Yuan Feng's determination to replace Qiao Fuchang's office director was related to some events that happened in Meidu District later. These events were actually a contest between the district committee secretary Lao Shao and the district elder Lao Ling.

Qiao Fuchang was chosen to be the office director next to Yuan Feng. Apart from the fact that Qiao Fuchang met Yuan Feng's employment standards, there was another meaning, that is, Qiao Fuchang's wife, Xiao Ling, was the cousin of Ling, the elder of Meidu District.At the beginning, Yuan Feng arranged Qiao Fuchang to be the office director by his side, and there was a reason why he wanted to deepen his relationship with Lao Ling.

In Meidu District, one may not pay attention to the relationship with the secretary, Lao Shao, but one must pay attention to the relationship with the district chief, Lao Ling. Lao Ling regards personal feelings as more important than work, and is promoted step by step by virtue of his extensive personal connections.Although the district elder, Lao Ling, is said to be the second in command in the district, he has been nesting in the coal capital district since he joined the work. .He is an out-and-out local monk, and local monks have the obvious advantages of local monks. No matter what scriptures they recite, there are people who are willing to listen to them.In the district, Lao Ling became a character who never said a word and never plowed the land. He could cover half the sky with a slap.What Yuan Feng pushed was Lao Ling's upper hand.

Compared with District Chief Lao Ling, District Party Secretary Lao Shao is a standard foreign monk.

Before Lao Shao was appointed by the city, he was the secretary of his predecessor.Usually, people who are born as secretaries are polite and indecisive, but old Shao is neither polite nor indecisive, and has a quick temper. He talks like a cannonball, fast, and does not go too far. It's seedlings, not entangled with each other, as if he was born in the army, with a carefree look, he doesn't care about anything, this is his appearance.In fact, he is as meticulous as a bean, and he cares about everything, and there is an abacus in his stomach.In the official circles, when it is said that someone has a city, they like to describe it as "likes and dislikes are invisible", which means that they wrap themselves up tightly and don't put anything on their faces.Lao Shao always puts everything on his face, and he always has a face, but what he puts on his face is always thick lines of carelessness.

"Invisible" and "a face" are the same. "Invisibility" is easy for people to ponder, what kind of person they are, and what they are thinking about; "a face" omits these, since it is obvious what kind of person it is on the outside, of course it can be guessed What are you thinking about.Lao Shao used his "face" to hide what was in his heart, and he was smarter and more cunning than the "invisible" people.Another characteristic of Lao Shao is that he is proficient in interpersonal relationships. People in the unit usually float on the surface and do nothing, thinking about people and things when they have nothing to do. He became a human being.

Lao Shao's control over people and Lao Ling's control over people can be said to be the same, and they are indistinguishable.

Lao Shao didn't show his true colors.As soon as he was dispatched from above, he had not yet mastered the situation below, so he took advantage of his good looks to the extreme. When you lose your temper and don’t lose your temper, you should criticize the person and not criticize others, just like a plow raking the ground, adjust the plow teeth to the widest point, rather than touch the hard soil, because you are afraid that people have not stood still. If you stand firm, you will offend a large number of people.Lao Shao's illusion has confused many cadres, and they all think he is so foolish.The good-natured idlers in the district gave him a portrait, saying that the leader who is easy to fool can wet his shoes in a smooth wind. Such a leader can't help those who follow him, and he is often not firm in the appointment of cadres.It doesn't matter if you don't speak forcefully and can't cover the people below. It doesn't matter if you chase after or not, because this kind of leadership can't damage anything, and it can't make anything better.

Tong Shide, director of the Finance Bureau of the Coal Capital District, has this idea.

At the beginning of the year, a people's meeting was held in the district, and Tong Shide made a financial report on behalf of the government.There is a financial expenditure without a detailed source, and only a general report of how much money has been spent.The secretary of the district party committee, Lao Shao, was afraid that the delegates would ask questions during the discussion, so he told Tong Shide in his office to prepare a breakdown of expenditures for him.Tong Shide said "China, China", but turned around and forgot about it.However, during the group discussion, a representative brought it up, but Lao Shao couldn't say it out, so he blushed and his neck was thick, so he took it to heart.When the National People's Congress closed, Lao Shao attended a group banquet, met Tong Shide in the corridor, stopped, and said solemnly, Director Tong, if you are not busy, can you give me a copy of the financial expenditure details?Although his face was calm, what Tong Shide saw was full of anger.When Lao Shao reminded him like this, Tong Shide remembered this incident, because he had inadvertently forgotten what the secretary of the district committee had explained.

