This is the first time that Xu Shaojie has been to Longnan Province for more than two years and has never enjoyed such an honor. It is not easy for the most senior leading cadres to go to home to have dinner. Although there are not many expensive dishes, the meanings expressed are very different. Therefore, Xu Shaojie quickly felt that it was not easy for Ouyang Yuntao to invite him to have dinner at home this time.

Xu Shaojie quickly went home and sorted it out a little. Ouyang Yuntao also lived in the villa area. The two families were only 200 meters apart. Xu Shaojie thought about it for a while and took two cigarettes from home and two bottles of white wine. He took it to Ouyang Yuntao's home. Shaojie's move has an unusual meaning. Since it is to go to the home for dinner, it is a common exchange. People all know that they should visit other people's homes and not go empty-handed. In this sense, Xu Shaojie temporarily downplayed the seriousness of the conversation between the two.

Ouyang Yuntao was sitting in the living room waiting for Xu Shaojie. When he saw Xu Shaojie carrying something in the door, Ouyang Yuntao didn't say much. Because today was a family dinner, Ouyang Yuntao had already arranged for his secretary to go home, and Xu Shaojie also did not bring his secretary.

The dishes have been prepared. It seems that this was specially prepared by Ouyang Yuntao. When he entered the restaurant, Xu Shaojie saw a few stir-fry dishes on the table, a three-fresh hot pot and a bottle of white wine. This is the most popular dish. Xu Shaojie smiled knowingly and sat down with Ouyang Yuntao at the same time.

Ouyang Yuntao personally opened the white wine and poured it on Xu Shaojie. At this time, Xu Shaojie would not refuse, nor would he take a bottle to pour the wine. Since he was visiting Ouyang Yuntao's house, he would be a guest. The guest would follow the host's wishes.

"Old Xu, come on, I will toast you first of all, thank you for your hard work."

"Thank you Secretary Ouyang."

Xu Shaojie was not polite. The two of them drank more than one tael of white wine in one gulp. Next, Xu Shaojie took the initiative to pick up the bottle, poured it on Ouyang Yuntao, and continued to pour it on himself.

"Oh, when I got to the position of the provincial party secretary, I rarely have time. I don't know what to do. I always have endless things to do and endless banquets. In fact, what I want most is to eat at home. The dishes in hotels and restaurants are not to support people. This time we are in the party's effectiveness. The requirements are still very strict. We are not allowed to take a secretary. We must sleep at the party school at night. There is no specialization. After a period of time, I adapted and felt that this arrangement is very good."

Xu Shaojie thought about his time when he was in the Party’s effectiveness. At that time, the management was far less strict. The party was rusty and every time the get out of class was over, the vehicles were filled with people. He was in the Party’s effectiveness. Many times, he did not live in the school dormitory, and no one asked such a request.

"Secretary Ouyang, sometimes, I also envy such a life. Because of my identity limitations, it is difficult for us to experience such a life. In fact, when we were studying, we lived such a life. The conditions were far from such good. The times have improved, and the lives of the masses have gradually improved, but we have also lost the atmosphere we used to be."

"Old Xu, what you said is right. Our life must adapt to many changes. This is how it is to be a leading cadre. In most cases, they are surrounded by halo and are sought after by many people. Some leading cadres cannot adapt to this situation, so they regard power as personal things and as tools for profit, which eventually leads to the degeneration and ruins their lives. It is a pity."

Xu Shaojie nodded, and did not speak, and the speed of drinking between the two slowed down.

"Only when I calm down and think, I can realize a lot of things. In the past, I was always busy with work and a lot of things. I didn't think of these things. This time I went to the Party School to study, and I thought of a lot of things."

"Secretary Ouyang, I also think that if you have such an opportunity to think about your past work carefully, it is a great reminder to yourself if you think about the past paths you have taken."

Ouyang Yuntao held up his wine glass and looked at Xu Shaojie, with a smile on his face meaningful.

