Chapter 1212
"Shall we roll the dice?" He Liping said.
"Xiao He, you are the only woman at the table today, so you go first." Li Changping's attitude toward these beautiful female officials was quite peaceful and enthusiastic.
He Liping smiled, "How can I be embarrassed? From big to small, Deputy Minister Li, you go first."
Strictly speaking, according to the level division, Old Zheng's level might not be below Li Changping's, but because of the special power of the Organization Department, no one in other agency units is not in awe of the leaders of the Organization Department. So Old Zheng laughed and continued, "Exactly, Old Li, start from you, you go first."
"Yes, Deputy Minister Li, you go first." Lin Dafa also agreed.
Li Changping was flattered by everyone and felt very useful in his heart. He laughed triumphantly, "Okay, since everyone refuses to go first, I'll go first." As he spoke, he pressed the button for rolling the dice on the mahjong table. "Ding-a-ling," a burst of rotation, the dice stopped, and directly came to the largest twelve.
Seeing this, Old Zheng, who was extremely eloquent, flattered, "Old Li, you are the biggest, others don't need to go. Seventeen twelve, three left one." While skillfully reciting the mahjong grabbing formula, he helped Li Changping grab two buildings of mahjong, and then grabbed cards in turn.
After a while, the "Great Wall" was built. Several people chatted while playing cards. Li Changping played a Dongfeng and began to complain, "Old Zheng, you don't know that in order to promote Xiao He this time, I went behind Minister Su's back and made a decision on my own to issue the document. I was severely criticized by Minister Su. The risk I took was not small."
Old Zheng hurriedly said, "I know, I know that you, Old Li, were indeed under great pressure this time. You really took a risk."
Li Changping said, "But having said that, transferring Ma Debang is also reasonable and well-founded. Minister Su at most said I was overstepping my authority. She has no basis to punish me. But after all, she is the minister of the Organization Department, and I, the deputy minister, sometimes have to swallow my bitterness."
The reason why Old Zheng could climb to the position of director of the Provincial Construction Commission safely for so many years in officialdom was absolutely inseparable from his unique skill of saying what people want to hear, saying what ghosts want to hear, and flattering. Knowing that Li Changping was actually in the same category as Ma Debang to some extent, as the second head of different agency units, with the first head pressing on top, having no real power, living very suffocated, he must feel very unbalanced that a woman like Su Qing was pressing on him. Coupled with Old Zheng's hatred for Su Qing, he took the opportunity to fan the flames, "Old Li, to tell you the truth, you are more suitable to be the minister of the Organization Department. Su Qing is really not very suitable. Besides, you are pressed by someone all the time. We are big men, and we feel a bit uncomfortable, right? Have you ever thought about whether you can go up?"
Old Zheng's words were true, and they hit Li Changping's heart. But after all, there were outsiders present, and it was not very good to say such things in front of others. If it reached Su Qing's ears, Li Changping was afraid that his official hat as deputy minister would not be guaranteed. He had already overstepped his authority once, so how could he dare to spread these words? So he looked somewhat nervous and widened his eyes, "Old Zheng, these words can't be said indiscriminately. If these words reach Minister Su's ears, then I'm finished. I'll just be a deputy minister safely now. As for whether I can go up in the future, it depends on my work performance and the meaning of the province. But having said that, your Director Zheng of the Provincial Construction Commission is really the director, the head. You have the final say in everything in your system. It is indeed much more powerful than my deputy minister of the Organization Department. I have to look at Minister Su's face for everything in the Organization Department all day long. It is indeed not easy to live."
Old Zheng glanced at He Liping on the side and laughed, "Isn't there Xiao He? Xiao He was my subordinate before, and this time she was promoted by Deputy Minister Li to assist me. She knows what kind of person I am. I am not an emperor, arbitrary. For anything, we have to unify our opinions."
Li Changping said "Oh," played an "Eight Wan," and said, "Right, Xiao He is your subordinate. You can unify your opinions on everything. It's different with Minister Su and me. She has been working in the province, and I was in the Municipal Organization Department before, and I didn't deal with her much. So whenever something happens, Minister Su and my opinions are always not unified, and we can't think together. In the end, I have to listen to Minister Su's opinion. Who let her be the head? I'm waiting for cards."
Old Zheng immediately signaled to He Liping on the side. He Liping knowingly, while Old Zheng and Li Changping were talking and attracting his attention, leaned over and glanced at Li Changping's cards. A wicked smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. When the circle came, He Liping played a "Three Tiao" to cater to him.
Li Changping, who was chatting with Old Zheng, heard Three Tiao. As He Liping's next player, he immediately pushed down the mahjong and said happily, "Hu, Three Six Tiao."
He Liping deliberately appeared very regretful and said, "If I had known Deputy Minister Li wanted Three Six Tiao, I wouldn't have played Three Tiao."
