Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

long-standing habit The people of a country without mouths are all without mouths.It is not surprising to meet each other.Hao Min, also a sea guest, drifted here in the wind, so he covered his face with a mask, wandered around the country for forty years, and gradually forgot that he had a mouth and could speak. One day, after taking a bath, I put the mask on the side of the basin, and when I went out in the city, everyone was terrified and ran around, as if they saw something ominous.Returning quickly, he looked at himself in the mirror, and was horrified. He didn't know what the hole under his nose was, and he couldn't recall the ability of this hole to speak.After thinking about it for a long time, I put a mask on my face again, and I am happy to celebrate myself but have no words.

Miscellaneous Shi said: Accumulation gradually becomes a habit, and its nature is lost.It is difficult to restore the original nature. Zeng Li said: "This is a wonderful book! I am afraid that there are not many books in China that can be handed down to the world. Gu Zhun's book can be handed down to the world. This "Double Hundred Metaphors of Drawings" looks like a gadget. I think it can be handed down from generation to generation. There is also this "Three Records of Yongyu" by Mr. Huang Yongyu in the same style." Zeng Li said, and then he turned out another book by the bedside and handed it to Zhu Huaijing.Zhu Huaijing opened it and saw that there were also texts and paintings.He turned to an article called "Sequelae":

Wukong followed Tang Seng Xitian to learn scriptures and returned to his original unit to continue working.One day, the headache was like a crack, and he rolled on the ground, screaming and shaking to the heaven.The immortals asked, "Does the magic spell occur?" Wukong cried, "No, it's the opposite! If you don't listen to the magic spell for a long time, you will become addicted!" Zhu Huaijing flipped through these two books, and couldn't help smiling because he felt uncomfortable.Zeng Li was obviously still immersed in Gu Zhun's topic, and with gloomy eyes, he said, "Maybe there are thoughtful people at any time. China is so big, who can guarantee that at this moment, there will not be a Gu Zhun dormant in any small room?" Accurate? Perhaps the unfortunate thing is that we can only discover them like cultural relics after a philosopher has passed away. And this discovery, like archeology, is limited to the academic circle. We cannot because of a profound thought , and lead to a profound change, or make the social process more conscious and rational, so we have to mourn for the philosopher and the philosopher's thought again and again. Therefore, history will always regret. The regret of history is always It is at the expense of the retrogression of history. A step backward in history cannot be made up for by a hundred steps forward. Because history can never be made up."

Zeng Li spoke eloquently, still in the usual familiar manner to Zhu Huaijing.Everyone in this world seems to have changed, except Zeng Li.Zhu Huaijing originally wanted to talk about the case of fake planting of Huangtao in Wu County, and wanted Zeng Li to stop reporting the matter.But as soon as I sat down, I was listening to Zeng Li's speech.He wanted to talk about some light topics with Zeng Li first, and then talk about what he wanted to say, so he joked: "Old classmate, you are always like this, worrying about the country and the people! Can't you let go? " But Zhu Huaijing's words did not add warmth to Zeng Li's face, it was still dignified and serious.He sighed grandly: "Mr. Liang Shuming divided intellectuals into two types: people with knowledge and people with problems. I think I belong to people with problems. Maybe I am really stubborn. I always let many annoying social problems entangle me, let I am depressed and indignant. A few years ago, I was systematically researching some social issues, and I did so calmly. Try not to mix personal emotions. I think my research is absolutely beneficial to our society. But when I put my Some of my thoughts were put into words, but I couldn’t find the space to express them. For a long time, I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t even say the most sincere and kind words freely? Later, I heard a The old professor who survived the catastrophe said something that gave me the answer. He said that when I just advocated 'toward the truth', I suffered a catastrophe. Such a simple truth is self-evident, but we have to Crying out day and night, to explain and defend such an ordinary truth! The old professor did not directly answer my confusion, but I seemed to understand something. So I gave up my ambitious research plan, Try to do something that directly helps the society. In fact, it is to change the way of speaking. The first thing I did was to collect a large number of articles that reported various types of official corruption that appeared in newspapers and periodicals, and I compiled them in their entirety. Together, neither water nor salt, only accurate comments. I think these are not fabricated by me, but reported publicly, should there be no problem? It turns out that I am still too naive. The publisher said This book is very good and must be a bestseller. But this book was still shot down by the competent department. I was also fortunate to be a person who was paid special attention by the relevant department. So I had to leave.”

