Diary of the life of a working wizard

While Feng Zhengcheng was standing at the window looking down and deep in thought, his secretary Liu Jiahui walked in quietly with a thermos bottle in his hand. He looked at the tea cup placed on the executive desk. Seeing that there was not much tea in it, he added some more. , then turned around and prepared to leave quietly.

But when Liu Jiahui turned around and was about to leave, Feng Zhengcheng turned around, waved to him and said, "Jiahui, come sit down and let me have a few words with you before you get off work."

Seeing Secretary Feng rarely greeting him to sit down and chat, Liu Jiahui seemed to have a premonition of something, and his heart beat extremely hard.

In China, one of the fastest ways to get promoted is to become the leader's secretary. This is not difficult to understand. The leader's personal secretary is naturally the person close to the leader and a person the leader can trust. He will not treat his secretary badly if he treats any leader badly. So usually, after a secretary has been working with the leader for a few years, the leader will assign the secretary a real job. There is even an unwritten rule in official circles that leaders must arrange the secretary's future before retiring.

This is actually easy to understand. Whether it is to implement the secretary's duties during normal official duties or to implement arrangements before retirement, this is a beneficial thing for leaders. In the former, the secretaries who have been promoted by themselves sit in important department positions, and the leaders will naturally be more comfortable in commanding them. In the latter, there has always been a saying in the officialdom that "when people leave, the tea will cool down." If they can have close friends in leadership positions after they leave, On the other hand, at least after retirement, people won’t be completely exhausted.

However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Although being a leader's secretary in China is a shortcut to promotion, it is also the most difficult and torturous job. As the leader's personal secretary, in addition to being thorough in everything he does, he has to walk on thin ice and be careful in everything he does. He also has almost no personal freedom at all. He has to turn on his cell phone 24 hours a day to wait for the leader's orders. Because the greatest source of a secretary's power is the leader he follows. Once the leader becomes dissatisfied with him, all his efforts will be in vain. To use an inappropriate comparison, the secretary is a bit similar to the eunuchs who used to be around the emperor. When the emperor trusted and respected him, even the prime minister and prince had to please him when they saw him. But once he fell out of favor, he was just a eunuch. The same is true for secretaries. Once the leader no longer needs you, you will be no different from an office clerk. Therefore, there are many secretaries in the municipal party committee office, but only Liu Jiahui is secretly called the No. 2 chief, while most of the other secretaries are just secretaries and clerks.

Of course, being the leader's secretary is difficult, but the rewards make everyone jealous. When he follows the leader, he looks very glamorous wherever he goes. Even those with higher official positions than him have to be respectful and polite when meeting him. Once he is decentralized to the government functional departments or to the local districts and counties below, he is usually treated with the same attitude. Occupy an important position. Most people in this position can only look up to them after struggling in their official career for a lifetime, but the leader's secretary has climbed to it in just a few years, and once it is delegated, he will not only hold great power, but also "heaven". You are no longer like a bird flying high, and you no longer have to walk on thin ice with no personal freedom like staying next to your leader.

Liu Jiahui and Feng Zhengcheng have been together for five years, and they have reached the age when they should be decentralized to local districts, counties or municipal agencies. Recently, many secretaries in the municipal party committee secretarial class have been gossiping about this news. Because there is a carrot and a pit, once Liu Jiahui is decentralized, they will naturally have a chance.

In fact, Liu Jiahui himself is not like the full-time secretaries of other leaders. He is eager to be decentralized as soon as possible to take advantage of the shortage. There are at least three reasons why Liu Jiahui doesn't think much about it. First, Feng Zhengcheng is a good leader. Although he is strict with him, he is kind but not harsh. Liu Jiahui is really reluctant to give up. Second, he can learn a lot by following Feng Zhengcheng. , and Feng Zhengcheng will remind him from time to time of how to serve as an official and in politics. Feng Zhengcheng is 41 years old this year. He is not only the secretary of the Jiangzhou Municipal Party Committee but also a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. He is the youngest deputy provincial-level minister in the entire Jiangnan Province. The future is bright. If Liu Jiahui can continue to stay with him, the rising tide will naturally lift all boats, and the starting point for decentralization will naturally be higher in the future.

But no matter what, Liu Jiahui felt conflicted and nervous seeing that Secretary Feng was likely to talk to him about decentralization today.

On the one hand, he certainly wanted to have his own world as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he was reluctant to leave Secretary Feng so early. There were both emotional factors and considerations for his future career. But no matter whether Liu Jiahui wants to stay or leave, the final decision on this matter lies with Secretary Feng, not Liu Jiahui.

"If my calculations are correct, there are still two months left before you have been working with me for five years." Feng Zhengcheng did not sit back in the position representing the power of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, but sat down next to Liu Jiahui, like The elders said in a pleasant manner.

"Yes, there are still fifty-two days left." Liu Jiahui replied, his heart beating more and more happily. Now he was 100% sure of his guess.

"You remember very clearly, isn't it difficult to be around me?" Feng Zhengcheng patted Liu Jiahui on the shoulder and joked.

