"Officials" and others 刘震云 3077Words 2018-03-20
The bureau chief, Lao Yuan, is fifty-eight years old.He was a big, fat man with a long face and a serious face.Lao Yuan was not so fat when he was young, and he only gained weight after he was fifty.Because of his long face, when he was young, until he went to college, his classmates still called him "old donkey", which made him very annoyed.Later, when he started to work, the officials became bigger and bigger, and no one around him called him "old donkey" and "bureau chief". Until now, he is still worried about what happened when he was in school.Among the classmates, apart from a classmate surnamed Fan, who was once a vice-governor of a small province and was later beaten as one of the "three kinds of people", Lao Yuan was the best.What's more, this is an official in Beijing.It is easy to get into the sub-provincial level in other places, but it may not be possible in Beijing, maybe even the director of the bureau.Therefore, Lao Yuan is still satisfied with his status and has no greater ambitions.Until now, some classmates in Beijing often come to ask him to do things.Seeing his classmates in the past, now standing in front of him servilely, he is quite happy, now you don't call me "old donkey"?So while holding the thermos, he deliberately told them something about college.In order to be happy now, he never blames his former classmates. Regardless of whether he called him an "old donkey" or not, he will try his best to let them do everything he can do; he will go to any class reunion by car, and the meeting will be over. He also used his "Blue Crow" car to send people around.So among his classmates, he has a good reputation, saying that he does not forget his roots, "If you are rich, don't forget each other", like a cadre of the Communist Party.Lao Yuan also laughed it off.Lao Yuan now lives in a country room with double gas, two toilets, and a bathroom. Hot water can be supplied in the tub from six o'clock in the evening until twelve o'clock.Lao Yuan has only one daughter, and the unit where the daughter is married does not have a house, so she brings her son-in-law and children to live there.Since everyone is in his light, everyone respects him very much.Lao Yuan has no hobbies in daily life. He doesn't like watching movies, novels, or dancing. His only hobby is to drink a little white wine with dinner; but he doesn't drink much, just about two taels.Lao Yuan only recognizes one brand for drinking: "Wuliangye", which he thinks is better than "Moutai".Probably more than one bottle a week, and my son-in-law sometimes accompany him, but it can't exceed two bottles.Sometimes there is a meeting of directors and directors in the ministry. The directors sit together, everyone is equal, and they talk more casually. Before and after the meeting, when the minister is away, everyone jokes together and talks about personal hobbies. Some say they like playing cards, and some say they love Some golf players, some say they love to dance, and some admit that they want to flirt with others but are afraid that people will know that they are evil-hearted but not courageous.When he arrived at Lao Yuan, Lao Yuan stretched out six fingers.What do you ask six, six girls?Old Yuan smiled: "Six bottles of 'Wuliangye' a month!"

Everyone laughed.Someone immediately calculated that the six bottles of "Wuliangye" cost more than 400 yuan. Lao Yuan is not a clean and corrupt official.But everyone laughed again.We are always together, who doesn't know who?The bureau chief is already appointed, so what is it to drink a few bottles of "Wuliangye"?Better than six girls, right?What is honesty?This is the cleanest.After drinking alcohol and doing work, this is a good cadre.Doesn't the president of the United States take a helicopter to Camp David for vacation?Did he pay for the gas on the plane? Lao Yuan is fifty-eight years old this year, which is a frightening age.Since he is a bureau-level cadre, he should retire in two years.But if he retires, he will retire. Lao Yuan can think about it. When he is sixty years old, he will go through the retirement procedures immediately and don't stay for a day.He has several deputy directors under him who have already reached their age, but they can't hold on. Some even secretly went to the police station to change their age, making Lao Yuan look down on them.Lai can Lai Lai a few more days?Don't you have to return after some time?What's more, Chinese officials are easy to do?On the surface, he looks like a bureau chief, with a car and "Wuliangye" to drink. He looks good in front of his classmates, but the specific tasks he goes to work every day are quite embarrassing.The embarrassment is not that the work ability is not up to the mark, and the work cannot be done, but that the few people around are messing around, looking down on each other, not convinced by each other, deliberately not pouring urine into a pot, and spilling it all over the place, waiting to let Lao Yuan to clean up.If you don't work hard, you tear each other down, want to see each other's jokes, there is a pot of fire in the open, a knife in the dark, handshakes from above, and stumbling from below. I don't know where so much "class hatred" comes from!Does this still look like a party organ?But Lao Yuan couldn't persuade them, couldn't hold them together, not to mention that some of them also had opinions on Lao Yuan, and they often sprinkled some pepper noodles behind their backs. It seemed that Lao Yuan was not as good as them. Just give it to them.There are seven deputy directors below, Zhang, Wang, Li, Zhao, Liu, Feng, and Fang. Among them, Fang, Liu, and Feng have a good relationship with Lao Yuan, while Zhang and Wang are deadly enemies with him; I hope that Lao Yuan will leave early so that he can take over, and sometimes his intentions are very obvious.Among the seven deputy chiefs, Zhang and Wang belonged to the same party, Fang, Liu, and Feng belonged to the same party, Zhao and Li each belonged to the independent faction (Li was keen on qigong), plus Lao Yuan, there were five factions in total, roiling in the nest; Fang, Liu, and Feng have internal conflicts among the party, and they often fight small things; it's like a pot of porridge.In such a situation, Lao Yuan still has a headache and can't get over it, so why is he still in love?So sometimes I look forward to the arrival of sixty years earlier, to retire earlier, and to leave the place of right and wrong.But when he heard that the new minister had arrived, he really wanted everyone to leave, even Lao Yuan, and Lao Yuan's heart hurt like a knife, and he felt extremely wronged.It is a fact that the work unit has not done a good job in the past few years, but this is purely caused by a few deputy subordinates. He has not joined the sectarian struggle, and is still struggling to maintain the overall situation, waiting for the day to reorganize the situation; Indiscriminate indiscrimination between right and wrong, this is a bit indiscriminate.Even Woduan is nothing, even if fifty-eight refuses to let him do it, it's nothing. It's just that he has dealt with people in this way, and after a lifetime of revolution, he ended up like this in the end, which makes people feel angry.As soon as he heard the news, he no longer thought about going to the office building.During the "Cultural Revolution" when he lived in the cowshed, he met a good friend in the Hebei cowshed. This good friend is now the director of the core bureau of a core department. Lao Yuan immediately went to him by car to discuss countermeasures.After all, he stayed in the core department for a long time. Seeing Lao Yuan's panicked look, he felt a little funny, and made him happy, saying: "You still don't care, and you always say you don't care, but you still care. Don't let it be done! If you can't think about it, I'm enough to be the bureau chief, and I'll leave it to you. A bureau chief is as big as a palm, and you see it bigger than a millstone!"

