Chapter 2078: Being an official is like walking on a tightrope

Although Secretary Jin smiled and expressed his agreement with Wu Min's ideas, Wu Min understood the principle that being an official was like walking a tightrope; one must never lower their guard at any time. She did not agree with the "your ideas..." that Secretary Jin had mentioned. With a smile, she corrected him, saying, "Secretary Jin, this is what everyone in the District Party Committee and the District Government thinks. The leading cadres and comrades in the district are all very concerned about the development and construction of the development zone, and they are all dedicated to doing a good job with the development and construction work. Therefore, I am representing the District Party Committee and the District Government to bring up the district's thoughts and suggestions to you, Secretary Jin."

Secretary Jin was still that kind and approachable appearance, with a gentle smile on his face, nodding thoughtfully and saying: "Very good, it is very good that the broad masses of cadres and comrades in the district can have this ideological awareness. This is what our broad masses of party member cadres and comrades should do. Your district committee and government have walked in the front in this aspect. It seems that it is very correct for the province and city to send you comrades with relatively high ideological awareness to form the development zone district committee and government. Xiao Wu, the thoughts and suggestions you put forward on behalf of the development zone district committee and government today, I will suggest that the Xijing Municipal Committee and Municipal Government take it seriously."

Secretary Jin's reply made Wu Min very satisfied in her heart. She couldn't suppress the joy in her heart, and a look of joy also appeared on her face. She smiled at Secretary Jin and said: "Secretary Jin, then I trouble you. Coming to find you so early, it really delayed your work."

Secretary Jin laughed and said politely: "Xiao Wu, look at what you are saying. Since I am the secretary, I must solve problems for the province. Since you came to put forward specific problems in administrative work today, I must definitely solve problems for your district committee and government. On the contrary, I should thank the broad masses of cadres and comrades in your development zone district committee and government. In our administrative units, we lack comrades like you in the development zone who can discover problems and dare to put forward problems. I believe that the development and construction work of the development zone will definitely flourish under the joint efforts of the broad masses of cadres and comrades in the district committee and government headed by you, Comrade Xiao Wu."

Secretary Jin's words made Wu Min feel very comfortable. It was also true. Although Secretary Jin was sometimes not a particularly upright person, after all, as a provincial party secretary, his position on some major issues was relatively distinct. Especially since the Chanba Development Zone was a national-level development zone approved by the State Council through the joint efforts of the province and city, its development and construction and future formation would definitely be supervised by relevant national departments. It was an important work content of Hexi Province in the past two years. For the leaders who were about to retire, it was related to whether they would achieve a perfect success, and for the leaders who were struggling to go up, it was related to whether they could paint a colorful stroke on their resumes. Of course, for the high-level of Hexi Province, more people were inclined to the latter idea. This was a major event related to political achievements and could not be sloppy. Secretary Jin even fantasized about using the construction work of this national-level development zone to complete his jump to the central power layer. Although he knew this idea was a bit unrealistic, he had fought in the officialdom all his life, and he would not give up any opportunity.

After being praised by Secretary Jin, Wu Min felt very comfortable in her heart, and even had a feeling of heart-blooming. But she didn't reveal it on her face, but smiled and said very modestly: "Secretary Jin, you are over-praising. These are all things our district committee and government should do. Since the province and city trust us comrades and transferred us to the development zone to form a new district committee and government, we will definitely live up to expectations and fully exert our abilities in our respective positions to try our best to do a good job in the various tasks of the development zone." Wu Min also said a set of polite words in official jargon.

Despite a set of polite words, Secretary Jin still laughed and said: "Xiao Wu, these words of yours make me feel very gratified. If all our administrative units' cadres could think like you, it would be great. What our government functional departments lack most now are cadres like you, Xiao Wu."

Wu Min felt very comfortable in her heart, but her mouth was still very modest: "Secretary Jin, you are really over-praising. I just did my own duty."

Secretary Jin nodded with a smile and said: "Today, I will notify the municipal committee in time about the thoughts and problems you put forward on behalf of your district committee and government, and let them take it seriously."

