Entering the officialdom by mistake and getting promoted quickly

Fortunately, Mayor Sun did not continue to reprimand, but picked up the tea cup and drank water slowly. After a while, he spoke again and said: "As for Xia Shuo's issue, I am not suitable to intervene for the time being. As for the reason, you should understand."

Liu Jiangang is a veteran in official circles. Hearing this, he immediately realized what the mayor meant and whispered, "Is it because he is worried about the old secretary?"

Unexpectedly, Mayor Sun shook his head slowly and said indifferently: "Everyone thinks that I care about the old secretary and that I will definitely give in in order to take over. But there are some things that you don't understand at all. At our level, the most important thing is What……"

The mayor paused as he spoke, looked at Liu Jiangang with deep meaning, and said: "Of course we have to fight for power, but the prerequisite for fighting is not to harm the people. And now the young man named Xia Shuo is working hard, and he There is a high chance that it can benefit the country. So looking at this kind of thing from my perspective, not only can I not stop it, but I can also encourage it."

The mayor paused again, his tone became very serious, and he solemnly said: "You must not do this kind of thing when you go up to the house to draw a ladder. I am the mayor of the entire Yicheng City, and the people in the city are my people. Any 1 As long as an official can benefit the people, I, the mayor, can't pull his ladder down."

"Whether it's Xia Shuo or Mei Yu, although they are not from my side, I appreciate people who do practical things."

"So, Comrade Jiangang, I'm afraid your intention of coming here today will fail. I can't give you any support here."

"Not only can I not give you support, I even have to give you a few words of warning."

"That little guy Xia Shuo is dedicated to the people. He wants to lead the people in Qingshan out of poverty and become rich. This is a meritorious deed that benefits the land and water. You'd better not hold others back from behind."

"Otherwise, the people will scold you."

"When the people block your door and scold you, it will be too late for you to regret it."

"Jiangang..."

"I know you may be dissatisfied."

"I'm afraid you don't care about my reminder. In your hearts, you always think that ordinary people don't matter."

"But does it really matter if the people's scoldings don't matter?"

"It doesn't matter, it's the most difficult knife in the world to resist."

"I hope you are doing well."

"Don't ask me to save you in the future..."

After Mayor Sun finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved gently, saying: "Go back, that's all for today."

Liu Jiangang was extremely disappointed, and seemed to want to make a last-ditch effort, so he whispered: "Mayor, is it convenient for us to have a meal tonight?"

Mayor Sun waved gently again and said, "I have guests later, and we may have to talk very late."

Smart people don't need to say too much, just hit the point.

Liu Jiangang had no choice but to resign.

He walked very slowly when he resigned, imagining that the mayor might call him back, but unfortunately he never heard the mayor's call until he walked out of the door.

This means that the mayor really does not support his intentions.

……

About a minute after Liu Jiang left, the mayor's secretary opened the door and walked in.

After the secretary entered the office, he first carried a thermos bottle to add water to the mayor's water glass, and then reported in a low voice, very concisely: "I just saw a person in the courtyard, who seems to be the party secretary of Qingshan Township. …”

Mayor Sun drank water slowly, his expression unchanged.

After a long while, he finally asked, "Do you know him? Are you an acquaintance?"

The secretary quickly shook his head and reported in a low voice again: "I know him, but I'm not familiar with him. I know him because of work needs. Not only do I have to memorize the county-level leaders of all counties in the city, but I also have to memorize the leaders of some special towns. …”

The secretary paused for a moment, then continued, "But I remember, I have no friendship with them. For example, the secretary of Qingshan Township, I am not an acquaintance with him."

Mayor Sun nodded and said with a slightly joking smile: "Since I am not an acquaintance of yours, I will not take care of you."

The secretary smiled in agreement and continued the report just now, saying: "This secretary of Qingshan Township went to the small building No. 6 of the compound."

Building No. 6!

Mayor Sun nodded again and said noncommittally: "Lao Li from the Political and Legal Committee was a former military cadre. The party secretary of Qingshan Township seems to be a former military cadre..."

The implication is self-explanatory.

The secretary looked at the mayor's face and whispered: "I've heard some rumors recently. It seems that Secretary Li of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee has a good chance. Many people are secretly talking that our Yicheng will usher in 'Sun Li'. Matching' pattern."

The pattern of Sun and Li Pei.

This kind of language can be understood by everyone in the system.

Sun refers to the current Mayor Sun. After the old secretary of the municipal party committee retires, Mayor Sun will take over as the top leader of Yicheng City.

Li refers to Secretary Sun of the Political and Legal Committee. If the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee can be promoted to mayor, he will be the future No. 2 leader of Yicheng City.

When the time comes, the first-in-command's surname is Sun, and the second-in-command's surname is Li. The structure of the principal and deputy partners will be the so-called Sun-Li pairing.

However, according to the practice in China's system, it is difficult for the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee to step into the main office, especially to directly take over the real power position of mayor. The difficulty can be said to be a thousand troops fighting to find a way.

Anyone who is familiar with the rules of the system will feel that this possibility is too small.

However, Mayor Sun actually nodded and said slowly: "If nothing else happens, Lao Li may have to straighten things up."

The secretary's face was obviously shocked, and he subconsciously said: "The province actually doesn't follow the usual rules..."

Mayor Sun interrupted the secretary with a wave of his hand and asked: "What is a practice? There is no practice in officialdom. You think it is a practice for the full-time deputy secretary to take over the mayor. You also think it is a practice for the executive deputy mayor to take over the mayor. Why political and legal affairs The party secretary cannot take over? Who stipulates that it is not a rule for him to take over?"

The secretary pursed her lips and did not dare to say anything.

Mayor Sun slowly added: "The officers who have been transferred from the military have meritorious service. During the war years, we relied on others to work hard."

The secretary nodded quickly.

Mayor Sun continued: "Although it has been 12 years since the self-defense counterattack, everyone at the top and bottom has not forgotten their contribution. This time, it was not only someone from the province who spoke for Lao Li, but also an old hero in the capital who expressed his attitude... …So, it’s settled that he will take over.”

The secretary's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but whisper: "Since he is going to take over as mayor, then you must resign as mayor. In this way, isn't it settled?"

Mayor Sun let out a sigh of relief, and said with a little bit of joy: "The old secretary has advised the provincial party committee and recommended me to take over as the secretary of Yicheng City. Before he retired, he finally helped me."

The secretary suddenly became excited.

But Mayor Sun spoke immediately and solemnly warned: "Don't talk nonsense everywhere, so as not to cause trouble."

"Yes, yes, I promise not to talk nonsense."

The secretary nodded desperately, his face still excited, and kept saying: "Don't worry, don't worry."

Mayor Sun glanced at him and said meaningfully: "Now everyone thinks that I am shrinking in order to take over. In fact, they don't know that the provincial party committee has already made a decision."

The secretary couldn't help but be confused and asked in a low voice: "Since the provincial party committee has made a decision, why are you still acting cautious."

Yes!

Since the provincial party committee has decided to let the mayor take over as secretary, why is the mayor still acting cautiously?
