Chapter 2 Chapter two

When Du Guanghui got home, it was already very late.A few old classmates gathered together, and he drank two more glasses.After drinking, he was dragged to sing again.Among the classmates, one became a big boss, spending a lot of money, and every month he would find the classmates in the provincial capital to gather together.Anyway, someone sells the bill, and Du Guanghui is also happy to participate.When he was with his classmates, he seemed to be back in college.Moreover, in private, he still has a small thought. At this party, he can see Mo Yalan, whom he had a crush on in college. Mo Yalan was the most beautiful girl in the Chinese Department at that time, even standing among the girls in the Art Department, she was also one of the top.Du Guanghui came from the countryside. When he first came to the university, he was a little surprised when he saw such a beautiful female classmate.Of course, he also knew that he and Mo Yalan could not be the ones who could get together, so he has been secretly in love.When he was about to graduate, Mo Yalan suddenly asked him to watch a movie.He was a little ignorant at the time, and refused in ignorance.Now that he graduated later, he was assigned to the Propaganda Department of the provincial party committee in a daze, and Mo Yalan was also in the provincial party committee.The two never met again.It wasn't until five years ago that the big boss classmate who made a fortune brought everyone together again that they saw each other as middle-aged people.Mo Yalan once joked after drinking: At that time, I sincerely invited you to watch a movie, but...

Du Guanghui could only smile, even now, when he saw Mo Yalan, he could still hear his heart beating like a small drum.Secret love is sometimes more unforgettable than explicit love. Mo Yalan also sang several songs tonight, among them was the song "Red River Valley" that they often sang in college.Du Guanghui also sang along, and his eyes became moist as he sang.Luckily the lights were dim and people's attention was on the song.At the end of the show, Mo Yalan wanted to see Du Guanghui off, but Du Guanghui said no, so he happened to be walking alone after drinking.Mo Yalan said: I am getting old, but I still have the same stubborn temper as before.

When the door was opened, the wife was already asleep.The light was still on in the room of his son Du Fanfan.The college entrance examination will be held next year, and the children are very nervous about studying.Du Guanghui stood at the door of his son's room, looked at it quietly for a while, sighed in his heart, sat on the sofa in the living room, made a cup of tea, and drank slowly. Du Guanghui and Jian Youran were formally appointed as two cadres who were assigned temporary positions under the Ministry after research by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and relevant leaders.There is no decision now, but where they will go to hold their posts.While drinking at night, he had already released this information.Several of his classmates advised him to find someone quickly.It doesn't matter where you go to get a second job. The place you go to is bad, life is hard, and you can't arrange it when you come back in the future.Some people suggested that Du Guanghui find the leaders of the Ministry, or find other people, and strive to go to Hudong County, or Pingshan City, which has a good economic foundation and is valued by the provincial leaders.Du Guanghui said: "Anyway, it's a temporary job, and it's only two years. Doesn't it matter where you go?"

"It's not the same!" said the big boss classmate: "Why is it the same? Although I have been in business for the past few years, I know a little about official affairs. In a county with a good economic foundation, people can live well. In the future, we will arrange It's also easy. In the next two years, doing work is one aspect, and more is to use the resources of the county below to prepare for the future arrangement. Guanghui, you should think about the long-term." Everyone said yes, and Du Guanghui nodded. However, if Du Guanghui is asked to go to Minister Ouyang or other deputy ministers to ask for specific places, this will make Du Guanghui difficult.After taking a sip of tea, Du Guanghui went into his son's room and said, "Fanfan, it's time to rest."

