The withdrawal of land and the establishment of a city are popular all over the country, and relevant news appears in the newspapers from time to time. Qingchuan is no exception, and the prefectural party committee and administrative department have set up the highest standard leading group for the withdrawal of land and the establishment of cities, with offices under it. Yuan Jinpeng was assigned to the secretary group, and there are a lot of people in the secretary group, but there are not many things now. There are still more than two months to go before the city meeting, and most of the meeting materials will not be finalized until the last few days. He found that the biggest advantage of being assigned to the secretarial group was that he had become a carefree person, and the political research office thought that he was working in the secretarial group, and the secretary team thought that he had something to do and returned to the political research office.

In the evening of this day, Yuan Jinpeng walked on Qingchuan Avenue. In the middle of May, the weather slowly warmed up, and women's skirts floated all over the streets. He didn't care to admire which dress was more beautiful, he just walked aimlessly. Half an hour later, he stopped at the southernmost intersection of Qingchuan Avenue, leading to Ping'an County in the west and Yingchang County in the east. Looking up to the east, there are a few neon words flashing in the night: Taikang Life. He just remembered that he hadn't heard Zhou Ziyuan's voice for a few days, so he went to see what he was busy with.

from job-hopping

Yuan Jinpeng went straight to the third floor, walked out of the elevator, saw the corridor and several rooms brightly lit, followed the light and stepped forward, and sure enough, he saw Zhou Ziyuan sitting alone at the computer desk. Yuan Jinpeng pushed open the glass door: "Director Zhou's daily management is amazing!" ”

Zhou Ziyuan raised his head suddenly, saw Yuan Jinpeng in front of him, and exclaimed: "Hey, why are you here?!" ”

Yuan Jinpeng smiled: "You didn't invite me, I had to come by myself." ”

Zhou Ziyuan stood up, patted Yuan Jinpeng on the shoulder, and pulled Yuan Jinpeng to sit down on the sofa: "Why did it become that I was not invited?" Who knows when you, the leader of the prefectural committee, will be willing to appreciate the light. ”

Yuan Jinpeng asked: "Overtime tonight?" ”

Zhou Ziyuan took out the green tea and brewed it: "It's not overtime, it's just that the general manager's house is not in Qingchuan, and there is generally nothing to do at night, so I look at the business number in the office or something." He's in the office, so I'm naturally going to be with me. ”

Yuan Jinpeng looked around the office: "Is the situation okay here?" ”

Zhou Ziyuan said: "It seems that it is okay, the new mechanism insurance company, in the past few months, Taikang's customers have grown rapidly. ”

Yuan Jinpeng stood up and walked a few steps: "That's good, how long will it take?" Let's go out for a walk. "Look around,

Zhou Ziyuan said: "I'll take you to get to know Mr. Lang of our company." ”

Yuan Jinpeng followed Zhou Ziyuan through the corridor and went directly to an office in the easternmost part. It was a large office of sixty square meters, and the most eye-catching thing in the office was a huge desk, in which a man of about forty years old sat with his back to the east and west.

Zhou Ziyuan said: "Mr. Lang, this is Yuan Jinpeng, section chief of the Political Research Office of the Prefectural Party Committee, and he is a classmate of my high school and teachers' college. ”

Mr. Lang got up, walked out from behind the desk quickly, and shook hands with Yuan Jinpeng warmly: "Section Chief Yuan, welcome!" ”。 Pulled Yuan Jinpeng to sit down in the lounge area to the right of the desk.

Lang's general name is Lang Yingjie, who used to be the manager of the county life insurance company, and jumped out in November last year to take charge of the establishment of the Qingchuan branch of Taikang Life. Lang Yingjie is of medium stature, with sparse hair, wolf eyes and an eagle nose, revealing a shrewd atmosphere from the inside out. Yuan Jinpeng has a penchant for looking, and his heart is touched.

Except for polite words, there was nothing to talk about, Yuan Jinpeng got up and said goodbye.

Lang Yingjie smiled heartily: "Hehe! Section Chief Yuan came to guide more, and went to accompany the accompanying students from afar, and I will go back immediately. ”

Out of the building, Zhou Ziyuan asked, "Where are we going?" ”

Yuan Jinpeng said: "Find a place to chat." ”

Zhou Ziyuan said: "There is a teahouse next to it, which is not bad. Or invite Li Zhongfu together? ”

"Don't say it, forget him, I'll call." Yuan Jinpeng took out his mobile phone to contact Li Zhongfu.

The teahouse is only 100 meters away from the Taikang office building, in a quiet alley called Jade Tea Hall. The place is small, but it is very elegant.

