Chapter 3: The Words of Lung and Liver

  Wei Jianmin was in a bad mood, while Han Qin had already entered his office with a smile. Han Qin said: "Director Wei, I've come to see you!"

  As soon as Han Qin spoke, Wei Jianmin almost had a myocardial infarction! Last time Han Qin brought up the counterfeit "Moutai White Gold Wine" and looked at him once, it made Wei Jianmin unable to eat or sleep for nearly a month! He dreamed that the discipline inspection committee's people came to talk to him, and whenever he saw someone wearing a dark suit, he suspected whether it was the anti-corruption bureau coming.

  When he saw Han Qin, Wei Jianmin put on a strong spirit and smiled all over his face: "Xiao Han is here, welcome, welcome!" Wei's attitude made Secretary Liu Jing's eyes widen in surprise! When subordinates reported to Wei Jianmin, Wei Jianmin was always very official and serious. This Han Qin had the ability to make Wei Jianmin show respect as if he were seeing a superior leader!

  Han Qin sat down opposite Wei Jianmin with a smile, and Wei Jianmin took out a box of soft Chinese cigarettes, handed one to Han Qin, and said with a trembling heart: "Little Han, how did you come here!" With the handle in someone's hand, it's hard to get up! After Han Qin left last time, Wei Jianmin returned the money to his fellow countryman the next day, leaving the fellow countryman bewildered and wondering where he had offended him.

  Wei Jianmin was well aware that the 100,000 yuan was a bombshell. When Han Qin wanted it to explode, it would explode! Although this old cadre director was just a figurehead, he was still at the deputy department level. Even if he didn't end up in prison eating boxed meals, without this official hat, he would lose everything!

  Wei Jianmin looked a bit guilty, Han Qin secretly smiled in his heart. "That little thing, I'm too lazy to care about it!" This guy must think he's here to extort money, so he laughed and said: "Director Wei, I came to the personnel department to ask about the public election of township party committee secretaries, and took the opportunity to visit Director Wei, nothing else!"

  After hearing Han Qin say this, Wei Jianmin's hanging heart finally put down, it seems that this young man is not a geographical ruthless person, dead entanglement!

  Wei Jianmin laughed and said: "Little Han, you just mentioned that the public is pushing for the township party secretary, are you also thinking of signing up?"

  Han Qin smiled and said, "It's just an idea, but the file requires that the deputy director of the office must have been in office for more than a year. I just asked Director Lü, whether my time as acting director counts or not. Director Lü is also unsure, saying he will consult with the municipal party committee organization department and give me a reply!"

  When Wei Jianmin heard Han Qin say this, his eyes lit up. This guy is going to leave the old dry goods system, which is a good thing! The farther he goes, the better! It's best if he can run all the way to Mars!

  Wei Jianmin patted him on the back and said, "Good! You have vision! Although a township party committee secretary is also a department-level cadre, they can manage money and people. Under them, there are dozens of deputy secretaries, deputy town mayors, and various committee members, all of whom are deputy department-level cadres! Unlike our old unit, which is not part of the system, nobody even knows we exist!"

  Jianqin listened very attentively, and Wei Jianmin continued: "Trees die when transplanted, but people come alive! Let alone you young folks, even this old man wants to make a change!"

  Wei Jianmin thought for a moment and said, "This shouldn't be a big deal. The director of the office at the Old Cadre University is a real job, with management rights in the old cadre bureau. During the agency period, work was done as usual, and training was received. Shouldn't this count as tenure?"

  Wei Jianmin picked up the internal phone and said in a serious tone: "Little Lü, come to my office for a moment!"

  In less than two minutes, Lü Lin rushed in! As soon as he saw Han Qin sitting inside, Lü Lin was taken aback and knew that Wei Jianmin had asked him to come over, it must be related to Han Qin!

  Lü Linchong nodded and smiled: "Director, are there any work arrangements?"

  Wei Jianmin's face was stern, and he deliberately kept Lv Lin waiting for a minute before asking in a nonchalant tone: "Little Lv, what does the organization department stipulate regarding treatment during the period of acting as a cadre?"

  When Wei Jianmin asked this, Lü Lin understood that Han Qin must have felt incompetent and came to complain to Wei Jianmin! Looking at Wei Jianmin's expression, he was very dissatisfied with himself!

  Lü Lin said cautiously: "Director, this issue is not clearly stipulated in the relevant documents. In general practice, during the agency period, political and economic treatment can be equivalent to formal appointment!" In front of Wei Jianmin, Lü Lin did not dare to speak officialese again, so he had to tell the truth!

  Wei Jianmin looked at Lü Lin with great dissatisfaction, I was eager to let this guy go far away, but you changed your mind and kept him! After a pause, Wei Jianmin said: "Isn't it over now? Comrade Han Qin has been acting as the director of the old cadres university office for about a year, from the beginning to now. Is this equivalent to Zheng Zhong's one-year term?"

  Wei Jianmin has made up his mind, so Lv Lin naturally can't say anything more. It's just a qualification for registration, and whether it can pass the inspection of the organization department is the real skill!

  "Alright, I understand! I'll go deliver the registration form to Director Han right away!" Han Qin also smiled and said: "No need for Director Lü to trouble himself, I'll just go with Director Lü to get it instead!"

  Shaking hands with Wei Jianmin, Han Qin followed Lv Lin back to the personnel department. Lv Lin had always been puzzled about what kind of relationship Han Qin and Wei Jianmin were in that could make him so obedient!

