Chapter 72: Exhausting All Efforts
The next morning, when Minister Bian went to the government kitchen for breakfast, he saw Secretary Wang Hongtao and Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Chen together, so he sat down, and the three chatted while eating.
Remembering Lu Fan's words yesterday, Bian Jide laughed: "Secretary Chen, in this career unit recruitment exam, the most excellent talent is your loyal fan!"
Wang Hongtao laughed: "Oh, there's such a thing? Secretary Chen has a fan!"
Bian Jide said: "Yes, the function of the Organization Department is to discover talent and use talent. In this recruitment, I paid attention to it, and there are a few good seedlings. I originally wanted to pick a few for the Organization Department, but who knew the first one hit a wall? The first place already has a heart, only wanting to go to the Discipline Inspection Commission, just waiting for Secretary Chen's call. I have no chance!"
Chen Dong laughed: "Talent is hard to come by, so I have to ask. Our Discipline Inspection Commission is finally more popular than your Organization Department!"
After the meal, Wang Hongtao and Chen Dong walked in the courtyard to digest.
Chen Dong whispered: "Hongtao, what did Bian Jide mean just now?"
"Organization Minister, it's normal for him to recommend talent to you. If you want it, take it; if you don't, don't. No need to consider so much. I don't think that first place is a very important connection for him, otherwise he wouldn't have said it at the dinner table."
"This time the Discipline Inspection Commission wants eight people. One is yours, and five have said hello. There are two spots left."
Wang Hongtao said: "If there are really no candidates, you can sell Minister Bian a favor. After all, it's the first place. If he is arranged in a department that is too poor, it will cause gossip. I really didn't notice this problem. I have to tell the Human Resources Bureau later to pay attention to the units assigned to those with high scores."
"There are definitely candidates, but they are all insignificant people, and it doesn't matter if you use them or not. Since Bian Jide specifically mentioned it, you should just pull that first place into the Discipline Inspection Commission and give him a favor. After all, he is the Organization Minister, has many work intersections with you, and is also a member of the five-person group."
"Okay, the assignment plan is being made these two days, I'll give instructions."
If it weren't for today's matter, Du Wenlong's assignment unit had already been determined—the Welfare Lottery Center under the Civil Affairs Bureau. Because of the leader's few words, his fate changed. Otherwise, his greatest achievement in the future would be to approve one or two lottery shops, and that would still require the leader's nod.
So it is said, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are afraid of entering the wrong line. The most important thing in a man's life is his career. Once he chooses the wrong line, without great opportunity to change, there is no hope in this life, and he will likely become a mediocre person who is useless and achieves nothing.
Now only Xia Li is left as a difficult case. After finishing the Minister's business, Lu Fan called Xia Li and asked him to come to the office. Before handling things, he had to know the person's attitude.
The work of the Organization Department is very busy, and overtime in various business sections is a common occurrence, but Lu Fan is not very busy because the secretary just needs to serve the Minister wholeheartedly. The Minister is the one who labors his mind, and Lu Fan is the "gatekeeper" most of the time, and then conveys the Minister's orders.
In fragmented time, Lu Fan basically uses it for study, and his material foundation is increasing day by day. General small materials are at his fingertips. This is what the Minister is most satisfied with. You can not know, but you cannot not learn. The so-called ability problem is 80% an attitude problem.
Xia Li arrived at the office soon. Lu Fan closed the door and whispered: "The unit assignment is coming soon, what are your thoughts?"
"Leave it to fate. Thanks to Brother Fan, being able to have a job is already burning high incense."
"You are not in the system, you don't know the importance of the unit. Let me tell you this: units are also divided into three, six, and nine grades. There are definitely clear water yamen (poor departments) and real power departments. Some units promote quickly, such as the two offices, Discipline Inspection, and Organization Department, with many promotion quotas. As long as you know how to handle things and have leaders speaking for you, and the leaders' words have power, even if you just endure, you can get a level;"
"Some units have high income, such as the political and legal system, with a subsidy of one or two thousand per month;"
"Some units have great real power, such as Development and Reform, Finance, Education, Health, Transportation, and other departments, which are convenient for handling personnel matters, and the income is not low;"
"But there are more clear water yamen. If you go to those units, it is very likely that other people's starting point is your end point, punching in to work and punching out at time for a lifetime, mixing for food and waiting for death, achieving nothing, and becoming one of the crowd."
"Xia Li, I want to know how you are considering it?"
Xia Li immediately said: "Brother Fan, I definitely want to go to a good unit, but there is no way at home. You have helped me so much, I am really embarrassed to open my mouth to you."
"Between brothers, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. It mainly depends on whether I can help. There is another very important point: if you wait until the assignment is settled, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven to change units. Not only do the heads of the two units need to agree, but also the Organization, Human Resources, and Compilation Office need to sign, and most importantly, the Executive Vice County Head and County Head need to sign. You can imagine how difficult it is. But now is the assignment period; as long as you find the right person, you can go to a good unit, but it costs money."
"Brother Fan, money is a bastard. If we spend it, we can earn it again. It can't be brought at birth or taken at death. I'm not afraid of spending money. If Brother Fan has a way, I can only be thick-skinned!"
