Lao Mai took the talisman paper and stuffed it into the storage talisman, but instead of putting it away, he handed the talisman to Mu Qingzi and asked, "Senior brother, you see that this talisman is for the seizure of Huashan Yinsuo, can you know the main materials for making talismans?"

Mu Qingzi took it, glanced at it and said: "This storage talisman is similar to mine, it is only a cubic meter of space, and the materials for making talismans are nothing more than animal skins and ethereal stones of the space system, which can no longer be found at all in this realm." Warm Colors"

Lao Mai was very disappointed when he heard this, he originally wanted to learn to make one by himself, who knew that it was not difficult to make, but it was still difficult to find materials.

After the two finished talking, Lao Mai asked Yu Mu, who was sitting on the side and had been holding the strange wood bonsai silly, out of the cabin and waited for a while, he wanted to help Mu Qingzi regulate his body and prolong his life.

Ten minutes later, after Lao Mai finished the routine meridian combing work, he asked Yu Mu to hand over the strange wood bonsai and leave to go back.

Who would have thought that when Yu Mu heard that he was going to take back the strange wood bonsai, he hugged it tightly, as if he was afraid of being robbed, and his mouth was flat and he wanted to cry.

Mu Qingzi hurriedly smiled and said: "Little girl, this bonsai, senior brother, I still have to study and study, and when I return to the sky, I will give it to you to play." ”

As soon as he heard the senior brother talk about the words "Feather Transformation and Returning to Heaven", Yu Mu was so frightened that he didn't dare to hold the bonsai anymore, and carefully handed it to Mu Qingzi, biting his lip and shrinking his hand.

Mu Qingzi took it with a smile and put it on the table casually.

Lao Mai was afraid that Yu Mu's emotions would calm down and he would regret it, so he said goodbye to Mu Qingzi, and quickly pulled her out of the cabin, cast a spell and escaped back to the villa.

Recently, he has integrated the positioning formation into the retreat method, as long as it is a well-positioned place, he can ignore the prohibition and escape in place, and initially has a little taste of fixed-point short-distance teleportation.

It wasn't until he returned to the living room of the mansion that Yu Mu's face was still a little frightened, and he muttered, "Senior brother is going to return to the sky?"

Lao Mai nodded heavily: "Well, there is not much time left, depending on his physical condition, he will be feathered at any time." ”

Yu Mu asked dumbfoundedly: "Is the feather returning to heaven the meaning of the death of a Taoist priest?"

Lao Mai said: "Yes, Taoism calls feathering and returning to heaven, or immortals and returning to ruins, Buddhism calls sitting and passing, and there are Sanskrit sounds called nirvana." “

"Oh," Yu Mu suddenly hugged Lao Mai tightly, "Brother Mai, I'm so scared." ”

Lao Mai stroked Yu Mu's slightly curly hair and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, birth, old age, sickness and death are normal human feelings." ”

Yu Mu muttered: "Senior brother is as kind as my grandfather, I haven't seen my grandfather since I was a child, and my father said that he died a long time ago." ”

Lao Mai pouted and said, "Senior brother, he is more than one hundred and seventy years old, and he can be your grandfather's grandfather's grandfather." ”

"Huh?" Yu Mu opened his mouth and looked up at Lao Mai, "Senior brother, has he lived for such an age, is he an immortal?"

Lao Mai Ren smiled: "He is not an immortal yet, just a half-immortal." ”

"Oh," Yu Mu nodded understandingly, and stopped asking.

Shortly before the New Year's Day holiday in 2002, Lao Mai got two definite news in his favor.

The first is the supplementary provision on advocating early retirement, which is one of the four major events of the above-mentioned organs and institutions, which is to extend the statute of limitations for early retirement to the end of 2004, which means that anyone who has completed 30 years of service at the end of that year can apply for early retirement.

Sure enough, the most mysterious regulation is the relevant regulations, after Lao Mai heard the news, he touched his shaved chin and thought: "It seems that I have to consider whether to submit an early retirement report." ”

Lao Mai graduated from high school in 1974 and went to the countryside to settle down, he could start to count the length of service, and then studied in college for four years, and was assigned to the factory after graduation.

Mu Qingzi's longevity is coming to an end, and it is estimated that it will not be long before Lao Mai himself will have to fully bear the burden of the Jinshi Sect Master.

In addition, in 2002, all the central and local governments will be re-elected, and the term of office of the four major groups above the county and district level will also be changed to a five-year term.

In the past, there were many precedents in other urban districts where there were non-party deputy positions that could only be served for one term, and then they were transferred to the Municipal Editorial Office, where they were so clear that they were not even yamen.

Now the time is right, the conditions are met, the situation requires, and if Lao Mai wants to retreat bravely, it is the right time.

The old minister also called the day before the New Year's Day holiday, asking him what he thought about next year's government team change, whether he would stay in the central district of the city or want to return to the city, and he could still help before he retired.

Lao Mai still thanked the respectable elder, saying that he planned to retire early and was ready to do some work in his professional hobbies, such as working in business, speculating in securities and so on.

The old minister has worked in the CPPCC for a term, and he knows that people outside the party are working in the government, so he will either rise to the top and go up two steps at the deputy county office, deputy local department, and vice provincial department, or he can only be transferred to the most unpopular departments to retire at the end of his term.

