Chapter 31 Chapter Thirty-One

After going up Taoling, winding along the path, we arrived at the quiet courtyard.The door is closed, as if no one has lived in it for a long time.Every time Guan Yinda went to his father-in-law's house, he felt that it was too deserted.Tao Tao said: "Tongtong, call grandpa and grandma." Tongtong then shouted: "Grandpa, grandma!" The door opened, and grandma was all smiles. "Where's Dad?" Tao Tao asked.Mom said: "Father is asleep." Tao Tao told Tongtong to keep his voice down and not to disturb grandpa.There are shade trees in the courtyard, and there are small benches under them.The young and old sat outside and talked.

Tao Tao's mother said: "His grandfather always tends to fall asleep recently. He gets sleepy when he can't read half a page of a newspaper. He can't sleep well at night. He is old." The old man sighed as he spoke.Tao Tao hurriedly said: "It's okay, Dad is in good health. Sleep when you want to sleep, exercise when you want to move, don't force him." Mom shook her head: "Your father has a stubborn temper and doesn't listen to half of my words. I want him I go down the mountain every day to play with the old man. He just refuses to go. At most, I can practice Tai Chi in the morning and write two characters. The rest of the time, I spend time watching newspapers and TV.”

Tao Tao comforted her mother: "Mom, don't worry. Dad is so quiet, let him go." Mom smiled and said, "I saw him having breakfast one day. I just hugged the book and read it. I was angry with him, so I teased him. I said Lao Tao, I have some good news for you. Your father listened carefully and asked what good news? I said, if you study hard, there will be surprises. Your father asked again, what surprises? I said, I heard that the emperor wants to I'm recruiting a son-in-law." Tao Tao laughed and burst into tears, and asked her father's reaction.While joking, Tao Fan came out.

Tao Tao looked at his father, still laughing non-stop.Tao Fan patted Tong Tong on the head, and asked: "Tell grandpa. What are they laughing at?" Tong Tong mischievously said, "Grandma said, grandpa recruited a son-in-law." Tao Fan just smiled, very kindly.Guan Yinda got up early, moved a stool, asked Tao Fan to sit down, and asked, "How is Dad?" "Good," Tao Fan said. Tao Tao and his mother talked about homework, while Tao Fan and Guan Yinda just listened.Tongtong sat for a while, feeling very bored, so he went in to watch TV, saying that there would be cartoons at the moment.Tao Tao said: "What's wrong with everything, I'm almost in high school, and I still like watching cartoons so much."

Guan Yinda said: "The child is working too hard, let him relax." Tao Fan remained silent, looking at the floating clouds in the sky.His expression was indifferent, and his eyes were a little empty.Perhaps only Guan Yinda knows that Tao Fan is actually very lonely in his heart.Guan Yinda never pointed out this layer, he never told Tao Tao, lest she be sad.Most retired veteran cadres spend their leisure time in the veteran cadre activity center.There you can play croquet, play mahjong, drink tea and chat.But Tao Fan had never been there.When he was the secretary of the local party committee, veteran cadres repeatedly suggested that the old cadre activity center should be built.

Tao Fan disagreed, saying that the finances were too difficult, so we should wait for a few years.After he retired, Zhang Zhaolin built the Laogan Activity Center.The more the veteran cadres are enjoying themselves now, the more they denounce Tao Fan for being unenlightened.They said that if the activity center had been built earlier, we old guys would have lived a few more years.Tao Fan had a very good political reputation back then, but people's evaluation of him gradually changed later. What Guan Yinda can hear is very helpless, so there must be many more terrible things that he can't hear.People call the ten years when Tao Fan was in power the Tao Fan Era.Some cadres were very angry, saying that during Tao Fan's time, there were no people in Xizhou.When they talk about people, they specifically refer to big figures, such as Zhang Zhaolin, Song Qiushan, Zhou Yifo and other big cadres.It is said that Tao Fan can't go up by himself, and he won't let others go up.Said that if Tao Fan was to be promoted to a cadre, it would be like cutting his flesh.This one is immature, that one is too immature, Tao Fan alone can do it.Unlike Zhang Zhaolin and the others, they are willing to use cadres, show loyalty, and are enough friends.It seems that he, Tao Fan, is the only one who is honest and honest, and no one else can be trusted.what's the result?Now Zhang Zhaolin, Song Qiushan, and Zhou Yifo are sitting on the rostrum and confessing, while Tao Fan is squatting at home and dozing off!

