Chapter 694: Waiting in the Study
December is the rainy season in Beijing, but as the end of the year approaches, government departments are becoming increasingly busy. They not only have to check the work progress for the whole year, but also have to formulate a work plan for next year.
If it is accomplished, the whole department rejoices;
If there are still deficiencies, then we need to consider whether the remaining time is enough to complete the task;
If it cannot be completed, we have to summarize the reasons. If the reason is man-made disaster rather than natural disaster, then failure is inevitable.
If any department ranks last and there is no understanding from the Prime Minister, resignation is inevitable.
And the Prime Minister will definitely not forgive anyone unless he receives instructions from the Earl.
This power belongs more to Wang Yuanchao than to the Prime Minister.
But those who have completed the task also have troubles, because the work goals are affected by the current development points and budget.
Although the 25th Five-Year Plan has been established, there will be differences and adjustments when the plan is broken down into various departments.
For regional chief officers, changes in individual indicators will not affect changes in the overall indicators.
If the increase is small and is greatly increased when it is handed over to the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister will give the impression that the individual is opportunistic and not striving for excellence. If the increase is large and is greatly reduced, the individual will be seen as superficial and unrealistic.
Only after repeated investigation and consideration, and the final data adjustment with little fluctuation, can the management level of the heads of the cabinet and local officials be revealed.
Prime Minister Cai Peng is also under great pressure, as the goals of various departments and regions are bound to be pushed back and forth and calculated.
Ultimately, these goals and completion rates will be presented to Earl Wang. The challenges faced by the cabinet and regional leaders will also test Cai Peng.
This is his second term. Unless something unexpected happens, a prime minister can only stay in power for a maximum of ten years.
From a place with a lot of things to do to hosting the Olympic Games, if everything goes well, there will definitely be a bronze statue in the future.
Cai Peng, who has already achieved financial freedom, is working hard for this goal of posthumous fame and does not dare to slack off.
Wang Xiao ran to his elder brother Chen Kui's office.
As the mayor of Shangjing, Chen Kui's main job is to build Shangjing's city and prepare for the Olympic Games.
Coincidentally, Wang Xiao's family is the main force in urban construction.
The Second House has been engaged in steel and cement for many years and is experienced in it. It is also constantly expanding its construction team. It can be said that one quarter of the construction work in Beijing is controlled by the Second House.
After graduation, Wang Xiao came to Shangjing and took charge of the construction of the second house personally. The construction progressed very rapidly, and Chen Kui was very satisfied with this brother.
If Wang Xiao was not in charge, the results would be very different.
"Brother, I find my job too unchallenging." Wang Xiao sat in front of Chen Kui, looking a little confused.
Chen Kui smiled and said:
"You, do you think your job is not challenging enough? Why don't you come and help me? I can nominate you to be the deputy mayor in charge of urban construction."
The Shangjing City Council will definitely approve Chen Kui’s nomination, because his mother Chen Xueru is the chief speaker of the Boro State!
Wang Xiao's heart was moved. This elder brother was so generous. Did he see through his intentions, or did he really just want him to help?
But no matter which one it is, Wang Xiao did not take the initiative to expose his target, right?
"It's inappropriate, isn't it? The current deputy mayor in charge of urban construction is doing a good job. If you dismiss him without reason, people will hate him." Wang Xiao said insincerely.
Chen Kui glanced at his younger brother and said:
"Like you said, he's doing a good job, why remove him? You can let him manage other aspects of the work, so that he can compete for the top position in other provinces in the future. Do you think he would be happy?"
There are always officials being taken down for various reasons, especially at the end of each year, when even more officials are taken down for poor performance of their tasks.
After receiving support from the mainland, the Boluo Kingdom is now strong in both military and military power, and no longer has to face the dilemma of insufficient management manpower when the country was founded.
When it comes to personnel management, the mainland's thousands of years of experience is not to be underestimated.
Wang Xiao smiled embarrassedly:
"I thought it was simple for a moment."
Chen Kui said:
"The success or failure of a shopping mall often depends on market demand and product quality, and the requirement for management is that money is in place. As long as money is in place, management will be much easier.
It is different in the officialdom. At least on the surface, there is no talk of remuneration in the officialdom. More often than not, the remuneration in the officialdom may be interpersonal relationships and position, which is a luxury.
But aren’t we all flocking to officialdom?
Although competition in the business world is fierce, the rules are relatively transparent; competition in the officialdom is multifaceted and sometimes even secretive, requiring more wisdom and means to deal with.
The business world is about the exchange of interests, while the officialdom is more about the struggle for power.
Although the business world is like a battlefield, it is nothing compared to the calculations, intrigues and cruelty in officialdom.
Brother, a young talent like you can definitely try your hand in the officialdom.
This is a completely different experience from the mall, a brand new experience.”
Chen Kui's persuasive words made Wang Xiao feel fascinated and said:
"Brother, you know I like challenges. I like to do things that my peers can't do, that is..."
