Chapter 829: An Interlude in the Secretarial Department
Although Wang Wenjie is not currently a deputy director or deputy division-level official, he cannot help but be recognized by everyone for calling him that.
Wang Wenjie calmly glanced at the gathered section chiefs and said, "Mayor Qi has given me half a day off. I'd like to have two or three comrades from the section take over my duties temporarily. Do you have any good recommendations?"
When they heard that Qi Tongwei would be Qi Tongwei's temporary secretary, everyone's eyes lit up, and even the pupils of several secretarial department heads shrank unnaturally.
Qi Tongwei! He's the de facto leader of Beishan City.
The secretary has a private title, called the No. 2 Chief. This No. 2 Chief is not something that any secretary of a leader can call him. Only the secretary of the top leader of each unit can call him that.
Who is the second-in-command of Beishan City? Of course, it is Mayor Qi’s secretary.
This is a great opportunity.
If they replace Wang Wenjie and become the mayor's new secretary because of their good performance, then these section chiefs will be promoted to deputy director at the deputy department level tomorrow.
Even if it doesn't work, it's still nice to show your face in front of the leaders. After all, there are not many opportunities like this to show your ability to the leaders. How can you not make them tempted?
After all, Wang Wenjie has been in the archives for so many years. In his spare time, he is used to observing the ups and downs of the two offices and knows all the secretaries' little thoughts.
The struggle for power and profit is everywhere. Even though it is only half a day, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these secretaries.
Sometimes, if your leader likes you, it just takes one thing or one action.
Half a day is enough.
This is also one of the reasons why he is unwilling to rest.
Think about these secretaries, sometimes they are no different from eunuchs in feudal dynasties.
Personal development depends entirely on the favor of the leader. The leader is high above you. If you do something to please him, he can change your destiny with just one word.
How to please your leader is a very vague concept. The simplest way is to share the joys and sorrows with him.
So at this critical moment, he really didn't want to leave, but he was worried that it would offend his leader and he felt that he was too hypocritical, so he had no choice but to obey his leader's wishes.
Thinking with a sense of crisis, Wang Wenjie looked at everyone with a hint of hostility in his eyes.
The others also reacted at this time, and worried that Wang Wenjie would misunderstand them, they hurriedly toned down a little.
If you try to steal the spotlight from the mayor's secretary, isn't that courting death? If you succeed, it's fine. If you don't, you'll probably be in for a lot of trouble.
Everyone was thinking of a foolproof plan, how to get this job without offending Secretary Wang, and the huge office suddenly became quiet.
"Why aren't you talking?" Wang Wenjie retracted his hostile gaze and said to Section Chief Ma of Section 2, "Section Chief Ma, you're the most senior section chief here. Can you recommend two?"
Section Chief Ma cautiously pushed the subject back, "Director Wang, look at what you said. I'm just older, but my qualifications are far inferior to yours.
To be honest, the comrades in our government office are actually quite good and each has his or her own strengths.
However, we don't know Mayor Qi's personalities, and if we randomly recommend someone, it would be bad if it affected the mayor's work. So I think it depends on your opinion, because you know Mayor Qi best."
Wang Wenjie said with a smile: "Look, Lao Ma, you are praising me again.
Our mayor, don’t listen to what people say about him being harsh and strict. In fact, he is very gentle to the people around him.
As long as there are no major problems, he generally won't blame anyone.
But, Lao Ma, what you said makes sense. Even though it's only half a day, we still have to take Mayor Qi's work habits into consideration, especially the sales conference in the next few days, which is of great significance to our city, and no problems can be allowed to occur.
In this business area, the ability must be outstanding, and must be able to meet the work needs of our mayor and not delay the mayor's important matters.
However, it may be difficult to take over these tasks in a short period of time, so this is why I have to choose two or three people to take over for half a day.
However, we cannot relax our standards just because there are so many people; we must still select the best from the best.”
Wang Wenjie deliberately chose two or three people. His subordinates also had factions and it was common for them to sabotage each other.
Only by letting them check and balance each other can he sleep peacefully.
Despite this, it did not discourage everyone, and everyone still looked eager to try.
The young Section Chief Gu, the head of the Seventh Secretary Section, could not help but say, "Director Wang, when we select three people, could you consider picking one of our section chiefs to be the main person in charge?
We section chiefs all have good professional skills, and with two more section staff, we should be able to handle it."
These words immediately aroused Wang Wenjie's vigilance.
From the secretarial section chief?
If Mayor Qi values this, he can replace him in no time.
Wang Wenjie remained calm, looking at the other section chiefs, and finally exchanged a glance with Section Chief Xu of the Fourth Secretary Section. "What are your opinions?"
Section Chief Xu was Fan Ningde's nephew, the nephew of the government office director who had helped Wang Wenjie. He belonged to Wang Wenjie's faction and said, "The deputy mayors have been giving us quite a bit of work these days. I think we section chiefs should hold off on it. Let's give the younger ones a chance. Choose one of the three to take the lead, and the other two can just support us."
Wang Wenjie was very happy about the other party's assist, but he said: "What kind of opportunity is this? It's just a temporary help for me for half a day. But what you said is also right, Xiao Xu.
Young people should exercise themselves and not stay in the archives for so many years like me."
Wang Wenjie's words stopped the section chiefs from thinking about it, but did not stop their competition.
When you are in the office, every opportunity is hard to come by. Even if you cannot get it yourself, you can exchange it for benefits with your subordinates.
What's more, they also have confidants and a community of interests. It is better to push their own confidants to the top than to push their opponents' people to the top.
Section Chief Shen of the Fifth Section said, "We have an old man named Liao in our section. He's about 30 years old and worked as a secretary to a former deputy mayor for a few days. He's experienced and has a steady personality. Would you like to consider him as one of our assistants?"
Wang Wenjie had some impression of this old Liao. He heard that he worked as a secretary to a deputy mayor for more than ten days. After that, the deputy mayor was investigated and he was sent back to his hometown. Because of this incident, no leader dared to use him, so he stayed in the secretariat to organize materials.
Before Wang Wenjie could respond, Section 6 Chief Qi said, "Old Shen, this won't work. Old Liao was the former deputy mayor's secretary for just over ten days, and then the deputy mayor was investigated. This is really bad luck. If Mayor Qi finds out and blames him, we won't be able to bear the consequences."
After all, in official circles, people are more or less wary of such things, wondering whether it will harm their leaders.
Section Chief Shen was choked and did not refute.
Wang Wenjie has a different opinion. He thinks Lao Liao is very suitable.
Why? Because the leader he served was under investigation, which naturally made the leader feel rejected.
He can also feel more at ease.
"Old Qi, you're worrying too much. Our Mayor Qi doesn't believe in this at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used those two Casters.
Do you think that car is a hindrance to our Mayor Qi? I think it is actually making our mayor more prosperous.
Don't worry, no one else can defeat our Hongfuqi Mayor Qi, so let's count him in."