After Zeng Li finished speaking, she fell silent and didn't look at Zhu Huaijing, just lowered her head, as if there was no other person in the room.He seems to be immersed in his emotions, or thinking about problems in another world.Zhu Huaijing just wanted to bring him back to reality.He couldn't figure out why Zeng Li was so alienated from reality.Or it should not be said to be a diaphragm, but incompatible with reality.He was silent for a while, and said: "Zeng Li, I understand your helplessness and pain. I think I can imagine the state of mind of a person who does not agree with reality and cannot transcend reality. And I especially respect your sense of social responsibility. I'm serious, don't look at you that way. But, I still advise you to be more sensible, don't be too pedantic. Let's be realistic. I don't need to talk to you about big reasons. I just want to say, you I have to believe that life is always moving forward, and society is always moving forward in a state of chaos. I don’t know if I have accepted someone’s point of view inadvertently, or it’s my own genius discovery, anyway, that’s how I see it. So You have to learn to be tolerant, learn to understand, and learn to restrain. In general, learn to live realistically."

This time, Zeng Li smiled, shook his head again, and said: "Huai Jing, society will move forward, and no one can stop it. I firmly believe in this. However, when people are eager for profit Sometimes, someone has to think about righteousness. I know that I am unable to take on this important task, but I want to do my best. Even if I shout a few times, I have done my duty." Although Zhu Huaijing persuaded Zeng Li not to be too literal-minded, but in his heart he really couldn't laugh at his literal-mindedness.If someone else said these words in front of him, he might feel that this person is hypocritical.But once he believed it.In the real order, Zeng Li is humble. Perhaps anyone sitting in a solemn office building can roll his eyes at him, or even laugh at him as crazy, or even slander him with the most grandiose words, and even make a fool of him. All sorts of troubles, but he probably has more social conscience than any virtuous gentleman.Therefore he is noble again.

Neither of them spoke, but the scene didn't look awkward.Zhu Huaijing looked around Zeng Li's dwelling with indescribably complicated thoughts.Except for a bed and a table, there is only a large leather bag in another corner, which may contain all of Zeng Li's belongings.He could imagine that there were only a few sets of clothes that were out of fashion.Zeng Li has no marriage, no family, and no long-term possessions.There was only one thing on his mind that he probably shouldn't have thought about.Zhu Huaijing felt that Zeng Li might not be another Gu Zhun in the small room he mentioned, nor could he become a giant of thought, at best he could only be a modern model of Don Quixote.Even so, Zhu Huaijing respected him from the bottom of his heart.

Zhu Huaijing felt more and more cold, and kept shrinking inward, almost getting under the bed.But Zeng Li didn't seem to feel the cold very much, sitting on the head of the bed, Zhu Huaijing thought that he might never be able to live this kind of ascetic life again in his life.Maybe he and Zeng Li are people of two worlds.Thinking of this, he was not in the mood to be proud, on the contrary, he felt indescribably desolate. "Huai Jing." Zeng Li broke the silence and said, "Of course you should be your official. Only being an official is the best thing in this world. I believe that if you are an official, it won't be too bad. If you It’s the words of Huai Jing, who I used to know. It’s fortunate that a large number of outstanding people have gathered in the officialdom. The important thing is that these people don’t degenerate. Fichte has worried about this for a long time. corrupted, where is the moral goodness to be found?"

"Do you believe that I will turn bad?" Zhu Huaijing asked with a smile. Zeng smiled and did not answer, just said: "I am not in the officialdom, but I know that the influence of the officialdom on people is unimaginable. I have a classmate who used to have close contacts with me. He is now the deputy governor of a certain province." I think he is the first person in our generation to know how to consciously adapt to the officialdom. I won’t tell you who this person is. I have to consider his image. The story of his fortune is very interesting to tell. He knew very early , just relying on his own hard work, it is absolutely impossible to have much success. Kung Fu is beyond poetry. His wife is a computer expert, and he asked her to design a set of software for him to deal with various relationships, called the public relations processing system. He put The various key persons who need to be used are listed, and ABCD levels are set for them according to their identities, positions, functions, etc. For example, provincial leaders are A-level, and several provincial leaders who are connected are compiled into codes A1, A2, A3, etc., the bureau level will be compiled into codes B1, B2, B3, etc. throughout the year, what person should be visited on which day, what method should be used, etc. All input into the computer. Turn on the computer every day, just You need to input the date of the day, and then press the Enter key, the computer will immediately tell you that you want to visit A1 or B3 or XX today, and what method to use; at the same time, it will remind you if you are not free or unsuccessful today, by what time you must do it Complete this instruction. If you have urgent matters today and need to visit a certain person in advance, just enter the date of the day, and then enter the command of whom to visit in advance, the computer will make advance arrangements for you, and at the same time prompt you whether to cancel The original arrangement. If you think it is necessary to cancel, press Y, otherwise, press N. The most interesting thing is that a so-called 'relationship function' has also been designed, which roughly means that as your own 'energy score' rises and falls Determine the choice of people in the network. There are many energy points scoring items. I probably remember a few items such as job promotion, power level, and prospect prediction. When your energy points increase, the computer will remind you how many certain levels you have to give up. relationship. This is mainly to ensure the effectiveness of the relationship, and at the same time let you concentrate on dealing with useful relationships. On the contrary, if you are unlucky and your energy score drops, the computer will prompt you how many relationships you should increase. This set The software has complete functions, is very scientific, and is easy to operate, which really amazes me. When my classmate first started using this software, he was only a deputy director, and then he quickly rose to the top. I think he was still Not very sophisticated, maybe he saw that I was not in the officialdom anyway, and I was a classmate, so he leaked the secret to me when I went to his house for a drink. He demonstrated it to me on the spot, which really surprised me. I think he must regret it now You shouldn't tell me this secret."

