"My sophomore year is almost going to be my junior year. My daughter is usually very well behaved and I haven't had to worry about her much. This is my biggest support for working with peace of mind..." Zhang Songnian knew that asking about your family at this time was actually a way for your superior to build closer ties with you, which could make the conversation between you more harmonious and friendly.
"Then I'll bring people to you for inspection. It seems that District Chief Zhang is also very strong at home. I need to ask you for instructions on my daughter's affairs." Li Jingping said.
Zhang Songnian waved his hand and said "Hi!", and hurriedly explained, "Mayor Li misunderstood. It hasn't come to that stage yet. They are just classmates. They get to know each other on their own. How it develops in the end is their own business. My principle is not to interfere. As for my opinion, I have a good opinion of Cheng Ran. He is very outstanding, handsome, mature and stable. Many of his ideas are very creative. He has a broad vision and good character. Of course, I personally have no opinion... But his family situation is still a little complicated. Sometimes I am afraid that my daughter will be wronged... Of course, young people are young people. If they really want to be together, what else can we do as parents except to bless them?"
Li Jingping asked, "At this age, isn't this a little early?"
Zhang Songnian smiled, "Then when does Li Shi think it's not too early?"
Li Jingping pondered, "At least you should graduate from university and have a stable job before you can talk about this kind of thing..."
"Mayor Li, I heard that your daughter is studying abroad?" Zhang Songnian asked.
"Ah... yes..."
"Mayor Li, you are old-fashioned and worried that your daughter will suffer when she is alone abroad. I can understand this mentality, but sometimes we still have to look at it dialectically. I am more open-minded. It may be okay to stop young people from falling in love before they reach adulthood, but after they become adults, they are responsible for themselves and you can't stop them. I think the only thing you can do is to teach your children to treat feelings correctly. Of course, girls should know how to protect themselves and know where the bottom line is. Her mother will teach her about these things. As a father, I will of course provide her with backing and theoretical support. Sometimes, if you put on an unkind attitude, the child will naturally alienate you, and you will not be able to grasp her situation... But if you act like you understand her, then she actually regards you as a mentor, and some things can be discussed, and you can grasp her specific situation, at least these things about her mentality. So, Mayor Li, this is a brilliant strategy! Sometimes you still have to use routines!"
Li Jingping, "…"
"Of course, this is just between you and Mayor Li. I told my wife a long time ago that although I am a district chief with a glamorous job, I carry all kinds of pressure on my shoulders, and there are always slanders from behind. Sometimes I just feel that if I quit my job and go out to work, I will definitely be able to make a career. When I was chatting with Cheng Ran before, I joked with him that if the South District model reform offends someone and I am fired, and he gave me some suggestions, then he has to take responsibility. When I become a general manager or something, they must give me a lot of orders from Fulong! Ha, if he really wants to take advantage of my daughter, then this kid must first pass the first hurdle of being filial to me..."
Li Jingping coughed dryly, "Not yet..."
Zhang Songnian said calmly, "Yes, you see, sometimes when I talk to Li Shiyi, I really talk too much, please don't be offended. I am not taking this opportunity to complain..."
Li Jingping certainly understood that Zhang Songnian's seemingly careless words just now were actually a complaint and a confession of his feelings. At the same time, he also meant to get the upper level's opinion from him. This person was rough on the outside but delicate on the inside. If anyone looked at him as a rough man, they would probably greatly underestimate Zhang Songnian. He dared to reform the South District because of Cheng Ran's words. His work report and speech were all impressive. If he was not careful, Nanzhou City would bring them in and tie them up with him. Moreover, the last words of apology forced him to give an attitude to see clearly what the high-level Nanzhou officials really thought of him. At the same time, he had to win his support.
Just support... Now I have the urge to pour a bucket of cold water on Zhang Songnian. What's going on
But in the end, he said, "Don't feel pressured. Reform is always accompanied by fierce debate. At present, the organization still trusts you very much."
Seeing Zhang Songnian leave excitedly after the conversation, Li Jingping also sighed. In fact, there is indeed some controversy in Nanzhou about Zhang Songnian’s South District model. One side is the mainstream view that the spirit of the "Outline" of the State Council is to use the government's administrative power to intervene strongly, aggregate industries, and form large companies of a leading nature.
However, Zhang Songnian's Southern District model is exactly the opposite. It emphasizes the government's administrative retreat, but it is also in line with what some people in the upper echelons of Nanzhou said: "If current politicians, academia and the public are asked to choose a governance institution that can replace the traditional public administration model, they must choose the market model."
At the same time, it is also conducive to introducing market mechanisms to break the bureaucratic system. The core is to build a platform for the public to participate in government management, the government to appropriately delegate power, and cultivate more third departments to undertake the work transferred by the government, so as to improve many common problems in the system.
Zhang Songnian simply created the South District model and put it in front of the long-standing controversy, so Zhang Songnian became the fuse. The real game is still between these two thoughts and directions.
So after the city-wide district and county work symposium ended, at the Standing Committee meeting that followed, the first member of the Standing Committee expressed his position to handle the "South District Model" with caution, and then everyone else expressed their positions and spoke in turn.
Normally, when it comes to the planning and arrangement of major regional economic development projects, the discussions at the Standing Committee meetings will be heated. However, this time it was not intense because no one would express too much of an opinion on it. There are many reasons for this. It involves the "Outline", and there will always be people who are concerned about their reputation, some who are worried about taking responsibility, or who are still undecided.
Li Jingping ranks fifth among the 12 standing committee members. Some agreed with and some opposed the previous speeches, but overall there is still no final conclusion. Most people have ambiguous views on the South District model, and most people still want Zhang Songnian to continue doing it. After all, Nanzhou still needs a window pilot.
But when Li Jingping spoke, he opened the file book in front of him and spoke in a low but calm voice.
However, it seemed to be very powerful to everyone.
He expressed support for the South District model, saying it should be piloted and promoted across the city to "release the energy of the public sector, improve the level of government management, effectively improve efficiency, and reduce waste of fiscal and scientific research funds."
Such a clear-cut support alone is enough to move many people.
Li Jingping is out.
Next, the four members of the Standing Committee expressed their opinions. Except for one who expressed the need to respond cautiously, the others all went along with Li Jingping's views. Finally, the secretary made a summary and the final decision was made.
Nanzhou City has taken this bold step to trial and promote the "Nan District Model" throughout the city!
