Wang Baoyu took out the painting from the paper tube, and while carefully unfolding it, he said: "This is the work of the daughter of the art master Zhen Peiyi, and she is a rather arrogant artist. ”

"Oh! Master Zhen's daughter, her artistic attainments must be extraordinary. Meng Haichao's eyes lit up, he leaned down, looked at the painting carefully, saw the words on the back, and said humbly: "This is really a fallacy, people are public servants, and it is appropriate to do something for the people." ”

"This is the voice of our people." Wang Baoyu opened his mouth and came.

"Xiao Wang, talk to me in the future, don't talk about these falsehoods, you have to be real." Meng Haichao reminded that Wang Baoyu also felt that his sycophants seemed to be a little too much.

Meng Haichao looked at it for a while, and said with appreciation: "Master Zhen's daughter's work is really impressive, the lines are clear, the pen is solid, and the blank space is handled very delicately, especially these faint hills behind, which set off the infinite height of the artistic conception, which is wonderful, it is indeed a rare good product." ”

Wang Baoyu admired it in his heart, Meng Haichao's appreciation of art is really extraordinary, and if he was himself, he really couldn't say so much, so he could only subjectively judge whether it looked good or not with his eyes.

"Secretary Meng, it's hard to find a bosom friend, if the author knows that you give her such a high evaluation, she will be very happy." Wang Baoyu said.

Meng Haichao smiled and said, "Xiao Wang, can I tell you a story?" ”

Wang Baoyu was stunned for a moment, he was not a child, what kind of story did he listen to, but he still nodded blankly, and only listened to Meng Haichao say slowly: "In the past, Gongsun Yi, the prime minister of Lu State, he had a characteristic, that is, he especially loved to eat fish. When everyone heard the news, they sent him all kinds of fish, but he refused. Xiao Wang, do you know why? ”

Wang Baoyu smiled and said, "Maybe you don't accept gifts." ”

Meng Haichao smiled, and then said, "That's pretty much it." Gongsun Yi said, I now have an official salary in this position, and I can buy fish to eat, but if I eat the fish you sent, then I have to do something for you, and if I make a mistake and lose my official position in the future, then I will have no money to buy fish to eat. Therefore, it is precisely because I have to eat fish for a long time that I will not accept the fish you give. ”

Wang Baoyu heard the meaning of the words, his face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "Secretary Meng, I don't mean anything else." I really have nothing to express my heart when you lift me up like this, so I asked for a picture for you. ”

"Hehe, Xiao Wang, don't be nervous. I liked this painting very much, and I wrote my name, and since it is the sincerity of you and the artist, then I will accept it. Meng Haichao stood up and said.

Wang Baoyu hurriedly rolled up the painting carefully, put it back in the paper tube, and gently put it on Meng Haichao's desk, but his heart was fluttering, or the leader spoke at a high level, whether he accepted the gift or not, or said that he did not accept the gift but still accepted the gift, and everyone could say a lot of words that could not be faulted.

I only heard Meng Haichao say: "Xiao Wang, it must have taken a lot of thought to ask this kind of artist to come to me for this painting!" ”

Wang Baoyu laughed straight, it seemed that his little trick had already been seen through by Meng Haichao, he scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Secretary Meng is really wise, and I have been grinding with her for several days. ”

Meng Haichao said seriously: "Xiao Wang, you don't have to think about anything, you don't need to learn from others, the key to studying and figuring out the psychology of leadership is to cultivate solid work ability, only in this way can you be competent for more challenging jobs." If you think about it, as long as you make achievements, everything is a natural thing, and no one else can say anything, right? ”

"Well, Secretary Meng, I have taken your words to heart, and I will definitely not disappoint you." Wang Baoyu said respectfully.

After chatting casually, Wang Baoyu walked out of Secretary Meng Haichao's office and let out a long breath, dealing with such a big leader, you still have to learn more skills, and you still can't solve the fundamental problem just by giving gifts and sycophants.

The next morning, Wang Baoyu received a phone call from Jin Yongtai, the head of the organization department, and Jin Yongtai was very happy to hear it, and he told Wang Baoyu that he had submitted the report on the election of Wang Baoyu to the post of director of the county party committee office.

Wang Baoyu also felt that the promotion to the director of the county party committee office was very dramatic, after all, the two supervisors had done their own work, and it should be an ironclad matter. For a while, he was a little happy and danced, and invited his future subordinate Zhou Baitong and other three ** generous people to the next hotel.

The landlady Li Keren didn't mention the mannequin to him again, and of course Wang Baoyu wouldn't take the initiative to mention it, but the two of them had another heterosexual massage, and they were very comfortable with each other.

A week later, as soon as Wang Baoyu entered the office, he felt that the atmosphere in the room was not right. Zhou Baitong and the other three actually stood up together, and their attitude towards themselves was unusually respectful. As soon as Wang Baoyu was about to pick up the cup, Zhou Baitong took the initiative to pour water, and as soon as he smoked a cigarette, Dong Qi quickly stretched out the lighter, and only then glanced at the newspaper on the table, Shi Lihong immediately handed it over respectfully.

"What the hell are you three doing! What are the intentions? Wang Baoyu raised Erlang's legs on the table and asked while smoking a cigarette.

"Hey, hey! Deputy Director Wang, you can do it this time. Zhou Baitong said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Wang Baoyu asked again.

"Do you know who the newly arrived director of the county party committee office is?" Zhou Baitong asked mysteriously.

"How can I have you well-informed, tell me about it!" Wang Baoyu was happy in his heart, looking at the appearance of these guys, it was probably because his appointment as the director of the county party committee office had been decided.

"It's you......" Shi Lihong stammered a little, Wang Baoyu just wanted to say how I don't know, but Shi Lihong gasped and picked up...... Fellows. ”

"Is it my fellow countryman?" Wang Baoyu hurriedly put down his legs and asked with a surprised expression.

"That's right! It turned out that Cheng Guodong, the director of the government office, was transferred to the director of the county party committee office, isn't he your fellow countryman? Dong Qi asked.

Wang Baoyu was stunned, he couldn't have imagined that Cheng Guodong would actually become the director of the county party committee office and become his top boss. I've been busy for so long, and it seems that it doesn't work!

"Hmmm! He is my fellow villager, and when I was the director of the Agricultural Office of Liuhe Town, he was the secretary of the town party committee. Wang Baoyu said with a wry smile.

"That's it! In the future, Deputy Director Wang will not have to worry about whether he is promoted to the title or submits a report. Zhou Baitong said with some envy.

"Deputy Director Wang, in the future, in front of Director Cheng, I hope to have a lot of good words." Dong Qi saw that Wang Baoyu's cigarette was extinguished, and took the initiative to come over and light a cigarette.
