Chapter 4 third act

A few days after the second act. The location is Secretary Tong's home. Character Tong Secretary Yu Section Chief Qin Medical Officer Tong Jifen Ouyang Xue Zhou Mingyuan Fang Xinzheng Shan Mingqin Zhao Qin [Opening.The entire Tong family was in distress.Aunt Xu has resigned, but Fang Xinzheng and his wife have no intention of saying goodbye.Secretary Tong is suffering from a little "face disease".Ms. Tong is a very sad and sick person, and she has become more haggard and pitiful these days.Although she really wanted to stay in bed, she couldn't help but come out.Because she couldn't see it, Shan Mingqin might—for example—cut the tablecloth in the living room into small pieces and use it as a handkerchief.Look, at the opening, Miss Shan was already singing softly in the living room.She was wearing Miss Tong's embroidered slippers and Miss Tong's autumn coat, and she had rubbed Miss Tong's face powder on her face—so it was very thick.

Shan Mingqin (singing a Western love song in a low voice, searching everywhere calmly) Huh, I hid "all" the cigarettes! (laughs) How thoughtful!Tong Jifen (comes in gently, looks at Shan, for a long time——) Mingqin!Shan Mingqin, you scared me! (hurries over to take Fern's hand) Aren't you feeling well?Why are you up so early?It's only ten o'clock!Tong Jifen (from Leng Jun) had to get up, for fear that my coat would be bitten by mice!It is absolutely safe to wear Shan Mingqin on me, my Miss Tong!You wait, when all my suitcases arrive, I'll give you one—maybe two—the latest fall coats!

Tong Jifen plays the piano!Harmony!what's wrong with youIn Shanghai, you take care of all your properties—— Shan Mingqin is not casual, we do have plans and courage!If you're unlucky, there's nothing anyone can do about it! Tong Jifen, you have nothing left, so why are you talking about suitcases and autumn coats? Shan Mingqin haha, you are still an unmarried young lady, too childish!As a person who has been married, seen the world, and tasted the ups and downs of the world, I can't be false, true and false.As long as you have a good face, you can talk a lot, at least talk lively, so as not to teach yourself to be too pessimistic!What if Tong Jifen taught others to see the flaws?

Shan Mingqin's face is like a pin on our head, it is often lost, lost, and found again, it doesn't matter! What if Tong Jifen can't be found? The single harp fell down! ——Only with this attitude can one strive for face everywhere, instead of sacrificing face! Tong Jifen I can't understand! (Walks back and forth slowly, then stops suddenly) Mingqin, let's tell the truth, shall we? Shan Mingqin is telling the truth?The truth often punctures this. (pointing to the face) Tong Jifen, I can't take care of that person anymore!Tell me, what are your couple's plans? Shan Mingqin has many plans, and sooner or later there will always be a few that can be realized!Before Tong Jifen's plan can't be realized, you are here-Shan Mingqin recharges his batteries!

Tong Jifen plays the piano!You know your father's temper.You know how high prices are now! Secretary Shan Mingqin Tong is the most face-saving person, besides, he has been an official for many years and has no savings?I see, everything is no problem! Tong Jifen's father talked about ostentation and had no money left!Mingqin, put it simply, you can also be here.You know Mrs. Xu is gone, so it's hard to find someone? What about Shan Mingqin?Do you want to teach me to be an old lady who "makes up for what is lacking"?Look at my hands!Still so white, isn't it?My hands, like yours, are not made for lighting fires and cooking!

Oh, Tong Jifen! (sitting weakly) Shan Mingqin Miss Tong!Miss Tong!do not be angry!I'm not entirely useless here!Miss, what are you doing this year—Tong Jifen?Seventeen! At the beginning of Shan Mingqin, I was seventeen or eight years old, eighteen or five years old.Now that I'm married, I don't care anymore, so I tell people I'm twenty-two.However, whether it is seventeen or eighteen, it will not solve the problem!When our faces are not very helpful to us, the more we talk about seventeen, the more flustered we feel!Don't talk about Tong Jifen, I'm in a panic! Perhaps it would be more appropriate for Shan Mingqin to cry bitterly!Let me tell you, my role is to help you solve problems that you can't solve yourself, Dr. Qin——Tong Jifen has nothing to do with me!

