Chapter 3 third chapter

In the large room of the Second Secretary's Office of the General Office of the Ministry, Wen Pu was alone at this time.This is an office shared by multiple people. Wen Pu was here before he became Sunan's personal secretary.Now there are still Wen Pu's desk and a few cabinets here. His colleagues call his place the deputy nest, and the main nest is of course Sunan's office.Deputy Wo Wen Pu doesn't come here very often, he just stores some irrelevant things here. The salary slip in his hand has been fiddled with by Wen Pu for a long time. It looks like he is looking for some kind of pain and sweetness related to the salary slip, but it is more like waiting for the money. A lot of money is taken out of the salary slip.

Salaries have long been paid out in cash, and have been paid to the card. The monthly salary slips are sent out to let people verify whether there is any error in the various incomes.Wen Pu's salary is mediocre, his name is Chief Secretary, it's just a false title of status, it doesn't match the salary, the money he earns every month is the salary of the director level, a few thousand yuan, plus bonuses and so on The odds and ends, but only a few thousand dollars in income. In the past, when he got the salary slip, he didn't take it seriously. He glanced at the mantissa, that is, the total salary of this month, and at most looked at a few main data.

Wen Pu rubbed his eyes on the mantissa of the salary slip. During this period, his eyes were dazzled several times, and the mantissa changed, twisted, trembled, and floated several times... Wen Pu took out a pen from the pen container, pressed the middle part of the salary slip with his left hand, and drew a circle behind the total salary with the tip of the pen. One circle and two circles. Three circles and four circles. Five circles and six circles. Seven circles and eight circles. Nine...Wen Pu wanted to continue drawing circles, but unfortunately he couldn't do it because there was no room on the salary slip. In the last circle, half was drawn on the salary slip and half on the desk.

Wen Pu put down his pen, turned his sour neck, picked up the salary slip whose total amount had been revised by him, held it up to his eyes, and said, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, million, ten million... ...The feeling of a billionaire pushes an illusory sweetness from Wen Pu's heart to his face, and he is foolishly happy. Although Wen Pu doesn't have astronomical savings now, he is not short of money to spend. His wife Zhu Taotao can earn more money than him. In addition to various incomes within the system, Zhu Taotao also holds shares in a private oil company and pays dividends. A lot of intermediary fees, labor fees, thank-you fees and so on are stuffed in the pockets. The money that I get home after a year is enough for Wen Pu to do nothing all day, just stay at home and spend according to the standard of petty bourgeoisie. Ten years and eight years still have to be left over, and it is impossible for Wen Pu to rely on dead wages, to accompany the leaders in meetings, research, interviews, visits, exchanges, ribbon-cutting, visits and guidance, and so on, there are some gray incomes to some extent.

Although Zhu Taotao can earn money, she is not good at managing money. When the money comes back, she will hand it over to Wen Pu, who is the housekeeper.But Zhu Taotao is good at beating people with money. She once said to Wen Pu with concern that since the new era, officials in various industries all over the country have stumbled, mostly because of money and sex. From now on, you, Wen Pu, will make trouble with women. I, Zhu Taotao, have nothing to say, but if you make a mistake with money, I can't understand it.When there is enough money to spend moderately, money is the slave of man; when there is nowhere to spend the money, man is the slave of money.After hearing this that day, Wen Pu saw that Zhu Taotao's face was still serious, so he smiled and said, your tone is quite like that of a deputy ministerial leader.Zhu Taotao said disapprovingly, you don't need to know what you want from a woman, but you must know what a woman wants from you?Wen Pu grinned and burst out laughing.Zhu Taotao pushed him and said, be honest, get out of class is not over yet, I haven't finished talking yet.Wen Pu laughed, and said like a thinker, to be at ease with a person, you must first have the confidence to be at ease with this person, followed by perseverance.Zhu Taotao nodded and said, idiot, I have confidence.Work carefully and live in harmony, this is what you told me before...