It was almost dusk, and Tao Tao helped her mother make dinner.Tao Fan got up and searched around.Guan Yinda asked, "Dad, what do you want?" Tao Fan said, "I want to prune flowers and trees." "Here are the scissors. Let me get them." Guan Yinda brought the scissors.Tao Fan said: "There are two pairs of scissors, let's make them together." The two got together and trimmed the bonsai. Tao Fan unintentionally reveals his trust, need or dependence on his son-in-law.Guan Yinda has seen this for a long time, he feels very warm, but he can't express his sadness.Tao Fan was slightly out of breath, showing a look of powerlessness.Guan Yinda couldn't remind Tao Fan too much to take care of his health, he knew that his father-in-law was unwilling to submit to old age.Tao Fan said: "Xiang Tianfu came to see me yesterday." "Oh? Xiang Tianfu is a good person." Guan Yinda responded.

Xiang Tianfu is the secretary of the county party committee and the deputy county magistrate proposed by Tao Fan.Xiang Tianfu and Guan Yinda have always had a good personal relationship, so they often visit Tao Fan.Tao Fan seemed to talk about it casually, but he was actually very happy in his heart.Hardly anyone visits him now. "Does Shu Peide still have contact with you?" Tao Fan asked casually.Guan Yinda said: "It's not a relationship, it's just that he sometimes visits my house." Tao Fan said: "He is a smart man, and his business is getting bigger and bigger. But he prefers to get involved in politics, which I don't like. He has been a member of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference for more than ten years, and he doesn't mind it!" Guan Yinda said: "Do It’s easier to do business with a red hat. Without your support back then, I’m afraid the business wouldn’t be as big as it is.” Tao Fan said, “I don’t have any specific support either. Most likely he himself used the tiger skin as a banner.”

Guan Yinda sighed: "Some people sarcastically say that China's economics is the real political economy. Because politics and economics are too close together. You just inscribed the signboard for Shu Peide's Tuyuan company, and his business prospered." Yes. He can become the number one private entrepreneur in Xizhou and a member of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference. It should be said that he can help you. A signboard can have such a magical effect, which can only happen in China." Tao Fan said: "You all know what happened. My intention at that time was only to promote the development of private enterprises." That's a big article." Tao Fan's face darkened, and he stopped talking.He didn't want to tell the truth, it was boring.Tao Fan didn't care much about the lively events in Xizhou recently.Guan Yinda seemed to have never heard Tao Fan mention Meng Weizhou's name.At the time of Tao Fan's local party secretary, Meng Weizhou had just graduated from university and ran around with Zhang Zhaolin, foolishly ignorant of anything.If Tao Fan pretended to be Meng Weizhou in his heart, it would be a bit ridiculous.

Guan Yinda never mentioned Meng Weizhou to Tao Fan to avoid embarrassment. "Yinda, I've been a bit of a believer in fatalism lately." Tao Fan stopped suddenly and said without thinking.Guan Yinda asked, "Why?" Tao Fan said, "Maybe it's because I'm old. I recalled many things that I experienced, which seemed accidental, but in fact they were inevitable. When I was a cadre, I vaguely felt that some people Not quite right, I stick to you if I want to climb up. But I thought again, I am appointing cadres for the country, not cultivating students for myself, so I let go of these thoughts. Later, it really confirmed my feeling at the time. Some people, the quality is No way." Guan Yinda interjected, "There are more than a hundred people, of all kinds."