Yuan Jinpeng said with a smile: "How can this place be called Jade Tea Hall, there are seven or eight Jade Tea Halls built in a Qingchuan." Tang Xianzu was afraid of getting angry. ”

Zhou Ziyuan said: "You don't understand this, Qingchuan's Jade Tea Hall is a chain teahouse, this is the third, and the door is marked with Arabic numerals, and you didn't look carefully." Besides, Tang Weng should be happy to see the teahouses with the Yumingtang brand everywhere, how can he be angry? ”

Yuan Jinpeng was speechless and put aside the topic: "Do you really want to stay in Taikang?" ”

Zhou Ziyuan said: "The income here is good, let's see if it's decided." ”

On the second floor are four large boxes, named after the four dreams of Linchuan: Peony Pavilion, Purple Hairpin, Handan, and Nanke. Zhou Ziyuan led Yuan Jinpeng directly to the last box Nan Ke Ji with the waiter, and said to the waiter, bring me the "sparrow tongue" we deposited.

Yuan Jinpeng asked, "What finch tongue?" ”

Zhou Ziyuan said: "Biluochun's Ming Qian tea is called 'Bird's Tongue', which is a good thing, Lang always likes to drink this kind of tea, and bought some storage zài here." ”

Yuan Jinpeng shook his head: "I am really lonely, I only know that Biluochun is one of the top ten famous teas, where do I know that the tongue is the king of kings, your insurance industry is really rich." ”

The glass has just been brewed with hot tea, like a piece of hot iron, Zhou Ziyuan snorted, approached the glass and sniffed: "The income from working here is not bad, in Panasonic Town, my monthly salary is more than 500 yuan, and I can only get four or five monthly wages a year, here there are more than 5,000 yuan a month, and there are tens of thousands of yuan bonuses at the end of the year, and the economic treatment is really good!" ”

Yuan Jinpeng was surprised: "Such a high salary?!" ”

Zhou Ziyuan sighed: "Alas, you can't be tempted by such a salary!" In the past, I had the opportunity to go to the People's Bank of China and the Public Security Bureau, but I gave up. But when you go to Panasonic Town, you can only pay a few months of wages a year, who can survive, money is not everything, and no money is everything. I really can't hold on to it in the township, maybe one day I will completely quit my job and stay in Taikang. ”

Yuan Jinpeng was silent for a moment and said: "You Zhou Ziyuan is also a person with Lingyun ambitions, it seems that reality can always force people into a corner!" However, I think Lang Yingjie is not easy to get along with, suspicious and unsympathetic, you have to be more careful. ”

Zhou Ziyuan opened his mouth wide, and his eyes glared at Yuan Jinpeng: "Won't it!?" ”

Li Zhongfu pushed the door in, sat down next to Yuan Jinpeng, picked up the teacup in front of him, and took a sip: "How can there be a tea drinker Yaxing today?" ”

Yuan Jinpeng said: "I have nothing to do to wander here from afar, and I invite you to drink tea from afar, how can such an elegant thing be without you Li Dami." ”

Li Zhongfu patted Yuan Jinpeng on the back of his hand: "I don't know you Yuan Jinpeng yet?" Do you think that the Political Research Office has made you condescend?! ”

Yuan Jinpeng said: "What is not yielding, but it is indeed idle, not as fulfilling as you and Ziyuan." ”

Li Zhongfu said with a smile: "You kid is in the blessing and don't know the blessing, since he is far away in the enterprise, he has a high income from hard work." I'm busy and busy, and I've been doing it for so many years before I became a section chief. ”

Zhou Ziyuan said: "You will be the secretary of Commissioner Lin, and sooner or later you will be given the deputy county level, so you don't have to worry." ”

Yuan Jinpeng echoed: "Ziyuan is reasonable, you can't mention the deputy county level, and it is Commissioner Lin who is disgraced, unlike our political research office, which no one cares about." ”

Li Zhongfu retorted: "Where to speak, Deputy Secretary Dong Yuhua, who is in charge of the Political Research Office, has a lot of weight in speaking in the local party committee, and he is still your safe person." ”

"A man of peace is a man of peace, and I am not familiar with him." Yuan Jinpeng said, with a helpless tone.

Li Zhongfu took a sip of tea and said, "Now that I am mixing in the administrative unit, I am afraid that it will not work if I am too scholarly." Commissioner Lin is a scholar-type official, and he has repeatedly warned me not to turn myself into a useless scholar. Have you read "Chinese Painting"? ”

Yuan Jinpeng said: "Of course I have seen it, what do you mean? ”

"Zhu Huaijing can rise to the top, relying on Pi Deqiu. When I was studying at university, Professor Ge Pingming told us, first, don't be cynical, second, don't be cynical, third, don't be physically attached, first, the second is fine, and the third, I think it may be okay to teach and engage in academics in the university, but this way is not going to work in the officialdom. If you don't depend on the leader, you are not a leader, and you have to crawl slowly like a snail. If you want to give gifts and money, you can't send them. Generally speaking, the relationship between superiors and subordinates without material interests is as light as clear water, and it is difficult to gain a foothold in this era of economic supremacy. Li Zhongfu said.

