In the workplace drama "Yongzheng Dynasty", there is a character that people in the workplace must pay attention to - that is, Li Wei, who can go from a little beggar to the governor of Liangjiang (one of the nine feudal officials of the Qing Dynasty).
So, why was Li Wei able to counterattack in the workplace and become the first favorite of Yongzheng's side?
Today's article is going to talk about Li Wei's outstanding performance in the workplace.
Details of a letter
After the incident of "burning a hundred officials' deeds", in order to find out the truth of the matter, the old man Kang of the southern tour promoted Nian Qianyao, who had exterminated Jiangxia Town, to the governor of Sichuan, and summoned Nian Qianyao to interrogate on this ground.
Before Nian Qianyao set off, Wu Sidao cautiously proposed to the fourth child:
In order to prevent Nian Qianyao, who was promoted to the rank of feudal official, from getting out of control and causing a big disaster and thus affecting the fourth child's plan to seize the heir, someone should be sent to monitor his every move.
The fourth child was already dissatisfied with Nian Qianyao's behavior of secretly swallowing millions of taels of silver in Jiangxia Town, and after listening to Wu Sidao's suggestion, he immediately decided to send his henchman Li Wei to keep an eye on Nian Qianyao.
For this reason, under the secret instruction of the fourth child and the active cooperation of the fourth Fujin, Li Wei staged a ridiculous drama of drilling the grove of the fourth master's mansion with Cui'er late at night according to the script outline written by the fourth child.
And Nian Qianyao, who came to say goodbye to the fourth child, originally saw Li Wei and Cui'er tied to the tree and didn't think much about it, but when he met the fourth child, he found that the leader's wife showed her head for the first time, and the master of human affection, Nian Qianyao, noticed the problem in an instant-
As a subordinate, it is fortunate and sad to be suspicious and suspicious of the leader.
Fortunately, this is enough to prove that you have considerable value for the leader, otherwise the leader can list you as an object of observation or directly sentence you to "death" at the moment of suspicion;
And sadly, if you can't find a way to dispel the suspicions of the leader, then you will get into an extremely awkward tug-of-war -
In this regard, Nian Qianyao had no choice.
Speaking out at this time will not only be useless to the status quo, but will also make the leader not come to the stage, it is better to pretend to cooperate with the leader as if nothing happened, so as to show that he has a clear conscience.
Sure enough, when the fourth child saw that Nian Qianyao was so knowledgeable about current affairs, he glanced at it meaningfully, and then showed a satisfied smile on his serious face.
And Li Wei, who is about to enter the officialdom, also learned the first lesson of the workplace through this incident in front of him, as a subordinate, if you want to be recognized by the leader, you must not only be clever and discerning, but more importantly, you must know how to reassure the leader.
So, how did Li Wei do it?
With the development of the plot, under the operation behind the fourth series, the letter written by the prince to Ren Bo'an was detonated by the hands of the Eight Masters, which led to the second abolition of the prince.
Subsequently, the nine sons ushered in a climactic moment. Soon after, the 60,000 troops sent by Old Man Kang to the northwest to quell the rebellion were ambushed by Dzungaria and the whole army was annihilated, and a good show for the king of the great general began.
In this big drama, the fourth child who originally ate fasting and recited Buddha also planned to give it a go and fight for military power.
After listening to Wu Sidao's analysis, I learned that Lao Fourteen was the best choice in Mr. Kang's heart. So he followed Wu Sidao's suggestion and took the initiative to recommend Lao Fourteen as the general king in exchange for the position of governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and secretly used the supply of grain and grass to clamp down on the military power held by Lao Fourteen.
In this way, Nian Qianyao's value to the fourth child was once again reflected, and he became the best candidate for the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu in the eyes of the fourth child.
And just when the fourth and the fourteenth negotiated a good deal, and Nian Qianyao's promotion to the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu was basically a certainty, the fourth child suddenly received a "secret letter from heaven" from Li Wei-
On the letter, Li Wei, who was full of typos, expressed his sincere greetings to the leader in the broken "Heavenly Book Language", and when Wu Sidao and Nian Qiuyue understood the meaning of the letter through the translation of the fourth child, Wu Nian and the others laughed on the spot-
"Master, slave Li Weigou'er led his wife Cui'er, and his master Fupu covered his head...... This is kowtowing to the master Fujin. ”
Please note that there is a special little detail in this letter -
Li Wei made many typos when reporting on innocuous trivial matters, but when it came to the secret mission of monitoring Nian Qianyao's movements, there was not the slightest mistake in the words "Nian Qianyao."
And this is Li Wei's cleverness!
In many cases, the best way to get your boss to notice your attitude towards work is through this seemingly ordinary, but in fact extremely ingenious small detail.