After hearing this, Zhu Huaijing secretly admired the deputy governor.This is a trick that almost no one can imagine.But Zhu Huaijing didn't show his surprise very much, he only half-truthed and half-hypothesized: "Zeng Li, I hope this deputy governor won't be promoted again. Otherwise, if he gets a higher official in the future and has the power of life and death, You are only afraid of your life.” Zeng Li breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's not the case, is it? But the relationship between me and him is obviously alienated now. This time I don't want to do anything in the original unit. I tried to contact him, but he politely refused. I think He was right to say no to me. Contacting him was one of the stupidest things I ever did, and I find myself laughing in hindsight. You see, he's a high-ranking official there, and I'm writing stuff that gives them a headache every now and then. Article, what do you think he will do with me?"

"What should I do? Do whatever you want." Zhu Huaijing laughed.He looked at Zeng Li, whose face was now brightened, and wondered why he described the set of public relations processing software so vividly, as if he admired it.It is said that Zeng Li would hate this kind of behavior very much. Zeng Li smiled, and said, "Just now you asked me if I believed you would turn bad, and I didn't answer you directly. In fact, I didn't know how to answer, so I told the story of my classmate. I can say, I This classmate is not bad. I don’t like him, that’s another matter. You must know the story of Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya. Duke Huan of Qi was able to unite the princes and achieve hegemony thanks to the assistance of Guan Zhong. But recommend Guan Zhong to Duke Huan of Qi It was Bao Shuya. But when Guan Zhong was about to die, Duke Huan of Qi asked him if he could let Bao Shuya take over for him. Guan Zhong said no. Duke Huan of Qi asked why? Guan Zhong said that Bao Shuya was too decent." Zhu Huaijing was a little elusive, so he asked: "Then do you want me to be better? Or worse? Why did you suddenly become 'Mencius'? Instead of answering questions directly, you always play in a roundabout way. The clouds cover the fog, and the mountains and rivers are restored!" "My hopes are all in vain. You will do what you want. I have no intention of making moral judgments on official figures, but I have to speak when faced with various topics that have to be said." Zeng Li smiled, and then again get serious. It was noon soon, and Zhu Huaijing was already hungry.And because he was hungry, he was even colder, and he couldn't help shivering.Zeng Li said why he is so intolerant to the cold, he is used to being pampered.Zhu Huaijing said that he was not only cold, but also hungry.Zeng smiled and said that he didn't even eat breakfast!Zhu Huaijing said to go out and find a place to have a few drinks.He thought that when he got to the wine table later, he would never let Zeng Li say that these outsiders had heard inexplicable words.It would be more appropriate to talk about what he wanted to say after having a few glasses of wine.Zeng Li said okay, got out of bed, rinsed his mouth and washed his face.Zeng Li squeezed the frozen towel until it creaked, put it in the cold water and rubbed it a few times, and then wiped it on his face.Seeing Zhu Huaijing, he was almost terrified. When the two of them left the gate of the CPPCC, there were several small restaurants on the left.They chose an air-conditioned shop, went in and sat down.When the lady handed over the list, Zhu Huaijing said that he was treating guests and asked Zeng Li to order.Zeng Li said there was no such reason, you came to my place today, so I should be the host.You order.What did Zhu Huaijing say?Anyway, I invited it, so it's a welcome for you.Of course it was too late.Zeng Li just refused to follow him, so he had to ask him.Zhu Huaijing knew Zeng Li's stubborn temper, so after being polite for a while, he had no choice but to listen to him.The two of them couldn't eat much, so they ordered some dishes casually. After a while the food came out, Zeng Li asked, "Should I have a few drinks?" Zhu Huaijing said: "We have been classmates for many years, but we have never had a drink together. I wonder how much you drink?" Zeng Li said: "Basically, I can be regarded as a non-drinker. But today is the reunion after a long absence, let's have a few drinks. I'm an amateur in alcohol, so I don't know what wine to drink?" Zhu Huaijing called the lady and asked her what good wine is here.The lady said that there are high-end wines such as Moutai and Wuliangye, as well as mid-range and low-end wines.Zhu Huaijing knew that the famous wine in this place was 100% fake wine, so he