Zhou Ziyuan said: "This is especially true of our company, where the power of the general manager is boundless. Mr. Lang has a monopoly on power, and the small power is not scattered, and he is not with him, and he has no good life. After reading "Chinese Painting", I wondered, will this book teach the officials badly? ”

Yuan Jinpeng smiled: "I've been thinking about it from afar, Wang Yuewen is still an idealist, if it is completely realistic, I'm afraid that the officialdom will be more than so dirty." I estimate that reality is more exciting than officialdom fiction. ”

Li Zhongfu also smiled: "Hehe, it seems that Jin Peng is not ignorant, but disdainful." ”

Yuan Jinpeng said: "Let you see and laugh." Teacher Liu Zhenji asked Yu Sihai to say hello to me, and Minister Yu promised to consider transferring me to the office of the Organization Department, but there was no follow-up. I really don't know what to do, I can't be cheeky and ask for it, and I can't give money and gifts at every turn, right? ”

Li Zhongfu lowered his voice and said: "This Yu Sihai has a very big background, **, it is estimated that being the head of the organization is just a transition." Mr. Liu is currently a director, and he can't play a key role, so you have to rely on yourself. Climbing on him, just like Zhu Huaijing climbing on Pideqiu, is really a great opportunity. ”

"How to climb? Where to start? Yuan Jinpeng spread out his hands and said.

Li Zhongfu said: "According to Xiamen Yuanhua Lao Lai, everyone has weaknesses. No matter how big an official is, he also has weaknesses, either he is greedy for money, or he is lustful, he loves talents, or he values family affection, etc. What kind of person Yu Sihai is, we don't know. However, I heard from the organization department that he is particularly fond of collecting old bamboo carvings, and has collected hundreds of them. ”

Yuan Jinpeng's heart moved: "Is that kind of bamboo carved pen holder?" I've seen it in the countryside before. ”

Li Zhongfu said: "Maybe, you can inquire about the specific situation." Haha, look at how we act like traitors. ”

Zhou Ziyuan laughed: "It's normal, the intellectuals of the Song and Ming dynasties have already entered history." ”

Yuan Jinpeng sighed: "It's really forced to survive!" ”

"How is it forced to survive, this is a big deal." Zhou Zi Dao.

"From afar, you are now in the insurance industry, with a high income, and you don't have to worry about it. Where is there a way out for me and Zhongfu, if we don't go to the next level in three or five years, we don't talk about real friends, even fake friends are getting fewer and fewer. People in officialdom know the world best, and it can't be done if you don't go up. The earlier you go, the greater the age advantage and the more space there is. After arriving in Qingchuan, I felt a heavy sense of crisis, and I was really forced to survive! Yuan Jinpeng said sincerely.

Li Zhongfu nodded: "It is indeed forced by survival, Jin Peng entered the role quickly, and he said everything from the bottom of his heart." I don't have a good feeling when I watch Chekov's "The Death of a Little Civil Servant" now. ”

Yuan Jinpeng took a sip of tea from the teacup, and then said: "Mixing in the administrative unit, it seems that the scenery is infinite, and only we know the taste. Speaking of which, I still admire Qiu Qingsong's choice, when he was transferred from the regional grain bureau, he first worked as a reporter in a newspaper, and then transferred to a publishing house last year to do the work he liked, and his income was very high. How can it be like us, the land of sorrow every day, always seeking for rice. ”

Zhou Ziyuan disagreed: "The most important thing in life is the choice of direction. Qiu Qingsong devotes himself to the cultural industry, I am ready to join the insurance industry, you work hard in the administrative unit, but from the perspective of situation and treatment, you may not be bad in the future, after all, the official position is the traditional mainstream culture, not to mention that your position will be different in a few years. ”

Li Zhongfu shook his head: "Society is in a period of drastic transformation, who can accurately predict the future?" The biggest crisis of being a civil servant is that once you get older, you are forced to change careers or be laid off. At that time, nothing could be done, and I was afraid that even the basic survival ability would be lost. ”

Maybe it was because he drank too much tea, and when he returned home and lay in bed, Yuan Jinpeng couldn't sleep. After Liu Zhenji called, he thought that someone from the Organization Department of the prefectural party committee would contact him, but he did not expect to move for a long time. Li Zhongfu's words today made him pause. It seems that he is too indecisive, Li Zhongfu has been by the leader's side for a long time, and he can see the idea when looking at the problem. Minister Yu may not be able to wipe his face and agree to Liu Zhenji, maybe he still has to observe him, maybe it is other reasons, but one thing is certain, you must do everything possible to take the initiative to contact Minister Yu, otherwise, the opportunity will be fleeting.
