The boiling snowflakes outside the window were still falling, and Zhao Xiaowen, who came to the office early in the morning, cleaned the office as usual, and soaked a cup of steaming tea in his thermos cup, so that he had a leisure time to sit in his seat.

At the beginning, the passionate young man who scolded Fang Yu for dung and ten thousand households at the beginning of graduating from college, but now in the blink of an eye, he has not developed an inch in this position that has been working for six or seven years, and the passion in his heart has almost been wiped out, and Zhao Xiaowen is doing his job step by step every day.

Being able to work in the core government of a provincial capital city like Spring City, even if it is just a small clerk, is a very remarkable thing in the eyes of countless outsiders.

Zhao Xiaowen even knew that if it wasn't for his good luck back then, he escaped a serious illness at a critical moment, otherwise with his usual active mind, I am afraid that what awaits him when he graduates will not be a good result.

Although Zhao Xiaowen is absolutely confused about his future now, you must know that Lu Dao graduated with him, and many of the students who were implicated back then have gone bankrupt. In this upcoming year, when there are old and young, you can imagine how difficult their lives are now.

After the impulse of youth and sorrow, now in retrospect, Zhao Xiaowen has long lost the impetuousness he used to be.

Although there are too many problems in reality, it is fair to say that the materials on the market are becoming more and more abundant, and people's living standards are not a little better than they were 20 years ago.

Many times, Zhao Xiaowen, who was in deep thought, wondered if the things of the year were really out of control by his enthusiastic and blind students, would Huaxia still have such a thriving development momentum now?

Zhao Xiaowen has worked in the Chuncheng City Government for a short time, and in six or seven years, he has basically learned all the rules of officialdom that he should learn. It's just that he doesn't have any backstage, and he still maintains his bookish atmosphere, obviously disdainful of those annoying whiskers.

Maybe Zhao Xiaowen's attitude made him a little unpopular in the office, but Zhao Xiaowen knew in his heart that flattering others without principles was at most a cannon fodder with a little value in the eyes of those powerful people.

Such an idea may usually be comforting that even Zhao Xiaowen himself is absolutely self-deceiving, but when it was affected by the Dongfang Iron and Steel Plant nest case last year, there was also a lot of noise in the Chuncheng City government, and many officials were censored. Seeing that some of the people around him who were once high-spirited have never returned, Zhao Xiaowen at that time was even more determined in his thoughts.

A gentleman has something to do and something not to do, and if he wants to truly realize his lofty ideals, he must not touch the things that are on the sidelines.

Today is the weekend, Zhao Xiaowen doesn't have to come to the office to be on duty in such a bad climate, his colleague Sister Deng has something to find him at home, and he is naturally not easy to excuse himself.

Sorting out the reports that need to be handed in next week, Zhao Xiaowen picked up the thick tome and began to study it after he was busy, for him, maybe only by wandering in the ocean of knowledge can he forget the injustice in reality.

"Tuk tuk" knocked on the door, Zhao Xiaowen reluctantly woke up from his obsessive state, got up and opened the door.

Chen ...... Hello, Mayor Chen! ”

Zhao Xiaowen, who was a little impatient in his heart, opened the door and saw the tall figure standing in front of him, and he was excited in his heart, and he whispered a little incredulously.

"Hello, are you on duty alone?" Chen Youwei strode in, glanced at the neat office, and asked with a slight smile.

"Report to Mayor Chen, I'm on duty today."

After all, Zhao Xiaowen was not a pink newcomer who had just graduated, so he came to his senses in an instant and said in a calm tone.

"Hehe, I'm idle and bored in the guest house alone, so I'll come to the office to walk around......"

Chen Youwei feels good about the average-looking peer in front of him, and he can be neither humble nor arrogant in front of his own dignified mayor, which alone is enough to show that this person's quality is extraordinary.

"Oh? The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money? ”

Chen Youwei's eyes were very sharp, and he saw most of the tome on Zhao Xiaowen's desk at a glance, picked it up and flipped it over to look at Zhao Xiaowen and said, "Do you appreciate Keynes's point of view?" ”

Zhao Xiaowen suppressed the curiosity in his heart and nodded: "Almost, many of his views are actually being used in practice by developed countries, including Citigroup, which shows that Keynes's theory has strong operability." ”

Chen Youwei smiled, originally he just wanted to turn around as he wanted, but he didn't expect to find a person who had some understanding of economic theory in his one-third of an acre, which made him feel unexpected.

"Do you think the current problems of Spring City can be solved by Keynesian economic theory?" Chen Youwei asked further.

Zhao Xiaowen muttered: "Strictly speaking, there are many similarities between Keynes's economic principles and the emphasis on the strategic aspects of our socialism. It's just that the developed countries in the West use things to make up for the defects and deficiencies of their market economy, but the situation in China is the opposite, with more planning and less market! ”

This is a person with his own judgment vision, Chen Youwei secretly praised in his heart.

"Do you mean that the current situation in our Spring City should be solved by opening up the market?" Chen Youwei pressed step by step.