"There are two more pages, and I will rest after reading it." The son replied. Du Guanghui sighed again, and was about to get up when his wife Huang Li shouted, "Why did you come back so late? Have you gone drinking again? Really..." Du Guanghui didn't make a sound, and Huang Li didn't make a sound either.Every time Du Guanghui came home from drinking, Huang Li always said something like this to him.It upset him.Du Guanghui's wife, Huang Li, works in a provincial import and export company, and she is not very pretty.Back then, after Du Guanghui was assigned to the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, he suffered for several years and never fell in love.When I was almost 30 years old, I was introduced by others and met Huang Li.In less than half a year, the two got married.Huang Li's temperament is irritable and hot-tempered, which is completely different from Du Guanghui's cold temper.At home, Huang Li is in charge of everything big and small, and Du Guanghui is also happy to be at ease.Although Huang Li is not very good-looking, she has high requirements for clothing. Perhaps this has something to do with her profession.What Du Guanghui dislikes the most is that she keeps buying clothes all day long.Some clothes were worn only once or twice, and then thrown away again.This made Du Guanghui feel distressed, but Huang Li said: Buddhas need gold clothes, people need clothes, you don't understand, this is life.

this is life!Thinking of this, Du Guanghui smiled.When a person reaches middle age, what life is there to speak of?Especially married life.Everything revolves around the son, the stabilizer of the family is the son, and the core of the family is also the son.Du Guanghui didn't intend to apply for this assignment.He signed up for the last session with great enthusiasm, but failed.It also provoked Huang Li to scold him.Huang Li said: I'm in my forties, and I'm still bouncing around, and I'm not afraid of being laughed at? Du Guanghui thought about it too, it would be great if the registration was successful.The point is that it didn't work out.After the dispatched cadre meeting was held this time, he didn't even think about it at all.Although Jane encouraged him again, he didn't think much about it.It is said that his son is going to take the college entrance examination, but in fact he has lost interest.In the end, it was Mo Yalan who made him sign up.

Mo Yalan took the initiative to call Du Guanghui and asked if Du Guanghui had signed up.Did Du Guanghui say no?Mo Yalan advised him to sign up. If he doesn't go on with his character, he may only be the full-time vice chairman of the trade union for the rest of his life.Go down for two years, come back and solve a deputy hall no matter what, why not do it? "What's more, you're going down, we can hang out in the place where you are in the future." Mo Yalan's last sentence, which seemed to be a joke, really moved Du Guanghui.He signed up, but he didn't even tell Huang Li. Until now, Huang Li didn't know about it.He wanted to tell her after everything was settled.Otherwise, Huang Li's mouth wouldn't mess with him.Last time, Huang Li supported him.This time, Huang Li had no reason to support him.

Waking up in the morning, Du Guanghui went to the street to sell breakfast as usual, and then came back to watch his son eat it.Huang Li didn't get up until after her son went to school.Du Guanghui said you eat slowly, I will leave first.Huang Li didn't make a sound.Du Guanghui looked at his complexion that had just woken up, and turned his head, and went out with his bag between his arms. Downstairs in the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, Du Guanghui met Director Zhang, who was in the personnel year.Director Zhang called him and said, "Old Du, you have opened the way for others this time."

"How do you say that?" "Ha. Don't you know? It turns out that it's not just the four of you who asked to go down to the post this time. There are also several directors who have ideas. At the beginning, I heard that Jian Youran was the only one, and everyone wanted to sign up. This good thing can't last forever Let Jane occupy it again, right? But, after seeing that you have also applied, everyone has nothing to say. First, you applied for the last session, and second, you are older. More importantly, everyone I feel that the two quotas, Jian Youran, are basically settled, if I report again, wouldn't it just squeeze you, Chairman Du, out again? It's complicated, it's complicated!"

"I really don't know about such a situation. Isn't it just a temporary job? If you know it earlier, I just don't apply for it." "That can't be said like that, Old Du, you have to report. You are the most suitable." "Really." Du Guanghui looked at Director Zhang and was about to speak when Jane came over again.Jian Youran sent Vice Minister Wang Huacheng on a business trip.Minister Wang was getting into the car while talking with the young Director Gao. Du Guanghui and Director Zhang stood for a while, and then went upstairs after the car left.

