Chapter 35 Calculation
Director Zhou’s name is Zhou Yongchang. Everyone knows the superficial meaning of the word “Yongchang”, and only Zhou Yongchang himself is probably known to him. In fact, he is not a completely profit-oriented villain, but in the past few years in Wubei Town, Zhou Yongchang learned a truth from the dark officialdom and ruthless reality, that is, he will never be unique, because this will only be abandoned by the popular trends that cannot tolerate different kinds of people. It is precisely because he began to imitate the style of his colleagues. He is greedy, but he is not thorough, he is evil, but he is not fierce, and he is in a very awkward position and is also a position that is very easy to be attacked.
It is precisely because of his incompetence that he was not as mature as his colleagues when speaking and doing things. He seemed to think that the world was as dark as a crow. The mayor in front of him was just a show-off. Over time, his fox tail would slowly leak out. Zhou Yongchang looked at Liu Zhenhua from fear to relaxation, and then from ease to indifference. In the end, he even said to Liu Zhenhua in a semi-threatening tone: "If the mayor thinks that what I did is wrong and cannot compete for the position, then I will resign. Please ask the mayor to find another talent."
After all, Liu Zhenhua was considered a person who had experienced the storm. How could he be scared by the little director of a small place? Looking at Zhou Yongchang's expression of throwing apart, Liu Zhenhua couldn't help laughing, but he still said seriously: "Director Zhou, have you considered it clearly? Do you really want to resign?"
Zhou Yongchang felt that Liu Zhenhua was blaming him. He relied on the support of his subordinates, and felt that Liu Zhenhua did not dare to be an enemy of him openly, nor did he dare to accept his resignation. Therefore, he said fearlessly: "Master, I have considered it."
"Since you insist on this, I have nothing to say. Although you are not yet retired, I think you are an old official with many years of military achievements and have made an exception to let you enjoy retirement benefits." After that, before Zhou Yongchang could regret it, Liu Zhenhua called Liu Xiangying in and asked Liu Xiangying to start working on Zhou Yongchang's retirement matters.
Zhou Yongchang originally thought that he was just a polite exchange and deceiving Liu Zhenhua, but he never expected that Liu Zhenhua would be like a swamp, hitting him, and instead he would sink into his mud.
Zhou Yongchang's pride disappeared, replaced by a bitter melon look. He realized that something was wrong and quickly changed his words: "Master, you...can you really want to fire me, right?"
"Director Zhou, what you said is wrong. You first proposed to resign. Why did you falsely accus me of dismissing you now?" Liu Zhenhua said seriously on the surface, but in fact he had already snickered in his heart. In his opinion, Zhou Yongchang was just a joke. The poor "advance and retreat" strategy, used in his hands, really ruined the wisdom of his ancestors.
To be honest, Liu Zhenhua and Zhou Yongchang have no grudges. If Zhou Yongchang had fulfilled his duties today and showed a little bit of the justice that the director should have, Liu Zhenhua would not do anything about him. However, he could not clearly put his position and could not weigh the interests of both parties, which made Liu Zhenhua unbearable. Since Zhou Yongchang was a wolf that could not be completely controlled, Liu Zhenhua simply exiled him, and then cultivated a trustworthy wolf to protect himself.
Zhou Yongchang's face can now be described in one word, that is, "colorful", sometimes white, sometimes red, sometimes a little white, very interesting. He just wanted Liu Zhenhua to know his ability, and did not want Liu Zhenhua to underestimate him, but he did not expect that he would backfire and instead caught Liu Zhenhua's words, which caught him off guard. He looked bleak and said regretfully: "Master, I... I was joking just now, don't take it seriously~"
Liu Zhenhua pretended to be surprised and said, "Zhou Yongchang, you are considered an old cadre. How can you joke about this kind of thing? Do you think I just came to take office and it is insignificant and can say anything in front of me? Could it be that I didn't take me as the mayor seriously?"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood, mayor, I absolutely do not have this intention. I just said that it was entirely because justice was misinterpreted and could not protect the interests of the people. You must not take it seriously when you say it in a hurry." Zhou Yongchang said in a panic and impatient manner. Although he was a person with a certain status, when his official title was about to be deprived, he still gave up his face and presented it to Liu Zhenhua in a soft manner.
Seeing Zhou Yongchang surrender, Liu Zhenhua couldn't help but sneer in his heart. It was because there were too many people like Zhou Yongchang who were reckless and had no principled bottom line that the world was full of losers. Liu Zhenhua never had any sympathy for losers. He had a stern face and said with a slightly tough tone: "Since I'm talking about this, I want to ask you, how do you define the word 'justice'? How do you understand the 'people'?"
