The rain became heavier and heavier, like an opening in the sky.

The pouring rain made it difficult for pedestrians on the road to see, and they rushed home in a hurry.

In an old town in the center of Suyun City, there is an old barber shop that has been open for decades in the alley.

The 50-year-old grandson looked at the heavy rain outside the store through the glass door, and the howling wind blew his signboard crackling non-stop. Yellow-haired, he tightened his thin clothes, as if he was afraid that the wind would break through the glass door at any moment and knock him over.

"No one should come." The old grandson's voice echoed freely in the small barbershop.

But having said that, the old grandson still stared at the door, his eyes full of anticipation.

It is rare that in such bad weather, there are actually two customers with umbrellas who wade into the water one foot deep and one foot shallow.

As soon as they rushed to the eaves, put away their umbrellas and shook their heads and cursed each other for the unlucky weather, the old grandson couldn't wait to open the door of the store to greet them.

The old grandson respectfully took the umbrella of the two and leaned against the corner to dry, and then happily asked one of the tall men in his thirties, "Did Mr. Zhou get a haircut today?" ”

Zhou Hao laughed, and after exchanging glances with his companions, he teased: "Old grandson, you are so funny." Of course, we're here to get a haircut, but are we here to eat? Ha ha! ”

A sincere smile appeared on the wrinkled face of the old grandson, he turned around and cleaned the chair and asked Zhou Hao to sit down.

saw Zhou Hao waving his hand, and humbly let his companion get it first. "Lao Tian, you first! You have to rush home to accompany your wife later, I'm not in a hurry anyway. ”

Lao Tian, who was a few years older, smiled and nodded unceremoniously: "Then I'm welcome...... Boss, wash my hair first. My hair is full of rain. ”

The old grandson agreed diligently, and hurriedly ran to the side to turn on the gas in the water tank. Try that the water temperature is almost the same, and immediately beckon Lao Tian to come over.

After washing his hair, the old grandson carefully wiped his hair with a towel. When he sat down, he put on a thin plastic coat and pulled out scissors and a razor for his haircut.

Lao Tian looked at it curiously: "Hey, don't you use electric faders?" ”

Lao Sun Tou explained with a smile while sharpening the razor: "After decades of craftsmanship, I am not used to using electric ones. Squinting at a pair of presbyopia, he raised his shiny razor and nodded in satisfaction after sampling it in the light. He immediately smiled and said, "It's still easy to use this homely thing without a voice." ”

"It's pretty special. There are hardly any barbershops today that don't use electric clippers. ”

Zhou Hao on the side replied: "Lao Tian, you can rest assured." You can't go wrong with this store I introduced. I've been getting a haircut here for over a decade. Not only is it good here, but it's also cheap. ”

Turning his head to the old grandson, he said, "Boss, his money will be mine in a while." Lao Tian, you're welcome, you can just leave after you finish sorting. ”

"That's embarrassing. It's not like I don't have money. ”

"What's polite, it's all small money. We are classmates, and if we have a rare opportunity, let me invite them once. ”

"Haha, then you're welcome." Lao Tian laughed, turned his head to look at the razor in Lao Suntou's hand cutting his hair quickly and accurately, and nodded appreciatively: "Sure enough, the craftsmanship is good." Just give me a simple haircut. Boss hurry up a bit, I'm going to get home in time for dark. ”

"Don't worry, I know." Old Sun Tou smiled understandingly, glanced at Zhou Hao next to him, and said, "I'll finish it here and I'll get to you right away." You wait a minute, it'll be fine. Mr. Zhou, should I go read some newspapers first? ”

"No, no." Zhou Hao moved a chair and sat next to him, looking in the mirror, looking at Lao Tian in the mirror and starting to talk: "The training will end in a few days." Did Lao Tian think about where to go? ”

Lao Tian smiled and said, "Where are you going?" Like you, I just passed the civil service exam. Where to report after the training, it is not necessary to listen to the organization's arrangement. In fact, it's the same everywhere, isn't it all about serving society? ”

Zhou Hao laughed, blinked and said, "Lao Tian, it's not kind for you to say that." Although we are all in the same class, I know that your uncle is the leader of the Personnel Bureau. If there is no one today, you can tell me the bottom and help me find the way. Hehe, I will never forget your kindness. ”

Lao Tian smiled calmly: "You know a lot...... However, even my uncle really can't do anything about it. Like we are all newcomers, it is not your turn to pick where to go. If you want to work for a while in the future, you may still be able to have some autonomy. Xiao Zhou, you ask this, have you already thought of where to go? ”

Zhou Hao smiled: "I didn't think about it either." It's not like a headless fly, asking around. ”

Lao Tian looked at him through the mirror, but he didn't believe what he said, and smiled with a city in his eyes. Suddenly, he asked, "There is a man named Zhang Liang in our class, do you know?" ”

"Zhang Liang!" Zhou Hao shook his head and sighed: "Lao Tian, did you mean it?" Don't talk about our class, who in Shuiyun City doesn't know Zhang Liang now? I'm just going to have him lucky! That day, I felt suspicious when I saw him suddenly rush out of the classroom for some reason. It's all my fault that I didn't have the vigilance to go out with him and ask. I can also take some freshness. ”

"Oh, yes." Lao Tian also echoed and sighed: "I won't hide it from you." The last time I heard from the leader of the organization department at the dinner, someone above had already spoken, and Zhang Liang's assignment had already been decided. Where to go, you never guess! ”

"Where are you going?" Zhou Hao looked at Lao Tian with a blank look, and saw that the latter was just smiling and silent, and suddenly said urgently: "Lao Tian, you have said everything to this point, and you are reluctant to say it all?" ”

"Review and Construction Bureau!"

"Examination and Construction Bureau?!" Zhou Hao was stunned when he heard this, and said in a daze: "Can you be assigned to the Examination and Construction Bureau?" That's a fat mouth! After thinking about it, he said again: "The Examination and Construction Bureau is not a civil servant, right?" Something is wrong with him going there this time? ”

Lao Tian shook his head and smiled and stretched out his finger and said, "You are wrong." The CRA also has the status of a civil servant. However, there is only one position that qualifies for status...... Managing director! ”

"Director?! His first assignment was the director of the Bureau of Examination and Construction?! Zhou Hao stuck out his tongue: "But according to the merits he made this time, it is indeed enough." Merely...... This first jump to the director is also a little scary. Don't you worry that the people below will not be convinced? ”

Lao Tian simply opened the box in his heart and said bluntly: "I also asked my uncle." I heard that there was a bureau leader behind him to protect him. Although he didn't go directly to the position of director this time, when he came out again, it would be the director's shelf. ”
