Liu Qifeng did not live in the municipal party committee compound, but in the Binhai Guest House. Don't think that the guest house is just an ordinary small hotel. This is actually an internal club of Binhai City specially used to receive central leaders. Behind it are all two-story villas, Binhai
Several main leaders of the municipal party committee each have a villa here.
In fact, there were several villa groups in the Municipal Party Committee compound. The earliest villa group was a garden house built by the Germans. There were 13 houses, which was exactly the same number of members of the Binhai Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. Therefore, after liberation, this place
It successfully became the residence of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee members.
Before the reform and opening up, Binhai City had never built any new high-end residential buildings, because in the past few decades, Binhai Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee members had been replaced, and there were only a few people. Even if one person left and another one came, the number of people remained relatively fixed.
In addition, people at that time were not very pursuing material life, so these thirteen villas were always enough.
But after the reform and opening up, the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes. First, a group of veteran cadres retired and joined the advisory committee. The people are no longer in office, but the level is still there. They must not be allowed to move out of the villa. Therefore, the new standing committee members will live in
No more villas. In order to solve this focal problem, the municipal party committee built another villa complex.
But within a few years, the villa complex was overcrowded again. The key is that although some leaders came down, their treatment did not change. There were even some people who were at the department level before abdicating, but were promoted half a level when they abdicated, and enjoyed the treatment of deputy provincial level.
.One of the most important benefits is living in a villa. Therefore, we had to build a third villa group.
As a result, there is no difference in treatment between the abdicated leaders and the current leaders, and those current leaders feel a little unhappy. In order to solve this problem, the municipal party committee office came up with another way. In addition to enjoying alone time, the current standing committee members
In addition to the villa, you can also enjoy a separate office room in the guest house.
Liu Qifeng is not a local cadre and came to Binhai City alone. The Municipal Party Committee Office originally allocated him a villa, but he declined on the grounds that occupying two villas for one person was too wasteful.
In the guest house, he didn't have to worry about having no one to take care of him in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, so he stayed here all the time.
When the car parked downstairs in the villa where Liu Qifeng lived, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. After opening the car door for Liu Qifeng and waiting for him to get out of the car, Li Xiaoning opened the back cover of the car, took out the gifts prepared by the development zone, and said
: "Chief, I'm going to help you bring these gifts up."
To Li Xiaoning's surprise, Liu Qifeng, who had been praising Li Xiaoning all the way, suddenly darkened his face and asked coldly: "Where did you get the gift?"
Li Xiaoning was stunned for a moment, then said truthfully: "This is what Secretary Zhang of the Development Zone prepared."
Liu Qifeng became angry and said angrily: "Who told you to ask for other people's things casually?" Maybe he felt that his tone was a bit harsh, so after a slight pause, Liu Qifeng continued, "Xiao Li, you have to remember. We are
Party members are cadres of the party and the country, and are public servants of the people. We are here to work and serve the people, not to plunder the people's wealth!"
After Liu Qifeng finished speaking righteously, he left Li Xiaoning behind and angrily went upstairs alone.
Li Xiaoning was stunned on the spot while carrying large and small bags. He had worked hard all day, but he stumbled at the last moment. In fact, Li Xiaoning himself was quite disgusted with the things that happened between officials.
Yes, but the reality is that "officials don't give gifts". Not to mention the feudal officials like Liu Qifeng, even ordinary county and township cadres try their best to get some local specialties to take away when they get downstairs. Officialdom
Among them, everyone knew that giving gifts to leaders was like visiting relatives in the countryside for the purpose of connecting with each other, and it had absolutely nothing to do with giving or receiving bribes. That’s why Li Xiaoning did not make the decision without authorization to refuse the development zone to Liu.
A gift prepared by Qifeng.
But what he never expected was that Liu Qifeng was so honest that he gave him a stern lecture. Although Li Xiaoning admired Liu Qifeng's integrity, his own situation was worth worrying about. Liu Qifeng thought that he
He is an unprincipled comrade, which basically means that his political future is ruined. And now Liu Qifeng is angry and goes upstairs, leaving Li Xiaoning down, leaving him a little at a loss - what should he do with this gift?
What to do? Send it back? It’s already past ten o’clock now. If you rush back to the development zone, everyone will probably have woken up. Besides, what will Zhang Yuqiang and others think if they really do this? I guess I don’t have to think about it.
The officialdom is messed up.
"Secretary Li, get in the car and I'll take you back." The driver Tang Hui opened the door and shouted to Li Xiaoning.
Li Xiaoning raised his hand with a wry smile, frowned and said, "What should I do with these things?"
"What should I do? You can take it back yourself." Tang Hui said carelessly.
"Shall I take them back?" Li Xiaoning really stared, "Secretary Liu just gave me a lesson. If I take these things back, I will probably be laid off tomorrow."
Tang Hui smiled mysteriously and said, "You just became a secretary to the leader, right?"
"Yes!" Li Xiaoning heard something in Tang Hui's words and said hurriedly, "Please ask Brother Tang to give me some advice."
"Get in the car first, and then we'll talk about it later." Tang Hui said and closed the door again.
