Chapter 19 Chapter Nineteen

After Zhang Zicheng committed suicide, the entire Longshui political circle became strange.Anyone with a little common sense knows that someone must be responsible for the press conference where the Longshui County government concealed the truth.The county magistrate, Lin Zhifeng, hadn't shown up at various meetings in Longshui County for a long time. It was said publicly that he was going to the Provincial Party School to study, but in private, people had a lot of guesses, among which Lin Zhifeng was the most guessed It has been controlled by the public security organs. Half a month later, Chuxi City Party Secretary Long Xiaoyi, Mayor Cai Peng, Organization Director Hu Jianshe and others came to Longshui County together, and had a group talk with all Longshui County Party Standing Committee members who were at home.Long Xiaoyi spoke, to the effect that he hoped that the comrades in Longshui County would not carry too much burden.In the fight against Lorna, the cadres and masses in Longshui County are generally good, and the Longshui County Party Committee has combat effectiveness.When you have a problem, you must dare to face it squarely, solve it, and get out of the shadows.

Cai Peng also delivered a speech, much the same as Long Xiaoyi's speech.The difference is that Cai Peng finally said that for the explosion in the sulfuric acid workshop of Guangyuan Company, of course there must be a question of accountability, and comrades must be mentally prepared.Some comrades should assume leadership responsibilities.Some people may be directly responsible, or even criminally responsible.When the Communist Party handles affairs, it must be conscientious. It must be rewarded for meritorious deeds and punished for demerits. This is the spirit of being responsible to the people.

Chen Mo listened to the two of them quietly, and couldn't help being a little surprised.Based on what Long Xiaoyi has done since he took office, Chen Mo has always thought that he is a very strong person, but what he said today is very principled.Cai Peng, on the other hand, seemed tougher.From Cai Peng's speech, Chen Mo sensitively captured a message, that is, accountability will start soon or even already started.After contacting Lin Zhifeng who never showed up, Chen Mo had a vague premonition that something must have happened to Lin Zhifeng. Because he hadn't met Cai Peng for a long time, Chen Mo thought about going to the hotel to pay a visit to Cai Peng after the meeting.But as soon as the meeting ended, Long Xiaoyi and Cai Peng immediately went back to Chuxi.When shaking hands, Chen Mo felt that Cai Peng was holding his hand very hard.Time is too tight, Chen Mo can only say bluntly, Mayor Cai, I really miss you.I really miss being your secretary.

Cai Peng just laughed and said, "Chen Mo, if you want to set your position right, what future do you have if you think about being a secretary all day long? Work hard and come to my office when you return to Chuxi."He also said, Secretary Xiaoyi, you haven't been there yet, have you? Chen Mo smiled and replied honestly, no. If you have time, you have to go for a walk. You only get to know each other when you go.Secretary Xiaoyi is approachable and very talented. After sending Cai Peng away, Chen Mo turned around and saw Peng Yimin smiling at him with a strange and ambiguous smile.Peng Yimin said, Minister Chen, you can easily attract the attention of the leaders.Chen Mo felt a little unhappy when he heard this, and said with a smile, I am the secretary of Mayor Cai, so I must be more intimate when we meet.

At that moment, the two of them were chatting and walking back, but Dong Wei had already walked a long way without paying attention to anyone.Peng Yimin said, Minister Chen, did you hear what the leader said today? Chen Mo said, it was just a retreat, I didn't hear anything substantive.He also said that Secretary Peng is very politically sensitive, so I still want to ask you. I feel that there must be something wrong with County Magistrate Lin.Peng Yimin smiled and said mysteriously that an earthquake in the political arena is coming, and we must be prepared to deal with it. Chen Mo just laughed and said, how to deal with it, and how to prepare? Peng Yimin didn't hide his thoughts, and said, Minister Chen, you are deliberately pretending to be stupid. You and I are not new to the political arena. Don't you know that there is a danger in the word crisis? .When the earthquake in the political arena came, the opportunity also came. Qin lost his deer, and the world chased him.

Chen Mo smiled and said, Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it, this is right.But there is another sentence in the back, only the talented and fast-footed get first, I am not a talented and fast-footed person, how dare I have any unreasonable thoughts? Back in his office, after Chen Mo closed the door, he leaned on the sofa and smoked silently.What Peng Yimin said just now shocked him. As the deputy secretary of the county party committee, Peng Yimin occupies an important position.It's not normal for him to have no thoughts at this time.Chen Mo, as the low-ranking propaganda minister of the county party committee, is not very promising.If you're lucky, you can go up later, and at worst, you'll get the seat of a deputy secretary of the county party committee.If you are not lucky enough, you can only stay where you are.

