The one who came to report the results of the "test" to Xu Haodong was Luo Xinliang, the head of the organization department.

"Haodong, the results are not very optimistic."

Xu Haodong asked Luo Xinliang to sit down and speak, "Old Luo, don't worry, speak slowly." ”

"I sent a text message to the 87 comrades, clearly informing them of the three additional measures for the audition, which are big data technology, psychological testing and polygraphs. 1. The results of additional measures are for reference only. Second, it can be refused. Third, the results are absolutely confidential. Fourth, the results will be destroyed after the end of the selection. ”

"Well, what happened?"

"One, big data technology, unanimously agreed. Second, psychological testing, seventy-one people agreed to participate. Three, polygraph, fifteen people agreed to participate. ”

"Lao Luo, everyone's enthusiasm is not high."

"Yes, I asked a few comrades, and there are several main reasons for this. One, don't believe in polygraphs. Second, I'm afraid that I won't be able to control it. Third, it is not a clear stipulation from the superiors. Fourth, they feel that the organization does not respect them enough. ”

Xu Haodong nodded, "These objections are all right. Lao Luo, did you show up to say it? ”

Luo Xinliang shook his head, "No." ”

"Oh, herein lies the problem."

"Haodong, what do you mean?"

"Inform them to have a meeting in Conference Room 3 in the afternoon, and there are two contents. One, let them watch the video and see the results of our polygraph yesterday. Second, I speak personally. ”

"I understand, Haodong, I'll do it right away. At 3 p.m., please be on time for your attendance. ”

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the building of the municipal administrative center.

Conference Room 3 on the 13th floor.

All the 87 department-level cadres who participated in the audition were present.

Luo Xinliang presided over the meeting, announced the first agenda item, and watched a video of the city leaders participating in the polygraph.

The video was shown for an hour, and a total of 29 municipal leaders participated in the polygraph test, including their conclusions, all of which were presented to the participants.

Then Xu Haodong took the stage to speak.

"Comrades, I have been focusing on two things recently, one is the preparation for the trade counterattack, and the other is the selection and allocation of municipal cadres. To be honest, the provincial party committee and the organization department of the provincial party committee have delegated great power to me and the municipal party committee, and the city party committee and I are under great pressure. What's the pressure? The pressure lies in the fact that if you are sick and raised, you will be sorry for the people and the party. ”

"I'm a person, I've always been above board, what do I have to say. I came up with the idea, and if there are any different opinions, they all come at me, don't blame Comrade Xinliang, don't blame the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. I'm a person, I have a lot of ideas, some good ideas, and some bad ideas. If any of you have offended you with bad intentions, I would like to apologize to you in advance. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Haodong got up and bowed 90 degrees.

"Comrades, the development of science and technology has reached such a point that if we were isolated from the world for a month or a few months, we would find that we have fallen behind society. I'm not very old, younger than most of you, but I'm actually more conservative. ”

"For example, mobile phones, in the past, only had a call function, but later they could send text messages, and now they can access the Internet, QQ WeChat official account, and so on. Since the beginning of this year, five people in the city have been hit and killed while walking and playing with mobile phones, and another 29 people have been injured, and there have been 137 traffic accidents caused by driving and playing with mobile phones, with a total of 17 dead and 93 injured. In this respect, I hate the misfortune that technology has brought to mankind. ”

"But, but. In the mighty tide of history, the individual is insignificant, the individual is helpless, and the power of science and technology tells us that you only have to adapt, otherwise you will be eliminated. In this respect, I actively adapted, because dodging didn't do anything. ”

"I know that people will not object to big data technology, because it is a relatively reliable technology. People don't have much of an opinion about psychometric tests, because they are now being used in various ways in all walks of life, when recruiting. People are against polygraphs, and to be honest, although I know that polygraphs measure the mind, which is similar to psychological tests, in fact, I am also against this thing. ”

"Machines are made by people, and it sounds a bit ridiculous to leave the fate of people to machines. When I was censored, the first time I faced a polygraph, I panicked, and it turned out to be the opposite of the truth. Later, the leader who examined me said to me, do you dare to take the polygraph test, this is the first test for you, and this test you are qualified. But you panicked in front of the polygraph, which means that you have a psychological problem and you have not passed the second test. Later, when I faced the polygraph, I was calm, because I knew that I was fine, and what was there to be afraid of. ”

"So, comrades, in the face of the test, it is first and foremost a matter of attitude, and I would like to ask comrades to correct their attitudes. Here, I would like to share with you the information that during the semi-finals, the candidates will be broadcast live on TV and the Internet. When the time comes, you will not only have to give a proposition speech, but also face questions from reporters and citizens. Think about it, is it the machine that is powerful, or the reporters and citizens in the live broadcast? ”

Someone responded: "Of course, the journalists and citizens are powerful. ”

Xu Haodong spread his hands and said, "So." Machines are dead, fixed, and non-discriminatory. And journalists and citizens are alive, and in the question session, their questions are not predetermined in advance, and they can ask any question. To be honest, I am most worried about this link, and when the time comes, I am afraid that some comrades will be speechless and will not be able to step down. ”

The attendees laughed.

"Comrades, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee and the provincial party committee attach great importance to the selection of city-level cadres this time, and they are paying close attention to it. And the provincial party committee handed over the power of selecting and appointing cadres to me, what should I do? I'm embarrassed because in my mind, everyone is good and deserves to be promoted. So I can't help it, I can only do everything possible to make things difficult for everyone. ”

"Yes, the so-called test, in my opinion, is difficult. There is a saying in the army that sweats more in peacetime and bleeds less in wartime. As for our cadre team, we would rather be made difficult in the selection and allocation than let corrupt officials and lazy officials go up. ”

There was applause in the room.

Xu Haodong stood up, waved his hand and said, "Comrades, I still say the same thing, it's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk." The selection and allocation of cadres this time is to fully embody the principle of openness, fairness, and justice. The final winner will definitely pass five levels and kill six generals, and he will definitely have to go through multiple tests. ”

"Stand aside, strength speaks. Comrades, I hope you have the courage to face it and be positive, and I hope that comrades can become winners. Here, on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee, I solemnly promise that even if you are not successfully elected this time, as long as you are the winner, the Municipal Party Committee will recommend it to the Provincial Party Committee and the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. ”

Amid applause, Xu Haodong ended his speech.

The outcome of the meeting was very satisfactory, and the eighty-seven candidates unanimously agreed to accept the "test".

Xu Haodong was very satisfied, returned to the office after the meeting, and talked with Luo Xinliang about the next work arrangement with great interest.

"Lao Luo, I heard that during the rematch, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee and brother provinces and cities will send people to watch?"
