Chapter 174 Information is the most important
Lu An returned to the third inspection room with a lot on his mind and knocked on the door of Director Zhao Yuedong's office.
"Director Zhao, are you free at some time? I'd like to treat you to a meal. Thank you for your selfless help during this period."
Lu An then said, "In addition, I would also like to ask you about the background and relationships of some leaders of the provincial party committee."
Zhao Yuedong was stunned, then he smiled: "I didn't expect you to be so direct."
Zhao Yuedong asked Lu An to close the door and sit in front of him before asking him, "Why do you think I would tell you?"
Information is the most important resource in officialdom, no doubt about it.
Imagine that in the officialdom, one person has excellent work ability, while another person can talk to all the leaders. Once there is an opportunity for promotion, the latter will definitely have a greater advantage.
The various relationships in officialdom are intertwined and complex, like a tangled mess.
If you don't have information, you won't know who belongs to whom, who is related to whom, who is just taking advantage of the power of others, who should not be messed with, etc.
Especially in a place like the provincial party committee where there are many hidden talents, you have no idea what is hidden behind every cloud of fog.
If you ever offend someone you shouldn't, you won't even have a place to cry.
This is also the reason why, no matter in which unit, those senior cadres, who may not have high ranks, are often the most valued by the leaders, because they have the most comprehensive information resources of the unit.
Lu An is currently in the entire provincial party committee compound, and looking around, Zhao Yuedong is the only one who can help.
The elegant OL Liang Yunxiao could perhaps be considered half-a-class, after all, from every aspect of her, it can be seen that she has a certain family background, but she is too young after all, and she does not understand many things as deeply as Zhao Yuedong.
Lu An hesitated for a moment: "I have two answers to this question. The first is that after several reports, I have left a deep impression on Central Committee member Xue, Provincial Party Committee Secretary Ma and other provincial party committee leaders. If I develop well in the future, it will be very helpful to Director Zhao and the Third Supervision Office."
Zhao Yuedong nodded to indicate that this was indeed the case.
"What's the other answer?" Zhao Yuedong asked again.
"I believe that Director Zhao still has ideals." Lu An replied.
Lu An said frankly that Zhao Yuedong's connections and abilities were enough for him to lead a department in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, but now he was only the office director of the Third Supervisory Office.
Lu An could guess that something must have happened: "But I can see the ideals and hopes in your heart, Director Zhao. I think I have the opportunity to help you realize these ideals and hopes now!"
Zhao Yuedong was shocked. It was far more incredible than the first answer.
Because some things have been weighing on his mind for too long.
Originally, when Zhao Yuedong first joined the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, he was a heroic and passionate young man. Later, because he offended someone while handling a case, he was sent to the Old Cadre Activity Center. Later, Ye Xianggao used his connections to get him out, so that he could become the office director of the Third Supervisory Office.
But that’s all. Zhao Yuedong can only have the opportunity to display his abilities under the master Ye Xiang.
Zhao Yuedong originally thought that this would be the end of his life.
Unexpectedly, he met Lu An. Zhao Yuedong felt like he saw his younger self, so he helped Lu An so much.
Zhao Yuedong shook his head helplessly: "You are really smart, kid. Sometimes I feel like you are just a young man in his early twenties. You are too experienced!"
Lu An was so frightened that he broke out in a sweat, thinking that Director Zhao was indeed very capable.
However, Zhao Yuedong did not say much. He went on to tell Lu An that there was no need to treat him to a meal. As long as Lu An could remember what he said today and maintain his current work enthusiasm and ideals, he would be satisfied.
Lu An breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had made the right bet.
"I can tell you some important news, but you still need to analyze the specific issues yourself!"
Zhao Yuedong emphasized to Lu An that the water in the provincial party committee compound is too deep and no one can guarantee that they can grasp all the information.
Zhao Yuedong especially emphasized that, including himself, "I hope you don't completely trust the information I provide you, because firstly, I may keep secrets, and secondly, there may be some information that I am not clear about!"
Zhao Yuedong's words can be said to be from the bottom of his heart.
"I know that you came to ask me today, Lu An. It must be because someone invited you to dinner after the multimedia conference and wanted to get close to you."
"This is a very important social event in the officialdom. You can't turn it down like you did before. Doing so will give people the impression that you are unapproachable, which is bad for your future development. You must find a way to identify it."
"I can tell you some relatively important information here. First of all, Director Liu from the Provincial Party Committee Office..."
Zhao Yuedong then briefly told Lu An some information in the office. Lu An opened his notebook and pen, and tried hard to write it all down, saying that he would take it back and analyze it carefully.
Zhao Yuedong was very satisfied with Lu An's hard work. He gave him a message at the end: "The relationship with the Provincial Party Committee Office must be your top priority. Whether it is because it is closest to the Provincial Party Committee Secretary or because your organizational relationship is still there for the time being, you need to maintain it."
"Although the system of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is relatively independent, the transfer and promotion of cadres still requires connections between the Provincial Party Committee and the Organization Department. If you don't maintain a good relationship with them, it will be very troublesome if they block you!"
Lu An nodded to indicate that he had taken note of it.
Seeing Lu An's serious expression, Zhao Yuedong suddenly asked curiously: "All your sources of information are here with me. What would you do if I didn't tell you from the beginning?"
If Zhao Yuedong had asked this question at the beginning, Lu An would have found it difficult to answer.
But now that he had obtained the information he needed, Lu An felt more confident.
"Director Zhao, I still have two directions here."
Lu An replied: "The first thing is to ask for help from Comrade Liang Yunxiao. I have a good relationship with her, and she should be able to help me a little."
Zhao Yuedong nodded. She did have vision and knowledge, but it was not enough.
Lu An raised his second finger: "The next one is the art of humility."
Pride brings harm, while humility brings benefit.
Lu An said that it didn’t matter if he didn’t know any information, as long as he put himself in the right position.
"Maybe I can't handle relationships as well as an old-timer like you, Director Zhao, but at least I won't have any problems in the general direction," said Lu An.
Zhao Yuedong had to give Lu An a thumbs up: "Smart!"
Indeed, since Lu An has the approval of all the major leaders and he is so young, as long as he is on the right track, there won't be any big problems.