However, it is not that there is no chance at all. Chen Mo feels that although the chance is not high, it is still possible through hard work.First, he was originally at the director level. Among the deputies of the county party committee and government in Longshui County, he was the only one at the director level, so he was assigned at a low level; second, he was Cai Peng's secretary.Although Cai Peng didn't quite get the trust of Cai Peng back then, after his own efforts, Cai Peng's attitude towards him took a 180-degree turn.Cai Peng is a person who is willing to establish his own prestige and is willing to build his own circle, and he has indeed been promoted a lot with his secretary; third, with Zhang Xiao's recommendation, Long Xiaoyi knows himself.According to Long Yun, when Zhang Xiao left, he took his advances and retreats as a political confession to communicate with Long Xiaoyi, which undoubtedly added some weight.

Ever since that conversation with Li Xiang, the decadence in Chen Mo's heart has been swept away.Yes, Li Xiang is a critical friend. Although Li Xiang is aloof, he is not one of those people who do not understand world affairs at all.In some matters, Li Xiang sees more thoroughly than himself.Without a position, without a platform, all ideals are empty talk.Without a sharp weapon in hand, it is just the narcissism and obscenity of pedantic literati to talk about self-cultivation, family governance, and national peace.The county magistrate was not elected, and he couldn't even protect Qin Jian, so why talk about an ideal career?

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the office door.Long Yongshou walked in with a smile and said, the minister is busy.Chen Mo nodded with a smile, and said, there is nothing wrong with looking at the documents.Seeing that Long Yongshou didn't sit down, Chen Mo went to make tea for him in person, pointed to the sofa at the same time, and said, Yongshou, sit down, we haven't had a good chat since County Mayor Zhang's accident. Long Yongshou took the tea with a smile and sat down on the sofa.Chen Mo also left his desk, sat down beside Long Yongshou, and said, You have worked hard during this time, thank you for sharing a lot of my work.

Long Yongshou smiled modestly, and said, it's all work, everyone is not idle, especially you, don't you have day and night? Chen Mo said with emotion, Yongshou, I have been in Longshui for nearly a year, and I know the comrades better and better.I feel that you are very capable, and you have served as the secretary of the township party committee in the countryside. How did you become a deputy director of the Propaganda Department? Long Yongshou blushed, and said, thank you minister for your compliment, but in fact I don't have much ability, I'm just learning from leaders and comrades.

The peaches and plums don't say anything, and they are self-made. If you go around boasting about your abilities all day long, then there is a problem.Chen Mo said.You are very humble, but it is wrong to be too modest.When the spine is in the capsule, when it stands out, it is because you don't hide your sharpness, so you can stand out.Isn't self-promotion popular now? Sometimes self-promotion is necessary. Thank you Minister for your guidance, but Maxima is common, but Bole is not.Throughout the ages, no one knows how many heroes have been buried.With Yongshou like this, it is not a pity that Longshui County has a lot of trucks.Long Yongshou took a sip of tea and said with a wry smile.Chen Mo couldn't help feeling sympathetic.In the official world, how many capable and ideal people are inferior to others, with empty ambitions.Although Long Yongshou said these words calmly, through this calmness, Chen Mo could hear the depression and injustice in his heart. Minister Chen, you are my leader, but I prefer to regard you as my elder brother.Long Yongshou said again.I dare not call myself excellent, but I can still be worthy of a little salary.Back then, he served as the secretary of the township party committee in the township, and his work was also excellent.It was just because I believed in the nonsense that someone who is capable can get a position, and ignored the upper-level line. As a result, other township secretaries were promoted to county leaders, or occupied important posts in various bureaus, and I was transferred to the Propaganda Department as the deputy director. I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? Chen Mo laughed.It is too pessimistic to say that all cadres are promoted through the upper-level route.You came to the Propaganda Department as an excellent township secretary, which is a lukewarm transfer. There should be a reason for this. Do you feel this? Long Yongshou smiled wryly, and said, it was a lie to say that he didn't feel it. Chen Mo refilled his glass, walked back and sat down beside Long Yongshou, smiling and looking into his eyes.Long Yongshou said that when he was the secretary of the township party committee, it coincided with the national public ownership reform.Great sale of public assets.In the 1970s, a small hydropower station was built in the township, which was handed over to the township finance nearly one million yuan every year.A relative of a leader of the county party committee took a fancy to this power station and wanted to buy it, but the bid was far lower than other competitors.The leader greeted him several times, but he still insisted on the principle. As a result, the relative of the leader failed to get the power station as he wished.On the surface, the leader still treats him as usual, but