Chapter 36 the power of a broom

Feng Jiachang is ill. For so many years, Feng Jiachang has never asked for a day off, and he has never dared to get sick once (a peasant boy, it is the time of "progress", and he can't afford to get sick), but occasionally he has a headache and brain fever, and he just gritted his teeth. I got through it.However, at such a critical moment, he felt that he should be "ill". This illness is not completely fake, he is indeed exhausted physically and mentally!In recent days, he has been unable to sleep almost every night, and often stares until dawn.Yeah, the loophole is finally plugged, what could go wrong?He analyzed and analyzed, and for that position... he was so anxious!

He knew that Lao Hou was still active, and Lao Hou never stopped his activities! This time, Lao Hou used all his housekeeping skills.Almost every night, he ran to the homes of chiefs No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3, constantly displaying his special skill of "slapping ears".What's more important is that suddenly one day, a babysitter came to Chief No. 4's house. The babysitter was a girl from Sichuan. Mrs. is very satisfied.Needless to say, this must have been recommended by Lao Hou.There is also news that it is actually a cousin of Lao Hou's hometown in Sichuan!It is said that just the night before yesterday, Deputy Political Commissar Zhao, who had retired to the second line, went to the house of Chief No. 5, and the old man went there with a cane.In earlier years, Chief No. 5 was an old subordinate of Deputy Political Commissar Zhao.It is conceivable that the old superior condescended to see his former subordinates, it must be lobbying.Then, there was a rumor that the political commissar said that after so many years, the monkey should move... Things have come to this point, can Feng Jiachang not be in a hurry? !

It's not that Feng Jiachang didn't take action, it's just that his way of action is different from Laohou's.He divided things into three steps.First of all, he wrote a letter to the old chief who was far away in the capital, reporting his work in detail.He originally planned to write three such letters, that is to say, to ask for directions first, then to exchange "hearts", and then to talk about his own problems, hoping that he could make a phone call at the most critical moment.It's too early to make this call, and it's too late... But just when he was about to write the third letter, the old chief suddenly fell ill and was admitted to the hospital.In this case, personal matters can no longer be mentioned.Feng Jiachang knew in his heart that an important weight was lost just like that.He couldn't help complaining secretly in his heart, "Old chief, it's really not the right time for you to be sick!"But what can be done?

The second step he took was to take the initiative to go up to help the mobilization department.The pony in the mobilization department, the horse officer, is very clever, but his pen is a bit weak. He said that he is not afraid of anything, but he is afraid of writing materials.In the past, whenever writing "materials", Xiao Ma always asked him to read them and give comments.But this time, at the end of the year, when the mobilization department was about to write a summary, he joined in and took the initiative to help Xiao Ma.Moreover, he spared no effort to help him make phone calls with the armed forces departments in various counties, and count the statistics... Xiao Ma was very grateful for this, and even specially invited him to dinner.However, Xiao Ma didn't know that he had other intentions in doing so.Taking advantage of the opportunity to help Xiao Ma, he learned more about the work of the Mobilization Office over the years.Afterwards, he stayed up for several nights, worked hard, and finally wrote an article entitled "New Ideas for Mobilization Work".He printed four copies of this article.One copy of "Internal Communication" was sent directly to the military system, and the other three copies were sent to the first, second, and third chiefs through Xiao Guo of the Confidential Department... In order not to leak any news, he first gave it to the typist in the name of Li Dongdong. Xiao Huang sent a set of imported cosmetics; then, he stuffed a pack of three-five cigarettes to the confidential officer Xiao Guo; and then asked someone to deliver a famous painting to Old Dai, the editor of "Internal Communication".Lao Dai does not smoke or drink, and loves to collect calligraphy and paintings (this famous painting was obtained from Li Dongdong's father). The condition is that it must be published in recent issues as quickly as possible.On the phone, he said to Old Dai: "Director Dai, have you received that one? Oh, that's good. The authentic work, definitely the original work!... Director Dai, I need you to ask about that matter, it's urgent! Please! , please, please..." After this article was published, it could be said that the ink was still wet, so Feng Jiachang quickly sent it to an uncle of Li Dongdong in the military region by airmail, hoping that he could get it at the best time ( Neither too early nor too late), and forwarded it in the form of a briefing—he knew that all the chiefs would read the briefings that were passed down from above!

Feng Jiachang's third move was somewhat despicable.He didn't want to do this at first, and he hesitated again and again, but he really wanted this position so much!So, he put all his eggs in one basket and went to find his father-in-law with Li Dongdong behind his back.Li Dongdong's father was a dull man on the outside but extremely rich on the inside.An old intellectual like him who has been an official for decades, is more or less emotionally entangled... A few days ago, by chance, Feng Jiachang ran into another secret of his father-in-law.Based on this, he judged that his father-in-law and that person had long since ceased contacting each other.Therefore, it was precisely this point that Feng Jiachang wanted to take advantage of.

