or not to let everyone know at all, everything is up to Liu Fangming.He is the king of the provincial government compound. He has the final decision on the transfer of funds ranging from more than [-] million yuan to the transfer of a civil servant, promotion and promotion.

The results of public opinion polls show that Xiao Gang's votes are not as high as Li Anping's.Xiao Gang's education is not as good as Li Anping's.Although Li Anping graduated from a normal school, under the personal guidance of his old father-in-law these years, he has fully realized the importance of academic qualifications.Since Zhou Guangsheng left the provincial government, he has successively served as the head of the organization of the Provincial Party Committee of Xijiang Province and the deputy secretary of the organization. Based on his many years of experience in organization work, he earnestly warned his son-in-law: "The further you go, the more highly educated you will be. If you want to enjoy yourself in the officialdom and get promoted quickly, without a doctoral degree, you may not be able to do it in the future. In the current promotion of cadres, there is no way to judge real talents and learning. You can only look at the diploma first, and see which school you graduated from. What education background, what position did you work in. The resume is important, and the diploma is the most important. With a doctoral degree, first of all, you will give your superiors a good impression, as if you are a legendary talent. Because China has valued diplomas since ancient times In ancient times, when you went to Beijing to catch the exam, and you got the first prize, even the emperor looked at you highly, and the prime minister might marry your daughter to you. In fact, what they looked at was not your real talent and learning, but your exam. Besides, in the officialdom, there is no way to show real talent and learning. Everyone handles documents and holds meetings. As petty officials, they just run errands and do some specific things. I'm not a fool, if I work harder, I can do it step by step. That's why Li Hongzhang, a famous official in the Qing Dynasty, once said: "What is the best thing to do in this world? Be an official!" So there is nothing unusual about being an official. Don't look at those big officials. Majestic, in fact, the stomach may be the same as yours, it is just a stomach full of vegetable shit, full of fat, poor thinking, so the official loves to speak official language, clichés, and nonsense, not because he is born like this, but because he has nothing in his head and is afraid If he made a mistake, he was afraid of making a fool of himself in public, so that others would see through his details, so he had to follow the scriptures and live his life to the end. The speech made people drowsy, and he himself was physically and mentally exhausted. Wasted other people's precious time, and ruined himself However, it is better to be an official than not to be an official, and it is better to be a big official than a small official. From ancient times to the present, when there is a famine, the people who starve to death first are the common people, not the one who starved to death first If you look at the direction of reform in the future, the iron rice bowls of workers have been smashed, and the iron rice bowls of public institutions will soon become paper rice bowls. The society is full of laid-off and unemployed workers and migrant workers. Most of them will be People have to beg for food from private entrepreneurs. Private enterprises, to put it nicely, are the new social class. To put it bluntly, they are capitalists. Capitalists all over the world are actually the same, The entrepreneurs and bosses from the United States, Hong Kong, Taiwan, or our own villages and towns all want to make money. They all regard making money as their primary purpose in life. It is an objective truth that does not depend on human consciousness. Marx has long said that capital can take risks for 100% profits; for 300% profits, it can risk the gallows. These people, in order to get rich, are It will not take into account the interests of migrant workers. Today, when various legal systems are not perfect, it is basically more difficult for ordinary people to live a good life by working part-time. At present, there is still a guarantee, at least wages will increase every year, no matter whether workers or farmersHow is the life of the people, but the wages of civil servants will continue to rise every year, why?Because the policies are made by them, who would be so stupid as to reduce their wages every year!This is the simplest truth.So I advise you, Xiao Li, if I can speak for you while I am still in the leadership position, you have to get a doctorate degree, and the chance of promotion in the future will be a matter of course. As long as you go up, our family will have another As a senior cadre, when I retire in the future, it will be easy to handle anything! "

After hearing what his father-in-law said, Li Anping suddenly realized that he didn't forget to study while working. First, he obtained a master's degree on the job, and later spent seven to eighty thousand to get a doctoral degree.As for how to get it, it is natural to spend money on treats and give gifts to build relationships.But no matter what, the diploma is in hand, and there is a note in the file that it is "on-the-job doctor".