in fact he still remembers this matter in his heart.That year, the organization talked to him and planned to transfer him to the county water conservancy bureau as party secretary and director.The leader objected and fell through.He continued to stay in the country as party secretary for a year before being transferred to the Propaganda Department. The leader is still on stage now.The reason why I have no idea is because I know that as long as he is on stage, I have no hope.It is almost a universal truth that leaders are narrow-minded and have a strong desire for revenge.Finally, Long Yongshou smiled wryly. After hearing this, Chen Mo didn't want to ask which leader it was, but just comforted Long Yongshou.Said, Yongshou, I feel that you are doing the right thing, and you cannot exchange principles.Adhering to principles may offend some people, but it is the safest.Let's put it this way, there is no hope of rising if you stick to the principle, and you have more than enough self-preservation. The two chatted for a while, Chen Mo smiled and said, Yongshou, we are just talking, you must have something to do, right? Long Yongshou smiled, frankly speaking, there is nothing wrong, I always feel that the atmosphere is weird during this period, and the Standing Committee is held again this morning, I want to ask you about the situation.Even if it's my curiosity. Chen Mo laughed and said, I am happy that you are so frank.Concern about the political arena, even ordinary people have it, let alone leading cadres? Some people act like they have nothing to do with themselves, but they have a very strong desire to peep inside, which is actually disgusting. After speaking, Chen Mo told Long Yongshou about the situation of the Standing Committee.Long Yongshou listened carefully and said, Minister, you did not criticize me for inquiring into the situation of the Standing Committee, but told me the truth, which moved me.In my opinion, this meeting will never be the whim of the leaders.Combined with the recent situation in our county, I feel that your opportunity has come. Chen Mo said, please try to say it. Long Yongshou said sternly that Lin Zhifeng hadn't shown up for a long time recently, saying that he was going to the provincial party school to study, but someone had gone to the provincial party school to look for him, but he wasn't actually at the school.Folk rumors have been shuanggui.Dong Wei has also been restless recently, frequently going to the city and the province, and the news on the gossip says that he is looking for connections, but in fact he just wants to keep his seat. Speaking of this, Long Yongshou felt that he was a little too bold, so he couldn't help but glanced at Chen Mo, seeing him smiling at him, he was relieved, smiled and said, I'm just talking nonsense, minister, don't take it seriously. I'm all ears.Chen Mo laughed.Please go on. Long Yongshou said that the rescue of the dead from the Denglongping landslide was a natural disaster. In addition, Yi Wei, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, personally went to the scene to direct, so of course there is nothing to say.However, someone must be responsible for the explosion in the Guangyuan Group's sulfuric acid workshop that caused serious pollution of the Wulong River.Zhang Zicheng was dead, and there was no way to investigate. As the county magistrate, Lin Zhifeng couldn't escape.Dong Wei, as the secretary of the county party committee, cannot escape the leadership responsibility.Perhaps, several leaders will be held accountable.In this way, the problem of vacancies in leadership positions of county party committees and county governments has become prominent.Of course, maybe the city will consider sending someone from the city or other counties.But between the secretary and the county magistrate, there must be one from the county's leading cadres.Otherwise, it will be difficult to balance.I don't know if you are interested? Chen Mo laughed, Long Yongshou's analysis was basically the same as his own judgment.Seeing Chen Mo laughing, Long Yongshou laughed too, and said, Minister, I'm out of line. Chen Mo said with emotion, longevity, I can understand your feelings.Indeed, no one appreciates it, and it is not enough to work hard on your own.To be promoted, in addition to climbing by oneself, someone must be promoted.Therefore, everyone pins their hopes on meeting a promising leader. It is said that if you follow the right person, you will have a future. If you follow the wrong person or even have no one to follow, you will have no future.This has also become the quintessence of our Chinese officialdom culture.It's just that, as a propaganda minister, even if all the secretaries and county magistrates are replaced, it won't be my turn. I'm afraid this will disappoint you. Long Yongshou disagreed.He said, otherwise, you have come to Longshui not long ago, and you don't know much about Longshui.Taking the county party committee as an example, under Secretary Dong and County Mayor Lin, there are only two people, one is Peng Yimin, the deputy secretary of the county party committee, and the other is Dai Wei, the executive deputy county magistrate.Peng Yimin, the leader I mentioned just now, is actually him.Peng is capable, but he is greedy and cunning. Secretly, the cadres call him a tiger with a smiley face, and he is not highly regarded.Dai Wei, the executive deputy county magistrate, is from Dong Wei, and was previously the director of the Finance Bureau.The man gave the impression of being of little talent.Whatever Dong Wei said, he did what he did, and