Hearing Secretary Jin say this, Wu Min smiled happily. Suddenly, she thought of the matter of transferring Zhao Desan. Suddenly, she gathered her courage and prepared to mention this matter to Secretary Jin. When the words reached her lips, she suddenly thought that if Secretary Jin made a decision and directly appointed Zhao Desan to the Development Zone Construction Commission, Zhao Desan would definitely be very unwilling, and offending Su Qing would not be good for her. The heavy concerns made her swallow this idea back into her stomach.

Seeing Wu Min's hesitant appearance, Secretary Jin appeared very magnanimous and said: "Xiao Wu, if there are any other problems, you can say them all together, and I will solve them for you together."

Wu Min finally decided not to mention the matter of wanting to transfer Zhao Desan to Secretary Jin today. But she wanted to test Zhao Desan's impression in Secretary Jin's heart, so she smiled and said: "Secretary Jin, I have no other problems." Saying this, she paused and added: "Secretary Jin, in fact, these thoughts of the district committee were also when you came down to inspect and guide the work yesterday, the leaders of the district heard some thoughts and suggestions from Deputy Division Chief Liu of the Construction Commission. They felt that what he said was very good, and then the leaders of the district sat together to hold a symposium, discussed it, and reached a consistent idea."

Sure enough, when Secretary Jin heard that she mentioned Zhao Desan in her words, he raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled gently, and said: "Xiao Wu, you are talking about that Zhao Desan of the Construction Commission, right?"

"Right, right, that's him." Seeing that Secretary Jin was on the path, Wu Min nodded with some excitement.

"That Xiao Zhao is indeed a talent. Before, I only heard other leaders mention him. Yesterday, when I saw him, I felt that Xiao Zhao is truly a talent, young and promising. Some thoughts and introductions are very unique, which can be said to have jumped out of the frameworks that we old comrades have always been confused about. In our government units, we lack such young comrades." Speaking of Zhao Desan, since Secretary Jin personally contacted Zhao Desan yesterday, he completely changed his view of him. For a young man like Zhao Desan who was extremely good at observing words and colors and flattering, while also having strong work ability, no leader would not like him, unless it was someone like Zheng Tulu who had a grudge against him and would think of squeezing him out. And Secretary Jin couldn't determine that the person who reported him for playing mahjong with Li Changping was Zhao Desan. He only heard Li Changping say so, but he didn't know who the real behind-the-scenes reporter was. After contacting Zhao Desan, not only did his talent make him appreciate him, but Zhao Desan's very sensible performance at the dinner table also deeply won Secretary Jin's favor. The previous thoughts about Zhao Desan were completely offset by these good impressions unconsciously.

From Secretary Jin's endless praise for Zhao Desan, Wu Min knew that Zhao Desan had left a very deep and good impression in Secretary Jin's heart, which laid a foundation for her to transfer Zhao Desan to the district to work in the future. However, the premise was that she must find a way to promote Zhao Desan one level. She smiled and said: "Also, although Xiao Zhao doesn't look very old, his thoughts are very good. After the planning scheme was modified by him, I feel that the positioning of the development zone and the distribution of various areas are more reasonable now."

"Xiao Zhao, this young man has a future, and our Deputy Secretary Su is his cousin. It seems that this kid has inherited the advantages of Deputy Secretary Su." Secretary Jin said in a joking tone, and it could be seen that he valued Zhao Desan particularly.

After sitting with Secretary Jin for a while, seeing that Secretary Jin was very kind and approachable, the sense of distance between the two narrowed, and Wu Min also took the opportunity to say in a joking tone: "For a rare talent like Xiao Zhao, Secretary Jin, you must definitely use him well, right?"

Hearing Wu Min say this, Secretary Jin laughed and said: "Although Xiao Zhao is a rare talent, he is still too young after all. He still needs to be observed and cultivated well for a period of time." ===== CHAPTER 2079 =====
