Since Li Zijian is a smart person, of course he will not talk nonsense easily, otherwise he will not stay safe and secure in the office of the municipal party committee. He has been by the side of the former secretaries Fang Yishan and Guo Tao, and he knows the truth that a companion is like a tiger, and his position has always been very correct. Don't look at Xu Haodong as honest and approachable, but Li Zijian saw Xu Haodong's ruthlessness, and his desire for power was no less than that of his predecessors Fang Yishan and Guo Tao.

"Secretary Xu, why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" Li Zijian asked with a smile.

"Lao Li, old rules, I'm not a secretary when I'm not in public." Xu Haodong particularly emphasized.

Li Zijian nodded, "Haodong, I can't answer your question, because it's hard for me." ”

"No, you're avoiding it, you're not willing to say it." Xu Haodong pointed at Li Zijian and said, "Then I'll talk about you first." There are five secretaries in one department, and two little girls have just stepped into the society, so let's leave it aside for the time being, you, Hu Yisheng, and Xiao Zhang Zhang Tong are three typical specimens in the agency. Xiao Zhang Zhangtong is not scheming, he is not yet mature, he is a person who has not yet determined his life goals, he doesn't know what he wants. And you are different from Hu Yisheng and Xiao Zhang Zhangtong, you are all people with clear goals in life. ”

Li Zijian smiled again, "Haodong, I completely agree with your evaluation of Xiao Zhang and Zhang Tong. ”

"However, you and Hu Yisheng pursue completely different goals in life." Xu Haodong said: "Hu Yisheng wants to make progress and is working hard to improve, he worked as a secretary to the former mayor Zhang Guoming, but unfortunately Mayor Zhang Guoming was too decent and didn't help Hu Yisheng when he was transferred, otherwise with Hu Yisheng's ability, he would have been promoted to the official level a long time ago,"

Li Zijian nodded and asked, "What about me?" ”

Xu Haodong said: "Compared with the so-called career progress, what you Li Zijian wants is stability. Stable job, stable income, high social status, and the occasional small power capriciousness, you have it all now. In our country, there is no job like staying in an institution as comfortable, safe, and realistic, and that's what you Li Zijian wants. ”

Li Zijian smiled lightly, "I seem to be a backward element." ”

"No, it's because you and Hu Yisheng belong to two parts of the bureaucracy." Xu Haodong said: "The bureaucratic system is divided into two parts, one is the bureaucracy and the other is the technocracy. I belong to the bureaucracy, and Hu Yisheng is basically a bureaucrat, and the majority or core of power is held by the bureaucracy. And you are a technocracy, and part of the power is held by you. There is a saying that the iron-clad battalion is a flowing soldier, and I will slightly change it, and the officer of the iron-clad organ is actually a technocracy. Technocrats can stay in the agency for the rest of their lives as long as they don't die, Lao Li, I dare say that this is your goal in life. ”

Li Zijian smiled and nodded, "Haodong, you have seen me through." ”

Xu Haodong smiled, "If you want to say that you can see it through, it has to go back to when I was transferred to work in the municipal government office, and you worked in the municipal party committee office at that time." The deepest impression you left on me is that you don't pat the leaders' ass, don't engage in speculation, and dare to point out the mistakes and mistakes of the leaders, but the two secretaries, Fang Yishan and Guo Tao, never treat you as a dissident and ostracize. Later, I gradually understood that you have a clear position of yourself, that you are a technocrat, that you are a worker, that you do not pose any threat to the leadership. One of the characteristics of technocrats that I admire the most is that they dare to speak and tell the truth, for example, Lao Li, you said that you should hold a democratic life meeting of the party group and give me advice, and you not only did a good job, but also spoke better. ”

Li Zijian smiled again, "Haodong, you are twisting and turning, forcing me to answer your question." ”

"I'm done, I'll hear you now." Xu Haodong spread his hands.

After a deep sigh, Li Zijian said: "Haodong, I really understand you as a person when you were the executive vice mayor, you quarreled with the then mayor Guo Tao over a decision, and the then secretary Fang Yishan supported you. I remember when you said that when making any decision, the decision-maker must consider four issues: first, whether the decision is illegal or not, second, whether the decision meets the needs of the people and society, third, whether the decision can be approved and supported by the superiors and subordinates, and whether it can be implemented smoothly, and fourth, whether the results of the implementation of the decision have any side effects, and whether the side effects can be far less than the positive effect and can be ignored. ”

Xu Haodong nodded and said with a smile: "I just remembered these four points that I doubted and reflected on what I have done since I took office. ”

"How can I say it, the common people must like officials like you." Li Zijian pondered and said: "However, your shuffling of the Handicap Town, the Bureau of Statistics and the Urban Management Bureau will arouse the opposition and resentment of the so-called technocrats, and even more hated those marginal people, such as those who are about to be dismissed, so what you do is harmful to your personal future." ”

Xu Haodong sighed, "So I did something wrong?" ”

"No, on the contrary, under the current grim situation in Yunling City, drastic and quick cutting through the mess is almost the only option, and if it is carried out by boiling green wow in warm water, it will not touch the bureaucratic system that has been corroded and numb. You are here with a special mission in a special period, and the reason why the organization chose you instead of others is precisely because of your characteristics, which can not only pass two times slowly, but also be able to quickly cover your ears, one hand is hard and the other is soft, rigid and soft, and you can retract and release freely. In other words, only you can clean up the mess in our Yunling City. ”

"Go on, talk about the shortcomings."

