Lu Qi went directly to her parents' house and told her father about the incident. She was worried that her father would ask her to explain two things clearly, the first was the relationship between Tao Tang and Secretary Lu of the Municipal Party Committee, and the second was the relationship between Tao Tang and herself.

She couldn't explain the first thing, and the second one was even more unclear.

Fortunately, the father, who was surprised but soon seemed very happy, only asked the first thing. Father Lu, who went to the retirement activity center every day, heard the story of the second sewage station, but the old man didn't believe it, thinking that there was a lot of false rumors, and asked Lu Qi, Lu Qi couldn't say clearly, she didn't know more than her father, but Secretary Lu didn't need to doubt that Secretary Lu supported Tao Tang, which was enough to prove that the two had an old relationship. Just now, when Tao Tang informed her that Lu Wei might be selected as Secretary Lu's secretary, she casually asked this question, but Tao Tang didn't say anything. Fortunately, Father Lu didn't ask the second thing, which made Lu Qi feel relaxed.

At that time, the old man was watering the flowers on the balcony, and when he heard the news, he was at first happy, and then he became serious.

"So, Xiao Wei is likely to be the secretary of Secretary Lu of the Listing Committee?"

"It's just possible. That's what Mr. Tao said. Lu Qi pondered his words, "The reason why I told me is that I think we want us to bring a message to Xiaowei, so that he can be prepared ......."

The father's joy vanished, very quickly, "Do you think he can do it?" I've heard that that errand is not so easy to do. ”

"In any case, this is a rare opportunity for Xiao Wei......" Lu Qi still couldn't help the excitement in his heart, "Xiao Wei has been worried about his work for a long time. ”

"Yes, yes......" Father Lu handed the plastic watering can to Lu Qi, "You can give him a call." Let him come back. ”

Dinner was eaten at his father's house, and the old lady called her son-in-law back from the card table, and Fan Yongcheng was even more excited when he heard the news. Say yes, great, this is really a great joy to celebrate. Fan Yongcheng took the opportunity to suggest some good wine in the evening, but he didn't like to drink.

Old man Lu, who was waiting for his son to come back, put down the newspaper in his hand, "I see that you are all happy, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that this matter is not necessarily a good thing." ”

"How is it not a good thing? Dad, you're an old brain. Pessimist. Fan Yongcheng handed over a cigarette and lit it for his father-in-law, "Don't worry about Xiaowei's ability." He'll do it. ”

"Why do people want to change secretaries? Have you ever thought about it? At least it shows that Secretary Lu is not a good person to serve. With Lu Wei's casual temperament, is it appropriate? If you can't do it, it's better not to do it! I've said many times that people are self-aware. ”

"You're an old brain! Yongcheng is right. The old lady came out of the kitchen, "Yongcheng." Give Xiaowei another call. If it's still early, let's have dinner. ”

"Let's wait for him, I'll have to talk to Xiaowei in the future. Do you know what to call him that position? Chief No. 2! The power is terrifying, and just knowing Secretary Lu's whereabouts is enough to make people stutter. Fan Yongcheng smiled and took out his mobile phone to call his brother-in-law, and then reported to his mother-in-law, "It's soon, I'll be back soon, I've already entered the factory." ”

"Yongcheng. I'm going to criticize you a few words. Old man Lu lowered his face, "Your idea just now is not right." What is it to stammer? Not to mention that he hasn't become the secretary of the secretary of the listing committee, but he has been, what do you have to do to talk to him? Well? ”

Fan Yongcheng still smiled, "Dad, I'm not joking." ”

"You, who are brothers-in-law, set an example for him. I've heard that you've found a lot of holes in this external quality audit, right? ”

"I can't say that I stabbed the basket...... It's just that there are more nonconforming items than in previous years. That's because it's not allowed to make up classes, so you can't blame us ......"

