In the officialdom, besides the degree that was hard to grasp, people and things were often the most difficult to grasp. When Ma Yingjie was a secretary, every time a leader or someone from the bureau came to ask Luo Tianyun to do something for them and needed Ma Yingjie to make an appointment with Luo Tianyun for them, they would always give him some small favors, such as a shopping card worth a few hundred yuan, or a pack of cigarettes. Ma Yingjie was very familiar with these unwritten rules. As for the things that could be accepted, Luo Tianyun also tacitly allowed Ma Yingjie to accept them. As the saying goes, "When the water is too clear, there will be no fish." If one was too incorruptible in the officialdom, not to mention making friends, it would be difficult for him to do anything. Even if it was Luo Tianyun's position, it was still very difficult for him. As for the things that were shared, if they were not handled well and dragged on for ten days or half a month, what could you do to them? There were a lot of people who did not do anything in the officialdom. And compared to those who dared to do something, those who did not do something were safer. Once a person did something, something would definitely happen. Once something happened, no one could guarantee that they could not be completely right. Moreover, it was really hard to distinguish right from wrong in the officialdom.
Take the matter of the First Cement Factory blocking the national highway for example. It was clearly planned by them to make Ma Yingjie look bad, but in the end, they let Li Xiaomei be the scapegoat and asked Jiang Chaoqun to take her to do some self-reflection. In the eyes of Meng Chenglin and Su Xiaoyang, the wrong thing was made as bright as the sun.
Ma Yingjie could not accept Meng Chenglin's way. As the secretary of Wu Du, how could he always be controlled by people like Su Xiaoyang? On this point, Ma Yingjie was still willing to follow Luo Tianyun. The influence of Luo Tianyun's positive energy was far greater than that of Meng Chenglin's, and Ma Yingjie thought that Luo Tianyun's personality was much more charming than Meng Chenglin's.
When Ma Yingjie first became the secretary, there was one time when Luo Tianyun asked Ma Yingjie to send a document to Meng Chenglin to sign. In advance, Luo Tianyun called Meng Chenglin, but when Ma Yingjie went to the office, the door was closed. Ma Yingjie knocked, but Meng Chenglin did not open the door. The next morning, Meng Chenglin called and said that he was waiting for the document in the afternoon. Why didn't he send it?
At that time, Luo Tianyun looked at Ma Yingjie in confusion. Ma Yingjie quickly picked up the document and ran to Meng Chenglin's office. Later, when Luo Tianyun asked about this, Ma Yingjie explained that when he went to send the document in the afternoon, Meng Chenglin did not open the door. He knocked for a long time, but no one answered. But he knew that Meng Chenglin was in the office. Because of this, Luo Tianyun started to guard against Meng Chenglin, and he also started to believe that Ma Yingjie would not lie about this.
The reason why Meng Chenglin did this, firstly, was to give Luo Tianyun a show of strength. The more Luo Tianyun was in a hurry to sign the document, the more he wanted to delay it. Secondly, he deliberately made things difficult for Ma Yingjie, to provoke the conflict between Luo Tianyun and Ma Yingjie. After all, Ma Yingjie was the person personally chosen by Luo Tianyun.
From then on, Ma Yingjie became extra careful about many things. There were too many hidden rocks in the officialdom. If he was not careful, he could easily run into all kinds of hidden rules. And these hidden rules were not something that Ma Yingjie could afford to play with.
Ever since Ma Yingjie became Luo Tianyun's secretary, he silently remembered every move of Luo Tianyun's in his heart. He always reminded himself that if Luo Tianyun did things in a systematic way, a gun would be a gun, a sword would be a sword, and he would not accidentally hurt others or himself. Luo Tianyun paid attention to what he should and should not pay attention to in his work. Although he had not been in Wu Du for a long time, he had done a few good things, especially the building of Wu Du Residence, which made Luo Tianyun's reputation in Wu Du County become higher and higher. But the more Luo Tianyun did things, the more uncomfortable Meng Chenglin felt. No powerful secretary would want the mayor's limelight to be overshadowed by him.
Now that Ma Yingjie had returned to Qin County, and Jiang Chaoqun was also a powerful secretary like Meng Chenglin, would Cao Wuwen do things in a systematic way like Luo Tianyun? If that wasn't the case, Ma Yingjie would face even greater resistance in Qin County, and he would definitely encounter even more hidden rules.
"Even a wise man can make a mistake." Who could guarantee that he would not make a mistake in his life? Even great men were limited by their environment. Ma Yingjie remembered a joke he saw on the Internet. It went like this: Emperor Qin, aren't you awesome? Do you know what a phone is? Li Shiming, aren't you good at fighting? Do you know what a phone is? Liu Bang, aren't you famous? Do you know what a touch screen is? Zhu Yuanzhang, aren't you awesome? Do you know what the King of Fighters is? Qianlong, didn't you write 40,000 poems? Do you know what an e-book is? Mao Zedong, aren't you a great man? Do you know what a great man is?
This joke was enough to prove that the great men of all dynasties and generations could only create miracles and greatness in the environment at that time. If they left the environment at that time, they would still be great.
