In the large room of the second secretary of the general office of the ministry, there was only Wen Pu at this time. This is a multi-person office, and Wen Pu was here before he became Sunan's personal secretary. Now there are still simple desks and a few cabinets here, and his peers call him the deputy nest, and the main nest of course refers to the office in southern Jiangsu. The deputy nest is gentle and simple, and usually doesn't come much, but just stores some inconsequential things here.

The salary slip in his hand has been being fiddled with for a long time, and the energy seems to be looking for some kind of pain and sweetness related to the salary slip, but it is also more like waiting for money to be used, and I can't wait for a month's salary to get out of the salary slip one by one.

Wages have long been not paid in cash, they are all paid to the card, and the monthly salary slips are issued to let people verify whether there are any errors in various incomes. The simple salary is average, the name is the chief's secretary, that is just a false name of identity, and the salary is not on the same side, the money he earns every month is the salary of the department, a few thousand yuan, plus a bonus or something, but it is a large income of several thousand yuan.

In the past, when he got the salary slip, he didn't take it very seriously, and took a cursory glance at the mantissa number, that is, the total salary of the month, and at most looked at a few more main data.

The gentle gaze rubbed on the mantissa of the pay stub, and the eyes were blurred several times during the period, and the mantissa was changed, distorted, shaken, and floated several times......

Wen Pu took a pen from the pen holder, pressed the middle of the pay slip with his left hand, and drew a circle behind the total salary with the tip of the pen.

One lap and two laps.

Three laps, four laps.

Five laps and six laps.

Seven laps and eight laps.

Nine...... Wen Pu still wanted to draw a circle down, but unfortunately he couldn't draw it, there was no place on the pay slip, and in the last circle, half of the salary slip was drawn, and half of it was drawn on the desk.

Wen Pu dropped the pen, turned his sour neck, picked up the salary slip that he had revised the total amount, held it up in front of his eyes, and said one, ten, hundred, thousand, thousand, thousand, one million, ten million, ten million...... The feeling of a billionaire brought an illusory sweetness from his humble heart to his face, and he was stupidly happy.

Although Wen Pu now does not have astronomical savings, but there is no shortage of money to spend, his lover Zhu Taotao can earn more money than him, in addition to the income in the system, Zhu Taotao is also in a private oil company to share dividends, and then there are usually a variety of intermediary fees, labor fees, thank you fees or something to put in your pocket, a year down to get home money, enough Wen Pu to do nothing all day, just stay at home according to the petty bourgeois living standards consumption, spend ten years or eight years and have a surplus, and Wen Pu can not rely on dead wages, accompany the leader to a meeting, Research, visits, visits, exchanges, ribbon cutting, visits and guidance, etc., there is also some gray income.

Although Zhu Taotao can make money, she is not good at managing money, and the money is handed over to Wen Pu, who is the housekeeper. However, Zhu Taotao will beat people with money, she once said worriedly to Wen Pu, since the new era, most of the officials in various industries across the country are planted on money and color, you Wen Pu will have problems with women in the future, I Zhu Taotao has nothing to say, but if you have a mistake in money, I don't understand. When money is spent moderately, money is a slave to man; When there is no place to spend money, people are slaves to money. After hearing this that day, Wen Pu saw that Zhu Taotao's face was still serious, so he smiled and said, Your tone is quite the tone of a deputy ministerial-level leader. Zhu Taotao said disapprerovingly, you don't know what you want from a woman, but you must know what a woman wants from you? Wen Pu grinned and laughed. Zhu Taotao pushed him and said, be honest, I haven't finished class yet, and I haven't finished talking yet. Wen Pu smiled, and said like a thinker, to be at ease with a person, first of all, you must have confidence in that person, and then perseverance. Zhu Taotao nodded and said, I have confidence in being a fool. Work carefully and live in harmony, that's what you've said to me before......

