The so-called unspoken rules are just that. Many people are very capable, but they just do business and master skills, like tools, which are used by others, and their skills become disadvantages, no longer advantages, and become slaves of others or tools in the hands of slaves. Some people have no ability, but they will tie up with their bosses, and as a result, they have the ability, and that ability is to summon slaves, and let slaves call slaves, and slaves will use the tools in their hands to serve the master.

Conan is not good at being in charge, so he doesn't concentrate on studying those unspoken rules, and always hits a wall, knowing that at the moment, knowledge and skills are far from important. No matter how capable people are, if they don't have a relationship, they are just a tool that is used by others and thrown away when they run out. If you have a relationship, you can call the wind and rain, you can make steady progress, you can have someone to carry the big things, and someone to replace the small things, so that the truth can be until the person who has a relationship with him is there.

Drinking tea, someone came upstairs, the shopkeeper knew, stretched out his hand to shake hands with the person who came, the person was the technician of the water pipe station, the shopkeeper said: "Welcome, welcome, it's really fast!" Our good comrades. Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Ji of the Hong Kong Island Charity Foundation, this is a field worker at the Sanguan Water Pipe Station. ”

Conan stretched out his hand and pulled it with Tian Gong, Tian Gong's hand was very strong, worthy of being a skilled craftsman who often deals with water pipes and often installed and repaired water conservancy systems, and his hand strength was very good, I saw him pinch Conan's hand, grabbed it and shook it, for fear that the water pipe pliers would fall off from his hand, and put it down after shaking.

It may be that the opposite sex is repulsive, Conan is not interested in the same sex, and I really hope that the person who comes is a woman, so that he will not be tired of working. As the saying goes, men and women are matched to work without getting tired. Conan immediately blushed at his dirty thoughts, but at this age, his heart was surging a lot, and his heart was like water. It really is. Including, the female secretary of the project office is present to eat together, the atmosphere is extraordinarily better, if they are all pure masters eating together, just drinking, eating, bragging, smoking, letting go is letting go, it is easy to get tired, tired of talking, drinking drunk, bragging also to use their brains, and eating also needs a quantity, in short, they are all heroic heroes, regardless of so many influences, don't scold villains if you want to be a gentleman, don't be a hypocrite if you want to be a villain. In short, having dinner with the secretary makes me feel more refreshed, as if I have entered a civilized society again. Of course, it has always been a civilized society, but many people don't know how to be blessed and always complain.

When Conan met Tian Gong, he told him the Foundation's requirements, Tian Gong nodded, indicating that it was clear, but his eyes wandered away, and Ji Conan found that this was over, and he didn't understand. This is a typical coping, a kind of politeness, if you only care about etiquette, you may have a blank mind, you don't know what the other party is talking about, this is only pay attention to the form and not pay attention to the content of one of the manifestations. Ji Conan has a deep experience, and it is even more appropriate to use it on technicians.

Tian Gong said, "I see. International program requirements are very stringent. The investor must go to the water source to see, the water source pool includes three filter pools, a water intake pool, all of which must be designed in, and these should be considered when budgeting; Also, I would like to know where the cistern was built? ”

"I have to ask the project director about this, he has seen it, and he has a mirror in his heart. If you don't understand how to ask again, don't pretend to understand, lest you have to rework later, or you can't hand in the papers, and you can't finish the work. Ji Conan said that he was not ambiguous, so as not to take responsibility for himself when he got it, saying that he did not say it properly and could not express it clearly, there would be misunderstandings. This is not buying and selling cabbage and radish, if you buy the wrong one, you will admit that you are unlucky, and the loss is not big. If you get this wrong, it's a nuisance and affects a lot of people.

When the director of the village project office saw Tian Gong's question, he hurriedly said: "Behind the restaurant, you can see the forest from the window, and there is a relatively gentle land under the woods, where the earth is excavated, and the new pond is built there. ”

Tian Gong said: "I can't see it clearly here, can I go to the scene to take a look?" ”

The project director said, "Yes, yes, of course no problem, let's go." ”

Conan noticed that the village director did not make tea for Tian Gong, and was wondering, when the shopkeeper said, "Old Deng, why don't you make tea for Tian Gong?" ”

Ji Conan suddenly remembered that the project officer's original surname was Deng. In general, people in deputy positions are not taken seriously, and even surnames are ignored, which is a cruel reality. Take Ji Conan as an example, he is nothing in the organization, and he has a certain influence in the village, because Ji Conan does things on behalf of the organization. The platform is important. When Director Deng goes down to do things, people will also call him the director, but in fact, he is an officer, as long as it is beneficial to others, others will call him higher than the actual position, of course, it is better if the director is not present, if he is present, ordinary people will not call him. Nowadays, people don't look at anything else, just look at this, to see if they are respected and whether they enjoy a certain status.