ordered a bottle of Confucian banquet wine.He didn't like to drink this kind of wine at first, but this kind of place only has this grade, and he didn't want Zeng Li to bleed too much, so he had to make do with it. At the end of the wine glass, Zeng Li joked: "Huai Jing, you have been in the government department for so many years, you must have practiced your drinking capacity well?" Zhu Huaijing said: "I can't drink enough. Why do people think that the image of a cadre is eating and drinking? One-sided! Then again, what's the big deal about eating a few meals now? There are often social gatherings, and it is very annoying. Miles! Like who wants to eat out every day." Zeng Li raised his glass and touched Zhu Huaijing, and they drank it down in one gulp.Zeng Li poured wine and said, "Someone told a joke. Two people were arguing about the style of cadres together. A said that cadres are too corrupt nowadays, and B said, who said cadres are corrupt? They drink wine every day. How can they be corrupt?" " This joke is not new, in order not to disappoint Zeng Li, Zhu Huaijing had no choice but to respond with a smile.He thought he had thought about it beforehand, and would not let Zeng Li talk about such topics anymore, so why did he say these words again?It's really strange that people are sitting together nowadays, not talking about the work style of the cadres, or telling some vulgar jokes, and then talking about where a big crime happened.Hardly any nice topics can be said.Is there really nothing good to say, or is people's mentality becoming unreasonable? "Zeng Li, I've read your article on the case of fake planting of Huangtao in Wu County." Zhu Huai mirrored this casually. Zeng Li looked very casual, and said slowly: "Really? I didn't write it as a simple article. Do you think you just read an article? Just to publish an article, I thought it was very boring. Besides, I often get so angry that I can’t control myself for such articles. This is not a very comfortable thing.” Unexpectedly, when this topic was brought up, it aroused Zeng Li's indignation.Zhu Huaijing had no choice but to put aside his words for the time being, and raised his glass to invite Zeng Li to have a drink together.After Zeng Li drank the second glass of wine, the roots of his ears began to turn red.He really doesn't drink.But Zeng Li is a real person, if he is his own host, he will try his best to give up his life to accompany the gentleman.After a few more drinks, Zhu Huaijing told Zeng Li not to force himself.He didn't want Zeng Li to get drunk either, he hadn't settled on what he wanted to say.Zeng Li is embarrassed, but I really can't afford to accompany you.Zhu Huaijing just didn't want to drink more of this low-grade wine, so the two of them each filled a glass at the end and put it on their lips slowly, just talking. The two were chatting broadly, when Zhu Huaijing suddenly said solemnly: "Zeng Li, don't meddle in the Wuxian matter." "Why?" Zeng Li raised his head and frowned. Zhu Huaijing said: "At that time I was the deputy county magistrate of Wuxian County, and I was very clear about what happened. The fake planting case caused a lot of losses to the farmers. But this case can only be regarded as an economic fraud case. Because it involves other provinces, the handling It’s difficult to think about it. If the county party committee and the government have to be involved, at most it can only be a decision-making error, coupled with the ineffectiveness of the relevant departments. I think this has nothing to do with the work style of the cadres, or even corruption.” Zeng Li looked very surprised, and said: "What? The loss of more than 20 million yuan for farmers, you said it so lightly? Since you were working in Wu County at that time, I believe you knew if there was any problem. Reporting such things , I have always been cautious. I have gone through many days of investigation, and the materials are very detailed." Zhu Huaijing replied: "Your interview and investigation are indeed very detailed, and the existing materials can also convince people, and I can see that you have not revealed all the information you have, and you have left room. However, such a large The case, besides involving other provinces, cannot be clarified within a few days of your investigation. You asked me if I knew there was a problem, and I said that even if I knew there was a problem, I couldn’t tell. What I knew was only one-sided Some of the facts I have learned are just my private guesses. If you really want to go to court, it’s inconceivable. This includes the situation you know. So you write an article to disclose this matter, which can only be regarded as solidarity with public opinion , It may not be helpful to solve the problem. To solve the problem, you have to rely on the attention of the Wu County Party Committee and the government. But if you make this kind of report, it may make the relevant leaders of Wu County passive, which is not conducive to the solution of the problem.” "So, I did something wrong to the people of Wu County?" Zeng Li's expression turned ugly. Zhu Huaijing smiled, shook his hand, and persuaded Zeng Li not to get excited. He said, "Of course I didn't mean that. But you have to admit that there are many cases where good intentions do bad things. Especially this kind of things that involve many people. Triggering incidents. