Chen Xu returned to the unit just in time for lunch. Because it was a holiday, there weren't many people eating in the cafeteria. Most people in the unit didn't know Chen Xu, but she didn't look around when she ate, Chen Xu's idea was that when they got in touch slowly, everyone knew each other, and there was no need to pay special attention to others.

Because there were few people eating today, and they were not as scattered as they usually sit, the food staff in the cafeteria brought the dishes to the table. There are fewer people eating on Saturdays, Sundays, and dinners, so everyone sits at the same table. In fact, Chen Xu came to work for a few days, and found that there were more people who came to eat in the morning, and many young people did not eat at home in the morning, but went home after work in the evening. The meals in the cafeteria at night are relatively simple, but Chen Xu likes this life very much and no longer has to worry about three meals. So even though the meals were simple and ready-made, she felt that it was already good.

Sitting at a table today were leaders on duty and staff working overtime, because there were leaders, so two staff members working overtime took the opportunity to complain about how tired. Chen Xu didn't make a sound, and ate silently, and the chef wiped his hands and stood by and watched them. After a while, a few minutes later, the chef asked Chen Xu, "Chen Xu, I heard that your home is from Beicheng, why didn't you go home this week?" Chen Xu smiled, "I went to Beicheng in the morning and came back." A middle-aged man who looked like a leader next to him asked him, "Is your home from Beicheng?" Chen Xu nodded, and the man said, "Our Dragon City and Beicheng are close to each other, and there are many people here who are from Beicheng." Chen Xu nodded, but smiled silently.

After eating, the leader and several other people on duty left overtime, Chen Xu finished and brushed his plate clean, and the couple in the canteen hurriedly said: "Oh, no need, you can just put it there." Chen Xu smiled, "It's a good thing." The husband and wife were very happy and must pull Chen Xu to eat watermelon. Chen Xu heard Li Chang, director of the Political Department, say: The couple who contracted the canteen are relatives of the leaders, so everyone dare not underestimate them. The young man called the chef Master Lu, and his wife Aunt Liu, and Chen Xu also used this title according to the local customs, she said happily while eating watermelon: "Thank you, Aunt Liu." Liu Yun looked at her and said, "You are a good child, generous, not twisted or pretentious, and now there are very few children like you." Chen Xu was a little embarrassed, "Aunt Liu, you're embarrassed to praise me, how can I be so good, I'm just an ordinary person." Liu Yun said, "I'm not holding you to say, this is the truth, you also saw it when you ate in the cafeteria, how did these children eat?" I don't know, I thought that my family had a mountain of gold and silver. ”

Chen Xu didn't answer, she understood what Aunt Liu meant, there was a girl named Gao Jiaqi in the unit, who was a temporary worker, who only ate egg whites and never ate egg yolks when she ate breakfast every day. One morning, Gao Jiaqi peeled five eggs in a row, and then threw the yolks on the dinner plate. Chen Xu asked puzzled, don't you eat egg yolks? Gao Jiaqi said as a matter of course: "Yes, I don't eat egg yolks, I choked on this thing, so Chen Xu pushed his dinner plate forward and said, "Then you give it to me!" Chen Xu put these egg yolks into the porridge, crushed them with a spoon and ate them with the porridge, and then the two of them ate eggs together every morning, Liu Yun saw it in her eyes, she knew that Chen Xu was to avoid waste, because on Saturdays and Sundays, Gao Jiaqi did not go to work, and Chen Xu ate the egg yolk with egg white.

Since then, Liu Yun's favorability towards Chen Xu has gradually increased, and Chen Xu did this not to please anyone, but because he had a life of lack of food and clothing when he was young, so he developed the habit of not wasting food.

Liu Yun sat down and said to Chen Xu, "You are a civil servant, but you are learning with your own real talent, unlike Gao Jiaqi, who is a leader and a relative's child, you just went to work, those temporary workers can't be underestimated, they are all people with a way." Chen Xu nodded, and thanked Liu Yun for his guidance. Liu Yun said again: "You have just been here for so many days, everyone is talking about it behind your back, you are so good-looking, it is certain that you will be noticed by others, and the driver who drove said that a man came to see you off that day and drove a very expensive car." Chen Xu smiled, "That's my relative helping me deliver my luggage." ”

Liu Yun smiled, "Originally, I didn't want to talk about this, I was too busy with my own affairs, and it was not so easy to serve these people every day, but I heard a few girls say that the clothes you wear are very expensive, Chen Xu looked down at his clothes, before coming to work, Liu Jingsheng bought a lot of clothes for Chen Xu, although Chen Xu repeatedly said that he didn't need to, but Liu Jingsheng still went his own way." I didn't expect that everyone was quite knowledgeable, and even though the trademark was removed, people also knew each other. Chen Xu looked at Liu Yun, "Auntie, it's very difficult at home, these clothes were given by my relatives after I was admitted to work, and they can be regarded as gifts to congratulate me on being admitted to work!" ”

