Chapter 107: Alienation
In the morning, there was a light rain outside, the whole Qingyang City was shrouded in rain and fog, hazy, not real, the weather seemed to be able to affect the mood, Zhou Jing from the time he got up, he felt indescribably depressed, drove to China Merchants, and still did not get better.
Pushing the door into the office, I saw that Liu Su'e had done a good job of hygiene, cleaned up all parts of the room, and put hot tea on the desk, she stood by the window with her hands on her shoulders, quietly staring into the distance, as if she was distracted, and she didn't even notice that someone came in.
"Xiao Liu, it's so early, what do you think, so distracted!" Zhou Jing smiled and walked over slowly.
Liu Su'e was shocked, hurriedly turned her head, glanced at Zhou Jing, hurriedly took a clean towel, handed it over, and said with a reluctant smile: "Director, it's nothing, I just thought that after the establishment is down, should I respond to the call of the bureau and go below to assist the township leaders." ”
Zhou Jing frowned slightly, wiped his wet hair with a towel, shook his head and said, "No, there is no need for this at all." ”
Liu Su'e smiled, her expression was a little unnatural, she lowered her head and returned to her seat, fiddled with the documents, and whispered: "Director, don't think about it, it has nothing to do with that, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I have already figured it out." ”
"I know, but it's not appropriate for you to go." Zhou Jing put the towel away, made it to the desk, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said softly: "At most, after the New Year, I will have to move." ”
"Move?" Liu Su'e was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses and said in surprise: "Director, are you going to be transferred?" ”
Zhou Jing nodded and smiled: "I just told you, don't tell it." ”
"Got it, Director." Liu Su'e lay on the desk, pulled the signature pen with her hand, and whispered.
Zhou Jing glanced at her, got up and went to China Merchants Stocks, and found that Qin Xiaoqian didn't come over, so he pulled a chair, put chess pieces on the table with Lin Fusheng, and played two games of chess, He Yufeng chatted with the two while embroidering.
This scene is very familiar, very similar to the days when he first came to China Merchants, but now Zhou Jing's identity has changed, and the two of them are extremely polite to him, and they no longer regard him as a fledgling hairy boy like they did at the beginning.
After talking about the latest lace news, He Yufeng changed the topic and hinted to Zhou Jing in a roundabout way that the bureau had overfulfilled the task this year, and he should give more bonuses at the end of the year to improve everyone's life.
He Yufeng immediately smiled, sang praises to Zhou Jing, and only said that after Director Zhou took office, China Merchants had a new look and remarkable achievements, and no leader had ever been able to win such a big project, nor did it bring such a big change to China Merchants.
Zhou Jing listened, but secretly frowned, thinking that it was true to win the big project, as for the change of China Merchants, it was not to be talked about, if you want to make a real change, it is necessary to make a real change and make a big adjustment to the existing personnel, otherwise, any move will be itchy and useless, just like now, he can neither change Lin Fusheng, nor He Yufeng, let alone others.
If the twenty or thirty people make a fuss and have a negative impact, it is to lift a stone to hit their own feet, if there is really that kind of situation, no one will think that Zhou Jing is making drastic reforms and doing business, and the leaders above will only think that he is less and more important, lack of ability, unable to hold down the position, and embarrassed.
Therefore, this kind of thing can not be rushed, can only be done gradually, slowly, unfortunately, the above did not give him enough time to complete the original three-year reform plan, the period of the year before, it is impossible to do much.
Of course, as He Yufeng said, this year's investment promotion task is a record-breaking, and Zhou Jing's achievements in China Merchants may be difficult for anyone to surpass in the next few years, which everyone knows, and anyone must be convinced.
It wasn't until ten o'clock in the morning that Qin Xiaoqian took a flower umbrella and entered the house, she put the umbrella away, put it on the wall, took off the white satchel, returned to the desk and sat down, looked down at the documents, and did not greet Zhou Jing from beginning to end.
He Yufeng noticed that the atmosphere was delicate, so he stopped what he was doing, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qin, why are you so late today?" ”
"Go get on something!" Qin Xiaoqian didn't look up, just flipped through the documents casually, and said indifferently.
He Yufeng ate the soft nails, was a little annoyed, frowned slightly, and changed the topic: "The weather is not good today, from more than five o'clock in the morning, until now, the rain outside has not stopped, but when I passed by the nearby elementary school, I saw that the children in the school were rehearsing the program in the rain, and they were all wet, like crawling out of the river, looking strange and distressed." ”
"There is no major festival, in the morning, the students do not go to class seriously, but they rehearse the program in the rain, isn't there something wrong, the Education Bureau can really talk nonsense!" Lin Fusheng threw down the chess pieces, took a large teapot and drank saliva, and said angrily.
