Liang Jian kept sending Hu Xiaoying to the car. When the car was about to start, Hu Xiaoying suddenly rolled down the window and said to Liang Jian: "I have time to read Comrade **'s "Theory of Contradiction", the theory of contradiction is everywhere, and sometimes we can only solve the contradiction by facing the contradiction squarely. To be a leading cadre is to deal with all kinds of contradictions every day. Contradictions are external, internal, and self-contained. We must properly handle all kinds of contradictions in order to succeed as a leading cadre. ”

Hu Xiaoying's car drove away. Liang Jian also stood in the foyer for a while.

After returning to the office, Liang Jian took out a notebook.

It's a brand new notebook. Liang Jian wrote on the title page: "Thought Journal. ”

Turning the first page, the date and weather are written, followed by two sentences:

1. The work you want to do is your work.

2. Contradictions are everywhere. To be a cadre is to deal with contradictions.

Liang Jian decided that from this day on, he would record his thoughts and feelings every day and remind himself to pay more attention. If you can't do "three provinces a day" in one day, you must at least "make a note a day". Liang Jian thought: Wen Zhaosheng asked him to take the initiative to go to Hu Xiaoying yesterday, which seems to be really correct.

Early the next morning, Liang Jian had just arrived at the office, and before he could make tea, the landline phone rang. Liang Jian answered the phone, and his voice was quite familiar: "Minister Liang, hello, I came to disturb you so early!" Liang Jian said, "Nothing? Who are you? ”

The other party said: "I am Feng Feng from the Party Building Research Office of the Provincial Party Committee, and I talked to Minister Liang on the phone last time, do you remember Minister Liang?" ”

Liang Jian said: "Remember, remember." Feng Feng said: "The last time I contacted Minister Liang to provide materials about the work of cadres, Minister Liang said that he would report to the leadership, I don't know if there is a result?" ”

Liang Jian had long forgotten about this matter. At that time, he said that he wanted to report to the leader, which originally meant refusal, so he did not report to Zhu Yongliang. Liang Jian is not easy to say, and he has not reported it at all. So he said: "I have already told the leader about this, but our Minister Zhu said that we have to think about it again." ”

Feng Feng said: "The Minister Zhu you are talking about, is it Minister Zhu Yongliang?" Feng Feng knew Zhu Yongliang, which means that he is still familiar with the Organization Department of Changhu District, but he is not familiar with Zhu Yongliang, but he does not know, Liang Jian asked: "Director Feng is also familiar with our Minister Zhu?" ”

Feng Feng said: "I was quite familiar with it before, but I have had little contact recently. Minister Liang, you see, since you have already asked Minister Zhu, why don't I call Minister Zhu directly? Liang Jian actually didn't ask Zhu Yongliang, if Feng Feng called like this, I was afraid that he would show his stuffing, so he said: "That's it, Director Feng, or I'll ask Minister Zhu's opinion again, and call you back immediately, how about it?" ”

Feng Feng dared to call Zhu Yongliang in person, explaining that they at least knew each other. This matter, at most, involves the so-called "revision fee", if Zhu Yongliang is willing to publish it, it is not a bad thing to publish a material in a party building research journal! He ran to Zhu Yongliang's office.

Zhu Yongliang saw Liang Jian coming in and didn't make a sound. He really didn't want to see Liang Jian in the past two days, so he didn't give Liang Jian a good face. Liang Jian looked at him with a straight face, and he didn't take it to heart. He said to Zhu Yongliang: "Minister Zhu, there is a phone call, saying that it is someone from the Party Building Research Office of the Provincial Party Committee, and he said that he wants to learn from us about the situation of cadres in recent years and help us publish an experience draft in the study of party building. ”

Liang Jian was down to business, and Zhu Yongliang didn't want to ignore it, so he asked, "What's that person's name?" Liang Jian said: "Feng Feng." ”

Zhu Yongliang's eyes lit up, but the light quickly went out again, like a little candle in the winter wind, it disappeared in an instant, and he said lightly: "Let's let this matter go!" Liang Jian said: "Minister Zhu, the other party said that I know you." Provincial Party Committee Party Building Office, is there really such a person? ”

Zhu Yongliang raised his eyes and looked at Liang Jian: "It used to be run by the provincial party committee, and later it went to the party building office, but it was just a temporary institution. Leave this matter alone! "No matter what's best, it's not for yourself to post articles anyway, it's better to have more than one thing.

