After dinner, Wu Chen took another 10,000 yuan and lent it to Ma Zhuo, such a person who can toss, mixed like this, he is also strange in his heart.

When I got home, I took a shower and fell asleep, but today he was tired all day, and he didn't feel very much when he was excited, and now he couldn't hold it anymore.

This sleep was very deep, and there were no dreams about the good life in the future. By the time Wu Chen got up from the bed, it was already the next morning, Wu Chen rubbed his eyes, through the curtains, the sky outside the window was a little misty, people were lazy, and they didn't cook porridge, so they got up and cleaned up briefly, and went downstairs to the door of the community to have breakfast.

Wu Chen sat down at a snack bar and asked for a bowl of vermicelli and a basket of steamed dumplings. The proprietress added some coriander to the vermicelli as usual, and when she served it, she also instructed, "Xiao Wu, eat more, see how thin you are!" There was a lot of concern in his tone, and he felt very cordial in Wu Chen's ears.

When he needs to go to work, in order to hurry, he always returns to the unit to eat. I often come here to eat on weekends, I have long been familiar with it, the proprietress is surnamed Chen, nearly forty years old, and Wu Chen's old family, and his husband opened this small shop here, the business is okay, there are a pair of children at home, they are going to school, and the life of the family depends on this shop. Wu Chen often comes to eat alone, but Sister Chen is not polite to him.

After breakfast, Wu Chen felt very satisfied, Shi Shiran walked back to the dormitory, and on the way, he met several girls from the same unit who came down to eat breakfast, so he said hello. One of the good-looking girls came in the same year as Wu Chen, both of them were single, at the beginning, colleagues always talked about them, Wu Chen also thought about it, took the initiative to contact it a few times, and saw that the girl had been salty and not light, so it was gone.

Back in the dormitory, as soon as he entered the door, Xu Zhifei followed in. This guy usually comes to sit at night, and he doesn't know what's going on in the early morning.

"I just ran into Xu Yifan, why don't you chase down for breakfast?" Wu Chen said jokingly, Xu Yifan is the girl just now, Xu Zhifei has nagged in front of him more than once, and when it comes out of his mouth, Xu Yifan has become a good girl with a good mouth, a good waist, and good legs.

"Ha, just kidding! Where is our turn, it's for the big leader, not for sale! Just think about it, if you really want to think about it, I don't know how Lu Dao died. Xu Zhifei snorted, this kind of thing is also half-truth, Wu Chen didn't bother to ask, he thought about it, and he didn't see how to die! Boil your own water to make tea, this early morning breakfast is very greasy, and it is best to drink tea.

Xu Zhifei only said this kind of thing here in Wu Chen, this buddy Yan'er is chirping, but he is righteous, not gossiping, even if something comes to him and pours it into the sewer, there is not even a sound.

Xu Zhifei looked like a cannon, but he actually knew very well in his heart that the objects he spoke to were very targeted. If he was really stunned, he would not be favored by a certain big head in the unit.

Everyone in the unit knows that Xu Zhifei often goes to the leader's office to get cigarettes and smokes, and the only one in the whole unit who dares to enter his office to take cigarettes and smoke himself when the leader is not there, is Xu Zhifei, a section-level cadre.

"Do you know it? The public elections will begin again next week. Xu Zhifei saw that Wu Chen looked like a dead man, so he put a heavy bomb on him, but found that Wu Chen still looked indifferent, really depressed!

"When, why don't I know the way?" Wu Chen fiddled with the tea set, he really didn't care. In his opinion, this kind of thing has nothing to do with him, and no matter what form of selection, it will not fall on him.

"Just annoying you like this, are you so careless? This time, there will be eight places in the deputy department! Eight! It's a vice-director! Not a digress! Xu Zhifei looked like he hated iron but not steel.

There are not many opportunities for this kind of large-scale public election, generally speaking, the deputy department is elected only when there is a vacancy in the post, and the election is directly the real position, and the deputy investigator is promoted on the establishment of vacancies, because it is not a real position, although the treatment is equivalent to the deputy department, the power difference is not a little bit, sometimes a deputy transfer of real power, there is no section chief as the head of the division group.

"What about the heart? Hehe, you don't know how to do it, cannon fodder like me, just go through the motions seriously when the time comes. Come, drink tea. Wu Chen said slowly.

The so-called public election is to accumulate to a certain period of time, due to the turnover or retirement of personnel in the unit, there are some leadership vacancies, they will be taken out in a unified manner, and the open selection will be made among the qualified employees of the unit, which is generally divided into several steps: written examination, public speech, voting, and resolution of the party group meeting.

At present, there are very few forms of direct appointment to leadership posts, and unless a few individuals need to be "specially promoted," they are all elected through public elections, and it is safest to go through organizational procedures.

The public election at the deputy department level is generally selected among the deputy researchers, chief staff members (section level) and deputy chief staff members (deputy section level) who have served for a certain number of years, Xu Zhifei and Wu Chen are both chief staff members, so they naturally meet the conditions. There are eight places this time, so the chances are great.

