Chapter 44: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
"How? The work is quite smooth, right? Guli asked.
"It's good, I've been placed in the food safety department, and the colleagues here are very kind." Ma Yao smiled.
"As long as you can adapt, come out to eat at noon, I invite you, it's a celebration of your first day of work!" Gu Li laughed.
"Okay, where?" Ma Xiaoyao agreed without thinking about it.
"Of course, it's still the Pearl Hotel...... But today you have to take a taxi by yourself, I can't go to the health bureau to pick you up, so as not to be seen gossiping by others, after all, you are now a civil servant, and you should pay attention to the impact of doing things. "Gu Li has been in the officialdom for so many years, and she still knows a lot about some taboos in the officialdom, Ma Xiaoyao was not a civil servant before, she could pick up Ma Xiaoyao without fear, but now Ma Xiaoyao is already a staff member of the Health Bureau, Gu Li must pay attention to the impact, so as not to be accused of abusing her power and helping Ma Xiaoyao to be promoted.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded understandingly: "Okay, I know, I'll take a taxi to Baozhu Hotel by myself." ”
"Okay, when you get to the hotel, call me." With that, Guli ended the call.
Ma Xiaoyao put away his mobile phone, walked out of the food safety department quickly, and then went down the stairs to the hall on the first floor.
Because he was in a hurry to meet Gu Li, so Ma Xiaoyao walked faster, who knew that as soon as he came to the door of the office building, he collided with a person, Ma Xiaoyao shook his body, regretted a step, and then kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"
"It's !! you" A roar suddenly rang out.
Ma Xiaoyao was stunned, raised his head in surprise, and saw that the person who bumped into him was a young man, who should be about 30 years old, and he looked quite handsome, what surprised Ma Xiaoyao the most was that he felt that the face of this young man was somewhat familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it again.
"Good boy, I finally got you this time!" The young man gritted his teeth and said.
Ma Xiaoyao frowned and asked suspiciously, "Do you know me?" ”
"You just turn to ashes, and I know you!" The young man snorted.
Ma Xiaoyao was a little confused: "But why don't I know you......"
"It seems that your memory is really bad, okay, let me remind you, in the early morning of more than a month ago, my girlfriend and I were making out in the car on the side of the road, you happened to be passing by looking for trouble, and you beat me up at that time......" The young man sneered (see chapter 11 for details, the young man's name is Li Ming, and he and Ma Xiaoyao had a conflict on the side of the road).
"Uh...... It's you ......" After the young man's reminder, Ma Xiaoyao suddenly remembered, more than a month ago, Ma Xiaoyao really beat the young man in front of him, after more than a month, Ma Xiaoyao had already forgotten about it, it was really a narrow road, and he actually met the other party in the Health Bureau.
"Huh? Deputy Director Li, didn't you go to the countryside to do research? Coming back so soon? A surprised voice came from behind.
Ma Xiaoyao looked back and found that it was Xiao Wei, the director of the office, and hurriedly nodded and greeted: "Director Xiao." ”
"Oh, Ma Xiaoyao, you haven't gotten off work yet?" Xiao Wei smiled politely.
"I'm going out to eat." Ma Xiaoyao replied: "Who knew that when I met an acquaintance at the door, I chatted a few words." ”
"Acquaintances?" Xiao Wei glanced at the young man standing at the door in surprise: "I didn't expect that you would be an acquaintance with Deputy Director Li." ”
"What? Plum...... Deputy Director? Ma Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, and stretched out his hand to point at the young man: "Director Xiao, you said he is the deputy director?" ”
Xiao Wei nodded: "That's right." ”
"Deputy Director of the Health Bureau?" Ma Xiaoyao asked again.
"That's right, don't you know Deputy Director Li? How? You don't know the identity of Deputy Director Li? Xiao Wei asked curiously.
Ma Xiaoyao was directly a little dumbfounded, he actually beat up the deputy director of the Health Bureau? Now I'm in big trouble!
The young man standing at the door is not a bystander, it is Li Ming who was beaten by Ma Xiaoyao, after Li Ming was beaten, he called several friends to intercept Ma Xiaoyao at the intersection, coincidentally, Ma Xiaoyao happened to be keeping vigil in the bar in those days, and did not go home at all at night, so that Li Ming who was intercepted pounced, Li Ming was ready to eat this boring loss, who knew that today he actually met Ma Xiaoyao in the Health Bureau, the most surprising thing for Li Ming was that Ma Xiaoyao would become a staff member of the Health Bureau.
"Director Xiao, you came just in time, I am looking for you for something." Li Ming said.
"Ah...... What's up? Xiao Wei asked suspiciously.
"Let's talk to my office." After speaking, Li Ming raised his feet and walked towards the stairs, and when he passed by Ma Xiaoyao's side, Li Ming lowered his voice and said, "Boy, let's see!" After saying that, he went upstairs by himself.
Xiao Wei said hello to Ma Xiaoyao and hurriedly chased after Li Ming.
Looking at Li Ming's disappearing back, Ma Xiaoyao's face became extremely ugly.
……
Baozhu Hotel.
