After coming out of the department store, Chen Guan looked at his watch, and there was still some time before he got off work, so he drove to the Provincial Public Security Department.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and in Chen Guan's imagination, all departments and offices of the provincial department should start to rotate on duty, so that comrades can take turns to go to the street to buy New Year's goods and clean up at home. However, when I arrived at the gate of the provincial department, I found that it was very lively here, and there were police cars from various cities and counties and cities at the gate.

When I entered the yard, it was more lively, a bunch of people in the east and west were unloading, dividing things, and receiving things, what rice and flour oil, pig's head and pig's trotters, beef and mutton, small grinding sesame oil, vermicelli and green onions, radish and cabbage, fungus and mushrooms, coarse grains, everything!

Chen Guan found a vacant seat to park the car, and just about to push the door to get out of the car, he saw several people carrying the New Year's goods he had just received and walking towards a car next to him, and quickly closed the door again, staying in the car without moving.

Wang Meng is very familiar with the Provincial Public Security Department, and Director Meng Qingchuan, Deputy Director Wang Xuewen, Old Man Luo Li, and Sheng Hua are also familiar with the Central Plains Armed Police Corps, the reason is that the Central Plains Armed Police Corps belongs to the provincial department sequence, Wang Meng is a master's degree armed police captain who came back from studying in the United States, and is well-known in the Central Plains Armed Police Force.

Although everyone is very familiar, Wang Meng sat in the car but had no intention of going down, first, she was shy and didn't want people to know that she came with Chen Guan; The second is to be sensible, knowing that this is Chen Guan's business, and she doesn't need to come forward.

Seeing that Chen Guan was about to get out of the car and closed the car door again, Wang Meng whispered: "It's unfortunate that we're here, we're about to get off work, and we're all getting things!" ”

Chen Guan didn't say anything.

The men walked up to the front and back of the car, opened the doors and trunk, and loaded things into the car.

A female comrade complained while loading New Year's goods into the car: "It's these things every year, and I don't know how to change the tricks, I send so much, I can't finish eating, and no one wants to give it away, and the soil is dead!" ”

The other man smiled and said, "If you don't want it, give it to me, and you can go to my house to visit relatives during the New Year." ”

The lesbian also laughed and said, "Think beautifully! I still have to see my relatives! ”

After speaking, the female comrade complained again: "It's better to be an official!" The leaders don't have to get things by themselves, just send the driver and the office people to collect it on their behalf! ”

The man who spoke just now continued: "The advantage of being a leader is not only that you don't have to take things and move things yourself, don't compare you as a soldier with the leader!" ”

These people did not shy away from talking, and Chen Guan and Wang Meng heard clearly through the car window.

Chen Guan sighed in his heart, I don't know how many poor people in Lu Dao are worried about not being able to buy a new dress for their children during the New Year, these cadres still think that the local specialties they send are old-fashioned, they are really full of men and don't know that hungry men are hungry!

Thinking that Zhouli Township was so difficult that he had to open his mouth to ask Wang Menglong, the county magistrate, for money, and that individual comrades in the provincial department were not satisfied with the New Year's goods sent by the grassroots, Chen Guan felt that the difference between the grassroots and the big organs was too big and unfair. Grassroots cadres work hard, and in the end, they end up with low wages and poor treatment. I don't know how many people in the big organs pass the time with a newspaper and a cup of tea every day, but they don't delay promotion and welfare, and in the end, they still think that the things they send are not good enough. This is really a double heaven of organs and grassroots!

The provincial department is still only a department directly under the provincial government, and presumably the compound of the provincial party committee and the provincial government will be more lively at this time. And so on, the departments directly under the provincial government, the municipal departments of various cities, I am afraid that no one will have less New Year's goods! If you look at the whole country, how much will it cost to celebrate the New Year!

Seeing that Chen Guan didn't speak, Wang Meng thought that after listening to the conversation between the two people, he didn't want to go to see the leaders anymore, so he said, "If you don't want to go upstairs, we'll go back." However, we're all here, and if we don't go upstairs, we'll run for nothing!"

Chen Guan is in the initial stage of his career, and although he just thought about the difference between the grassroots and the big organs, and how much money the whole country will have to spend in the coming year, he will never stop going upstairs to see the leader because of this, and think that there is something wrong with him coming to see the leader. At this time, Chen Guan was thinking about how to make contributions, how to be appreciated by leaders, and how to promote and promote.

