readx; Shi Lei picked up the cigarette on the table, took out one and handed it to Yang Ming, then picked up a lighter and leaned in to help him light it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the curling smoke spit out of Yang Ming's mouth, Shi Lei's voice suddenly became louder.

"What exactly is a political achievement!? Is it the common people who get the life they want, or is it just a stepping stone for the officials to desperately climb up!? How should political performance be measured!? Is it the accumulation of real praise from the common people, or when the higher-level officials came down to inspect, they saw the big and inappropriate high-rise buildings on the ground, but there was dirt and dirt under the ground!? Is it the dazzling double hundred on the report card of primary school students, or is this child growing up healthily and has the skills to make a living in society!? I used to study, and the book told me that the gold and silver cups were not as good as the reputation of the common people, but now, is the gold and silver cups not as good as the stone tablet carried by the officials!? ”

Yang Ming slowly took the cigarette away from his mouth, raised his eyes and looked at Shi Lei, Shi Lei's words had not stopped.

"Maybe I'm speaking these slogan-like words here today, which seems selfish, after all, I'm running for my father! But am I really just running for office? At least I can tell you with a clear conscience that I ran for office because I saw that the common people would want my father to sit in a higher position. ”

Yang Ming finally stopped being silent, put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, nodded and said, "What you say makes sense......"

Shi Lei smiled, shook his head and said, "Do you want to tell me 'but'?" But you have your considerations, but you have the overall situation, but you have other pressures, but you have to take care of the emotions of other officials, but your work has to be carried out step by step, but you have many, many concerns, but the society is not as simple as I think, but...... I also want to say a but, but, but have you really thought about the common people? ”

"Nonsense! Could it be that we, the officials, have never considered the common people?! Yang Ming straightened his face, Shi Lei's last sentence was intolerable to any official or eunuch!

Shi Lei waved his hand: "Don't be angry, my words may be a little heavy and a little extreme." My question is still there, and you still haven't answered it. I just asked, in the same situation as my father, will you also think about the innocent people in Liuzhou and Qiongzhou as my father did? ”

Regarding this issue, it seems that Yang Ming can only be silent. He is a typical cadre who has risen step by step from the bottom, unlike most officials in his position, who have basically determined the pace of his life from a very young age. Cadres who can become ministers of central ministries and commissions are usually young cadres from the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League or a certain part when they are young, and when they reach their early thirties, they go to the deputy subordinates for temporary training around the age of 40. Before the age of fifty, he returned to the center at the level of the main department, and only later could he see the different efforts of each person. Yang Ming is not like this, he started from a small section member at the grassroots level, and then went to the county to take a temporary post, the county magistrate, the secretary of the county party committee, the deputy mayor, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, the secretary of the municipal party committee, the vice governor, the governor, and the secretary of the provincial party committee.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Ming has a better understanding of what a grassroots official, especially the main responsible cadre, should do and should not do.

It's not about how honest it is, three years to clear the prefect's mansion of 100,000 snowflakes of silver, this old saying is very clear, even if you are a clean official, under the general environment, when you leave office, you will eventually have a lot of money. It is even more normal to arrange for children and some relatives to work or something. If the officials themselves do not do it, there will also be subordinates who overstep their responsibilities, and it is impossible to prevent it at all.

The merits of an official are actually judged by how he uses the power in his hands. Do you do more for this country, this society, or do more for yourself? Of course, there will be no shortage of pure corrupt officials in any era, but they can still rise to the top, but this is always an exception. Most officials speak on the basis of their political achievements, and in this political achievement, there are pure face-saving achievements like Shi Lei said, but most of them are also achievements that benefit the country and the people.

Yang Ming was able to rely on his solid political achievements step by step from the county to the city and then to the province and finally to the central government, according to the logic of the butt deciding the head, his ass has not been biased, which is of course the most important factor, but if it is not really hard, it is absolutely impossible to get to today. Therefore, in any sense, Yang Ming must be regarded as a good official.

But such a good official can't answer Shi Lei's question at all.

If he had to answer, there was only one answer, he didn't think about it, he didn't think about it, he couldn't think about it. is always just a secretary of the municipal party committee, not even a member of the provincial standing committee, so you can't even worry about the affairs of the province, why should you worry about the affairs of other provinces?

But Shi Weixian's situation is obviously different, he has a son like Shi Lei, which leads him to have a better overall view of the situation at the level of consideration of many things, even far more than a provincial party secretary and a provincial governor. Other municipal party secretaries to consider the mess in Liuzhou and Qiongzhou, it will not have any effect except to make people laugh and make the officials of these two provinces hate this person, even if it is a peer who has always stood in the same line as him, he will feel that this person does not know what to do, everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door is not simply the initiative to do it, and the frost on the tiles is often passive and others do not let you care, and the dog and the mouse are not a manifestation of dedication to duty most of the time, but a synonym for grabbing power and even grandstanding. It's just that Shi Weixian has this ability, and he doesn't care what other people think of him, the most important thing is that in this matter, the officials in Liuzhou and Qiongzhou, if they learn that Shi Weixian asked about this matter, and Shi Lei will show his attitude, those officials will never dare to reprimand Shi Weixian for taking a mouse.

