He turned on the phone and listened, it was a call from Miss Liu, the person in charge of the agency.

"Is it convenient to talk now?" She asked.

"Convenient." Ji Conan immediately said that for the direct boss, there can be no slackness, a wrong tone will become a bargaining chip, which will make you die ugly, and you don't know how to die.

She continued: "There are two guests from Songgang, who will arrive tomorrow afternoon, please come to the pier to greet them." This tone is unquestionable, absolutely authoritative, there is no room for negotiation, it is all the tone of command, this is the holy decree, just obey it, don't think why, let alone ask why.

Ji Conan said, "Okay. Then he hung up.

The instructions of the person in charge are orders and must be obeyed, but the tone of the words is very polite, a gentle knife, and I can't bear to refuse, and there is no reason to refuse.

Serving other people's bowls and serving other people's pipes is natural and understandable. But he hasn't settled down yet, thinking of this, Ji Conan said to Assistant Tan of the branch: "Director Tan, can you help me contact the house in the county town?" ”

When Assistant Tan heard this, he paused, thoughtfully, not reluctantly, but thinking about how to answer.

Ji Conan continued to describe the difficulties and said, "You can't stay in a hotel all the time, and it's very noisy there." ”

Assistant Tan said: "This is no problem, we have already contacted you, after you go back, you can look at the house first, if you are satisfied, live there, if you are not satisfied, you can think of a way." ”

Ji Conan said, "Okay. ”

I thought to myself, this guy is worthy of being a veteran of officialdom, and he can be comfortable and handy with anyone, what he says, and what situation.

After six kilometers of driving, you can see the county seat. The county has existed since ancient times, and there may not be many people who know the history here, and as for the local history, they have no time to investigate.

After all, it is a small town in the middle of the canyon deep in the mountains, which is very inconspicuous. But she is a transportation artery, geographically important, like a human throat, if not, the whole region is dead. Or rather, the whole region is paralyzed. In the past, I traveled by horse, but when I arrived here, I could only take a boat to ferry back and forth. Before the Three Gorges Project, the water here was turbulent, and it happened to be in the Guandu generation, the water flow was gentle, very strange, so it formed a natural good ferry here.

The ferry was formed and named Guandu. The insignificance of human beings can be highlighted in front of the mountains and valleys, and human beings are just a small black spot in the mountains, not even the size of a stone, but the human heart is bigger than a mountain.

The rolling mountains, buried a lot of people, can be described as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, a lot of things happen, all dreams, because of the mountains, all ideals, starting from the mountains.

The children in the mountains cherish the breadth and flatness of the plains more, and the people in the mountains prefer to be satisfied with the status quo. Because in the mountains, every step you take, you face a test.

Lifting your feet up the mountain, exploring the foot down the mountain, are all tests, you have to sweat, whether it is spring and autumn, or summer and winter, sweating is exercise, everyone thinks this is a good thing, but everyone is unwilling to do it.

Because after all, it is the gravitational force of the earth to fight, you know, if you want to resist this gravitational force, invisible gravity, Newton was smashed by an apple, and the theory he discovered after opening the door actually appeared in the mountain people as early as possible, but he didn't understand the theory, only knew the practice. The apple hit the ground and hit Newton, who discovered gravity. If it hits a pig, the pig will be happier, and will not think about where the apple came from, and regardless of gravity, it will just eat it. Now many people are similar to the latter. Just eat, don't think, don't be grateful. Regardless of his three-seven-twenty-one, fill his stomach first.

Practice is the easiest way to produce truth. Ji Conan was in the mountains, and after experiencing this, he felt a sense of awe for nature, which came from the heart.

Behind nature, there must be a creator, just like a watch, it must come from the hand of a craftsman, not falling from the sky for no reason, nor coming out of the ground. Watches are like this, people are behind them, people are like this, everything is like this. Ji Conan thought so, but did not find an accurate answer.

The feeling of being in the plains is different from the feeling of being in the mountains. The people of the plains, knowing the immensity of the land, have to walk far, far away, very tired, and use their feet to know the truth. People in mountainous areas know the steepness of the mountains, just like someone is carving handicrafts, arranging the mountains and rivers so beautifully and flawlessly, completely beyond the human intellect, so as to recognize their own shortcomings. No matter how clever an artist is, he cannot compete with the intellect of the Creator, and a pretentious artist will certainly bow his head high before God.

