No one spoke inside. After a while, someone opened the door and said gently to the two of them, "Come in."
This person was Song Chaoyang, the new Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Qingyang City. Li Rui had seen him at the meeting yesterday. He was in his forties and had a medium build. He was neither fat nor thin. He looked gentle and scholarly. At first glance, he looked like a professor in an advanced college. No one would have thought that he was the biggest leader in charge of Green Sun City. What was even more incredible was that the Secretary had personally opened the door for them. Li Rui felt that he was really honored.
Du Minsheng led Li Rui into the house. Li Rui was not completely dumbfounded. He knew that he was the last one to enter and had to close the door.
Du Minsheng introduced him to Song Chaoyang, "Song Shuji, this is Li Rui." Song Chaoyang looked at Li Rui and nodded, "Well, not bad. You look energetic. Sit down, I'll chat with you. "Li Rui saw that Song Chaoyang did not sit, so he did not dare to sit down. He stood stiffly by the coffee table, his face burning.
Song Chaoyang walked around the coffee table to the head of the sofa and called him again. This time, he did not dare to be negligent and quickly sat down.
Du Minsheng took Song Chaoyang's thermos cup from his desk. He looked at the water in it and went to the water dispenser to refill it. He put it on the coffee table in front of Song Chaoyang.
Song Chaoyang said, "Well, Minsheng, you go do your work. I'll talk to Li Rui first." Du Minsheng said okay, opened the door and walked out.
After Du Minsheng left, Li Rui felt as if he had become an orphan. He sat on the sofa and felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles. It was as if he was walking on a dangerous cliff. His mind was dizzy and he did not dare to breathe loudly. He felt as if he was going to explode.
Song Chaoyang looked at him and laughed, "Li Rui, don't be nervous. We'll just chat casually. How can you talk when you're so nervous? "Li Rui said quickly," Okay, yes … I … I'm not nervous. " Song Chaoyang laughed and immediately changed the topic, "I'm sure Secretary Du has already told you why I asked you to come. What do you think?" Li Rui was so scared that he quickly stood up and said anxiously, "Song Shuji, I … you love me a lot, but I … I, Li Rui, know my place. To be honest, Song Shuji, I've just been transferred to the Second Department of the Secretary of the General Office for less than a month. I haven't completely adapted to the working environment. It's hard for me to even do my own job well, let alone be your secretary. I'm not worried about anything else, but I'm afraid that I'll delay your big plans in the future. If that happens, I won't be able to escape the blame even if I die ten thousand times. "Song Chaoyang heard him exaggerate and could not help but laugh," It's not as serious as you say. But it's rare that you can tell the truth right from the start. Come, sit down. Let's talk slowly. "
Li Rui sat back down in fear and trepidation. Half of his butt was on the seat, and he looked at him pitifully. His heart was as hot as a fire, and his body was as cold as an ice cave. He thought to himself, I'll have a lot to brag about in the future. I was once on the same level as the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.
Song Chaoyang said, "Little Li, I'll be straight with you. At first, Secretary Du didn't consider you. He sent me some resumes of the candidates. I looked at them and wasn't very satisfied. These people have been working in the Secretariat for a long time. It's reasonable to say that they should be very familiar with the work of secretaries. It should be very easy for me to handle. But I also thought that because they've been working in the office for too long, they've either become lazy and have become old foxes. It might not be easy to order them around, or they've been addicted to work for too long and have become old bookworms. They don't know the ways of the world. It's not good for them to work with me. "
Li Rui was secretly convinced. He mustered up his courage and said, "Secretary, you're right. Old people in any unit or company will have similar problems. If it's not solved well, it will be very troublesome. But old people also have their advantages. Even if they're not good, it's better to use them than … using a hothead like me, right? Hehe. " After saying the last two words with a smile, he nervously looked at Song Chaoyang's face. He hoped that he would use a good reason to convince him, but he was also worried that he would lose interest in him.
Song Chaoyang nodded and said, "Hothead, that's a good analogy. Uh, if you're comparing yourself to a hothead as a secretary, then I'm the new Secretary of the Provincial League Committee. Wouldn't I be considered a hothead among the Secretaries of the Municipal Party Committee? Hehe, we're in the same boat. " Li Rui hurriedly smiled and said, "That's different, that's different. You were the Secretary of the Tuan Province before, and you already have the standards of a provincial leader. You should be able to handle a small prefecture-level city with ease." Song Chaoyang smiled and shook his head, "You little Li, you flattered me before you even came. That's not good." Li Rui was shocked. He hurriedly stopped smiling and sat up straight.