Old Yuan glared at him: "When someone asks you for something, you make him happy. It's true that Lord Hades doesn't know how to be angry with a brat!" The old friend stopped laughing and said: "You are too panicked, you are not yet old, what are you afraid of! I don't believe that ××× will be so reckless as soon as he arrives at the office, and completely end the next game. As soon as he arrives at the office If you offend someone, how will he carry out his work in the future? You have to hold your breath!" Old Yuan said: "Who is impatient? Don't underestimate the situation. According to the people in the ministry, the list has been drawn up. If you are careless, you may be put in the wrong place. You can't see it. save!"

The old friend was a little impatient: "Okay, I'll let you go back and stay, and you just go back and stay there! I still have something to do, and I'm preparing materials for ×××, so don't disturb me!" Lao Yuan came back by car and just stayed there.Sure enough, the old friend hit the nail on the head. The new minister was not as naive as people said. He soon talked to Lao Yuan and made it clear that Lao Yuan was not involved in this change and let him continue to work. , and do it well; the team needs to be adjusted, but how to adjust the team and how to form a new team also requires Lao Yuan to come up with preliminary opinions.During the conversation, the minister came out from behind his desk twice, came to Lao Yuan, and once patted him on the shoulder.With this pat on the shoulder, Lao Yuan was completely relieved.It seems that the minister is still capable. How can he be a minister if he is not capable?Ministers can even be seen by central leaders, how can they get in front of others if they are not qualified?Since this change did not involve Lao Yuan, and Lao Yuan was asked to consider a new team, Lao Yuan immediately changed his position, that is, he no longer opposed the change, but welcomed the minister's change. All the deputy directors have been changed, those who should be retired, and those who should be transferred, and Lao Yuan will reorganize the team, play drums and gongs again, and focus on work.A blank sheet of paper with no burden to draw the latest and most beautiful pictures.Starting from scratch, maybe we can really turn this round into a good one.Thinking of this, Lao Yuan suddenly felt that he was young and had the ambition of his youth.Judging from the minister's attitude towards him, he trusts him very much. After the change and reorganization of the team, he will not disappoint the minister's expectations, so let the minister see what he does.Of course, there are no other attempts or ambitions here, and there is no intention to use work to get promoted.Of course, there is still a lack of a deputy minister in the ministry. If I have done a good job and the minister really wants to mention me, there is nothing wrong with it. I can work until I am sixty-five.Of course, this is the next step. The current thing is that as long as the change does not involve himself, he will be open-minded and cheerful.Only then did I arrive at work on time, and only then did I find maggots all over the place, so I called the Director of General Affairs, gave him a hard reprimand, pointed at the Director's nose and cursed:

"Think I'm really going to leave, crawling maggots in front of my conference room door? Let me tell you the truth, I still don't want to leave this time, and I have to lead you! Get someone to clean up as soon as I get back! Give the whole building a clean I'll scan it, and you clean the glass for me yourself!" The director was so frightened that he was sweating all over, so he stood up and made a self-criticism. He said that he had a bad cold for the past few days and was lying in the hospital on an IV drip. He didn't expect the building to be in such a state. Sure enough, by the time we had lunch at noon, the maggots had disappeared.The sanitation of the building was going on up and down, and the director of general affairs climbed onto the sunshade in front of the building and was bending over with his fat body to clean the windows.

Only then did Lao Yuan let out a sigh of relief.