Tong Shide didn't treat Lao Shao deliberately.On that day, Tong Shide came out of Lao Shao’s office and met District Chief Lao Ling at the door. Lao Ling said: I heard that when the financial report was voted on at this year’s general meeting, several representatives would vote against it. Although it has nothing to do with the overall situation, it has a great negative impact. , You have to lead several deputy bureau chiefs and one delegation to communicate with the other to resolve the problem.Lao Ling usually pays attention to what Lao Ling explained, and since this matter is related to his own work, Tong Shide dare not neglect, and when he gets nervous, he forgets what Lao Shao explained.Seeing the secretary teasing him, Tong Shide admitted in his heart that he had indeed lightened Lao Shao's weight, and hurriedly apologized, saying that he asked the secretary to take care of him, and was only busy with the representatives at the meeting. When he was busy, he forgot everything.Lao Shao said it was all right.In fact, I kept this matter in my stomach.

Then, the district held a standing committee to study the implementation of the government work report.Before the meeting, Lao Ling said that thanks to the timely discovery of this year's National People's Congress, several representatives tried to make trouble but failed to make trouble.I gave my old fellow a death order and asked him to divide into groups to do the work of the representatives and ensure that the financial report was passed unanimously.Lao Tong is really a reliable person, no matter what task he is assigned, he can complete it satisfactorily with both quality and quantity.Lao Ling praised Lao Tong on the surface, but himself on the bottom.When it reached Lao Shao's ears, it was particularly harsh. He felt that Tong Shide's forgetting of what he had explained was not a matter of one thing, but a contempt for himself as a secretary.It's like calling a certain acquaintance, but the caller doesn't answer, the caller doesn't care about it, there are various reasons for not answering the phone, if you know who the caller is, and you don't answer and don't call back, it can only explain the person Not important in the mind of the person answering the call.Lao Shao is in this mood at the moment.Comparing with Lao Lingyi, I feel a layer of frost in my heart.

In less than half a year, Lao Shao took control of the situation in Coal City.An adjustment was made to the cadres in the district, and the targets of the adjustment were all the cadres who had something to do with him. The quick action, the tough wrist, and the domineering way of employing people made even Lao Ling stunned.It turned out that Lao Shao's "face" was a smokescreen.

When Tong Shide came back to his senses, he felt that Lao Shao was also stubborn.Touching his head, he still wears the hat of the chief financial officer, but he feels that it is unreal, and he is in danger of being taken off at any time.So, I found various reasons to get close to Lao Shao, and Lao Shao didn't show that he didn't want to be seen or not. He was enthusiastic when he should be enthusiastic, and he talked when he should talk, but he felt that the enthusiasm was deliberately shown, and the words were floating on the surface The mandarin is separated from him by a layer in my heart and I can't get through.Tong Shide couldn't feel at ease.

At the end of the year, a meeting was held to study the use of funds, and Tong Shide also participated in the meeting.At the meeting, it is necessary to determine the issuance of the agency civilized unit award.The government agency of Meidu District is a civilized unit at the municipal level, and according to the regulations, it can award a bonus of one month's salary throughout the year.Lao Ling is the mayor of the district and holds the power of financial expenditure. He spoke first, saying that this year's finances are particularly difficult, and that workers' wages should be guaranteed first.Lao Shao disagreed, saying that the civilization award must be given out, and other expenses can be reduced.Old Shao had just arrived in the district as the secretary of the district committee, and the people below had high expectations for him. They expected that the loss of the Civilization Award would affect his image.Old Shao realized this.

Seeing that Lao Shao was determined to give it away, Lao Ling explained that the Civilization Award does not have to be given out. According to the regulations, the government has the money to give it out, and if there is no money, it will not be given out.Lao Shao asked why it could be distributed in previous years?Lao Ling said that this year's situation is special.Without waiting for Lao Ling to explain below, Lao Shao said like a cannonball: Financial difficulties, which unit from the central government to the local government is not talking about it?After all, the reality is the reality. Is there any unit that is so difficult that it cannot be uncovered?Which unit is not fat enough to eat and drink?Lao Ling saw that Lao Shao's words were smug, so he didn't answer the conversation immediately. He stopped and drank a few sips of tea and said that financial difficulties and being unable to solve the problem are two different things.Lao Shao was still angry, saying that I don't care about three things, I just ask that the civilization award be issued on time this year.Lao Ling smiled noncommittally, and said that you don't care about the money, and you don't know the difficulty.Lao Shao was also noncommittal and smiled and said, who is not difficult?The position we sit in is a difficult position.When he said this, he turned his head and said to Tong Shide, the chief financial officer sitting behind, "Old Tong, you are in charge of finances. Let me ask you, can other financial expenditures be reduced?"Tong Shide was caught off guard, didn't know how to answer, and kept touching his face.

