Ye Ming hadn't figured out why Liu Ziliang suddenly stood beside his bed, and Liu Ziliang spoke softly again: "Director Ye, I'm sorry, I woke you up." I came here today to sincerely apologize to you, and I hope Director Ye will forgive me for my presumptuousness and recklessness! ”

When Ye Ming heard Liu Ziliang's words, he completely sobered up, and stared at Liu Ziliang's face with a little panic expression a little suspiciously, unable to figure out what medicine he was selling in his gourd, and how to answer him, so he had to sit there silently and watch how Liu Ziliang performed next.

Liu Ziliang saw that Ye Ming was expressionless and didn't say a word, thinking that he was still hating himself, and his heart was even more flustered, and he suddenly raised his right hand, raised the two "and the world" cigarettes in his hand in front of Ye Ming, and said with a smile: "Director Ye, I know you like to smoke." It just so happened that when I went back last night, a comrade-in-arms came to see me and brought me two cigarettes, and I brought them to you today......

"Director Ye, I don't mean anything else, I just feel that on the night you came, District Chief Yan and I were a little uncalm, said some sorry things for you, and did some sorry things for you. Moreover, when you called me to have dinner this morning, I was discussing with Captain Chen Guitian about the arrest of a murder fugitive with a lot of cases, and I was quite anxious, so I said a few angry words at that time, and now I feel very ashamed when I think about it.

"Later, when Captain Chen Guitian knew that the person who called me was you, Director Ye, he severely criticized me and introduced to me in detail the situation of Director Ye, saying that you are a young hero with a big belly, great energy, courage, knowledge, affection and righteousness, and also an aspiring young man with both civil and military skills, outstanding ability, and a great future. After listening to his criticism of me and your introduction, I was really ashamed! Captain Chen said at the time that I had no beads in my eyes, and that I looked down on people with dog eyes, and I thought these two sentences were completely correct.

"At that time, Captain Chen asked me to call you to apologize and ask for your understanding. However, I didn't do that. I think: I have done so many things to be sorry for Director Ye, and I have said so many sorry things about Director Ye, if I just make a phone call, it is far from being able to express my remorse and sincerity of apology. Therefore, after I had a meeting in the team in the morning, I hurriedly grabbed two mouthfuls of food and put it in my stomach, and I rushed to find you non-stop. I hope that Director Ye will forgive me for my ignorant actions and rude words in the past for the sake of my sincerity. In the future, I will treat you as my own brother. If anyone dares to do anything to your brother again, the first one with my surname Liu is not polite to him. ”

Liu Ziliang's long apology and compliments made Ye Ming get goosebumps all over his body. Especially when he heard Liu Ziliang himself say that he "has eyes but no beads" and "dog's eyes look down on people", he almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

However, he knows: No matter how numb Liu Ziliang's words are, how they give him goosebumps, and how ridiculous they are, he must not show a bored or ridiculous expression on his face - because during this period of time, he has been reflecting on some of the fundamental reasons why he was not suitable for mixing in officialdom in the past and could not be promoted. One of them, which he thinks is very fatal, is that he will not cater to and compliment his superiors, and at the same time, he is not used to those who are sycophants, and he is not used to listening to those sycophants.

But in the real officialdom, Ye Ming perceived: If you don't understand and cater to the leader's intentions, don't say good things to the leader in a timely manner, and don't bow down in front of the leader, then the leader won't pay attention to you at all, won't value you at all, and won't be able to promote you and reuse you - of course, this is relative to most leaders, not absolute. Some leaders, such as Secretary Lee Yun-gi, may not fall into this category. But officials like Secretary Li are in the minority after all. Therefore, this point of view is still valid.

Correspondingly, if you want to be a leader, then you must have a stomach that can listen to all kinds of words: first of all, of course, the words of criticism must be listened to, which is the basic self-cultivation and bearing of a leader. Secondly, for the sycophancy and praise of your subordinates, even if these sycophants and praise words are numb and goosebumps, you must have the patience and courage to listen. Moreover, this is actually a kind of self-cultivation. Because once you become an official, you will inevitably encounter a situation where your subordinates are sycophants. If you blindly hate this behavior, blindly reject this behavior. Then, your subordinates will think that you are pretending to be high-minded, that you are unapproachable, and that you are impersonal. As a result, they are likely to distance themselves from you and turn away from you. In that case, your "noble behavior" that you can't listen to sycophants is likely to inadvertently offend many subordinates, and it is very likely that you, the leader, will become a "lonely person" from above......

It is precisely because he has figured this out that Ye Ming is now gradually able to tolerate those behaviors of slapping horses, and he is gradually able to take the initiative to lower his posture to cater to the intentions of his superiors. Although he felt a little ashamed and embarrassed about this change in himself, he knew that this was the path of psychological transformation that he had to go through after stepping into officialdom, and he knew that he could not do it......

For example, now, when Liu Ziliang said such a meaty and goosebumpy thing to himself, if it had been two years ago, he would definitely not have bought his account, and he might even sneer at him.

But now, his mindset is different. Therefore, he tried his best to control the disgust in his heart for Liu Ziliang's words, and after he finished speaking, he deliberately pondered for a moment, and then showed a little smile, and said unhurriedly: "Captain Liu, you are serious!" If I had cared about your attitude towards me, I wouldn't have called you to dinner this morning, would I? I think like this: We are all classmates, and you, Captain Liu, are my seniors, and in terms of position, you are still my leader. So, I should respect you and take the initiative to have a good relationship with you, which will also help us get along under one roof in the future, right?

"What's more, I am also good friends with Captain Chen Guitian of your Criminal Investigation Corps, and we have drunk together many times. Moreover, I am also very familiar with you, Director Guo. Since you and Captain Chen are in the same unit and department, there will be more reasons for us to be close to each other and a foundation for forming good friends. Therefore, although there is a little festival and misunderstanding between us, you and I are both manly husbands, and we will never be haunted and remembered for such a small holiday. That's why I'm calling you for a drink. Hehe! ”