"I..." Zhou Yongchang couldn't say it. In his opinion, justice and the interests of the people were just high-sounding nonsense, and he could not get deeper enlightenment from it.
Liu Zhenhua sneered: "If justice is bullying the weak, the interests of the people are to protect the small number of powerful people. You should not be fine if you call justice and the interests of the people. Director Zhou, my secretary has already started your retirement matters. Now it is too late to say more. You can retire peacefully and go home to enjoy your old age." Liu Zhenhua's tone seemed relaxed, but in fact he was tough. There is no doubt that anyone with a discerning eye could see it.
"Mayor, listen to me, I'm just..."
Liu Zhenhua did not listen to Zhou Yongchang's longing anymore, called Liu Xiangying in, rubbed her temples with one hand, and said a little tired: "Xiangying, see off the guests."
Liu Xiangying took out the secretary and had the courage to walk to Zhou Yongchang. She asked for advice in a very generous manner: "Director Zhou, please!"
Seeing that Liu Zhenhua was already greedy for weight loss, Zhou Yongchang gritted his teeth and said nothing, and followed Liu Xiangying out. However, after leaving Liu Zhenhua's office, his face changed from regret to viciousness. He said to himself: "Hmph! I have promoted the entire Wubei Police Station, so I won't let me be the director? Let me see who else can be the director!" After that, he made more than a dozen calls, one of which was called the deputy mayor.
For a reckless person like Zhou Yongchang, Liu Zhenhua could think of anything he was thinking with his toes, but he didn't dare to be interested at all. He held his head with his hands, closed his eyebrows slightly, and said to Heshen with a little tiredness: "Lao He, I have just taken office for a few days and I have been rubbing the director of the local police station. Are you too eager for quick success and instant benefits?"
Heshen knew Liu Zhenhua's difficulties and understood Liu Zhenhua's difficulties, but he still retained his opinions and said calmly in a uniform tone: "Xiaohua, a real man is in this world, pay attention to two words. Do you know what it is?"
"What?"
"decisive!"
Heshen Gujing Wubo said: "Now the emphasis on equality between men and women, but facts have proved that most successful people in the world are men, and most of the world's top fields are monopolized by men. This is precisely because women lack the decisiveness of men and the spirit of daring to think and fight. Looking at the thousand years of China, who is a successful emperor who is not decisive in killing and not dragging on the slightest? This decisiveness is something that women cannot understand, but is the most beneficial method for men to control the current situation!"
Liu Zhenhua knew what Heshen meant, and could understand it, but he was worried about it now. He said worriedly: "Lao He, although decisive is good, I am afraid that it will be too decisive, but I scared some people to be so brave that they will openly confront me. Now I am doing people's livelihood, benefiting the people, and I really can't get out of my spare time to deal with those people. Not to mention the distance, just take Zhou Yongchang as an example. He is now from the lineage of Deputy Mayor Guo Hongsheng. His fall is a great weakening of Guo Hongsheng's power. I am afraid that Guo Hongsheng will be forced to be impatient. After all, if you are anxious, you can still jump over the wall."
Weighing interests is Heshen’s specialty. He can always find a balance point in seemingly conflicting relationships to dominate both parties. He said: “Don’t care. Thinking too much will blind your eyes. Even if you vent your anger on him, you can’t stop. After all, you have just arrived in Wubei Town for a few days and need to cultivate one or two trustworthy and useful confidants. Don’t you have a strong friend Sun Bai? Director Zhou’s fall this time, you can promote Sun Bai to your director and cultivate it into your wings.”
Liu Zhenhua had thought about promoting Sun Bai to director, but he had many concerns: "Old He, it is naturally good to promote Sun Bai to director, but he is just a small policeman. Whether it is qualifications or seniority, it is difficult to convince the public. If he blindly trains him to director, it may be criticized. To put it nicely, we are called cultivating a new generation. It sounds bad. We are developing our party members and trying to control the overall situation."
Heshen, who had always been calm and sophisticated, couldn't help laughing. This laugh was not a ridicule, but a smile of praise. After being with Liu Zhenhua for so long, Liu Zhenhua gradually grew from a foolish young man to a person who could think and have certain strategies and strategies. His growth in this made Heshen very pleased.
Heshen said lightly: "Since you have discovered the problem, you should solve it. The difference between successful people and losers is that losers always retreat when facing difficulties, while successful people will be invincible and will still move forward bravely in the face of difficulties. In fact, as long as you exert the ability of the mayor, what you think is a problem is not a problem."