The old minister sighed when he heard this, and could only wish Lao Mai a good journey, and finally let him have time to go home to see him, an old man who was about to retire, and drink a cup of tea and chat, Lao Mai naturally agreed.

The other is the news that Lan Xinbo, an old classmate, found out that he had found the person who wrote the anonymous letter, or that Director Tan of the Finance Bureau occasionally heard it, and she had a niece who worked in the second-tier organization of the Organization Department of the District Party Committee and participated in many cadre assessment groups.

The cadre assessment team is composed of personnel from relevant departments who are temporarily transferred, and they will talk about a lot of private things in private chats with each other, so the person who secretly told Lao Mai surfaced in this way, but he was a deputy in a certain department of the urban government.

This person is also a person outside the party, thin and early, extremely keen to be an official, he thinks that joining the party is too slow to be promoted, and wants to take the non-party line, so the deputy section, deputy department, and deputy department step by step.

Originally, the previous leader had recommended him to run for the deputy position outside the party in this government, and the organizational assessment had passed, but he didn't expect Lao Mai to come in and grab the position of deputy office that belonged to him.

Short and thin people generally have very narrow hearts and eyes, blocking people's financial routes like killing their parents, this person has no grudges, but he has not had a chance for a long time.

His wife also works in a two-story public institution in the city, and she has seen Yu Mu in the agency building before, she has a girlfriend who works in the securities department, and she passed by there on a certain errand, and went up to see her friends by the way, which met Yu Mu who was going out from the big room to relieve herself.

This woman's curiosity came, she found her best friend and asked, and learned that Yu Mu was a millionaire sister who made a lot of money by trading stocks, and she was very jealous in her heart, she didn't want to be a temporary worker in the agency in the past, and now she is making a lot of money as a rich sister.

She insisted that her best friend check her account, wanting to know how much money Yu Mu had, but when she checked, Yu Mu's account was Megard's name, and she was shocked, how did she not know who Lao Mai was, and she knew that her husband was taken away by this fang, who was already in the bag.

As soon as she went home and told her thin husband, the thin man frowned, thought about it, and wrote the anonymous letter and sent it to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.

This thin man is usually conceited and writes beautifully, and often writes manuscripts everywhere by handwriting, and there are many of his manuscripts in the Propaganda Department of the city, the Bureau of Culture and Sports, and the United Front Work Department.

The anonymous letter was transferred back to the handwriting of the city discipline inspection committee, and he was soon dug up, and as soon as it was passed on left and right, it was known to Director Tan's niece, and naturally Director Tan soon knew, and she kept thinking about the benefits of Mai District earning back the 15 million for herself, no, she quietly told Lao Lan.

When Lao Mai learned the news, this person had already been transferred out of the city, and it was said that he had found some connections and was transferred to the Municipal Price Inspection Institute, preparing to be appointed as the deputy director of the department.

As soon as I dialed the mobile phone of Fat Dahai, there was a nasal buzzing "Hello who" response, which was Pang Zhenghai, a former drinking friend and a defeated player in the cup.

Chatting with Fat Dahai for a few words, I didn't think that this guy would go back to the Municipal Price Bureau to be a division-level executive member after a few years, and then asked who would take over his vacancy, Fat Dahai replied that it was the former Elder Guang of the Infrastructure Section of the National Development and Reform Commission, and the deputy department was promoted to become the director of the price inspection institute and the inspection sub-bureau.

Naturally, the leaders of the sub-bureaus are all organs, otherwise who would be willing to go to public institutions to be appointed officials in the organs.

Then dial Lao Guang's mobile phone, and there was a "hello" response, still drunk, as if this product had not been sober for 10,000 years, Lao Mai secretly scolded him for letting him go to the countryside in the county more, and used the farmer's home-brewed rice wine to wash his stomach, Fat Dahai had such an experience, and was forced to drink red wine to nourish his stomach, and he didn't dare to touch the liquor again.

"I'll lose it, Lao Mai!" Lao Guang listened for a long time, and then he realized that it was Lao Mai's call.

Lao Mai talked to him for a few words before asking about his impression of the new deputy.

Ah Guang said with a big tongue: "You said he, he was transferred from your city, you ask the impression wow, it's not your friend, it's not good, anyway, I don't have a good impression, I am thin and dry, my hair is about to fall out, I am not happy when I see people, and I don't drink a drip, it's boring." ”

Lao Mai briefly talked about his holiday with this person, and asked Lao Guang to beat him well.

Lao Guang was shocked when he heard this, and seemed to have woken up a lot, and muttered: "No wonder he always looks at him with a thief's eyebrows, it turns out that this kind of goods, Nima has to be on guard, Lao Mai, don't worry, I will beat him well, and when I am free, we will have a few drinks together." “

"No problem, no problem," Lao Mai agreed, drank a few cups, and then chatted a few more words, and hung up the phone with Lao Guang.

He was still in the office at the time, and after making another phone call to ask the organization department, and after confirming that the new regulations on the extension of early retirement after 30 years of service to the end of 04 were correct, he turned on the office computer on his desktop and wrote an application for early retirement.

Lao Mai was ready to come back to work after New Year's Day, and immediately submitted the application to the organization department, saying that the corresponding superior department advocated the call for early retirement, and gave the position to the younger and more promising juniors.

On the night before the weekend and New Year's Day holiday, Lao Lan organized a self-service welcome reception in a newly opened high-end hotel in the jurisdiction, and invited all kinds of friends from the city, urban areas and the business community to participate together.