Du Guanghui thought to himself, it's Xiao Gao again.That's what he called the young Director Gao.When the girl first came to the ministry, she still handled the formalities in his hands. After entering the office and making tea, Du Guanghui began to think about the day's work.In fact, the trade union didn't have any specific work to consider. He just thought about it briefly and sorted it out.Then, he started to read the newspaper, the morning paper he just arrived, the newspaper he likes to read.Looking at it, his thoughts wandered.He remembered what his classmates said last night.It's not just about going to work, the key is where to go.Yes, where are we going?If the road is too far, it is inconvenient to take care of the family; if it is too close, it is not good.The economy is so bad, there is always pressure.He opened the drawer, took out the phone book, and looked through the names of counties and county-level cities one by one.He will not go to the county where his hometown is located.Too troublesome.Huang Li's home is in another province.To say that he is satisfied, it is a county like Hudong, which is not far or near, and has a good economy. In the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, Du Guanghui also had classmates.But this classmate rarely interacts with everyone.Although they are in the same office building, they usually meet and nod.For so many years, it seems that there is no relationship.This classmate is the director of the first cadre department, and I heard that he has a lot of power in his hands.He has never attended the class reunion.Du Guanghui thought: Should I look for this classmate?Anyway, he's still a classmate. However, Du Guanghui still hesitated in his heart.It took a long time before I found the number of the Cadre Section of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, called it, and said to call Director Wang Peng.The person who answered the phone said I was.Du Guanghui said: "I am Du Guanghui." "Ah...Du...Chairman Du. Hello!" Wang Peng seemed a little surprised. Du Guanghui said with a smile: "Yes, old classmate. I want to find you something, and I will sign up for a temporary job." "That's good." Du Guanghui heard Wang Peng's voice drinking tea, and made a thud, as if he was in a hurry. "I would like to ask you to talk, can you go to... a better place?" Du Guanghui said, but his face was a little feverish, and he took a sip from the cup. "That's it, okay, I'll definitely say it." Wang Peng readily agreed. Putting down the phone, Du Guanghui thought it would be better to be a classmate, don't beat around the bush when talking, and come simply. After finishing this matter, Du Guanghui got up and prepared to go out.He called Section Chief Wang from the trade union.Every year, the Ministry organizes a New Year's table tennis competition.If only the employees of the Ministry participated, it would be easy to handle.However, Minister Ouyang has always emphasized the need to engage in social activities and follow the mass line.Therefore, in the past few years, they always found a certain large enterprise and held a competition together.It has a lot of momentum, and it doesn't need money from the ministry, so it looks good on both sides.Minister Ouyang is in favor of this approach, and this year's activities will have to follow this path.Minister Ding has clearly handed over the matter to Du Guanghui.It's the end of November, so we have to go and make a final decision. Du Guanghui has already set his sights on Lianyi's enterprise, and this time he has chosen Jiangshan Automobile Manufacturing Company.This is a large enterprise with more than 3,000 workers, and it was supposed to hold activities at the end of the year.The Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee made friends with them, and it was too late for them to be happy.Yesterday, Du Guanghui called Chairman Lu of the company's labor union directly, and Chairman Lu agreed without hesitation.However, the details still need to be discussed.For example, who will cooperate with Minister Ouyang, how will the final ranking be determined, and so on.No matter which unit you cooperate with, the ministry must always be one of the top three, especially the ministers. They must not only give full play to their skills, but also let them feel the real atmosphere of the game.After all, Du Guanghui has been in the agency for more than 20 years. He still understands these minimum rules. When we arrived at Jiangshan Motor Company, Chairman Lu was already waiting.The boss of the company also took the time to come over and say hello.Although Du Guanghui is only a full-time vice chairman of the trade union, he is the full-time vice chairman of the trade union of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, so naturally he cannot be regarded as ordinary.After discussing all the details of the competition and the arrangement of social activities, Chairman Lu accompanied Du Guanghui and Section