Leaving Gao Kun's office, Chen Qingdong came to the party and government office again, Feng Yudong was on the phone again, but Yang Fei didn't know where he went.

Chen Qingdong handed a cigarette to several other people in the office, and just after chatting for a few words, Feng Yudong put down the phone and said: "Xiao Chen, your position has not been decided yet, and today is Friday, go back first, and come back to work next Monday." ”

Although Feng Yudong criticized him mercilessly in Wei Hailong's office just now, Chen Qingdong knew that this Feng Yudong was actually a good character with his understanding of Feng Yudong in his previous life, and he actually had to say that in Wei Hailong's office just now.

Besides, even if he goes to the enterprise office, there may not be many opportunities to meet Wei Hailong, the number one in the future, but the opportunity to deal with Feng Yudong, the director of the office, is still indispensable.

Therefore, Chen Qingdong put his unhappiness in his heart, took out two packs of unopened boutique Nanjing from his briefcase, walked to Feng Yudong's desk and put them on the table, and put the two packs of cigarettes into Feng Yudong's half-opened drawer with concealed and agile movements, and said politely: "Director Feng, then I'll come back next Monday, I'll worry about you." ”

I don't know if it was the two packs of high-quality Nanjing that played a role, or Chen Qingdong's calm attitude made him feel that this young man was not bad, and he was not exactly a thorn, Feng Yudong showed a rare smile on his face, and said, "Well, come over next Monday." Although our township is only on Sunday, this time it is a holiday for you. Also, I'll arrange for you to get your files, party member relationship transfers, salaries and other registration procedures. ”

Chen Qingdong thanked Feng Yudong, said goodbye to a few colleagues, and walked out.

After leaving the office, Chen Qingdong had just walked to the government compound when he saw a young man wearing a police station uniform smoking against a big locust tree in the yard, looking sullen.

Chen Qingdong recognized that this young man's name was Xie Xiaowei, an assistant police officer at the police station, and the relationship between the two of them was not bad in the last life, and occasionally they would get together for a drink, and spit out the unhappiness in his heart, speaking of which, Xie Xiaowei was also one of his friends in Shuangshan Town.

The reason why the two of them were able to play together was entirely because the two of them were in similar situations. Although Chen Qingdong is a civil servant, he has not been promoted and has no future, while Xie Xiaowei is only an assistant police officer, and he does not even have an establishment, let alone talk about the future.

Things gather by like, people by groups, and the two of them are frustrated people, and they are both fallen people at the end of the world!

Seeing his friends in the previous life, Chen Qingdong's heart was hot and he walked over head-on.

"Xiaowei!" walked up to Xie Xiaowei, although he knew that it might be a bit presumptuous to call him by his name like this, Chen Qingdong couldn't help but call out.

Xie Xiaowei raised his head and looked at Chen Qingdong, and asked suspiciously, "Are you?"

"Hehe, my name is Chen Qingdong, and I have just been assigned to our town government. Chen Qingdong handed Xie Xiaowei a cigarette as he spoke.

Xie Xiaowei took the cigarette and glanced at it, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Yo, boutique Nanjing! Dude, you just smoked such a good cigarette when you went to work, awesome!"

After listening to Xie Xiaowei's words, Chen Qingdong knew that Xie Xiaowei was still the same Xie Xiaowei who had no city government and spoke straightforwardly, but this made Chen Qingdong feel more cordial.

In front of Xie Xiaowei, Chen Qingdong didn't hide it, and took out the box of Double Happiness that he smoked himself, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it, I came to report on the first day today, Nanjing is used to smoke for others, and I smoke Double Happiness myself." ”

Xie Xiaowei also laughed and said, "Dude, you can really do it, you can think of this method." However, the boutique Nanjing is nearly 20 yuan a pack, which is indeed not something that young people like us can afford. However, you are still much stronger than me, and you also smoke a five-dollar pack of red double happiness, and I usually smoke a two-dollar pack of red plums. ”

Chen Qingdong joked: "Can the people from your police station still not be able to smoke?"

Xie Xiaowei took a deep puff of cigarette, and then said in a self-deprecating tone: "Alas, I am an assistant policeman, I said that I was from the police station, but in fact, it is not counted, I said that it is not, but I work here and receive a salary from here, this job is really ...... It's a good smoke, it's different......"

Seeing Xie Xiaowei's gloomy appearance, Chen Qingdong patted Xie Xiaowei on the shoulder, wanting to say something to comfort him, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt inappropriate, so he had to swallow it, took out two boxes of high-quality Nanjing from his briefcase, stuffed them into Xie Xiaowei's uniform pocket, and said, "Take these two packs of cigarettes to smoke." ”

Xie Xiaowei hurriedly stopped: "This can't be done, how can I ask for your cigarettes?"

"Hehe, take it, I brought one, and there are still a few packs in it, and I can't use it at all. Chen Qingdong insisted on stuffing the cigarette into Xie Xiaowei's pocket, and said, "This cigarette is also a waste to me here, I am used to smoking, and I can't get used to other cigarettes, no matter how good they are." ”

Xie Xiaowei knew that Chen Qingdong was saying kind words, how could there be anyone who was not used to smoking well?