So, what if Yang Ming completely equates himself with the comprehensive condition of Shi first? Will he definitely say the same thing as Shi Weixian?

Obviously not, otherwise Yang Ming would have nothing to be silent about. It does not mean that under the same conditions, they will make the same choice, Yang Ming believes that the vast majority of officials, even if they have the same conditions as Shi Weixian, they will never say the same thing. It's impossible to let them say that, even if they say it. After all, what officials normally think about will only be within the scope of their own governance, who will think about it for nothing, thousands of miles away, and even an island province across the strait?

"I'm sorry to make Uncle Yang embarrassed, I don't need to ask to know the answer to this question. My father has many prerequisites that are different from those of other officials, but even if everyone has such conditions, I am afraid that the secretary of the Luling Municipal Party Committee, who will worry about the people of Liuzhou and Qiongzhou, can come out of ten thousand to three or five is a considerable number. I don't really need Uncle Yang to answer this question, I just want to ask Uncle Yang to think about it, since you can still control my father's fate on the official road, why don't you stretch out your hand and gently push him? Perhaps, some things have quietly changed because of your gentle push, and ten years later, this change will become a huge energy! ”

Yang Ming suddenly laughed, reached out and grabbed the cigarette on the table, lit one and said, "You little monkey, don't forget to help your father get an official when you go around." Don't steal the concept with me, today my hand is here, pushing, or not pushing, it has formed a change for some people, and ten years later, this change will always become a huge force. I've heard of the butterfly effect. ”

Shi Lei smiled: "It's not exactly the butterfly effect, for example, although I don't know the candidate for vice governor you originally prepared, but I bet that the person you expected is at least ten or eight years older than my father." Ten years later, it's time for him to take a back seat, your Amazon butterfly flapped its wings, but when it came to the West Coast of the United States, the hurricane and its mother called it home for dinner......"

Yang Ming was amused by Shi Lei, took a hard puff of his cigarette, and gently tapped his fingers on the table twice: "In this way, the position of this vice governor must be given to your father?" ”

Shi Lei pursed his lips: "I can only fight for this, the decision is always yours, in the hands of the above." But I still say the same thing, if you don't promote my father, this lawsuit, I will fight all the way to the central government. I must ask for it! ”

"Aren't you arrogant enough to tell the Standing Committee members on the Xingong side that if your father can't sit in this position, you will revoke all your previous commitments on investment? This is related to the people's livelihood, you have put so many hats in front of me, and I am now forced on the beam! ”

Shi Lei smiled: "You won't believe this kind of thing, if you don't say anything else, my father alone won't agree." Even now, he didn't know that I was helping him run for office, otherwise he would definitely have imposed a grounding order on me, and his phone would have to be confiscated until he was appointed by the Central Organization Department. I will definitely invest in it, not for the sake of officials, nor for my father, nor for you...... I don't want to say such nonsense as serving the country and the people, at least I'm not that great. What I'm doing is just a peace of mind, Nian Guangyu and Dong Changshui have always been pushed down by me, and since I have the ability to bear the trouble they caused, let's bear it. No matter how much money you make, if you don't spend it, it's just waste paper. I feel at ease to be able to spend on this kind of thing. ”

Yang Ming nodded heavily: "At the beginning, they passed the word up, saying that you threatened them with investment matters, and you had to help your father get this official, so I said it, with my understanding of you, Xiao Shilei is not that kind of person." Young people will always have emotions, and it is not strange to say such things. That's it, that's the end of our conversation today, and you invite me to dinner in the evening. ”

"The officials on Xingong's side should be lining up to invite you to dinner, right?" Shi Lei squeezed his eyes.

Yang Ming smiled and said: "I've already told them all to get out, I can't see them in business, and one by one is better than the other." I would be glad to see anyone who would invite me to dinner out of their own pockets, and it would be better to let you, a little rich man, have a treat. In the evening, you call Secretary Huang and Secretary General Cheng, and we will talk about private matters. ”

Shi Lei hurriedly waved his hand: "Uncle Huang is no problem, Cheng Mi will forget it." I have only dealt with Cheng Mi once, and I don't want to be very close, and besides, aren't you also worried that my father will become the king of canvassing after he arrives in the province? I didn't plan to let Cheng Mi and my father get too close to each other, and it was impossible to form a party for personal gain! ”

Yang Ming laughed: "You little ghost, you have a lot of thoughts, the king of canvassing, you can really think of it." And, when did I agree to let your father come to the province? He can't leave now, at least for two years, he must stay in Luling. ”

"There's no need to leave Luling when you go to the province, those who can work hard, I understand!"