That afternoon, in Li Shenyan's office, Feng Jiachang stood there respectfully and said, "Dad, I have something to tell you." Li Shenyan sat on a leather swivel chair and glanced at him casually. , Said: "Ah? - Oh. Let's talk." At this time, Feng Jiachang paused, as if he had something to say, took a breath, and said: "There is a woman named Yan Lili, she came to me She said, she said she knew you..." Li Shenyan picked up a document and glanced at it twice, then casually drew a small circle on the word "agree", and signed his name in a fluttering manner .After a while, he picked up another newspaper and casually flipped through it a few times; then, he picked up the teacup, blew on the tea leaves floating on it, took a few sips, and suddenly said, "Come here." Feng Jiachang was stunned After a while, he hurried forward and stood beside the desk.Li Shenyan pointed to the newspaper and said, "There's a word on it, do you recognize it?" Feng Jiachang leaned over to have a look. He wanted to say that he didn't know him, and wanted to ask for advice "modestly", but the word was too simple. That is the word "miao"...Feng Jiachang couldn't say anything, so he stammered and said: "Miao?" Li Shenyan said "Oh", and said: "Do you know the meaning of this word?" Ask, Feng Jiachang was really caught by the question, what is "wonderful"?He hadn't thought about it yet.He leaned forward to look at the word, wondering in his heart, what does this old father-in-law mean at this moment?At this time, Li Shenyan hummed softly and said, "Don't you know? Let me tell you, from the sound, it means spring—it's called spring. Literally, it means girl—" —It’s beyond words—it’s true for young girls.”

Having said that, Feng Jiachang had to admire him.He thought, ginger is still old and spicy.What is a big device?This is the great weapon.What is conservation?This is conservation.What does it mean to stay calm in times of crisis, and not to be surprised by changes? This is it!Down, he didn't even know what to say.He stood there in a daze, feeling as if he had stepped on a cotton bag. At this time, Li Shenyan stood up, stroked his hair, and started to pace back and forth in the room... Then, he stopped suddenly, and just kept his hands behind his back, looking out the window as if no one else was there.From Feng Jiachang's point of view, it seemed as if a century had passed before he uttered a sentence like jumping beans: "There are seven wonderful things in life, do you know that?"

Feng Jiachang felt that he was getting smaller and smaller, his head was sweating a little, and he murmured, "I don't know." After a long time, Li Shenyan uttered another sentence: "Young, young." For a while, Feng Jiachang felt that he had really made a mistake in coming this trip.The father-in-law stood in front of him, pressing down on him like a mountain, until he couldn't breathe.He really wanted to fight back, but he couldn't find the strength... He felt like a thief who broke in and was caught on the spot! Li Shenyan didn't look at him at all.Since he entered the office, Li Shenyan never looked at him directly.Even if he glanced at him occasionally, it was out of the corner of his eye.However, at the last moment, Li Shenyan still spoke.Li Shenyan turned his back to him, and said nonchalantly, "...what do you want?"

Feng Jiachang hurriedly replied: "Say a soldier." silence.Then he asked, "Who wants to be a soldier?" Feng Jiachang said: "A relative of Yan Lili." Li Shenyan said lightly: "Isn't it just a soldier, just do it. Why do you want me?" Feng Jiachang remained silent.He wanted to say, I have difficulty.He wanted to say, I'm not in position, I can't do it...but he didn't say anything in the end. In some cases, silence is also an art.Neither of them spoke, and remained silent for a long, long time.Finally, Li Shenyan said, "If you have anything to do, just tell me."

As if it was an amnesty, Feng Jiachang hesitantly and hastily told the story... He hoped that he could give Director Zhou a call.Although they are relatives, it would be different if he made a phone call in person. At this time, Li Shenyan shook his head silently, then shook his head again, and said silently: "——Dongdong, why did she fall in love with you? Are you not the same as her?" Feng Jiachang felt as if he had been hit by a brick, but he didn't say a word.At this time, he was a little scared. He was afraid that if Li Shenyan asked Yan Lili again, he would be... finished.Although he knew they had broken up.But what if?Just thinking about it made his head sweat.But he knew that he had to hold on, and since he had said it, he could never change it again.

