The small two-story buildings in a military compound outside Beijing's West Third Ring Road are dormitories for military cadres, and the general staff in the compound call them "generals' buildings." Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Vice Minister Qiao Xin'an of the Planning Department lives downstairs in the west unit of the front row.

Some people say that the elements of eating are to be the deputy of the official. This is a somewhat ridiculous sentence, there are not a few deputy positions are unwilling to adjust the position, it means nothing more than to say that in a unit, the principle of major matters is determined by the main post, and the small things are implemented by the department separately, and the work of the deputy leader is relatively easy, but Qiao Xin'an, the deputy minister, is a little tired. Originally, there was a saying in the organ called "the secretary does it, the leader speaks", which means that the written materials such as summaries and reports are generally written by the secretary and read by the leader. As a matter of fact, the main energy of some secretaries is not in drafting the speech materials of the chief, and the speech materials are generally written by people from the relevant functional departments, and the secretary is mainly responsible for arranging the official activities of the chief and handling some miscellaneous matters related to the chief's personal or family affairs. After the materials written by the functional departments are reported, the secretary only adds oil and vinegar to the taste of the chief, and then submits them to the chief for approval.

Vice Minister Qiao Xin'an seems to be a bit special, and the relevant personnel must be summoned to study the outline of important written materials, and after the first draft is drafted and submitted by the subordinates, he will revise it repeatedly. He attaches great importance to the establishment of ideas and arguments in the materials, and the verification of figures and examples, which he considers to be the basic principles of drafting written materials; He also particularly hates the use of patchwork sentences and slipping through the text as flashy or sensational.

Tomorrow morning, the head of the department will be invited to attend and speak at the inauguration ceremony of the newly built life service center of the research institute directly under the Ministry of Planning, and the administrative management of the Ministry of Planning will be in charge of another vice minister, Yin Gang, who will go down to the grassroots level with the working group of the headquarters tomorrow, and Minister Qiu Zhengliang, who was hospitalized in the General Hospital, called Qiao Xinan to attend. After Qiao Xin'an watched the news broadcast after dinner, he lay on the table in the study, preparing to write a simple outline, make some preparations in advance, and make an impromptu speech when the time came.

There was a soft knock on the door outside.

"Go and open the door, it should be Secretary Cui who is here." Qiao Xinan shouted to his wife Long Chuanzhen, who was reading the newspaper in the living room, and instructed her, "Let him bring the materials to the study for me." ”

Secretary Cui entered the study, handed the materials to Qiao Xin'an and said, "Chief, you have found the relevant materials of the life service center of the research institute, and Director Chen just called and said that he will pick you up tomorrow morning for breakfast." I asked him about some of the life service centers, and he said that the newly built centers are fully equipped and should be among the best in the division-level units of the PLA stationed in Beijing, and that after the center is put into operation, it will greatly improve the station's logistical support capacity and the quality of life of the staff. ”

Qiao Xin'an pointed to the chair next to him, asked Secretary Cui to sit down, and said to him: "Xiao Cui, tell Director Chen, you don't need him to pick you up tomorrow, it's not that we don't know the way, we will have breakfast at home and go by ourselves." In addition, I will tell you some things again: The quality of a unit's work depends not only on what the leaders of the unit say, but also on what they do, and in particular, on the feedback of the masses. At present, individual leaders, listening to him, the masses are so moved that they clap their hands, and when they see him doing things, the masses are so angry that they stomp their feet. The administrative work of the ministry is not under my responsibility, and I have not asked much about this matter, so I will have to speak tomorrow, but there are some things that I will not tell the masses at the meeting, and I will also tell the leaders of the institute at the meeting. The institute is located in the downtown area, with supermarkets and vegetable markets outside the walls, special canteens and flavor snack bars at the door, and a small unit with only a few hundred staff, is it necessary to spend tens of millions of yuan to build such a large life service center? At present, we are advocating the socialization of livelihood security, and we should integrate the small society into the big society, rather than divide the big society into small society. ”

Secretary Cui listened to Qiao Xin'an's words, and said with some embarrassment: "This construction project of the institute was supported by Vice Minister Yin and approved by Minister Qiu------.

"Don't worry about this." Qiao Xinan said to Secretary Cui, "This is the case, I will not raise objections to the construction of this project now, but I just want to warn the comrades in the institute that since the facilities have been completed, we must strengthen management and pay attention to playing its role." I'll take a look at the materials you brought, and the bottom number in my heart will be greater, okay, you can go back and rest quickly! ”

Qiao Xin'an walked out of the study with Secretary Cui, he saw a beautiful handbag in the door, and asked Secretary Cui, "This is what you brought just now, what is in it?" ”

"A comrade from a provincial military district in the south just brought a new tea, saying that Deputy Commander Cui, who was transferred from our organ, bought it at his own expense, and gave one to each of the three heads of the Planning Department."

