At the end of the year, Wu Wei returned to society after graduation and was assigned to work in the bank of the Nenshui Administration. Wu Wei reported to the bank, the unit was not far from Wu Liang's house, so he went to his house to eat, and the bank rented a room in the guest house of the administrative office.

Nenshui City is located on the left bank of the Nenshui River and is named after the Nenshui River. Nenshui is one of the few rivers with the least pollution in China, which flows from north to south, and turns east to join the Songhua River after dozens of kilometers of Nenshui City. Nenshui City also has an alias, called Wind City, it is rumored that in the Kangxi period to approve the construction of the city, the original site was located in JX about five kilometers, the wood used to build the city was transported down from the upstream Daxing'an Mountains in the way of putting the river row, concentrated on the west bank of the adjacent site, I did not expect that the wind blew all the wood to Jiangdong overnight, and the officials in charge of building the city at that time simply built the new city in the current place, and Nenshui City was named Wind City. The local people jokingly say that the wind blows here twice a year, and once for half a year.

Wu Wei was arranged to sit at the same table with Ai Lian after work. Elaine, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, not tall, well-proportioned, face like a full moon, handsome eyes, small nose, ruddy lips, face pink and smooth, wearing a creamy yellow velvet coat, a cotton monkey hanging on the hook of the roll cabinet next to it, and a pink cotton wool scarf scarf around the collar. When the supervisor Ren Dao led Wu Wei to introduce her table by table, he said that this is Ai Lian, you are facing her at the table, and when the two of them held hands, Wu Wei smelled a faint sense of untold odor. After introducing other colleagues, Wu Wei came to his seat near the window, backed by the filing cabinet assigned to him, and finally could sit in the office to work, and a sense of happiness arose. He took out the pen and book he had brought from his backpack and put it on the table, and sat down to take a look at the interior of the office. At this time, the smell became clear and strong, this was a taste that he had never had, and he wondered, where did it come from, so he looked at the desktop in front of him first, and then looked down at the bottom of his desk, which was empty. When she raised her head, it was naturally Ai Lian, and it happened that Ai Lian stood up and turned around and took out a stack of reports from the roll cabinet and put them on the table, a fragrant breeze came to her nose, and Wu Wei found that the source of the taste came from the opposite table. Ai Lian got up again, passed by Wu Wei, went to the roll cabinet behind him to take the materials stacked on it, and felt the fragrance come to her nose suddenly. For a while, I felt that I was shrouded in a faint fragrance, I couldn't help but blush, a sense of shyness came to my heart, and my shy head didn't dare to raise it, it became a sense of oppression, and I found a suitable release space in the oppression, and I flipped through the stack of business materials that Ren Dao took over, first familiarized with it, and then picked up the "Capital" I brought to read it, and wrote some experiences in my notebook while reading. A few days passed like this.

The interpersonal relationships in the office gradually became familiar, Ren Dao, Ai Lian and Wu Wei are in the same section, responsible for currency management and savings business, there are Lao Li Tou, the business basket of the credit department, Yun Fei, who can speak kindly, and Guangfu, who is unwilling to squeak, and then there are Lao Xu and Shirley in the accounting department.

Ai Lian's father is a director of the prefectural party committee, and her mother is the director of a department of the Women's Federation. She is younger than others, so it's not good to call her by her name, let's call Sister Ai, if you don't call it, you will blush first, and male colleagues who are older than her can only call her by her name, and Ai Mei is not easy to export. She herself often laughs at herself, my name is not a good abbreviation, there is no way, and I can't change my surname. I also complained about why my ancestors had this surname, and how my father gave me this name. Putting the surname and the first name together, I think about it, sometimes my face is also feverish, Elaine is not in love, I want to change my surname and change my name, but I think that I am still a woman when I change it, so I don't have any thoughts. When everyone heard this, they all laughed and said, I didn't expect your name to cause you so much trouble and cause trouble for others. It's all about talking, but it's nothing.

