Power and Wealth – Xie Huilan's Allure

Glancing at the files, Xie Huilan was slightly surprised. There were three files, two for women and one for a man. One of the women was named Xue Bing, surnamed Xue. Could she be a relative of Xue Meijing? Hmm, it seemed likely. Xie Huilan glanced at the upright Xue Meijing.

Another woman was named Wang Meiyuan, surnamed Wang, the same as the mayor. She might be one of Mayor Wang's people. Although the Party Secretary and the Mayor were on the same side, there still had to be a hierarchy. Friction was inevitable in the future, and the people around her couldn't be favored by either side. If this Wang Meiyuan really had some relationship with Mayor Wang, she could be scared to death.

The last one was what surprised her the most. It was simple: she was a female Party Secretary. According to the unwritten rules of the system, unless there were special circumstances, the secretary should be a woman. Everyone knew this, since they often worked together, and it was important to avoid any suspicion of impropriety. It was like a male boss always having a female secretary, while a successful male cadre generally used a male secretary, also to avoid suspicion.

Of course, there are always exceptions. Occasionally, male officials do use female secretaries. For example, her husband, Dong Xuebin, used a female secretary named Yao Cui when he was the deputy county head. That required immense pressure and is not something an ordinary person would dare to do.

Even when using a female secretary, there are usually special reasons. For instance, Yao Cui was her husband's classmate, which is why he used her despite the pressure.

As a department-level cadre, how could Xue Meijing not know the ins and outs? Since she knew, the fact that she still dared to submit it is unusual and worthy of deep consideration. Xie Huilan's gaze inevitably drifted to more detailed information. If the information was brief, then Xu Zhi was someone Xue Meijing had no choice but to submit due to unavoidable circumstances, and she didn't genuinely hope she would choose him. But if it was a detailed, positive evaluation… Xie Huilan couldn't help but narrow her eyes as she read it. The evaluation was detailed and positive: "This comrade has many strengths, a tough style, strong endurance, and is decisive and courageous in his actions. He has a spirit of going deep and never turning back until he's completely satisfied. He's a capable and efficient person, someone the leader finds very comfortable using. He can deeply and comprehensively understand the leader's preferences and solve all the leader's worries…" It was an interesting, somewhat strange evaluation, seemingly implying something. She couldn't help but ask Xue Meijing, "What do you think of Comrade Xu Zhi?" Xue Meijing's face…colorSlightly flushed, she said charmingly, "Well, he's very good. He has many strengths, is very capable, and has great endurance. If the secretary were to use him, he would be a good fit!"

Xie Huilan looked at Xu Zhi in the photo, who was not particularly handsome, with a face full of pimples, and could be considered somewhat ugly. For someone like him to be a secretary to a female municipal party secretary, either Xue Meijing was out of her mind, or there was definitely something about him worth noting. She couldn't help but ask again, "But he's a bit ugly, I'm afraid he's not suitable?" She wanted to test Xue Meijing's attitude more clearly.

Xue Meijing said, "He is somewhat unattractive, even a bit ugly, but appearances can be deceiving. Sometimes ugliness isn't necessarily a bad thing. The secretary will understand after getting to know him better. Besides, it doesn't matter if a capable person is a little ugly. What matters is having excellent skills, comprehensive abilities, and being able to take care of the leader comfortably. His work is also impeccable, decisive and courageous, very useful!"

"Oh!" It seemed like a rather positive evaluation, but it made sense. Her husband, Dong Xuebin, was also not particularly handsome, but his abilities were top-notch. Xie Huilan had assumed Xue Meijing would prioritize recommending her relative, but to her surprise, Xue Meijing favored Xu Zhi. This alone made Xu Zhi stand out. Xie Huilan became interested, thinking to herself, "If you really have the abilities of my husband, I don't mind taking the pressure for you and making an exception." It seemed necessary to meet Xu Zhi.

"Alright," Xie Huilan closed the file, "Please ask Minister Xu of the Organization Department to come after him."

"Okay!" Xue Meijing closed the door and left.

Xu Wen, the Executive Deputy Minister of the Organization Department, was also a beautiful woman.MILFThe officer was decisive and efficient, seemingly not talkative, but very dignified. Xie Huilan wanted to hear her evaluation.

"Minister Xu, what do you think of Xu Zhi?"

Xu Wen looked up at Xie Huilan and said after a moment, "Very capable!" "Very capable!" Xie Huilan frowned and asked again, "Anything else?" "Extremely capable!" "

Anything else?" "

Exceptionally capable!"

