Chapter 28: The First Step

At 5 o'clock in the morning, Zhao Jiadi, who had not slept all the time, got up in a carp posture, got dressed, and ran to the room to take out a map of Hangzhou from the drawer that he bought from a newsstand for a few yuan, which was originally a normal thing that ordinary young people would do, but Wen Qing is Zhao Jiadi's number one and almost the only dogleg Han Daode drew the addresses of all the departments and bureau-level offices in the city with a red pen circle on the map. Zhao Jia packed up the documents needed for the next report, carried a computer bag, went downstairs to ride a bicycle that was not new or old, from 5:30 to the approaching point, it took nearly two and a half hours to walk around the city, the State Grid, the Quality Supervision Bureau, the Environmental Protection Department, the State Security Bureau, the Municipal Zhèngfǔ Building, the Provincial Party Committee, and then to the Banking Regulatory Bureau, the jǐng Preparation Headquarters, etc., along the way, I saw many vehicles passing by in a hurry, without exception they were low-end, and there were few brand-name cars, which was probably a small microcosm of the social situation. Struggle is left to others, Zhao Jiadi asked for a porridge and two yuan fried dumplings at a breakfast stall where cleaners are gathered halfway, no one cares about this young man who has a healthy life and rest, and a breakfast is three yuan and five cents, this young man who was expected to inherit the wealth of his parents at least tens of billions of dollars, chose a very incomprehensible path.

Zhao Jiadi reported to the Provincial Development and Reform Commission on time, parked the car, and received a call from Li Tan when he passed through the doorman, Li Dabutier ridiculed Zhao Jiadi for not being disappointed that he did not put firecrackers to meet the big battle in the Development and Reform Commission, Zhao Jiadi walked into the building according to the direction instructed by the doorman, took the mobile phone and whispered Leader, now I am your soldier, and I need to serve tea and water in the future. Li Tan quipped, You are 108,000 miles away from me, and you pay attention to the cost. Zhao Jiadi said cheekily and softly, the cost of physical strength is not small, but the opportunity cost is large, the leader of your office is not in vain, as long as I have a familiar face, I will make a steady profit. Li Tan was choked by this, and said helplessly, okay, now I know that I have to play the official cavity and exploit the loopholes, I don't have anything to say with you, I have told you in the past two days, pay attention to yourself, don't be too diligent, but be looked down upon by others, but the newcomers in the office are diligent and fast, it is always a good thing, this degree, you grasp it yourself, wait for the fire, this knowledge, it has to be slowly figured out by yourself, and it is useless for outsiders to say that it is useless. Zhao Jiadi hung up the phone after a few polite words, the infrastructure complex room is on the 5th floor, Zhao Jiadi thought about it or walked upstairs, and as a result, he met an uncle who was holding a teacup on the stairs on the 2nd floor, Zhao Jiadi intentionally or unintentionally slowed down his pace to open a distance, and the uncle turned into the corridor on the 4th floor, Zhao Jiadi received a text message prompting that it was Deputy Director Yao, asking if he had arrived at the National Development and Reform Commission, Zhao Jiadi replied that he had just arrived on the 5th floor, and the party member who had been able to meet through Li Tan's personal paving and building bridges immediately asked Zhao Jiadi to wait a while, and soon, the aisle appearedThe mediocre figure of "Yao Bald", the man who has been crawling and rolling in the government unit for many years and looks at the edges and corners of the man smiled and beckoned to Zhao Jiadi, he "deigned" to take Zhao Jiadi to knock on the office door of Kong Youming, the leader of the infrastructure complex, and was looking at the masthead of the "Zhejiang Rì Newspaper" inscribed by Hua Guofeng, this provincial party committee organ newspaper ranks second in the national provincial party newspaper, about fifteen years ago, Zhejiang has not been a big man, small gui is safe, but in recent years, the provincial party committee secretary of the Xinjiang officials, but without exception, a hundred feet to go further, I have to make people feel that Zhejiang is running from time to time, in fact, it is not surprising, not only is it rich and full of vitality, but there are not too many deep-rooted conservative things, it is easy to make political achievements, the risk is small, and it is the most suitable to be a springboard, but for small fish and shrimp like Zhao Jiadi, the waves of the head are not shocked, which does not mean that the following is harmony and love.