"I shouldn't have made up classes in the first place!" The old man's voice sharpened, "Although I haven't worked in the quality department, I know what you do." It's just fake and deceitful...... Don't want to forge ahead! If you have trouble at work, how can you still have time to play cards? ”

Lu Qi felt that her father was a little too much, and hurriedly spoke for her husband, "He has been working overtime recently, and he just stopped a little." Dad, you're too strict, aren't you? ”

"And you! I was about to talk about you! The old man pointed to his daughter again, "Now you are also a leading cadre, deputy director level, not low, and you are not young anymore, the children are in high school, what do you do to be beautiful......

Lu Qi couldn't cry or laugh, "Not to mention that the administrative level of the enterprise has been canceled a long time ago, does beauty have anything to do with the age level?" ”

"Why doesn't it matter? In the eyes of the people, you are the leader. Is the leader dressed up like words? Recently, I heard that the party committee is preparing a document on rectifying the work style of cadres, and it has made clear that it is not allowed, and this is the right thing to do, and it is long overdue! I heard that your classmate wears work clothes and rides a bicycle to the workshop every day and eats in the big canteen with the workers, this is what a leading cadre looks like. You have to learn from others......"

Whenever his father sacrificed his own magic weapon, Lu Qi felt disgusted. That's right, disgust. She lamented that her father's generation had been completely abandoned by the times, and that the moral norms and social values advocated in the past had actually disappeared, but they were clinging to it, just like planting flowers and plants in concrete slurry, which is inviable. It's nice to be able to keep the bottom line now...... But she knew that she was not convinced by her father, "Dad, people are the number one!" I'm just a deputy director of the planning department......"

Speaking of work clothes, Lu Qi is annoyed, she is the most concerned about wearing, but recently the company issued a notice requiring all personnel to wear work clothes "correctly" during working hours. In the past, Lu Qi basically did not wear work clothes except for going to the workshop (very little) and participating in all middle-level conferences. Her overalls are always hung on hangers in the office.

"If you can do it, why can't you? If I were Mr. Tao, I would have to deal with you severely. Lu's father glared at his daughter.

"Dad......"

The doorbell rang, and Lu Wei finally returned, thank goodness.

It was already half past ten when they came out of their parents' house, and Lu Qi and Fan Yongping rejected Lu Wei's offer to drive them home and walked home.

Summer has arrived, and it is a great pleasure to walk on a summer night on Red Star, especially when the wind blows the leaves, which always reminds Lu Qi of the Russian scenery, although she has never stepped out of the country. The Department of Development and Regulation has the opportunity to go abroad, and the current four leaders of the Ministry of Regulation. Except for her, they have all gone abroad on business.

If there is a chance to go abroad and there is a choice, Lu Qi will choose Russia, and take the train across the Trans-Siberian Railway. She will not be lonely during the journey of a few days and nights, and she will patiently and carefully enjoy the scenery of Russia. More than a decade ago, Lu Qi was madly fond of Russian literature, reading every work he could buy: Tolstoy's, Turgenev's, Dostoevsky's, Pushkin's. And Sholokhov's. In contrast, she liked Sholokhov's "The Quiet Don" the most, especially the first volume of the first book on the life of the Cossacks before the war. She found out. The Red Star Factory, where I have lived and worked for more than 40 years, has a certain Russian characteristic: wide and clean streets, dense and well-groomed trees, and a more leisurely pace of life than in the city...... This feeling is especially strong when you go out for a walk in the evening.

A couple of children on mountain bikes drove past them at a gallop. Leave a string of laughs.

"Xiao Yue went to school...... Fan Yongcheng said.

Lu Qi didn't say anything.

"Mr. Tao didn't tell you anything else?" Fan Yongcheng asked.

"No ......"

"After the sewage treatment station thing. It is rumored that the relationship between Mr. Tao and Secretary Lu is not ordinary...... I listened to what Mu Qingyun said...... I didn't expect Mr. Tao's face to be so big......"

"It's just a suggestion, and I just have a glimpse of it." Lu Qi said in a low voice, "Moreover, what my dad said is not unreasonable......

