Chapter 42 new job

The Pacific War expands and progresses in no time.Hong Kong and Singapore also fell instantly.The good news came to Taiwan, which delighted the Huangmin faction or the model youths. They all dreamed of developing to Nanyang as soon as possible.However, he was not allowed to go to Nanyang freely except for being called into the army, so his dream could not be realized. With the rapid changes in the international situation, Taiming's idea of ​​returning to the mainland became more determined, but he was still unable to do anything. His ardent ambition was only thwarted by the failure to apply for a passport.Then he had to lie dormant for the time being.He is just sitting on the sidelines, but observing his mental state may not be completely negative. He seems to be a mongoose (mongoose), which seems to be hiding but constantly spying on the opponent's void.

One day, Taiming was meditating in the yard, when he suddenly saw that figs had grown. They were hidden in the shade of big leaves, and it was hard to find them if you didn't pay attention. There were several abundant fruits.He picked one and peeled it apart with his hands. The pulp was full of ripe, bright red seeds distributed in the shape of flowers. He watched it, feeling an indescribable emotion in his heart.Every living thing has two ways of survival. It blooms beautifully like a hibiscus flower, and withers if it does not bear fruit, or it is like a fig, which is inconspicuous and bears fruit quietly in an unknown place. For the present Taiming, Has a meaningful revelation.He couldn't help being moved by the way figs lived.

While he was playing with figs, he walked to the fence. Forsythia forsythia was neatly squeezed into the bamboo fence, and the young leaves sprouted to form a green wall.Taiming looked at the root of the fence. A big branch passed through the gap between the roots of the fence, stretching his hands and feet freely. He showed a surprised look, and looked at the branch again. Horizontal growth will inevitably be pruned, but only this branch can avoid being pruned, allowing its vitality to develop, which deeply moved Taiming. 'Even Lissythia chinensis in Taiwan knows that it struggles to survive without giving up its own personality! 'The mystery of nature opened his eyes. Looking back on himself, he felt ashamed that he was not even as good as Taiwan's forsythia.

'By the way, we must live strong, like Taiwan Lian Chong...' He made up his mind, which means that he will get out of the negative attitude in the past, and live as positively as possible under the environmental conditions.He has stepped into reality.He then took up a position at the Rice Grain Association, an outgroup of the Grain Bureau. This association is a brokerage organization created by the control of rice grains.On the surface, it is an auxiliary agency that undertakes the work of the Grain Bureau, but in fact it is for profit.Taiming worked as an accountant.In terms of accounting, there are one or two staff members to share their affairs under various budget items. Taiming's work belongs to general accounting, mainly dealing with salaries and other funds, and an average of half an hour a day is enough.

Taiming's boss is the chief accountant. The chief is above the chief, and above that is the supervisor. The supervisor is also the chief of the branch.The director of the sub-division is concurrently served by the director of the Grain Bureau.This is because he has to use the power of the Grain Bureau, which supervises the rice grain farmers, to greatly control the rice grain farmers.Therefore, the sub-director is just an important facade sign here, and does not deal with anything other than blindly stamping.As for the price of blind stamping, the association will receive travel expenses, allowances or bonuses.

Because of this extra income, most of the officials of the Grain Bureau hold similar jobs, and the Rice Grain Association seems to exist for this purpose.Taiming entered in anticipation of work, but was very disappointed when he realized the ingenious methods of this bureaucracy. The section chief and the director don't have any business to deal with. When a visitor comes, it takes hours to talk meaningless gossip. Since the upper-level people are like this, those secretaries or employees who are waiting for the ruling of the superior will naturally have nothing to do. There is something to do.Because they are bored, they pass the time painstakingly by opening and closing useless papers or portfolios in order to pass the time and make it appear that they are doing something.

Taiming didn't know this until he came to work here. This set of essentials seems to be the principle that office workers should realize by themselves.However, no matter what, he just couldn't have this kind of mood. One day, he felt that it was a waste of time, he might as well spend it on reading. What he read was a literary book that had nothing to do with work.As soon as I read it, I was naturally enthusiastic and forgot the passage of time, and suddenly found him?The secretary at the desk touched his waist with his hand, he looked back in surprise, the supervisor stared at him sternly, but then walked away, Taiming thought that the colleagues around him were just wasting their time, so he continued to read.

After a while, a worker came to call him: "Mr. Hu, the supervisor invites you to go." There was a meaningful expression on the worker's face. Taiming thought it was some business, so he went to see the supervisor immediately. When the supervisor saw Taiming, he suddenly said, "Hey!Are you still reading books about the enemy country? ’ Taiming thought to himself, because of such a small matter, he explained: ‘No, that book is Faust. ''Whether it is Faust or Christ, crab-like writing is hostile. ''However, Goethe, the author of Faust, was as German as Hitler.Is Germany an ally of Japan, and also an enemy? ''what?Germany? ’ The supervisor immediately showed a look of embarrassment because he had exposed his ignorance, but immediately changed his words and said: ‘How can anyone read during working hours, they are confused! ''Yes, I see. ' Taiming returned to his seat in embarrassment.

