When Xu Wei came out of the office, he happened to meet Huo Yan, the director of the Civil Affairs Office.

"Xiao Xu, the county has promoted deputy section-level cadres this time, you have great hope." Huo Yan said with a smile.

Huo Yan is four or five years older than Xu Weiwei, and the two belong to peers with a common language, and they usually have more contact with the party and government offices and civil affairs, so the relationship between the two is better.

"Sister Huo, don't make fun of me, how can I have hope." Xu Wei smiled and shook his head.

After graduating from university, he took the civil service examination, and at that time, the public examination was not like now, and the specific positions were specific to the township and needed to be assigned by the county organization department.

Because Xu Wei's home is from other places, it doesn't matter to him, he was directly assigned to Hongshan Town, the most remote town in Qi County.

On the first day of arriving here, Xu Wei regretted it, the green mountains in the distance, the flowing water is dead, the scenery is charming, the environment is good, but the economic conditions are very poor, the dilapidated township government compound is the kind of house twenty or thirty years ago, the large conference room for the plenary meeting, or the product of the people's commune, the red brick is carved with a five-pointed star, which says the people's commune for the people.

Xu Wei had the feeling of traveling back to a few decades ago, compared with the prosperous life in the provincial capital, it was like a cloud.

It's not that he didn't think about resigning and leaving, but his mother didn't agree to anything.

So I could only stuff my head in this place where the birds don't poop and work for two years.

What Huo Yan said to him today, Xu Wei didn't dare to think about the promotion of the township deputy section.

The economic conditions of the family are very average, my father died five years ago, and my mother is an ordinary migrant worker in the factory, so she can't come up with money at all, so she runs for him.

But even if you have money, who should you go to if you don't know the place?

"The cadres promoted this time will be promoted from your administrative establishment." The corners of Huo Yan's mouth twitched, "We, the public institutions, are afraid that we don't have this opportunity." ”

Huo Yan's husband's family opened a factory, and the family was quite rich, so she originally planned to take advantage of the wind this time and get a half-official position, but she didn't expect that the threshold for selecting cadres was raised, which made her very depressed.

Covering the news that he didn't say, he simply told Xu Wei today.

Listening to her words, Xu Wei was really moved, because there is still a lack of a position as the Minister of Armed Forces in Hongshan Town, if everything goes well and he can become the deputy mayor, then he is not in this poor ravine, and he has been in vain for these two years.

"But I can't find a way." Xu Wei put his hands in his pockets and smiled wryly on his face.

Huo Yan looked at no one on the left and right, lowered his voice and said, "You just go to the second senior brother." ”

The second senior brother is Ding Changhe, the secretary of the town party committee, because he is fat and fat, less than 1.65 meters tall, but weighs 200 pounds, so people call him the second senior brother in private.

Of course, this is only limited to colleagues who have a good relationship, in front of some people, she doesn't dare to say that, after all, some people like to make small reports, you just finished talking here, maybe five minutes later, let Ding Changhe know, that's a big bad thing.

Turning his head to look at the time on the wall, at 8:45, Xu Wei said, "At this time, the leaders are in a meeting." ”

He hadn't given a gift, and he didn't understand the rules at all.

Huo Yan covered her mouth and giggled, her red nails were very eye-catching, "You're really funny, are you going to go to him like this?" ”

"Gotta go to his house."

As she spoke, she stretched out a finger, poked Xu Wei's strong chest, and said in a rather ambiguous tone, "Little fool." ”

With that, she turned and walked away.

Looking at her back as she twisted her body away, Xu Wei's little heart was beating wildly.

Today is Friday, Xu Wei decided to go to the county seat tomorrow and go to Ding Changhe's house to walk around.

However, plans have not kept up with the changes.

When he got off work in the afternoon, Xu Wei was standing in the yard, watching his colleagues return to their nests like little swallows, and when he was lost in his heart, a car stopped in front of him, and Huo Yan's car glass slowly fell, "Will you go home this weekend?" ”

"No return." Xu Wei said.

The railway station in Qi County is in the county seat, and when he usually goes home, Huo Yan drives him to the county seat, and then takes the train home.

"Oh, have a great weekend then." Huo Yan raised the car glass, the car had just started, but Xu Wei opened the car door and sat in.

"Hey, aren't you leaving?" Huo Yan asked in surprise, "Changed your mind so quickly?" ”

Xu Wei grabbed the backrest of the driver's seat with both hands, leaned over to her side and said, "I want to go to the county seat." ”

Tomorrow's bus will run at 7 o'clock in the morning and 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

The morning trip was too early, and Xu Wei was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get up.

And the trip in the afternoon was a little late, after all, I still have to withdraw the money, and then find Ding Changhe's home, in case it is delayed, wouldn't it be very troublesome?

It's better to stay in the county seat tonight, and tomorrow morning I will withdraw the money and send it to Ding Changhe, so that the time is very generous.

Huo Yan glanced at him meaningfully through the reflector, "Figured it out?" ”

"Hmm." Xu Wei said.

The car slowly drove out of Hongshan Town, and Huo Yan asked, "Do you know where the second senior brother's family lives?" ”

"I don't know." Xu Wei answered honestly.

Huo Yan suddenly rolled her eyes, "I don't know if I still give gifts, what do you think." ”

"You must know, right?" Xu Wei asked.

Huo Yan nodded, "Of course, but let me tell you, what's the benefit?" ”

Advantage?

Tell an address, and still need to bribe her?

The car slowly stopped, Huo Yan turned his head and asked seriously, "What good am I doing?" ”

There was a hint of confusion in her eyes, and small stars flashed in her eyes, releasing a fiery look, as if she wanted to melt Xu Wei away.

"What do you want?" Xu Wei was a little embarrassed.

Even a fool understands the meaning of Huo Yan's words.

However, I have always regarded her as a big sister, and I have never had this idea.

"Fool." Huo Yan's eyes gradually cooled, scolded in a low voice, continued to start the car, and went straight to the county seat.

Along the way, she taught Xu Wei a lot of things, how to give gifts, what to say, Xu Wei benefited a lot.

When I arrived at the county seat, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening.

Xu Wei got out of the car at the door of the Agricultural Bank of China, then ran to the ATM and took out the 40,000 yuan in the two cards.

Then, as Huo Yan said, he put the money into a wine box and went directly to Ding Changhe's house.

When he came to the door, Xu Wei's mood was called nervous.

Although Sister Huo taught him a lot, he was still nervous when it came to the end.

After puffing up his strength and taking a deep breath, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Squeak.

The door was opened, and it was a young woman.

"Chen Xiaohuan, why are you?" Xu Wei was a little confused.