His Ph.D. is not uncommon in the provincial government now, and many directors spend money to get one.Most of the bureau chiefs have them.The common people call these doctor officials "doctors mixed with water" to distinguish them from those real doctors. For a while, China became a country with doctorates, and Chinese officials became the most educated officials on the planet.

But a Ph.D. does not represent erudition, and a diploma does not represent a level.As the head of the provincial government, Liu Fangming has a bachelor's degree.Yang Chunfeng, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, only has a college degree.Therefore, Liu Fangming never expected to take a high look at these doctors from the provincial government. He often scolded in private: "These fake doctors are all fucking garbage, one by one, they are all officials. Does it look like a scholar? Is it a bit refined? I don’t need it, as long as I’m in the provincial government for a day, these fake doctors will never get ahead!”

Therefore, when reporting the candidates for deputy department-level reserve cadres, as soon as he saw that Li Anping's name was ranked in front of his secretary Xiao Gang, he immediately asked the secretary to call the secretary-general Xue Zhiheng and point to Li Anping's name. Said: "I can't have him this time, will there be Xiao Xiao's scene with him? Cross it out!"

Xue Zhiheng smiled and said: "Boss, I think you should reconsider and report him. His father-in-law is Zhou Guangsheng. If he gets in the way, it will be difficult! At that time, Xiao Xiao may not be able to pass!" "

At that time, Liu Fangming had just been the governor for two years. When he was sitting on his buttocks and enjoying the spring breeze, his brain was a little swollen. He thought that there was nothing he couldn't do in Xijiang Province, so he didn't follow the secretary-general's suggestion and took He started to write, crossed out Li Anping's name, casually threw the document to Xue Zhiheng and said, "Just report it like this. I'll see if Zhou Guangsheng dares to do anything to me."

Seeing that he was like this, the Secretary-General had no choice but to give up and report to the Organization Department according to his wishes.

Zhou Guangsheng was full of hope for his son-in-law, but he couldn't find Li Anping's name on the list sent by the organization department, so he asked Qin Dalong if the provincial government made a mistake.

Qin Dalong said: "It's not wrong, Governor Liu Fangming has personally seen it. I have already called Secretary-General Xue to ask."

Zhou Guangsheng understood as soon as he heard it, so after thinking for a few days, he decided to launch a surprise attack to let Liu Fangming know his own value.And so there was the situation at the beginning of the meeting.

Yang Chunfeng didn't know about Zhou Guangsheng and Liu Fangming's little quarrel, but from the performance of the two of them at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Yang Chunfeng knew that there must be some discord between the two of them, but what was the specific matter? Yang Chunfeng didn't bother to understand.As the top leader, he felt that the relationship between the governor and the deputy secretary of the organization was not good, and it was not a bad thing for him, the secretary of the provincial party committee.They can't be twisted into a rope and fight back and forth, so they are safer and can divide and conquer.Chairman Mao once said that with a population of 12 to [-] million, how can we live without fighting?Yang Chunfeng's personal experience is that with so many people in the team and [-] members of the Standing Committee, it is unrealistic not to fight!Didn't the chairman also say that fighting against the sky brings endless joy; fighting against the earth brings endless joy; fighting people brings endless joy.In the past, this was interpreted as derogatory, and it was considered to be the expansion of class struggle.In fact, this is Chairman Mao's theory of contradiction, which is very great and very incisive.Contradictions are everywhere, and there are contradictions and struggles everywhere. One ebbs and another, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.This is especially true in officialdom, where conflicts cannot be avoided.We can only find a balance point that both parties accept in the struggle with each other, so as to achieve superficial harmony.So harmony is the result, and struggle is the process.In order to achieve harmony, there must be struggle. These are two aspects of a contradiction.

After reading so many books, the chairman's book is still very meaningful!Yang Chunfeng felt emotional spontaneously.

After thinking wildly for a while, he gradually sorted out his thoughts, and his mood immediately improved a lot.He looked at Gao Tianmin again with admiring eyes, and said: "I know what you mean, and I will think about it carefully. When Wang Yiming takes office, the Standing Committee of our Provincial Party Committee will hold a plenary meeting to reconsider the division of labor among the leadership team." In the past few days, I will meet with Governor Fangming and listen to his opinions. Wang Yiming's life matters will be handled by you. What I mean is, you should first contact Wang Yiming on behalf of the provincial party committee. , see when you will arrive, when the appointment documents will be communicated, and if there is anything, report to me, and you can do it." After speaking, he waved his hand to Gao Tianmin, lowered his head, and continued to review the piles of documents on the table .

