When Xiao Zhang first came to the agency, he had not rented a house at that time. He told Lao Yu about this difficulty, and Lao Yu touched it for a long time, and finally said: "Either you can live on the sofa in the office first, and talk about it later." ”

Xiao Zhang lived on the sofa, he went to bed very late, a quilt was placed in the office cabinet that belonged to him, before others went to work, he had already gotten up, not only cleaned up the quilt, but also cleaned the office inside and out. After a period of time like this, Director Lu somehow knew about Xiao Zhang's residence in the office, and Director Lu called Xiao Zhang to his office and said, "Xiao Zhang, you are not very good like this, who let you live in the office?" ”

Xiao Zhang didn't think much about it at that time, so he said Lao Yu. Director Lu's face sank, and he bluntly limited Xiaozhang to move out of the office within two days, emphasizing how serious the office was, and so on.

Xiao Zhang used to hear Lao Yu say that Xiao Xiao in the office didn't have a house to live in when he first came, and lived on the sofa for more than two years, and then the agency adjusted the house and gave Xiao Xiao a room, and Xiao Xiao moved out of the office. After Xiao Zhang moved out of the office, he heard that Xiao Xiao was transferred to the agency by Director Lu. At that time, Xiao Zhang regretted that he was not transferred by Director Lu. Soon after Xiao Zhang entered the agency, he understood some of the usual simple truths in the agency. From that moment on, he began to keep a certain distance from Lao Yu. He knew he was helpless, and he didn't want to put himself in an awkward position. Although Lao Yu is the deputy director, Director Lu is in charge of all the major and minor matters in the office. Even if Director Lu is not there, he will have to wait until Director Lu comes back before he can make a decision.

After Xiao Zhang gradually learned about the situation of the agency, he began to pay attention to the affairs of the agency. Every time there is a meeting in the organ, several directors sit on the rostrum, and Director Yang naturally sits in the middle, Deputy Director Li on the left, Deputy Director Zhao on the right, and Deputy Director Wang sits on the very edge.

Every time there was a meeting, Director Yang gave a lecture, and Deputy Director Li sometimes interjected two sentences, saying some dispensable words, and then nodded and smiled at Director Yang, and Deputy Director Zhao on the side did not say anything, looking at the two of them with a hazy smile. Only Deputy Director Wang, who didn't say or laugh, sat there uncomfortably with a cold face, sometimes motionless, what posture was at the beginning, and it was still the same posture at the end. After Director Yang finished speaking, he asked Deputy Director Li what else he had to say, and Deputy Director Li emphasized every time: how important Director Yang's speech is, and all departments must implement it in accordance with the spirit of Director Yang's speech after the meeting. If you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. After Deputy Director Li finished speaking, he asked Deputy Director Zhao next to him if there was anything else to add, and Deputy Director Zhao first picked up the cup in front of him and drank saliva before saying: Both of you are very comprehensive, I won't say anything.

Director Yang poked his head over at this time, and before Director Yang could speak, Deputy Director Wang, who was sitting at the farthest point, had already waved his hand, and then the meeting was dismissed.

As everyone knows, Deputy Director Wang is the fourth-in-command. Deputy Director Wang, who is the fourth-in-command, rarely speaks, and every morning when he walks into the office from work, he rarely comes out, and occasionally comes out to go to the toilet, but he also comes out in a hurry and returns in a hurry.

Other bureau chiefs' offices are always in full swing, and the leaders of some departments come to the bureau director's office to ask for instructions. Deputy Director Wang is also in charge of several departments, such as security, trade unions, health centers, etc., all of which are inconsequential departments, so few people enter Deputy Director Wang's office, and Deputy Director Wang's office is closed.

Xiao Zhang was very impressed by all this, the door of the office was facing Deputy Director Wang's door, and Xiao Zhang sat at the door again. Xiao Zhang also found that when Deputy Director Wang walked out of the office, he didn't look anywhere, and at six o'clock in the afternoon, the door of Deputy Director Wang's office opened on time, and he walked downstairs without anyone looking at him.

