When Li Jiatao was busy, Wei Wei, deputy secretary of the district party committee, was busy running relationships.

At this stage, Wei Wei spent half of his energy on work and half on running relationships. The second-in-command of the party committee is not like the second-in-command of the political axe, there is more retreat, but less practicality, and in addition to holding meetings and speeches all day long, he is accompanied by the leaders above to inspect.

Sometimes there are too many people from provinces and cities, and one place has to go twice a week, and when I see the people below, Wei Wei is a little embarrassed.

But there is no way to do this, because this is Wei Wei's different job. Wei Wei is already a little tired of it, and he really wants to have a bigger platform, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, the sky is high and the birds can fly, and he will do a good job.

In order to win such a platform, Wei Wei also spent a lot of effort. Every time he went to a meeting in the province, Wei Wei had to visit his old leader, Lei Tiankong.

Lei Tiankong is the secretary of the Chunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he is also very concerned about Wei Wei.

When Wei Wei was the secretary of Lei Tiankong, Lei Tiankong was only the secretary of the municipal party committee, and a few years later, he became a member of the Standing Committee of the provincial party committee, and Wei Wei also became the second person in the grassroots party committee.

Wei Wei was able to become the deputy secretary of the grassroots party committee, which can be said to be supported by Lei Tiankong. And Wei Wei has this kind of relationship that ordinary people don't have, and he has taken many shortcuts.

Since Wan Zhiqiang went to the Provincial Party School, Wei Wei was keenly aware of the opportunity and blew the wind to Lei Tiankong from time to time, which played a role in squeezing out Wan Zhiqiang.

Now, Wan Zhiqiang has finally been transferred, and the position of district chief is vacant, and how to replace it has become Wei Wei's top priority.

Wei is not in a hurry, and the person behind him is also in a hurry, and that person is Yang Xu, the executive deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the District Party Committee.

Wei Wei never thought that the media criticism incident that Wan Zhiqiang suffered was actually done by Yang Xu. Wei Wei always believed that the incident was either Ou Dongping or Li Jiatao, or a conspiracy between the two of them.

If Yang Xu hadn't told him personally, Wei Wei wouldn't have believed it!

"Why you?" Wei Wei blurted out, and as soon as the words came out, he felt that he was not asking at a high level. Wei Wei originally wanted to ask Yang Xu if he was instructed by others, but as soon as the words came out, it seemed that Yang Xu should not do this.

Fortunately, Yang Xu would not bite the words in front of Wei Wei, but only said with a smile: "The only purpose of me doing that is to create public opinion, let him leave Yuhua District as soon as possible, and make room for you." ”

Wei Wei believes that what Yang Xu said is true!

Obviously, if Wei Wei became the district head, he would definitely reuse Yang Xu. It is precisely because Yang Xu recognizes this that he is so thoughtful.

"He's gone, and that seat may not be mine." Although Wei Wei was itchy in his heart, he said things against his heart.

"If the third child doesn't take the second child's seat, do you want the fourth child to take it? As long as you use Secretary Lei's relationship, you can ensure that nothing goes wrong. Yang Xu kindly reminded Wei Wei not to forget to run more on it.

"Everything can be variable, there are uncertainties." Wei Bu said this on his lips, but he was very useful in his heart. In Wei Wei's opinion, Yang Xu's analysis is not wrong, as long as he uses the relationship between Lei Tiankong, secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, it should be logical to succeed to the throne.

Not long after Wan Zhiqiang entered the party school of the provincial party committee, Wei Wei went to the province to attend a meeting and took time to go to the home of the old leader Lei Tiankong. That time, Lei Tiankong's mood was very good, and he asked Wei Wei a lot of things at work, hoping that he would handle the relationship with the people below, lay a good foundation first, and then look at the opportunity.

Lei Tiankong's words also made Wei Wei very excited and encouraged. Wei Wei naturally understood what Lei Tiankong meant, as long as he had the opportunity, Lei Tiankong would definitely help him.

That time, Wei Wei brought cordyceps sinensis to Lei Tiankong, but he didn't expect Lei Tiankong to give back two Chinese cigarettes before he went out.

