When he was about to get off work, Tao Tang called Lu Qi on the phone.

"Zhou Hongyou summoned me yesterday, what a big official." When he said this, Tao Tang looked unhappy.

"Is it a company move?" Lu Qi accurately guessed the reason.

"Correct. For the relocation, does the company have a formal and clear organizer? ”

"Political Research Office. Mr. Song once designated the Political Research Office to study the relocation issue, but I don't know if there are any results. At least at my level, I haven't heard of it, let alone had a meeting. After the initial excitement and confusion, Lu Qi can now face Tao Tang "calmly". But Tao Tang's psychology still confused her, or she couldn't guess Tao Tang's mind anymore. Her feeling was that he was a stranger to him than she had met for the first time.

"Political Research Office......" Tao Tang muttered, "What do you say about this Director Sheng?" ”

Lu Qi's heart moved, "This ...... I shouldn't have been asked. She once commented on Sheng Guangyun in front of Tao Tang, and she seemed to have no scruples at that time, why has it changed now?

"Lu Qi, do you know what my biggest feeling is?" The bell for getting off work had already sounded, and Tao Tang seemed to be interested.

"I don't know."

"Let me tell you, it's loneliness." Tao Tang smiled lonely, "It's a little arrogant to be cold in the high places, but I really feel this way." It's that feeling when every decision you make has the potential to affect the lives of thousands of people. Oh, and if you're not in a hurry to get home, let's talk for a few minutes. ”

Lu Qi nodded, and then asked, "What about you?" What do you do when you eat? ”

"Easy to do. When did you join the party? ”

"It's just inexplicable!" Lu Qi looked at Tao Tang and said for a long time, "2001 ......"

"I was earlier than you. I'm 96 years old. Do you often read the party constitution? ”

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Qi was inexplicable.

"I watch it a lot, really. You're feeling like you're in a nervous situation right now, right? Tao Tang smiled.

"It's the first time I've heard that there are still people who read the party constitution." Lu Qi answered honestly.

"Party spirit is conscience. The party constitution is not only the party's constitution, but also the standard of life. Party members reviewing the party constitution are regarded as mentally ill, either socially ill or party ill. Since it is a ruling party with 80 million members, the influence of its party constitution should be amazing, and it should penetrate into every corner of our lives like the Analects. Most of the people I meet every day are party members, and you should be the same, how many people are in the planning department? What is the percentage of party members? ”

"33 people, 24 official party members, 1 reserve."

Tao Tang sighed, "Yes, but we can't feel the difference between party members and the masses. The topic is far away, Lu Qi, I have always been a good friend of you, the kind of friend who can make friends. What you say will affect my judgment and will not affect my judgment. ”

"I think Director Sheng's level is quite high."

"That is to say, there is one, and morality does not dare to protect."

"What do you think is the minimum standard of virtue?"

"Loyal to the business."

"Then I think Director Sheng can be trusted. Why don't you say faithful to you? ”

"When I am loyal to the enterprise, he will not be loyal to the enterprise."

"How can you say that you are loyal to the business?"

"Good question. Subjectively, it's inward. But no one knows. I don't think it is possible for Song Yue and Yang Wenhuan to openly say that they betrayed the company. But objectivity can always be tested, and even if the current interests are inconsistent with the long-term interests, there will always be a relatively fair conclusion, even if it will take several years. I remember when we were children, there was a secretary Chen in the factory, right? My dad always shouts behind his back that Chen has a big belly......"

Lu Qi nodded, "Remember." My dad thinks highly of him. ”

Secretary Chen brought running water to every household, and he also introduced heating to the bungalows. My mother always remembers Director Chen. That's word of mouth. However, Director Chen is running a people's livelihood project, which is easy to get the support of the masses. There is also a director of the factory, who is your own family, who has not paid the workers a single salary, tightened his pants and put on the gearbox production line, built three large workshops, bought hundreds of equipment, and even went to the steelmaking furnace. The 8,000-tonne-per-year furnace is still there...... Two days ago, I asked for the factory record to read, and the record of Director Lu is very brief, which I think is not fair...... In my opinion, Director Lu's contribution to Red Star is no less than that of Secretary Chen. But ordinary people don't necessarily think so. In my experience, employees can share the fruits of reform, but it is not easy to share the costs of reform. I have been working in Shengdong for 44 months, and it is said that there are still many people who scold me, it doesn't matter, I have a clear conscience. When I read the party constitution, I really thought, am I not doing what I am doing? The conclusion is no. So I was justified and pretentious. There was a big quarrel with the investigation team...... Ha ha. ”