Tao Fan went on to say: "Now that I think about it, it seems that there is a mysterious omen in everything I do. For another example, when you participated in the calligraphy competition held by the prefectural committee, you wrote the first Ci of Zhang Xiaoxiang, "Niannujiao·Dongting Qingcao". I just wondered why the young man chose this poem? This is a complaint about demoted officials! Zhang Xiaoxiang is pretending to be broad-minded, but in fact he is full of hardships. Later, you didn’t go well, and you were transferred here and there in the county for many years. It’s about the same as the relegation of officials. I just remembered this, and I thought that maybe there is something that dominates human beings in the dark?” Guan Yinda smiled and said, "Aren't I very good now? I'm doing my job well, and I'm worthy of my conscience. I don't have any other ambitions. After all, it's just to make a living." Tao Fan nodded and said : "It's better to be lighter. But life is a piece of paper. Once you pierce it, it means nothing. What you eat is the state salary, so you have to do things for the common people. What is a career? Now these people only put money on their heads The official hat is regarded as a career." Guan Yinda did not expect Tao Fan to say these words today.The old man has retired for many years, and has never heard anything outside the window.Perhaps the older a person is, the lonelier he feels in his heart, and many things from the past come to him.Mom called for dinner.Weng and his son-in-law washed their hands and went back to the house. Tao Fan drank a glass of rice wine with every meal, and Guan Yinda also drank a glass with him.Tao Tao has said many times that she wants to hire a nanny to take care of her parents, but the old man just refuses.After Tao Fan retired, he just wanted to be quiet, so he quit all the nannies.After dinner, after sitting down for a while, Tao Tao said that he was going back.Every time she wanted to talk to the old man more, but she could learn everything, so she had to leave early. After leaving the small courtyard, Guan Yinda said, "Let's take the main road." He guessed that if he took the small road, he might come down the mountain to visit the pier.It's not good to meet all acquaintances. Those who are lucky enough to sit on the chair of the Finance Bureau are either the close buddies of the municipal party secretary or the mayor's favorites.Wang Hongliang is the brother of acting mayor Wan Mingshan, and everyone in Xizhou knows it well. Meng Weizhou thought, since Wang Hongliang wanted to go to the securities company, he naturally discussed it with Wan Mingshan first.He might as well be a favor.Besides, Wang Hongliang usually walks around in front of Meng Weizhou, so he is considered a smart person. It was a critical period recently, and Meng Weizhou wanted to have a tacit understanding with Wan Mingshan as much as possible.Since Wan Mingshan came back from studying at the Provincial Party School for half a year last time, he often likes to use a word: dynamic balance.Probably what he heard from a professor.In Wanmingshan's knowledge system, the so-called dynamic balance may be the highest component.His relationship with Meng Weizhou is a kind of dynamic balance.He listened to Meng Weizhou most of the time, and sometimes challenged him secretly.He has many devoted brothers under him, but he often asks his brothers to contact Meng Weizhou more often.He knows which positions he can arrange, and which positions are up to Meng Weizhou. Meng Wei, the head of Wanming Mountain, was ten years old, and he had been the secretary of the county party committee for twelve years.For a person with his qualifications, it is already very good to be able to live with Meng Weizhou's face.Some cadres in Xizhou were grateful to Zhang Zhaolin, Song Qiushan, and Zhou Yifo. They appointed cadres liberally and promoted many people.Meng Weizhou was reused by Zhang Zhaolin, but Wanming Mountain was cultivated by Song Qiushan. However, when it was in Meng Weizhou's hands, it was difficult to hold it.If he uses cadres like the three former secretaries, Xizhou cadres will have to be exported abroad.Domestic sales will definitely not work, because local cadres are wanted everywhere, and resources are limited.Employing cadres is like raising wages. It is considered a rigid expenditure, which can only be increased but not decreased, and the necessary increase must be guaranteed.In the Tao Fan era, wages rose slowly, and cadres were promoted even more slowly.Meng Weizhou felt embarrassed, afraid that he was still in office, and people would compare him with Tao Fan. He has been under more pressure recently, after all, there