What embarrassed Wu the most was that Ai Lian sat opposite and sprayed perfume with grease and powder, and there was a burst of fat powder fragrance. This is not like the smell in the rural horse pen, cattle pen, pigsty, chicken coop, or the hot earthy smell in the social industrial brick kiln, this is a high-grade cosmetic smell, a bit like the smell of gasoline, some people can't smell it, can't stand the smell, want to be allergic to vomit, but some people feel good. The four modernizations have not yet been seen, but they have smelled the smell of modernization first, and this smell will make people addicted, and even think about it. Wu Wei was educated in his bones to tell himself that this is an authentic bourgeois decadent and erosive lifestyle, and he has seen it in movies in the past, but he has only heard the sound of humming, but he has never smelled such a good fragrance and aroma with his nose, or he would not hate to criticize the decadent and corrupt lifestyle of the bourgeoisie, how can rotten things smell like fragrance. It's no wonder that so many people are addicted to the rotten and erosive lifestyle, and they are busy day and night. Anyway, the smell of it is confusing.

Wu Wei thought of this, and felt a little annoyed, often got up and walked out of the office to walk in the corridor, or simply ran downstairs to dilute the air of nature, and he couldn't always run out, and he had to study, study and work. Ai Lian seemed to see Wu Wei's thoughts, and thought, this kid is struggling with the fragrance and fragrance he exudes, see how this kid can pass this level. Although there are not many people in the office, each with its own flavor, Wu Wei didn't expect that the first thing he encountered was the fragrant aroma.

It smelled bad, he thought to himself, how could the people in the office not react to this, how could the office allow Elaine to behave like this.

Sure enough, the forty-year-old section chief of the personnel department, the queen, called her over, Xiao Ai, come to my office. This Ai Lian saw that the head of the personnel section came to talk to her, and thought that she was going to be promoted, and she suddenly became excited, her heart beat and her face flushed, in the past, Ai Lian's mother had intimately chatted with Section Chief Wang about this topic, nothing more than to ask for more attention. It's not easy for an office person to say anything, but the grassroots people below came to see Elaine's style, and discussed, how did your office become a boudoir, maybe you are willing to smell that smell, addicted, reform and opening up, the atmosphere has changed, and the fragrance has blown into your office. The people in the office couldn't stand this, and some people reported it to the bank leader, and the president asked the queen section chief to talk to Elaine. The man who is the head of Section Wang is the secretary of the prefectural party committee, and he is very sophisticated, and he and Ai Lian are the same generation as his father, so he can speak casually, but he still took a lot of thought about topics like this, and he didn't want to hurt Ai Lian's self-esteem.

Section Chief Wang asked her to sit on the sofa, and then said with a smile, I see that you are very energetic, and you look like a peugeot, revealing your spirit, and you can pick it up and put it down at work, and you can speak and do things very quickly, and others can't tell what it is. With such a boast, Elaine listened with a smiling face, and her face became more and more brilliant when she heard these words, like a blooming flower.

Unexpectedly, Section Chief Wang frowned, not to say that it was a conditioned reflex of Ai Lian's pungent fragrance, or disgusted with her behavior, and said, going to work is not like getting together with friends at home, you can apply grease and powder to draw eyebrows and phoenixes, the president asked me to talk to you, saying that the comrades from the grassroots level have a discussion about your dress and makeup.

When Ai Lian heard this, she did not get angry and plead as Section Chief Wang expected, but said with a helpless look, Section Chief Wang, I don't want me to be like this, and I understand that it shouldn't be like this in the office. However, I have my own troubles.

When Section Chief Wang heard this, she still had any troubles, so she said, then tell me where your suffering is, I want to hear it, can I help you solve it.

Elaine continued, when I was a teenager, I had a strange disease, my face was itchy and pimples, I went to many hospitals and thought it was a general pimple. I was anxious for my parents and my parents, and I was very distressed myself, so I buckled my face with my hand when I was anxious, and I wanted to tear off a piece of face, so that my face would be scratched and messed up even more ugly.

Section Chief Wang listened to it and said very understandingly, yes, a beautiful girl, it is normal to have pimples, but after that period of time, it will slowly disappear automatically, not only does it not disappear, but it can't be removed with medication, how did a very handsome girl get this strange disease, if my girl is like this, I will be anxious.

