Chapter 307 They were all confused
Old Wu suddenly realized: "County Chief, I understand."
My position is still not enough.
I didn't understand what you were doing.
I need to reflect on my actions.
At the time, I thought...
Wu Maocai chuckled awkwardly and dared not continue.
David exhaled a puff of smoke and smiled faintly as he continued, "Did you think I wasn't loyal enough to my friends?"
Should I just stand by and do nothing while Xiao Bu is being bullied?
Hehehe...
You are right to think that way.
I won't be angry; on the contrary, I'll feel gratified.
This shows that you, Brother Cai, are a man of honor.
If you can take such good care of Xiao Lili, one day you will do the same for me.
I feel at ease being your friend.
That's how you praise someone.
Old Wu was still filled with trepidation.
Because he was facing someone who was superior to him in thought and intellect.
Working alongside someone like Dawei requires extreme caution and leaves no room for clever tricks.
"I'll try to persuade Director Xiao later."
I think she'll understand.
I won't tell her what you're thinking.
I will remind her to be mindful of her behavior and not give anyone a handle to use against her.
Furthermore, I would also imply to her that Yao Zhan wouldn't pursue the matter further.
As for Lao Song, I think he'll understand after talking to Yao Zhan and won't keep pressing the issue.
Especially after Zheng Zhiguo arrested those two guys at the internet cafe, Old Song probably won't be able to sleep at night.
When Zheng Zhiguo stopped pushing forward and stopped arresting those who were passing on materials and spreading rumors within the county's organization department, Lao Song knew that we had backed down and were giving him a way out.
If Lao Song doesn't restrain himself...
I'll just have Zheng Zhiguo deal with his subordinate who spread the rumors, and the fire will naturally spread to Lao Song.
With this analysis, the situation immediately became clear.
Actually, Xiao Lili doesn't need to worry; the initiative is still in my hands.
Dawei nodded in satisfaction: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Cai."
"It's not hard work, we all live in the same neighborhood, it's very convenient."
David offered him another cigarette. With Wu Maocai as such a capable subordinate, he certainly had less to worry about.
It's not that Dawei is heartless, nor that he's cunning.
You have to sing a certain song and do a certain thing depending on your position.
In officialdom, being able to remain untainted is a skill, but being able to exploit chaos to achieve one's own goals is also an ability.
True maturity is when you see through the unpleasant things and the scheming, and then you can find your own space to survive, break through the encirclement in the cracks, and realize your ideals.
Again.
Dawei was thinking about how to lead the cadres of Yuanshan County to break through the current situation and improve the county's economic ranking within three years.
A relatively stable and united environment, along with an efficient staffing structure, is more conducive to achieving this goal.
This is the main contradiction at present.
What David needs to do is to firmly grasp the main contradiction; everything else is secondary.
The matter has been resolved.
Wu Maocai showed no sign of leaving, rubbing his hands together as if he had something difficult to say.
David looked him over: "With the door closed, you can say anything."
"County Magistrate..." Old Wu let out a long hiss: "It's this matter."
Wasn't Liao Yongming from the Education Bureau arrested?
Several deputy directors are now eager to make their move and are very active.
They went around asking around, trying to find you, Secretary Zhikai, and even some city leaders.
Now neither you nor Secretary Zhikai have taken a stance, and neither have the city leaders.
They were all confused.
Someone found me.
You want to ask me to pass on a message to you? Some people…
Some people even give this as a gift.
Director Wu rubbed his index finger and thumb together, meaning he wanted to express his gratitude with money.
His expression immediately turned serious.
"But I immediately criticized them."
Get things done.
What's the big deal about talking about money?
Who do you think you are!
I told County Chief Chen and I that we would never accept such money.
I gave them a good scolding.
Isn't this just getting us into trouble?
At this point, Wu Mao chuckled, his tone suddenly changing.
"On the other hand..."
That's the prevailing atmosphere in Meihua City now.
When a position becomes available, everyone goes for it.
Some people who didn't want to run, or who thought they had no chance, still went to run anyway.
It's as if not running means falling behind, being unmotivated, or lacking ambition.
It's very rolled up.
From this perspective, there's nothing wrong with seeking official positions through bribery.
But giving money or gifts is absolutely wrong.
Your attitude and that of Secretary Zhikai are currently unclear.
People outside are extremely anxious.
I dare to ask...
What were your considerations in selecting the new Director of Education?
Wu Maocai looked at Dawei cautiously and asked in a very low voice.
As David just said, everyone can talk behind closed doors, so Wu Maocai can speak his mind.
Upon hearing this, Dawei crossed his legs and frowned slightly as he pondered.
This is the first time Director Wu has taken the initiative to inquire about personnel arrangements.
David was very clear at this point that this was not a simple matter of inquiring about personnel arrangements.
This reflects many underlying issues.
First, it shows that Director Wu wants to further solidify his position.
He interfered in personnel matters, so the newly appointed director of the Education Bureau is Wu Maocai's friend.
During the period when Dawei and Wu Maocai had a close relationship, this kind of operation was not a problem, and Dawei allowed Lao Wu to do so.
In a way, this is also a reward for Wu Maocai.
Giving this office director more actual decision-making power means that Wu Maocai will have more authority.
The spread of Wu Maocai's power meant the dilution of the power held by Dawei and Xiao Zhikai.
David doesn't care as long as the degree of dilution is controllable.
Dawei could even use this dilution against him—by having him dilute Secretary Zhikai's dilution instead of Dawei's.
second question.
Wu Maocai is an extremely intelligent person.
He won't easily speak up about things he's not sure about.
The fact that he came to discuss this matter today means that he already has someone in mind.
The reason for asking is that they hope David will accept the person he has in mind.
"I haven't discussed this matter with Secretary Zhikai yet."
He was busy both in the city and the county.
He attended a meeting in the county today, and then went back to the city.
There are so many things I want to talk to Secretary Zhikai about, but we haven't had a chance to discuss them yet.
The secretary he left in the county, Xiao Zhang, was just a messenger and didn't play any real role.
We've discussed this further, and Secretary Zhikai and I have reached an agreement. I'll let you know our preferred candidate later.
Dawei knew Wu Maocai's intentions, but he gave him a vague and perfunctory response.
They agreed to inform Wu Maocai of the candidate in advance, but did not reveal it immediately, deliberately saying that they needed to communicate with Secretary Zhikai.
This was to force Wu Maocai to reveal his preferred candidate. Once he did, Wu Maocai would tacitly agree that he was involved in personnel matters, which would put him in a subordinate position and make him easier to manage.
"I'll say something I shouldn't have."
Secretary Zhikai's actions are actually giving you space.
"They keep Secretary Zhang around to shut others up; they want to bring everyone to you so you can make all the decisions."