It is a pity to work under such a boss, and some colleagues, who have nothing to do, fiddle with documents and pretend to have work, but they are blindly looking forward to the end of get off work. The atmosphere of this kind of organization is really corrupt.And under this supervisor, there are many Taiwanese who are well-educated, well-educated, and of high moral character, but Taiwanese are Taiwanese after all and cannot be officials.Only when Taiming actually worked in this kind of unit did he deeply understand the sadness of the Taiwanese position. The next day, when Taiming went to work, his Taiwanese colleagues comforted him and said, 'Hey!It was fixed yesterday. ’ Everyone was very disgusted with the supervisor, although they didn’t say it out loud, so everyone sympathized with Taiming. One of the young employees surnamed Fan said to Taiming: “Mr. Hu, be especially careful with the servants. 'The servant is the nickname of the head of accounting.Taiming didn't have anything to criticize, so he felt that he didn't need to be wary of anyone, but everyone cared about his kindness, and Taiming thanked him.

During the break at noon that day, Taiming was walking near the office. The young man surnamed Fan who reminded him to pay attention, caught up with Taiming from behind with a smile, and suddenly greeted him in fluent Beijing dialect. Taiming immediately felt that he was from The young people who came back from the mainland. So there is a kind of intimacy like meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land. Fan talked about various things. He is a graduate of Xiamen High School, lived in the mainland for five or six years, and returned to Taiwan because of the Sino-Japanese War. His family is rich and there is no need to have a job, but it is not good to be idle in front of the "National General Mobilization". Therefore, he came to work in the Migu Association. He is a happy and lovable young man, so the Taiwanese colleagues in the association are very happy. love him.Fan told Taiming about all kinds of insider affairs in the association, so that Taiming knew that there were also various factions, followers, and informers in order to please the superiors, etc. This kind of complicated air swirled.

Moreover, among the Taiwanese here, there is also the Huangmin faction, and the clerk in the bureau whose Japanese name is Nakajima is a typical person. He has been converted to the imperial family twenty years ago, and has been living a life of wearing kimonos and drinking miso soup. After graduating from a private middle school, he was admitted to the general civil service immediately. Why, after 20 years of work without promotion, he is still an employee, but his salary is increased, which hinders his promotion, because his salary is already equal to that of the section chief. If he is to be promoted, he must be given at least the position of a director .Then it will stand on the heads of the Japanese.Therefore, after 20 years, he still hasn't got any chance to be promoted, but this sad Huangmin faction, very poor, doesn't know the reason, and thinks that the reason why he can't be promoted is that the emperor's civilization is not enough. So spend more energy on this.This situation is also the same for other Huangmin sects, that is, they are arrogant to the Taiwanese, but on the contrary, they are servile to the Japanese.And they even imitated the Japanese in their thinking, and they even showed off their half-knowledge, naive and unbearable criticisms of China. Once he said: "Chinese people are delusional exaggerated, nonsense celebrities, what white hair is three thousand feet, It is a hopeless nation to say such absurd words and still be complacent. He said so in front of everyone, Fan and some people who usually had a bad impression of Nakajima wanted to punish his arrogance and incite Taiming.Although Taiming felt that doing this was not very popular, he still retorted gently: "Mr. Nakajima, Fan Sang and I have lived in China. China is a very vast country, and it is really difficult to figure it out, let alone people like me. ordinary people.However, Mr. Nakajima's sentence "white hair three thousand feet" is often used to explain the Chinese people's hyperbole, but Mr. Nakajima, do you know the next sentence? ’ However, Nakajima didn’t know the next sentence, so Taiming said: ‘For most five-character quatrains, you have to combine two sentences to understand its meaning, and some of them can’t even be understood by combining four sentences. The same is true for the sentence "white hair three thousand feet". If you don't know the next sentence, you don't understand its true meaning.It is exaggerated because it is taken out of context.Li Bai wrote that white hair of three thousand feet is longer than sorrow. Li Bai's poems are definitely not exaggerated. You may feel exaggerated because you don't understand Li Bai's sorrow.This poem is the work of Li Bai after he was exiled to Yelang. His original heart was patriotic, but he was sentenced to exile.A poet with a solid style like Du Fu sometimes writes poems that feel exaggerated. For example, Du Fu once said that "a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold." I understand his state of mind, but even in modern times, if you go to the hinterland of the mainland or places around New Guinea, you will probably understand Du Fu's state of mind.Li Bai would smile wryly in the underground if the Japanese interpreted "three thousand feet of white hair" arbitrarily. Nakajima couldn't say a word about Taiming's half-joking explanation, and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time re-evaluated Taiming's profound knowledge.
