Fang Zhicheng was reviewing documents in the office. When he heard the call from Qin's mother, he was slightly startled, but he quickly reacted and asked with a smile, "Auntie, what can I do for you?"
Mother Qin asked straight to the point: "Zhicheng, Auntie wants to ask you to help me with something. If you can't do it, forget it."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, “Auntie, you tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do my best.”
Mother Qin told Fang Zhicheng about Qin Lang's situation and sighed, "I know that you are still young and probably don't have that much power. It's a bit difficult to arrange for Qin Lang to work in the government, but Auntie has no choice. Qin Lang is the only bloodline of the Qin family. If he goes to another province, wouldn't I have raised this son in vain?"
Fang Zhicheng pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Auntie, how about this, I'll ask about the situation for you first, and then I'll call you later, okay?"
Mother Qin was desperate now and was trying every possible means to find a solution. She thanked him and said, "Okay, I'll let you worry about it."
After hanging up the phone, Qin's mother saw Qin's father sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, and she put on a face and said unhappily: "I asked you to call Yu Ming, but you refused, as if this son is only mine. You are too thin-skinned, so you can only get the position of vice principal before retirement."
Father Qin slapped the newspaper on the coffee table and said impatiently: "In my opinion, Qin Lang is not suitable to be a civil servant. Civil servants need to be flexible and adaptable. You don't know the character of our boy. He is too naive. He is stubborn in everything he does. He takes things for granted and doesn't know how to adapt. If he enters this industry, he will have no future at all."
Mother Qin glared at Father Qin, shook her hands, and said, "Civil servants are stable. Although the salary is not much, the gray income is good. It is nothing like you teachers who get a fixed salary. I think Xiaolang's choice is right. Our family must have an official to fill the door."
Qin's father was a proud man. He glared at Qin's mother and thought about his wife's temper. If they really quarreled, he would be the one to suffer in the end. So he held back his anger, folded the newspaper, and stormed out.
Mother Qin turned around and came to the door of Qin Lang's room, knocking gently. There was no response from inside, so she pushed the door open and saw Qin Lang turning his back to her, preparing to sleep. She pulled the quilt and sighed, "My dear son, don't be discouraged. I have found someone for you. If you insist on joining the government, then I will sell everything I have to find someone to let you in."
Qin Lang turned around and said unhappily: "Mom, I don't want to find someone, I want to get in by my own ability."
Mother Qin shook her head and said, "It's not easy to get into the government. How many people get in based on their ability? As for you, don't be anxious. Wait for some news. If it really doesn't work, then you can go to another province."
Qin Lang climbed up and sat up straight. His face suddenly changed and he said with a smile, "By the way, Mom, who did you ask for help?"
Mother Qin smiled bitterly and said, "I'm still looking for it."
Qin Lang said speechlessly: "It turns out that there is still no trace of it."
Mother Qin said quickly: "I asked your sister and Xiao Fang for help."
"Xiao Fang? Fang Zhicheng?" Qin Lang showed an even more speechless expression on his face. "Mom, Fang Zhicheng has probably been working in the government for less than three years. He hasn't even had a chance to get a job yet, so how can he help me find someone? I regret it now. If I had known earlier, I would not have applied for Dongtai when choosing a job. Although it is a county town, the competitors are no less than those in the urban area. If he can help me get a job in the Dongtai government, I will really look at him with new eyes."
Mother Qin's face showed a gloomy look, and she consoled him: "Don't worry, I will ask your father to go find his classmates tomorrow. One of his students is now a leader in the city, and it seems that he works in the Organization Department. You can give him a gift when the time comes."
Qin Lang rolled his eyes and sighed, "You don't know my dad's temper. He is very proud. If you ask him to do something like this, he will definitely not be willing to do it."
Mother Qin said seriously: "If your father doesn't want to, I will put a knife to his neck and force him to go."
Qin Lang smiled and said, "My dad has been afraid of you all his life. Mom, when I join the government, I will honor you."
Mother Qin said: "This is my good son."
After Fang Zhicheng finished the call with Qin's mother, he thought about how to deal with Qin Lang's work problem. If it were seven or eight years ago, the local government would still have a certain amount of room for maneuver when selecting talents, but in recent years, this opening has shrunk very narrowly, and it is even more difficult to enter the system than to take the college entrance examination.
If it was someone else who asked, Fang Zhicheng would definitely not agree. This time, it was Qin Yuming's younger brother, and he had no choice but to do it. The unified civil servant written examination in the province had ended, and it was too difficult to make a fuss about it. However, this was not the only way to get into government work. He remembered a plan proposed by the Organization Department before, that the Dongtai County Government planned to launch the "Talent Introduction Project of Hundreds, Thousands, and Tens of Thousands" in order to solve the "talent shortage".
Chapter 0419: Getting the Best of Both Worlds
There are many people in Dongtai County who are paid by the government. According to a preliminary estimate last year, there are about 40,000 people, of which 3,500 are in county-level institutions. Such a large population base has put great financial pressure on the county. What is more frightening is that due to the constraints of the establishment, some young and inexperienced talents have been squeezed out of government agencies. With the good economic situation in Dongtai in the past two years, many people are trying their best to get in. Therefore, it is not easy for talented people to get a government establishment in Dongtai. Even if they pass the written test, it is not easy to show their strengths in the interview.
