Veterinarian: From unemployment to the top of life

Nan Zhanjiang's situation was very awkward and it was inconvenient for him to stand up.

There was no other way, he could only chat with Mr. Mei for another ten minutes.

All they talked about was praising me and saying that my medical skills were second to none in the entire city.

He also wrote down my phone number and said he might need my help in the future.

After finally sending this guy away, Mr. Mei felt relieved...

It can be seen that Mr. Mei had wanted to send him away a long time ago, but because of his face, he kept him here in poverty...

"Xiao Cheng," after sitting down again, Mr. Mei murmured meaningfully, "You are too honest! What else can I tell him?"

When I heard this, I gasped, surprised, and felt very wronged...

Just now, didn't you tell me to say whatever I wanted to say?

"Dad, I was wrong!" I lowered my head humbly.

"Sit down, sit down!" Mr. Mei raised his hand and motioned for me to sit down.

"Since you call me 'Dad', you have to listen to me from now on..." Mr. Mei's tone was gentle, but his attitude was strong.

He paused and continued, "Of course, Dad will also give you some pointers on how to proceed in the future."

Seeing that I was still cautious, with my head down and a respectful look, Mr. Mei asked again: "You have a good relationship with that Gao Jun?"

Damn! When I heard him say this, my heart skipped a beat. I didn’t know how to respond appropriately.

What I don’t understand even more is why he suddenly mentioned Gao Jun?

“Uh uh uh, we’re just maintaining a superficial relationship. After all, he’s my eldest brother-in-law. In fact, Secretary Gao and I are not familiar with each other,” I swallowed and said, “We hardly see each other on a regular basis, and… I don’t like him very much.”

"Oh?" Elder Mei smiled and said, "Gao Jun has often spoken well of you in front of leaders at all levels."

Mr. Mei’s words made me even more confused. I don’t know what he is up to.

The reason why I clearly stated that I don’t like Gao Jun was because I got inspiration from Song Haiyun.

Song Haiyun’s attitude was very clear: Gao Jun, a scum in the people’s team, would not have a good end!

Since my daughter said so, my father’s opinion should be consistent with hers, right?

This is the “trump card” I use as a reference when expressing my opinions.

In addition, Gao Jun spoke well of me in front of leaders at all levels. What does this mean?

I am not a member of the system and I will not be promoted within the system. Do I need him to say good things about me?

Besides, I didn't make any mistakes...

Seeing that Mr. Mei was staring at me, I said awkwardly, "Dad, it's like this... I don't know much about Secretary Gao, but I just feel that he is a sinister person!"

"Hahaha!" Hearing what I said, Mr. Mei laughed. His laugh was so bright and "proud" that it made me feel... as if I had guessed right.

"You are really too honest. There are some things that we should just talk about between us two. Don't talk about them outside," Mr. Mei advised.

"Dad, don't worry, I'm not that stupid..." I said seriously.

"Hmm!" Elder Mei nodded: "Do you know why Nan Zhanjiang asked me to come here today?"

I blinked and shook my head.

Elder Mei sighed, "It was because of Gao Jun's matter. Now Gao Jun might want to move up a level, so he came over to test my opinion..."

"Oh oh oh," I nodded thoughtfully.

I thought... there must be something mysterious going on here. Is Gao Jun going to get a promotion? Oh my god! How could this be the opposite of what I expected?

My eldest sister told me that Gao Jun was doomed and would not survive more than a few months.

But Mr. Mei told me that Gao Jun was going to be promoted. What the hell is this?

You have to know that the eldest sister is not just a private entrepreneur. Her father is also an old leader, even comparable to Mr. Mei, but he has retired.

The information she obtained must be extremely accurate, but......

Seeing my confused look, Mei Lao smiled and said, "Xiao Cheng, listen to your father. Getting along with Gao Jun requires an art."

I blinked, not understanding what he meant.

Mr. Mei paused and continued, "You may have resistance in your heart, but you must learn to be flexible on the outside and flexible on the inside. You should use him when you should, flatter him when you should, and pretend to be close to him when you are not close to him. You should be able to do these... But remember, don't do things with him. When the time comes to get rid of him, it won't implicate you."

I don't understand what he means by working in partnership. I have never worked in partnership with Gao Jun before.

"Dad, I know. I have never done anything in partnership with Gao Jun?" I said seriously.

"I mean in the future!" Mr. Mei emphasized.

"Oh oh oh," I nodded again.

Seeing that I was a little dull and didn't seem to be very enlightened, Mr. Mei sighed, thought for a while and said, "The political ecology of the officialdom is actually not as complicated as you think, but it is not simple either. You just need to remember a few points firmly..."

