What is the annoyance, Chang Ning, the third-generation boss of the Ning family, is "hiding" in Jinjiang and is not at ease, first the cousin-in-law who is currently the Propaganda Minister of the Nanyue Provincial Party Committee came in person, and then the second uncle wanted to plant a "nail" beside him, and now it has only been a few days, and the Ning family is here again, and he is still a soldier, the eldest brother-in-law Liu Tiehong, the commander of a group army in the Southeast Military Region. -

Chang Ning didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned home from the municipal party committee compound, Liu Tiehong was dressed in casual clothes and sat on the sofa in the living room.

"Auntie, why don't you make a call, I'll pick you up at the airport."

Chang Ning said with a smiling face, muttering in his heart, how did Liu Tiehong enter the door, suddenly, the figure at the kitchen door flashed, startling him, why did Liu Yuehong also come, only then did he remember that she had the key to his house, no wonder the brothers and sisters could "break" the door and enter.

Liu Tiehong laughed loudly: "Haha, I'm here to do private business, how can I work for you Mayor Chang." ”

Personal? Chang Ningxin said that it was going to be bad, didn't the Liu family already know about the matter between himself and Sister Yuehong? If you want to ask the teacher for sin, you won't wait until now.

Chang Ning peeked at Liu Yuehong at the kitchen door, Liu Yuehong shook her head at him with a smile, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Yuehong smiled and said: "Xiao Chang, your eldest brother-in-law's troops, a few days ago in Qingyang City to conduct a military exercise, now that the exercise is over, the troops are resting there, he wants to come to see you, so I will accompany him." ”

"Don't worry, kid, I won't drink your wine this time." Liu Tiehong smiled and waved his hand, glanced at his sister, and then said to Chang Ning, "I still want to go to your Jiuling area in Xijiang Province, I am passing by to see you, and I can only stay here for two hours." ”

Chang Ning's heart moved, "Sister-in-law, did the old man ask you to come?" ”

Liu Tiehong was stunned, and then smiled: "Haha, sure enough, the iron mouth god is a little half-immortal, and you can guess it accurately." ”

"I know that the old man trusts his eldest brother-in-law the most." As he spoke, Chang Ning lit a cigarette for Liu Tiehong.

Liu Tiehong nodded and said, "That's right, like this, the old man is always the first to think of me." ”

sighed softly, "Alas, I still let the old man know." ”

Liu Tiehong said solemnly: "Of course, I can't hide anything from the old man, but fortunately, it hasn't made a big deal yet." ”

With a wry smile, Chang Ning said: "In the past few days here, it has been a real storm, first my cousin-in-law, then my second uncle, and now I am the eldest aunt, almost half of the people in the Ning family should come out." ”

After taking a few puffs of cigarette, Liu Tiehong asked with a face: "Xiao Chang, I ask you now, has Yao Jin ever been to your Jinjiang?" What did he do, and what did he ask you to do for him? ”

"I've been here, I've stayed for more than ten days, and I didn't show up, he came to get a friend, and asked me to help, but I didn't help him."

Liu Tiehong snorted, "You kid, didn't tell the truth, let me ask you again, what's going on with the second child?" ”

Chang Ning was surprised when he heard this, and cold sweat broke out on his back, how could the old man know everything.

"Auntie, second uncle, he has never been to Jinjiang, but, but I just learned that he has some connections with one of my friends."

Liu Tiehong looked at Chang Ning and asked, "Tell me, who is your friend who has a relationship with the second child, and what is the name of your cousin-in-law's friend?" ”

Chang Ning shook his head and said cautiously: "Sister-in-law, I think this is the end of the matter, they are all a family, it's not a big deal, as for others, don't get involved." ”

After a deep groan, Liu Tiehong nodded slightly, and said with emotion: "Xiao Chang, it's rare that you are so generous, as long as they end here, of course things can end, speaking of which, Yao Jin and the second child are still that virtuous, rats carry guns in the nest, they are all dozens of years old, and they don't have any self-knowledge at all, no wonder the old man often sighs that one generation is not as good as the next." ”

Chang Ning said with a smile: "Auntie, your sentence 'rats carrying guns in the nest' is too subtle. ”

"Haha, that's what the old man said, I don't dare to take it for myself, Yao Jin, he is also an orphan of a martyr, he grew up in your Ning family since he was a child, he and your second uncle have been cowardly as mice outside since childhood, but they are overbearing when they return home, so the old man said this."

Chang Ning said: "I think my cousin-in-law and second uncle are good." ”

"Hmph, without the towering tree of the old man, can they have their status today? At most, it's just an errand boy in the agency, and if you want to mix in the officialdom, you won't make friends, and you won't entrap your subordinates, which is not bad? Not a bad fart. ”

"Huh, no?" Chang Ning said with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart, this eldest sister-in-law is not simple, and it seems that he has a lot of prejudices against his cousin-in-law and second uncle.

