Wang Qing came home with a large bag of things in his hands and looked a little depressed.
Wang Shufen was very sensitive. When she saw her husband like this, she said, "What's wrong? Old Wang, Secretary Chen is not satisfied with you?"
Wang Qing shook his head, pointed to the big bag placed on the ground, and said, "Take a look at these things..."
Wang Shufen quickly went over to open the bag, took a look, took a breath, stared blankly at the contents of the bag, and said: "This...this...where did this come from?"
In the bag were two bottles of Wuliangye, in aged porcelain bottles, and two packs of Yuxi cigarettes.
Wang Qing shook his head and said: "This is from Secretary Chen. The last gift from Wei Dongming somehow reached Secretary Chen's ears. He praised me for doing a good job, so he gave me these things!"
Wang Qing still feels embarrassed when he thinks about the situation at that time.
Chen Jing looked at him with a smile but not a smile, and said: "I know that you, Wang Qing, are upright and upright. The last time Wei Dongming gave you a heavy gift, you returned it intact, and it has been spread among the people below.
But why did you come to my place with another bag of things?"
Wang Qingdao: "Secretary Chen, this is just a small gesture from me, not a gift!"
Chen Jing laughed and said: "Okay, even if it's a gift, as long as it's from you, I'll accept it! But since it's an indecent gift, I'll give you a gift too..."
When Chen Jing packed two bottles of Wuliangye and cigarettes into a bag and gave them to Wang Qing, Wang Qing was at a loss.
Secretary Chen's gift was too expensive. The gift he gave was only a few hundred yuan, but these two bottles of wine and two cigarettes cost three to four thousand yuan.
When he was about to refuse, Chen Jing said: "Just accept it if I give it to you. Take these things back and give them to your sister-in-law! I'm not married, but I have found a girlfriend before. I also know that if I go to my mother-in-law's house,
It can’t be too shabby!”
When Chen Jing said this, Wang Qing immediately blushed. He finally understood that this must be the person in his family who was gossiping outside again.
Wang Qing thought that his wife was good at everything, but she couldn't control her mouth and liked to talk about everything. This news spread and even reached the ears of Secretary Chen.
Chen Jing gave the things to Wang Qing indiscriminately. Wang Qing couldn't refuse, so he came back with the things.
He felt uncomfortable all the way back. Originally, he went there to give a gift to Chen Jing, but now, Chen Jing gave him such a heavy gift instead. This was simply reversing the order and ridiculous.
When he came back and took the bus, he still felt uncomfortable after thinking about it. After careful consideration, he called Qin Yang.
Qin Yang also felt funny on the phone. But he comforted Wang Qing and said: "Okay, Lao Wang, your Secretary Chen is so rich that a small amount of money is not a problem. If he dares to give it away, you must dare to accept it. You
Don’t worry, the Discipline Inspection Commission won’t investigate you if you collect these things.”
After Qin Yang said this, Wang Qing finally felt a little calmer, but he was still embarrassed after all.
Wang Shufen caught him and asked him questions. Wang Qing had to explain the cause and effect of the matter. Finally, he said: "It's all because of your mouth. You act like a loudspeaker all day long. You talk wherever you go. You insist on doing anything small."
Everyone knows it.”
Wang Shufen knew she was wrong and giggled, but she stared at the two boxes of wine, unable to hide her joy.
"This Secretary Chen is really interesting, especially because he is so generous with his actions. I admire such a leader!" Wang Shufen said with a smile.
She paused, then approached Wang Qing and said: "Hey, Lao Wang, why do you think Secretary Chen is so rich? Look at these two boxes of wine and these cigarettes. They are so expensive, but in his eyes they are so rich.
They are as worthless as vegetables and radishes. I estimate that 80% of these things were given to him by others.
You think this is interesting. If someone gives you something, it is a bribe, but if you give him something, he accepts it calmly. This is really ridiculous."
Wang Qing suddenly changed his expression and said: "You are talking nonsense. Secretary Chen is so talented, and the consulting fees paid by others in a year are a lot of money. Besides, his girlfriend is a famous official in the provincial capital, and she has opened a big company. This way
Given the conditions, does he still need to accept bribes?
You, you, you are thinking about some messy things in your mind every day, don’t say anything if you don’t understand, I have told you so many times, be careful with your words and deeds, but you just don’t listen, you, sooner or later, will suffer a big loss
of."
Wang Shufen stuck out her tongue, put away a bag of things, and muttered: "Don't give up such good things for free!"
She had already focused her thoughts on her father's birthday party in a few days. She didn't understand official matters, and she didn't want to understand them.
Anyway, Lao Wang didn't dare to accept the two bottles of wine last time. She had been thinking about it all the time. Now she had two bottles of wine again. This time, it was given to Lao Wang by the leader. He had to accept it even if he didn't accept it.
