Chapter 23: In the officialdom, it is about understanding

After an inspection in Dongjiang County, Zhao Changfeng basically felt a clear mind. Judging from the report of the Dongjiang County Transportation Bureau, the initial design route of the Dongjiang section of the Haidong New Line is not complicated in terms of geological conditions, there are no sections that need special treatment, and the pressure faces little in terms of land acquisition and demolition. If the Dongjiang section can return to the original design route, then according to the supporting construction funds at the provincial and municipal levels, the Dongjiang section will be started soon and will be completed and opened to traffic within one year.

The current difficulty lies in the fact that if the Dongjiang section returns to the original design route, it will face many jammings. However, even if the jammings are numerous, Zhao Changfeng is still confident to overcome them. After all, this is a thing that is beneficial to the country and the people. As long as the reason is explained clearly, the men above will not get stuck, right?

Since his idea was decided, Zhao Changfeng decided to take action. The first thing was to win the support of the city, especially the support of Secretary Miao Xiaomiao, the top leader of the municipal party committee.

Speaking of which, Zhao Changfeng and Miao Xiao were already quite close. When he was serving as the secretary of the county party committee of Yuehai County, Zhao Changfeng had frequent exchanges with Miao Xiao, and Miao Xiao also took advantage of Zhao Changfeng's financial system reform in Yuehai County to make a big splash. Although the fiscal reform was promoted by Zhao Changfeng, Zhao Changfeng did not forget to report to Secretary Du Hongjun that it was under the correct leadership of the municipal party committee and government, especially with the strong support of Mayor Miao, that the reform of the financial system in Yuehai County was successfully implemented and opened up a new situation. At that time, it was a very delicate period in Haizhou City. Zhao Changfeng deliberately highlighted Mayor Miao when reporting. Although Mayor Miao successfully replaced the secretary of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee and the secretary, at least Zhao Changfeng added a lot of impression points to Miao Xiao when facing Secretary Du's report - of course, these are all reasons for getting the table.

However, after Zhao Changfeng was promoted to the executive vice mayor of Haizhou City, the exchanges between Zhao Changfeng and Miao Xiao were not so close. Although he was a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Executive Vice Mayor, if necessary, Zhao Changfeng rarely went to Miao Xiao's Municipal Party Committee Secretary's Office.

The Haizhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government Courtyard is located on the shore of West Lake in the northwest of Haizhou City, hidden in a mountainous landscape. Because the door number of the courtyard is No. 1, West Lake Avenue, some people like to call this courtyard No. 1, and this title is slowly spreading. Over time, whenever the No. 1 courtyard is mentioned, the old Haizhou people know that it refers to the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government Courtyard.

In the No. 1 West Lake courtyard, the office building of the municipal party secretary and deputy secretary is adjacent to the mayor and the deputy mayor. Officials and people are used to calling it "Secretary Building" and "Mayor Building". Both buildings are not tall, with only five floors, with a maroon-red wall, green glazed tiled roof, and a divine beast squatting on the eaves at the four corners. Under the cover of tall kapok trees and lush small-leaf banyan trees, it is set off by Yanlu Mountain behind the West Lake outside, which has a bit of a Chinese garden.

It is said that the Secretary Building is adjacent to the Mayor Building, and Zhao Changfeng has a good personal relationship with Miao Xiao, so he should often visit Secretary Miao in the Secretary Building. But in fact, after Zhao Changfeng arrived in Haizhou City, he only went to Secretary Miao's secretary's office twice. As the saying goes, people are involuntarily in the officialdom. Although Zhao Changfeng is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, he is also the executive vice mayor and a cadre of the Municipal Government. If he often goes to the Secretary Secretary's Office alone, as the top leader of the Municipal Government, what would the acting mayor Wang Kezhou think? These are all issues that a mature leading cadre needs to consider.

However, today, Zhao Changfeng felt that it was necessary to communicate with Secretary Miao first. Although according to convention, he should report to Acting Mayor Wang Kezhou first. Secretary Miao is the top leader of the municipal party committee. Whether from a work perspective or from a personal relationship, report to Secretary Miao first on this issue so that Secretary Miao can feel Zhao Changfeng's respect for him. This is very important for Zhao Changfeng to successfully carry out the reconstruction of the Dongjiang section of the Haidong New Line. Of course, this does not mean that Zhao Changfeng does not respect Acting Mayor Wang Kezhou, but for Zhao Changfeng, what he needs to look for is a way to complete his conception as fast as possible.