Wen Pu tucked the pay slip into his trouser pocket, got up and stretched his waist, and was about to leave, when he suddenly realized that there seemed to be something to do, so he instinctively glanced at the desk. He sat down again, pressed his chest against the edge of the table, stared at the half circle on the table, and wiped it vigorously with the palm of his right hand.

On the way back to Sunan's office, Wen Pu met Lao Bi, the personal secretary of another deputy minister.

Expenses, right? Lao Bi asked with a wink.

From Lao Bi's expression, Wen Pu suddenly thought of the bet last year, and said angrily, do you want to bet on Lao Bi again?

Lao Bi shrunk his shoulders and said, bet on whether it will rain on the day of the opening ceremony of the 08 Olympic Games, I don't have that crow's mouth, stop cooking. After speaking, he shook the large brown paper envelope in his hand and walked away with a smile.

Wen Pu snorted. Last summer, when several ministerial-level leaders competed in swimming, Lao Bi didn't know which nerve was overly excited, so he had to make a bet with him gently, like Hong Kong people betting on horses, betting on the winners or losers of the leaders they served, and the bet was a month's salary (the salary happened to be paid that day). Wen Pu thought that it was not like that, and stepped back with a smile. Wen Pu doesn't care about a month's salary, the problem is that taking the leader as a gambling device seems to be a bit out of line, and if it is passed out in the future, it will not sound good, especially when it reaches the ears of the leader, how will the leader feel? The leader will not be happy to praise you for gambling with the leader as a horse, right? But he couldn't stand the old man's stubbornness, and Wen Pu could only play with him. The leaders say that it is a competition, but in fact, it is a matter of playing with the mood, who takes winning or losing seriously. However, Lao Bi is different, he bet on his leader to win, his leader couldn't bear it in the water, he stared, clenched his fists, and was secretly anxious, and later saw that Sunan was about to catch up, Lao Bi panicked, and actually shouted out the driver, which attracted some people's puzzled eyes. Wen Pu was suddenly nervous, pinched Lao Bi's thigh, and reminded Lao Bi in a low voice, what kind of driving, what are you calling Lao Bi. Lao Bi came to his senses and realized that the leader in the water was not a horse, so he didn't dare to speak out again. As a result, he was still unlucky and lost a month's salary. Lao Bi was happy, and the next day he took the simple month's salary, invited a group of secretaries to have a beautiful meal, and even pulled them to do a pedicure. However, Lao Bi didn't tell the secretaries why he invited everyone to eat, drink and pedicure, Lao Bi just vaguely said that he was happy today, happy, and money was a fart? If you have money, you don't spend it, and you lose it. As soon as Wen Pu heard that Lao Bi's mouth still had a door in a key place, his heart was steady, otherwise he would have come up with the end of spending money to buy sin.

At the door of the house that day, I was dizzy and gentle, and I drank again at a barbecue stall alone. The waiter didn't know if he had eliminated the tableware that had been sterilized, Wen Pu said that he would put on another set, and the waiter said that you were not alone? Wen Pu said that there was another one, and the waiter looked left and right, pouting and not saying anything more. I put together a plate of peanuts and edamame, asked for two strings of pork kidneys, and two bottles of beer. Wen Pu poured wine into the empty glass opposite him, and then filled his own glass. He squinted his eyes and stared at the wine glass across from him, and it took a long time before he spoke. He said in a dissatisfied tone, punish you with a cup, who let you swim today without working hard, causing me to lose a month's salary to Lao Bi. What? I'll drink it for you, no, it's not a social event in officialdom, today you have to drink it yourself, and it's all dry in one gulp...... The waiter squinted at him with a squint on his face. Drink, less rubbing, and dry it all in one gulp, or you'll be fined two glasses - it's not like that! Wen Pu's ears suddenly sounded Sunan's reproach, he was smart, got up and took the wine glass opposite, straightened up, and said to the empty table with a smile...... Being, taking Chinese medicine. In order to thank you for your warm banquet, Minister Su has done this glass of wine for me. Thank you again, and welcome you all for the opportunity to come to Beijing and be guests. The waiter who had been peeking at him shook his head and muttered, "My brain is in alcohol!"