Why does Shan Mingqin have to be so stubborn with me? Tong Jifen may not be the only man in the world, right?Although the Shanmingqin River is full of fish, if you don’t go fishing, you won’t get even one!Get him, tell you, get him! Tong Jifen, what kind of person do you think I am? ! Fang Xinzheng (comes in hurriedly, wearing Secretary Tong's overcoat) playing the piano!Yo, Miss Tong is up too? Tong Jifen (with a forced smile) I'm afraid it's too late to get up, no one will bring you clothes or something, the weather is quite cold! Fang Xinzheng hahaha!There is no need for the lady to worry, is there any politeness in my family?Secretary Tong's coat fits me perfectly!

It's a pity that Shan Mingqin is a little fatter! Fang Xin is playing the piano!Good news, I found something to do!What's the matter with Shan Mingqin? Fang Xinzheng's secretary! Shan Mingqin, what a coincidence!If you live in the secretary's house, you also become a secretary.How much salary? It doesn't matter if Fang Xinzheng gets a salary or not. What I want is this title.With the title, I still carry on our industrial company! Shan Mingqin is right!Earning a salary is a limited company, and doing business is an unlimited company!when are you leavingI'm going to pack your bags for you!

Tong Jifen mingqin, and you—Shan mingqin (laughing) Look, I always thought this was still a peaceful time, and you had to pack your luggage before leaving!Oh, right heart! How is Fang Xinzheng? Shan Mingqin, I can't bear you, let's go together! Fang Xinzheng, then let's say goodbye to Secretary Tong! Tong Jifen is not in good health, let me tell you for you!Fang Xinzheng, I "seem" to borrow some travel expenses from the secretary!Shan Mingqin is borrowing again and again, I hate the word "borrow" so much!Fang Xinzheng, the governments of all countries in the world are still unable to avoid borrowing, this is not a shame!I see, Mingqin, you'd better stay here for two more days, and I'll pick you up after I arrange everything in Chongqing; in this way, you can reduce your suffering!

Shan Mingqin, I miss you! Fang Xinzheng is afraid that you will suffer! Ms. Shan Mingqin Tong has no other benefits, but she has a heart made of gold!Well, Miss Tong, "you" give him some money and teach him to walk quickly.As for me, I will stay two more days to listen to his news; at the same time, I can concentrate on your business. What about Tong Jifen? Why is Shan Mingqin pretending to be stupid?Good Miss Tong, give him some money!Don't move, I'll get your purse!It's under the pillow, isn't it?It must be, the most reassuring place is under the pillow! (Down)

Mr. Tong Jifen Fang, it's rare that you can control such a wife! Fang Xinzheng is a top-notch woman, she is so cute that she hates it!Tong Jifen didn't tell me the truth in front of your wife, what did you find?If you don't tell the truth, I can't help you! Fang Xinzheng's secretary! What kind of secretary Tong Jifen is so convenient? Fang Xinzheng is a member of the Book Research Association! Does the Tong Jifen Book Research Association still have a secretary? Fang Xinzheng and the others originally wanted a secretary, so I tried my best to call him a secretary!Can Tong Jifen earn a lot of money? Of course Fang Xinzheng couldn't.However, as long as I have a secretary today and a committee member tomorrow, I will have a status and a solution!If someone gave me a salary of 500 yuan today, and the name was the secretary, I would rather starve to death! Tong Jifen, there is some truth in this! Fang Xinzheng, Miss Tong, you are also an amazing woman!Ordinary people will never understand my painstaking efforts!Let me put it more frankly and profoundly: I would rather cheat than beg for alms with my hands on my back!I beg you today because you can understand me, Miss!did you see that?My hands trembled, this was the first time in my life that I spoke the truth! Shan Mingqin (calling from afar) Miss Tong!Miss Tong! (comes in) You can do it!No matter how hard I fight, I can't open this purse!You carry your keys with you, don't you? Tong Jifen probably is! (Stands up, takes the purse, takes out the pouch on his breast with a smile, and opens the purse) Mr. Fang, you can take fifty yuan.Fang Xinzheng is Miss Tong, this is a temporary loan, and I will definitely repay it in the future!Mingqin, in only three or five days, I will definitely come to pick you up, and even Miss Tong will go to the city to play for a few days. Tong Jifen My father's coat——Shan Mingqin