Cheng Mengshan They arrived the day before the National Day, and now it is still a single holiday, plus the small long holiday in the future has not yet been shadowed, except for weekdays and holidays, everyone has to work, and it is very good to arrive one day in advance.

On the day of arrival, Song Yuanchao, Sun Yaoliang and Lu Jun personally went to the train station to pick up people, because there were too many people, a small car would definitely not be able to sit down, and the careful Zhu Weijie specially helped to deploy a sea lion van.

Speaking of this van, people born in the eighties and nineties may rarely see it, but when it comes to the improved model of this van after the nineties and the new name Jinbei, you can immediately remember.

The sea lion that Zhu Weijie helped to deploy was a new car that the two offices had just purchased the year before last, and the car was in very good condition.

After all, the people who went to pick up were classmates, plus Song Yuanchao and Sun Yaoliang could drive, so there was no need to have a driver, and it was inconvenient for classmates to talk and chat with a driver.

Several old classmates arrived at about the same time, and the first to arrive were Pan Xiangdong and Zhang Jian, both of whom were from Sichuan Province and returned to Sichuan Province after graduation.

Pan Xiangdong is now working in a local organ, and his level is the same as that of Lu Jun, and he is a section-level cadre. Zhang Jian went to the company, and now he is the leader of a state-owned enterprise with a decent scale.

】

The two made an appointment to take the train together, at half past seven in the morning, their car entered the station, Song Yuan bought a platform ticket for them to enter the platform to pick up people, and after the car slowly stopped, several people's eyes went back and forth at each carriage, and soon Sun Yaoliang's eyes were the sharpest, and he saw Lao Pan and Zhang Jian who got off the train with luggage at a glance.

"Old Pan! Lao Zhang! Sun Yaoliang hurriedly greeted, Song Yuanchao and Lu Jun also saw them at this time, and the three of them hurriedly greeted them.

The reunion of old classmates was particularly cordial, and everyone hugged warmly and patted each other on the back.

"I said Lao Pan, I haven't seen you for two years, why is your belly so big? Wouldn't it be in the agency to eat and drink every day? That's not going to work, comrade, I see that your thinking is a little off. Sun Yaoliang stepped forward and hugged Pan Xiangdong, and after letting go, he looked at him who was obviously a little blessed, and asked with a smile.

"you, you're biased." Pan Xiangdong scolded with a smile: "Sitting in the office every day reduces the amount of exercise, and writing information every day without moving, can this person not be fat?" As for eating and drinking, the department I stayed in was a cold yamen, even if I wanted to cheat and cheat, I didn't have a chance. ”

"Hahaha." Everyone burst into laughter, Zhang Jian was no different from before, but he looked more mature.

"Where's the boss? He hasn't arrived yet? A few old classmates greeted each other warmly, and Zhang Jian asked.

"It's coming, the boss's car is later than you, and the time is almost up." Lu Jun looked at his watch and said.

Pan Xiangdong and Zhang Jian got married a little later than Song Yuanchao, and the children were able to play soy sauce, and several old classmates chatted enthusiastically, and continued to stay on the platform to wait for Cheng Mengshan's car. Cheng Mengshan's car was delayed for more than ten minutes, and the train he took finally arrived at the station nearly an hour later.

"Hello Mr. Cheng!"

Seeing Cheng Mengshan coming, Pan Xiangdong and Zhang Jian bowed to Cheng Mengshan together, and specially shouted like this, which made Cheng Mengshan stunned for a moment, and then couldn't cry or laugh.

When I was in college, these two guys were pistachios in the dormitory, and they were not less funny on weekdays, but I didn't expect them to be like this now. Cheng Mengshan laughed and scolded them for being improper, they were all leaders and they were the same as when they were students, but looking at familiar faces and cordial joking greetings, Cheng Mengshan returned to his college days for a while.

Everyone gathered on the platform with a smile, and then Song Yuanchao beckoned everyone to go together. When he got out of the station and came to the parking lot, when he saw the van they drove, Zhang Jian was still snorting in his mouth, saying that it would be good to have a big boss classmate, this car is really good, and it will be wiped out today.

Everyone got into the car, and Sun Yaoliang drove directly to the hotel.

When I had dinner with Zhu Weijie the night before yesterday, I specially asked if Song Yuanchao's classmates had been arranged, and when he learned that Song Yuanchao was still uncertain, Zhu Weijie took the initiative to take the matter over.

Anyway, the comrades from other provinces went back early this morning, and the rooms in the hotel were all empty, and it was a trivial matter for Zhu Weijie to say hello and arrange a few rooms.

In this way, Song Yuanchao did not shirk and agreed, and today I took Pan Xiangdong and Zhang Jian and learned that they had not arranged it yet, and Cheng Mengshan estimated that it was also, and it was confirmed when he got in the car in front, so he directly pulled everyone to the hotel, and after arriving at the hotel, he completed the formalities and stayed.

The reunion of old classmates, everyone's interest is very high, because Lu Jun is going to do a happy event tomorrow, so today is a good time for everyone to gather.

"Lao Pan, you just said that you sit in the office every day to write information? What exactly are you doing now? Drinking tea and chatting, Sun Yaoliang suddenly asked Pan Xiangdong beside him.