After entering the office, Wen Pu calmed down, and then proofread a conference speech to be used the day after tomorrow. As soon as he read half a page, the phone vibrate, and Wen Pu saw that the number was from Bai Shiguang, so he answered.

Wen Pu has some rules and regulations for himself in the use of mobile phones, and he has always implemented them sloppily. For example, during working hours, whether the mobile phone uses vibration or ringtone, although there is no provision on this issue, he believes that as a personal secretary of a senior leader, it is more appropriate to use vibration during working hours. The problem with the bell is that even if it is turned to the lowest tone, it still has to be sounded, and in a certain occasion, at a certain time and in a certain atmosphere, the slightest unexpected sound may have a negative impact on the work being done by the leader and the quality of rest.

After saying kind words, Wen Pu asked Bai Shiguang if he had come to Beijing.

Shiraishi said that in the east of the rise of the Wen secretary. It's nothing, it's just that my mother asked me to call and ask, you and Uncle Su are not in Beijing, she is going to Beijing to see a doctor in a few days, and she wants to meet Uncle Su.

The image of Bai Shiguang's mother Peng Qing flashed in Wen Pu's mind, and asked cautiously, what's wrong with the old man?

Shiraishi Mitsumichi, old and sick, asthma.

Wen Pu asked again, do you want us to help?

Bai Shiguang said, it's all in contact, don't bother you Secretary Wen.

Wen Pu said, okay, I'll tell Minister Su when I go back, when you come, you call in advance.

Bai Shiguang's father was a teammate of Sunan in his early years, and in an accident to save Sunan, his left leg was broken by a steel pipe, and he was disabled and transferred back to a local cement factory in Dongsheng the next year, and died ten years ago. In the past, every time Sunan went to Dongsheng, he had to find time to catch up with Peng Qing, the widow of his life-saving benefactor. Peng Qing is also disabled, with only one arm, and now lives with his youngest son, Bai Shiguang.

Sunan is a person with a complex of repaying gratitude, when Sunan's former personal secretary left office, he had a detailed explanation to Wen Pu, so that he would worry more about the old chief in some specific difficulties of the Bai family in the future, and told Wen Pu that in the past, his two hands did not carry the worries of Peng Qing's family, and found jobs, settled households, and transferred houses for Peng Qing's children. Later, in the years when Bai Shiguang resigned to do business, the old leader did not use the phone to take care of Bai Shiguang's business, and he also approved the note twice.

In the past few years that Wen Pu has been Sunan's personal secretary, Bai Shiguang has not caused him much trouble, some small things have come and gone, Wen Pu has raised his hand to help, and sometimes he doesn't even need to alarm Sunan. Bai Shiguang's action trajectory in recent years, Wen Pu can still depict eight or nine inseparable ten. Bai Shiguang, who wanted to be famous, took the toothbrush all over the world as his home after resigning, lived a very freehand life, and earned some money, and returned to Dongsheng in time to open a trading company, and the business was okay at first. But then Wen Pu heard that he partnered with someone to do border trade business in Heihe and lost his hand, was cheated of more than 800,000 yuan, and almost threw his life over there, and after he came back, he changed the company into a game hall, and he lived a very wilted life, and the last time Wen Pu saw him was three months ago.

One day at noon, Sunan fell when he got out of the car, and couldn't get up after falling to the ground, so he was sent to the hospital for an examination, and the bones were not injured, but the heel tendon was lame. That night, Bai Shiguang didn't know where to get the news, and hurried from Dongsheng to Beijing, holding a large flower basket in his arms, saying that he was coming to see Uncle Su on behalf of his mother. Bai Shiguang didn't eat dinner, so Sunan asked Wen Pu to lead Bai Shiguang out to eat and entertain Bai Shiguang for him. On the way, Wen Pu asked Bai Shiguang what he wanted to eat, if he was interested in Peking duck. As soon as Bai Shiguang heard the roast duck, his neck stalked, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, It's okay to eat wotou big cakes, but don't eat any roast duck, dip the duck side things, I want to vomit when I hear it. Wen Pu asked him why, and Bai Shiguang said that he had duck phobia, and it was not ordinary fear, and he was afraid to the bones.

