The leading organ of the army planned to hold an on-site meeting in a school directly under the southern part of the country with the main content of strengthening administrative management, and this school had been busy preparing for this on-site meeting for several months, and the director of the bureau, in accordance with the instructions of the head of the department, was ready to take Zhang Guangyuan to inspect the preparations for the on-site meeting; Zhang Guangyuan considered that Zheng Gang had served in this school for several months and was familiar with the situation of the school, so he suggested to the director that Zheng Gang should also go, and the director's surname was Cui, who was only three years older than Zhang Guangyuan, and he always attached importance to the suggestions of the old staff officer. agreed to let Zheng Gang go with him.

They first listened to the brief report of the school for half an hour, and then carefully checked the driving route, the setting of the adjustment whistle, the on-site layout, the commentary, the content of the visit, and the introduction of the experience of the conference in accordance with the procedures of the official meeting of the on-site meeting.

The principal of the school was a classmate of Director Cui when he was studying at the National Defense University, and he was also a fellow villager not far from his hometown, so the dinner that day was naturally sumptuous and the atmosphere was naturally warm. After dinner, Director Cui summoned Zhang Guangyuan and Zheng Gang to his room in the school guest house, where he was going to work out an outline for exchanging views with the school the next day.

"Both of you have shared your views on the school's preparations, and I am quite satisfied with the inspection." Director Cui's alcohol-stained face, which shone in the soft light, said excitedly.

Zhang Guangyuan was a little unhappy when Director Cui first set the tone for the preparations for the school's on-site meeting, and he pondered the words and said: "The school's preparatory work is generally not bad, but there are still some deficiencies in some aspects, which need to be further grasped. ”

"Oh, what's missing? Let's talk about it! Director Cui asked Zhang Guangyuan.

"The main thing is to show more things on the surface and less to introduce the inner content. The hardware facilities of several visits to the site made people look excited, and the content of some rules and regulations made people suspicious. Zhang Guangyuan observed Director Cui's expression, and then said, "This school is just a teacher-level unit, there are not many students, and the scale of the newly built facilities does not match the teaching task. The standards of some rules and regulations are set too high, and it is very difficult to implement them, and after the issuance of these rules and regulations, whether they can be implemented in actual work will also make people doubtful. ”

"There's some truth to what you say." Director Cui's expression was a little unnatural, but he still nodded and affirmed Zhang Guangyuan's words. He turned his head to Zheng Gang again and said, "Xiao Zheng, tell me your opinion." ”

Zheng Gang originally thought that on this business trip, there were bureau leaders and old staff officers who came out together, and he followed behind, mainly to learn and understand the situation, and he was not prepared to say much. Now the director of the bureau has allowed himself to express his opinion by name, and because he was inspired by Zhang Guangyuan's speech just now, he also seriously expressed his views: "I have worked and studied here for a period of time, and frankly speaking, although this school has not had any major problems in administrative management in the past, it has not made great achievements, and there have been some signs of accidents. Today, through watching and listening, the initial impression is that there is a new feeling in the construction of the facilities, of course, this is a lot of money in exchange, there are funds from the superiors, and there are also school backgrounds. I agree with some of Staff Officer Zhang's statements, on the one hand, the school's institutional standards are set too high, and some management measures and management methods still give people a sense of déjà vu, there is no innovation, new bottles of old wine, leftovers are reprocessed, and it is a copy of the old past. ”

Zheng Gang saw that Director Cui's face was not very good-looking, so he didn't say any more.

Zhang Guangyuan continued: "I think the school should take this conference as an opportunity to not only introduce the experience, but also summarize the lessons, not only to inspire others, but also to promote themselves. As the leading organ of the military academies, we should give correct guidance and turn this meeting into both on-the-spot and seminar, so as to explore new ways to strengthen the administrative management of military academies and universities under the new situation. ”

The 'red face' on the director's face had subsided, he nodded again, and said calmly: "The two of you have very sincere opinions, and your words are very straightforward, and I am very inspired. In this way, tonight I will combine the opinions of the two of you with my ideas to make an outline, as the basis for tomorrow's exchange of opinions with the school, and affirm the achievements of their work, but also point out the shortcomings, the time is not early, you both go back to rest, and I will work overtime. ”

When the two of them returned to the room where they lived, Zheng Gang said to Zhang Guangyuan: "Director Cui didn't seem to be very happy to listen to the opinions of the two of us, so I didn't say more about some things. ”

Zhang Guangyuan shook his head and said: "I don't think so, Director Cui is still a good leader, he is more cautious in speaking and doing things in the organs, and he is a person who sometimes dare not tell the truth, and sometimes he does not want to tell lies." Although he doesn't know much about the situation of this school, he can't see the slightest problem, he just doesn't want to find out. The opinions of both of us can prompt him to objectively evaluate the preparations for the school's conference, and this is the role of the staff officer. The staff around the chief, under normal circumstances, speak softly, but once the chief listens to you, he can change his determination and turn your original advice into instructions and orders. Therefore, we must dare to uphold the correct opinions, and whether the leaders are happy or not, we would rather be criticized for telling the truth than being praised for telling lies. ”

"Although I haven't been here for a long time, I can see that some people tell the truth, some leaders don't want to see them, some people don't tell the truth, and some leaders appreciate it."

