Volume 20: Looking at the World with Cold Eyes, Section 33: Cracks
Seeing the proud and confident look on her husband's face, Su Yanqing also laughed.
She likes her husband's decent self-confidence the most. He is neither arrogant nor arrogant, but he also has a unique aura of looking down on all living beings. This aura comes from his own confidence and strength. He can be said to be well-informed and calm.
"Oh, by the way, Hong Tong and Xiang Wendong are coming to Beijing this week. Hong Tong called me and I told him to contact me when he got to Beijing. Then he would treat them to a meal and get together.
Get together." Su Yanqing said in an understatement.
"Oh? Wen Dong and his wife are coming to Beijing? What's going on?" Lu Weimin also cheered up and glanced at his wife. He knew that his wife and Hong Tong had always maintained a very good relationship. They had a lot of contacts, and
After Su Yanqing's introduction, Hong Tong and Ke Lan quickly became familiar with each other. Basically, Hong Tong came to Beijing every month, and the relationship between the families became more and more warm, even more so than the relationship between himself and Xiang Wendong.
trend.
"It's not a big deal. Hong Tong wants to be transferred to Beijing. Ke Lan helped her find connections. She was in contact some time ago and transferred to the General Political Department. Well, I guess the problem is not big. The relationship between the two parties is coordinated.
Okay." Su Yanqing was a little reluctant to talk about this matter, but she knew that if she didn't say it, her husband would definitely be even more unhappy when he found out about it in the future, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and said.
"Transfer to the General Political Department?" Lu Weimin's eyes sharpened and he looked at his wife, but tried to keep his tone as calm as possible.
He had a good impression of Xiang Wendong and his wife, especially Xiang Wendong, who was calm and measured. During his work at Blue Island, Xiang Wendong also supported his work a lot, so he left Blue Island too hastily, so he said to Xiang Wendong
Wen Dong's matter didn't help much, and I still felt more or less
Somewhat apologetically, but having said that, Xiang Wendong's time in Blue Island was indeed too short. When he was in Quancheng, he was only the most junior member of the Standing Committee. After arriving in Blue Island, he was suddenly ranked sixth. It can be said that he has made great progress, and now he is
If you want to move, it must be a little inappropriate, so I can't say anything.
However, this woman Hong Tong is very shrewd and powerful. This is something Lu Weimin has always felt. She has not been in the Landao Security Area for a long time, and now she is about to move, and she is transferred to the General Political Department. Ke Lan is the one who pulls the strings. Although Ke Lan is in the
She works in the organization department, but it is impossible for her to speak in the army, no
You think it must be the Cao Lang family, that is, the relationship between the Yang family. Ke Lan has a very good impression on the Cao Lang family. Both the Cao family and the Yang family are very satisfied with Ke Lan, so if Ke Lan
With the help of the Yang family's connections, it is not difficult to mobilize a league cadre.
Seeing that her husband's face was not very good-looking, Su Yanqing also trembled slightly in her heart. She tried her best to remain calm and pretended to be very calm, and explained: "Didn't Xue Kaifeng, the commander of your Landao Garrison District, just be promoted? He went to Jinmen to guard.
The district serves as director of the Political Department. Hong Tong was also recommended..."
"Recommended Hong Tong?" Lu Weimin's tone was a little cold, "Recommended to work in the General Political Department?"
Su Yanqing's face froze, her words were just an excuse. Xue Kaifeng did recommend Hong Tong, but it was just a recommendation during the inspection, and Hong Tong was already in operation when he was transferred. I originally hoped that her husband would not be here
I was so entangled in this matter that my husband didn't expect me to give him any respect and pointed it out directly.
"For the people, I admit that I am doing Hong Tong a favor, but it is mainly Ke Lan who helps. Hong Tong and Ke Lan also have a good relationship, so it is reasonable for others to help, and it is not something shameful.
Don’t you also recognize Hong Tong’s ability? Zai Quan
The city is in Blue Island, and everyone has seen it. Are you so cold-blooded? It seems like we have done something treacherous. I don’t think there is anything wrong with us." Su Yanqing’s face didn’t look that good either.
The tone was also a bit harsh.
Lu Weimin really never thought about having a dispute with his wife on these matters, but he hated this kind of thing the most. But then again, aren't there many such things these days? Isn't it the so-called personal connections that come into play? There are connections.
Relationships don't have to be seen as stupid in the eyes of others. This kind of adjustment is not a backdoor adjustment. In fact, it is a normal thing at this time, so my wife is scornful of this attitude of hers.
However, Lu Weimin felt that this was really a bad sign. When he was still working in Landao, he was not too cold to his wife, Ke Lan and other people who often invited them to eat and drink together and have small gatherings. He also reminded his wife to be careful.
