Chapter 12 The most important thing about being an official is building bridges
Ye Ming heard that Xu Fei asked him to talk to Li Runji and see if he could say hello to Director Xia and revoke his punishment. He remembered Team Leader Zou's warning before he came to the provincial capital, and smiled bitterly and said: "
Director Xu, at this point, I can only believe in one sentence: Good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds, and evil deeds will be rewarded with bad deeds. It’s not that I won’t repay you, but the time has not yet come! I am not a good old man who repays evil with kindness. I also want to be punished.
Tell Secretary Li the truth, let him tell Director Xia about Li Li's evil deeds, and bring Li Li, the beast in human skin, to justice. However, there are many issues involved: such as my female colleague
Reputation issues, civilized creation and image issues of our Xinleng County Bureau, etc. Therefore, I can only be dumb about this matter - I can't speak out, and I don't want to trouble any leaders."
Xu Fei heard that what he said made sense, so he stopped dwelling on this topic and started to enlighten him from another aspect: "Xiaoye, you have been working in the tax system for three or four years, and you are still just a small clerk.
.And based on your ability and level, you shouldn’t be in this state. Have you ever thought about the reason?”
Ye Ming shook his head and said: "I really haven't thought about it. I just live according to my own way of living. I never thought about pursuing anything deliberately, nor did I think about being an official or making a lot of money.
Therefore, I never go around the leader’s house, and I never try to flatter others—this is probably the main reason why I have not been promoted so far!”
Xu Fei looked at him with a slightly sympathetic look and said: "Brother, I admire your calmness and happy-go-lucky attitude towards life, and I also appreciate your uprightness and straightforward principles of doing things. However, now that you have entered the administrative agency, you will
You must find ways to make progress and get ahead. Otherwise, you will achieve nothing in your life - because in an organization, measuring whether a person is promising or successful in his career is neither how much work you do, how many tasks you complete, nor how much you earn.
Money, or how many honors you have received. Here, there is only one criterion for measuring a person's success: how big your official position is! Do you understand what I mean?"
Ye Ming nodded and said thoughtfully: "Director Xu, I understand all the things you said. But I just can't save my face to get close to the leader, and I can't let go of my pride to say those flattering and flattering words.
, and I don’t even want to go to the leader’s home to report my thoughts and pay New Year’s greetings!”
Xu Feida shook his head disapprovingly and said: "Brother, you have misunderstood, and your ideas are too extreme. I also do not agree with running to the leader's house when there is nothing to do, and I do not agree with the behavior of giving and receiving bribes, buying and selling officials.
. But let me tell you a truth: the way to be an official is to build bridges. If you want to get along in the officialdom, and if you want to show off, you must build various bridges. Among these bridges are money bridges.
Family bridge, classmate bridge, comrade-in-arms bridge, human relationship bridge... Through these official bridges, you can connect with your superiors, your superior's superiors, and all kinds of people who can help you in your career...
...For example now, I think Secretary Li of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is your official bridge. Through his bridge, you can reach Director Xia of the Provincial Bureau. And Director Xia is another bridge you built. Through him,
You can catch up with the leaders of your K City Local Taxation Bureau, the leaders of Xinleng County Bureau... After building such bridges one after another, as long as you walk along this bridge step by step, you will definitely achieve great success in your official career."
The reason why Xu Fei wants to criticize Ye Ming so earnestly is that firstly, he admires Ye Ming very much and feels that if he keeps working at the grassroots level, his talent will be wasted; secondly, he feels that Ye Ming is a very smart person and has a strong understanding.
, if you give him a little prodding, he will definitely draw inferences and find shortcuts for promotion in his official career.
Of course, the most important thing is that he discovered the huge "official bridge" value hidden in Ye Ming: he has now boarded the golden "Tongtian Bridge" of Deputy Secretary Li of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he can also borrow it
With his efforts, he built a bridge with Deputy Secretary Li and laid a solid foundation for his future promotion...
After Ye Ming listened to Xu Fei's eloquent remarks, he lowered his head and pondered for a while. Just when he was about to express his opinion, the cell phone in his trouser pocket suddenly started beeping.
He took out his cell phone and looked at the number. It was the cell phone number of Xia Chuchu, whom he had met at the door of the hospital two hours ago.
"Hey, is this Xiao Ye?"
On the phone, Xia Chuchu's Mandarin sounded particularly nice.
When Ye Ming heard the word "Xiao Ye", he suppressed his laughter and replied seriously: "Hello, Miss Xia. I am Xiao Ye. Do you have anything to do with me?"
"It's like this: After I came out of the hospital, I called the leaders of our station and told them about your situation. They agreed with my idea and asked me to invite you to our last show. Let's do this: Today
I’ll treat you to dinner tonight, and we’ll discuss in detail about your appearance on the show. How about that?”
Ye Ming was shocked when she heard that she wanted to treat him to dinner: If he went to dinner with her, it would be terrible if she got to the bottom of it and asked for his real name...
Therefore, he instinctively refused: "Miss Xia, I'm sorry, I have something to do tonight and I really don't have time. I'm sorry!"
"Eh? Are you so busy? Are you so busy that you don't even have dinner? I won't waste a lot of your time, I just want to have a meal!"
Ye Ming didn't want to get entangled with her anymore, so he hurriedly said, "I'm really sorry, I have an appointment with my friend for dinner." and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Xu Fei asked casually: "Xiaoye, is your classmate inviting you to dinner? I'll treat you to dinner at the Hunan restaurant opposite tonight. We'll have a drink then and have an in-depth chat."
Ye Ming smiled and said: "Not my classmate. This is a bit funny: I just came out of the hospital and met Xia Chuchu, the host of the provincial TV station's 'Romantic Hands' program, at the door. She insisted that I fit her profile.
The female guest's condition was that I should appear on her dating show, but I didn't agree to her request at the time. Now that she's inviting me to dinner, it's definitely going to be a Hongmen banquet, and she'll probably talk endlessly about my ideological work, so I rejected her.
!”
"Who? Who did you just say invited you to dinner?"
Xu Fei looked at Ye Ming with disbelief and asked in surprise.
"It's Xia Chuchu from the provincial TV station, the precious daughter of Director Xia of the provincial bureau!"
Ye Ming didn't know why Xu Fei, who had always been mature and prudent, showed such an expression, so he said in a more serious tone.
Xu Fei clapped his palms and said to Ye Ming: "Brother, you are really dull! Do you know how many people in this provincial capital want to treat Xia Chuchu to dinner? Do you know how many people in our bureau want to be with Xia Chuchu?
Are you racking your brains and trying your best to have a meal together? She took the initiative to invite you to dinner today. This is the first time I heard that Xia Chuchu invited a boy to dinner. You have to know: she is Director Xia’s precious only daughter, right?
For you, this is another golden bridge that is close to Director Xia...Quickly, quickly, call her back and tell her that you will invite her to dinner at the Furong Hotel."
