Chen Jing, 25 years old, graduated from Chujiang Normal University in 1997, majoring in applied education.

Work experience: 1997.7-1998.3 worked in the office of the Provincial People's Congress, from March 1998 to the present, he has been the deputy director of the County Forestry Bureau in Lihe County, Degao City, Chujiang Province......

Crushing the latest "Degao Daily", the muscles on Chen Jing's handsome face trembled slightly, his originally red lips were very blue today, and his face was gloomy and terrifying.

25 years old is a young and energetic age, Chen Jing has always been an optimistic person, but the tribulations of life have gradually turned all his optimism and vision for the future into gloom and confusion in the past few years.

At that time, the most well-known talent and the hardest pen of Chujiang Normal University have now fallen to Lihe County, the most remote part of Chujiang. The so-called talent that he used to be most proud of is no longer as cheap as dung.

He is a sour and rotten scholar, he is so different in the remote county of Lihe, and his sense of superiority as a literary and artistic youth in a big city is vulnerable in front of these old things that have become fine in Lihe.

After only two years of devolved training, he was exhausted, and he was injured everywhere.

There is no place to vent the grievances in his stomach, there is no place to use his strength, and there is no room for his thoughts to be exerted.

He thinks he is great, but in the eyes of others he is nothing, and he even finds that he is completely out of step with the work and life circle he is in now, and he seems to be unable to fit into this worldly world......

Lihe County is located in the northern part of Chujiang Province and is a remote mountainous area famous for its fame.

Sitting in Chen Jing's office, he can clearly see the water of the Li River flowing eastward not far away.

At this time, the spring tide of the Li River is rolling, full of vitality and urging people to forge ahead.

But all this fell into Chen Jing's eyes, and what he was thinking about in his mind was what would happen if he fell into this river......

He was thinking crankily, he thought that if he jumped into the river like this, would there be this news in the Lihe News tomorrow? How many people will know about this?

Smiling self-deprecatingly, Chen Jing closed the curtain with one hand and deeply exhaled a breath of turbidity in his heart.

"Ding, Ding......"

The phone rings.

Chen Jing grabbed the phone and said in a familiar voice: "Ah Jing, I've heard about you, I'm really sorry for you!" Your business capabilities are the best, how can this be the result? ”

The caller was his best friend Fan Jiang in college. Faced with this problem, Chen Jing felt bitter in his heart, and it could be said that he was speechless!

Fan Jiang eats mixed rice in the provincial capital, and is not an insider in the system. But because of Chen Jing, he is quite concerned about the affairs within the system, and in the past few years, Chen Jing has been exiled, and it is also thanks to Fan Jiang's enlightenment, otherwise his state may be worse.

"Old Fan, thank you for your call! What can the business ability be used for in these years? There is nothing to be aggrieved about! Chen Jingdao, he tried his best to slow down his tone, pretending that nothing happened.

"Huh? Listening to your tone, it's a little enlightening, what? What I couldn't figure out before can now be figured out? ”

"Figure it out!" Chen Jing couldn't help but burst into foul language, "Okay, okay!" Lao Tzu is in a bad mood, you let me be alone ......"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this topic, let's talk casually......"

“……”

At the end of a long phone call, perhaps because the conversation was unrestrained, Chen Jing's mood turned out to be better.

Someone once said that life is like a strong X, if you can't resist it, you have to try to adapt and enjoy.

Repeated discouragements and failures, Chen Jing has always been depressed, especially this time, the middle leaders of the public election of Degao Daily, and the cadres above the deputy section level in the city can sign up.

Chen Jing's pen is hard, and his articles are frequently published in newspapers, not to mention in Lihe County, but also in the entire Degao City, his articles are famous.

With such a foundation, plus Chen Jingzheng's key university diploma, plus two years of grassroots work experience, these are all unique conditions for entering the newspaper.

Chen Jing's public selection examination score was the second among all references.

All these conditions add up, and Chen Jing's entry into the German High Daily can be described as a sure thing.

The actual progress of things seems to be normal, and the Degao Daily even publicized Chen Jing's situation in the whole city, but the final appointment did not have Chen Jing's name.

The most frustrating thing for people is not that they can't get it, but that they almost get it.

Recently, Chen Jing's call for entering the Degao newspaper has been high, and in this small place of Lihe County, there are already many people who are preparing to make a trip for him.

Chen Jing is not popular in Lihe County, but if he can enter the city daily office, it is the mouthpiece unit of the municipal party committee, and people who know Chen Jing here in Lihe will naturally know how to be flexible.

Besides, Chen Jing is just a little arrogant.

This problem is called water chestnut on Chen Jing, if he changes his identity, he becomes a newspaper person, and he becomes a backbone again.

In these years, it is not easy to find a person with a strong character in the system, Chen Jing's temper is well-known in the city, and people like him write articles in the daily newspaper, which is very weighty, which can be regarded as a resource for Chen Jing, the only resource.

Chen Jing understands this, so in order to enter the newspaper, this time he is out of the way.

He is not as sour and rotten as it is rumored outside, in fact, even a lump of elm wood will change color if thrown into the Lihe officialdom for a few years, not to mention a big living person like Chen Jing?

