"Okay, Ximeng, you should be more serious about your work in the future. If you are really incompetent at one task, I will not leave you alone like my predecessor Duan Xiaoming did."
"I only have one principle: whoever can do things and take on the responsibilities is a good cadre."
"I don't accept gifts, and I don't care about my connections. If I don't do something well, no matter who it is, they will be transferred out of the department I manage."
"Ximeng, take care of yourself and go out."
Zhang Pengfei took a puff of his cigarette and waved his hand, signaling Wu Ximeng and Gong Xiaochang to go out.
Wu Ximeng suddenly knew that she was in trouble, and quickly twisted her slim body.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared at the door of Zhang Pengfei's office.
When Wu Ximeng left, Gong Xiaochang had a gentle look on his face. He looked at Director Zhang Pengfei and wanted to say something, but seemed a little unable to speak.
Seeing Gong Xiaochang's hesitant look, Zhang Pengfei couldn't help but froze.
Does Gong Xiaochang have other things?
Deputy Secretary Chen Xiaolei was very satisfied with his revised speech. Could it be that he told Gong Xiaochang about something else?
Zhang Pengfei gestured to Gong Xiaochang, "Do you have something to talk about? Close the door first."
When Gong Xiaochang heard what Director Zhang Pengfei said, a very touched look appeared on his face, and he quickly closed the door of Zhang Pengfei's office.
Then, he slowly sat on the sofa in Zhang Pengfei's office.
"Director, I have figured out the matter you talked to me about this morning and will report it to you."
Gong Xiaochang stared closely at Zhang Pengfei's handsome face with narrowed eyes, looking very sincere.
What did we talk about this morning? Zhang Pengfei thought for a moment.
What we talked about this morning was about asking this guy to go with him to Jingtian Town, Hemi County to serve as deputy secretary. Could it be that Gong Xiaochang wants to go again?
"Come and listen." Zhang Pengfei also wanted to hear what Gong Xiaochang wanted to say.
"Director, you asked me to go to the grassroots towns with you this morning, but I refused."
"But now I've figured it out, it's better to go to the grassroots level and practice again, so that I can grow my real talents and work hard."
"I am willing to go to Jingtian Town with you and help you handle the relevant work in the town. It is indeed a bit difficult for you to go down alone."
"I have worked at the grassroots level in townships. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. For many things, you need someone who is familiar with it before you can use it there."
"Following you, Director, makes me feel at ease."
As soon as Gong Xiaochang said these words, Zhang Pengfei's face instantly became serious.
This bastard, I asked you to go this morning, but you didn’t want to go, and now you’ve changed your mind?
Doesn't this pose a problem for me? Secretary Duan on Luo Zhilin's side agreed. How could he push you, Gong Xiaochang, over temporarily?
Zhang Pengfei took a puff of his cigarette and widened his big eyes.
"Xiaochang, I think it would be more appropriate for you to do it at the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee Office."
"The number of deputy directors in Division 1 is two, and now there is exactly one vacancy."
"In the department, your writing skills, coordination skills, and interpersonal skills are much better than other cadres."
"Work hard in one place. I will ask the relevant leaders of the municipal party committee office to either transfer you here as soon as possible, or directly promote you to the first comprehensive division of the municipal party committee office as deputy director."
"You have been a fourth-level chief section officer for almost two years. It's time to consider promoting you to a deputy section level position."
Zhang Pengfei shook the cigarette butt in his hand and smiled slightly at the capable man next to him.
"Director, what I said is true. I still want to go to the grassroots level and do something with you."
Gong Xiaochang's attitude became a little firmer, and Zhang Pengfei felt a little suspicious of the guy in front of him.
"Xiaochang, to be honest with you, I asked for your opinion this morning, but you don't want to go."
"I reported to Secretary Duan. Secretary Duan has appointed Luo Zhilin, acting deputy director of the First Division of the Municipal Government Office, and plans to transfer her there."
"So, it's not that I don't let you go. Once Luo Zhilin goes, you don't have to go."
"But I'm curious. Your thoughts in the morning have changed a lot. Did someone tell you something?"
Zhang Pengfei casually picked up the cigarette and threw one to Gong Xiaochang, trying to make this guy relax so that he could hear the truth in his heart.
"Don't be nervous. Let's talk about it. As your director, I have absolute trust in you, so I brought you to the Municipal Party Committee Office."
"If you don't tell the truth in front of me, then I can only send you back to the hotline office of the Municipal Administrative Approval Bureau."
Zhang Pengfei sat up straight and stared at Gong Xiaochang again.
To be honest, Zhang Pengfei didn't like talking to the people around him in this tone, but Gong Xiaochang's attitude changed a bit quickly, so he had to think more about it.
Zhang Pengfei is now the director of the First Comprehensive Division of the Municipal Party Committee Office, and is in charge of seven or eight cadres.
This time, he was appointed as the secretary of the town committee of Jingtian Town, Hemi County, and managed the township cadre No. 60. This forced him to re-examine the cadres below.
As the saying goes, when you are a leader, even if you are a serious and practical leader, if you manage so many cadres below, you have to start looking at people.
In other words, once you become a small leading cadre, your work can no longer be based on daily work. The main job of a leader is to look after and employ people.
If you can't even see the people below you, then this position will capsize at any time.
Because people should be employed without suspicion and those with suspicion should not be used. This is an everlasting iron law of officialdom.
After hearing Zhang Pengfei's words, Gong Xiaochang's face instantly turned red.
"Director, what you said is correct. My thoughts changed a bit quickly. Someone gave me a heads up."
"It's Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Chen Xiaolei. He saw that the speech I revised for him today was of good quality, so he gave me a speech, mainly about you."
As soon as Gong Xiaochang said these words, his whole body trembled.
As soon as Zhang Pengfei heard Deputy Secretary Chen Xiaolei talking about himself to Gong Xiaochang, his heart tightened immediately.
It is crucial for a dignified deputy secretary of the municipal party committee to comment on himself as the liaison officer of the municipal party committee secretary in front of others.
Because Chen Xiaolei, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, assists Secretary Duan in controlling personnel power in the city, his opinions are very important.
This is related to whether I can be promoted to the deputy department post normally after completing my temporary post in the township below.
"Oh? What did Secretary Chen tell you? It doesn't matter if you say it. We can talk about anything. Don't worry, our conversation today will not be spread."
Zhang Pengfei gave Gong Xiaochang a reassurance.
At this time, Gong Xiaochang's expression began to relax. He quickly lit the cigarette and smiled awkwardly at Zhang Pengfei.
