The Standing Committee's process was quickly completed, and the senior city officials were about to announce the results of their handling of me, when Wang Yuanchao, executive vice mayor and director of the city public security bureau, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and began to speak at the oval-shaped conference table: "I do not agree with the handling of Liu Dajun! On the contrary, please read the newspapers, and we will vigorously publicize his heroic deeds!"

After the newspaper was delivered, the Standing Committee members discussed one after another, with some saying: "Is the newspaper credible?" while others said: "Could it be that the reports of Deputy District Chief Bing and Deputy Director Leng are wrong?" and some said: "Attracting investment is a political task, and in any case, Liu Dajun must seriously deal with it!" ”

Wang Yuanchao said with a sad and indignant face: "If you insist on dealing with Liu Dajun, I can only take the blame and resign!"

There was a sudden silence in the conference room. No one spoke, not even the sound of breathing stopped.

The deputy mayor of the Standing Committee stood up: "Deputy Wang, what do you mean? Could it be that Liu Dajun is your relative? You are so openly shielding him!"

Wang Yuanchao said calmly: "I don't know him at all. In fact, I heard about him from another source. Of course, I don't mean newspapers. Nor is it the report below. ”

The deputy mayor of the Standing Committee scoffed: "This is strange, haven't you, the chief director, read the report signed by Deputy Director Leng of the District Bureau of your Municipal Public Security Bureau?"

Wang Yuanchao said with a grimace: "This is exactly what I want to know! Why did Deputy District Chief Bing sign and approve the report directly submitted to the city, and Deputy Director Leng directly ordered the arrest of people, has it been investigated?"

Gu Zuo, deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, said to him: "Do you mean that Deputy District Chief Bing and Deputy Director Leng are distorting the facts? Could it be that Liu Dajun didn't injure eight foreign businessmen?"

Wang Yuanchao said slowly: "I don't deny that Liu Dajun did hurt people, but it is not 8 investors, as far as I know, three are natives, and four are bodyguards. Moreover, he himself was injured. ”

The deputy mayor of the Standing Committee smiled mockingly: "Even if there is only one foreign businessman, it will also destroy the investment promotion!"

The voices in the meeting room seconded the meeting louder.

The high-ranking city official pressed his hand and asked: "Comrade Aiding Korea, why are you so excited about this incident of beating up foreign businessmen for no reason? Isn't this your usual style? Is there something else hidden?"

"Leader," Wang Yuanchao cleared his throat, "Why did I say I resigned? Please allow me to take up everyone's precious time to make an explanation!"

After seeing the high-ranking city official make a gesture of invitation, Wang Yuanchao said sadly: "Let's talk about it for personal reasons, it is Wang Chuhan, the only daughter in the family, who has been insulted by foreign businessmen in public! This is the cause of this incident! Regrettably, there is no mention in the report!"

It's a thunderbolt!

Everyone was stunned! If it was really as he said, the director of the public security bureau could not even protect his own daughter, how could ordinary people still have a sense of security?

"As everyone thinks", Wang Yuanchao said sadly and angrily, "Yu Private, as the director of the public security bureau, I can't protect my daughter, I am derelict in my duty!"

After a pause, Wang Yuanchao said even more melancholy: "Yu Gong, my deputy director Leng fabricated facts, submitted a report to the city, and misled the city's decision, and I also have the responsibility for negligence!"

"Finally, I would like to ask the municipal party committee to approve my application for resignation for taking blame! However, as an ordinary citizen and as a father, I would like to solemnly say thank you to Comrade Liu Dajun here! I also implore all of you to let him go!" After speaking, Wang Yuanchao bowed deeply to everyone.

Silence. Everyone fell silent for a moment. How can this be? How can our cadres become disregarding the facts, covering up crimes, and conniving at foreign businessmen for the sake of GDP?

After a long time passed, the senior city official could not hide his calm summing up: "Comrades, this foreign-related incident has sounded the alarm bell for us! As cadres elected by the people, we can only have one starting point, that is, to do everything for the masses!"