If he still wants to improve, he must be humble and self-contained, otherwise, he will become a proud person, unable to make progress, and has no room for growth.

The wise man is happy to water, seeing the water of the Yangtze River, coming from afar, flowing endlessly, for the sea in his heart, he will do everything possible to eliminate all difficulties, and move forward in a roundabout way towards the goal, never afraid of failure, nor afraid of blows, with the tempering of the years, so that the water is more full of power, and the soft person can indeed overcome the rigid, and see the large and small stones in those canyons, which used to be square, angular, combed by the water, carved, and changed.

The water inadvertently created many handicrafts, and as a result, they were picked up and installed in the middle of the civic square on the plain for people to see. While watching, you will think about the origin of the stone, who is the sculptor, and how can he have such superb craftsmanship!

The Yangtze River out of Wuxia, just into Xiling Gorge, the Yangtze River like the yellow ribbon, through the city, the famous Shennong Creek here, happily embraced with the father river, the bright green ribbon like, and the yellow ribbon intertwined, in the white buildings dotted with dots, constitute a beautiful landscape painting.

A thin layer of clouds and mist, spread flat over the small county town, like the water of the Yangtze River, drifting from the upstream to the downstream, from the west to the east. This so-called "six kilometers" does not refer to the trip, but to the name of the place.

Why the name? It turned out that from the big bend of the county seat to this place, the drive is six kilometers, and there is no good name here, so it is simply agreed that it is called "six kilometers". The emerging small county town seems to be within reach, and it is like picking up something in your pocket. This name is easy to remember, catchy, and can leave a deep impression.

When someone asks you where you've gone and you can't remember, just look at the odometer in the car, and if you're careful enough, you'll be able to respond immediately. The car is walking along the hillside, bending around, or climbing the mountain, and as the altitude increases, the farther and farther you can see, the scenery becomes more and more beautiful.

It's strange that the more you leave the crowd, the more beautiful the scenery becomes; But after a long time of being away from the crowd, and longing to meet people, whether to buy things or not, looking at the bustling crowd, I have to be comforted. Man is really a strange creature, different from animals, which never know gratitude, it is just an instinct.

When they arrived at the county seat, they went to the branch together, and Jia Ji Conan reported to Manager Jia about his work in Hecun, he was very satisfied, and explained to Assistant Tan to help him arrange housing.

Ji Conan thanked them. And just received the content of the phone call from the person in charge of the agency euphemistically explained, Songgang visitors are here to help him work, he is lonely in a small town alone, many friends to pass the time. Manager Jia nodded silently. Maybe the person in charge or the literati have such a habit of thinking about problems, not expressing their stance easily, and being cautious. Maybe the person in charge is going to be sent there, and he has seen a lot, so he naturally formed this attitude.

Ji Conan only saw a nod, and thought it was approval. But he couldn't help but mutter, in fact, he didn't understand what the future would be like, and he didn't ask the person in charge, if he could express his position within his authority, he would say it, and he was understandable. He will not be surprised that there will suddenly be two more personnel in the future.

Assistant Tan had something to do temporarily, so he entrusted the deputy manager to accompany him to see the house. This seems to be the deputy manager of the young man, who has actually suffered a lot, just like the children of Hecun, who have been in the mountains since childhood, climbing the mountain is a home-cooked meal, often done, it is difficult to get fat, unless he is forty or fifty years old, life is comfortable, move to the city or a place with better conditions, it is easy to travel, walk less, take more cars, it is easy to accumulate fat, and it is easy to see the old state. This deputy manager, at a young age, was honored to the throne, which is also admirable.

The deputy manager walked very fast, and Ji Conan was not used to it, so it was a little difficult to follow behind. Fortunately, after going down the steps, there are numb cars (three-wheeled motorcycles) that can go straight to the destination. They walked east along the road, numb and fast, not bumpy enough, but very loud. Hides the noisy sounds of people buying and selling.

