At that time, Ye Ming still felt a little disapprehensive about the "sycophancy" of the deputy director of the zhèngfǔ office, and always felt that leading cadres who really had great achievements and great wisdom would not like people who slipped around and patted horses, such as officials like Secretary Lu and Secretary Li, who were very disgusted with the explicit flattery and sycophancy of the cadres below.

But later, he gradually discovered that leading cadres like Secretary Lu and Secretary Li are very few after all, and most leaders, even good leaders like Xu Fei and Zou Wenming, will gather to listen attentively when they hear the good words and flattery of others, and they will also show a happy smile on their faces, and they are the ones who don't like others the most, Secretary Lu and Secretary Li, who don't like others to slap their horses the most, actually hope that their achievements and character will be affirmed and praised by their subordinates, such as the dinner at Secretary Li's house, Secretary Lu was also present, when Xia Bicheng praised Secretary Lu for his knowledge and eloquence, didn't Secretary Lu also show a heartfelt smile on his face.

All in all, leading cadres are also ordinary people, what he does, what he does, what he advocates, and what he advocates also needs to be affirmed, encouraged and praised by others, and no one is an exception to this, so as a subordinate, sometimes you should really figure out the preferences of the leader, summarize the strengths of the leader, understand the merits of the leader, and praise it in a timely and appropriate manner, as long as it is not too sensy and excessive, and, as the deputy director said, do this, It is indeed conducive to narrowing the distance between subordinates and leaders and enhancing the feelings between each other......

It's just that before this, Ye Ming hadn't deliberately filmed any leader's sycophants, and in the face of Zhang Lingzhi today, he was cheeky enough to perform his "sycophant debut......

Fortunately, Zhang Lingzhi didn't seem to think that there was anything too much in his own very explicit sycophants, on the contrary, after hearing him humbly say that his knowledge was compared with himself, that is, the metaphor of "the light of the firefly candle and the rì moon contending for glory", he had a smug smile on his face, waved his hand to Ye Ming very modestly, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ye, too modest, too modest, what the light of the firefly candle, what the light of the moon, it didn't come to such a point, it's just that I am more than ten years older than you, and I usually can't let go of the volume. Accumulate a little more knowledge, think more about some issues, there is an ancient saying called 'accumulate sand into a tower, set armpits into a fur', the famous mathematician Hua Luogeng also has a famous saying, called 'genius lies in diligence, knowledge lies in accumulation' These two sentences are a truth, that is, in the process of learning knowledge, we must work hard, spend a lot of effort, and accumulate little by little, in order to learn something, and I, that is, keep these two sentences in mind, read more books, accumulate a little more knowledge, absolutely not as miraculous as you sayHehe. ”

Ye Ming saw that his attitude had gradually changed, his tone and spirit were much kinder, and he also dropped his bookbag with himself, what "accumulates sand into a tower and gathers armpits into a fur", what "genius lies in diligence, knowledge lies in accumulation", one by one, it really has a bit of a gushing meaning, knowing that his touting tactics have played a little effect, he can't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and took the opportunity to change the topic and said: "County Magistrate Zhang, you know that I am also from K City, and, from my mother's side, you and I are still serious fellow villagers. You can also be considered my real parental officer. ”

"Oh, what do you say?"

Ye Ming said with a smile: "County Magistrate Zhang, my mother is from Mishan Village, Fukou Town, Zijiang County, and from her point of view, I am also from Mishan Village. ”

Zhang Lingzhi had been talking to Ye Ming more and more speculatively, and his impression of him had also improved, seeing that he suddenly climbed up with him, the little good impression he had just had for him immediately dissipated: in his opinion, this kind of behavior of climbing fellow countrymen, pulling relationships, and setting up almost with the leader is the most tacky and old-fashioned, so he hates this kind of behavior, just through a conversation with Ye Ming, I saw that he talked well, and he seemed to have a little knowledge, and he originally thought that he was a relatively handsome and talented young man, as a result, As soon as he climbed to his hometown, Zhang Lingzhi felt that this person's image was short and vulgar, and he could no longer be interested in continuing to talk with him.

So, he said lightly: "Your mother is from Mishan Village, I have been to that place, it is relatively poor and backward, but the scenery is not bad, and the folk customs are quite simple, but we are now studying in the provincial capital, everyone is from Tianjiang, and there is no problem of climbing the villagers again, right." ”

Ye Ming didn't feel the change in his tone, and continued to say according to the train of thought he had set at the beginning: "County Magistrate Zhang is reasonable, but I still think that you are the parent official of my hometown, so every time I see you, I always feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy, because my mother is from Zijiang, so I usually like to pay attention to the news of Zijiang, not long ago, I also saw the newsletter about you in the "K City Rì Newspaper", so in fact, I already knew you before I came to school, And I am also full of reverence for you, the practical and good things you have done for the people of Zijiang, as well as your kind of hard work and dedication to the gods, are indeed touching and admirable. ”

This paragraph happened to scratch Zhang Lingzhi's itch again, the unhappiness he had just had with Ye Ming in his heart immediately disappeared again, after Ye Ming finished saying that, a happy smile appeared on his face again, his eyes stared at Ye Ming, and he asked in a very surprised and expectant tone: "Xiao Ye, you are a cadre in Xinleng County, how could you pay attention to such an article, this newsletter has been sent for several months, and it was posted before I came to study at the party school, how can you remember it so clearly." ”

In fact, this is Ye Ming's second move of tonight's "sycophancy tactics": the first move is to praise Zhang Lingzhi's good knowledge, and the second move is to praise his outstanding political achievements, and these two points are what Zhang Lingzhi is most proud of, so it should be the most effective to choose these two points to win Zhang Lingzhi's favor.

Sure enough, when Zhang Lingzhi heard that Ye Ming actually remembered the newsletter in the "K City Rì Daily" reporting his excellent deeds, he couldn't help but be both surprised and a little surprised, so he asked Ye Ming what he would remember about that article.

Ye Ming hurriedly replied: "County Magistrate Zhang, I don't really like to read those long newsletters, but that newsletter about you, first of all, the title is very attractive, the main title is "The County Magistrate of the Lunch Box", which aroused my interest, and secondly, it is a newsletter describing my mother's hometown and parents' officials, and the deeds on the newsletter are very real and touching, so I firmly remember it." ”
