Chapter 3 Old Ministers
So, Lao Mai took his ex-wife, ex-son and the boss of a private company to a teahouse to negotiate, in the negotiation process, the boss only wanted to get back his son, at that time, he said in a big tone that there was such a meaning, that is, while you are still young, it is still too late to have another one.
I never thought that the ex-wife saw her old lover again, and she couldn't bear the feelings of the past, so the old love sprouted, and she wanted to return to the old man's arms with her son.
At that time, although Lao Mai was full of resentment after experiencing a sudden change, his years of officialdom made him understand that he couldn't fight this kind of world-making private company boss.
He was full of anger and was silent until the end, and only said two words: "I will fulfill you, I will sign the divorce," and as soon as he finished speaking, he got up and walked away, without saying a word about compensation or anything.
The couple, who seemed to be in love at first and later learned that they were okay, quickly completed the divorce procedures, and the ex-wife took the clothes belonging to the two mothers and sons, and left with their son without any nostalgia.
Lao Mai, who was alone, inevitably saw things and thought about people, and did not want to live in the original house anymore, so he immediately tried every means to transfer his work, so after being transferred to the Municipal Planning Commission, he was assigned to the two-bedroom and one-living room where he currently lives, and has been living alone until now.
At that time, although Lao Mai was reluctantly divorced, but the mother who loved her only grandson did not know the inside story, since she learned that her son was divorced, but the grandson was sentenced to take away by her daughter-in-law, Mai's mother immediately became furious, ran to scold her son, and ordered him to hurry up and snatch his grandson back.
Lao Mai had a bitter word, let the old mother scold, hit his head with a broom, and didn't say a word.
Mai's mother saw that scolding and beating her son was ineffective, so she rushed to find her former daughter-in-law to return to her grandson, and after a complicated crying and scolding, she was shocked to learn the inside story, but for a while she couldn't come back in one breath, and fainted on the spot.
The former daughter-in-law hurriedly called the 120 emergency center and asked an ambulance to send Mai's mother to the hospital for rescue.
Mai's father felt sorry for his deceased wife, and hated his son, as soon as he saw Lao Mai, he picked up a broom and scolded endlessly, always saying that the unfilial son was angry with the old mother to find a mountain to worship, so scared that Lao Mai would not easily go back to his old house to find beating, scolding, and abuse.
Now, even the old father has been doing it for many days, and the old Mai Muran is sitting on the wooden sofa at the bottom of the hall, sandwiching the egg noodles that don't know the taste, and he is thinking about the past one by one.
He put the half-eaten noodle bowl on the glass coffee table, leaned on the wooden sofa on his back, twisted his eyebrows with his fingers, and thought about what had happened for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt.
First of all, my father died suddenly of a heart attack, and Aunt Liu immediately appeared to provide a recommendation opportunity, and on the way home, I felt my heart beat violently through the city museum, and several things that were not related to each other appeared together in a short time.
I can't help but think to myself, what is going on with you, whether it is a sign of prosperity or a disaster, no matter how you speculate, it is unpredictable.
The more Lao Mai thought about it, the more he felt a faint pain in his head, and the more he thought about it, the more he was embarrassed, and then he simply ignored it, swallowed a few mouthfuls of egg noodles, and sat down in front of the computer to dial up the Internet to do the day's stock market homework.
Since 93, the mainland's mainland Shanghai and Shenzhen stocks can be traded online, and large and medium-sized cities across the country can open accounts to buy and sell stocks in the local securities department.
Lao Mai entered the market at the right time to test the waters, relying on his ability to analyze the market that he had cultivated in college and economics for many years, and he had been in the stock market for several years.
Now he has hundreds of thousands of funds and chips in his account, so in the past five or six years, he has developed the habit of analyzing the securities market and doing homework every night.
Lao Mai is frowning and looking at the DOS version of Qianlong stock market software, he has long paid attention to several stock K-line charts, repeatedly comparing their trends and various technical indicators.
Suddenly heard the mobile phone ringing, he took it over and took a look, it turned out to be Aunt Liu calling, so he answered the phone and replied respectfully: "Hello uncle, you haven't rested so late?"
"Hehe, Brother Mai, it's not late at nine o'clock, I'm outside, are you at home now?" In the receiver of the mobile phone, Aunt Liu's hearty laughter came at the right time.
Lao Mai replied with a smile: "Yes, uncle, it's okay at night, I'll browse the web news casually on the Internet." ”
"Then you are free now, can you come out for a while?" Aunt Liu asked with a smile on the phone.
"Yes, I can go out at any time, where are I going to find you?" Lao Mai then clicked to turn off the computer, held the phone and stood up.
Aunt Liu said: "I'm with the old minister now, drinking tea in a small box in a certain teahouse, you know the place, you can come over quickly." ”
"I know, please wait, I'll be there soon," Lao Mai heard this, and his heart immediately became excited, and he hurriedly put on his coat and pants, put on his leather shoes, and picked up his briefcase to go out.