Chen Guan smiled at Wang Meng, said "How can it", and pushed the car door and got out of the car.

Chen Guan first went to see Director Meng Qingchuan and Deputy Director Wang Xuewen, and he knew that the Public Security Department had great responsibilities, and these two leaders would definitely work normally in the office.

Director Meng Qingchuan is indeed in the office, but the office keeps people coming in and out.

Chen Guan waited for a while, saw that a cadre had just come out, he stepped over, knocked on the door first and then shouted the report, and after Meng Qingchuan sounded in the room, "Come in", Chen Guan pushed the door in, first asked "Director Meng is good", and reported that he had returned from Beijing and was about to go home for the New Year.

As he spoke, Chen Guan took out a 1,000 yuan shopping card and put it on Meng Qingchuan's table. said that it was a big New Year, and I couldn't come to see the leader empty-handed, but I didn't have anything to buy after thinking about it, so I had to buy some shopping coupons, which were very small, which was a little heart to congratulate the New Year.

Meng Qingchuan's brows furrowed suddenly, and his eyes looked at Chen Guan viciously, as if he wanted to see through what kind of person Chen Guan was.

Chen Guan was uncomfortable by Meng Qingchuan's scrutinizing gaze, picked up the shopping coupon on the table, looked ashamed, and turned to leave.

Meng Qingchuan shouted: "Come back!" ”

Chen Guan had no choice but to turn around and walk to Meng Qingchuan's desk and stand still.

Meng Qingchuan's eyes stared at Chen for a while, and then he said: "Young people, don't follow the crowd, learn from the good and the bad, that will make you unable to see the direction of progress!" ”

Chen Guan was stunned and stood there silently.

Meng Qingchuan said again: "You are a good seedling, don't learn from some people, don't feel at ease at work, and specialize in entertaining and giving gifts to run relationships, that will hurt you!" You have to remember that work ability and work performance are the first, and only with ability and achievements can you have the capital to settle down. If you don't have the ability, you can't do it, even if you are promoted to an important position, you can't do the job, and if something happens sooner or later in the future, you will fall very badly! ”

Chen Guan saluted Meng Qingchuan and said sincerely: "Xie Lu Xie Meng Director teachings!" ”

Only then did Meng Qingchuan ask about the visa application, and told Chen Guan to go home and spend the New Year well, pay attention to secrecy, and not tell anyone about his mission to the United States. No matter who asks, they must say that they are still training in the province.

After explaining, Meng Qingchuan said that he would give Chen Guan's family a New Year's greeting in advance, and waved Chen Guan away.

The 1,000 yuan shopping coupon was not sent out, and he was taught a lesson by Director Meng.

Fortunately, Chen Guan was thick-skinned, not only did he not feel ashamed, on the contrary, he felt that Director Meng Qingchuan loved him and gave him a vivid class struggle education lesson, and the effect was better than giving 1,000 yuan shopping coupons!

Seeing that Wang Xuewen and Sheng Hua were very smooth, the shopping coupons were sent out, and Chen Guan also asked Sheng Hua to transfer a police van for him to pull his luggage back to Mingshui. Sheng Hua agreed, saying that he was on call.

Old man Luo Li has long since retired, Chen Guan's intensive training is over, and the instructor group is disbanded, Luo Li is at home at this time!

Old man Luo Li lived in the family home of the Public Security Bureau, Chen Guan thought that this was going to someone's house, not just to take shopping coupons, but to buy some fruits and other gifts, so he bought a few fruits and milk in a store near the Public Security Bureau, and went to the family home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the family courtyard, Mr. Luo Li happened to be walking in the yard, familiar with Chen Guan's car, and walked over directly, and saw Chen Guan and Wang Meng sitting in the car at a glance.

Wang Meng was ashamed, her heart was pounding, and her face was as red as an autumn apple.

Chen Guan opened the door and got out of the car, opened his mouth and said, "Director Luo, I want to come to pay you an early greeting, but I don't know where you live, let Instructor Wang help me lead the way." ”

Luo Li didn't ask anything, Chen Guan was busy explaining, isn't this three hundred taels of silver here?

Wang Meng had no choice but to get out of the car with a red face, only to say "Hello Director Luo", and then said no more, standing there twisting and pinching, staring at his toes.

Old man Luo Li is old, he is old and refined, Wang Meng's performance fell in his eyes, and it all became the scene of young men and women being bumped into when they fell in love for the first time.