of course it was hard to be popular. The smile that Chen Mo kept on his face disappeared.Although I believe that Long Yongshou is sincere, but the officialdom is sinister and people's hearts are unpredictable. It is not suitable to participate in such presumptuous discussions about leaders.Moreover, Long Yongshou is also a bit past.Seeing that Chen Mo didn't answer for a long time, Long Yongshou came to his senses and said, Minister, am I going too far? Chen Mo remained silent, and said after a long time, Yongshou, thank you for your trust in me, I know, you wouldn't talk to me about these things if you didn't trust me very much.Let's throw it away wherever we talk, and don't spread it. If it spreads, it will affect you.Of course, your analysis may be correct, but even if I intend to compete, I have to go through formal channels. Let's work together.You don't have to think too much about your future, as long as you work hard, the organization will see it.As a minister, I will also consider the future of comrades. The so-called inborn talent must be useful, let's encourage each other. What Chen Mo said made sense.Long Yongshou said, Minister, it is my honor to work under you.What I just said was good with my heart, I hope you will consider it.Speaking of it, please don't think I am selfish. If you can go up, I will be happy to follow you and live up to my life ambitions. After Long Yongshou left, Chen Mo was taken aback.Long Yongshou's analysis of Peng Yimin and Dai Wei gave him a sense of enlightenment.Peng Yimin is a man, and the cadres respect him at a respectful distance.The bureau chiefs who have been in contact with Peng Yimin have a relatively poor reputation among the masses, and it can be said that birds of a feather flock together.As for the smiling tiger, it is the normal state of officials, and there is nothing to be surprised about.The leaders are all kind on the surface, but they are almost mean in their hearts.Personality split, especially in officialdom. Just when Chen Mo was hesitating, he called Xiangqian from Xiakou County.Ask forward, Chen Mo, what are you doing? Chen Mo said, in a daze.Xiangqian laughed out loud and said, if I fell down, I wouldn’t be in a daze for almost a year, right? Did I get a concussion from the fall? Chen Mo smiled wryly and said, "Xiang Shenxian, brother, it wouldn't make you gloat like this if you fell down."Smile forward and say, you know that there are tigers in the mountains, and you prefer to go to the mountains.I persuaded you at the beginning, if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of your eyes.However, this is also your character.Chen Mo, I still admire your personality. Chen Mo laughed and said, Brother, isn't he thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors.Aware of the failure to remonstrate in the past, know that those who come can be chased. Xiangqian laughed and said, don't be sour, Tao Yuanming has abandoned his official position.You are rushing forward in a torrent, two things, two states of mind, don't let the old man down. The two made a joke.Chen Mo said, "Xiang Shenxian, you, the county magistrate, didn't talk about these things with me when you called.If you want to find someone to chat with, you might as well call the voice information station, and a lady will chat with you. Qiangqian laughed again, and said, I am a god, and this time I am a little bit itch again, and I want to calculate another divination for you, how about it, are you willing to pay for the divination? Chen Mo said, I didn't say this, if I meet in Chuxi one day, I will naturally invite you to have a meal. Xiangqian pretended to be a ghost and said, I watched the sky these days and nights, and saw the official star shining in the upper northwest, and there was purple air in the sky over Longshui County.There will be a big change in this Zhaolongshui, and those who are interested will take advantage of the time to make a career.Then pinch your fingers and calculate, it should be on you. Chen remained silent for a long time, and said, Go forward, you are indeed an old friend for many years, you have guessed my thoughts.It's just hesitation in my heart, and there are too many unknowns, so I don't know how to manage it for a while. Xiangqian smiled and said, since you have doubts in your heart, why don't you ask me? It's not that I like to be a teacher, but because of the friendship of my colleagues, I can't just sit back and watch success or failure. Speaking forward, the explosion at the Guangyuan Company's sulfuric acid plant in Longshui County had a great impact.After the company's chairman Liu Jinfeng and several senior executives were arrested, the inside story of Lin Zhifeng's possession of the company's shares was implicated.Lin Zhifeng was immediately controlled, because the matter had not been verified, and he claimed to the outside world that he had gone to study.Recently Lin Zhifeng has been shuanggui, and it will be announced soon.According to reliable sources, after Lin Zhifeng was shuanggui, it led to the serious problem of the Longshui County Party Committee, high-level officials of the county government and enterprise personnel working together to embezzle state-owned assets in the process of enterprise restructuring.Dong Wei may also be involved, but he doesn't know how deep it is.The current Longshui urgently needs someone to take over. You are new here, and you are innocent, so you are one of the most likely to take over.Xiangqian finally said that if God does not take, he will be blamed instead.You still have to fight for it this time, and don't be