If there is nothing special, Shiyan calls his hometown twice a week, once to his girlfriend who works at the county education bureau, and once to his father, who also lives in the county town and has retired. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After hearing the news that Shi Yan was borrowed to the headquarters office and might be transferred to Beijing to work, Shi Yan's girlfriend was very happy, and the place where Shi Yan would work next was very likely to be the place where she would work and live with the army in the future, and the conditions in the big city were better than the county seat in many aspects. Shiyan's father didn't seem to have any tendentious opinions about his son's work at the grassroots level or in the organs, but only said that "each has its own advantages and disadvantages." Shi Yan knew that in the mid-80s of the last century, the old man worked for several years in the leading organ of a military unit, and he was also a staff officer. For cadres whose loved ones are rural residents, the deputy battalion is a very important step, and the family members of the cadres at the deputy battalion level can join the army. However, just when Shi Yan's father was about to go through the formalities for his family to join the army, he was demoted, and he returned to his hometown to work as a regular cadre, and became an ordinary clerk in the county cotton and linen company. His father has been secretive about the details of the punishment, and Shi Yan only knows that it was because of a mistake in his work.

It should be a happy thing for a son to succeed his father, but his father's ambiguous attitude can only make Shi Yan think that he still has lingering feelings about the work of the organs, which belongs to the "sequelae" after being punished.

According to the approved plan, part of this year's business funds arranged for the ordering of some engineering safety equipment, mainly including important facilities of protective doors, ventilation doors and various locks, Liu Changhong told Shiyan that part of the product supplier is Manager Li and their company.

Shiyan was taken aback when he saw the planned product prices. When he was working in the grass-roots units, he took advantage of the self-purchase funds allocated to the grass-roots units by the organs, and also participated in the business work of purchasing safety equipment every year, so he was quite clear about the market situation.

"The price of security products ordered by the agency is about 5 to 10 percent higher than that of our grassroots troops." When Shi Yan was only in the office, he and Liu Changhong reminded the team leader.

Liu Changhong didn't show surprise, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "I know that the price of the goods ordered by the agency may be slightly higher than that of other places, but the comparability of some things is not strong, mainly because the brands of the products are different. ”

"Yes, it's a different brand, but only a sturdy and suitable product has a reason to set a higher price." Geng's stubborn genes play a role in Shiyan, and Liu Changhong feels that he is stubborn.

"Be specific." Liu Changhong tilted his head and said to Shiyan disdainfully.

"As far as I know, Manager Li's distribution of anti-theft locks made in Western Europe has a good reputation in the world, but it is not too applicable to us here, the domestic production of 800 yuan a pair of anti-theft locks, than their 1200 yuan a pair of use is more convenient, the anti-theft effect may be better, because the use of domestic products can 'make shoes with feet', the use of foreign products sometimes to' At present, there are a variety of safety ventilators on the market that have been identified by the national functional departments, the most expensive is only 800 yuan a square meter, and we plan to buy 980 yuan a square meter, this price is obviously high. Shiyan's attitude was sincere, and what he said was also well-founded.

Liu Changhong listened to Shi Yan's words, his face turned a little red, nodded, sighed and said: "The business of the organ is wide, some situations cannot be understood in such detail, the information you provide is very valuable, we just have a plan now, the contract with Manager Li has not been signed, and the price can be pressed again." However, there is another situation I also want to tell you, Manager Li is the person introduced by Minister Lin, and the secretary personally called me, we will do it in principle according to the laws of the market, and some relationships can be taken care of properly. ”

After listening to Liu Changhong's words, Shi Yan gave a big discount to his good impression.

The atmosphere in the office is a little dull these days, Li Xia and his girlfriend have gone through the emotional midsummer and are starting to gradually cool, although it is not yet eventful, but there is no fresh content to release. Liu Changhong took Li Xia and Shiyan to work overtime to prepare materials for Director Yang to report to Minister Lin.

Shiyan and Li Xia share a dormitory in a battalion unit, with one room for each person, and the kitchen and toilet are shared. It turned out that when Li Xia lived here alone, he didn't open a gang, he didn't cook, he had a bucket of eight-treasure porridge in the morning, a pack of instant noodles in the evening, and the things in the house were thrown in a mess, and there was no place for people to put their feet in.

Shi Yan worked an extra day in the office on Saturday, and just returned to the dormitory after dinner, he received a call from Manager Li.

"Staff Officer Shi, Staff Officer Li has something to do and went out again today, if you have nothing to do alone, let's go outside to have fun, relax, okay?"

Shi Yan felt strange and asked him: "How do you know my mobile phone number, and how do you know that Staff Officer Li is not there?" ”

"Is it the information age, what's so strange about that!"

Shi Yan thought that Manager Li must have said this to himself with a smile, and he refused without hesitation: "I'm sorry, I have to work overtime at night to make materials." ”

"Aren't the materials finished!"

"What do you want?" Shi Yan had a sense of shame of being watched, and he was disgusted by Manager Li's words just now, but now he was a little angry.

"Staff Officer Shi, don't be angry, I just want to deepen my relationship with you and make friends so that it will be conducive to our future cooperation."

Shi Yan calmed down and said in a soothing tone: "Manager Li, don't find the wrong person, I'm just a helper in this agency." ”

"I know this," Manager Li said, "This just shows that I am not a snob, and I don't care about the identity of the other party when making friends." ”

Shi Yan smiled, he didn't say the sentence "There are no silver three hundred taels here", but just said to the other party: "Thank you Manager Li for your trust in me, I don't have the habit of going out at night." ”

"Then it's not reluctant!" The other party said.

Li Xia didn't come back from outside until more than ten o'clock, and when Shiyan heard the sound of the door opening, he had already turned off the light and was lying on the bed.

After coming to the office, he still got up at five o'clock, first ran two kilometers on the road outside the camp, and then went to a street park next to the camp to carry out activities, sweating.

He finished his run, ready to press his legs on the bench in the small park, only to find a used *** and a few balls of toilet paper thrown under the chair, which may be the remains of an amorous story that happened last night, or the remains of a criminal transaction. Feeling a little disgusted, he turned around and was about to walk away, when a man stopped him with a smile on his face.

"Staff Officer Shi, why is it so coincidental that I happened to meet you here."

Shi Yan paused for a moment and said, "Ah! It's Manager Li. ”

Manager Li looked like he was going to an important event, wearing a gray suit and a coffee-colored tie loosely tied around his neck, like a hanging rope that had not yet been tightened, and his dress contrasted with some of the morning workouts and early risers in sportswear in the small park.

"Manager Li, you are really everywhere, it's not just a coincidence that you met here!" Shi Yan said with a smile.

"I live in a nearby military guest house, which was arranged with the help of Minister Lin, and it is very close to here, so of course there are more opportunities to meet."

"Manager Li, I told you on the phone yesterday that some things may disappoint you, and I ------ in the agency."

"If nothing else, I just want to make more friends." Manager Li said, took out a paper bag from his coat pocket and put it on the chair next to him, "I know you like stamp collecting, so I'll give you some stamps." ”

Before Shiyan could react, Manager Li had already turned around and walked away quickly, scurrying like a rabbit being chased by a dog. Looking at Manager Li's back, Shi Yan felt that his slightly hunched body was not the result of nodding his head and waist, but the genetic fault of his parents.

Shi Yan suddenly remembered that Manager Li himself had seen it elsewhere before. (To be continued.) )
