Zhang Guangyuan, the team leader, is not considered an administrative position, and the director and deputy director are leading cadres appointed by their superiors, with white paper, black letters, and red official seals, which are kept in the file for a lifetime. Pen, fun, and cabinet www.biquge.info and the team leader is only a sentence from the bureau leader, let you do it, don't let you do it, don't let you do it, don't need to apply for approval, don't go through the form. To put it bluntly, the group leader, like other staff officers, is a "revolutionary masses", not a "leading cadre".

Zhang Guangyuan is 48 years old, he is an old staff officer, he understands everything in his heart, and when he sees colleagues with similar qualifications to himself, or even less than his own, stepping into leadership positions one after another, sometimes he also has a sour feeling in his heart, but most of the time he can still face it calmly, not to compare, not to have a fever on his face, not to be anxious, and still to do a team leader with only four members handily and just right.

Zhang Guangyuan has developed a habit over the years, as long as he is not out on a business trip or a meeting, he has to go to the office on Saturday or Sunday, deal with the things that are not done this week, and sort out the work he is going to do next week.

On Sunday morning, as soon as Zhang Guangyuan entered the office, he saw Chen Wenming sitting at his desk typing on a microcomputer, so he asked him strangely: "Didn't you help Xiao Chen finish all the materials on Friday, and what are you busy doing here?" ”

Chen Wenming turned around and said to Zhang Guangyuan: "I want to comprehensively sort out the basic situation of several subordinate units that will go on Minister Wang's business trip next week, and present it to the chief tomorrow for a look." ”

"Don't worry about business trips, there are still a few days to go, you can wait. You and I are different, I am with my wife and children every day, you and my wife and children have the opportunity to get together on weekends, some people are 'separated from each other', you are 'living in one place', I always feel that the family does not often live together, and cannot establish a relationship. When my wife was not in the army, every time my son saw me, he refused to call his father for the first few days, as if I was a 'military representative' stationed in his house. ”

"I see that your son has a deep relationship with you now." Chen Wenming said.

"He was only in the army with my wife when he was four years old, and when I first came to the army, I didn't know how to communicate with him emotionally, and I beat him up if I didn't obey. My son was funny, and at the beginning, he cried desperately when I slapped him, which made me embarrassed to do it. When he was six or seven years old, his stubborn personality was revealed, and his ability to resist blows was very strong, no matter how you beat him, he would not say a word. One time he didn't do well in the school exam, I beat him again, he rubbed his red and swollen ass and said to me: You hit me a total of nine times this semester. I said: You often can't remember what homework the teacher assigns, but you remember very well how many times I beat you, and I will beat you again today to make up a whole number so that you can remember it more clearly. The son gritted his teeth and said: You fight hard, and I will settle accounts with you when I grow up! After listening to my son's words, I stood there for a long time without relieving myself, and since then, I have never beaten him again, and I no longer discipline him as a 'parent', but learn to treat him as a 'friend'. ”

"Practice has shown that hitting children is a failed educational method." Chen Wenming said, "However, our bureau is a comprehensive department, there are many major and urgent matters, and there are many things directly assigned by the chief, which makes people walk on thin ice every day, as if they are on the edge of the abyss, and the work pressure is very high, and there is not too much time and too much patience to educate children." ”

Zhang Guangyuan nodded and said: "You are right, otherwise, some people would not say that our bureau is a 'nightclub' -- there are always meetings at night, either for research work or to discuss materials. ”

"However, busy work cannot be a reason to shirk the responsibility of educating children, I am ready to transfer my son from his grandmother to our school, and Liu Fu and Liu Fu will find a way to pick them up, the child is already pampered, and can no longer be used to raising."

