"The Drifter" 20 - Zhou Liangjun
Zhou Liangjun is a native of Longcheng, but his husband is a foreigner.
Zhou Liangjun first worked in a coal construction company, and you may not have seen a large area of honeycomb coal used as fuel for residents in the 70s and 80s, so you may not understand that the coal construction company is actually a good unit. And it's state-run.
Because of the gradual popularization of natural gas, because of the gradual introduction of rice cookers and electric frying pans into every urban household, and because coal burning is no longer allowed in the city. The degeneration of the coal construction company, or even the collapse of the company, is an irreversible result.
Zhou Liangjun is still carefree, because the foreign husband works in a good unit.
Generally speaking, in a small place, a closed society of acquaintances, if you enter a good unit, you have a lot of resources. This includes exchanging job opportunities and resources with others.
Zhou Liangjun's husband Liu Chen works as an office director in the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Many people think that the Civil Affairs Bureau has any oil and water, what kind of relief supplies for the lonely and widowed elderly, what kind of marriage certificates, divorce certificates, and so on. In fact, the capacity and potential of the civil administration system are greatly underestimated.
For example, the funeral industry belongs to the civil administration. It's a well-known industry that is so lucrative that you can't avoid it and can't bargain. From transportation to cremation, from funeral supplies to ceremonial services, from cemeteries to incense, candles, paper money, firecrackers, flowers. What is not profitable?
For example, the welfare lottery belongs to the civil administration. Yu Yuanming used to like to buy lottery tickets, on the one hand, he hoped that winning a big prize would change his life, and winning a small prize would change his life. Even if you don't win the lottery, it can be regarded as promoting China's civil welfare undertakings! But there have been many welfare lottery scandals across the country, and after someone said a word, Yu Yuanming will never buy lottery tickets again. This sentence goes like this: fictional people who don't get for nothing, fool a group of people who want to get something for nothing, and finally feed a group of people who really don't get for nothing.
Liu Chen is tall, white-skinned, and wears a pair of glasses. The head is three-seven, the suit is double-breasted, and the leather shoes are always shiny, which is directly proportional to the slightest mess on the head. The position of Chief of Staff is very important in any unit, and sometimes even surpasses that of the Deputy Director, who exists in name only. Because this position must be the henchman of the top leader, serving all aspects of the top leader. Naturally, he has mastered all the secrets of the number one. There is a good saying: it is better to do a hundred good things for the leader than to accompany the leader to do a bad thing.
That's the alliance.
And those deputy directors are in competition with the top leader, and the top leader needs to guard against them, and everyone is living in the show at any time. Sometimes they will hold hands and drop a few tears, but they must open their mouths for the next difficult things.
The deputy directors and other colleagues also respect the director of the office.
Because the director of the bureau does not have a secretary, the chief of staff is the chief secretary. All the small things are handled by him, arranged in detail, and reported to the leader. Many times what Liu Chen said about the leader thinks, but in fact he thinks personally. Many times when he goes to the township to face the distribution of disaster relief materials at the grassroots level, the opinions of the bureau party committee are often his personal opinions. To some extent, he became the embodiment of leadership and the spokesman of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Therefore, Liu Chen's importance in the unit is self-evident.
Since you can call the wind and rain in a unit, you can naturally be handy in a circle. His wife didn't have a good unit, and Liu Chen quickly found someone.
Longcheng is such a big place, and soon, the county Chinese herbal medicine company vacated a position, and Zhou Liangjun changed from selling coal to selling medicinal materials.
Of course, the herbs are cleaner than coal, but there is a lot of moisture in them.
Because it is said to be a Chinese herbal medicine company, in fact, finished medicines, medical devices, and pharmacies are all operating.
As a result, at a family gathering, Zhou Liangjun was introduced to Wanjia Life by his cousin. Her cousin's name is He Cheng.
Because of her good popularity, good relationships, and natural performance, she quickly became the company's dazzling star.
At this moment when things were going well, something happened to Liu Chen.
Because the previous leader was suddenly transferred, a new director came.
Before the top leader is transferred or promoted, he will arrange his own hardcore new position. Either walk together, or go out for exercise (gilding), or promote to take over your own class. But the incident happened suddenly, and the number one leader was quickly transferred away before he could make arrangements, and the new director was not familiar to everyone. Liu Chen's fate hangs in the balance in this situation!
The new director is actually an old Jianghu, who used to be the leader of the township. Unlike many officials, he does not talk much in meetings, and he does not talk much after a break.
For example, he criticized some staff members for their lack of ability to work and overcome difficulties. He will say: I think some people are holding the hen and looking at the sky - the sky is horizontal!
Criticizing some people for not working hard, he said: You are just old women peeing - there are a lot of vain.
Even a young staff member got married and called him to give a speech as a guest, which is also in this language style: I think everyone is Turpan today. Drink too much and vomit and prune later!
Within a few days of such a cadre coming to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Liu Chen's work was directly adjusted, from the original office director to a general staff member.
If the specific work is not arranged, even if it is suspended.
Someone commented afterwards, saying that it was too miserable, and it was knocked down all at once.
Other people ridiculed: What is this? Do you know about the Electric Power Bureau? There is a cadre over there who once relied on the leadership and organized many people. Later, the leader went in, although he did not find out any economic problems. But everyone hated him, so the new leader arranged for him to guard the door of the company, and his daily work was to open and close the door, register, and clean the section of the door. If the new leader does not fire him, he will be humiliated so publicly. How's it going?
Her husband's job changed, and Zhou Liangjun's performance in the company also declined, and after several months of struggle, he was still demoted. People are like this, they can't go up or down. When I was promoted, I thought it was because of my own strength, but when I came down, I felt that it was the general environment and luck. There are few downgrades that are still very positive, not only the income has changed, but also the various obvious and invisible, and the spiritual treatment of materials is different, so it is naturally difficult to have a good mood to continue to work hard. So Zhou Liangjun has been restless recently, and Qi Youpeng of Sihai Life Insurance invited her to visit and understand. We have an understanding of the basic law, products, and employment of Sihai Company. To be honest, I was a little excited, but I haven't made a final decision yet.
But on the Wanjia side, there are already some half-heartedness.
That's how strange it is, people. No matter what the temptations out there are, they will always take a toll on you. Even if you don't have a choice in the end, you will still compare it in your heart.
Just like a man and a woman in marriage, in the face of the opposite sex outside of marriage, although there are some obstacles in their hearts, they also feel comfortable. Because everyone needs more recognition and like. Although the other person may not necessarily be better than his spouse, he still enjoys the feeling of being pampered and cared for!
No way, that's human nature!