Wen Pu tucked the salary slip into his trouser pocket, got up and stretched his waist, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be something else to do, so he instinctively glanced at the desk.He sat down again, pressed his chest against the edge of the table, stared at the half circle on the table, and wiped it vigorously with the palm of his right hand. On the way back to Sunan's office, Wen Pu ran into another vice minister's personal secretary, Lao Bi. Expenses?Old Bi winked and asked. From Lao Bi's expression, Wen Pu immediately thought of the bet last year, and said angrily, do you want to bet on Lao Bi again?

Old Bi shrugged his shoulders and said, betting on whether it will rain on the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games.After speaking, he shook the large kraft paper envelope in his hand, and left with a smile. Wen Pu snorted.Last summer, several ministerial-level leaders had a swimming competition. Lao Bi didn’t know which nerve was overexcited at the time. He insisted on betting with him, just like Hong Kong people betting on horses, betting on the success or failure of the leaders they serve. The bet is one month Salary (it happened to be paid that day).Wen Pu thought that was not the case, and backed away in a stuttering manner.Wen Pu doesn't care about a month's salary. The problem is that using the leader as a gambling tool seems a bit out of line. If it gets out in the future, it won't sound good, especially if it gets to the leader's ears. How will the leader feel?The leader will not happily praise you for betting on the leader as a horse, right?But unable to stand up to Lao Bi's stalking, Wen Pu could only bite the bullet and play games with him.The leaders said it was a competition, but it was actually a matter of playing with the mood. Whoever takes winning or losing seriously.However, Old Bi was different. He bet that his leader would win, and when his leader couldn't hold back for a while in the water, he would stare and clench his fists, anxious in secret. Later, when he saw that Sunan was about to catch up, Old Bi In a panic, he actually called out "Jia Jiajia", which attracted some puzzled looks.Wen Pu was suddenly nervous, pinched Lao Bi's thigh, and reminded Lao Bi in a low voice, what are you talking about, what are you calling Lao Bi.Lao Bi came to his senses and realized that the leader in the water was not a horse, so he didn't dare to speak out.In the end, Wen Pu was unlucky and lost a month's salary.Old Bi was happy, and the next day, with Wen Pu's salary of this month, he invited a group of secretaries to have a good meal, and even took them to have a pedicure.But Lao Bi didn't explain clearly to the secretaries why he greeted everyone to eat and drink pedicures, Lao Bi just vaguely said that he was happy today, happy, money is nothing?If you have money and don’t spend it, it’s useless to lose it.Wen Pu felt at ease when he heard that Lao Bi's mouth was still guarded in key places, otherwise he would tell the truth, and he might end up paying for the crime.

That day at the door of the house, Wen Pu, who was dizzy, drank again alone at a barbecue stand.The waiter brought the tableware which had been sterilized or not, Wen Pu said to serve another set, but the waiter said you are the only one?Wen Pu said there was one more, the waiter looked around, pouted and said nothing.I put together a plate of peanuts and edamame, ordered two skewers of pork kidneys, and two bottles of beer.Wen Pu poured wine into the empty glass opposite him first, and then filled his own glass.He squinted his eyes, staring at the wine glass opposite, and it took a long time before he spoke.He said in a dissatisfied tone, "I will punish you with a drink. Who told you not to work hard in swimming today? I lost a month's salary to Lao Bi."What?I'll drink it for you, no, this is not an official entertainment, you have to drink it by yourself today, and drank it all in one gulp...Wen Pu muttered, the waiter squinted at him from the sidelines, with a sneer of contempt on his face .Drink it, stop dawdling, drink it all in one gulp, or you will be punished with two cups - shameful!Su Nan’s blame suddenly sounded in Wen Pu’s ear. He was quick-witted, got up and took the wine glass opposite him, straightened up, and said to the empty table with a smile on his face, leaders, Minister Su has been in poor health recently...is, is serving traditional Chinese medicine.In order to thank you all for your kind banquet, I will serve Minister Su this glass of wine.Thank you again, and welcome you to come to Beijing and be a guest if you have the opportunity. After finishing talking, I drank this glass of wine in one breath.The waiter who had been peeking at him shook his head and muttered, his brain is soaked in alcohol!

