"Are you from Jiangnan Province?" Xie Qingshen was slightly stunned, then remembered something, and said to Cao Junming with a smile: "Secretary Cao, I remember that the author of the article on reform and opening up that I co-published with you seems to be also from Jiangnan Province, right?" ”
Cao Junming couldn't help but smile and nodded, pointed at Xu Junran and said, "Yes, isn't this kid?" ”
Everyone was stunned, except for Du Wenyan, who knew the truth of the matter from her husband Xie Yongqiang in advance, even Ding Jianshe couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Xu Junran with extremely surprised eyes like Xie Qingshen, as if looking at a monster.
Unlike Jiangnan Province, which is located in a remote area, people in Beijing have a clearer understanding of the discussion on the direction of development, after all, it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the sensitivity to politics is a little stronger than that of ordinary places, as the saying goes, it is difficult to be an official in Beijing, not only because there are many dignitaries and nobles in Beijing, but also because Beijing officials sometimes see things more comprehensively and profoundly than in the locality.
In the eyes of these people in the capital, the so-called dispute over the line is, in the final analysis, a competition for power at the central level, and this competition has gradually become clear with the statements of the supreme chief, as well as the statements of several other members of the advisory committee of the older generation, who are highly respected.
Reform and opening up will be an irreversible trend!
And Xu Junran and Cao Junming, as the publishers of that article, will undoubtedly be future beneficiaries in the eyes of Ding Jianjian, Xie Qingshen and others.
To put it mildly, at the critical moment when the reformers were suppressed by conservative public opinion, their articles played a key role, even if it was a reward for meritorious deeds. There will be a good future in the future, not to mention that the old man of the Cao family is still in his position.
If it weren't for that. How could Xie Qingshen be so polite to Cao Junming?
To put it bluntly, what he is in awe of is not Cao Junming, but the Cao family represented by Cao Junming and the power he represents.
In a sense, the government is a dye vat. Here, we can distinguish the truth and falsehood of the human heart and the good and evil of human nature. When you enter politics and become associated with power, it is possible to use the divine power of power to do things that are "beneficial to yourself". The infinite supernatural power of power is the main reason why the subject of power is polluted. The pollution of power is not just about the pollution of those in power. More important is the pollution of power itself. Public power was originally ceded by the public for the purpose of managing public affairs, and the initial power was only related to the profession, and the person in power and other members of the social organization only had a different division of labor, and there was no other difference. It is the divine power and value of power that turns power into a pet for everyone to fight for, and so power fetishism emerges. What the public has surrendered has in turn ruled over the public, and people worship what belongs to them, and the alienation of power comes out.
The elimination of the pollution of power is an extremely long process. It is consistent with the entire process of democratization of mankind, and the completion of democratization is the elimination of the pollution of power. Once the public enjoys and uses power equally, making holding power an equal occupation with manipulators, the mystification of power disappears, and the purity of power increases, accompanied by the disappearance of power pollution. The status of power in people's minds will decline.
It's just that in the eighties, it seems that people's worship of power is becoming stricter and stricter, and Xu Junran clearly knows that it will not be until thirty years later. The cult of power in China has reached an incredible level.
So, now Xie Qingshen's expression xiàn. In Xu Junran's view, it is understandable at all.
Nodding with a modest smile, Xu Junran said to Xie Qingshen: "At that time, I just wrote a little bit of my own thoughts, which made Director Xie smile." ”
Xie Qingshen shook his head, waved his hand and said, "Be modest, it's not good for young people to be too modest." I've read that article of yours many times, it's amazing, it's amazing! ”
Xu Junran smiled politely, but he didn't take Xie Qingshen's words as one thing in his heart, saying that he had read it many times, I am afraid that he would pay more attention to the content of Cao Junming and the article, for himself, a little-known little person, Xu Junran didn't believe that Xie Qingshen would be so kind to pay attention to it, if he really paid attention, he wouldn't have known his name just now.
The kind words in officialdom cannot be taken seriously after all.
"Comrade Xiao Xu came to the capital this time, is it a business trip?" Xie Qingshen glanced at Xu Junran quietly and asked with a smile.
He is not stupid, his brain turned slightly, and he quickly understood that Cao Junming could not throw an olive branch to himself for no reason, just today's dinner, it is obviously not his original intention, if nothing else, it is not possible to make this young man who has been ignored by himself is the initiator of the dinner.
In the officialdom, don't talk about innocence, naturalness, kindness, beauty, etc., that is all immature expression. The people in the officialdom are all smiling tigers, and they have ghosts behind their backs. To be an official, you must be good at observation and analysis, which is something that any official must learn, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch in the official career, and you may eventually be eliminated from the bureaucracy.