"Oh!" Xie Huilan continued to look at the file thoughtfully, but in her heart she was thinking: It seems that Organization Minister Xu Wen has a very high opinion of Xu Zhi, but the evaluation is very general and strange. Very capable! The evaluation is very high, but it doesn't specify which aspects of his work he is capable of. Xu Wen is so vague because she has just arrived and doesn't know her own background yet, so she doesn't dare to express too much.

After all, the position of secretary to the top regional leader is a very sensitive one. To put it simply, it's like having the municipal party secretary's personal steward, one of her most trusted people. Therefore, no top leader would casually hand over the power to choose a secretary to someone else, and no one would be foolish enough to arrange a secretary for the party secretary—that's a major taboo, tantamount to planting a spy next to the party secretary. A secretary arranged this way wouldn't last long; they'd soon be replaced by the party secretary and would also offend the top leader.
Therefore, no matter what inclination anyone has towards her secretary, they won't say it, or even express it. So Xu Wen's statement was quite bold; it seems this organization minister is quite inclined towards this person named Xu Zhi.

Xu Wen and Xu Zhi, both surnamed Xu, what's their relationship? Relatives?

Hmm, should I use this Xu Zhi?

In any case, arranging a male secretary for a female leader is very bold, or rather, arranging a secretary of the opposite sex for a leader is rather inappropriate. Xu Wen, as an organization minister for many years, has rich organizational experience; in theory, she wouldn't make such a low-level mistake. Since he wouldn't normally make such a mistake, yet he did, it's quite intriguing. Either Xu Zhi's work ability is exceptionally outstanding, or he has a very strong background. Which one is he?

From what she understands, Xu Wen, as a female organization minister, has a relatively mild personality and doesn't show any obvious bias towards any side. However, it seems she's showing signs of moving closer to her now. Should she accept?

The Party Secretary's greatest authority lies in personnel matters, and one of the key ways the Secretary exercises this authority is through the organization minister. The mayor, deputy Party Secretary, and organization minister are the three driving forces behind the Party Secretary's control over personnel power.

The mayor goes without saying, because no Party Secretary and mayor are truly of one mind; complex power struggles and conflicts of interest are involved. Even if the Party Secretary and mayor have a very good relationship, there will still be some apparent conflict, otherwise one of them will inevitably be transferred because higher-ups won't allow it. A collaboration between the Party Secretary and the mayor would practically mean one-man rule, and no leader would trust their subordinates to act this way.

Therefore, rather than saying the Party Secretary controls three driving forces behind personnel power, it's more accurate to say that the Party Secretary actually controls two. As a secretary, one must either be a deputy secretary or the organization minister to effectively control personnel and keep the mayor in check.

Now that Xu Wen wants to get closer to her, she can try accepting her offer. If Xu Zhi really isn't up to par, she can always replace him later.

Xie Huilan paused slightly, then asked, "Really? Exceptionally capable?" Xu Wen seemed to understand Xie Huilan's friendliness and smiled broadly, saying, "Yes, exceptionally capable, and very persistent. He sees everything through to the end! He also has great stamina and perseverance." Xie Huilan smiled and said, "Okay, call him to my office, I'll take a look." After Xu Wen left, Xie Huilan couldn't help but smile, "Very capable, a good assessment. How exactly is he capable? Looks like I'll have to find out myself."

About half an hour later, there was a knock on the office door. Xie Huilan didn't even look up and said, "Come in." The person entered, but Xie Huilan didn't notice; she was looking at a document.

Ten minutes later, after reading the document, she found a cup of tea next to her. It was Biluochun tea, with a light yet lingering fragrance. The tea leaves, emerald green and curled, swirled in the clear, mirror-like water—exactly her favorite.

Hmm, good observation skills! She noticed the tea she'd just finished drinking was Biluochun as soon as she entered, and stood respectfully to the side, silent, clearly aware of her role. She'd gotten into character even before the leader had given any instructions; she was quick-witted, meticulous, and conscientious.

Xie Huilan took a small sip of tea before looking up to examine the newcomer. This was Xu Zhi. Xie Huilan had to admit that the Organization Department must have taken some artistic photos; he was much uglier than in the pictures. His face was covered in pimples, many of them with what appeared to be thick white tips. His physique was also unappealing; he was quite obese, probably weighing around 300 pounds. That wasn't the main issue; he didn't discriminate against overweight people—after all, many leaders were overweight—but

an overweight person combined with dwarfism was unacceptable. Although she knew from the resume that Xu Zhi was short, Xie Huilan realized she had made a subjective mistake: she had placed too much faith in the information on paper. Numbers can sometimes be misleading. The resume stated Xu Zhi was 1.51 meters tall, which Xie Huilan assumed was only 20 centimeters shorter than average, not much shorter.