Suddenly stopped to think about it, then turned back to the inner pocket of a tweed coat from the wardrobe, took out a stack of unopened 100 yuan banknotes, sealed them in a medium-sized envelope, put the printed personal resume envelope into it, put it into the briefcase together, and hurriedly went out.
Just after half past nine in the evening, Lao Mai rode a scooter and stopped in the courtyard outside the elegant teahouse.
He asked the waiter in the teahouse, and quickly found the small box where Aunt Liu and the old minister were drinking tea, dressed solemnly, and then knocked lightly on the door to enter.
In the box, only two old men in their sixties, with red faces, sat on either side of a coffee table carved from the roots of an old tree, brewing kung fu tea while sipping yellow tea in a traditional small teacup.
I saw Lao Mai bowing down and walking in, and after being introduced by Uncle Liu, he nodded and said, "Hello old minister, I really bothered you to come so late." ”
"Oh, it's wheat, come, sit down," said another fat old man with a little hair combed and dyed black and shiny, and beckoned him to sit down with a smile, and put a small teacup in front of Lao Mai with a tong, and wanted to pour him a cup of tea.
It seems that this night, it is the old minister who is showing his skills in making kung fu tea.
"Ouch, let the leader pour tea, I really don't dare to be it, I'm so rude," Lao Mai, who had just sat down, hurriedly stood up, wanting to reach out and grab the exquisite ceramic teapot held by the old minister.
The old minister smiled and pushed his hand away, filled him with a teacup, and then put down the teapot himself.
Lao Mai was so embarrassed that he stroked the bulging medium-sized envelope that had just been placed on the tea table, and didn't know what to say for a while, but could only chant repeatedly: "Oh, thank you leader, thank you leader." ”
The old minister was originally the deputy department-level municipal group minister, and now he is nearly sixty years old, and has retired from the second line to the CPPCC as a deputy executive representative, and by the way, he has solved the treatment of the main hall.
Over the past few days, the old minister has come into contact with many private bosses who have joined the CPPCC as members, and his unrestrained and serious faces, which have changed to be kind and approachable, and everyone has a smiling expression.
He saw that Lao Mai was too nervous and embarrassed, so he smiled and motioned to bring his resume over and look at it.
Lao Mai hurriedly took out the small envelope from the bulging medium-sized envelope, took out the printed resume, and respectfully handed it to the old minister with both hands.
The old minister didn't look at the medium-sized envelope either, only took the resume and browsed it from the beginning, and then nodded: "You have experienced two deputy section positions, both of which have been more than three years, and it doesn't matter if you are a non-party cadre, this condition is suitable." ”
Lao Mai's palms were a little sweaty, and he subconsciously looked at Aunt Liu on the side, and when he saw him shaking his head slightly, he said respectfully: "I really thank the old minister for valuing ...... promotion."
The old minister waved his hand, put his resume into his briefcase, and said casually: "Promoting talents is our long-standing policy of organizing work, as the saying goes: I am for everyone, everyone is for me, go forward and follow, beat the drum and pass the flowers, our career can progress." ”
Lao Mai said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, thanks to the old minister, I understand." ”
He is also an old fritter who has been in the government for more than ten years, and naturally understands the meaning of the old minister's words, although people leave, they cannot lose their connections, but also to strengthen them, not only to stabilize the old people, but also to absorb new people, consolidate their own circle, and make it pass on from generation to generation.
The old minister thought about it and continued: "Now that the city has been adjusted, the next step is to re-elect at the county and district level, you are a person outside the party, it doesn't make much sense to go to the county, so go to the city, arrange for you to go to the central city to be a deputy outside the party, I still have the ability." ”
At this moment, Lao Mai couldn't say anything other than thank you repeatedly.
......
Before I knew it, it was half past ten o'clock in the evening, and the three of them chatted for a while, and then prepared to check out and leave.
Lao Mai finally dared to pick up the bulging medium-sized envelope and put it in front of the old minister, before he could speak, the old minister waved his hand and said: "Your uncle and I are old classmates, this is not necessary, put it away." ”
Lao Mai helplessly looked at Aunt Ah Liu, who secretly stretched out his hand to stop him, and after settling the bill with the waiter, he sent the old minister out together.
After sending the old minister to the car and leaving first, Aunt Liu said to Lao Mai: "Give me the money, and give it to him when I have time, the old comrade will accept this directly, and he can't wipe his face, even if he insists on not wanting it in the end, I will go and give him some good tea." ”
Aunt Liu, the CEO of an industrial state-owned enterprise, has never seen any small money, Lao Mai naturally believes that he will not be greedy for his stack of 100 yuan bills, and hurriedly handed him the medium-sized envelope.
Aunt Liu took it and didn't look at it, stuffed the envelope into the leather bag, and said a few words to Lao Mai haha, and then said goodbye and left.
Lao Mai took a long breath, wiped the dense sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and didn't know whether it was cold sweat or hot sweat, and was very helpless to drive his scooter home to sleep.
Of course, he may not be able to fall asleep this night, it is all a pie in the sky, no wonder he is so excited, in the municipal administrative organs, from the section level to the department level, it is a big hurdle, whose turn is it, who can not be overjoyed, sleepless at night.