Liang Jian returned to the office and called Feng Feng back: "Director Feng, our Minister Zhu said that he is busy, and he may not have time to do this recently. Feng Feng said: "This won't delay much time, as long as your department sorts out the materials, they will be ready-made, and there is no need to re-engage in the materials, we can take a look." Liang Jian was just prevaricating and made an excuse to be busy, so that Feng Feng could go down the steps. But people don't know if they deliberately pretended not to understand, or if they didn't understand it in the first place, so they continued to entangle. Liang Jian had no choice but to say, "Director Feng, I won't go around in circles with you." Let's be honest, our Minister Zhu said, let this matter go, let me leave it alone! ”

Liang Jian told the truth, and the other party was silent for a moment on the phone before saying, "I'm sorry, Minister Liang, I'm really embarrassed for you." I contacted Minister Zhu myself. ”

Liang Jian didn't want to be nosy, so he said, "Okay then." ”

In the afternoon, Liang Jian continued to look at the cadre work materials in the office, listing the ideas of rules and regulations, and he wrote on the A4 white paper used for printing: There are problems in the construction of the cadre team in Changhu District: 1. The team structure is unreasonable, and the training of young cadres is out of touch; 2. There is a lack of communication and transfer of cadres in important positions, and there is a danger of solidification; 3. The enthusiasm of the cadre team has not been fully mobilized, and the potential of the cadres has been brought into play.

Yesterday, Hu Xiaoying's sentence "What you want to do is your work" made Liang Jian feel deeply, if it wasn't for Hu Xiaoying's reminder, he still hasn't understood it!

Liang Jian was very active in learning during his university years, and sometimes the teacher read from the book on the stage, which was boring, and he didn't buy it, so he went to the library and bookstore alone to find knowledge and nutrients, and arranged his own study time. But as soon as you go to work, especially working at the grassroots level in townships and towns, you don't need to have any creativity, let alone any assertiveness, as long as you do a good job in the work assigned by the leader, everything will be fine.

Slowly, he took the initiative to think and take the initiative to find a way to think less, although he later engaged in a mechanism to standardize the operation of party and government power, it was also forced out, if it was not for Zhong Tao's step-by-step pressing, he probably would not have joined Jin Kaige to engage in this mechanism. The imprint of township work on him is that being a cadre does not need to have independent opinions, being a leader is just a mash-up, and government organs have no personal freedom to do things in the first place, and they just need to do things well within the scope of their duties!

After listening to Hu Xiaoying's words yesterday, Liang Jian suddenly understood that in the organs, there is actually a lot of creative space. In the organs, it is not just a matter of drinking tea and reading the newspapers, but today's organs are really everywhere, and they have to face all kinds of contradictions every day, and to solve these contradictions, they must give full play to their creativity, and sometimes it is not much easier than developing a computer software, and there may be more dead brain cells.

As far as his current situation is concerned, Liang Jian has slowly realized Hu Xiaoying's intentions:

Hu Xiaoying did not remove him from his post, which means that he is still the deputy head of the Organization Department, and the hat is still on his head. Hu Xiaoying did not let him be in charge of the cadres, on the one hand, he blocked Wan Kang and Zhu Yongliang's mouths, which was regarded as giving them an explanation, and on the other hand, it was to make space and time for him. Hu Xiaoying said that "I will not arrange a job for him again", and said that "what you want to do is your work", which actually gave him a lot of free working space and time. He can rely on his ingenuity to do an excellent thing, and only in this way can the leader have a reason to re-propose how to re-use Liang Jian, and even use him in a more important position!

Thinking of this, Liang Jian was a little excited, and he wanted to call Zhu Huaiyu and tell him what he thought. But looking back, forget it, after all, this is just an idea, the fewer people who know, the better, the key is how to do it next.

When Liang Jian went to the bathroom, he saw a stranger walking into the office, and he subconsciously slowed down.

In the office, Li Ju asked who the person was looking for? The man said to look for Minister Zhu. Li Ju asked him if he had made an appointment. He said that he is from the Party Building Research Office of the Provincial Party Committee.