Just now, Lu's father solemnly pointed out his son's misconduct, which made Lu Wei, who was in excitement, very embarrassed. Father Lu pointed out solemnly, don't be happy too early, if you are not competent. It's going to end badly, it's better now.

"What your dad said doesn't make sense. But it's not bad at best. Fan Yongcheng said. As far as I know, that position does not require much advanced professional knowledge, such as writing materials, not to mention Xiaowei's writing, the key is that the leader does not want his personal secretary to engage in written materials. Just look at our factory, did Li Zhibin write something to Mr. Tao? The real big drafts are all written by the leaders and written by the Political Research Office. That position, what you want is loyalty and alertness, these two are enough! I look at the small weft line. ”

"Even if you're right, loyalty and alertness, which one is enough?"

"Let's start with loyalty. It's not that you think you're loyal, it's that the leader thinks you're loyal. Why did Secretary Lu change his secretary? Did his current secretary betray him? Not necessarily. The point is that Secretary Lu thinks he is unreliable. Why did Secretary Lu ask Mr. Tao for someone, because he trusted Mr. Tao. What Mr. Tao recommended, he can also trust, at least for now. As for being alert, how many years has Xiaowei been in the municipal party committee? Haven't eaten pork and never seen a pig run? This aspect is much better than us, don't look at him going home and smiling, that's his family. I can assure you that this is not the case with him in the unit. ”

"You trust him. If it's really like you said, why is he making a fuss about changing jobs? At least it shows that he is immature. ”

"Maybe it's a little bit immature. But at the moment it's the pros rather than the cons. Fan Yongcheng said firmly.

"Oh? What is the rationale for this? ”

"The deputy secretary-general surnamed Bai doesn't like him, right? Think about it, since Secretary Lu opened his mouth to Mr. Tao, with their status and status, this kind of thing is by no means a joke, and it will definitely be taken seriously. What should Secretary Lu do next? Normally, I will definitely inquire about Xiaowei's situation. Do you think Secretary Lu heard Xiao Wei's top boss praise Xiao Wei or belittle him? "Fan Yongcheng is kind and instructive.

"Praise for good, of course. Would it be nice to hear bad things about him in the organization? ”

"You're right, exactly. Why did Secretary Lu ask Mr. Tao for someone? Because he doesn't trust the people around him. It's like Mr. Tao came to Red Star alone, do you think he will trust his deputies? He'd rather trust you than those people. In the same way, therefore, when the surname Bai gave Xiao Wei bad words, it helped Xiao Wei, only the cadres they didn't like, Secretary Lu was relieved to stay by his side. ”

"What kind of theory are you......?"

"What I say is the truth, the truth of officialdom."

"Bragging rights, it's the truth." Lu Qi is already very familiar with her husband's set, "You know so much, why can't you make progress by squatting at the department level?" ”

"Knowing more doesn't necessarily mean doing better. I'm just going to talk to you about that. Furthermore, knowledge and competence are only necessary conditions, and opportunities are more important. Compared to me, Xiaowei's opportunity is too good. Idealism stresses life, materialism speaks of opportunity. There is no chance, even if you are only high, and you have a fart? What military exploits will a general in peacetime make? Didn't Li Yu become a prisoner and be able to write those small orders that fascinated you? Let's talk about Xiaowei, if there is no Secretary Lu airborne Pingquan. If Secretary Lu hadn't had a good relationship with Mr. Tao, I would have seen him finish in this life, and it would be completely utopian for him to think of any real job below. If you don't have a good relationship with the leader, you still want to get a good job? Dreaming. But that's how the opportunity comes, and sometimes pie in the sky. If Xiaowei does a good job, three years, at most three years, at least a deputy county level with real power, in my opinion, it is more profitable to be a deputy county magistrate or deputy secretary below than to stay in the city. By the time our Xiaoyue University graduated, Xiaowei was already calling for wind and rain in the Pingquan officialdom. Don't look at it as a deputy director, it's much stronger than a vice president of our factory. It's true that Red Star is a big factory, even if it's the number one, it's nothing out of this wall......"

