Vice Minister Su Nan presided over the spring safety production analysis meeting of the bureau-level units of the ministry's foreign departments in Beijing that lasted nearly two hours. At the meeting, southern Jiangsu first conveyed the spirit of the State Council's recent work conference on safety production in large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises, and analyzed it from four aspects in combination with the current situation of the ministry's safety production work. When it came to the fact that the main leaders of some units did not have a sense of safety in production, Sunan had some frost on his face, frowned, took off his right hand that had been holding the microphone, clenched it into a fist, and criticized several units with poor work in safety production in an accentuated tone, especially the two units that recently broke through the bottom line of the annual casualty target.

After the meeting ended, Wen Pu took Sunan's folder and water glass, followed Sunan with a displeased face, and returned to the vice minister's office.

Xiao Wen, have you arranged all the working meals? Sunan asked.

Wen Pu put the folder and water cup in his hand, gently put it on the table and said, According to the standard of the department and bureau, Minister Su.

Sunan shook his head and said, let me burn the fire like this, how many people can have a good appetite at noon? Today is to let them eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and they will also eat the taste of radish and cabbage, alas!

With a gentle smile, he took out a few tissues from the tissue box on the desk and handed them to Sunan.

Sunan took it and wiped his forehead.

Wen Pu didn't wait for Sunan's hand holding the tissue to fall, so he reached out and asked for the tissue and put it in the metal trash can beside him.

Sunan straightened up and said, I'll rest for a while, and you can call me when it's time.

Wen Pu said, yes, Minister Su.

This office in southern Jiangsu is quite functional, compared with large-scale houses, except that there is no kitchen, the rest is not bad.

The room where Wen Pu is staying now is the secretary's duty room, and there is a bathroom on his right hand, but he usually prefers to call this room a workshop.

There was no movement on Sunan's side, so Wen Pu took a long breath, relaxed his facial muscles, and sat on the sofa with his hands. He also wanted to be confused, but he didn't dare, lest he miss the timing of the working meal. As the personal secretary of the ministerial-level leader, your ability and wit are not only reflected in the leader's speech, but also in the grasp and handling of certain details.

In fact, as a secretary, whether it is close to the leader's body, or not to the leader's body, you have to work the details.

That year, Wen Pu was rated as an excellent secretary of the ministry, and in his deeds materials, the detail of a thousand refills was dragged around by the mouths of the people around him. Gentle and fast, the quality is not adulterated, some copywriting consumables, naturally used more than other secretaries, he actually used thousands of refills in a year, and used these wastes to weave a two-layer thick chair cushion, for a time in the ministry as a novelty spread.

One day, Executive Deputy Minister Sunan passed by Wen Pu's office and saw a room full of people chattering about something, so he turned around curiously and walked in. After looking at the two-layer refill chair cushion, Sunan said, well, yes, waste becomes treasure, and he will use his brain. The name of the gentle one was imprinted in Sunan's mind from this time.

As for the fact that Sunan later appreciated the simplicity of Yuhao, it was because of an inconspicuous trivial matter. Once southern Jiangsu wanted to inspect the Kengxi Administration, and the personal secretary could not leave Beijing due to diarrhea, the chief of staff came to seek the opinion of southern Jiangsu, saying that it would be okay to find a capable secretary and replace him temporarily. Sunan thinks about it, that Xiao Wen, he's at home, right? In this way, Wen Pu temporarily became the personal secretary of southern Jiangsu.

During the inspection in Kengxi, Sunan accidentally broke an ashtray in the conference room of a second-level unit. The wall of the conference room was plastered with the words "Compensation for damaged public property", Sunan didn't notice it, and even if he did, he couldn't stop talking and pay compensation according to the price. One day after returning to Beijing, Su Nan accidentally saw an article entitled "The Story of the Ashtray" in a very influential newspaper, and the ashtray in the article was the one he inadvertently broke in Kengxi. The article is signed by Jin Beibei. As soon as Sunan learned about it afterwards, Fang Zhiwen persuaded the leaders of Kengxi, who refused to accept compensation, to pay an ashtray for himself out of his pocket before leaving Kengxi. Afterwards, the leader who was persuaded was very moved, so he invited a well-known local female reporter to write this article.

