In this government compound of Jiangfeng City, there were many experts. There were hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There were those who faked their horses, set traps, pretended to be pretentious, and those who had deep connections. Was Ren Feng that kind of person? He had a lot of connections. This was also the reason why he could be the deputy director of the office for more than a year at such a young age.
When he arrived at the office in the afternoon, he saw a few people whispering to each other. When they saw him come in, they all stopped talking and returned to their seats. Ren Feng was puzzled. What was there to be proud of? Seeing their jealous expressions, he shook his head and entered his office.
They were too lazy to greet them. These people were like this every day, commenting on everything. In their desire, it was best for everyone to be unlucky. If they heard that others had been promoted and made a fortune, it would definitely hurt their suppressed hearts.
They couldn't be blamed for this. For ordinary government workers, their daily work here was unusually monotonous and boring. Every day, they would work at sunrise and rest at dusk. They would go to work at dawn and leave work at dusk. They did some fixed jobs and were really bored to the core. They hoped to have some gossip to adjust and enrich their work and life. Therefore, everyone was very interested in the news of Ren Feng becoming a candidate for deputy county magistrate.
After a while, the office director, Xia Tianli, entered Ren Feng's office. Director Xia was a rather slick and experienced person. His greatest skill was to be able to see the current situation clearly. To be able to get to this position steadily in a place like the government where the wind and clouds were changing and the undercurrents were surging, and to be able to sit there with ease for all these years, one could imagine that he was not an ordinary person.
Today, he said to Ren Feng in that rare kind tone,""Brother wants to congratulate you. Do you want to treat a guest?”
Ren Feng was confused. Why was Director Xia so intimate with him today? He had always been the target of his strict defense in the past, always afraid that he would snatch the class and seize power. Today was really strange. Ren Feng joked,"What's there to congratulate me for? Don't tell me I'll take over your position as the director when you become the chief surgeon? Hehehe."
Director Xia glared at him and said,""Don't talk nonsense. You might not know this, but the deputy county head of Qinglin County has been appointed. He's preparing to be selected from the city, and you're one of the candidates.”
Ren Feng was really shocked. Some time ago, he had heard that the corruption of the deputy county head of Qinglin County had been dug up, but he did not expect it to have anything to do with him. He quickly asked,"Where did you start? Don't joke with me.”
Director Xia sighed and said," I'm just unlucky. Good things never happen to me. But don't be happy first. I heard that there's also Deputy Director Xiao from the publicity department and Deputy Director Zhang from the archives bureau. The three of you are on the list for this selection. It's hard to say if you can make it. You should start moving early."”
Ren Feng started to ponder. If he could become a deputy county magistrate, that would be great. It would be much better than being ordered around by the city government. After entering there, it would be a positive outcome.
He used an indifferent expression to hide his excitement and replied with a smile,"How are we going to do it? Let nature take its course.”
Department Director Xia shook his head, seemingly believing him. He looked at him, smiled, and walked out. He really hoped that he could push Ren Feng out as soon as possible. That way, he would not have to worry about it and would not have nightmares about him replacing his department director.
After Director Xia left, Ren Feng started to think seriously. He compared his advantages and disadvantages and seriously estimated his chances of being elected. He was somewhat worried.
The biggest problem was that there were three candidates. How could he win?？He then looked for his old classmate. He called him, but there was no signal. He tried a few times, but it was the same. He cursed,"Damn it, I can't find you at the critical moment.”
After putting down the phone, he had to seriously consider this problem. He had to think about how to defeat the strong enemy and let himself become the deputy county head smoothly.
He had a good relationship with Liu Yu, so he might as well go and take a look. He flipped open the table, took two good cigarettes, and turned to the backyard.
In a small courtyard at the back of the municipal government, there were some flowers and plants planted in the courtyard. The chief liked to grow flowers very much. Every morning, he would personally water the flowers. Ordinary people did not have the right to water them.
There was once when the boss didn't come back from a meeting for a few days. Director Xia had been conflicted for a long time in the office. In the end, he called him to get his approval. Then, he carefully watered the pot. In the next few weeks, he was on tenterhooks. He was afraid that one or two pots of water would die. That would be a serious problem.
Ren Feng had also been here many times, but he was a little nervous to come here with ulterior motives like today. After knocking on the door and entering, Liu Yu raised his chubby round face and smiled at Ren Feng."Have a seat first. I'll be done soon."
Ren Feng sat on the genuine leather sofa and habitually took out a cigarette. However, after thinking about it, he put it back. Chief Liu was busy and it was not good to smoke now. It would be even more impolite to light it himself. It was best if he behaved like a good child now, obedient, honest, and had no bad habits.
Very quickly, Chief Liu stood up, puffed out his chest and belly, and Yuan Ting came in front of Ren Feng. Ren Feng immediately felt that he was being self-deprecating. Look at his belly, look at himself. He didn't have the belly of a leader at all. Without a belly, he didn't have the temperament of a leader.
Chief Liu knew why Ren Feng was here. Although he was fat, his heart was different from his appearance. He could easily see through other people's thoughts. He smiled and said to Ren Feng,"Aren't you being a little impatient? Some things need to be taken lightly. I was the one who brought you up at this meeting, but in the end, it still depends on Secretary Han's opinion. Don't act blindly.”
Ren Feng saw that the chief had seen through his thoughts as soon as he came up, so he smiled a little embarrassedly and said,"Chief Shi, you're really good at predicting things. I'm just a little nervous, afraid that I'll let you down.”
Chief Liu chuckled and said,""Do what you should do. I will speak up for you at the appropriate time.”
Ren Feng carefully said,"What do you mean?"”
There was a hint of unreadable expression in Chief Liu's eyes, but he instantly returned to his normal state and said,"Stop with stillness."
Ren Feng nodded and left.
Watching Ren Feng leave, Chief Liu also fell into deep thought. This Ren Feng was someone on his side, and he had a classmate above him. He really should help him. He had also observed Ren Feng for a period of time. He was quick-witted and flexible, and his ability to do things was also good. He still had a lot of potential. As long as he was taught more in the future, he could completely stand alone. Then, he would have a little more influence to extend.
However, Secretary Han's autocracy was overbearing, especially when it came to personnel issues. He pulled up the cordon and refused to budge. It was as if he wanted to snatch his power. He was afraid that it would be the same for the county magistrate this time. It would be difficult for him to intervene.
Therefore, Ren Feng couldn't be too active, so as to avoid Secretary Han's unwarranted suspicion.
What kind of person was Ren Feng? Ren Feng had a deep understanding and perception of the undercurrents and changes in the official world. He knew all the rules of officialdom. This might be his natural instinct. He could see many tricks that others could not understand. When he came out of the chief's office just now, he knew that it was not good for the chief to interfere in his affairs. Whether he could become the chief or not depended on himself.
Thinking of this, he lowered his head and returned to the office. It was easy to deal with one opponent, but now there were two. Deputy Director Xiao of the publicity department was on Secretary Han's side. It would be more difficult to deal with him than to deal with Deputy Director Zhang of the archives bureau.
However, no matter how difficult it was, he had to think of a way. However, how should he play this game of chess?？？
Just thinking about it made him sigh. It had been almost two years since he came to Jiangfeng City. He rarely went back to his hometown, which was far away. He worked day and night, and he often called. However, the feeling and memories of being at home were so beautiful. If his girlfriend hadn't left him so heartlessly, if they were still in love, perhaps he wouldn't have left his hometown in a fit of anger and come to this place.
Now, he still had to rack his brains for a lousy county head. It was really troublesome.