fooled by fake high-mindedness. Chen Mo was very grateful and said, forward, thank you for reminding me, I intend to go to Chuxi to visit the old leader.It's just that after losing the election last year, he was ashamed to see others.I haven't been there for a long time, and I don't know how to get in for a while. Xiangqian laughed and said, it’s quite frank, so let’s do it again, my brother will do it again.Next Tuesday, you and I will meet in Chuxi, let me go with you. Chen Molian said thank you, it would be easier if Xiangqian went to Cai Peng's place together, if there are some things that are difficult to say, let Xiangqian say it, the effect will be better. After hanging up the phone, Chen sat silently for a while and called Fang Zhiyu. After the phone rang a few times, Fang Zhiyu answered.Chen Mo didn't beat around the bush, and spoke bluntly about the situation in Longshui.Said, Junior Brother, if there were no such things, I would not dare to have any delusions, and be my propaganda director at ease, but since I have the opportunity, I will inevitably have ideas, I hope Junior Brother will not laugh at me as an official fan. Fang Zhiyu said with a smile, since he entered the Vanity Fair, he should not be too constrained by face, let alone be too high-spirited.What do you need me to do? Chen Mo said, it's also my fault that I was too noble at the time, and after Youxian lost the election, I was disheartened and depressed.After Secretary Long Xiaoyi took office, I have not visited once.This time I hugged the Buddha's feet temporarily, but I didn't know anything about the Buddha... Fang Zhiyu understood and said, "This is easy, I will try to call up Secretary Long's resume and fax a copy to you."Just pay attention to confidentiality, privately transfer cadre files, it is not fun to find out. Chen Mo nodded repeatedly and said, I still know this rule, so I don't need to explain it.It's just that the resume is nothing more than study and political experience, but you can't know his hobbies and the like, I'm afraid it won't be published. Fang Zhiyu smiled, I might as well inquire about this for you. Chen Mo said again, I still want to go to Secretary Yi Wei, I wonder if it is convenient for you to contact me? Fang Zhiyu laughed and said, it's not necessary.The deputy secretary of the provincial party committee will not interfere with the deployment of county-level leaders.The so-called county magistrate is not as good as the current one, and beyond the reach of the whip, that is what it means.Brother wants to pay a visit to Secretary Yi, now is not the time, after brother becomes a county-level leader, he will be able to do so. Fang Zhiyu got the file the next day, and for the sake of confidentiality, he will upload it at night.In the evening, Chen Mo went to the office after dinner and received the fax in person. Fang Zhiyu said that he had a chat with his friends in the Provincial Party Committee Office, and that Long Xiaoyi was not addicted to alcohol and tobacco, but only liked fishing.In addition, some people say that he also likes antiques, and every time he comes to Beijing, he goes to the antique market to search for treasures.I especially like to hunt for old books.It is said that there is a special room in his family to store the old books he scoured. Chen Mo listened and memorized it in his heart.These hobbies cannot be mentioned during the first visit, they are just for long-term planning. After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo read Long Xiaoyi's file carefully several times, and copied it by himself to strengthen his memory.Long Xiaoyi's resume is not complicated. He graduated from the Philosophy Department of a famous university in Beijing with a bachelor's degree.After graduation, he was assigned to the Youth League Provincial Committee, and then transferred to a certain county as a deputy county magistrate. After returning to the province, he served as the deputy director of the Youth League Provincial Committee Office, the deputy director of the Policy Research Office of the Provincial Party Committee Office, and the deputy secretary-general of the Provincial Party Committee Office.Judging from this resume, Long Xiaoyi's official career is very smooth, it can even be said to be too smooth.People with successful careers tend to be more emotional in their actions, and do not pay attention to seeking truth from facts.When Long Xiaoyi first came to Chuxi to conduct research in various counties, he did not look good on the county magistrates who came to greet him from afar. This had something to do with his smooth official career and little contact with the grassroots.Such leaders are generally pretentious, thinking that things in the world are nothing more than mediocre, and they are completely confident in themselves.Therefore, it is relatively simple, easy to give people trust, easy to talk to each other. After Chen Mo read the resume, he knew it by heart, so he went to the bathroom and lit it with a lighter. Watching the yellow flames slowly burn the few pieces of paper into ashes, he flushed them down the sewer.Next, Chen Mo went to the computer to search for Long Xiaoyi's name on Baidu. Sure enough, he got a lot of results. He found all the articles published by Long Xiaoyi, mainly some philosophical papers and some miscellaneous talks.Chen Mo noticed that the main direction of Long Xiaoyi's research in the early stage was Feuerbach, but in the later stage it was pragmatism.It is the development of Marxism in China, etc., which is obviously done in line with my own career advancement. After