Chapter 19 1. In China, there is a trick called killing

On the plane back to Hezhou from Beijing, Du Linxiang kept chewing on An Youqi's words.Does this woman really understand herself this way?And am I, Du Linxiang, really as she said, a man with great ambitions in his subconscious?There is only one thing, An Youqi is indeed right, if it is only for personal prosperity, Du Linxiang has already achieved his goal.So, what are you busy with all these years for? The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Du Linxiang rubbed his temples subconsciously, and asked the stewardess to bring a newspaper.The stewardess smiled and handed over a copy of "Hezhou Evening News". Du Linxiang glanced at it. In the lower right corner of the newspaper was a news about Lu Youshun inspecting the construction of Hezhou people's livelihood projects.

The newspaper wrote that during the inspection, an old man took Lu Youshun's hand and thanked the government for promoting the people's livelihood project.Lu Youshun said emotionally: "This is by no means an extra favor from the government to the people, but something we should do well. It is worthwhile to promote people's livelihood projects. We civil servants are the servants of the people, and the servant is the master. Serving is justified, and the master does not need to say thank you!" A smile flashed across the corner of Du Linxiang's mouth.This Lu Youshun is really not an ordinary person, even his pretty words are sweeter than ordinary people.

Back in Hezhou, Du Linxiang immediately called Lu Youshun, saying that he wanted to have a face-to-face review.Lu Youshun seemed a little careless, he just said that it's fine to settle the matter, and let the past go.Lu Youshun also said that he was going to Beijing soon, and he couldn't find time recently.Hearing what Lu Youshun said, Du Linxiang had no choice but to hang up the phone angrily. After experiencing this incident of deleting posts, Du Linxiang became a standard netizen, spending all day on the Internet when he had nothing to do.For several days in a row, Du Linxiang saw posts about Ni Mingfeng, deputy secretary of the Hezhou Municipal Party Committee, on the Internet.According to the post, Ni Mingfeng can be regarded as a model leading cadre in the new era.The following posts are also very lively. Apart from praising Ni Mingfeng, they also express two meanings.The first point is: the majority of Hezhou people firmly demand that a good cadre like Ni Mingfeng be the mayor.Second thing: Many netizens said convincingly that they learned from internal channels that Ni Mingfeng's appointment as mayor is a certainty.

The position of Mayor of Hezhou City has been vacant for several months, and it is understandable that there are various public opinions in the society.Du Linxiang had heard rumors that the higher-ups were investigating candidates for the new mayor of Hezhou City.Lu Youshun was naturally one of the strong contenders, and the other one with the highest voice was Ni Mingfeng, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.Lu Youshun is an airborne cadre, and he is aggressive in promoting work; Ni Mingfeng is a native of Hezhou cadre, with deep connections in the political arena.Between the two, it can be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

These rumors have always been true and false.Moreover, Lu Youshun was a tight-lipped person who never talked about his official career to the outside world.Even Du Linxiang's close confidant doesn't have much inside information.Du Linxiang only discovered from his own observations that Lv Youshun likes to show his face in the media recently, and he always likes to go to Beijing. The news spread more and more widely, even Zhou Yuru, who usually never surfs the Internet, knew about it.One day at dinner, Zhou Yuru asked her husband: "It's rumored everywhere that Ni Mingfeng is going to take over as mayor. Is it true? Then Mayor Lu, wouldn't he have a chance?"

"What do you know!" Du Linxiang said. "Mayor Lu still have a chance?" Zhou Yuru asked again. Du Linxiang said: "Things outside are very complicated, and I can't tell you clearly in one or two sentences. You don't have to waste your brain thinking about these things." In fact, Du Linxiang also has no idea of ​​the truth behind the incident.However, Du Linxiang believed that there must be some kind of force behind the sudden appearance of so many posts on the Internet. Du Linxiang once heard a story told by Wan Shunlong.When Wan Shunlong was still in the officialdom, he was sent to the county as the deputy secretary.The secretary and county magistrate of that county had deep conflicts.In order to overthrow the secretary, the county magistrate wrote many letters of complaint to the Discipline Inspection Commission, but the secretary remained motionless.Later, the secretary's counterattack was very interesting. He asked people to keep writing letters to the organization department, saying that the county magistrate is a rare talent, and he hoped that the organization would make an exception for the promotion of such cadres.After half a year, the county magistrate was transferred back to the city and became the deputy secretary-general of the city government in name only.