In officialdom, you can't admit death. Chinese people pay attention to the golden mean, and the top people and scum are not suitable for leadership, so people in the officialdom should not be too sharp, such as shrewdness and cunning are taboos in officialdom. Smart people are smart and understand some things in their hearts, but they don't break them, they don't turn their faces, they don't show their faces, they don't show their faces, they play dumb riddles, and they pretend to be confused. However, these situations should be divided into what occasions and who to whom, for example, on today's occasion, Xie Qingshen does not need to pretend to be confused, because he knows that his relationship with Cao Junming is far less close than that between Xu Junran and Cao Junming.
Xu Junran smiled, reached out and took out a few bottles of wine from under the table, and handed them to Xie Qingshen in front of Du Wenyan and several people: "This is a little heart, please accept it with a smile." ”
Xie Qingshen was stunned for a moment.
Regarding the matter of gift-giving, with the development of reform and opening up, it is nothing new in China. People like Xie Qingshen are even more well versed in the truth, and they must know that giving gifts to superior departments and leaders is a great knowledge, because if you give it lightly, people will think that you are not sincere. If it is heavy, it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble. So, it's a big challenge to be unexpected.
To put it bluntly, the "how" to give a gift is more important than the "what" gift, and the biggest mystery of gift-giving is to give the recipient a reason to accept it.
Small gifts should be big, big gifts should be small, this is the experience summed up by Xie Qingshen.
Of course, gift-giving is not the same as **, this is a natural fact. But it certainly includes gift-giving, which is also a matter of course. The biggest difficulty of being a leader is that you can't resist the gift of others. If you reject the kindness of others, you will refuse your job, your relationship, and your own political future. If you refuse someone else's gift, you will break the original balance and harmony, hurt the face of others, and lose your own interests.
But no matter what, Xu Junran's sudden move made Xie Qingshen feel very surprised. You must know that there are still Cao Junming and Ding Jianjian around here, and even his two subordinates, what does this young man mean by taking out the gift to himself so directly?
Just when Xie Qingshen's face sank and he was slightly unhappy, Xu Junran slowly spoke.
"Director Xie, this is the wine made by the collective distillery of our Lijiazhen Commune, how about you taste it?"
Xie Qingshen frowned, because Cao Junming's face was not directly angry, and he snorted: "This wine is not cheap, right?" ”
The implication is that if your wine is too expensive, I won't drink it.
Xu Junran smiled, and then said: "It's not expensive, this time I came to the capital, I didn't bring much, Brother Cao's family sent a little, Minister Chen's family sent some, and a few elders sent some, just to let the old revolutionaries taste it." ”
Cao Junming nodded: "Yes, it tastes good, the old man gave me a little taste yesterday, it's very good." I heard that Uncle Sun drank his family's share, so he went to Uncle Qian's house to mix a bottle, and scolded Uncle Qian angrily after him. ”
Xie Qingshen's face suddenly changed when he heard this, not only him, but even Du Wenyan and the others looked at Xu Junran differently.
If Cao Junming's words are true, then it means that Xu Junran's bottles of wine can be sent to the palace!
And listening to Cao Junming's meaning, it seems that Xu Junran did not use the Cao family's relationship to send it in, but his own relationship.
This has to be surprising!
"Hehe, this is a good gift, I accepted it!" Xie Qingshen squeezed out a smile and reached out to take the wine.
Several vice-national-level and state-level leaders have accepted it, and they have no reason to refuse. It's just that in his heart, he glanced at Xu Junran again.
In fact, this matter is very simple, the wine sent out by Xu Junran is related to the Jiangnan Provincial Office, Zhou Deliang helped to say hello in advance, saying that the old revolutionary base area in Jiangnan has built a winery, and has made a lot of good wine, and is ready to send some to some old fathers who have fought in Jiangnan.
Under this banner, Xu Junran sent people to send wine to the homes of every old cadre who had fought in Jiangnan, even the Sun family, he also asked Sun Jingyun to take some back.
Gift-giving has reached this point, I have to say that Xu Junran can be said to have taken great pains. And his purpose is also very simple, since he wants to advertise for the Lijiazhen Commune in the Spring Festival Gala, he simply lays a good amount in advance, so that these leaders know about this matter, so as not to get the time when the advertisement comes out, public opinion is in an uproar, and then put a hat on himself, after all, this time is the early stage of reform and opening up, and many people's ideological concepts are still very backward.
With the big hat of the old revolutionary base area on his head, Xu Junran felt that he could sit back and relax for a while.
