Chapter 2414: First Fire

Seeing that everyone in the conference room was expressionless and sitting upright, Zhao Desan secretly felt that his first fire was quite effective.

Pausing for a moment, drinking a sip of water to moisten his throat, Zhao Desan made the first work arrangement for coming to the District Construction Committee. He said seriously: "In view of the fact that the unit has not had a top leader for a period of time, and the work atmosphere is a bit chaotic, since the above sent me here to be responsible today, I have to perform my duties. First of all, I want to change the current loose work style from the mental outlook. I think it is necessary to carry out an ideological style rectification work for a period of one week." As he spoke, Zhao Desan turned his head and ordered Tong Xiaoli: "Xiao Li, you go and arrange this matter, implement it, one week of ideological style rectification work, if anyone dares to touch the red line, I will never be soft!"

Old slicker Gao Haiping saw that this newly appointed leader was not a soft persimmon, so he followed Zhao Desan's words and flattered: "Director Liu is right, our unit's work style has serious problems now, and it must be rectified. Xiao Li, did you hear what Director Liu said? Go and implement it quickly!"

Tong Xiaoli nodded sensibly.

If Gao Haiping were an old slicker like Meng Fei who had no city government, it would be fine. Once this old thing's city government was too deep, Zhao Desan felt that his work in the District Construction Committee in the future would definitely not be so handy. Now he was most afraid of this kind of old and cunning old fox. However, playing with schemes, Zhao Desan was not afraid of this old fox. Now he was new here, and he must let these people understand a fact—he, Zhao Desan, was not a soft persimmon!

Today's meeting, judging from the reactions of these people, Zhao Desan felt that his first goal had been achieved, and it had a certain deterrent effect. Next, he had to strike while the iron was hot and establish his prestige in a short time. One was through means in work, such as the ideological style rectification arranged at the meeting today, picking out typical examples, punishing them severely, and playing a role of killing one to warn a hundred. This move was mainly used to deal with the people below. For these old slickers, Zhao Desan knew that this move had little effect and could only use other methods. As for what method, he needed to think about it carefully.

He scanned the conference room. At this time, everyone was sitting upright and serious, as if waiting for him to issue orders. Seeing that the attitude of these people changed in such a short time, a sense of achievement rose in Zhao Desan's heart. He drank a sip of water and softened his tone to say: "Alright, let's end today's meeting here." Finally, he added: "I hope everyone will not take my words as a deaf ear, improve their own ideological awareness, and work hard to do their own duties well! Don't hold the unit back! Dismiss!" After speaking, Zhao Desan was the first to get up and walk out of the conference room with his stainless steel tea cup. Only then did whispering sounds start in the silent conference room behind him...

After returning to the office from the conference room, Zhao Desan didn't sit down to work, but planned to have a comprehensive understanding of the District Construction Committee first. Putting down the tea cup, he walked out of the office again, starting from the first floor, checking the work office by office, wanting to see what these people were doing in the office on weekdays. Whenever he walked into an office, he would find such a phenomenon: people who were originally whispering and laughing would immediately return to their seats and pretend to work as soon as they saw him come in. This phenomenon made Zhao Desan more convinced that he had initially established his prestige at the meeting today, and the effect seemed quite good. After checking all the offices, Zhao Desan felt that he should go to the office of the deputy director and deputy secretary of the Party Group, Gao Haiping, to sit down, take the pulse of this old fox, and touch what kind of person he was.

So, Zhao Desan finally walked to the door of deputy director Gao Haiping's office and knocked on the door politely. Inside came Gao Haiping's impatient voice: "Come in!"

Damn! Still so impulsive! Zhao Desan pushed the door open with a straight face.

As soon as he saw it was the top leader Zhao Desan, Gao Haiping immediately changed into a different person, his attitude took a 180-degree turn, and he stood up with a full face of smiles and said: "Director Liu is here, sit down, sit down."

"What is Director Gao busy with?" Zhao Desan asked indifferently, and then walked in and sat down on the sofa.

"Director Liu, come, have a cigarette!" As soon as Zhao Desan sat down, Gao Haiping walked over respectfully and handed over a soft Zhonghua cigarette.

Zhao Desan took the cigarette and put it into his mouth. This old fox really knew how to do things. The lighter followed and was handed over. This diligent performance made Zhao Desan feel a bit useful in his heart. He leaned forward, lit the cigarette and took a puff, and asked Gao Haiping: "Director Gao, the unit has been leaderless for a period of time, you have worked hard."

"Director Liu, look at what you said, it's not hard, it's not hard at all, this is what I should do." Gao Haiping sat down with a smile and said.

Zhao Desan laughed 'hehe' twice and said: "For a period of time, the unit was responsible by you. Today I came over. Director Gao, you should take two days to hand over the work to me."