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying you’re triggering mass incidents. There’s nothing wrong with your objective reporting on this case. The problem is that the possible consequences don’t necessarily depend on people’s will. Generally It is not uncommon for mass incidents to turn into political incidents due to improper handling." Zeng Li laughed and said, "Are you so afraid of the masses? The government is afraid of the masses. It doesn't make sense! The masses don't make trouble with the government in general, they just want to protect their own interests. Your government only needs to follow the wishes of the masses If it’s settled, then everything will be fine? I might as well tell you that I know that our newspaper has little influence and is not enough to create pressure on relevant parties, so I submitted articles to other national newspapers. "China Legal News" soon It will be in the papers." Zhu Huaijing's heart skipped a beat, and he became anxious, but he couldn't express his emotions in words.He was silent for a moment, and he didn't talk directly about the fake species, but said some seemingly irrelevant words: "Zeng Li, politics, if you analyze and deal with it according to normal logic, it may not be correct. Originally You should go west, but you often can’t go west right away, maybe you have to go east for a while, then turn back and go west, or go west in a detour.” Zeng Li was still very stubborn, saying: "I am not involved in politics, so I don't need to think about political strategies. I only know to report this incident based on facts. If my report is inaccurate, I am willing to face a lawsuit." This reasoning didn't make any sense, and Zhu Huaijing's heart was on fire.He slowly licked the wine in the glass, feeling more and more bitterness in it.He had long lost interest in drinking.Suddenly felt very cold, chills on the back.The air conditioner here is not effective. It is warm when you first come in, but it gets cold after sitting for a long time.Zhu Huaijing sighed, and had no choice but to come up with a plan, falsely claiming that the case was related to him.He said: "Zeng Li, you should help me at that time. I was the one who caught the peach project. I can guarantee that I am clean. If other people benefit from it, I believe the truth will eventually come to light." One day. Just please leave this matter alone for the time being, so as not to make me inhuman before the matter is clarified." After Zhu Huaijing finished speaking, he looked closely at Zeng Li.Zeng Li's eyes were already red, and he didn't know what kind of image Zhu Huaijing looked like in those drunken eyes.He just had red eyes, half a smile.The two looked at each other for a long time, but still couldn't help it, they closed their eyes, lowered their heads with a long sigh.He buried his head in silence, took a long time to pick up the wine glass, drank the remaining half of the glass in one gulp, and said helplessly, "Well, there is really no way." Zhu Huaijing vaguely understood what he meant, so he took the wine glass and said to have another drink to express his gratitude.Zeng Li's capacity for drinking was exhausted, but he picked up his wine glass, touched Zhu Huaijing, and drank it with his head raised.He shook his head, gave a phone number, and asked Zhu Huaijing to dial the phone.Zhu Huaijing dialed.As soon as the call was made, Zhu Huaijing hurriedly handed over the phone to Zeng Li.After hearing a few words from him, Zhu Huaijing knew that this was a call to an editor of "China Legal News", who asked him to withdraw the article and apologized.It can be heard that Zeng Li has an unusual friendship with this editor.Then Zeng Li made three more long-distance calls, all of which were from national newspapers. After barely sustaining the phone call, Zeng Li was completely drunk.Zhu Huaijing asked the lady to pay the bill.Zeng Li waved his hand carelessly, took out the money from his pocket, and handed it to the young lady.Zhu Huaijing had no choice but to let Zeng Li pay the bill, and then helped him go back to sleep.Zhu