Li Zijian said: "You may have to continue to make drastic moves, I know that you are preparing to attack the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the leadership of the Municipal Public Security Bureau is very disunited, Director Yao Qiming can not actually control the overall situation, and the Public Security Bureau is a weighted department, and its influence is far greater than the sum of the three Pankou Town, the Statistics Bureau and the Urban Management Bureau. ”

"What is a normal work rhythm?"

"In line with the four standards you just mentioned, that is, the normal rhythm of work, for example, personnel adjustment, under normal circumstances, you must go through a series of procedures of the Organization Department, step by step, and you cannot directly replace people on the Standing Committee, otherwise you will really anger us technocrats, and the Organization Department is the core department of technocrats."

"Last question, in your opinion, what else do I need to pay attention to?"

Li Zijian pondered for a long time, and then said: "I think your top priority is to control the two sets of teams in the city, as far as the current situation is concerned, you have not yet achieved it, and the superficial obedience is very dangerous, so I suggest you pay attention to it." ”

It's really the same as the hero, Xu Haodong stood up and said to end the conversation, "Listen to your words, it's better to read ten years old, Lao Li, thank you." ”

After work, Xu Haodong walked home alone.

Yunling City is known as the water city, there are rivers and lakes, Yunling River and dozens of tributaries run through the urban area, Xu Haodong is familiar with the river of the city is better than those streets and alleys, along the right bank of the Moon River to the south, you can go to the Bayi Road located in the south of the city.

Li Zijian's words touched Xu Haodong, and he was undecided. It was a shortcut, but he didn't want to take it lightly because it would damage his image in the eyes of his superiors.

The quickest way to control the overall situation is to transfer the people in the two teams who don't listen to the call. Before Xu Haodong came to Yunling City to take up his post, Zhang Zhengyang, secretary of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee, privately promised that as long as Xu Haodong opened his mouth, he could adjust the two sets of teams in Yunling City and transfer a few team members who did not deal with him.

Xu Haodong didn't want to do this, it was just a last resort, if he really did it, not only would Zhang Zhengyang look down on him, but the organization would also doubt his ability.

But be prepared, Xu Haodong had to be prepared, if it really came to that point, who would he attack.

After a few days of observation and understanding, the situation in the two sets of teams in Yunling City has gradually become clear in Xu Haodong's mind.

Mayor Lin Jianfeng is a mountainhead, and Yu Huaiguang, director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, is very close to him, and before Xu Haodong took office, Li Minghui, head of the United Front Work Department of Yunling City, Li Ying, vice mayor, Qiao Zhengguo, vice mayor, and Sun Yang, director of the municipal government office, all approached him.

Deputy Secretary Feng Xinggui is another mountain, forming an iron triangle with Yan Fang, the head of the organization, and Yang Tao, the deputy mayor, who is stronger than Mayor Lin Jianfeng.

Executive Vice Mayor Li Jiguo can also be regarded as a mountain, at least he has the ironcore of Vice Mayor Chen Xiujie.

In addition, Yao Qiming, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and director of the Public Security Bureau, has nothing to do with anyone and is a maverick, so there is nothing to worry about.

Of course, the old guys of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference are also a collective that cannot be underestimated, and it is they who Xu Haodong trusts and borrows the most now.

At this time, the phone rang.

"Hello Secretary Xu, I am Deputy Mayor Li Ying, a working group from the Education Examination Institute of the Provincial Department of Education is in our Yunling, I arrived an hour ago, and I am now staying at the Yunling Hotel, and the leader is Vice President Zheng Chongguang, he said that he is your college classmate, and he wants to see you by name, what do you think?"

Xu Haodong said: "Mayor Li, I'll come over immediately, but the reception work is mainly the responsibility of the reception office of the municipal party committee and the municipal government and your counterpart departments. ”

turned off his mobile phone, Xu Haodong still walked, unhurried.

Zheng Chongguang is not only Xu Haodong's college classmate, living in a dormitory, but also his class president and vice president of the school's student union, and the relationship between the two has been very good in the past four years.

The Provincial Normal College is now called the Provincial Normal University, but in fact, it is not ranked in the top five in Dongjiang Province, and there are very few politicians among the graduates, Xu Haodong is counted as one, and Zheng Chongguang is also counted as one.

Xu Haodong doesn't like to socialize, and he won't socialize, but when his old classmates arrived, he had to go.

Another point is that Zheng Chongguang is still single, and he is a rival in love with Xu Haodong, and the two fell in love with Xu Yunxue at the same time during college. In the end, it was Xu Haodong who won the beauty.

This is not over, this hateful Zheng Chongguang is now pursuing Xu Yunjie, and the reason why Xu Yunjie is staying in Yunling City is partly to avoid this Zheng Chongguang.