Fortunately, he will be back soon!Xinzheng, from the time we got married to today, we haven't been separated for a day, I really... (sad) Fang Xin is playing the piano, be strong and struggle!Miss Tong, I entrust her to you! (go out) Shan Mingqin (chasing him) is upright, Daling!Come back soon!Oh, the heart is right, when I passed by the clinic, I invited Miss Ouyang here! Fang Xinzheng, is she willing to come? Shan Mingqin, just say that Ms. Tong and I are not very well. Once the doctor and the nurse heard that they were sick, they forgot about the past!Come back soon! (watching him go) Oh! Tong Jifen, why did you teach Ouyang Xuelai? For Shan Mingqin to do your business, if you want to do it, hurry up!Tong Jifen, I think this is all nonsense! Shan Mingqin is purely out of sincerity!I can't bear to see women like us enter the nunnery! Did Tong Jifen make a joke? Shan Mingqin, you are afraid, you have to try again! What about Tong Jifen? Shan Mingqin, otherwise, why would you keep me and not teach me to go together?Tong Jifen, when will I keep you? Shan Mingqin, you didn't resolutely teach me to walk, if you didn't teach me to walk, you deliberately kept me!Tong Jifen, you, Mingqin, really teach me that there is no way out!Well, you wait for her.I can't see her, I don't bother to see her! (to go) Let me handle the single mingqin!Don't worry, I will never mess things up! (Fen exits. Shan looks at her back, nods and smiles. Fang comes up gently) You hired that little nurse? (Fang nods) Alright, here we go!Fang Xinzheng (takes out the fifty yuan he got just now) Or is it the old way?Single harp of course!A good modern husband is one who gives all the money to his wife; I will never change this principle! (take money) Fang Xinzheng, do I really have to go to Chongqing? Of course Shan Mingqin has to go!Fifty yuan, a coat, why don't you leave?Besides, you still have to take office! Fang Xinzheng, what about you?Is there any hope of success in that marriage?Shan Mingqin doesn't care if it succeeds or not, at least I have to teach Miss Tong to open the purse twice more!Go ahead! Fang Xinzheng just because of this coat, I'm afraid he won't send me to Chongqing, right?Take the Shan Mingqin! (gives money) Twenty yuan! Fang Xinzheng should at least have an equal share, right? Shan Mingqin, don't you just eat the 20 yuan and stop doing other activities?Fang Xinzheng without you following me, I would lose my inspiration!At least Shan Mingqin has something to do with the secretary!Painters must be famous artists, and those who come and go frequently must be wealthy people. You have a lot to do!Go ahead and I wish you success!And don't forget the industrial company, that's the trendiest! Fang Xinzheng also wishes you success! (Going, coming back) Look at the couple's love, give me another five yuan! Shan Mingqin for you!Work hard, be worthy of me!Fang Xinzheng (receiving the money, just about to leave, Ouyang hurried in) Miss Ouyang, let's talk!I have to go to Chongqing!Running a business is really troublesome! (below) Shan Mingqin (shouting to him) Hey!When you come back, don't forget to bring a few cans of Fort Cigarettes!Miss Ouyang, please sit down! Ouyang Xue, I'm busy, don't sit down.you're uncomfortable?Shan Mingqin I am fine!You are busy, let's talk quickly!Miss Ouyang, does Doctor Qin love Miss Tong a little bit? What kind of trick is Ouyang Xue doing?If you have time, you can do these boring things all day long!I'm busy, I can't play with you! (Going) Shan Mingqin wait a minute!I beg you, just this time, never bother you again!I just ask you to say a word to Miss Tong! (holds Ou and shouts) Miss Tong!Miss Tong!Come on! (to Ou) I just beg you to say something, that Dr. Qin loves her a little bit!Never!Never! Tong Jifen (enters slowly) What are you doing? (saw Ou, but didn't say hello) Miss Shan Mingqin Ouyang said——(Turning to Ou) Say it!Oh, Ouyang Xue!I really don't understand what you are doing!Shan Mingqin you say!you say! Hello Ouyang Xue, let me tell you!Doctor Qin—Shan Mingqin is right!Doctor Qin! Doctor Ouyang Xueqin and I were going to go forward.Everyone knows that we are going forward, and no one can stop us.However, you made it known that you were dismissing Dr. Qin, so that everyone and the people in the vicinity joined forces to keep us, why bother!There is an urgent need for doctors and nurses ahead, but Doctor Qin has a soft heart, and when he sees the people keeping him, he can't make up his mind again!It's all right if you mess