Zhao Changfeng looked at Lao Zhang suspiciously.

Lao Zhang picked up the wine bottle, poured a glass of wine into the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all, then put the wine glass heavily on the table, clenched his fist, and said to Zhao Changfeng: "Section Chief Zhao, do you know that today is the most time I have talked to Corey's colleagues in ten years?" ”

Zhao Changfeng said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, I can feel it." You're usually quite reticent, thank you for being so kind of to me. ”

Lao Zhang said: "Section Chief Zhao, maybe it's fate." Today I actually opened the conversation, so let's talk about it. ”

Zhao Changfeng said with a smile: "That's great, you are a senior in the audit department, and I can just learn some life experience from you." ”

Lao Zhang waved his hand and said, "What life experience?" It should be said that it is the pain of the skin! ”

After a pause, Lao Zhang continued: "Section Chief Zhao, continue the topic just now. Truth be told, even if you audit the truth, things don't necessarily turn out the way you envisioned them. ”

"The best-case scenario, of course, is that the leader adopts your audit results and punishes the auditee for the violation and the person responsible for the violation. However, in many cases, there may be such an inextricable connection between the leader and the auditee, and once you report the truth of the audit, the leader will not be happy, but think that you are blocking him. ”

Zhao Changfeng thought for a while and said, "Lao Zhang, I think this link can be avoided." Because when reporting the temporary surname audit plan, Director Zhou should communicate with the bureau leaders. If the leaders of the bureau have anything to do with the fund management center, they can directly disagree with us to do this temporary audit. ”

Lao Zhang waved his hand and said, "That's what the most stupid leader would do." A truly smart leader will not only support you to audit, but also support you to do so with great fanfare, in order to show his innocence with the auditee. Because a wise leader will never end up with the stupidity of his subordinates. Even if he can keep his subordinates this time, there is no guarantee that he will still be able to keep them in the future, if the behavior of his subordinates occurs in the future, then it is difficult not to associate with the previous shelter behavior of the leader, then this leader is likely to be included in the sight of people with intentions. So these are the things that smart leaders try to avoid. ”

"But you really went to the audit, you went to find out the problem. On the surface, the leader will not protect the subordinate who has a problem, and he will even use some kind of measure to punish the subordinate severely. Speaking of which, this is a bit like spanking in ancient officialdom. ”

"Spanking?" Zhao Changfeng was a little puzzled.

Lao Zhang said: "Section Chief Zhao, haven't you heard that in ancient officialdom, spanking was also a kind of knowledge? ”

Zhao Changfeng shook his head and said that he had not heard of it.

Lao Zhang explained: "In ancient times, not only the government wanted to beat the people's buttocks. Even if the subordinates make mistakes, the superiors will beat the ass of the subordinates, and even Huang Yanjing will use the minister's ass to vent his anger. ”

Zhao Changfeng said: "I've heard of this. ”

Lao Zhang said: "In ancient times, when spanking was carried out, it was divided into a cane supervisor and a cane walker. The cane walker is the person who is responsible for spanking, and the cane keeper is the one who supervises whether the spanker is seriously performing his spanking duties. ”

"For the cane, spanking is a very strong technical skill, because which is more important is in the hands of the spanker, and it can be varied at will, and the mystery is endless. The light ones are unscathed, and the heavy ones are either dead or disabled. In the Ming Dynasty, the school guards in charge of walking sticks had to go through strict training, and then take an examination, and only after passing the examination could they 'hold a certificate to work'. I once read in a book that the school guards were training by tying them into two specimens of cooked cowhides, one filled with bricks and the other covered with rice paper, and then dressed them. ”

"Humanoid specimens full of bricks are used to practice 'light on the outside and heavy on the inside', requiring that the clothes on the outside are not damaged in the slightest, but the bricks inside are broken like powder;

Zhao Changfeng had heard that if he stuffed a little bribe during spanking in ancient times, he could be beaten lightly, but he didn't expect that there would be so much attention in the middle.

