Chen Jianglin, the executive vice mayor of Liusha City, the provincial capital of Chunan Province, has been very mediocre since taking office, which has also made Li Jiatao think about such a question: "If you act modestly, as the executive vice mayor, can you still make a difference?" ”

said that the son passed very quickly in the depression of the mean, and Li Jiatao's said that the son lived an ordinary life and was not shocked.

Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, Executive Vice Mayor Chen Jianglin is Li Jiatao's Bole. As everyone knows, Li Jiatao's rash actions have already disrupted Chen Jianglin's series of plans that have been formed, and even made Chen Jianglin anxious!

Ordinary, what is ordinary?

Sometimes Li Jiatao himself can't figure it out, maybe he is just a layman in the second comprehensive department first.

Executive Vice Mayor Chen Jianglin has set the development goal of "one high and two fast", which is to develop an energy-efficient economy, accelerate the technological transformation and upgrading of large state-owned enterprises, and accelerate investment promotion to create new economic growth points.

The Second Comprehensive Department has been working on materials for various relevant deputy mayors all day long, and the content revolves around the "one high and two fast" proposed by Chen Jianglin.

Li Jiatao felt that in fact, Chen Jianglin had just created a four-character goal, which contained some highlights of development ideas that he had written in his previous report to Liu Deming, the former secretary of the municipal party committee.

Leaders are always good at summarizing and refining, and the pen behind them always need to constantly capture new ideas to enrich the ideas of leaders.

Li Jiatao felt that Chen Jianglin put forward such a very moderate development goal, and he must have taken the path of moderation, except for the four words "one high and two fast" are new, and the content is to put old wine in new bottles!

Li Jiatao always had a hunch that Chen Jianglin had not broken out, and he couldn't tell when this critical point was. Perhaps, when Chen Jianglin really makes an all-out attack, it may be when someone suffers.

The Second Comprehensive Department is very busy again, and Li Jiatao is not as popular as before, and even the more reports he writes, the easier it is to be called back and asked for rework.

Director Yan said to Li Jiatao in private: "You just do it behind the scenes, because you have published two deafening articles in the Youth Daily, and your reputation is so good that any leader wants to shock you and find fault with your words, as if he has a good level." ”

Yan Biqing's words were very tactful, at least so that Li Jiatao's face would not be damaged. Li Jiatao was happy to be idle and had no opinions. Although Li Jiatao is not bad at this kind of work, he is not a specialty, and besides, Li Jiatao is not too interested in this kind of work!

The discussion on "one high and two fast" was held several times, and various industries were discussed separately, and almost all the people in the second comprehensive department became typewriters, the materials were endless, and lunch became the only pleasure, and everyone still took turns to entertain guests.

Li Jiatao didn't have a specific task that needed to be written, so he often took the initiative to invite guests, and when he encountered a break in the file, he would look for some small shops with quite distinctive characteristics, and everyone would eat happily and not spend much money.

At the beginning, everyone said that we were busy, and Deputy Director Li also lowered our living standards. After a long time, everyone found that Li Jiatao is like a very researched gourmet, who can make people eat happily and save money.

Li Jiatao said: "This is called sustainable development, everyone has lunch just to tease the boring people together, don't set the specifications too high, otherwise the wheel is too fast, the food chain is easy to break." ”

In fact, Li Jiatao invited the most guests, and the money was not spent. For Li Jiatao, as long as everyone doesn't love him as an imaginary enemy as they did at the beginning, it would be good to keep him away from thousands of miles away, and suffering losses is sometimes a means of progress.

The old director Yan Biqing loves to play mahjong, and often the people in the second comprehensive department are busy until late, and finally finish the materials, and he has to Zhang Luo to play a few rounds of mahjong.

"No matter how busy you are at work, you can't forget entertainment, and only those who are open-minded can live a long and healthy life." These are the original words of Director Yan.

