Ye Ming didn't expect Secretary Lu's eyes to be so sharp and his senses to be so keen. Just by relying on his words to defend Wang Xiuguang, he guessed the reason and purpose of what he said. His face suddenly turned red and he looked a little panicked. He lowered his head, not daring to meet Secretary Lu's eyes. At the same time, he felt uneasy in his heart. He was worried that Secretary Lu would be angry or have any thoughts about himself and Wang Xiuguang. In that case, he would be giving birth to a child today. Wang Xiuguang was not helpful...
When Secretary Lu saw Ye Ming's frightened and flustered expression, he couldn't help but feel a sense of love and affection in his heart. At the same time, he also regretted that he shouldn't have spoken out so directly about the negotiation between him and Wang Xiuguang, so much so that he He was startled - in fact, Secretary Lu's original intention in saying this was to teach him some political wisdom and experience in officialdom, to tell him how to see the essence through phenomena, and how to learn from some people's opinions. Use his words to determine the reason and motivation for what he said.
However, when he saw Ye Ming's worried and frightened expression, he was afraid that if he continued talking, he would be even more embarrassed - after all, although his son was smart, capable, and very perceptive. However, he was now in In the officialdom, he is still a complete "layman". He does not have the smoothness of those veteran officials, the ability to calmly change, and the ability to lie without blushing. What's more, what he is facing today is himself, the authoritative Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. If he exposes the trick of his negotiation with Wang Xiuguang in this way, he will definitely panic and feel uneasy, for fear that he will blame them...
Therefore, Secretary Lu did not dare to say that he and Wang Xiuguang had agreed to come to see him. Instead, he comforted him and said, "Son, you don't have to worry. Wang Xiuguang asked you to help me to defend his case. This is also a human being." I can understand it, and I won’t blame you or Wang Xiuguang. Tell me: Did Wang Xiuguang follow you to the provincial capital? I have never met this person, and I don’t have any in-depth knowledge of him. I only learned about him through the provincial party committee Some people who know him have learned about his basic situation. As for his character, morality and whether he is an honest official, I have no grasp of these information. You should have been in contact with him these days. Do you think he is a good person? How is being an official? How is the reputation in your local area? Since you want to help him, what is the reason for helping him? My child, these questions are more direct, but you don’t have to worry, just speak freely. "
Ye Ming gradually calmed down and raised his head when he heard that Secretary Lu had been calling him "child" affectionately after Xia Chuchu left, and his words were full of kindness and kindness, without any intention of blaming him. He mustered up the courage to say: "Secretary Lu, your guess is absolutely correct. Mayor Wang came to the provincial capital with me. After he heard that I was coming to see you, he indeed asked me to explain his last visit in front of you. Let’s break things down.
"In the past few days, I have had more contact with Mayor Wang and got to know him a bit. I think Mayor Wang is very capable and an honest official. His shortcoming is that he has a quick temper and is a bit impetuous. But overall All in all, he is a good official who wants to do practical things and can do practical things. His official reputation and reputation among us are also very good.
"Furthermore, Director Xu Fei of our Municipal Bureau has been dating Mayor Wang for many years and knows him well. I promised to help Mayor Wang come to your place to explain to him this time. This is also what our Director Xu Fei means. Xu Fei The director told me: Mayor Wang is a righteous person, very emotional, and willing to help others. Kang Wenxiang deceived him this time, taking advantage of Mayor Wang's emotional nature."
During the process of Ye Ming's narration, Secretary Lu had been listening attentively, and at the same time, his mind was running at high speed, thinking about how to deal with this problem: Originally, he had made up his mind to get rid of Wang Xiuguang this time. At the very least, he should be revoked from his position as mayor and randomly assigned to some idle provincial department so that he can live out the rest of his life. The reason for this is not because he offended Ye Ming in the first place, but because he has offended Ye Ming. He and Qing Tao, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of City K, have always been at odds with each other. They have been fighting openly and secretly, which has led to the continuous weakening of the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the Municipal Party Committee of K City, which has directly affected the city's economic and social development. Moreover, these two people are very capable, and There is a group of people following them, and the "inner fighting" becomes more and more fierce, and there is a trend that "one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers". If one of them is not removed, the K City Municipal Committee will one day become a piece of loose sand.
Between Qing Tao and Wang Xiuguang, Secretary Lu admires Qing Tao more. The last time he went to K City for research, Qing Tao accompanied him all the time, which gave him a certain understanding of the municipal party committee secretary. He felt that he had good abilities and clear thinking. He also had ambitions and specific ideas to develop and build K City well. However, because he had to allocate time and energy to fighting Wang Xiuguang, many of his ideas and blueprints were difficult to put into action.
Therefore, after Secretary Lu learned that Wang Xiuguang had ordered the arrest of Ye Ming, he became angry and directly criticized Wang Xiuguang by name at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. He became more determined to remove Wang Xiuguang and had already communicated with several members of the Standing Committee. Angry.
However, Secretary Lu did not expect that his son would now come to defend Wang Xiuguang in person. He knew that his son was very face-conscious and very strong. Moreover, with his character, he would not give up easily. The official came to plead with me. He must have his reasons for doing this today. If he rejects him and doesn't give him face, he will definitely feel a sense of shame and frustration, and it will definitely damage his self-confidence, and it will also It will make the leaders behind him who have placed their hopes in him feel disappointed in him.
Regardless of the above situation, it will have an extremely negative impact on Ye Ming's future career development and the establishment of personal relationships, and will definitely hurt his self-esteem. And such consequences will definitely make Secretary Lu Don't want to see it.
So, he immediately made a decision in his heart: No matter what kind of person Wang Xiuguang is, he must buy his son's face this time, and he must let Wang Xiuguang and Ye Ming's leaders who know about this know that Ye Ming is capable. Those in the background can speak to them and get things done for them. In this way, Ye Ming's prestige in their local official circles can be established, and his leaders can also make his leaders pay attention to him, rely on him, and spare no effort to do their best. Help him, promote him...
Thinking of this, Secretary Lu's face became more kind, and he looked at his son with encouragement and appreciation, nodded and said: "Son, I believe what you said. Go back and tell Wang Xiuguang: work hard and don't have any ideological baggage." .As for his problem, the provincial committee will consider it carefully and let him rest assured!"