Kong Youming is a very sturdy middle-aged man, with a height of 10 cm, but a little hunchbacked, not clear whether it is congenital or acquired, he saw that the direct subordinate led a young man in, and he knew that the theme of the two old classmates drinking and chatting revolved around the child called Zhao Jiadi in front of him and Li Tan, who was in awe of the middle and high-level in Hangzhou, and then Zhao Jiadi's headshot was posted on the resume, which was very clear, although Kong Youming had been laughed at in private and said that he was blind, but in fact, his eyesight has been good, So far, he doesn't need to wear glasses, he saw Zhao Jiadi, took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shook it, and said with a smile It's Zhao Jiadi, the champion of the national examination, amazing, sit, sit casually, you're welcome. Kong Youming didn't deliberately deal with Director Yao, obviously he didn't want to make a small move in this regard, the reason why Li Tan invited Yao Bald to dinner was because he knew that he had a great relationship with Yao Bald? In front of outsiders who don't know what's going on, of course Kong Youming won't play with Director Yao without being big or small, and he is doing this today, because Kong Youming is afraid that the young man who can only be sure that his IQ is not low at the moment will not be able to see the clues, Kong Youming has already given enough subtext, Zhao Jiadi, you know Li Tan, I know Yao Feng, so the three people in the office are currently in one line, at least you young man don't have to worry that I will give you small shoes, you can rest assured that you can stand in line. Whether it is the workplace or officialdom, no matter how high you climb, standing in line is a headache for people, if you don't stand, there is often no backstage, once the wind and rain are shaky, it is easy to be the first to be kicked out by the evenly matched hostile sides in the trade-off, standing wrong, even more pitiful, the tree is scattered, one is not good, jumping down will make the leg lame, and it is not impossible to be stoned to death by the tree. Zhao Jiadi's expression was calm, his eyes were clear, and he was sitting on the sofa, never squinting. Yao Feng warmed up and said with a smile Director Kong was also the top student in the city's college entrance examination back then, you must have a lot of common language in the future, communicate more, I still have something to do, Director Kong, Maxima brought it to you, don't be too idle.

Kong Youming laughed, sent Yao Feng to the door of the office, turned around and asked Zhao Jiadi with a smile if he wanted to drink tea first, Zhao Jiadi quickly got up and said No need, Kong Youming thought about it and said I'll take you to the office. The two walked together to the office separated by two rooms, located on the sunny side, a short distance, Kong Youming thought a lot, these years as a middle-level cadre who is not small but also has real power, and has also known a lot of descendants with backgrounds, the relationship is twists and turns, and there is even a relative descendant of the provincial Standing Committee, maybe the life is too good and worry-free, or it may be that the ambition is not here, it is very unique here, the reputation is mediocre, and the ability is not outstanding, and he changed his position in less than two years, of course, he mentioned it, but it is said that he fell on the side of the organization department, On the contrary, some young people who are not scary are willing to be calm and do things, with a low starting point, but more stamina, so Kong Youming is a little optimistic about the young man around him who will not stop at Li Tan in the background, but in the end, he did not have high expectations, he just wanted to be safe and stable. Zhao Jiadi will stay in the office is not big, Zhang desk, all equipped with desktops, see Director Kong, everyone instinctively stood up, Zhao Jiadi did not move and quickly glanced around, the office peer is one, it is a girl, it is estimated that a few years after graduating from college, it is estimated that there are about two years of work experience in prefecture-level cities and counties, and the Provincial Development and Reform Commission that seized the opportunity to enter, most of the rest are men and women who stand or are not confused, and there is a half-hundred-hundred-year-old man who is about to retire. Kong Youming roughly introduced a circle, but did not introduce one, Zhao Jiadi nodded and smiled once, sunny and sincere, for this reason, Zhao Jiadi also practiced many times in the mirror in the bathroom of the World Trade Center, the initial impression is too important, do not seek edge, so you have to pass the line. Li Tan's face-to-face teaching should be very clear, neither humble nor arrogant, and it is inappropriate, the most correct way is to be a little lower than this. Working hard in the agency, doing their own internal affairs is the premise, in this premise to do more and less depending on the mood and situation, but most of the experience still depends on how the people around you do, those words and deeds, are invisible wealth. Zhao Jiadi took it to heart.