"It is undeniable that we need foreign capital, and we need advanced foreign management and technology. However, our cooperation with foreign capital is a win-win situation, and we are all equal in terms of personality and national character! It is true that we can give them a lot of preferential treatment, but we will never allow a small number of foreign businessmen to act arbitrarily and trample on the law! Still less are our cadres allowed to shield and connive at crimes for the sake of their political achievements! Dignity has never been earned by others, it is always earned by ourselves!

He stood up, looked at Vice Mayor Wang, and continued:

"If it had not been for the comrades who aided the DPRK as the parties concerned to explain this situation today, how terrible and absurd would the decision we had made would have been! Not to mention what the press would have thought of it, the spit of the masses alone would have made us unbearable! Well, the great hero in the hearts of the people and the good young man who bravely fought the gangsters was arrested by our people's government, and what is the credibility and prestige of the government? !

Glaring at the deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, he raised his voice with a little reproach and anger:

"I have repeatedly stressed that the procedure is legal, and that it is necessary to put an end to this kind of incident of playing cards out of common sense and reporting at a higher level! How many people in this regard want to investigate it? Many comrades may have signed without even making a phone call? I am very sad and very angry! However, I still hope that everyone will take this as a warning!"

Gazing out the window, the blue sky and the bright sunshine, the senior city official waved his hand and made a decisive decision:

"Finally, I propose: 1. Comrade Wang Yuanchao's resignation application will not be approved, and he will be asked to take this incident as an opportunity to carry out an action to comprehensively manage public order in the whole city; 2. Inform the Municipal Public Security Bureau to re-investigate and restore the truth; 3. Notify the Municipal Foreign Affairs Office, report the truth to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for guidance, detain Kameda for 15 days who insulted women, and then report the incident to the consulate of the island country in this city, and ask them to take good care of their own citizens; 4. The director of the police station who is directly responsible will be removed from his post, and the other person who will be "good" in the newspaper Fifth, Deputy Director Leng was transferred from the public security contingent and demoted, and Deputy District Chief Bing was also recommended to be given a serious punishment. 6. On behalf of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, comrades aiding the DPRK are requested to go to the hospital to express condolences to the injured Comrade Liu Dajun and to announce the city's decision to the media. Let's discuss. ”

My fate was decided so inadvertently.

Leader Wang, executive vice mayor and director of the Public Security Bureau, made a special trip to visit me at the hospital.

As an opportunity, through the efforts of the mayor and the citizens of Tokai City, five years later, the "Magic City" has become the safest city in the world.

I don't want to describe my treatment and praise, but I just know that life is like sailing in the sea, no matter how high you have reached, after the wind and waves disappear, you still have to look at the vast distance on the calm ocean, boringly counting the stars.

After a few days, I was discharged from the hospital, and everything went back to the vicious cycle of submitting resumes online, interviewing, and waiting.

A month later, I was forced to move back to the office of the small tube company on a couch for temporary accommodation. When I ate instant noodles for 7 days in a row (in the years that followed, I felt sick to my stomach when I saw instant noodles), my chance came.

It was a Sino-Mi joint venture component factory in Minhang District, and we were responsible for producing more than 300 kinds of components according to the drawings, and then exporting them to the United States and Europe at a very low price, which was said to be to reduce tariffs, and Huaxia shareholders could only make a little hard-earned money.

The interviewer I was a well-dressed middle-aged woman from the East China Sea, who was the financial manager of the company.

I thought I had the qualification of a certified public accountant, and worked as the financial director of the Bincheng manufacturing industry for a year, and in order to formulate the material quota and working hour quota, I also went deep into the workshops and processes for more than half a year, and the manual account also changed from the most basic current account accounting, to sales accounting, and finally to cost accounting. Although I experienced the ridicule and ridicule (because I was already a financial director and took the initiative to do the work of a small accountant), I finally mastered the practical knowledge of corporate finance that I could not learn in theory and in managing banking.