Liang Jian heard their conversation. As soon as he heard about the Party Building Research Office, Liang Jian wondered: Could it be Feng Feng? When I saw him in a hurry just now, I had the impression that this person was about forty years old, with a slightly long face, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, a little weak, and a little tired. Listening to the voice he spoke to Li Ju, it seemed to be similar to Feng Feng on the phone, but he also talked to himself on the phone in the morning, how could he come to Changhu District in the afternoon? Could it be that Zhu Yongliang agreed to publish a draft of the work of cadres in the study of party building?

Go up and say hello and ask to understand what was needed. It's just that Liang Jian suddenly remembered that Zhu Yongliang had told him that he didn't have to worry about this matter anymore, if he went up to ask questions again, it would be really a bit nosy! Thinking about it, he walked to the bathroom by himself!

When he came out of the bathroom, that person was also coming out of Zhu Yongliang's office. Zhu Yongliang sent it to the door and said: "Secretary Feng, thank you very much, it's just that our cadre work in Changhu District is really nothing to publicize, thank you, thank you!" ”

Liang Jian wondered how Zhu Yongliang called "Secretary Feng". This person claims to be the Party Building Research Office, and his surname is Feng, so it must be Feng Feng.

Feng Feng said coldly to Zhu Yongliang, "I'm sorry", turned around and walked towards the elevator. Next to the bathroom, when passing by Liang Jianjian, Feng Feng subconsciously glanced at Liang Jian and asked, "Excuse me, you have a deputy minister surnamed Liang here, where is he?" ”

Liang Jian knew that he was referring to himself, and was about to say "It's me", but Feng Feng suddenly raised his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it." He walked towards the elevator without looking back.

It seems that Feng Feng is behind closed doors with Zhu Yongliang.

Looking at Feng Feng's back walking towards the elevator, he was a little lonely. Liang Jian couldn't help but think: This is a lonely person, a person who has lost power......

When he was about to get off work, the office suddenly notified Liang Jian to attend a meeting convened by the government office. Since Liang Jian was no longer in charge of cadre work, he became a professional household in the congress. Recently, there have been a series of small meetings in the district, and there have been many long and short meetings. Among the leading cadres, there is a saying that I am not in a meeting, but I am on my way to a meeting.

Many meetings have no substantive content, nothing more than to coordinate the work, things that can be solved in a phone call, but all major departments have to sit down to discuss, everyone gossips, the result is that a certain leader said to do this and that, everyone took the order......

Liang Jian didn't mind the representative meeting. Although the congress was a waste of time, it also allowed Liang Jian to hear about a lot of work, from economic analysis, investment promotion, to work for the disabled, non-governmental bicycle races, to family planning, migrant workers' troubles, family disputes, and so on, covering almost all aspects of social life in Changhu District.

On this day, the content of his visit to the congress was a meeting on the clean-up of rural garbage, which was convened by the district government office. When Liang Jian arrived at the venue, it was empty, and none of the participants had yet arrived. Liang Jian was hanging out in the office next to him, and he had an acquaintance in the general department of the district government. When I got to the general department, the acquaintance was not there, but there was a person sitting inside.

After Liang Jian entered, the man also turned to look at him. This person is Feng Feng of the Party Building Research Office of the Provincial Party Committee. Liang Jian was a little strange: Why did this person come here again?

This was the second time the two had met, and Liang Jian nodded at him. Feng Feng saw Liang Jian nodding kindly, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Hello! ”

Xiao Min, a staff member of the General Section of the Secretarial Office, saw Liang Jian walk in, stood up from his position, and said, "Minister Liang, why do you have time to come to us today?" ”

Although Liang Jian is now sitting on the "cold bench", his reputation is still very good in the whole region, especially among ordinary cadres. Everyone knows that the most real reason why Liang Jian sat on the "cold bench" was actually Zhu Yongliang's disappointment. Although Zhu Yongliang is the head of the organization department, everyone's evaluation of him is very average, and they very much hope that he will be promoted to leave Changhu District one day. When Changhu District is dissatisfied with a certain leading cadre, it will say, "I really hope that so-and-so can be promoted immediately!" The word "high" is synonymous with "leaving", the only good thing is that it is more acceptable than "leaving" for the person concerned, and they will not try to take revenge on the person who said this, after all, people are not cursing you, but making you "high".

This Xiao Min from the General Department of the District Government Office has always admired Liang Jian. Xiao Min is about the same age as Liang Jian, Liang Jian is already the deputy director of the Organization Department, and he is still a member of the department, so the gap is not ordinary. Liang Jian is approachable and usually treats Xiao Min as an equal. So, when Liang Jian arrived at the office, Xiao Min stood up and poured tea for Liang Jian.

