As soon as Xiao Bifu saw Lao Mai enter the door, he got up and stood up, looked at the black yarn on his arm, and asked with concern: "Mai Ke, come back so soon, the funeral at home has been done?"

"Alas, I'll be back when I'm done," Lao Mai put down his briefcase on the edge of his desk, and suddenly reminded, "I said Xiao Bi, ah no, Bi Ke, let's call it according to the new position." ”

Xiao Bi said with a smile: "Okay, listen to the old leader, Director Mai, do you want to take an extra day off and relax?"

Lao Mai remembered something again and said: "No, there are so many things at work, I will go to the commission to return the car keys first, eh, when will the money for the housing reform be paid?"

Xiao Bi scratched his head and said, "I don't know about this, why don't you go to the commission office to return the car keys, and then ask by the way?"

"That's okay," Lao Mai then remembered that Xiao Bi was still unmarried, and at that time, the city's government units, unmarried young people were not qualified to divide the house, so naturally this first batch of houses for sale had nothing to do with him, so he would not care.

Lao Mai Jing went to the commission office to return the car keys, asked for the money to be rebuilt before the end of September this year, and then returned to the office of the Industrial Section along the corridor.

On weekdays, Lao Mai always talks and laughs with his colleagues in the committee, he is a very good person, very easy-going, and now his father has just died, he still has a black gauze on his arm, and the colleagues he met in the corridor just say hello, a simple greeting, and it is not good to laugh with him again.

He was in a very depressed mood now, and he didn't have the heart to talk and laugh with people as usual, so he discussed with Xiao Bi, and sat in the office silently all morning to rush to work, striving to finish the project materials pulled down at hand as soon as possible, and then re-divide the handover with Xiao Bi.

After lunch, Lao Mai touched the napkin to wipe his mouth, and inadvertently brought out the business card of his brother-in-law Aunt Liu, looking at it and remembering the words of Aunt Liu with hints at that time.

So he thought about it, since there is tea to drink, it is better to drink sooner rather than later, immediately took out his mobile phone to dial Aunt Liu, and as soon as he connected, he said respectfully: "Hello, are you an uncle? I am Liu's wife and brother Wheat." ”

"Ouch, it's Brother Mai, have you returned to work with the Planning Commission?"

The voice from the mobile phone was full of surprises, it was Aunt Liu who met by chance on the day of the funeral in his hometown, of course, he was so polite to Lao Mai, of course, there is a reason, as the CEO of a state-owned enterprise, to apply for industrial infrastructure projects, it is inevitable to deal with the industrial section of the Development and Planning Commission, and there are acquaintances who are easy to do.

He then greeted him with a few words about how the funeral was done, and then talked about the business he wanted to mention under the pretext of drinking tea.

Not long ago, the four major teams in the city were re-elected, and he was transferred to the executive deputy of the CPPCC, retiring from the second line, and the leaders of the municipal party committee took care of him and gave him a few more recommended candidates.

"Now that the re-election of the city-level team and the adjustment of the department are basically over, he still has a non-party deputy department on hand, and it is difficult to find candidates, so let me help find it, I remember that Ah Liu said, you have always been a deputy non-party cadre, and you plan to recommend it to the old minister, see what you mean?"

Hearing Aunt Liu say so many words in one breath, Lao Mai's originally somewhat wooden mind suddenly became confused, this, what is this...... You're pie in the sky!

After graduating from university, he was assigned to a certain state-owned enterprise, and he has been working diligently, and after a year, he was seconded to the Municipal Economic Commission, and then he was formally transferred to the Municipal Economic Commission, and he was only promoted to the deputy section after six or seven years, and then he was transferred to the Municipal Planning Commission (later changed to the Municipal Development and Planning Commission, and after the new century, the Commission for the Reform of the System will be merged and renamed the Municipal Development and Reform Commission) and he is still a deputy section.

After a few years, he only turned forty years old, and he was promoted and secretly demoted to become a second-line chief clerk, thinking that his life's career would end here, who knew that God would give him such an opportunity, how could he not accept it.

So, Lao Mai was deeply happy to fall from the sky, his voice couldn't help trembling, and he nodded again and again and admitted: "I'm fine, no problem, thank you uncle for help, thank you so much." ”

Uncle Liu's voice on the mobile phone seemed very satisfied: "Okay, you prepare your resume as soon as possible, it's best to print it out and look solemn, and then wait for my notice." ”

Lao Mai, who didn't know when the other party hung up the phone, was still holding the phone and covering his ears, and in an instant such a big pie fell, which made him at a loss.

After walking for a long time, he walked to the door of the elevator up, and he almost hit the marble wall, and then he came back to his senses.

Lao Mai took a long breath, forcibly pressed the excitement of extreme ecstasy, straightened his clothes, opened the elevator door, and Shi Shiran walked in.

At noon, several people in the department took a nap in their own postures, only Lao Mai did not feel sleepy at all, and kept busy at the desk.

He didn't do anything else, he wrote his resume in Gongkai, and when he went to work in the afternoon, he went to the printing room to ask the typist to help him print, and then treasured it into an official envelope.

