Xu Junran is not familiar with Dong Wenbin, but once when he had dinner with Chen Xingrui, he met this Governor Dong, and he was not the top-ranked vice governor of the provincial government at that time, but just a low-ranking vice governor.
When he got up the next morning, Xu Junran flipped through his phone book, found the phone number in Dong Wenbin's office and dialed it.
This is from Fang Zhongyuan a few days ago.
Dong Wenbin's secretary is called Wu Yin, in the past few days he feels that he is about to become a busy person, originally there are not many people coming and going in Governor Dong's office, but he did not expect that he has received more and more calls in the past two days, and many people have come to inquire about the reservoir.
After receiving Xu Junran's call, he was even more surprised, because Governor Dong rarely told others about the phone number of the office, except for a few provincial party committee leaders, the general phone call was to his own secretary's office, but today the governor went to a meeting and cleaned his office by himself, but he didn't expect the phone to ring, is it the leader in the province?
But today is the enlarged meeting of the provincial party committee, and the leaders have gone to the meeting.
Thinking of this, Wu Yin still picked up the phone: "Hello, who are you?" ”
Xu Junran was also stunned on the phone, but he didn't expect that it was not Dong Wenbin himself who answered the phone, and when he heard the voice, it should be the secretary, so he smiled and said: "Hello, I am Xu Junran, the county magistrate of Incheon County, Danjiang City, and I want to find Governor Dong." ”
Since he is asking for help, Xu Junran's posture is very low, as the saying goes, the king of Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult, this secretary is not a person who can be offended casually. What's more, he is still the secretary of a deputy provincial leader, Xu Junran doesn't want the other party to feel that he is domineering.
"Xu Junran?" When he heard this name, Wu Yin was stunned for a moment, and then his face immediately changed. He has an excellent memory, generally as long as he meets someone once, Wu Yin will firmly remember the name and position of the other party, after all, no one in the officialdom can predict his future, maybe today's side of the relationship will become an opportunity for cooperation tomorrow. Wu Yin is really not unfamiliar with the name Xu Junran, when Chen Xingrui was still in Songhe Province, once several leaders in the province were eating out, and it happened that Xu Junran came to the provincial capital to do business, Chen Xingrui called Xu Junran over, and Wu Yin saw Xu Junran once. And what impressed him the most was Governor Chen's secretary Zhang Zhongjian's enthusiasm for Xu Junran.
For Wu Yin, Zhang Zhongjian is undoubtedly a model in the minds of these people who are secretaries of leading cadres in Songhe Province. From a pen in the provincial government to the deputy director of the General Office of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, Zhang Zhongjian's growth is a story that can be written into a novel in the eyes of many people.
Of course, Zhang Zhongjian's eyes are also well-known in the province, and it is the first time that Wu Yin has seen him so enthusiastic about a county and department-level cadre.
So for the name Xu Junran, Wu Yin suddenly had an impression.
Later, he heard that this Xu Junran had a very good relationship with Governor Chen and the current Governor Fang, and he was a very powerful character. Now I heard that it was Xu Junran who called, for the sake of the faces of the two provincial elders, he felt that Governor Dong would definitely attach great importance to this call, thinking of this, Wu Yin said in a low voice: "Hello County Magistrate Xu, now Governor Dong is holding a meeting in the provincial party committee, and I will report to him when he comes back, do you have anything to do?" ”
Xu Junran also knew that what he said should not be false, so he smiled and said, "There is something I want to report to Governor Dong, and I have trouble Secretary Wu to tell me." ”
The two of them had met before, but they weren't familiar with each other, but Xu Junran suddenly remembered Wu Yin's name.
"Okay." Wu Yin agreed very happily.
Xu Junran said: "I'm sorry for you." ”
After speaking, he naturally hung up the phone, the door himself had already left, and it was up to the other party whether he was given a chance or not.