Feng Feng on the side heard Xiao Min call him "Minister Liang", and he had seen Liang Jian on the floor of the Organization Department before. Feng Feng also stood up and said, "You are Minister Liang of the Organization Department?" ”

Liang Jian couldn't deny it, nor would he avoid it, so he took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with him and asked, "Are you Director Feng of the Party Building Research Office of the Provincial Party Committee?" Feng Feng's tone was almost a little grateful: "That's right, that's right." Minister Liang was so flattered that he would recognize me! Liang Jian hurriedly said: "Where, where, you are the leader of the province, we should be flattered to see you!" Director Feng, who are you waiting for? ”

Feng Feng said: "I'm waiting for District Chief Zhou. Liang Jian's heart tightened, didn't show it, and asked, "Are you very familiar with District Chief Zhou?" Feng Feng said: "I used to know it very well, and District Mayor Zhou used to go to my office every Chinese New Year. Liang Jian was even more strange in his heart, he had to go to Feng Feng's office every Chinese New Year, so he must be visiting! Hearing Zhu Yongliang call Feng Feng "Secretary Feng" before, Liang Jian felt that Feng Feng's identity was a little confusing.

Xiao Min brought the tea to Liang Jian. Liang Jian thanked him and asked, "District Chief Zhou is very busy, right?" Xiao Min said: "Just now, Zhu Xinmao, the former director of the District Organ Affairs Bureau, came to find District Chief Zhou, and District Chief Zhou said that no one should disturb him, unless he called someone in!" Director Zhu went in, it's been almost a quarter of an hour, I think it's going to be soon! ”

Liang Jian said: "Director Feng, since you are familiar with District Mayor Zhou, why don't you make a phone call to District Mayor Zhou, he knows that you are outside, and he will definitely hurry up some time!" Feng Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll wait!" ”

At this time, people in the conference room came to Liang Jian. Liang Jian said: "Director Feng, I'm sorry, I'm going to have a meeting. Feng Feng said, "You are busy." It's okay, I'll just wait! ”

The content of the meeting has nothing to do with the organization department, because the organization department is in charge of cadres, and it involves the implementation of cadre responsibilities in garbage cleanup, so the organization department is also pulled, which is nothing more than to enhance a little deterrent effect. Liang Jian feels that this practice is particularly painful, if this is the case, not all meetings in the future, the organization department will have to participate! After all, everything in the organ has to be implemented by cadres! Which one can leave the cadre?

Liang Jian simply didn't have the heart to listen to the content of the meeting, and his thoughts couldn't help but shift to Feng Feng from the Party Building Research Office of the Provincial Party Committee who he met in the office before! What is Feng Feng's identity? Why did he come to Changhu District?

Suddenly, there was a commotion from outside.

The voice was loud, almost shouting. Everyone at the venue looked at each other and wanted to go out to see what was going on, but the leader who presided over the meeting did not speak, and no one dared to go out.

The meeting itself had little to do with the organization department, so Liang Jian said, "I'll go and see the situation." The host did not object, and Liang Jian came outside the venue.

I saw two people escorting Zhu Xinmao out of the office of the district chief Zhou Qitong. It's not so much an escort as a detachment. Zhu Xinmao was persuaded by people from both sides of the arm, but he couldn't stop, but he scolded loudly in his mouth: "Zhou Qitong, you didn't fulfill your promise, and now someone has messed with me, you don't care." I'm telling you, it's not so easy to understand, if you ignore my questions, ignore it, I'll tell you, I'm not done with you, you wait and see! ”

The person holding Zhu Xinmao persuaded: "Don't be so excited. Excitement won't solve the problem. If you have something to say, Director Zhu, you have to believe that District Chief Zhou will definitely be able to solve your problem. Zhu Xinmao said: "I will give him a month, and if he can't solve it, I will make those unsightly things public." ”

When Zhu Xinmao was taken away, he passed by Liang Jianjian. Liang Jian looked at Zhu Xinmao at this time, and there was a trace of sympathy, this former director and the general manager of the district party committee and district government has now become this pitiful appearance. It seems that power really has magical power, with power you will be infinitely beautiful, without power you will become unwilling. This Zhu Xinmao is a good example!

Zhu Xinmao also saw Liang Jian, with a strange look in his eyes, and then lowered his gaze, and let the two of them leave persuasively!

