Chapter 1664 Changes in Mentality

Liu Fusheng smiled and said: "Governor, today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. I am here to wish you happy new year."

Governor Zhang suddenly said: "When you said that, I remembered that my life was too leisurely and I was a little confused. I thought the Spring Festival was over long ago."

Liu Fusheng said in a joking tone: "The governor is criticizing me because the New Year greetings are not timely enough!"

Governor Zhang shook his head and said with a smile: "You, young man, were originally young and frivolous, but you were infected by the habits of the officialdom. You have to think deeply about every word you say. I just said it casually, and there is no other meaning. You You should know that I don’t like to comment on anything and I won’t find fault with anyone.”

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Governor, I thought too much."

Governor Zhang picked up the thermos cup on the coffee table and drank a glass of water without saying anything.

After Liu Fusheng entered the room, no one poured him water. Now Governor Zhang picked up the thermos cup to drink water, and the meaning was very obvious - to serve tea as a farewell to the guests.

Liu Fusheng seemed to be stunned, sitting quietly on the sofa. Governor Zhang didn't talk to him, and he didn't talk either. He still looked at the ornaments and flowers with interest.

Governor Zhang frowned slightly, put down the thermos cup, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Liu, are you interested in the flowers and plants in the house?"

Liu Fusheng told the truth: "I don't understand this, and I'm not interested in it. I just think it's quite interesting."

Seeing that Liu Fusheng didn't understand flowers and plants, Governor Zhang didn't ask any more questions, picked up the thermos cup and took a sip of water.

Liu Fusheng turned a deaf ear to this.

Governor Zhang sighed and said, "If you have anything to do, just tell me. Don't pretend to be confused with me."

Liu Fusheng said with an innocent face: "Governor, you wrongly blamed me. I just follow your teachings, don't think deeply about everything, and try to keep my mind as calm as possible."

"I found that this feeling is quite good. If I don't think about the deeper meaning of other people's words, I feel relaxed. Looking at the flowers and plants makes me feel happy."

Governor Zhang laughed: "Others say that Fuyuan City has a difficult municipal party committee secretary. In order to get some preferential policies, he even shouted that he would stay at Secretary Ma's house overnight. If he doesn't give the policies, he won't leave. I I thought it was an exaggeration, but today I discovered that there is no smoke without fire, and you, Liu Fusheng, are indeed a difficult character."

Governor Zhang is not young anymore. In such a short time, he drank a lot of tea, and if he drank more, he wouldn't need to eat for a while.

Liu Fusheng said cheerfully: "Governor, please forgive me. Actually, I do have something and I want to ask your advice."

Governor Zhang smiled slightly: "You didn't wake up, or did I? You asked me for instructions, but you asked the wrong person."

Liu Fusheng said: "Don't be too busy to refuse. First, I don't ask you for policies, second, I don't ask you for support, and third, I'm not a freeloader."

Governor Zhang shook his head and said, "Because of this, I am even more worried."

"The former Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Fengliao Province Li Qichi, the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Hu Sanguo, the Municipal Party Committee Secretary of Fengtian City Lu Chake, and the current Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Wang Foye... and even the Provincial Party Committee Secretary Ma Yuqing, these people have treated you The evaluations are very unanimous. They all say that you are smarter than a monkey, with a mind full of all kinds of apertures, and an intestine that is full of twists and turns. I’m telling you, it’s weird if you don’t worry!”

"..."

Liu Fusheng did not expect that Governor Zhang was quite humorous.

"Governor, you have misunderstood me. I have to explain it. Think about it, from the time I entered the civil service to now, what has I done that is not for the sake of the people? Even if I act rogue or use tricks, I will It’s not for personal gain!”

Governor Zhang said: "I agree with this, otherwise I wouldn't have let you sit in my house for so long. The political achievements you have made are something that most people who pursue an official career will never be able to achieve in their lifetime."

Liu Fusheng said with a playful smile: "So, if I ask you for help, it is definitely not against the law or discipline."

Governor Zhang said: "Okay, I'll give you a chance to speak. I also want to hear what Liu Fusheng wants to do."

Liu Fusheng said: "When I took advantage of the Spring Festival to visit the leaders of various departments in the province, I briefly talked with Director Lu of the Provincial Department of Education about the educational development issues in Fuyuan City, and decided to build several schools in Fuyuan City and then hire Some famous teachers from Fengtian used to teach in order to improve the overall education level of Fuyuan City.”

"At the same time, I promised Director Lu that all teachers who are willing to go to Fuyuan City to support education will be given the highest salary level and related benefits in the province."

Governor Zhang nodded and said, "This is a good idea, but what does it have to do with me?"

Liu Fusheng smiled and said: "I would like to ask you to cut the ribbon and deliver a speech at the launch ceremony of Fuyuan City's education plan..."

Governor Zhang waved his hand and said, "I will not participate in this event."

He didn't even hesitate and refused directly.

Liu Fusheng asked curiously: "Why? Isn't this a good thing?"

Governor Zhang said: "Education is a matter of the Department of Education, and investing in improving education standards is a matter of your Fuyuan Municipal Government. If I go there, I will raise this matter to the provincial level, and it is very likely that someone will I mistakenly believe that this is the guiding spirit of the province. Your city of Fuyuan currently has the conditions to engage in education and improve the quality of teaching, but other cities do not develop as fast as Fuyuan. "

"If officials in other cities, because of the provincial participation, start to learn from Fuyuan, it will definitely affect their original development plans, and may also disrupt the government layout, waste people and money, and make more losses than gains."

"I give you a platform and you gain face, but many people will suffer along with it."

Governor Zhang thought very comprehensively and spoke with reason.

Liu Fusheng asked, "What if you, the governor, participate in a private capacity?"

Governor Zhang smiled slightly: "Xiao Liu, don't joke with me. No matter what identity I go to, I am still me."

Liu Fusheng said: "You don't have to be you."

Governor Zhang was stunned: "What do you mean by this?"

Liu Fusheng said: "In fact, I know very well why Governor Zhang adheres to the three no's principle, why he is indifferent to many things, and even hopes to return the power given to you by the country as soon as possible."

Governor Zhang was surprised and said: "Then tell me, I also want to hear what you can know."

Liu Fusheng said: "In the past, your family was very powerful. During the turbulent years, it made outstanding contributions to the stability and unity of the motherland. The country has given your father a very high honor and status. I know that these honors are all It comes from the people, so we set family rules and don’t allow future generations to act in a high profile.”

"In the 1960s and 1970s, your father-in-law passed away unfortunately because of the turmoil. The senior officials felt deeply guilty about this. Later, you took up a casual position in Fengliao Province. After the turmoil subsided, you took up the position of provincial governor."

Liu Fusheng eloquently described Governor Zhang’s growth experience and changes in mentality.

"Perhaps it is a family change that has kept you wary and alienated from society. On the surface, you are at ease and inactive, but in fact, you are cautious and walking on thin ice. Maybe retirement is what you look forward to most?"

"I think you won't even allow future generations to continue in politics."