"Yan Zhi feels that there is no rush, the work is like that, everyone still wants to save some energy to work hard, and strive to improve every day." Liu Qingfeng complained to Li Jiatao in private, "Director Li, everyone's eyes are on you, I hope you can lead everyone to progress." ”

Li Jiatao is not uninterested in mahjong, but he is not interested in playing mahjong with Director Yan. The old director always modestly said that he couldn't play, but in fact he was not soft at all when he won money, and when he encountered that he had played the wrong card, he shouted to take it back.

found that everyone always seemed to have seen through Director Lao Yan, and he didn't want to go but had to go, and Li Jiatao felt that this director who had tried his best and had no ambition was actually very pitiful.

To paraphrase a fashionable phrase, Director Yan is not playing mahjong, but lonely.

After a long time, Director Yan played the card game again, and Li Jiatao didn't make excuses and said that he couldn't go if he had something. When encountering three missing one, Li Jiatao will also smile and say: "I am not very good at playing, but I can barely be a fourth person who plays cards." ”

What made Li Jiatao and his colleagues in the second department cry and laugh was that Director Yan couldn't play mahjong at night, so he changed to Zhang Luo "three dozen ha" before lunch dinner. "Three dozen ha" is a very popular poker play in Chunan Province, a total of two playing cards, four people play, one to do the bank, the remaining three to play one. This kind of card land play is similar to double upgrades, and the main thing is to catch points. The difference is that each hand is played with a "seven".

Take turns to call points, and the person with the lowest score sits in the banker. For every five points that the score decreases, the stakes are doubled!

Li Jiatao soon discovered Director Yan's way of making money: every time the last handful of cards, that is, when the food in the restaurant has been served, Director Yan always calls the score to the lowest in one breath, that is, the highest odds of the bet are sixty points!

What makes Li Jiatao cry and laugh is that Director Yan is simply abusing his power for personal gain and playing tricks.

If the cards picked up at the bottom are good, Director Yan will naturally make a lot of money. If the cards picked up at the bottom are too bad, Lao Yan will throw the playing cards in his hand into the middle of the table: "The luck is too stinky, eat, eat." ”

If you win, you want money, and if you lose, you can't afford to lose, Director Yan's gambling is really flattering, but it is very economical!

Later, Li Jiatao realized that this kind of cheating was not the invention of Director Yan, and many small leaders in the office of the organ would use this "method"!

However, Li Jiatao asked himself, Director Yan was still good to him, at least he didn't say that he didn't dare to let him write materials. Some people in the department have reported before that this secretary of the township party committee from Xiaolei County was a treasure at the beginning, but now it is like a poisonous weed, and the more Li Jiatao writes, the more it is refuted by the leaders, which increases the labor intensity of the department.

Director Yan is very protective of Deputy Director Li Jiatao, and always educates these young people under him: "Look at what Deputy Director Li writes, see what professionalism is!" ”

However, anyone can see that what Li Jiatao writes has become more and more unprofessional, and it seems to be deliberately unprofessional.

The city's long-planned "one high and two fast" mobilization meeting finally arrived as scheduled, and Director Yan took Li Jiatao to the venue in advance to prepare materials. Meetings in the city are generally held at the Liusha Hotel, which is a four-star hotel.

Although it is a four-star hotel, Liusha Hotel is very outdated because it is an old building. The conference room on the third floor is an old-fashioned palace-style building, with huge windows on both sides like the city's former glory.

The terrace outside the conference room is a good place to chat, you can overlook Liusha Municipal Axe Square, look at the core of the city, the largest urban green belt, the mood is often much more comfortable.

After making an appointment but smoking a cigarette, Director Yan pulled Li Jiatao and said that he wanted to talk, he actually took out a pack of Furong Wang cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Li Jiatao, lit it and said slowly: "Jiatao, have you been instructed by a master recently, why has your style suddenly changed a lot?" ”

Li Jiatao felt a little funny in his heart, this Lao Yan Director is too honest, but he is always hanging in his heart, he is in the limelight, Lao Yan is worried that it will affect the Second Comprehensive Division, he is too honest, and he is worried that he has ideas in his heart!

"Strict, haven't you changed, don't smoke high-quality white sand and smoke the king of hibiscus." Li Jiatao joked with a smile.