Ai Lian said, Xie Lu Xie Wang understood the understanding, and continued, It's even weirder, my aunt led my cousin from S City to my house, heh, my cousin brought a lot of rouge powder puff perfume cosmetics that I haven't seen before, and I never use this thing, just wipe it with alabaster. When my cousin was putting on makeup in the bathroom, I stood by curiously and watched, and my cousin said to me, you can also use it, it may be good for your face, or you can cover it and press it, and then it may not look so obvious. Originally, I didn't want to use it, but I thought that it couldn't be cured with medicine, and I went to the doctor if I was sick, and besides, girls were naturally interested in that kind of thing, so I thought I'd give it a try, and if I didn't try well, it wouldn't hurt anything. But think about it, can you still go to school after putting on makeup, and will sitting in the classroom affect others? My cousin sneered and said, what age is it, you are still such an old hat here, our girls there are more than using this brand and that brand, this is the nature of girls to love beauty, who wants to say who goes. Then he pointed to those cosmetics and said, I used all French famous brands. After that, whether I agreed or not, he picked up the puff and threw it on my face, and then picked up the perfume bottle and sprayed it on my face and neck. My face began to feel itchy, and soon I felt panic again, there was a stinging sensation, and the stinging pain made my heart panic, a bit like the feeling of spilling salt noodles on my face, and I was stinging, and I felt unspeakably uncomfortable. I said, this thing is not allergic to me.

My cousin looked at my expression and asked with some concern, how do you feel, how do I see you uncomfortable? I said, how do I feel a burst of heart-piercing discomfort. My cousin was also scared when she heard it, but don't make a big fuss, it was originally a pimple, don't become a big bag again, and she said that she was so anxious that she cried.

I comforted her in turn, saying that it doesn't matter, I can't blame you for any problems, and you are also kind to me. As I spoke, the complicated sensations on my face gradually lightened, and I gently stroked them with my hand, feeling that the pimples were a little shriveled. As soon as my cousin heard this, she turned her sorrow into joy, so she observed it for a while. The two of us were laughing, and I touched my face with my hand uneasily, which was really strange, the scabbed bumps actually fell off, and the face seemed to have become much smoother and smoother, almost the same as before the illness. Looking in the mirror again, my cousin shouted next to me, "Wow, okay, great," while clapping her hands, "Great, great, I've cured you." It's amazing, he shouted and ran out of the bathroom and into the living room. My mother and aunt were talking about how to cure my illness, and when they heard the shouting, they laughed and said, "Look at the two children crazy, and I don't know how to worry." As soon as I heard what my cousin said, I also hurried to the bathroom, and I was really happy when I saw it.

A few days later, my aunt and cousin left, leaving all the cosmetics for me, and jokingly saying that maybe there is a home remedy for your face. I saw that I was okay and stopped. However, within a few days, they grew again, and the pimples were larger and more numerous than before. This made us anxious, my parents were anxious to go to the hospital, and complained that we were messing around. I said, why don't you just try it again with the cosmetics left by my cousin, it really works. Since then, my face has been inseparable from cosmetics, which is medically called drug dependence, a bit like drug addiction, but I call it beauty dependence. Later, it was found that the more irritating the cosmetics, the better, and they can't be thrown off. When I went to school, the homeroom teacher was like you, talking to me, and I told the teacher about the situation, and I said that I didn't love beautiful pictures as much as the teacher thought, and ruined the class style, school spirit, and I was curing the disease. Of course, the teacher didn't believe it, how could there be cosmetics to cure pimples, and suspected that I was a pretext. I told the teacher about the process, and the teacher was surprised. Unexpectedly, my classmates, especially the male classmates, were also dependent, dependent on me, ah, no, to be exact, dependent on the fragrance I emanated. I occasionally miss class, my male classmates can't smell the fragrance on my face, they become unsettled, they don't sit, they don't sit, they don't sit, they seem to have lost their souls, they can't listen well to class, and the grades of the whole class drop. As soon as I went, everyone was at ease. My illness became dependent on perfume and cosmetics, and my male classmates became dependent on the fragrance I exuded, which is a bit like a chain of dependence, which is difficult to solve. Some female classmates can't say whether they are jealous or jokes, and spoofed at those male classmates, you always have a time to break up after graduation, see what you do after graduation, it is impossible for you to follow Ai Lian wherever she goes, unless you marry her, so many of you can't marry her alone. The female classmates were not willing to be lonely, and when they saw the male classmates circling around me, they followed suit, and for a while they made up the wind, and then like the wind, the smell filled the schools in the city, and I heard that it later spread to the factory offices. You can't blame me for this, they don't wear makeup like me, they just love beauty. It's really weird, my lover is my classmate, he is too dependent on me, not only at school, can't do without me, he can't stand it when he goes home, he just can't do without the fragrance I emit, he later said that it was because of this that he chased me.

