Chapter 393: Leading the Driver
When I met Wan Guoliang, he was wearing a set of half-new work clothes, and he was carefully wiping the car with a special car cleaning mop.
For leaders, there are a few people around them who are the most important, and the top two are the secretary and the driver. Speaking of which, it is difficult for a leader to choose a good secretary, in fact, it is not easy to choose a good driver.
In other words, the status of the leading driver is not at all inferior to that of the secretary. Moreover, the driver is not considered a person in the officialdom, the dependence on the leader is not as high as the secretary, and the driver who does not understand the art of leadership can not talk about the rules of officialdom.
In the years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, officials were transferred and promoted, often taking away a large number of people, to put it mildly, even the office cleaning, the nanny at home would bring all of them, and the first person to be taken away was not necessarily the secretary but the driver.
Drivers are important for several reasons.
First, the driver determines the safety of the leader, if the driver is not good or even works against the leader, causing some safety accidents, this trouble is no less than the secretary making a political accident. Second, whether it is an era of fewer cars or an era of more cars, leaders who are qualified to have a special car are unlikely to drive in person, and it is not easy to take a taxi, and a special car is almost the only means of transportation for leaders. Third, the whereabouts of many of the leader's private activities may not be known to the secretary, but the driver may know it very well. Fourth, the leaders go out to inspect, and during the New Year's holidays, the local souvenirs and the like are often sent home by the driver, and the relationship between the driver and the leader's family will be closer.
The secretary makes a violation of rules and disciplines, and the leader can't get out of it anyway, and the driver causes some trouble, and rarely involves the leader, so a driver who is favored by the leader sometimes has a higher status than the secretary, at least not low.
Because of this, some leading drivers have slowly learned to participate in politics, and do some inconsistencies outside under the leader's signboard, causing a bad or even bad impact.
Therefore, the central authorities have stipulated that leaders are not allowed to take drivers with them when they are transferred, and even other personnel are not allowed to take them away. No matter how different the officials are, no one dares to bring their cronies, and they often go alone, and the personal connections will develop after they arrive in a new place.
The secretary next to the leader can arrange a good position before the transfer, and the driver is not very easy to do, and the new leader will probably not use the previous driver, the status of the driver, because the change of officials will often plummet.
A good secretary needs absolute loyalty to the leader, prudence and flexibility, and a reliable driver is mainly honest and loyal.
Wan Guoliang is a very good leader driver.
He and his wife's families are all in other places, and there is no matter how to cause trouble to the leaders.
When Yi Haitao was about to be transferred from the deputy director of the Department of Transportation to the executive vice mayor of Qingyuan City, a project in charge of the military cable encountered, Yi Haitao came forward to negotiate, met Wan Guoliang, who drove for the head of the army, heard that his service expired, so he arranged to transfer to the Qingyuan City government team, and became a full-time driver for himself, and by the way, his wife in his hometown county was also transferred to Qingyuan, so Wan Guoliang was loyal to Yi Haitao.
This is also one of the reasons why Chu Tianshu didn't call and went downstairs to get to know Wan Guoliang.
Wan Guoliang drove an Audi A6, this is the first time he drove such a high-end car, cherish it as life, in addition to the car is maintenance, at any time, this car is the same as Wan Zhiliang's people, refreshing and tidy, full of spirit.
Chu Tianshu came to the front of the car, smiled at Wan Guoliang, and said, "Master Wan, hello, my name is Chu Tianshu, and I am Mayor Yi's new secretary." ”
"Oh. Secretary Chu, just call me Lao Wan. Wan Guoliang didn't say much, he just smiled at Chu Tianshu, but the special car wiping mop in his hand did not stop.
"Okay, I'll call you Lao Wan in the future, and you call me Xiao Chu." Chu Tianshu could feel that Wan Guoliang didn't like to talk too much, unlike some leading drivers who talked a lot. He said directly: "After work, we will go to Mayor Yi's house." ”
"Okay." Wan Zhiliang was very simple, only answered one word, looked at his watch, and said, "At half past five, I am waiting at the door of the office building." ”
Chu Tianshu liked Wan Guoliang's down-to-earth and kind character very much, and he didn't say anything more.
Wan Guoliang put away the mop, took off his work clothes outside, and when he passed past Chu Tianshu, Chu Tianshu smelled a smell of smoke.
Back in the office, Yi Haitao's conversation with Du Pingfeng was not over.
When there were still a few minutes before the end of work, Du Pingfeng came out and came over to say hello to Chu Tianshu and asked him to have a chance to sit together.
Chu Tianshu stood up and sent Du Pingfeng.
Du Pingfeng said that he was embarrassed and asked Chu Tianshu not to send it.
Chu Tianshu still insisted on sending him to the elevator.
knocked on the door and entered Yi Haitao's office, where Yi Haitao was talking on the phone at his desk.
Chu Tianshu put away the teacup and closed the window.
One day at work, Yi Haitao discovered that Chu Tianshu still has a serious and meticulous side, and pays great attention to details.
With this kind of quality in the officialdom, it belongs to the material that can be made, and if you follow the leader, over time, you will learn a lot of ways to be an official, and it is very possible to make rapid progress and have a lot of space.
