Guo Xiaozhou didn't expect that Mai Shangxing asked him to meet at a table tennis club.

Chen Kai, Mai's secretary, was waiting at the gate of the club, and when he saw Guo Xiaozhou's car, he wanted to step forward and open the door for him.

Guo Xiaozhou would not be so blind, he quickly pushed the door and got out of the car, and shook hands with Chen Kai with a smile.

Chen Kai said with a smile: "Secretary Mai has already gone to change sportswear, I heard that Mayor Guo is a master of direct shooting, I chose a pair of butterfly beats for you, you can change to other brands if you don't like it." ”

Guo Xiaozhou's heart moved slightly, knowing that there were not many people who liked to play table tennis during his college years, which proved that Mai Shangxing's work was very careful.

"Hand Sheng, I haven't played for several years, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to accompany Secretary Mai......" Guo Xiaozhou took the racket, unzipped it, and took it out for a gesture, "Good thing." It was wishful thinking that I had such a beat when I was studying. ”

"Secretary Mai doesn't care about winning or losing, he just plays sports for fun. By the way, Secretary Mai is a horizontal board, Stica's beat, arc circle combined with fast attack play. Chen Kai prompted.

"I'll try my best to accompany ......" Guo Xiaozhou also knows that if he is just playing ball, as a Mai Shangxing, if he wants to find a good sparring partner, the provincial team master can pick at will.

Just as some contracts are mostly finalized after drinking, those who are not familiar with it can borrow a drink or a "ball" to familiarize themselves with them and lay a rapport for the upcoming conversation.

When Guo Xiaozhou followed Chen Kai into a ball room, Mai Shangxing had just changed into sports shorts and sneakers and walked out of the locker room, and when he saw Guo Xiaozhou, he waved with a smile, "Here, Mayor Xiaozhou, let Chen Kai take you to change clothes, and I'll warm up first." ”

Guo Xiaozhou smiled and nodded, "I'll be here in a moment." ”

Following Chen Kai to change sportswear and sneakers, Guo Xiaozhou walked into the single room with a butterfly racket.

A young coach-looking man is accompanying Mai to practice on his upstream.

Just looking at the action, Guo Xiaozhou has to admire that Mai Shangxing's movements are very standard, plus the coach feeds the ball in place, the strength, angle, and rhythm are all appropriate, anyway, how to make Mai Shangxing play comfortably can be fed.

Seeing Guo Xiaozhou coming, Mai Shangxing put down his racket and said to the coach, "You let him play." ”

Guo Xiaozhou was not polite, picked up the racket and began to practice with Mai Shangxing.

If the success rate of sparring is alone, Mai Shangxing is undoubtedly more proficient than Guo Xiaozhou, with a low error rate and more chic movements. But as Guo Xiaozhou's hands gradually became hot, he slowly stopped picking up balls everywhere.

Mai Shangxing suddenly smiled and said, "Start a game, three to two wins?" ”

Guo Xiaozhou smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid that I will lose too badly." ”

"That's not necessarily, you're young, flexible, fast-paced, and have good physical strength." Mai Shangxing said very seriously, "My only requirement is that I can't be humble. ”

"I hope you can be humble ......," Guo Xiaozhou picked up the ball, "I'll serve first." ”

Guo Xiaozhou sent a strong sidespin on the first ball, and the angle was quite awkward, and his table tennis serve was a must in college that year. The concealment of the up-and-down spin is strong, the opponent is not easy to judge, and there are angles, speeds and low fox lines, and many people whose strength is higher than Guo Xiaozhou often suffer in the return serve.

Mai catches the first ball on the upside.

But he didn't get annoyed, but gave Guo Xiaozhou a thumbs up, "Xiaozhou, your serve is good." Send another one and I'll try. ”

Guo Xiaozhou opted for side spin for the second ball. Same movements, same angles and power.

Mai Shangxing was really fooled and caught the ball and went to the net.

The club coach next to him was naturally a master, and he repeatedly wanted to open his mouth to remind Mai Shangxing, but Chen Kai secretly stopped him. In the matter of playing table tennis, others are not clear, Chen Kai knows that what Mai Shangxing wants is to relax, and he doesn't care about winning or losing at all.