Seeing that his brother was still keeping it a secret, Chen Kui also cooperated and said:
"What's wrong?" "I'm worried that my father will think that I'm not doing my job properly and am too ambitious." Wang Xiao said seriously.
Chen Kui couldn't help laughing, and glanced around to make sure there was no one around, then he whispered:
“This is my uncle’s property!
Even I can receive such an honor here, let alone you?
You are your uncle’s biological son!
Your brother, I also have two children now. Only by becoming a father can I understand a father's thoughts.
If you can perform well, I'm afraid your uncle will be so happy that he won't be able to contain himself!"
Chen Kui has been immersed in Boluo State for several years and is very familiar with the official ecology here.
It is impossible for him not to be tempted by the position of prime minister, but whether he can succeed in the end depends on whether his uncle will give him the opportunity.
After all, his mother is already the chief speaker of one of the three giants. If he serves as one of the three giants again, the Chen family will probably become a top family in Boro State.
So he guessed that being a high-ranking cabinet official would be the top of his career.
After all, this is the Wang family's business, not the Chen family's.
If his mother had been more courageous and had changed his name to Wang Kui like Aunt Letty did, maybe he could have gone further.
Well, now that things have come to this, let’s not talk about it. His position has already made many people envious.
At least he has a half-brother who is still struggling to make ends meet in the mainland, right?
So, since he can't reach the highest position, turning to training his children is also an option, right?
As long as his children can become high-ranking officials in the cabinet, the Chen family will become a prominent family that will prosper as much as the country of Boluo.
My mother told me that Hong Kong would be the eldest wife's private land in the future. Although it was much more developed than Boluo, Chen Kui felt that it could not compare to the situation in Boluo where one's word was law.
He didn't know what his uncle was thinking, but he would definitely not abandon the empire of Boluo that his uncle had worked so hard to build.
The eldest branch of the family won't come out, and the other branches are competing for Boluo. Could it be that the uncle will give it to an outsider instead of his son?
Wang Xiao is on good terms with him, so if Wang Xiao wants to compete for that position, wouldn't that be in the best interest of him?
Whether it is his mother, him, or Aunt Letty, they can all be Wang Xiao’s biggest supporters, right?
They support Wang Xiao so much, won't Wang Xiao support and give back to his nephews in the future?
In fact, it is also an exchange of interests.
Wang Xiao's mind was already beaming with joy. This was his elder brother's teaching. It was his elder brother who opened his Pandora's box, not Wang Xiao's initiative.
So he nodded and said:
"In fact, my father had encouraged me to come to Boro State to develop well before. At that time, I didn't think as deeply as you do, brother, and thought it was just a polite remark from my father.
Brother, now that you mention it, I think it’s a good idea to give it a try.
Am I a little too young?"
Chen Kui didn't notice anything and said with a smile:
"What's wrong with being young?
There are a lot of young cadres in Boluo State, and they will promote the best without regard to their relationship with others!
if……
How about this, you and your brother go to ask our chief speaker Chen tonight and listen to her opinions?"
Mother Chen Xueru is the old master, and Chen Kui is always honest in front of her mother.
My uncle has so many children, and the seventh room must be the closest to the second room.
If I could get the support of Aunt Xueru, I would wake up with a smile in my sleep. Are the three giants of Boro State just talk in vain?
Wang Xiao rubbed his hands unconsciously and said:
"Okay, I'll listen to you, big brother. After all, you are well-informed!"
After get off work, Wang Xiao went to Chen Kui's house and had dinner with his brother and sister-in-law. Because Chairman Chen had an evening social event, even though they were his sons, they couldn't make an appointment directly. He had to wait until Chairman Chen came back to sleep, and then squeeze out some time to chat with them.
That's their advantage, right?
After Chen Xueru came back, the housekeeper said that Mayor Chen Kui and General Manager Wang Xiao called the mansion today and said they would come to visit. Would the Speaker General take the time to meet them?
One is her man’s son, and the other is her own son. How could she not see them?
Even though she had some vague guesses in her mind, she decided to wait until they met to discuss the matter.
So Chen Xueru said:
"Tell them to come directly to my study. I'll take a bath first."
Chen Kui and Wang Xiao drove directly to the Speaker's Mansion and arrived at Chen Xueru's study without any obstruction.
Chen Kui skillfully took out a cigar from his mother's study and threw it to Wang Xiao. Wang Xiao took a look and thought, it was the one his own father liked and had given him!
Chen Kui said:
"It's changed regularly. You know what I mean."
Wang Xiao smacked his lips and wondered if he should hurry up and marry his girlfriend next year. With his personality, not to mention that his father thought he looked like him, Aunt Xueru would probably also think that she was indeed his father's child, right?
If Wang Xiao wasn't there, Chen Kui might have just flipped through it, but Wang Xiao was there, so Chen Kui had to be careful. The two brothers just sat there smoking.
That’s not right. If Wang Xiao didn’t come, Chen Kui could have gone straight to his mother Chen Xueru’s bedroom. Why would he have to wait in the study?
