Director Song was born in a civilian family, studied diligently and achieved excellent results. In 1947, he was admitted to Northeastern University with a good score of third place. Later, he joined the "Southbound Work Group" before graduating from university and was later assigned to work in Baoding Grain Bureau.
At work, he also maintained his enthusiasm for learning. Work hard and make progress. I also feel that I have a strong ability to work and have completed many tasks well. However, his official career was bumpy. It took him ten years of hard work before he became a department-level cadre.
He still didn't understand why. Later, it was because he went to pay New Year's greetings to the retired director for five consecutive years, and people showed their gratitude that they pierced this layer of paper for him.
"You, if you want to move up, you have to pay less attention to things, because the more you do, the more mistakes you make, and you will be jealous of others if you do well. The key is to pay more attention to the leader, at least let the superiors know that there is You are a human being. Otherwise, who will remember you when hiring people? Do you understand? It doesn’t matter whether you are capable or not, what matters is your background and your attitude towards leadership..."
Once he had an epiphany, Director Song "corrected his evil ways and returned to the right path". He learned to "do things wrong" and "correct his attitude".
What can be done in the past one or two days, if we don’t hurry up. He had to explain the difficulties politely, leave more room for it, and then set a period of five or six days, during which he would take leisure time at work, be busy after get off work, and finally hand in work one day in advance.
In this way, I appear to be calm and steady, not complaining and not arrogant, which is quite hard in the eyes of my colleagues. It’s not like catching a train in the past and being feared by others. If you exceed the deadline, you will be said to be too ambitious and too ambitious.
No matter how displeased his leader was, he would act submissive and try his best to show respect at a close distance. Just like you would treat a teacher when you were studying.
He will never really lower his personality to express flattery. Just reflect the superior position of the leader at all times. Leaders are not fools. They like the smell of flattery rather than the flattery itself.
It was also a "god-given opportunity." After Director Song's "little insights," and with the arrival of the "movement," everything really changed.
When those senior cadres fell one after another, and mid-level cadres also took turns to fail, official positions often became vacant. But the ones who really got the big deal were not those who got rid of the old leader, but him, a good old man in everyone's eyes.
This is because during that special period, "revolutionary groups" were constantly attacking each other. If you are in power today, you may be out of power tomorrow. Changing the establishment is like a revolving door.
As for him, now that he understands it, he is happy to be the "hands-off man" when he comes on stage. If he doesn't fight for power, he won't be tabooed by others. If you don't work hard, everyone will feel at ease, and there will be no faults to blame.
Coupled with his gentle temperament, anyone on stage is willing to take him with him. Even if it is just a decoration, at least I am not afraid that he will bite me back tomorrow.
Even those who were unlucky enough to step down would not hate him or be jealous of him. If compared with others, I would prefer him to go up. He doesn't punish people, he often provides help in times of need and is considerate to everyone.
In this way, drifting with the tide, his official career was prosperous, rising higher and higher without showing mountains or rivers.
Although he is usually just a foil, he can't stand it because he has many friends and few enemies. So in the end, he climbed thousands of miles and climbed to a high position that even he himself had never thought of.
Perhaps this is called each having his own spirit. It's really "if you fight, you don't fight, if you don't fight, you fight"...
In this way, Hong Yanwu not only gave Director Song a sudden enlightenment, but also felt like he had walked out of a dead end. Even combined with his own career experience, it gave Director Song more insights into life.
So Director Song, in addition to being more appreciative and grateful to Hong Yanwu, finally made up his mind to let go and let his son go into society alone to experience the ups and downs.
After all, no matter how good the parents are, they can’t control their children for the rest of their lives, right? If Song Guofu can really use the energy of broken love to grow up and become an adult. That is actually a good thing that can only be wished for.
But as the saying goes, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are afraid of entering the wrong profession. There is a huge difference between a good unit and a bad unit. So in the end, there is still an important issue, which is to choose a promising job position for Song Guofu.