around with your own business, why interfere with other people's serious business!Don't you know that today is a war of resistance?What nonsense! Shan Mingqin, so Doctor Qin is not leaving? Ouyang Xue didn't know! (Down) Tong Jifen (appearing to pass out again) This is a good way for you! (Sitting down) The news of Shan Mingqin is great, Doctor Qin can stay here, aren't we sure? Tong Jifen, stop talking! Shan Mingqin, we must try to invite Doctor Qin here immediately!Tong Jifen, stop talking!Can it be done? When Shan Mingqin invited him to see the secretary, he didn't suspect that it was the secretary who wanted to dismiss him, right?right!right!Ask him to see the secretary!Secretary Tong (putting on a long robe and mandarin jacket, walked in gently) Who is seeing a doctor?Shan Mingqin! (hurries over to help him) Why don't you lie down for a while, old man?Are you feeling better? Tong Jifen (stands up) Dad, how is it today? Secretary Tong (sit down slowly) I'm not sick, I'm just unhappy!Secretary Shan Mingqin, just relax!My heart is right, I have found a job and went to Chongqing. Secretary Tong, what's the matter? Secretary Shan Mingqin! What agency does Secretary Tong belong to? Tong Jifen's picture——(but didn't win the order) Of the single violin souvenir committee. Secretary Tong has never heard of such an institution! Shan Mingqin is newly established! Who is the chairman of Secretary Tong?Which department does it belong to?What class is he?Shan Mingqin left in such a hurry, I couldn't ask him in detail.Yes or no?Miss Tong? Tong Jifen (with nose) Uh huh! Secretary Tong is right!Those of us from a scholarly family are still active in political circles and doing business, no matter what, it is always a bit disgraceful! Secretary Shan Mingqin's opinion is exactly the same as mine!That's all right: Xinzheng has found something, and I'm here to help the young lady for the time being; when Xinzheng is settled in Chongqing, I will go to the city and invite the young lady to play for a few days; on track.There is only one thing that is not at ease. I was discussing with Ms. Tong just now, and it is the secretary's illness.When you are old, you must not be careless, you must ask the doctor to take a look! Secretary Tong can't find a doctor in this damn place! Shan Mingqin and Doctor Qin have not left yet! Secretary Tong?When he comes, my illness will be aggravated by three points! Secretary Shan Mingqin, don't be too embarrassing, miss, he is filial!Secretary Tong, I don't allow him to enter this door! Shan Mingqin Oh, let me go to see him and ask his secretary what kind of medicine he should take?Secretary Tong, you go, it's your business, not mine! Shan Mingqin is good, let me ask! (Gives a wink to Fen, then gestures with his hand, meaning to invite the doctor. Fen does not comment. Exit) Tong Jifen's father, why are you wearing a mandarin jacket? Secretary Tong, hum! (Silence for a while) They said that I did not understand the War of Resistance and that I was not suitable to be an official during the War of Resistance.it is good!I just put on a long robe and mandarin jacket, and taught them to see who can drive me out! Who said Tong Jifen!Who said this! Secretary Tong said that I was pessimistic, that I was lazy, and even that I was in collusion with traitors!Tong Jifen colluded with traitors!Who said this? Secretary Tong (slowly took out the strange letter, his hands trembling a little) That day, as soon as I received this letter, I knew there must be a story in it.You see, the handwriting is from an acquaintance, from someone in the same yamen, but instead of sending it over directly, it is sent to the Chongqing office in a detour, and then handed over to the number room here. Is there something wrong with it? Tong Jifen definitely!Whose handwriting is it? Secretary Tong looked familiar, but he couldn't tell who it belonged to.I don't have the energy to investigate.I originally wanted to teach Section Chief Yu to investigate for me, but recently I have even become suspicious of him! What about Tong Jifen?Didn't his father lift him up with one hand?Secretary Tong, I think, he must know these things, but he blindly perfunctory me, not telling me the truth!He wants to please everyone and not offend anyone, I understand!Tong Jifen's father show me! (must letter) Secretary Tong, you can't watch!If you've read it, I'm afraid you won't even call me daddy anymore! Tong Jifen is an unnamed letter?Unknown letters are never useful!Secretary Tong's