"This trick is called flattery." Wan Shunlong said at the time, "Nowadays, the leaders are accustomed to the following complaint letters. But if there is a sudden public opinion to praise a certain cadre, the leader will be highly vigilant and even think that What are the articles here?" Reminiscent of the current situation, Du Linxiang couldn't help laughing, if this was done by Ni Mingfeng's men, I'm afraid it would only be a disservice in the end.If Lu Youshun secretly instigated it, it would be a wonderful move.Du Linxiang didn't know the joints in his heart. China's power and tactics are really extensive and profound. He is just a businessman, so he can only see the flowers in the fog.

The final development of the incident is also full of irony.Since Ni Mingfeng became a "good secretary" praised by everyone on the Internet, various media have become interested in him.A newspaper in Guangzhou sent a reporter to Hezhou for several days to interview. In the final report, they questioned many of Ni Mingfeng's so-called political achievements. I don't know how these online posts and news reports have affected Ni Mingfeng's official career. Anyway, in the end, Lu Youshun, who had a low voice, successfully counterattacked.At the end of the year, Lu Youshun was officially appointed as the acting mayor of Hezhou City at the meeting of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.This promotion means something unusual to Lu Youshun.Hezhou is a sub-provincial city, so Lu Youshun became a veritable sub-provincial cadre and stood on a higher platform.

Seeing that the myth of Ni Mingfeng's "star official" was shattered, Du Linxiang discovered that in the Internet age, it is best not to become the focus of attention.The Internet is no different from a microscope, it can re-discover all the past deeds of a person and "examine" it again.As long as it is a human being, it is inevitable that there will be a hundred secrets and one sparseness, how can it stand such a meticulous "test"! It is naturally a good thing for Du Linxiang that Lu Youshun can be promoted to a higher level.He immediately called Mayor Lu to express his congratulations.At the same time, Du Linxiang also came to a conclusion: People who are now wandering in the political and business circles really need to study cyber warfare!

According to Hezhou Daily, Lu Youshun's inaugural speech was also full of new ideas.He didn't say anything like "the people elected me as the mayor, and I became the people as the mayor", but said: "People often say that a new official has three fires when he takes office, but I, Lu, have limited talents. How can I burn three fires? I prepared three pots of water for myself, one pot is used to water my head to keep my mind clear all the time; the other pot is used to wash my hands and clean my hands. Take; wash your feet with the last basin, let your feet be a little more clean, and run more to the grassroots."