Section Chief Wang listened curiously to Ai Lian's story, breathed a sigh of relief, and then sympathized, It's really difficult for you, so let's do it, I'll report your situation to the president, explain the situation, don't have an undue misunderstanding of you because of this. Besides, you can't be assigned a separate office because of this, it won't be a disguised promotion. I can't put you and those female colleagues in one office, there is not such a big office, and it is not convenient to work. Hearing you say this, I took it upon myself, those male colleagues in your office don't have that kind of dependence on you, if someone chases you, it's not easy to do, especially other female colleagues, especially the younger ones, don't follow your example, it's easy to make a mess, and the agency is not an agency.

When Ai Lian heard this, she didn't expect that she would make the problem so complicated, and she wondered, no.

Section Chief Wang's worries aroused Elaine's concerns, and Elaine's concerns did not become a reality. This matter is not easy for Section Chief Wang to do in a crowded manner, so he will gather everyone seriously or take the opportunity of the meeting to explain the situation to everyone, and the truth of the matter is gradually known to everyone. Ailian's fragrance is a medicine to cure diseases, not a tempting devil, male colleagues, including the young Wu Wei, understand the truth and feel really changed, the fragrance is a fragrance can feel like a medicinal smell, and naturally feel less pungent and attractive, female colleagues, originally germinated the idea of emulating Ailian, but as soon as they heard that she was for healing, they were worried that they would be regarded as sick by men, so they naturally dispelled that kind of thought, and the male and female colleagues here have gained immunity to the fragrance, and there is no story caused by the fragrance. The perfume dependence that has been spread by Elaine has been spread, but it continues to spread in society, and there is something going on, anyway, it has nothing to do with Elaine, what should Elaine do.

As soon as Elaine's perfume incident subsided, the husband of the queen's section chief was promoted to deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and she was also promoted to be the director of the provincial party committee organization department. Wu Wei shook the hand of the new secretary and felt strange, why was this man's hand so soft, like a cotton sleeve. Later, Xiao Shi, who was transferred from the administrative department, said to himself that the new secretary of the prefectural party committee was very capable, and he had been calling those standing committee members and commissioners, but he had been soaking in the guest house all day long, and if he hadn't had the problem of digging his body, he would have been transferred to the central government a long time ago. Wu Wei listened to it and wondered, how could such a big leader have this habit like Secretary Li and Director Xie of the social-run industry.

Wu Wei likes theory and does theory, and the office subscribes to a wealth of theoretical journals and newspapers, almost everything, very much to his taste, he devotes himself to crazy reading and keeps taking notes, feeling the bath of the spring breeze of reform. But there are not so many theories about the people around me, they are all miscellaneous things. Because the new office building has not been delivered, the director of the office of housing tension is also working in the same room. Director Hou of the office often shouted when he saw that the newcomer Wu Wei was young, Xiao Wu, go to deliver the liquefied gas tank, he didn't understand what was going on, so he followed the people out, it turned out that the unit was responsible for the gas for the workers' families. After sending a lap, he didn't sit down yet, and he called him to buy a ticket for an old governor who came from below. At first, he thought that the director trusted him, and the third thing was to divide rice, and there was him, so he was ashamed of his self-inflicted feelings, and understood that it was not that people trusted him, but that he was the youngest, and people treated him as a small beater, a handyman, and was on call. His interest is not here, why is it not good to refuse at first, but it is not very happy, people call him again to see that he is not like the beginning, no matter what he is doing, he hears the shouting and raises his ass and leaves, he also knows that he can't stiffen the relationship because he is unwilling to do it, he pretends to be in a state of flux and deliberately looks at the book a few more times, obviously he has already stood up and has to browse again, Lao Hou saw that although he was stubborn, but he couldn't help but call him, but when he shouted again, he was embarrassed and timid, this is not a school, not a place for specialized learning, but learning is a serious matter after all, especially for studious young people, it seems a bit cheap to always use chores to impact interference, and Wu Wei's response has a bit of wits and fun. Wu Wei has been here for a while, and his work and life are basically ready, so he is worried about his parents going home to see, and he will take the train back to Hebian Town on Sunday.