Lu Qi was taken aback, "Really investigated you?" ”

"It's impossible not to be investigated. The key question is whether you can stand up to the investigation. After all, there is no such thing, and real-name reporting may not be true. The sadness is that there is no equality, even if it is a false accusation. Have you heard of anyone who has been prosecuted for false accusations? At least I haven't. ”

Lu Qi didn't know what Tao Tang was going to say, or was he just complaining to himself? So she didn't answer, and the conversation fell silent.

Tao Tang flipped through the phone book and dialed Sheng Guangyun with a landline. When waiting for Sheng Guang to arrive, Tao Tang said, "In terms of duties, this matter should not be managed by the Political Research Office, but should be operated by you." Have you done any research on this before? ”

"Nope."

"To start the study. This is a truly long-term plan, and it must be carefully studied from policy to reality. I will explain to Liu Xinjun, you don't have to be embarrassed. This matter may not be in charge of you, I want to hear the results of your research, not to speak with detailed data, just from the intuition or macro judgment so, moving, or strategic reorganization, what is the advantage for us, what is the disadvantage? ”

"I'm afraid I can't do this. Because the level is too high. ”

"No, truth is often simple and obvious. Just like the highest level of management is simplicity. Complexity and professionalism are by no means characteristic of management. And I think you have a good eye......"

Li Zhibin knocked on the door, "Mr. Tao, Director Sheng is here." ”

"Invite him. You get off work, you don't have to wait for me. Tao Tang said to Li Zhibin.

Lu Qi stood up, and Sheng Guangyun, the secretary of the board of directors and director of the Political Research Office, who followed up, greeted him, "Mr. Tao, there is nothing else, then I'll go back." ”

"Okay. Director Sheng, please take a seat ......"

"Mr. Tao, do you have something to do with me?"

"Well, it's off work, there's nothing urgent to do, right?"

"No, no."

The secretary of the board of directors and the director of the political research office in front of him was a thin middle-aged man with dark skin, and the joints of his hands resting on his knees were protruding, more like manual laborers.

"You were a soldier?" Tao Tang noticed Sheng Guangyun's sitting posture.

"Yes. I worked in the army for 14 years. ”

"Transferred to the factory? What year? What level? ”

"'97. Director of the Political Department of the Regiment. ”

"Oh. In which units have you worked in the factory? ”

"1. Secretary of the branch of the third branch, Propaganda Department...... In 07, the Political Research Office was established, and now it ......"

"Oh. Lao Sheng, I heard that your department has taken the lead in studying the relocation of the company? ”

"Not leading. Research is limited to the Office of Political Research. Launched last year. ”

"The materials are out?"

"Very immature......

"Has the team studied it?"

"Nope. Only Mr. Song has seen it. ”

"Let's talk about the conclusion."

"Our conclusion is that from the position of Red Star, it is not appropriate to relocate."

"Why?"

"Because the relocation does not solve the development problem of Red Star, it brings more problems."

"Oh. Lao Sheng, I'm a little hungry, why don't we find a place to eat? I'm in for a treat. ”

"It's an honor."

Tao Tang got up, changed into civilian clothes, cleaned up the materials on the table and locked them into the filing cabinet. went out and found that Li Zhibin was still there.

"Didn't you get off work?"

Li Zhibin didn't say anything.

"What about eating? Why don't you come with us? Tao Tang looked at the young man.

"No, thank you, Mr. Tao."

Tao Tang and Sheng Guangyun left the office building, "Lao Sheng, is there a quiet restaurant nearby?" ”

"That's better to leave the factory. There is one outside the east gate. ”

"Let's go."

After walking for 20 minutes, I found a small noodle restaurant outside the factory gate, Tao Tang ordered three cold dishes, two vegetables and one meat, old vinegar peanuts, cucumbers and elbow flowers, and then asked for two bottles of two or two pots.

"The total amount is lump sum." Tao Tang handed Sheng Guangyun a bottle. Sheng Guangyun silently unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a big sip.

"Don't drink it yourself, come, let's touch one."

"Thank you, Mr. Tao......" Sheng Guangyun took another sip.

