Chapter 89: Seating
Chapter 89 Seat (First Month Pass) Wen Xiangfeng thought to himself, when I Lao Wen first arrived in the new city two years ago, there was nothing here, I Lao Wen worked hard for two years, and now the new city is beginning to take shape, you Lin Yuan came to pick peaches? If your Lin Yuanfang qualifications are older than me, or the backstage is harder than me, you will pick it up, and I will recognize it. But you are just a twenty-three-year-old little hairy child, if you want to be qualified or not, if you want to have a background without a background, why should you enjoy the country laid by Lao Tzu?
Lin Yuanfang heard the sour taste in Wen Xiangfeng's tone, and knew that Lao Wen was dissatisfied with his coming over to divide power, so he smiled faintly, but he didn't care. He said in his heart, the officialdom pays attention to the city government, implicit but not revealed, you Lao Wen can't even do this, joy and anger are all in shape, no wonder although there is a retired father-in-law who is the deputy director of the county people's congress as a backer, he is still only a deputy section-level cadre in his forties.
More than a dozen cadres from the management committee also came up and called Director Lin in their mouths, and Lin Yuanfang had to shake hands one by one and greet each other.
Seeing that the etiquette had been exhausted, Mo Yuegen asked Zhong Fanmin in an inquiring tone: "Section Chief Zhong, then we ...... now."
Section Chief Zhong said, "Let's go directly to the conference room." β
"Okay, okay." Mo Yuegen stepped forward and said, "Section Chief Zhong, then please." So he accompanied Zhong Fanmin in front, Lin Yuanfang and Wen Xiangfeng were a little behind, and came to the conference room surrounded by the cadres of the management committee.
The small meeting of the management committee was very exquisitely arranged, and after everyone sat down, Mo Yuegen glanced at Zhong Fanmin, who smiled and nodded. Mo Yuegen cleared his throat and said loudly: "Next, I would like to invite Comrade Zhong Fanmin, chief of the Cadre Section of the Organization Department of the county party committee, to announce the decision of the Standing Committee of the county party committee, and everyone applauds and welcomes it. β
There was applause in the room.
Zhong Fanmin opened the document in front of him slowly and methodically, and after the applause fell, he said: "After the county party committee has decided to study and decide, Comrade Lin Yuanfang will serve as the deputy director of the Xincheng District Management Committee. This personnel appointment was made by the county party committee in light of the development of the situation in the new urban area and in light of the needs of the building of the leading body, and was made by the county party committee in a timely and prudent manner. I hope that all the comrades who are doing it will resolutely implement the correct policy decisions of the county party committee, conscientiously comprehend the spirit of the instructions of the county party committee, unify their thinking, concentrate their understanding, unite closely, and work hard for the development and construction of the new urban area......"
"Next, I am entrusted by the main leaders of the county party committee to put forward a few hopes and requirements to you......
According to the usual practice, when the organization department holds a meeting to announce the appointment of personnel, it must make a short speech of encouragement, and Zhong Fanmin has 40 minutes to talk about these hopes and requirements.
After Zhong Fanmin finished speaking, Mo Yuegen took the lead in applauding and announced in an enthusiastic tone: "Next, we have affection, Comrade Lin Yuanfang, deputy director of the Xincheng District Management Committee, will speak to everyone!" β
Another round of applause. Everyone looked at Lin Yuanfang to see what kind of inaugural speech this twenty-three-year-old deputy director would make.
Lin Yuanfang picked up the speech and slowly scanned the venue. It can be said that Lin Yuanfang made careful preparations for his first appearance in front of all the cadres of the management committee, which of course thanks to Fan Yimin's usual teachings to him and the work notes left by Fan Yimin.
Just as Fan Yimin wrote in his work notes about his feelings about becoming the director of the Planning Bureau from chief engineer, the big challenge for him at that time was to get out of the role of a chief engineer as soon as possible, jump out of the thinking of a technical cadre, and consider everything from the macro and complex perspective.
Lin Yuanfang is now also transitioning from the role of a technical cadre to the main leader of the management committee, and his thinking also needs an adjustment and a leap, and he must prepare for it in advance.
Just this inaugural speech, Lin Yuanfang practiced countless times in front of the mirror in the dormitory, including the priority of expressions, gestures, tone, the rhythm of voice and intonation. He even bought a pocket tape recorder to record his speech, and then replayed it to check whether his tone and rhythm were natural, and then made some moderate adjustments to the speech, such as where to add some interjections appropriately, and where to use tone adverbs to modify it, Lin Yuanfang repeatedly fine-tuned until he was satisfied with the effect of his speech.
Lin Yuanfang also took into account all the details he could. For example, when he appeared at the management committee this time, what kind of clothes should he wear, whether it was a cotton jacket, a tweed trench coat, or a down jacket. What style of woolen sweater is accompanied inside, what color is the shirt inside the cardigan, what style of leather shoes are worn underneath, etc. For example, how he should communicate with everyone with his eyes when he speaks, whether his pager is hung around his waist or in his handbag, etc., all these may seem unrelated details in the eyes of others.
