Lao Mai took the elevator back to his office without knowing anything and continued to meditate, except for some routine work on the first day of the new year, he generally did not have anything serious, and since his own work was fine, he meditated and practiced in the office all day long.

From the night he started working after the festival to the eve of the Lantern Festival, he followed the middle-level leaders of various departments to drink New Year's wine every night.

This is also a kind of domestic folk custom, although the eighth day of the new year to go to work, but less than the fifteenth year, this class is not very decent, in the morning to chat about the occasion, to the afternoon everyone almost ran out, go home to prepare the New Year's wine, and then invite relatives and friends, acquaintances and colleagues to come to the house to eat and drink, in order to show the beginning of the new year.

It's also simple to drink New Year's wine from colleagues and friends, buy a bundle of firecrackers along the road, light it on the ground, crackle, and then go in and mix in the large group of diners, and you can leave when you are full.

On the afternoon of the Lantern Festival, Lao Mai went back to the old house in the town and had a New Year's wine and dinner with his sister and family.

After the official start of work after the holiday, Lao Mai has been living in the villa villa, and only Ah Guang stays behind in the village on weekdays, serving as a steward, security guard and driver, and there are also some foreign disciples doing service work, and some reliable domestic helpers, servants, florists, etc.

Mu Qingzi Lao Dao except for important things that have to be dealt with in person, he has been unable to meditate in the mountains of the Five Elephant Taoist Temple, so this villa villa has become Lao Mai's residence alone.

Lao Mai drove the small Wuling van with the unit in and out, and no one knew that he had moved and lived in a villa area in the wilderness.

In his spare time, he was accompanied by Ah Guang, and walked around the foothills around the villa, selecting a few dense forest ravines that seemed to be rich in earth and spirit, for evening cultivation, and at the same time sighed: "Cultivating the truth, cultivating immortals, it is really impossible to cultivate without barren mountains and mountains, and immortals are still composed of a person and a mountain character." ”

It seems that after Lao Mai has reached the third level of cultivation by himself, it is particularly difficult to cultivate to the Great Perfection, and after a few months have passed, he still can't touch the edge.

After thinking about it repeatedly, he finally knew that if he didn't fill his dantian with liquefied true yuan, it was estimated that he would not be able to reach the Great Perfection realm.

Lao Mai sighed and had to use diligence to make up for his clumsiness, and he practiced diligently every day, accumulating the liquefied true yuan in the dantian bit by bit.

After all, he has been a civil servant for half his life, although he has long stopped relying on this salary to support himself, as a job that has been done for more than ten or twenty years, it is still not so easy to give up.

The head of the department in charge knew that although Lao Mai drank a lot of alcohol, he didn't like to socialize, so he would be considerate of the leader and no longer call him to go, and he himself was happy.

After working at the same time while practicing, more than a month later, Lao Mai was in the elevator once and met the slender girl again, this time in close contact.

Lao Mai came in from the first floor, and when the elevator door on the fourth floor opened, I saw the girl walking in with a stack of files, followed by a tall and thin young man with hunched waist and figure-eight legs.

The young man, who looked many years older than her, had a long, white donkey face and a flattering smile on his lips, and spoke to her in a flattering tone.

Lao Mai saw the girl walk into the elevator, so he recognized her, and looked closely, although she had a small face, a small mouth, a small nose, and her eyes were narrowed, but there was no sense of disobedience, and she looked very picturesque and delicate.

The slender girl stepped into the elevator and leaned into the corner and bowed her head silently, allowing the lanky donkey-faced man to murmur about the meaningless student voice.

Lao Mai remembered that when he met her in the past, his age and inexplicable frightened demeanor of her middle school student made him a little curious, and he couldn't help asking: "Little girl, you are so young, you don't study, and you applied for a job here?"

The girl looked up at him as if startled, and hurriedly lowered her head again, hugged the stack of files, and shrunk back into the corner of the elevator.

Lao Mai poked his head over and asked again with a smile: "Which department did you work in?"

"Archives Bureau, Archives," the girl's thin voice like a mosquito came out.

Before she could finish speaking, she saw a figure flash, and the slender donkey-faced man intervened between them, as if to cut off Lao Mai's sight and protect the girl, and continued to say those flattering words in disregard.

What an experienced vision of middle-aged Lao Mai, I was happy when I saw it: "Yo, this chick just came, there was a male dog to be the flower messenger, wow, if you pick yourself and Lao Lan when the young girl, which male dog dares to insert it to interrupt, buddy must first flatten him, and then stuff it into the trash can." ”

At this time, Lao Mai just laughed it off, and knew from the experience accumulated over the years that a captive party like this that he couldn't catch up with and stopped people would never be able to get into a girl.

The elevator quickly stopped on the 9th floor, the elevator door opened automatically, and he walked out.

