The time is the autumn of the twenty-ninth year. The location is on the outskirts of Chongqing, a certain institution in the relocated area. figure Secretary Tong Chief Yu Qin medical officer Ouyang Xue Zhou Mingyuan Fang Xinzheng sings the piano Zhao Qin [Opening.Secretary Tong has high blood pressure and sometimes plays poker all night long, which is a shame for his friends. He played 16 rounds last night, barely got up at noon today, and finally came to work at three o'clock in the afternoon.The agencies were evacuated to the countryside, and all the equipment is very simple, which is already sad.In addition, life is hard day by day, and more than 20 years of experience as an official are still not enough to see Shangfeng, show his arms, old clothes and shabby rooms, how embarrassing!In addition, the heat increased after playing cards, and I had to touch my face and head with my hands from time to time, and my body and spirit were weakened, so sad!Therefore, it is impossible not to lose your temper.Worker Zhao Qin came in to pour tea, and then took out a letter from the bag.

Secretary Zhao Qin, a letter. (Puts the letter down with one hand) Secretary Tong (proudly) Yes! (Looking at Zhao going to leave) Zhao Qin, let me ask you, are you just passing things to "me" like this?Do you know the rules but don't you? Zhao Qin (inexplicably) I—— Secretary Tong, what is your (pointing) "that" hand for?Zhao Qin (looks at "that" hand) This—— Secretary Tong handed over the letter with both hands!I am your boss! Zhao Qin (suddenly realizes, re-delivers the letter) Like this? Secretary Tong! (Nods slightly, orders Zhao Fangxin to put it on the table) When did you come here?

Zhao Qin is past one o'clock. Where is Secretary Tong now? It's about three o'clock for Zhao Qin. Secretary Tong, you look down on me too much! (Passing his face lightly with the palm of his hand) When the letter arrives, don’t send it to my home right away, give it to me now, you are too arrogant! Secretary Zhao Qin! Secretary Tong, don't speak!I know, you see, I was a secretary last year, and I am still a secretary this year. Others are promoted, but I am always a secretary, so you look down on me. Let me tell you, I have been an official for more than 20 years, and my qualifications are older than them; Eyes open to see people!

Zhao Qin, I'm too busy, secretary! Secretary Tong, what can you do?It's not to curry favor with those powerful people.Put my business aside! Zhao Qin, how dare I! Secretary Tong, don't say any more, I get a fever when I get angry! (He touches his face again. He takes out a cigarette. Because it is not a good cigarette, he dare not take out the box, but only takes out one) Zhao Qin (quickly strokes a match) Secretary! Secretary Tong (puts the cigarette on the table) Don't smoke yet, dizzy! Zhao Qin, let me ask Doctor Qin to show it to the secretary, okay? Secretary Tong doesn't need it!As soon as he came, he must have said that my blood pressure was high and that I shouldn't play poker.It seems that the high blood pressure is all my own fault, not his doctor's fault!

Zhao Qin is a medical officer anyway, so he should serve the secretary! Secretary Tong is fine too, "call" him here! (Exit Zhao. He picks up the letter and examines it. If there is any suspicious person, he rings the bell, but no one comes; he walks to the door and sees Secretary Zhou Mingyuan) Hey, come here! Zhou Mingyuan (walks in melancholy) What are you doing? Secretary Tong (sitting down) went to ask who sent this letter?Who received it?Who gave it to Lao Zhao? Zhou Mingyuan, I am the secretary, I don't care about sending and receiving letters! Secretary Tong, are you the secretary?Doesn't the secretary serve the secretary?Zhou Mingyuan, I still have a few official documents, so I have to copy them quickly!

Secretary Tong's work for me is equivalent to office work, let me tell you!Zhou Mingyuan (sighs) Oh! Secretary Tong, what's the matter with you? Zhou Mingyuan, I can't go! What about Secretary Tong? Zhou Mingyuan, I am the secretary, my status is already low enough, I can no longer do miscellaneous work! Secretary Tong (seems quite impressed) Hmm! There is no one in Zhou Mingyuan, no one thinks highly of me!Even my parents look down on me! Secretary Tong, how old are you this year? Zhou Mingyuan was twenty-five! Secretary Tong, you are still young, you should study more, let me tell you, although you don't know the rules, I think you are very promising, because you know to pay attention to your identity!However, you must know that while you are young, you must try to raise your status; when your status is quite high, everyone will give you face!