Luo Li was so happy that his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and he beckoned the two of them to sit at home.

Chen Guan took out the gift he bought for Luo Li from the trunk and put it on, and Wang Meng followed behind him and went to Luo Li's house together.

When he arrived at Luo Li's house, as soon as he sat down, Luo Li urged his wife to hurry up and eat, so that Chen Guan and Wang Meng had to eat at home.

It was impossible for Chen Guan to eat at Luo Li's house, the reason was very simple, they came suddenly, and when they arrived to eat, the meals were ready, and there was no rice in the pot!

Chen Guan said that he would not eat, and he would come to see Director Luo, and he was leaving. I am very lucky to know Director Luo and listen to Director Luo's teachings. Director Xie Lu Xie Luo!

Luo Li is retired, he is unofficial, and he speaks casually: "Chen Guan, you are indeed lucky, but the lucky thing is not to know me, but to know Wang Meng, the most beautiful and talented instructor of the Central Plains Armed Police." Well, that's good! When is the wedding happening? Don't forget to call me a wedding drink! ”

Wang Meng's face turned even redder, glanced at Chen Guan, and hurriedly pleaded and said, "Director Luo, don't talk nonsense, it's not like that!" Chen Guan has a partner, and I am also older than him, how can people take a fancy to me? ”

At this time, Wang Meng remembered that Chen Guan had an object and that she was bigger than Chen Guan.

Luo Li smiled.

Chen Guansheng was afraid that he would stay for a long time, and Old Man Luo said something inexplicable, so he quickly took out a 1,000 yuan shopping card and handed it to Luo Li.

Luo Li's face sank suddenly, and he said coldly: "Keep the things you bought, and you take these things." When Lao Tzu beat the little devils, the Kuomintang, and the American devils, I didn't expect to engage in these ghosts! ”

This old man, people came to see him with kindness, and he didn't give him any affection!

Chen Guan explained that this was a little bit of his own mind, and it was a shopping coupon bought with his own money, and it had nothing to do with the government. I just wanted to celebrate the New Year, so I asked Director Luo to do some New Year's goods.

Luo Li didn't listen to Chen Guan's explanation, and said with a dark face: "No one's money can buy it!" If this matter is left in the old man's house, it will be criticized and sentenced! Chen Guan, I can tell you, don't learn those crooked ways, take the right path, don't spoil yourself! You are young and ignorant, let me tell you today, as long as a person does not take bribes and does not mess with the relationship between men and women, even if he arrests and locks you up, he is not afraid, there will always be a day when Zhaoxue will be rehabilitated! In the Cultural Revolution, so many old cadres were locked up in the cowshed, and they were not all rehabilitated after the last one? Like some cadres nowadays, they only have their eyes fixed on money, and they ignore all party discipline and state law, and they say that they will take the lead in getting rich in the name of being unlucky! When it comes to settling accounts, they can be judged no matter what, and they will never be rehabilitated! Because they have embezzled and taken bribes, the evidence of their guilt is conclusive! ”

Luo Li said it in a loud voice, like a quarrel.

Chen Guan was disgraced and turned around and left.

Luo Li is on the rise to teach Chen Guan a lesson, how can he let him go away like this?

Luo Li grabbed Chen Guan and shouted, "Don't go, I haven't finished talking yet!" ”

Chen Guan could only stay and listen to Luo Li's lesson.

Luo Li's wife was reluctant, and came over and said to Luo Li: "You old man, you are old, you don't even understand a little bit of human sophistication, and the common people know that you don't want to hit the doorman, you are good, two young people are kind enough to come to see you, and give you New Year's greetings, and you are a scolding when you split your head and cover your face." What kind of majesty are you playing? If you have the ability, you go and yell at the secretary of the provincial party committee, the provincial governor, and the minister of public security, what are you yelling at the two young people? I think you're an old bastard! ”

The old wife scolded with a gun and a stick, and Luo immediately turned to her: "What do you know?" Chen Guan is the most talented young man I have ever seen in my life, and I am teaching him a lesson! If you were someone else, I wouldn't even bother to say it, an old man! ”

Luo Li's wife said: "Then you have to pay attention to the way you speak, and you have to consider whether other young people can accept it!" ”