He Yufeng pursed his lips and frowned: "Who said it wasn't, I heard that some leaders were coming, and tasks were arranged from above." ”
Lin Fusheng held the tea jar, squinted at the chessboard, and said curiously: "Who is such a big shelf, it won't be the governor, right?" ”
"I don't know, anyway, the official can't be small!" He Yufeng picked up the knitting needle and continued her embroidery, a lotus flower has been papered, and then embroidered with two swimming fish, this work is basically completed, sold to a small shop on the street, can make a net profit of fifteen yuan. She is ready to take this hobby as a part-time job, although the amount of money is not much, but it is also a large amount of money accumulated over time, which is enough to supplement the family.
Zhou Jing sighed and said softly: "It's Elder Yin who wants to come over, he used to be the mayor of our Qingyang." ”
"It's that old guy, isn't he already retired, why are you still tossing people!" He Yufeng was in good spirits again at this time, and told some stories about Mayor Yin when he was in Qingyang, but he didn't know where he heard it, adding fuel and vinegar, and belittled the old gentleman to nothing.
Zhou Jing had seen Yin Lao, so it was not easy to evaluate, he glanced back at Qin Xiaoqian, and found that Sister Qin was in a low mood today, and it seemed that she was in a bad mood, so she didn't bother in the past, played another game of chess, and got up and went back to the office.
When she got off work at noon, Liu Su'e had just left the office, and Qin Xiaoqian pushed the door and walked in, put a book on Zhou Jing's desktop, and said softly: "Director, this is the book you want." ”
"Director?" Zhou Jing was slightly stunned, looking at that pretty face, a little depressed, I don't know where I didn't do a good job, and offended this beauty again, so that she distanced herself from herself in terms of title, Zhou Jing smiled and said softly: "Sister Qin, it's raining outside, don't go home, let's go out to eat together at noon." ”
Qin Xiaoqian shook her head, and said sternly: "No, director, I still have something to do over there, so I have to go back first." ”
"Okay, let's do that another day." Zhou Jing was confused, watched her leave, reached out to pick up the book on the table, and saw that it was the first part of "Reminiscing the Years Like Water", "The Road to the Swakan Family", there was nothing left and right, so he opened the title page and read it slowly.
After reading the text introduction above the content introduction, I know that Swann is an indulgent and exiled person. Brother, Zhou Jing scratched his head a little, if he hadn't said that he wanted to watch the first part, he thought that Qin Xiaoqian's move had a special meaning, and he was taking the opportunity to mention himself!
Flipping through a few pages, an old photo suddenly appeared in front of him, the photo was a little broken, and a hole was burned out of the cigarette butt in the lower right corner, Zhou Jing was slightly stunned, picked up the yellowed photo, frowned, but saw the boy riding on horseback and waving a wooden stick in the photo, his appearance was somewhat familiar, there was a sense of déjà vu, he looked carefully for a long time, and suddenly realized that this should be a photo of Zhang Wuyang when he was a child.
He took the photo, looked at it for a long time, was a little surprised, put the photo aside, and flipped through the book in an uproar, and soon, found more than a dozen photos from it, these photos have a common feature, each of them, there is Zhang Wuyang's figure, from the naughty teenager, to the heroic and capable deputy captain of the criminal police team, these photos almost record Zhang Wuyang's entire growth process.
"This is the real reminiscence!" Zhou Jing's mood became extremely heavy, picked up the photo, looked at it again and again, and finally, put down a family photo of a family of three gently, lit a cigarette, frowned and took a few puffs, then got up and walked to the window, looking into the distance.
Such a book was too heavy, like a big mountain, pressing on Zhou Jing's heart, so that he couldn't read it at all, and he didn't even have the mood to eat, just frowned, pacing back and forth in the room, and his mood was extremely low.
For a whole afternoon, he locked himself in the office, holding a cigarette in his hand, looking at these photos one by one, his mood became extremely complicated, he naturally knew that Qin Xiaoqian's purpose for doing this was also faintly uneasy about what he did a few days ago.
It's like a downpour from the sky, extinguishing the fire that has just been ignited in his heart, his appearance at the moment is not much stronger than Liu Su'e next to him, both of them are listless and absent-minded, Zhou Jing looked at Liu Su'e at this time, there was a sense of sympathy, although the surname is not the same, but the feeling at this moment is not much different.
Even, the pressure on Zhou Jing's heart was even greater, in just two hours of work, he smoked a pack of cigarettes, and the room was filled with a choking smell, Liu Su'e was embarrassed to open the window, so she had to take the documents and go to the general office next to her, so that avoiding Zhou Jing, her mood was much better, at least there was no longer the embarrassment of looking at each other.
After getting off work, everyone had left, and there was no sound of footsteps in the corridor, Zhou Jingcai sighed, put the photo back in the book, packed up his things, and went to the China Merchants Office, he took out the key, opened the door, walked to Qin Xiaoqian's desk, opened the bottom drawer, and gently put the book in.
Sitting behind the desk, Zhou Jing touched the pen and wanted to leave a note, but after thinking about it, he always felt that this layer of window paper was still not broken, and everyone knew each other tacitly, and only showed it with actions, wouldn't it be better?