Liang Jian saw that Feng Feng, under the leadership of Xiao Min of the Comprehensive Office, entered the office of Zhou Qitong, the head of the district. Liang Jian thought to himself, if Feng Feng was very familiar with Zhou Qitong, he should keep his distance from him, no matter who he was in the province!

The meeting is over, and it's time to get off work. It began to rain heavily. Liang Jian drove himself to work today, and since he became the deputy minister, he has a special car, so he can't drive by himself. But if a car is left at home all day long, the car is also prone to problems, so in a week, Liang Jian drives by himself for at least two days, just like walking a dog, so that the car can also come out to move and evacuate the muscles.

Because he drove by himself, Liang Jian was not in a hurry to go home, and no one at home was waiting for him anyway. Liang Jian originally wanted to ask Zhu Huaiyu to have a meal and chat. Zhu Huaiyu said on the phone that he had gone to Shanghai to negotiate investment projects. Liang Jian said: "It's amazing, as the mayor of the town, the circumference of the activity is really expanding, and it is directly zoned to the international metropolis of Shanghai!" Zhu Huaiyu was not ashamed: "Not only, not only, tomorrow I will go directly from Shanghai to Beijing!" Liang Jian knows what is going on in essence about the investment promotion work in the township, half of it is talking about things, and half of it is tourism! After teasing, Liang Jian also packed his things and rushed home.

Halfway through the car, I saw a car flashing yellow on the road in front of me, and someone was standing in the rain with his hands crossed and separated, making a gesture for help. It was raining heavily, and the man was not wearing rain gear, so he was drenched in the rain!

Cars overtook Liang Jian's car without slowing down, and none of them stopped to help the man who was waving for help in the rain. After all, there are a lot of car scams nowadays, and people are more panicked than doing bad things.

This avoidance is also understandable.

When Liang Jian drove closer, he saw clearly, wasn't this person Feng Feng of the Party Building Research Office of the Provincial Party Committee? Feng Feng had visited Zhou Qitong in the afternoon, and Liang Jian originally wanted to avoid contact with him again.

But thinking about it again, if Feng Feng and Zhou Qitong have a good relationship, why are they raining on the road now? Zhou Qitong is the head of the district, and let a person from the provincial party committee get drenched in the rain on the road, is this what the district mayor will do?

Liang Jian stepped on the brakes and slowly stopped in front of Feng Feng. Feng Feng seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly ran to Liang Jian's car.

Liang Jian rolled down the window, Feng Feng didn't see his face clearly, and kept saying in his mouth: "Thank you, thank you!" ”

Liang Jian said, "Director Feng, is your car broken?" ”

Feng Feng recognized that it was Liang Jian at this time, and his face was embarrassed, but when he looked at his car, he really couldn't move, so he said, "Yes, it's broken!" Minister Liang, I didn't expect it to be you! ”

Liang Jian said: "If you don't get in the car first, the rain will be heavy, and you will catch a cold if you get drenched for a long time." Feng Feng looked at it and said, "My car is still here, I have to deal with it." Liang Jian said: "It's getting late, you take out the things in the car and take my car first." Let's find a place to eat, and when we eat, I'll find a friend to drive your car to the 4S shop for maintenance, and it will definitely be open tomorrow! ”

When Feng Feng heard this, he was even more hungry, so he said, "Then it's troublesome Minister Liang!" Liang Jian said: "What's polite, you are the leader of the provincial party committee!" Feng Feng smiled embarrassedly and said: "The tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, where can he be called the leader of the provincial party committee!" ”

Liang Jian heard him call himself "Tiger", and he wanted to know how he could "fall into Pingyang" now!

Liang Jian turned on the air conditioner in the car, so that Feng Feng's wet hair could dry quickly. While driving, he called an acquaintance and asked him to wait at a restaurant, take Feng Feng's car keys later, and then drive the car to repair. When Liang Jian and the others arrived at the place to eat, the friend was already waiting there, he took Feng Feng's key and said, "Don't worry, I'll drive over tomorrow!" ”

Feng Feng could only thank: "Thank you so much Minister Liang." ”

Liang Jian said: "Director Feng, don't Minister Liang, Minister Liang calls me, you are older than me, just call me Liang Jian!" Feng Feng said: "Liang Jian, you are righteous enough, I have made you a friend!" If it was before, I would definitely repay you twice! ”
