Chapter 1: Slash Youth
Liu Yuanjie is 28 years old and works in the e-commerce department of the state-owned enterprise Hongyuan Group. The second elder in the family, relatives and friends are all very satisfied with this stable job, except for Liu Yuanjie himself.
He was not willing to be a frog in warm water. Liu Yuanjie's dream is to be a "slash youth" and become a writer. Writing is what interests him, and he's been working for it for years.
In the business unit of Hongyuan Group, he is mainly responsible for e-commerce operations and back-office maintenance. Hongyuan Group was born out of the old state-owned factory, the products produced are as outdated as the concept of leadership, and the whole enterprise is like a giant beast, with a huge physique, but slow to move and slow to react. The e-commerce of several types of products operated by the business department is not smooth, so the e-commerce department is not very busy.
This is exactly the environment that Liu Yuanjie expects, and after completing the trivial tasks assigned by the leader step by step every day, he can fish and write in the office with peace of mind.
Liu Yuanjie's experience is that only when he is in the state of touching the fish can the writing go smoothly. If he was really given a long vacation, he would not write well. Maybe all writers are like this, for example, there is a science fiction writer who fished and wrote in a power plant and won a Hugo Award. There are writers who fish and write in bars and make a successful debut.
Failure is the mother of success, and fishing is the father of writing. These predecessors are his life models and career idols.
Therefore, typing on the keyboard in a well-lit, comfortable, quiet and harmonious office is simply the happiest time in Liu Yuanjie's life.
However, the good time was soon interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Oh, Xiao Liu, are you still busy?" pushed the door in was Xie Yuanchao, director of the office of the business department. The office is the heart of the entire department, closest to the leader and the most well-informed.
Before Director Xie came to his station, Liu Yuanjie skillfully cut the screen, and the report of "Cohesion and Efforts for Development, Striving for First-class and Pioneer--E-commerce Section's Work Summary for the First Half of the Year and Work Plan for the Second Half of the Year" immediately appeared on the screen.
"Yes, there are not many dedicated young people like you in our department, and the group will rely on you to take the lead in the future. Alas, we are all old and can't do it anymore. "Xie Yuanchao has been in Hongyuan Group since he joined the work. At that time, it was still called Hongyuan Juice Factory. For more than 30 years, he has worked from a worker on the assembly line to the director of the office, and he has a great affection for the group and a sense of ownership. In the face of the declining situation of Hongyuan Group, it always shows a strong sense of distress.
"How can it be, Director Xie is in the prime of his youth, he is the mainstay of our group, and I have to study hard behind you. Liu Yuanjie immediately stood up, pulled out a chair, asked Director Xie to sit down, and then skillfully took the teacup that Director Xie had always held in his hand, twisted the lid, and poured tea and water.
The whole process is smooth, respectful with sincerity, and enthusiasm with joy.
The first rule of fishing is to create harmonious interpersonal relationships. Entering Hongyuan Group, Liu Yuanjie's sycophant kung fu in recent years has not reached the peak, but it has also been perfected.
Director Xie glanced at Liu Yuanjie's screen, and then looked at the young man busy before and after, nodded with satisfaction, and said slowly: "The world is ours and yours, but it is yours after all." We have not recruited any more young people in the past few years, and the cadre team is not in good shape. However, the leaders still attach great importance to the training of young cadres. The leadership meeting has already decided to send an outstanding cadre to the grassroots level for training. Xiao Liu, this is a good opportunity, you have to take advantage of it. Vast world, great achievements. ”
Liu Yuanjie chuckled in his heart, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"You know, our group has a small factory in DN County, which is about to go out of business. The leader means to hand over the factory to you young people and let you try your hand. As he spoke, Director Xie glanced at Liu Yuanjie and took a sip of Tieguanyin in the teacup.
Liu Yuanjie hurriedly took out a box of unopened soft China from the drawer, took out one, lit it for Director Xie, and put the cigarette in Director Xie's hand.
"I guess the leader wants to give you a chance to exercise, after all, in the headquarters, there are too many constraints, which is not conducive to your development. It's also an opportunity for that small factory. When you have grassroots experience, you will still have the experience of being a leader. Back at the group headquarters, it's different. Director Xie glanced at Liu Yuanjie meaningfully.
"Director Xie, I don't know who the leader plans to send?" asked Liu Yuanjie anxiously.
Director Xie smiled and shook his head, "Look at your urgency, this matter has not yet been decided." Not many people know either. You have to think of a way to fight for it, the opportunity is rare. This thing is done, and promotion and reuse are indispensable. Maybe, in a few years, I'll have to get paid from you. After speaking, he stood up, naturally put the cigarette in his pocket, patted Liu Yuanjie on the shoulder, held the teacup, and left the office.
This may be an opportunity for others, but it is definitely not for Liu Yuanjie. Others want to rise step by step, but he is a slash young man who just wants to fish and write.
The small factory in the county is still the number one, not to mention the poor conditions, what will happen to his writing career when he is busy? And how tiring is being the number one? He has to worry about everything and be responsible for everything. In the past few years, how many top leaders have been killed in the fight against corruption and clean government? If you don't know how expensive tea and rice are, others only see the glamour of the top leaders, and they don't know the bitterness and sadness behind the people.
What should I do? Am I still inevitably in the field of vision of the leader? I am noticed by the leader? No way, I hide it well.
The second rule of the fishing rule is not to be noticed by the leader, not too bad, but not too good, the so-called golden mean is what it means.
Liu Yuanjie reflected on his recent performance, which can be said to be decent, without any flash. How did it get discovered by the leadership?
All morning, Liu Yuanjie has been in a daze. He has visited several factories under the name of Hongyuan, and knows how busy the factories are, and the things are so complicated that they are frightening. Some factory directors are actually only in their 40s, but they have a small gray hair volume and a regressing hairline, which makes people suspect that they should retire tomorrow.
I can't go, don't let me go, I don't want to be promoted and reused, I just want to write with peace of mind and live a carefree life.
Liu Yuanjie rarely didn't take a nap, and he sat in the office and couldn't give up.
In the afternoon, the bad news came, and Director Xie called him to inform him to go to the office of Mr. Guo, the head of the Ministry of Business, for a meeting.
"Dress up energetically and make a good impression on Mr. Guo. Director Xie said on the phone.
Putting down the phone, Liu Yuanjie thought about it, bit it, and decided to violate the law of fishing once and take a risk.
He took off his white shirt, trousers, and leather shoes, changed into a T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, ruffled his hair in front of the mirror, and walked out of the office empty-handed.