Huaijing called Zeng Li a few times, but no answer was received. When Zhu Huaijing left the CPPCC compound, he saw that it was snowing again.The snowflakes on the driveway in the middle of the street were stained with black snow water as soon as they fell.There are few pedestrians on the sidewalk.I don't know if it was because of his drunken eyes, or because of the white snow, Zhu Huaijing felt that people's faces were all sallow, as if the streets were full of sick people.He didn't think of stopping a taxi, but walked carefully, letting the snowflakes fly into his arms and neck.Suddenly remembered that I needed to talk to Xiaoxiong, so I dialed: "Hello, Xiaoxiong? Yes, I am Lao Zhu. I have been very busy these days, and I only have time to gather with some friends from "Jingdu People's Voice" today." .Yes, just finished. Fortunately, there is no delay. Originally, there were four newspapers in Beijing that were about to publish newspapers. Now they have all been withdrawn. Yes, they called in front of me. No problem. Where, where, Thank you for what, it should be!" Zhu Huaijing rushed to the office early, turned on the water, mopped the floor, and wiped the table.During this time, he was always running outside, so he didn't clean the office seriously.He wiped the table, and then went to the cabinet.He only used one of the five big metal cabinets, and the other four mutes have been with him for more than three years, and no one has ever opened them, which always makes him feel mysterious.He thought this might be the last time he served them, so he wiped them carefully.The porcelain tube on the top of the cabinet hadn't been wiped for a long time, so I took it off and wiped it carefully.Unexpectedly, his hand slipped, and the porcelain cylinder fell to the ground with a bang, and it fell to pieces.He broke out in a cold sweat.At this time, Secretary-General Liu just came in, and said with a smile: "Hey, I dismissed it early in the morning? Okay, I dismissed it, Suisui (Sui Sui) is safe." Zhu Huaijing thought that Secretary-General Liu would also be like the former Secretary Gu. I'll give him a long lesson.Unexpectedly, the leader was just making a joke.Zhu Huaijing was still restrained in the end, and said, "Oh, what a pity." Secretary-General Liu stopped talking to him about this matter, and only said, "I'll call you later and take you to the Finance and Trade Office to meet with the comrades. You will officially go to work. The appointment document is under, have you seen it?" Zhu Huaijing hadn't seen the appointment document yet, but he had no choice but to say: "Oh, I saw it." Then he said: "I went to the hospital to see Aunt Yu that day, and she is in good spirits." Secretary Liu smiled and said, "Thank you." Zhu Huaijing sent Secretary-General Liu to the door, and then came back to clean the tiles on the floor.He found it strange that the sound of the rattling tiles sounded very refreshing.Maybe the mood is different.Years later, he still recalled how he felt when he broke the cylinder, as if this accidental act had some symbolic meaning, marking the end of an era for him. Secretary-General Liu didn't come for a while, and he couldn't do anything.He wanted to try to be as calm as possible, but he still felt like a deer.He was about to rush to a new leadership position. After all, this matter was too important for him not to be excited.It's human nature! Can't do anything, and can't sit still.He suddenly thought of the public relations software he had mentioned, and thought that it was indeed a trick.He found a clean notebook, thinking about Mayor Pi and other deputy mayors, Secretary-General Liu and other deputy secretaries-general, and wrote A1, A2, A3, A4... B1, B2, B3, B4 on the notebook ... C1, C2, C3, C4. ... Before he had time to think about all the key people, Secretary-General Liu, Deputy Secretary-General Qin Yuan, and Director of the Personnel Department Jie Shiming came in.Zhu Huaijing hurriedly shook hands with Qin Yuan and Jie Shiming and smiled.Qin Yuan assisted the deputy mayor Sima Tian in contacting finance and trade, and he will be Zhu Huaijing's immediate boss from now on.Zhu Huaijing had wanted to visit Tan Yuan for a long time, but he felt inconvenient because the documents were not available. Secretary-General Liu said to go now. The Finance and Trade Department is located in an office building, and it takes only a few minutes to walk there.The comrades in the department had already received a call from the Personnel Department and were already sitting in the conference room waiting.As soon as the four of Secretary-General Liu and the others arrived, Deng Caigang, the deputy director of the Finance and Trade Department, hurriedly stood up to greet them and