In order to enter the newspaper, Chen Jing did the best in his own hardware, and he was ruthless and gave a gift of 5,000 yuan.

Chen Jing now has a salary of 718 yuan a month, and 5,000 yuan is his savings in the past few years.

After chatting with Fan Jiang for a while, Chen Jing hung up the phone and was in a slightly better mood.

Just then, the phone rang again.

Chen Jing picked up the phone again, and after listening to only one sentence, he stood up respectfully, lowered his voice and said, "Hello grandpa, why did you call here?" ”

A deep and deep voice on the other end of the phone: "Xiaojing, you read all the books I gave you last time?" ”

Chen Jing was stunned for a moment, when he thought of the book, he was nervous, and subconsciously opened the drawer, and at the top of the drawer was a copy of "Tongjianxue", which was one of the books that his grandfather asked him to read.

"Both...... I've seen it all, grandpa, don't worry when you're old! I'm fine here! Chen Jing is talking nonsense.

"Just look at it, I ask you, 'Between heaven and earth, what is it like a rock?'

Chen Jing buzzed in his head, he was stupid on the spot, he tried his best to use his brain, but for a while he really couldn't remember where this sentence came from.

He flipped through the books in the drawer with some poor skills, and when he saw the Tao Te Ching, he paused, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he stammered: "Void...... False...... Unyielding, moving...... Move...... Move...... And the more out. It is better to keep the middle than to talk too much. ”

He let out a long breath and relaxed.

And at this time, he finally understood his grandfather's thoughts, and his grandfather was using the words of the Tao Te Ching to comfort himself.

His heart warmed: "Grandpa, Xiaojing has been taught, my heart is indeed not good!" ”

"Haha!" The old man's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Xiaojing, you can realize that if you can't do it, you will make progress!" You've never said anything bad before, but if you say no today, it's progress, and I'm very happy! ”

"Alright, that's it for today! I won't bother you! ”

The blind sound of "beep, beep, beep" on the phone, but Chen Jing couldn't let go of the phone for a long time.

Grandpa is just a retired old teacher, but he can always give Chen Jing a lot of inspiration, and today's phone call has made Chen Jing feel like an empowerer.

After the great pain and severe pain, reflecting on his past at this moment, Chen Jing suddenly felt that his past was so unbearable, so incredible, it could be said that it was completely useless......

"Void but unyielding, moving and getting more and more. It's better to keep the middle ...... than to talk too much."

Chen Jing savored this sentence carefully, replaying the pictures of the past few years in his mind like a movie, his breathing changed from rapid to steady, and his mood changed from excited to calm......

……

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shines through the sky and onto the earth.

The early spring morning was still slightly cold, and Chen Jing rode his bicycle to work.

Lihe County Forestry Bureau is an old office building in the seventies, in the Lihe River many sections, bureaus, offices, the Forestry Bureau can only be regarded as medium, the worst place is located in the remote, located in the county Dongcheng District, usually this area is deserted, the door can be crowded.

"Director Chen, morning!"

The old man who was guarding the door got up and greeted Chen Jing.

Chen Jing waved his hand, nodded with a bright smile, and in Lao Zhang's stunned look, Chen Jing parked the car and entered the office building.

There are not many staff in the Forestry Bureau, there are more than 40 people in total, most of them are old fritters.

It doesn't matter, there is no ability, there is no ideal, and it is the best choice for people to enter the Forestry Bureau.

With such a group of people on the stall, where does Chen Jing, the deputy director, have prestige at all? At most, everyone shouted Chen Ju in front of them. When he turned his head, it was Xiao Chen, and some people even called Chen Xiaomao.

In the area of the Li River, Xiao Mao means Xiao Mao Child, and Chen Jing is a little Mao Child in the eyes of his colleagues.

Chen Jing passed by the bureau office, a group of old fritters were chatting and farting again, Chen Jing frowned, and went around directly to push his office away.

"Hello Director Chen!"

A clear voice sounded.

Chen Jing turned her head, a tall girl, fashionable water-milled jeans tightly wrapped a pair of slender legs, and wore a loose mature shirt on her upper body, which appropriately highlighted her plump breasts, revealing her sexiness in her dignity.

Wang Shan, the office secretary and the first beauty of the Forestry Bureau, is one year younger than Chen Jing.

"Hello!" Chen Jing nodded lightly.

Wang Shan, this woman Chen Jing is too familiar, when she first came, at the dinner, she frequently toasted Chen Jing.

Don't look at her delicate appearance, she drinks more than ordinary men, she and Chen Jing drink with admiration. At the age of 24, Chen Jing served as the deputy of the county science bureau, and in the eyes of people who don't know the truth, he can really be regarded as young and promising.

It's a pity that Chen Jing just wasted his fame.

In just one week, Wang Shan understood the role played by Chen Jing, and naturally that kind of admiration was gone, but instead of respect, he stayed away.

Chen Jing even felt that this woman's laughter contained a faint mockery many times.

"The director asked me to find you something!" Wang Shanjiao said in a coquettish voice, her willow eyebrows were slightly raised, and today actually gave people a sense of charm that she had not seen for a long time......
