Chapter 710

"The best way is that you can talk to the Secretary of the municipal Party committee. As soon as he opens his mouth, nothing will happen!" Lao Li said.

Lao Li's words made me feel a little frustrated. I said, "where can I talk to the Secretary of the municipal Party committee? He doesn't even know who I am."

"That's hard." Lao Li said: "it's the Secretary of the municipal Party committee who gets angry. In fact, no one is easy to talk Who's going to stand out for the nerd editor in chief

"However, the editor in chief is really a good man. I always think he is too miserable. I really can't bear to see his brilliant life end like this." I said gloomily.

"Xiaoyi, you are a very compassionate person." Lao Li said: "however, you can't live in officialdom because of your personality. Your kindness is easy to be used. Once used, you will die miserably."

"I know." "I said:" I can't mix officialdom, I'm only suitable for mixing in the workplace

"Ha ha, have you been hit by my words?" Lao Li said.

"No I said: "I just really sympathize with the editor in chief. I don't want to see a scholar end up so miserable."

Lao Li was silent for a while. After smoking a cigarette, he said, "I really don't have any good ideas."

I'm very upset.

"However," Lao Li continued, "if you really want to help the editor in chief, I think of someone who might be able to help you..."

"Who?" My eyes lit up and I looked at Lao Li.

"You know this man, and I know you very well!" Lao Li looked at me meaningfully.

"I know you? I'm familiar? Who is it? " I looked at Lao Li blankly.

"Lao Li - don't you know him very well?" Lao Li said.

I was surprised. How could Lao Li know that I knew Lao Li very well?

Looking at my surprise, Lao Li laughed: "Xiaoyi, do you think it's strange that I know you and Lao Li are very familiar?"

I nodded honestly.

"Don't forget that I am an old man who has been working in public security for decades." Lao Li said.

I said, "Uncle Li, did you follow me?"

Lao Li shook his head: "I don't need to follow you. Ha ha, well, I don't need to ask any more. I just need to know that I know you and Lao Li know each other."

I suddenly remembered that Lao Li had said before that I knew Lao Li and said, "you know Lao Li, don't you? Did he tell you about me? "

Lao Li laughed: "don't be so curious, young man. I know Lao Li. How do you know? "

"He mentioned you to me!" I said.

"Ha ha, Lao Li and I know each other, but we are not very familiar What else did Lao Li say about me in front of you? "

"Nothing else!" I said.

"Well..."

"What did you say to Lao Li I said.

"No," Lao Li said, "I ran into Lao Li a few days ago. He said casually that he had a little friend who forgot to make friends. I heard it was you But I didn't say much at that time, and he didn't say how I met you, or anything else about you. "

"Oh That's right. " I nodded: "well Do you know much about Lao Li? Who the hell is he? "

"Ha ha..." Lao Li laughed: "you and he are old friends. Do you need to ask me about this? I won't tell you anything."

"Well How can you say Lao Li can help? Does he have so much energy? " I said.

Lao Li said vaguely, "I said I can help you. How can I help you? Does he have a lot of energy? "

"I didn't say that. You mean..."

"Don't you think Lao Li is a resourceful man?" Lao Li said.

"Oh, you mean Lao Li can help me out?" I said.

"Ha ha, you know that." Lao Li said, "but when you look for Lao Li, don't say that I asked you to look for him."

"Why?"

"No why."

"Are you so sure Lao Li can give me good ideas?" I said.

"I think maybe Go and have a try. If you have dates, maybe it will work? " Lao Li's words are a little vague.

I was a little disappointed. Lao Li was not sure. He just asked me to have a try.

However, since Lao Li said so, and since Lao Li valued Lao Li's wisdom so much, I really want to try. Maybe, I'll go to a doctor in a hurry.

"Lao Li, how much do you know about him? What do you think of this man? " Lao Li looks at me.

"Understand I don't know much about his personal privacy. I only know that this guy has some family background, at least he is a millionaire. He was in business in his early years, and now he has retired to enjoy his life. As for this man's mind, I think we can't underestimate him. He is a man of great wisdom, with strong ability to analyze problems and rich experience. " I said."Oh That's all? " Lao Li said.

"Well That's all I said.

"Ha ha, this old man." Lao Li said to himself, and then said, "what you just said is quite right. This man is really a man of great wisdom That's why I asked you to go to him and make up your mind. "

I looked at Lao Li: "it seems that you feel inferior in front of him?"

Lao Li said: "it's not just a shame, it's not at the same level This is the man of Da Yin. "

Lao Li spoke with a mysterious look, as if he was hiding something from me.

I said: "he is just a civilian. You are a senior cadre at the deputy department level. How can you say that?"

Lao Li said: "great wisdom has nothing to do with whether or not to be an official and how big an official he is The real masters are not necessarily in the officialdom. There are many folk masters... "

I laughed: "there is some truth in this."