  After getting off work, Han Qin went directly to the hospital because he was going to send Li Xiaolu. As a temporary boyfriend, Han Qin hadn't visited Mayor Yan in five days! Han Qin walked into the ward but didn't find Yan Mi, only Mayor Yan lying on the bed resting.

  After all, it's already at the late stage of cancer. Although there are imported drugs for maintenance treatment, there is no turning back! Not seeing him for five days, Mayor Yan looks much more haggard, and his mental state is getting worse day by day!

  Seeing Han Qin come in, the old man forced a smile and said: "Little Han, you're back, was the trip smooth?" Han Qin sat down beside Mayor Yan's bed, held the old man's hand, and smiled: "The trip was very smooth! Now with the high-speed rail, it's comfortable to sit and also saves more than half of the time, much better than going out before!"

  The old man nodded and said, "I've also read a lot of reports in the newspaper. They say this high-speed train is good, but it's just too expensive for migrant workers to afford! When can they lower the price? That would be true success!"

  Han Qin nodded, indeed, on this road, those who take the high-speed train are not on a business trip, but rather traveling or working abroad, it's very rare for migrant workers to take this comfortable and expensive train! It's not easy to make money, migrant workers would rather suffer and endure hardship than spend money on this comfortable and expensive train! The old man is still thinking about this issue in this situation, which is also admirable!

  Mayor Yan didn't seem to be in a good mood, so Han Qin thought of something that might interest him. He remembered the public recruitment for the township party committee secretary today. Mayor Yan had stepped down from his position as executive vice mayor, so he should have some interest in official affairs!

  Han Qin brought over a tangerine, peeling it as he spoke: "The municipal party committee's organization department issued a document, planning to publicly nominate and elect some township party secretaries. I also want to go down there for some tempering, so I signed up. What do you think, old man?"

  Mayor Yan listened to Han Qin's words and suddenly gained spirit. He looked at Han Qin quietly, nodded and said: "Good! Young people should have such ambitions! Although the office director of the old-age university is very leisurely, after all, the vision is narrow, it's hard to achieve results! The party secretary of the town may look low in rank, but it can temper people! In our country, as long as you can do a good job as the head of the town and county level, you can be competent for any position later on!"

  Han Qin smiled humbly: "This public recruitment, in Dongfang City is the first time, the competition must be very fierce, especially those grassroots cadres, practical experience is more abundant, very competitive! This time I signed up, maybe it's just to accompany the prince to read books!"

  Mayor Yan pointed to his own head and said, "Experience is important, but the key is here! We need new ideas, new thinking, and dare to think and act! The municipal party committee's pilot project of public promotion and election, I think the starting point is to bring out a batch of capable and courageous new people, and let rural work reach a new level!"

  The old leader is indeed the old leader, not losing out every day watching news broadcasts and reference messages, understanding the central spirit is indeed in place! Mayor Yan didn't see this document from the municipal party committee, but after Han Qin briefly mentioned it, the old man grasped the essence of it!

  Mayor Yan squeezed Han Qin's hand and encouraged: "Xiao Han, don't have pressure, strive to fight for it! Uncle is very optimistic about you! Believe you can succeed!"

  Han Qin smiled and said: "Thank you, Uncle, I'll try my best to strive for it!"

  Mayor Yan held Qin Han's hand, looked at him quietly, his eyes filled with satisfaction and nostalgia, and said softly: "Little Han, Uncle Yan has no achievements in this life, but he also has some experience! Being able to serve as the party secretary of a township can be said to have truly entered the officialdom! Uncle Yan gives you three suggestions, maybe they will be useful to you!"

  Jian Qin nodded humbly, and Mayor Yan said slowly: "The most important thing to remember is that when you're in office, you have to get things done! As long as you work hard and do practical things, the people will see it, and your superiors will see it too! In the military, what's needed are brave generals who can charge into battle, and in officialdom, what's needed are people who can get things done! Now there are many people who don't believe this, always thinking of taking shortcuts, but this is the foundation for establishing oneself!"

  "Secondly, remember not to stretch out your hand! Although the treatment we receive from the country now may not be great wealth, it is enough for a comfortable life. Many people say good things with their mouths, but they always have a mind of taking advantage, and once something happens, they will lose their reputation and bring disaster to their wives and children. This is a great taboo!"

  Han Qin was deeply moved, thinking of his encounter with Wei Jianmin. A deputy director at the provincial level, he looked like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw himself, where is the dignity! The east window incident will also happen sooner or later!

  Mayor Yan took a slice of tangerine handed over by Han Qin, moistened his throat and said: "This third one is that the friendship between gentlemen is as thin as water! Among colleagues, among superiors, if you want to have long-term cooperation, it can't be maintained by material things! It relies on sharing the same ideals and values! This may sound mysterious to you now, but you will understand it slowly!"

  Han Qin said gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle, I will remember!"

  Mayor Yan grasped Han Qin's hand, smiled contentedly and said in a low voice: "Little Han, you're a clever kid. As long as you remember these three points, I can't guarantee how high an official you'll become, but I can guarantee that you won't make mistakes in the officialdom. You and Xiao Min will be able to live with dignity! And I'll be at ease..."

  Han Qin felt a warmth in his eyes, this was indeed the old man's heartfelt words!

  Two people were talking, and Yan Min walked in from outside! Yan Min saw Han Qin and Dad chatting happily, but a pair of beautiful eyes were filled with anxiety and unease!