Lao Mai's mood was all in excitement and joy all afternoon, after all, he is also middle-aged, and he has worked in the agency for many years, and his qi cultivation kung fu is very rewarding, his face is completely silent, and he does not show his mouth at all, only doing his aftermath and handover work quickly in his hands.

Even Xiao Bi couldn't see anything, but he just felt that Lao Mai was an old comrade after all, and he asked for a few days of mourning leave to come back, and in just one day, he completed the backlog of official duties for many days, which made him feel admired, and at the same time felt the difficulty of catching up.

Only the two young men and women from state-owned enterprises who were seconded occasionally muttered that Mai Ke and Director Mai seemed to be too brave and enterprising today, not as stable as in the past.

At the end of the afternoon, Lao Mai pulled out his "Everest Heroic" scooter in the underground garage, rode it and drove to his residence in the old dormitory of the former Planning Commission cadres.

With the slow flow of pedestrians and traffic after work, Lao Mai, who was halfway through the bike, suddenly remembered the incident that caused his heart to beat strongly when he passed by the city museum a few days ago.

Although he was not young, his curiosity was still strong, not to mention that this was a strange thing related to his body and mind, so after thinking about it, he turned around and drove through the streets and alleys in the direction of Shizhong Avenue.

It took more than 20 minutes for Lao Mai to come to the front of the city museum, which had long been closed at this time, and only the long banner hanging high on the lintel in the evening breeze.

Lao Mai stopped his motorcycle with one foot and approached the large iron gate of the museum, confirming that there was something really attracting him in this building.

Let him once again really feel his heart beating violently, and even have a pulling feeling, as if he was about to pull him in the air.

Old Mai pondered for a while, turned the front of the car, increased the throttle and left, and for a while, the feeling of stimulating the strong beat of the heart gradually lessened and disappeared.

As soon as he left, he decided to find a time to open the museum another day, and go in to see what it was, and when it was close, it would make his heart beat violently.

Lao Mai went directly to his home, boiled some egg noodles, put the bowl on the coffee table, and thought about everything that happened during this time while eating.

Lao Mai's dormitory was a fashionable brick and concrete house in those years, with only two bedrooms and one living room of about 60 square meters, which was assigned to him by the committee when he was transferred to the Planning Commission a few years ago.

Although he had just been divorced at that time, after all, he was a married person and a middle-level cadre in the deputy section, anyway, there was a surplus of housing in the committee, and he was given a set of two bedrooms and one living room that was standard at that time.

His somewhat childish marriage has lasted for almost ten years, and he has a son, and the son is not much like him when he grows up to be seven or eight years old, but he didn't think much about it, he never thought that one day a few years ago, a man came to him to ask for a son, and he suddenly woke up.

The man was the owner of a private company with a wide range of skills, and he directly asked him to go to the teahouse outside to negotiate the terms privately, promising to give him a certain amount of compensation, and then he would take his son away.

Lao Mai and his best friend Lan Xinbo in college, when they were young, they liked to group up with girls, and they couldn't walk when they saw beautiful women.

Lao Lan is tall and handsome, Lao Mai is only 1.7 meters tall, his face is flat, and his appearance is passable, but he is not inferior to Lao Lan.

But Lao Mai had to compete with Lao Lan, and he was willing to give up if he found a wife who was more beautiful than his wife, and the result was also as he wished, but he didn't think that there would be that kind of thing in the future, it seems that he has been raising a son for ten or eight years.

When Lao Mai saw his ex-wife, he was shocked and chased after him frequently, but in the end he seemed to be moved by the other party suddenly, and he went to Wushan once, and the woman promised to marry him immediately, tie the knot, and conceive a son prematurely in August after marriage.

Lao Mai didn't pay attention to anything until the cheap son's father appeared, and then he realized that he was actually just an adoptive father.

It turned out that his ex-wife had long been the boss's little lover, and she deliberately became pregnant to blackmail the man to divorce his wife, and then the junior took the position, but his wife didn't do it, and after some trouble, the man had no choice but to give up his little lover.

As a result, the little lover was abandoned and did not want to live, and he was afraid that the abortion would hurt his body too much, so he accepted Lao Mai, who was infatuated and hard to chase, as a cheap husband.

Later, his son was born, Lao Mai had a stable job, a lot of income, good financial management, no worries, and a safe and prosperous family.

I never thought that the private business owner's private life was too erosive on weekdays, and his wife only gave birth to a daughter in her early years, and she could never give birth to a son and a half.

After going to the hospital for examination, it is because the man has always been too indulgent in his private life, so that he has long lost the ability to reproduce, the man's former family is in the countryside, and the family has a strong sense of "no descendants, raising children to prevent old age, and passing on the ancestry", and he always suffers from being unable to have children.

Later, for some reason, he learned that the son born to the marriage of his former lover looked very much like himself, and he was overjoyed to take the opportunity to secretly coax the child to do a paternity test, and the result came out to confirm that it was his own parent, so he openly went to talk to Lao Mai, and suddenly proposed to return his biological son.