unnamed letter is an exception. It says that I have colluded with traitors, and there is evidence! Tong Jifen has evidence?Dad, do you have proof? Secretary Tong wants to accuse him of crimes, so why have no words?Do you remember your Uncle Tao?Tong Jifen Uncle Tao Pingfu? Secretary Tong (nodding) He is "over there"!He sent a letter, a letter of greeting.Even though he was "over there", he still did not forget the old days. He sent a letter to greet me. I had to do my old friend a face, so I wrote him a letter! Tong Jifen, how did you write it?dad! Secretary Tong also said greetings! Tong Jifen didn't say anything else? Secretary Tong, yes——I complained a little bit! Father Tong Jifen, how can you be so careless? Secretary Tong Jifen, do you even blame me?Don't you know me too?Father Tong Jifen, I—Secretary Tong (standing up) Think about it—the home here, the home in Shanghai, are all on the shoulders of my old man alone!Although my children are not filial, I must be a loving father!Your great-grandfather, your grandfather, were both Jinshi, and my generation can't let the family tradition be ruined!I have been an official for more than 20 years, and I can't lose my status today, but now I don't even dare to eat Little Daying's cigarettes!I also put on my uniform and sang party songs when I heard people shouting "One or Two", what else can I do?Can I not whine? (Sit down angrily) Father Tong Jifen, don't be angry!I see!I see!What is Secretary Tong, stealing open my letter!And use my letter as evidence, saying that I colluded with traitors! Tong Jifen, I think it doesn't matter much!What else can they do to you? !Secretary Tong ha!They might take advantage of this... Anyway, I'm never resigning, never resigning!If you have the guts, they will dismiss me!I have been an official for a lifetime, but I am dismissed, I——I... Tong Jifen and the others dare not! Secretary Tong didn't dare to say, I simply don't know this world anymore!But I am not guilty. The family education I have received since childhood, the books I have read, and the experience of the world in the officialdom have taught me that there is nothing wrong with me! Tong Jifen (suddenly sits down softly, sobbing) What if, what if, oh, Dad, what if they... what shall we do? Secretary Tong Jifen, Jifen, Dad has a way!There is a way!Without a secretary, Tong Jingming would not exist at all!I risk my old life, go to work, go to activities!Jifen, I will teach you how to look. If I lose my secretary, I will have a director, or a director of a large agency!We have friends, qualifications, and the ability to move!I'll go to the office at once, send letters, send telegrams--my letter with the name and title on the telegram can make the boys who make trouble with me tremble with fear! (Go up. Holding many things, such as dried noodles, lotus root starch, sherbet, etc.) Hey, Secretary Tong, are you up?How is your body?what!Ms. Tong, I brought some worthless food from the city (putting things while talking) for the secretary, and I can't buy anything in the countryside! Tong Jifen (busily wiping away tears) What are you doing, Section Chief Yu!Section Chief Yu is so mean!Trifle! Secretary Tong (bending slightly) Thank you!sit! (Hide the letter again) Section Chief Yu (sits down) Is the secretary okay? Secretary Tong can't say what's wrong, it's just that he's unhappy!What about the secretary surnamed Zhou? Section Chief Yu has already left, I fired him a few days ago!Secretary Tong, how is China going to be in the future?These young people neither read books nor do they know how to be polite. How can they inherit the culture of our generation? There is no need to worry about the section chief and secretary, they will gradually understand things when they live to be over 30 years old! Secretary Tong Jifen, pour tea! Section Chief Yu, don't be polite, Miss Tong!Aunt Xu left again?I will send you an old lady this afternoon, for sure!well!Just the mama question alone makes me dizzy, there's nothing I can do about it! Tong Jifen (takes the opportunity to go out) Let me see if there is any water in the thermos bottle in my room.Section Chief Yu is welcome, we are our own family. Tong Jifen sit down for a while, Chief Yu! (below) Secretary Tong Yu, Section Chief, how did you deal with Dr. Qin and the little nurse?Section Chief Yu, I haven't done it yet!But the wind has blown, and they need to be replaced and taught to know it!If they are interested, hurry up and apologize to the secretary, and I think