Lao Mai was a little fortunate when he saw this, since he stepped into the third layer of the exercises, he moved to the villa villa to live permanently, and the house he bought here has been rented out to outsiders, and he no longer lives here to practice.

Even so, it seems that the phenomenon of excessive extraction of earth aura in this area in the past has not eased up after a few months.

After returning to the villa, he asked Ah Guang to take a long-handled engineering flashlight, drill into some corners of the villa with grass and mud, carefully inspect the soil, and found no signs of dry cracking, so he was relieved.

Lao Mai thought to himself, even so, he could no longer absorb the earth aura in his residence, and he had to find a hidden foothill in the wild to cultivate.

Fortunately, this is already a mountainous area, and the villa villa is backed by a large area of Wuxiang Mountain Range, so you can absorb the earth aura and cultivate wherever you want.

He had already made up his mind that when he slept that night, he would no longer absorb it, and only practiced internal circulation, because when he was cultivating in the old house, he found that the true vitality actively atomized into water droplets, which was much faster than automatic condensation.

Therefore, he decided to focus only on converting the true vitality into water droplets in places where the earth spiritual energy was insufficient, in the hope that he would be able to accumulate the dantian as soon as possible, and maybe he would reach the Great Perfection realm.

On the first day after the Spring Festival holiday, Lao Mai rushed to the small square of the compound of the urban government before half past eight, signed in to participate in the flag-raising ceremony, and then accompanied the main leaders of the city to go around the departments to pay New Year's greetings, and then returned to the office to start the work of the Lunar New Year.

As the deputy leader of the party outside the city, as long as there are no meetings, no emergencies, no work raids in the urban center, and no one in charge of the Planning and Economic Bureau, the Environmental Protection Bureau, the Justice Bureau, and the Legislative Affairs Office look for him, Lao Mai still has a lot of free arrangement of work time.

In fact, he was only in charge of the planning part of the Planning and Economic Bureau, and the Environmental Protection Bureau was in charge of all of them, and the other departments in charge, such as the Judicial Bureau, were still directly under the jurisdiction of the city at that time, while the Legislative Affairs Office was attached to the political office, and generally did not have much to do with him.

He was not in charge of the political office, and he did not need to attend the regular meeting of the political office on the first day of work every week, and confirmed that there was nothing important this morning, so he took the elevator down to the fifth floor of the Planning and Economic Bureau to take a look, and found that the bureau was still holding a regular meeting.

Waving to Lao Lan, who saw him outside and wanted to say hello, Lao Mai Jing took the elevator downstairs again, and did not drive, but walked out of the gate of the organ with his hands behind his back and walked towards the food street of a nearby commercial and residential community.

He doesn't have to eat now, and he can maintain his vitality by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth every day, but the soy milk fritters that he usually likes to eat for breakfast have not been eaten for many days.

There is a pastry breakfast shop opened by a retired employee of a unit canteen, and the breakfast buns and soy milk fritters operated are as authentic as the unit canteen in the old era, and many people who came in the 7 and 80s like to eat there, and take them home after eating.

Lao Mai was known to people at first, and then I went to eat it a few times, and I felt that in addition to the old taste, there was also a nostalgic feeling, and I always wanted to eat the soy milk fritters there when I had time, and sometimes I added a big vegetable bun with a very chewy dough.

Lao Mai's life path is absolutely different from his old classmate Lan Xinbo, Lao Lan is three years younger than him, he only graduated from high school in 1978, directly participated in the college entrance examination and entered the university, and after graduation, he went to work in the city's central district after graduation.

In 1974, he graduated from high school at the age of 16 and belonged to the non-agricultural population, and went to the nearby production team to settle down for four years.

After the two graduated from college together, Lao Lan was directly assigned to the urban organs, but Lao Mai was assigned to a medium-sized state-owned enterprise, and a year later was favored by a certain leader of the Municipal Economic Commission, and was transferred to the administrative organ, and later officially transferred to the technical transformation section of the Economic Commission.

At that time, there was a policy that all college and technical secondary school graduates who were directly assigned to work in state administrative organs must be delegated to the grassroots level for one year.

As a result, Lao Mai has been working in the administrative organ since then, but it was the first year that Lao Lan participated in the work, and was transferred to the city lecturer group to teach in the countryside for a year.

There is also Lao Mai cut in the line, and the team and the army can be counted as continuous service, so when Lao Mai's length of service was in the factory, it was continuously calculated by the kind personnel chief, and the four years of college were also added to it, so Lao Mai, who was over forty years old, had 25 years of service so far.

For this reason, Lao Lan, who has only 17 years of service in total, is very indignant, Lao Mai once ridiculed him like this, who told you that you have not been in the queue to settle in the household, and you have not seen the big and ** of the peanut village aunt, so the seniority salary is four yuan less than my brother and me (five cents a year), and the public holiday is five days less (more than 20 years of service is five days more than the following).

Those old things, usually what Lao Mai misses the most, is the year in the factory, not to mention the rest, just the breakfast snacks made in the canteen of the unit, especially the soy milk fritters, I drool when I think about it, which is also the reason why he is used to eating soy milk fritters for breakfast.