After the meeting, we sat in the car with Shide, thinking more and more that something was wrong.I feel that it is difficult to be the head of the finance bureau, not because of financial turnover difficulties, but because of the conflict between the secretary Lao Shao and the district chief Lao Ling.If there is a conflict between the two top leaders, the most uncomfortable thing is the person in charge of the important department of the unit. The secretary and the district head both use the person in charge to talk about things. weights.Therefore, the heads of these important departments carefully balance the two sides, walking in the middle like walking a tightrope.The person in charge of a non-important department is different. Sometimes, they like to have conflicts between the two top leaders. There is no need to find a balance, and sometimes I am willing to break the balance and stand on the side, thinking that it is an opportunity to stand up.

The Finance Bureau is an important department in the district, and it is not easy to be the head of the bureau.Not only must the secretary of the district party committee and the district chief have no objections to him, but also the relationship between the two parties must be maintained so that the position of the director can be secured.Now the secretary of the district committee, Lao Shao, seemed to have a full belly of prejudice against him, and he knew that this prejudice was transmitted from Lao Ling.Lao Ling shouldn't have protected him at the meeting. If he protected him, Lao Shao would think he belonged to Lao Ling.Lao Ling had good intentions to speak for him, but it was a disservice to help.

Tong Shide didn't dare to neglect, and set up a dinner party to invite Lao Shao to dinner.He wanted to use the meal to report his thoughts, to eliminate Lao Shao's misunderstanding of him, and to deepen their relationship with each other.When the phone call came, Lao Shao said: You can't hide from the wine outside, so don't make it harder for yourself.It was easy to speak, but Tong Shide felt not easy.Old Shao is not a person who can see the intestines and stomach at a glance. The intestines in his stomach are coiled and circled. The more polite he speaks, the more guilty he feels.However, recalling that when Lao Shao adjusted the cadres last time, he took down the cadres he didn't like but didn't adjust him, and vaguely felt that he still had a place in Lao Shao's heart.There is a position, but I don’t know whether it is real or fake. Tong Shide decided to test it first, using the fake resignation as an excuse to observe whether Lao Shao is really staying or pretending to stay, and how far he is staying. Only then can he know what to do in the future. response.

Tong Shide went to Lao Shao's office to report to work.Be polite first, and talk about how Lao Shao treats him well and supports his work.Old Shao's ears twitched, thinking that what the old fellow said was against his will.It's not been a day or two since I said goodbye to him in my heart, not to mention being kind to him, I hate him to the extreme.The last time the cadres were adjusted, the reason why he was not adjusted was mainly to take care of Lao Ling's feelings.The district chief is in charge of finance and has the right to speak to the chief of the finance bureau. If he takes down Lao Tong's chief of finance, he will definitely fall out with Lao Ling.What's more, no one who can sit on the position of chief financial officer can't sit on it, so he didn't touch Laotong.

Lao Shao told his old fellow that it was all work in the district, and it didn’t matter whether he took care of him or not. He regarded his work as a career, and he was a competent leader if he had a sense of responsibility and a sense of career.He spoke in official language, Tong Shide was taken aback, and said with a smile that he did not dare to slack off at all because he regarded it as a career, but sometimes he was unable to do what he wanted.Old Shao glanced at him and said, didn't you do a good job?How could you be so powerless?Tong Shide sighed, took out a pack of cigarettes from his briefcase, and shook it to indicate that he wanted to smoke.Lao Shao made a gesture, and Tong Shide took a cigarette from the box, lit it, and took a deep breath.Lao Shao lowered his head to flip through the newspaper, glanced at the old fellow sitting opposite him from the corner of his eye, shrouded in smoke, with a preoccupied look.Lao Shao is short-tempered, and he doesn't like other people's talk as a foreshadowing. If you say that Lao Shao has difficulties with you, don't make it sound like it.Tong Shide sighed again and said, "Secretary Shao, I have something personal, I don't know if I should say it or not?Try to keep your tone as calm as possible, so that Lao Shao feels the embarrassment of wanting to say something.Old Shao said carelessly that there was nothing inappropriate to say in front of me.Tong Shide then said, "I want to give up the position of finance director to comrades in the prime of life, and I will ask for your opinion first."These words were carefully considered by Tong Shide. He could not say that he had resigned so that Lao Shao felt that he had decided to resign and would not keep him anymore, and he could not speak bluntly, so that Lao Shao felt that he deliberately suppressed his army and aroused resentment.To express the meaning of resignation without focusing on the resignation, this is the true meaning of Tongshide.