At this time, Li Shenyan suddenly said sternly: "Do you think I'm a dog flyer?" Feng Jiachang stood there like a fool... Then, Li Shenyan said in a slow voice: "Gossip is not enough to rely on. People still have to talk about character... You are talented, but don't do things like dog flies." In the end, Li Shenyan didn't make any wish for him.Li Shenyan just waved his hands and said, "Go." When leaving the office, Feng Jiachang felt a little depressed.He didn't know whether his "blackmail" was successful this time, and he didn't dare to say anything more.Besides, what he knew was really limited... But in terms of feeling, he felt that he would make this call. A few days later, Director Zhou called him over.Director Zhou of the Political Department called him to his office, looked at him seriously for a while, and suddenly said, "I think you look bad. Are you sick? Take a few days off." Feng Jiachang was about to say something, but Director Zhou waved his hand and stopped him.Director Zhou said, "I'll give you three days off, go back and rest." Director Zhou never talks nonsense.Director Zhou is very scheming, he must have a purpose in doing this.So, he became "sick" for three days. On the fourth day, when he went to work, his chief of the mobilization department had already been approved, and he was in charge of the regiment. Later, there were some rumors in the agency, saying that his position as director was to solve the problem with "hot urine"!It's kind of funny, and kind of ironic.However, there is indeed an accidental factor in necessity.Only later did he know that the few days when he was "ill" were the most critical moment for studying cadres.It is said that when the mobilization department was researched, the situation of him and Staff Officer Hou was brought up at the same time, and the opinions of the two sides were almost evenly matched. The "briefing" above is evidence; however, emotionally, they are more inclined to use Hou Staff... However, at this moment, the second chief who presided over the meeting (because the first chief was out) walked out of the meeting room and arrived at the meeting room. Pissed in the toilet in the hallway.Unexpectedly, the toilet was so dirty... so dirty that I couldn't even walk in it!So, the No. 2 chief was furious after returning to the meeting room, and said a lot of angry words.At this moment, Director Zhou spoke, and he said, "I know the reason." The No. 2 chief asked, "What is the reason?" Director Zhou said, "Feng Jiachang is on sick leave." Understand, and said: "This, this Feng Jiachang...what does it have to do with the toilet?" Director Zhou said: "For many years, all the toilets and corridors upstairs have been cleaned by Feng Jiachang, every day..." Someone He asked, "Who?" Director Zhou said, "Xiao Feng, Staff Officer Feng." Suddenly, the situation took a turn for the worse, and there was silence in the meeting room.This "over the years" left a very deep impression on the leaders!That's right, it's not a day or two, but a few years, all the corridors and toilets are cleaned by Feng Jiachang!In the past, the chiefs didn't know this, but they knew that the corridors and toilets were always clean... Now, Feng Jiachang suddenly became "ill", and the sanitary problems of the toilets suddenly became apparent.So, the No. 2 chief who presided over the meeting made a decision on the spot, and it was a final decision! This kind of thing is really surprising, it can almost be said that it is four or two thousand catties!To elaborate, there is a lot of wisdom hidden here!In this matter, Feng Jiachang knew that Director Zhou contributed a lot!However, after hearing such a result, Feng Jiachang felt very sour. He was so sour to the end, he could smell the farts of so many people all at once!Yes, he has been cleaning the sanitation for so many years, but he was discovered because of this "disease" and "urination". He really wanted to cry! However, in this matter, Lao Hou was the saddest.Lao Hou really broke his heart!In a fit of anger, Lao Hou destroyed his ear-piercing tool, and immediately wrote a report requesting a change of job... Before leaving, Lao Hou invited Feng Jiachang to a small restaurant, and said with tears in his eyes, "Brother, I want to change my job." Let's go, congratulations!" At this point, the outcome has been decided.For a moment, Feng Jiachang felt sore in his heart.He picked up the wine glass and said with all his heart, "Brother, thank you for your care for so many years. I am the one who is sorry for you, and my brother will apologize to you!" Lao Hou said: "Brother, you can't say that. Everyone has selfishness. Who doesn't want to... Hey, Ge Laozi, stop talking and drink." At this time, Feng Jiachang was crying, and he cried and said: "Brother, please forgive me. I have five brothers, and the mission of a family is on my shoulders..." Lao Hou patted him and said, "Understood, I understand. Ge Laozi, I am also the son of a farmer...Brother, at the beginning, for this position, I also hurt you..." Feng Jiachang stopped him and said, "Stop talking, drink, drink." Going down, the two of them would drink one cup at a time... After Lian drank a few cups, Lao Hou suddenly said: "Brother, life is like a game of chess, people are not as good as the sky. Let me give you a real answer. You Don't think that your promotion is because of 'a piss'. If you really think so, you are very wrong." Hearing what Lao Hou said, Feng Jiachang was stunned. Lao Hou said: "Actually, things are not as simple as you imagined. This meeting is mainly because of a series of changes brought about by the job change of the No. 1 Chief. Retired. He originally planned to retreat to a place near the sea, so he went to find a chief at the same level, but the chief did not agree to him at the time. So, in a fit of anger, he directly called a respected old chief The phone call. It was this phone call that brought about a series of changes in the whole thing. Did you know that the No. 2 chief didn't go to pee, he left the meeting room suddenly, but answered the phone. After answering that phone call, things suddenly changed Dear...brother, if it wasn't for that phone call, the seat you're sitting in would definitely belong to me. The wind blows from the end of Qingping!" The ins and outs of this matter are indeed unimaginable.Feng Jiachang was confused.However, he was already unwilling to say anything more to Lao Hou. No matter how he said it, regardless of the sky or the earth, he finally got this position.As for the process, it is indeed beyond his control. But in all fairness, he knew that the army would not bury talents.As long as you are really talented, as long as you work hard and hold it back, you will be reused sooner or later.Besides, based on his many years of experience, the army is indeed a big melting pot, and the army is for training people...Of course, he would not say these words to Lao Hou, and even if he did, he might not be able to listen to them. Going forward, the top priority, what he wants to plan is the matter of the second and third children... So he mumbled, "Drink. Drink."