But even after making full preparations, sitting here at this moment, facing all the cadres of the management committee, he couldn't help but feel excited, and it seemed that after reviewing the inauguration speech many times, it seemed that it had become unfamiliar.
Fortunately, after the applause stopped, he adjusted his mood in time, his thinking became smooth again, and the carefully prepared inauguration speech naturally flowed into his mouth:
"The county party committee arranged for me to serve as the deputy director of the Xincheng District Management Committee, and I feel extremely happy and honored to be able to live and work with the people of the Xincheng District. Here, I would first like to thank the organization for its training, education and trust in me, and thank Section Chief Zhong of the Organization Department for sending me to my post; I would like to thank Director Mo Yuegen, Deputy Director Wen Xiangfeng and everyone for their warm welcome to me, which touched me deeply......"
After an inaugural speech, except for the empty but necessary clichΓ© at the beginning, Lin Yuanfang's generals did not have a single empty sentence when talking about the current situation of the new city, he was concise and to the point; Talking about the prospect of the future of the new urban area, he combined theory and practice together, and showed the bright future of the new urban area wonderfully.
In contrast, Mo Yuegen, director of the management committee, made a somewhat lengthy and old-fashioned summary speech, which sounded boring and made people feel drowsy.
However, Lin Yuanfang still heard his heartfelt welcome to his arrival in Mo Yuegen's speech. This made Lin Yuanfang feel at ease, as long as the leader of the management committee did not reject him, then he was still very sure of doing a good job in the future.
After Mo Yuegen finished speaking, the handover ceremony was over. At this time, it was already half past eleven, so Mo Yuegen invited Zhong Fanmin to stay for dinner. Zhong Fanmin excused himself a little and stayed. In fact, after sending the cadres to their posts, the following banquet is also a custom. It's just that some feasts are held immediately after the handover ceremony, while others leave the feast in the evening.
The banquet is placed on the opposite side of the management committee of the Song Paradise Restaurant, this is the most luxurious restaurant in the new city, the conditions are not worse than the old city, in addition to the management committee of these cadres often come over, those leaders of Huayi Aluminum Factory also often open a banquet here.
The Song Paradise Restaurant is on the territory of the management committee, and now that the leaders of the management committee are here, they naturally have to arrange to enter the most luxurious box of the restaurant, the Peony Pavilion.
Lin Yuanfang followed Mo Yuegen and Wen Xiangfeng into the box with Zhong Fanmin, followed by the middle-level cadres of the management committee.
"Come on, Section Chief Zhong, please sit down." As soon as he entered the box, Mo Yuegen pulled Zhong Fanmin to sit in the main seat of the guest. Zhong Fanmin was simply polite and sat down. Although his post level is not as high as that of Mo Yuegen, Lin Yuanfang, and Wen Xiangfeng, he is a cadre of a higher-level organization department, and according to the habit of the grass-roots level, as long as he is a person from a higher-level organ, regardless of his position, he will always be called a "leader." Moreover, today Zhong Fanmin is carrying out the task of sending Lin Yuanfang to take office, and he represents the county party committee, so there is nothing to sit on the main seat.
Although Lin Yuanfang participated in this kind of banquet for the first time, he also heard Fan Yimin say that the rules on the wine table in officialdom know that there are also lectures at the wine table, just like the placement of the desk in the office, although there is no explicit rule, but everyone knows which position everyone should sit. On such occasions, everyone will take their place at the wine table according to their own status, neither willing to be inferior nor arrogant. If someone doesn't know how to get in and occupies someone else's seat, it will be a big taboo and will cause dissatisfaction among the whole table.
After Zhong Fanmin took his seat, Mo Yuegen sat on Zhong Fanmin's left. According to the ranking, Lin Yuanfang's position in the leadership team of the management committee is before Wen Xiangfeng, and he should sit on the right side of Zhong Fanmin. But he hesitated, and still gave Zhong Fanmin's right to Wen Xiangfeng, and he was ready to sit next to Mo Yuegen.
Unexpectedly, Mo Yuegen pointed to the opposite side and said with a smile: "Director Lin, you should sit next to Section Chief Zhong." β
Zhong Fanmin also stretched out his hand and patted the vacant seat beside him, and said with a smile: "Director Lin, sit here, sit down!" β
Wen Xiangfeng had a cold face and stood there without speaking.
Lin Yuanfang hesitated and said, "Let's invite Director Wen to sit there." β
Wen Xiangfeng said with a pun: "I have old arms and legs, and I have difficulty moving, so let's ask the young man to sit over." Then he pulled out the chair next to Mo Yugen and sat down.
The atmosphere was suddenly a little delicate, and all eyes were focused on Lin Yuanfang. Lin Yuanfang smiled slightly, didn't say anything, walked over and sat down next to Zhong Fanmin. As soon as he sat down, the middle-level cadres of the management committee sat down one after another according to their respective positions.