She had two extra bottles of wine for nothing, and she had a gift for her father's birthday. It didn't cost any money, and more importantly, she could show her face. This was the most important thing to her.
She is a somewhat vulgar woman at heart. She has all the shortcomings of women, such as gossip, vanity, and narrow-mindedness. In her world view, those political intrigues are what men should face.
.
The intrigues in life are the stage for women to show off their talents. Wang Shufen feels that she should be a strong person in this aspect.
Seeing his wife happily taking the gifts into the room, Wang Qing slowly shook his head. He really lacked effective means to deal with his wife.
However, judging from his many years of experience in politics, what Wang Shufen said still makes some sense.
No matter how rich Chen Jing is, he probably won't be able to buy Wuliangye and Yuxi cigarettes by himself, so these things must have been given by others. Strictly speaking, are these things considered bribes?
Wang Qing shook his head. Chinese culture is too complex, especially the human world, which is difficult to understand.
The Chinese nation has been considered a country of etiquette since ancient times, and etiquette exchanges are particularly important. Wang Qing has always been considered to be too pedantic and does not understand this aspect.
But he persisted persistently, feeling that if you want to be an official, you cannot rely on human relationships, especially in the current system, where rule by man is still the mainstream. Under such conditions, once there are human relationships, how can we achieve absolute fairness and justice in our work?
With a slight sigh, Wang Qing slowly closed his eyes.
Although the communication time between him and Chen Jing was not long, he had a glimpse of Chen Jing's thoughts and had a general understanding of them.
Chen Jing has a maturity that is completely inconsistent with his age. This maturity is enough to make Wang Qing ashamed.
Chen Jing has such ability, talent, and status. His actions and actions naturally have his own rules. Wang Qing has not reached that level yet, so he may not be able to understand Chen Jing's world!
Thinking of work again, Wang Qing's mood became even more complicated.
In order to meet Chen Jing, he had done enough homework. He himself has quite a lot of experience in grassroots work. In the past few years, he has been working in the government office. Although he has no real power in his hands, he has never relaxed his interest in Deshui politics.
Research and observe.
In many cases, he was like a hermit watching with cold eyes. He jumped out of the various games in the political arena and stared at Deshui with the study of a bystander, thinking that he had seen every detail of Deshui.
Recently, a violent incident occurred in Hehua, and Wang Qing paid attention to this incident immediately.
Through careful research and careful inspection, he quickly found the cause and effect of this matter. He was very confident that if the organization asked him to be responsible for this piece of work, he would definitely handle it very beautifully.
Therefore, when facing Chen Jing, he talked freely and very confidently.
However, after communicating with Chen Jing, he discovered that Chen Jing's perspective on problems was wider and further than his, and that Chen Jing's understanding of some subtle phenomena was much more thorough than his.
The mess of Lotus was not left to him. Chen Jing himself had gone deep into the front line to handle it properly.
Chen Jing told him that Hehua is not a simple place. Hehua Street is the core of Deshui. It is not easy to do a good job and develop well in this place.
Chen Jing emphasized that it has always been said from top to bottom that in order to develop, we must emancipate our minds.
Most people understand that it is not enough to emancipate the mind in backward places. In backward places, more emphasis should be placed on emancipating the mind.
As everyone knows, places like Lotus, where morality is the most developed, are the places where we really cannot relax and emancipate our minds.
Chen Jing said that if a place wants to develop, it means that the inherent and bad things must be replaced by good and advanced things.
To complete such a transition from old to new, we must first complete this action from the ideological level, and this piece of work is the top priority of grassroots party organizations.
How did the lotus problem arise?
The underlying reason for the Lotus accident is that the people's thinking has not kept up. They do not realize what the future development of the city should look like. They do not realize what kind of life they, as city dwellers, should lead in the future.
Therefore, when faced with change, their most direct reaction is resistance.
When conflicts arise, leading cadres do not realize the seriousness of such conflicts, and conflicts gradually arise.
When conflicts intensify to a certain extent, accidents will naturally occur.
When talking about this issue, Chen Jing's tone was very stern. He said: "An incident with such a bad impact occurred in Hehua. Who should be held responsible for this matter? In my opinion, the first person who should be held accountable is the leading cadres.
The most innocent among them are the common people. Our leading cadres did not organize everyone to emancipate their minds and did not go deep into the masses to do their work. This is the root cause of the accident.
This incident is a harsh lesson. I hope that the new team of Hehua can learn this lesson and always remember to go deep into the masses, listen more to the voices of the people, and become one with the people.
Such a grassroots team is a qualified team, and such a grassroots party organization is a team that can benefit the people and develop the society..."
