Time flew by, and soon it was time to get off work normally. For most people, this time marks the official end of the day, and the next step is to eat, drink, and enjoy your leisure time. But for people like Li Rui who are in a special job, this time has no meaning at all. His time is no longer in his own hands, it all depends on the arrangement of his boss Song Chaoyang. Song Chaoyang asked him to get off work at what time he had to get off work, which can't but be said to be a kind of sadness.

Li Rui looked at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen, sighed, and said in his heart, people just see that I, the first secretary of the municipal party committee, have infinite scenery outside, but they can't see the hard work I have paid for this job at all, which is a typical "only see thieves eating meat, but can't see thieves being beaten".

Suddenly, a figure flashed within his peripheral vision, and someone walked in, looked up, and was taken aback, saying that he was an old fox, and hurriedly got up to greet him: "Secretary Yu." ”

The person who came was Yu Heping, full-time deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.

Yu Heping walked to the side of his table and stopped, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Xiao Rui, what are you sighing for?" Li Ruixin said that this old fox's ears were spiritual, and even Lao Tzu sighed, and he listened to it, and said with a smile on his face: "It's nothing, I just thought of something and didn't know where to start, and I was a little depressed, so I sighed." Yu Heping asked with interest: "Oh, what is the matter?" Li Rui said: "It's not a big deal, it's the self-immolation incident at the city railway station that happened a few days ago." Yu Heping frowned and said: "I heard about that incident, isn't there already an investigation team from the city government to investigate?" Li Rui said: "Yes, and they have finished the investigation, but the results of the investigation are very different from what I learned, so Secretary Song plans to investigate again." ”

Yu Heping said: "Oh, what's the difference, you can make it clear." Li Rui didn't know why he was so interested in this matter, and he didn't think to hide it from him, so he told Wang Yonggang everything before and after his self-immolation, and also mentioned the investigation report issued by the municipal government's investigation team. After listening to this, Yu Heping pondered for a while, and didn't ask anything more, but said, "Is Secretary Song inside?" Li Rui said: "Yes, I'll open the door for you." Yu Heping nodded.

Li Rui greeted Song Chaoyang, invited Yu Heping in, and saw that he didn't take a water cup, so he asked him if he wanted to make tea, and after getting a negative answer, he closed the door and went out.

In the office, Song Chaoyang sat on the sofa with Yu Heping, and said with a smile: "Secretary Heping, at the end of the year, the work will be busy, and I want to ask you to help more." Yu Heping waved his hand and said politely: "Secretary, you are too polite, is that my job to share the work with you, just throw over any work." Song Chaoyang said: "Okay, then I'll thank you in advance." ”

After saying these two pleasantries, Yu Heping took the initiative to explain his intentions: "This time, I will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing." You see, at the last Standing Committee, we said that we would discuss and decide on the candidates for deputy secretary of the Shuanghe County CPC Committee at the last Standing Committee, but as a result, we should give priority to the major meeting at the end of the year and put it on hold for the time being. But it's not good to drag on forever. The deputy secretary of the county party committee is quite important, that is the most important helper of the secretary of the county party committee, and he is also one of the important leaders of the county party committee.

He stopped at this point, and did not say such advice as "let's decide on this candidate right away". Because he understands that after listening to his words, Song Chaoyang understands his thoughts, and there is no need to talk nonsense.

This is what the leader says, only three points in a sentence, not the whole story, and the rest of the meaning needs to be understood. A smart person can easily understand what the leader says, but a person with a straight brain or a rough nerve or a stupid person may not understand it. Therefore, in the officialdom, why do some people get promoted as fast as taking a helicopter, while some people stay the same all their lives. This is because some people are more likely to grasp the mind of a leader.

In officialdom, intelligence is not important, ability is not important, academic qualifications are not important, only one thing is most important, that is, whether you can understand the mind of the leader.

Song Chaoyang listened to Yu Heping's words, the expression on his face remained unchanged, it was still a warm smile, but he secretly scolded the old fox for being cunning in his heart, he must have known that the paragraph he just said, if he said it on the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, it would be a little too weighty, and it was likely to be rejected by himself, and it was more likely to attract the resistance of Sun Yaozu and Jia Yulong, which eventually led to the same as not saying it, so he deliberately found himself in private, so that he was bound to take care of his face, it was not easy to veto, and he would go along with his mind, and after that, he would also put forward his proposal for a candidate, so as to seek a high position for his cronies, which is equivalent to killing two birds with one stone, what he thinks is beautiful, but he only thinks about himself, why didn't he think about the thoughts of the government Sun Yaozu?