Zhao Xiaowen frowned lightly and said with a wry smile: "Mayor Chen, you are really stumped for me, I am just a little clerk, where did I think so much?" ”

Chen Youwei waved his hand and said with a smile: "Anyway, we are chatting, so you can just treat it as a defense in school." ”

"On the contrary, I think that the problem of Spring City may not be able to be solved smoothly by purely market means!"

Zhao Xiaoming's bright eyes stared at the somewhat damaged corner of the floor tiles under his feet, and said slowly: "The so-called use of market means to solve the problem of state-owned enterprises in Chuncheng is actually an irresponsible push, so many heavy industrial factories above the scale in Chuncheng, not to mention how much their intrinsic value has been lost. It is simply a fool's dream for those laymen to want to develop in heavy industrial enterprises with high requirements for technical threshold and industry resource complementarity just by investing a little money. ”

"So your point of view is ......" Chen Youwei asked without changing his face, staring at the gushing Zhao Xiaowen.

"Spring City is the most important heavy industry development base in China, and if we want to effectively solve the problems here, we still need the effective integration of resources under the overall planning of our local government and the country, so that we can rejuvenate the somewhat lifeless heavy industry here!" The rise of Zhao Xiaowen's words, for a while, really meant to treat Chen Youwei as an ordinary audience.

Chen Youwei has a strong interest in Zhao Xiaowen, knows a lot about economic theory, and has his own own opinions, so some talented people are arranged to be on duty when the weather is so bad, obviously his situation is not very good.

"What's your name?" Chen Youwei flashed a thought and smiled.

Zhao Xiaowen was mentally prepared for this, and said in a deep voice: "Report to Mayor Chen, my name is Zhao Xiaowen!" ”

"Zhao Xiaowen?!" Chen Youwei's mind flashed the name and information on the list of candidates for his secretary reported by Fei Quanguo, and his heart was suspicious.

"You are Zhao Xiaowen? Graduated from the Department of Chinese at Chuncheng University? Chen Youwei's eyes flickered, he was strange that such an outstanding talent appeared on the report recommended by Fei Quanguo, could it be that his appearance at this moment was completely deliberately arranged by someone?

After carefully looking at Zhao Xiaowen, who was dressed in ordinary clothes and had a natural expression, Chen Youwei shook his head secretly.

I just came to the office on a temporary basis, and if it was really possible for people to lay out the plan for themselves in advance, the power of that person's unpredictable prophet was too amazing, which was obviously impossible.

It may be possible to come up with a tome that ordinary people are not willing to study, and it may be possible to wait for him here, but if he can answer his unexpected questions fluently, Chen Youwei smiled in his heart, if this Zhao Xiaowen is really that kind of person, just by virtue of his excellence, he may really have a strong interest in him.

"Yes, I graduated from Chuncheng University and have been working in the city government for almost seven years." Zhao Xiaowen's little heart was also jumping, he didn't expect his name to enter the ears of this young mayor who is said to have attracted strong attention in Huaxia.

"On duty on the big weekend, I'm afraid your lover is going to complain again, right?" Chen Youwei bowed slightly, but the topic changed rapidly.

"I'm not married, my girlfriends have blown a few, and now I'm single." Zhao Xiaowen's heart moved, and his tone was slightly nervous.

Chen Youwei stopped interrogating, glanced at the huge general office, and said with a smile: "Is there any chess?" Time is hard, and the two big men are boring just talking, don't you say? ”

Seeing that the young mayor in front of him didn't have too many official stands, Zhao Xiaowen smiled, took out a pair of chess pieces from the drawer and said with a smile: "Mayor Chen is quite familiar with the situation here, and when we usually have nothing to do, we really play a few games of chess." ”

Chen Youwei shook his head with a smile and sighed: "When I was a clerk in the office of the Shuiyang County Government in Yicheng, the two old comrades in the office were like this, I think this is also a major feature of the office, right?" ”

Zhao Xiaowen quickly set up the chess pieces, and said with rare flattery: "It is said that the Yicheng in Shannan was built by Mayor Chen, presumably Mayor Chen is very tired of the development of Yicheng, right?" ”

"I can't say that, the work is still done by comrades, if it is just me, I am afraid that I will be exhausted to death, and it will not be possible for the economy of Yicheng, which has a population of millions, to take off!" Chen Youwei was not polite when he picked up the chess pieces, and took a step ahead and said: "Be the first cannon!" ”

The kindness and modesty of the young mayor won Zhao Xiaowen's great favor, although he found that Chen Youwei's chess level was really not good, Zhao Xiaowen still dealt with it carefully.

Under the humility of Zhao Xiaowen, who is good at chess, the two of them are difficult to solve.

"Okay, let's stop here, Xiao Zhao is very good!" Chen Youwei, who was too addicted to chess, raised his wrist to look at the time, patted Zhao Xiaowen's shoulder, and left satisfied.

How Zhao Xiaowen, who suffers from gains and losses, thinks about it, Chen Youwei doesn't know.

However, through this morning's personal inspection, Chen Youwei's secretary candidate who came to Spring City obviously had a basic judgment in his heart.

As for whether some people have other ideas, Chen Youwei laughed it off.
