"The reality of officialdom is that I want you to recognize the reality through your practice Learn to think dialectically about officialdom. " Lao Li nodded.

"How do you know I'm going to be in these two situations?" I said.

"I won't pinch or count, but I believe it's inevitable that you will encounter such a situation sooner or later." Lao Li said: "as for you want to stop now, I don't make any comments. It's your business. You decide for yourself."

"Stop, I don't want to do this kind of business Let it be. " I said: "this kind of money, earn too tired, or earn your group's money to be at ease."

"Ha ha..." Lao Li laughed: "in fact, I feel that you really have a way of doing business. There are so many ghost ideas. You can get through as soon as you dial. Sometimes, you don't need to dial at all."

"I may not be able to do anything else. I still have a way to do business." Lao Li's praise made me feel proud and blurted out: "I think my company was..."

At this point, I suddenly stopped talking.

Lao Li looked at me in an unexpected way: "Oh, also Think back to that time Do you have a company? "

When I grin, I smile.

"Boy, it seems that you used to be a bull." Lao Li said with a smile.

As soon as I saw Lao Li's eyes, I knew I couldn't hide him. I nodded honestly: "indeed, brother, I used to be a bull I once had my own foreign trade company in ningzhou, but when the financial crisis came, I ended up and went bankrupt

"That's why you've been hit, sunk and depressed, so you've come here to work, haven't you?" Lao Li said.

"Basically..." I said.

"Well It turns out that my little friend is also the boss of Zhejiang merchants who once had a good reputation... " Lao Li nodded: "I've known for a long time that you are a man with a story You have some stories, it seems

"Heroes don't mention their bravery, the past is over Now, I have no chance to start my own company again I'm going to be in this official business. " I say, can't help a little lost.

"Just because you don't have a chance to start a company doesn't mean you don't have a chance to realize your dream of a comeback You can fully realize your ambition through Haizhu's company. It's just a different way. " Lao Li said.

Lao Li's words are the same as those of Qiu Tong that day.

"You don't participate in it in person, but you can operate behind the scenes and give advice behind the scenes. When Haizhu's company grows, it can also give you a sense of achievement to make a comeback." Lao Li continued: "just like me, when I handed over the group to summer, the development of the group at that time was not as big as it is now. However, when summer is well done, I have the same sense of achievement. I can be an adviser to summer and a guide to summer. Summer is my son. When he is well done, the group is growing and my sense of achievement is also very strong It is not necessarily necessary to be on the front line to make contributions. "

I nodded: "well Maybe what you said is reasonable. At present, for me, that's the only way. "

"In the workplace, you have a tumble, which is an inevitable way for a person to grow up. It's hard for a person who hasn't tumbled to achieve great things. It's the same for the workplace, and it's the same for officialdom You are just a rookie in officialdom now. In the future, you will definitely fall somersault. Moreover, you will fall more than one somersault. Sometimes, you will fall miserably Now you have to have a clear understanding and clear mental preparation for this. "

"Well..." I nodded.

"In officialdom, we should learn to adapt ourselves to the changing reality, and learn to change ourselves. The most taboo thing in officialdom is to go to the black road and bump our head against the south wall without looking back." Said Lao Li.

I look at Lao Li and I don't understand.

"I'll tell you a story." Lao Li said.

I nodded.

"An official in Beijing had a meal with the boss in Shanxi. After drinking, an official said boldly: if you give me a million, there is nothing impossible in Beijing. After listening to the coal boss whispered: brother, give you a hundred million, can you change the picture of Tiananmen City upstairs to my father's? The official said: OK, I promise to finish it in a week. A week later, when the coal boss went to Beijing, he still saw the picture of Chairman Mao on Tiananmen Square, so he went to the officials for a refund. Officials said the mission could not be withdrawn. The coal boss angrily said that the picture of Lao Mao on Tiananmen Square was not his father. Official: it's your father. I'll find out when I go back to check my household registration. The coal boss has no choice but to go home to check his household registration and see that his name has been changed to: Mao anying. "

"Fuck -" I couldn't help laughing.

Lao Li didn't smile: "man, what does that mean?"

"What does it mean?"

"When you change your mind, you can't change the overall situation, but you can change yourself!" Laoli language said with a long focus: "natural selection, survival of the fittest, where this principle is always applicable."

I had an epiphany, I couldn't help thinking.

Lao Li was silent for a moment, and then said: "with the change of your current status and position, the people and things you come into contact with in the group will be greatly different from before. In the past, you were not a person in the system, but now, you are a deputy section level cadre and a deputy middle-level cadre in the group, and those senior executives and middle-level cadres in the group who did not pay attention to you before The attitude to you will change, the contact will be close, and of course, what you can hear, see and experience will be very different from before. "I nodded: "well..."