going to work the next day, Chen Mo sent the driver Xiao Liu to Chuxi, asking him to go home and take Feuerbach's philosophical works back to Longshui.At noon that day, Xiao Liu took the book back.When Xiao Liu handed him the book, his eyes were full of admiration, and he said, Minister, I have never even heard of these books, and you have done research, and you have so much knowledge. Chen Mo just smiled lightly, of course there is no need to talk about Feuerbach with Xiao Liu.Moreover, it is not necessarily for the purpose of studying Feuerbach.Thinking of studying Feuerbach for a kind of utilitarianism, Chen Mo felt that it was a blasphemy to the old German. In a blink of an eye, it will be next Tuesday, and Qiangqian really returned to Chuxi.The two parties made an appointment to meet in the metropolis, and Chen Mo asked Shu Fang for 2,000 yuan and kept it in his wallet.When he arrived at the Metropolitan Hotel, Xiangqian was already waiting there. When he saw Chen Mo coming in, Xiangqian smiled and said that he failed to make an appointment with the old man, and a child cannot be taught. Chen Mo couldn't help laughing, seeing each other for more than a year, Qianqian is no longer what it used to be.The person has gained weight, his belly is protruding, and he can vaguely see a double chin, his face is full of red light between his brows, and his eyes are confident and steady.Chen Mo smiled and held forward's hand, and said, the public is not Huangshi, and I am not Han Xin.Brother is late, forgive me. Xiangqian smiled and said, in this case, you can pay for today's meal.Chen Mo quickly agreed, saying, "Naturally, I asked my wife for some money when I came from home." Xiangqian laughed and said, Chen Mo, you still don't change your temper.Doesn't it mean that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish? In a certain position, spending money is also a kind of work, or even a kind of political achievement.If the budget is so tight, many things will be difficult to handle. Chen Mo even claimed to be taught, saying that I am also slowly changing my mind.Speaking of it, don't laugh at me, I am a farmer's son, saving has become something in the blood.Even with the public money, I feel very distressed.Smiling forward, he said, why am I not like this? When I was the county magistrate, a bottle of wine cost thousands of dollars at the reception, which was more painful than cutting out my heart.After serving as the chief officer for a long time, he gradually got used to being extravagant.It's no wonder that the atmosphere is like this now. When the superiors come, if they don't go to Moutai, Wuliangye, or Shuijingfang, no one will drink it.If no one drinks, it will be difficult to carry out work.Chinese cadres can control everything, but they can't control their mouths. Chen Mo said, you are the county magistrate, you can be generous with your money.As the propaganda minister, I can't do it. The tea has already been brewed, Chen Mo's is Oolong, and the forward one is Kuding.After two years, the old brothers have not forgotten each other's tea-drinking habits, and Chen Mo is full of emotion.Said, forward, the officialdom is like a military camp, with iron-clad camps and flowing soldiers.Speaking of the past few years in politics, it can be said that I have read the world.Looking back, it was just passing by.It is those two people who really care about each other. The two drank tea and asked about each other's situation, inevitably sighing.The principle of being an official forward is to move forward steadily.According to his own statement, he is down-to-earth.But Chen Mo is a bit domineering, full of ups and downs. Speaking forward, Chen Mo, when we were in the Municipal Party Committee Office, we didn't have a deep personal relationship. The reason why we became confidants later is that I really admire your talent and attitude towards people.I think it's a good thing that you have a strong sense of morality as a human being, but sometimes too strong a sense of morality doesn't work for people in the officialdom.Let me put it this way, if you are a high-ranking official, you have a strong sense of morality and can practice it yourself, you are a saint; if you are a middle-ranking official, you are a sage;Because your official position is low, even if you are a perfect person, it can't affect anything. You can't educate and educate everywhere, but you will miss your future and let those sleazy people go up and do harm to one side.Of course, I am not saying that being an official can be without a sense of morality.The key is to know how to change when necessary.What you did in You County was indeed just, but what was the result? Killing a senior seven and arresting a group of officials, can you make the politics of You County clear, and then the politics of Chuxi City? No, If you can, you won't lose the election.A person's behavior is closely related to his status.To realize great ideals and make great achievements, one must first endure great sacrifices, great pains, and even great humiliation.These sacrifices, sufferings, are mainly psychological and spiritual.This is also the price we have to pay. If you don't want to pay these prices, your ideals will not be realized. Chen Mo listened quietly.The words to move forward are from the heart.After several years of experience, Chen Mo has never had such thoughts? It's just that sacrificing his ideals and selling his soul (which is temporarily sold), the pain and damage caused to the soul, is what he shudders when he thinks about it.At this time, Chen Mo finally understood what Huang