pinnacle of power

Still holding the pipa and half covering his face, Fan Guopeng took office very calmly and low-key.

Even Fan Guopeng himself is still in a daze, not knowing why.

Yesterday afternoon, Fan Guopeng was chatting and playing cards with several senior cadres at the house of an old cadre, but suddenly received a call from an old friend. The old friend was very excited to congratulate Fan Guopeng on his appointment as the Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee one thing.

Fan Guopeng was stunned at the time, he said why didn't I know?Fan Guopeng's friend was also shocked.

Later, Fan Guopeng remembered that someone from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee had talked to him two days ago. The understanding of the situation and the relevant understanding of the work of the municipal party committee.

At that time, Fan Guopeng felt that the director of the organization department was very interesting. He was a little confused by the questions he asked, but he still answered them seriously.He also thought about whether he was lucky enough to be promoted to the secretary general of the municipal party committee.But this kind of thought is just a flash. In his opinion, without background and backing, it is not even a thought to be promoted to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.

But he never expected that he would suddenly hear the news that he would be a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee.

After this old friend's call, Fan Guopeng's mobile phone was not quiet for a moment, and congratulatory calls came one after another. The veteran cadres saw the situation and asked Fan Guopeng to deal with it quickly.Everyone was also very happy for Fan Guopeng.

Among other things, Fan Guopeng's work attitude and ability are recognized by everyone, and he can make progress in his career, which everyone is very willing to see.

This night was a sleepless night for Fan Guopeng.Because he did receive the appointment papers.

The next morning, Fan Guopeng went to Tiandu City to take up his post accompanied by a deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee.

After some procedures, the leader of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee left, and Fan Guopeng officially took office.

Although Fan Guopeng took office as a new official, his heart was still full of doubts.He knew very well that the reason why he was able to become the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee must be highly recognized by the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Liu Qingyu, but why did Liu Qingyu use himself, who was almost marginalized?

With doubts, Fan Guopeng came to Liu Qingyu's office, sat down respectfully opposite Liu Qingyu, and said with a smile: "Hi Secretary Liu, I'm here to report to you."

Liu Qingyu looked at Fan Guopeng's square face with Chinese characters, and smiled slightly: "Comrade Fan Guopeng, how are you? Are you still used to the current job? Just tell me if there is anything that needs my coordination. I hope you can adapt to the current job as soon as possible." Work, take up the work of the municipal party committee."

Fan Guopeng nodded: "Secretary Liu, although I have just started working on the municipal committee, I have no problem getting used to it, but I still have some things I don't understand, and I want to ask you for advice."

Liu Qingyu smiled: "You ask?"

"Secretary Liu, why is it me? I feel that, no matter in terms of qualifications or contacts, there are many people in Tiandu Province and even Tiandu who are more suitable for the position of Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee than me." Fan Guopeng responded to this question. He attaches great importance to it, so when he speaks, his expression is very serious.

Liu Qingyu stared at Fan Guopeng's face for a few seconds, and then said calmly: "Do you think the position of Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee should be arranged according to seniority? Or should it be arranged according to personal connections? "

Fan Guopeng frowned slightly: "Arranging according to these two methods is unreasonable and unfair."

Liu Qingyu nodded: "Isn't that the way to go? Since you also think that these two arrangements are unreasonable, why should I accept these two arrangements for the candidate for the position of Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee? The reason why I The reason why I selected you to be the Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee is that I have carefully studied your resume, and I can see that you are a very capable and principled person, and you have been able to work steadily in the Bureau of Veteran Cadres for so many years. It has been six or seven years, and you have been highly recognized by the veteran cadres, which shows that over the years, your edges and corners have become much smoother. Now, it is the time when you are in the prime of life. So, why don't I appoint you as the municipal party committee Where's the Secretary?"

Fan Guopeng was taken aback, then hesitated: "Secretary Liu, but I'm not your direct descendant, so don't you worry that I will cause you trouble?"

Liu Qingyu smiled: "Comrade Fan Guopeng, you still underestimate me, Liu Qingyu. Although you are not my direct descendant, so what? As long as you can do your job well, as long as you If you don't get corrupt or don't violate discipline and principles, then that's ok. As for whether you are my direct descendant, it has nothing to do with me using you.

Many people like to appoint direct descendants because direct descendants know your political views and can be consistent with your political views and ideas.To a certain extent, it is reasonable to appoint direct descendants.

