Chapter Eight hundred and forty-seven The plot between square inches!
Shi Jianguo, deputy director of the Economic Cooperation Office, has an old-fashioned personality and is relatively isolated within the unit.
He doesn't usually have many hobbies. He doesn't get together with everyone to chat and set up dragon gate formations, let alone play cards and have dinners. He just sits in his office all day long and doesn't know what to do.
He works from nine to five every day, and everyone he sees has a dead face. The staff of the Economic Cooperation Office privately call him "Zi Guban", which is homophonic to "Shi Guban".
Chen Jing discussed work with Shi Jianguo today.
Shi Jianguo is in charge of the General Affairs Department. He usually has nothing to do and is basically idle.
However, Chen Jing solemnly told him today that the Economic Cooperation Office was planning to hold an expanded chess competition.
Speaking of the chess competition, Chen Jing said self-deprecatingly: "Lao Shi, you also know the situation of our Economic Cooperation Organization. Others privately say that we are veterans of the Department of Commerce, and we have more veteran comrades."
"I observed recently and found that the atmosphere of chess in our unit is very strong. Many of our old comrades are keen on this activity. In this case, we can hold a competition. By the way, we can organize the old comrades who have retired from the Commerce Department together. I
After taking a look, I saw that there were quite a few people there, as there were about fifty people.
Participants all receive encouragement prizes!
In addition, we have eight awards including first place, second place, third place award, winning streak award, dare to fight award, and still honor despite defeat award. Lao Wang and I have already met about this event, and he agrees.
You are responsible for the specific organization!”
Shi Jianguo didn't say a word. He pondered for a long time and said, "Director Chen, let's go see Director Ma in the afternoon. He is the chess champion in our previous department!"
Chen Jing was stunned and took a deep look at Shi Jianguo.
Chen Jing naturally had a purpose in proposing a chess match at this time.
Chen Jing has recently been studying the structure of the Department of Commerce. According to the information he has learned, former Director Ma Jinzhu of the Department of Commerce has a great influence in the Department of Commerce. He is a sworn enemy of Zhou Wei. He has suppressed Zhou Wei in the Department of Commerce for four or five years.
At that time, the Commerce Department was divided into the Ma faction and the Zhou faction. The two factions fought fiercely, but Zhou Wei's arms could not twist his thighs, and Ma Jinzhu kept suppressing him.
Two years ago, Ma Jinzhu retired when he reached his age.
But his influence in the department is still there, and now several deputy directors of the Department of Commerce are his people.
Therefore, Zhou Wei currently does not have absolute say in the Department of Commerce, and he often encounters considerable resistance in implementing his will.
But he is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
At that time, the province was going to establish the Economic Cooperation Office. He used his brains on this, promoted the Economic Cooperation Office very highly, and then took the opportunity to arrange some of Ma Jinzhu's key personnel to the Economic Cooperation Office.
Among them, Shi Jianguo was the first deputy director to come over at that time.
It was precisely because of this entanglement that Chen Jing thought of Ma Jinzhu.
Chen Jing's idea is very simple. Now that he is the veteran director, he must rely on the existing old, weak, sick and disabled people. It is best to connect these old fried dough sticks together.
Aren't these guys difficult to manage and are they still causing trouble?
Chen Jing didn't take care of it himself, but took advantage of the situation and passed on the headaches of this group of people to others.
Now that Chen Jing has taken advantage of him, he will soon have to deal with Zhou Wei.
Under such circumstances, not only did he have to come up with his own method, but he also had to unite these old guys and use them as shields.
Chen Jing has rich experience in political struggles over the years and knows that Zhou Wei will not be persuaded by him simply by relying on his own rhetoric.
How many people who wallow in politics are not human beings?
Everyone is warm-hearted and cold-hearted. No matter how difficult it is for the Economic Cooperation Office and no matter how hard it is bullied, so what?
Is it worth Zhou Wei's intervention?
Chen Jing needs to work together. He sings and cries in front, and there must be a group of people behind him who are ready to make a move.
In order to give Zhou Wei a headache, other deputy directors within the Department of Commerce must also put pressure on him. Only under such circumstances can things be done.
As long as Zhou Wei stands firm, Chen Jing will have the initiative in the so-called Wanyou incident.
Regarding Wan You's matter, Chen Jing's advantage now is that he has the evidence and justice. He is the right side.
Weakness means that his personal strength is weak, so what if he is justified?
There are too many interest entanglements involved here. If he really fights fiercely and offends some people, the leaders above will put more pressure on the people below, and Zhou Wei will have negative effects at the critical moment. Chen Jing will not be able to resist it.
The four words "fairness and justice" are very simple to write with pen.
However, it is difficult to achieve fairness and justice in any work.
Chen Jing is not an angry young man, nor is he someone who only complains.
When faced with difficulties, one has to find ways to resolve them one by one, seek straightness in the midst of twists and turns, and move forward in roundabout ways. No matter what difficulties he faces, Chen Jing faces them positively.
Shi Jianguo's thinking surprised Chen Jing.
In an instant, Chen Jing understood that Shi Jianguo was a very transparent person.
Even though he usually looks dead-faced to everyone he meets, he actually sees things very clearly and deeply.
Chen Jing made a slight move, and Shi Jianguo went straight to the core of the problem, which made Chen Jing feel a little uncomfortable and embarrassed.
Li Zongwu's thick black style is very familiar to Chen Jing.
But he still hasn’t mastered his shameless skills and is still very young!