Shigong said to Han Xin.There is something to point forward, Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin, is a person with an idealistic complex, and this type of person is said to be a person who can be killed but not humiliated.When Han Xin was down and out, he once begged for food from Piaomu, and was humiliated under his crotch.Enduring these humiliations, isn't it for the sake of preserving life, so as to win the day when the ideal will be realized in the future? Sweeping the heaven and earth, reunifying the world, and letting the common people live and work in peace and contentment are Han Xin's greatest ideals. Chen Mo couldn't help but said, how can I not know what you said.It's just easier said than done. Let me tell you this, I know this, I have a sentence that may be ugly, but it can heal your heart disease, I wonder if you would like to hear it? Chen Mo leaned forward and listened attentively. A person's sense of morality is inseparable from his own positioning.If the positioning is too high, naturally it will be difficult to put down face.In my opinion, the most difficult thing for a person is not to understand others, but to understand himself, not to position others, but to position himself.Qianqian took a sip of tea and said slowly.I think you are setting yourself too high.My suggestion to you is not to think of yourself as a moral saint, a perfect person.You are just an ordinary person, an ordinary civil servant who has ideals but cannot find a way to realize them for a while.In this way, you will let go of the Buddha in your heart. Chen Mo was filled with emotion, and said, what you said is too vivid.There is indeed a Buddha in my heart, and I can't let it go.It seems that there is a famous foreign saying that only asks about the result and not about the process, which also has a relative truth meaning. Xiangqian laughed and said, Chen Mo, you finally got the hang of it.He also said, the reason why I pay attention to you is because of our deep friendship.In the future, there will be more places to support each other.They are officials who are willing to be more idealistic.In this world, there are too many stupid officials, mediocre officials, vulgar officials, corrupt officials, and cruel officials, but idealistic officials are too scarce. After hearing this, Chen Mo couldn't help being horrified. The facial features that he said in one breath were really shocking.However, if one avoids the inner moral sense, will it lead to beyond the five senses in the end? After chatting for a while, Qianqian's cell phone rang.Qianqian answered the phone and said, kid, we arrived early, why haven’t you arrived yet? Busy with work? Have you forgotten about your old buddies? Hurry up, it’s time for a spanking if you don’t come again. Chen Mo just laughed, knowing that the call was from Long Yun. Xiangqian put down the phone and said with a smile, Long Yun has made great progress in recent years, and he is almost mature.Following Secretary Long Xiaoyi, but not giving up on Mayor Cai, both sides have to appreciate it.Chen Mo smiled and said, well, secretarial work is a university question.It's just that "Secretary Science" cannot be written thoroughly. Just as he was talking, the waiter led Long Yun in.The young man was full of energy. When he met Xiangqian and Chen Mo, he smiled and said, "The two brothers have been waiting for a long time. Just now, Secretary Long asked me to rush for a material, so I was late."Xiangqian smiled and said, I thought you were a traitor and didn't recognize my old buddies. Long Yun laughed and said, how dare you dare. Seeing that Long Yun was serious, Chen Mo couldn't help laughing, and said, children have made a lot of speeches in officialdom, and they have made a lot of progress.The last time you came to Longshui, you didn't have a good time, so you're not angry, right? Long Yun said, let's have a good time, thank you Brother Chen for your hospitality. Immediately, he asked the waiter to serve the food and a bottle of red wine.The three of them switched glasses and drank. The red wine was not very intoxicating, just to create an atmosphere.During the drinking process, Xiangqian said to Long Yun, little friend, you have to call me and Senior Brother Chen Mo and Second Senior Brother. Mayor Cai is our master.Long Yun smiled and said, that's what it was.I have a lot of respect for you two brothers.He smiled and said, I want to test you, do you know what day is tomorrow? Long Yun was stunned for a moment, but did not answer after thinking for a long time.Chen Mo was also at a loss.Speaking forward, tomorrow is our master's 52nd birthday. Fortunately, you have been Mayor Cai's secretary for a few days. How did you become this secretary? Did you forget about Master now that you are with Secretary Long? Long Yun slapped his hands, then his head, and said, Brother Xiang, you scolded well.Look at my head, I still remembered it a few days ago, why did I get confused all of a sudden? Chen Mo was also surprised, it wasn't that he forgot Cai Peng's birthday, he didn't even know when Cai Peng's birthday was.What surprised me was that Qianqian's secretary was really good at it. No matter how strict and harsh the leader was, he couldn't dislike such a secretary. At that moment, Chen Mo had no choice but to act as if he understood clearly, saying that the secretary is serving the leader.Brother Xiangqian has set a good example, and the children still need to learn a few more things.You follow Secretary Long Xiaoyi now, and you have to be more careful.Long Yun bowed his head and said, "Indeed, indeed, my