Chapter Forty-Eight: The Provincial City Meets Again (2)

Liang Mei actually knows how to play Go, and when she was a graduate student of Professor Long, she would accompany Professor Long to play Go when she had nothing to do.

Mr. Long played chess very seriously, and she played chess purely to play with him, but after playing a few times, Professor Long shook his head:

"Liangmei, do you think you still let me at your level?"

Liang Mei smiled solemnly:

"How can I let you, it's because you're too murderous."

After Professor Long said, she really took him seriously, the chess style was fierce, the offensive was fierce, after the middle game, Professor Long was nervous, because her offensive made her have a great advantage on the board, Professor Long also tried her best, looking for her flaws, four attacks, gradually her advantage was gradually reduced, and in the end Professor Long killed her two chess, as a result of which she was reversed under a huge advantage.

She really didn't give in these times, and the result was to win first and then lose, Professor Long said:

"Chess style is a person's style of doing things, your chess skills are no worse than mine, but your chess style is not good, only rigid and not soft, too murderous, it's really not like a woman playing chess, just rush forward, regardless of the rest, it is destined to be a lot of loopholes, you still owe cultivation at this point."

Liang Mei is silent, she does things like playing chess, she prefers to simplify complex things, likes to cut through the mess quickly, it is indeed as Professor Long said, the smell of gunpowder is too strong, the sword light and sword shadow are too heavy, and the lethality is too strong, Liang Mei also knows that for a person who wants to go far in the officialdom, it is best not to do this, because while killing and injuring others, you will also be injured, but sometimes you will forget it unconsciously when you are in it.

After that, Liangmei never played chess with Professor Long again. One is because she graduated. Second, it is because he has embarked on a more important job. She was too busy, and most importantly she knew that she would never improve, because she didn't like to play at all. It's not worth the effort to do something you don't like.

But no longer playing chess, she has some new insights into Professor Long's words, coupled with the teachings of one of her old leaders, so that she also truly realizes her shortcomings in this regard, and now she is much better in this regard. However, when it comes to how to deal with complex human relationships, she feels that she still lacks some heat......

Liang Mei thought about it while looking at the situation on the chessboard, whether Lu Zhengdong released water or not, she couldn't see it for a while, the situation was really a little unclear, because the two started a robbery dispute, and one of the most difficult situations in Go was "robbery", the two sides robbed each other in order to compete for a son, because this one is related to the overall victory or defeat, so the black and white sides are secretly competing in life and death. Whoever has more robberies in their hands will have a better chance of having the last laugh......

However, such "robbery" is also the most time-consuming. So when the two of them got to dinner, the game of chess was not finished and finally stopped.

After dinner, Lu Zhengdong went to answer the phone, and Professor Long glanced at her and said:

"Xiao Liang, what do you think of Lu Zhengdong's Go level?"

"I can't see it clearly, probably between me and the teacher."

Professor Long smiled and said:

"Maybe between the two and the middle, maybe it's a cut higher, to be honest, I can't see it clearly, unlike you, three times five divided by two, the bottom is leaking out.

There are some aspects where you have to communicate with Lu Zhengdong, there are some things in him that are worth learning from, and maybe they can give you some touches, I heard that he was also in a very difficult situation when he first arrived in Anxin. You're about the same age, you should be able to talk ......"

Liang Mei was stunned, she was a little surprised by her teacher's ability to judge things, and the words he reminded her.

After conducting an in-depth investigation and study of the foreign trade and other work in charge of Beihu, she proposed a series of measures to develop the export-oriented economy of Beihu and promote the development of foreign trade, but these measures were given a cold reception.

She also knows that the problem lies in the above places, mainly because she and Qiu Zhi'an, the secretary general of the provincial government, do not get along very well.

It is said that she is the vice governor and Qiu Zhian is the secretary general, and in terms of the division of labor, there is not much conflict between the two people, but in fact, on the contrary, in many things, it seems that obstacles have been set up for her intentionally or unintentionally.

