Li Weidong heard Wang Hai say that Secretary Lu had never belittled or accused him, and even spoke highly of him, so he didn't believe it in his heart, and puffed out his eyes and said: "Lao Wang, this is the insidious and cunning of Lu Zhiyao: he knows that you have a good relationship with me, so he will definitely not say bad things about me in front of you, so as not to take retaliatory measures against him after reaching my ears and affecting his good future." As for you saying that the person who suppressed me was his father-in-law and not himself, does it make any difference? If it weren't for Lu Zhiyao fanning the flames in front of his father-in-law, how could he be so desperate to put me to death? Taking a step back, if Lu Zhiyao is a good person, why didn't he persuade him and stop him when his father-in-law suppressed me? ”

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Wang Hai sighed and said, "Lao Li, you are now burned with hatred, and you are a little stubborn. The so-called 'a leaf obstructs you can't see Mount Tai', which is a true portrayal of your current state. I don't know what kind of relationship you had with Secretary Lu at the beginning, but I can be sure of one thing: you don't know anything about his character, personality and open-mindedness. If you have a deep understanding of him, you will know that he is a good leader who is upright, open-minded, elegant and magnanimous, and has a very high level of leadership art and leadership.

"Because you don't know his true character, and you have deep contradictions when you were young, you have always been prejudiced and misunderstood against him, thinking that he also has a deep hatred in his heart like you, and he is always thinking about calculating you and suppressing you. In fact, according to my judgment, he has long since put aside the conflict between you and him, and he has never thought of stomping you to death so that you will never be able to turn over. ”

When he said this, Wang Hai saw that Li Weidong had a contemplative expression on his face, and knew that what he had just said had already had an effect, so he deliberately paused for a moment, and suddenly changed the topic and asked: "Lao Li, there is only one year left until next year's party congress, how are you prepared?" This party congress is your last chance to step up, so you must take advantage of it! If you can't go to the next level next year, you can only go to the National People's Congress, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference or other idle departments to retire like me. I know you're still ambitious and ambitious, so make sure you plan ahead and go for it. You should know better than me if everything is foreseen, and if you don't prepare, you should know this truth better than me. ”

Li Weidong was chewing on his exhortation just now, but he didn't expect him to suddenly change the topic and talk about his promotion, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, his face showed a trace of frustration, and said sullenly: "You know my situation, in the central decision-making level, it is an embarrassing state of uncle not loving grandma and grandmother." Although I have worked with several leaders at the decision-making level, they have only been general acquaintances. Only Chief Seven has a better relationship with me, but only a little better, and he doesn't have a particularly deep and intimate relationship, and it's already very good that he can help me solve the problem at the deputy ministerial level. If I want to go further, he will not necessarily help me, and he may not be able to help me: after all, from the deputy ministerial level to the ministerial level, the number one and second leaders have to be checked personally, and it just so happens that I have no intersection with these two leaders. So, my only hope now is Director Wu Dongsheng, and if he is willing to do his best to help me, maybe I can still have some hope. Otherwise, I will have to retire like you. ”

Wang Hai knew that Li Weidong, like Secretary Lu when he was young, was a department-level cadre before he was 30 years old, and he worked in the central organs. Unexpectedly, he later worked in the position of the main hall for nearly 20 years, and only climbed to the position of vice minister of science and technology in his fifties, which was a big surprise, and he himself has always been haunted and extremely unwilling.

Therefore, his most urgent idea now is to do everything possible to go to the next level, strive to be promoted to the ministerial level before the age of 60, and then make achievements in his new post, so that although there is still a little gap between him and the expectations of his relatives and friends, he can finally say that it is reasonable, and his dignity and face are maintained. Otherwise, it is estimated that he will die blindly......

Thinking of this, Wang Hai couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him in his heart, raised his eyes and said, "Lao Li, in fact, you have another way to go besides Director Wu's line, but you didn't think of it." ”

Li Weidong's eyes lit up, grabbed Wang Hai's hand, and asked in an urgent tone: "What way?" Who else can help me other than Director Wu? ”

"Secretary Lu, now only Secretary Lu can help you realize your wishes!"

Li Weidong let out an "ah", looked at Wang Hai dumbfounded, and said angrily for a long time: "Old Wang, what are you kidding?" Is it interesting that I kindly asked you for advice, but you used this kind of joke to amuse me? ”

Wang Hai shook his head and said, "I'm not joking, let alone entertaining you. Lao Li, I have to remind you: if you want to follow the line of Director Wu, you have to turn to Secretary Lu's relationship in the end. Why? Because the relationship between Secretary Lu and Director Wu is extraordinary, if Secretary Lu really wants to suppress you and trample you to death as you imagined, you only need to say hello to Director Wu, and your hope of promotion will be shattered like a mirror. ”

Speaking of this, he took a sip of a cup of tea on the table, continued to squint his eyes and said, "Lao Li, before you came to the teahouse, didn't you turn a few corners in your mind and think about it?" Why were you able to eat at the same table with Director Wu's nephew Yi Xiaonan today? Why are you here waiting to meet Director Wu? If there is no relationship with Ye Ming, and without the face of Secretary Lu behind Ye Ming, do you think Director Wu and Yi Xiaonan will eat at the same table and drink tea in the same box with you? ”

Seeing that Li Weidong was still silent, Wang Hai continued to point at him: "Lao Li, you should have guessed: Ye Ming went to Beijing to meet you this time, which was arranged by Secretary Lu, in order to resolve the grudge in your heart and ease the relationship between you. The reason why Director Wu and Yi Xiaonan are willing to get to know you must also be the result of Secretary Lu's work. In fact, Secretary Lu's arrangements have already shown you an attitude: he is willing to help you go to the next level, and he is willing to turn enemies into friends with you.

"Mr. Lu Xun has two poems, called 'Spend all the catastrophe brothers, meet with a smile and enmity', although you and Secretary Lu are not brothers, but in the past were colleagues and friends, this is always right! He is willing to resolve grievances and conflicts with you, and is willing to help you, why can't you be more open-minded?

"You should also know that Secretary Lu is not only close friends with Director Wu, but also has a very close and deep relationship with the No. 1 and No. 2 leaders. What's more, he is very likely to join the Standing Committee at next year's party congress, and if he wants to help you, there is an 80 percent chance that your wish to be promoted to the ministerial level will come true. On the other hand, if you still hate him and want to fight him to the end, you may really be able to pull him down, but your hope of promotion is zero, and there may even be unforeseen disasters - have you figured this out? ”
