On Thursday morning, Li Ji was reading a book in the office when his mobile phone rang.

He looked at it, it was an unfamiliar local landline number, so he ignored it, lowered his head and continued to read.

The phone quickly hung up.

A few minutes later, the phone rang again. Li Ji frowned, picked it up and looked at it, it was still the same number just now.

Is it selling a house again, or is it selling a product?

Li Ji was annoyed in his heart, and was about to hang up, when he suddenly found that this number was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

He hesitated, but picked it up.

"Hello, is it Mr. Li Ji?"

On the other end of the phone, a young female voice came from the end.

Li Ji was stunned, and couldn't help pricking up his ears, this voice seemed to have been heard somewhere.

"I'm Li Ji, may I ask if you are ......?"

"Mr. Li Ji, I am the ...... of the Personnel Department of Fengcheng Rural Credit Cooperative"

Personnel Department of Fengcheng Rural Credit Cooperative?!

Li Ji remembered all of a sudden.

This phone number is the contact number left on the recruitment announcement of Fengcheng Rural Credit Cooperative. This voice seemed to be the girl he met on the eighth floor when he went to get the admission ticket that day.

Sure enough, he heard the other party say again: "You forgot, we have met once, that is, the afternoon of the day you came to get the admission ticket......

"Well, well, I remember," Li Ji hurriedly responded, "You, do you have something?" ”

"Oh, that's right," the other party's voice slowed down, "Mr. Li Ji, I now officially inform you that you have passed the first round of written examination for the national recruitment of our Fengcheng Rural Credit Cooperatives and entered the interview process......"

"Oh, thank you."

Li Ji had already known his results from Han Mei's mouth, so he was in a calm mood and his tone was flat.

"Please bring relevant documents and attend the interview at 9:00 a.m. this Saturday in the conference room on the eighth floor of the Rural Credit Cooperative......"

"Okay, good ,....." Li Ji agreed, and suddenly felt anxious, "Wait!" You, you said it was nine o'clock in the morning on Saturday? ”

"Yes, Saturday morning, nine o'clock." The other party replied in the affirmative, word by word, "Subsequently, we will notify you again in the form of text messages, please pay attention to check." ”

"Yes, can you change the time?"

Li Ji's face was hot, and he was a little unfavorable when he spoke.

"What, Mr. Li Ji, is there a problem?"

"I, I'm going on a business trip on Saturday, I'm afraid I won't be able to go."

"Oh, that's a pity," the other person hesitated, "if you can't attend on time, you'll be deemed to have given up." ”

"Can't we just change the time?"

Li Ji was a little anxious, and his voice suddenly rose.

"Well, this may not work," the other party seemed to be very embarrassed, "because this is a national recruitment, and there are more people participating in the interview." We prioritize candidates from the city for interviews based on the distance traveled......"

"So, can you push back my interview?"

Li Ji interrupted her.

"If there are few people, you can also consider it;" The other party was a little regretful, "But there are too many people this time, if they are all like this, it will be messy......"

Li Ji was silent.

People say that it is a misfortune that does not go alone, and a blessing is incomparable. Today is good, but if a good thing doesn't come, it's just two.

But how could it be so coincidental, it was the same day, the same time.

Is this something that the Rural Credit Cooperatives and CCB have discussed in advance?

Li Ji didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

"Mr. Li Ji, are you still there?"

The other party listened to Li Ji for a long time and couldn't help but ask.

In, Lao Tzu has always been there.

You're gone. Your whole family is gone.

Li Ji didn't know where the anger came from, and he slandered unkindly.

"Well, let me think about it."

Li Ji was helpless, so he had to bite his lower lip and squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth.

"Okay, Mr. Li Ji, thank you very much for applying for Fengcheng Rural Credit Cooperative, goodbye!"

The other party's voice was full of enthusiasm and affection like a comrade-in-arms. Li Ji was moved in his heart, and countless grass and mud horses galloped past.

Putting down the phone, he threw the book aside, held his chin and thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

I used to think that as long as I had either of these two positions, I would be very satisfied; But when these two opportunities were presented at the same time, he suddenly found that he was reluctant to either one, and he didn't want to let go of either one.

Preferably, both.

It's hard to fill the craze.

It seems that man's desires are never-ending and never satisfied.

But you can't have both the fish and the bear's paw in front of you, no matter how reluctant you are, you must give up one.

Which one can you give up?

Li Ji made another difficulty.

After all, the troubles of happiness are also troubles.

Happiness comes too fast, like a tornado.

He stood up and walked back and forth in his office.

Looking at the light and shadow on the window, the shades of light and shade changed, and Li Ji's heart was disturbed, like a chaotic grass beach blown by a strong wind; There are several villains in my head, and they are constantly fighting.

His fists clenched and then released, his mouth muttering, his brow twisted into a line.

