Feng Xinggui and Yan Fang came to Xu's house, Xu Haodong personally opened the door to greet him, and his sister-in-law Xu Yunjie was also prepared, playing the role of "quasi-hostess" in a proper manner.

Xu Haodong first introduced Xu Yunjie, and then said: "Xiaojie, this is Lao Feng, Comrade Feng Xinggui, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, a respected leader of Yunling City, and a revolutionary predecessor whom I respect very much. This is Comrade Yan Fang, you should call her Sister Fang, the head of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, the most powerful woman in our Yunling City, beautiful and glamorous, she can be among the top three in the city. Let's talk about the relationship between Lao Feng and Sister Fang, in a word, it is better to be a husband and wife than a husband and wife, it has not yet been legally registered, but it has been openly and covered, it is a famous husband-and-wife shop in the two sets of teams in our city, and it is a pair of strange people in the Haizhou municipal arena. ”

Feng Xinggui didn't think he was angry, but laughed, Xu Haodong hurt him with his words, which showed that he had a good relationship with him.

Yan Fangjiao smiled and said, "Secretary Haodong, if your Xiaojie calls me Sister Fang, then you have to call me Sister Fang too." ”

"Okay, Sister Fang." Xu Haodong said briskly: "Sister Fang, you came just in time, you have good cooking skills, and you can successfully capture your old Feng's stomach, please take Xiaojie to the kitchen and teach her a few hands." ”

Talking and laughing, Yan Fang and Xu Yunjie quickly went to the kitchen.

Xu Haodong sat down in the living room with Feng Xinggui, took the two bottles of Moutai brought by Feng Xinggui, unpacked them, and looked at them carefully, "Old Feng, is it really fake?" ”

"With you, can you tell the real from the fake?" Feng Xinggui sneered: "You almost don't accept invitations to eat, and you don't accept gifts from others, and your family is so poor that it rings, I seriously doubt that you have ever drunk Moutai before." ”

"Go, I've never eaten pork, but I've always seen pigs run."

"Haodong, these two bottles of Moutai have a story. These two bottles of Moutai were produced in the early days of reform and opening up, and have a history of 36 years. In the early 90s, I was studying at the provincial party school, and at that time, going to the party school meant that I was sure of progress, so I wanted to talk to a leader of the provincial party school, because his evaluation was very useful to the students. So I went to the special store to buy these two bottles of Moutai through a relationship, and I remember that I spent 388 yuan at that time, and the party school leader accepted the wine, but said nothing. About seven years later, one day I suddenly received a package, which contained these two bottles of Moutai, and a letter in the package, which only contained these five words: Eighteen knives for one person. Haodong, this was sent to me by the party school leader before he retired, but I don't understand the meaning of those five words. Until one day three years after receiving the package, I suddenly opened my mind, one person eighteen knives these five words, in fact, there are only two words together, one, people, ten, together is a book, eight and knife, together is a point, the five words combined into two words is the duty. ”

"Duty." Xu Haodong said: "The two words are of far-reaching significance." ”

Feng Xinggui nodded and said: "Yes, I have come here with the word "duty" all these years, you should know me very well, I have worked hard, although I have lost more and won less, although I have only mixed up with the deputy director level in my life, although I have made a lot of mistakes, although I have also done a lot of bad things." However, I can say that I am basically a dedicated, and of course, it is precisely because of the word "duty" that I have become a tumbler. ”

Xu Haodong was a little awe-inspiring, "Lao Feng, the value of these two bottles of Moutai is incalculable, and they are extremely precious, you drink them now, there must be something special about them, right?" ”

"Guess."

"I can't guess, and I don't want to."

"I want to join you in drinking these two bottles of wine."

"You mean, let's drink the word duty?"

"Yes, you're right."

Xu Haodong sighed, "What do you mean, you have kept your duty for decades, but now you drink your duty with me, Lao Feng, do you think I am too duty, or do you want to harm me." ”

"Nonsense, is there anyone like me who hurts people?" Smiling, Feng Xinggui said: "Haodong, it's hard for people to keep their duties, but some people must keep their duties, such as me." But some people can't keep their duties, and if they keep their duties, they will be complacent and self-imprisoned, such as you. ”

Xu Haodong was puzzled: "I didn't keep my duty, do you think I kept my duty?" ”

"No, you're doing your duty." Feng Xinggui said: "Don't look at you vigorously and become an Internet celebrity secretary, but you are a traditional and conservative person in your bones, traditional and conservative are duty, you are making a big deal now, but in my opinion, you are bluffing." ”

"Give me an example."

"You are a little shy from Li Jiguo, his abstention today is the result of your connivance with him, he is now carried away and eyebrows with Lin Jianfeng, don't you think this is a bad sign?"

"Please continue."

"You are also to Lin Jianfeng, it seems that you are not left behind, in fact, you are always on the defensive, in the competition with Lin Jianfeng, you have adopted a conservative strategy, and it is because of this that everyone has no bottom in their hearts, and they dare not stand on your side and follow you."

"Anything else?"

"Today's incident of the Municipal Public Security Bureau was originally a good opportunity, for example, you could launch a comprehensive investigation into Yang Henian, but you just removed him from his post and left, and for example, you could take the opportunity to rectify the entire Municipal Public Security Bureau Party Committee, but you shrank back, which is equivalent to going around in a big circle and beating only one person, but you still didn't even enter the gate of the Municipal Public Security Bureau."