However, a new test is coming: they use the most high-end ERP (enterprise management software) software, I am not very proficient in computers, and financial software, I have just tested with Xiaoguan for 3 months, and I am not proficient. Now, suddenly letting you use high-end software that all four departments of supply, production, marketing, and finance operate on it at the same time, this is really an overestimation of my IQ.

"We need to recruit a financial supervisor, responsible for the review of the financial software terminal and the daily procurement and warehousing and warehouse management audit, as well as the number of products, semi-finished products and finished products in the industrial workshops, by the way, the most important thing is the month-end manufacturing cost in the product, semi-finished products and finished products apportionment. ”

"Hey, isn't this a cost accountant? I thought to myself.

"Do you think you're up to the task?" asked the middle-aged woman solemnly.

"Believe that there is no problem". I replied because I needed the job so much. The monthly salary is 5,000 yuan, and the lunch at noon also makes me have a strong doubt about the adage that "there is no free lunch in the world".

You know, compared to the salary in Ben City, the buddy has doubled. Although this is still not in line with my value --- a CPA, it seems that I am only worth this price at the moment, right?

"Are you familiar with Excel?" the manager asked suddenly.

"It's okay." My heart is very empty, I remember when I was with my girlfriend in Ben Thanh, because of my poor self-esteem, I refused the invitation to learn excel from her, and now, the retribution of cowardice has come.

"Okay, you position this table at the very beginning and then jump to the end". The manager said calmly.

I clicked on the file, and I dropped a mother, tens of thousands of lines. The manager also hovered the mouse in the middle. Jumping to the beginning with the mouse is afraid of more than 10 seconds, and it is estimated that it will take more than 20 seconds from the beginning to the end.

Faced with such a question, my face turned red.

"With CT

l+home is at the top of the page", the manager skillfully on the keyboard a little, "Ct."

l+e

d is at the end of the page".

"It's still not familiar. I answered honestly.

"Well, I guess you're still skilled in manual cost accounting," the manager comforted me.

"Yes". After I came out of the management bank, my self-esteem had already been hit by two companies, and I had to find a way to make up for a lot of relevant knowledge. It also aroused my courage and blind optimism even more to create difficulties.

"Then you wait for the notice. ”

The manager commanded lightly.

After coming out of the factory, looking at the garden-like factory area and the four-story office building hidden among the tall trees, I felt a little melancholy and lost, maybe I missed it.

In the evening, lying on the sofa in Xiaoguan's office, I was a little worried, if this family was not successful, would I really have to be cheeky and borrow living expenses from my old classmates? Although he repeatedly hinted to me that the money was not enough to spend, I could find him.

That night, my girlfriend called and said that she was coming to Donghai from Ben Cheng in a month, and asked me how I was doing. I thought, God, bless me, don't be embarrassed in front of your girlfriend.

One night's heart, one leaf and one autumn.

The next day, September 11, 2001, early in the morning, I received a call from the joint venture factory, and after a two-hour subway and bus ride, I finally arrived.

The re-examination was also very simple, the factory manager and the financial manager talked to me separately, saying that they really needed a financial supervisor urgently, and although I was not skilled enough, I believed in my learning ability.

Later, I learned that the previous financial director often worked overtime because the salary was too low, with a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan. The financial manager has a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, and he doesn't work, and he makes small reports all day long, which makes the middle-aged man who is honest and not to say, and he has to thank the manager for saying good things so that he can stay, and several salary adjustments have been delayed by the manager saying that the supervisor is very satisfied with the current monthly salary. Therefore, he jumped to another German joint venture processing company in a fit of anger with a monthly salary of 15,000 yuan.