shook hands one by one. "Are they all there?" Secretary-General Liu sat down, looked around, and asked. Deng Cai just said, "We're all here, so there are only five people. Of course, including Director Zhu, there are six people." After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhu Huaijing and smiled politely.Zhu Huaijing hurriedly cupped his hands to express his humility. Jie Shiming said a few words first, Qin Yuan continued, and Secretary-General Liu continued.This kind of meeting of the handover team is nothing more than a few words according to the organization's arrangement, who will take up any position, and there is no way to have any new ideas.Zhu Huaijing seemed to be listening to the speeches of Liu Jie and the two seriously, but he was thinking about the people in the Finance and Trade Department.He looked at them casually and politely, trying to figure out their thoughts.Although they are in the same office, the organization is too large, and he has little contact with these people in normal times.Deng Caigang has been the deputy director for many years, and the two directors he worked with are now department-level or deputy department-level cadres, but he is still the deputy director.From the day Zhu Huaijing knew that he was going to work in the Finance and Trade Department, he often thought about Deng Caigang.Maybe whether I'm doing well here or not, I'm afraid it depends on whether Deng Caigang cooperates. After Secretary-General Liu finished speaking, he asked Zhu Huaijing to make another statement.Zhu Huaijing knew that this was a procedure, and he wanted to say what he said, but there was no need to say more.He didn't know the situation of the Finance and Trade Department, so he couldn't say more.Besides, Secretary-General Liu and Qin Yuan don't have time to listen to your inaugural speech here. The meeting ended quickly, and Secretary-General Liu and Jie Shiming left and shook hands with everyone.Zhu Huaijing also shook hands with everyone, and politely said to Deng Caigang: "Old Deng, I will ask for leave today, go back there to clean up things, and come to work officially tomorrow." Deng Caigang hurriedly waved his hand: "You are old. One, how can you ask me for leave?" The two shook hands again, very politely. When Zhu Huaijing returned to the office, he didn't want to clean things up right away.He sat down and continued to write the code names of various key figures.After writing for more than an hour, I finally wrote it.Check it again carefully, make up for some missing ones, and consider those who can go or stay.Qin Yuan was designated as B2 by him, and he was immediately behind Secretary-General Liu in the B-level relationship.Qin Yuan is not ranked second among the secretary generals, but he should be second in this relationship spectrum.Because Qin Yuan is in charge of the Finance and Trade Department, if this relationship is not handled well, no matter how good he does it, it will be for nothing.Finally, there are 28 key figures at all levels who should be in contact with each other for a long time. Although some characters should not be included in the list, they should also be known.People like Song Daqing and Han Changxing, of course, don't need him to visit often, but they have to keep in touch with them.There are some things that big people often can't do, so they can only ask them to help. The work diary for next year has been sent out early, and Zhu Huaijing will write down who he is going to visit on a certain day, using code names in the diary.Write it with a pencil first, and then make appropriate adjustments.Finally, I think the arrangement is reasonable, and I will fill it out with a pen.After doing this well, he threw the diary on the table casually, picked it up and opened it casually, and saw that every few days, there would be a date marked with a strange code such as A1 or B3 or C2.When others see these symbols, they will feel inexplicable.He couldn't help being a little proud, thinking that without a computer, he could still have a public relations processing system. Suddenly, I felt that the office building was surprisingly quiet.I looked at my watch and saw that I had left work early.He stuffed the diary into a drawer and went home.Walking on the road, I was thinking silently: A1 Mayor Pi, B1 Secretary General Liu... After a few days, Zhu Huaijing was socializing every day.First, the General Office saw him off, and all the staff got together for a drink. Secretary-General Liu was invited to the scene.As he clinked glasses with Secretary-General Liu, he naturally thought of B1 in his heart, and thought that this event would cancel a visit he had arranged.What code name represents what character, he has already remembered it