Chapter 020: A soldier who surrenders without a fight

Just as I was repeatedly guessing who was going to meet with the undergraduate, I was about to get off work that evening, and the sudden appearance of section chief Fang Shiyuan suddenly made me feel surprised and shocked at the same time, and I secretly complained in my heart about the injustice of the sky? Why did so many cadres in the county arrange him on his head? Why did we meet in a narrow way when there were so many roads in the world? Is this life deliberately playing tricks on itself?

"Ah, the head of the department I was looking forward to seeing was you—" I exclaimed first. "Is it really that there is a shortage of small cadres in this county?

"Hey, just like you, I never thought that the new colleague who was carefully arranged to welcome you would be you?" Fang Shiyuan said with some schadenfreude at the same time. "Ha, ha, I have already said in the provincial capital 'Xinxin Tavern': Don't look at your slight Shaolin martial arts, you have the upper hand in the fight, but in 30 years, when Hexi turns to Hedong, you will fall under my hands sooner or later. How about it? People are not as good as heaven, so I can cash in today. You can rest assured that when you were defeated, you were merciful to your subordinates, and although your nose and face were swollen, fortunately they did not hurt their muscles and bones, and they were able to succeed in their studies in the future; after graduation, they were assigned to the county seat; and they also became a section chief in the administrative organs. You are a little brother, you learned Shaolin martial arts, and you learned so much knowledge in the library of the 'Comprehensive University'; but you learned a little less in the ability to mix the world; and finally ended up in the county seat from the provincial capital, and you are still only an ordinary soldier. It doesn't matter, as long as you go to our Shiyuan, you will always understand what it means to be 'a person who knows the times as a handsome'!"

"Thank you section chief for not remembering the old evils. I also want to teach me how to be a man. I pretended to misinterpret the meaning of the other party's words, so as to say what I wanted. "Don't worry, I'll study hard and follow suit. Before the expected deterrent goal was achieved, Fang Shiyuan suddenly looked embarrassed, and everyone in the room looked at each other inexplicably. But I understand: Although the atmosphere is still calm temporarily, the faint smell of rain will indicate that the storm is coming-I am deeply unfortunate and unwilling to be the "defeated general" Fang Shiyuan who turned around and became the top boss of today's department. Although the first time I met in the department that night, the other party did not show mercy in public, and tried his best to be sarcastic and sarcastic, although I also used witty words to skillfully deal with it, so that the other party did not achieve the purpose of deterrence, and I also saved face and a game. But after going back to the hotel and falling asleep that night, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that this matter was not simple: this was not a meeting, a travel trip, and who to meet, even if there was a conflict of words, it had nothing to do with the overall situation, because no one was afraid of anyone who turned his face. And this is a department colleague and a top boss, in the future, we will have to get along for a long time and work together every day, if the contradiction is not pleasing to the eye, the other party will be difficult for themselves everywhere, so what attitude should I have?

With this question, I went to a tavern on the outskirts of the city that night to participate in the lunch banquet of my middle school classmates Li Yifan and Xiao Chunbai, who were friends of the middle school. Because I had been friends in middle school for three years, and I had a lot of contacts during the four years of college, although it was the first time I met after returning to the county to work, there was not much politeness and foreshadowing between them.

"I remember when I was a child, my peasant parents once told me that we should be like the pines and cypresses on this slope, and we should learn to adapt to the environment and be flexible and mobile with the situation; we should also learn from the domesticated cattle, horses, and livestock, and know how to listen to the shouts and serve as envoys, so that we can eat and drink enough to be less whipped. ”

Because I had already briefly described my troubles on the phone call with my classmates, I went straight to the point as soon as I sat down. "I know that this is the 'slave education' of the honest peasant elders, which is not enough; I still keep in mind the book "Lying on the Salary and Tasting the Courage" recommended to me by my ex-girlfriend Ouyang Lin when I was in college, and the 'dormant philosophy' of Goujian, the king of Guyue, is still desirable under certain conditions. Like my own situation right now. To deal with Fang Shiyuan, the chief of the section who was the top boss of the original vendetta, there are no more than two strategies: one is to pursue the tough guy philosophy of 'who is afraid of whom in modern society', and fight hard with him. You are a section chief, although you have the right hand, but if you command correctly, I will listen to you; if you still make things difficult with your indiscriminate command, I will resist you to the end, and what can I do? If you manage me, you will go to the bureau leader to report and make a judgment. ”

"Yes. I have always kept in mind that most people in this world are accustomed to bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and the more you retreat, the more he will go above your head. Li Yifan, who has always had a tough personality, nodded in agreement before I could finish speaking. On the contrary, if the other party tries to bully you at the beginning, you give him a bite to chew on the mud, believing that he will be afraid of you from now on, and if he encounters another conflict with you, he will seriously consider it. In the past few years, I have been pursuing the 'tough guy philosophy' in the unit, and I advise you not to give in to that broken discipline or anything from the beginning. Hit it hard and see if he can Monet you?"

"No, no. And Xiao Chunbai, who was soft and good at compromise, waved his hand and shook his head and hurriedly stopped him. "Have you forgotten the sayings 'arms can't twist their thighs,' 'eggs can't touch stones,' and 'officials and officials are in harmony'? The result of a hard encounter is naturally still the loss of subordinates and the weak. Since you are a leader, you have a set of instincts to control your subordinates, and they have some methods to punish "people who are disrupting the people": at least adjust your work within the unit directly under the bureau, and at worst, 'assign you to teach in a rural school.'"