In the VIP room on the third floor.
Ma Xiaoyao sat on the chair and drank sullenly, as if he had something on his mind.
"Ma Xiaoyao, what's wrong with you?" Gu Li found that Ma Xiaoyao was a little depressed, usually the two of them eat together, Ma Xiaoyao is talking and laughing, but today he frowned, looking preoccupied.
"Alas......" Ma Xiaoyao sighed slightly: "Sister Gu, I'm in trouble." ”
Gu Li raised her eyebrows: "What's the trouble?" ”
"Sister Gu, is there a deputy director of the Health Bureau surnamed Li?" Ma Xiaoyao looked up at Gu Li.
Gu Li nodded: "Yes, there is a deputy director of the Health Bureau named Li Ming, what, do you know him?" ”
"Li Ming?" Ma Xiaoyao smiled bitterly: "I know each other, I used to beat Li Ming badly." ”
"Punched? What's going on? Gu Li was stunned.
Ma Xiaoyao shook his head and told the story of the matter.
After listening to Ma Xiaoyao's narration, Gu Li's expression suddenly became solemn: "Ma Xiaoyao, you really got into trouble this time, do you know who Li Ming's father is?" ”
"Who is it?" Ma Xiaoyao asked subconsciously.
"It's Li Yongchang, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee." Gu Li frowned: "Li Yongchang's roots in Lanhai City are very deep, and even Secretary Liu Yuncai has to give him three points." ”
"Huh?" Ma Xiaoyao was suddenly a little dumbfounded: "Li Ming's origin is so big!" ”
"That Li Ming is narrow-minded and loves to hold grudges, if you offend him, he will definitely not let you go, the most distressing thing is that Li Ming happens to be your top boss, and it is too easy to stumble on you." Gu Li said worriedly.
"What then? Or...... Sister Gu, change the unit for me! Ma Xiaoyao said urgently.
Gu Li smiled bitterly: "It's not so easy to change jobs...... Less than a day after you joined the Health Bureau, I transferred you to another unit, and others will definitely gossip, besides, even if you are transferred to another unit, Li Ming still has a way to calculate you. ”
"Forget it, I'll stay in the Health Bureau, as long as I usually do things carefully and don't make mistakes, Li Ming can't do anything about me!" Ma Xiaoyao gritted his teeth and said.
"What you said is right, as long as you are careful and don't be caught by Li Ming, he can't embarrass you too much, besides, with Ding Dawei protecting you, Li Ming will not dare to blatantly rectify you." Gu Li nodded and said: "The most important thing now is that you must do your best to make achievements, as long as you make achievements, you can gain a foothold in the Health Bureau, so that I will have an excuse to promote you." ”
"Sister Gu, don't worry, I will do a good job and I won't let you down." Ma Xiaoyao assured.
"Li Ming's matter, I will find a way to help you solve it, you can concentrate on your work." Guli comforted.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Sister Gu, I've bothered you." ”
After eating, Gu Li and Ma Xiaoyao parted, Gu Li took the car to the city hall, and Ma Xiaoyao returned to the health bureau.
At this time, it was 1:30, and there was still half an hour before the time to go to work, and there was no one in the huge office hall.
Ma Xiaoyao walked to his place and sat down, took out a cigarette and lit it and smoked, and after Ma Xiaoyao finished smoking a cigarette, people began to come to work one after another, and when it was 1:50, all the staff of the food safety department came.
"Huh? Ma Xiaoyao, you came so early? Wu Qinghe walked over with a water cup.
"Ah, Angkor." Ma Xiaoyao stood up and said hello to Wu Qinghe.
"There's nothing to do in the afternoon, just concentrate on reading the information I gave you, and write down the content of the information, and when you check the food hygiene in the future, you can see which foods are not up to standard." Wu Qinghe said with a smile.
"Hey, I see." Ma Yao nodded.
At two o'clock sharp, there was a slight sound of music in the building, and when it was time to go to work, the health bureau installed a loudspeaker in each corridor, and whenever I went to work or got off work, I would think about music.
The staff of the food safety department are still relatively self-disciplined, and when the working time comes, everyone stops talking and starts working in their respective positions.
Ma Xiaoyao concentrated and began to look through the information in his hand.
"Hello Deputy Director Li!"
Suddenly there was a shout in the office hall.
Ma Xiaoyao turned his head suspiciously, his brows suddenly furrowed, Li Ming came to the office hall at some point, and many staff members of the food safety department got up to greet Li Ming, and everyone's tone and demeanor were very respectful.
Even Wu Qinghe got up to say hello to Li Ming, and seeing that Ma Xiaoyao was still sitting on the chair and did not move, Wu Qinghe immediately reached out and pulled Ma Xiaoyao, and said in a low voice: "This is Deputy Director Li of the Health Bureau, hurry up and say hello." ”
Under the pull of Wu Qinghe, Ma Xiaoyao stood up reluctantly, but Ma Xiaoyao did not say hello to Li Ming.
At this time, Li Ming walked directly towards the horse.
Ma Xiaoyao let out a "groan" in his heart, and secretly screamed badly.