Lao Mai Shi Shiran walked into the gate of the commercial and residential community, turned into a spontaneously formed food street, and found a small round table where there were already people sitting in front of a noodle breakfast shop where many people were sitting, and then ordered a bowl of soy milk and two fritters.

After the soy milk fritters were delivered, he hadn't started eating yet, and suddenly felt the person sitting opposite peeking at him.

Only then did Lao Mai notice that it was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed plainly, with long shawl hair, a small face, a pointed nose and chin, and a very pale face.

When the girl saw Lao Mai looking up, she hurriedly lowered her head to drink her bowl of soy milk soaked in fried dough sticks, her thin shoulders seemed to be a little swaying, and she seemed to be very nervous and scared.

Old Mai Na is so eye-catching, he couldn't help but laugh at first sight.

Since the divorce, he suddenly realized that there has been no shortage of acts on the scene in the past few years, but he has no interest in this kind of little girl who has not developed much, no matter how beautiful she looks, and feels that this chick is obviously misunderstood.

The little girl probably felt that she chose to sit at a table with her, because she wanted to tease her, looking at her nervous and scared little appearance, Lao Mai shook her head, and was in no mood to eat and drink those soy milk fritters in a few bites, and after paying the money, she raised her feet and left, without looking at the girl again.

Soon after Lao Mai returned to the office, he received a call from Director Lu of the Political Office, which meant that District Mayor Liu entrusted him to hold a meeting, and he was recruited by the city leaders because he had an urgent matter and the assistant manager of the assistant manager.

The meeting time is 10 o'clock in the morning, the meeting place is on the second floor, the conference room of the Talent Exchange Center of the Urban Human Resources and Labor Bureau, the content of the meeting is that the first batch of temporary staff recruited by the organs at the beginning of the year must emphasize discipline, abide by the rules and regulations, carefully select talents, oppose the opening of the back door and so on.

Lao Mai looked at his watch and the time was almost 10 o'clock, so he went to wait for the elevator to go down to the second floor.

The second floor of the urban organ building is connected to the auxiliary building, which is relatively large, and there is also a government affairs office hall that is concentrated on the outside world.

Lao Mai came to the second floor for the first time, turned around a long time to find the conference room, pushed the door and went in to see that the oval conference table was already full of relevant participants.

The female director of the Labor Bureau hurriedly stood up, invited Lao Mai to take the main seat, and saw that the meeting was just about to start, and then announced the meeting to begin.

Lao Mai is no stranger to holding various meetings and making speeches as leaders, and while listening to the speech of the female director, he thinks that Liu District attaches great importance to the recruitment of temporary workers in the agency, which is not surprising, he is also just in place this time, and he has been doing two terms for more than 8 years.

The academic qualifications of these temporary workers are all college starting points, familiar with a period of work, participate in the civil service examination or career preparation examination, once admitted to the new force in the city, a few years later it is possible to promote the deputy department, the main department, that is the backbone of the department, not by the government leader does not pay attention, do a good job is the Liu District who came to take office alone, and can borrow a local support force in the future.

Lao Mai recalled that those young people seconded from state-owned enterprises by the Municipal Development and Planning Commission took two years to be admitted to the civil service examination, and then formally joined the work of the organs.

In recent years, China has paid great attention to the training of young cadres, as the head of the grass-roots administrative organs, there is no political sensitivity, it is not good, Liu District intends to focus on this work to show attention, but it is a pity that the city leaders are temporarily recruited to mention the face, and have to see that Lao Mai is free, so he will arrest him to top a cylinder.

That being the case, when Lao Mai finished her speech and asked the leaders of the city to give instructions, she had to first say that she was entrusted by the head of the government to attend the meeting to show that the leaders attached importance to it, and then she said a few points of her own opinions.

Lao Mai didn't talk nonsense, he finished what he should say in a few minutes, and soon the meeting ended, and then he officially entered the recruitment process at half past ten.

He saw that there was nothing to do with him, so he got up and patted his ass and left, or turned to the front along the same road to wait for the elevator.

On the way, he passed by the government affairs office hall of the Talent Exchange Center, and when he walked there, he suddenly felt two thin bright spots flashing by.

Lao Mai subconsciously looked over vigilantly, and found that on a wall in the distance, there was a very slender girl with residual light in the corners of her eyes.

Lao Mai didn't have myopia in the first place, and his eyes were even sharper after cultivating, not to mention the divine sense that had been cultivated was released, and he recognized this girl at a glance as the one who was at the same table for breakfast just now.

So he relieved himself and tried to go over to say hello to her, but he saw her retreat in horror, and shrank to the corner and disappeared.

Lao Mai was stunned when he saw this, couldn't help but smile and shook his head, turned around and continued to walk towards the elevator.

After he left, what he didn't know was that the slender girl slowly peeked out of the corner of the wall with a small head wrapped in thick black hair, her bright eyes staring straight at his back, and her small mouth muttering something.