After entering the office, Wen Pu calmed down, and then proofread a conference speech that Sunan University will use the day after tomorrow.Just after reading half a page, the phone vibrated, Wen Pu saw that the number was from Bai Shiguang, and answered it. When it comes to using mobile phones, Wen Pu has some rules and regulations that he has set for himself, and he has never been sloppy in implementing them.For example, whether the mobile phone should use vibration or ringtone during working hours, although there are no regulations on this question, but based on his secretary work experience and experience, he believes that as a personal secretary of a senior leader, it is better to use vibration during working hours. appropriate.The problem with the bell is that even if it is adjusted to the lowest tone, it still has to make a sound, and on a certain occasion, at a certain time and in a certain atmosphere, a little unexpected sound may affect the ongoing work of the leader. , and adverse effects on the quality of rest.

After speaking politely, Wen Pu asked Bai Shiguang if he had come to Beijing. Bai Shiguang said, Secretary Wen in Dongsheng.It's nothing, but my mother asked me to call and ask if you and Uncle Su are in Beijing. She will go to Beijing to see a doctor in a few days and wants to see Uncle Su. The image of Bai Shiguang's mother Peng Qing flashed in Wen Pu's mind, and he asked cautiously, what's wrong with the old man? Bai Shiguang said, old and sick, asthma. Wen Pu asked again, do you need our help? Bai Shiguang said that they have been contacted, and Secretary Wen will not bother you.