On the second day after taking office, Lu You took the bedding and went down to the poorest village in Hezhou alone to stay in the village.Before leaving, he specifically explained that in the past, cadres went down to the village with a group of followers and reporters, which was simply disturbing the people.So this time, he went alone, without even bringing his secretary, and at the same time, he did not disclose his village location to the media.I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, this way, on the contrary, it aroused greater interest from the outside world. Which village Mayor Lu went to live in, suddenly became a hot topic in the streets and alleys. Of course, Du Linxiang knew where he stayed.Taking advantage of the leader's stay, Du Linxiang invited Lu Youshun's secretary Liu Guangyou out for drinks many times. From Liu Guangyou's mouth, he knew Lu Youshun's whereabouts like the palm of his hand. Many people think that as long as they have established friendship with the big boss, they don't need to pay attention to the small characters below.But Du Linxiang believes that "Bodhisattvas are easy to worship, but little ghosts are hard to deal with", so don't underestimate those seemingly insignificant little characters.With his friendship with Lu Youshun, he really didn't need Liu Guangyou's help any more, but this Liu Guangyou, if he had nothing to do with Lu Youshun's eye drops all day long, that would be enough.In the past few years, he has read a lot of books, and Du Linxiang knows how to draw nutrients from history.He often said that Li Hongzhang was so trusted by Cixi, but he had to make friends with Li Lianying, and never underestimate the influence of the staff around him on the leader. Compared with the unpredictable Lu Youshun, Liu Guang has more friendly contacts.After several drinks, Liu Guangyou directly called Du Linxiang his eldest brother.Liu Guangyou also said that he had just bought a house and was about to renovate it. My eldest brother is very good at construction, and I would like to consult with many questions. When he first debuted, Du Linxiang did do home improvement projects, but he has stopped playing those "pediatrics" in recent years.Of course Du Linxiang understood what Liu Guangyou meant, and he said solemnly: "Brother, the decoration company is hacked. Laymen like you are appointed to be slaughtered. In this way, the eldest brother will help you contact a reliable decoration team, which is guaranteed to be of high quality and low price. " Du Linxiang contacted one of the best decoration companies in Hezhou to carefully decorate Liu Guangyou's new home.Afterwards, Du Linxiang only received a symbolic 20,000 yuan.Liu Guangyou is naturally grateful to his elder brother for his righteousness. After making friends with Liu Guangyou, Du Linxiang quickly tasted the sweetness.It turned out that a week ago, the driver Gao Mingyong came to the door and wanted to ask Du Linxiang for help to transfer the child to another school.Gao Mingyong has worked for Du Linxiang for the past two years and performed well.Especially when dealing with forced demolition incidents, it is very effective. Gao Mingyong wants to transfer his child to another school this semester, to the better Shuren Primary School in Hezhou.Unexpectedly, the principal Lion opened his mouth and said that he would pay a sponsorship fee of 100,000 yuan.Gao Mingyong moved around, and finally found the director of the Hezhou Education Bureau, and wrote a note to the principal.Gao Mingyong happily took the note to school, but the principal read the note and said: "Since it is the director's relationship, let's pay 20,000 less and give 80,000. To be honest, this is the most favorable terms." Gao Mingyong's monthly salary is not much, and 80,000 is not a small amount for him.In desperation, I had no choice but to find Du Linxiang, hoping that my boss with great powers would come forward and help find the leader to clear it up. Du Linxiang felt that since the director of education had approved the note, who would he go to?To startle Lu Youshun for a small sponsorship fee, isn't it making too much noise?Later, I felt that Liu Guangyou could be used now, so I might as well ask him. Liu Guangyou had just received the benefits, so he was naturally very enthusiastic.He said: "If the note of the director of the Education Bureau is only worth 20,000 yuan, then he doesn't need to be the director. The person who untied the bell needs to tie the bell. For this matter, you have to go to the director and ask him to write a new note." Liu Guangyou personally called the director of the Education Bureau, and the director patted his chest on the spot and promised: "I will do my best on this matter. Ask your friend to come to the office to find me, and I will handle it." Soon, the director approved another note.Gao Mingyong took this note and went to school with apprehension.As a result, the principal said readily after seeing the note: "Since the leader has said hello, let's only charge 10,000 yuan. But don't talk about this matter, other parents will have opinions after hearing it." After listening to Gao Mingyong's narration, Du Linxiang was a little puzzled. It is also a note from the same person, so why is there such a big difference? Later, when drinking, Liu Guangyou revealed the secret: the leaders in charge of education in various places had to deal with too many relationships, so they had to make a private agreement with the principals to implement different preferential policies according to different notes.For example, if the note only says "please take care of the principal of XX", the discount rate will be smaller; if you add a sentence "this student's parent is my good friend", the discount rate will be even greater; if you want to write "please Be sure to take care of you” to get the most favorable conditions. Du Linxiang couldn't help sighing that even if he was already worth hundreds of millions, if he really wanted to do something within the system, it would be better than a secretary's phone.It is even more difficult for those parents who rely on relationships for their children to go to school.It is difficult to find the leader to approve the note, and it is even more difficult to find the leader to approve the note!