But fortunately, he immediately adjusted and said: "Lao Shi, it's great to be able to meet Director Ma! Our old champion is playing, and with him joining us, our chess match will definitely be quite exciting!"
Shi Jianguo said nothing and had no expression on his face.
Chen Jing added: "As for the funding of the event, you can go directly to the Finance Office to ask for it, and I have already explained it. Since we are hosting a competition, we must be generous, pay attention to both spiritual and material matters, and not be too stingy.
The Economic Cooperation Office currently does not have much funds for activities, but we will get better and better, and we will continue to organize these beneficial activities in the future!"
…
Ma Jinzhu is in his early sixties. He has been born with a short stature and is unremarkable.
He has two major hobbies.
One hobby is fishing, and the other is playing chess.
The leader's love for fishing will inevitably affect the atmosphere below. When Ma Jinzhu was in power in the Department of Commerce, there were quite a large number of cadres from the Department of Commerce in the Guangdong Fishing Association.
The leader loves to play chess, and the chess atmosphere in the Business Department was quite strong in the past.
Until now, some old guys from the Economic Cooperation Office usually drive back and forth, dispatching troops and generals within a few inches, and have a great time killing.
Chen Jing was introduced to Ma Jinzhu by Shi Jianguo at the fishing ground of Baishui Mountain Resort Center in Guangdong City.
Ma Jinzhu is fishing with a rod.
As soon as Shi Jianguo arrived there, he left Chen Jing alone, took out a set of fishing gear with ease, unfolded it skillfully, and then started fishing.
Chen Jing was left alone next to Ma Jinzhu.
Ma Jinzhu raised his head and glanced at Chen Jing. When Chen Jing was about to speak, he put his hand to his lips and whispered softly: "Don't talk about big things now, don't scare away the fish!"
So Chen Jing could only do it.
About half an hour later, Chen Jing was really bored. He looked at the watch on his hand and saw that it was still early.
All he had to do was go to the fishing tackle shop outside the fishing ground, buy a few pieces of fishing tackle, mix some bait, and then buy a fish guard, and then he could go and catch other fish in peace and quiet.
Chen Jing is no stranger to fishing, and Wu Daming loves fishing very much.
Chen Jing had fished with him many times back then.
Whether it is theory or practice, Chen Jing can do it.
Nowadays, the Taiwanese fishing method is generally popular. Chen Jing is very skilled in setting up a pole to test the water, and then fishes with bait.
This fishing is like sunset.
Chen Jing was lucky today and caught a lot of fish. In just one afternoon, there were two full grids of fish in a two-meter fish protection net.
It should weigh twenty or thirty kilograms in your hand.
On the contrary, Ma Jinzhu, who was next to him, seemed to be out of luck and hadn't caught any big fish all afternoon.
As the sun set, Ma Jinzhu was doing his work. He stared at Chen Jing's fish guard and said, "Young man, you are an expert! I see you are very skilled in Taiwan fishing!"
Chen Jing said modestly: "Jockey Hall, I can only be considered a beginner. I don't know how to make a nest at a fixed point. The accuracy of throwing the pole is not good, and I can't find the position. So I can only rely on feeling.
Got it!"
Ma Jinzhu smiled slightly and said: "We will stay here for dinner tonight. There is a cook from Chujiang here who is best at making crucian carp soup. There is a spicy flavor in the soup. You should like it!"
Chen Jing quickly thanked him.
It seems that Ma Jinzhu is also a sensible person. He has already known Chen Jing's identity.
That's how officialdom is, you never speak directly.
Sometimes an understatement can contain a lot of meaning.
This process can often only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.
Chen Jing now needs Ma Jinzhu, or he needs to use Ma Jinzhu's remaining influence.
People also know Chen Jing’s thoughts, and everyone is a smart person. One sentence from Ma Jinzhu can be said to have conveyed endless information!
"Can you play chess?" Ma Jinzhu suddenly asked Chen Jing.
Chen Jing smiled and said: "I know a little bit, but I'm not very good! I'm definitely no match for you in the horse racing hall!"
Ma Jinzhu chuckled and said: "Okay, let's play a few games tonight. Since Jianguo is here anyway, we will have an arena match. Three people will compete in the arena. Aren't we going to compete soon? Let's just warm up!"
We spent the afternoon fishing and played chess in the evening.
Chen Jingdu wondered if he was here for vacation today.
But now that things have come to this, he is not allowed to back down.
As the saying goes, people make plans and God makes things happen. Chen Jing tried his best to plan things. This is his principle of doing things.
Chen Jingzhen is not good at playing chess.
Ma Jinzhu's chess game is majestic and overwhelming. Playing chess with him feels like facing a mountain, which is very uncomfortable.
But compared to Ma Jinzhu, Chen Jing was more afraid of Shi Jianguo. Shi Jianguo's chess strategy was weird and extremely dangerous from the beginning. His pan-headed horse was used superbly by him, making it difficult for people to guard against.
Chen Jing tried his best, but the chess game often ended abruptly.
The strangeness of the horse and the unpredictability of the cannon were something Chen Jing had never seen before. He would often sweat profusely after a game of chess, but there was nothing he could do about it.
On this battlefield, he is an absolute weakling. The real contest in today's chess game is between Ma and Shi. The excitement of their battle is beyond Chen Jing's reach and is breathtaking. There is great wisdom and great power in a small space. Chen Jing finally sees it.
Here it is. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