Lao Zhang continued: "For those high-ranking officials and dignitaries who have the right to beat their butts, spanking is a profound knowledge. For example, who can and can't fight, who should fight lightly and who should hit hard, all need to be carefully pondered. Otherwise, if one does not fight well, he will be disgraced and dismissed, and at worst, he will be in a different place, and there is no shortage of examples in history. ”

Zhao Changfeng's eyes widened, he picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine for Lao Zhang, held the wine glass in both hands and said, "Come, Lao Zhang, let's talk about it after drinking this glass of wine." ”

Lao Zhang was not polite, took the wine glass and Zhao Changfeng dried it off, wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and continued: "Section Chief Zhao, do you know that although this spanking is a punishment in history, it is similar to today's society. ”

Zhao Changfeng said: "Lao Zhang, I still don't understand this, please tell me about it." ”

Lao Zhang said: "Although the current spanking has different meanings, the mystery of it has been vividly played by some smart people, reaching the peak. ”

"For example, if something happens to a certain official's one-third of an acre of land, then the top boss can't cover it up, and secretly persuades the official to take the blame and resign, and after a year or two, or even a month or two, he quietly arranges another place for the official to hold the same position, which is like the 'method of heavy on the outside and light on the inside' in spanking."

Zhao Changfeng nodded again and again, and said: "Lao Zhang, then what is the 'method of light on the outside and heavy on the inside' in modern officialdom?" ”

Lao Zhang pondered for a while and said: "For example, a certain county magistrate accidentally offended the secretary of the municipal party committee. Not long after, the city party committee issued a document transferring the county magistrate to the party school of the city party committee to arrange for a fifth vice principal to do the work, and added a bracket after the fifth vice principal to indicate that the treatment would not change. This is a typical 'method of light on the outside and heavy on the inside'. ”

Zhao Changfeng stood up, respectfully picked up a glass of wine with both hands, and said happily and convincingly: "Teacher Zhang, I toast you with a glass of wine." Listening to your explanation, I realized that spanking is really a profound science. ”

This is the first time that Zhao Changfeng has sincerely called a teacher after coming to the Provincial Administration of Organs. Including when Zhang Qian told him about the unspoken rules of officialdom before, Zhao Changfeng had never been so sincere.

Lao Zhang waved his hand and said: "Section Chief Zhao, I can't afford this Teacher Zhang, you still call me Lao Zhang." As he spoke, he took the wine glass from Zhao Changfeng's hand and drank it all again.

"Let's go back to our agency affairs bureau and talk about the problem of the fund management center." Lao Zhang put down his wine glass and said, "Section Chief Zhao, if there is anything to do between the leaders of the bureau and Director Wu of the fund management center, then even if you have a problem in auditing." The leaders of the bureau will also use the method of 'emphasizing the outside and ignoring the inside' to admonish, warn, and even remove Director Wu from his post, but it will not be long before Director Wu may be able to appear in a cadre post in the bureau again, and the level is still at the department level. On the contrary, for you, a meritorious person who has found out the problem, the bureau leader may give you a lot of commendation, and even transfer you to the bureau's service management office as the deputy director of the dormitory management office, and let you be in charge of several dormitory buildings in the bureau. ”

Zhao Changfeng also deeply agreed with Lao Zhang's statement, because when he came back from poverty alleviation in F County, he suffered from the rise and fall of the secret and the fall of the method of 'light on the outside and heavy on the inside', and the bureau gave a lot of honors, but in the end he had to go to the finance office as a cashier. Now it is easy for him to follow Zhao Qiang's east wind to climb to the position of deputy chief of the audit department, so will he be punished again by 'light on the outside and heavy on the inside' because of this temporary surname audit?

Zhao Changfeng thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to think about it carefully, inquire about the relationship between Director Wu and the bureau leaders before reasoning, and not be reckless. Although it is said that Zhao Qiang, a super backstage, is supporting him in the back, no matter how powerful the backstage is, he can't forcibly act against the will of the bureau leader.

Zhao Changfeng decided to put aside the problem of the fund management center, and he suddenly remembered another question, from Lao Zhang's words, he is a smart person who is well versed in the rules of officialdom, and how can he still be a clerk in his forties, and he has not taken a step forward in his career? This is very counterintuitive!

"Lao Zhang, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. After listening to your words, I will take a lot of detours in the future! I really didn't expect that our audit department turned out to be a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden! Lao Zhang, I think that with your level, you should definitely not stay in your current position! Zhao Changfeng said.

Lao Zhang sighed and said, "What Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger? I'm going to tell you all these things that I have pain in. If I had understood this ten years earlier, I should have at least been in the position of Commissioner by now, but now, it is too late. Even if I am an understanding person again, the sunset is infinitely better, but it is just near dusk. ”

Lao Zhang sighed, and then fell silent, no matter how Zhao Changfeng opened the topic, Lao Zhang didn't want to say anything more. Zhao Changfeng knew that his words touched Lao Zhang's sore spot.