are too many monks and too little food.Wang Hongliang wanted to go to a securities company, which inadvertently gave Meng Weizhou a new inspiration.He wanted to simply send some cadres to enterprises to take temporary positions, which could temporarily alleviate the conflict of employment.But just sending cadres to enterprises in this city cannot make the significance of this move great.It is best to also send some cadres to large enterprises inside and outside the province.This has to rely on the coordination of the provincial party committee. Meng Weizhou thought for two days before calling Zhang Zhaolin without discussing with other leaders of the municipal party committee.Zhang Zhaolin appreciated Meng Weizhou's idea very much, saying that it is necessary to send party and government cadres to enterprises for temporary training. This is a new idea for the construction of cadres in the new era, and the provincial party committee expressed support. "You need to send cadres to which enterprises in or outside the province, I will be responsible for acting." Zhang Zhaolin is very supportive of his favorite student.After talking on the phone, before Meng Weizhou had time to discuss with Wan Mingshan, Zhang Zhaolin called again, saying that he had studied it with the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and decided to send cadres from Xizhou to enterprises to take part-time training as a provincial pilot.Meng Weizhou was even more excited when he heard this, and understood that it was Zhang Zhaolin's intention to cultivate him. Meng Weizhou got the Shangfang Sword, so he went to Wanmingshan to discuss it, but he didn't say that he had reported it to Zhang Zhaolin, and he didn't say that the province was planning to take Xizhou as a pilot.He plans to talk about it in a few days.Wan Mingshan was very shrewd at first, he immediately understood Meng Weizhou's intentions, secretly admired him: this man is young, and his skills are mature, he will become a master.But he didn't point it out, just said solemnly: "Secretary Meng's proposal is very good, and I agree. Among the party and government cadres, there are not many comrades who really understand economic work, and they are not suitable for the new situation of developing a market economy. I suggest that the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee Draw up a plan. The comrades to be sent must be set according to the criteria. The Organization Department will make a preliminary list and ask Secretary Meng to look it over before handing it over to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee for study. If necessary, I can also have a look first. My opinion is this Things need to be done quickly.” After hearing this, Meng Weizhou knew that Wan Mingshan must have guessed what he meant.He thought that Wan Mingshan proposed to look at the list first, and obviously wanted to use this move to make a fuss.Then this article will be done by two people together. Naturally, Meng Weizhou didn't talk bluntly, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll greet the organization department. We will check the personnel sent out first. Comrade Wang Hongliang wants to take a second job in a securities company, I think he can consider it." Wan Mingshan said: "I agree with Secretary Meng's opinion. Comrade Wang Hongliang has also reported this matter to me." This time the work efficiency of the organization department was very high. "Decision on Temporary Training (Draft)" came out.The Minister of Organization personally sent the draft to Meng Weizhou's desk.Meng Weizhou changed the word "Xia" in the title to "Dao" when he picked up a pen, and commented: The word "Xia" shows that the ideological concept of our cadres has not been completely changed.We can no longer stand high and think that going to the enterprise means "going down".On the contrary, enterprises stand at the forefront of the market economy, and there are many things worthy of our serious study.Sending cadres to enterprises to take temporary positions means to train and become students.This is not only an important measure for us to train cadres, but also an important way to strengthen the construction of cadres' work style. Meng Weizhou didn't care much about the text, he only glanced at it roughly, and then turned it over.He has never been a Chinese teacher for the materials team, and only provides principled opinions when reviewing documents.I also wrote materials back then, and I knew that it would be ridiculous for the leader to revise the article word by word.What he cares about is the selection list attached later.Some of the people on the list are known to him, and some are just symbols.Some of