"This cigarette was given by someone else, just in our place, and we can't afford to smoke King Furong in the end." Director Yan sighed, "I'm addicted to smoking, I need more than two packs of cigarettes a day, and if I smoke Hibiscus King, my salary is not enough for cigarette money." ”

Li Jiatao spit out a big smoke ring and said very comfortably: "This Furong King is not so expensive." ”

Director Yan smiled and said: "Yes, when my friend gave it, he said, you see that other tobacco factories are more likely to do business, and they have a red brand, but the price is all high, medium and low-grade, and those who don't know how to do it still think that you smoke this cigarette with grade." How about it, Jiatao, are you also learning to smoke the Hibiscus King, ready to be an elegant and vulgar person? Actually, you don't have to change, you are you. ”

Li Jiatao smiled bitterly: "Director, it's not that I've changed, it's that I've become normal." ”

"Don't force yourself to change in order to fit in with others, even if you try very hard to do things that don't fit your character, others may not appreciate it." Director Yan suddenly came up with such a philosophical sentence.

Li Jiatao thought in his heart, it was not a matter of appreciation, at this time he needed an ordinary environment to keep a low profile, he didn't want to cause trouble for Chen Jianglin, and he didn't want to be called by Chen Jianglin as a gun. Think about it, I can't even endure playing mahjong with Director Yan, what else can't I bear?

Thinking of this, Li Jiatao couldn't help laughing.

"Strict, in fact, there are so many changes in people, maybe I am gradually being understood by everyone. I'm alone, I'm familiar with everyone, and I talk about a lot of things every day, otherwise I'll always be bored and suffocated to death. ”

Director Yan was also happy, and said with a smile: "I don't mean anything else, just ask you not to force yourself, please have dinner recently, play mahjong, you are more active than anyone else, but don't hold back anything and don't say anything." ”

Li Jiatao sighed and said bluntly: "Director, you have observed carefully enough, in fact, I am holding the ground, I used to be the secretary of the township party committee in Xiaolei County, although I am a poor township and avoid the border, but I am busy with things all day. Now, as a deputy director, I have been promoted to an administrative level, but there is a lot of time. ”

Director Yan looked behind him, lowered his voice, lit another cigarette, and said, "It's nothing, I just want to talk to you." I heard from the people in the department that you have been reading microeconomics books lately, and you are not preparing to go to graduate school. To tell you from the heart, it is rare to have such a talent as you in the department, if you really have an idea to say it, although I don't want you to go, but I will not stop you from having a good future. Li Jiatao now understood, Director Yan misunderstood that he wanted to find another job, so he hurriedly said: "Director, you are too worried." I'm now a graduate student at Huaqing University in Beijing, and reading economics books is just an occasional hobby. ”

Director Yan was relieved at this time, and said continuously: "It's rare to have a hobby, it's rare." ”

After a pause, Director Yan continued: "I heard that there will be changes recently, if you encounter something unsatisfactory, you have to calm down. Although it is said that Mayor Chen transferred you in, the smaller the place, the more unpredictable the outcome. I think Mayor Chen is very high-profile in doing things, but he has always been very low-key in employing people. I have also occupied the position of director of the Second General Division for many years, and I am about to retire. Rest assured, before I retire, I will definitely recommend you to the leadership to take over. ”

Li Jiatao was stunned, but he didn't expect Director Yan to say such heart-wrenching words to himself!

"Strict, my qualifications are too shallow, and I became this deputy director, all because Mayor Chen was exceptionally promoted." Li Jiatao hurriedly said, "I really don't have any ideas about progress in the past two years. ”

Director Yan's cloudy eyes stared at Li Jiatao for a long time, with a suspicious expression, but in the end, his lips squirmed for a long time before he said with a smile: "The more outstanding and deserved, the easier it is to end up empty." So, Jiatao, you can get through it first, it's good for you, don't care who leads first. ”

The meeting was very successful that day, and Executive Vice Mayor Chen Jianglin's speech made people's blood boil, especially his statement that "one year to make Liusha City's GDP enter the top three cities in Central China, two years to make Liusha City's per capita GDP enter the forefront of Central China, and three years to make Liusha City's per capita income on par with the level of coastal areas", which made a deep impression on every participant.