If she guessed correctly, Qiu Zhi'an has a heart disease, Qiu Zhi'an was temporarily in charge of this stall for a period of time after the vice governor who was in charge of the stall she is now in charge of, Qiu Zhi'an should also be seeking her current position, but it didn't work out, Liangmei felt that Qiu Zhi'an shouldn't blame her for the matter, if he wanted to blame him, he could only blame him for not working well, but Qiu Zhi'an obviously didn't think so......

In such a situation, her work in Beihu will be difficult, no one has said this, but Liangmei felt it at once, people need a kind of sensitivity, and what people in officialdom rely on to survive is actually the word sensitive. Being able to draw a panorama from some irrelevant information, and then grasp the true nature of things, is a kind of ability, and Liangmei does not lack this ability.

Professor Long asked her to come over, obviously wanting to seek more support for her in the province, so when she came out of Professor Long's house, Liangmei took the initiative to talk about An Xin's situation.

"As I said, it's not easy to do something tangible there, and Anxin is no exception."

Lu Zhengdong said with a smile. He was also aware of Professor Long's intention of asking Liangmei to meet with him. So he continued:

"What's the matter, you, the big mayor, are also in trouble?"

Liangmei glanced at Lu Zhengdong and said with a smile.

With the relationship between Professor Long, the two of them will lose the politeness they had in contact with before, Lu Zhengdong will speak casually, and Liangmei will be casual here, thinking about how to talk about the topic in depth.

"When a cadre's destiny is to deal with difficult problems, who can really be relaxed? Whether or not a locality's work can be done well lies in whether or not it can fully arouse everyone's enthusiasm and make concerted efforts; to be honest, I am afraid that half of the energy of the leaders will communicate and consult in this regard, and they may not be able to get things done even if they spend their energy, and this is probably one of the important reasons why the efficiency of the party and government organs is not high. ”

Lu Zhengdong preached in a matter-of-fact manner.

The communication between cadres seems simple, but it is actually a profound knowledge.

Disagreements or opinions. It seems to be coming for a specific job. But it really has to be solved on a case-by-case basis. That's a big mistake, things at work are sometimes just an excuse, an excuse to vent your frustrations.

The real contradiction lies in the conflict of interests between each other, to put it bluntly, it is a struggle for power, in which who can talk about specific work without power?

The answer is definitely no.

What would be the effect of avoiding the core problem and solving the side problems? It's definitely quite bad.

How to grasp these is a problem faced by all cadres. The most effective way is actually the most stupid way, that is, to use power to oppress others, but even if the other party agrees, it can only prove that he has succumbed to power, and is not willing to give up arguing or confronting him, but just waiting for the opportunity.

"It's easy to communicate, but it's really not easy to handle some relationships well."

Liangmei is also sensitive, like this. People who are not quite familiar with it are sure that no one will talk about it,

She's been able to get this far. There must be a lot of insights, but whoever wants to say that they can completely handle the relationship between colleagues in all aspects, it is either bragging or reaching a very high level, and how to deal with colleagues, superiors and subordinates, has become a common confusion of all officials, and so far, I am afraid that no one can solve this confusion.

Liangmei knew that Qiu Zhi'an still had the initiative, firstly, because of the trust of the governor, and secondly, because after all, he was Lao Beihu, and no one was more familiar with all the situations in Beihu than him. If she wants to open up the situation, if she doesn't win his support, it will be an empty word.

But Qiu Zhian just didn't want to have a good relationship with her, and she felt this since she took office.

Even Lu Zhengdong has heard of this, Qiu Zhian used all the resources for this vice governor, all aspects of the province have been dealt with, Jiang Ruheng and others are not opposed, the governor strongly supports, this should be regarded as the most basic guarantee to strive for, but this is still not completely reassuring, for the sake of insurance, he used all the relationships that should not be used, and finally even the Zeng family in the capital also went to burn incense and worship the Buddha, according to the situation that Lu Zhengdong grasped, Qiu Zhian and his family went up with the Zeng family, there were some festivals, It does not belong to a line. Resolve the contradiction at the critical moment, and then win support, it can be regarded as a smart person.

