Chapter 1: Frustrated Wishes

Next Chapter

"I'm finally done, I can get off work on time today!" In an office of the Handong Municipal Bureau of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, Jiang Yufan quickly clicked the print button of the document, rubbed his eyes, stretched his waist, and muttered to himself.

"Sister Li, help me listen to the call on duty, I'll give the speech of tomorrow's executive meeting to Zhang Ju. Jiang Yufan quickly sorted out and bound the printout, and said to the middle-aged woman opposite.

"Well, good!" The middle-aged woman slowly looked away from the magazine and glanced at Jiang Yufan.

After Jiang Yufan left the office, the middle-aged woman reading the magazine closed the magazine in her hand, leaned over to the middle-aged woman watching a Korean drama next to her, and began to chat about gossip.

"Hey, I heard it, this time we have just retired a few section-level cadres in the bureau. ”

"Of course, I heard that 2 new deputy section-level cadres will be promoted soon. ”

"There aren't many eligible people in our bureau, who do you think will be able to go this time?" asked the woman watching the Korean drama with a blank face.

"There is a place that must be reserved for Secretary Zhou's nephew, and the remaining one must be Jiang Yufan in our office!"

"Our Yu Fan is a top student of Dongda, he was admitted to our unit after graduating from college at the age of 21, and he has been working hard for 3 years, and the big materials of the unit are basically from his hands, he does things neatly and has super work ability, Director Zhang is very important to him!"

"It seems that this time the position of our office director belongs to him, I heard that the person who is promoted to the deputy section this time can also get a set of self-built houses in the unit! Our handsome little guy Yu Fan is going to be lucky!" The two women chatted, all about this cadre promotion.

Jiang Yufan held the speech materials prepared for the director in his hand and walked towards the director's office, humming a little song as he walked, feeling quite comfortable.

Today is my girlfriend's birthday, and in addition to preparing a candlelight dinner with her, I also prepared a surprise for her. The results of the selection of deputy section cadres will be announced in the afternoon, and the director of the bureau at the wine table the day before yesterday patted his chest and assured himself, and he handed in the application form for the welfare housing last week.

"If you wrap the promotion decision notice and the key to the welfare house as a birthday gift for your girlfriend at night, is this surprise big enough, hehe!" Jiang Yufan thought of this with an excited expression.

Jiang Yufan is from the countryside, his parents are honest farmers, in order to provide for himself to go to college, his father was injured at the construction site, and broke a finger, although he was admitted to GWY after graduation to earn some face for his family, but he is usually busy with work, and he rarely has time to go back to visit them.

"When the house is in hand, I will decorate it immediately, strive to get married by the end of this year, and then take my parents and sister from the countryside over to live for a while and enjoy the blessings!" Jiang Yufan thought psychologically.

Suddenly, Tang Min pushed open the door of the director's office, walked out, and turned his head to see Jiang Yufan standing next to him, slightly surprised, and then regained his composure.

"A poor boy from the countryside dares to snatch the position of office director with my wife, it's really beyond my strength!" Tang Min said with disdain, squinting at Jiang Yufan again, stepping on high heels, and walking past him with his head held high.

"Phew!what the hell!" Jiang Yufan scolded in his heart when he saw Tang Min coming out of the office in disheveled clothes. Tang Min and Jiang Yufan are colleagues in the same office, relying on their uncle to be a leader in the city, and they have just been arranged to the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau for just over a year, and they are still alumni with Jiang Yufan, but Tang Min has a flamboyant personality and has never looked down on Jiang Yufan, a second-generation farmer who came out of the countryside. Tang Min has a bit of a posture, and his work ability is average, and he scratches his head in front of the leader all day long, so he naturally becomes the object that Jiang Yifan looks at unpleasantly.

After sending the materials to the leader, it was time to have lunch when he returned to the office, Jiang Yifan simply made a meal in the canteen of the unit, found a secluded place, and chatted with his girlfriend Xiaowen about the video while eating.