Several deputy directors also have their own special cars, and several drivers also have an office upstairs, and they have to be on standby in the office when they have nothing to do, and obey the dispatch of the leader at any time. Sometimes several drivers can't sit still, often go to the departments and rooms to visit the door, smoke a cigarette, and say some words in the clouds, because they are the leaders of the driver, so everyone is polite to these drivers. Because it is the leader's driver, the drivers generally speak very loudly, especially Director Yang's driver Xiao Liang, who speaks in a very bureaucratic tone. Everyone is willing to talk to Director Yang's driver Xiao Liang, hoping to know some of the leaders' intentions from Xiao Liang's mouth, and many news are known from the driver's mouth. Every time the bureau leader driver came to visit the various departments, he was always welcomed.

Xiao Zhang found that Deputy Director Wang's driver, Xiao Wu, rarely visited the door, and among the drivers of these leaders, he seemed to have no status. In private, people also named these drivers, Director Yang's driver is the "first leader", Deputy Director Li's driver is called the "second in command", Deputy Director Zhao's driver is naturally the "third in command", and the "fourth in command" Xiao Wu obviously knows his status, therefore, Xiao Wu is very self-aware, and he always puts himself in an inconspicuous position.

Every night when he got off work, Xiao Wu would always walk downstairs a few minutes early and drive the car to the door of the office. Because Deputy Director Wang rarely socializes after work, he always gets off work on time.

Several other leaders have a lot of entertainment, not other units invite, or other units have guests to come, every time there is an event, there is always a driver, some activities will also send some souvenirs, of course, a driver is indispensable.

Xiao Wu, Deputy Director Wang's driver, once privately approached Director Lu, hoping to change jobs, and the driver was managed by the office. Xiao Wu didn't want to drive for other leaders, because this situation is impossible, there are naturally many benefits to driving for leaders, and there will always be someone to speak for him at a critical time. Xiao Wu was the turn to transfer the house last year, but in the end it was not transferred because of the large number of people and the lack of rooms, and Director Yang's driver Xiao Liang was one year less than Xiao Wu to participate in the work, and it was because Director Lu said a word that he was finally transferred to the house. After thinking about it, Xiao Wu decided to simply go to the driver class, and like other drivers, he didn't drive any special cars. It's also for freedom.

At that time, Director Lu didn't say yes, nor did he say no, in short, the matter was put on hold. Xiao Wu goes to work every day, but he looks unwilling, and he is always listless. Soon after, the organ made up a smooth slip for several leading drivers: the "number one" has the final say, the "second leader" has a cheap advantage, the "third leader" is also cost-effective, and the "fourth leader" stands aside. Xiao Wu could only stand aside. Xiao Wu's face is ugly every day.

Xiao Zhang didn't expect that the feng shui of the organ would turn so fast. Now Xiao Wu has also become the "number one". Now Xiao Wu is no longer the Xiao Wu of the past, there is a smile on his face, he is always humming a song in his mouth, and his expression is reminiscent of a newlywed man. When Xiao Wu came to the office, he never sat on a chair, but sat on Xiao Zhang's desk with his legs raised, Xiao Zhang's desk was closest to the door, and it was convenient for Xiao Wu to sit up. Xiao Wu, who was sitting on the table, said to everyone: "Do you know, Lao Lu is dying." When Xiao Wu said that Lao Lu was about to die, it seemed to be saying the good news of a long salary. Everyone listened to the news and was silent for a while, everyone seemed to be avoiding this topic, no one answered, and after a while, someone said: "Xiao Wu, our agency is about to divide the house again, right?" The topic shifted, as if everyone didn't know Lao Lu.

When Xiao Zhang heard the news that Lao Lu was about to die, his heart sank, and he had an indescribable feeling. When Lao Lu was first hospitalized, the people in the office, under the leadership of Lao Yu, collectively visited Lao Lu, and since then, no one has mentioned Lao Lu, and no one has ever gone to see it. Xiao Zhang knew that when Lao Lu was not sick, he was good to Lao Guo, ** and others, especially Xiao Xiao. These people were indifferent to Lao Lu's hospitalization.

When Lao Yu was discharged from the hospital and hospitalized with cerebral thrombosis, no one visited Lao Yu, and everyone thought that Lao Yu would never have a chance to stand up again when he lay down.

That night, Xiao Zhang quietly went to Lao Yu's house. Not for anything else, Xiao Zhang was selected by Lao Yu, and in the process of working together, Lao Yu treated him well. He knew that it was best not to let others know about Lao Yu, and the reason was very simple. After coming out of Lao Yu's house, Xiao Zhang's heart was uncomfortable for several days, I don't know if it was for Lao Yu or for himself.