Lao Li said: "when it comes to your editor in chief, he is actually very good at writing. He is quite suitable to be a freelance writer or writer. He has to work in this officialdom. It's really hard

"Maybe he didn't think it through, didn't understand the reason, and couldn't get away from worldly utility Perhaps this is the root cause of his tragic officialdom. "

"What essence, what taboo?" I said.

"You want to know?"

"Well I want to know. " I said.

"Being an official is not only a technical work, but also an art. The so-called essence and taboo is actually very simple to say, but it is not so easy to do." Lao Li said: "in officialdom, you have to control your curiosity and stubbornness. You can never pursue truth or explore the true nature of things. It's their business to let those self righteous intellectuals do such thankless things as exploring truth and the truth.

"Keep in mind the belief that what is good for you is right. If you really can't grasp it, it can be simplified as: what the superior leaders advocate and don't hinder you is correct We should learn to tell lies and be good at it. We should take telling lies as a habit, not as a career, and talk about the extent to which we believe.

"Prostitutes and officials are the most similar occupations, but officials sell their mouths, prostitutes sell their bodies. Remember, after being an official, your mouth only belongs to you at dinner. What you say and how you say it must be based on your needs. "

I looked at Lao Li with great interest.

"In officialdom, you have to have a diploma, but you can't really have knowledge. If you really have knowledge, it will hinder you from being an official." Lao Li said again.

"Why? Are not all leading cadres required to be knowledgeable now? " I said.

"That's a fool." Lao Li said, "don't you know that the more knowledge you have, the more reactionary you are? With knowledge, you will think independently, and independent thinking is a taboo in China's politics. Although the current leaders are all masters and doctors, they are all fake.

"Some people go to apply for civil servants when they graduate from a doctor's degree. That's because he didn't want to study knowledge from the day he was studying. He must be an ignorant and unskilled person who can't get along with his major. Remember, Dr. Zhen disdains to be an official, and he will never be an official or a good official. "

I nodded.

Lao Li looked at me again: "Xiaoyi, I ask you, what do you think is the purpose of being an official?"

I thought about it: "Gao Shangdi said that it is to serve the people, but in reality, it is to be promoted."

Lao Li said: "wrong, remember, the fundamental purpose of being an official is two words: interests!"

"Oh..."

"In officialdom, we must tirelessly seize all kinds of interests. Although the common people call it corruption, there are 99 officials. However, it is not reasonable to regard this as a 99% problem. You should not only take seizing all kinds of interests as the purpose of being an official, but also as the only purpose.

"You must always think: your leaders try every means to promote you because you can bring benefits to them; your subordinates are willing to obey you because you can bring benefits to them; your colleagues and friends around you always take care of you because you can bring benefits to them. For some ill gotten gains, if you find out your conscience, you can also not, but you must give them to others. Remember, once the first mock exam is vague or abandoned, you are not far away from failure.

I was stunned and felt that Lao Li's logic seemed to be teaching me a negative lesson.

"Xiaoyi, what do you think is the first thing to be an official?" Lao Li asked me again.

"Employing people!" I answered without hesitation.

"Wrong --" Lao Li said: "it's to be a man. As an official, you must put the ability to be a man in the first place, and then consider doing things."

"Why?"

"Don't misunderstand it as having both ability and political integrity. Here, to be a man is to be in a relationship. It doesn't matter whether work is practical work or not. To be a good person is to weave yourself as a point into the network of relationships up, down, left and right, and become a part of the network, preferably the very important part."Remember, to say who has strong working ability now is not to say that he has strong working ability at all, but to mean that he has strong ability to be a person. If you think about it carefully, look at the people around you and see how many of them have a good life when they regard ability as ability to do things

I suddenly think of Qiu Tong, think of Cao Li, can't help nodding.

"What kind of thinking do you think you should use to treat people and things as an official?" Lao Li asked me again.

"Think like a public servant!" I answered.

"Wrong again." Lao Li said, "we should treat all things and people in the way that farmers think."

"To treat people and things with the thinking of farmers?" I'm confused.

"Yes." Lao Li nodded: "no matter how the appearance of our society changes, its essence is a peasant society. Whoever caters to the farmers will succeed. People around us, no matter what they look like, are farmers at heart. Farmers are short-sighted and pay attention to immediate interests. So the way you do things must have the characteristics of farmers, short-term benefits and shortsightedness.

"Once you take a long view, you will not belong to this group, and the consequences can be imagined. If you live among a group of peasants, you should learn more about feudalism, such as worshiping brothers. You should never reject this as vulgar behavior. It's not too much. "

I nodded my head, convinced that Lao Li did have a way.

"What is the most difficult art to master as an official?" Lao Li asked me again.

"Well, I don't know." I said.

"Flattery." Lao Li said faintly.