"No, no, the secretary is very good to me. I also learned a lot about being an official from the secretary's side." Liu Jiahui said hurriedly.

"Haha, if you think so, it means that I am quite successful as a secretary." Feng Zhengcheng laughed happily, and then changed the subject: "However, I have been a secretary before, and I know that the profession of a secretary seems simple. , it is actually very training and very torturous, thank you for your hard work these years."

"It's not hard, I actually want to stay with the secretary for a few more years." Seeing Secretary Feng talking about this, Liu Jiahui struggled in his heart and made the final decision.

"I'm very grateful to you for thinking so. But I think you should go to the grassroots level for training as early as possible, where you can learn more knowledge about politics and have a deeper understanding of the work at the grassroots level, so that you can continue to develop in the future and have a solid foundation. It will be stable, and it will not be just talk on paper and harm the country and the people." Seeing Liu Jiahui say this, Feng Zhengcheng hesitated for a while, but gradually turned serious.

He really liked Liu Jiahui as his secretary, and he was easy to call him, but he didn't want Liu Jiahui to limit his attention to the role of secretary. He also hoped that he could grow more comprehensively.

"Thank you, Secretary. I will listen to the Secretary's arrangements and will never let down the Secretary's cultivation." Liu Jiahui stood up and bowed deeply. He had followed Feng Zhengcheng for five years. He knew Secretary Feng's character well and knew that these were his sincere words. for his own good.

"I recently had some time to learn more about the situation in Shangyang County. Chen Minghe, the executive deputy county magistrate of Shangyang County, retired from illness some time ago. The executive deputy county magistrate is a position with great responsibility, and it is also a position that truly trains people. If Mayor Ding and the others No objection, I will arrange for you to go to Shangyang County." Feng Zhengcheng said.

The full-time secretaries of prefecture-level municipal party committee secretaries are usually decentralized to municipal agencies or lower-level districts and counties as deputy posts. Liu Jiahui was not surprised by the position assigned to him by Secretary Feng. With Secretary Feng's pragmatic style, it makes sense to give him such a training position as the executive deputy county magistrate. But the arrangement in Shangyang County made Liu Jiahui's heart beat suddenly faster, because he knew that Shangyang County was the hometown of a young man whom Feng Zhengcheng, the municipal party committee secretary, secretly called his uncle.

Secretary Feng's arrangement obviously placed great expectations on him and also placed trust in him.

"Secretary, don't worry, I will definitely do my best and do my best." Liu Jiahui said seriously.

"I believe this, but don't be smart. Teacher Xia doesn't need your special attention, let alone bothering you. Just keep the status quo. What you have to do is try your best to do your job well." Feng Zhengcheng nodded, with a look on his face. Seriously

"I understand." Liu Jiahui hurriedly straightened his back and replied solemnly.

"By the way, after you leave, do you have any recommendations for good candidates in the secretarial class?" Feng Zhengcheng was relatively reassured about Liu Jiahui, so he changed the subject after reminding him.

Seeing Secretary Feng asking him about the choice of secretary, Liu Jiahui couldn't help but his heart beat wildly and his mind started spinning rapidly. If he could recommend someone, of course he would recommend a secretary who has a good relationship with him and is very capable.

Just as Liu Jiahui's mind was spinning rapidly, Feng Zhengcheng's personal cell phone rang.

The call was naturally from Xia Yunjie. Zhao Shiyou was eager for revenge, and Luo Qiuping had no intention of going to work all day. Naturally, Xia Yunjie didn't want to drag this matter out any longer. When Shuai Zhen and others cursed Zhao Shiyou in the office, he took the time to go out and call Feng Zhengcheng.

"Hello, uncle." Feng Zhengcheng respectfully picked up the phone and waved to Liu Jiahui to signal him to go out first.

When Liu Jiahui saw that Secretary Feng was not as dignified as usual when he answered the phone, he couldn't help but jump up.

As the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary and Feng Zhengcheng's most trusted person, Liu Jiahui actually still can't figure out why Secretary Feng and even the entire Feng family respect Xia Yunjie so much? Why did a young man from a fishing village in Shangyang County become Secretary Feng's uncle? But this is obviously not something he can interfere with.

"There is something that I think will trouble you, the municipal party committee secretary." When talking to Feng Zhengcheng, Xia Yunjie naturally did not need to beat around the bush. As soon as Feng Zhengcheng answered the phone, Xia Yunjie got straight to the point.

"If anything happens, uncle, just give me your instructions and don't cause any trouble." Feng Zhengcheng said modestly.

"It's like this. The husband of a colleague of mine is a senior reporter at Jiangzhou Daily, and his name is Wang Zesheng." Xia Yunjie said.

"Wang Zesheng? I have an impression of this man. His articles criticizing current ills are very in-depth. It turns out that he is the husband of your colleague."

"Since you also know Wang Zesheng, it will be much easier to talk about it." Xia Yunjie was a little surprised to hear that Feng Zhengcheng also knew Wang Zesheng, and then he gave a general summary of the grievances between Wang Zesheng and Zhao Shiyou.