the people he knew felt particularly good, so he commented at the back of the list: It is recommended to change someone. Meng Weizhou's final instructions: Please send it to Comrade Mingshan for reading, and submit it to the Municipal Standing Committee meeting for study.Looking back at those few instructions about the word "down", Meng Weizhou was secretly proud of himself.It's a pity that this pride cannot be shared with others, it is the beauty that is hard to tell you!Meng Weizhou suddenly thought of Guan Yinda. Many years ago, Guan Yinda participated in the calligraphy competition of the prefectural committee. What he wrote was a poem by Zhang Xiaoxiang.Guan Yinda stole the limelight that time.At that time, Meng Weizhou only hated his poor handwriting. He was also the secretary of the prefectural committee leader, so he felt ashamed.But he memorized a sentence in the words: the beauty is hard to tell the king.Now that Meng Weizhou thought about it, with Guan Yinda's literary talent, ability and personality, he could have made great achievements, but he was so lonely.As Napoleon said, the battle situation changes rapidly.The same is true of the political situation. Zhang Zhaolin was originally reused by Tao Fan, but the relationship between the two gradually became complicated.Everyone knows that Tao and Zhang are very subtle, but no one can tell why.Because Guan Yinda is Tao Fan's son-in-law, he can never get up in Xizhou again. Meng Weizhou actually admires Guan Yinda very much, but he has no choice but to go his own way, and he can't take care of him.After Meng Weizhou became the secretary of the prefectural party committee, he went to visit Tao Fan the first night.Tao Fan was enthusiastic in his words, straightly saying that Xiao Meng is good, and the future of young people is limitless. Meng Weizhou tried his best to be modest, and asked the old secretary to give more opinions and support the work.Tao Fan just laughed, saying that he had retired for many years, his concepts were outdated, his knowledge was outdated, and he couldn't adapt to the new situation.Meng Weizhou went out politely, while Tao Fan enthusiastically bowed behind him.As the night wind blew, Meng Weizhou couldn't help shivering.He realized that Tao Fan looked enthusiastic, but he was actually cold.The cadres sent to the enterprises were quickly in place. At this time, the Xizhou Municipal Party Committee received a document from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and formally decided to conduct a pilot project in Xizhou, sending cadres from party and government agencies to work in enterprises.Meng Weizhou took a pen and signed the document: I have read it.The Provincial Party Committee attaches great importance to this work, and suggested that the Municipal Party Committee study it again carefully and formulate a detailed plan on the purpose, main tasks, assessment methods, etc.Send to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee for reading.After signing the opinions, Meng Weizhou called Wan Mingshan and gave an overview of the opinions of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. Wan Mingshan felt hot all over and felt very uncomfortable.But he kept humming, and deliberately added a little laughter, showing a very happy look.I thought to myself that Mr. Meng was too smart, and all things were taken to the province, so he didn't speak a word to him.Wan Mingshan couldn't say anything, so he had to pretend that nothing happened. At night, Xiang Tianfu suddenly ran to Guan Yinda's house.The two exchanged a few words in the living room, then called Tianfu back to Tao Tao and said, "Xiao Tao, I'm going to talk with Yinda in the study, do you have any objections?" Tao Tao laughed and said, "I'm still afraid that you guys are gay? I’m afraid you’re not that avant-garde.” Xiang Tianfu said, “You’re still avant-garde. Both Yinda and I have become the most outdated cadres in Xizhou.” After entering the study, Xiang Tianfu’s face turned green, and he said: “ Yinda, the fucking Wan Mingshan has started to punish me. You know, he has an old grudge with me. I have something to talk to, so I want to talk to you." Guan Yinda asked, "How did he punish you?" Xiang Tianfu said, "I'm going to study at the party school." "How long?" "Half a year."Among the heads of counties, cities and departments in Xizhou, Guan Yinda and Xiang Tianfu are the oldest, but very young.Both belong to the characters of Tao Fan's era.If someone wants to play tricks on the Xizhou city team issue, only the two of them have the most energy. Guan Yinda is notoriously indifferent, no one will guard against him anymore.But Xiang Tianfu is still very arrogant, and they