Every time I chat with Lao Li, I can get something. This guy has a lot of things in his stomach and more in his mind.

I realized that he was quietly guiding me, training me, leading me to a realm and situation that I had never reached before.

If the godfather of Li Shun's gangsters is wood, it seems that my godfather of officialdom should be Lao Li.

Of course, old Li Qiutong and many other officials around him will also give me a lot of inspiration and guidance.

The last paragraph of Lao Li's speech that day was really good. Since I changed my identity, the attitude of the group department heads who looked down at me had changed a lot. They spoke politely and enthusiastically, and there were more wine shops. They would invite me to drink, sing and chat when I had nothing to do.

There are more wine shops and more words. All kinds of "Secret Histories" of the high-level and middle-level members of the group that I have never heard of before have entered my ears one after another.

Unconsciously, Cao Li's past was summed up by me after chatting on various occasions.

It turns out that Cao Li didn't work in the group at the beginning. Before that, she worked in the newspaper of Shizhong District. It was a tabloid, which opened on Wednesday and Thursday. It belonged to a fully funded institution directly under the Party committee of Shizhong District. Later, the state and the province rectified the order of publication and distribution of newspapers and periodicals. Shizhong District newspaper was abolished, and the whole staff of the newspaper office was transferred to Xinghai media group. Now several middle-level members of the group are her former colleagues.

As for how Cao Li entered the district newspaper, there is an intriguing story. From this story, we can see Cao Li's style of life and work, and the hidden rules of officialdom.

The story is told in a third person way.

The process of Cao Li entering the district newspaper can be described in two words: Jiasai.

Jiasai is a common phenomenon in officialdom, and Cao Li is a model of practice.

She not only likes to be stuffed, but also likes to take the initiative.

The case of Caoli Kasai dates back to the beginning of this century.

Through all kinds of efforts, Shizhong District newspaper was finally established as a serious institution with full funding. Before the editorial board office officially came down, all the princes called the head of the Propaganda Department of Shizhong District Party committee and the editor in chief of the newspaper to ask for the attention of his seven aunts and eight aunts. Every time the boss receives such a call, he always laughs and responds vaguely to such jargon as "it depends on the situation", "I'll talk about it later", "it's not settled yet, it's hard to say", "I'm powerless".

There was only one phone call. The editor in chief didn't dare to ignore it. It was from the Secretary of the CPC Central Committee. It turned out that the daughter of an old friend of the Secretary of the district Party committee was in a self-supporting unit and wanted to be transferred to the financial allocation unit. She was well-informed and knew that the district newspaper would be established soon, so she found the Secretary of the district Party committee. The daughter of an old friend, the Secretary of the district Party committee, had no reason not to help. She immediately called the editor in chief's office in her busy schedule and asked the editor in chief to consider it.

The daughter of an old friend of the Secretary of the district Party committee is Cao Li.

Of course, the chief editor knows what the Secretary of the district Party committee means by considering. In fact, he has been considering it for a long time. It turns out that Cao Li has a good understanding of the editor in chief for a long time. When the editor in chief's mobile phone is broken, she "borrows" the mobile phone to the editor in chief for "temporary use". She also thinks that the editor in chief is the godfather and daughter of her own family. It's only because of the other two deputy editors of the newspaper, it's not easy to operate openly. Now with the Secretary of the district Party committee speaking, there is one more subordinate who obeys the superior As a result, he was able to handle the matter with a strong sense of reason.

According to the regulations on the stage at that time, all institutions were required to enroll in public examinations. How to bypass this barrier and let Cao Li enter smoothly? The editor in chief has put a lot of thought into this.

At a meeting of the party leading group to study personnel work, the chief editor raised the issue of recruitment of newspapers. Please have a discussion. Before the comrades spoke, the editor in chief said this: the newspaper office has been established, but it is still an empty shell. There is no one. This is a problem. People should do everything. Ms. Cao Li of a certain unit, who has just been separated from the government, is temporarily assigned to a self-supporting unit. According to the original separation scheme, the arrangement for her is temporary. It said that when the conditions are ripe, she should be placed in a better unit, which is responsible for the reform and Cao Li himself. After the establishment of the newspaper, the Secretary of the district Party committee discussed with me whether she could be arranged to come to the newspaper. Comrades, to put it better is to discuss and to put it more formally. This is the task of the Party committee! Let's study this matter today and how to accomplish this political task?

The two deputy chief editors were not happy. One of the topics of this meeting was to discuss how to select talents and enrich the strength of the newspaper according to the principles of openness, equality, competition and selection of the best. As soon as the chief editor's words changed, it became how to complete the task of emplacement. Where will the people placed above be easy to use? Besides, Cao Li is a powerful character. She should be strong everywhere. Everyone is afraid of her. If an comes in, won't she lead a wolf into the house?
