"Yes, yes, we don't talk about work at the wine table, we just reminisce about old friendships. Come, come, old leader, let's toast you" Everyone looked at each other and stood up to toast Duan Zetao in perfect agreement. The atmosphere slowly became warmer again. After all, although Lin Zitong and others were eager to cling to him, they were not the kind of scumbags who blindly flatter their superiors without doing anything practical and only seek to get the upper hand. Otherwise, they would not be able to catch Duan Zetao's attention.
They said they were not going to talk about work, but since everyone here was in the officialdom, they naturally talked about officialdom again. When Duan Zetao asked about the current situation in Jiangnan Province, Xie Jianxing sighed and said, "Zeng Qisheng is a man with great ambitions and little talent. , only know how to use high pressure to establish authority, put on the airs of provincial governor, and scold and punish subordinates at every turn. When Secretary Shi Liang was here before, he said that he should pay attention to working methods, and he restrained himself a little"
"Later Secretary Shi Liang was transferred to the capital, and he was temporarily in charge of the province's work. He became completely arrogant. In just a few months, he eliminated more than thirty division-level cadres and two department-level cadres. In his position, he punished more than a hundred cadres at the division level and above. Even for us, the deputy governor, he often scolded us for the wrong words, so that the cadres below did not dare to do anything, and they did too much. He made many mistakes and scolded him a lot. Fortunately, the central government did not let him be the secretary of the provincial party committee in the end, otherwise Jiangnan Province would be in chaos"
Duan Zetao frowned. According to Xie Jianxing, there is indeed a problem with Zeng Qisheng's working methods. The way to control subordinates is to use both kindness and power. Being blindly harsh on subordinates can easily cause backlash and the effect will be counterproductive. However, he does not fully understand it yet. Xie Jianxing said with a smile: "Comrade Qisheng may be a little harsh, but the starting point should still be good. He also wants to do a good job. I can't train him even if I'm anxious." people¡¡".
"But Governor Qisheng is indeed too strict. I remember one provincial government meeting. Director Xie of the Provincial Department of Agriculture answered a phone call at the meeting. Governor Qisheng was speaking at that time. He caught a glimpse and was immediately taken aback. Lei Lei was so angry that he walked off the stage, snatched Director Xie's cell phone and threw it into the trash can. He also made Director Xie stand for a long time, which made Director Xie very embarrassed. Director Xie was about to retire at the age of 58 this year. He was standing there with a complexion like pig liver. I was really worried that he would suffer a stroke on the spot It was wrong for Director Xie to make a phone call during a meeting, but it was really the right thing for Governor Qisheng to punish him like this. All the cadres present felt that Governor Qisheng had gone too far" Liu Shuangxi worked as the deputy secretary-general of the provincial government and had many contacts with Zeng Qisheng, so he couldn't help but interject, but Zeng Qisheng was his immediate boss, and Liu Shuangxi He speaks much more tactfully than Xie Jianxing.
Duan Zetao was a little surprised. Among his subordinates, Liu Shuangxi had the most easy-going personality. He had never seen him blushing with anyone. When he was in the Provincial Government Policy Research Office, Liu Shuangxi had to accept the hardships. I have never seen him complain. Even Liu Shuangxi said that Zeng Qisheng went too far, which means that Zeng Qisheng was indeed too harsh.
At this time, Wang Siqiang on the side also said angrily: "This is nothing. Once, Governor Zeng went to a county below our Shanyang City for investigation. The secretary of the county party committee in that county was a little negligent in his work. Some people stopped Zeng. The governor's motorcade complained, and Governor Zeng was furious at that time. Without any explanation, he dismissed the county party secretary on the spot. I knew that county party secretary. He had some minor problems, but overall he was doing well. However, the people who stopped the road to complain mentioned the land expropriation. Disputes are common in all parts of the province, and they are not a problem in one county or one place. I just spoke a few words to the county party secretary, but Governor Zeng scolded me again. Now the cadres below have heard that Governor Zeng was scared to death when he wanted to come down for investigation, and he didn¡¯t dare to report any problems"
Wang Siqiang is Duan Zetao's senior brother. He has never been a flatterer, and he can be considered upright and outspoken. If Duan Zetao hadn't brought him up from the Transportation Department, he would still be sitting on the bench now. According to him, Zeng Qisheng's work There is indeed a problem with the method. No one is perfect. Mistakes made by subordinates must be treated differently and opportunities for correction must be given to subordinates. When Shi Liang went to Shannan City for investigation, he also encountered people who stopped the car to complain. If Shi Liang Duan Zetao, who was the mayor of Shannan City at the time, was dismissed from his post without any hesitation. Then I'm afraid there will be no Duan Zetao today.
"The key is that Zeng Qisheng cannot be level-headed, and he treats cadres who are close to him much more laxly. For example, Long Tingfei, the mayor of Xingzhou City, illegally approved land for golf project construction, and the Bureau of Land and Resources sent a working group to it. The report was made, and according to regulations, he would be severely punished, but because Long Tingfei was brought here from the capital by Zeng Qisheng, the result was that he was only given a warning within the party and was given a gentle punishment. This was clearly a sign of Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish" Xie Jianxing had the greatest grievance against Zeng Qisheng. His father, Xie Changlu, had already retired and could no longer provide him with strong support, so he was not spared by Zeng Qisheng. As a member of the Standing Committee DeputyThe director is in charge of all unpopular departments.
Several other people also listed the "deeds" of Zeng Qisheng when he was doing research below. For a moment, it seemed that today's gathering had turned into a denunciation meeting for Zeng Qisheng. It seemed that Zeng Qisheng had indeed made people angry in Jiangnan Province and was very unpopular. .
Duan Zetao should not pay attention to it. If it is true as everyone said, Zeng Qisheng's working style will definitely affect the development of Jiangnan Province. This is no longer a matter of unity within the leadership team. He, the leader of the provincial party committee, must find a way to correct it. But Zeng Qisheng is so strong. If he criticizes him directly, he will definitely have a fierce conflict with him. This is what Duan Zetao does not want to see. This will only make others laugh and make the central government doubt his ability to control the situation. How can he do it? Correcting Zeng Qisheng's mistakes without having a direct conflict with him will test Duan Zetao's political wisdom.
Duan Zetao drank a lot of wine that night, and his face was a little red. When he walked out of the hotel, the cool breeze blew in his face, which made him feel very comfortable. He said goodbye to Xie Jianxing and others and got into the car. Duan Zetao looked at the dimly lit car outside the car window. Xingzhou City, he also had a lot of emotions. This was the place where he had struggled. Suddenly he had an impulse in his heart to walk around and take a good look at the city he had built with his own hands, so he asked Hu Tielong to stop the car and send Hu Tielong and Fang Dongmin went back first and took a walk alone.