There are many inside stories about civil servant recruitment. Some time ago, a news story about a "cross-province pursuit farce" appeared. The Public Security Bureau of a city in Xiazhou Autonomous Region pursued a student named Tao across provinces. The cause was that this student named Tao repeatedly reported that his classmates cheated in the process of taking the civil servant examination. During school, Tao found that his roommate Feng was idle, basically did not study, and especially loved playing computer games. After graduation, Feng wrote down his employment unit as the Laicheng Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League in advance. As a result, Feng, who had never studied in school for four years, successfully passed the examination for a position in the Academy of Sciences.
Later, the student surnamed Tao found the information of Feng's father on the Internet. Both of his parents were cadres at the department level. She wrote a report, believing that Feng's civil service examination was full of insider information because of his family. When the report letter disappeared, Feng published the materials on the Internet. A few days later, several uninvited guests came to Laicheng and took Feng away from other provinces... The incident caused serious consequences, making the public believe that the government civil service examination was full of hidden rules and conspiracies.
In fact, the civil service examination can be said to be the most scientific and fair examination system in the world today. Because of this series of negative events, the country has increased supervision in the process of selecting talents in recent years, which has also made the selection of civil servants much more transparent.
Fang Zhicheng has a good relationship with Qiu Hengde. Although the written test of the provincial civil service examination has ended, as long as he is willing, he can still help Qin Lang find a replacement seat. There are a lot of operational means for the civil service examination. The simplest way is to use the political review method to screen out candidates after the written test. This will free up some positions for Qin Lang to pass the written test smoothly. Entering the re-examination, there is more room for operation. The interviewers are all major leaders of the government. As long as they are greeted in advance, they will generally not be embarrassed. In this way, you can smoothly enter the written test and re-examination. As long as you have a staffing, and then carry out a series of operations and adjustments, Qin Lang will be able to work in the Dongtai government.
However, this behavior still violates Fang Zhicheng's inner morality, and there are other legitimate ways for Qin Lang to enter the Dongtai government.
Fang Zhicheng called Xing Jike. Although Xing Jike was not very capable, he still needed to communicate with Xing Jike in advance on certain issues so that they could reach a consensus at the Standing Committee meeting.
Xing Jike now has almost blind trust in Fang Zhicheng, because since he and Fang Zhicheng have been on the same side, there has been a big change. Now in government meetings, he can feel that other people no longer look at him with contempt, and at the same time, he will also put forward some of his own opinions, and Fang Zhicheng will help him achieve them. Xing Jike no longer has the feeling of fighting alone, and is full of dependence on Fang Zhicheng.
"County Magistrate Xing, I want to discuss with you the 'Talent Attraction Project'." Fang Zhicheng said in a serious and solemn voice, "Now that the provincial exam has just ended, Dongtai wants to attract talent at this critical moment. We must quickly take advantage of this momentum and recruit from all over the country to attract outstanding talents to invest and develop in Dongtai."
Xing Jike was a little surprised by Fang Zhicheng's request. He smiled bitterly and said, "Zhicheng, I understand what you mean, but this is Duan Xuan's plan to break Sun Weiming's organizational blockade. Are we trying to fish in troubled waters?"
Fang Zhicheng sighed secretly. Xing Jike was sometimes numb to political struggles, and sometimes too sensitive. He just couldn't grasp the right measure. Sometimes you have to pay attention to political interests, and sometimes you have to consider the overall situation. Although the "talent introduction" plan was a card played by Duan Xuan against Sun Weiming after entering Yinzhou, it was not a bad thing that was not good for Dongtai.
Whether now or in the future, Dongtai needs to introduce such a means to attract talents so that the government can continue to move forward. Society is based on people, so grasping the key point of "people" is the key to the long-term development of the government and its eternal youthful vitality.
Fang Zhicheng explained slowly: "County Magistrate Xing, putting aside the confrontation between Sun and Duan, the talent introduction plan is a good model that can help us find more compound talents. Dongtai is developing rapidly now. Although there are many public officials, how many of them can really do things? The problem of the system is related to national policy. We cannot change it. We can only use some new means to optimize the personnel structure of Dongtai and try to let those who do nothing to stand aside and let professionals do professional things."
Xing Jike smiled awkwardly and said, "That's true, but I'm afraid that our efforts will be in vain. Once the policy is finalized, it will benefit Sun Weiming and Duan Xuan. After all, they are in charge of the party and government, and they have all the power over personnel. No matter how good Dongtai's talent policy is, it has nothing to do with me as the county magistrate."
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that Xing Jike was showing his narrow-minded side again, and smiled helplessly: "County Magistrate Xing, you have to look at everything from a long-term perspective. If the talent policy is well implemented, it has nothing to do with you, but it will enrich the power of government agencies, enable the municipal government to speed up the efficiency of executing various affairs, and increase the ability of government agencies to handle affairs. This is a good thing for the government!"
Xing Jike said reluctantly: "Since it is your suggestion, I naturally agree with it. Don't worry, I will express my support for the talent introduction policy at the Standing Committee meeting."
Fang Zhicheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xing Jike finally compromise. Xing Jike sometimes had a bad temper, and if he didn't explain things clearly, he might make things complicated.
Afterwards, Fang Zhicheng called Duan Xuan. Duan Xuan was delighted to see Fang Zhicheng was willing to support him, but he remained calm, "Comrade Zhicheng, if you are willing to help me, we can study the specific introduction process together when we have time."
Fang Zhicheng said, "My request is simple. That is, the examiners for the re-examination must be the main leaders of the county-level institutions..."