Chief Wang to the company for a comprehensive tour.Really big business!It looked prosperous. At noon, Chairman Lu repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but Du Guanghui was disrespectful. He ate at the company's restaurant and drank a few glasses of wine.Li, the vice president of the company who came to accompany him, after a while, turned out to be a fellow.Therefore, he was extra intimate, and Du Guanghui drank three more glasses of wine for this.When he drank alcohol, his face immediately turned red like a stick of sorghum.While drinking, Section Chief Wang said that Chairman Du was about to leave his post.Vice President Li immediately served a drink to congratulate him. After talking about the resignation, it was actually a sign of promotion.Which temporary cadre didn't mention it when he came back?Du Guanghui said that I was only on temporary assignment, and it didn't matter whether I mentioned it or not.What's more, I don't have that ability.Vice President Li smiled and said: Chairman Du, no, the future Minister Du is modest.However, modesty is a good style of leading cadres! Everyone laughed, but Du Guanghui felt a little awkward while drinking.If it was said that the last time he asked to go down for a second job was for the purpose of promotion in the future, then this time, he really didn't have such an idea.At the age of forty-four, he suddenly had a feeling: he should take advantage of the two years when he was sent to work and do something well.It's not that he can't do things in the ministry, but that he can't do what he wants to do.Even, he felt like a screw on a big machine, when he tightened it, he lost himself.When he first arrived at the ministry, he was also full of energy.However, time smoothed him out.He became a clam shrinking more and more tightly.Therefore, going down to take a second job will more or less allow him to breathe.Maybe he can't do big things, but at least he can do some things he wants to do. Du Guanghui is not a person with lofty aspirations, his character is doomed to his path. In the afternoon, when Du Guanghui went to work, his face was still red.He didn't go home at noon, so he rested for a while at the guest house of the automobile company.Chairman Lu sent him to the ministry in a car, and when he went upstairs, he turned his face sideways consciously.He doesn't like the way others see him blushing.As soon as she entered the office, Jane came over. "Hey, did you have two drinks?" "Yeah yeah." "This is the form for assigning temporary cadres. The organization department sent it over in the morning, and I took it for you." Du Guanghui took the watch and thanked Jian Youran.Jane said again: "Where are you going to think about it? No way..." Du Guanghui raised his head, "Where does he go? It's not the same." "This... well, you can fill out the form, it will be handed in tomorrow." Jian Youran said and went out. Jian Youran did not go back to her office, but went to Minister Ouyang's office.Minister Ouyang was receiving guests, he poured a glass of water for everyone, and then withdrew.In the past few days, Jian Youran's mood is also very complicated.Although the Ministry ordered him and Du Guanghui to go down, he still had no idea where to go next.Just now, he tentatively asked Du Guanghui.Du Guanghui didn't seem to care about this.Who knows if he really doesn't care, or is he avoiding it on purpose?Du Guanghui is an honest man, but honest people also have honest tricks.The Propaganda Department has two branches. When it comes to going to specific places, it is certainly impossible to go to places with better economics.Moreover, I heard that Minister Ouyang asked for an extra amount from the organization department this time, which made some people in the organization department very unhappy.When they distribute, it is inevitable that they will not be embarrassed.If you just go down without finding a good place, then two years may be wasted.If so, it is better not to go down. Jane returned to her office again, Zhao Ni went out, and there was only her small bag on the table.It was a very beautiful small leather bag, which Jian Youran brought to France for her.It can be seen that Zhao Ni likes it very much.He recalled the scene of having dinner with Zhao Ni last night.It was in Zhao Ni's single dormitory.They also drank a little red wine.Zhao Ni said that red wine is both emotional and nourishing.Especially for men, drinking some red wine will make them more romantic and passionate. Jian Youran liked what Zhao Ni said. When Zhao Ni first came to the ministry, she was not in the office, but in the personnel department.How the relationship between them got better, Jian Youran still couldn't explain it.As if it was a matter of course, the two of them came together.Zhao Ni's statement is very simple, two people love each other, they are together.In the future, if you don't love each other, you will say goodbye to each other.This is another reason why