Dong Wenbin has been really busy recently, the above decided to repair the reservoir, in all fairness for the development of the province is a big opportunity, all aspects are involved too much, I have to see a lot of people every day recently, just in the province meeting back to the office not long after, the secretary Wu Yin walked in and said: "Chief, just now the county magistrate of Incheon County, Danjiang City, Comrade Xu Junran called, saying that I want to report to you about the work. ”
"County magistrate?" Dong Wenbin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered who Xu Junran was.
If the secretary told himself about this just because a county magistrate called to report to him, Dong Wenbin would definitely hold Wu Yin responsible, but if the county magistrate was Xu Junran, Dong Wenbin would have to give Wu Yin a credit in his heart, after all, there are many county magistrates in Songhe Province, but like Xu Junran, he is the only one.
"Xu Junran has come to the provincial capital?" Raising his eyebrows, Dong Wenbin looked at the secretary and asked.
Wu Yin nodded: "Yes, I heard him say that he only arrived last night, and he came to report to you." ”
Dong Wenbin smiled, what kind of reporting work, I'm afraid it's true for the reservoir project in his hand, but he also knows that this is a normal thing, Xu Junran caused a big storm in the province some time ago, and the matter of land contracting was in an uproar, Dong Wenbin naturally heard about it, and now Xu Junran came to the provincial capital again, as the saying goes, if he didn't come because of the reservoir, he wouldn't believe it.
Glancing at Wu Yin, Dong Wenbin asked, "What are the arrangements for the evening?" ”
Wu Yin took out a small notebook and looked at it, and then raised his head and replied: "In the evening, the leaders of the Water Conservancy Department invited you to dinner." ”
"In this way, put the dinner in the Water Conservancy Department away, and say that I have something to do."
Dong Wenbin thought for a while and said to Wu Yin: "Let Xu Junran arrange it and have a meal together in the evening." "No matter what, in the face of the two governors before and after, it is impossible for Dong Wenbin to avoid Xu Junran, not to mention that Chen Xingrui is now in such an important position as the Central Organization Department, just one Fang Zhongyuan is enough for Dong Wenbin not to dare to slack off on Xu Junran, not to mention that after today's Standing Committee, Fang Zhongyuan also deliberately mentioned to himself that he wanted him to help take care of the younger generation, originally thought it was the son and nephew of the Fang family, but he didn't expect it to be Xu Junran who came to the door.
After Xu Junran received the news of Wu Yin's notice, his brows furrowed, but it was a little troublesome, the place to eat in this provincial capital is really not easy to find, please invite ordinary people to eat It's easy to do, if you want to invite a deputy provincial leader to eat, you have to choose a location, the party that is too complicated is not good, the place that is too obvious is not good, the place that has no characteristics is not good, and the location that is too luxurious is not good, it is best to be the kind of location that is more quiet and the environment is not tacky.
It seems that this matter has to be arranged by someone.
Turning his head to Liu Huaqiang, he said, "Lao Liu, you can arrange it, let's invite the leaders to eat in the evening and find a similar place." ”
Liu Huaqiang was stunned when he heard this, although he knew that Xu Junran had a deep network in the provincial capital, he still asked curiously: "County magistrate, what kind of leader do you invite to dinner?" Very high level? "This is very knowledgeable, and it naturally depends on the status and level of both the guest and the host to invite the guest and the host to eat, otherwise it is strange to invite the county magistrate and the provincial governor to use the same dishes.
Xu Junran smiled: "Vice provincial level." ”
Liu Huaqiang's face changed when he heard this, as Xu Junran's confidant, he naturally knew why Xu Junran came to the provincial capital this time, since he was a deputy provincial leader, it must be Dong Wenbin, the vice governor in charge, I didn't expect Xu Junran to be a deputy county magistrate, not only is he a fish in water among department-level cadres, but he can also invite the vice governor to dinner, which is really admirable.
After thinking about it, Xu Junran said again: "Prepare a gift, well, just buy some fruit or something according to the most ordinary kind." ”
After all, seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, I always have to prepare a gift for others.
