Chapter 114: Wine meets confidant
The second brother-in-law continued: "But I didn't take the money and cards home, I know best what kind of person Erya is, I am afraid that taking it back will scare her, I am afraid that she will not be able to accept it for a while, so I will be asked to return it." Luckily, they didn't deliver anything to my home, they all blatantly delivered it to my office.
During the Spring Festival, it was even more powerful, I roughly calculated that the office had at least 150,000 yuan in cash, as well as cards, famous cigarettes, and famous wine.
Looking at so many things, I was a little fluttering, and all my ambitions and ideals were thrown out of the clouds.
On the day I went home during the Spring Festival, it was the words of the fourth brother that woke me up completely, and I was still a little nervous in my heart at that time, after all, the number is not small. Maybe I don't know my demeanor at that time, I think maybe I'm more worried than secretly happy, otherwise you can't see it, Dad, it seems that I still can't do bad things, even if I do it, people can see it at a glance.
The fourth brother wrote me just two words: Don't be greedy! Although I was very calm on the surface, I thought I was very witty and lied and said that I had written "work hard," but my heart exploded, and I immediately turned the river and the sea upside down, and I was thinking about how the fourth brother knew about my acceptance of bribes? Could the fourth brother really be amazing? Can he really see through people's minds? Alas, it is still the old saying: If you want people not to know, you can't do anything unless you do. Even the fourth brother can't hide it, who else can he hide it?
After I went home, I didn't have a good rest for three nights in a row, and that Spring Festival was the loneliest and most troublesome Spring Festival I ever had.
In the next few days, I was quiet, my heart was no longer restless, reason returned to my mind, and the money and material desires that filled my mind were gradually driven out by me, I thought of my old superiors, thought of the second and the army, and most importantly, the two words that the fourth brother gave me advice.
The fierce ideological struggle was even more intense and intense than I was on the front line.
On the afternoon of the first day after I went to work, in accordance with discipline, I handed over everything to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, explained the situation, and did a good job of registration.
I was even praised by my superiors, and I knew in my heart that if it wasn't for the help of my fourth brother, I would have almost fallen under the guns of money and gifts.
What I did caused quite a stir in our bureau. Alas, I have said that I have broken the rules, who will still ask me to do things in the future, that I am pretentious and do not understand the officialdom to usher in the send-off, and that this is not shaking off the old bottom of our bureau for the higher leaders to see? Anyway, the voice of approval is very weak.
However, three colleagues with a sense of justice still praised me in person, and maybe there was no one who told me in person.
The new director also talked to me separately about this matter, and he praised me at first, saying a lot of honest and honest official words, but then the topic was a little ambiguous, saying that people are in the officialdom, and the necessary entertainment and gift money are not all bribes, after all, we use the power in our hands to help them complete their hearts, and the hearts of colleagues should be accepted or accepted, otherwise it will be embarrassing to work together and not look up and look down, this time you did the right thing, and it also sounded the alarm for the bureau, but next time you will also save some face for our bureau?
The words of the new director seem to be a compliment to me, but in fact, I also understand the deeper meaning, that is, everyone is in the same boat, and we should cooperate with each other tacitly, and we cannot engage in maverickism, otherwise the future work will not be carried out.
In the end, he euphemistically said that this time he came to put me in charge of the post adjustment reason, when he came to hand over with my old superior, the old superior specifically told him, saying that I am a doer, when he was in office, because I came for a short time, the business is not familiar, did not arrange important positions, this time the new director came without other requirements, just to give me a position adjustment, give me a chance to show my ambitions.
In order to gain a better foothold in the new unit, the new director also agreed to his request, and the new director is not a person who does nothing, and he knows very well in his heart that without the efforts of his competent cadres and subordinates, his work will not be carried out as well.
In fact, the more I went on, the more clearly I saw the essence of this person, and his methods were not unclever and powerful.
Soon after the turmoil, the workload was large, but it was still the same old thing, not working during the day, and signing and stamping on the wine table at night.
I basically don't attend the banquet anymore, I always go home on time, they don't call, go to the office to pull hard, I don't go, I have all kinds of reasons, it can be said that sometimes I feel that I am too faceless, but I still stick to my bottom line.
I quit smoking for this reason, when the bureau held a meeting, everyone took out high-end cigarettes, but I took low-grade cigarettes, and when I handed cigarettes to others, they all said politely: Come, the director smokes me.