Listening to Chen Wenming say this, Zhang Guangyuan said: "I agree with your statement, I think this young man Chenzhong has some pampering, and he can't do some simple things, some people have told me that he is the son of a high-ranking cadre, I asked Chenzhong, and he said that his parents are ordinary cadres. Now there are more children of cadres and people with special backgrounds who have been transferred to the organs, and it is enough to have Zheng Gang in our group. ”

"Staff Officer Zhang, this issue should be treated differently, and nothing can be generalized." Chen Wenming said to Zhang Guangyuan, "Zheng Gang is a little lazy and informal. Chen Zhong is different from Zheng Gang, he has a high desire for knowledge and is very self-motivated, but he has little social experience and seems to be a little immature. Some of the cadres have things that we workers and peasants are not accustomed to, such as being arrogant and overconfident, spending lavishly, and so on, but most of them are smarter, broad-minded, and dare to speak and speak, which some of us do not have. ”

Zhang Guangyuan nodded and said: "There is some truth in your words, the morning bell has not been here for a long time, he is humble and studious, he works hard, and he dares to express his own opinions, I have a good impression of him, but I am afraid that he will not last long, and I want to put more pressure on him." To tell the truth, I can't get used to those cadres in society who are seriously deficient in calcium, and they can't stand up straight when they see the leaders, as some people say, first bend their tongues, and then bend their backbones. The military is different from the localities, especially the staff of the leading organs, the chief's orders must be carried out, and their own opinions must be reflected; we all know that staff officers have the right to make suggestions three times, and staff officers often go to the front line to have the clearest understanding of the specific situation and the most right to speak; as long as you think it is a correct opinion, you must repeatedly state it to the chief, that is, in the past, the military ability to fight and the courage to admonish. can't say anything, when I saw that the leader's face was wrong, I was silent, I didn't dare to put a fart, I didn't dare to put a fart, I didn't conspire, what else is it called a staff officer? On this issue, the cadres have indeed done a better job than us. ”

"It should be said that on this issue, you are even better than the cadres and children!"

Zhang Guangyuan saw that Chen Wenming's attitude was very sincere when he spoke, and he blushed and said: "I am a person with a strong temper, and sometimes I admit death, which is one of the reasons why everyone has become a director and deputy director, and I am still a staff officer." ”

"If you only select cadres based on the results of mass deliberation, you should have become the director and deputy director of the bureau a long time ago." Chen Wenming still said sincerely.

Zhang Guangyuan listened to Chen Wenming's words and said with relief: "I can't say that, the cadre department is a comprehensive measurement and inspection of cadres, and I must have some defects that are not suitable for being a leader." To be honest, if I am really asked to be a leader, it is not that I can't do it, and if I am not allowed to be a leader, I am also very calm in my heart. Sometimes I think about it, it is not easy to be a leader, on many occasions, there are people who record actions, someone who speaks, and sometimes you have to learn to play official and go through the motions. How happy it is to be a staff officer, do public affairs when you have a task, and do your own business when you don't have a task. I'm not a high-tech person, I work steadfastly, be an honest man, and then have a sturdy and good body, and that's it for a lifetime, don't laugh, I'm telling the truth! ”

"Of course what real people say is the truth!"

Chen Wenming said with a smile.

Zhang Guangyuan didn't have anything specific to do when he came to the office today, so he opened the conversation to Chen Wenming:

"I have been greatly influenced by my father since I was a child, and he has been the party branch secretary in the village for decades. Although the old man has been dead for more than ten years, the masses still remember the good things he has done, and there is always a large pile of paper ashes that the masses spontaneously burned next to his grave during the New Year's holidays. July 16 this year is the 10th anniversary of my father's death, and I took leave to go home to visit his grave, as you know. On that day, after burning paper and saluting my father in the old cemetery of my hometown, I sat alone next to my father's grave and thought about it for a long time, and then I lay on the grass next to my father's grave and dozed off for a while. They should all understand me, I don't have a prominent position, but I have inherited their unpretentious qualities; I don't have a lot of money, but I carry forward their thrifty lifestyle. ”

Zhang Guangyuan saw that Chen Wenming was listening carefully to what he was saying, and then continued.