Song Chaoyang explained, "Although the Secretary of the Tuan Province and the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee are both department level officials, there's still a big difference. Most of the work of the Provincial League Committee is just for show. If they don't produce results, they can't be blamed. But as the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, they're the parents of the land. After one term, if they don't produce results, how can they be proud? Because of this, as a hothead among the Secretaries of the Municipal Party Committee, after coming to Qingyang City, if I'm a yes-man, stingy, and choose some unmotivated and unmotivated helpers, then five years later, how am I going to answer to the six million people in Qingyang City? How am I going to repay the Provincial Party Committee for putting me in such an important position? Moreover, who will give me five years? Time and tide wait for no man! "
At this point, Song Chaoyang's tone was very serious. Although this was the first time Li Rui had met him and was not familiar with him, he could still feel the urgency in his heart to achieve success.
Song Chaoyang continued, "Besides, what's wrong with being a hothead? It's true that the lack of experience is his fatal weakness, but there are also many advantages. For example, he's young, hot-blooded, eager to learn, and motivated, right? As long as the overall direction of development is good, he can learn through work, improve through learning, and mature through improvement. A hothead will eventually become an outstanding talent. Don't you think so? "Li Rui repeatedly agreed.
Song Chaoyang continued, "Little Li, I didn't choose you randomly. I have my reasons. You're a graduate of Shannan University's Department of Politics. Needless to say, you have a good foundation in political theory. You're also a liberal arts student, so you're born with good writing skills, right? " Li Rui was just about to say something when Song Chaoyang continued, "You used to work in the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau's flood control office. I used to deal with people from the Provincial Flood Control Office, so I have a certain understanding of the flood control office. The flood control office is small but big, and the people in charge are the highest leaders of the local government. Usually, they play an important role in passing down orders and dispatching decisions. Their communication and coordination skills are especially strong. This kind of working environment is the best way to train talents. Anyway, compared to your work in the flood control office and being my secretary, the principle is the same. You usually have to pass down orders, give advice, and even do trivial work. The more complicated work will be done by the comrades in the office, so you don't have to worry about it. You just have to be a good assistant for me. Well, I've made it clear to you. This is the first time I've said so much to someone since I came to Qingyang. You might as well think about it. "After that, he picked up the teacup and drank two mouthfuls.
The leader served tea to send off the guest, but how could Li Rui pay attention to that now? After listening to these words, he felt that he could feel Song Chaoyang's kindness and trust in him from all the pores on his body. He only felt that his chest was warm and his blood was boiling. He sighed in his heart. He was just an ordinary staff in the Second Secretary Department. How could he be favored by the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, who invited him to sit together with him? Obviously, he was giving him a chance, but he still had to break it down and explain it to him. This … this was really the most glorious time in his 30 years of life. As the saying went, a gentleman would die for his bosom friend. Since he was so valued by him, even if he was asked to sacrifice his life for him, he would agree without hesitation, let alone be his secretary.
He stood up and said excitedly, "Song Shuji, you trust me so much. I … I won't say any more nonsense. Don't worry, I'll be your secretary wholeheartedly. From now on, I'll be your soldier. I'll fight wherever you want me to. You'll see how I perform. "
Seeing that he had convinced him, Song Chaoyang stood up with a smile and patted him on the shoulder. "Well, from now on, we'll fight for the country together. Do you have the confidence to change the old face of Qingyang with me? "
In the Secretary General's office, Du Minsheng looked at Li Rui, who was standing in front of him motionlessly, with mixed feelings in his heart. Where did this guy come from? How come I've never heard of him before? First, he attracted the attention of that person, who personally asked me to promote him to the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee. Then, after less than a month, Qingyang City changed, and he was favored by the new Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Now, he was promoted to the position of Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and the future First Secretary of the Qingyang City Municipal Party Committee. Before this, he was just an ordinary cadre in the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau. This guy's luck was too good! So good that even I, the First Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, was jealous of him. But, Song Chaoyang chose him, who had no experience as a secretary. Was he too reckless?
"I want to congratulate you first. Congratulations on being chosen by Song Shuji to be his secretary." Du Minsheng said sincerely.
Li Rui quickly said, "Thank you. Thank you, Secretary General."
"Just now, when you heard that you were going to be the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, you were very scared. In fact, this job is not as difficult as you think. Of course, it's not easy either. I think you just need to put your heart into it. Put your heart into learning, serving, and working hard. Don't underestimate the word 'heart.' Whether you put your heart into it or not, it's a completely different world, a completely different realm. Now, you may not understand this point, but I can tell you something more straightforward and practical. Only if you put your heart into it can you continue to work as a secretary. Otherwise, what Song Shuji gave you today, he'll take it away from you tomorrow and give it to someone else. "Du Minsheng taught him with good intentions.