"I thought of a person, Executive Vice County Head Yang Chuanbei, but I can only try. Whether he handles it or not is another matter."
"Such a big official, Brother Fan, the favor owed is too big, won't it affect you?"
"You don't have to worry. These leaders might be transferred away one day, and the favor will be wasted. Take advantage of the fact that we can talk now, use it once if we can. Besides, we are not asking him to help for nothing. You go back and prepare 50,000 yuan. In the afternoon, I will take you to County Head Yang's office. It depends on his tone. You watch my gestures. If I extend a few fingers, you give a few ten thousand. But it is also possible that he will refuse you in one bite."
Xia Li said without hesitation: "Brother Fan, I'll go get the money immediately. Let's do our best and listen to fate. At least we've tried."
"Okay, there's no loss in trying. You go quickly and come earlier in the afternoon."
Working in the Organization Department, Lu Fan is used to seeing all kinds of people coming to handle things, and he has long understood a truth: those who have no desires are strong, and those who are shameless achieve things the fastest.
Although "shameless" sounds very vulgar, a deep understanding is "no self." Only when one has no fear in life can one have achievements. Shameless people are used to testing other people's bottom lines and understand human nature better. Every time they handle things, they treat it as breaking the cauldrons and sinking the boats, fighting to the death, fighting for the sunrise and sunset, and naturally they will be invincible.
Just after work in the afternoon, Lu Fan called County Head Yang's secretary and learned that County Head Yang had no meetings in the afternoon and was not going out. It is easy for the Organization Minister's secretary to find out news in the county compound.
After Deputy County Head Bian got up, Lu Fan went in to tidy up the bed, add water, and after asking for work, said: "Minister, I'll go to the Government Office later and come back soon."
"Hmm, I know." As a secretary, one must let the leader know his whereabouts at any time, and also know the leader's whereabouts at any time.
Returning to the office, Lu Fan took Xia Li to the Government Office and taught him how to speak, how to contact leaders, and how to handle things.
To see the County Head, Xia Li was very nervous. In the past, they hadn't even seen the Town Head, and now they were actually asking the County Head to handle things. His heart was beating wildly.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the Finance Bureau Director came out of Yang Chuanbei's office. Lu Fan greeted him and took Xia Li to push the door and enter.
Yang Chuanbei looked up and said with a smile: "Anything? Sit!"
People who have had economic dealings, no matter how big a leader you are, will not be timid.
Lu Fan sat gently opposite County Head Yang and said respectfully: "County Head, there is really no way for a matter, so I came to ask you with courage!"
Yang Chuanbei looked up, put down his pen, and signaled Lu Fan to continue.
Lu Fan went straight to the theme: "This is my cousin, who grew up with me. He is steady and steady, relatively motivated, and lucky. He passed the career unit exam this time and wants to go to a better unit."
It's not a big deal, but leaders are used to holding people when they have been leaders for a long time. Yang Chuanbei said: "You know, Secretary Hongtao is in charge this time, so it's not easy to say hello. Besides, this batch is uniformly assigned to county-level career units, aren't they all quite good?"
Lu Fan made it clear: "County Head, I heard that the Government Office wants 6 people this time. You have high prestige and love cadres. Can you let my cousin come to the Government Office to serve you?"
"It's not that I don't want to help, but there are too many people saying hello. Just the county-level leaders have settled more than ten. I have a headache now, and it's not easy to offend anyone. Your cousin should wait for an opportunity later!"
Lu Fan didn't give up and continued: "Men are afraid of entering the wrong line. When just starting work, the unit is too important. I know this matter is difficult for you, we are not in a hurry, as long as you keep it in mind, my cousin will have hope."
Seeing this posture, he could only try with "hard goods."
Lu Fan pressed his phone, the phone rang, and he hurriedly got up and said: "County Head, the Minister's call, I have to go down quickly, I have to go to Xinjie Town to the countryside. My cousin brought some tea, please don't dislike it." After finishing, he walked out of the office quickly and signaled Xia Li to "take the lead."
Xia Li came back to his senses and knew that today could determine his future and destiny, and knew he couldn't be cowardly.
So according to Lu Fan's instructions, he plucked up the courage and said: "County Head, hello, my name is Xia Li. I don't understand any rules, this is my little heart, I really want to work in the Government Office!"
Looking at the five "envelopes," Yang Chuanbei hesitated slightly and said: "Don't do this with me, take it back! I see that you are also honest, this matter is really not easy to handle, you go back first, if there is an opportunity, I will try my best to speak for you."
Xia Li stood beside Yang Chuanbei, his face flushed, but his belief was firm, he had to leave the money.
Yang Chuanbei was a little helpless, he couldn't call people from the office or the Discipline Inspection Commission. After all, he had had several "intersections" with Lu Fan, so he had to say helplessly: "I have kept your matter in mind, take the things away, you go back first, otherwise I will absolutely not handle this matter!"
Xia Li could hear the good and bad words, and could only say: "County Head, I listen to you, I will come to thank you later!"
Finally, the person was sent away, but Yang Chuanbei's mentality changed at this time. The few names recorded in the small notebook didn't have as much sincerity as Lu Fan. It wasn't a question of how much money, but mainly a question of sincerity and attitude. Isn't it the same to help anyone? Entering six or seven, isn't it just a word?