Of course, for me, my point of view on employing people is to make the best use of people, make the best use of things, and use talents only.As long as you are really talented and have official virtue, then I am willing to use you, even if your political views are inconsistent with mine, I don't care, even if you sing against me on the standing committee, as long as you can understand your political views The point of view is responsible, as long as your starting point is not for personal self-interest but for the entire city and the common people. "

Speaking of this, Liu Qingyu changed the subject: "Of course, I use you. In addition to the factors I just mentioned, one of your major advantages is also what I value, that is, you and the veteran cadres are very harmonious. Although I have been working in Tiandu for about half a year, after all, I was transferred from other provinces and have no foundation in the local area. Therefore, if I want to gain a firm foothold, I must have a full understanding of the local conditions , At the same time, I also like to get the support of veteran cadres. Because the veteran cadres are experienced people, they know the situation in Tiandu very well, and their ruling experience is very helpful to me. And you can be the first bridge among them."

Liu Qingyu also spoke directly. After he finished speaking, Fan Guopeng suddenly realized.However, there was a little more recognition in the eyes looking at Liu Qingyu.

Because Liu Qingyu didn't hide his words, everything was on the table, and this was more in line with Fan Guopeng's personality.

Fan Guopeng hesitated for a moment, but said honestly: "Secretary Liu, first of all, I would like to thank you for your recognition and trust in me, but, I think, before I officially start work, I still have to explain my principles as an official. , my personality is relatively strong and stubborn. If I think that my opinion on something is correct, unless you can convince me, otherwise, I will definitely follow my way of thinking. So, I dare not say that I will agree with you on everything in the Standing Committee. I will resolutely implement your instructions and do all the duties of the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, but I want to keep my The power to think alone and act alone. I don’t want to be just an orderly running up and down.”

Liu Qingyu smiled: "Comrade Fan Guopeng, I don't think your request is too much, and I don't like that kind of headache, especially in normal work, as long as you don't make mistakes in the general direction, as long as you do not make mistakes You can be the master of your duties, and I will not interfere with you. Moreover, the job of secretary-general of the municipal party committee requires that the secretary-general of the municipal party committee must have sufficient independent thinking and responsibility."

Fan Guopeng let out a long sigh of relief again. For the sake of Liu Qingyu being able to say what he said, he would not say anything more.

After this serious and long talk, both sides have figured out where the bottom line of the other side is.

From the beginning to the end, Secretary Jiang Shen sat silently in the outer office. The door of the inner office was not closed tightly, but was ajar, so he could hear clearly what was said inside.

After Fan Guopeng left, Jiang Shen was called into the office by Liu Qingyu. Liu Qingyu asked with a smile, "Jiang Shen, what do you think of Fan Guopeng, the Secretary-General?"

Jiang Shen pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "In terms of talking style, I prefer Fan Guopeng's style. I talk about everything in front of my face, and I don't make small moves behind my back. From this point of view, He is much stronger than Hu Ruilin. On the surface, Hu Ruilin is fine and good, but behind his back, he keeps making small moves. But when it comes to the specifics of this person, I think we should listen to his words and observe his actions."

Liu Qingyu nodded with satisfaction: "Well, Jiang Shen, you are much more stable than when you first started."

Jiang Shen also smiled.Having been by Liu Qingyu's side for a long time, and having experienced so many things, it's hard for him to be immature.What's more, Liu Qingyu often gave him advice.

"Jiang Shen, regardless of rational analysis, what kind of person do you think Fan Guopeng is based on your feelings?" Liu Qingyu continued to ask in depth.

Jiang Shen thought for a while and said slowly: "Secretary Liu, Secretary-General Fan Guopeng gives me the feeling that he is unfathomable, and I can't see through him."

Liu Qingyu smiled.He still agrees with Jiang Shen's judgment.This shows that Jiang Shen's current level has improved rapidly.

In the next few days, Fan Guopeng began to adapt to the post of secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee. In the past few days, the whole city was calm and there was no big storm for the time being.

A week later, Fan Guopeng came to Liu Qingyu's office, holding a stack of documents in his hand, gently placed them on Liu Qingyu's desk and said in a low voice, "Secretary Liu, these are the application materials for poor counties this year."

Liu Qingyu didn't read the materials immediately, but asked with a smile: "Comrade Guopeng, I think you should have read these materials? I won't read them for now, I want to hear your point of view first. "