"The fine qualities and styles of the older generation should be inherited and carried forward by every descendant, but now they have become a scarce luxury in society. I had a good friend from middle school, and after high school, I joined the military, and he went to college. After graduating from university, he worked as a secretary in the county party committee office to become the director of the county transportation bureau. Our county transportation bureau has a production line of corrupt officials, and his first three directors later squatted in prison and ate for nothing. I once told him that he should never forget the lessons of the past, and he believed that he would never repeat the mistakes of his predecessor. I have seen some shopping malls selling dance mats in Beijing, and when I went home this year, I found that there was a dancing road leading from our village to the county seat, and the road was full of big potholes and small potholes. Last month, my family wrote to me that my old friend's political life was coming to an end, and that the conversation with the Commission for Discipline Inspection had put him in intensive care, and the organization had concluded that he had been given a critical illness notice. When I was in school, I joined the Communist Youth League at the same time as him, and we both admired great men at that time, and regarded 'serving the people' taught by great men as our purpose in life. It should be said that he continued to worship great men later, only after their heads were printed on coins. ”

Chen Wenming listened to Zhang Guangyuan's words, nodded, and said without worry: "When you say this, I think of a sentence that someone said, learning is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat; Selfish desires are like grassland horses, easy to let go and difficult to collect. A few years ago, some people who originally looked very conscientious and promising could not withstand the temptation of material things and became the object of spurning by others, but now they are better than before, and the organization has put a 'tight spell' on the head of every cadre, saving many people who are on the edge of the abyss. That old classmate of mine, Li Kaihua, he has come to the agency to look for me several times, you have also seen him, this person is very smart, but he just doesn't want to use his mind in a serious place, he thinks about exploiting policy loopholes all day long, looking for weaknesses in human nature, does not create value for society, only knows how to make money with a clear conscience, and I am more and more unaccustomed to him. My hometown is a poor mountainous area, and some grassroots cadres are 'Lord Yama is not a ghost and thin', and they always want to get some benefits from the masses, suffering the people and fattening themselves. Your hometown is a developed area, and the treatment of cadres is relatively favorable, so you should no longer stretch out your hand everywhere. ”

"My hometown is not a developed area, and I am still carrying out 'land reform'."

"Land reform! Wasn't land reform a work carried out in the early days of liberation? ”

"Now it is another form of 'land reform', some cadres do not dare to do bad things, and they do not want to do good things, so they go to build the Great Wall and 'fight the landlords' after dealing with official business." Zhang Guangyuan said with a mysterious smile.

Chen Wenming also smiled and said to Zhang Guangyuan: "Your speech is really interesting, I appreciate your open-minded character, if others have your fearless spirit of 'acting according to principles, being a man with a conscience, it is a big deal to be demobilized and transferred back to the countryside, and rolling donkey dung and eggs into white ash as golf balls', there will be no worries in thinking and work." ”

"Don't tout 'leadership' anymore, I'm a little fluttering." Zhang Guangyuan smiled and said to Chen Wenming, "Let's discuss the matter in front of us, we will form a group of four people, which can be regarded as 'two old and two new', and in the future, I will form pairs with Zheng Gang, you and Chenzhong, and we have the obligation to learn from young people, but more to help them get familiar with the business and procedures of the organ." They have their own characteristics, if it is said that Chenzhong is simple in thinking and lacks social experience, Zheng Gang seems to be a little sophisticated and has a wide range of social relations, but fortunately, the essence of the two people is good, and if they work hard and study well in the organs, they can become the backbone of the staff officers. ”

"Yes, everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and we must also learn to look at the imperfect with a perfect eye." Chen Wenming said.

Zhang Guangyuan wanted to say something more to Chen Wenming, and when he saw that Chenzhong was also coming to the office, he asked him: "Why do you come to the office when you don't go to the city to visit your parents on weekends?" ”

Chen Zhong was twenty-five or sixteen years old, tall and thin, and his body looked a little thin, and when he heard Zhang Guangyuan ask himself, he respectfully stood up straight and replied: "My parents have gone on vacation in other places, so I will come to the office to look at the materials." ”

Chen Wenming said to Zhang Guangyuan on the side: "After coming to the bureau in the morning, I often come to the office on weeknights to read documents and related materials, and sometimes I come here on weekends, so you may not have met him. ”

Zhang Guangyuan said with some joy: "Okay, if a new comrade is transferred to an organ, he should enter the situation as soon as possible so as to lay a good foundation for his work in the future." You two are busy with your own business, and I'll go home first. ”