Soon after that, Sunan's personal secretary was promoted, and he jumped into the empty pit vacated by the promotion secretary. In the days when he stepped on the footprints of Sunan, he matured very quickly, his ability to empathize, his steadiness to think twice when encountering problems, and his calm and calm mentality, so that Sunan couldn't believe that he was still just a young man in his thirties.

After a few years of hard work, Wen Pu realized little by little that the profession of secretary is indeed very subtle, very olfactory, very implicated, very flexible, very exaggerated, very illusory, and very radiant, and the secretary sometimes has more room for activity and turnover space than some department heads and department directors when dealing with some things. Especially the personal secretary of a senior deputy minister, the choice of career is more exquisite, the perspective is unique, the landing point is accurate, and the entry point of paying attention to things and people seems to be different from ordinary cadres.

In terms of work and family life, Wen Pu often feels that some of the current directors of the department, after the wind and rain in the officialdom, are not very likely to coordinate the emotional trend with the original wife, and the original wife becomes a resentful woman, and once the official wife becomes a resentful woman, she will not take into account the constraints of this bottom line and taste. I want to return to dignity and throw away the black gauze hat on my head. Especially in the bumps and bumps in family life, the current understanding of Wen Pu is a leader who does not handle the relationship between husband and wife, especially the kind of leader who trips over his wife, basically the kind of leader who will not grasp both hands and hard hands, in other words, a leader who even his wife is not smooth, how can there be no problem with comprehensive quality, and now I want to support my fate with an excellent single merit on my body, which is not an easy thing to do. Therefore, Wen Pu warned himself that when walking in officialdom, it is best not to treat his wife as a scrap and put it in a cold and dull place. Wife is outdated, no matter how boring, it is also a common software tied to your future, even if it is old, plan to update or uninstall, then you have to follow the steps to update, uninstall, hard deletion is an illegal operation, will cause damage and loss, endless troubles, serious can not eat and walk. Therefore, when you have to go your own way, it is best for you to fully consider whether it is possible for others to discard the wife you intend to discard at this time before you turn off all the family functions of your wife, and prepare to wait for the transfer of ownership as a sweetheart. It is a shortcut to enter a woman from a trading channel, and it is a long journey to enter a woman from the emotional world, and now there are fewer and fewer men who have stamina and interest in married life, but there are more and more troubles and indifference.

Wen Pu took out his mobile phone, put it on his lap, and looked at a line of cursive calligraphy on the opposite wall, his eyes fluttering and flickering, and he couldn't sleep.

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door, and the gentle and clever eyes instinctively jumped to the door.

Wen Pu stood up, lifted his breath, moved his shoulders a few times, tidied up his clothes, and went over to open the door with a good expression on his face.

The two visitors were Yuan Kun and Li Hanyi.

Dongsheng is a small city under the jurisdiction of Beijing's neighboring provinces, not far from Beijing, less than 100 miles away, and the base camp of the first and second engineering bureaus is located there.

Many years ago, the First and Second Engineering Bureaus were originally one bureau, called the General Engineering Bureau, and they were split in half, all because of the words of Xiao Chengshan, the deputy minister in charge of the work of the General Administration at that time. At that time, Xiao Chengshan insisted on piling up two mountains of equal height, which could be thrown on the table and rolled, which was nothing more than that Li Hanyi, then director of the General Bureau of Engineering, and Yuan Kun, secretary of the party committee, did not work hand in hand, and could not urinate in a pot, and the internal friction damaged the vitality of the General Administration. In fact, the onlookers know in their hearts, and they all know that he Xiao Chengshan doesn't like Li Hanyi, who was born as an intellectual, and Yuan Kun, who proudly wears a military uniform, because Xiao Chengshan is also a soldier.

