On the morning of 22 February, five medium-sized buses of the Anping County Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Company in northern Shanxi Province drove into the courtyard and stopped.

As an enterprise that can come out of Anping County, northern Shanxi Province, the county agriculture and animal husbandry company has no shortage of visitors and inspectors, and the company has been accustomed to it. But today, the company has paid special attention to it, not only hanging out the welcome banner again, but also playing a red welcome font on the LED screen. That's not all, the factory leaders all dressed up to greet them, and the city and county leaders also joined the welcome team.

The reason why it is so important is because the person who is greeted is special. The hundreds of people who are here today are all students of the "Department and Department-level Cadres Seminar" of the Central Party School, and these students are now important leaders in their regions and are also key cadres trained by the party organization, and their future is limitless. In a few years, there will definitely be ministerial leaders or even bigger figures among them. Contact now is to invest in the future, and the investment cost is much smaller now, and today's warm reception may become a stepping stone to contact with the big people of the future. Even if the future is still a little far away, the gimmick of "Central Party School Student Investigation and Research Company" is also a powerful invisible advertisement.

City and county leaders and business leaders were already standing outside the car, and as soon as the car door opened, they stepped forward to shake hands. Of course, when shaking hands, it is still necessary to show the rank of the person, but only the person under the car follows this convention. The people who got out of the car were all navy blue jackets, white shirts inside, navy blue suit trousers on their legs, black lace-up leather shoes, and only their names and class names were on their badges, and their work units and positions were not marked, and Chu Tianqi was one of them.

After getting off the bus for a brief greeting, no immediate visit was arranged, but people were asked to meet here in 15 minutes. It's not bureaucratic, and it doesn't mean anything in particular, it's just giving everyone a time to go to the bathroom. These students came from another place after breakfast, drank gruel or soy milk in the morning, and did not stop for more than two hours on the road. How can you not make it easier for everyone now?

Chu Tianqi, like everyone else, joined the toilet army. Fortunately, there are plenty of places and men are fast, and when it is finished, there are still ten minutes before the deadline.

At this moment, Chu Tianqi's mobile phone rang. He hurried to a relatively secluded place and answered the phone.

Li Ziteng's voice immediately came from the mobile phone: "Mayor, Director Zhao of the Organization Department has just arrived, and those two positions have been confirmed." The deputy secretary is the director of the Office of the Organization Department of the former Dingye Municipal Party Committee, and the director of the propaganda department is concurrently served by Director Yan. ”

Chu Tianqi let out an "oh": "I know." Anything else?"

Li Ziteng replied: "No." ”

"Okay, I'll hang up first. After speaking, Chu Tianqi pressed the red hang-up button and put away his mobile phone.

Sighing and shaking his head gently, Chu Tianqi secretly said in his heart: Don't think about it, deputy secretary.

On the evening of the 19th, Chu Tianqi received calls from Jiang Xia, Wei Tongsuo, and Li Aijia respectively. Jiang Xia is the secretary of the municipal party committee, Wei Tongsuo is instigating and co-opting, and Li Aijia is sending news to warn. Several news gathered together, Chu Tianqi had a difficult choice, was in a dilemma, and was confused. That night, he thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a plan to get the best of both worlds, so he had to come up with an inconvenient solution.

From the second day, another part of the life of the party school began - investigation and research.

Although a relatively passive defensive strategy was adopted, when he arrived at the first stop of the investigation, Chu Tianqi still took advantage of the time gap to call Li Ziteng and ask the other party to pay attention to the position of deputy secretary. Judging from the current situation, if you can get the deputy position that is being paid, it is also a relatively ideal result. But Li Ziteng's call just now shattered Chu Tianqi's idea.

Raising his hand to look at his watch, it was only four or five minutes before the concentration time, and Chu Tianqi looked up at the concentration location.

"Ding Bang Bang", the phone rings again.

Chu Tianqi couldn't help frowning, but still took out his mobile phone. Seeing the number above, he quickly pressed the answer button: "Lijian, what's the matter?" ”

There was a slight silence on the phone, and a sharp sword voice came out: "Aijia sent me a text message just now, saying that the organization department is about to hold a meeting to study whether you are suitable for on-the-job study." She's also gone to the conference, so let me relay the news to you. ”

"I see. After Chu Tianqi finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Don't let me take a job to study, but I'm about to graduate, can I still be allowed to sit and get paid? Is there such a good thing? Leave it to fate, a negative thought flashed, and Chu Tianqi walked towards the designated concentration place.

"You can't leave it to fate. Suddenly, a voice rang out.

Chu Tianqi was very puzzled, and when he looked around, he didn't find anyone saying such things. After a moment's recollection, he realized that the voice was in his head, but it was clearly not his own. Who could that be?

"It's concentrated. A greeting rang out not far away.

Without having time to think about the voice in his head, Chu Tianqi walked quickly to the concentration location.