Officer Deng said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot, I just listened to you." ”

The project director said, "Forget it, let's talk about it after we go and see it." ”

Conan: They came to the place where the pool was to be built. This is a relatively large piece of land, and out of the woods, it is an open field. Further down, there is a sloping land, and there are seven or eight households living nearby, and there is a distance between the houses and between the yards and dams, clearly marking the boundaries of each household.

Built along the road, it is two households, in fact, connected into a whole, it looks like a family, this one will get all the services on the side of the road, food and accommodation are essential, and there is also a mahjong table, for people who like the Great Wall, it is not bad here. In addition, most of the people who come here to rest are long-distance trucks, because the store has been open for a long time and the driver is familiar with it, so they use this place as a place to rest.

Conan didn't know why there were so many roadside motels, some of them were doing well, some were bad, and some were closed. I often see some young girls sitting at the door of the hotel, and when they see a big truck, they frequently wave to the driver, and the familiar driver stops, and the unfamiliar one drives over, all the way to the dust, and does not look back.

It is said that it is time-consuming and laborious to build highways, railways, and caves here, and many women from other places come here to provide services in small hotels for a long time. Men who have left their families find solace and fulfillment in small inns.

Where there is a project, there are engineers, part-time workers, including technicians, and those with good conditions, bring their families over; If the condition is poor, there is no way to bring it. Some have the conditions to bring or not. How can house flowers have the fragrance of wild flowers? The old engineer also likes to associate with women who can be his daughter or granddaughter.

I heard that when the Qinghai-Tibet Railway was built, the plateau lacked oxygen, and many engineers who left their hometowns looked for a hair salon girl to buy joy, but they died on the girl's body, and the Qinghai-Tibet Railway was repaired, and many people died.

In the same way, where there is a project, there is a trade, not only the trade of goods, the trade of labor, but also the trade of the flesh, the altitude here is not high, and many people will not die due to lack of oxygen, but it is difficult to say that it will be due to accidents. This kind of accident, of course, includes those patients who have heart disease or high blood pressure, go to the small hotel to buy and trade, and suddenly those diseases are not rescued in time and die. After all, it is very difficult to see a doctor in mountainous areas, and the difficulty lies in the inconvenience of transportation.

Also, the construction of "two roads" (highways, railways), sacrificing the traditional ordinary highways, resulting in potholes on the highway pavement, a body of dust on sunny days, and mud spots on rainy days, really let the cars and people who pass through this section of the road are bitter, complaining, because of this, many workers are unwilling to go home, one is to spend money, the second is to make less money, and the third is to buy such considerate services, save money, and avoid going home to be angry.

After looking at the land, Tian Gong said, "This place is ideal, no problem." Shopkeeper, how big is the pool ready to make? ”

The shopkeeper asked, "What do you see?" ”

Tian Gong said: "It depends on how many people can use this pool?" ”

The shopkeeper said, "Including the office, this pool should ensure that at least forty households have drinking water." ”

Tian Gong asked, "What about the amount of water in the water?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "Last time with Mr. Ji, we went to Liujiawan and looked at the water source, and the amount of water was okay. ”

Tian Gong said: "It is enough to build a 300-cubic-meter pool, which can fully meet the needs of these 40 households, including hotels." ”

The shopkeeper said, "Well, that's what we need." ”

Conan said, "Tian Gong is right. I think we need to make a budget for the field workers. See how much it costs? ”

Tian Gong asked: "How far is the farthest water source from Liujiawan to here?" ”

"It's about 2,000 meters. ”

The field worker asked, "How far is it from this pond to the farthest farmer?" ”

"It's about 1,000 meters. ”

Tian Gong said, "That's good. Let's talk in the office. ”

When they arrived at the office, Lao Deng made tea for Tian Gong, and Tian Gong hurriedly took it, but this time the project director did not personally hand over the tea, and was preempted by Tian Gong. Xiao Tian came back, and she said, "Welcome Mr. Ji, welcome Tian Gong." ”

Oda is very beautiful, she has no eyes when she laughs, she squints into a slit, and when she opens her eyes, they are big, flickering, and her eyelashes are long, which is true. I smiled without speaking, and I didn't know that I thought I was a hostess who was transferred from a big place.

