Chapter 12: The First Draft

After returning to the office and sitting on the chair, Li Xiaoning noticed that his fingers trembled slightly, which was caused by excitement. He couldn't help but get excited. Although entering the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee is a very glamorous thing in the eyes of outsiders, Li Xiaoning knows very well that the deeper the water in this kind of place, over the years, the young people who came in with blood did not know how much they had drowned. Wu Bo in this department is a good example, he is still an ordinary clerk for four years, and he is basically in a half-dead state.

Taking a basic salary of 3,000 yuan a month and waiting for death is definitely not Li Xiaoning's wish. He is very clear about his goal -- since he has chosen to enter politics, then he must make a difference in the political arena, and to put it bluntly, he wants to climb up. How to climb up? Anyone who knows a little bit about officialdom knows that ability is very important, but this is not the main condition, and the main thing is that the leader must appreciate you. Before this, Li Xiaoning was still a little worried, because the secretary looked beautiful on the surface, but in fact, there was no leader at all, so naturally there was no opportunity to contact the leader, let alone be appreciated by the leader.

What he never expected was that today he accidentally met Liu Qifeng, secretary of the municipal party committee, and was praised, how could he not be excited? Although this does not mean that you will be able to soar all the way in the future, at least this is a good start.

calmed down his mood a little, and Li Xiaoning slowly went through what happened today in his mind. After thinking about it carefully, he found that he actually had to thank Kong Xiangrong, because it was precisely because of Kong Xiangrong's reminder that he knew that the secretary of the municipal party committee was coming, and he was able to express himself and be praised by the secretary of the municipal party committee.

To tell the truth, according to Li Xiaoning's character, he is usually a little unaccustomed to Kong Xiangrong's style - this person has always rushed forward when there is a benefit, and shrank back when there is no benefit, and he will never do some practical work in a down-to-earth manner. In particular, what he did today is even more disdainful.

Although Li Xiaoning is relatively upright, he is not an impenetrable person, he also knows that society is like this, work ability is very important, but knowing how to show himself and how to seize opportunities is more important!

Li Xiaoning has often heard people say that "so-and-so is very talented, but he can't meet Bole, so he can't be promoted", at the beginning, he also thought that these people were a pity. But later, he slowly savored the taste, and only then did he understand the true meaning of the sentence "Maxima often exists, but Bole does not often have" - don't think that if you are a thousand horses, Bole will definitely find you. With so many people in China, there will never be a shortage of Maxima. Modern society is no longer the era of "the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys", if you don't know how to show yourself, don't know how to seize the opportunity to show yourself, then you can only be a depressed person who "has no talents".

It is embarrassing that many recent college graduates, and even those who have been working for many years and claim to be talented, have not been able to see this clearly, and they are very student-like that as long as they do well, they must be rewarded. As everyone knows, ability contains a lot of content, why do some people have mediocre ability but can win the hearts of many people, can soar, and there are many talented people who will not meet talents? Because your personal work and the evaluation of your boss and colleagues are a combination of factors, whether it is work or life, you are dealing with people. In this case, the ability to relate to people is more valuable than the ability to work, especially the ability to deal with people who will decide your fate.

Li Xiaoning also has a similar student spirit, but he also knows that if he wants to have greater development, he can't let this kind of student spirit develop, so today, although he still feels that Kong Xiangrong's approach is quite inauthentic, he still follows the hypocrisy, and it is this hypocritical move that allows him to enter the eyes of the secretary of the municipal party committee.

"Xiaoning, how is the work of serving the people?" Wu Bo walked in and teased with a smile, pulling Li Xiaoning's mind back.

"Angkor, look at what you said, it's about cleaning and cleaning, where can you talk about serving the people! But it's true that I'm tired and sweaty. Li Xiaoning replied with a smile.

"I'll tell you, you're all good. Like me, I don't have a chance to get tired and sweat. Basically, every day is a newspaper and a cup of tea, and it is really easy to say that it is easy to say that it is boring, and it is really boring to say that it is boring. Wu Bo continued to tease, but there was obviously a hint of helplessness and loneliness in his tone.

Li Xiaoning understands Wu Bo's feelings, the water flows to a low place, and people go to a high place, who doesn't want to climb up? Especially in the government sector. But there is a law in this world called "conservation of energy", giving is not necessarily equal to gain, but if you want to return, you must pay. Everyone wants to live an easy life, but in many cases, relaxation also means that there is nothing to do, and having nothing to do means that you are marginalized, and the consequence of being marginalized is often that there is no way to be promoted.

"Don't be discouraged, there's always a chance." Li Xiaoning didn't know whether he was comforting Wu Bo or himself.

"There is a Mao opportunity, you are also just here, and you are full of confidence in Yiqiē, and you won't feel like this after you stay here for three years and five years." Wu Bo laughed at himself as he picked up the teacup and prepared to pour out the tea leaves he had drunk in the morning.