Zhou Mingyuan (seems inspired) Is that right? Secretary Tong, look at me, I have been an official for more than 20 years, and now I am in my fifties, and I am still struggling every day, let alone you! Zhou Mingyuan is right!right!secretary!From today onwards, I will be your secretary!I want to learn, I want to climb up, and teach everyone not to underestimate me!OK, I'll investigate that letter!Secretary, if I work for you, will you promote me? Secretary Tong, of course!Who knows to respect me, I will cultivate whoever!However, you must know the distance between you and me, and you are not allowed to play wild and nonsense!Don't think that if I give you face, you can do whatever you want and forget the rules!Zhou Mingyuan is the secretary! (to go)

Secretary Tong is back!What do I say?You're getting carried away now!If you don't understand this letter, how can you investigate it?absurd! Zhou Mingyuan, I am anxious to do something for the secretary!You see, people usually say that the secretary has a temper and is not easy to serve; now I understand—— Secretary Tong, who said that I have a temper, is anyone dissatisfied with me, who?Someone in Zhou Mingyuan said that, but I can't remember who it was! Secretary Tong vomits!Everyone is afraid of me, isn't it? Zhou Mingyuan (hesitatingly) Ah - yes! Secretary Tong told the truth!What have you heard?

Zhou Mingyuan and the others, they—— Secretary Tong said! Zhou Mingyuan, someone said two days ago that the secretary's position was a bit precarious! Secretary Tong (silent for a while) It's a complete rumor, nonsense!Hmph, my status is unstable?Ha, ha, nonsense!Do they think I've reached the top when I become a secretary?I was a secretary when I was in the Beiyang government!unstable?what!I have to go up! Secretary Zhao Qin (top), Medical Officer Qin—— Secretary Tong, wait a minute!Who sent this letter? It was given to me in Zhao Qin's room. Who sent Secretary Tong to the room number?

Zhao Qin must be the postman! Secretary Tong is an asshole!There are no stamps on this! I don't know about Zhao Qin—report to the secretary. Doctor Qin is very busy, so he asked the secretary to go to the clinic. Secretary Tong, what?I sent him, but he told me to find him?This is outrageous! Doctor Zhao Qinqin is really busy, there are more than a dozen patients waiting to see a doctor! Secretary Tong, you are an asshole!I didn't ask him to see a doctor, it's all your nonsense!But you are incapable of calling him here!Deliberately smearing my face, hum, it's just teasing me!I know, you guys conspired to tease me together!