Hearing Tong Shide's resignation, Lao Shao was still shocked.However, I immediately understood what he meant. He didn't really resign, but he wanted to test himself by resigning, so he looked up at him and asked why he resigned?Tong Shide sucked a puff of cigarette into his stomach, and said slowly that he was unable to do what he wanted.Lao Shao asked again whether it was because of work or health?Tong Shide did not answer, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, refilled the remaining cigarette butt, raised his eyes to look at Old Shao, shook his head, and asked the question, how is Secretary Shao's physical condition?In Tong Shide's view, if he expresses the meaning of resignation, he can't extend the words further. If it is extended, Lao Shao will mistakenly think that he really wants to resign.Old Shao said perfunctorily, neither good nor bad.Old Shao could see his thoughts, and his brain was moving rapidly.Replacing Lao Tong was a long-standing idea. Lao Tong belonged to Lao Ling. He and Lao Ling wore the same pair of pants and walked on one leg.Lao Shao pretended to be reluctant and said: A rare bureau chief like you resigns as soon as he says he wants to resign. Even if he resigns, he has to be mentally prepared. Hey, if you resign now, how can I choose a suitable person like you?After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lao Tong to react, he picked up the phone and dialed Lao Ling, saying that Lao Tong is resigning in my office now, and I can't even keep him. You have to think about such an important position as the director of finance. People like Lao Tong.Lao Shao talking like this is equivalent to paying Lao Tong, and the reason why he still tells Lao Ling is actually to block Lao Tong's way back.

Tong Shide went around in a big circle and got himself in.

Yuan Feng was moved when he heard that the District Committee was considering a candidate for the Director of the Finance Bureau.Although the finance bureau chief and the urban construction bureau chief are at the same level, they are of different importance in the district.The head of the Finance Bureau is in charge of the money, and every unit looks up.Yuan Feng told Lao Shao that he wanted to be the director of the Finance Bureau. Lao Shao didn't have a better candidate at hand at the moment, and felt that although Yuan Feng was not close to him, his relationship with him was decent. Qing's previous relationship was not counted in the district chief's circle, so he verbally agreed.

Lao Shao held a secretary's office meeting to discuss the candidate to be the director of the Finance Bureau.Lao Shao proposed Yuan Feng as a backup candidate, and District Chief Lao Ling denied it on the spot.Lao Ling didn't have any opinion on Yuan Feng, nor did he feel that he was not suitable to be the director of the finance bureau, but he had resistance to the secretary, Lao Shao. He thought that if Lao Shao had spent the finance director of Tongshide, he had to veto the candidate the secretary was looking for. .First, it can show the existence of the position of district chief.Although the district party secretary has the initiative in the appointment and promotion of cadres, it does not mean that the district chief has no right to speak. If he chooses to veto one or two candidates proposed by the district party secretary, he will become passive on the issue of cadres.Second, it can show the existence of Lao Ling's personal charm.As far as his temperament is concerned, not to mention pissing on people everywhere, but it is by no means urinating loudly. Which person who came from the grassroots can cover a large area when he stands up, and can get four taels of dirt when he sits down?Lao Ling's denial of Yuan Feng's candidate for the Finance Bureau made Lao Shao unexpected, and regretted that he did not circle the circle of appointing Yuan Feng.

Lao Ling regretted vetoing Yuan Feng.At the meeting, he acted on the spur of the moment in order to contradict Lao Shao. After he calmed down, he realized that he had made a mistake. Vetoing Yuan Feng was tantamount to offending him.

When Yuan Feng learned that he was vetoed by Lao Ling, he was calm on the surface, but he was not feeling well in his heart.He didn't have any conflicts with Lao Ling, and there was no unresolved knot. Lao Ling's cousin Xiao Ling worked under him, and he didn't have to go against him if he didn't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face.Lao Ling made such a play, which shows that in Lao Ling's eyes, he does not have himself at all.

Yuan Feng's heart sank slowly. He thought of Xiao Ling, and then thought of Xiao Ling's husband, Qiao Fuchang. After Qiao Fuchang knew about sending flowers, Yuan Feng made up his mind to get rid of Qiao Fuchang's office director.