However, Xie Xiaowei is an unruly and cheerful person, and he has been a soldier for two years, and he likes to make friends the most, seeing that Chen Qingdong is so bold, he gave himself two packs of good cigarettes as soon as he made a move, so he no longer shirked, and said: "Okay, buddy, I will keep these two packs of cigarettes, but I will invite you to dinner at noon today, you can't push it." You came to work on the first day today, and I can be regarded as picking you up and washing the dust. ”

Chen Qingdong excused himself again, and when he saw that Xie Xiaowei insisted on giving him a pick-up, he agreed.

After seeing Chen Qingdong's promise, Xie Xiaowei was very happy, raised his wrist to look at the Shanghai brand watch, and said: "It's past ten o'clock, it's still a little early to eat, do you have something to do now? Otherwise, I'll take you out for a walk? ”

Chen Qingdong said: "I don't have anything to do, and I haven't arranged a job yet." But what about you, can you just leave after going to work like this?"

"It's okay, the director and the instructor have all gone to the county for a meeting, and no one cares about us today. Xie Xiaowei said indifferently, "Besides, I'll take you around the town, if there's anything to find me, I'll be back soon." ”

As he spoke, Xie Xiaowei took out a Motorola brand light green pager from his trouser pocket as if offering a treasure, and said, "Look, I have a BP machine, and they will call me if they have something." ”

Chen Qingdong smiled, he knew that this old friend Xie Xiaowei had a shortcoming that he liked to show off, such as his pager and the bright Shanghai brand watch on his wrist, he often deliberately let others look at it. In fact, Chen Qingdong knew that this Shanghai brand watch was an old watch given to him by his father when he was discharged from the army, and it was not worth a few dollars at all. In addition, in the year 2000, when mobile phones were almost universal, there were very few people using pagers.

However, Chen Qingdong did not laugh at Xie Xiaowei, but felt a little sad, because he knew that Xie Xiaowei showing off these things was just from the inferiority complex in his heart, he was a small assistant police officer without an establishment, and his family's economic situation was very difficult, and he couldn't see much hope in life, so he was afraid that others would look down on him, so he would do this.

Chen Qingdong has heard such a saying: the more a person lacks something, the more he likes to show off. This sentence is really insightful!

Chen Qingdong deliberately praised Xie Xiaowei: "This pager looks really good, is it new?"

"Well, it's only been a few months since I bought it, and I happened to run into an event, and I bought a machine to get a year's fee. Actually, I originally wanted to buy a mobile phone, but few of our town government use mobile phones, so I didn't buy it because I thought it was public. Xie Xiaowei said lightly.

"Hehe, let's go out then?" Chen Qingdong said.

"Well, let's go, I'm an indigenous resident here, and I'll be your guide today. Xie Xiaowei said with a smile.

Shuangshan Town every lunar digit is 3, 6, 9 days is the assembly, people from several townships around will come here to catch the market, today is the 13th of August in the lunar calendar, the street is very lively, pedestrians crowd the whole street into a sea of people, even the bicycle can not pass.

Although Xie Xiaowei is only an assistant police officer at the police station, ordinary people can't tell the difference between a police officer and an assistant police officer at all, and Xie Xiaowei was born and raised in Shuangshan Town, and he knows a lot of people, so people on the road greet him one after another.

The two of them took a big turn on the street, more than an hour passed quickly, Chen Qingdong also observed the familiar main street of Shuangshan Town, and couldn't help but sigh, Shuangshan Town is really backward, there are almost no high-grade shops on the whole main street, several shops selling clothes are all cheap clothes of old styles, and many things in the grocery store department of the largest department store in the town are full of dust, and it seems that the flow of goods is really not flattering.

Chen Qingdong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the vast majority of the people in Shuangshan Town are still too poor!

However, this also strengthened his determination to start a business in Shuangshan Town, as the saying goes, if you are poor, you will think about change, as long as you come up with a good idea that can help everyone get rich, then you will definitely be crowded, with the support of the people, then things will be much easier.

At about half past eleven, Xie Xiaowei took Chen Qingdong to a relatively remote restaurant called Shunyuan in the north of the market, and he didn't call anyone else, so the two of them went to a private room on the second floor.

Chen Qingdong knew that Xie Xiaowei didn't have the ability to eat in the restaurant without paying money, he just needed to sign and hang the account on the unit and settle it together at the end of the year, and this meal should be Xie Xiaowei out of his own pocket to pick him up, so in order to save some money, he didn't ask other people to accompany him, and he didn't eat in the restaurants next to the town government, so as not to run into acquaintances.

Chen Qingdong thought to himself, there is no doubt that Xie Xiaowei has a bold personality, that is, his wallet is not hard, and a penny is difficult to defeat a hero, so there is no way, sometimes he can only do such a "sneaky" thing.

Yes, money is really a good thing, and if a man doesn't have money, many things can't be discussed.