Zhao Qinhao's clinic is not half a mile away from here, the secretary is active, walk a few steps, maybe—— Secretary Tong, stop talking!Secretary Zhou, you go, you must bring him!Looking at Dr. Qin's appearance, I'm afraid he also heard rumors.I'll teach him that today I'm still Secretary Tong, if he dares not serve me, I'll tell him to get out immediately!go! Zhou Mingyuan is! (Down) Secretary Tong is so annoying!It's so annoying!Pour tea! (Zhao pours tea. He reads the letter carefully again, but still dare not open it) Zhao Qin (offering tea) Secretary, don't be too angry, your blood pressure is high! Secretary Tong is talking nonsense!High blood pressure! (touching face) It's much hotter than before! Doctor Zhao Qinqin is here, please don't be angry with him, the secretary's health is important!Secretary Tong, my "identity" is more important!Okay, even a little doctor dares to underestimate me, it's outrageous! Zhao Qin is!What else is there for the secretary? Secretary Tong (thought for a while) went to buy me white melon seeds for one yuan. I heard that white melon seeds can cure high blood pressure. (give money) You probably can't buy it near Zhao Qin. Secretary Tong took the money back, no need to buy it!Could it be that you also heard—(It is inconvenient to say again) What's the matter with Zhao Qin, secretary? Secretary Tong——I don’t have one nearby, so I won’t go to Liujiawan to buy it?People like you walk a few more steps, are you afraid that your feet will grow too big? Zhao Qin It's not that I'm afraid of walking! Secretary Tong thinks the money is low, is it worth the trip?I've heard people say this, and I'm not sure if it will work or not, so I want a dollar first.If it really works, I might buy one for a thousand dollars. Neither is Zhao Qin!I'm afraid that no one is here to serve the secretary! Secretary Tong, stop talking nonsense!Alas, it takes so much talking with a footman, what year!Go, buy it and send it home. Zhao Qin is!What about the letter? Secretary Tong, you are confused and can't figure out this kind of thing!Go ahead, send the melon seeds home, and then ask the lady if she has anything to do; if there is something to do, you will finish it and come back for dinner. Zhao Qin is!Lao Yang from your place is gone again?Is the secretary still looking for someone? Of course Secretary Tong is looking for someone, but can I carry water and buy things by myself? Zhao Qin has a fellow countryman, who is very nice, and the secretary—— Secretary Tong went to buy melon seeds first, and we'll talk when I come back! Zhao Qin is in charge of the meal, just give him another twenty-five yuan! Secretary Tong eats a bucket of rice from me—fuck you, talk about it when you come back, do you hear me? Zhao Qin is! (to go) Secretary Tong is also there, look at Section Chief Yu, and invite him to come over and talk! Zhao Qin is! (Down) Secretary Tong (touched his face again, and sighed. He picked up the letter and wanted to open it. When Secretary Zhou came in, he put it in his pocket) Where is Dr. Qin?Doctor Zhou Mingyuan was very busy, so the nurse came. Secretary Tong!Teach her to come in! Zhou Mingyuan is!I'll investigate that letter right away! Secretary Tong, yes - there is no need to investigate! What about Zhou Mingyuan? Secretary Tong, you can do what I tell you to do; you won’t do what I don’t tell you to do; don’t ask too many questions!Teach the nurse to come in! It's so easy for Zhou Mingyuan...ah, the secretary will assign me something else, okay?Secretary, I would like to do more for you if I die for my confidant! Secretary Tong is ashamed!Shame on you!Too wordy!Go—teach her to come in! (Zhou goes down in disappointment, Ouyang Shang) Why didn't Doctor Qin come, I passed on him—— Ouyang Xue is not me! Secretary Tong understood, who are you talking to!You are a little girl, I have to be polite, if you are like Doctor Qin—— Ouyang Xue is a jerk. Secretary Tong - I'm so confused, I don't want to save any face!What is Doctor Qin doing? Ouyang Xue is seeing a doctor. Who is Secretary Tong for? Ouyang Xue also has our acquaintances, as well as ordinary people nearby; anyway, they are all patients. Is Secretary Tong their elder or mine? Who is Ouyang Xue seriously ill? Secretary Tong's identity and status!I am a secretary, he should serve me, am I not as good as ordinary people? Ouyang Xue probably in the eyes of a doctor, a patient is a patient, they are all the same!Doctor Qin taught me to tell the secretary that I would come to see the secretary after all the patients were dismissed. Secretary Tong Oh!Let me ask you, does Doctor Qin look down on me?Is someone instigating him to fight against me? Where did Ouyang Xue get so many things done?He is very busy now, he will come when he is done, and let me tell you first, is there anything unclear about this? Secretary Tong is not that simple!No-- Ouyang Xue, what about the secretary? Secretary Tong told him to come right away!Tell him that I am not very sick, just to teach him a lesson! Isn't Ouyang Xue trying to be idle? Secretary Tong, you don't understand!I have been an official for more than 20 years, and I have never been subjected to this!Go, tell him to go! Ouyang Xue, if I told him that, he would definitely be even more unwilling to come! Secretary Tong, how dare he come!Hmph, (as if saying to myself) It's time, I should also stand up!If he dares to disobey my order, I will teach him to get out!Ouyang Xue is a very good doctor, he is a good doctor and a good person! Secretary Tong, I think he is not good, he is not good!go! Zhou Mingyuan (runs in): Secretary!secretary! Secretary Tong, what's wrong? Zhou Mingyuan, I have invited Doctor Qin here!Is this my credit? Doctor Qin (comes in quickly, to Ou) Hurry back!Change the dressing on the twenty-eighth, teach the twenty-ninth to wait a bit, I'll go back and give him a prescription right away! (Exit