Qi Tianxiang withdrew his gaze from the window to the hall, his slightly narrowed eyes were as cold as ice, and beckoned to Xiao Zhang, who was sitting on a bench in the distance, and when Xiao Zhang approached, he said in a low but undoubted voice: "Inform all the cadres above the deputy section level in this building to gather in the service hall within ten minutes, and if they don't arrive, they will report directly to the employment center tomorrow." [Ran^Text^Library] []”

Seeing Xiao Zhang walk aside to make a phone call, Qi Tianxiang turned his face back and said softly to the middle-aged woman in front of him, "You sit patiently on the stool first, and someone will come to solve your problem." As he spoke, Qi Tianxiang casually picked up the round stool he was sitting on, gently placed it behind her, and continued to ask gently, "Do you believe me?" ”

After a short hesitation, the middle-aged woman nodded heavily, and she couldn't accept the rapid change, and she didn't know what was going on, but she just felt that someone could ask her about it, and she said with gratitude: "Believe, believe." ”

"Just because you believe doesn't mean others believe too." Qi Tianxiang smiled, trying to express his intentions in a gentle tone, then turned his face and said coldly to the woman at the counter: "I don't ask you what your name is, but I can tell you who I am?" My name is Qi Tianxiang, I am a member of the Standing Committee of the Hehai Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Hezhou Municipal Party Committee. It seemed that the unhappiness of the interrogation just now was still in his ears, and although Qi Tianxiang's tone was low and peaceful, it was still full of anger and resentment.

"Secretary Qi, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you. I'll do it for her, right away. After a moment of stunnedness, the indifference and contempt on the young face of the counter disappeared, but turned into a miserable white after fright, and embarrassing remorse, and hurriedly apologized and spoke.

"You are no longer qualified to do business for this eldest sister, as for why you know very well." Qi Tianxiang glanced at her coldly, turned his back to the counter, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and set his eyes on the door.

The hall immediately became noisy, and many people didn't know what was going on here, although there was a contest of words in the dispute just now, but in the hall where people came and went, it was not very attention-grabbing, and it was even difficult for onlookers to watch.

"Secretary Qi, hello! You are welcome to visit our center. An oily chubby face was full of smiles, and he quickly approached Qi Tianxiang, stretched out his hand far away, and did not forget to introduce himself, "I am Hong Quanshui, the director of the center, welcome secretary!" ”

Qi Tianxiang didn't look at the hand that came over, but raised his hand and pointed to the side, and glanced at his watch again, five minutes had passed since he looked at the watch just now. Qi Tianxiang didn't speak, still looking at the door, looking at it coldly. His thoughts returned to just now, and everything that happened was vivid, and it stabbed his heart clearly.

At the end of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee held in the Nanjiao Hotel, the time had reached more than three o'clock in the afternoon, on the way back to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Qi Tianxiang suddenly said to the driver Xiao Wang: "Don't go back to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, let's go to the Hezhou City Social Security Service Hall to see." ”

"Is Secretary Qi going to do something? Xiao Wang and I can do it, let's send you back to the office! On such a hot day, you also have a day of meetings, and you will not be able to stand it. Xiao Zhang turned his face and persuaded.

"What else can I do for you and Xiao Wang, but do those laid-off and unemployed people have anyone to do it for them? How difficult it must be in such weather! Qi Tianxiang was slightly unhappy, but he changed his tone at random, and said with a sigh: "Let's go and have a look!" ”

Xiao Zhang immediately felt that his words were a little reckless, which made Qi Tianxiang unhappy, and he wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, he dispelled his thoughts.

When he got to the center, Qi Tianxiang asked Xiao Wang to stop the car, he didn't want to be too public, he just looked at it casually, and he didn't want to make a big fuss and make a big splash.

The car door opened, and immediately a stream of heat rushed in, intertwined with the cold air in the car, Qi Tianxiang quickly got out of the car, and was soon wrapped in the heat wave, the stagnant air seemed to have been dried by the scorching sun, dry and hot, and even gasping seemed to be a little difficult.

Not far away, Qi Tianxiang felt anxious and bored, walked into the service hall quickly, and immediately felt a little lighter, but he still felt depressed. The slight coolness in the hall made the faint brain gradually calm down, and it also slowly calmed down.

There were a lot of people in the service hall, people came and went, and it was a little noisy, Qi Tianxiang couldn't help frowning slightly, turned around and wanted to say something to Xiao Zhang, who was following closely, but didn't bother to speak, just pointed to the bench in the distance, and motioned for him to sit there and wait.

Watching Xiao Zhang turn around and walk to the bench, Qi Tianxiang's gaze returned to the noisy flow of people in the hall. After a moment of observation, I gradually got used to the atmosphere of the hall and understood the location of the noisy hall.