It is unrealistic to say that Wu Chen doesn't care at all, but he also knows that sometimes, the so-called public election is just another way, stretching the procedure and making it complicated, and going through a process, in fact, who to promote and who not to promote, is basically predetermined in advance, and there are no major changes, the result will not be too unexpected, and the organizational intention must be implemented, which is the overriding general outline.

"I decided to sign up, and I still have a relatively good grasp of it." Xu Zhifei took a sip of tea, thought about it and said, with a look of you knowing, "But it is recommended that you also sign up, according to your ability, there will definitely be no problem in the front, and if you walk around during this time, you may be able to fight for it." ”

Wu Chen knew that Xu Zhifei said this, he had the intention to use his relationship to run for Wu Chen, and he was very moved. In the past few years of work, he has been relatively depressed, but fortunately, there are two people around him, Brother Li and Xu Zhifei. Brother Li is a good man, enthusiastic, you can ask him if you have any questions. Xu Zhifei has a temper, but he can get along like a brother, this is fate!

To say that in the unit, there is fierce competition between colleagues like them who are of the same age, level, and length of service, and only Xu Zhifei would say this to him.

If it was to be put before, Wu Chen might have fought for it, but after yesterday's day, now his thoughts are a little complicated, and it is difficult to say whether he will continue to follow this path in the future, and he really has no fighting spirit.

Xu Zhifei agitated for a while, feeling that he was playing the piano to the cow, and left angrily.

Wu Chen was encouraged by Xu Zhifei, and while drinking tea, he thought about the next path, which was nothing more than to continue to be a civil servant, or come out to do business and collect something.

He came from a financial background, and even used various analytical models in the end, substituting various factors into the parameters, and tinkering with them in the morning, the results were very frustrating! All the indicator orientation, in the final analysis, there is only one conclusion: if you have the ability to be a civil servant, it is pure stupidity!

After eating lunch and taking a short lunch break, Wu Chen decided not to hurt his brain anymore, and the boat went straight to the bridge, so take one step at a time. Put down your thoughts, just take out that root carving, and make it up, since I came back yesterday, I haven't seen this thing properly.

He took a look at it first, and found that it was a slightly irregular yellow-brown stone, which seemed to be pressed with a piece of leather or thick paper, but he couldn't find a way to open it.

"Oops, that's stupid!" Wu Chen suddenly knocked on his head, how could he put his ability and not use it, I always remember to look at the things inside, I forgot that I can still search for the root carving itself, since it was made in the later stage, it is definitely not a whole, there are no gaps on the outside, there are always cracks on the inside of the wood!

He perked up, and looked into the carved wood inch by inch, and finally found a gap where the birthday star's cane was combined with the body, which was too good to see with the naked eye.

Wu Chen couldn't help but be impressed! The carving here is already very tortuous and complex in terms of craftsmanship, and the outer layer of paint is seamless! Over the years, there must have been a lot of people who have handled this root carving, and some of them must have noticed that its weight was wrong, but no one found its mystery, which could be obtained by Wu Chen, no wonder it was said that what was left was a fine product.

It's one thing to discover a secret, it's another thing to open it, it's okay to pry it open directly, but it's difficult to restore it, Wu Chen is still a little reluctant, many years of collecting hobbies have made him have a mental burden on destroying antiquities!

Helplessly, this root carving is not controlled by a mechanism, and the person who did it at that time may have been to hide something, and once something is taken out, this carving has no meaning.

After tossing for a long time, Wu Chen was still a young man, and after being driven by curiosity, he decided to open it and take a look.

He first used the blade to cut a hole along the gap, and then slowly pried it open, and when the root carving cracked, some soft fine dust was scattered, and he didn't know whether the crisp sawdust was still the thing that was smeared to prevent moisture.

Almost pried, Wu Chen first carefully took out a slightly brown folded paper, on which some lines and circles were faintly drawn, it seemed to be a topographic map, so he put it aside first.

He took out an irregular trapezoidal yellow stone, the corners of which were extremely rounded, and were very tightly embedded with the root carving, so it was no wonder that no sound could be heard when it was shaken.

It took a lot of effort for Wu Chen to take it out, and he felt tender and warm when he started it, like baby skin, very comfortable.

Then take it in your hand and look at it carefully, the whole body is clear and transparent, a bit like solidified honey, moist and incomparable, the skin has dense lines like a woven web, sparse and dense, not disorderly, such as the peel of a new radish.

What's that? Could it be Tian Huang? But Tian Huang seems to have gradually attracted attention until the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and he became famous during the reign of Qianlong.

Wu Chen relied on the poor knowledge he had accumulated from watching and collecting shows with adults, and he really couldn't tell what it was.

Flipping through the bottom again, he found that it was actually a seal, with four seal books on it, Wu Chen cleaned it up, carefully identified it, and it seemed to be engraved with the "Wenwen Mountain Seal", and he was suddenly startled!
