At the end of the registration, Yao Shengli called the secretary Xiao Jiang and asked him to take Zhou Jing to find Gu Chengxi, the office director.

People from acquaintance to acquaintance, the first impression is very important, if you get along for the first time, it is very unpleasant, and then you may stumble later, it is difficult to go smoothly, and vice versa, therefore, he still attaches great importance to this meeting, and feels that the effect is still very good, and the expected goal has been achieved, and Yao Shengli's ability and courage have left a very deep impression on him, and also made him realize that compared with these government officials who are in charge of the party, he is still very immature, and he needs long-term exercise and polishing in order to progress.

Leaving the mayor's office, the secretary Xiao Jiang looked much more lively, and said politely: "Mayor Zhou, is your hometown a provincial capital?" ”

Zhou Jing shook his head and said softly: "No, my hometown is in Qingyang." ”

"Ah, it's good there, I've been there before." Xiao Jiang frowned slightly, as if he didn't believe it, after all, he was much older than Zhou Jing in terms of age, and he also knew some of the situation in the province, Qingyang was only a county-level city, and it could not be compared with Xiling in terms of city scale or economic development, so he was even more suspicious of Zhou Jing's identity and background.

Zhou Jing smiled, didn't say anything, and went to the director's office with Xiao Jiang, but found that the door was open, but there was no one inside, and only after asking others did he know that Gu Chengxi went to the comprehensive conference room, and was in a meeting with the people of the three departments, and he would not be able to come back later, Xiao Jiang sat for a while, looked at the time, and said with some embarrassment: "Mayor Zhou, I still have a manuscript over there, I have to hurry up and get out, or will I come back later?" ”

Zhou Jing smiled slightly, nodded and said, "It's okay, Secretary Jiang, you go and get busy first, I'll just wait here." ”

"Okay, Mayor Zhou, this is my business card, remember to call if you have something." Xiao Jiang smiled, handed over a business card, got up to say goodbye, left the room, and hurried back to the mayor's office.

Zhou Jing took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and lit it, frowned and took a puff, looking at the display in the office, this office is not big, but it is full of office furniture, behind the desk, there is a row of filing cabinets, and there is a bookcase next to it, which is full of all kinds of books, and on the wall behind the desk, there is a calligraphy and painting, which reads' Erudite and thoughtful' four big characters, calligraphy works are simple and clumsy, very eye-catching, Zhou Jing in the provincial capital, also tried to practice calligraphy, but suffered from lack of talent, has not progressed, he knows that many leading cadres, are calligraphy everyone, write a beautiful brush words.

Ten minutes later, the door outside was pushed open, and a tall, thin and slightly hunchbacked man walked in, saw Zhou Jing, a little puzzled, and frowned: "Hello, who are you looking for?" ”

Zhou Jing got up unhurriedly and said with a smile: "Director Gu, hello, I am Zhou Jing who came here to take up a temporary post, please take care of me." ”

Gu Chengxi had already walked behind the desk, but when he heard the introduction, he was startled, hurriedly came back, and said politely: "Ah, it's Deputy Mayor Zhou, I've heard of the name for a long time, hello hello!" ”

The two shook hands and greeted each other, and when Gu Chengxi learned of his intention, he went to get the key, accompanied Zhou Jing to the fourth floor, went to the innermost office, opened the door, and said with a smile: "Mayor Zhou, please take a look, what is still missing inside, I will let people add it." ”

Zhou Jing entered the room, looked around, and saw that the room was very tidy, there was a lot of office furniture, computers on the table, and printers were also readily available, which was more standardized than the office in the provincial capital, so he smiled and said: "Director Gu, it's already very good, don't bother." ”

Gu Chengxi smiled and said frankly: "Mayor Zhou, this room was used by Vice Mayor Xie before, he was dealt with because of economic problems, and he has just been vacated, if you have taboos in this regard, we can change the room, but it will take a while." ”

Zhou Jing shook his head and said generously: "It's okay, Director Gu, I'm fine, there are no taboos." ”

Gu Chengxi smiled, sat for a while, inquired about the news, and was also very concerned about Zhou Jing's division of labor, I heard that it was not settled, so he got up and said goodbye, Zhou Jing sent him to the door, waved goodbye, returned to the room, did it himself, and did it again, and then sorted out the documents in the filing cabinet and the books on the shelves.

Zhou Jing expressed his gratitude, and chatted with him again, although they met for the first time, they were very speculative, from the case of Vice Mayor Xie, all the way to Zeng Guofan, and then talked about Lao Zhuang, and found that Gu Chengxi had a lot of knowledge reserves, and he was also very wise, just like he explained the case of Vice Mayor Xie from the point of view of the ancients, it was very chic, one of them is that Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, it is about abiding by the law and being strict with yourself, and you can't defy the law and break the rules because of your special identity.