The tradition of giving gifts on holidays in China has a long history, so much so that later generations have evolved a gift-giving economy and holidays. "Honest or not, look at the New Year; Clean or unclean, I have seen the festival. The festival is a big test of whether the cadres are honest or not. After all, we all know that, relatively speaking, the holiday ** has a temptation that is more difficult to resist than usual.
Strictly speaking, there are three main types of income in the organs: white income - income on the salary scale, which is protected by law. Grey income - the use of work and position to obtain additional less conspicuous income, which is commonplace and common in the authorities and those in power. Black income - it is also income related to work and position, but in large quantities, and it is not something that anyone who wants to be black can get it.
Xu Junran is well aware of this kind of thing, and he knows that it will not take many years for "personal contacts" and "customs and habits" to become excuses for corrupt officials to wantonly collect money, which is undoubtedly a great irony of socialist social and cultural life. Under the pattern of reform, opening up, and rapid economic development, some leading cadres have unconsciously relaxed the transformation of their world outlook, distorted their outlook on power, and caused their ideals and beliefs to slip and their selfish desires to swell rapidly. Under the advocacy of the decadent ideas of some leading cadres, they are happy to forget "honesty" and "courtesy" with peace of mind, so that the cultural dregs of feudal society are rapidly rising, and they are not ashamed, but proud.
Of course, it hasn't reached that point yet, but some eating and drinking are still unavoidable.
Dong Wenbin was very tall and looked like an athlete, and when he appeared in the hotel with his secretary, Xu Junran hurriedly greeted him.
"Thank you, Chief, for coming." Xu Junran stretched out his hand and said with a smile to Dong Wenbin.
Dong Wenbin showed a kind smile to Xu Junran: "You are good, the work of Incheon County is impressive, and it has lived up to Minister Chen's expectations of you." When he came up, he mentioned the name of the old leader Chen Xingrui, and his intention was naturally very simple, he was telling Xu Junran that he was not an outsider with him.
Asked Dong Wenbin to sit down at the top, Xu Junran said modestly: "The chief has an overreputation, it's just a little superficial." Incheon County is a poor place, and if we don't build up the economy, we will no longer have a chance to develop. ”
"Hehe, yes, it's good to have such an idea. If the chief official of a place does not have the momentum to sacrifice himself for the development of the masses, then this official is not a good official. By the way, in a few days, there is a research team from the Provincial Department of Water Resources, and I want to visit your Incheon County, so when you go back, you can simply go back with the research team. ”
Dong Wenbin's words made the expression on Xu Junran's face change suddenly, and all the words that were originally prepared were gone. Dong Wenbin already knew what he was here for, and the intention of sending a research team from the Water Resources Department to Incheon County was also very clear, that is, to see if Incheon County was suitable for building a reservoir.
Looking at Dong Wenbin gratefully, Xu Junran stood up and took a glass of wine and drank it all: "Thank you for the province's support for the development of poor areas!" ”
Dong Wenbin smiled: "It's not all because of you. Before, the relevant departments of the province have been inspecting the situation in various parts of the province, and your Incheon County is naturally one of them, and I have read the information that Incheon County can build a medium-sized reservoir. This time, the research team from the Department of Water Resources only went to the field for inspection. The main thing is to see where the reservoir should be built. ”
He said that he was telling the truth, Incheon County had already been included in the selection target before, but Fang Zhongyuan's reminder made Dong Wenbin strengthen his confidence.
Xu Junran hurriedly nodded in thanks, after all, although Dong Wenbin helped Fang Zhongyuan and Chen Xingrui in the face of Fang Zhongyuan and Chen Xingrui, but no matter what, this relationship must be managed by himself, and the officialdom can be maintained not only by the background, people can give the background behind you a face, but you can't give it every time, whether you can develop in the officialdom or not, mainly depends on your own ability, this ability not only includes the ability to develop the local economy, but also how to build your own network.
"Okay, let's eat, let's meet for the first time, you can talk to me about the land contract."