The shadow of the sun moved across the floor, slowly under the windowsill.

Finally, Li Ji stopped, gritted his teeth, picked up his mobile phone, and dialed Han Mei's number.

"Hey, you received the notice of the interview from the Rural Credit Cooperative, right?"

Without waiting for Li Ji to speak, Han Mei asked first.

"Well, you guys just called me......"

"That's good," Han Mei said, "I was about to call you." ”

"Hmm, hmm," Li Ji hesitated, but still opened his mouth, "Han Mei, that ,...... This, this, you, have you told your father? ”

"I, I'm ......" Han Mei stopped.

Li Ji's heart sank suddenly.

After a while, I heard Han Mei say again: "I told my father, he was very angry with you, and he said, ......"

Speaking of this, Han Mei suddenly stopped talking again.

Li Ji's face froze suddenly, and the hand holding the mobile phone couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Okay, don't say it, I know......"

Li Ji was about to hang up the phone, but heard Han Mei stumble and say, "Don't worry, I'll talk to my dad when I go back; And my mom ......."

"Well, thank you then."

Li Ji didn't want to say anything more, so he simply hung up the phone.

He leaned back in his chair and stared at the newly moved fortune tree in the corner, dazed.

After a while, Li Ji opened the drawer, took out a five-cent coin from it, looked at the front and back, held it in his hand, and gently tossed it.

Heads, tails.

Opposite, positive.

Front......

Reverse side......

Tossed, tossed, Li Jichang sighed, raised his hand, and threw the coin out.

The coin landed on the floor, rolled several times, and finally stopped under the couch, never to be seen again.

Li Ji slammed the table with his fist, and a smile bloomed on his face: "his grandmother's, since my father-in-law doesn't go out of the mountain, then I have to go to the province......"

After all, Governor Ye of the provincial bank said hello, maybe it would be more reliable.

Fish and bear's paws.

I just don't know which one is a fish and which one is a bear's paw. If you eat a lot of fish, you should choose a bear's paw.

After lunch on Friday, Li Ji and the others set off.

The bank specially sent a business car this time, accompanied by Chen Wen, the general manager of the personnel department.

Wang Wensheng sat in the back row, still looking faintly uneasy.

Last night he went to Tao Ping's house. Tao Ping told him that the provincial bank hired here is not a big problem, but an expert from the head office is not easy to operate.

However, Tao Ping also reassured Wang Wensheng. Of the five experts, four have been dealt with, so there should be no big surprises.

But at this time, Wang Wensheng looked at Li Ji and still felt that he was not very steady.

Along the way, none of the three spoke much. When you arrive at the provincial bank, check in directly at the provincial guest house.

Nothing was said all night.

At half past eight the next morning, the three of them came to the eleventh floor of the provincial bank office building and waited in a small conference room.

At nine o'clock, the assessment starts on time.

According to the order of the draw, Wang Wensheng was the first to appear.

About an hour later, Wang Wensheng came out. His face was red, sweaty, a little nervous, and a little excited.

Ten minutes later, Wang Wensheng's results were reported.

The scores given by the four external experts were: 9.1, 8.9, 9.0 and 9.0.

The score given by the experts at the head office is 8.1 points.

Wang Wensheng's final score: 44.1 points.

Except for the slightly lower score given by the experts in the head office, this should be a good result.

Wang Wensheng's face turned even redder, his breathing became heavy, and he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

Li Ji was also a little surprised, he didn't expect Wang Wensheng to play so well.

"Please enter Fengcheng in the luggage season!"

When Li Ji heard his name, he quickly calmed down, took a deep breath, and walked over.

More than an hour later, Li Ji walked out. There was a faint sweat on his forehead, but his expression was relaxed.

"How?" Chen Wen asked softly.

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead and said lightly.

Chen Wen gave him a blank look and looked down at his phone.

Wang Wensheng looked at Li Ji, his expression suddenly became nervous, and the joyful expression on his face suddenly faded a lot.

The three of them sat there, and no one spoke again.

Wang Wensheng's eyes were wide open, his body couldn't help writhing, and he looked more anxious than Li Ji.

Little by little, time passed.

After waiting for fifteen minutes, the door opened, and the reporter began to report the score.

"In the Fengcheng season, the scores of external experts are: 9.0 points, 8.5 points, 8.5 points, and 8.5 points......"

Li Ji was stunned, he didn't expect the score to be so low, obviously a lot less than Wang Wensheng.

Wang Wensheng's body suddenly loosened, and he glanced at Li Ji with some smugness. Li Ji's heart was shocked: Are you going to lose to Wang Wensheng?

"Bank's Expert Score: ....."

Li Ji and Wang Wensheng stood up almost at the same time!

“...... 9.7 ....."

"Li Ji's final score: 44.2 points!"

Wang Wensheng's face changed abruptly, his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground.
