Chapter 51 The Culture of Gifts

Since Mr. Xu came to Minning City, Wu Hao has another more important job in addition to his normal work, that is, to accompany Mr. Xu. In the next three days, Wu Hao and this cheerful old man became almost all-time friends. During the chat with the old man, Wu Hao knew that when he was young, he responded to the call of the central government and went south to Anfu City to work. Then he gradually moved to the position of the secretary of the Southeast Provincial Party Committee. Later, he was transferred to the Central Committee as the Minister of the Organization Department of the Central Committee. He did not retreat until the previous year to serve as the vice chairman of the National People's Congress. Last year was the 50th anniversary of his work in Anfu City. It was brushing away the dust of time as the starting point of his life, so he specially returned to Anfu.

The city went to find the past when the golden swords and iron horses were swept away, and the sword was cast into a plow, changing the world. Because of the hot weather in Anfu City, it caused severe heatstroke. When he woke up, he learned from the doctor that when he was sent, the core body temperature was as high as 40 degrees and his kidneys were also exhausted. If Wu Hao had not sent him to the hospital for emergency treatment in time, he would have caused convulsions or death due to heatstroke. Later, after he recovered from the illness, he would have looked for Wu Hao everywhere, wanting to return the money Wu Hao paid to Wu Hao and thank Wu Hao for his life-saving grace in person. But who knew that Wu Hao had no news about this, and what he didn't expect was that Wu Hao, who he had been looking for, was always following his son.

As the end of the year is getting closer, the atmosphere in the agency has become a little weird. In the past, the leaders of counties and cities below always walked into the municipal party committee compound with their heads raised their heads and chests. However, in the past few days, the leaders of counties and cities have been riding private cars and parked far away from the municipal party committee compound, and appeared in the municipal party committee living area as if they had done something bad.

After Mr. Xu came, Jiang Yu refused to let Wu Hao live in Jiangbin Community. According to Jiang Yu, because it is the end of the year now, and because he is the first secretary of the municipal party committee, there will be a constant stream of people to greet him in the next few days, and ordinary people will choose to get off work or evening hours, so it is absolutely inappropriate for him to live there at his place at this time.

Since this is Wu Hao's first year as the full-time secretary of the municipal party committee, the manager knew that such things were indeed likely to exist, but he did not believe that Jiang Yu would say so much, but the facts were in front of him. After several days, after get off work every day, his cell phone ringtone and the doorbell of the dormitory rang almost continuously. Leaders from various units in the city and counties and cities below appeared at the door of his dormitory. These people who came to Wu Hao's house to pay New Year's greetings seemed to have formed a tacit understanding. From beginning to end, dozens of people, but Wu Hao didn't see anyone bumping into anyone. He sent one away, and the doorbell or mobile phone would ring again. These people almost knocked on the door of his dormitory with something in their hands, and then they didn't sit for a long time, and immediately did not disturb Wu.

Hao rested as an excuse and left in a hurry. Although Wu Hao was no longer surprised by these phenomena in the officialdom, and after he became a full-time secretary, such situations often occurred. As time went by, he gradually got used to such things, or went with the flow. As long as it was not too expensive, Wu Hao never acted as a thorn. However, this was his first experience of large-scale New Year greetings like this. He looked at the dormitory room full of cigarettes, foreign wine, and some red envelopes enclosed in envelopes. Although the money was not much, each letter was usually 1,200, but all of them were more than 40,000 yuan. This was not counting the value of those cigarettes and foreign wines, Wu Hao felt that his head was getting bigger.

At the same time, Wu Haoyuan also staged this scene at his home in Anfu City. For several consecutive days, leaders from various departments in Anfu City appeared in front of the small building of Wu Hao's house one after another. However, they were blatantly hungry to see his parents, who replaced the daily affairs of the secretary-general. Each leader came here and first praised the secretary-general's parents in such a small building. Then he proposed that his unit had an empty dormitory building and wanted to ask Wu Hao's parents to move there. Finally, he left many local specialties, nutritional products, and some condolences money in Wu's father's thanks and rejection. As a result, after being tossed by these officials, other residents in the small building realized that the Wu son actually became the secretary-general of the Mining Municipal Party Committee.

Faced with what happened at home and his personal experiences over the past few days, Wu Hao understood why Emperor Song Zhao Heng would say: "There is a golden house in the book, and the beautiful woman in the book!" The career of the government is smooth, and there is no worries about the mansion and the beauty is like clouds.

For several days, Wu Hao, who was worried about this matter, has been thinking about how to report this to Secretary Xu. It is gradually only six days before the New Year. It was just dawn that morning. Wu Hao personally drove a car and took a truck of New Year goods to the provincial capital to pay New Year's greetings. After a struggle in his heart, he finally reported to Secretary Xu implicitly. However, Secretary Xu just smiled and said to him: "Xiao Wu! Our China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times. Traditionally, he paid great attention to gifts and exchanges. Giving gifts has become the most communicative way of expressing feelings and is particularly prominent in festivals. In addition, many people in our officialdom currently regard giving gifts as a channel for promotion or appreciation by leaders.

, And you are now my secretary, the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee and the head of the comprehensive section, so you have become the object of currying favor for many people. As you develop on your future career, such things will continue to happen in the future, and the means of giving gifts will emerge one after another. Those who are not doing their jobs and want to be officials will compete to observe you and then consider their preferences. Just like we are now going to greet the leaders of the province, the subordinates give their superiors, one level at a time, as long as the gifts are not very expensive, and you can grasp the degree yourself. In fact, this is also a channel for you to accumulate political capital. Under the general situation, if you want to be alone, you will not want to develop in the career path in the end. While you have the ability, you must also learn to socialize."

When Wu Hao heard Secretary Xu's words, he gradually fell into deep thought. Although he did not understand what Secretary Xu said very much, he knew that Secretary Xu's ability to say this to him was not just a relationship between superiors and subordinates, but also contained a kind of selfless teaching by the elders to the younger generation.