Housing in the former institution family home. There are still a large number of people here who have not moved out, and the date of impoundment of the Three Gorges has not yet arrived. It's a good place to be quiet, and it's a place where warriors are buried, and the noise can interfere with the sleeping of the victims.

So, it's really hard to find this place in a small town. Places with easy access are often plain areas. This is the Three Gorges, high mountains and mountains, and if the Yangtze River is not blocked by the Three Gorges Dam, it will be unruly here.

Of course, the place where the warriors live should be slightly flatter, so that it is convenient for future generations to pay tribute, and the students come to worship the warriors during the Qingming Festival, which is also a good education base, and the terrain is too dangerous, and there is no guarantee for the safety of students. It's a pity that the cemetery was also the object of submergence, and it became an underwater city along with the compound of the agency's family.

The house is on the first floor, knocking on the door, the door is a white-faced middle-aged greasy uncle, who looks like a scholar, the deputy manager introduced him to him, he also introduced himself, he said that he is a photography association, likes photography, has a daughter, lives in the family compound of the small city agency, here originally wanted to be a studio, since it is a system, it will be rented.

He was very happy, immediately drafted the lease contract, he signed it, he handed him the key to the room, and the house was settled.

When I was so busy, I forgot to eat. Look at the time, it's four o'clock in the afternoon, the deputy manager invited Ji Conan to dinner, he didn't refuse, by the way to buy some daily necessities, these are all within the budget, not luxury, daily necessities to buy, as long as it is reasonable, can be considered for reimbursement, Ji Conan does not plan to buy lavishly, I don't know where to go in the future, if you buy something too good, if you move in the future, you don't feel that you move once, you can completely abandon these things, because the freight is enough to buy new things, There is no need to move people around, the gains outweigh the losses.

With the deputy manager and several staff members from other departments in the bureau, they had a meal at a designated restaurant, chatting while eating, which were all inconsequential topics. Chat about the weather, say that the weather for a year is fine, say that the weather ten years ago is no problem, this is what happened, it is history, no one blames it. Speaking of today's weather, no problem. Because what the weather is like, obviously, see for yourself, facts speak louder than words.

Manager Jia went to the meeting, so he didn't accompany him. In fact, he didn't need him to be there. Because, he is the number one, and Ji Conan is the representative of the agency in the small town, not the real boss. According to the one-to-one correspondence, if Ji Conan's boss comes, Ji Conan should accompany him. If he doesn't come, it's his faux pas. Ji Conan is here, he is also there, he is just exalting him, in front of his subordinates, I'm embarrassed. One-to-one correspondence is important. In a word, it is said that when the opponent meets the opponent, it is interesting enough. There is also a sentence that makes the mountains and rivers meet bosom friends, and it is interesting to be able to talk about them together. Otherwise, the scene is very embarrassing.

Although he is very friendly, he still takes care of the big scenes. He went to a meeting, most likely it was an excuse, he didn't want to delve into it, he was too lazy to care, one less to eat, he could eat more. It's a good way to comfort yourself in this way. If you care, in fact, this scene is not exactly eating. It's easy to eat, just get a little bit of food and you'll be satisfied. The key is to bond through eating. Only in this way can we truly play the role and influence of the dinner.

After dinner, say goodbye to them. He went to the supermarket to buy something.

Although it is a mountainous area, the price is not low, the transportation is inconvenient, the transportation cost is high, the added value of the commodity is high, and there are not many supermarkets, so it lacks competitiveness and becomes a monopoly and has to buy. There is no other branch in this one, so you can buy it or not. In this way, you have to buy it, if you don't buy it, it's useless, and if you buy it, you feel a faint pain in your heart, and there is no way. With consumption, there is distress, and with it, there is enjoyment, which improves the quality of life and can also bring people short-term happiness.

Looking at the dazzling array of things, I thought about what I needed while buying. Buy some of it first, and then add it when the visitors from Songgang come.

Even so, he still couldn't take many things, so he shouted at the door of the supermarket and called the numb car, and the master helped him take the things into the car and went straight to the family courtyard of the county party committee. The fee for the taxi was three yuan, Ji Conan asked him for **, and the master was stunned there, like a wooden man.