Jian Youran likes her.He was afraid of that kind of stalking woman.Especially some women will force you to divorce or something just after a few days, which is too dangerous.Zhao Ni's thoughts made Jian Youran feel at ease.And in fact, they have been together like this all the time. Except for being alone once a week, no one can see their deep relationship at ordinary times. Zhao Ni did not express her position on the issue of the assignment.Of course, this does not require her to express her opinion.Zhao Ni said: You men, you pay too much attention to being an official.What's so good about being an officer?Work hard.What's more, there are still many people who have been officials for a lifetime and ended up in jail.How boring! Jian Youran just smiled, it's not a bad thing for a woman to oppose being an official.On this point, Xiao Miao's mentality is more radical than Zhao Ni's.Xiao Miao said: If you don't work hard to become an official, what else do you do? Opening the drawer, Jane saw that the letter was still there.This is written by an old calligrapher in Beijing.Last year, Jian Youran went to Beijing on a business trip and met the youngest son of the old calligrapher.As a result, I got such a word.After he came back, he also showed it to several calligraphers from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.When they saw the signature, they sighed: Everyone is so handy!Now, a certain old character with such a size is worth 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in the market.Jian Youran was also surprised, and kept it like a baby.Now, it seems that he will use this treasure.He had already planned to give this treasure to Minister Ouyang.It is both elegant and expressive.It's just a pity that Minister Ouyang's name is not inscribed on this word, otherwise it would be icing on the cake. "Director Jian, Minister Cheng is calling you." Director Qi from the next door came over and called. Jian Youran quickly locked the drawer and went to Minister Cheng's office.The biggest feature of being an office director in a government agency is that there are always things to do. Either this leader has something to do, or that leader has something to do. Anyway, the office has to handle it.For general offices, Jian Youran's attitude is clear.The office is above the general office. As for the reason, no one can say.Probably because the office is too close to the leader, and I know the leader too well.therefore…… Minister Cheng is asking about the arrangements for the "Three Going to the Countryside" activities next week. This matter was originally handled by the Mission and Education Office, but Jian Youran's office has to be responsible for life issues and logistics.However, this matter has already been settled.After Jian Youran reported to Minister Cheng, Minister Cheng nodded.In terms of doing things, Jian Youran is very capable.In the past few years, the office of the Propaganda Department has satisfied the leaders.Minister Cheng looked at Jian Youran, suddenly smiled and said, "You're going down, who's coming to the office?" "Soon, isn't it just two years? And Director Huang." Huang Nu is the deputy director of the office. "If you look at it from the perspective of office work, you really have to think about it." Minister Cheng continued to smile. Jian Youran hurriedly said: "Work here for two years, then come back and continue to serve the ministers. Besides, everything is still in the ministry after you go down. If something really happens, you can come back at any time." "Haha, I'm just talking, just talking." Minister Cheng handed over the folder. Jian Youran took the folder and smiled too. After going out, he felt a little beating in his heart for some reason, but he calmed down immediately.Vice Minister Cheng also said this because of work considerations.The ministerial meeting has been set, and the list of the organization department has been released, so what are you worried about? Walking to the door of Minister Ouyang's office, the door was ajar.Jian Youran stood outside the door for a while, but still didn't go in. In the afternoon, Jian Youran called a few classmates in the provincial capital and asked them to sit down at Jinkaiyue in the evening.Most of these students did well.Many of them are department-level cadres, and one of them, Wu Jin, is still in the main hall. He participated in the election as a candidate for vice-governor in the previous term.Jian Youran has close contacts with these classmates.On the one hand, this has something to do with his personality that likes to make friends, and on the other hand, it has something to do with his current position.Being the head of the office, although busy, is very convenient.Especially for the occasional meal and two meals of wine, you can still make your own decisions and spend it at public expense.This is actually tacit in the ministry.Not only the ministers, but also some directors who have a good relationship with Jian