"You're thinking far ahead...... Let's talk about it now, I don't know if this will happen. Lu Qi also felt moved.

"I think it's going to work out 80 percent. Think about it. Mr. Tao is unfathomable. Terrible. When the thing is done, you must ask Xiaowei to thank others. Just now you said that you should not be in a hurry right now, even if people are not rare, attitude, attitude is the most important, you know, this matter must be done by him personally, you can't do it for you. "Speaking of which. Fan Yongcheng was worried, and his tone was sour. "Speaking of which, Mr. Tao is really good to you, you have to admit that he is completely looking at your face......" He immediately thought that his wife must have a private relationship with Tao Tang, otherwise how would Tao Tang know about his brother-in-law's situation?

Lu Qi heard her husband's sour taste, and was shocked, and then calmed down, "What are you talking about?" It's like I've done something nasty behind your back. I did talk to Tao Tang about Xiaowei, but I didn't expect him to remember it...... Don't think about it, he's just for the sake of his old classmates, and for him, it's just a matter of effort. ”

"You couldn't be more wrong to think that!" Fan Yongcheng said solemnly, "In my opinion, President Tao's officialdom has extremely deep resources, how can he not understand the operation rules of officialdom?" Officialdom pays attention to the exchange of interests, Secretary Lu's request for help from Mr. Tao is actually an illusion, with Secretary Lu's respect, where will there be a lack of a secretary? In my opinion, this matter is Secretary Lu's overtures to Mr. Tao, or to repay Mr. Tao's debts. As for Mr. Tao, he gave a huge fortune to Xiaowei, how can it be said that it is a gesture? Who do you think, who can't he give it to? Even if you can't be a personal secretary, it is a great honor to let the secretary of the municipal party committee remember the name, and it was when the secretary of the municipal party committee first came. Let's talk about your Xiaowei, even if this thing can't be done, Secretary Lu remembers him, for a section-level cadre like Xiaowei, Secretary Lu is God, thunder and rain and dew, completely in God's thoughts. I can guarantee that even if Xiaowei can't get on the job as he wishes, Xiaowei's job will be settled, and I think this matter is nine out of nine. Therefore, Xiaowei must not be grateful to Mr. Tao. I don't think we need to be reminded of this truth based on our experience. ”

"How can I hear it too cheesy? Who do you think people are like? ”

"Vulgar? Vulgar to the extreme is elegant. Think about it, why did Secretary Lu want to find Mr. Tao? ”

"By the way, you just said it must have happened? Why? ”

"Under what circumstances did Mr. Tao tell you about this? Tell me about it? ”

"It's afternoon, about a little past six o'clock, Yan Shuzhen and I just came back from shopping, and his car came back from outside, came down and told me...... That's what I just said at home. ”

"With Mr. Tao's identity and character, I won't tell you anything I'm not sure about, don't you think? It is estimated that people have already talked about this matter before, Mr. Tao must have gone to the city to see Secretary Lu today, and happened to see you, so that you can tell Xiao Wei to be prepared, so as not to catch him off guard. ”

"Hey, character, what kind of character is Mr. Tao? I'm not sure. Lu Qi smiled. She felt that what Lao Fan said was very reasonable, and she was happy for her younger brother.

"Plan before you act. To say something disrespectful, it's a bit yin. ”

"I don't think so. I have attended more meetings than you have in his meetings, and I don't think there is any 'yin', on the contrary, I think he is very upright. ”

"How can the words of the meeting be counted? If you believe what the leaders will say, I'm afraid you will be wrong for many years. Fan Yongcheng sneered, "Don't look at you as classmates, but your resume determines the difference in your realm." What Mr. Tao pondered in his heart, even his most trusted subordinates may not talk about it, how can you know? ”

In an instant, Lu Qi thought of several conversations with Tao Tang, including the evaluation of several high-ranking officials, including the Ren family...... The coldness she produced in an instant was dispelled by a warm flame, he was good to me, otherwise, why did he say something for Xiaowei? (To be continued......)