Li Jiatao also calculated an account in his heart, Liusha City's economic foundation itself is good, and the population is small but it has large resources such as power plants and mines, and the per capita GDP is easy to enter the forefront.

As for the last statement that it is on par with the average level of coastal areas, it does not specifically refer to special economic zones and developed cities, and there are still mountainous areas in the coastal areas that are in an underdeveloped state, and it should not be difficult to reach the average level.

Chen Jianglin frequently changed the target reference object and reference coefficient, and it was clear that he had a greater ambition hidden in his heart.

"We always say that GDP is the measure of political performance, but what is GDP? We built a bridge, and this is GDP. It's good or bad if it's not built, and it's also GDP to find your own company to tear down the bridge. Open bidding, and the construction of a new bridge is GDP again. Repeating in this way, GDP is increasing, but where is the development of Liusha City? Chen Jianglin was a little excited when he said this, and he also left a deep impression on Li Jiatao.

At the same time, Li Jiatao's heart was also full of questions, these words were not Chen Jianglin, the executive vice mayor, how could he be so in the limelight with Chen Jianglin's stability? Where is Chen Jianglin's confidence?

After Liu Deming, former secretary of the Liusha City CPC Committee, was promoted to executive vice governor of Chunan Province, Sun Daohong, the new secretary of the city party committee, was parachuted in from the capital, and Mayor Qian Chunchao was taken a step forward by the executive vice mayor and now went to the Beijing Party School to study for a month.

Could it be that Chen Jianglin wanted to use Qian Chunchao to study at the Central Party School for a month, and to put Mayor Qian Chunchao in the air during the period when he was presiding over the municipal axe work?

Li Jiatao always feels weird!

After the meeting, when I went back, the people from the second comprehensive department left first, and when Li Jiatao sorted out his things, he found that he actually had two elegant cups!

These two fluttering cups were given to Li Jiatao by Song Hanyan, and I don't know what this little girl was thinking, so she actually gave Li Jiatao a pair of fluttering cups.

Li Jiatao thought about it, and still picked up one of them to go to Director Yan.

When Li Jiatao entered, Director Yan was making tea from his cup full of tea dirt.

"Strictly, I will give you a gift to ensure that it is more grade than the Furong King." Li Jiatao smiled and put the elegant cup in his hand on the coffee table.

Director Yan was very happy when he saw that it was an authentic flowing cup, but he said, "I have a cup here, I don't need it." ”

Li Jiatao said with a smile: "My friend sent a pair, I can't use two alone, it is said that the provincial leaders use this brand, and I put it at home is a tyrannical thing." Strictly you know how to drink tea best, so I'll give it to you. ”

When he said this, Li Jiatao felt that he was a little flattering. However, since Director Yan smiled at it, this shows that the exchange of gifts is of full historical and inheritance significance.

Director Yan is an honest man who will not speak ill of people easily. But Li Jiatao knew that if Director Yan was talking bad about himself from the leaders, even if it was just a little, it would be enough for him to drink a pot! It's very simple, even a subordinate like Director Yan is not satisfied, then this subordinate must be too presumptuous or excessive!

Li Jiatao doesn't need Director Yan to go to the leader to say good things for him, he just hopes that during the work of the Second Comprehensive Department, Director Yan can turn a blind eye, that is, burn high incense!

Li Jiatao endured it in the second comprehensive place, which can conflict with his own surname! The reason why we chose to be low-key is also to make careful preparations for further layout!

Although Li Jiatao is not interested in Chen Jianglin, he even complains, but in any case, in the eyes of most people, Chen Jianglin is Li Jiatao's Bole and a mentor on Li Jiatao's career.

But this does not mean that Li Jiatao can't poke the basket, and he pokes a big basket, which is enough for Chen Jianglin, who is the executive vice mayor, to bear it!