did a good job in the county.No matter which job in the city is evaluated as advanced, there is always their county's share. It is said that Wanmingshan did not want Xiang Tianfu to show off too much, and several times instructed the relevant departments not to judge their advanced county.But Xiang Tianfu went to the city to pat the tables, and recited the city's evaluation criteria one by one.Guan Yinda didn't want to say much, just asked: "Have you ever looked for Meng Weizhou?" Xiang Tianfu said: "It's useless to look for Mr. Meng! I am not brothers with him! He and Wanmingshan are fighting and dragging each other now. Use. In Wanmingshan’s words, it’s dynamic balance.” Guan Yinda smiled and said, “Wanmingshan is famous for its dynamic balance.” Xiang Tianfu said angrily: "With the few drops of ink in Wanmingshan's stomach, I can go to the party school to study for half a year, and I can remember a dynamic balance, which is considered good. Some people say that studying in the party school is just study, study, and rest. , Get in touch. The party school is really a good invention, it can be used to train cadres, it can be used to form cliques, and it can also be used to punish people.” Guan Yinda said: "I recently heard an interesting joke. The school motto of the party schools at all levels is to seek truth from facts, and they all put these words at the entrance. Isn't our provincial party school like this? A big rock , It’s like a screen wall. After entering the door, you have to bypass this screen wall. The teaching building is just behind the screen wall. Some people say that when leading cadres enter the party school, they walk in the face of seeking truth from facts, bypass seeking truth from facts, and learn from facts behind their backs. , leave the work of seeking truth from facts.” Xiang Tianfu was very upset at first, but couldn't help laughing, and said: "This joke is very classic, and it clearly explained the problems existing among our cadres." Guan Yinda asked: "What are you going to do?" " Xiang Tianfu shook his head and said, "I'm at a loss." Guan Yinda said, "Originally, I can talk about Meng Weizhou's place. It doesn't matter whether he is useful or not. But I think about it carefully, and I can't say. They said Maybe they are very taboo against us. If I speak out, they will pretend that we are a power. This way, it will be even more unfavorable to you. Besides, the chicken belly does not know the duck belly, God knows what Meng Weizhou thinks? " Xiang Tianfu nodded and said: "Yinda, what you said makes sense. Well, if Wan Mingshan insists on going to hell, I will let him look good. I am still a representative of the National People's Congress, so I must be allowed to participate in the National People's Congress." Guan Yinda persuaded: "Tianfu, you should bear it." Xiang Tianfu said, "We won't talk about this, we won't talk about this. You don't have any ideas?" Guan Yinda said: "I have no idea for a long time. As the saying goes, what is in life must be what it is, and there is nothing to force it. I watched Meng Weizhou go to work, and he followed my ass all day long. Brother Guan. At that time, he was very immature, and he talked nonsense. Who would have thought that he would become the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee? Now you see, when he saw me, he made a haha ​​first, shouted old Guan, and kept his mouth shut. It's tight." Xiang Tianfu sarcastically said: "The municipal party committee made another wise decision, and decided to send some cadres to the company for temporary training. The time is exactly half a year. I don't know who came up with the brilliant idea?" They can’t think of such a high-level idea. If they haven’t reached that level, their thinking will not reach such a high level. I think this is not Meng Weizhou’s idea, but Wan Mingshan’s idea.” Xiang Tianfu hated Wan Mingshan, so he said: "Wan Mingshan is not that smart." "Then it is Meng Weizhou's idea in all likelihood. You are indeed Zhang Zhaolin's disciple!" Guan Yinda sighed, "I am in a dilemma. One of my deputy directors is on the list. Our place is full of nails and holes, and it is not appropriate to pick anyone out. The key point is that no one wants to go.” “If I am not the head of the county party committee, they will send me to the enterprise Take a job to exercise." Xiang Tianfu smiled coldly.Guan Yinda said: "I looked at the list, Wang Hongliang was the only one who went outside the province, two people went to companies in other prefectures and cities in the province, and the rest were all companies in the city. I heard that Wang Hongliang really wanted to go to sea, forget it, The securities company invited