Bai Shiguang told Wen Pu a story about the duck.

That year, Bai Shiguang, who was just in his early twenties, went to his hometown of Wazidian with a few buddies to poach wild ducks and sell them. Someone from Wazidian responded and built two wooden boats. In the center of the lake, they met a flock of wild ducks, a scattered sand gun shot out, flying away from the water of the wild ducks, they fell in pairs, God knows how many wild ducks that year, such as the whole lake of wild ducks are concentrated in the center of the lake, held several times the lake duck congress, listen to the old duck king to make a summary report on the work of the past year, and then democratically elected a new wave of the lake duck leadership team and leader, the scene is too spectacular, too exciting, So far, Shiraishi's memories have not been able to be quiet. Shiraishi said that that day he was in charge of fishing for the wild ducks that fell into the water on the boat, and they died without any effort, and they were thrown into the cabin with a single hand, while those injured wild ducks who were going to die and scratch and struggle had to be dealt with before they could be thrown into the cabin. The treatment method is also simple, that is, grab the neck of the wild duck with both hands and twist it vigorously, the duck's neck snaps and breaks, and the problem of life and death is solved in the blink of an eye. As time passed, as the wild ducks kept falling to the surface of the water after the gunshots, and with the decline in physical fitness, the speed at which Shiraishi Guang dealt with the wild ducks was obviously not as rhythmic as at the beginning, and the two hands, which had already been stained red by duck blood, spasmed when they exerted too much force, and their hearts were still pounding, and countless injured wild ducks had escaped from his hands. When it was close to noon, the bloody hunt continued, and the crazy pleasure of hunting was still jumping in every cell of the gunman's body, Shiraishi Hikaru asked for a change of job, he didn't want to twist the duck's neck anymore, he was going to put a few shots, but the people who put the guns, at this time, it was difficult to put down the guns in their hands, Shiraishi Hikatsu's request was equivalent to fart. Dizzy, the sky is dark, Bai Shiguang's two hands are so numb that they are almost unconscious, and they have to use their strength to feed the dead ducks from the water. When his companion saw that he had let go of all the injured wild ducks, he complained loudly that he had neat hands, and that he should not grind like an old lady, because all that floated on the water was money! Shiraishi scolded his companion a few words, and then his face became stronger, and he puffed up his strength and continued to twist the neck of the wild duck. Later, Bai Shiguang's two hands were really useless, so he had to lie on the boat gang, and when he caught a half-dead wild duck, he bit his head with his teeth, clicking one, clicking one, clicking one...... After the white duck brain and the crimson wild duck blood were mixed in his mouth, they became sticky, and they flowed out along the corners of his two mouths, and then a companion who put the gun saw that his face was so cruel, his eyes were so frightened that he stammered, Shiguang, you come and put a few shots, I'll go twist the duck's neck. However, at this time, Bai Shiguang's eyes were red, and he may have gone a little crazy, and he no longer felt tired and disgusting, like an overloaded hunting machine, catching wild ducks, whether they were dead or alive, they all crushed their heads with a click, so that when it ended later, his face was simply impossible to see, and it was bloody......

That day, Wen Pu listened to Bai Shiguang's bloody experience, and his heart was numb more than seeing ants, goosebumps on his back, layer after layer, and he felt in a trance that he was not walking on the street, but stepping on the depression lake that Bai Shiguang said, the soles of his feet were soft, trembling, and from time to time he could kick a few wild ducks with his heads shattered, so that he forgot what he was going to do, and later if Bai Shiguang hadn't stopped and asked him where he was going to eat, he didn't know when he would have got.