Gao Tianmin walked back to his office unhurriedly. Secretary Xiaoqiu saw that the boss had returned, so he hurriedly stood up, served tea and water, and waited for the boss to sit down.

Gao Tianmin sat in the boss's chair, closed his eyes, waved his hand, and signaled that Xiaoqiu was fine and let him stay for a while.Xiaoqiu immediately understood what the boss meant, walked to his office quietly and wittily, closed the door gently, and went about his own business.

Gao Tianmin sat there, although his eyes were closed, his mind was running fast.He was thinking about how to arrange this Wang Yiming, and what the basic principles for dealing with Wang Yiming would be in the next three years.Three years later, Yang Chunfeng retired, what should he do.The most important issue at present is to serve the boss Yang Chunfeng as always, and not to offend the future boss Wang Yiming.Otherwise, once Yang Chunfeng retired and changed his leadership, he would be very embarrassed.It doesn’t matter if you become an official or not. Anyway, you’re getting older. It’s just a transition to the National People’s Congress or the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. He will also give himself face, so that everyone's face will look better.But the situation is not good, when the time comes when you go down in despair, you will make others laugh at you, and you will be the laughing stock of the officialdom. If you go out by yourself, it will be difficult to meet people.Therefore, the most important thing is to have a good sense of proportion and sense of proportion to satisfy both masters. This is not easy. This is the most headache for Gao Tianmin at present.

After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't figure out a clue. It seems that I can only take one step at a time, and then adapt to the situation when the time comes.The most urgent thing at the moment is to contact Wang Yiming for his appointment. He is the secretary-general of the provincial party committee and the housekeeper, and this is his job.

Thinking of this, he stood up, opened the door, and said to his secretary, "Xiao Qiu, please contact Wang Zhong from the Beijing Office and ask him to call my office."

Originally, Wang Zhong's phone number was on his mobile phone, so he just looked for it and found it.But a big leader, with a lot of work to do every day, usually doesn't call himself, especially to his subordinates.Wang Zhong's Beijing Office is under the management of the General Office, and Gao Tianmin is Wang Zhong's direct boss.Therefore, whenever he asked Wang Zhong to call, Wang Zhong had to call. This is the rule.

After a while, the phone on the desk rang, no need to look, it was Wang Zhong's.Gao Tianmin picked up the phone, gave a hello, and heard Wang Zhong's voice right next to his ear, and said in awe, "Boss, I'm Wang Zhong. What's your order?"

"Xiao Wang, have you read the news in the past few days?"

"Which aspect? Boss."

"Wang Yiming is coming to our Xijiang, do you know?"

"I know, I am waiting for your old man's order."

"Secretary Yang talked with me just now and asked to do a good job in the reception of Deputy Secretary Wang Yiming. You will be in charge of the Beijing side. You should contact Wang Yiming as soon as possible and ask him about his itinerary. I will be ready here. How about this, you call Wang Yiming first, tell him that I want to talk to him first, and pass on Secretary Yang's intentions, and you tell Xiaoqiu the number first, and I will call later."

"Okay, I'll contact you right away, please wait for my call! Goodbye boss!"

After receiving Gao Tianmin's order, Wang Zhong quickly flipped through the phone book and looked for Wang Yiming's number.Wang Zhong is familiar with Wang Yiming.Wang Zhong has been stationed in Beijing for more than ten years.Starting from the deputy general manager of Xijiang Building, step by step, he became the director of the Beijing Office at the deputy department level.He almost has the phone numbers of all the cadres above the deputy director level in various ministries and agencies in the capital.During the holidays, he contacts countless people.For vice-ministerial cadres in key positions like Wang Yiming, it is the focus of contact with various Beijing Offices.If there is nothing wrong, always make a phone call and say hello.Every August [-]th, New Year's Day and Spring Festival, these festivals that Chinese people pay more attention to, the task of the Beijing Office is to make good contacts, deliver the local specialties from the province, and fully express the human feelings that should be expressed.Once a leader from the province comes to the ministry to do something, make sure he can find someone and get things done.