"Social Science Federation, have you heard of it?" Pan Xiangdong replied.

"The Social Science Union? How did you get over there? Sun Yaoliang was surprised: "I remember that when you were assigned, you went to the commission, right?" ”

Pan Xiangdong sighed and shook his head.

"What else can I do, Lao Pan has been rectified!" Zhang Jian suddenly said this, and everyone's eyes suddenly looked at him.

"It's not neat, it's my own problem, and I can't blame others." Pan Xiangdong gave Zhang Jian a look and said calmly.

"I said Lao Pan, you are not an outsider, what can't you say?" Sun Yaoliang criticized him dissatisfied, and then asked Zhang Jian: "Old Zhang, what is going on?" How did Lao Pan go to the Social Science Federation so well? ”

Zhang Jian hesitated, and finally told everyone the real situation.

Pan Xiangdong did go to the commission office at first, and because he was a graduate of Beijing Normal University, he was the deputy department after entering the commission office, which can be said to have a bright future.

However, Pan Xiangdong is a relatively upright person, and in addition, when he was studying at Beijing Normal University, he had a wide open eye, and he had some research and views on foreign economic issues, and after he came to work in the commission office, he often had a different thinking in his work from some old cadres and old leaders, in other words, he had a different collision with some economic and reform issues.

Because of the difference in ideas, Pan Xiangdong's views and views on some policies are also different, and it is precisely because of this that some leaders feel that he is not "stable", and because he later had a dispute with the leader on one matter, he was directly put into a separate book, and then he was put on small shoes, transferred from the commission office and assigned to the Federation of Social Sciences.

went to the Federation of Social Sciences, although Pan Xiangdong's deputy department became a regular department, and on the surface it seems to be a level up, but in fact, where can a cold yamen like the Federation of Social Sciences compare with the commission? Everyone knows that Pan Xiangdong has no future after going to the Federation of Social Sciences, and the best result is to stay up slowly in the Federation of Social Sciences, wait for more than ten or twenty years, and make a bureau level or something before retirement.

After listening to Zhang Jian's story, everyone sighed for a long time, and they all felt worthless for Pan Xiangdong.

If an outstanding young cadre is assigned to a department like the Federation of Social Sciences, his future prospects are simply bleak. On the contrary, Pan Xiangdong himself is nothing, he said with a smile that he also works in the Federation of Social Sciences, and he can do his work anywhere, and the work of the Federation of Social Sciences is also very important.

"Lao Pan, are you going to stay there forever?" Lu Jun frowned and asked, as a cadre, he knows very well what kind of department the Federation of Social Sciences is, and it is slightly better than the Archives Bureau and the Religious Affairs Bureau, what future can Pan Xiangdong have if he goes to such a place?

"Let's stay for a while, Sichuan Province is not as good as the coastal areas, and many places have outdated leadership ideas, and it is very difficult to change them. However, I think these perceptions will eventually change over time, and if this is the case now, it may not be the same in the future. Besides, there is nothing wrong with the Federation of Social Sciences, we have all studied political economy, isn't there a saying in political economy? Science is the primary productive force! ”

"The main work of the Federation of Social Sciences is to serve as a link of communication between social science workers and the commission and government, to be a bridge between the two sides, and to become a staff and assistant for the development of science. From this point of view, the importance of the Federation of Social Sciences is not dispensable as some people think. ”

"That's true, but it's not true!" Cheng Mengshan shook his head and said: "From the perspective of the functions of the Federation of Social Sciences, Lao Pan, you are fine, but if the ideology of local leaders does not change, the Federation of Social Sciences will still not play any role." Don't you forget, the Union of Social Sciences is not a decision-making department, but only provides references and suggestions, and what can you do if such references and suggestions are not approved by the higher authorities? ”

"The boss is right!" Sun Yaoliang nodded, turned to Pan Xiangdong and said: "Old Pan, it's not that I discourage your enthusiasm, what you can't do in the commission, do you think you can do it if you go to the Federation of Social Sciences?" ”

Pan Xiangdong smiled bitterly, sighed lightly and did not speak again.

"Lao Pan, I don't think you should do it in the Social Science Federation." Song Yuanchao, who had never spoken, suddenly said this.

"Don't do it? If you don't do it, will you go to the business? Aid to the DPRK, forget about this, I am self-aware, but I am not the material for the enterprise, otherwise I would have gone to work in the enterprise like Lao Zhang, and I have self-knowledge about this. ”

"What kind of company are you doing, since you want to continue working in the government department, change places. Isn't there an old saying, the tree moves the dead and the living, and there is no place for the master here. Why do you continue to stay with the Social Science Union? Isn't that a waste? ”

"What the aid to the DPRK said is right, Lao Pan, you can consider this matter, to be honest, you are in the Social Science Federation." Cheng Mengshan nodded.

"I also think what the third brother said is right, Lao Pan, I persuaded you on the way here, and now everyone thinks the same, I think you should think about it." Zhang Jian also persuaded.

Pan Xiangdong let out a long sigh, shook his head with a wry smile: "It's easier said than done, how can job transfer be so simple?" If I had this possibility, I would have left the ...... long ago. ”