Ou) Secretary, what's wrong? Secretary Tong is not sick!I want to teach you a lesson!Teach you to know when I preach to you, and you should come right away! Doctor Qin's patient is still waiting for me, I don't have time to fight with you! (to leave) Zhou Mingyuan (stops Qin) Doctor, medical officer!He's a secretary, you have to show him face! Doctor Qin dodges!I only care about seeing a doctor, nothing else!Why do you lie, young man? Zhou Mingyuan, if I don't say that, are you willing to come, doctor? Hello Secretary Tong!it is good! Secretary Qin, the medical officer, are you sick?I have my job, so I can't wait on you all the time!If you still have high blood pressure, stop playing poker! It's my business whether Secretary Tong plays cards or not, but it's your business to cure high blood pressure!I have been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, and I have never seen a medical officer like you!Fortunately, you are only a medical officer, I have a way to cure you! Zhou Mingyuan, Doctor Qin, say a few soft words!Look on my face, let this one pass! Doctor Qin, what are you doing?Get out of the way! (Almost pushes Zhou down, walks out) Hello Secretary Tong!it is good!I see!I see!Zhou Mingyuan doesn't need to be so angry, the secretary's blood pressure is high! Secretary Tong, get out too! Zhou Mingyuan, what's wrong with me? Secretary Tong, you just bring him and it's over. If you don't go out right away, you stand here and see my embarrassment. You are nothing! Zhou Mingyuan, I made a fool of myself!I kindly— Secretary Tong, stop talking!If you dare to tell others what happened just now, I will fire you immediately!Walk! Zhou Mingyuan, okay! Section Chief Yu (top) Secretary, who are you losing your temper with?Your blood pressure is high, why get angry with ignorant people? Secretary Tong (to Zhou) What are you still doing here?Why don't you go out for me?Zhou Mingyuan (laughing bitterly) Alright! (Down) What's the matter with Chief Yu, secretary? Secretary Tong is all about you, the section chief!sit down! Section Chief Yu and my business?That's easy, I'm the secretary's bosom friend. Secretary Tong, you have to do it for me, otherwise, I won't have the face to come to work again! Section Chief Yu (sitting) What happened? Secretary Tong is that doctor surnamed Qin again. He has been mad at me, on purpose, more than once. Today this time can be regarded as the pinnacle! Section Chief Yu is such a daredevil, it's impossible to get angry with him! Secretary Tong, no, no!Today has reached the point where there is him without me, and there is me without him!He belongs to your department, you have to deal with him again! Chief Yu? ! Secretary Tong, look, I'm not feeling well today. (touch face) Section Chief Yu "touched" it again last night? Secretary Tong's friends want to play with me for a while, I have to accompany them, it's a matter of face! Chief Yu is not bad at all! Secretary Tong, I sent him to show me. The first time he didn't come, the second time he sent a nurse to perfuse me, and the third time he came by himself and scolded me face to face! Chief Yu is too outrageous!I must find a way to vent my anger on you!Secretary Tong is not just a matter of venting his anger! (Slowly stands up, looking out of the window as if filled with infinite grief and indignation) Section Chief Yu (stands up too) Then—— Secretary Tong (walking a few steps slowly with her hands behind her back) Oh, hum!Chief Yu (hurries over) What's the matter, secretary? Secretary Tong couldn't explain it in one word!It's hard to say! (Suddenly extremely angry) I told him to fuck off! Section Chief Yu Yes, yes!I must punish him and vent my anger on you! Secretary Tong (waving his hand) It's not just a matter of venting anger!Section Chief, look at me!I still look like an official! Section Chief Yu (looking around) Why doesn't it look like that? Look at Secretary Tong, (pointing) the clothes don't look like clothes!Look, (pointing to) the house is not like a house!secretary?I look like a beggar! Section Chief Yu, who is not like that! (Passes over to Tong's clothes) Your material is much better than mine!Look, my whole body is like a sack! Secretary Tong, you still have a way out, but I don't! Chief Yu, you are the secretary and I am the chief, but you have no way out? Secretary Tong (sit down slowly, stunned for a while) No! What about Chief Yu? Secretary Tong, my status restricts me!The family in Shanghai and the family here have to maintain their face; the ancestors, Yan, were both Jinshi, so I can't let my family tradition be ruined!At the same time, socializing, I can't lag behind!At the same time, I can't think about the way to get rich, I can only be active in the political circle, but... well, even a little doctor looks down on me. Chief Yu, Doctor Qin, has such a temper, he will never dare to underestimate you! Secretary Tong No, it's not that simple!Who is he? It was recommended by Section Chief Liu. Secretary Tong is finished, Director Liu is my enemy. Secretary Yu, section chief, don't blame me for speaking the truth, you are sometimes too self-willed, and you can't teach Director Liu to get off the stage! Secretary Tong, who taught him that he was not of high background, who taught him that he was not qualified.That can't be helped!I am a scholar for generations, and I have been an official for more than 20 years, so I naturally look down on them!I want to fight them! Section Chief Yu, why bother?secretary!It is inconvenient for us to perfunctory others, but it is also inconvenient for us to offend more people. Secretary Tong, I know that everyone doesn't take me seriously, I want to make a name for myself!At the same time, I have to strive for development and teach them that Secretary Tong is not born to be a secretary! Since the secretary of the section chief has developed, I will also rise up!But what about— Secretary