In the video, Xiaowen is slightly powdered, with a small and delicate face, two small dimples are revealed when she smiles, and a pair of round eyes are cute and clear, Xiaowen is known as one of the three golden flowers of Handong Qindu Hospital.

"Xiaowen, tonight is not only your twenty-fifth birthday but also the second anniversary of our acquaintance, you have to celebrate, hehe!" Jiang Yifan looked at Xiaowen in the video and couldn't help but smirk.

"Okay, then you can pick me up after work, look at the stupid way you laughed, what good things happened?" Xiaowen looked at Jiang Yifan, who was smirking, and couldn't wait to rush over and grab his ear.

"Oh, you'll know at night, I'll give you a surprise!" Jiang Yufan said with a mysterious expression.

"Okay, I won't ask, go to work hard, see you in the evening!"

"Love you, see you in the evening! Kiss one, um-hemp!" Hanging up the video, Jiang Yufan returned to the office with a satisfied face.

At half past four in the afternoon, the collective meeting room of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau.

All the employees of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, including Jiang Yufan, are sitting in a precarious position, and the chief is the chief of the bureau, Director Zhang Zhengfa. The afternoon meeting involved the promotion of cadres and the distribution of welfare housing, and everyone paid special attention and attention.

"Comrades, the meeting is now open! There are two main agendas for today's meeting!" said Director Zhang, clearing his throat.

"First of all, I want to announce the list of comrades who have been promoted to deputy section-level cadres this time, after the careful decision of the bureau's leading group, and the opinions of all employees of the unit, it is determined that there are two deputy section-level cadres this time, respectively...."Director Zhang deliberately dragged out his voice, and everyone stared at his face tightly.

"Zhou Haoming, deputy section level, deputy director of the Demolition and Relocation Office! Everyone applauds and congratulates!" Director Zhang looked at Zhou Haoming with a smile and applauded vigorously, but Zhou Haoming had a natural expression, and the others sighed in their hearts, feeling both expected and a little unconvinced, who made the family the nephew of Deputy Secretary Zhou of the Municipal Party Committee!

At this time, Jiang Yufan also felt a little nervous in his heart, although he was the most qualified candidate, the director of the bureau also expressed his position after drinking that day, and hinted several times that he was the candidate for the director of the bureau office, but he didn't know why, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart.

"Director of the Bureau Office, Deputy Section Level, Tang Min! Congratulations to Comrade Tang Min!"

Listening to the director's voice and the dripping applause, Jiang Yufan felt as if he had suddenly been struck by lightning, and his head was dizzy.

"According to the regulations, the two self-built houses of this unit are assigned to Comrade Zhou Haoming and Comrade Tang Min respectively!"

"Come, Xiao Jiang, take down the appointment decision and file it in the office, and send the key to the welfare house by the way. The director shouted to Jiang Yufan next to him.

"Your grandmother's legs, you old bastard yin me!" Jiang Yufan cursed in his heart, and 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart.

Jiang Yufan reluctantly took the appointment notice and the key to the assigned room, holding the key tightly in his right hand, feeling that he was about to pinch the key off.

Jiang Yufan held the key tightly and slowly handed it to Tang Min, and at this time, Tang Min looked proud, pulled the key, and gave Jiang Yufan a contemptuous look.

"It's time, get off work, adjourn!" the director finally announced.

Colleagues walked outside the conference room one after another, leaving Jiang Yufan at the back, listening to all kinds of discussions.

Everyone looked back at Jiang Yufan who was a little depressed from time to time, some patted him on the shoulder to express sympathy, some smiled wryly to express helplessness, and some people who usually had a bad relationship with each other had a mocking expression.

Jiang Yufan can not care about other people's cynicism, but he now feels sorry for his girlfriend Xiaowen, and the surprise of the night that he said was in vain, and this feeling of sudden disappointment made him very painful.

Jiang Yufan rode his little electric donkey and ran towards Qindu Hospital in Handong City as if he had lost his soul. . .