"Yes, there are too many people nowadays who like to listen to good words or flattery of themselves. Flattering words, like 'Wang Zhihe' in a non-staple food store, everyone says it stinks, and everyone wants to eat it. In particular, there are some leading cadres who are very comfortable after listening to the flattery, and they are always reluctant to take off the 'emperor's new clothes' on their bodies. Flattery is a kind of art of speaking that can please the leader without spending money, and people who flatter people can generally get some benefits from the people who are flattered. Some people are willing to listen, some people are willing to speak, so this phenomenon cannot be eradicated. ”

Zheng Gang listened to Zhang Guangyuan's words, and had a deeper understanding of the old staff officer in front of him, who also had some prejudices in the past, and he sincerely said to Zhang Guangyuan: "Staff Officer Zhang, I admire your unique views on some issues. ”

"Don't dare to teach, let's learn from each other!" Zhang Guangyuan said: "Since you are working in an organ, you must adapt to the environment of the organ as soon as possible; if you are a towering tree, others will look up to you, and if you are just a small grass, sometimes it is inevitable that you will be trampled under the feet of others, and a staff officer in an organ is like a small grass." But the grass has the role of the grass, and the grass has the dignity of the grass. For a period of time, there has been a bad atmosphere in society, seeing the wind and steering the rudder, following the tide, the change of face in Sichuan opera seems to have no secret at all, and many people in the officialdom will change, but this kind of change is not art, it can only be called 'deception'. We are staff officers working in military organs, and we must stress principle and flexibility at the same time, and pay special attention not to being two kinds of people, one who obeys orders and the other who does not obey orders. ”

Zheng Gang said with feeling: "When I was a child, I was mainly taken care of by a nanny, and she was a little indulgent to me, which caused me to be informal in my life and willful in my speech. When I was in middle school, I went home once a week, and when I was in college, I went home once a month, and when I came home, my mother washed my clothes and my father brainwashed me, which made me very annoyed. After listening to your words today, I am very educated, and it can be said that 'a conversation with you is better than ten years of study'. ”

Zhang Guangyuan smiled and said: "You underestimate our education cause too much, and you also overestimate the weight of the words of a non-education worker. ”

"I'm not a person who likes to flatter leaders, I speak from the heart." Zheng Gang said seriously, "I hate to listen to the statement of the 'second generation of officials' the most, even though it exists in real life. Some people say that the career of the children of high-ranking cadres is smooth, all green lights, no red lights, even if the road of life is tortuous, it can be straightened by the hands of the father. I work far away from my parents, I just don't want to be under a big tree, I want to have my own piece of world, and of course, it's sometimes difficult to do that. ”

Zhang Guangyuan also said seriously: "I don't think it's easy for you to think like this and try to do what you think." I used to be prejudiced against the children of high-ranking cadres, and it should be said that many of you have obvious weaknesses, but you also have outstanding strengths. Parents are for the good of their children, and when children are children, they cannot resist their parents or have a rebellious mentality. Let's talk about work later, you are in your thirties, it is time to start a family, your parents must be very anxious about this matter, I may not be able to help you much on this issue, you have to hurry up yourself. ”

"My parents must have been anxious about my marriage, but they also knew that one generation thought differently from one generation to another, and respected my choice. I don't have high requirements for finding a girlfriend now, and I insist on the 'three no's', that is, I don't look for a high education, I don't look for a tall figure, and I don't look for a high-ranking child, but I must find an upright, kind, and reasonable person. Speaking of which, I remembered a funny thing, my cousin, who is my aunt's daughter, had a boyfriend, and the family asked her what the young man looked like, and my cousin mischievously said that he was tall, thin, fair-skinned, handsome, and cool! My grandmother hurriedly said on the side, girl, we only need to be handsome, don't stay in it, and we can't have a man who loves to cry! ”

Zhang Guangyuan was amused by Zheng Gang's words, he looked at his watch and said: "The two of us just talk, it's almost twelve o'clock, hurry up and go to bed, if you can't wake up at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, I'll screw your ears." ”