Tong, don't you also—tell me, what did you hear? Chief Yu, I didn't hear anything! Secretary Tong, you are not my good friend! Chief Yu Really, I didn't hear anything!Only, ah—they might think the secretary was too slow.In fact, the secretary is not slow in doing things, but everything was tense during the Anti-Japanese War, so it shows that you are a little slower!It doesn't matter!Secretary Tong, I can't lose my status because of the War of Resistance. I'm not a quartermaster, so what am I busy with?A business should be done for ten days, so I will do it for ten days. I can't be so busy with one business! Zhao Qin (running in very excitedly) Secretary Tong, here's a dollar for you! (put down the money and leave) Secretary Tong is back!What's the matter with you? Zhao Qin, I made a fortune, secretary! Section Chief Yu, have you made a fortune?Old Zhao!How did you get rich? Zhao Qin has a house and land!Uncle gave it to me!His sons and daughters are all dead, teach me to be a young master!It's not—(Takes out the telegram) Section Chief Yu (reading the telegram) Uh--it didn't say how much it was! Zhao Qin doesn't count the house and land, he always has hundreds of thousands of cash, I know! Section Chief Yu (returning the telegram) Congratulations!Congratulations! (shakes Zhao's hand) What are you going to do? Zhao Qin is going home!I'm fine now, I don't need to run ten miles to buy melon seeds worth one yuan! Section Chief Yu don't leave yet.Mr. Zhao!I have something to say to you!Let's do this, you move to my house first, I have a lot to say to you!We are old friends, you are welcome! Zhao Qin, I have to go home first! Section Chief Yu doesn't have a car, so you can't go anyway!Leave it to me, I will find a way for you and buy a ticket! Secretary Tong, let's go, Old Zhao! Section Chief Yu must wait for me, let's talk, Mr. Zhao! (Exit Zhao) Zhao Qin is really good, he has a good uncle! Secretary Tong, Section Chief Yu, I want to say a few unpleasant words, okay? Section Chief Yu, please speak!I will never distract myself from the secretary! Secretary Tong, sit down! (Yu Si) I think you went a little too far with Lao Zhao just now!Yes, he made a small fortune.Let's look at him differently.However, he is a footman after all, so he is not embarrassed, is he? Secretary Yu, the section chief, I know your self-esteem very well, and I admire you!However, please don't blame me for telling the truth: Secretary, you didn't grasp the times! Secretary Tong didn't grasp the times? Section Chief Yu didn't grasp the times!In today's society, who has the highest status? Secretary Tong is ours! Section Chief Yu, we are still a little behind! Secretary Tong, are we even close? Section Chief Yu Yes!As a secretary, your status is very high; however, the rice you eat, the cigarettes you smoke—— Secretary Tong (takes out the cigarette case) Really, I forgot to give up the cigarette too!You can choose one; there are "beautiful", "knife card", and "child prodigy".In what year, a secretary even considered the "Daying Brand" as a luxury item! Section Chief Yu (chooses) the golden mean!Let me support "beautiful"! (Strike the fire to light Tong's first, then his own) I mean, the tea you drink, everything is so expensive, so we have no place to complain about our sufferings.Who, whose idea?Who is this great man who made fun of us? Who is Secretary Tong? Yu Section Chief Merchant!That's clear!Well, now Lao Zhao has more than one hundred thousand—— Secretary Tong's money is his! Section Chief Yu, but we can plan for him, our status, his capital—— Secretary Tong is willing to listen to you? Section Chief Yu gave him face!With enough face, even the stubborn stone has to nod!Secretary, strike while the iron is hot, I'll go find him right away, and then we'll go to the house to have dinner together, okay? Secretary Tong, I invite Lao Zhao to dinner? Section Chief Yu grasps the times!Seize the times! Zhou Mingyuan (enters in a hurry): Secretary! Secretary Tong (almost startled) What's the matter? Oh, Zhou Mingyuan, Section Chief Yu is here too!Even better! Section Chief Yu, what's better? Chief Zhou Mingyuan, I have lived to be twenty-five years old, and no one has ever looked down on me.Today, Secretary Tong told me a good thing.I began to understand the truth of being a human being.I spent this month's salary, and prepared a small meal in the small restaurant near us, and I must invite the secretary and section chief to appreciate it!With the two of you sitting with me for a while, my status will be much higher in the future!Don't miss the face, I'll go and wait for the two of you first, secretary and section chief! (to go) Section Chief Yu wait a minute! Secretary Tong, I can't go! What about Zhou Mingyuan? Section Chief Yu Zhou Mingyuan, hurry up and find some secretaries, send and receive, and eat those dishes, don't throw away your one month's salary for nothing.The secretary can't invite you, just as you can't invite the secretary; between the secretary and the secretary, there are so many layers (gesturing with hands)! Zhou Mingyuan (biting his upper lip) Aren't you going? Chief Yu, let's go!The secretary and I don't blame you, it's already good, stop messing around!go!Do it again next time and keep an eye on your errands! Secretary Zhou Mingyuan, you can just do it this time, I'm ready!How about sitting there for a while? Secretary Tong is such a child! Section Chief Yu, let's go! Zhou Mingyuan my... Ouyang Xue (outside the door) Zhou Mingyuan!Zhou Mingyuan! Zhou Mingyuan!here! Secretary Tong went out and said! Ouyang Xue (already at the door) Zhou Mingyuan, Doctor Qin—— Secretary Tong went outside to talk! Ouyang Xue (ignore it) Dr. Qin has something to do and can't come.He knew you had no money, so he said, I'll give you five dollars for a dinner party. (Handing money) Zhou Mingyuan—— Ouyang Xue, go on, what's there to be embarrassed about! (Put