Standing in line is a neutral word, but when it comes out of the mouths of officialdom, it has another meaning.

For Huang Zhigang, who is from the official to the deputy department of real power, no matter how good he is, it is better to stand in line than to stand in line. After graduating from university and joining the State Planning Commission, it took only six years for him to become a section member, and it was smooth sailing. But it was because he made a mistake in standing in line once, and he changed from the director of real power to an idle position, and it took a lot of effort to achieve satisfactory results for the senior management, so he was promoted to an idle deputy department. If it weren't for the high-level personnel changes, the former leader's opponent who was in charge of the work gave him a chance to stand on his feet again, perhaps he would have continued to work in the information center and changed from a young cadre to an old bureaucrat.

This is not bad, Huang Zhigang is a person with roots. The mentor is the famous economist Xiao Daren, Xiao Daren is Wu Lao's person, Wu Lao can talk to the highest level, and the high-level people wear small shoes to him is also slightly punitive, if it is replaced by those who have no roots, it is likely to be idle to the old.

There is no party emperor ideology outside the party, and there are no factions in the party. In the country under the party's world, ordinary people can go with the flow, and those who reach a certain level must stand in line. There is no need for Huang Zhigang, a person in the officialdom, to say more about this, Li Jiaming also knows it very well in his heart.

Regardless of the factors of political factions, it is impossible for a single centralized system to keep such a large economic force out of control. This is not a simple question of factionalism, but of long-term stability. More than 2,000 years of centralization have allowed everyone to reach a consensus on great unification, and only by strengthening the strong and weak branches can the local princes not challenge the strength of the central government, and can they ensure the authority of the central government and achieve great unification. Only by great unification can the country achieve long-term peace and stability; this consensus was reached after 2,000 years, dozens of dynasties, and hundreds of millions of deaths.

Under this consensus, your personal opinion is not important, what matters is whether you have the strength or not. If you have that strength, and you don't stand in line or show your attitude, whoever is on the stage will also clean you up, this is the so-called 'no guilt, no guilt'.

"It's overbearing!"

Li Jiaming, who was drunk and red-faced, sighed with emotion, took the 'special China' cigarette handed over by Huang Zhigang, and joked: "Can the small deputy hall smoke this kind of cigarette?"

"Hehe", Huang Zhigang laughed a few times, and saw that Li Jiaming was still smiling at him, knowing that the other party was not just joking, so he had to helplessly explain: "The big leader doesn't smoke, and Lao Xiao doesn't smoke either, so he gave me a façade." ”

I understand, it's another Yanyuan circle, it's good to be born in a famous school, and you can find alumni and seniors to help at any time, just like the ancient Jinshi attached importance to 'the same year'. It is estimated that this guy has changed from an idle job to real power, and he has also taken the path of alumni and re-stood in line.

"Brother Gang, since there is this way, please take care of the affairs of my hometown!"

Huang Zhigang used the Dupeng firer sent by Li Jiaming to light the fire for him, and scolded with a smile: "Mingzi, scold my brother, right? I heard that your cousin is the deputy county magistrate, and I asked her to report when I went to investigate." ”

The work was done carefully enough, and Li Jiaming was happy and brought up the topic just now. The level of officialdom he understands is too low, and businessmen do not need to take sides, but they need to maintain good relations with the government. The former counselor reminded himself not to take sides, there must be someone who wants to take sides, and he has to figure this out and not get involved in factional struggles.

It's not a good thing to talk about it, and it's not necessarily appropriate to talk about it, but it's not easy to do it with Huang Zhigang and Li Jiaming. The two of them have a good relationship with each other, and they are both very sensible people, so they will not mind because of verbal faux pas.

Now that Li Jiaming asked for some advice on officialdom, Huang Zhigang, who had suffered a loss, thought for a while and reminded: "Jiaming, you have a good relationship with Lao Cai in Jiangcheng, right?"

Secretary Cai? Li Jiaming hesitated for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Brother Gang, you mean?"

This is the culture in officialdom, ability is not the most important thing, what matters is who you are and who is mine. Huang Zhigang's backer and Secretary Cai belong to two factions, but it does not prevent him, a small person who is not yet on the stage, from guiding his friends.

"Yes, there is no party emperor ideology in the party, and the mountain faction cannot be avoided, but no matter which faction and which mountain hates the lonely ministers and sons, they are inseparable from them. If only he had a better understanding, he might be able to go up!"

A lonely son?

This title is not good but the image, Lao Cai seems to be able to be the same as the light, but the things he recognizes are to the end, no matter what his boss and colleagues think. Compared with his own remarks, almost all of them want to conflict with mainstream values, so why not be a lonely son of a businessman and academia?

"Yes, if it weren't for the temptation of your investment project of up to 2 billion yuan, the municipal party committee and the municipal government would not have been able to give you preferential treatment. You're like, what's it, it's useful but it's a headache anyway.

Which of the things you said is consistent with the official media? Which one is not the opposite? Jiaming, you think that you are smart, but others don't know what you said? It's just that everyone is smart and doesn't say it. ”

This is a very serious statement, but Li Jiaming doesn't mind, treating you as a friend will be so unturning, if he doesn't treat you as a friend, people won't say these things. At the wine table, everyone called each other brothers, if something happens, how many people will reach out to help? When Sohu was the most difficult, this brother was playing the brand of Lord Xiao and pulling advertisements for himself.

But is it really wrong to be out of place? Li Jiaming, who was already standing taller, hesitated, and finally retorted: "Brother Gang, everyone pursues differently, you want to go up, and I am pursuing the name behind you." With my wealth and development trend today, as long as I don't take sides, no faction will move me. If you push me to an opponent, the combination of power and wealth is enough to make the opponent anxious. ”

Huang Zhigang looked at Li Jiaming strangely, and when he saw that he didn't seem to be joking, he said curiously: "Mingzi, if I'm not mistaken, you are 25 this year, right?"

In front of his friends, Li Jiaming didn't hide it too much, his hand that didn't hold a cigarette lit his chest, and said with a wry smile: "My heart is old."

"Fart!"

"Really, when I was eleven years old, I read through "The Outer History of Confucianism" and "The Travels of the Old Disabled" and put what I learned into practice, and in my first year of high school, I was able to wrestle with the teacher who was the deputy county magistrate of the Standing Committee, and I made him disgraced. Do you recall that since you have known me, have you seen me suffer?"

With such a reminder, Huang Zhigang recalled Li Jiaming's personal skills at the beginning, and couldn't help but have mixed emotions.

"Really see through?"

"See through"

Huang Zhigang understood which political force Li Jiaming had no intention of attaching to, and Li Jiaming got more inspiration or hints from the other party's inconsistent words. The person who wants to win over him is none other than his leader or the faction he leads, but he reminds himself not to take sides out of friendship or his own long-term considerations. This kind of thing is taboo in officialdom, but if you have an irreversible relationship with him, it has become a hidden trick, and it is also a common trick of people in officialdom.

This is no longer a feudal society, and who is who is who is important, but not so important that it is compared with the word 'loyalty'. In the final analysis, loyalty is due to the fact that the price of betrayal is not enough, and his friendship with himself is undoubtedly more important than his relationship with his superiors. After all, being an official is only temporary, and your wealth can be owned for a lifetime, as long as you are willing to help, you will have more opportunities to use yourself in the future.
