Guan Yinda walked through the compound of the prefectural committee, and suddenly heard someone talking behind him: "Secretaries are the easiest to imitate." His ears felt hot all of a sudden, and he didn't dare to turn his head.I don't know who said this?Recently, Tao Fan has just been appointed secretary of the Xizhou prefectural committee, and Guan Yinda has become much more conspicuous when he goes out.He has been secretary with Tao Fan for almost three years, but not many people knew him before. Six years ago, when he was about to be assigned after graduating from university, Professor Wang, the dean of the department, told Guan Yinda that the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee had come to select candidates and had taken a fancy to him.Guan Yinda asked what he was going to do?Professor Wang said that the above needs a pen.Professor Wang didn't mean to sell favors for him, but just told him what to do when he entered the officialdom.Professor Wang said that the most important thing is to get rid of the poetic temperament in you.The higher-ups have taken a fancy to you because you have published works.But people want you to write bureaucratic articles, not poetry.Although Guan Yinda is ignorant, he also knows that entering the officialdom is probably the best way for him.It's just that I don't quite understand that poetry and officialdom are so incompatible.Officials in ancient times could recite poems and compose Fu, which is very elegant.

In the past six years, Guan Yinda has seen a lot.He watched Zhang Zhaolin, secretary-general of the prefectural committee, slowly comb his parted hair into a big back, and became the deputy secretary of the prefectural committee.The deputy secretary-general Wu Mingxian's hair became thinner and thinner, and finally became bald, and he became the secretary-general of the prefectural committee.Wu Ziquan, the former secretary of the prefectural committee, originally had a straight back and a flushed face, but not long after he stepped back, he became hunched over and his hair became pale.What about Guan Yinda himself?He was unlucky for the first few years, and some people called him a nerd behind his back.Ever since I became a secretary with Tao Fan, everything has gone smoothly.But he could no longer be a poet.If it hadn't been mentioned by chance at a class reunion, no one would have thought that this overly mature young man was once a poet.

The secretary is indeed the easiest to imitate!Guan Yinda was not angry when he heard someone talking about the secretary behind his back, but blushed for no reason.It seems that people can see some bad things in him through his back.Although he doesn't think he is bad.He pondered over that sentence later, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became.When you become a secretary, you will have more people around you.There are the heads of the departments, counties and cities below, and the bosses of enterprises.These people stick to you, coax you, and give you some small advantages, but they don't necessarily take you seriously in their hearts.If you are not careful, you get carried away and don't know what your last name is.There is another meaning, he can only think about it in his heart, and must not say it.If he wants to be a secretary, if the leader he follows is a jerk, he will see all the shitty things he sees, and it will be even more difficult to ensure that he does not imitate the bad.It is said that there is a popular saying in the United States: the president is unreliable.Guan Yinda used this sentence, and secretly confessed to himself: Leaders are unreliable.

But these words are at most just Guan Yinda's private humor.Others don't see it that way.There's a strange virus called a personality cult that's in the air all the time.People in the officialdom are easily infected with this virus, and their eyes start to blur, and they have all kinds of strange hallucinations, mistaking their bosses for gods and men.On the third day after Tao Fan became secretary of the prefectural committee, he gave a report at a meeting of cadres above the county level.The title sounds very grand, in the style of Mao Zedong, and it is called "Situation and Prospects".He didn't ask the secretarial team to draft the speech, he just said it casually.After speaking for a full hour and a half, the applause continued.Afterwards, the prefectural committee organized the recording of Tao Fan's speech and published it in the prefectural committee's "Internal Reference".Tao Fan was very good at giving reports, and the cadres directly said that he was the most qualified secretary of the prefectural party committee in Xizhou so far.Unknowingly, the strange virus mentioned above quietly spread in Xizhou official circles.It's just that no one noticed it, and Tao Fan himself didn't care.

