Because I heard that there was some resistance when it was proposed that you be the acting mayor of Shangjiang City. Some people said that you were too young and had insufficient work experience. But judging from the current situation, it shows that Secretary Fang’s vision of people is

Very unique. When he praised you today, he was actually telling those who had objections to your appointment that he was right. You should understand the truth, right?"

I looked at her in surprise, "I have never heard of this."

She smiled and continued: "That's not important. What's important is that you have been working very hard. To be honest, I am also very lucky because I have a down-to-earth mayor like you to cooperate with me. Mayor Feng

, let’s work hard together for several years to build our Shangjiang City into a brand new city, and hand over a satisfactory answer sheet to the people of the city, and to the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, so that we will not let down the people and the organization.

expectations for us.”

I smiled and said, "Secretary Rong, don't worry. First, I will carry out and complete every task assigned by the municipal party committee. Second, I will do everything possible to find ways to speed up the progress of our various projects in Shangjiang City. Rong

Secretary, you are very strong in all aspects, including your ability and your conduct. You will definitely have more room for development in the future. As for me, I will always follow you closely. I hope you don’t think that I am too capable."

Sometimes such flattery is also a necessity, at least it will not make her think that I am dangerous. In fact, it is also a way of showing weakness. Of course, the weakness I am showing at the moment is real and not to cover up my ambitions.

.I have no so-called ambition in the first place, how can I cover it up?

She smiled and said: "Why are you saying such things to me? Mayor Feng, you don't need to be cautious in front of me. Really. I know your concerns and thoughts. Secretary Fang asked you some questions today,

Are you worried that others will say you are pushy? What does this have to do with you? Secretary Fang is asking you, and you have to answer. Yes, you answered brilliantly. That is because of your knowledge structure and because you are good at it.

The result of thinking. There are so many talented people in the world today, but everyone’s talents are different. If others want to be jealous, can they be jealous? Haha! Mayor Feng, so, your worries and caution are

It’s not necessary. What do you think?”

I immediately understood that what she said to me was more of a statement than enlightenment. She was showing me that she could not be wary of me because of what happened today.

In fact, I also believe that she is not so narrow-minded, and I don’t believe that she will guard against me, because I pose no threat to her at all. In any case, she is the municipal party committee secretary, and I am currently only the acting mayor. But

But I had to be cautious, because after all, there was something about Secretary Chen ahead of me, and sometimes rumors can be very scary.

I said to her gratefully: "Secretary Rong, you are right. I have great weaknesses in my character, and I know this very well. I have always had one requirement for myself, and that is to

Live your life separately and try your best to do everything you can at the moment."

She nodded and said: "Yes, I understand this very well. Mayor Feng, I also know that you may have been more cautious because of Lao Chen's affairs. In fact, what does his matter have to do with you? At that time, you were just the general manager

Vice Mayor, even if you are the mayor, you can't possibly change his position. In fact, he was defeated by his own hands. Anyone with a discerning eye can see this clearly."

I sighed in my heart: That's what I said, but there are some things you don't know. I said to her gratefully: "Secretary Rong, thank you for your understanding. But I am thinking that in this officialdom, first of all, we must

Change the rules. You are the municipal party committee secretary, and I am your deputy. I will implement the instructions you give to the letter. If I have different opinions, I should communicate with you privately. In the end, your opinions will prevail.

This is the rule, not caution. Secretary Rong, don’t you think so?"

She immediately laughed, "You, you are so eloquent, I can't speak to you. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. In short, we just need to do our own things well. Today, Secretary Fang told us about work matters

There are not many instructions, but he is indeed very concerned about the development of our Shangjiang City. There is no doubt about this. Otherwise, he would not come to our dinner today. There are so many prefecture-level cities in the province, and they all want to

I invited him to dinner and wanted to report to him in person, but he couldn't meet them one by one. So, we have to work hard and achieve good results. Otherwise, we will not be able to see him in the future."

I thought to myself: This is indeed the case, but maybe this matter is not that simple? Of course, there are some things I cannot ask. I smiled and said: "I understand."

She looked at the time and said, "Okay, it's really cold outside. I'm going home first. You should also pay attention to rest."