"Old Xu, you don't have such an opportunity for the time being. You are still young and have a lot of things to do. I am old and have experienced so much, so I have time to calm down and think. The feelings I mentioned are not about you. You still need to work hard, so don't follow my thinking."

Xu Shaojie also raised his wine glass.

"Secretary Ouyang, I don't think so. Think about it, from the beginning of birth to the end of leaving the world, we should live to the age of 80 according to normal algorithms. From the time of birth, we have a carefree childhood, a teenager who studies hard, a young man who constantly explores, a middle-aged man who understands things and an old man who sees everything through. In fact, those who can work hard, that is, in the period of youth and middle-aged man, under normal circumstances, it is not easy to be able to work for 40 years. In fact, when a person reaches middle age, he should have to see many things clearly and have an accurate judgment of himself. A saying I often hear is that being an official is temporary, and being a human being is a lifetime."

Ouyang Yuntao's face was always smiling, but when Xu Shaojie said these words, Ouyang Yuntao looked very focused and did not interrupt.

"Old Xu, I don't think it's strange that you have such an idea. Your experience is different from many people. How to say it, you should be better than ordinary people in terms of vision and knowledge. I don't know why this happens. You have done a lot of work in Xishan Province and you have excellent political achievements."

"Secretary Ouyang, you have been awarded the award. I did what I should do and worked for him. I didn't expect that so many things were expected, but my position has been constantly changing and my vision must be broader."

"Old Xu, I always feel that you are too modest and low-key in dealing with things is a quality that senior leading cadres must possess. However, too modest is not good. In this regard, you still need to make some improvements. If you make achievements, no one can erase the credit."

Xu Shaojie nodded, without saying anything, the habit he developed over the years. It is not that simple to change it in a short period of time. However, Xu Shaojie is already paying attention to this issue. Sometimes, excessive modesty is a manifestation of pride in the eyes of others. Low-keyness exceeds a certain limit will be counterproductive.

The two of them had already drunk half of a bottle of wine. According to Xu Shaojie's understanding, it should be time to get to the point, and the atmosphere at this time is the best.

"Old Xu, in the afternoon, I had a discussion with the examination team of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee. I talked about a lot of things, some things that cannot be revealed according to principles, but I am old and ready to rest. Therefore, according to my own understanding, I think that some things are of great benefit to telling you. At least I think it will be a driving force for carrying out the work in Longnan Province."

Xu Shaojie's expression began to become serious, and this is probably the real purpose of Ouyang Yuntao's invitation to Xu Shaojie for dinner.

"The situation in Longnan Province is very complicated. You haven't been here for a long time, and you are at a very high starting point from the beginning. Some situations are normal to be unclear. You have been in charge of cadre work and know that the thoughts of cadres are the most complex and unpredictable. Many times, we want to figure it out, but it is difficult to succeed."

Ouyang Yuntao picked up the wine glass and gently sipped the wine.

"Zhou Yubo came to work in Longnan Province. According to my understanding, he is a reused object. Leading cadres working in the Political Research Office have a good grasp of policies, which is much better than our Eighth Route Army. However, the cadres from the Political Research Office also have their own shortcomings, which are more rigorous and flexible. Whether in the county, city or province, leading cadres need to have flexible thinking and cannot completely copy the above ideas. Otherwise, what else should we cadres do?"

"This time, Comrade Zhou Yubo has always been responsible for contacting and coordinating the examination work of the examination team of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee in Longnan Province. According to general practice, he should often exchange opinions with you, becoming a bridge of communication between the examination team and the provincial party committee and government. But I feel that Zhou Yubo seems to be unable to do this well, and I am afraid he is bound by principles."

"It's nothing strange that such a situation occurs. After all, Zhou Yubo's ideas have not been completely changed to their current position. What he thought of is that there are probably some work ideas and habits he followed when working on it is your task. Zhou Yubo is your right-hand man. During this year, you need to remind him from time to time."