business is still under-developed, and I would like to ask the two brothers to give me more advice in the future." Then Xiangqian smiled and said, you don’t need to go to school verbally. Look at Master’s birthday, how to arrange it well? Our brothers have worked by Mayor Cai’s side for many years, so we must be grateful.Chen Mo and I came here from the county today to celebrate Mayor Cai's birthday.If possible, it is the three of us who have followed him, and let him have a good time.Your task is to invite Mayor Cai.As for the cost, it belongs to me and Chen Mo. Long Yun was overjoyed when he heard that, and said that the two brothers were thoughtful.However, Mayor Cai is afraid that he will not agree. He has always been very strict with himself. Xiangqian smiled and said, Mayor Cai is very strict in self-discipline, we all know this.We don't do any big ostentation, but we just show our gratitude.How about this, you go back and see if Mayor Cai is in the office, if he is, call me, the three of us will be lobbyists together. With the courage to move forward, Long Yun also became active, saying that there is no need to inquire about this.Mayor Cai attended the Standing Committee in the morning.I guess there's nothing going on in the afternoon.At that moment, Long Yun went out to call Cai Peng's secretary Xiao Zhao, and when he came back, he reported that the mayor was resting in his office. Xiangqian laughed and said, this is called a coincidence, maybe our sincerity moved God.Well, let's eat quickly and go right away. Everyone perfunctorily ate a few mouthfuls of rice on the grass, and then put the bowl away.When Chen Mo went to pay the bill, the driver Qianqian had already settled the bill.Chen Mo just laughed and said, it's better to be the county magistrate, if you have money, you can be generous. Speaking forward, you were also the county magistrate, and you kicked yourself out of office.Everyone laughed.Stepping out of the hotel quickly, Long Yun got into the forward car, followed by Chen Mo's car, and arrived at the city government compound in a short while.The three of them went directly to Cai Peng's office. The door of Cai Peng's office was tightly closed, and there was no sound inside. Long Yun raised his hand to knock on the door, then put it down again, and whispered, "I still dare not knock."Smile forward and say, whoever knocks if you don't.Long Yunxiao, I don't care, anyway, I don't knock. Qianqian knocked on the door, and after knocking for a while, I heard Cai Peng's unhappy voice in the room, saying, I am resting, um, it will not be peaceful if I take a rest.Call forward, Mayor, it's me, forward.Cai Peng fell silent, and opened the door after a while. Seeing all three people standing outside the door, he couldn't help being surprised, and said, I said, who is so courageous? It turned out to be the three of you, why did you meet together? Xiangqian salivated and smiled, and said, why don't you let us in? Cai Peng made a helpless expression and said, come in quickly. Three people entered the mayor's office.Long Yun closed the office door first, then made tea for Xiang Xiang and Chen Mo, and replaced Cai Peng's magnetized cup with new tea, which was also ready.At this time, Cai Peng went to the bathroom to wash up, but he heard the splashing of water outside, and it took him a while to come out.Chen Mo stood up and said sorry, Mayor Cai, I have interrupted your rest. Cai Peng sighed helplessly and said, forget it, if you don't bother me, someone will.Ever since I became the mayor, I haven't had a good night's sleep. Speaking forward, a city with a population of several million is comparable to some small African countries.The leadership work is very hard, you have to take care of your health, not only for yourself, but also for the millions of people in the city. Cai Peng laughed, and said affectionately, forward, flattering also needs to talk about art.My body belongs to me alone, how can I get involved with millions of people? Salivating forward, he said that leaders work for the people. You often teach us that when you become a leader, you can no longer pretend to be yourself.The heart is not personal anymore, and of course the body is not personal either. Cai Peng couldn't help but burst out laughing, pointing forward while laughing, what's the point of you moving forward? It's nonsensical.In this regard, you should learn more from Chen Mo, don't go outside and make me ugly. Chen Mo admired him very much and came forward, the awkward atmosphere was mellowed by his half flattering and half joking words.It seems that leaders don't like serious people, which makes sense.领导整天被一些严肃的事包围着,心里难得轻松一下。难怪古代一些诙谐之士和些绯优人物多得帝王恩宠,从这点来看就不奇怪了。 蔡鹏关心地问了一下向前和陈默的工作情况,两人规规矩矩地汇报了。聊完了工作,蔡鹏笑着说,你们三个人一起过来,不是偶然吧?有什么事? 向前笑着说,蔡市长,您忘了明天是什么日子了? 蔡鹏就认真地想了起来,说,明天是什么日子? 向前说,明天是您五十二岁的生日。作为您的秘书,我们三个邀着给您祝贺生日来了。 蔡鹏恍然大悟,说,我倒是忘了。我都多年没有过生日了,今年也不准备过。不过还是谢谢你们的好意。 向前就不满意了,说,市长您这就不近情理了。您自己可以不过生日,总不能不让我们表达对您的感恩吧。我们跟了您多年,这个要求不过分的。 陈默也说,蔡市长,您自律很严。这次我们三人商议很久才决定的,范围也就是我们三个,不扩大了。 蔡鹏一直笑着。看得出来,蔡鹏很高兴。 龙云好像是怕被人抢了头功似的说,市长,您要批评就批评我吧,是我无组织无纪律。 蔡鹏好像很无奈说,我就知道,你们是来集体逼宫的。好吧,随你们做去。只是,范围只限于你们三个,不要给我添乱。明天吃饭地方你们选,安静一点就好。行了吧? 大家就舒了一口气,笑着说,行行,就这样。 向前又说,市长,我有一个建议。 Speak.蔡鹏和蔼地说。 我们还没有吃晚饭,今天的晚饭我们还是吃您的吧。向前说着,忍不住笑了起来。 蔡鹏大笑,说,我就知道你一定要生出什么鬼主意来。才说请我吃饭,今晚就先扳了本。行行,叫龙云招待你们吧,发票拿回来找市政府办报销。接着,蔡鹏又对龙云说,今天晚上倒是可以吃好一点,不然这两位回去,只怕要说我小气。龙云高兴地答应了。 辞别蔡鹏出来,三个人去了茶馆喝茶,商量明天晚上的活动。向前笑着说,陈部长,你是宣传部长,我负责把领导请来,还负责一应开支。怎么个热闹法,只怕要你出面了,反正你们宣传部本来就是做热闹的。 陈默就笑,说,贬人也没有这样贬的,宣传工作毛主席都很重视,只有你说是做热闹的。 向前笑了起来,说,不满意啦,要批评以后你再批评吧,先说怎么做热闹点。 陈默说,我还真不知道。 向前说,这个宣传部长不合格。我来教教你吧,先订一个有品位的蛋糕,找几个美女,能歌善舞的那种,你们县剧团有的是。总之你要办得热闹而有度,具体怎么做是你的事了。