Seeing that Xu Junran still wanted to say something, Dong Wenbin smiled and said.
After eating a meal until the evening, when he was leaving, Xu Junran asked Liu Huaqiang to hand over the prepared fruits and sucperutions to Dong Wenbin's secretary, and said with a smile: "There is nothing to send, the susvenirs are the mountain goods I brought from the county, the fruits are bought from the roadside stalls in the guest house, and the apples are personally selected by me, Uncle Dong, you have done us a great favor in Incheon County this time, a little heart, don't mind." When we get rid of poverty and become rich in Incheon County, we must invite you, a great benefactor, to be there! ”
Glancing at Xu Junran, Dong Wenbin smiled: "Not bad, very good, you are a good boy!" ”
After speaking, he waved his hand to Wu Yin: "Xiao Wu, take it, let's go." ”
At his level, gifts or anything are no longer very important, especially for a cadre with great ambitions like Dong Wenbin, who is already a deputy provincial cadre in his early forties, it is pure nonsense to say that he has no ambition in politics, in the final analysis, what can attract him is no longer beauty and money, but power!
Therefore, Xu Junran didn't give a gift at all, but simply prepared a small gift, but let Dong Wenbin take a look. You must know that Xu Junran gave him a promise that once Incheon County gets rid of poverty and becomes rich, he will definitely invite Dong Wenbin to come over. What is it? This is the naked-naked-naked political achievement!
Seeing Dong Wenbin and his entourage leaving, Liu Huaqiang asked with some hesitation: "County magistrate, can you do this thing?" Our county also gives out some welfare coupons during the festival, this is the vice governor, you can fool him with that bit of mountain goods, in case ......" He was mainly worried that Dong Wenbin would make trouble for Incheon County in the matter of building a reservoir.
Xu Junran laughed, during the holidays, the phenomenon of wanton gifts, indiscriminate distribution of money and goods, eating and drinking at public expense, and tourism at public expense is relatively concentrated and quite common. Gift-givers are popular, or contact feelings, or buy and sell officials. Some take advantage of the opportunity to embezzle gifts at public expense. Some units indiscriminately distribute welfare, bonuses, souvenirs, or token coupons to cadres and workers, and even higher-level leaders have shared. Some leaders and powerful figures are entangled in banquets, and some of the inviters send banquet orders. Some people who use each other's power "walk" with each other on holidays, you invite me, I invite you, spend public funds, and form private friendships. Some wealthy units collectively satisfy their cravings, show the concern of the leaders for their subordinates, and "melt and govern" the relationship between superiors and subordinates. Some sycophants invite higher-level leaders or management department personnel to go out for "inspection", and the travel expenses are all-inclusive, and some even give "pocket money" to buy "souvenirs". The unit organizes its own tourism activities, and the expenses are reimbursed with public funds. A small number of people with positions and powers travel with their wives and children at public expense.
Although this kind of thing officially became popular in later generations, but in today's China, it has gradually appeared, at least in Liu Huaqiang's view, today Xu Junran invited Dong Wenbin, the vice governor, to dinner, he should pick a high-grade place, and then get some good wine, at least invite a few big people to attend, when everyone is staggered, push the cup and change the lamp, wait until the drink is happy, drink almost, and then return home, before leaving, Incheon County will send some gifts, so that Dong Wenbin can be satisfied. And if Governor Dong is satisfied, things in Incheon County will be much easier, after all, in this year, there are no people who eat and don't do things.
But Xu Junran didn't allow it, because he felt that he didn't need to do that, if he really did that, it would make people look down on him, after all, he was also a dignified child of the capital, not to mention his noble status, the most important thing is that in the things he did, he gave people the impression that he was an idealist, although Xu Junran sneered at this in his heart, but if he was really asked to do that kind of bribery that violated his principles in front of Dong Wenbin, Xu Junran would not agree.
In this world, there are some things that can be done, and some things that cannot be done even if you die.
If people don't have their own persistence, then there is really no difference between them and beasts. (To be continued)
