Chapter 9: Expelling the Provincial Committee Organization

The voice of Da Li, a colleague from the Second Section of the Secretary's Office, came from outside the door

Little Fan

Secretary Qiu, the line between genius and madness is but a step apart. Had Hitler not initiated World War II and merely focused on the revival of Germany, he would have been considered a genius. Similarly, had Wang Mang not usurped the throne, he too would have been regarded as a genius

Secretary Qiu, I have already articulated my viewpoint, and I will not reiterate it here. Let us focus on the matter at hand. Since this article has already been published in the central party newspaper, it indicates that the trend is set. Moving forward, we can only act in accordance with the prevailing circumstances

Hurry, go to Secretary Qiu's office

In other words, in Qiu Mingshan's subconscious, he has already fixed Fan Hongyu as a "genius" rather than a "madman"

This sentiment must be understood

Fan Hongyu was also unreserved; he slightly bowed to Qiu Mingshan and then walked over to take a seat on a nearby sofa. His gaze naturally swept over the newspaper on the coffee table, which was surprisingly the "Mass Daily," the central party newspaper. Immediately, the bold black title "Always Be Vigilant Against the Rampant Spread of Bourgeois Liberalization" caught his eye

Fan Hongyu's expression became serious as he solemnly said, "Secretary Qiu, Governor Lei..."

However, Secretary Qiu, I believe that the teaching materials and content at the Party School need certain modifications and enhancements. They should keep pace with the times and be suitable for the current political and economic trends. We cannot continue with the kind of rigid, formulaic preaching that resembles the old Party rhetoric, as very few people are willing to listen to that

The outcome of political games, in addition to the application of strategic power, is profoundly linked to an individual's luck. Any oversight at any stage could lead to a drastically different result

Well, come over to m.hetushu.com and have a seat

Alright, please wait a moment while I change my clothes

A hint of surprise flashed in Qiu Mingshan's eyes

Qiu Mingshan once again expressed such sentiments in his heart, yet he may not have realized that his perception of Fan Hongyu was already beginning to change.

Da Li shook his head quietly at the door; this young man is indeed calm, exhibiting quite the demeanor of a great general

Well, then I shall be showing off my skills in front of the experts

Say

Fan Hongyu shook his head and said, "Secretary Qiu, it is not that serious. I still hold the same opinion: liberating our thoughts and strictly preventing the rampant spread of bourgeois liberalization are two aspects of the same issue, not a contradictory relationship of either-or. In the specific work of economic construction, we must liberate our thoughts and boldly experiment. However, in terms of overall ideology and national beliefs, we must have our own firm principles and persistence. What we need to learn from are the advanced market models, management concepts, and business philosophies of developed Western countries, rather than their ideologies and political systems. It is correct to throw out a brick to attract jade, but if we throw out jade to attract bricks, that would be wrong."

This suggestion deeply embodies the "three flavors of officialdom," which is precisely the tactic of seasoned veterans.

Fan Hongyu's expression shifted slightly

Then you go to the Party School to compile teaching materials

Qiu Mingshan smiled faintly and said, "So, what are your thoughts?"

However, it seems that this group does not include Lei Yungang.

Thank you, Secretary Qiu

Qiu Mingshan suddenly said

In Fan Hongyu's view, Lei Yungang's fate has already been determined, and it is not something that this article can "save." For officials at the level of Lei Yungang, even if they wish to change their affiliations, it is quite difficult.

Fan Hongyu did not continue speaking, merely shaking his head gently

Fan Hongyu said with a bitter smile

The reason why Lei Yungang has no chance of making a comeback is unclear to Fan Hongyu. Although he is a reborn individual, in his previous life, Fan Hongyu was merely a grassroots police officer and only heard rumors about the high-level trends. He can grasp some general trends, but when it comes to the specific circumstances of Lei Yungang as an "individual," that remains unknown.

Qiu Mingshan then said, his tone still quite casual, as if he were testing Fan Hongyu. Originally, it was indeed a test; when it came to discussing significant matters with Qiu Mingshan, Fan Hongyu was still not qualified enough at this moment

Qiu Mingshan said calmly: "Isn't this exactly what you desire in your heart? I am giving you this opportunity"

This fellow is always exceedingly proud, no matter the time.

Reality is not quite like that

Qiu Mingshan did not rise, merely nodding slightly

After a moment, Qiu Mingshan suddenly said

This time, it is the madman in front and the genius behind

This is certainly not the answer he wanted to hear

Since this is the result you desire, what do you think will happen next

Qiu Mingshan let out a snort once again

Secretary Qiu, I have a suggestion

This guy, if he is not a madman, then he is a genius

Fan Hongyu no longer held back and nodded directly

Fan Hongyu stood up and respectfully bowed to Qiu Mingshan and *Tu* Shu

Although Fan Hongyu joked with Gao Jie in a lighthearted manner, he was well aware that Gao Jie's concerns were not unfounded. This evening, he had undoubtedly offended Secretary Liang of the Municipal Committee to the fullest extent. Secretary Liang would likely find it intolerable to have such a rebellious individual under his very nose. Moreover, neither Qiu Mingshan nor Fan Weiguo was favored by Liang Guanghua. Fan Weiguo's son had even less of a connection with Secretary Liang.