As a leader, time and energy are limited, which means that leaders will never spend a lot of time and energy observing and screening your abilities and attitudes;
At the same time, most leaders are suspicious, they will not believe what you deliberately show, but will want to believe the details that you inadvertently revealed.
Through the details he sees, the leader completes the overall evaluation of your "peek at a glance and know the whole leopard".
And through the small details revealed in this letter, Li Wei skillfully completed the extra points in the heart of the fourth child-
You must know that Li Wei did not write the words "Nian Qianyao" wrongly, which is enough to show how much he attaches importance to the leader and the tasks assigned by the leader. This is also the reason why the fourth child was full of smiles when he read the letter.
At this point, we also need to pay attention to one more point:
If this detail is intentional by Li Wei, and he deliberately miswrites other words to highlight his importance to the three words "Nian Qianyao", so as to get the approval of the fourth child, then Li Wei is likely to be much more powerful than what we see now!
Get off the sedan and walk behind the rules
In the TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty", there is a famous scene about Li Wei's mixed workplace, that is, Li Wei, who was promoted to the fourth grain road, chose to get off the sedan chair and walk before he arrived at the door of the leader's house when he returned to Beijing to visit the fourth child.
Many people's attention to this plot is focused on the language art of Li Wei's wife Cui'er in the follow-up, as well as the scene where Li Wei and his wife named their son "Li Zhong's Fourth Master", thus ignoring the most educational place for people in the workplace.
In fact, for people in the workplace, what should really be paid attention to is Li Wei's move to get off the sedan chair and walk, as well as the workplace rules implied in it.
After Nian Qianyao was promoted to the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Li Wei, who followed Nian Qianyao, also rose all the way, from the Qipin County Order to the Sipin Grain Road.
On the occasion of Mr. Kang's birthday, Li Wei returned to Beijing with his wife and children to visit the fourth child.
Li Wei, who was originally sitting in a sedan chair, just arrived at the alley of the leader's house, and hurriedly called the sedan chair man to stop the sedan chair, and then said to his wife Cui'er:
"Let's go, let's go, here is the master, but we don't have a sedan chair. ”
At this time, Li Wei, who proposed to get off the sedan chair and walk, did not realize that he would meet the leader at the door of his house next. That is to say, Li Wei's move was not to perform in front of the leader, but a spontaneous behavior.
And this is one of the key reasons why Li Weineng became Yongzheng's first favorite.
Why is it that in the workplace, many people were originally celebrities around the leader, but with the change of time, as soon as the position was promoted a little, they began to stand still, clearly being beaten into the "cold palace" by the leader?
Why is it that in the workplace, some people are obviously not bad at ability and are smart, but it is difficult to step into the sequence of job promotion?
This happens, most likely because your behavior has violated the taboo of the workplace and touched the rules of the workplace -
As a subordinate, he did not correct his identity in front of the leader.
Maybe some people will dismiss such a point of view, but some things have never changed since ancient times, this has nothing to do with rank, this has nothing to do with dignity and inferiority, in the game, if you want to be motivated, you have to abide by the corresponding rules, this is the reality.
Some may ask, why do I have to respect the leader?
You can of course be disrespectful, but you have to be clear that:
This does not prove that you are noble, nor does it prove how noble you are, it only shows that you are ignorant, do not understand the rules, and do not understand politeness.
Why is there a course called workplace etiquette in reality?
Why is there a corresponding seating arrangement and etiquette at the wine table, in the reception, and even when taking the bus?
And why should there be an order in which to speak, and why should there be a high or low position?
All sorts of things show that there are always rules.
You say you want to be free, but you have to be clear that there is no absolute freedom in this world, and if not, why do you have to set up traffic lights?
You say you just don't want to play by the rules?
Of course you can!
The premise is that you have the strength or ability to surpass the rules, for example, you are outstanding, and the whole company and the whole unit cannot operate normally without you, and you can naturally resist the rules to a certain extent.
Otherwise, your confrontation rules are shaking the tree, that is, "eyes are high and low", and you are not sensible!
Know that the reality is:
Your promotion in the workplace needs to be recognized by the leader first, and your promotion involves not only your personal career development and future, but also the joy and laughter of a small family behind you.
In the play, Li Wei is aware of this, so he will always remind himself to correct his identity in front of the fourth child, and will gradually become the fourth child's henchman, and rise step by step to such a pivotal position as the governor of Liangjiang.
And Nian Qianyao is a naked negative teaching material.
Later, after being promoted to the general who ruled the four provinces, he immediately entered the state of "driving crazy", taking Yongzheng as his "benchmark account", not correcting his identity as a subordinate, and vainly trying to be equal to the fourth child, which led to his final tragic ending.
