There is an old saying in our country: "Writing is a treasure of appearance".Depending on how well you write, people will determine what kind of person you are.In new China, "speech" is a "treasure to come forward".People will judge who you are after listening to your speech. The meeting called by Fu Jin was not carefully arranged, and there were no groups, so it had to be held in the conference room.Many people gathered together, and the young and middle-aged cadres who knew each other or the cadres with high political level stopped speaking and listened to a few experts who made high-level remarks.Fan Fan, who was in charge of political work, refused to host the meeting, but sat in a corner and listened.

Fu Jin sat in the middle of the long table south as the chairman.He has a broad nose and a tall nose, and his ears are protruding outwards. Although his eyes are small and his chin is retracted, he always feels that his ears and nose are too prominent, and his height is too high, so he often wears some backs and acts as the chairman. Also likes to sit.Yao Mi sat across from him to take notes.She came to the agency early, remembered quickly, and wrote well. As usual, keeping records was her business. After some silence, Fu Jin called Yu Nan's name.Yu Nan was obviously well prepared.He started talking about how he was inspired by listening to the chief's speech, and talked about how he will use his skills in the future, work together with his comrades, and make contributions as much as possible. He fell in love with socialism, just as he was convinced that he would never pretend to be Wanying.It's a pity that the foreign accent is so heavy that many people can't understand it.Zhu Qianli, who lived in France for many years, went on to talk.He said he agreed with Mr. Yu Nan's words, and then he talked about his decades of poor life, and then talked about his various grievances. , which is exempt from itself.Zhunzhi Mr. Zhu suddenly coughed twice and said: "It's too far, let's go here." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Xu Yancheng was afraid that Fu Jin would name him, so he just lowered his head.He felt that this kind of speech was like a primary school student answering a question.The answer is correct, like Yu Nan, he also felt embarrassed.Of course, it's even more ridiculous if the answer is not right.It's not that he didn't listen carefully to the chief's words; he also thought about it carefully and felt a lot of emotion.But where to start?It is not an occasion to talk at this meeting.Du Lilin still sat across from Xu Yancheng in this meeting, and seeing that he lowered his head and refused to open the day, he continued to talk about a few "superficial experiences". , and short.Everyone looked at this full-fledged "bourgeois woman" with admiration.Seeing Fu Jin staring at him, Xu Yancheng nodded to him frequently, knowing that he couldn't escape.But this set of correct words had Du Lilin say it again, how could he repeat it again?

He usually reads books in the library, and often plays chess and ball with his young colleagues. Everyone thinks that he is approachable and familiar with him;Unexpectedly, he hummed like a mosquito, and buzzed a series of words to himself.With good intentions and curiosity, everyone yelled in unison: "I can't hear you!" He raised his head anxiously towards them, stammering out a few strange words.He said: "People, people, and human beings have only killed, killed, and killed each other since the beginning of history, history, and history. How can they work together, work together, work together, and work together! Everyone thinks that their own principles are unique. Truth, truth, truth..." He couldn't continue, so he wiped his palm on his face like a face towel.Everyone laughed.

Du Lilin smiled and raised her hand, asking the chairman to let her intervene.She said on behalf of Yancheng: "The key is to have correct thinking, use Marxism-Leninism as a guideline, and unify thinking and action." Not showing weakness, Yu Nan interjected that their important task was to step up their study of Marxism-Leninism. For the convenience of smoking, Shi Nina took Jiang Taotao to the side of the long table.At this time, she couldn't bear it anymore, closed her eyes that seemed angry but not angry, and said in a low and hoarse voice, earnestly: "First move the ass over."

Yu Nan was sitting next to her.He stared at this part of her, sitting bulging in his suit pants.He didn't dare to repeat the term she used in public, so he was speechless.Zhuang Lina smiled and said: "We traveled thousands of miles back to the motherland, and we were all devoted to it." She forgot that she was bourgeois in her head, and she exuded a bourgeois atmosphere all over her body.Her words caused a blank speech in the venue, followed by many discussions.Fu Jin immediately grasped the venue and asked Mr. Xu to continue talking. Xu Yancheng woke up like a dream, startled, and his stuttering stopped.He just said stupidly: "Forget—oh, no, it's over." Then he said: "I agree with everyone." Everyone laughed again.

Yao Mi thought about it seriously, and wrote many lines at a rapid pace.Xu Yancheng didn't know what was recorded, he just looked at her in a daze. After this episode, the venue became lively, and many people expounded a sentence or two around the argument just now.Ding Baogui was sitting in the corner. He had made up his mind not to speak at first, but now he also joined the "chorus". Fu Jin summed up the meeting.He asked the researchers to draw up their own work plans in the spirit of the head of the speech, and write a summary of their work in the previous period. Zhuang Lilin squeezed out of the conference room with the crowd who had left the meeting, and stood at the door waiting for Xu Yancheng, who hadn't come out yet and was looking through Yao Mi's records; after reading, he smiled amusedly.Return the notebook to Yao Mi.Yao Mi stood behind the door, Lilin couldn't see her face, only saw Yan Cheng smiling and Yao Mi nodding, and then followed the flow of people towards the door.

The two of them went back to the dormitory together.Lilin pretended not to care, and asked casually, "Is everything you said recorded in the record?" "I remember it all." Lilin looked at him coldly and said, "You seem very satisfied." Yancheng said earnestly: "It's hard for her, I remember it very well." He thought about Yao Mi's record, and he was really satisfied, but he didn't notice Lilin's face and her silence. Lilin looked around to see if there was no one else, then sighed and said: "You should look at the occasion when you are joking. Comrade Fan Fan is sitting and listening. You just pretended to be a clown just to make people laugh. When did you learn to speak?" Are you stuttering?"

Yancheng felt wronged and said: "If I were funny, I would stop stuttering. When I was young, my mother beat me, and I stuttered. Later, I also stuttered to the teacher. My uncle took a lot of thought, and I also put in a lot of effort to correct it. Come here. I'm not pretending. They laugh at me, and I can't help it." Lilin was also wronged and said: "I gave you a hand to help you answer a sentence, but you shamed me in public: Forget it! No more! It's over!". "It's over. I said at the beginning that it is important to work together. Next, I said that to make all the people work together, we must first understand each other, sympathize with each other, and unite as one. We must not forget the welfare of all for the sake of personal or individual self-interest; because a If you have selfish intentions, you will not be able to see right from wrong, and you will not be able to tell good from bad, which will cause human beings to harm each other in history—of course, these words are just empty words, but there is nothing wrong with living."

Lilin opened her beautiful eyes wide, and said in surprise, "Why didn't I hear this kind of talk?" "My voice is a little softer, and I'm talking a little messy—but you're not listening, you're looking at people." "I see people?" Lilin smiled without getting angry. "It's just that I judge people! I don't know who only cares about people and can't even speak." They have reached the door.Both of them shut up, lest the maid see them and think they were arguing.