Wei Wei knew that Lei Tiankong didn't smoke, but no matter whether he smoked or not, he could give him a cigarette, which was enough to show that Lei Tiankong was not ordinary to him. At least, that's what Wei always thinks.

It stands to reason that Lei Tiankong should have attended and spoken at such a meeting, but he did not attend.

Wei Wei felt that something was wrong, and immediately called Lei Tiankong's secretary Xiao Zhao after the meeting. Xiao Zhao told him that Lei Tiankong was sick and hospitalized in the military hospital. Wei asked what the disease was, and Xiao Zhao said that the problem was not big, but a migraine caused by high blood pressure.

Wei Wei felt that he had to go to the hospital anyway, and after dinner, he went to the neighborhood to buy good supplements and asked the driver to drive directly to the provincial military hospital. When I arrived at the hospital, the doorman didn't let me in, so Wei Wei called Xiao Zhao and asked him to come out to pick it up.

Xiao Zhao should be regarded as his second secretary, so that Wei Wei can also be regarded as the grandfather of Lei Tiankong, secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

In this way, in a leader's officialdom career, I don't know how many secretaries have followed, and how many can really deal with feelings?

After a while, Xiao Zhao appeared in front of him. After saying hello, Wei Wei and Xiao Zhao entered the hospital. Wei Wei has seen Xiao Zhao many times, and thinks that Xiao Zhao is very good and very clever.

Every time Wei Wei met with Lei Tiankong, Xiao Zhao always avoided it with humor. Listen to what should be heard, and resolutely not listen to what should not be heard. This made Wei Wei appreciate it very much, and he felt that Xiao Zhao was much stronger than his secretary Xiao Wu. Even, Wei Wei didn't plan to change to a smarter secretary after the job change.

"Director Zhao, there is no major problem with Secretary Lei's body, right?" Wei Wei finally couldn't hold back and asked.

"No problem, just stay in the hospital for a few days." Xiao Zhao smiled and didn't say much, Wei Wei was also very interested in not asking more. However, Wei Wei was reciting Amitabha Buddha in his heart, and the Bodhisattva blessed Secretary Lei to recover as soon as possible, and don't drop the chain at a critical moment.

When he came to Lei Tiankong's ward, Wei Wei heard the sound of a TV inside, and after entering, Lei Tiankong was sitting on the sofa watching the news. When he saw him coming, he patted him on the sofa and said, "It's different, it's a meeting, right?" Come, sit! ”

Wei Wei saw that Lei Tiankong's complexion was not very good, and said with concern: "The secretary did not arrive at the meeting in the afternoon, and I found out that he was hospitalized when I asked." With that, Wei Wei sat next to Lei Tiankong.

"It's no big deal, it's just that the blood pressure is a little high, and it's okay to pay more attention to your diet." Lei Tiankong smiled a little reluctantly.

Xiao Zhao made two cups of tea, said hello and went outside. Wei Wei saw that Lei Tiankong's mood was not very good, and he wanted to say a few words of concern, but he didn't know what to say. Just after the local news was broadcast, Lei Tiankong said: "The media is so fast now, you have a meeting in the afternoon, and the evening news is reported, it's really fast." ”

"Secretary, you son of man, ward, still have the province's major affairs in your heart." Wei Wei gave a small compliment.

Lei Tiankong sighed slightly and said: "No way, I have been working since I was 20 years old, and I have been through ups and downs for more than 30 years, and I have sprinkled all my efforts on this land, and I have a constant feeling." Let's just go for a walk, the air is better. ”

As soon as Wei Wei heard this, he understood that Lei Tiankong's illness was not only on his body, but also in his heart. Thinking that Lei Tiankong must have something to say to himself, he answered and accompanied him out of the ward.

The environment of the hospital is good, as soon as you leave the ward, there is a large garden, the garden is a gravel paved path, and the lower road is lined with trees and flowers. In the garden in late autumn, the trees are somewhat withered, the flowers and plants are no longer fragrant, but a bright moon hangs high in the sky, and it is impossible to distinguish its age!

Walking to a quiet place, Lei Tiankong said: "It's different, you may not know that the higher-level organization department talked to me two days ago and wanted to exchange me to the plain province or region." To be honest, I'm really reluctant to leave here, but it seems that I can't go. ”

When Wei Wei heard this, he chuckled in his heart, and his head immediately became bigger!