the matter will be over!I am also really embarrassed!Secretary Tong (shaking his head) No way! Section Chief Yu, I am really embarrassed!Oh, secretary, there's some pretty good news!Secretary Tong has any good news? Mr. Yu Ke, old Zhao, taught me to pull it back again!Isn't he going to go with Doctor Qin?I told him I could get him a job. Will Secretary Tong and Lao Zhao still be an official? That's why Section Chief Yu moved him!I said, having money but no status is not only of low status, but also a little bit dangerous!If face is made of money, status is the safe of money!When I said this, he was moved and decided to cooperate with us.This is a battle, and we have won!I've lent him an old suit and taught him to practice first.He will come to see you in a while. Secretary Tong, Section Chief Yu, I'm not very interested in this matter!Secretary Yu, section chief, don't worry about it, leave everything to me, you just need to be famous! Secretary Tong, my name doesn't seem to be listed alongside Lao Zhao, right?Let me ask you, Section Chief Yu, you know why I've been lately—— Section Chief Yu wait a minute, Secretary Tong, probably Lao Zhao is here. (stands, goes out to greet) Mr. Zhao, come on!Oh, Miss Shan, where is Mr. Fang? Shan Mingqin (with Zhao Shang, who is wearing an old foreign dress) is on his way to Chongqing.Secretary, Qin—— Secretary Tong will talk about it later! Secretary Zhao Qintong, do you think I look good?Secretary Tong, um—— Zhao Qinyu, section chief, I can't stand this foreign crime! (kept pulling the collar) Section Chief Yu, who taught you to tie your tie so tightly?Ties are for decoration, not for strangling yourself! (clean him up) Shan Mingqin Mr. Zhao, just get used to it! (Pointing to his pocket) What's the matter with this bulging bag? Zhao Qin's western clothes have a lot of pockets, I think, the pockets are full of things, which makes him look rich, so he stuffed all the old socks in it!Shan Mingqin (forcing himself to laugh) Alas!On the contrary, don't put more things in the pockets of the western clothes! Why does Zhao Qin need so many pockets? Section Chief Yu, Miss Shan, go and explain to him in detail with Miss Tong, okay? Shan Mingqin is awesome!Mr. Zhao, come here, I will tell you in detail!Section Chief Yu even told him how to shake hands and how to smoke!Zhao Qin, I don't smoke! Section Chief Yu is prepared!Mr. Zhao, within a week, we will definitely be able to teach you to be the most decent and dignified person! Shan Mingqin, come with me, I like to teach you! (Exit with Zhao) Section Chief Yu is ready!okay!It will definitely succeed, Lao Zhao is quite smart!Secretary Tong, I don't quite agree with this method! Section Chief Yu, but other than that, we have no other ideas!Prices are so high, our income has not increased, and if we don't try to get some capital and do some business, how can we survive?Besides, we are all respectable people, and we have to socialize and socialize. In a small game, we may lose one or two hundred yuan; we are sad, but we have to show indifference on our faces; we are too miserable !too bitter! Secretary Tong is suffering, but we should find another way, and we can't lower our status to the level of a businessman! Section chief secretary Yu, you didn't see it!When I went to Chongqing this time, I saw them all!Let’s just talk about the cafe, one yuan six, or even two yuan, for a cup of coffee; look, at twelve o’clock at night, it’s full of people!If you take a closer look, there is not a single civil servant, but those young and old men and women who can grasp the times!Don't tell me what you want, I'm really jealous!As for Lao Zhao, if I mobilize him, he will not refuse to take money; as for myself, I have several years of experience in handling affairs; coupled with your status and reputation, we are safe! (Sit) Secretary Tong has made a fortune from being an official. It is justifiable, and it has been natural since ancient times!Doing business—— Section Chief Yu But, secretary, do we have any hope of getting promoted immediately?Secretary, (picks out) in Chongqing, my friend gave me some Paotai cigarettes, and I will keep two for you! (offering cigarettes) Secretary Tong (smiling) One for each person! (picks up one) Oh!This cigarette aroused my infinite emotion! (Lights a cigarette) You ask me, is there any hope of promotion? Section Chief Yu (takes a breath) After all, the fort is a fort!Yes, secretary!Do we have any hope of being promoted immediately? Secretary