Wu Bo had just walked to the door, and happened to meet Mao Qiushi walking in, Wu Bo immediately changed his expression, and said with a flattering smile: "Mao is good!" ”

Mao Qiushi didn't pay attention to Wu Bo, but walked straight to Li Xiaoning and said, "Secretary Liu asked you to go over!" ”

"What?" Li Xiaoning suspected that he had misheard, and couldn't help but ask.

Mao Qiushi frowned, and said in an accentuated tone: "Secretary Liu is looking for you and letting you go." ”

"Now?" Li Xiaoning still couldn't believe it.

"Now!" Mao Qiushi said angrily.

"Oh." Li Xiaoning subconsciously turned around and walked out, but because of nervousness, he got up too quickly, and his thigh was just pinned to the chair handle, which made him grin in pain.

"What does it look like?" Mao Qiushi took the opportunity to be sarcastic again, "I really don't know if the person in charge of the interview was blind to recruit you." I can tell you, just now at Secretary Liu's, I have already been given a lecture for you, go in and give me a good expression, you listen obediently to what Secretary Liu says, you are not allowed to talk back, do you know? ”

Regarding Mao Qiushi's words, Li Xiaoning is too lazy to deal with them now, and his brain is spinning rapidly now-the secretary of the municipal party committee will actually call himself, a novice who has just been in for two months, to his office, what does this mean? Li Xiaoning couldn't figure it out, but it was certain that it was definitely not a bad thing. Even if it is really as Mao Qiushi said, he is going to be trained, it is still a happy thing. Because the identities of Liu Qifeng and Li Xiaoning are too different, even if Li Xiaoning makes a mistake, there is absolutely no need for him to criticize, unless he favors Li Xiaoning.

Walking all the way to the door of Liu Qifeng's office in his mind, Li Xiaoning clenched his fists hard, trying to calm down, he knew that there was an opportunity in front of him, and he didn't want Liu Qifeng to think that he was unstable.

Raising his right hand, he knocked on the door three times without hesitation, and Liu Qifeng's deep voice came out inside, "Please come in!" ”

After pushing open the door, Li Xiaoning found that Liu Qifeng's office was very large, three or four times the size of the secretary's office, and there were several doors inside, I don't know where it leads. Liu Qifeng was writing something on the paper, and when he saw Li Xiaoning, he stretched out his left hand and pointed to the sofa in front of him, meaning to ask him to sit down.

In an instant, Li Xiaoning suddenly relaxed, he found that his steps were so calm, the smile on his face was so natural, he walked towards the sofa, but did not sit down. After a few seconds, he suddenly came to his senses again, stepped forward, picked up the purple sand cup with only half a cup of water left on the table, walked to the vertical water dispenser in the corner of the office, connected the boiling water, and then put the purple sand cup back next to Liu Qifeng's hand, and then retreated to the sofa and continued to stand.

When Li Xiaoning was doing this, Liu Qifeng didn't say anything, until he finished writing on the paper, then he picked up the piece of paper, stood up, walked to the sofa and sat down, patted the sofa next to him, and said to Li Xiaoning: "Xiao Li, come, sit down, let's talk." ”

Li Xiaoning took a few steps forward, walked to Liu Qifeng's side, and rested the front half of his butt on the sofa.

"Xiao Li, I remember that you graduated from Yenching University, what major?" Liu Qifeng asked kindly.

"Chinese Language and Literature!" Although Li Xiaoning didn't know why Liu Qifeng asked this, he still answered honestly, and he knew that this was not the time to nag, so there was not a single superfluous word.

"Yenching University's Chinese Department? It seems that he was born in a professional class, and he won't be far off if he thinks about it! Liu Qifeng nodded and said.

Li Xiaoning didn't understand what Liu Qifeng meant, so he had to say: "Thank you Secretary Liu for your compliment, I still have to learn more." ”

"Xiao Li, I want to ask you for a favor." Liu Qifeng continued to say kindly.

"Secretary Liu has anything to do, just tell me." Li Xiaoning said respectfully.

Liu Qifeng raised his hand to look at the time, and then said: "There is an investment dinner in the development zone tonight, and I want to ask you to help me write a speech." As he spoke, he handed the piece of paper in his hand to Li Xiaoning, and then said, "This is the key point of my list, you can take a look first." ”

To be honest, Liu Qifeng actually didn't believe that Li Xiaoning, a newly graduated college student, could write something that satisfied him, he was just taking the opportunity to test Li Xiaoning. He wanted to see if Li Xiaoning was qualified enough to allow him to cultivate. As for what the manuscript will look like, he actually doesn't care at all, he can get to where he is today, his eloquence has long been practiced, and even if he doesn't need to make a speech, he can speak for hours.