"Lao Sheng, have you filled out the questionnaire?"

"Answered."

"What do you think is the main problem for Red Star right now?"

Sheng Guangyun has been pondering the issue of relocation, but he didn't expect Tao Tang to put aside the topic just now.

"The problem of cadre style."

"Why?"

"If we don't change the current cadre situation of the company, everything else is empty talk."

"What are the aspects of the cadre style problem?"

"Vulgar, lazy, loose, soft...... Then there's pie nature. Oh, maybe the words are inaccurate, I can't think of more accurate words for a while. ”

"Pie? It's been a long time since I've heard that word. Why didn't I feel it? ”

"I'll feel it later. Unless you turn a blind eye. ”

"Why don't you say **? Isn't Red Star's ** serious? ”

"Corruption is superficial. Factionalism and laziness are also**, and they are invisible**. ”

"That's right. But it's hard to solve. Lao Sheng, what do you think? ”

"I often think about my days in the army...... To be honest, I miss it very much. I have served as an instructor and an instructor, and eighty percent of the company's combat effectiveness is reflected in the cadres, and the company commander and instructor are excellent, and the company's combat effectiveness is basically no problem. It's enough to choke on the other hand......"

"Well said. In fact, it is the same truth for any organization. ”

Sheng Guangyun's face was already red, and his already dark face was purple, "Mr. Tao, I didn't expect you to invite me to drink, and it's in this kind of place." Did you know? I heard that you went to eat in the big cafeteria, and told my wife that there is hope for the red star now......"

Tao Tang didn't speak, raised the wine bottle, and touched Sheng Guangyun.

"My wife doesn't think so. Oh, she's not from our factory, she works as a cashier in a Walmart supermarket, she said, who wouldn't pretend for a few days? ”

"Haha, that's a good point. Looks like I'm going to have to put it on. ”

"I can't argue with that. Then a question came to mind, why did something that was originally very ordinary make a mysterious fuss instead? You are the factory director and you are single, shouldn't you go to the canteen to eat? Why do you want to eat small stoves in small tricks? ”

"Very well said. For your sake, I'll drink a big one. Tao Tang drained most of the remaining half of the wine in the bottle in one gulp. Seeing this, Sheng Guangyun also killed his share, and then coughed violently.

"If you don't drink, you would say that? Hey, two more bottles! ”

"You don't invite me to drink, you don't invite me to drink in this place, I guess I won't say."

"Why?"

"I wanted to be in the army until I was old. I was reluctant to take off that uniform. But I was kicked out of the army! ”

"Why?"

"Because I exposed the logistics department's tricks in repairing the barracks. The problem of the logistics department was investigated, and I also took off my military uniform and changed jobs. Mr. Tao, my family has a heavy burden, my parents are farmers, and my children are born with disabilities, so I can't help but be worried. ”

"Yes, yes, no one lives in a vacuum. Lao Sheng, now you are the secretary of the board of directors and the director of the Political Research Office. In the cadre sequence of Red Star, you belong to the executives. What does this mean? Explain that your concerns are untenable, at least not completely. I hope that you will put aside those unnecessary worries, rejuvenate your military style, and maintain the enthusiasm of the past...... Especially for me, I have to point out the mistakes in my work unceremoniously, and I must not be a good person. What did Confucius say, nostalgia, right? Actually, it's a very bad person. ”

Mr. Tao ...... You're right in your criticism. I'll punish myself......" Sheng Guangyun stood up.

"Forget it, you don't drink it, and I won't drink it either. Let's eat. Waiter, two small bowls of noodles. By the way, you can give me your copy tomorrow. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Tao, for your criticism. I'll do my best. Sheng Guangyun stood up, "There was something I didn't dare to say just now, now I'll say it." Mr. Tao, the employees of Red Star have no problem, they are the best employees. But there is a problem with the cadres of the Red Star. The problem of Red Star is not only a problem of style, but also the best in employing people. Over the years, a large number of bastards have been promoted, and people's hearts have been scattered...... Since you asked me to give my opinion, I hope you will get rid of a group of bastards like Quan Jianhe! ”

"Take your time. Lao Sheng, I don't completely agree with your opinion. What we need to do is not only to get rid of those who are incompetent and those who violate laws and disciplines, but what is important is to make bad cadres better. That's the cure. Lao Sheng, thank you for chatting with me. Let's eat. ”