I hurriedly said to her: "Okay. I'm going back to rest too. I'll go to several banks tomorrow."

She immediately went with me to say goodbye to our Shangjiang City People's Congress Director and CPPCC Chairman. While we were talking just now, everyone else entered the restaurant.

The first thing I did after returning home was to find "Historical Records" from the bookshelf and put it on the desk, ready to take a bath before reading it carefully. I had been thinking about this on the way back:

Why did Secretary Fang ask me to read "Historical Records" carefully, and also specifically mentioned to me the "Aristocratic Family" part of "Historical Records"?

I was thinking that after asking me two test questions, he should know that I have read the book "Historical Records". Does he also know that I have not studied it seriously? No, that can't be the case.

If that's the case, wouldn't he become a god?

After leaving the study room, the child ran to me. When I came back just now, he was in the toilet. Now that he saw me, he insisted on asking me to play with him. I said to the child: "Dad has something to do today. You

Play by yourself."

The mother said from the side: "This year is about to end, how many times have you been with him?"

I felt guilty, so I couldn't say anything more, so I had to put aside taking a bath and reading for the time being.

However, after I played with my child for a while, my cell phone suddenly rang. I picked it up and found that it was Lin Yu. I hurriedly left my child and went to the bedroom to answer the call.

Her voice said, "Feng Xiao, you Shangjiang City invited the leaders of the provincial party committee to dinner today, right? How is the situation?"

I thought to myself: It’s not surprising that she knows the news. Maybe she has been preparing to invite Secretary Fang in the past two days. But one thing I know is that it is not convenient for her to ask others about our meal today. Maybe she

She asked me what happened tonight because she cares about me, and maybe to find out some information that interests her.

I said, "Yes. I just finished my meal and came home not long ago. I invited Secretary Fang and the others to have a meal and reported to him on the work."

She smiled and asked me: "How is it? How does Secretary Fang evaluate your work? How does Secretary Fang evaluate you personally?"

I immediately understood: After all, I am her first-hand cadre, so she cares very much about Secretary Fang’s evaluation of me. In the final analysis, this means that both will gain and lose. I replied hastily: “Secretary Fang still thinks highly of our work.

Basically satisfied, we reported some work matters to him and also talked about some difficulties we are currently encountering. He was originally a little worried about our excessive investment in urban construction, but after Secretary Rong and

After my explanation, he felt relieved."

She smiled and said: "That's good. Then, he should be in a good mood today, right?"

I replied: "Yes, it looks pretty good. He recited a poem by Wang Anshi as soon as he arrived at our dining place today..."

Immediately, I briefly told her the questions that Secretary Fang asked me specifically today, and then asked her: "Sister, why do you think Secretary Fang wants me to read "Historical Records" seriously, and especially

What’s the part that emphasizes that I should study in aristocratic families?”

She pondered and said: "This...if we are in politics, it seems that we should read "Zi Zhi Tong Jian". Although "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" is as famous as "Historical Records", it has great influence on future generations.

The role of emperors and politicians seems to be greater. Since "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" was written, emperors, generals, ministers, literati, and dignitaries from all walks of life have been eager to read it. They have commented on the emperors and wise ministers who commented on "Zi Zhi Tong Jian"

, there are countless politicians, thinkers, and scholars from Confucianism to modern times. As a textbook for kings of all dynasties, Zizhi Tongjian is praised as such. Except for "Historical Records", almost no historical work can compare with "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".

"Zizhi Tongjian" is comparable to... Well, I think that when Secretary Fang asked you to read the book "Historical Records", he probably meant that you should start with "Historical Records" and then read in depth.

"Zi Zhi Tong Jian" right?"

I didn’t take it seriously, “Sister, why did he specifically ask me to read the part about the aristocratic family?”

She said: "Yes... "Historical Records" is divided into ten tables, eight books, twelve records, thirty aristocratic families, and seventy biographies. The 'Ben Ji' records the affairs of the emperors and describes the highest rulers in the past dynasties.

Political deeds are generally written in a chronological way; 'tables' are important events in various historical periods, which are the connection and supplement to the narrative of the whole book; 'books' respectively describe the development and development of astronomy, calendar, water conservancy, economy, culture, art, etc.

