Chapter 11 Seize the Opportunity
Just as Kong Xiangrong was about to answer him, Liu Qifeng's voice came from the stairs, "What the hell is going on?" How did Mao Qiushi do it? He can't do this thing? Where is he? ”
Li Xiaoning glanced at Kong Xiangrong and found that he was still wiping the already very clean ground with the rag even harder, and his empty left hand was not idle, but secretly smeared on his face......
"Holy! This kid is too good at pretending, right? It's really to show yourself in front of the leader, and you don't even want to have a face! Li Xiaoning complained about Kong Xiangrong's approach in his heart, but he secretly wiped a few handfuls on his face. No way, that's the reality. Sometimes, what you really want to do is not necessarily what you have in mind.
"Li Xiaoning, Kong Xiangrong? What are you guys doing here? Liu Qifeng found two people who were squatting on the ground and mopping the floor.
Kong Xiangrong was really good at pretending, as if he had just discovered Secretary Liu, he stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "Report to Secretary Liu, we are cleaning." ”
"Cleaning?" Liu Qifeng frowned, looked at the two of them with stains and sweat on their faces, and asked in a slightly slow tone, "Are you tired?" ”
Although Li Xiaoning didn't like to do this kind of face-to-face flattery in his heart, he also knew that this was an opportunity to express his face, so he naturally wouldn't let Kong Xiangrong take the lead alone, and hurriedly replied: "Thank you Secretary Liu for your concern, don't be tired." ”
Liu Qifeng nodded and said, "You two are called Li Xiaoning and Kong Xiangrong, right?" Good! Very good. It is rare for a dignified son of heaven in an institution of higher learning to be able to do such dirty work so down-to-earth! ”
Li Kong and the others didn't expect Liu Qifeng to know their names, and they were stunned for a while, but fortunately, Li Xiaoning reacted quickly, pursed his lips, and said: "This kind of work is a test for our students who have just graduated and just walked out of school, and it is also a kind of exercise. ”
Liu Qifeng nodded and said, "That's good!" It's good to be able to be so young and not arrogant and impatient, so down-to-earth! After a pause, he continued: "Exercise well, there will be a broader stage waiting for you in the future, the municipal party committee needs college students like you very much, you are the hope of Binhai in the future!" ”
As he spoke, Liu Qifeng stretched out his hand, Kong Xiangrong saw this, quickly stepped forward and held it, and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you Secretary Liu for your concern!" ”
Li Xiaoning also raised his hand, but suddenly realized something, quickly wiped his hand on his clothes a few times and said, "Secretary Liu, my hands are dirty." ”
Liu Qifeng withdrew his hand from Kong Xiangrong's hand, stretched out in front of Li Xiaoning again, and said: "Chairman Mao said that the laborers are the most glorious and the most beautiful, how can they be dirty?" Besides, I used to do rough work a lot, so a little stain didn't matter. ”
Li Xiaoning wiped his hand on his clothes a few more times, reached over and held Liu Qifeng's fair and round right hand, and shook it a few times.
Liu Qifeng gently patted Li Xiaoning's hand with his left hand, and then turned around and walked away slowly, until Liu Qifeng entered the room, Li Xiaoning exhaled deeply and wiped the sweat from his palm.
Kong Xiangrong glanced at him and said, "Okay, this is considered to be in the eyes of the head of Binhai No. 1, and it will be developed in the future, but don't forget my brother, my help to you today!" The jealousy in his tone could not be concealed.
Mao Qiushi trotted all the way into Liu Qifeng's office, he didn't know what was going on, but from the tone of the person who called him, he could tell that Secretary Liu must be in a bad mood now, and he was anxious to see him.
Looking at the panting Mao Qiushi, Liu Qifeng couldn't help but feel a disgust in his heart for the secretary Duan Yonghong arranged for him - rough hair, not stable at all, how can it be successful? In fact, Mao Qiushi was not tired of his appearance, he just deliberately made this panting appearance, in order to let Liu Qifeng understand that he came over as quickly as possible, but unexpectedly it backfired.
"Secretary Liu! What's up to date with the instructions? Mao Qiushi asked anxiously with a slight pant on purpose.
Liu Qifeng was in a hurry to call Mao Qiushi over because there was a very important investment banquet in the development zone in the evening that he needed to attend, but Mao Qiushi didn't tell him, so that he didn't control the time when he participated in an event at noon, and he needed to rush back in a hurry. In fact, this mistake is not to blame Mao Qiushi, it is the mistake of Duan Yonghong, Secretary General of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, but Duan Yonghong is a member of the Standing Committee, and Liu Qifeng is not good because of this little "trivial matter" to embarrass him, so he wants to beat Duan Yonghong by reprimanding Mao Qiushi.