In the beginning, there were always some people who would say good things to Guan Yinda when they saw him, unlike Zhang Zhaolin's secretary, Meng Weizhou, who didn't know who he was all day long.Guan Yinda remembers a common saying: People who are not right and wrong don’t listen to right and wrong.He said that Xiao Meng is actually a nice person.Gradually, no one spoke ill of Meng Weizhou in front of him.Guan Yinda is different from others who say that people are right and wrong, which is not only unkind, but will inevitably cause trouble.Besides, the person who said something about Meng Weizhou in front of him, would he turn his head and say Guan Yinda again?As a secretary, there are thousands of pairs of eyes staring at him, and people will always stare at something wrong.Meng Weizhou had just graduated from university, so he ran after Zhang Zhaolin, which inevitably seemed a bit like a wunderkind.Some people can't stand it, and Meng Weizhou has become a young man who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.But in front of Guan Yinda, Meng Weizhou is still very measured, and he must call Brother Guan.After all, Guan Yinda is the secretary of the prefectural committee secretary, while Meng Weizhou is only the secretary of the deputy secretary.

The people in Xizhou said that since last winter, there have been some strange things.It's the end of the twelfth lunar month, and it's still not cold.Young girls are happy and can wear skirts.The old man looked at it and shook his head, saying that the young people nowadays don't understand anything, they only care about playing, and they are still in the dark when they see that the disaster year is coming.When Linan County built a road, Liyang Mountain was dug up innately, and it was closed again overnight.The common people were anxious, saying that the construction of the road had disturbed the dragon veins.A geological team from above was sent to see it, and they said it was a natural phenomenon and nothing special.But there are still some people who don't believe it, insisting that the world will be in chaos.It kept thundering again.Thunder strikes winter, and the bullpen is empty.Donglei is a bad omen, and next year will not be easy.

What the common people care about, the officialdom doesn't care about.The officialdom is becoming more and more numb to climate change. When it is hot, there is air conditioning, and when it is cold, there is heating.The officials are even indifferent to the changes of the seasons. Farmers plant in spring and harvest in autumn, and go about their own work, without the officials needing to worry about it.Then they relax and think about big things. Since the spring of this year, the biggest event in Xizhou's official circles has been the change of the head of the prefectural committee.The common people are concerned about all kinds of ominous omens, but the official circles are concerned about personnel changes.All kinds of mysterious gossip flowed away like water, day and night.Many personnel plans gradually formed in the rumors.Those who like to talk about officialdom and personnel only have officialdom in their minds, but their expressions usually don't care.It's a bit like people talking about TV drama characters, who is more suitable to play Tang Seng, Monkey King can try to change people.It seems that the matter has nothing to do with them, but in fact, they are staring at their connections in the officialdom, hoping that the new officials will have something to do with them, whether they are classmates, fellow villagers, or comrades-in-arms.Even if the new leader only has the same surname as themselves, or they have met themselves by chance, they will be inexplicably excited.

In the end, the mystery was revealed, which was both unexpected and intriguing.Tao Fan was originally the deputy secretary of the party and the masses, and the third in command of the prefectural committee.When Zhang Zhaolin woke up, he became the deputy secretary of the prefectural committee, which was even more surprising.He is the secretary-general of the prefectural committee. Although he is also a member of the leadership team, he directly serves as the deputy secretary of the prefectural committee. There is no precedent in Xizhou.If the secretary-general of the prefectural committee wants to hold an actual position, he usually has to start as a deputy commissioner of the administrative office, and at least until he becomes an executive deputy commissioner before he becomes a member of the prefectural committee again.Therefore, those secretary-generals who follow the normal procedure always feel wronged.

People from Xizhou have a new topic when they talk about officialdom.Officials are well-developed, no one believes that you are capable or have good performance, it must be said that you have someone above you.Everyone knew that Tao Fan and the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee used to be colleagues of the Provincial No. 1 Chemical Factory, but it was not obvious that Tao Fan received any special care.He was transferred to Xizhou two years ago, and some people said that he was appointed by the provincial party committee to succeed him, and he would soon be a commissioner or secretary.But when he sat down in the position of deputy secretary of the prefectural committee, there was no movement.Two years is not a long time, but there are always people who hope that the Xizhou prefectural committee will change its leadership sooner, and maybe it will turn around.These people are in a hurry, two years is too long.Tao Fan himself didn't say anything.He just minds his own business.No one else can pour water into what he should take care of; he will never interfere with what he should not take care of.He didn't talk much, but he said one sentence and counted one sentence.Anyone who wants to get close to him, just say a few more words, will definitely get bored.Some people say that Tao Fan has a golden mouth and jade teeth.This remark has mixed reputations and criticisms: it means that he keeps his word and says what he says;The mouth is flat and the words are round.Tao Fan is now the secretary of the prefectural committee, and people's sayings have changed again: people have skills and temper.