Secretary Qiu, you flatter me too much; I do not have that qualification

Fan Hongyu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Secretary Qiu, is this for real? Do you really want to hear my opinion?"

Two days later, Fan Hongyu got up early in the morning, completed his morning exercises, leisurely finished his breakfast, returned to his messy dormitory, lay down on his disordered bed, crossed his legs, and comfortably began to read a book

The so-called words are the voice of the heart; this fellow seems to have a very high opinion of himself

Qiu Mingshan let out a soft "hmph" and said, "Anyone can talk about theory"

This fellow, if he does not provide an example, is fine; but once he does, all his examples are of sovereigns and unparalleled heroes.

Hehe, you have quite the ambition

It is not a lack of ability, but rather a lack of qualification

In any case, it is a period of suspension for reflection

Secretary Qiu, does this mean that I am still a cadre?

Qiu Mingshan was instantly filled with a sense of frustration.

Qiu Mingshan found it somewhat amusing, considering he remembered the phrase about humility.

Qiu Mingshan coldly said: "Are you suggesting that I should become a fickle and despicable person?"

Fan Hongyu just smiled

In a moment of daze, he once again experienced that otherworldly sensation

Da Li said breathlessly

Fan Hongyu was taken aback, not expecting Qiu Mingshan to say such a thing

To Fan Hongyu's surprise, this time Qiu Mingshan did not take a seat behind the desk, but instead sat on the wooden sofa in the reception area, smoking a cigarette, with a newspaper placed on the coffee table in front of him

Soon, Fan Hongyu arrived at the door of Qiu Mingshan's office and greeted Cai Yang, who was organizing documents in the outer room. Cai Yang glanced at him, his expression quite complex. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then shook his head and ultimately remained silent, leading Fan Hongyu into the inner office.

However, Brother Fan Er has this foul temper; even though he knows in his heart that it is inappropriate, the words he utters remain rigid and unyielding, regardless of whom he is facing

Secretary Qiu, as the principal of the regional Party School, I have always felt that in recent years, the role of our regional Party School has not been very prominent and has begun to become merely a formality. In fact, the Party School is an important platform for the re-education of cadres, and the significance of this platform cannot be overlooked. As the principal of the Party School, I suggest that you pay attention to this issue. I believe it is necessary to implement a rotation training program for cadres throughout the region. It is not essential to attend the Party School merely to gain a veneer of prestige before being promoted. When attending the Party School becomes a fixed procedure before promotion, it is only natural that the effectiveness of the training will not be apparent.

Fan Hongyu said earnestly

Fan Hongyu straightened his chest, withdrew his gaze from the newspaper, looked levelly at Qiu Mingshan, and smiled as he said: "Very good, Secretary Rong is quite swift in action. Now, I no longer have to worry about being questioned by others all the time"

Just as I was engrossed in the exciting part, the dormitory door was knocked on loudly.

Secretary Qiu, Fan Hongyu from hetushu.com has arrived

There are two colleagues with the surname Li in the office; the older Li is slightly older, yet still only in his twenties

The ability to retain his official position without receiving a formal organizational sanction should still be attributed to Qiu Mingshan's efforts

In fact, this action by Qiu Mingshan has already been perceived as a betrayal by Lei Yungang. Often, theoretical disputes, when brought into reality, evolve into conflicts between different factions or even factional struggles.

Fan Hongyu pondered and spoke, his speech very slow, articulating each word with great clarity

Fan Hongyu, you are either a genius or a madman

You also know that you are not qualified! Qiu Mingshan lightly hummed and said seriously: "Fan Hongyu, starting today, you are no longer a staff member of the municipal committee office. According to the collective research of the municipal committee office, you are not suitable to continue working in the office. You are to report immediately to the agricultural machinery factory in Yuyang County. Secretary Liang believes that young cadres should spend more time training at the grassroots level"

In Fan Hongyu's memory, there was another world where a promising young leader made a critical mistake at a crucial moment, resulting in severe criticism from the elders. His political career stagnated, and he never regained his former glory. In contrast, some comrades who insisted on their opinions at that time, although they faced a difficult period, most of them eventually saw the clouds part and the moon shine through, while a few exceptionally outstanding individuals rose to the center, wielding significant power and becoming revered leaders admired by the masses.

Fan Hongyu was taken aback, and soon read a teasing expression in Qiu Mingshan's eyes

Qiu Mingshan shook his head and muttered a phrase

Fan Hongyu got out of bed, opened the door, and asked with a smile, "Brother Li, what’s the matter?"