Liu Yun was still sitting on the side, sighed and said, "Alas, you kid too, why don't you inquire before you get here?" There are a lot of things in your department in our unit, and I don't understand all the miscellaneous things all day long. But on Saturdays and Sundays, and even at night, you work overtime, and few people want to stay in your department, and those who stay are generally new and have no background. Everyone who has a little way goes to those litigation departments or something, and they are all rushing to become a prosecutor in the future. ”

Chen Xu replied, "Aunt Liu, I'm not self-motivated, I just want to have a stable job, I'm not afraid of being tired and tired, I'll pay my salary when the day comes, and then I won't have to worry about eating and drinking, so it's good." Liu Yun's husband walked away, wiped his hands with a towel, and said with a smile, "You are a beautiful little girl, you don't have to be too tired, you work for a long time and well, find a partner and find a good family conditions, what do you want." ”

Liu Yun put away the watermelon rind and watermelon seeds that the two of them had eaten, and asked, "What does Chen Xu like to eat, tell Auntie, I will help you make it on Saturdays and Sundays when there are few people." Chen Xu said: "Thank you, Aunt Liu, but I'm not a picky eater, the dishes you cook are delicious." ”

Although Chen Xu is not familiar with everyone, because there are only a few new civil servants in the procuratorate, everyone soon became familiar with the names of the newcomers, and some people kept inquiring about their family background. Chen Xu is the most beautiful of the girls in the hospital, on the day Chen Xu first came, Liu Jingsheng's car attracted the attention of some people, plus Chen Xu's clothes are all famous brands, so Chen Xu once became the center of the topic, and everyone was very curious about her. A few days later, someone with good deeds found out some specific circumstances of Chen Xu, and the deputy procurator general's driver was from Beicheng. He learned Chen Xu's household registration address and parents' names through Li Chang. Soon this person actually inquired: The largest nightclub in Beicheng, the Emgrand nightclub, was opened by Chen Xu's father, Chen Zhigang, and the other people in the courtyard soon knew, in fact, most of the people in it had been to Emgrand in Beicheng in their spare time.

has a father who runs a nightclub, and it is not surprising that Chen Xu wears brand-name clothes and has relatives who drive luxury cars. The only thing I don't understand is that Chen Xu doesn't drive, he doesn't buy a house in Longcheng immediately, and he doesn't run between Longcheng and Beicheng. But someone gave the answer himself, saying that Chen Zhigang must be preparing to buy a house for Chen Xu in Longcheng, and it is estimated that it has not been renovated. These were transmitted to Chen Xu's ears through Liu Yun's mouth. Chen Xu couldn't cry or laugh, everyone made up their lives colorfully.

Now Chen Xu is not so resentful of Chen Zhigang, although he has not forgiven him. I just feel that this person doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, there is no need to ruin my good mood, and there is no need to waste my time thinking about this person. As for his mother, Chen Xu doesn't care about it, because no one has cared about his life or death for so many years, let alone asking for warmth, Chen Xu is very satisfied with his current work and living conditions. Others worked overtime and complained, but Chen Xu didn't take this matter as a burden, thinking about how much he had suffered for life since he was five years old, and he was much harder when he went to school than now. Chen Xu's optimistic and unafraid work attitude is appreciated by Li Chang, but it has slowly aroused the disgust of some people, especially Gao Jiaqi. Gao Jiaqi never works overtime, because civil servants have no overtime pay for overtime, and can only take compensatory leave or compensatory leave, so the Political Department often works overtime and has never paid overtime pay, Gao Jiaqi, as a temporary worker, of course, is unwilling to work overtime in vain, so she will leave immediately when she gets off work, no matter how urgent the work is. Although Li Chang was dissatisfied, he never said it clearly.

One day, Chen Xu and Li Chang worked overtime until more than 12 o'clock in the evening, Li Chang yawned and said, "I haven't slept all night, let's welcome a new day with work." Chen Xu rubbed his eyes and stared at the computer all day long, also tired. Li Chang patted Chen Xu on the shoulder and said, "It's too late, I'm not going back." Let's go to the lounge and take a break! Although it was late, Chen Xu still washed lightly before lying on the bed. After turning off the lights, Li Chang, who should have fallen asleep, suddenly spoke, "Chen Xu, you must have suffered a lot when you were a child, right?" ”

Chen Xu was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "My parents are divorced, no one cares about me, I am with my grandmother, and my grandmother has no source of livelihood, so we have to do everything." Li Chang said: "I listen to Zhang Xiaoli, the driver of our unit, about your business." In fact, don't blame everyone for gossiping, when a newcomer comes to the unit, everyone is very curious, but when you look at your work status, you are a child who has suffered hardships, and now even temporary workers like Gao Jiaqi can't accept overtime, no wonder, now the temporary workers in various units have backgrounds. As he spoke, Li Chang yawned again, "Chen Xu does a good job, the work is not for others, it is for himself." The leader's eyes are not blind, he can see. As he spoke, he turned to stop talking, and after a while he remembered a slight snoring. Chen Xu smiled, and soon fell asleep.