Back to the plot, when the fourth child learned the truth about Li Wei coming on foot through Cui'er:
It turned out that he came by sedan chair, and when he arrived at the mouth of the alley, the dog said that it was disrespectful to sit in a sedan chair in front of the master, so he walked in. ”
Note, after listening to Cui'er's words, the fourth child looked at Li Wei's satisfied eyes full of recognition, in fact, at this moment, it basically laid the foundation that Li Wei will have a day of prosperity under the fourth child.
In the play, if Nian Qianyao can have the consciousness of Li Wei, he may not have an ending of being given death.
Li Wei's biggest workplace crisis (huge crisis and major opportunity)
On the day when Li Wei, who became the grain road, got off the sedan chair and walked to visit the fourth child, the fourth child, who was extremely satisfied with Li Wei's performance, said something like this:
"I'm going to rush to the palace now, you go to see Fujin first, and then Li Wei will wait for me at Mr. Wu in Fengwan Pavilion, and we'll eat dinner together." ”
Why did the fourth child specifically tell Li Wei to go to Fengwan Pavilion to find Wu Sidao?
Note that this is not an appointment with Li Wei for a place to eat, but an extremely crucial test for Li Wei!
It can be said that the next will be the biggest crisis that Li Wei has encountered in the workplace, and as long as Li Wei can successfully pass this crisis, he will be completely recognized by the fourth child.
After the fourth child left, Li Wei and Cui'er began to act separately as soon as they entered the fourth master's mansion.
Cui'er took Li Zhong to visit Sifujin. There, Cui'er not only got the jade lock rewarded by Sifujin, but also got the "chicken feather arrow" given by Sifujin:
"If he dares to bully you, tell me, I'll call the shots for you. ”
However, with laughter and laughter on this side, Li Wei is facing a huge test.
Li Wei came to Gao Fu's residence, looked at the withered and ruined scene around him, and immediately realized that his hair had suffered a tragic accident, and there was only one person who could kill Gao Fu in the Fourth Master's Mansion, and that was the Fourth Master.
At the moment when Li Wei fell into memories, Wu Sidao, who got the hint from the fourth child, quietly came to Li Wei's side, and the next conversation between the two not only involved Li Wei's future prospects, but also involved whether Li Wei could get out of the fourth master's mansion safely this time.
Perhaps Wu Sidao was still ashamed of Gao Fu's death, so before starting the temptation, he gave Li Wei an extremely important reminder:
"How many people have been cold for ten years, asking for this top but can't get it, dog, you have to do it yourself!"
What does it mean to be "good for yourself"?
Wu Sidao is reminding Li Wei that he must not be resentful of the fourth child because of Gao Fu's death, so as to ruin his good future because of a small loss.
And for Li Wei, why do you need to remind Wu Sidao.
Note a detail in the plot:
This detail shows that Li Wei, who learned that Gao Fu was dead, had realized that Wu Sidao was the "assessment" officer arranged by the fourth child, and at this time, once he expressed dissatisfaction or resentment because of Gao Fu's death, he would inevitably fail to pass the test arranged by the leadership.
Therefore, after listening to Wu Sidao's words, Li Wei immediately replied:
"Mr. Wu, I understand what you mean. Being a person and being an official is a reason, that is, we must not forget our roots. ”
Wu Sidao saw that Li Wei was so upright, so he asked Li Wei: "What does it mean not to forget your roots."
Li Wei replied:
"This reason is very simple, take me as an example, it was a small flower child, with the fourth master I have today, the fourth master is my book, when I forget the fourth master, the leaves on the tips of my branches, there will be no roots, and they will die. ”
The meaning of Li Wei's words is obvious-
Mr. Wu, your reminder makes me understand that I will not do anything wrong. I don't know why the leader wanted to execute Gao Fu, but I know one thing, everything I have now is given by the leader, so I have to be grateful, and I can't forget my roots.
That is to say, at any time, I will not do anything to be sorry for the leader, otherwise, I will be ashamed of the word "person".
After saying these words, Li Wei asked Wu Sidao:
"Mr. Wu, are you saying that what I said is right?"
In other words, Mr. Wu, look at the answer I gave, can you pass the test?
Wu Sidao replied with a smile:
"孺子可教也!"
At this time, let's go back to this plot, whether what Li Wei said is sincere or not, let's not discuss it.
But we have to pay attention to one point, which is a "key point" that Li Wei wants to express through his words-
"Being a person and being an official is a reason, that is, you can't forget your roots. ”
In fact, this is just the reason for being an official and being a person, and if you want to mix well in the workplace, you must also follow this "reason".
Of course, this does not mean that we must be ruthless and unprincipled for this, but that on the basis of not touching the principles and bottom line, if we want to develop in the workplace, we must learn to be grateful, but also learn to be a man!
Once you have done something, you have already been sorry for the word "person", how can you talk about the recognition of the leader, let alone seek development in the crowd?
After all, for most of us ordinary people, the easiest place to be recognized by leaders is our person.
That's why some people say:
"In the end, in fact, it is a character!"