However, upon meeting him in person, Xie Huilan realized she was seriously wrong, extremely wrong. At over 1.7 meters tall, and wearing heels, Xu Zhi barely reached her shoulder—it was too incongruous.

While a leader's secretary doesn't necessarily have to be handsome...BeautyBut at the very least, he should have decent features, right? After all, working with an ugly person all day would affect one's work mood! She couldn't help but feel dissatisfied and puzzled with Xu Wen. Why would she bother to place someone like that by her side? It seemed like a thankless task.

And that wasn't all. He was 1.51 meters tall but weighed 310 kilograms! His width was practically greater than his height. Could such a guy keep up with the leader's pace? And those thick, elephant-like legs and arms—it looked like he'd been bodybuilding, his muscles bulging out, very strange, making him look tyrannical and fierce. Yet, this very person stood respectfully, like a gentle lamb, head bowed and meek—it was truly comical!

Xie Huilan couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. She even wondered if Xue Meijing and Xu Wen were joking with her. Could someone with such an appearance be her secretary? Even a male leader wouldn't use such a secretary, let alone a female leader like her! After all, a secretary is a leader's second image, and such a second image would ruin the leader's noble image among the cadres and the masses! Xie Huilan even considered calling Xue Meijing to take Xu Zhi back.

But she was even more puzzled. Anyone who could reach the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee shouldn't be brainless. Didn't Xue Meijing or Xu Wen realize that Xu Zhi wasn't suitable to be a secretary? She picked up the resume with a puzzled look, and this only deepened her confusion.

As Xue Meijing's subordinate, Xu Zhi had received high praise from her. Moreover, Xu Zhi's resume was even more perplexing. He had served as a secretary to three different female leaders, including Xu Wen, who spoke highly of him. But strangely, he was no longer Xu Wen's secretary, and now he was assigned to her.

Hmm, Xu Wen hadn't assigned him a good position. Generally, if a secretary performed well, when a leader replaced a secretary, they would always give the former one a good job—either transferred to a county or a municipal bureau. Even if not a head of a department, it would at least be a deputy head position. Unless the secretary was extremely disliked by the leader, but Xu Wen's evaluation didn't seem to indicate dissatisfaction.

Xu Zhi's first superior was the former director of the Finance Bureau, who was later transferred to another city as deputy mayor. Before leaving office, the director spoke exceptionally highly of Xu Zhi, but strangely, she didn't give him any official position.

The third person is even more unbelievable: Mei Lin, the former mayor of Xiaxing City. Yes, before I was promoted to the rank of director-general, she was a well-known young female mayor! When I took office, she was transferred. After all, having two women as the top two leaders of a city would be seen as a sign of female dominance, given that society is still patriarchal. Interestingly, she actually used a secretary like Xu Zhi. But strangely, she didn't give him any official position before leaving, and even sent him back to the secretariat.

Was Mei Lin incompetent? Impossible, Mei Lin is a strong woman! In fact, for a woman to achieve a high-ranking position, she definitely has to put in several times more effort than a man; it takes considerable ability. So, to say that Mei Lin didn't make proper arrangements is unreasonable. Logically

, a secretary who hasn't been given any position by several leaders and then returns to the secretariat should be looked down upon.

But Xu Zhi was clearly different. At least his immediate superiors, Xue Meijing, the head of the municipal party committee, and the organization minister, both valued him highly; otherwise, they wouldn't have risked recommending him.

There was also a note: "Comrade Xu Zhi believes his image is not good and has repeatedly requested not to be assigned to a major leadership position, willingly serving as a secretary to share the burdens of his superiors. He is a pragmatic, diligent, and hardworking cadre!"

Xie Huilan was surprised! This meant that it wasn't that Xu Zhi's previous superiors hadn't offered him a position; he had voluntarily given it up.

He didn't want to be a leader, only a secretary—interesting! And a secretary to a female leader at that.

Suddenly, Xie Huilan understood. Only someone like him could be a secretary to a female leader. Because she felt safe with him! The biggest taboo and reason leaders didn't want female secretaries was the fear of scandals. Imagine, with Xu Zhi's image, if rumors spread that he had an affair with his female leader, who would believe it? Female leaders held high positions and power; if they wanted a lover, they could easily find a handsome young man, not someone like Xu Zhi. Therefore, having someone like Xu Zhi by their side was the most reassuring.

Judging from his appearance, Xu Zhi must be very capable and competent; several leaders have given him consistent evaluations! Okay, let's give Xu Zhi a try for now!
