Liu Zhankui was enlightened. "I didn't know that the competition between the higher-ups is so intense."
Gong Keming assumed a posture and said, "Ants living at the bottom of society will never be able to stand at the height of an eagle and look down on all things. But everything has a process of transformation. It can become a speck of dust, or it can be a phoenix undergoing nirvana, beautifully turning around and galloping for thousands of miles. As long as there are living beings, there will be competition, not to mention humans with thoughts. "
"Animals can resolve their conflicts with a fight, but humans can't. Endless intelligence leads to endless fights. There's no other way, it's all for survival. We all want to stand at the peak and look down on all the other mountains, feeling the majestic aura with our own bodies. We are already at this age. Sometimes, we think that there is no need to fight for that position. There is no need. Living freely is better than anything else. "
Liu Zhankui was never discouraged. "Director Gong, you should not have such thoughts. You are younger than me by one year. If you work hard, you can still move forward."
Gong Keming waved his hand. "How can I move forward? This time, we are only considering one or two people, and they are all coming from nowhere. We will not promote anyone from below. Furthermore, even if it is an internal recommendation, I will not have a chance. There are still a lot of people ahead of me. At most, he would be promoted to the position of Deputy Secretary. He might as well not be promoted at all. If there is a chance, I will just wait for my retirement in the National People's Congress. "
"You are too pessimistic. I have never thought of giving up. Director Qiu Yuanhang has returned to the Standing Committee, and he has been put in an important position by Secretary Zhang. If he says something, it will be easy. If you are willing, I can think of a way to get in touch with him. "
Officials never told the truth. They often said one thing, but thought another. Gong Keming is not ambitious. When he heard Liu Zhankui's words, he sat up and asked. "Can you really get in touch with him?"
Liu Zhankui nodded. "Deng Zhongyuan's younger brother, Deng Zhongqing, is the Deputy CEO of Guangming Group. He has a good relationship with Ren Guangming. Ren Guangming and Qiu Yuanhang have been friends for decades. Qiu Yuanhang's son, Qiu Jiang, is a major shareholder of Guangming Group. Back then, Ren Guangming's son, Ren Dongfang, was involved in the Hi-Tech Zone case. He was released at the end of last year. "
"Oh, why didn't you mention this before?"
"In the past, this relationship has not been established, but in recent years, it has been consolidated, and it has basically become solid."
"Oh."
Seeing that Gong Keming was deep in thought, Liu Zhankui continued, "If you're interested, you can leave this matter to me. I'll organize a meeting this weekend, and you can also participate."
Gong Keming did not respond. Instead, he weighed the pros and cons of this matter. Liu Zhankui took the opportunity to say, "Now is the period of personnel restructuring. If we miss this opportunity, we won't get it again. If Governor Qiu says something, maybe …"
Gong Keming was moved. He sat up and said, "Alright, you can arrange it."
"Okay, I'll let you know when I'm done. Try to come by this weekend. If it's too late, I'm afraid I'll miss the opportunity."
"Okay, then hurry up."
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
Gong Keming stretched his body and said, "Zhan Kui, let's go back to the topic just now. If it were up to me, I'd say we should leave as soon as there's a suitable position. We can't wait any longer. I know why you're staying in Long 'an. You're afraid that there will be trouble in your backyard, but it's not necessary. After leaving Long 'an, find a way to promote Deng Zhongyuan. Isn't it the same? "
Liu Zhankui shook his head and said, "Minister Gong, it's not that I don't believe in Zhongyuan. This person is good at doing things, but he's terrible at management. He's simple-minded and short-tempered. Giving him the position of County Mayor may not be enough. Even if he's given the position, people will change according to their environment and status. Who knows what he'll become? What if … "
"You're thinking too much and have a complete patriarchal mindset. There's no need to think that others can't survive without you. Deng Zhongyuan's thinking is simple and crude, but he still has his merits. Think about it. The City's HR Bureau Chief will retire at the end of March. If you want to go, I'll handle it. If you don't want to go to the government, I can consider freeing up a position as County party committee secretary. "
Liu Zhankui was in a dilemma and said, "Can't you transfer Lu Yiwei away?"
Gong Keming said, "Didn't I say he's a provincial leader? I have no authority to transfer him. Even if I can, he has just arrived. I can't transfer him as I please. There's still the Secretary and Mayor above him. "
Liu Zhankui said, "Fine. I'll think about it."
"Ok. Hurry up. There are many people eyeing this position. You can talk to Secretary Shao later. It shouldn't be a problem. "
"Ok. Oh, is Secretary Shao really not leaving? "
"It's unlikely now. But Mayor Dong Xiaoning will definitely leave. I heard someone has taken over her position."
"Ah? Mayor Dong is leaving? Where? "
"I don't know yet. Some people said to go back to the Provincial Women's Federation. Some said to go back to the Provincial Literary Union. The specifics have not been decided yet. Also, the person taking over is also a female general. As for who it is, I'm not sure. "
"Oh, it seems like our Nanzhou is full of Yang energy. We need a female general to balance it out. I don't understand the strategy of the higher-ups."
"This is the foresight of a leader. You've guessed it. What's the point of having a leader? Ok, let's not talk about politics. Let's talk about my daughter-in-law. How is she adapting? "
Liu Zhankui frowned, "I don't have much contact with her. But she's usually quiet and low-key."
Speaking of family matters, Liu Keming put down his attitude and sighed, "What sin did I commit to have such a daughter-in-law. Sigh!"
Liu Zhankui quickly comforted, "Department Head Gong, I think it's better to get a divorce. Shao Feng is still young. It won't be a problem to find another."
"You think I don't want to? The key is that Shao Feng can't. I don't know why, but he's infatuated with Ying Xue. I've tried to persuade him countless times, but he won't leave. I told him last time, but he slammed the door and left without a word. Before he left, he even said that if he brought it up again, he wouldn't come home anymore. "
Liu Zhankui paused for a moment, "What is Ying Xue thinking?"
"Who knows? Ever since she got married, she's been half dead. She said she'd get better after a while, but she's still like this after three to four years. That woman is too hot-tempered. She kept saying she wants to go to the grassroots level and even asked to go to Long 'an County. If I don't listen to her, I'll have to watch the family fall apart. So, I can only agree. "
"It's because we don't have children. If we have children, everything will be solved."
"Sigh!"