Ma Yingjie liked reading and summarizing. Luo Tianyun had always been steady and meticulous. Who would have thought that as soon as he returned to his hometown, he would encounter such misfortune? Furthermore, he had been humiliated so badly that even Luo Tianyun had lost face?
The more Luo Tianyun cared about Ma Yingjie, the more Ma Yingjie would reflect on himself and feel guilty. He wanted to make a difference when he returned to Qin County. He wanted to do something down-to-earth and serve the people for once.
Ma Yingjie really thought so. He didn't want to show off at all. Although in the current bureaucracy, if someone said he wanted to serve the people, he would definitely be laughed at. But deep down, he really wanted to do his part for Qin County.
It was one thing to want to do his best, but it was another thing to be able to do his best. This time, Ma Yingjie finally understood. Being impulsive would not do a good job at the grassroots level. And the consequences of being impulsive would be the sacrifice of more innocent people.
Now, Li Xiaomei was brought to Wu Du by Jiang Chaoqun. Was Meng Chenglin really going to continue this act?
When Li Xiaomei rushed to the County Government Compound, Jiang Chaoqun was already waiting for her in the car. Li Xiaomei quickly ran to Jiang Chaoqun's car. Jiang Chaoqun was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed. Li Xiaomei was stunned. She didn't know if she should inform Jiang Chaoqun and go to the City Government for a self-reflection. It was her fault, but she was late. She made the Secretary wait for her. Li Xiaomei swallowed the words she wanted to say when she saw Jiang Chaoqun's eyes closed. She opened the door of the deputy seat. Just as she stepped in, Jiang Chaoqun said, "Director Li, are you afraid of me?"
Li Xiaomei's face turned red. She hurriedly explained, "I saw Secretary Jiang sleeping. I didn't want to wake you up, so I didn't dare to say hello to him."
"Come and sit in the back. I have something to say." Jiang Chaoqun said in a business-like tone. Li Xiaomei didn't know what to say. She closed the front door, opened the back door, and sat next to Jiang Chaoqun. Li Xiaomei deliberately kept a distance from Jiang Chaoqun. Jiang Chaoqun didn't move closer to her. Instead, he asked Li Xiaomei, "Deputy Mayor Ma said that you can solve the problem of the dust collection equipment of the No.1 Cement Factory in ten days?"
"That's fast news." Li Xiaomei said in her heart. But she still said honestly, "Yes, the villagers have been making trouble. County Mayor Ma just wants to appease them."
"Tell me, how do you plan to deal with what happened in the past two days? When we go to the city, if Secretary Meng asks about it, how do you think you should answer? "Jiang Chaoqun changed the topic, but he kicked the ball to Li Xiaomei.
"Secretary Jiang, Deputy Mayor Ma said that he wants to install a dust collection equipment in the No.1 Cement Factory. You know that this equipment costs more than a million yuan. Do you think the county should support him first, install the equipment, and then let CEO Qin pay the money back in installments?" Li Xiaomei asked Jiang Chaoqun tentatively.
"Is this how Deputy Mayor Ma solves the problem? Let the county pay a million yuan for the dust collection equipment? "Jiang Chaoqun squinted at Li Xiaomei and asked.
Li Xiaomei didn't know what Jiang Chaoqun meant, so she nodded and said, "Yes."
"Humph." Jiang Chaoqun snorted coldly through his nostrils. Li Xiaomei didn't dare to speak again. She turned her body and looked out of the window. Outside the window, the smoke of the Field Villa was blowing away like a mountain and overturning the sea. It was so fast that she couldn't catch anything.
Li Xiaomei felt sad again. Yes, Qin Wangxi was rich, but he didn't have the money to buy a set of environmental protection equipment. If he didn't care about protecting the environment, what about Jiang Chaoqun? Didn't he know that Qin Wangxi was making money for the next generation? Was he drawing the wealth that belonged to the next generation in advance? But the wealth was more and more concentrated in the hands of people like Qin Wangxi. The land he bought, the houses he built, which one of them wasn't approved by Jiang Chaoqun? Li Xiaomei was angry, but she didn't dare to say anything.
Silence rolled in the car. Li Xiaomei felt depressed, but she only pretended to look at the scenery. She didn't dare to call Ma Yingjie or send him a message. She just let the heavy pressure hit her.
"You don't know how expensive daily necessities are. As long as the door of the county government is open, which one doesn't need money? The finance is in a tight period, and the teachers' salaries have been delayed for several months. I'm worried that if we don't solve it, the teachers will rebel. Let alone give you one million, if anyone is willing to lend me one million now, I'm willing to call him my father. You think it's easy for me to be the secretary, and you all come to me for money. I'm not a money-making machine, and I can print money easily. You're the County Magistrate, but you push everything to me. It's not like you don't know that this is the government's business, but in the end, I have to solve it all. It's hard. " Jiang Chaoqun complained in front of Li Xiaomei, but Li Xiaomei could only listen. She was familiar with the role of the secretary. When Ren Zhiqiang was in office, although he liked money, Li Xiaomei never heard him complain or complain. The teachers' salaries were never delayed. He said that some money could be taken, and some money must not be touched. But he still fell into it.
