Chapter 166: The Pick-up Man
Although Li Weijun is obscene and ugly, he is not stupid, and he is even a little smart. When Luo Qiulin introduced Liu Shuangyan to him as his girlfriend seriously, and Liu Shuangyan also agreed, although he had a sense of dizziness of "pie suddenly falling from the sky", he was not stunned by this kind of "happiness" that fell from the sky, and immediately reacted after a moment of ignorance: he is likely to become a "pick-up man", and he is taking Liu Shuangyan's hot potato for the "big boss" behind Luo Qiulin!
He analyzed: There must be something big wrong between Liu Shuangyan and the "big boss", and Liu Shuangyan must be married off as soon as possible, so as not to affect his political future. And he, a junior clerk in the county party committee office who can't find a wife in his thirties and looks honest, has become the best "pick-up man" between Luo Qiulin and the "big boss......
After figuring out this section, Li Weijun not only did not feel sad, but on the contrary, he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart: It seems that his good luck has come! If Liu Shuangyan is really the "mistress" of the big boss, as long as he agrees to marry her, it is tantamount to solving the big trouble for the "big boss", and he will definitely look at himself differently in the future; at the same time, his immediate boss Luo Qiulin will also take care of and support himself from now on, which is equivalent to finding two solid big backers at once!
What's more: Liu Shuangyan's sister Liu Feiyan has long become Luo Qiulin's lover. If he chooses to marry Liu Shuangyan, it is equivalent to becoming a de facto "brother-in-law" with Luo Qiulin, and he is also equivalent to joining the "circle" formed by the big boss and Luo Qiulin and others, and he will not be able to get promoted and make a fortune in the future. What's more, Liu Shuangyan's father Liu Hong is already one of the richest people in Taolin County, and he is also a well-known "social big brother", and it is quite a thing to boast about being able to become his son-in-law......
When Huang Zeke said this, Lu Tao interjected a little puzzled: "Mayor Huang, are these thoughts and mental activities of Li Weijun guessed or are they true?"
Huang Zeke smiled and said: "This is not my imagination and speculation, but Li Weijun said it when he told others about his inner distress after drinking. Because he knows very well: the people of the county party committee and county government all know the relationship between Liu Shuangyan and the original 'big boss', and they all laugh at him behind his back for picking up the broken shoes of the 'big boss' and wearing them. It was an open secret, and he said that it was the same whether he said it or not, so he simply took the opportunity of getting drunk to pour out his anguish and troubles to a few friends whom he thought he trusted, but he did not expect that some of those friends would pass on his words again. Huh!"
Lu Tao was still a little puzzled: "According to what you said, this Li Weijun came from a particularly poor family, and he was depressed until he was in his thirties, and he was also considered by Luo Qiulin and others to be an honest and reliable 'pick-up man'. According to common sense, a rural boy like him, who has been from a very hard background and has been oppressed for many years, should know how to be difficult and hard, and know how to be humble and retreat, why has he become so rotten and arrogant now?"
Huang Zeke shook his head and said: "Xiao Lu, you are still young, and you are not in the officialdom, and you don't understand the ugliness of human nature. In the past few years, I have seen many cases of corrupt officials falling from power, and I have also analyzed the mentality of many grassroots officials, and found a relatively common problem: the more officials who come from poor backgrounds and suffer hardships in their youth, the more astonishing the degree of corruption and degeneration they have; moreover, the more those who have been suppressed, neglected, and looked down upon, once they have soared, the more they like to put on a show, and the more they like to bully and suppress those who are lower than him, and Li Weijun is such a typical example!
"Later, I also analyzed the psychological transformation process of such officials, and believed that the main crux of their corruption and degeneration was the 'compensation psychology': when I was a child, my family was very poor, and once I became an official and had power, I tried every possible way to make money, and even had a perverted obsession with money, and subconsciously wanted to make up for the regret of lack of money when I was a child; People with small official positions are even ordinary people, so we often see: Some officials from poor backgrounds, even if they are a small section-level cadre, have a bigger official frame than provincial governors and ministers, and they like to play prestige in front of their subordinates and the people, as if they are afraid that others will not know that he is a certain secretary or a certain bureau chief. ”
Speaking of this, he picked up his wine glass and took a sip of bayberry wine to moisten his throat, and continued: "I have also analyzed the reason why Li Weijun is willing to be a 'pick-up man', which is actually very understandable: At that time, Li Weijun was a very humble little person, with no money, no power and no backing, it is estimated that Luo Qiulin and others usually don't bother to look at him, and it is impossible for him to join Luo Qiulin and their powerful circle. However, as long as he agrees to marry Liu Shuangyan, temporarily give up his dignity, endure the ridicule and discussion of others, and willingly take over the 'big boss' and solve problems for him, he can get the appreciation of the big boss and his top boss Luo Qiulin, can smoothly enter their circle of influence, and can also get the money of Liu Shuangyan's family, this is a multi-win deal.
"In other words, in this incident of acting as a 'pick-up man', Li Weijun only lost much 'dignity', but what he gained may be power, wealth and a beautiful wife. Facts have proved that his move was indeed right: under Luo Qiulin's urging, he and Liu Shuangyan only fell in love for a month and got married. Half a year later, he was promoted to deputy chief of the comprehensive section of the county party committee office. Later, with the continuous promotion of the big boss and Luo Qiulin, his position was also continuously improved, from deputy section chief to section chief, to deputy director of the government office, to township mayor, and then to secretary of Dalong Town. At the same time, his fortune continued to climb as his father-in-law's business grew. Some people say that his current wealth is at least tens of millions, so he also has the nickname 'Secretary of Ten Million'. ”
Lu Tao was still a little puzzled, and continued to ask: "You just said that his wife Liu Shuangyan is his biggest weakness, what is the reason?"
"It's very simple: everything Li Weijun has now, including his power, wealth, and status, is due to his wife. Since Liu Shuangyan has the ability to give him so much, then she also has the ability to destroy everything he has. Therefore, if you want to bring down Li Weijun, you must first create contradictions and cracks between Liu Shuangyan and Li Weijun, so that Liu Shuangyan will hate him completely. As long as Liu Shuangyan doesn't protect Li Weijun, he will lose his biggest backstage and backer, and you don't have to bother to bring him down again!"