After the General Bureau was split into a game and a second game, Xiao Chengshan contracted a game, and Sunan's figure fell into the second game, the first game and the second game, and from then on, the nest began to fight. The two mountains face each other, and each side understands that it is very important to open up local relations, because local relations can effectively restrain each other's hands and feet, so the two bureaus began to compete in the maintenance of local relations.

Not only that, sometimes when competing for projects outside the system, the two bureaus are also you tie me up, I tie you, and don't give way to each other, especially Yuan Kun, who once fought for red eyes, and even did not hesitate to lose money to do it, which caused a lot of strange words in the ministry, and the relationship between Sunan and Xiao Chengshan was quite stiff back and forth. The year before last, Xiao Chengshan retreated, and a game was moved to Sunan's hands, at the beginning, Sunan had the intention to combine the two bureaus into one and clench them into a fist again, but he never started, because Xiao Chengshan was not idle after he retired, and he still ran to the east in three days.

At the end of last year, Xiao Chengshan suffered a myocardial infarction on the way to Dongsheng and left the world without coming up in one breath. Not long after that, the newly appointed minister said to Sunan after a working meeting, Lao Su, you should think about the affairs of the first and second bureaus of Dongsheng, and come up with a plan. This is an era of strong alliances and mergers, and we can no longer push the problems left over from history to those who come after us to deal with them.

Dismantling the stove and integrating it again, the optimism of southern Jiangsu is obviously not as solid as before, and the more you use your brain, the more difficult it is. Dongsheng's two major stalls, the families of employees add up to more than 100,000 people, which is a matter of touching the skin of the mouth? Especially the two sets of teams, if they don't go well, can they be cleaned up when they mess up? Therefore, Sunan has been waiting for the right opportunity to merge. And Li Hanyi and Yuan Kun have long heard of the two-in-one, their ears were erected towards Beijing for a while, and they didn't hear any big movements, thinking that the two-in-one thing is just a fire burning on the mouth of the new minister after he took charge, and he really wants to move, how can the ministry leaders not care about hurting their muscles and bones? This is called easy to separate and difficult to get together.

Entering the house, Yuan Kun asked, the chief's secretary, the chief is not there?

Li Hanyi smiled at Wen Pu and didn't speak.

Wen Pu felt that it was not appropriate for Yuan Kun to call himself the chief's secretary in this room. Walking in officialdom on weekdays, as long as Sunan is not around, Wen Pu doesn't care much about others calling him the chief's secretary. But Sunan's presence is different, he will be a little uncomfortable, although he understands that this discomfort is superfluous, and it is definitely not from Sunan's opinion, but his discomfort is still real discomfort, probably some kind of psychological disorder.

Moreover, Wen Pu has no temper with Yuan Kun, and understands that if his mouth is more accurate than Li Hanyi's mouth, then he Yuan Kun is not Yuan Kun.

In fact, Wen Pu has long known in his heart, in terms of feeling the subtle atmosphere of the scene and the change of leadership mentality, Li Hanyi is indeed more accurate than Yuan Kun, especially in a place like the office in southern Jiangsu, Li Hanyi's psychological preparation, no matter how he says, is more substantial than Yuan Kun, he knows how to use his expression when he comes alone, how to adjust his face when two people come together, and how to speak when the leader is alone, and how to speak when there are other people in the leadership room, these are somewhat a little bit of a small problem with mother-in-law and mother in the eyes of ordinary people, In Li Hanyi's view, it is not a small problem, even if it is a small problem, he will use these small problems to make a big article, because experience and experience tell him that some small negligence in the career may become a big loophole if it accumulates, and it will release its lethality and destructive power at a corresponding time, place, person or event, and the embankment will be destroyed in the anthill, which is nothing more than this truth.

As the personal secretary of the ministerial-level leader, Wen Pu's perception of some smaller and more inconspicuous links is even more reliable than Li Hanyi. For example, in the ushering in the send-off, Wen Pu can realize that every time Sunan sits to meet his subordinates, stands with him to communicate with his subordinates, or listens to the subordinates' reports while walking, there is a difference, Wen Pu feels that Sunan sitting, standing, and walking when meeting his subordinates These body languages imply that the leader has a certain emotional tendency and psychological hints about you as a person, the problem you want to report and ask for, the things that the leader will or is arranging for you to do, and your future destiny. Today's leaders, the thinking ability is becoming more and more diversified, the work concept is updated faster than in previous years, and the channels for expressing a certain meaning are also criss-crossed, and the information that hurts you and hates you is often not revealed through the leader's mouth, but scattered in the process of the leader talking to you and doing things, and even wrapped in one or two digressions that have disappeared in the past.