Yes, when I was in the county high school, I heard a primary school teacher who worked in the Education Bureau mention this incident. However, this article was later criticized by rural teachers: "Since 'sending teachers to teach in rural schools' is regarded as a punishment for erring cadres, it shows that we are serving hard labor every day." It was only then that the leaders of the Education Bureau adopted the suggestion of the talented people and changed this article to "assign rural schools to work as cooks or cleaners to serve local teachers and staff." Anyway, this is the end of "confrontation with the leadership".

"Therefore, all the cadres who are a little wiser in the future know that 'confronting the leader' is the 'top priority' among the mistakes," Xiao Chunbai continued to add. "Hey, just from the degree of attention paid by the superiors, the mistake of 'confronting the leader' is even more disgusted and valued than corruption or bribery or improper relations between men and women. ”

Of course I know that. I also heard a former junior high school teacher who worked in another county department say: "At present, when the higher authorities promote or adjust the positions of cadres, there is a standard that is not written but is internally mastered: the leadership groups at all levels adhere to the principle of 'rather lacking than rotting'. That is, we must not promote those who are good at internal friction. In the past, there was no conventional procedure for promoting cadres: First of all, it was necessary to check the files and petition the people? If there was a report on the files or from the masses in the original unit that the comrade had a bad record of corruption (or bribery), if the leader wanted to use this person's words, he would say, "The problem of economic subsections is harmless; in the future, it is enough to let him have less contact with money and goods." If the person has a problem with the style of men and women, and the superior or a leader still wants to use it, he will also say in a circle: "A slap does not make a sound." If one party does not agree, will the other party dare? People have seven emotions and six desires, and sometimes the conditions are promoted, but they will not be able to control it; as long as they are not repeated offenses, the impact will not be great, and in the future, let him (or her) have less contact with the opposite sex and will not make such mistakes again. However, if it is found or reported by the leader of the former unit, "the cadre has a 'backbone' and often likes to have conflicts with the leader in the unit." Then the superior concerned will immediately make a conclusion: "Such a cadre cannot be reused." If the bureau level is raised, they will dare to contradict the county leaders"? Often, a certain leader's words may block a cadre's path to progress.

"Hmph, anyway, I didn't have the life to be an official anyway. Li Yifan was quite inferior but said unconvinced. "The waist is straight and stiff, and the eyes are large but not agile, and it is better to break than to bend down and frown. ”

"Hey, Lao Li, who are you scolding?" Xiao Chunbai immediately said dissatisfied. "Because Lao Zhong is facing the problem of encountering the enemy's boss, and he doesn't know how to deal with it, aren't we discussing how to give him an idea?

"I said I was hard-headed, and I didn't say who was slick and single. Li Yifan immediately retorted. "Why do you have to sit down? ”

"Hey, hey, let's both say less. They have been close friends for many years, and the two of you have more contact than me. I hurriedly mediated and said. "Don't let the two of you hurt the peace between you for my sake. But the two argued, "It's nothing, it's nothing." There is a burden to one another. It's just that when you meet an old man, you can raise an idle bar. Out of this house, the wind blows away. No one cares anymore. You can rest assured. ”

Although the "Three Musketeers" had a deep conversation about the wine in the wind at the hotel on the outskirts of the city, they were inspired and benefited a lot by meeting with their best friends from middle school that night, and they were both from other units and did not know much about the internal situation of the Education Bureau; and they were still less familiar with the personality and ideological trends of their opponent Fang Shiyuan, so their suggestions could only be discussed in general terms; although they could not be said to be scratching their boots, they were not very pertinent. In order to truly understand the situation and come up with some panacea for acute diseases, it seems that you still need to start from your side, and undergraduate colleagues not only know the situation best, but also feel the psychological pulse of the opponent so that they can prescribe the right medicine. But as far as a few people in the undergraduate department say, who should they talk to about it?

Let's talk about the young man Hua Jianping first. When I first arrived, I may have heard that he was a graduate of a key university and came from a provincial administrative organ. But once the section chief Fang Shiyuan appeared and learned that the new colleague would be the original enemy of the boss, not only was he busy distancing himself from him, but he also secretly created his own bad public opinion and said: "Hmph, I was restless when I was in college, and I actually injured a righteous student in another school." If you don't like to make trouble, how can you decentralize the county seat from the provincial capital organs?" Such a person is too afraid to take precautions, and naturally he can't find out the truth. Speaking of Hou Deputy Ke and Sister Chen, from the perspective of their ideological system, there is no doubt that they should both belong to the "Third World Lu Realm" within the bureau; However, after all, they have been in the administrative organs for many years, and they have long been exposed to the philosophy of being sleek and sophisticated: On the one hand, they are dissatisfied with the arbitrariness and arbitrariness of the organs of power and the parties; on the one hand, they dare not openly offend the other party, but they speak out against the disadvantaged groups; although they have not tried it, they know that they will not tell them directly. And among the six people on both sides of the undergraduate, including himself and Fang Ke's opponents, only Ye Lan dared to speak out openly for himself. So what exactly will she teach herself how to deal with her former rival Fang Shiyuan?

So, before getting off work one afternoon, I put a note written in advance in a petition material and sent it to Ye Lan in person and said: "Ye Lan colleague, this is a petition material from the school I just received. I have read it and signed my own opinion. You can then archive it after checking that it is correct. And he added: "The middle paragraph of the third page is the key. When he said it, he deliberately hinted at the other party. What a sober brain a girl is, how can she not see what is wrong with it? It must be what message the other party wants to convey to herself? So she immediately opened the third page of the material, and sure enough, a note appeared in front of her: After dinner today, I will be waiting for you at the tower pavilion in the suburban park of Beiguan, and I have something important to discuss.