Qiu Zhian worked so hard, and the results were still remarkable, originally this matter was already eight or nine years old, but halfway through, it was a success, and this matter was finally a failure, and he was about to sit in the seat under his ass, and he let a woman occupy it.

Qiu Zhian is not only discouraged, I am afraid that he is about to go crazy.

Because opportunities don't come every day, if you lose once, you may lose a lifetime. Qiu Zhian couldn't swallow this breath, let alone accept this reality. In particular, Liangmei is an airborne cadre, and he has no roots in the province, and he cannot get the support of the big housekeeper in charge of the provincial government, which means that many things cannot be supported by the governor, and the difficulty of Liangmei's work can be imagined.

Lu Zhengdong was thinking about it, and Liangmei said again:

"When I attended some meetings in the province, I found that in many meetings, many participants were not attentive, and they were like being shy, and they didn't like to speak.

When discussing the work arrangements after the Spring Festival a few years ago, she Liangmei was surprised to find that in fact, the expressions of the participants were very grotesque, and many of them had a look of indifference that had nothing to do with them, or a calm detachment from the matter. Although such expressions are common in various meetings, this meeting is not ordinary, and the discussion is about the work schedule for the new year, how can such a situation occur?

Liang Mei's heart couldn't help but feel like a cold wind hit, secretly fighting a cold war.

It is not surprising that she would have such an expression when she was in the city, but it was difficult to see it in the provincial organs.

The city is different, the deputy mayor and assistant mayor of the city, plus the temporary deputy mayor, the deputy secretary-general, the deputy director of the office, and the leaders of the ministries and bureaus of the regular meeting, there are many heads.

Except for the Standing Committee, which studies personnel and can achieve a high degree of concentration of the participants, the rest of the meetings, no matter who convenes them or how important they are, the participants always come with their ears, but their hearts remain elsewhere, and sometimes even their ears are deserted.

Of course, unless this matter is closely related to you, it must be serious. But apart from this. Once the meeting is about it, it doesn't matter much to you. The various expressions came out, staring at the ceiling and being distracted, looking at other people's eyes and pondering, playing with their mobile phones, and even dozing off.

In short, there are all kinds of things, how strange and how rare they are.

She had also studied the causes, and at first she thought. It may be that there are many leaders, and there is a lot of division of labor, and the more detailed the division of labor, the clearer the responsibilities will be, and the more taboos there will be, and no one wants to let others meddle in their own affairs, let alone meddle in the affairs that others are in charge of. Within the scope of their respective responsibilities, everyone will build a small kingdom, tacitly abiding by the principle of peaceful coexistence if you don't offend me and I won't offend you. Later, she thought, this is not the only reason. What's more, I'm afraid everyone is on defense. I don't want to expose myself, because the more I say, the more I expose. Some people say that this is called hypocrisy, but in fact it is not, it is an officialdom art, but it belongs to a low level.

But she didn't expect that the meetings of the provincial organs would be like this, and the meetings of the provincial organs would be held, and every topic was closely related to the participants, because there were so many people and so many things, and no one could get around it if they wanted to.

The meeting was cold, in her heart, everyone was so busy, everyone was in charge of everything, everyone was so busy that they didn't even have time to go home, it was not easy to convene a meeting, and when they were convened, they didn't speak.

If she didn't understand the word shackles before, now, she not only has a new understanding, but also deeply feels that these two words are like invisible ropes, binding her.

The meeting was silent for nearly half an hour, and Liangmei felt that it was almost time to be silent, so she swept her eyes and decided to use a little method. It's a very old-fashioned approach, but it works. To deal with some old habits, you really have to use the old method, this is an experience that Liangmei summed up.