Guan Yinda didn't think Tao Fan was arrogant, he just didn't like to talk too much.It can also be said that Tao Fan is simply a man.Tao Fan seldom greeted his subordinates, and only talked about work when they met.After talking about work, you still want to say a few more warm words, but he looks at you indifferently.You are embarrassed, so you have to say goodbye with a smile.At first, Guan Yinda didn't quite adapt to Tao Fan's character, but he gradually got used to it.If Tao Fan had any orders, he would call Xiaoguan, or he would not call him a word all day long.Guan Yinda had to follow him all the time, fearing that he might not find anyone.Sometimes I don't know whether to follow or not, so I have to ask tentatively, which is very embarrassing.

Later, Tao Fan talked to Guan Yinda a lot.The reason was quite coincidental. One Sunday, Tao Fan was reading documents in the office. Guan Yinda knew he was fine, so he had to stay in the office.Being idle and bored, I took some waste newspapers to practice calligraphy.Guan Yinda has no other hobbies, but likes to write a few wild grasses.At this time, Wu Mingxian also came to the office. Seeing that the door of Guan Yinda's office was open, he came in and said, "Xiao Guan, let's practice calligraphy!" Guan Yinda hurriedly said: "What calligraphy, practice calligraphy, practice calligraphy "Wu Mingxian looked at it for a long time with his head tilted, and said, "Flying dragons and phoenixes." Guan Yinda knew that Wu Mingxian couldn't recognize wild grass, and it was inconvenient for him to read it out smartly, so he laughed.He was afraid that if he talked too much with Wu Mingxian, he would get into trouble.Sure enough, Wu Mingxian took up the posture of leading the conversation, and said: "Xiao Guan, think about how to do a good job of staff and service for Secretary Tao. This is a serious matter. Don't keep thinking about being a calligrapher!" Guan Yin Da scratched his head, not knowing what to say.Suddenly I heard Tao Fan call: "Xiaoguan, let's go." It turned out that it was lunch time.Tao Fan had never entered Guan Yinda's office before, but he opened the door and walked in that day.Guan Yinda panicked and quickly put down the brush.Tao Fan came over, and instead of saying hello to Wu Mingxian, he just looked down at Guan Yinda's words carefully.Guan Yinda was blushing and heart beating, and was at a loss, but Tao Fan's face gradually became brighter, and finally he smiled. "Xiao Guan, your handwriting is very good!" Wu Mingxian also smiled and said: "Not bad, indeed good." Everyone in Xizhou official circles knows that Tao Fan is a master of both calligraphy and painting.But he never wanted to write to others, nor would he inscribe signs.There are always people who are unwilling to give up and ask him to write an inscription for the company or the hotel.He used to be the deputy secretary, so he always said: "You can find Secretary Wu." Wu Ziquan's handwriting is really not flattering, but he still wrote the inscription.Now that Wu Ziquan has retired, the signboard he inscribed should also be taken down.Slowly, all the Wuzi in Xizhou were replaced by Shu Tongti. Since then, on the way to the grassroots, Tao Fan would talk to Guan Yinda about calligraphy when he was happy.Tao Fan no longer had the taste of a prefectural committee secretary, so Guan Yinda was naturally even more modest.Sometimes when the car was halfway through, Tao Fan would stop the car and ask Guan Yinda to sit in the back so that they could talk.This is even less like a leader and a secretary, but more like two fellow calligraphers discussing each other.Tao Fan can tell the history, style, representative figures and anecdotes of various calligraphy schools casually.Guan Yinda had to admire it.Tao Fan would laugh heartily when he mentioned some interesting stories about famous calligraphers.Hearing Tao Fan's laughter, Guan Yinda was even a little moved.Secretary Tao, who is usually so majestic, is actually so kind!Guan Yinda usually only focuses on practicing calligraphy, and has never done anything to trace the source.Since then, he has been looking for calligraphy theory books all over the world.Xizhou is too far away, it's really not easy to find a decent book, but it's hard for Guan Yinda.He crammed into the theory of calligraphy, not because he wanted to show off in front of Tao Fan, but because he was really interested.He knew that if he wanted to talk about calligraphy in front of Tao Fan, he would not be qualified in another ten years.But you have to know as much as possible, so as not to make a fool of yourself. The driver, Liu Ping, was indescribably arrogant just because he had served several prefectural committee secretaries.The chief driver seems to have this temper.At first Liu Ping didn't care too much about Guan Yinda.I don't know who started the rule. The secretary of the prefectural party committee must be picked up by the driver and the secretary when he goes to and from get off work.In fact, the home of the leader of the prefectural committee is not far from the office. It only takes a few minutes to take a shortcut from the mountain and walk through the cobblestone path.Every morning at 7:50, Liu Ping honked the horn vigorously downstairs from Guan Yinda.Guan Yinda came downstairs a little late, and Liu Ping was sullen.Guan Yinda didn't care too much, thinking about the driver, that's all. One morning, after breakfast, Guan Yinda sat in his room and waited for Liu Ping's horn.Seeing that the time was almost up, the horn was not heard.Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and someone shouted, "Chief Guan, are you ready?" Guan Yinda opened the door, and was surprised to see it was Liu Ping. "Is Chief Guan okay?" Liu Ping asked again.He has always been called Guan Yinda Xiaoguan. Guan Yinda said, "Okay, let's go." After getting into the car, Liu Ping said, "Chief Guan, Secretary Tao thinks highly of you." Guan Yinda knew that it was hard to be modest, so he couldn't say that Secretary Tao didn't value him.He said, "Secretary Tao cares about people very much, and treats you well." Liu Ping was simple-minded, and said bluntly: "I have talked to so many secretaries of the prefectural committees, but I am afraid of Secretary Tao. I have followed him for more than two years, and he has never said a few words to me." Guan Yinda laughed and said, "Whether a leader cares about people doesn't depend on how much he talks." Liu Ping hurriedly said, "What Section Chief Guan said is true." Guan Yinda said: "Liu Ping, don't call me section chief, call me Yinda." Liu Ping insisted on calling Section Chief Guan, so he let him go. Gradually, more and more people saw the importance Tao Fan attached to Guan Yinda.They couldn't understand that Tao Fan, who was so strict that he was almost cruel, was very easygoing only with Guan Yinda.Sometimes, Tao Fan was chatting and laughing with Guan Yinda, when the boss came to report work, Tao Fan's face immediately turned cold.People concluded that Guan Yinda had a bright future.Naturally, more people surrounded Guan Yinda. Guan Yinda knew that he became close to Tao Fan because of calligraphy.Like a martial arts master who has mastered some kind of unique secrets, Guan Yinda is secretly proud, but he doesn't want to tell anyone the mystery.Once, Wu Mingxian asked Guan Yinda for advice: "Brother, Secretary Tao always has a good face towards us, but he is so kind to you. I can't figure it out." Guan Yinda knew that this was a dangerous topic, so he quickly joked: "Secretary-General Wu made a joke. Secretary Tao just treats me like a child, and it's okay to laugh or scold me. It's different for your leaders, that's When talking about serious things, naturally you have to be serious." Guan Yinda let Wu Mingxian say what he said, he was just perfunctory.He felt that Wu Mingxian was not young anymore, and he was also the leader of the prefectural committee anyway, so why was he so immature?These words of Wu Mingxian should be swallowed in his stomach, but he said them all, and he asked Tao Fan's secretary to tell them.Guan Yinda thought that fortunately he was not a traitor, otherwise Wu Mingxian would have died. Wu Mingxian tried his best to get close to him, and later gave him a book, written by a Japanese, called "Manipulating the Boss".Guan Yinda only read the title of the book, feeling uncomfortable.I thought that Wu Mingxian might have a wrong mind.He went back and turned a few pages, then lost interest.The book is nothing more than the interpersonal art in the company. The translator made a sensational title and made a scary title.Wu Mingxian probably bought it for the title of the book, thinking that he would get this official book.Guan Yinda stuffed the book under his pillow for a few days before throwing it away. Don't say that Guan Yinda has no desire to manipulate, even if he has that intention, who can manipulate Tao Fan?Tao Fan was born to manipulate others.His tiger spirit is natural.At the beginning, he was only the deputy secretary, but when he sat in the meeting room of the prefectural committee, his demeanor was different.Since he sat on that sofa for the first meeting, no one dared to sit on it again.Once, Guo Da, the deputy secretary in charge of political affairs and law, stepped into the meeting room early and sat down on the sofa without paying attention.Tao Fan came in, holding a teacup, and stood there for a few seconds, Guo Da immediately gave way.Guo Da made a joke, trying to relieve himself of the embarrassment: "I'm sitting on the throne of Secretary Tao." Tao Fan pretended not to hear, and buried himself in organizing the folders in hand. People in officialdom