Song Guofu himself proposed to go to the foreign trade port. Director Song's energy was limited to municipal units, and he had the greatest control over two areas.
One of them asked Song Guofu to take an office at the Foreign Affairs Office of the municipal government, and the other asked him to go to the Capital Diplomatic Service Company, but the specific duties had to be assigned by others.
Director Song consulted Hong Yanwu for his opinion on this matter. Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu was not optimistic about the two positions he mentioned.
Hong Yanwu believes that when he goes to the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the government, he has to process documents every day, which requires high copywriting skills. He also attaches great importance to academic qualifications, and the work is boring.
Song Guofu was afraid that he would suffer in vain and not be left behind. It cannot use its own "advantages" at all.
As for the Beijing Diplomatic Service Company, it is a unit that needs to deal directly with foreigners.
For the same reason, Song Guofu didn't know a foreign language. It would be too late to learn and sell it now. I'm afraid he would be ridiculed if he went there. Don't let the courage you finally mustered up get knocked down and you lose your confidence.
What's more, foreign trade is very hot right now, and everyone with some connections wants to get involved. Director Song may have to ask for a huge favor.
If you think about it carefully, except for those engaged in foreign trade and the customs with law enforcement powers, other units have no real benefits. If you're just trying to make it sound nice, then why bother?
Having said this, Hong Yanwu thought for a while and drew two paths for Director Song. One is to go to the banking system, and the other is to the industrial and commercial system. He thought this was the best place for Song Guofu.
His point of view is that the first priority of "reform and opening up" is to revitalize the economy. These two places are destined to be closely related to the economic field in the future. Isn't this the future of the industry?
Banks are the "gods of wealth" in all walks of life. To develop the economy, money is inevitable. So no matter which industry people meet, they must respect people from the bank. Natural benefits are inevitable.
Just working in a bank has its disadvantages, as it is easy to make financial mistakes. Especially in credit business, big mistakes can easily occur. It is true that the greater the power, the greater the risk of imprisonment.
It can be said that Song Guofu is not a person who dares to do nonsense, but how can he evade the hints and irregular demands of his superiors? Once something goes wrong, he will not be the scapegoat, but he will also be implicated.
So in horizontal comparison, the industrial and commercial system is more secure and becomes the best choice.
According to Hong Yanwu, going to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau has at least the following advantages.
First, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau has law enforcement and approval powers. Having power means benefits. Needless to say, this goes without saying.
Second, the reform is just about to start now. As the reform deepens and business policies are liberalized, the business and power of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau will inevitably continue to increase. It is inevitable that the establishment will continue to expand, so there will be more positions. Then it is easier to get promoted than elsewhere.
Third, with the increase of various business entities, in addition to personnel, business management is also facing institutional changes. In this case, the past system is of little use as it is being phased out, so people are allowed to make mistakes. Even if something happens, we won't be held responsible. After all, we want to explore.
The main purpose of what Hong Yanwu said was actually to get Song Guofu to go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. While it can ensure that Song Guofu has a bright future, it will also be of great convenience to him in the future.
But he can't directly say that he knows what history will be like, so coming up with these reasons really takes a lot of brain cells from him.
But even so, Director Song was hesitant.
Because after the "public-private partnership", the Industrial and Commercial Bureau was truly a cold government office. As far as he knew, during the "Movement", the "Industrial and Commercial Bureau" was placed under the "Finance Bureau", and only three people remained. It has simply reached the point where it exists in name only.
Although since the reform, this department has ushered in unprecedented development. But who can guarantee that the policy will not change? I want my son to go to such a unit, just in case...
In this way, Director Song expressed his concerns. And he also made a new suggestion that he thought was safe, saying, would it be okay to go to the tax bureau?
He feels that if Hong Yanwu's statement is followed, if the economy is revitalized, the tax bureau, which is also an authority, will also have great development.