Saying this, Luo Li's mood eased, he was no longer like a fighting, pulled Chen Guan and Wang Meng to sit down, gave Chen Guan a cigarette, lit one himself, took two puffs, and then whispered: "I shouldn't be angry at you." You came to see me with good intentions, and I was angry at you, and it seemed that my old man didn't understand human feelings. However, Chen Guan, I'm so angry that I have nowhere to vent! ”

Chen's head was like pounding garlic: "Knowing the way, knowing the way!" ”

Luo Li rolled his eyes: "You know what a fart!" See what's all of it now? Party and government organs are doing business and running enterprises, political and legal organs are doing business and running enterprises, the army is running business and enterprises, and even our security departments and intelligence departments are doing business and running enterprises! If you continue like this, you will have to suffer a big loss! Americans spend two stinky money to plot against Wang Meng's intelligence chief! How terrible is this! Maybe one day the Yankees and Japanese devils will come to the door again, and we will have to make a big retreat and a big breakthrough, which is no different from when the little devils invaded China! ”

Luo Li's statement that the intelligence chief was plotted against by the US intelligence agencies is indeed true, and Chen Guan has also heard of it.

Luo Li is a retired senior cadre, and he climbed out of the war, and he thinks differently from others. Everyone else is thinking about attracting investment to develop the economy and catch up with the United States in many years, but Luo Li is thinking about the question of whether the Americans and the Japanese will come to the door again. This old man is different from others!

Chen Guan is now just a grassroots cadre, and he does not consider these overall and strategic issues, but what he thinks about is how to complete his tasks as soon as possible so that he can return to become the secretary of his township party committee, and how to make good use of his own funds, make more money, and make a fortune by the way. Luo Li's words, for him, are not just whining, they have a deafening effect.

Of course, Chen Guan himself knew that the tide of doing business with all the people could not last, and the state would definitely stop it. Looking back, the country's economic policy will gradually get on the right track. When he first came to work in Tonghua Town, he saw the chaos in the mine and thought of it.

Luo Li's words were not finished: "The essence of human beings is greedy, they have to think about everything, and their desires are endless. As it is now, during the New Year, grass-roots units will drive to the higher-level organs to give gifts, and at first they will give local specialties, but they will not be able to give them away, and they will not be able to take advantage of them. When the time comes, it's time to send the money directly. Ministers, department heads, department heads, and division directors of higher-level organs who have the right to collect them will be disgusted with local specialties and rustic, and it will be boring to collect this little money during the New Year's holidays. When the time comes, there will be bribes, large-scale bribes. Later, it is likely that money will be given to promote cadres, money to build infrastructure, money to approve projects, and money to stamp an official seal, so there is no such thing as not giving money! When it is out of control, and the people are complaining, the central government will inevitably start to put things in order, and if they don't put things in order, they will have to destroy the party and the country. At that time, I don't know how many cadres will have their heads on the ground, and how many cadres will have to wear the hat of embezzlers to squat in the class room! ”

Chen Guan didn't dare to think that Old Man Luo Li was complaining anymore, and he listened to it like thunder!

No one has ever said these words to Chen Guan, and he has never thought about it in this regard, let Old Man Luo say this, Chen Guan is really taught!

Luo Li was verbose for a while, and after venting, his emotions were better, and then he said to Chen Guan: "Xiao Chen, I want you to tell you so much, you have to see the essence through the surface, and you have to understand the truth of being an official." Don't be greedy at any time! Don't look at others taking money to find leaders, but they are really promoted, just follow it, that is to be unlucky! You have to settle an account, that is, some people climb up like rockets, and they may end up in prison; Some people, if they don't run or send, they may be promoted slowly, or even never promoted, but they can lead their wives and children to live a peaceful life. Think about it, which way does it make sense? You are so young and capable, you have to take the right path and work hard. Don't let my old man down! ”

Chen Guan hurriedly said that Director Luo should rest assured that he will definitely live up to the expectations of the leaders, work in a down-to-earth manner, be a man in his duty, and be a good cadre for the welfare of the people!

Luo Li finally ended his lesson to Chen Guan and got up to see off the guests.

After coming out of Luo Li's house and sitting in the car, Wang Meng said to Chen Guan: "Old man Luo is old, and his temper is still so violent that I dare not speak." You touch it, my heart is still pounding now! ”

Wang Meng said this unconsciously, which meant to show how nervous she was just now, not to tease Chen Guan, but to really let Chen Guan touch whether her heartbeat was fast or not.

Chen Guan was in no mood to flirt with Wang Meng now, and as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the car ran away.