speak in a reserved manner, and when they say someone has a personality, they mostly mean that he has a bad temper.Everyone in Xizhou knew that Zhang Zhaolin was a man of character.He used to be just a secretary-general, and many departments and county and city leaders were afraid of him three points.The cadres below complained that he was more arrogant than the secretary of the prefectural party committee.Complaints are made behind the scenes, but they must be subdued in person.No one can figure out why everyone is afraid of Zhang Zhaolin since he doesn't know how to eat people.The other leaders of the prefectural committee were very polite to Zhang Zhaolin, and they didn't mean to treat him only as the chief executive. Zhang Zhaolin did not have a eunuch in front of the secretaries, as if he was the leader of the prefectural committee.The Secretary-General has done such a majestic job, which has never been seen in the history of Western State.A secret was gradually revealed. It turned out that Zhang Zhaolin and Wu Ziquan were brothers who had known each other for many years.This secret spread the gossip, which didn't seem to make Zhang Zhaolin's image any less, but instead made him more important.Zhang Zhaolin looks very peaceful, as long as he is not really angry, he is always smiling.Some people call him Smiling Tiger behind his back.As the saying goes, one is afraid of a tiger with a smiling face, and eats people without spit out bones.But all things in the world are mutual generation and mutual restraint, Zhang Zhaolin is very respectful in front of Tao Fan.Tao Fan didn't show any special courtesy to Zhang Zhaolin, and his face was still dark. Seeing Tao Fan's instructions for the first time, Zhang Zhaolin said with a smile, "Secretary Tao's handwriting is really beautiful." Tao Fan didn't respond, but said, "Go and do it." Tao Fan just came to Xizhou and lived in a guest house for a few months.There is no house to live in, and it happens that the construction of buildings and museums is prohibited from above.Zhang Zhaolin was very embarrassed, so he asked Tao Fan for instructions.Tao Fan said: "I live in a hostel that is very good. Every day someone changes the quilt, and there are ready-made meals." Zhang Zhaolin figured out what Tao Fan meant, and said, "If we don't build new houses, the cadres will really live in offices. Build them? The prefectural committee can't take the lead." Tao Fan said, "Is there no way to think?" Zhang Zhaolin said: "I reported this to Secretary Wu. Secretary Wu means, let me ask you for instructions." Tao Fan said, "Please tell me what to do? I don't have a house to live in, so I want to build a building?" Zhang Zhaolin hurriedly said: "Secretary Wu means to listen to the opinions of all the secretaries and find a way. The government has not built dormitories for many years, and the housing is extremely tight. But when the prefectural committees start construction, all departments have to follow suit. Everyone builds a dormitory. , the impact will be bad, and it may become a typical example for the whole province." Tao Fan said: "Don't build buildings, let's build bungalows." Zhang Zhaolin smiled and said a joke: "People in the city say that people in the country have nothing to eat, so let's eat noodles." Tao Fan didn't laugh, but said: "I'm not joking with you. The mountain behind the guest house, what are you doing there? How much is the citrus tree on the mountain worth? Build some bungalows on it, and the leaders of the prefectural committee will live there. " Zhang Zhaolin replied: "I'm afraid it is a way. The citrus varieties on the mountain are also aging and need to be improved." "Don't improve it. Cut it all down and plant another one." Tao Fan said. Zhang Zhaolin asked: "Still growing oranges?" Tao Fan said, "Don't expect much from the fruit trees in the yard. Just plant peach trees." "Peach tree?" Zhang Zhaolin was a little surprised. Tao Fan said: "It's best to watch the peaches, don't expect them to produce peaches." Zhang Zhaolin was still wondering, Tao Fan said again: "The leaders of the prefectural committee don't have a house to live in, so it's not too much to build a bungalow on the mountain." In just two or three months, about twenty bungalows were built.All the citrus trees all over the mountain were cut down, and peach trees were planted instead.The hilltops are much clearer, adding some picturesque atmosphere.The bungalows are scattered and spread out due to the mountain situation. Although the layout is the same, it does not appear monotonous. In the year Tao Fan took office as the secretary of the prefectural committee, nothing major happened in Xizhou.These days, it always looks like something will happen, but it is still peaceful after all.Because of those strange omens, the people of Xizhou are worrying in vain.