Wen Pu's days by Sunan's side are not short, he believes that the higher a person's official position, the more concealed he is in speaking and doing things, and the more things he gives or hints to you in sensitive details and digressions. In the unpredictable real life, interpersonal relationships and conflicts of interest are intricately entangled, you can't see a person's mind, but you can feel and speculate, now that Wen Pu is with Sunan, he can almost judge and infer from Sunan's eyes, face, tone, and demeanor whether Sunan is anxious, thirsty, distracted, or weak, depressed, or tired at this time. Of course, Sunan just hung his face at the venue, and Wen Pu would not take the time to interpret the leader's face, the leader's face at that time was a kind of meeting place common to many leaders.

Yuan Kun was close to Sunan's office, stretching his neck and probing his brain to look in.

Wen Pu coughed, lowered his voice and said, Director Yuan, Minister Su is busy.

As soon as Yuan Kun heard this, he immediately took a few steps back, his face unnatural.

Wen Pu avoided Li Hanyi's gaze and gave Yuan Kun a look at him from a small angle.

Wen Pu and Yuan Kun got closer, otherwise Yuan Kun would not have asked Wen Pu in such a tone just now, a little deliberately trying to be hard in front of Li Hanyi.

The relationship between Wen Pu and Yuan Kun is not the kind of business-like routine friendship, their personal relationship is very pyrotechnic outside of eight hours, and Wen Pu's five-star membership in Winning Nest was bought by Yuan Kun.

The unusual relationship between Wen Pu and Yuan Kun developed after being intercepted by local villagers in Tiancheng that year. That time, Wen Pu went to comfort Yuan Kun's front-line workers on behalf of Sunan, and the car was far away from the campsite, and was stopped by a group of angry fellows, shouting that their fish pond had been destroyed, and it was not okay to pay less. Wen Pu and Yuan Kun both got out of the car. Wen Pu's face was nervous, because the fellow was holding a shovel or pickaxe in his hand. Yuan Kun gave him a look to comfort him, and said to the fellow villagers who came around, I am an official, if you have anything to say, let's talk slowly, but you don't dare to detain this car, the car is loaded with medicines to rescue critical patients, and you have to leave immediately. Taking advantage of the stunned villagers, Yuan Kun turned his head and said, I said, Doctor Wen, why are you waiting if you don't hurry up to rescue the patient? Wen Pu hesitated, Yuan Kun said again, I will have something to do if I talk to the peasant brothers here? Let's go, it's okay. The driver secretly stretched his gentleness and told him to get in the car. got in the car and closed the door, and the driver whispered, Secretary Wen, we have to hurry back and call people and get a few big bulldozers, otherwise we won't be able to stop these poor fellows. Later, when the team snatched Yuan Kun back, Yuan Kun became a clay man, and the team leader scolded and said that Director Yuan was pushed into the ditch by the dogs. Yuan Kun still had a few blood marks on his face, and when Wen Pu asked, he realized that he was caught by an old lady, and Wen Pu was very upset.

That night, he went to the county seat to drink pressure and shock, and Wen Pu became the target of a group of cadres in the county. Yuan Kun went out again, and he did all the simple wine, and he fought hard to win the county's heads, and they all became big tongues. On the way back, Yuan Kun couldn't hold on, got out of the car and leaned against an old poplar tree, spread his legs and vomited, and the bitter bile was vomited. Similarly, through later interactions, Yuan Kun also looked up to being gentle.