"Speaking of this, I have saved a lot of things. When you come to Longnan Province to work, you will get into the role as soon as possible. I didn't worry about it at all. This is the difference between coming from above and coming from below. The leaders from above are very principled and needless to say, but the adaptation time is a little longer, and the cadres from below will adapt to it much faster. Such a difference will still exist in the future."

After Ouyang Yuntao's words came to an end, Xu Shaojie quickly answered.

"Comrade Zhou Yubo has done a good job and has adapted with the greatest effort. Fortunately, the work of the provincial party committee is also based on a macro perspective, and he has adapted very quickly."

Ouyang Yuntao's expression began to become serious, and he shook his head gently.

"Old Xu, you don't understand what I mean. What I mean is not to be familiar with my own work as soon as possible. My meaning is to change my mind. Zhou Yubo went to Longnan Province to work. In our words, he is his own family. He is no longer a central cadre. His words and deeds and actions need to be considered for the development of Longnan Province. What things may be detrimental to development and what things should be insisted on. He must have a clear attitude. He is not an imperial envoy. This must be changed in the shortest time, otherwise it will be difficult to make a difference."

Ouyang Yuntao always talks about Zhou Yubo. Although Xu Shaojie is strange, he knows that Ouyang Yuntao said this must make sense and must be for something.

"In the afternoon, I talked with the examination team for more than three hours and talked about a lot of things. The examination team also informed me of some situations. Although they repeatedly emphasized the need to keep confidential, they would not tell me what is really confidential. I still know such things. I believe that Zhou Yubo also knows some situations, but when the inspection team talks about confidentiality, Zhou Yubo really keeps confidentiality. Such thinking is not good."

Xu Shaojie had no expression on his face, but there was an idea in his heart. There was nothing strange about Zhou Yubo doing this. Perhaps it was because some leaders had emphasized it before, so Zhou Yubo seemed particularly cautious. However, in Xu Shaojie's previous performance, in accordance with the requirements of the central government, it was to implement it without any modifications. In underdeveloped areas, there were such problems. When implementing policies, some developed regions had the idea that when the central government implemented the policies, they dared to find ways to do anything that the central government did not prohibit them. However, in underdeveloped areas, they had the tenet of what the central government called it to do. The results of these two thinkings were completely different.

Xu Shaojie believes that this is probably the final conclusion that Ouyang Yuntao is about to retreat. After considering it for a lot of time, it is still good to have such an understanding.

"The so-called confidentiality is a deep understanding among our leaders at the level. We are completely clear about the things that should be kept secret. Today's conversation mainly focuses on two aspects. Today, I might as well explain it clearly here. Of course, don't disclose these things for the time being. You know, you are mentally prepared."

When talking about the key points, Ouyang Yuntao's expression also became serious. It seems that what he is going to talk about is really not a trivial matter.

Xu Shaojie has been immersed in such an atmosphere. According to Xu Shaojie's view, Ouyang Yuntao's shortcomings must be a reference, and there are specific things. Such things must have affected the overall development of Longnan Province. It is either related to Ouyang Yuntao or himself. It should not be a small matter. As for Long Jianfeng and Xie Zhiwei who have left Longnan Province, the possibility is not very high. "Their responsibility is obviously not very helpful to Longnan Province and will not have any practical effect.

Ouyang Yuntao's expression became serious, and Xu Shaojie's expression was equally serious. Xu Shaojie has been paying attention to this long time since the examination team of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and has never taken the initiative to contact the examination team, nor has he directly cared about the work of the examination team. Zhou Yubo was responsible for the relevant contacts and coordination. Now, Ouyang Yuntao directly pointed out Zhou Yubo's shortcomings. Then, what Ouyang Yuntao said must be related to the main leaders.

Xu Shaojie was still a little heavy. Zhou Yubo's performance did disappoint Xu Shaojie. If Zhou Yubo knew the inside story and just made his own proposal, he was unwilling to point it out clearly, this was not what the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee should do, nor did he take into account the overall development of Longnan Province.