Gao Haiping nodded respectfully and said: "Okay, okay." After speaking, he asked enthusiastically: "Director Liu, do you drink water? Shall I pour you a cup of water?"

Zhao Desan waved his hand to stop him: "Director Gao, don't be so polite, I'll just sit for a while and leave."

Gao Haiping just lifted his butt, but seeing Zhao Desan's persuasion, he sat down again, smiled and nodded, and flattered: "Director Liu, to be honest, I heard before that District Secretary Wu specially reported to the province, asking to send a capable leader to our unit. I really didn't expect it to be a young and promising leader like Director Liu. I think Director Liu's work ability must be very outstanding."

Zhao Desan laughed dryly twice, appearing slightly humble, and said: "Outstanding work ability is not worth mentioning, but since the above can send me here, it shows that they still trust me. Since the above trusts me so much, I cannot live up to the expectations of the superior leaders, and I must do a good job in this work. Director Gao, don't you think so?"

Gao Haiping nodded and smiled, saying: "Yes, yes, Director Liu is right. Director Liu can be the top leader of the unit at such a young age, which shows that the superior leaders must value Director Liu, so Director Liu's work ability is self-evident."

Zhao Desan smiled faintly, took a puff of cigarette, and said: "Although the superior leaders sent me down to be responsible for the work of the District Construction Committee, the work cannot be finished by me alone. There are so many people in the District Construction Committee, and we need everyone's cooperation, and even more need your assistance, Director Gao. I hope that in the future work, Director Gao can cooperate more, and we will work together to strive to improve the work of the District Construction Committee."

Gao Haiping smiled 'hehe' flatteringly, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, as long as Director Liu has any instructions, you just order, I, Gao Haiping, will definitely not shirk."

"Director Gao, don't say that. You are also a member of the leading group. It is not a matter of instructions or not. Just like what you said at the meeting, members of the leading group should communicate with each other, communicate with each other, and work together, so that we can strive to do a good job." Zhao Desan tactfully corrected Gao Haiping's statement, meaning to tell him that not everything depends on him, Zhao Desan, he is also a member, and needs to exert some effort!

Gao Haiping just nodded to Zhao Desan's words, as if he obeyed everything. This is actually the old way of these officialdom old slickers. They will not easily express their views on anything, and they will never make suggestions in front of higher-level leaders. They only need to nod and bow, so that they can ensure their position is firm.

Zhao Desan tried to test the depth of this old fox's city government between his words, and this experienced guy was also testing Zhao Desan's character. Is he really a hard bone like in the conference room, and will he take someone to the knife if there is any omission? He smiled and tested: "Director Liu, I heard that you were someone specially asked by District Secretary Wu from the District Party Committee. You should be quite familiar with Secretary Wu, right?"

Hearing Gao Haiping's question, Zhao Desan looked at him and heard the subtext of his sentence. He said lightly: "I didn't know her before. Last time Secretary Jin and the others came to the district to inspect the work, I accompanied them with Director Zheng of the Provincial Construction Committee. Only then did I know her, and I am not very familiar with her."

Gao Haiping smiled 'hehe' and said: "It seems that Secretary Wu values your work ability very much, Director Liu. I heard that Secretary Wu specially went to the province to suggest to Secretary Jin to send you down to work. As for letting you be responsible for the work here, it was still decided by Secretary Jin."

"It can be said so. If it weren't for Secretary Jin personally arranging this matter, Director Zheng of the Provincial Construction Committee would not have let me come to the district." Zhao Desan knew that this old fox must be inquiring about his interpersonal relationship, so he deliberately told him the facts, let this old guy understand that your Uncle Liu's relationship goes directly to Secretary Jin of the Provincial Party Committee, see if you old thing has the courage to calculate against me in the future!

Hearing Zhao Desan confirm this specific personnel arrangement, Gao Haiping's face was full of smiles, but the smile looked a bit unnatural, because he realized that this young man was not as easy to deal with as he imagined. It seems that it will not be so easy to pull him down from the position of director and let himself be promoted in the future.

"Then it seems that Secretary Jin really appreciates your work ability, Director Liu?" Gao Haiping smiled awkwardly. His sentence had two layers of meaning. The first layer was to flatter Zhao Desan, and the other layer was to further test Zhao Desan's relationship with Secretary Jin.

Zhao Desan, who was extremely good at observing words and colors, immediately heard the second layer of meaning in Gao Haiping's sentence. He smiled warmly and deliberately pretended to be noncommittal: "To say appreciation, it is not worth mentioning, but I have met Secretary Jin privately several times. Every time we meet, I can learn many things from Secretary Jin that benefit me a lot."

Gao Haiping smiled 'hehe' a bit awkwardly and said: "It seems that Secretary Jin really values Director Liu. Director Liu is young and promising, and with Secretary Jin's appreciation, the future is definitely boundless."
