For a leader of Secretary Lu's level, when it comes to sensitive issues such as the evaluation of cadres or job adjustments, they generally will not take a position easily. [No pop-ups] Today he was able to say to Ye Ming that he wanted Wang Xiuguang to "work hard and not have ideological baggage", and clearly told him: Regarding his problems, "the provincial committee will consider it carefully, let him rest assured!" These few words have actually shown his attitude, that is, he will not deal with Wang Xiuguang.

However, after all, Ye Ming had little experience in officialdom, so he didn't understand Secretary Lu's seemingly ambiguous words, and he didn't react, staring at Secretary Lu's kind face in a daze, not knowing how he would relay Secretary Lu's words to Wang Xiuguang later.

Seeing his blank expression, Secretary Lu knew that he had just said something, and he couldn't understand the meaning for the time being. So, he smiled mildly and said, "Child, wait a minute, relay what I just said to Wang Xiuguang, he naturally knows what I mean." ”

Ye Ming nodded a little ignorantly, and said, "Thank you, Secretary Lu, I will convey your words to Mayor Wang." ”

Secretary Lu looked at his son, who had not yet entered the Tao in the officialdom, with loving eyes, and suddenly had an idea in his heart: this time, simply let Ye Ming be a good person to the end, and he made a clear promise to him, so that Wang Xiuguang would feel his kindness for the rest of his life. Although this is against his own work principles, he is willing to violate this principle for the sake of his son's future development environment, a good social network and connections, and in order to boost his self-confidence......

So, after thinking for a while, he said to Ye Ming again: "Child, there are some things that should not be told to you here, nor should they be revealed in advance. However, this is the first time that you have asked for help from someone else, and I am sure that you will not spread my words again. Therefore, I will give you a clear answer to the matter of Wang Xiuguang: Before you come to my office, I do have an idea to remove Wang Xiuguang's mayoral position and arrange him to take any idle post in the Provincial Political Consultative Conference or the Department of Culture.

"But after listening to your evaluation of him today, I think my original opinion of him may be a little biased, and there are also problems of emotionality and biased listening. Therefore, I now have an idea: Wang Xiuguang must be transferred out of K City, but he can be considered to serve in the Provincial Department of Land and Resources, because the current director of the Department of Land and Resources has reached the age of retirement, and the Provincial Party Committee does not yet have a suitable candidate for the new director. Judging from your reaction and Wang Xiuguang's resume, it is quite appropriate for him to serve as the director of the Department of Land and Resources. You can tell him exactly what I said. However, this is only my personal opinion, and whether he can hold the post of director of this department will have to be studied and decided by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Therefore, I will not give him this package ticket. ”

Although Ye Ming doesn't know much about the rules of officialdom, he also knows that a leader of Secretary Lu's level, under normal circumstances, will not be full of words, let alone easily promise to subordinates or others. But today, Secretary Lu not only made a promise to him, but also told him that he could tell Wang Xiuguang to hear this. This made him both surprised and moved, and he said a little embarrassed: "Secretary Lu, you are so good to me!" I feel that you are not like a provincial party secretary to me at all, but like a very close elder to me, which makes me feel very warm, cordial and down-to-earth. I only now understand what others have summed up: the bigger the official, the smaller the shelf, and the easier it is to be a relative! ”

When Secretary Lu heard Ye Ming say, "You don't look like a provincial party secretary to me at all, but like a very close elder to me, which makes me feel very warm, cordial, and down-to-earth", he only felt a stirring in his heart and almost shed tears: Child, do you know? I was originally your father, and I was originally your very close elder!

At the same time, he also felt very relieved: as long as Ye Ming felt his love for him and felt a strong family affection, then his goal today would be achieved. As long as he has this kind of family-like feeling in his heart, he will not be very abrupt if he wants to recognize him in the future......

Therefore, after Ye Ming finished saying that, he couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke his head a few times, saying, "Child, you are now considered an orphan. And I don't have any relatives in Tianjiang. As long as you don't dislike me as an old antique, you will treat me as your elder. I still say the same thing: As long as you want, you can come to the provincial party committee to see me at any time. We can communicate with each other often and discuss topics of interest. ”

Ye Ming nodded, turned around and picked up his big satchel, carefully took out the "Yazhai Thin Bamboo Picture" in a box, held it in his hand, and said to Secretary Lu: "Secretary Lu, this is a work by Mr. Zheng Banqiao, a famous calligrapher and painter in the Qing Dynasty, and it is a poetry and painting, called "Yazhai Thin Bamboo Picture". You are a master of calligraphy and painting, and you are very interested in calligraphy and antiques. Therefore, I would like to ask you to identify this painting to see if this painting is the authentic work of Zheng Banqiao. ”

As soon as Secretary Lu heard his words, he knew that he wanted to give this painting to himself, and he couldn't help but laugh a little in his heart: his son came to him as a father to do something, and he actually wanted to give himself a gift, which is too ridiculous!

Moreover, he estimated: This painting must be Wang Xiuguang's, and he entrusted Ye Ming to bribe himself, the secretary of the provincial party committee. Because, with Ye Ming's experience and age, he would never have thought of using such a more elegant way to give gifts to himself. To put it bluntly, only an old official like Wang Xiuguang can understand the tricks of gift-giving, and can also understand his habits and hobbies. It is estimated that it is impossible for a person like Ye Ming who knows nothing about officialdom to think of such a "elegant bribe" as sending antique calligraphy and paintings to the leader.

Therefore, he just looked at the box, then waved his hand at Ye Ming, and said earnestly: "Child, if my estimate is correct, this painting was given to you by Wang Xiuguang, right?" You have to remember that whoever asks you to come to me in the future will not accept any gifts from him, and I will not accept any gifts from you! This is the basic principle of my official life, and I hope you will remember this in the future: for an official and an official, ethics comes first. You should remember a famous sentence of Lin Zexu: The sea is tolerant of all rivers, and tolerance is great; The wall stands thousands of people, and if there is no desire, it is rigid! At all times, we must maintain a clean and honest conduct and stick to the bottom line of clean government! Only in this way can we always be invincible! Do you understand what I mean? ”