him with a high salary." "Wang Hongliang, who is he? Isn't he the brother of Wanmingshan?" Xiang Tianfu was very disdainful.Guan Yinda said: "This story has been widely circulated, and it is said that the boss of the securities company is a very good classmate of Wang Hongliang. Now there are circles everywhere, nothing more than circles of classmates, fellow villagers, comrades-in-arms, and brother circles. Political circles, It’s the same for all enterprises. The strange thing is that since Wang Hongliang wants to leave, the municipal party committee still can’t get rid of his position as bureau chief.” Xiang Tianfu said, “Isn’t this a very clear thing? Going to an enterprise is risky after all, so he will work for half a year first. But the outside world knows that Wang Hongliang has made up his mind to go, so he must go to the compound. If you spend half a year fishing, some people will make a lot of money every day." Guan Yinda thought about it, and said: "I'm afraid it's the truth. Wang Hongliang There is no need to give gifts to anyone, and they will reserve his position. After half a year, there will be a play to watch." Xiang Tianfu let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "They talk so high-soundingly, but they actually want to send some cadres out to make room for their cronies. When it comes to a certain unit, it will become a means of punishing people. Whoever the leader is dissatisfied with , and suggested that the Municipal Party Committee send him to the enterprise as an outstanding young and middle-aged cadre. Some people don’t understand, and they will be complacent, thinking that the organization finally knows people with discerning eyes.” Guan Yinda said: "In fairness, it is also necessary to send cadres to the company to see it. The problem is that the city happened to introduce this move at a special time, so it is intriguing. If the motive is not pure in the first place, the words are too good to be true. How serious is it? It’s a child’s play to implement it.” Xiang Tianfu said: “It was a child’s play, but the province took it seriously. The prefectural committee forwarded the document from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, saying that the province was conducting a pilot project in Xizhou and sending cadres to the enterprise Temporary training. In fact, those people in the province all came up from the bottom, so they may not know the routines of the bottom. It’s just a tacit understanding between the top and bottom, let’s play together.” “Many things in the officialdom are like this, everyone Knowing it's fake, but doing it seriously." Guan Yinda sighed, "No one has dared to point it out, and whoever points it out has a political problem. This is the so-called serious formality and going through the motions in a down-to-earth manner. I said that all cadres should be recommended to read an article every day. New Clothes." Xiang Tianfu said: "This is the problem. We are the leaders below, and we feel the deepest. Some things arranged by the superiors, we know that they are meaningless, but we must follow the requirements of the superiors, and we have to make great sense. , making everyone look like idiots." Guan Yinda laughed and said, "Today when I went to the Municipal Party Committee, I met an acquaintance from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. What do you think he came for? He came here to summarize the advanced experience of the cadres in the enterprise. The cadres haven't left yet. Those who sum up experience will come." Xiang Tianfu said: "Some people criticize officials for giving numbers, and figures for officials, but no one criticizes officials for experience, experience for officials. Officials for experience, experience for officials, the harm is still great." Guan Yinda nodded and said: "You've hit the point. Some people like to rack their brains to come up with some new routines, regardless of whether it's practical or not, even if it's far-fetched, at least they have to come up with an experience. Let's think about it later. , Some so-called experience was blown to the sky at the beginning, and everyone followed suit. How effective is it? A lot of it is a waste of people and money! But no one has calculated this account. " Xiang Tianfu said: "Who dares to settle this account? The person who created the experience has reached the sky in one step, and he is in charge of you. How dare you say no? Now think about the advanced methods created by Zhang Zhaolin at the beginning, no A joke?" Guan Yinda said: "Everyone has seen the benefits of gaining experience from an official, and the sweetness of gaining an official through experience, so they scramble