I said, "are you going now?"

"Yes, I happened to see you on the way out of the city. I thought you had something to worry about. If you want to come here and jump into the sea, I'll stop and have a look at you." Li Shun said.

I said, "no, I just came here to get some air."

"Why do you want to come here for air? Is there something you can't think of? Is it something you have encountered?" Li Shun said.

I shook my head: "No."

"If not." Li Shun looked at me and kept silent for a while. He said, "when you are in Xinghai, you should pay more attention to your health and safety. I'm going south today. I'm afraid it will be a long time. You should take good care of yourself."

I nodded, "I will."

"I've arranged for the island. If the island is really ownerless, I've arranged for my other friends to buy the island. It will be very secret. No one knows that I bought it except you and Lao Qin.

"After the procedures are completed, someone will go to the island for some preliminary basic development and decoration. In the name of being the activity base of the fishing association, Bai Laosan will not doubt You just know about it. You don't need to participate. When the development and construction are finished, you can go to guide and inspect it. " Li Shun said.

I nodded.

"This island, I think, is called Jinyin island. Although only a box of pebbles has been found on the island, it will become our headquarters for making a fortune and our headquarters for collecting gold and silver. What do you think of this name?" Li Shun added.

Li Shun is very good at naming. There is a large amount of mysterious treasure on this island, but he doesn't know it.

Treasure Island is a good name.

I said: "OK, the name is just a code, no matter how!"

Li Shun looked at me deeply: "after I leave, take good care of Xiaoxue and Qiutong."

"I will."

"My parents, when something happens, you should take care of it." Li Shun added.

I nodded again: "OK."

"That's the character of the old lady. Sometimes she talks very impulsively. You should try to forgive her as much as possible." Li Shun said.

I laughed: "no problem."

"The old man likes to fish. If he has nothing to do, he will fish by the sea to pass the time. Don't you often go to chat with him when you have nothing to do, and continue to maintain this fine tradition in the future. " Li Shun said.

It seems that Li Shun knows what I often chat with Lao Li, and it's obviously Lao Li who told him.

I don't know whether Lao Li knows about Li Shun's return, or whether Li Shun has gone home to see his parents this time.

"Well..."

"Ah I'm afraid this fishing rod will be the only way to pass the time. " Li Shun sighed.

I didn't say a word.

"He's fishing by the sea now." Li Shun added.

My heart moved, but I still didn't speak.

"Silence, silence, just be silent. If you don't want to talk to me more, I'll leave." With that, Li Shun waved his hand and got on the police car with Lao Qin. Then the car started and left.

Watching Li Shun leave, I breathed a deep breath. Li Shun is very good at finding a way to drive a police car into ningzhou. No one will check, and no one will know that he has arrived in ningzhou.

Seeing Li Shun leave, I suddenly feel a sense of sadness and sadness that the brave man of Yishui is gone.

Thinking of what Li Shun said before he left, I got on the bus and drove directly to the place where Lao Li was fishing. There was no one around. It was very quiet. Except for the sound of sea breeze and waves, Lao Li was sitting quietly fishing.

I stopped and quietly walked past, standing behind Lao Li.

"Here you are." Lao Li didn't look back.

"Well..." I said, "it's getting cold. It's windy by the sea. Put on more clothes."

"I'm ok with my bones, no problem!" Lao Li said, "sit down."

Lao Li also had an empty Mazar beside him, which seemed to be specially prepared for me. I sat down and watched the sea.

"What? It doesn't seem to be in a high mood today? " Lao Li said.

"Uncle Li, why do you think the officialdom is so tired and the struggle is so complicated?" I came up with a sentence.

"Why do you suddenly think of asking this?" Lao Li turned to look at me.

"What you've seen and heard." I said, "our group has another accident today." Then I gave a brief account of what happened today and said, "in fact, I know it's a conspiracy, but I can't get any evidence to prove it. I can only guess."

"If I didn't expect that, sun dongkai began to move out, and this strategy is correct, that is, to settle the internal affairs first and then fight the external affairs." Lao Li nodded: "it seems that the chief editor will be hit hard this time. He will lose the qualification to compete with sun dongkai."

"Disqualification is not the main thing. Originally, even if there was no such thing, the editor in chief had little chance to defeat sun dongkai. However, this time, the editor in chief is not disqualified. It is likely that he will lose a lot. What he will lose is not only his qualification for competition, but also his job or demotion." I said: "the editor in chief is actually a nerd. He doesn't understand the mentality of officialdom. He's not a bad person. I'm really upset to see him encounter such disasters.""Xiaoyi, you have a big heart of love, but you can't save the world, even the people and things around you." Lao Li said: "I've dealt with the chief editor you said. The biggest tragedy of this man is that he doesn't change to officialdom. He's really a scholar and a writer. He doesn't know the tricks of officialdom. It's really hard for a man who doesn't know the tricks of officialdom to mix in officialdom. "

I said, "what tricks do you need in this officialdom?"

"I'm a failed politician. I'm not qualified to say that." Lao Li said self mockingly.

"Li Shun, don't say that about yourself. Frustration or failure doesn't necessarily mean that you don't understand. Or, after frustration and failure, you have a better understanding of some things in officialdom." I said.