money into Zhou's pocket) Nurse Ouyang, the section chief, met Dr. Qin and told him to wait for me and tell him something. Ouyang Xue is still worried about what happened just now, right? Section Chief Yu may or may not be.Anyway, we have to teach each other how to save face when we do things! Ouyang Xue, I think you are all making trouble out of nothing, you better find something serious to do.Oh, Zhou Mingyuan also invited you, right?Whether you go or not, it seems that you have to give him some money. He is not a rich person, and things are so expensive! Secretary Tong (Xiang Zhou) You know that Dr. Qin offended me and invited me to have dinner with him. What's wrong with you? Zhou Mingyuan, I want to mediate for you! Secretary Tong, you?You mediate?Are you a little crazy? ! Chief Yu Zhou Mingyuan, let's go!Next time you talk nonsense again, I won't let you off easily! Ouyang Xue has already prepared his meal, why don't you give him any money?Zhou Mingyuan (to Ou) thank Doctor Qin for me! (glances at Tong, then walks away with head held high) Section Chief Yu told Doctor Qin to wait for us, Nurse Ouyang. If Ouyang Xue was still worried about the matter just now, there would be nothing to say at all!Doctor Qin is tired of being here, and will go to the front soon, and I am willing to go with him to serve those glorious anti-Japanese soldiers! Section Chief Yu (stands up) to the front?Which war zone? The commanders of Ouyang Xue's No. 1 and No. 9 theaters all sent telegrams. Section Chief Yu "everyone" sent a telegram?Commander-in-Chief?Miss Ouyang, this face must be improved!We can't all break up like this! Doctor Ouyang Xueqin didn't take this matter to heart at all.You talk about face, we as doctors and nurses talk about the spirit of service! No matter what Section Chief Yu says, please "please" Doctor Qin to wait for me! Ouyang Xue is fine too! (Down) Did Secretary Tong see it?Not only a doctor, but even a nurse is so unruly! It was easy for section chief Yu to understand that they were going to the front, and of course they were doing things carelessly and recklessly these days. Secretary Tong, I don't think so.This is probably Director Liu's trick, deliberately teaching them to shame me, I beg you, get them both off immediately, they are all under your department! Secretary Yu, section chief, please don't embarrass me too much! Secretary Tong won't even help me?it is good!it is good! Secretary Yu, Section Chief!secretary!Hey, I wish I could take my heart out and show you, I've been working as a secretary for years, don't you understand me? Secretary Tong So, tell me, have you heard any rumors? Section Chief Yu, what rumors? Secretary Tong, um—let me tell you, someone said, I——my status—— How about Chief Yu? Secretary Tong no - of course, I don't believe it! I haven't heard of Section Chief Yu, really!Rumors abound, especially about secretaries, and because—forgive me for being frank—you have a temper sometimes, and no one dares to mess with you, so there is nothing you can do but create some rumours.Secretary Tong Oh!However, I am not bad-tempered!Sometimes I'm tough on people, it's purely for my status!Can discipline and rules be easily given up? Good job Chief Yu, I understand you! Secretary Tong (passes the cigarette again) Pick another one! Section Chief Yu (randomly took one) was lucky, and it was "beautiful" again! Secretary Tong (meets a "child prodigy", looks at it, and falls to the ground) Chief Yu!From my family, from myself, from the discipline of the officialdom, etc., I can no longer be perfunctory, I want to go out!I'm in my fifties and can't delay any longer! You can't just print the title of secretary on the obituary!I'll do it with them, to the end! Section Chief Yu is right!I follow your command, if you have a way, I will have a way out! Secretary Tong should take Dr. Qin first! Section Chief Yu is already going to the front, and the "two" commanders have both sent him telegrams.I think we should think again!I think, at least he needs to be the chief of a military doctor in a war zone, with a salary of six to seven hundred yuan, the rank of major general or lieutenant general, and just buying medicines, he will have a huge amount of "free income"!Yes, today he wiped our face.However, if we can try to pull him over, his face will be added to our face; face plus face equals great face!Not only should we not take him under the knife, but we have to win him over! Secretary Tong wins him over? Section Chief Yu (nodding proudly) We have a very good idea, and we will surely succeed! What does Secretary Tong mean? Chief Yu (sitting down next to Tong) Ms. Secretary Tong, what miss? Section Chief Yu, Ms. Tong! Secretary Tong, what does she have to do with this?Let me tell you, a daughter of a famous family is not just talking and joking! Section Chief Yu, I beg your forgiveness!However, how old is Miss this year? Secretary Tong always said she was seventeen, which made me forget her real age!There are about twenty-five or six! Section Chief Yu is supposed to be married at a male college and hired at a female college, secretary! Secretary Tong is in trouble!Disaster!The marriage of a daughter's family is related to the face of the whole family!What a dilemma for a person of my status!Think twice before doing anything! (Sigh) My daughter can't marry a doctor, let alone a doctor like Qin! Chief Yu, we are just gossiping, the secretary, don't blame me!Doctor Qin went to the mansion to see a doctor? Secretary Tong (nodding) Yes. Section Chief Yu, so he met Miss Tong. Secretary Tong, stop talking!It's another rumor! Section Chief Yu But, what if Miss wants? Secretary Tong is my daughter, I have my own way!Please don't mention this again! Hello, Chief Yu!I will never mention it again!Then, don't be too hard on me about Doctor Qin offending you, Secretary!I'll teach him to go to the mansion to apologize, okay?

