On the afternoon of the third day, Bai Lingyan got off work early and came to the residence of Wu Xiaojun of the Supply and Marketing Cooperatives with joy, staring at him with a smile on her face that she couldn't hide her excitement.

Wu Xiaojun gently put down the kitchen knife in his hand, and asked with a smile, "What's the good thing that makes you so happy, let's hear it." ”

Bai Lingyan said happily, "When you encounter two good things in one day, it's hard to be unhappy." ”

"What's good?"

"The first thing is that the salary has been paid, which is a full 200 yuan more than last month. The second one was when my cousin called. ”

Wu Xiaojun was nervous for a while, and asked eagerly, "What did she say?" ”

"The matter between you and Jianmin is done, let the two of you go to the District Health Bureau tomorrow morning to get your seal."

"Really!"

"Absolutely."

"Great, this news is like a stimulant shot in the air, and I won't be hungry if I don't eat tonight. You are my auspicious baby! As he spoke, he kissed Bai Lingyan on the face.

"Alright, don't sell your mouth. Hurry up and cook! ”

"You lie in bed and rest, and you'll be fine soon."

Wu Xiaojun was full of smiles, and it didn't take much effort to fry the dishes, boil two bowls of porridge, and then went outside the door to buy a few steamed buns.

Bai Lingyan looked at the steamed vegetable soup in front of her, and said with a smile, "Xiaojun, you can eat ready-made hot meals without having to run the canteen three times a day, it feels good, how good it will be every day in the future." ”

"Come on, if I am an otaku at home every day, I will stay at home with nothing to do and let you raise it. Not only will you nag me to death, but I can't stand it, the boredom of the past two days has almost suffocated me, and it is not interesting at all. ”

"Before you go to work, cook me a few days. When you officially go to work, you can't go home early and return late, and you can't do it if you want to, and it's not that I'm waiting for you by the stove to cook and eat. ”

"You're optimistic, but I don't know how long the little life of the two-person world will last."

"Don't say anything discouraged. You and Jianmin have been running for so long, and the director has not spit. As soon as you went to his house, you agreed so quickly, and the gift was worth it. ”

"There's nothing worth it, fortunately it didn't freeze me and Jianmin. Jianmin has already gone to Beijing to borrow money, and after dinner, he will paging Xiang Meili and ask him to go to the Health Bureau tomorrow with Jianmin's agreement. ”

"It's really difficult for Jianmin, you have to go to Beijing to borrow money, and Xiang Meili won't help him."

"He, Xiang Meimei, like the two of us, have not been recognized by their families, and are still secretly in an underground relationship. It is impossible for Xiang Meili to take out a sum of money from his family for him to have a relationship. I have already considered it before I came here this time, your salary can give me a place to stand, just don't go hungry, running the formalities to do something for adults is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket, so I borrowed 5,000 from Wang Suzhen in Xiangzhou in advance, which is almost enough to cope with it for a while. ”

"Take one step at a time, it's not enough, let's find a way to borrow from others, don't worry about not being able to do things."

Wu Xiaojun and Xiang Meili came out of the office of the District Health Bureau and came to the District Personnel Bureau, which was a threshold that could not be crossed. Director Tian Sanmin, who is in his early forties, is of medium height, wearing a dark blue suit, a white shirt, and a red tie, he is relatively quiet and handsome, and he speaks slowly and logically. ”

Wu Xiaojun is a little incredible, that kind of broken hospital has become a golden baby, and you have to go through the nod and consent of the district mayor to enter the person, which is too exaggerated. After all, the district chief is the highest administrator in the district, and it is not as simple as the director of health to get him to sign, and it seems that the personnel bureau is much more difficult than the health bureau. I can only wait until Lu Jianmin comes back to see what to do next.

On the evening of the second day after Lu Jianmin arrived in Beijing, he received a call from Xiang Meimei, who had already stamped the seal of the Health Bureau and asked him to come back quickly. Lu Jianmin's classmate had just bought a house and was preparing to get married, and he was very nervous about money, so he came back with less than 800 yuan. didn't get the desired result from his classmates, Xiang Meili was very angry, scolded him, and the two had an awkward quarrel for a few days.

Wu Xiaojun and Lu Jianmin saw Tian Sanmin, the director of the Personnel Bureau, again, and he still said the same thing.

The two of them felt a little confused for a while, and after calming down, they turned their hearts sideways, whoever talks counts will find whom, the district chief is not terrible, don't care about it, let it go, and go directly to the district chief's office.

The district mayor looked at the "Employment Agreement" of the two with a grim face and frowned, and said coldly, "The personnel bureau needs to make a report to the personnel bureau to recruit people in the district, and the district mayor's office will discuss and arrange it in a unified manner." Then he lowered his head and commented on the text, saying nothing.

The two were pushed out of the district mayor's office with cold faces, and their hearts were filled with disappointment and insignificance, and they were suddenly at a loss.

Lu Jianmin complained and scolded, "No wonder the common people say that the government yamen door is difficult to enter and ugly, there are so many twists and turns in it, who knows when the mother's personnel bureau will make a report, and when will the district mayor's office meeting be held?" Not to mention waiting for half a year, it is held in two months, and the final reassignment period in the province has passed, and the daylilies are cold. We don't have the time and time to accompany these officials to do tai chi. ”

Wu Xiaojun pondered for a long time and said unwillingly, "Ask the head of the Che district, he should know what to do." ”

Lu Jianmin said disappointedly, "Dead horses should be used as live horse doctors, try it." ”

The head of the Che district met Director Zhang the day after the Health Bureau stamped the two of them, and he already knew about the Health Bureau's communication, and when he saw the two of them, he said, "Director Zhang, I have already told him that the seal has been stamped, what else do you have to do?" "On the side of the Health Bureau, he didn't play a role at all, and deliberately sold a favor in front of the two, the most important thing was to sell a favor to Ge Wenling and his wife.