And because taxation is an indispensable department of the country, despite being ignored during the "movement" period, it still maintained its establishment and scale. From all aspects, it should be better than the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu thought about it and then rejected it.
He believes that the work scope of the tax bureau has been targeting state-owned enterprises for a long time, which is tantamount to official versus official and does not reflect the superiority of power.
And this kind of department, like the Grain Bureau, is a key department that maintains the operation of the country. It has heavy responsibilities and is often supervised by its superiors. The pace of change must be steady. And if you make a slight mistake at work, the consequences will be serious.
At the same time, precisely because the scale was not reduced during the "movement" period, there are many old leaders and old comrades, and interpersonal relationships are complicated. Even if the establishment is expanded, the opportunities will be much less than that of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
In the end, Hong Yanwu smiled and simply guaranteed the vote, saying that the policy change Director Song was worried about was simply impossible.
As for the reason, in addition to reform being a national policy and the will of the people personally determined by the "great man", there is also the practical problem of educated youth before us. Even if it is to place these people in jobs, the openings to various economies will be opened wider and wider. Otherwise, what else can be done?
He then said enlighteningly that "burning a cold stove" is easier and much more cost-effective than "burning a hot stove". The Industrial and Commercial Bureau is a cold stove now, but once it becomes hotter in the future, it will certainly get more things.
On the contrary, it is the "Grain Bureau" that is a hot topic. He believes that with the liberalization of agricultural policies in the future, the problem of food shortages will be alleviated. It will become a "cold spot" that is important to national stability and whose influence on the people continues to decline. Director Song must also be prepared for this.
Besides, it doesn't matter even if he is wrong. Anyway, Song Guofu is here for experience, and with Director Song as his father, there has been no improvement in three years, so it is not too late to transfer him. But for now, this type of unit is easier for Song Guofu to adapt to and get started with.
These words of Hong Yanwu are meaningful. Director Song will know as soon as he hears whether he is thinking about Song Guofu personally. The benefits are in front of him, not to mention the future of the Grain Bureau, he even gave Director Song a heads up.
In this case, Director Song had nothing to hesitate. He called Song Guofu in and asked his son what he meant. Unexpectedly, Song Guofu nodded immediately when he heard that it was Hong Yanwu's idea.
Director Song was really happy now, shaking his head and talking to Hong Yanwu. "It seems that you should be my official. You are more suitable to be a leader than me."
On the final day, Director Song personally sent Hong Yanwuli out. In parting, he not only kindly asked him to come home as a guest often, but also made a solemn promise.
"Xiao Wu. Since you are satisfied with your current job and are unwilling to change places, I won't force you. But if you have new ideas that day, don't be embarrassed. You can come to me again. . Regarding your constant concern and help to Guofu, I will not treat you as an outsider. No matter what, I will always try my best to find a solution for you."
It should be said that Director Song's move was completely unprecedented. Such words are also unsteady for his status, and he is afraid that he is emotionally excited.
Not only Mrs. Song and Song Pingping were stunned. Song Guofu grinned. Hong Yanwu also heard the weight of these words.
He could only thank him respectfully, say a few more polite words, and then left the Song family with this purely unexpected gain.
Not long after that, Song Guofu reported to work at the Capital Industrial and Commercial Bureau in early March.
At this time, the city's industrial and commercial system had not yet established a branch. Just as Hong Yanwu expected, there were more than a hundred people from top to bottom, with almost no old comrades.
These people have no idea how lucky they are. As the veterans of the new starting point of the Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau, they have invisibly squeezed into the expressway that others can only dream of.
Of course, Song Guofu was even more fortunate, even though he had to abide by the rules and take over the important task of turning on the water for the department every day after reporting. But someone above him took care of him, and the transfer was for equal position. According to his job title in the Grain Bureau, he was directly Chief Section Member. Moreover, before coming to report, he quickly joined the party.
It can also be seen from this that Director Song really cares about his son and has paved every possible road for him.