But her experience is invalid, and the people who speak are whatever the governor says to do, so it's better not to talk about it.

Lu Zhengdong smiled and said:

"It's pretty much the same, when I first arrived in Anxin, for a long time, I didn't want to have a meeting, even if it was a meeting, that is, a step-by-step work arrangement. Anxin's situation is a bit special, when I first arrived, Anxin was actually a little messy, like a car with a broken transmission shaft, just how to hit the accelerator. It can't run, either. So I'm just going to fix the car first......"

Liang Mei immediately understood the meaning of Lu Zhengdong's words. Lu Zhengdong meant that she was in too much of a hurry, and before she came, Qiu Zhian was temporarily in charge of this work. Coupled with the convenient position of the secretary general, a circle was formed around Qiu Zhi'an centered on him, and this circle had to be broken, Qiu Zhi'an was a little weightless, and for a while, he was afraid that he would not be able to find the direction.

Liangmei regretted her impatience, in fact, she knew that it was a bad problem. What is the most taboo thing for officials and politicians, is that they can't hold their breath.

Although she is not very proficient in the philosophy of officialdom, she can still master the most basic, otherwise, she would not be where she is today. The problem is that there are some mistakes that you know you shouldn't make, and if you do, there will be problems, and at critical moments, you still make them, what is this called, this is called not enough cultivation.

It is true that she has not cultivated enough, or it is a character problem that people often talk about, but at her level, or even a higher level, there are no longer a few people who make mistakes like her.

When Liang Mei heard Lu Zhengdong say this, she actually understood in her heart that Qiu Zhi'an was not from her, and he would have an opinion on whoever was replaced as the vice governor.

It is said that it is in heaven to do things, and to do everything to ensure the destiny of heaven, but who is willing to stand still, and he is not a year or two to stand still, so it is strange that he has no resentment in his heart.

Liangmei nodded, she still agreed with Lu Zhengdong's analysis. It is also strange to say, after Lu Zhengdong finished speaking, Liang Mei faintly sympathized with Qiu Zhian in her heart. What politician has no ambitions, including her, who has a chance not to want to go further?

Lu Zhengdong listened to Liangmei's words, and pondered for a long time before saying:

"Governor Luo now also wants to bring the economy of Beihu to a higher level, as long as it is conducive to the development of Beihu, he will definitely encourage and support it."

"Oh......"

Liang Mei responded slightly, she had also found an opportunity to report to Governor Luo alone, and Governor Luo's attitude towards her was relatively cold

Liangmei has realized that Governor Luo also seems to have some opinions on her, but the superiors have opinions on the subordinates, which is nothing more than two situations, one is that the subordinates have not done a good job, and the other is that some relationships have not been handled properly.

Liang Mei concluded that she belonged to the second case, and since then, she has not approached Governor Luo alone. She was looking for it, but time did not allow it, and she was afraid of another. What are you afraid of, Liangmei can't tell, anyway, when she thinks of this matter, an awkward feeling gushes out inexplicably. Maybe it's because I'm afraid of being indifferent again, but when I want to face Vice Governor Cheng alone, it seems that I can't just be afraid, and when I should face it, I still have to face it. The subordinates report to the superiors, the important thing is not what you report, but the attitude, which is still known to Liangmei. Without a good attitude, even if you do your work in front, you will still be criticized when you should be criticized, and this is really not the way to go on.

Lu Zhengdong's words seem to be meaningful, Liang Mei tasted it carefully, and also understood what Lu Zhengdong meant, Governor Luo must be unwilling to go around in the governor's office, with this, Qiu Zhi'an Even if Governor Luo is the most confidant, Governor Luo will have to succumb to his own future in the end. As long as her survival is conducive to the future of Governor Luo, many things will be much easier......

A conversation with Lu Zhengdong also inspired Liangmei...... (To be continued......)