In the days of handover, I hurried to learn from him, squeezed a little money out of my already modest wallet, and invited him to drink at night. After drinking too much, he said to me inarticulately: "Brother, let's have a good heart, there are bad people in foreign-funded enterprises, they help foreigners to squeeze their compatriots, foreigners have nothing to do and steal fun, OK, you have to make your own people! It's none of my business." ”

I silently poured him a drink, and without interjecting, he burped and said:

"We're okay and get off work at 11 p.m. every night. My classmate is in a joint venture, and the boss is an island native who likes to play Go online at night, and our executives strictly require all national employees to wait for the boss to leave after work. The boss lives in the factory dormitory, just a few steps away. Several times, he had so much fun that he lost track of time, pitiful! Everyone didn't get home until 2 o'clock in the morning, and Lu Yuan had to get up again at 6 o'clock the next day.

I felt the heat of the wine and the enthusiasm of the wind, and toasted him again.

"You are like me, you work overtime for more than 20 days a month, and according to the law and the foreigner system, you have to pay overtime wages, but you are forced to be pressed down by the old witch of the manager!" Director Sun said angrily, "She also made a trick to ask the human resources department to destroy the employees' daily punch cards, and all those who work overtime." In this way, some people still secretly kept the punch sheet, and when they left, they asked the labor and social security department for an explanation, and in the end, the factory made up a large amount of money. ”

"Then will you ask for unpaid wages?" I was also a little frightened at the thought that I would have to face such a boss in the future.

"Forget it, let's eat a trench and grow wise. Director Sun said with red eyes, his words full of infinite longing for his new job.

"You only get 5,000 yuan as a certified public accountant, which is less than me, it's not worth it. Director Sun said with emotion.

"Hey, it's a time and a moment. "I said in my heart that a person has to solve the problem of survival first, and besides, I have to work hard to improve my own computer and tax law. "Thank you for the reminder, I'll take note. ”

At noon that day, I returned to the small tube company and was surprised to hear about the "terrorist attack" incident that occurred in the United States, at that time, looking at the scrolling pictures on TV, watching the collision of two planes, looking at the two buildings with billowing smoke, and looking at the people jumping down dozens of high-rise buildings, I sighed in my heart the fragility of life, which is all fresh life!

Zhang Rou also quietly cried on the side, perhaps, only women are really boundless love.

What about being as rich as a country? There are some indescribable thoughts in my heart.

But life has to go on.

On the weekend, I borrowed 6,000 yuan from Xiaoguan and my own 1,000 yuan, and rented a small two-bedroom old house in the Gumei community, 50 minutes away from the factory.

This is an old room, an old sofa, an old bed, an old electrical appliance, an old curtain, think about the divorced me, it's also an old thing, right?

The neighborhood is old, but close to a small river. The neighborhood is lined with greenery, some exercise equipment, and there are rows of chairs near the river, which is also a good place to cool off in the evening.

A month passed quickly, and I finally learned the cruelty of life.

In the first three weeks, I was curious about new things, and I often volunteered to work overtime, while quickly learning the operation of ERP, while learning excel by myself, coupled with a deep theoretical foundation, and more than a year of experience in more complex large-scale machinery manufacturing, so I quickly became handy.

As time passed, from the fourth week onwards, I was able to fully complete my work tasks before I left work. A few children in the finance department were also surprised by my rapid progress, because the manager told them that my level was very average, and it was estimated that if I was not satisfied with the 3-month probationary period, I would have to get out.

However, I also found a very strange scene: after work, no one left, they all worked overtime in their respective positions, people who had nothing to do, looking around, pretending to be busy on the computer, if you quietly walked behind him, you would find that he typed all nonsense such as "I am a man (woman)", just like there is a lyric that sings "Daddy is Daddy Lai Niang".

The manager leaves work at 9 o'clock every night, but he asks me to lead the rest of the finance department to leave work at 11 o'clock. For the sake of my distant relative, RMB, for the first month, I endured it.

However, human energy is limited, and working 14 hours a day, six days a week, made me groggy every day from the beginning of the second month.

The worst thing is: the manager's spoken English is not good, every time I meet the phone call of the United States headquarters, I am asked to answer, and I am also a second knife, many times "I beg you."

(Say it again)", we're all tired, just send an email. That's my forte, and it's all right for me!