The current situation; 'Aristocratic Family' mainly describes the history of nobles and princes; 'Biography' mainly contains biographies of various types, different classes, and different professional figures, which also records the development history of foreign and domestic ethnic minorities. Let me think about it.

..... "Aristocratic family" records the affairs of the princes and kingdoms. Because the princes founded the country and inherited the family, their descendants were hereditary, so their biographies were called aristocratic families. Starting from the great feudalism in the Western Zhou Dynasty, it developed to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Each vassal state came to dominate one after another and flourished for a while. It is very appropriate to use the genre of "family" to describe this situation. Sima Qian also included Confucius and Chen She in the "family", which is an exception. Although Confucius was not a prince, he

However, he was the patriarch who inherited the culture of three generations. What's more, Confucianism was the dominant one during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Confucius was the founder of Confucianism. His inclusion in the "Aristocratic Family" also reflected the reality of the ideological field at that time. As for Chen She, not only was he the first to revolt and fall

The leader of the Qin Dynasty, he was the first person in three generations to raise an army against the brutal rule of the Qin Dynasty, and he was responsible for most of the princes and princes who destroyed the Qin Dynasty. Sima Qian included them in the "Aristocratic Family" and combined his achievements with those of Tang Dynasty.

Compared with Fang Jie, King Wu defeated Zhou, and Confucius wrote "Spring and Autumn", writing him as a great historical hero who shook the rule of the Qin Empire and dominated the situation reflects the author's progressive view of history. Well, I understand somewhat. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are not

Did you shout a slogan like "Princes, generals, would you rather have your own kind?"? Maybe Secretary Fang wants you to be more confident, not to feel inferior, and to work boldly. Feng Xiao, do you think he is like this?

mean?"

I suddenly felt that her analysis seemed to make some sense. I smiled bitterly and said, "Where do I have so many ideas?"

She smiled and said: "Isn't that right? You have no confidence at all. What you just said made this problem clear at once. Look at me, didn't I also come from a poor family? Now I have become a member of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee.

Minister? Therefore, a person should not feel inferior, but must build up his own confidence. This is the most important thing. Feng Xiao, congratulations. It seems that Secretary Fang loves you very much. This is great.

Yes! First, if you can gain his appreciation, at least he will not think that I am nepotistic in my employment. Second, if he really appreciates you, then maybe you can say a few nice words in front of him on behalf of my sister in the future.

.These are all good things? Do you think so?"

I hurriedly said: "Sister, don't say that, I still need your continued care."

She immediately said to me seriously: "Feng Xiao, although your current level is lower than mine, it is not much lower. I am a female cadre, and I did take a shortcut on the issue of promotion, because the higher-ups require that people in various places

There must be women in the team. This is my luck. But female cadres also have the shortcomings of female cadres. If you look at the situation across the country, the ones who really hold important power in the teams at all levels are still dominated by men. This is inherently a problem.

It’s a world dominated by men. So, if you are really appreciated by Secretary Fang, your future future will be limitless. Feng Xiao, you must cherish this opportunity, work hard, and be a low-key person.

This is very important. Do you understand?"

What she said was similar to what Lin Yi said to me, but I always felt something was wrong in my heart, because I knew myself, and I felt that my true level and ability simply could not meet the requirements of a higher position. To be honest, now

It's already a bit difficult for me to be the mayor.

But it was impossible for me to tell Lin Yu about this, because I knew that she still had great confidence in me. I said: "Sister, to be honest, I haven't thought that far yet. Now I just want to

Just do the job you are doing well."

She smiled and said: "You...well, that's not a bad idea. It's safer to go step by step."

I said: "That's not entirely true. Sister, my idea is very simple, just don't give yourself so many expectations. Isn't there a saying like this? The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment will be. So,

I think it’s better to be more practical and do the present well.”

She immediately laughed, "Feng Xiao, this is the first time I have met someone like you in the officialdom. Well, go read your "Historical Records" and study hard. Maybe next time Secretary Fang will meet you.

When you are ready, I will ask you questions."

After she hung up the phone, I immediately went to the study room, feeling as if I was completing my homework.
Chapter completed!