Wen Pu said, well then, I'll tell Minister Su later, you can call in advance when you come. Bai Shiguang's father was Sunan's early teammate. In an accident rescue, his left leg was broken by a steel pipe to save Sunan.In the past, every time Sunan went to Dongsheng, he would take time to catch up with Peng Qing, the widow of his savior.Peng Qing is also disabled, with only one arm, and now lives with his youngest son, Bai Shiguang. Sunan is a person with a complex of gratitude. When Sunan's former personal secretary left office, he had explained to Wen Pu in detail, asking him to take care of the old chief in some specific difficult matters of the Bai family in the future, and told him Wen Pu, in the past, he used both hands to deal with the worries of Peng Qing's family, finding jobs for Peng Qing's children, registering permanent residence, and transferring houses.Later, in the years when Bai Shiguang resigned to start a business, the old leader also used the phone to take care of Bai Shiguang's business, and even approved two notes. In the past few years when Wen Pu was Sunan's personal secretary, Bai Shiguang didn't cause him much trouble, and Wen Pu raised his hand to help him when he came and went, and sometimes he didn't need to disturb Sunan.Wen Pu can still describe the trajectory of Bai Shiguang's actions in recent years.Bai Shiguang, who wanted to make a name for himself, resigned and took his toothbrush to live everywhere. He lived a comfortable life and earned some money. He returned to Dongsheng in time to open a trading company. At first, the business was decent.But later Wen Pu heard that he went to Heihe as a partner to do border trade business and missed it. He was cheated out of more than 800,000 yuan, and almost threw his life there. After returning, he changed the company into a game hall. Lives very listlessly, the last time Wen Pu saw him was three months ago. One day at noon, when Sunan got out of the car, he fell and couldn't get up after falling to the ground. He was sent to the hospital for an examination. The bones were not injured, but the heel tendon was weak.That night, Bai Shiguang got the news from nowhere, and hurried from Dongsheng to Beijing, holding a huge flower basket in his arms, saying that he came to see Uncle Su on behalf of his mother.Bai Shiguang didn't have dinner, so Sunan asked Wen Pu to take Bai Shiguang out for dinner, and treat Bai Shiguang well for him.On the way, Wen Pu asked Bai Shiguang what he wanted to eat, and whether he was interested in Peking duck.When Bai Shiguang heard about the roast duck, his neck stiffened, and he quickly waved his hands and said, "It's fine to eat steamed corn bread pancakes, but don't eat anything that sticks to the side of the duck, let alone eat it, I feel like throwing up when I hear it."Wen Pu asked him why, and Bai Shiguang said that he had a phobia of ducks, and it was not a general phobia, it was deep down. Bai Shiguang told Wen Pu a story about ducks. That year, Bai Shiguang, who was just in his early twenties, and a few buddies went to his hometown of Kuzidian to poach and sell wild ducks.Someone from Kuazidian responded and built two wooden boats.In the center of Dian, they encountered groups of wild ducks, shot them out with sand guns, and the wild ducks that flew out of the water fell in pairs. God knows why there were so many wild ducks that year. For example, all the wild ducks in the whole Dian were gathered in the Dian center, and how many times the Kuazidian Wild Duck Congress was held, and the old duck king gave a summary report on the work of the past year, and then a new Kuazidian Wild Duck was democratically elected. The leadership team and the leader, that scene was too spectacular and exciting, and Bai Shiguang's memory can't be quieted down to this day. Bai Shiguang said that he was in charge of catching the wild ducks that fell into the water on the boat that day, and they were easily thrown into the cabin when they were dead. However, the injured wild ducks that were dying, kicking, scratching and struggling had to be dealt with before being thrown into the cabin. cabin.The solution is simple, that is, grasp the wild duck's neck with both hands and twist it vigorously, and the neck of the duck snaps with a snap. The problem of life and death is solved in the blink of an eye.As time went by, as the wild ducks kept falling to the surface of the water after the gunshots, and as their physical fitness declined, the speed at which Bai Shiguang handled the wild ducks was obviously not as rhythmic as it was at the beginning. His red-stained hand convulsed when he exerted too much force, his heart was still pounding, and countless injured wild ducks had already escaped from his hand.Near noon, the bloody hunt was still going on, and the crazy pleasure of hunting was still jumping in every cell of the shooter. Bai Shiguang asked for a change of job, he didn't want to twist the duck's neck anymore, he was going to fire a few shots, But it is difficult for those who shoot guns to put down the guns in their hands at this time. Bai Shiguang's request is tantamount to farting.Feeling dizzy, the sky was dark and the water was dark, Bai Shiguang's hands were so numb that he almost lost consciousness, and he had to exert all his strength to suck the dead duck out of the water.Seeing that he let go of the injured wild ducks, his companions complained loudly that his hands were sharper, don't grind like an old woman, there are money floating on the water!Bai Shiguang scolded his companion for a few words, and then his face became stronger, he encouraged himself, and continued to twist the wild duck's neck.Later, Bai Shiguang's two hands were really useless, so he had to lie on the side of the boat, catch half-dead wild ducks, and bite their heads with their teeth, one click, one click, one click... Bai Shiguang After the variegated wild duck brain and the bloody red wild duck blood mixed in his mouth, it became viscous and flowed out continuously along the two corners of his mouth. Later, a companion who shot a gun saw his cruel face. , His eyes were stared straight in fright, and he stammered, Shi Guang, you can fire a few shots, and I will twist the neck of the duck.However, at this time, Baishi's eyes were red, and he might be a little crazy. He no longer felt tired and sick, like an overloaded hunting machine, catching wild ducks, no matter whether they were dead or alive, they would always bite their heads. It was so shattered that at the end of the scene, his face was almost unreadable, it was bloody... When Wen Pu heard Bai Shiguang's bloody experience that day, his heart felt more numb than seeing ants, and the goosebumps on his back formed layer after layer. In a trance, he felt that now he was not walking on the street, but I stepped on the puddle that Bai Shiguang mentioned, the soles of my feet were soft and trembling, and I could kick a few wild ducks with their heads smashed from time to time, so that I forgot what I was doing, if it wasn't for Bai Shiguang Stopped and asked him where to eat, he didn't know when he would go.