I saw that the elevator door behind me was not closed, and a weak but very angry sentence flew out: "Xiao Luo, why are you blocking me, what does it matter to you that the leader asks me!"

After the elevator continued to go up, the slender donkey-faced man Xiao Luo was flattering to explain something, and Lao Mai Xiuwei couldn't hear it no matter how tall he was.

After he returned to his office, he meditated on his knees for a while, and suddenly the sick and pale face of the slender girl floated in front of him, thinking that this little girl's body was so weak that it looked like the wind would fall, since he frightened her, he had time to help her check her body, and if she could recuperate, she would be recuperated, otherwise she would feel ashamed.

Lao Mai has been cultivating so far, and he is no longer the first brother at that time, and he already knows a lot about the cultivation matters that he should know, and he understands that the cultivation method has gone to the depths, and he is the most pure in the heart of Taoism.

The so-called do whatever you want, do whatever you want, repay kindness, revenge, anger, and girl...... In short, the Tao is natural and dusty.

In a word, you can't have a heart knot, and if you have a heart knot, you have to solve it, and you can't evolve into a heart demon, otherwise it is easy to affect the cultivation effect and cause your own realm to stagnate.

He frowned and thought about it, picked up a small thick confidential telephone book of the local city organs on his desk, flipped through it to the Archives Bureau, and called the director of the Archives Bureau (Library) and asked them how many new people had been recruited there.

The Archives Bureau is under the jurisdiction of the District Party Committee, and the Archives is under the jurisdiction of the government.

Although Lao Mai is not in charge of the archives, after all, he is also a city-level leader, and when the old bureau (museum) director heard Mai District's words, although he didn't know what he was asking for, decades of work habits made him answer questions without thinking.

"Our museum has recruited 2 new temporary staff members this year, and 1 retired and rehired staff of the agency," the director of the old bureau (museum) pressed the earpiece to his ear, and then asked respectfully: "Do you still want to know more about the wheat area?"

Lao Mai felt that he had a bit of a fake taste of public and private affairs, and paused before saying, "Let's talk about name, gender, age, place of origin, education or something." ”

The director of the old bureau (hall) stretched out his hand to pick up a file on the desktop, took out a form, and read it briefly: "Yu Mu, female, 23 years old, from this city, graduated from a college in computer information technology; Luo XX, male, 27 years old, college ......"

Lao Mai only heard the name of the slender girl, it was originally called Yu Mu, and then he heard that he was 23 years old, he was a little surprised, and he couldn't help sighing and thinking: "When I first saw her in the breakfast shop, I thought she was only fifteen or sixteen years old. ”

In the case of several other people, he automatically skipped that he didn't listen to it much, and after listening to it, he thanked the old bureau (hall) director, put down the earpiece, and pondered.

Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to ask the old bureau (hall) director to send Yu Mu up for a while, but after thinking about it, this is too much, you are a middle-aged strong man, or a leading cadre, what do you want to do when you call a little girl to the office in private.

Lao Mai has been in the administrative organ for a long time, so he naturally understands that this kind of administrative organ unit seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact, the water is as deep no matter where it is, and the slightest carelessness will cause adverse consequences and even affect the future future.

He had heard Lao Lan say a strange thing that he had experienced in the city itself:

After graduating from Lansingbo University, when he was assigned to the Organization Department of the Central District Party Committee for the second time, he only wore short-sleeved T-shirts, suit shorts, and leather sandals that were popular at that time.

A few years later, he applied to join the party, and when the branch of the department was discussed, he also gave people to talk about things, and when he first joined the work, he wore shorts and showed his leg hair, and his style was too frivolous, and as a result, he was postponed for a few years.

So far, Lao Lan has been wearing trousers and leather shoes in the summer, wrapped tightly, and wearing a T-shirt must have a collar and sleeves, and even the swimming pool with the people of the unit will never go.

Lao Mai thought about this, so he immediately dispelled this idea, and said it when he thought about it, they were all in the same building, and if they looked up and didn't look down, they would always have the opportunity to meet Yu Mu and mention the matter of conditioning the body.

As a result, I didn't expect it to backfire, and for a long time in the future, Lao Mai either didn't meet the slender girl Yu Mu, or he didn't have the opportunity to contact her.

Yu Mu's side will always follow the slender donkey-faced man Xiao Luo, who is sent to rain or shine every day, and always sees the two of them riding a Wuyang 125 men's motorcycle and a Dayang 100 women's motorcycle.

Not to mention working hours, the slender donkey-faced man Xiao Luo hunched his waist and sideways face, always with that flattering smile on his face, accompanied by Yu Mu inseparably, and even stared at her from a distance when she spoke on a private phone.

Even at noon, when the crowd was crowded, Xiao Luo followed upside down, intercepting someone from contacting Yu Mu at any time, including preventing someone from saying hello or saying hello.
