Chapter 404 Heart-to-heart talk
June 21, Capital.
"Your house is nice."
Li Chunyan looked around with a smile, "It's quite stylish."
"Hehe, it can't compare to my sister's big villa."
Jiang Ningyue took Li Chunyan's bag with a smile and put it aside. "Sister, sit wherever you want. Just treat it like your own home."
"Um."
Whenever Li Chunyan came to the capital for a meeting, she would call Jiang Ningyue to get together. Today, she suddenly had the idea of visiting Jiang Ningyue's home in the capital.
"I originally thought it would be easier for you to come to the International Development Agency. Looking at your recent experiences, they're far richer than those at the TV station or the Organization Department."
Jiang Ningyue said helplessly after hearing this: "I've also discovered that I seem to have a special temperament that attracts some strange things."
As she spoke, Jiang Ningyue poured Li Chunyan a cup of tea.
Li Chunyan smiled and nodded. "Who says not? Your experience is enough to write a book."
"Speaking of writing books, I actually wrote one recently."
As she spoke, Jiang Ningyue went to the study, took out a book and handed it to Li Chunyan.
Li Chunyan picked it up and took a look at it, then asked in surprise, "In the Name of the People, what kind of book is that?"
“Anti-corruption.”
"interesting."
Li Chunyan said with a smile, "Using Cai Hanwen as the prototype?"
"hey-hey."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "Almost. I have already sold the script to Lin Chenxi, and she is organizing the filming."
"Okay, you must call me to watch it after it's broadcast." Li Chunyan looked very interested.
"It's a deal."
“Then I’ll keep this book.”
Li Chunyan smiled and said, "It's a good opportunity for you to sign it for me. This will be the first book you've signed yourself."
Jiang Ningyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Is my autograph still valuable?"
"Of course."
Li Chunyan couldn't help but tease.
When a person wears a mask for too long, it is not easy to take it off. Jiang Ningyue is one of the few people besides her family who can make Li Chunyan take off her mask.
Few people like to talk to others with a gloomy face and holding back their anger every day, and few people like to talk to others like guessing riddles every day.
Therefore, Li Chunyan likes to get along with Jiang Ningyue very much.
"Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. You can go to your sister's house for dinner."
"Okay."
Jiang Ningyue had no objection to this.
Li Chunyan asked curiously, "What about Zhao Jing? Do we need to shout at her too?"
"No need." Jiang Ningyue shook her head. "Zhao Jing does have some personal abilities. She's honed them after going out with me twice. She also knows that being with me is a good thing, so there's no need to treat her specially."
"Um."
Li Chunyan nodded and said, "As a leader, you'll never be short of people. However, you need to know who's a fence-sitter, who can bring you benefits, and who you can use. In a department, you should have at least two or three 'in-house' people you trust."
"Speaking of which..."
Jiang Ningyue said, "Didn't I play games with Gu Meng livestreamed during the Lunar New Year? After returning from Osman, people often told me that he also played the game and asked me which zone I was in."
"It's normal for people to follow the example of their superiors."
Li Chunyan smiled and said, "Don't even mention that you're a deputy director now. Even if you're just a deputy section chief, there will be people trying to figure out your preferences and flatter you. This actually represents an attitude; they're actively trying to get closer to you. Don't worry about it, just follow your heart."
"oh……"
Jiang Ningyue nodded.
Li Chunyan continued, "A bureau chief in Lijin City, Haizhou, loves playing basketball. If someone plays basketball with him and makes him happy, he'll promote them. The previous head of the Organization Department in Nanze City also loves playing badminton. He'd drag his female subordinates to the Municipal Party Committee's badminton hall every day to play. Those female subordinates, in turn, catered to his tastes by wearing very revealing jerseys. It had a very negative impact."
“That’s outrageous.”
Jiang Ningyue was stunned. "Has the Organization Department Minister dealt with this?"
"It's dealt with."
Li Chunyan nodded and said, "After Cai Hanwen's downfall, Nanze City disciplined a large number of cadres. There were so many bizarre things going on that I've become numb to them."
"Hahaha."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "Sister, when you have time, call me and complain about this. I love to hear it."
"OK."
Li Chunyan agreed with a smile.
Jiang Ningyue filled the kettle with tea and poured a cup for Li Chunyan. "Sister, you said these leaders are so weird, but don't the mayor and the municipal party secretary know about it? Why don't they deal with it?"
"For leaders, it's normal for people to have emotions and desires."
Li Chunyan said calmly, "Let's say you have two people under you right now, Zhang San and Li Si. They have comparable abilities, but different personalities. Zhang San is a perfect person. He works all the time, meticulously, doesn't smoke, doesn't accept gifts, doesn't have any women, and has no hobbies. His days are all about work. But Li Si is different. He always has some strange ideas and some bad habits that you wouldn't consider too extreme. Which one do you prefer?"
"Zhang San." Jiang Ningyue answered without thinking.
"Why?" Li Chunyan was not surprised by Jiang Ningyue's answer.
Because in Li Chunyan's eyes, Jiang Ningyue is almost like Zhang San.
"Why not?"
Jiang Ningyue was puzzled, "Isn't it supposed to be like this?"
Li Chunyan asked again, "Aren't you afraid that Zhang San will step on you after he gets promoted?"
"Huh? Is there anyone who is promoted faster than me now?"
Jiang Ningyue was stunned. She was only 27 years old and was the deputy director, and someone was stepping on her?
27-year-old main hall?
"Yeah, you see. You like people like Zhang San because you think you can control him and he can't get out of your Five Fingers Mountain."
Li Chunyan explained, "But for most people, deputy director is the pinnacle of their career. Therefore, they prefer Li Si. This kind of person is easy to control. Even if he gets promoted, he will still have interests entangled with them. 'The meat is rotten in the pot,' and he is one of them."
"Understood."
Jiang Ningyue nodded. After all, those who are dedicated to the public are a minority, and most people are selfish.
"So, you don't need to suppress your hobbies too much. Revealing some less fatal weaknesses will make your leader trust you more," Li Chunyan taught.
Jiang Ningyue frowned slightly. She was a boring person.
I was a very boring person before I traveled through time. After traveling to this world and becoming a woman, I became even more boring.
I like playing games, but I don’t have to play them.
You can watch anime if you like, or not if you don’t.
I like to eat delicious food, but I can also swallow a bowl of plain noodles.
If you like luxury cars and mansions, you won’t complain about renting a house near the subway.
I like beautiful women, but I am powerless and my interest in them has faded.
In this life, apart from the ties of relatives, perhaps only Gu Meng and Li Chunyan can be considered important ties, right?
By the way, there is also Nian Sisi. Although we only communicate occasionally on WeChat, I still like this master very much.
Li Chunyan looked at the pensive Jiang Ningyue with a smile, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "By the way, are you still just a deputy director now? Didn't Lao Chai transfer you to the position of director?"
"No."
Jiang Ningyue shook her head and said, "The directors of our ministries are all experienced leaders. Their daily work involves holding meetings, receiving and visiting ministerial leaders from various countries. Their work is very boring and not as free as my deputy position."
Li Chunyan looked at her silly sister. She was already at the deputy department level, but she was still a little childish. Really...
"As long as you're happy."
Li Chunyan could only answer this way.