Wei Wei never thought that at this juncture, Lei Tiankong would be transferred!

"What will he do if he leaves?" Wei Wei could see from Lei Tiankong's demeanor that he must be in a flat tone, he was not promoted, and if he was promoted, he would not be so depressed.

Thinking about it, Wei Wei said on his lips: "So that's the case, the secretary of the organization is transferred to the plain province, is it to be the leader?" Lei Tiankong shook his head: "What hand?" It's flat. ”

"Does the organization want you to make a transition, and then arrange to be the leader?" Wei Wei still asked without giving up.

"No way. If there is such an arrangement in the organization, I will not be exchanged to other provinces. It is estimated that in two years, it will be time to enter the National People's Congress or the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. ”

Wei Wei felt a kind of sadness in life from Lei Tiankong's words. If Lei Tiankong is not transferred, he is very likely to become deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and even governor in next year's election. As long as Lei Tiankong is all the way, Wei Wei will naturally use the light to illuminate the way forward!

However, the reality is always so ruthless, it will not only affect Wei's different careers, but also affect many people who follow him.

Lei Tiankong seemed to think that the elders sitting on the pyramid had gathered a lot of cronies below, and many cronies gathered below them, and when they went down layer by layer, they reached the bottom of the tower, forming a huge group.

Maybe the members of the group may not be familiar with each other, and Lei Tiankong may not know who is in the whole group below the second and third floors, and he doesn't even realize that he has formed a huge bureaucratic system because of himself, and he is with him.

In fact, not only him, but every high-ranking official is like this, and there is a huge shadow behind him that even he can't see!

The transfer of cadres from province A to province B, the transfer of those from province B to province C, and the transfer of cadres from province C to province D are, to a certain extent, a move to control the overall situation, which invisibly stages the chain of this group. This is a good thing for cadres from a macro point of view, but it is a very regrettable thing for members of interest groups.

This is the case with the current Wei Wei, he is not only uncomfortable for the frustration of the old leader Lei Tiankong, but also sad for his own hopes!

"About you, I have greeted Secretary Sun of the Liusha Municipal Party Committee, and asked him to take care of it more. If you can successfully become the district mayor this time, it is good, if you can't, don't worry, you are still young and have opportunities. Lei Tiankong seemed to understand Wei's different thoughts, and said slowly.

Wei Wei's heart suddenly flashed with a ray of light, and he immediately said: "Thank you, secretary, you don't forget to care about my affairs before leaving, I really moved." I can have today, all thanks to your care and support, no matter what the situation is in the future, I will never forget your great kindness. ”

"It's different, you've been with me for many years, I can't talk about your great kindness, I still have feelings, I always want to grow faster, that's the truth." Lei Tiankong sighed.

"I don't know much with Secretary Sun of the Municipal Party Committee, and I don't know if people are willing to help with this." Wei Wei asked further tentatively.

Lei Tiankong sighed: "The person is very good, this time you have time, you go to find him." ”

Wei Wei's heart was a little steady, but he felt a little cold. Afraid that Lei Tiankong would catch a cold, Wei Wei hurriedly said: "It's cold outside, don't get cold, secretary." ”

"Then let's go back." Lei Tiankong nodded noncommittally.

This night, Wei Wei had insomnia. Wei Wei felt empty in his heart, as if he had lost something valuable. Wei Wei knew that what he had lost was Lei Tiankong's protection.

In the past, when he had it, Wei Wei didn't think it was very important. Now that I've lost it, I realize how important that shelter is to a person's growth, he can let you go around the bend and go straight to the highway.

In this society where human affection is more important than anything else, sometimes external factors can directly determine internal destiny. In this society where human affection is more important than anything else, sometimes external factors can directly determine internal destiny.

Wei Wei once again filtered the words that Lei Tiankong said, and from his words, he felt a kind of sadness at the end of a hero, and also felt that he was powerless. It seems that the relationship between Lei Tiankong and Song Qingming, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and even Governor Zhao Dongfang and other members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee is not necessarily good!