Conan nodded at her, and Tian Gong also greeted her, and she said, "I'm sorry, I went out to run errands just now." ”

Conan said, "It's okay, we've just arrived." ”

Tian Gong asked: "How much money can the villagers and beneficiaries get, and can the villagers raise funds?" ”

"It's very difficult to raise funds right now. It is also necessary to guard against villagers taking the petition route, and it is a bit difficult to raise funds from the people. It is up to the village to find a way to raise funds. It's hard to say how much. ”

Officer Deng said: "We can do it first, and when the money from the foundation comes, we can pay part of it first, and then find a way to do it." I support the director's point of view, if you can not raise funds from the villagers, you will not raise funds, so as not to cause endless trouble. ”

Conan said, "Tian Gong, how much do you think it costs to build this pool?" ”

Tian Gong said with a smile: "I estimate that 600,000 yuan is needed, and the village will raise 300,000 yuan by itself, and the rest will trouble your foundation." ”

Conan said, "I need a detailed implementation plan and a specific budget, can you provide it to me?" ”

Tian Gong said: "Not today. I'm going to go back, when are you going to do it? ”

Conan said, "The sooner the better." ”

Tian Gong said, "So be it." I'll go back and do it right away, print and bind it when it's done, and I'll get back to you. I will finish it tonight at the earliest, and I'll hand it over to you tomorrow morning, what do you think? ”

Conan said, "Good. Then I'll wait. ”

Xiao Tian said: "Mr. Ji, don't go, stay in the village tonight, and leave tomorrow." ”

At noon, the village arranged to eat at the restaurant opposite the office. After the meal, the field workers went back, and Conan stayed.

The village shopkeeper and the village director finished eating in the motel, the shopkeeper stayed, the director went home, the restaurant owner accompanied the village shopkeeper to play mahjong, Conan was bored, watched TV for a while, and then went to the office to read the newspaper, Xiao Tian accompanied, and sorted out the relevant forms.

Conan reads the newspaper and likes to read some supplements, short essays about prose and poetry, Oda asked, "Mr. Ji likes to read those essays?" ”

Conan said, "yes." The news is boring, and there is some fake news. Then there are some news stories that even get the name wrong. For example, the last time a signing ceremony was held in an office building in a small county town, the reporter of "Chuxi Evening News" made Miss Liu's name Miss Liu. ”

Oda said, "Yes." Some reporters have just debuted, and they are still very tender. ”

Conan asked, "How is your article being written?" ”

Oda said: "I didn't go to a serious university, I was an old high school student, and I like to write some articles, but they are not very good. Compared with students in regular Chinese universities, it is still much worse. ”

Conan said: "Students in the Faculty of Arts of regular universities have learned theories, and if they don't practice much, they only understand theories. ”

She said, "yes." Literature has always been my dream, and it didn't come true, but it's a pity. Now that I'm married again, I haven't had a child yet, and I really want to realize my dream of being a teenager, but unfortunately I don't have the opportunity. ”

Ji Conan lamented that his life was not fateful. A lot of ideas are stuck in ideas and not put into action. If you put it into action, even if it is a small step, it is a big step, after all, you have overcome your own inertia.

The road of life is bumpy, in this poor and remote country, only those who have made mistakes in the past are degraded and exiled here, so that the flesh and blood are separated, the purpose is to miss the past grace, be grateful to Dade, think about the past, change the past, and strive for forgiveness before they will be reappointed. Otherwise, it is not known when it will be a head. Those who don't know this place still think that this place is a good place with green mountains and green waters, and those who know this place will not be in a good mood. Where there are people, there is sin, where there are people, there are battlefields, and where there are people, there are fights. I feel that people are actually very pitiful, the bumpy road of life, the hot and cold heart of the world, will make people slowly experience and ponder, only in this way will they grow and mature.

The police officer listened to what Ji Conan said about the case and was a little depressed. I also think that I have been mixed for most of my life, and I am also an ordinary investigator, which is a bit of a pity. For the guy in front of him, who is of the same age, and after going through so much, he suddenly felt pity in his heart.

The officer said, "Well, your case was not originally done by me." It was the former police officer who was doing it, and he was temporarily transferred to the mission. I'll take the place. He explained before leaving, it's not a big problem, let you go back first. However, to ensure that you are always available, this case is not closed, and you need to continue to assist in the investigation, can you do it? ”

"Yes. Feel free to contact me if you need to. Ji Conan said, feeling ecstatic in his heart, but he didn't show it immediately.

The police officer untied Ji Conan, and Ji Conan walked out of the interrogation room, the sun was shining outside, and it was another fresh morning.