Wu Xiaojun said gratefully, "Thank you to the district chief, the health bureau has already been cleared." When we met Director Tian, he said that it must be approved by the district head, and the district head said that the personnel bureau would make a report, and the district head's office would study and arrange it in a unified manner. We don't know what the procedures are in the district, so please give us some guidance. ”

The head of the Che district said unhurriedly, "The personnel bureau will first summarize the personnel to be hired in the district, submit the placement opinions to the district government, and then the district mayor's office will discuss and approve the implementation." It is usually conducted in March every year. ”

Lu Jianmin couldn't help but baffle, looked at the head of the car district and asked uneasily, "Is it possible to make special arrangements, exceptions?" Especially for outsiders like us, there are many links and departments that go through, and if any one is stuck, it will not be possible to carry out it later. ”

"The key is the Personnel Bureau, and of course the head of the district nods best. I'm not in charge of this part, the specific details are not very clear, and it may not be easy to speak, so you still communicate with Director Tian more. ”

The head of the car district said nothing.

The two came out of the car chief's office, like deflated balls.

The hard bone of the Personnel Bureau is more hard to gnaw than the Health Bureau. The Health Bureau has been tossing for almost a month, and who knows when this personnel bureau will be able to break it, and it is really unpredictable whether it will be breached. Wu Xiaojun felt that there was little hope and little chance of success. The idea of giving up arose.

White-collar Yan also felt that things were much more difficult than he imagined, and he was even more worried that Wu Xiaojun would not have the patience to persist and leave angrily, which was a terrible result that he did not want to see, and turned her around in a hurry. casually told Ge Wenling about the situation, "Aunt, what can I do?" ”

Ge Wenling said, "Swallow, don't worry, the rule is that the dead are alive." You let Xiaojun keep an eye on the director of the personnel bureau, and I will think of another way to keep in touch with me at any time if there is any situation. ”

"Hmm."

Wu Xiaojun and Lu Jianmin went to see Director Tian every three days during normal working hours, and Director Tian did not have any new ideas and progress except for repeatedly saying that "the leaders are busy and have not studied".

While the two of them were doing their work, they had been quietly inquiring about Director Tian's address in private.

Director Tian's address didn't sound as easy as Director Zhang's house, and he ran through the family homes in the whole district, and faintly found that the people asked inside were very sensitive to his family, as if there were any secrets, either he didn't know, or he dodged and no one wanted to say.

At about eight o'clock that night, in front of the No. 4 family courtyard, the two of them asked an aunt in her fifties with a kind face, "Auntie, may I ask if Director Tian's house is here?" ”

The aunt looked at the two of them with very surprised eyes, and asked in a muffled voice, "What is the matter with you?" ”

Wu Xiaojun felt that the aunt in front of him seemed to know Director Tian's situation, and hurriedly smiled and said, "We are traveling to Pingxi from other places, and we are acquaintances with Director Tian many times, and we talk to him on the phone during the day, and he says that he is waiting for us at home, and we will call his house when we arrive." Because I came in a hurry, I had to ask for his phone number. ”

The aunt was a little skeptical, muttered for a while, looked around at no one, and whispered, "It's hard to talk if you don't have a phone, he has two homes, a real home, and a lover's home." It's not easy for you to come here, it's better not to see him tonight, lest you go to the wrong door and say the wrong thing, and it will be embarrassing when the time comes, so go to the unit tomorrow and go directly to him. After saying that, he hurried away.

The two of them were surprised for a while, they didn't expect that this bureau chief still had the hobby of raising lovers, which was an unexpected heavy gain.

It is no longer a secret that Director Tian has a lover among people in the district, and of course his wife knows that the two have been divorced for nearly half a year.

Director Tian grew up in a family of workers in a large state-owned factory in Hexi, not only is he very handsome, but he is relatively smart since he was a child, and he was admitted to Xiangzhou University and has become the object of worship and pursuit of many beautiful women. was in the midst of the flowers on campus, and finally he chose a fellow Pingxi villager in the same department, and more importantly, she was the daughter of the county magistrate of Xunyang County, Pingxi City at that time. After graduation, both were assigned to Hexi District and became government officials.

Tian Sanmin's wife grew up in an official eunuch's house, and freely developed pampered habits, and her temper was relatively irritable, scolding him at every turn and beating him when she raised her hand. Tian Sanmin has been swallowing his anger and not daring to fight with her, and the county magistrate and his wife have no way to take this daughter, and they also feel sympathy and grievances for Tian Sanmin. helped Tian Sanmin in his career and made up for the spiritual debt caused to him by his daughter. Based on this, Tian Sanmin's career can be described as smooth sailing, and before the age of 35, he was promoted from a general staff member to the important position of director of the Personnel Bureau.

There is a limit to people's patience, and no matter how good the temper is, there are times when they go crazy. With the rise of his official rank and the change of position, Tian Sanmin gradually faced more temptations. Later, his wife found out that the docile "little-footed daughter-in-law" who scolded and beat her mouth and beat her hand had changed, not only grew a temper, but also often did not return home at night.