On last year's National Day, Yuan Kun sent someone to send a bucket of wild pollution-free soft-shelled turtle to Wen Pu, which obviously meant that he wanted to feel a little warmth of southern Jiangsu through Wen Pu's hands. It is said that a bucket of soft-shelled turtle is nothing, it is not worth changing hands gently, but the bucket of soft-shelled turtle that Yuan Kun came up with filial piety is indeed not a general artificially bred soft-shelled turtle.

The next day, Yuan Kun received a call from the wife of the former vice minister Xiao Chengshan, saying that Lao Xiao was hospitalized this time to treat a minor illness, so he asked you not to say anything, and asked Secretary Wen to send six wild kings, Director Yuan, you really have feelings for Lao Xiao, no wonder he kept mentioning your name at that time. Yuan Kun didn't know that the old leader was hospitalized at the time, and he didn't expect Wen Pu to be a setter, especially afterwards, Wen Pu didn't mention to him about giving him favors behind his back. Yuan Kun thinks that Wen Pu is a caring person who takes care of the details, and he has a heart more than himself, and it will not be wrong to work hard for him. Hard work means helping, in the past few years, Yuan Kun has arranged more than a dozen related households for Wen Pu, and also mentioned some people he has taken care of. And Wen Pu also gave Yuan Kun some rewards in a timely manner, and he didn't blow hot air for him in front of Sunan, Yuan Kun went abroad twice to investigate, Wen Pu helped a lot, and Wen Pu also used various relationships to help Yuan Kun take over a few projects.

I said two big directors, come to me, don't you want to listen to me count people again? Before the words landed, Sunan walked out with a thin hair.

Li Han hurriedly shouted, Minister Su.

Yuan Kun followed and spoke, Minister Su.

At this time, the expression on Sunan's face did not match the expression on the venue at that time, and now he was amiable. Sunan is in charge of the first and second bureaus, so that he will inevitably treat Li Hanyi and Yuan Kun differently in some things and on some occasions, and the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, especially in private, Sunan easily does not take a stand with him.

Sunan generally understands the two directors with different temperaments, and knows that they are carrying the same things on their minds today, stepping on the out-of-sync point, and there is some temptation. However, Sunan understands that the two of them are muttering in their hearts again, and they will not open their mouths to pick out their hearts, because in their own place, they are a wall covering each other's hearts, and they come together, which means that they have a tacit understanding, that is, no one should take the opportunity of this meeting in Beijing to see them alone.

The thing that is on the minds of Li Hanyi and Yuan Kun is a project, and last night Yuan Kun called and asked Wen Pu directly, what else is there to study about the 200 million poverty alleviation project, and if you throw it directly to his game, why do you spend so much time? The more you do, the more expensive it is. Wen Pu didn't dare to fight with him, he could only say that the inside story was still unclear, so let him calm down and wait for a few more days. Yuan Kun felt that this call was not fruitful, so he asked Wen Pu if he would go to Beijing for a meeting tomorrow, and after the meeting, it was necessary for him to invite Su Nan to sit in his hometown hall.

The hometown hall is not close to the ministry building, and the leaders of some subordinate units outside Beijing usually come to Beijing for meetings and affairs, especially in the ministry building, which they do not understand, or it is impossible to discuss some important matters during working hours.

The Northeast Energy Reserve Expansion Project, which is ready to be launched next year, has a total cost of 500 million yuan, of which 300 million yuan is the main project through market bidding. At the beginning, the first and second bureaus also bid for the bid, but they did not reach the edge of the 300 million project. The remaining 200 million projects, the ministry has considered, and intends to use them in the system to carry out the last directive poverty alleviation project, and the relevant decision-making and demonstration work is now in the final sprint on the mouth of an expert. Although this matter is still hanging in the air, the direction of guidance is clear, and it is a matter of time before it lands, so it is difficult for some relevant leaders to sit still. Let's just talk about a few deputy ministers, everyone has a work in charge, and everyone is worried about throwing the 200 million poverty alleviation project into their own land, but southern Jiangsu wants to get these 200 million poverty alleviation projects, but he is more eager than anyone else. He understands that with the power in his hands, it is not impossible to combine the first game and the second game now, but he thinks that it is not smart to do that, and there will be many troubles, and he also plans to take the opportunity of the future merger to arrange a simple future, so he feels that the merger must have a good excuse to support it, and carry 200 million to Dongsheng, this is the best excuse. In these days, for the 200 million poverty alleviation project that cannot be seen and touched, he has been doing a lot of activities at the meeting, and he needs to use the 200 million poverty alleviation project to draw an end to his work and life.