If so, then the possibility of Wei Wei's promotion is very slim, otherwise...... No matter what, Wei Wei still wants to visit Sun Daoming, the secretary of the municipal party committee. The first time I visited the secretary of the municipal party committee, I definitely couldn't go empty-handed. However, what kind of gifts to bring, and how valuable to bring, is a headache.

Wei Wei lacks an understanding of Sun Daoming's surname and hobbies, and he doesn't know whether his appetite is big or small. The courtesy is heavy, and I am afraid that he will not accept it. The courtesy was light, and I was afraid that he would be unhappy. Also, is it to send him money directly or give him gifts? How much money to send? How much will I give?

Gift-giving is easy to say, but in fact, there is a lot of knowledge in it. It's good, it's a coincidence, and you can get twice the result with half the effort. If you don't send it well, if you don't send it well, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

Among them, the most important thing is to grasp the characteristics of the other party and know what he likes the most. Some like money, some like color, some like antiques, and some like calligraphy and painting.

The problem is that Wei Wei didn't know Sun Daoming's preferences at all, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't decide what to send!

When the meeting was held the next day, Wei Wei was still thinking about this matter, and suddenly felt that he should call Sun Daoming, saying that he wanted to visit him after the meeting, and if it was convenient, could he tell him the address of his home?

This is undoubtedly a signal, and once Sun Daoming replies, you can see his attitude. If you tell him the address of your home, it means that he is willing to accept your gift. If Sun Daoming asked Wei Wei to go to the office, it meant that he didn't want to accept the gift. If he said he was busy and refused, it means that he didn't take his own affairs to heart.

"I have something to do tomorrow morning to go to the provincial party committee, and I have a party tonight, if you end the meeting early in the afternoon, you can come to my office to talk. If it's too late, forget it. The information revealed in Sun Daoming's words was limited, but it was quite enthusiastic, which made Wei Wei feel happy.

Wei didn't think about it, so he naturally decided to visit Sun Daoming's office in the afternoon.

When you think of going to visit, you inevitably think of gifts. The first time I visited, it was too cheesy to give money, so I could only give gifts. Wei Bu thought about it and felt that the gift could not be too cheap or too expensive. It's too cheap and makes the other party feel insincere. It's too expensive and what to do if it's rejected?

The volume should not be too large, so that outsiders can see that it is not good. After eating at noon, Wei Wei asked the driver to go to the street together and entered the most prosperous shopping center on Renmin Road.

At a glance, there is a wide variety of goods, everything is available. Wei Wei chose a men's Rolex watch, which was also expensive. When Wei Wei didn't pay, he also chuckled in his heart, knowing that another sum of money flew away from his hand. This money is not his, it is only taken from small officials, and it is used by big officials, and he just plays the role of a transit station.

Wei Wei knew that there were not a few people like him among the officials, and he would receive a little when he should receive it, and send a little more when he should have given it. If you don't receive or send, you can only stay put.

Wei didn't want to stand still, he wanted to climb, so he had to follow the crowd and follow the rules of the game.

Coming to the office of Sun Daoming, secretary of the Liusha Municipal Party Committee, Sun Daoming was busy on his desk.

"Good secretary." Wei Wei took the initiative to say hello.

"It's different." Sun Daoming glanced at Wei Wei and said very enthusiastically, "The meeting is over?" ”

"After finishing in the morning, I came to report to the secretary in the afternoon." Wei Wei said very respectfully.

Sun Daoming asked the secretary to make Wei Wei a cup of tea, and then sat down and said, "It's hard to work at the grassroots level. ”

"Hard work is a little hard, but it can also exercise people, I hope you will give more guidance in the future." Wei Wei became more and more respectful.

"I was going to go to Yuhua District to have a look, but I haven't been free. Later, I will arrange a trip. Have you been to see Secretary Lei this time? Sun Daoming nodded noncommittally.

As soon as Wei Wei heard Sun Daoming talk about Lei Tiankong, he knew that he was going to touch the topic of the real surname, so he said: "I heard that Secretary Lei is sick, and I visited the hospital last night, even if my blood pressure is a little high, it is fine." ”

"That's good, that's good." Sun Daoming still said unhurriedly.

"It seems that this transfer has touched Secretary Lei a lot." Wei Wei said tentatively.