Upon seeing this, Li Xiaoning knew that Tang Hui was definitely not as simple as he appeared, and that he might really be able to help him get out of trouble, so he put the gift back into the trunk and sat in the passenger seat.
Tang Hui started the vehicle but didn't say anything for a long time. Li Xiaoning finally couldn't hold it in any longer and asked first: "Brother Tang, please teach me what to do. If Secretary Liu asks about this gift again tomorrow,
Come on, how should I go back?"
Tang Hui smiled slightly and said nothing, but took out a pack of "Red Nanjing" from his pocket. This was the first time Li Xiaoning saw Tang Hui take out a cigarette since they met. At first, he thought he didn't smoke.
Upon seeing this, he hurriedly took out a pack of "Soft China" from his pocket, took out one and put it to Tang Hui's mouth. The cigarettes were just handed out at the wine table. Everyone had several packs, and Li Xiaoning still had some in his pocket.
A few packs.
"The people around the leader are just different. Even the quality of their cigarettes is so high." Tang Hui took the cigarette with a smile and joked.
"Brother Tang is joking." As Li Xiaoning spoke, he took out a lighter to light the cigarette for Tang Hui, and then put the pack of cigarettes into Tang Hui's pocket.
The smile on Tang Hui's face grew thicker, he took a long drag on the cigarette, and then said: "Brother, go back and sleep peacefully. I promise you, Secretary Liu will never mention this matter again."
Li Xiaoning was stunned when he heard this and asked doubtfully: "Are you sure?"
"Why?" Li Xiaoning really didn't understand, but he never dared to underestimate Tang Hui again.
"Why? The knowledge here is so deep." Tang Hui said inscrutably while smoking "Soft China", "I'm talking about the knowledge of serving leaders. This knowledge is not in the books.
, I can’t hear it in class, even though you are all college students, even if you are graduate students or doctoral students, you will still be blind when you enter the officialdom, and you will be stunned and unable to see anything."
"Yes, yes!" Li Xiaoning didn't want to hear Tang Hui bragging here, but he had no choice but to follow his words, "I also hope that Brother Tang can teach me."
Tang Hui curled his lips and said: "Many people look down on those of us who drive, and think that those who sit in offices are superior to us, but who knows best about serving leaders? Or us. Let me tell you, it's just me.
The experience I have accumulated over the years, no matter how much you spend to buy it from me, I won’t sell it to you. That’s you, so I’m going to tell you some superficial things. It’s not because of anything else, brother, I just see you.
People are more down-to-earth, unlike some people who look down on others."
"Thank you, Brother Tang, for looking after your brother!" Li Xiaoning said solemnly.
Tang Hui threw the cigarette butt out of the window and continued: "A secretary to a big boss like you needs to have the eyes of an old lady, the ears of a big girl, and the mouth of a young daughter-in-law."
"How do you say this?" This was the first time Li Xiaoning had heard of this theory, and he couldn't help but become interested.
Tang Hui smiled slightly and said: "Have you ever seen the old lady's eyes? She says she has good eyesight, but she can't thread the thread with her needle nose; she says she doesn't have eyesight, but she can do great work.
, the fine needles and dense threads are not out of shape. This means that you have to see what you should see, and you have to pretend to be blind when you should not see."
Li Xiaoning touched it carefully and felt that although what Tang Hui said was superficial, it was indeed the same thing. He couldn't help but nodded and said: "Incisive. How do you explain the big girl's ears?"
"You are a college student after all, and you always speak in such a formal manner." Tang Hui said with a smile, "A big girl's ears are even more sophisticated. When a big girl is in a group of wives or a circle of men, there are no dirty words or ugly words.
.What should I do? You can neither follow nor pretend to be shy, you can only pretend to be deaf and dumb."
"Brother Tang, what you said is really vivid, and then talk about the little wife's mouth." Li Xiaoning really admired Tang Hui now.
"The key to this little daughter-in-law's mouth is these small words." Tang Hui turned back and glanced meaningfully at Li Xiaoning and said, "In front of your parents-in-law, you have to try to be subtle. Don't leave half of the words on your lips, and don't throw everything away.
.”
After a pause, Tang Hui continued: "In short, in a nutshell, if you can't see what you should see, you will be beaten; if you see what you shouldn't see, you will be beaten. If you should hear what you should not, you will be beaten.
If you don't hear, you will be scolded; if you hear what you are not supposed to hear, you will be punished; if you don't say what you are supposed to say, you will be scolded; if you say what you are not supposed to say, you will be killed..."
Li Xiaoning heard Tang Hui's words quite fresh and shocking. After all, he was a smart man. After thinking about it for a while, he thought of the root of the problem and asked tentatively: "In Brother Tang's opinion, I am going to
Did you not say what you should have said, or did you say what you shouldn’t have said?”
"Boys can be taught!" Tang Hui glanced at Li Xiaoning again, his eyes full of approval, "Of course you said something you shouldn't have said tonight."
Li Xiaoning felt cold in his heart and said in surprise: "Then I have to be killed?"
