Official Ladder [Grassroots Civil Servants]

At eight o'clock in the morning, Wang Hongtao was waiting at the gate of Guo Mingxiong's office, and wanted the old leader to give some advice before meeting Governor Chen.

After Gao Shuai saw it, he came over and said, "Hong Tao, Minister Guo hasn't come yet, why don't you go to my office for a meeting?"

"I won't go, I'll wait, maybe the leader will come soon. Brother Gao, I brought you some special products, and I will put the trunk for you after get off work at noon."

"Hong Tao, I let you contract all the mutton for the Chinese New Year. I'm really sorry. I have a few shopping cards. If you don't take them, I don't want your special products either!"

"Why are you being polite to me? The leader is here, and he will call after get off work at noon."

As soon as Guo Mingxiong got out of the elevator, he saw Wang Hongtao, walked over and said, "Why don't you call ahead? Just stand here and wait like a wooden pile."

"I didn't wait for a few minutes, just thinking about the problem."

"Meet something? Go in and talk."

After the two entered the door, Guo Mingxiong said, "Pour the water yourself and tell me, what's bothering you?"

"Minister, I have an appointment at eleven o'clock to pay New Year's greetings to Governor Chen, and I am thinking about how to talk to the Governor."

"It's often said that if you don't want to be strong, you must have something to ask for. Let me guess, do you want to run for an official? There will be a change of office soon, and you want to be the top leader?"

"Minister, you still know me! I want to make progress, it's a normal request."

"Let me analyze it for you. Ningyang is a politically powerful county in Yingjiang City and ranks in the top three economically. If you want to go to the bottom counties, you can even seek the secretary of the county party committee, and the counties in the middle and upper reaches, then be honest. To be honest, to fight for the county magistrate, the first choice must be Zhenbei District, and there is not much difference in other counties. Let me tell you something, the head of Zhenbei District will go to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection next month to be the director of the Letters and Visits Office. The goal is set higher, and if you want to fight, fight for the most Even if you can't win a good position, the consolation prize won't be too bad!"

"Golden words, let me understand. Minister, if Governor Chen proposes to let me return to the provincial government, what should I say?"

"Hong Tao, really don't you think about going back to the province? According to my observation, if you come back, you will most likely be the director of the provincial government office. To a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, starting at the deputy department level, isn't it better than working hard in the county?"

For a moment, Wang Hongtao's thoughts were shaken. Guo Mingxiong's suggestion was too tempting, but if he thought about it carefully, if he followed that path, he would most likely skip the experience of being the top leader in the county, which would be the biggest regret in his career in politics. Then he said firmly: "Minister, I still want to work in the county, so I have the cheek to ask the minister to help me again. I want to go to Zhenbei District."

"Okay, then report your thoughts to the governor truthfully. As for how to show loyalty, I don't need to teach you? There are thousands of people, and different people say the same thing with different effects. Think about it yourself. As for me You don’t have to think about it, you will definitely try your best to help you fight for it.”

At 10:30, Wang Hongtao appeared in Li Chenghong's office. He would rather wait for an hour by himself than let the leader wait for a second.

"The director of the Finance Department is inside. I'll take a look. You can go in as soon as he's gone."

"Thank you, Brother Li!"

If you arrive early, you will be lucky. Wang Hongtao entered Governor Chen's office 10 minutes early, respectfully put down the well-prepared Pu'er tea and said, "Governor, I wish you an early New Year. I wish you good health and success in everything!"

"Physical health is the greatest luxury, and everything goes well is the most beautiful luxury. Hong Tao, the tea you brought is not ordinary. You have worked hard and spent a lot of money, right? I am an experienced tea drinker."

"Governor, I didn't spend a lot of money, I just used some snacks. Besides, it's reasonable to spend my own money and honor the elders."

"Haha, I almost forgot, you are an investment expert. I heard from Mingxiong that you bought four houses in the capital?"

"Yes, last year my wife bought it for a trip to the capital."

"Hongtao, with the improvement of the system, the property disclosure system for leading cadres is imperative and will be gradually standardized. Although it is your legal income, it will still cause some misunderstandings after it is disclosed. It is best to handle it properly."

"Governor, why don't I sell the house?"

"It's not necessary. After all, it's your legal income. I haven't encountered this situation before. You are an outlier among civil servants, and you can earn tens of millions!"

Wang Hongtao said embarrassingly: "Governor, it's even more troublesome now, the card has [-] million yuan!"

The more Governor Chen thought about it, the more amusing he became. He laughed a few times and said, "After that, go to the Provincial Commission for Disciplinary Inspection to file a case, so as not to cause misunderstandings. Which civil servant has as much money as you! It's a strange thing. I think your ability to earn money is better than that of an official. The ability is much stronger, you can consider changing careers!"

"Earning money is the path, and serving the people is the path! I know the importance, and I won't neglect my job in the future. One advantage of having more money is that it can eliminate my greed and focus all my energy on work." Wang Hongtao felt that it was necessary to put Report the personal situation to the governor clearly.

"Indeed, corruption often comes from greed. There is really no need to worry about you. Let's get down to business. This year is a new year, and the province, city, and county will have a major adjustment. Given your work performance, there is a certain degree of The possibility is further. I also asked for your opinion last time, or do I plan to serve below? I plan to let Li Chenghong go down to exercise."

The meaning of the governor was self-evident, Wang Hongtao felt that it was difficult to say the words of refusal, so he couldn't help scratching his head, and finally said with difficulty: "Governor, Director Li must have been promoted to the position of deputy department when he went down, right? To be selfish, I want to have the work experience and experience of the main leaders of the county; if I improve myself, I also want to use my ability to make the lives of ordinary people better and better. At the grassroots level, I can understand more intuitively In all aspects of society, only by accumulating valuable grass-roots work experience and effectively improving work ability can we serve the governor better." I don't know if what I said is right, Wang Hongtao is very disturbed at this time, feeling that he is a little ignorant, but in his heart I really don't want to be a "waiter", even the governor's waiter.

"It seems that your will is very firm. Well, I respect your opinion. What you said is also reasonable. From the perspective of employing people from above, they pay more and more attention to the work experience at the grassroots level, especially the resumes of the county party secretary and county magistrate. Then you Just work in the county, and being a district magistrate is also a training."

Wang Hongtao hurriedly said, "Thank you Governor for your understanding, and thank you Governor for his promotion!"

"I didn't seem to say I wanted to promote you, did I?"

"Governor Chen has a keen eye and discerns every detail. Under the care and guidance of the governor, I will work hard and give the governor a satisfactory answer with the best results."

"Haha, if I don't need you, am I blind? Hong Tao, Deputy Secretary Ning has an impression of you. You are still young, so put your mind to your work. Don't be like those old fritters, thinking about interests and power all day long. Those who can really get to a high position must have a firm heart to serve the people, I hope I read you right."

"I will never disappoint the governor's expectations. If I change my original intention and fail my mission, the governor can dismiss me at any time!"

"Time is the best touchstone, it will prove everything!"

Finally, Wang Hongtao dared to ask: "Governor, I heard that the district chief of Zhenbei District returned to the province to take up a post."

Governor Chen glanced at him and said, "Don't ask me anything. No matter what position you are in, you have to work hard and be picky? Well, you go first, I have a reception at noon. I wish you a happy new year too! "

"Governor, you are busy. I will report to you when I have a chance."

After going out, Wang Hongtao recalled every detail of the meeting with the governor, and he didn't know if there were any mistakes.

At noon, I contacted Li Chenghong, Gao Shuai and Zhou Hongjun, and transferred the New Year's goods to their car, which was regarded as the completion of the task of New Year's greetings.