Influence, don’t engage in those circles that are too vulgar, this
They are not from the same company, nor are they friendships forged at work. Lu Weimin is the most disgusted with this so-called circle of friends who are "tangled" together because of their respective families or their own status, and it can easily turn sour.
Deterioration, and even become a harbinger of some kind of nepotism circle.
At that time, Su Yanqing seemed to have accepted some of her own reminders, that is, the scope of this circle had narrowed, the threshold was higher, people had more taboos, and they had to pay more attention to their words and deeds. However, she did not seem to have restrained herself because of this, and she was still a little bit like this.
There was a lot of activity coming and going, and he even vaguely reminded Cao Lang to pay attention to the signs in this regard.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Lu Weimin tried hard to calm down his emotions. He didn't understand why Su Yanqing was so slow on this issue? She really thought that this was something everyone was doing and it was a matter of course.
Son?
There has been a loud voice that the political ecology of the domestic officialdom needs to be cleaned up. Some officials and cadres eat and drink excessively, form cliques, and are keen on forming small circles, such as hometown associations, comrades-in-arms associations, and classmates associations. If we follow the normal understanding
, this is not a big deal, but some people always like to turn these hometown associations/comradeships/classmates associations into the kind of gangs that coordinate with each other and transfer benefits. Nowadays,
There are already some ideas at the top to clean up the ethics in this area. Although Su Yanqing and others are at a lower level and can't talk about cliques for power and money, Lu Weimin feels that there are signs that things are starting to change.
, if we don’t get vaccinated earlier and curb this development momentum, it’s hard to say to what extent it will develop in the future. If we really get into it, it will be difficult to pick ourselves out.
"Yan Qing, I want to make it clear that I don't agree with you or Ke Lan trying to pull strings or bridges inside. You don't know Hong Tong's performance in the Landao Security Area, and I don't know either, and Ke Lan doesn't know either.
, Xue Kaifeng recommended it, that is part of his job, but I don’t think he has the ability to recommend it to the General Political Department." Lu
Weimin restrained his emotions and tried to keep his tone as calm as possible, "I don't deny that in the past, some people, including me, may not have paid much attention to some aspects, or there may be some problems in understanding. I feel that personal connections are a kind of resource, and we should make good use of it.
Get up, you are my wife, we are part of the same family, don’t talk about two different things, I can make things clear.
If I know someone well and I recognize his ability, then I can recommend him because it is for work and I have not violated my own principles. In addition to being public-spirited, there is also a little bit of personal friendship involved. Under the same conditions,
I might choose one with better personal friendship. By personal friendship, I don’t mean anything else, but
A kind of mutual understanding and recognition in working together, but if it is a person who I don’t know or am familiar with, no matter who greets me, or gives me a message, or asks me to make any arrangements, I will not accept it, and in the end
At least I will not assign this person to a position that I think is important. This is my most basic principle."
Lu Weimin's words were very laborious, and I'm afraid it would be difficult for outsiders to understand them. He wanted to clarify his views on employment as he had served as a major leader in many places. He told his wife this meaning to let her understand that he was in charge of the job.
What kind of principles are used in recognizing and employing people?
Su Yanqing couldn't understand.
She didn't understand why Lu Weimin suddenly became so rigid. What's the big deal? She and Ke Lan just helped to make connections and made introductions. The Yang family had many old disciples, including many in the army, such as Hong Tong.
A league cadre was indeed nothing, and both she and Ke Lan felt that Hong Tong
He is generous and generous, and is very shrewd in his dealings. Being transferred to the capital can be regarded as one more friend with whom we can talk or take care of each other, especially myself. Lu Weimin has been absent from the capital for a long time, and Ke Lan also has a family. Having one more friend like this,
I want to avoid being so lonely. Why is my husband so taboo about this kind of thing?
Is this too much of a fuss, or is it because my husband has just returned to Beijing and started working in a central ministry and has become cautious? It doesn’t seem like it.
Seeing his wife looking at him with strange eyes, Lu Weimin couldn't help but rub his temples again. Was he too sensitive and making too much fuss? But he always had a hunch that his wife was so keen on this kind of small circle, and now it has begun.
There are some signs. Although it has never been related to his work before, he feels that it may be difficult to say in the future.
He hoped that his premonition was wrong, but he knew that bad premonitions would generally come true, while good premonitions would often be empty joy.
"Weimin, I think you may be too sensitive. I don't think I have done anything big. Maybe you are too tired during this period and are not in a good mood, so..." Su Yanqing exhaled and looked a little uncomfortable.
Good-looking, but she still tried her best to make her tone gentle and considerate.
When Su Yanqing said these words, Lu Weimin knew that the other party didn't want to talk about this issue anymore, and he didn't want to either. It would be better to stop it earlier. He could only say that he hoped he was overly worried. (To be continued...)