"Ha ha, you are very good at comforting me." Lao Li smiles.

"Uncle Li, what kind of tricks do you need for officialdom?" I said.

"There are a lot of tricks in officialdom, such as the knack of dealing with affairs, the knack of communication, the knack of employing people, the knack of top-down What do you want to hear? " Lao Li looked at me, put down the fishing rod in his hand, and stretched out his hand to me: "a cigarette."

I took out a cigarette and handed it to Lao Li. Then I lit it for him. I also lit one myself and took two puffs. I said, "it's fundamental to employ people in all things. Naturally, I want to hear the tips of employing people."

"The knack of using people." Lao Li took a deep breath and said, "first tell me what you think?"

I thought about it: "I often hear and see leaders in newspapers and TV solemnly preach on various occasions that our cadre line is to appoint people on their merits, not on their own."

Lao Li smiles: "is that all?"

I nodded.

Lao Li said, "your understanding is very simple. Let's put it this way. In the way of employing people in officialdom, not only can we not get ahead in appointing people on the basis of merit, but we should also get behind in appointing people on the basis of cronyism. "

This sentence is unusual, so I quickly asked: "how to see?"

As is often sung in the play, the old Mr. Li said without hesitation: "listen to me slowly - the first one in the list is" let others be the best ". That is to say, you should understand the intention of the superior, and you can arrange whoever the superior asks you to arrange. Otherwise, if the superior is not happy, your position will be unstable, let alone want to continue to improve. "

"Well, it makes sense. Is it time to be cronyist or meritocratic? " I asked.

"It's still not in line." Lao Li said: "the second one is" Ren Ren Ren bang. ". Nowadays, the situation of officialdom is complicated and the struggle is white hot. On the surface, you are good to me and everyone is friendly. In fact, you are all making trouble below. If you're alone in the officialdom and don't get a few like-minded friends to help you around, you can't do anything you want. Not only can you't do anything, you can't even sit in this position for a long time, and you'll soon be robbed. "

Oh - I suddenly realized that I would stop interrupting and let him go on.

"The third step is to make sure that the top is well marked, and then the front, back, left and right people are well placed. That is" appointing people for money. ". Why? Because "money" is more important than "pro", after all, "pro" is someone else, and "money" goes into one's own pocket. " Lao Li continued: "the fourth one in the list is" let people only shoot. ". When the official position is stable and the money is earned, it's time to get a few flatterers around to enjoy themselves. Chen Yi has said: who does not love flattery, eulogizing the ear fairy music.

"Don't look down on flattery. It's a science. No one wants to flatter you well. If you can't get it on the horse's hooves, it's disgusting. But if the shooting is good and the level is high, the people who are being photographed will have a lot of fun. Let me tell you, it's like smoking a lot, addictive

After listening to Lao Li's words, I suddenly felt enlightened.

At this point, Lao Li looked at me with a smile.

I said: "well, when you are an official, you also use people in this way?"

Lao Li was embarrassed and said: "these are the general trends of officialdom. Sometimes, you have to go with the tide in officialdom. If you can't do this, your position will be unstable. You know, you have subordinates below you, but you have leaders above you. Unless you are the president of the state, you will always be the one in the middle .

"If you take a good picture of the superior, it's about politics. If you take a good line at the upper level and win over the lower level, it's about being able to use people and win the hearts of the people. A leader who can't get the support of his subordinates can't have a long position. If you want to stay in a stable position, you can't just rely on the position to bluff people, but also give the subordinates a certain advantage. It's just like the big brother can't develop without the big brother. There are people in officialdom. It's really a question from a university.

"As for me, I try my best to employ only the virtuous. However, I have to take into account a lot of relationships and things at different levels. Many subordinates don't look very good at ordinary times. They don't show mountains and water, but maybe they will have some relationship with seven aunts and eight aunts. Therefore, we should be very careful in employing people. If we don't do it well, we will offend our superiors and lose our jobs. "

I nodded: "it's not easy to be a leader.""It's not easy to do anything these days. Especially officialdom, the risk is greater. " Lao Li said: "many people only see the power and money of officials, but they don't see the place where they are walking on thin ice. They all have their own difficulties. As for the chief editor of your group, he is a typical person who can't use people. At least he doesn't use the people who are in charge of his own system well, and he doesn't set up his own team. He can't see anything at ordinary times, but he can see it at the critical moment. This time, he was plotted behind the scenes. It is very likely that he is the black hand of his subordinates. "

"Yes, it is." I said.

"You're so sure, can you show me the evidence?" Lao Li said.

I shook my head: "it's my own analysis and judgment, I have no evidence!"

"Here it is." Lao Li said, "it's called dumb loser. Many nerd officials will make a common fault, that is, they don't know the knack of mixing officialdom, because as long as they do their own work like old cattle, they think that the eyes of leaders are bright and fair, and they think that as long as they work hard, they will be appreciated by leaders. This is OK in private enterprises, but it won't work in officialdom. "

I pondered for a while, looking at Lao Li: "Uncle Li, do you think there is any way to save the current situation?"