I don't have time to listen to your work report today, and I can't look at me a few times. Sunan said, glancing at Wen Pu.

Wen Pu understood what Su Nan meant by what he said, so he glanced at his watch, and then looked up at the two bureau chiefs who were nervous on their faces, and said half-truthfully, Minister Su was worried that I would not arrange today's working lunch properly, and I am sorry for you leaders outside Beijing.

Yuan Kun also looked at his watch, bent down slightly and said, Almost, Minister Su, then we will accompany you to check Secretary Wen's work.

Li Hanyi looked at Wen Pu and smiled.

Wen Pu said, this working meal is not well arranged, Minister Su blames me, and will blame me for dereliction of duty, but if you two big bureau chiefs complain about me, then I can't bear it. Serving the grassroots, but Minister Su has always been on his lips.

Sunan said with a smile, looking ahead and looking back, taking care of the left and right, contacting inside and outside, and being busy before and after, Secretary Wen's bowl of rice, how delicious is it I said the two directors.

As soon as Yuan Kun heard that Sunan was not very principled, he became angry, and said positively, Secretary Wen, you are doing things, can Minister Su still rest assured?

Wen Pu didn't react to Yuan Kun's compliment, he called Minister Su lightly, and then made a gesture to ask Su Nan to go first.

When I walked to the door, Sunan said, one or two people reassure me, my heart is not good, if you all let me rest assured, my heart will be put in place.

Li Hanyi skillfully answered, Minister Su, I will cooperate happily with Director Yuan in Dongsheng's affairs.

Yuan Kunyi frowned, glanced at Li Hanyi and said, Cooperation is a tiring thing, Director Li, I'm worried that your body can't bear it.

Li Han nodded at him with a smile, and said in a cliché, Don't worry, Director Yuan, I can still cooperate with you even if I vomit blood every day.

Sunan turned his head, looked at Li Hanyi and asked, have you been to the hospital?

Li Hanyi said calmly, after a comprehensive investigation of Minister Su, the lung mucosa was pulled.

Sunan breathed a sigh of relief and said, it's good to be safe, there is a lot of work waiting for you to do.

Yuan Kun also smiled and said with emotion, no illness or disaster, better than anything else, you told me that you were okay, and my heart was put down by Director Li earlier.

Li Han waved his hand and said with a pun, what to say, it's not like there's nothing to do, Director Yuan!

Yuan Kun pouted and shrugged his shoulders.

People who are not selfish cannot be leaders; People who are too selfish are not good leaders! Sunan said, raised his legs and walked to the door.

Yuan Kun and Li Hanyi were both stunned by Sunan's aphorism-like words.

Wen Pu opened the door of the house, and Sunan walked out. Next, Wen Pu meant to let the two directors go out, and the two directors at this time had the common meaning of letting Wen Pu keep up with Sunan's footsteps.

The two directors pushed a few rounds in their eyes, and Yuan Kun couldn't stand this silent grinding, so he simply pushed Wen Pu out of the door, and then made a gesture to let Li Hanyi go first, and Li Hanyi gestured to ask Yuan Kun to go first.

Li Han knocked on the side and said, Yuan Ju, let's be polite, but there is news.

Yuan Kun leaned close to Li Hanyi's ear, and said in a tone of loss, you just expressed your attitude, if your brother doesn't go first, I will not be able to cooperate with Director Li in the future.

At this time, Sunan turned around and said lightly, I didn't call you at the meeting just now, it doesn't mean that there is no problem with Dongsheng's production safety, you two had better not pretend to be confused, and use your mind more in the right place, and wait for something to happen and then find regret medicine, it will be too late!

Li Hanyi took a few steps and threw Yuan Kun behind.