to create experience. Why does the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee pay so much attention to it? Isn't it just to create an experience first in the whole country? As long as there is a pen, there will always be experience." Xiang Tianfu also just wanted to find a confidant to talk to, nothing else.The two chatted and talked about Tao Fan again.Guan Yinda said: "The old man is still as calm as water, and his ears are clean. He doesn't even bother to listen to political affairs." Xiang Tianfu looked very emotional, and said: "It's okay not to listen, it's okay not to listen. Secretary Tao had such a high prestige back then. Now, when someone talks about the so-called Tao Fan era, it is in a tone of reckoning. Yinda, You can't hear some words." Guan Yinda didn't want to know what others said, but just smiled faintly.But Xiang Tianfu said: "Someone talked about Mr. Tao, and it was all mistakes. Mountain development equals deforestation, township enterprises equals environmental pollution, and courtyard economy equals the concept of small farmers." Guan Yinda couldn't help but said: "They talk about it, can they tell the old man's personal problems?" He is a man. But people say he is prudish. If he does not show respect, people say he is impersonal and unjust." Guan Yinda's tone was a little sad: "It's only been a long time, it's like a different dynasty." Xiang Tianfu said: "Hearing other people talk about Mr. Tao, I thought that history is really unreliable. Some people say that Mr. Tao has been in charge of Xizhou for so many years, and the only thing he can praise is to transform the guest house into a hotel. But others say, Mr. Tao was still conservative after all, and he didn’t get it right. Now Taoyuan Hotel is the worst prefecture-level hotel in the province. Those who said these words just didn’t respect history. At that time, there was no hotel in any city in the whole province. Realizing the importance of improving the reception conditions, he proposed to renovate the guest house. Old Secretary Tao was punished for this.” Guan Yinda laughed and said: "It's really funny. He has been in charge of Xizhou for ten years. In the end, people only remember him as one thing, the renovation of the guest house. What is this?" Xiang Tianfu said: "Yinda, ordinary people still look at it In the eyes. At that time, many people knew that Secretary Tao cared about Shu Peide, but no one dared to say that there was any problem between them. Now Shu Peide's Tuyuan company has grown even bigger, and it is not only Mr. Meng who associates with him , Wanmingshan, Zhang Zhaolin and him are brothers. What do people say? They say that all the high-ranking officials who have contacts with Shu Peide are not clean!" Guan Yinda smiled and said: "It's strange, Shu Peide often comes to my house, and every time he brings a bag of tea, or a few catties of fruit. Why don't you see him give me a big pile of money? Did you see me?" Use value." Xiang Tianfu said: "Yinda, just to explain one thing, you are a decent person. Shu Peide is very smart, he knows what songs to sing in which mountains. He dares to give money to others, but he dare not give money to you. Money. You are his old friend, although it seems that you don't need it now, but life is like a play, who can tell what will happen to you in the future?" Guan Yinda shook his head and said, "That's it for me. I fly a kite under the bed, no matter how tall I am, I can't get much higher. But it's hard for Shu Peide, he has so many relationships to deal with, it's hard enough." Xiang Tianfu Suddenly he whispered: "Yinda, Shu Peide is not in trouble! No matter whether he evades taxes, runs an illegal business or anything else, as long as he makes a mistake, some people will not be able to sleep." Guan Yinda laughed and said: "Some people are so proud of their spring breeze that they raise their heads to the sky. In fact, I always think that it would be nice for those people to die well in this life. Why are you crazy?" Seeing that it was getting late, Xiang Tianfu got up and said "I'm leaving. Yinda, you have to stand up at the critical moment." Guan Yinda didn't know what he meant to Tianfu, so he nodded vaguely.After Xiang Tianfu left, Tao Tao asked, "What's the secret, the two of you have to talk about it behind closed doors?" Guan Yinda gave a general idea.Tao Tao said: "Rich Xiangtian is not bad, but he needs some self-cultivation. If you talk too much with him, I'm afraid it's not good." Guan Yinda said, "I'm not a talkative person. Xiang Tianfu is actually a man. There are principles in everything we do, and we will not mess around. We have been dating for many years, and I know him well."