Everyone in the office heard that this young man surnamed Zhao was a bull in the national examination 170, and finally saw the true face of Lushan, and seemed to be a little disappointed, just looking like an ordinary young man. However, if Kong Youming, the head of the infrastructure complex, can personally introduce him, either he has a heart of love for talents, or he has some origins. Kong Youming did not stay too long, and left directly, in the past, the infrastructure complex office as a provincial key office, and held the power of life and death in many areas of review and inspection, Kong Youming, who sat in this position, said that it should be in one acre and three points of land can be beautiful, but the position is not stable enough, the qualifications are there, but these years have not cultivated any good lineage, and the two deputies have been in the middle of several semi-public exchanges between you and me, until not long ago, the most popular provincial capital upstart Li Tan suddenly came to the National Development and Reform Commission to inspect the work, The stingy Li Dabi gave a high affirmation to the recent work of the infrastructure construction room, and praised Kong Youming by name, for a while, the National Development and Reform Commission suddenly showed chickens and dogs, and many of the wall grass that was too lazy to say hello to Kong Youming before squeezed out a bright smile, and it was about drinking tea and fishing, and it was time to run, in fact, Li Tan's level was not too high, and even the provincial standing committee members did not enter, but no one is really blind, leaving the mountain of Huang Ji, Li Tan can still climb out of the ordinary, which shows that this is the real person in Beijing. Maybe they are included in a very high-level investigation sequence, God knows who will be on the list in this sequence, will they become the faces that often appear in CCTV news broadcasts in 15 to 20 years? Zhao Jiadi sat opposite the old man surnamed Qian, he didn't know until the back that the old man was a little legend in the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, and he belonged to the rehired consultant. Zhao Jiadi handed over all the things that should be handed over, and got all the things that should be taken, and then sat down, and the ratio of men and women in the office was 5 to 4, as for which hills they belonged to, of course, there were clouds and fog, not to mention the big backers that stretched out of the hills, Zhao Jiadi was not interested in these, people respect me for one point, and I respect people for two points, but he caught a subtle detail, the girl of the same age seemed to be very jǐng precepts to herself, Zhao Jiadi laughed at himself, human nature, monks have more porridge and less porridge, no one wants someone to grab a job with him. Lunch can be eaten in the cafeteria, or you can go home to eat and take a nap, but there is a simple folding bed in the office, Zhao Jiadi does not know whether this is a regular or additional benefit, he gets off work at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, but he will work overtime from time to time on weekends, I believe that not many people are willing to give up their weekend vacation for that overtime pay.

Zhao Jiadi sat quietly in front of the computer, thinking that he could buy a small potted plant when he went back later, so as to celebrate the first day of his public practice.

Zhao Jiadi doesn't know how many of his peers have a mentality on the first day of entering government institutions and institutions, are they full of ambition or trembling? Ambitious or walking on thin ice? But for him, he thought of the villagers who were only in contact with and familiar with Guanyin Village when he was teaching, there were ignorant children who were curious about the city, there were old people who quietly waited and closed their eyes and had never been to a big city in their lives, and there were many middle-aged men and women who worked hard in the city to support their families. But it was these people, when the volunteer teacher Hu Li died, the whole village wore plain clothes and knelt in front of the grave, which made Zhao Jiadi firmly believe that he should be worthy of all these people.

Zhao Jiadi was eating in the cafeteria at noon, and for no reason remembered the sentence of the master Chen Ping'an, "Today rì no tobacco and alcohol, the following dishes", lowered his head and smiled.