Youran, and Jian Youran often signs bills for their private banquets and public expenses.Friends are resources, especially classmates, who are an inestimable resource.These resources may be seen in front of the eyes, and they don't have much effect.But when it comes to critical moments, they still work.Jian Youran asked these students to sit down at night, and she wanted to use these students to help the organization department and arrange him to go to the east of the lake that he wanted. Jian Youran's goal is obvious, and it is Hudong.A person cannot always stare too much.If you speak more directly and stare more clearly, maybe the problem will be more conducive to solving it. "Du Guanghui is an idiot..." Thinking of this, Jian Youran couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Du Guanghui. In fact, Jian Youran knew that Du Guanghui had helped him to some extent by signing up for a temporary post.Because of Du Guanghui, several other department-level cadres who also met the requirements did not apply again.According to Zhao Ni, these people discussed behind their backs, saying that if they insisted on reporting again, it would be Du Guanghui who would be squeezed out, not Jian Youran.It turned out that he thought that the Propaganda Department would trouble his brains for these two places for secondment, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly and be confirmed so quickly.It can be said that the last term of cadres was filled with gunpowder, but this time, it seemed too calm. When Zhao Ni came back from outside, Jian Youran was considering whether to take her to the evening banquet.It's not that Zhao Ni has never attended Jian Youran's class reunion, but their relationship has never been made public.Every time, Zhao Ni appeared as an office worker.She is also decent, never doing things that others can understand at a glance.Jian Youran looked at Zhao Ni. Zhao Ni had just blow-dried her hair. It was straight, shiny, soft, and shiny. "What are you looking at? Look..." Zhao Ni asked. "Don't you just take a look at it, your hair is done?" "Just made it. Are you okay?" "fine." As she said that, Jian Youran took another look and said, "Is there no arrangement for the evening?" "No. What? What's the matter?" "Yes, let's go together, I invite some students to sit down." "Okay." Zhao Ni said as she buried her head in the document. When she was about to leave work, Jian Youran called his wife, Xiaomiao, and said that she had an engagement and would come home later.Xiao Miao told him to drink less wine, eat more food, and try to go home earlier.Jian Youran's ears were almost callused when he heard this, but he still listened and said yes repeatedly.Putting down the phone, he went to Jin Kaiyue first, and just as he sat down, Zhao Ni came over.There were only the two of them in the air-conditioned box, Zhao Ni looked at Jian Youran, and suddenly ran up to hug him and kiss him.Jian Youran blushed and shook her head.Just about to speak, the first classmate has arrived. Naturally, there was a fierce battle at night, and Jian Youran was famous among her classmates for her alcohol tolerance.Not only is he massive, but he can use all kinds of weapons in every way.For example, thunderbolts, submersible cannons, and three-in-one, he can do everything.When the wine is in the mood, he can sing a song.His voice is also very good, especially when he sings some military songs, he can not only sing the treble part, but also sing it with charm.Jian Youran's performance on the wine table sometimes fascinates Zhao Ni.A man's cuteness is often more fully expressed at the wine table. After drinking to 60% of the wine, Jian Ruan announced that she was going to take a second job.And filled a glass of wine, toast everyone present.Please support me more in the future. "Going down, it's better than being up there, and I have to ask all the brothers to support you a lot. I'll drink this cup, and I'll invite everyone first." Jian Youran said and went.Everyone ordered to applaud, saying that this is the case, no wonder, please sit down.This is a Hongmen Banquet!However, when it comes to support, everyone says it should.Wine naturally drank more and faster.After a while, some students with a small amount will hang the white flag first. Jian Youran took another glass of wine, toasted Director Wu Jin alone, and said: "I need to ask Director Wu for help with this glass of wine. The Organization Department will soon study the matter of temporary cadres. I want to Going east, I heard that Director Wu and Minister Ye, who is in charge of the organization department, are good friends, so I'm counting on you for this matter. I'll drink first." Jane drank again, and everyone said that Wu Jin must help with this matter, not only Help, and must help. Wu Jin drank the wine and said with a smile: "Again, this is the next task! I'll do my best." Jian Youran said: "It's fine if Director Wu said this. Let's have another drink!"