But the scene he encountered in the corridor just now made Liu Qifeng have a new idea, so he didn't mention the matter of the investment banquet first, but said calmly: "When I came in just now, I saw Xiao Li and Xiao Kong cleaning, did you arrange it?" ”
Mao Qiushi didn't expect Liu Qifeng to call himself in a hurry, it was such a trivial matter, and his hanging heart suddenly relaxed, and said with a smile: "Yes, I arranged it." ”
"What do you think?" Liu Qifeng continued to ask, his calm tone couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.
"Didn't think much of it." Mao Qiushi continued to smile and said, "I just think that the hygiene of the office building is a little dirty, and our secretary should play a leading role in it, Xiao Li and Xiao Kong are new college students, and they should also exercise, so they ......."
"Aren't you afraid of tiring the top students of these two prestigious universities? I just saw both of them with sweaty faces. Liu Qifeng said this with a smile, so the dissatisfaction in his heart was effectively hidden.
Mao Qiushi really didn't realize that the No. 1 head of Binhai City was actually very dissatisfied with him in his heart, and said to himself: "What Secretary Liu said is that these current students can't be compared with our generation, all of them are pampered and raised, their bodies are weak and ruthless, and they can't be tired if they do some work." A few days ago, the secretary had a dinner together, and Li Xiaoning didn't drink too much wine, and vomited blood directly. I don't know if it's because of the poor physical constitution or if there is some disease. ”
Mao Qiushi is taking the opportunity to take eye medicine. Don't look at the righteous and awe-inspiring appearance he usually pretends to be in front of Liu Qifeng, in fact, this person has a very despicable personality, especially likes to say bad things about others behind his back, and makes tricks, and his popularity among colleagues is very poor, but he is very good at pretending, his mouth is very sweet in front of the leader, he will do private things for the leader, and from time to time he pretends to be heartbroken to "expose" the shortcomings of some colleagues, so he has won the appreciation of some leaders, including Duan Yonghong, secretary general of the municipal party committee, and was promoted to the director of the secretary's department.
But those who see themselves as leaders are especially fond of their subordinates, and they see themselves as gods. But the two new young people in his department failed to make him feel this kind of treatment, especially Li Xiaoning, who gave him a feeling of not taking himself in his eyes from beginning to end, with his character of retribution, how could he let go of this opportunity to rectify Li Xiaoning?
In fact, these are Mao Qiushi's own psychological conjectures, although Li Xiaoning is not good at slapping horses, but as a newcomer, he is still more respectful to his boss; Kong Xiangrong was even more respectful to him at first, but later he slowly felt his character and personality, and Kong Xiangrong was more well-informed, knowing that Mao Qiushi was not the object of his reliance or emulation in terms of prestige and position, so he gradually distanced himself from him.
The fundamental reason is also that Mao Qiushi's own inferiority complex is at work, he only has a secondary school diploma, and he can mix into his current status at the age of forty with his kung fu in the drill camp, and Li Xiaoning and Kong Xiangrong are both famous university scholars personally recruited by Secretary Liu, they are young and have academic qualifications, which he does not have, he feels a threat, so he uses various opportunities to belittle these two young people.
But Mao Qiushi obviously didn't see clearly which way the wind was blowing, he was Duan Yonghong's descendant, and Duan Yonghong and Liu Qifeng were inseparable, so Liu Qifeng was originally skeptical of him, and Li Xiaoning's group of college students were recruited by Liu Qifeng personally, the purpose was to cultivate his own power, he said bad things about Li Xiaoning, isn't it tantamount to saying that Liu Qifeng's vision is not good? What's more, he is not clever at all under this eye medicine. When these college students came in, they all went through a strict physical examination, how could they have any serious illness as he said?
Liu Qifeng originally wanted to reprimand Mao Qiushi, but as the conversation deepened, he dispelled this idea. Human nature is very strange, and when you don't believe a person, you tend to make extreme guesses in the opposite direction about what he says. Liu Qifeng is like this now, he didn't regard Mao Qiushi as his enemy, but now he feels that he is driving a wedge between himself and Li Xiaoning and Kong Xiangrong with ulterior motives.
Let's not mention that Li Xiaoning is the secretary of the provincial party committee behind him, and Kong Xiangrong is a member of the Standing Committee of the provincial party committee behind him, even the strength of these two people themselves, and after some training, they will definitely be of great benefit to themselves, so Mao Qiushi's discordant approach is obviously to self-destruct himself.
Therefore, Liu Qifeng didn't believe what Mao Qiushi said at all, not only did he not believe it, but he also thought that the reason why Mao Qiushi said that Li Xiaoning was not good was precisely because Li Xiaoning was excellent. He originally wanted to slowly reuse Li Xiaoning and Kong Xiangrong after a while, but now he decided to advance it. It's good to be obscure, but if you tolerate it too much, you will be considered weak by the city government.
Thinking of this, Liu Qifeng nodded deliberately and said, "What you said is true." These young people should exercise well. There's nothing to do with you here, go and call Li Xiaoning, I have something to ask him. ”