On the surface, it is polite and flattering, but in fact it does not look down on my cigarettes. Over time, I felt bored myself, but I was honest in my heart, I spent my own salary to buy cigarettes, and smoked them reasonably, although I thought so, but I still made up my mind to quit, it was not good for my health, and I could gag their mouths.
Later, I realized that I was thinking too simply, quitting smoking is nothing, but my passivity at work really puts me in a dilemma.
Seeing that I was not in the office, the new director began to isolate me and squeeze me out in the bureau, and held meetings to discuss problems and business, and my opinion was that a gust of wind blew through the venue, and afterwards it was arranged according to the intention of the new director, and the work I was in charge of simply did not go through my consent and signature, and directly found a leader to solve it, and I really couldn't get around my affairs and asked me to sign, and I didn't even have the right to ask why I did this.
In less than half a year, I was reassigned to my original position, and I was replaced by the deputy director who had been saddling around the new director like a bug all day long.
I, the deputy director of the dignified Land Bureau, have now become an ornament, I have nothing to do all day at work, except for reading newspapers and drinking tea, I have no one to ask for instructions on work and arrangements, and the mobile phone and landline in the office do not ring several times a day, and I am completely empty.
Father, do you know who I am, am I the one who eats idle and doesn't do anything? Am I the one who sees difficulties and hides from them?
In those days, I was depressed, annoyed, depressed, and I wondered: Is it because I am out of touch with this society? Or am I not adapting to this era? Or are they confused by the money in front of them? Or do they feel that no one can take care of it?
I thought of the days and nights on the front line, and thought of the fallen and wounded comrades-in-arms, wasn't it difficult at that time? A young man in his early twenties, the youngest of our class had just passed his eighteenth birthday, and he said to me: Squad leader, if I am glorious, I have no other requirements, I just want you to go to my house and tell my father, I didn't cry my nose, I didn't have weak legs and couldn't go to the battlefield, I rushed up against the bullets.
Later, he was seriously injured, and I carried him down the mountain, and told me on the way that he was timid and crying since he was a child, and his father always scolded him for being unproductive and cowardly, and now he is no longer afraid of others saying this about him.
Thinking of this little brother who is missing an arm, my mind is really blocked, I can't face the current difficult situation now?
At the beginning, I also thought of reflecting these abnormal phenomena to the higher levels, so that the higher authorities could understand the real situation in the bureau and at the grassroots level.
Just when I was thinking word by word about how to write down the situation truthfully and report it, the three colleagues who had praised me came to me, talked with me a lot, and said a lot of confidant words.
Frustrated, cringe, I put down the report I had written.
This situation continued until the end of the year, when I once again saw people who were sending money and goods in and out of the office building, I was angry, completely angry, I could not tolerate such a miasma and unhealthy atmosphere to spread so unscrupulously. How could leading cadres who have been educated for many years just look at them being corrupt and wantonly trampling on government decrees and laws? I resolutely picked up a pen and wrote it for two days in a row, divided it into three parts, and mailed it out, and my heart was sent away with the report.
I am also ready for their retaliation, is it nothing more than the last battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder? If I don't believe in party discipline and state law, I really can't do anything about them.
The letter was sent, and I was eagerly looking forward to the return of the news, and I have been waiting until now, and it has really been lost.
After the New Year, two of the three colleagues loved fishing, they said that they were also idle and forced to learn to fish, said that fishing can cultivate sentiment, quiet fun, let the troubles go away with the wind, and invited me to join them. I readily agreed.
A month ago, I really couldn't wait, I didn't want to do nothing like this, I didn't want to waste my good time like this, so I sent a report to the superior leader asking for a transfer, asking to be transferred to the Municipal Armed Forces Department or the Reserve Office, I think that can give full play to my residual heat. ”
The second brother-in-law told his grandfather about his affairs in one go, and finally asked his grandfather: "Dad, do you think I am a deserter?"
Grandpa was silent, he didn't understand the officialdom, and he didn't understand the deceitful and deceitful in it, he thought for a while, picked up the wine glass and said: "Dachengzi, I don't understand, and I don't know how to persuade you, but I think you did the right thing! There is an old saying: Don't stretch out your hand, you will be caught if you stretch out your hand! You have worked hard, you have struggled, you have troubled, and you have escaped, but there is one thing you remember, you are an innocent person, an upright leading cadre, don't you want to be transferred now?" Well, then you can wait patiently, during this time, you can come to fish if you want to come fishing, you can drink with your father if you want to drink, and then start over again when you get to a new job!
After saying that, as soon as the two of them clinked glasses, they did it at the same time.