The large service hall, near the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, has two rows of benches connected together, but few people sit to rest, but as soon as they enter, they run to the two counters for making orders and paying fees. The long open counter separates the office from the office, and the staff quietly waits for the masses in the more than a dozen counters with signs, while a lot of people gather outside the counter, forming a different scene inside and outside.

Qi Tianxiang stood silently in place and watched for a long time, then slowly approached the counter where the order was made, and many people were crowded here, forming a crowded crowd, followed by a long queue, waiting anxiously. The staff inside looked at the ID cards handed over slowly, operated the computer, found out the relevant corresponding information or records, printed the documents, turned a blind eye to the crowd waiting outside, stopped the work in their hands from time to time, focused on the mobile phone, and from time to time took the thick stack of documents handed over from the counter, concentrated on the information, and printed the payment documents.

Qi Tianxiang immediately understood the origin of the commotion and dissatisfaction that sounded from time to time, and also understood the reason for the people who were cruising at the door of the hall to solicit business. As soon as I entered the door just now, someone stopped and asked if I needed to pay the fee, a one-time fee of fifty yuan, Qi Tianxiang ignored it, and now I understood the intention of the so-called charge d'affaires, and I couldn't help but have a fire rising in my heart.

After reading the document making process, I walked slowly to the payment counter, where there was still a group of people in front of the counter, and a long queue waiting behind me. The difference is that cash and credit cards are handled separately, and after paying the fee, you can wait next to the bill to receive it, and all this is done to complete all the pension payment process. This process may be repeated once every six months, three months, or even a month. Qi Tianxiang made a simple estimate, it would take more than an hour to line up twice, which was a normal time consumption.

Qi Tianxiang felt panicked in his heart, not knowing how to look at the difference between here and outside, and not knowing how to accept such a fact. Sometimes I feel that I am very powerless, and the appearance of such a contrasting phenomenon seems that everyone can feel unreasonable and incredible, but it exists day after day, and gradually becomes reasonable, and even feels like it should be.

Leaving the crowd at the payment counter, Qi Tianxiang casually found a round stool by the counter and sat down, in fact, compared to the crowding of the two counters for document making and payment, most of the more than a dozen counters were sparsely populated, even if someone consulted or did something, they were quickly completed and left, so it seemed deserted. The staff inside also looked at the computer, coming and going from time to time, as if this was the only way to pass the boring time.

"I've been here a few times, you always say that my procedures are not complete, in the afternoon I came to say let me take the payment**, I went back to get it, and you asked me to go to the bank to make a list of statements, but I went, people said that this kind of list is only for the public, not for individuals, what do you say I should do?" The words of a counter not far away clearly reached Qi Tianxiang's ears and also attracted his attention. I couldn't help but pull the stool a little closer.

"I can't help it, I can know what to do about your own business." A young and beautiful staff member at the counter didn't even glance at the people outside, his eyes were fixed on the computer screen, and he said nonchalantly.

"Then what do you say I should do, can you please write down the materials I need to prepare, and I will go back and prepare." A middle-aged woman said anxiously, her face was also anxious and confused, maybe it was running back and forth, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and the dark blue short-sleeved back was wet with sweat, and there were white moire lines on the edge of the wet back, which could be imagined as sweat stains left after drying. At that moment, Qi Tianxiang's heart softened, thinking of his sister's back as a child, and remembering the sweat-stained flower shirt.

"Find it yourself." The pretty young face still didn't move away from the computer screen, but took out a thick book-like thing from under the counter and threw it on the counter.

"This, I don't know how to find this." The middle-aged woman was even more anxious, and said in a sincere tone: "Can you please help me find it, I don't know this, how can I find it!" ”

"What should I do with your own business?" The young face finally turned around, but it was a disdainful ridicule, looking at what the middle-aged woman was still going to say, waving her hand to stop it, and taking out her mobile phone to answer the sound, her voice was soft and gentle.

"Eldest sister, what's wrong with you." Qi Tianxiang took out a handkerchief from his pocket, handed it to the middle-aged woman, motioned her to wipe the sweat beads on her forehead, and asked as gently as she could.

The middle-aged woman looked at Qi Tianxiang vigilantly, saw the handkerchief paper handed by Qi Tianxiang, and after understanding his kindness, she said guiltily: "It's all my fault, I'm not old and confused." A few days ago, I came to pay the pension for the first half of the year, and I found that the pension for the second half of last year was not paid, which was more than 3,000 yuan! I can't ask what the reason is, and then I hurried home, and I found out that the name was wrong, but I couldn't solve it after a few times, saying that I accidentally made a mistake myself, and I wanted to ** and the payment bill, and the unit issued a certificate, but I was already laid off, and the unit was long gone, where to open the certificate! The bank also didn't give me a list of running waters, saying that it was not a personal service, I had run a few times, and now I work for a private boss, and I always ask for leave, and the boss is not happy. As he spoke, he said aggrievedly with a crying voice: "It's all my fault for being careless, it's all about my carelessness, why don't I take a serious look?" What can I do? ”
