Chapter 95: Starting to Operate

After several years of getting along, Han Guishan recognized Lu Fan's character, gradually accepted this young man with cultivation value, and sincerely helped him come up with ideas.

"Xiao Fan, at the provincial and municipal levels, everyone is clearly divided, and whose person you are is clear at a glance. Even if you want to change sides, no one will easily accept you. But at the county level, due to frequent adjustments of leadership teams, there are many uncertain factors. Coupled with the fact that grassroots work is mainly about practical work, many people are watching, or rather, playing tricks.

Your current situation is very subtle. I suggest you go to work in a township, where it is easier to achieve results. Nowadays, people pay more attention to township work experience, and you don't have to hover under the eyes of the Secretary and Deputy Secretary."

"Secretary-General, what position do you think I could get if I go to a township?"

Han Guishan thought for a moment and said: "Under normal circumstances, a Deputy Director of the County Party Committee Office being sent down should be given a township secretary position, and you are also the secretary of the County Party Committee Secretary, which gives you an advantage. But your age is really hard to say; it depends on Gao Yuanfei's courage."

Lu Fan sighed and said with difficulty: "If I could go to a township, that would be the best. I also want to do some concrete work and exercise my ability to handle complex affairs. But I am Secretary Gao's secretary, and I really can't bring this up."

Han Guishan smiled and said: "You're playing ideas on me? But you've only been Secretary Gao's secretary for a year, and the running-in period has just passed. Wanting to be sent down now seems a bit too hasty, and it's indeed not appropriate for you to bring it up yourself. Let's do this: I'll find an opportunity to talk to Gao Yuanfei. As for whether it will work, it depends on his thinking on using people. The County Party Committee Secretary has a lot of power!"

Lu Fan thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Secretary-General, for your cultivation. If I can go down, I won't be in a dilemma. I will definitely seize this opportunity, work steadily and do some solid things, and strive to achieve some results."

Thinking about the current society, how can one get things done empty-handed? So he tentatively said: "Secretary-General, I know that getting things done requires 'lubrication', and I can't let you owe favors. I brought some this time, please don't take offense!" After speaking, he took out his handbag.

Han Guishan immediately darkened his face and said: "Usually, I don't say anything when you bring some tea, just taking it as a junior's heart. If you play this trick on me, don't enter my door in the future!"

Lu Fan was ashamed and hung his head, not knowing what to say.

Han Guishan said earnestly: "Maybe you are used to doing this at the grassroots level, but at a certain level, taking this is a bit laughable! Think about it, does Gao Yuanfei accept this when adjusting personnel? Even if he accepts a hundred people's, can it compare to one project? And among these hundred people, how many can keep their mouths shut? By then, it will be all over the city, wouldn't the loss outweigh the gain? Any leader with political aspirations will not make such a low-level mistake."

Lu Fan accepted it with an open mind, but couldn't help saying: "It's just that I'm embarrassed to let you owe so many favors for my affairs. Secretary-General, I was abrupt!"

"Xiao Fan, I am helping you. To be honest, at first, it was for the sake of Xuyang and Xinpu. We have known each other for several years. If you were rotten mud that couldn't be supported on the wall, I wouldn't continue to help you.

As for how I connect with Gao Yuanfei, it's not as complicated as you think, nor is it that simple. You don't need to worry about this.

A piece of advice for you: don't become a 'bureaucratic oil slick' when being an official. Those who have no people in their hearts, ignore the interests of the masses, are busy guessing the intentions of superiors all day long, act according to the faces of superiors, and seek to 'rely on the good wind to send me to the blue clouds', will not go far!

Your attitude towards work will determine your outlook on life, values, and career, as well as how much you do, how well you do it, and how far you go in the end.

For example, Wang Hongtao, even Governor Yixing appreciates him. Such officials cannot be stopped even if you want to. I hope you can learn from him and keep up with him. As long as you are excellent enough, others cannot ignore you, and everywhere is a stage."

Han Guishan's words were deafening, making Lu Fan alert. He had indeed gone astray on this path!

"Secretary-General, I will definitely keep your teachings in mind. I reflect on myself three times a day. Please rest assured, I will definitely not let you down!"

He had been working for almost five years, and Lu Fan gradually understood that the biggest unspoken rule in officialdom is that the relationship between people is essentially based on the ability to conduct some kind of interest exchange. Therefore, one must try every means to make oneself useful enough and make oneself valuable in the eyes of others. As for how to do it, it takes a lifetime of energy to understand and practice.

After visiting Han Guishan, Lu Fan basically achieved his goal, played easily for a day, ended the National Day holiday, and returned to Ningyang.

On this very day, Le Xuezhi reluctantly sent Qing Chen back to Ningyang. During this period, he enjoyed happiness he had never experienced before, and that peak "skill" was endless in aftertaste!

When parting, looking at Le Xuezhi's melancholy face and thinking about the time they spent together day and night, Qing Chen didn't know why she felt a trace of guilt and said "I'm sorry" in her heart!