"I'm off work, go home." Yi Haitao stretched out his arms, moved in the air a few times, and stood up.
When Chu Tianshu followed Yi Haitao out of the office building, Wan Guoliang was already waiting at the door.
Chu Tianshu drove the door in the back row, put his hand on the door frame, and waited for Yi Haitao to sit in the car before he went around from the back of the car to the passenger seat.
The position of the car is particular, and generally the real leaders are willing to sit in the back row.
At present, the heads of many counties, towns and state-owned enterprises like to sit in the passenger seat, and always feel that this is the seat of the leader, in fact, the more senior the leader, the less he sits in this position, which is precisely the seat of the secretary of the leader.
Later, Chu Tianshu figured out that those cadres who can't afford a special car and can't bring a secretary don't like to sit in the back row, because they often have other people on official trips, and it seems crowded to sit in the back, so they have to grab the seat in the passenger seat, which can be spacious and relaxed.
After a long time, I developed a habit of grabbing the passenger seat when I got in the car.
Wan Guoliang has already changed out of his work clothes, and he is indeed an honest and loyal person, he concentrated on driving along the way, and he didn't say a word when he saw Yi Haitao.
What made Chu Tianshu even more admired was that Wan Guoliang himself smoked, but he could keep the air in the car fresh and there was no smell of smoke at all.
The car was parked outside a community, although Chu Tianshu had never been to Yi Haitao's house, but when he saw Wan Guoliang parked the car, he knew that he had arrived at the place, and quickly got out of the car and opened the car door for Yi Haitao.
"Xiao Chu, go up. Hey, Lao Wan, you also go up together, and send Xiao Chu after eating. Yi Haitao greeted as he got out of the car.
"No, boss, my child won the second place in the school unified examination, and my wife asked me to buy a prize for my son, and I will come over after eating." Wan Guoliang refused, and it seemed natural for him to call the boss, revealing a sense of cordiality. When it comes to his wife and children, he obviously has a lot more to say.
Based on Chu Tianshu's feelings, Wan Guoliang was very familiar with Yi Haitao's family and had eaten together.
But Wan Guoliang's refusal to stay today is also a manifestation of his loyalty, Yi Haitao brought Chu Tianshu, the secretary on the first day of his tenure, to his home, most of the inconvenient things to say in the office, if he followed, it would be a mess.
Yi Haitao rang the doorbell.
Chu Tianshu carried his bag and called out to Wan Guoliang, who was about to leave.
Wan Guoliang rolled down the window glass and asked, "Xiao Chu, is there anything else?" ”
Chu Tianshu took out a delicate small pencil case from his bag, handed it to Wan Guoliang, and said, "Lao Wan, the child has won the second place in the exam, so he should be properly encouraged." I happen to have a pen here, I can't use it for the time being, you can help me bring it to him, it can be regarded as a prize for me and Mayor Yi to give the child. ”
Wan Guoliang waved his hand and wanted to push.
Chu Tianshu stuffed the pen case into Wan Guoliang's hand and said, "Lao Wan, don't shirk, the boss is calling me." ”
Wan Guoliang took it, said "Xie Lu, thank you", and drove out of the community.
The building structure of this community is similar to that of the general community, and it is also arranged one by one, but, unlike the general community is seven or eight storey multi-storey buildings or dozens of high-rise buildings, the highest house here is three floors, the lowest two floors, the most unique place is that there is only one unit in a unit, which is specially designed for municipal leaders, speaking of which is still a unit house, not a detached villa, but in addition to no yard and garage, other functions are almost the same as detached villas.
The nanny Wang's sister-in-law heard Yi Haitao ringing the doorbell outside, hurriedly came out of the kitchen and opened the door, and greeted the door with a smile.
"Sister-in-law Wang, this is my secretary Xiao Chu, I have to cook one person today." Yi Haitao introduced Chu Tianshu to Sister-in-law Wang while changing his slippers.
"Okay, okay." Sister-in-law Wang agreed, and brought out a pair of slippers for Chu Tianshu.
Chu Tianshu stood at the door, bent down slightly, and said, "Sister-in-law Wang, I'm sorry for you." ”
Sister-in-law Wang is in her forties, clean and neat, and she loves to talk more than Wan Guoliang, she smiled and said: "Xiao Chu, you're welcome, come to dinner at home in the future, call me first, what you like to eat, Sister-in-law Wang will make it for you." ”
Chu Tianshu thanked him and followed Yi Haitao into the room.
From the outside, the house is similar to an ordinary building, but inside it is a duplex structure, divided into two floors.
On the lower floor, there is a living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and a study, and above it must be a private space such as a bedroom.
Sister-in-law Wang was very quick with her hands and feet, and quickly went into the kitchen to make tea for Yi Haitao and Chu Tianshu.
Chu Tianshu put down the bag, followed him into the kitchen, and helped Sister-in-law Wang bring out the teacup.
Sister-in-law Wang put the teacup on the coffee table in the living room and said, "Yigong, Teacher Peng just called and said that she was going shopping after work and would come back later. ”
Yi Haitao listened and frowned.