Liu Tiehong said: "Xiao Chang, it's not me who brags, just their ability, if I take off my military uniform and enter politics, I am guaranteed to be better than them." ”

"That's that, that's." Chang Ning echoed.

"What, you kid don't believe it?" Liu Tiehong asked with a glare.

Chang Ning hurriedly smiled again, "Don't dare to believe it, people who can carry the stars on their shoulders are all outstanding, aunt-in-law, if you are unarmed and enter politics, at least you can be the secretary of the provincial party committee." ”

Liu Tiehong said with a smile: "Haha, anyway, there is still some time, I will discuss politics with you, Mayor Changda." ”

"I would like to listen to my aunt's teachings."

"Let me ask you, what conditions do you need to have if you want to gain a foothold in officialdom and advance step by step?"

"A diploma is indispensable, age is a treasure, and backing is the most important."

Liu Tiehong said: "It's too vulgar and too narrow, people in politics are like a tree, how can it grow? First of all, it is necessary to have a developed root system of this tree, don't look at its roots, but this root is supporting the growth of the tree all the time, and there is no tree without the root system, I am not wrong. ”

"Sister-in-law, you have a point."

Liu Tiehong continued: "Actually, this theory is not profound, and ordinary people can know it, but what I want to say is the truth of this root, where is the root of politicians? First, there should be no problem with this root, as long as there is no problem with this root, it can continue to absorb nutrients from the soil. ”

Nodding, Chang Ning sighed and said: "Auntie, you are very right, a politician, if he has no problems at all, I guess it is really difficult to find out!" While speaking, Chang Ning thought to himself, he has a big problem, there are more women around him, this problem is really a headache for him, although he does not take politics as a lifelong career, but it is really not like words.

With a faint smile, Liu Tiehong said: "Yes, in the development of people, money, beauty, emotion, etc., are enough to make the roots rot, there is no perfect person in the world, but the question we have to study is, why are there many people who have such and such problems, but they can still make continuous progress?" ”

Chang Ning smiled and said: "I have also thought about this question, but I haven't found the answer yet, some people don't do things, some people do bad things, but they live a very nourishing life, but their career can be unimpeded." ”

Liu Tiehong nodded and said: "This is a problem with many root systems, as long as there are countless root systems, they cannot easily fall down or die, so the big tree does not have only one root in its growth, it has countless roots, and if a few are rotten, it is still alive and well." ”

"Brother-in-law, are you saying that for people who are engaged in politics, his subordinates, friends, allies, and even collaborators are all his roots and his dependence?"

Nodding approvingly, Liu Tiehong continued: "This involves the second question, the question of friends, you have to keep in mind that what level of people there are in your friends, what level of people you will often become!" ”

Chang Ning was stunned when he said this, he looked at Liu Tiehong puzzled and asked, "Auntie, is there such a statement?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

"yes, isn't that a new idea?"

Chang Ning said: "Well, I really didn't think about it, I have always known that I think that if a person has a mass base, it will have its own foundation. ”

Liu Tiehong smiled and said: "Xiaochang, you are right, what I want to tell you is that if you have a hundred friends, fifty-one of them are rich, then, in the near future, you are likely to become a rich person, if you have fifty-one friends who are poor, then you are likely to be on par with them, this truth, I see it from a book." ”

"Well, it makes sense, it must be an experience summed up from real life."

Liu Tiehong said with a smile: "It's very interesting, this principle is also applicable in officialdom, why do people continue to work hard to cage powerful people, just hope to get benefits from it, of course, there are also people who will go to the unpopular, but politics has a characteristic, that is, the so-called wall is pushed by everyone, and the person who falls, unless he has a special opportunity, or has the ability to reach the sky, otherwise, it is very difficult for him to turn the world upside down, then again, there are many special people, who are the best among people, and there may be occasional exceptions, It is precisely because many people understand this truth that their favorite is to go to the hot pan to hold the heat. ”

"Politics is a dirty thing." Chang Ning shook his head and sighed.

Liu Tiehong said: "Yes, politics is very realistic and cruel, just like your cousin-in-law and second uncle, one is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and the other is an assistant minister, they are high enough, but they have a fatal weakness, that is, they have no roots." ”

Chang Ning nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, are you saying that they don't have their own circle?" ”

"Yes, in officialdom, circles are very important, this is the consensus of everyone, but many people do not understand the essence of this, why establish their own circles? Have you ever thought about it, if you build a circle as a mayor, and all the people in the circle are your subordinates, can you develop? "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Chang Ning said with a smile: "It's all my own subordinates, it's a bit too monotonous." ”
