Facing Xu Dingbang's question, Chen Ping was stunned for the first time, but this was not how unexpected Xu Dingbang's problem was. In fact, whether Chen Ping was talking to Jia Yusheng or Zhao Zhenchuan before, he was preparing for these issues. But what surprised Chen Ping was that he did not expect Xu Dingbang to be so straightforward and never give up at all.

But it is correct to think about it. Xu Dingbang and Yang Qi are the General Secretary of the Central Committee and the Premier of the State. They have to deal with so many things every day, so how can they have so much time to spend with them here? In addition, for them, no matter what tasks they assign to themselves, they have no right to refuse, so they don’t need to consider Chen Ping’s attitude.

To control subordinates with kindness and power, you are the leaders and subordinates at a certain level. Just like if the county party secretary wants to call the police chief to do things, he has to give him some sweetness. This is called unity of comrades!

But if the grade exceeds one degree, there is no need to be these twists and turns. It is like the municipal party secretary calling a village party secretary to the municipal party committee to assign tasks. Does the municipal party secretary still need to speak up to the village party secretary and give you any benefits? This is simply impossible. The municipal party secretary just ordered it directly, and he would not care about what you think, because the municipal party secretary knew very well that if you don’t do it well, someone would naturally deal with you. Now Xu Dingbang basically means that to Chen Ping.

Since the formal conversation has begun, Chen Ping will go on. Chen Ping said: "General Secretary, I have no problem here, but I am just a deputy mayor who has not joined the Standing Committee!"

Prime Minister Yang Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought about asking for power before I started working. You little comrade has a strong desire for power!"

Chen Ping smiled embarrassedly and said, "Prime Minister, you are wronging me. I am not for myself, but because some work cannot be carried out if there is no corresponding power in your hands!"

"We can suggest that Jiangnan Province consider promoting you to mayor of Luzhuang or even secretary of the municipal party committee, but do you dare to ask for it?" Xu Dingbang said.

"Of course I dare to ask for it."

Chen Ping's answer surprised Xu Dingbang and Yang Qi, especially Xu Dingbang, because Xu Dingbang had not had contact with Chen Ping once or twice, and he knew very well that Chen Ping was not the kind of brainless young man.

For Chen Ping, it is already the limit for him to become the deputy mayor of Luzhuang at the age of 30. If he is promoted to the mayor of Luzhuang or the secretary of the municipal party committee, what is the difficulty of this decision itself? It is just a matter of one sentence for the two national leaders, Xu Dingbang and Yang Qi. However, this approach is to boost the growth of seedlings and to build Chen Ping on the fire. It is not only not helpful to his future development, but is also very harmful. Can't he see such a simple truth? Or does he have only higher power in his eyes?

Just as Xu Dingbang and Yang Qi were puzzled, Chen Ping changed the conversation and continued: "It's just that there is no need to do this. I admit that I want to be an official and a high-ranking official, but I can still grasp the degree in it."

"As for what I want, I actually hope to have the power to protect my work. After all, the work you assigned to me by the General Secretary and the Prime Minister is definitely not accepted by other colleagues in the reform of the officialdom. Therefore, in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, I must have some guarantees." Chen Ping said.

After hearing Chen Ping's words, Xu Dingbang did not answer immediately, but turned to Yang Qi and said, "Prime Minister Yang, you can see that this kid can be so righteous if he wants power."

Yang Qi sighed, "That's right! Times are different. When we were county magistrates, we had to be careful even when we met a city cadre, for fear that we would do something wrong. We must complete any tasks and orders our superiors have. We dare not even react to our superiors when we encounter difficulties, and we can only think of a solution."

Speaking of this, Yang Qi smiled and shook his head and said, "I really didn't expect it. It seems that with the continuous development of the economy, the young cadres now have become very pragmatic!"

"I think this kid is unique," said Xu Dingbang. "Others say that people with ability have special personalities, and I think they will be like Chen Ping."

Chen Ping said: "I accept criticism from the General Secretary and the Prime Minister. Actually, I don't want this. It's just that this time the matter is special, so of course we have to treat it differently."

"What a difference," Xu Dingbang said, "This way, Premier Yang and I will talk to three comrades Lin Zhengyue, Xiao Hongkun and Zhao Zhenchuan of your Provincial Party Committee in the future, so that they can pay more attention and take care of the administrative system reform and anti-corruption activities carried out by Luzhuang, and avoid the trouble you mentioned as much as possible. Do you think this is OK?"

Chen Ping nodded and said, "Okay, thank you General Secretary and Prime Minister. As long as there is guarantee, I will definitely give the General Secretary and Prime Minister a satisfactory answer!"

"Don't talk so much first," said Xu Dingbang. "Let's talk about your ideas on administrative system reform and anti-corruption and integrity."

"Good General Secretary, I actually think that administrative system reform and anti-corruption and promoting integrity should be integrated, that is, administrative system reform is for anti-corruption and promoting integrity, and the same anti-corruption and promoting integrity is for better administrative system reform."

Chen Ping continued: "Before carrying out administrative system reform, I think we should first figure out what the problem with the current administrative system is. We cannot blindly reform. We must base ourselves on the correct ideological path, otherwise administrative resources will be wasted in vain."

"A good person must be based on the correct ideological path," Xu Dingbang praised and asked Chen Ping, "So what do you think the problem with the current administrative system lies?"

"I think the biggest problem with the administrative system now is that the power is unclear and the system is unclear." Chen Ping said, "General Secretary and Premier, because I work at the grassroots level, I have a particularly deep understanding of this. At the grassroots level of local governments, especially in counties and townships, many officials have the situation of power contracting and shouldering power."

Xu Dingbang and Yang Qi nodded silently. They also knew very well that this situation was common in the local area. An official could usually hold many other positions and be in charge of various different jobs.

"Originally, there should be specialization in the profession, and work should be specialized. However, with the widespread power contract and power shoulder, officials have to point fingers at everything, which leads to waste of administrative resources. However, these officials are taking over power but not taking over the responsibility together, resulting in unclear responsibilities." Chen Ping said, "In this way, grassroots cadres have a lot of things in charge, but at the same time they don't have to be responsible. Doing things in this way will lead to unscrupulousness and corruption is more likely to be born."

Xu Dingbangen said with a serious expression: "You are right. Some comrades in the local area are indeed very distorted. So do you have any good ideas?"