……

Yanyun City, the capital of Hexi Province.

In an ancient servant's tea room, there sat a girl, the girl was handsome, but there was a deep melancholy between the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. The beauty is slender enough, but it is not a healthy sense of bones, but a slightly sickly emaciation, and her sunken eye sockets are the best note. Against the backdrop of the long white dress, his face looked even less bloody.

There was only one girl in the room, but there were three teacups on the table, and all three were empty. Although her lips were dry, she did not pour the tea, but looked in the direction of the door, in a deep daze. She was waiting for the two of them, waiting for the news that the two of them brought back.

The girl in the white dress had been waiting here for three hours, just like that, but she didn't think it was long, because she had actually been waiting for more than four years.

More than four years ago, the girl was still working in the countryside, and it was there that she met her true love and had plans to talk about marriage.

In October of that year, the girl took the boy to her house, ready for her father to marry her future son-in-law. By accident, the boy slipped away halfway, so that she was not angry, but she was not really angry, but she thought he was cute.

When the father returned, the boy had not returned. After eating the "instant noodle dinner", the girl mentioned the matter with the boy to her father, who left the phrase "let me think" and went upstairs with heavy steps. More than two hours later, with the rumbling thunder and the sound of the rain, my father gave the answer: he firmly disagreed. At that moment, the girl's heart fell to the bottom, and she didn't understand how her father could be so snobbish and not take into account her feelings. She was sad, she cried, but in exchange for her father's silent waiting outside, her father never let go.

After a few days, my father gave an answer: I don't agree with you being together because you two have a bad surname, and you can't grow old together.

What kind of logic is this, that a dignified party cadre would believe this? She felt that her father must be lying to herself, using this reason to cover up his true thoughts, and to fool himself. So she took the opportunity of her father's departure to go to the most famous monastery in the provincial capital to find the old abbot to measure the characters. And after providing the birth dates of himself and the boy, he got the same hexagram as the lottery - fishing for the moon under the water.

The father threatened the boy's future, and now that there is such a hexagram, what else can the girl say. can only silently bless the boy in his heart, and make a vow of "if you don't marry, I won't marry".

For four years, I have survived day by day, and the only belief that supports the girl is that the boy has never started a family. Although no one told her the truth, and she couldn't contact the boy, she knew that the boy was waiting for her.

Just last week, by chance, the girl discovered that her father had known the abbot. This discovery made the girl realize a problem: the old abbot was likely to do the proposition essay according to her father's request.

The girl decided to let someone else take the same birth date and then go to the abbot to measure the characters.

The people I was looking for had already gone several times, but they all caught up with the abbot's abbot's absence, and I wonder what will happen today?

At this moment, the door of the house rang, and two figures appeared at the door, also two girls, one in red and one in green.

The mood that was calm just now suddenly fluctuated, and the girl only felt that her palms were sweaty, her throat was tight, and she couldn't say the words when she came to her mouth.

"Sister Qi, we're back. The girl in red spoke, and walked to the girl in the white dress suspiciously.

"Sister Qi, what's wrong with you?" the girl in green also spoke.

The girl in the white dress spit out three words with difficulty: "How is it?"

The girl in red smiled mysteriously: "Guess." ”

"You say. The girl in the white dress had a trilling voice.

"You see, Sister Qi is in a hurry. The girl in green said, taking out a small tape recorder from her satchel, "Sister Qi, listen to this." ”

The girl in white raised her head and stared at each other for a moment before holding the small tape recorder in both hands and gently placing it on the table. Then with a trembling right hand, he pressed the "play button".

Suddenly, a deep and calm voice came out: "Donor, judging from the eight characters of your birthday, ......"

Listening to that familiar voice, but very different content, the girl in the white dress cried. At first, he sobbed softly, and then he cried loudly, as if he wanted to vent all the pain in his heart through tears.

The girl in red and green panicked, and the girl in red said "what's wrong, what's wrong" from time to time.

The girl in green comforted and asked, "Sister Qi, what's wrong with you? Don't cry, don't cry." Are we doing something wrong?"

"Woo woo woo ......" The girl in the white dress raised her pear blossom and rainy face, shook her head gently, and cried stubbornly, "I can't resign myself to fate, I can't, I can't." ”

"Sister Qi, is this related to you, why are you so sad?" the girl in green continued to ask.

"I'm happy, happy, thank you, thank you. The girl in the white dress said this and took out her phone from her handbag.

Calming down, the girl dialed a number.

After several ringback tones, a voice came from the phone: "Qiqi, I'm about to have a meeting, I'll talk about it later." ”

"Dad, you'll come back. The girl bit her lip and tried not to make a sobbing sound.

"What's the matter, I have a lot more to do. The other party was puzzled, "What happened?"

"You have to come back. The girl finally couldn't take it anymore and cried, "I must come back." ”