"Send my share to Minister Feng upstairs, he loves to drink tea, and he has to tell him that both the new and old heads have a share, don't say that this copy is for me."

Secretary Cui reluctantly carried the tea to the second floor.

Seeing off Secretary Cui, Long Chuanzhen entered the study and said to Qiao Xin'an: "I just heard the general meaning of what you said to Secretary Cui outside, you don't want to go straight and not turn around again, and the new life service center of the research institute is not the business scope you are in charge of, you just go and deal with it tomorrow, there is no need to be so serious." ”

Qiao Xin'an glanced at Long Chuanzhen and said unhappily: "I have told you many times, you don't talk too much about my work, it's useless to talk too much, I have my principles, and the principles will not change casually." ”

"You don't call it principle, it's called stubbornness, you can stick to what is right, why can't you change what is wrong?"

Long Chuanzhen works in a certain department of a state organ and has just been promoted to the leader of a bureau-level department, she always says that some of Qiao Xin'an's views are outdated and outdated, and some of her practices are rigid and conservative, and sometimes she speaks unceremoniously to Qiao Xin'an and makes accusations.

"You have confused the criteria of 'right' and 'wrong', and what exists today is not necessarily reasonable." Qiao Xinan said to his wife unhappily, "Things in society are complicated, and our brains are also complicated, but in fact, some of the truths are very simple. Some people complicate simple truths, driven by profits, with other intentions, and in an attempt to muddy the waters. In the past, some people with lofty ideals did not bend their waists for five buckets of rice; Now some people who have no ambitions can bow their heads for a liter valley. In the past, there were some people who saw the wind and steered the rudder, drifted along the water, talked about people when they saw people, and talked nonsense when they saw ghosts; Now there are also some people who are disobedient to yin and duplicitous, and they talk nonsense no matter what they see or what they see. In the past, the reason why some undesirable phenomena in society became more and more serious was that some people were numb and tolerant, and numbness and tolerance were connivance and support. ”

"Don't always stare at those trivial and trivial things, you are a senior leading cadre, you must grasp the main contradictions, you must do what you need to do successfully, you must build a harmonious society, and you don't always do the things of sinners."

"Some people like to misinterpret the spirit of their superiors as a shield, otherwise they will become straw men on Zhuge Liang's boat in front of the masses. Think about it, why is it that some of the same leaders' work seems to be meticulous and ordinary, and the people have built a monument for him, and some of their political achievements seem to be prominent, but the people have cast a pillar of shame for him? Not all of the great men buried under the tall tombstones were the great men of history, but under many of the low mounds lay mortals of high morals, and the scales in the hearts of the masses could weigh a man in the balance. ”

------

After Qiao Xin'an and his wife's quarrel, he had no interest in reading the material anymore, and he sat alone in the chair and fell into deep thought.

Some people say that a marriage is a book, and most of the time, others can only see the cover of the book, but do not understand the contents. Married life, when you are young, is like poetry, when you are old, like prose, and the long time in between, it is a thick novel with plot twists. On the stage of life, Qiao Xin'an feels that the poems of his and his wife's passionate years have been read aloud, and the prose of the leisurely life in his later years has not yet begun to be written. Between husband and wife, it is not difficult to be physiologically mouth-to-mouth and physically close, but the difficult thing is to hold hands and connect hearts on the road of long-term life. Qiao Xinan is very envious of the retired old chiefs around him, who have been in love for a lifetime, or just sharing hardships and hardships, and are not loving partners for a lifetime at all, supporting each other and measuring the last leg of their lives with staggering steps. Their optimistic attitude towards life is enviable, and their expansive emotions are admirable. It is possible not to see the sun tomorrow, so enjoy today's moon to the fullest; It is possible that you will not be able to eat tomorrow's breakfast, so you will savor today's dinner carefully. Although the husband and wife are very old and their hard teeth are almost falling out, they can still gnaw the core of the fruit of love with relish.

The competitive Long Chuanzhen likes to look at everything with a critical eye, and measures and comments on what others say and do with his own standard size, which makes Qiao Xin feel uneasy. What's even more annoying is that she likes to talk irresponsible about the work of the Planning Department, which sometimes makes Qiao Xinan intolerable.

Qiao Xin'an felt very confused in his heart, and he greeted Long Chuanzhen, who was still reading the newspaper: "I'll go to Minister Feng's house to sit for a while!" ”

Then I went up to the second floor.