The second is that the hall is full of gold and jade, Mo can keep it, which means that throughout the ages, all the people who are rich and noble, and the people who are full of gold and jade, few people can keep it, and the middle of the day is bright, the moon is full and the loss is lost, and the extremes of things must be reversed, this is the way of heaven, things have reached an extreme, they will develop in the opposite direction, therefore, we must try to keep ourselves in a state of absence, not too complete, so as not to be able to last long.

The third is to be rich and arrogant, self-blame, that is, the bane of people, are buried in the spring breeze, when the wind is smooth, put on Vice Mayor Xie, that is, at the peak of power, do not know how to restrain, do not know etiquette, arrogant and arrogant, make enemies everywhere, and when the momentum is exhausted, it is the time for disaster to come, and said that in the official career, if you want to keep the peace, you must not only rely on relationships and power, but also be cautious in your heart, be cautious, always remember to reflect on your own mistakes, but also be content and happy, so as not to cause trouble and go to prison.

Zhou Jing listened to it and appreciated it very much, he didn't have a deep dabble in ancient philosophy, and he couldn't fully understand many places, but he could feel that the middle-aged man in front of him was very sincere, and he was also good at interpersonal communication.

After Gu Chengxi left, Zhou Jing returned to his desk, took out some information from the filing cabinet, and flipped through it, ten minutes later, a pleasant mobile phone ringtone suddenly rang, he looked at the number, and found that it was Tao Ye calling, so he sighed, connected the phone, and a burst of laughter sounded in his ears, Zhou Jing snorted, frowned, and said: "I'm embarrassed to laugh, you brought the team over majestically, offended everyone, patted your ass and left, didn't this throw me into the pit?" ”

Before the words fell, Tao Ye smiled more happily, and after a while, he said: "Good brother, I already knew this, otherwise, how could I let the brothers take turns to treat you and practice for you, isn't it just an apology, I have already pondered at that time, I didn't have your good fruit to eat in Xiling, but I didn't dare to say it clearly, for fear of ruining your interest, why, is it really that serious?" ”

Zhou Jing smiled, picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, shook his head and said: "No, the leaders here are very enthusiastic and very good to me, but the last case really made them very passive, and they were all named in the province, which was very unpleasant." ”

Tao Ye put away his smile and said softly: "Who can be blamed for that, our Commission for Discipline Inspection is only responsible for handling the case, responsible for charging into battle, pointing where to fight, and other things need to be considered above, no wonder us." ”

Zhou Jing smiled slightly, nodded and said: "That's the truth, but the next time you handle the case, remember to put away your stinky temper, you must know that hiding is clumsy, using obscurity and clarity, and bending is the extension. ”

Tao Ye was taken aback, touched his nose, and said in surprise: "Alas, brother, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I am good at learning, what does this article mean, I don't understand!" ”

Zhou Jing smiled, patiently explained, and said: "This time I went to Xiling, I really met a famous teacher, this person is good, he talks and does things, he is very insightful, I am now learning and selling, don't be surprised." ”

Tao Ye suddenly woke up and said with a smile: "I know, it must be Director Gu of the office, Lao Gu is really good, he is also a very real person, it is worth socializing, you can move around more." ”

Zhou Jing was also surprised, and said with a smile: "Lord Director, you are really amazing, you have made friends within a few days of coming to Xiling?" ”

Tao Ye shook his head, drank tea and said: "No, let's go over there to handle the case, come in a hurry, go in a hurry, can't make friends, just deal with that person, I feel that he is not bad, he is very sincere, I heard that he used to be a middle school principal, because the article was well written, he was transferred to the government unit, and then he worked hard, and slowly boiled up, he was very respected by the leaders over there, and he was also an important candidate for the secretary general of the next municipal party committee, of course, this is all hearsay, it can't be true, the interpersonal relationship over there, I also want you to touch it slowly, and if you encounter difficulties, just call me, and when necessary, I will lead the team down and support you for the scene. ”

Zhou Jing grinned and sighed: "It's better to be exempt, I'm going to burn incense and worship the Buddha here, please don't come over, at most you have a chance, go back to the province to find everyone to drink." ”

Tao Ye smiled and said, "You can't drink enough, you still have to exercise." ”

Zhou Jing nodded and smiled: "Take your time, don't rush." ”

Tao Ye smiled, and also asked tentatively: "What about the division of labor, is it decided?" ”

Zhou Jing shook his head, picked up the information next to him, frowned, and said: "I've seen it, the existing seven deputy mayors, the division of labor is very clear, either from others to move some, or to assist in the office, after all, they are temporary cadres, a bit special." ”

Tao Ye snorted and asked again, "Has the place to live been decided?" ”

Zhou Jingjing nodded and said with a smile: "Settle down, stay in a hotel for the time being, and move out after a while." ”

Tao Ye smiled slightly, and said, "I have a friend over there, I will introduce you to you another day." ”

"Okay." Zhou Jing smiled and nodded, chatted with him for a few words, put down the phone, and looked at the information intently, secretly wondering, urban construction is good, after Vice Mayor Xie is dismissed, someone will definitely take it, but such a good thing should not fall on his head.