Tong, let me ask you first, if your position is a little unstable now, what should you do?Section Chief Yu, I'll just do business! What if Secretary Tong was me? Mr. Yu, you?Secretary, what's the matter with you these days?Why do you keep saying such unlucky words? Secretary Tong, I— (wanted to take out the letter, but didn't dare to stand up for a while) I really don't understand you! Section Chief Yu doesn't understand me?what happened? Secretary Tong, okay! (sitting down again dejectedly) It's all right!I'll just tell you this--if I lose my current office, I'll stay in politics and never find another way!You have many methods, but I have great courage!Yes, I'll have to do it soon, and I can't just have a secretary on my posthumous obituary!Let me ask you, you said I want to develop outside, for example, to become the head of the provincial government, how about it? Hello, Chief Yu!Do you have a way? There are many ways for Secretary Tong, but - the director is always a foreign official, and maybe too tired, my health is not good!Still in Beijing, it would be more appropriate to have a director; here, I also have a way! Section Chief Yu But, before you are very sure, don't take the risk of resigning first!Secretary Tong will never resign!If I stay here for one more day, I can embarrass them more; they don't care about face, and I can't be extra polite!However, they want to dismiss me, what should I do? Section Chief Yu dismissed?I advise you to lie down, your health must be not very good! Secretary Tong, you don't help me at all? (Trying to take out the letter again, but refusing) With your eyes looking at six directions and your ears listening to all directions, can you not know? Chief Yu, what do I know?Based on my age and experience, I am only worthy to be your son. Is this finally at home?Why do you keep talking to me like this! Secretary Tong (nodding repeatedly as if touched) Well said!it is good!I have been in the officialdom for a long time, I have to pay attention to everything from time to time, maybe I missed you by mistake!Well, my misery, I will bear it myself, say no more!I don't think you can be a "eating inside and outside" person!Well, I just ask you one thing!What's the matter, Chief Yu?I will do my best for you! Secretary Tong, if you hear anything, please come and tell me; don't teach Jifen to know!It's okay for me; she can't stand the blow!Yu section chief rumors?hit?I can't understand at all!Zhou Mingyuan (top) Secretary Tong, section chief Yu! Secretary Tong, what are you doing here again? Chief Yu (stands up) Zhou Mingyuan, if you dare to mess around here, I will teach the police to catch you!Zhou Mingyuan doesn't need it, I'm here to thank Secretary Tong!Secretary Tong, go, go, go!I don't have time to talk to you!Zhou Mingyuan (still calm): You don't have time, so you have to listen to me!Chief Yu, don't mess around!You lost your job, it's your own fault, don't blame others! Secretary Zhou Mingyuan and Secretary Tong were somewhat at fault!He taught me to save face and to talk about my status, but he dismissed me casually!It's just making fun of people casually!Don't care about human feelings, don't care about the truth, you only have a face that is thinner than paper!Now-- Secretary Tong, stop talking, get out! Zhou Mingyuan, listen to me! Section Chief Yu Zhou Mingyuan, are you here to ask for some money or an errand?Zhou Mingyuan, I am neither short of money nor asking for help!Do you think that one person can starve to death immediately after wiping your face?It's not that easy!Secretary Tong, you are here to make trouble on purpose! Zhou Mingyuan, let me thank you!You fired me, but I got something good, it's a blessing in disguise! Section Chief Yu, you got a good thing? (Much softer) Excuse me, what good thing?Zhou Mingyuan, I went to teach at Director Zhang's house! Chief Yu (sitting down) Oh, it's just teaching!Well, well, don't waste each other's time, please! Zhou Mingyuan, I have some important news to report to the secretary!Shan Mingqin (Tongfen, Zhaoshang) Oh, Mr. Zhou!Are you coming to treat me again?Secretary Tong Mingqin, don't you find it ugly? What is a single harp?Chief Yu, do you see what Mr. Zhao looks like?Section Chief Yu (looking at Zhao) is much better!Just go out like this, and if you say you are a committee member, someone has to believe it! (Turning to Zhou) Please, we still have something to do!Zhou Mingyuan waited for me to finish my report. At Director Zhang's house, I heard some