by heart.Immediately afterwards, the Finance and Trade Office welcomed him to his post, and had a drink as usual, and Qin Yuan was invited to the scene.Of course he also thought that this could be regarded as a visit to B2.He doesn't necessarily have to take the initiative to visit these people every time. Gatherings like this can also be counted as his public relations "visits", so let's call them quasi-visits.However, it is not advisable to have too many quasi-visits. Too many times is like discounting, even if three quasi-visits are equivalent to one official visit. Zhu Huaijing has gone to work in the Finance and Trade Office.This afternoon, as soon as he arrived at the office, he received the "Jingdu People's Voice" from Zeng Li, which contained Lu Fu's masterpiece: "Yuan Shenxian Xingxia Ji".He knew that this was undoubtedly about Yuan Xiaoqi.I didn't have time to read the article carefully, but I saw a line written by Zeng Li in the blank space of the newspaper: In the last days, there must be evil words!Zeng Li's handwriting is very beautiful, and reading the article again, it's amazing: ... The restaurant is famous for slaughtering customers when it comes to Chunzai, and the guests who have been there are very angry.On this day, Mr. Yuan took a few brothers to Chunzai for dinner.I ordered a few dishes and they came out quickly.Not to mention the price of the dishes, the portions are very small.Mr. Yuan wanted to punish them, so he called the waitress and said that the fish that was served just now was stinky.The lady felt very strange, it was obviously made of live fish, so why did it stink?Mr. Yuan let her smell it by herself.When the lady smelled it, she found that the fish on the plate was really smelly. The boss rushed over after hearing the sound, and scolded Mr. Yuan that they deliberately made things difficult.Mr. Yuan didn't make a fuss, so he politely asked the boss to hear it for himself.When the boss heard it, he was immediately dumbfounded.This is really a ghost, the live fish that just came out of the pool on the table, why does it stink as soon as it is on the table? At this moment, Mr. Yuan frowned suddenly, covered his nose and said, I also smell that the meat in your kitchen is rotten.How can the hotel owner believe it?Said, I don't believe that today is just a ghost.Mr. Yuan smiled but did not answer.Just motioned him to go in and see for himself.The boss was dubious and went into the kitchen.After a while, the boss ran out, bowed his hands to Mr. Yuan and bowed: "Where is this gentleman from? Brother, where did I neglect?" Mr. Yuan clapped his hands and smiled, and said, "You didn't offend me. Brothers only have one word to say to each other: business is half of affection. You just remember my words, and I guarantee that your business will be prosperous in the future, and no strange things will happen again." After Mr. Yuan finished speaking, he led his brothers laughing and left.The boss understood what Mr. Yuan meant, and he has been doing business in a serious manner ever since. Zhu Huaijing just shook his head after seeing this.鲁夫的笔锋就像明清通俗小说，哪像是写真人真事？看了下面，还有更奇的： 一天，袁先生同几个徒弟在外面散步。忽然，一辆轿车呼啸而过，一位老太太被溅得满身泥水。袁先生见不得这种不可一世的轻狂人，不管这车是谁的，他都得惩罚一下他们。只见袁先生抬手轻轻一挥，那轿车立马就熄了火。徒弟们知道这是师父在做手脚，都掩嘴而笑。袁先生却没事似的，说：“笑什么？快去帮老太太把泥水擦干净了。” 等老太太千恩万谢地走了，袁先生又将手一扬，那轿车却自己动起来了。坐在车里的人也许永远也不会明白他们刚才碰上了什么神奇的事情，但愿他们有一天能够明白怎么尊重别人，哪怕是最平凡的人。 朱怀镜暗自发笑，想这鲁夫笔下的袁小奇，还真有些替天行道的意思。下面的一则故事，真叫人顿生匪夷之思了： ……小明是个孝顺的孩子，除了读书，还得做小工挣钱，为他卧病在床的母亲治病。他的母亲的病生得很怪，吃得睡得，不痛不痒，只是浑身无力，手不能提，肩不能挑，连站都站不稳。袁先生得知这娘儿俩可怜，亲自上门看望。原来袁先生身怀不明法术，常常替人祛病消灾。他为人治病招术很怪，一不用针灸，二不用药剂。他要么让你喝一碗清水，要么他只拍你几板，要么大叫几声。效果却神奇得很。他看了一眼小明的妈妈，没说别的，只说：“放心放心，明日就好。”说罢就回来了。 有个徒弟不太相信，第二天跑去一看，果然那妇人病好了，正在家里做家务哩！ 这位徒弟问其缘故，袁先生笑道：“这位妇人的病生的奇怪， 我平素从未见过。我就在夜深人静的时候心神入定，为她遥发功力，让她康复。” 徒弟连连称奇，心想那妇人还不知道自己怎么就突然病好了哩！ 朱怀镜没兴趣在看下去。他挂了曾俚电话：“喂，你们报纸怎么发这种屁文章？” 曾俚说：“我又不是这里的领导，你问我我问谁去？只要肯出钱，什么文章不可以发？” 朱怀镜见曾俚口没遮拦，就说：“你轻声点吧，你那里没有同事在座？” “我才不顾及这些哩！”曾俚说。 放下电话，朱怀镜再仔细想想袁小奇这个人，他自己也有些弄不明白。鲁夫的文章写得这么玄乎其玄，他不相信。但他又的确亲眼见识过袁小奇神秘表演。袁小奇徒手将酒变成水，又将水变成酒，他没看出什么破绽。袁小奇陪皮市长打麻将，要和什么牌就和什么牌，要谁和牌就谁和牌，他也没看出其中的讥诮。难道袁小奇真是个奇人？外地已有很多奇人了，最著名的当是张宝胜、严新、海灯法师。关于这些奇人的故事他也听过不少，就是不太相信。 The phone rang.朱怀镜拿起电话筒一接，原来是韩长兴。 “喂，朱处长吗？”韩长兴总是很客气地叫他朱处长，他也只得叫他韩处长：“你好啊，韩处长有什么指示？” 韩长兴忙说：“岂敢啊，谁敢指示你朱处长？祝贺你高升啊！我想请几个兄弟庆贺一下，怎么样？” 朱怀镜听了，几乎吓了一跳。他知道韩长兴是个欠含蓄的人，搞得这么张张扬扬的，影响不好。他便婉谢道：“感谢你啊，韩处长！这处长是你早当剩下的，还有什么值得庆贺的？免了罢。” “哪里哪里，你这处长同我这处长不同啊！我只是为大家打打杂而已。你这处长就前程不可限量啊。”韩处长在电话里豪声说道。 朱怀镜不知韩长兴办公室是不是还有别人，也不知他这么高声大气地说话，别人是不是听得见。真让别的同事听了，至少会笑话他的。不就是当了个处长吗？搞得这么了不起似的。他想快些结束谈话，只好说：“那就谢谢韩处长了。听你安排？” 韩长兴高兴道：“好啊。我叫了几个乌县老乡，你不一定认得，都是很好的朋友。你说放在哪里好？” 朱怀镜不想多说，只道：“都听你的吧。” 韩长兴话却很多，说：“我不想放在荆园，那里菜总是老一套，变不了样儿。还是放在龙兴如何？” 朱怀镜当然也愿意去龙兴，口上只作平淡，说：“一切听你安排啊。” 放了电话，朱怀镜马上就打了玉琴手机，说晚上有人请他去龙兴吃饭。他好几天没去玉琴那里了，她有些不悦，故意气他，说：“作为我们龙兴大酒店的客人，我表示真诚地欢迎。” 朱怀镜不说别的，只死皮赖脸地笑。玉琴听他笑了一会儿，说：“别傻笑了，对着电话笑得付钱哩。”