Song Chaoyang thought for a while and said, "In this way, in the next two days, see when everyone has time, take half an hour to an hour to convene a temporary standing committee to settle this matter." Before the Chinese New Year, the Shuanghe County Standing Committee team will be completed. Do you think about it?" After saying this, without waiting for him to say anything, he got up and said, "If you have no opinion, then it is decided." I still have to talk to the people's livelihood about something, that's all?"

In fact, Yu Heping came to Song Chaoyang privately this time to talk about the candidate for deputy secretary of the Shuanghe County Party Committee, and he really had the idea of making a private transaction with him, thinking that this time he begged him to give him a favor, arrange his own people to be on the top, and wait for the next time there is a vacancy, he will return the favor to him, and the person who supports him will take the position, and the plan is very good, who knew that he was so busy, and directly issued an eviction order, and the idea in his heart did not go as he wished, so he was naturally a little unhappy, but he was not good at saying anything, and got up and said: " Well, since you're so busy, you should get busy first. After speaking, he walked out with a cold face.

Li Rui heard the sound of the door, looked sideways, and saw Yu Heping walking out of it, different from when he went in just now, he came out with a calm face, as if someone owed him millions, he guessed that he was deflated by the boss, and he was gloating in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off, got up to see him off, and said, "Secretary Yu walks slowly." ”

Yu Heping suddenly stopped when he heard this, turned his head to look at him, his face changed uncertainly for a while, and said coldly: "Xiao Rui, when Secretary Song is free, you tell him that he Sun Yaozu can promote the secretary to Shinan District as the executive deputy head of the district, why can't I, Yu Heping, arrange the secretary to go to Shuanghe County as the deputy secretary." After saying that, he snorted angrily and turned to leave.

Li Rui was inexplicable when he heard it, and only after half a sound did he come back to his senses, he was deflated by the boss because of the issue of personnel appointment, but the problem is that he was deflated and either went to the boss to vent his anger, or he pressed it in his heart, why did he say such a thing to himself, a little secretary? And he said it so bluntly, it was like tearing his face, which was too inconsistent with his identity as deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. The deputy secretary of the municipal party committee should be calm and sophisticated, not to be angry or angry, and he will not say something taboo, but he directly said "cronyism." Is it that he wants to openly challenge the unspoken rules of officialdom? It's incredible, is he confused?

After eating in the evening, when he was strolling around in the backyard to eat, Li Rui told Song Chaoyang about it.

Song Chaoyang asked: "Who is his former secretary?" Li Rui had already inquired from his master Yuan Xiaodi, and replied: "It is the current deputy director of China Merchants Bureau, named Liu Guangbin, who has been his secretary for more than two years." Song Chaoyang said: "China Merchants Bureau, I know that there are a lot of investment promotion tasks every year, and the pressure is extremely high, and the higher the level of cadres in the bureau, the more tasks they are assigned. It can be said that it is a bad unit. Li Rui said: "According to what you say, I understand that Liu Guangbin's life is not expected to be too easy, Secretary Yu wants to rescue him from the sea of suffering." ”

Song Chaoyang said: "It is normal for the leader to arrange for his secretary to go to a good place, but he tells you this kind of yin and yang weird words, what does it mean?" Li Rui didn't want to say anything else, and said in his heart that this was a fight between your immortals, and I, a little ghost, should not mix it in, so as not to suffer. Song Chaoyang said with a smile: "He has an opinion on me." Li Ruixin said that there are many people who have opinions about the old fox, but which one is not living well, and said, "You don't have to pay attention to him." Song Chaoyang sighed: "As the boss of the municipal party committee, it's okay to care about the affairs of the family, but this matter is really a bit troublesome." ”

Li Rui didn't know what the boss's words meant, and he didn't bother to think about it, secretly thinking about how to communicate with the beautiful woman in sunglasses when he saw her tonight. In case she is really Zhang Zihao's sister, how to deal with her. In the end, Liu Annie is her own ally comrade-in-arms, and her friend Shi Guangming's Qingren, and the most disadvantaged is her fellow countryman, how can she watch her being bullied by the Zhang family? When it is time to lend a hand, you must pull her.

Time flew by, and soon it was nine o'clock in the evening, Song Chaoyang got off work as usual, and returned to Qingyang Hotel accompanied by Li Rui. He has a very good habit, as long as he is not too busy, he will not work too late, and basically get off work around nine o'clock every night to rest, and naturally he also deliberately follows the principle of health.

Coming out of the hotel, Li Rui took a taxi to the tea restaurant of Shengjing Hotel, where he made an appointment with Liu Annie, and talked to Lu Qingman on the phone for a while in the car.

Lu Qingman mentioned an incident that made him realize that married life was not far off. Lu Qingman said that after the new year, he will take up a temporary post in the Organization Department of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee and serve as deputy minister, and the level will remain the same as before, and the temporary post will be for two years.