Secretary Miao's office is located at the east end of the fifth floor. If you want to go there, you must first pass through Secretary Miao's full-time secretary's office. When Zhao Changfeng passed by, he was sitting behind the desk and writing hard. He thought he was writing something. Zhao Changfeng stood at the door and woke up immediately when he heard the voice. He looked up and saw that it was Zhao Changfeng, and his face was immediately full of smiles.

"Secretary Miao... are there?" Zhao Changfeng pointed to Secretary Miao's office next door. Although he had called Secretary Miao in advance before coming over, Zhao Changfeng still asked at this time.

"Here." He heard the voice and knew the relationship between Zhao Changfeng and Boss Miao. He smiled and said, "It just so happened that there was no one inside."

"Okay, I'll go there first." Zhao Changfeng smiled and walked to the next door. If it were someone else, he would probably inform him when he heard the voice, but as Secretary Miao's full-time secretary, he certainly knew the relationship between Zhao Changfeng and Boss Miao when he heard the voice, so he became a little casual.

When Zhao Changfeng went in, Secretary Miao was calling with a red telephone. Zhao Changfeng's movement immediately softened. The red telephones were all in contact with superiors. It seemed that Secretary Miao was talking on the phone with a leader in the province.

Secretary Miao also saw Zhao Changfeng coming in. A smile was hanging on the corner of his mouth. He pointed at the sofa with his fingers and signaled Zhao Changfeng to sit down first. Zhao Changfeng sat on the sofa with a smile.

"Okay, we are working very closely at the moment. I will report to you if you have any questions." Secretary Miao respectfully put down the phone and looked at it, stood up and walked towards Zhao Changfeng.

Zhao Changfeng quickly stood up and smiled and shouted, "Secretary Miao."

"Haha, sit, sit, sit." Secretary Miao shook Zhao Changfeng's hand vigorously, pulled Zhao Changfeng to sit side by side on the sofa. Then he took out a box of giant pandas from the coffee table and handed them to Zhao Changfeng: "Come one?"

Zhao Changfeng waved his hand and said, "I smoked for an afternoon of cigarettes, my throat hurts, and I won't come."

"Okay, okay, it's still the same nature." Secretary Miao laughed, stuffed a cigarette into his mouth, and said, "I'm really afraid that you'll be polite to me!"

Zhao Changfeng felt aroused and knew that Secretary Miao was talking about feelings with him, which showed that the relationship between the two people did not change with each other's status. This was also an anomaly in the officialdom.

He reached out and took out the lighter to light the fire for Secretary Miao, and said with a smile: "I am not polite to the leader, I only serve the leader."

"You!" Secretary Miao lit Zhao Changfeng with his fingers holding a cigarette, and then asked casually: "How is it, this period of time?"

The question is without a trace, which is a typical half-word in the officialdom. If an obedient person does not have some understanding or preparation, let alone answering this sentence, even the monk is confused about what the squad leader is asking!

Of course, Zhao Changfeng would not do this. Although he was young, he did not lack experience in the officialdom. With his own understanding, he did better than anyone else in this regard.

As a subordinate, you must be fully prepared when meeting your superiors. This preparation is not only about preparations for material data, but more importantly, you must be mentally and psychologically prepared, and be able to determine your words and deeds based on the subtle atmosphere of the scene and the changes in your leadership mentality.

For example, if you want to meet the superior leader, you must consider how to use expressions when you come to see the leader alone. How should you adjust the expressions on your face when you come together? If the leader is alone in the office, then how should you speak? If there are other people in the leader's office, then how should you speak. These things must be read in your mind in advance and plan to stop, so that you can deal with them appropriately when you meet the leader and there will be no mistakes.

In addition, we must analyze the meaning of the leader's specific actions based on the habits and behaviors of the leader. For example, Secretary Miao and Zhao Changfeng started to contact each other when he was the county magistrate of Yuehai County. He had a very clear understanding of some behavioral habits of Secretary Miao (who was Mayor Miao at that time). For example, whether Secretary Miao sat to meet you, communicated with you while standing, or even listened to your report while walking, the meaning contained here is different. The walking, standing or sitting when he met you already contained the questions he had about you, reporting and asking for instructions, about what he was about to arrange or was about to arrange for you, and even your future destiny.

Zhao Changfeng is already familiar with Secretary Miao's body language to this point, and of course he can accurately grasp the information implicit in Secretary Miao's language.