Yang Ming was speechless, talking to Shi Lei, no matter how much he paid attention, it was useless, he could always be caught by him. It seems that the best way to deal with Shi Lei is not to speak, but if you don't speak, you can't communicate. Moreover, this kid will do everything he can to force you to speak...... There are few people, and there are two old men, so they drink very little. After eating, Shi Lei said goodbye and left, although Yang Ming has not let go of his mouth now, Shi Lei believes that Shi Wei has already sat on half of his ass in the position of vice governor. For the rest, I have to make some gestures. Moreover, Yang Ming asked Huang Mingxiang to be present by name, obviously not only to find someone to accompany him to dinner, but also to have no personal matters to talk about, so he was basically not too familiar. Yang Ming definitely has to have a comprehensive understanding of the current situation, even if he wants to promote Shi first, he has to go through the procedure, right? It's not something he can say alone. In any case, in addition to this incident, Shi Weixian has something to satisfy the above, this is the key.

Therefore, Shi Lei's early departure also left room for Huang Mingxiang and Yang Ming to communicate. Seeing that it was still early, Yang Ming didn't say that he would see Shi Lei the next day, so Shi Lei simply asked Mei Qing to drive him back to Luling.

For about an hour and a half on the road, Shi Lei did not close his eyes and pretend to sleep as before, but kept making some decisions to the Wudong headquarters of the Stone Group with the phone. For a full hour and a half, Shi Lei spent a total of more than 100 million, and the speed of this money can only be matched by F1 cars.

When the car slowly drove into the compound of the municipal party committee, Shi Lei just saw Shi Weixian's car in front of him, and stopped next to Shi Weixian's car, and Shi Lei's first sentence after getting off the car was to tell Shi Weixian that the first batch of investment on the Luling side would be in place within three days, and the work would be in full swing.

But when Shi Wei heard the news, he didn't show any smile, but was extremely serious, and even shook his head at Shi Lei with some displeasure: "You go in first, I'll look for you later!" ”

When he entered the door, Shi Lei noticed that there was someone in the car, Shi Lei vaguely remembered that it seemed to be someone from China Merchants, but he was not impressed, probably Shi Wei brought him back first to talk about Shi Lei's investment. Now that Shi Lei said that the funds and personnel will be in place within three days, maybe Shi Weixian feels that there is no need to let that cadre stay.

After about ten minutes, Shi Wei first pushed open the door of the study, and Shi Lei was already sitting on the sofa peacefully, still holding a cup of steaming tea in his hand.

"Dad, I've made your tea, it's on the desk."

Shi Wei nodded first, put the bag in his hand aside, then went to the desk to get his teacup, walked to Shi Lei and sat down.

"Just now, I was a cadre of China Merchants, and I originally wanted him to tell you the materials, so that you could implement the funds as soon as possible. You said that I would let him go back within three days, do you need any materials to go through the formalities? ”

Shi Lei waved his hand: "I have the final say in this matter, we are a private enterprise, and we are not your political axe department, how can there be so many procedures to go?" Looking at your expression, you're planning to teach me a lesson, right? Well, what are you going to teach me? ”

Shi Weixian kept his face black, but he was made to cry and laugh by Shi Lei's words, when did the conversation between their father and son become so equal? Shi Weixian didn't seem to be able to put his father's shelf at all. If you think about it carefully, it's no wonder how many sons in the world can vigorously toss Shi Lei's movements? Moreover, he also ran to help his father run for office?

Holding the teacup, Shi Weixian didn't know how to talk to Shi Lei for a while.

It was Shi Lei who stretched out his hand and helped Shi Wei remove the lid of the teacup first: "I covered it after soaking, I can't cover it anymore now, otherwise I will over-soak." Shi Wei took a sip of water first, and then Shi Lei continued with a smile: "Dad, I know what you want to say, but listen to me ask you a few questions first." ”

Shi Wei put down the teacup first, spit out the tea leaves in his mouth into the trash can, and nodded: "You ask." ”

"First, who has the most credit for the matter of Nian Guangyu and Dong Changshui?"

Shi Weixian hesitated: "You." ”

Shi Lei waved his hand: "What are you talking about me?" I'm talking about people in your system! ”

Shi Weixian was still hesitating, and he couldn't say a definite answer after all.

"Dad, you don't call this modesty, you don't know how to fight. Obviously, it is you who have the most credit, which no one denies, from top to bottom, whether it is for you or against you, it cannot be denied. The second question is, if you were to be the deputy governor, do you think you have what it takes to do a good job? ”

Shi Weixian didn't hesitate this time, nodded and said, "I'm still a little confident in this." ”

"Third, excluding all the factors in the rules, do you think that being an official is the best for ability or seniority? Or is there something else that you think should be put first? ”

Shi Weixian didn't say anything, he already knew what the core of all Shi Lei's questions revolved, sighed, Shi Weixian waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't ask, I know what you want to ask." However, you shouldn't go to them for an official anyway, run for an official! even threatened that if they didn't give the official, they wouldn't give investment! ”

"Did I give the investment?" Shi Lei asked, Shi Wei nodded first, "Dad, assuming that this vice governor ends up in the next family, do you think I will really not invest?" ”

"But that's not a reason for you to run for office!"