In terms of choosing sports, the slightly more advanced leaders now tend to golf and tennis fashion, and these sports venues are also social fields and resource distribution centers.

But Mai Shangxing never went to such a place. He felt that he had to deal with all kinds of people at work, which was tiring enough, and he had to wear a mask and purpose during sports, so was it fun to live like this.

However, in table tennis, all the opponents of Mai Shangxing chose to release water without exception. Even if Mai Shangxing saw it and lost his temper a few times, the opponent just disguised it more well, leaving Mai Shangxing with nothing to say.

After McT lost two points in a row, it was his turn to serve. He sent a side topspin, Guo Xiaozhou received the ball high, and Mai went up to a violent volley.

The score is 1 to 2.

Mai's second serve was still a sidespin.

But this time, Guo Xiaozhou received it very well and rubbed it in a hurry. And Mai Shangxing is probably used to being sent to the ball to be killed, and his smashing action has been done, but he found that Guo Xiaozhou received a short ball near the net, rushed up to pounce, and made a mistake.

Mai Shangxing laughed, "Your playing level is average, but the return is sharp." ”

Guo Xiaozhou said modestly: "I am a trick, and I am not martial." ”

Mai Shangxing waved his hand, "Don't be polite to me, just fight as you want, and show your enthusiasm at work." It's your turn to serve. Go on. ”

Guo Xiaozhou chose to spin the first ball, but the wheat went up and went up, and Guo Xiaozhou pulled the ball out.

In the first game, you went back and forth, and Mai Shangxing ate five serves, and finally lost 7-11.

Through this game, Guo Xiaozhou basically figured out Mai's upward ball. His movement skills seem to be very standard, but he can't play in actual combat. Because the sparring partners are usually used to feeding the ball-type game, they always play in a comfortable place, once they find an uncomfortable place to play with Guo Xiaozhou, Mai Shangxing will be confused.

However, in the second game, Guo Xiaozhou deliberately lowered the power of his serve, and the two sides fought evenly, and Mai Shangxing finally won 11-9.

The third game was even more stalemate, the two sides played from 11 to 15 draws, and finally Mai Shangxing ended the game with a side ball, 17-15.

"Haha!" Mai Shangxing, who was sweating profusely, stretched out his hand to Guo Xiaozhou, "It's a good fight!" ”

Guo Xiaozhou deliberately showed a disappointed look, "Secretary Mai's basic skills are too solid, and I can't steal the opportunity." ”

"I think you're still handy, and you don't usually touch a racket, right? If you practice for another two months, I will be the one who loses. ”

"Have I practiced for two months, and you have also practiced for two months, haven't you returned to the original line? What's the difference. ”

At this time, Chen Kai sent two towels.

Mai Shangxing took the initiative to bring it for Guo Xiaozhou, and said while wiping his sweat: "Wash it, go to the back room and sit in a while, I have saved a little good tea here." ”

…………

…………

Fifteen minutes later, Mai Shangxing and Guo Xiaozhou sat in a private room behind the ball room.

"Xiao Zhou, this green tea was planted by a friend of mine on the mountain, and he picked it by himself. You taste it. Mai Shangxing pointed to the teacup.

Guo Xiaozhou picked up the teacup, took two sips, and said with a smile: "Actually, I really want to praise how good this tea is, but I am born tea blind." ”

Mai Shangxing laughed, "I just like your straightforwardness." ”

Guo Xiaozhou took another sip, "I can't say any professional terms, but the tea I drank today tastes a little different than before, and it is very refreshing and ......refreshing."

"If you think it's okay, I'll let Chen Kai decorate it for you later." Mai Shangxing picked up the cigarette on the coffee table, lit one himself, and then pushed the cigarette to Guo Xiaozhou.

"Thank you!" Guo Xiaozhou leaned over and picked up a cigarette.

A few seconds later, green smoke and tea mist wafted between the two of them.