He paused and continued, "No matter how our society develops or changes, it is still essentially a peasant society, influenced by the inertia of traditional culture. Whoever caters to the peasants will succeed!"

His words left me completely confused. What does it mean to cater to the farmers?

"What's so special about farmers?" Mr. Mei said meaningfully, "They are short-sighted and shallow-minded. They can only see one inch ahead and only focus on immediate interests. They hate others for having something and laugh at others for not having something. They turn hostile when they can't get a bite."

"Oh oh oh..." I nodded repeatedly, thinking to myself, this is what he meant.

I thought that when he said catering to farmers, he meant paying attention to their living standards.

Mr. Mei said: "People in the officialdom are like this. Whether they are doing things or being a person, they have to emulate the peasants, be short-sighted, and pursue short-term benefits. Once you take a long-term view, you will no longer belong to this group and you will be isolated. The consequence of being isolated is that you are doomed! Sometimes, you have to use the feudal society's sworn brotherhood system to quickly integrate into the group..."

At this point, Elder Mei changed the subject and said, "Xiao Cheng, your biggest shortcoming is that you are not very honest. Do you know what it is?"

I blinked in confusion and said, "Dad, if you tell me, I will definitely change!"

Elder Mei smiled slightly: "Your biggest shortcoming is that you have too much knowledge and too many skills. I heard Haiyun tell me that you know a lot and your knowledge is very comprehensive. However, in the officialdom, this is not an advantage, but a disadvantage!"

I go!

Mr. Mei’s words once again overturned my three views!

Knowing too much is a disadvantage, not an advantage? Why is this so?

To be frank, all the women I've come into contact with can be considered successful people.

Take Hu Xiaoting for example, she can buy a G-Class for a man. How many girls of her age can do that?

Not to mention Liao Ruxue, Sister Sun, Meijuan, Wu Xinwen, and Wu Xinlin, all of these smart people.

Therefore, since entering the workplace, I have been constantly learning. Whenever I have time, I will read some information and enrich myself.

As a result, when I got to Mr. Mei, he directly denied my answer. The more knowledge I have, the more wrong I am...

Seeing my puzzled look, Mr. Mei smiled and said, "To be an official, you need a diploma, but you don't need real knowledge. The more knowledge you have, the more independent you will think. However, independent thinking is a taboo for officials. Following the will of the leader is the kingly way! Look at these current leaders, they all have master's and doctoral degrees. Of course, you need a diploma to be an official, but you can't have real knowledge!"

He paused and continued, "The pursuit of truth is not for officials, but for intellectuals. What do officials need to do? It is to seek various benefits, for yourself and for others. Only in this way can you be valuable, a valuable subordinate, superior, or colleague... Only then will others be on your side, and you will be able to stand firm and sit firmly... Otherwise, why would you be given the bench to sit on?"

Mr. Mei’s words shocked my soul!

He is indeed not an easy person to deal with!

My initial judgment was correct, and Song Haiyun’s worries were also correct!

No wonder Song Haiyun doesn’t even dare to accept the necklace I gave her!

Seeing my shocked and bewildered expression, Mr. Mei continued, "Your superiors promote you because you can bring them benefits, your subordinates obey you because you can bring benefits to others, and your colleagues care about you for the same reason. Sometimes, when there is a conflict of interest, you can give up your own interests, but you must give up the interests of others! If you cut off other people's financial resources, you will be close to failure!"

"In addition, the more important point is," Mr. Mei emphasized: "When the leader says that someone is capable at work, it does not mean that he is capable of doing things, but that he is good at being a person and coordinating interests. In short, subordinates who are capable and good at building relationships and can be controlled are the direct subordinates, and those who cannot be controlled are the opponents, and they must be dealt with severely! If the subordinates are capable but ignorant and can't build relationships, then give them all the dirty and tiring work, making them the main force of the cows and horses, but they have no chance of promotion and salary increase. If the subordinates are not capable but good at building relationships, then take the achievements of the cows and horses and share them with the leader 30% and 70%. Remember, the leader is 70..."

I was so dizzy after hearing what Mr. Mei had told me! I smacked my lips in embarrassment.

Seeing my confused look, Mr. Mei laughed and said, "What you are exposed to is the culture outside the sect, which you can tell everyone. What Dad told you is the culture inside the sect, which only a father would tell his son!"

"Dad, I know," I swallowed, nodded, and said, "But, Dad, I don't work in the officialdom, and I'm not interested in it. I don't want to take the civil service exam, I just want to..."

Mr. Mei smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "You will soon be exposed to this area..."

Damn! What Mr. Mei said made my heart skip a beat! What did he mean? Did he want me to go into politics?

Could this be the reason why he called me here today?

No, no, no! Think about Wu Xinwen. I don’t want to enter the officialdom. I just want to be a commoner!