news: there may be some personnel changes in the Ministry soon. Section Chief Yu really? Zhou Mingyuan, I will never tell a lie! How did Section Chief Yu change?Is there something about me? Zhou Mingyuan told me to speak slowly!The night before yesterday, the deputy chief and several important people had dinner at Director Zhang's house. Section Chief Yu is a pity, I was in Chongqing that day! Does Secretary Tong have Director Liu? Zhou Mingyuan didn't. Secretary Tong?it is good! Zhou Mingyuan and the others said many things, but I only heard part of them.They said that Secretary Tong probably— How about Chief Yu? Zhou Mingyuan is just like me! what? Secretary Tong (with trembling lips) What? Zhou Mingyuan might have to be dismissed! Dismissal? Tong Jifen Oh, Dad! Secretary Tong Jifen!Don't do this, Secretary Zhou, are you finished?Zhou Mingyuan finished speaking! Secretary Tong, do you think you can vent your anger and take revenge on me for firing you?Let me tell you, I still have more ways to go!You get out!Zhou Mingyuan (sneers, wants to leave) Chief Yu, wait a minute, Mr. Zhou, let's go together, I have to ask you something! (hastily put away the presents on the table) Tong Jifen (for) what are you doing? Section Chief Yu, Secretary Tong, has recovered from his illness. I will give these things to others. We are our own family! Tong Jifen bah!shameless! Oh, Zhou Mingyuan, Section Chief Yu, I forgot to say, maybe you too—— Section Chief Yu?What's wrong with me?I didn't say pessimistic words, I didn't collude with traitors, how could I have me? Secretary Tong, do you know about me?You flattering man!Zhou Mingyuan (for) flattering you too much, they say you are Tong Dang!Section Chief Yu Tong Dang? (puts things down again, to Tong) You see, I am still yours, am I not?You hurt me, and you still scold me?I am too wronged!Tong Jifen, are you still wronged?Why didn't you tell your father earlier?There is no need to mention Section Chief Yu's past affairs.I have my difficulties, I have my way, my official position is small, I can't offend anyone!I clearly know who is going to fail, but I have to deal with him: the ups and downs of the officialdom, how can you be sure?Even so, people still say that I am Tong Dang, am I wronged? Zhou Mingyuan is not only Tong Dang, you probably also have money problems!Section Chief Yu is insulting me!humiliate me!If I am willing to make money, how can I still be so poor as a man and a ghost? ! Secretary Tong (standing up) Secretary Zhou, you can be satisfied, isn't it enough to humiliate me for so long? Zhou Mingyuan - Secretary Tong!I, I, I would never have done such a thing if you hadn't treated me the other day; I, alas!It's all for a little shame! (go out) Secretary Tong (trembling slightly, watching him go out, asking Yu) How are you?Section Chief Yu, what do you say?Oh, since we have failed together, let's do it together!Your reputation, my experience, Lao Zhao's money, we—Secretary Tong, I have no reputation, nothing!Removal is the death penalty!What should Chief Yu do? Secretary Tong, please come out too! Hello, Chief Yu!Mr. Zhao, shall we go together? (Going to pack those presents again) Zhao Qin, you go first, I'll wait a little longer! Section Chief Yu Then I'll take a step ahead, see you at home! (Walks two steps with the things in his arms, then comes back) Oh, I'll leave the noodles for you. If you are willing to cooperate with me in two days, please let me know again! Secretary Tong, get out! (Throws the noodles out the door. Next) Mingqin, how about you?Shan Mingqin, I went to the city to find Xinzheng, to see if there is anything he can do?I see, Zhou Mingyuan's words may not be credible, so don't worry!Even if what he said is true, fortunately the order to dismiss him has not yet come down, so hurry up and find a way, there is still time! When Secretary Tong's dismissal order came down, I would have long ago—Tong Jifen, oh, Dad! Shan Mingqin, Miss Tong, don't worry!I'm going to Chongqing to find a way. I'll borrow my coat for a few days, and I'll deliver it another day!Mr. Zhao, don't forget to buy shares! (below) Tong Jifen's father, dismissed?can it? Secretary Tong, stop saying those two words! Secretary Zhao Qintong, can I help? Secretary Tong (looks at Zhao for a while) It's okay!The minister, the deputy minister, are all acquaintances, they will not treat me— Tong Jifen's father, go to the event right away, don't delay any longer!Secretary Tong, I have a solution!I'll go!Oh my dizziness!