Mai Shangxing suddenly asked: "I read a report in Yunhe City a few days ago, and you mentioned the issue of decentralization in government management. What do you think about decentralization? ”

Guo Xiaozhou knew that this was probably a kind of "assessment", he thought about it, "Employing people without suspicion, suspecting people without suspicion, this is the most traditional way of trust in China, and when used in government management, it is necessary to grasp the big and let go of the small, grasp the general policy and principle, let go and let the subordinates try boldly, don't care about everything." ”

Mai Shangxing nodded, "The highest operating principle of Welch, CEO of General Electric in Country M: "Less management" is "good management". This is the dialectic of management, and it is also the most ideal state of management. ”

"Yes, at present, the management of our government and many enterprises is still far from this realm. According to a recent authoritative survey and analysis: "At every level of Huaxia enterprises, 80% of the time is spent on management, and only 20% of the time is spent on work. "In the management work of some Western enterprises, the ratio of "management" to "management" is 2:8.

"Yes, if our government and businesses are to be more efficient, they must improve." Mai Shangxing took a puff of his cigarette and said, "You must also know what I mean by looking for you." ”

Guo Xiaozhou didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "I heard some rumors, but I don't dare to be sure." ”

"You know, I've always wanted you to come to Wujiang to help me." Mai Shangxing is straight to the point.

Guo Xiaozhou owed slightly, "Secretary Mengmai is very loving, ashamed!" ”

"This year is the year of the re-election of Xihai Province and Wujiang, and there are many cadres to be moved, and Wujiang has an executive vice mayor and a deputy mayor of the non-committee committee. If I want you to come, I must be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, otherwise it will be meaningless to ask you to come. ”

"I'm honestly scared." Guo Xiaozhou was surprised by Mai Shangxing's atmosphere and straightforwardness.

"If I were still in Wujiang, you would be the executive deputy mayor, but there are some variables at present. That's why I brought you to you for your opinion. When Mai Shangxing said this, he reached out and wrenched the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and looked directly at Guo Xiaozhou, "The position of the executive deputy mayor is estimated to be difficult, and the position of the other deputy mayor is certain." ”

Guo Xiaozhou thought about a lot of plots, but he didn't expect the result to be like this. Of course, he wants the executive deputy mayor, the executive vice mayor of the provincial capital city and the ordinary deputy mayor, there is a world of difference. The former goes one step further and is the secretary of the mayor, which is a deputy provincial level; The latter will first become a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and then it is possible to become the executive deputy mayor, please note that it is possible.

The word "executive" means five or six years, or even seven or eight years.

To be honest, if he was just an ordinary deputy mayor, he might as well stay in Yunhe.

Therefore, he said honestly, "Secretary Mai! I think the executive deputy mayor is more suitable for me. ”

Mai Shangxing seemed to have anticipated this answer, he tapped lightly on the coffee table with his index and middle fingers, and in the sound of "da-da" fingers, he suddenly said: "It is not impossible to win this position." But Secretary Liu Gang must be convinced. ”

Guo Xiaozhou suddenly understood. It seems that Liu Gang wants to fight for this position for his own people. As an old leader who wants to take a back seat and a local giant, it is reasonable for Liu Gang to suddenly promote a few people before he retreats. Even if the province has opinions, under the premise of general principles, most of them will not fight with the retired old leaders.

Even if Mai Shangxing, it is not easy for him to directly confront Liu Gang. Moreover, they used to be in one camp, but later Mai Shangxing gradually faded out of the localists.

"I have worked in Wujiang for almost 20 years, and I have an affection for the city. I hope you can think about it and come to Wujiang. Mai Shangxing raised his voice and said: "When you come to Wujiang, you will find that the scenery here is very different. ”

"I'll think about it!" Guo Xiaozhou replied.

When talking to smart people, you don't have to say it too completely, and sometimes you have to play it sharply, because the meaning of the words is often richer and more moving than what you say. For example, the "Secretary Liu Gang" and "different scenery" mentioned by Mai Shangxing contain rich content.

However, Guo Xiaozhou did not think that he had the strength to persuade Liu Gang, nor did he have the capital to make a deal with Liu Gang. In fact, Mai Shangxing came to meet him with an apology. It was also known that he would not accept the position of non-executive deputy mayor. But the higher position of the wheat upward can not give.

At this time, the secretary Chen Kai appeared at the right time, "Secretary Mai, you have a reception task in twenty minutes......

Mai Shangxing got up and stretched out his hand towards Guo Xiaozhou.

Guo Xiaozhou immediately stood up.

The two big hands clasped tightly together.

"Hope to see you again soon."

"Thank you, Secretary Mai."