Secretary Tong hasn't heard from him for a long time.If he was still the chief of the section, wouldn't it be time to meet up? Section Chief Yu, I am busy with my work, shall I? Secretary Tong, wait!You will meet them for a while!You have sharp eyes and a lot of thoughts! Fang Xinzheng (same as Shan Mingqin. Both of them wear clothes that can only be seen from a distance, but they show "flaws" when viewed up close. The men wear suits and no hats. The women still have everything available, complete with leather bags and umbrellas, but no perm) Secretary Tong , you are more blessed!

Shan Mingqin is not, go to - what is it called slope?Met Deputy Chief Wei.We didn't see him, but he saw us. Fang Xinzheng's car was going uphill, walking very slowly.

Section Chief Yu can't keep up with Suzhou, Mrs. Fang? Don't call me Mrs. Fang, Shan Mingqin, that's too feudal! "Miss Shan Mingqin" seems to be more contemporary.

Secretary Tong is now planning to— Fang Xin is planning to organize an industrial company. For Shan Mingqin's small-scale operation, he will raise a capital of three to four million yuan first, and then expand later. Section Chief Yu three or four million? There are too few single harps!I originally said it would cost at least 10 million, but Xinzheng always thought it would be better to find a horse by riding a horse; he is too cautious! How much is Section Chief Yu’s share? One thousand pianos. Secretary Yu, Section Chief, Lao Zhao can subscribe for 100 shares by himself!Which old Zhao is Shan Mingqin?Which old Zhao?
