Chapter 9: Facing the Odds and Taking Responsibility

Chen Yongnian picked up the water cup that Yuan Xiaosheng had filled, touched it on his lips, it was still a little hot, put the water cup on the table again, and said with a smile: "Not bad, it seems that Secretary Zhao has a good impression of you." Do a good job, and you will definitely have a future in the future. ”

Yuan Xiaosheng hurriedly said: "This is all the result of your education, Director Chen. After a little silence, he continued: "There is one more thing, I want to report to you, when I met Secretary Zhao just now, Secretary Zhao said that he wanted me to be his correspondent." ”

Chen Yongnian's face immediately sank, he didn't speak for a long time, he put the water cup on his lips several times, but he couldn't drink it because it was too hot, so he had to take the cup in his hand and turn it back and forth.

"Xiaosheng, you have to think clearly. There is an essential difference between being a correspondent in a township and not being a secretary in a county. After a slight pause, he asked, "Do you know the specific work of the correspondent?" ”

Yuan Xiaosheng was silent for a moment and said modestly: "I don't know it very well, but I basically know it, that is, I clean Secretary Zhao and Mayor Fu every day, and then I help Secretary Zhao and Mayor Fu do some groceries." I don't know if I'm right? ”

Chen Yongnian nodded and said, "That's basically the work." But let me tell you, in the past, there were no civil servants in the correspondents, and they generally found a ten-year-old young man from the society to deal with it. Most of them don't work for a few years and leave. And the communicator in the township is a thankless messenger. For example, there is a certain limit to the reception fruits prepared by the office, but some people in the agency are always unconscious and always want to put them in their pockets, and this supervision work correspondent must do. But to put it bluntly, the correspondent himself is soft-spoken and can't control it. If you talk to others, you will be scratched if you don't get it right. You have to think clearly, don't offend all the people in the agency because of this job, and delay your future. ”

What Chen Yongnian said is true, the former correspondents were often sued because they always refused to let others take things like fruits, and the party committee secretaries and township chiefs didn't like it. Of course, if someone sues you for blackness, they won't say that you won't let him take the fruit. They'll come up with a lot of other reasons. For example, some deputy mayors will tell the party secretary that the correspondent often loses his newspaper and is not responsible at all. The work that I let me do is also pushing, and it is not good to do it. Of course, the party secretary will have prejudices against correspondents. Therefore, the fate of the correspondent in the township is generally very miserable. Chen Yongnian can be regarded as a kindness, and he didn't take the original Xiaosheng into the ditch.

"Thank you, Director Chen, for reminding me to pay more attention to this aspect when I work in the future." Yuan Xiaosheng nodded, and continued: "In the future, if there is anything wrong with what I do, I will ask Director Chen to give me more advice and criticism." ”

Of course, Chen Yongnian also knew that since Zhao Xuedong had already decided on something, no one would be able to change it. If you say this yourself, you are just playing tricks and ending up in front of Yuan Xiaosheng. After all, Yuan Xiaosheng will be a close minister by Zhao Xuedong's side in the future, and Yuan Xiaosheng has education and ability, Zhao Xuedong will definitely not treat Yuan Xiaosheng as an ordinary correspondent. If Yuan Xiaosheng doesn't say something about him in front of Zhao Xuedong, I'm afraid that he, the director of the office, will also have a hard time.

The next day happened to be Thursday, and in the morning, as usual, a regular meeting of all the staff of the agency was held. Since the autumn harvest has just passed, there is nothing going on in the office. The meeting was presided over by Li Qingshui, the secretary of the political work, as usual, Zhao Xuedong did not come up after the party committee meeting, although the township chief Fu Ying sat on the rostrum, but also rarely spoke, her habit is when Li Qingshui spoke, with a pair of big and somewhat exaggerated eyes in the venue, so that the male compatriots sitting below want to get into the wrong. Her eyes are a bit outrageous, it's not nice to say, it's more like the eyes of some animals, which makes people feel very simple. Even when she was in the hall of the meeting, she would not see what Yang's scheming she would have, giving everyone the feeling that she was performing Chen Yongnian's job duties and counting the number of people.

Fu Ying is not very tall, but the impression is completely inconsistent with his actual height. Some people privately said that the reason why Fu Ying can give everyone such an impression is mainly because Fu Ying has a big buttocks, long legs, high chest, beautiful shoulders, and a long neck.

However, Fu Ying gives everyone the impression that she is still very stable, she rarely jokes with people casually, and her dress is fundamentally different from Nan Suqin's, the skirt that Nan Suqin wears in summer, when the wind blows slightly, it will become Marilyn Monroe wearing a miniskirt, and the black or pure flesh-colored leggings will be exposed. In order to show his beautiful long legs, Nan Suqin seems to have a soft spot for miniskirts, and since the beginning of summer, a miniskirt has been passed until the beginning of autumn, and the weather is too cold to change it.

Fu Ying doesn't wear it like that, she always wears a suit, wraps her body tightly, and occasionally wears a skirt, which is also the kind of professional skirt, plus opaque flesh-colored stockings, which looks a bit stereotyped.