The world is impermanent. I am a woman, and my heart is kind, but the world is turbid, and everyone is evil to me. If it weren't for the pressure of life, who would be willing to go through the vicissitudes of life and fall into the bottomless abyss!

Turning her head, Qing Chen restored her demoness nature and dialed the phone number that had "harassed" her some time ago, which was also one of her targets.

Le Xueli was socializing in Yingjiang. Seeing the caller note "Great Beauty", he immediately got into spirit, hid in the bathroom and said: "Seeing your number, I am overjoyed. Great Beauty Qing Chen, can you give me a chance?"

"County Head Le, I need money!"

Le Xueli laughed. Money is a good thing. Even if you are a chaste and strong woman, you have to take off your pants and show your buttocks. Whether you are a hero or a hero, you have to bend your knees. As long as the money is in place, there is no girl you can't take down!

"Money is easy to talk about. My Le family keeps their word, 100,000 yuan, not a penny less! Can we meet today?"

"I am in Ningyang. As long as the money is in place, I am yours. It just so happens that these few days are a safe period, you can enjoy yourself!"

Once these words came out, it was no less than the most violent aphrodisiac, making Le Xueli dizzy. He immediately said goodbye to his friends and rushed towards Ningyang.

In order to enjoy himself, Le Xueli specifically asked for leave from the County Head, planning to take Qing Chen to Chang'an to have fun. After all, he is a Deputy County Head, and the target in Ningyang is too big.

After the National Day holiday, Gao Yuanfei met with County Head Hu Chengwei, Deputy Secretary Bian Jide, and the Organization Department Head to discuss work. Lu Fan took the opportunity of delivering documents to hear some of the conversation content and knew that the Secretary was arranging personnel adjustments at the end of the year.

Taking advantage of the Secretary's lack of busyness, Lu Fan came to Deputy Secretary Bian Jide's office and said with a smile: "Secretary, let me report on my ideological work."

Bian Jide smiled slightly and said: "You should report this ideological work to Secretary Gao."

"Secretary, when drinking water, don't forget the well-digger. Without your promotion, there would be no me today. You know my character. I definitely understand the truth of repaying kindness and remembering the source. If I have done anything inappropriate, you can criticize and correct me at any time, and I will definitely correct it immediately."

"Alas, I can understand you. Secretary Gao's thinking is unrestrained. I really didn't expect you to be his secretary. The arm cannot twist the thigh. This is also a rare training opportunity. Work hard."

"Secretary, if there is an opportunity, I still want to go out."

"Go out? Do you want to go to a township? Or a department?"

"If possible, I want to go to a township."

Bian Jide thought for a moment and said: "There will be a personnel adjustment at the end of the year, but it is difficult for you to go. After all, your age is there, and I'm afraid Secretary Gao doesn't have such courage. Except for Wang Hongtao, I haven't seen a township secretary or mayor in his twenties. Besides, I can at most beat the drums on the side. If I say too much, it will cause Secretary Gao's misunderstanding, which will be counterproductive."

"I am very grateful that you can speak for me! Alas, it is my luck to get it, and my fate to lose it. I don't really want to stay in the County Party Committee Office."

"Will you go if you are a mayor? This operation might have a possibility of success."

Lu Fan felt very awkward. The mayor is only the second-in-command, which is not as good as continuing to be a secretary to build up qualifications. He said: "Secretary, there are high and low steps. A Deputy Director of our County Party Committee Office being sent out is either a township secretary or a big bureau director."

Bian Jide smiled and said: "Okay, I know. I will say what I should say. Do human efforts and listen to fate. I can't grasp Secretary Gao's pulse!"

Influenced by Wang Hongtao, going to a township became Lu Fan's obsession, and he spared no effort for it. Reality is just like this. As long as you can reach the top of the mountain, no one cares whether you got there on your knees, crawled there, or took a car there. Face is not important, emotions are not important, and the process is not important. What is important is the ending. When you finally stand there, all the past will be laughed off. So don't think so much, just bury your head and climb up.

On Thursday afternoon, Lu Fan followed Gao Yuanfei to the provincial capital. Every month, he would take a few days to "stroll" in the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, calling friends at night to consolidate his connections.

Gao Yuanfei went to the Provincial Party Committee, and Lu Fan went to the Chang'an People's Kitchen. He had been here more than ten times, and he ordered Kung Pao Chicken, Crispy Pork, Double Pepper Fish Head, Signature Pot Stickers, Vegetable and Meat Wonton, Small Stir-fry King, Pumpkin Porridge, Sauna Eggplant, and Crab Roe Tofu Soup, all of which are the restaurant's signature dishes.

Around six o'clock, Gao Yuanfei and several leaders entered the private room laughing and talking. Lu Fan hurriedly served tea and water, acting as a waiter.

Lu Fan had seen these leaders before; they were division directors from the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, Finance Department, and Industry and Information Technology Department. One of them was Gao Yuanfei's classmate.

Not long after, Han Guishan also came. The whole room stood up to welcome him and pushed him to the main seat.