Xu Haodong nodded, "That makes sense, but isn't it good to do your duty?" ”

"Not good." Feng Xinggui said: "The vast majority of people in this world should do their duty, but the successful ones can't do their duty, most of our cadres should do their duty, but the leaders can't do their duty, most leaders should do their duty, but the number one leader can't do their duty, other leaders should do their duty, but you Xu Haodong can't do your duty." ”

"Why can't I do my part?"

Feng Xinggui smiled: "You are an idealist, but I think the ideal is a bit nonsense, and it is more clear to talk about reality." You are shouldering the mission to come to Yunling, this mission is both general and realistic, you are very clear about your situation, you have completed this mission, your prospects will be bright and bright, if you fail to complete this mission, you are destined to become a passing cloud. So you can't do your duty, and if you do your duty, you won't be able to fulfill your mission. ”

Nodding, Xu Haodong asked: "The more you talk about it, the more interesting it becomes, Lao Feng, then for me, what is my duty?" What is a lack of duty? ”

Feng Xinggui said: "Take the power in your hands as the standard, you don't let the power be capricious, you are your duty, you let the power be capricious, you just don't do your duty." Although I have never been a county or city leader, I have always seen a lot of top leaders, Zhuang Zida, Fang Yishan and Guo Tao, it is too undeserving. And the reason why Mayor Zhang Guoming was forced to transfer out because he did not become the secretary of the listing committee was the result of his duty. ”

"I understand, you want me to have both my duty and my duty, and to grasp a balance between the willfulness and non-willfulness of power."

"yes, that's what I meant." Feng Xinggui asked: "Haodong, did you report to Zhang Zhengyang, secretary of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee, on the situation of the Municipal Public Security Bureau?" And asked Secretary Zhang Zhengyang to do the necessary communication with the Haizhou Municipal Public Security Bureau? ”

"Those who know me, Lao Feng, you too."

"Look, let me tell you." Feng Xinggui said: "Now there is a popular word called Meng, Haodong, you are so cute." The Municipal Public Security Bureau has dual leadership, one is our Municipal Party Committee, and the other is the Haizhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, but there is a difference in the leadership of the two. In terms of work, that is, specific business, it is mainly led or guided by the Haizhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, and in terms of personnel or organization, it is mainly responsible for our Yunling Municipal Party Committee. There is a difference between 51 percent and 49 percent, for example, in terms of personnel arrangements, our Yunling City Party Committee can make arrangements first and then report. ”

Xu Haodong sighed, "In other words, I could have cut first and then played, but I put the cart before the horse." ”

"This is the reason why you are too duty-bound, if you report the situation while reporting the new personnel arrangements, this is called duty, if you first report the new personnel arrangements, and then report why there are new personnel arrangements, this is called excessive, if you only report the new personnel arrangements, and do not report why there are new personnel arrangements, this is called too unduty."

Xu Haodong nodded while listening, "Lao Feng, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." ”

"I'm not done yet." Feng Xinggui said: "Haodong, your duty and duty have caused a serious consequence, that is, you can't win the hearts of the people, especially the hearts of the people in the two teams. ”

"Oh, I'm a little puzzled by this, so I'll have to ask you for advice."

"You know, don't pretend to be stupid." Feng Xinggui said: "You are duty, no one dares to follow you, such as me, you are too duty, no one can afford you, such as Yao Qiming, the director of our Municipal Public Security Bureau." And you are excessive, everyone respects you and stays away from you, such as Mayor Lin Jianfeng, you are too much, everyone is waiting to see your jokes, such as Secretary Guo Tao, who fell not long ago. ”

Xu Haodong nodded again and said: "It makes sense, in the competition for power, in the use of power schemes, you Lao Feng is indeed duty, you actually have already mastered some of the criminal facts of the three fallen secretaries, if you fight hard, maybe your deputy secretary's adverb can be removed long ago." As for Yao Qiming, he is really too responsible in terms of power, and there are nine people in the party committee of the bureau, I am afraid that there will be no more than three people who sincerely follow him, and he is too cowardly. ”

"So." Feng Xinggui said with a smile: "I want to encourage you, I will give you these two bottles of Moutai, let's drink them together, say goodbye to that kind of duty, and let you reach the situation of controlling the overall situation as soon as possible." ”

Xu Haodong smiled bitterly: "I can't even control a city public security bureau, so how can I control the overall situation." ”

Feng Xinggui said: "Isn't there an opportunity now, as long as you let the power in your hands be a little willful, you can control the entire Municipal Public Security Bureau." ”

"Can you help me?" Xu Haodong simply opened the skylight and said something bright.

"Help." Feng Xinggui was also not ambiguous.

"Let's talk about the conditions first." Xu Haodong smiled, "Otherwise, I won't be able to drink this wine, if you say that you are learning from Lei Feng, I won't even be able to drink a sip." ”

Feng Xinggui glanced in the direction of the kitchen and whispered: "I don't have any pursuit myself, I'm just for her, if I don't help her, I'm afraid I won't be able to marry her." Haodong, I can't help it, women are difficult. ”

Xu Haodong smiled, and was about to open his mouth to answer, when he saw Yan Fang and Xu Yunjie coming out of the kitchen with the dishes, he swallowed the words back into his stomach.