Despite this, Fu Ying's story is far more than Nan Suqin's story. Because everyone always wonders how a female doll who is less than thirty years old can become a village chief. Although there is nothing inconsistent with the policy, it is not in line with practice and so-called common sense. From the bottom of his heart, almost no one in the agency wants to believe that Fu Ying became the head of the township through the exam. Everyone would rather believe that Fu Ying is a deeply hidden enchantress who captured a certain heavyweight leader in the county by betraying her hue, and then stepped into the position of leader, perhaps because of her oversized eyes, which fascinated the mind of a certain leader. Otherwise, why didn't Nan Suqin, the daughter of a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and the executive deputy county magistrate, become the head of the township?

This is a bull's horn problem and a complete paradox. Because this kind of statement can also be said in reverse: If there are any unspoken rules, then why doesn't Nan Zhenhai get a township chief for his daughter. However, everyone still prefers to believe that this is a kind of unspoken rule energy and another kind of unspoken rule energy against the winner or loser.

Maybe this is the psychology of perverted officialdom. For the weak, such as lesbians in power, rumors always follow. Perhaps only in this way, the reason why a woman is made to be the head of the township is not because of the incompetence of the man, but because the woman betrays the hue that the man himself does not have. Congenital insufficiency, helpless. In this way, I can get some psychological comfort.

Of course, no one can say what is going on with Fu Ying. Fu Ying is never obliged to explain to everyone, let alone explain to everyone. Once explained, there are no three hundred taels of silver here, and the result is that the watermelon skin wipes the buttocks, and the more you wipe it, the dirtier it gets.

Although Li Qingshui was sitting on the rostrum to speak, the eyes of the people below were all on Fu Ying. Of course, as soon as Fu Ying's big eyes swept over, everyone would immediately lower their heads and pretend to take notes very seriously. It's just that the notebook in my hand has been used for many years, and I haven't even written half of it.

There was no work to be arranged at today's regular meeting, so Li Qingshui talked in general about the routine work of letters and visits, security, and duty, and then announced the matter of Yuan Xiaosheng as a correspondent at the meeting.

Yuan Xiaosheng thought that when he heard that he was going to be a correspondent, there would definitely be an uproar in the agency, but he didn't expect that after Li Qingshui finished speaking, everyone would be the same as arranging a regular job, there was no difference, and there was still a blank expression on his face. But it's good that people don't call you stupid, or say that you have some intentions.

It's just that after Li Qingshui finished speaking, Fu Ying stayed on Yuan Xiaosheng's face for a few seconds, and nodded with a smile. Yuan Xiaosheng couldn't figure out what Fu Ying meant, so the surname Suo simply didn't think about him.

Of course, not everyone's gaze is demented. At least Nan Suqin's expression changed a lot, he looked at Yuan Xiaosheng with incomprehensible eyes for a long time without saying a word, and it was not until the end of the meeting that Nan Suqin touched Yuan Xiaosheng's head and popped out a sentence: "Xiaosheng, you don't have a fever." How did you remember to be a correspondent? Did Zhao Xuedong's bastard let you do it? This is too bullying, it's okay if the deputy stock is not promoted, and you want to be a bullshit correspondent for him, doesn't this understand the bad people. Nan Suqin was upset for Yuan Xiaosheng, and her expression was a little excited.

Although Yuan Xiaosheng hid the bamboo in his chest, he couldn't point out the reason for Nan Suqin, after all, this time he went to the city to participate in the cadre training class, Nan Suqin was one of his fierce rivals, and smiled: "Thank you for your concern, but it doesn't matter, what kind of work is not the same." I'm not the same in the office now, and I'm also doing chores. ”

Nan Suqin immediately retorted: "Can it be the same, the office is at least for writing materials, and it can be regarded as doing the best of one's talents, and being a correspondent is simply doing odd jobs." What do you make people think of you? I think you're crazy. If you don't dare to tell Zhao Xuedong, I'll tell him to go. I don't believe it, there are such a whole person. Nan Suqin said, looking angry. made Yuan Xiaosheng feel a little embarrassed, people treat themselves like this, but he has been hiding the truth from others, which is indeed a bit inauthentic. But at this juncture, what can I do? Nan Suqin lost this opportunity, there will be many opportunities in the future, after all, he is the executive deputy county magistrate, even if he does not go to any cadre training class, it is a matter of time before he wants to be promoted to the position of deputy township head, and if he misses this opportunity, it will be difficult to win it in the future.

Things in officialdom are hard to tell. Take the matter of the city's cadre training class as an example, who can say that the city is not making a show for the above. In recent years, the county has always decided on the promotion and appointment of cadres in the county itself, and a cadre training class has been created for no reason, and it has been clearly stipulated that after participating in this cadre training class, after returning to the county, he will be directly promoted to the deputy section. Obviously, this kind of thing is just a show for the city to show the above, and explain its strength and determination to promote young cadres. As for whether it will be done in the future, it may be very small. This time, if a county promotes so many deputy departments at once, it will inevitably occupy the number of places in the county for a period of time to come, and the balance of relations in the county will definitely be affected to a certain extent.

Therefore, whether or not he can win this place is very important to Yuan Xiaosheng's officialdom career. Even sacrificing Nan Suqin is a matter of course.

Although Yuan Xiaosheng repeatedly emphasized that he was willing to be this correspondent, he could not stop Nan Suqin's endless nagging and grievances. Yuan Xiaosheng had no choice but to let it go.
