This story is purely fictional and any similarities are purely coincidental.
Li Xiangyang is 28 years old this year, and he has been in the party and government office of Kawa Township for five years, he has changed from a temporary worker to a full-fledged civil servant, and his wife has been separated for a long time when his children are about to go to elementary school.
He didn't go home in China for five years, and the old scalper generally stayed at his post. He is still a first-class section member, and everyone who came in at the same time was promoted or transferred, only he was still standing still.
Hearing that Ma Zhiwei, who had a good relationship with him, was going to be promoted to the fourth-level chief clerk recently, his mind became active.
This colleague is a member of the Party Construction Office, and his business ability is mediocre after graduating from a junior college, Li Xiangyang guessed that he had many opportunities to show his face in front of the leaders and often helped the leaders write materials, so he was promoted.
Taking advantage of the weekend, Li Xiangyang knocked on his colleague's dormitory with a box of apples, a bag of braised beef and two bottles of Erguotou
Ma Zhiwei, are you there? I'm Li Xiangyang, I'm going to talk to you for a drink and a nap today."
With a squeak, the door opened, and Ma Zhiwei's shrewd and handsome face appeared in front of Li Xiangyang.
His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled when he saw the beef and the second pot head in Li Xiangyang's hand: "Oh, you're here, what kind of gifts do you bring, don't you look down on your brother?" My brother's family has enough wine. ”
Having said that, Ma Zhiwei still took the things in Li Xiangyang's hand and put them at the entrance, where more than a dozen gifts were placed large and small, and Li Xiangyang was dumbfounded.
Didn't this town advocate simplicity during the New Year, and the leaders took the lead in not allowing gifts? Then Ma Zhiwei, this is not considered a crime against the wind.
Looking carefully, these gifts are not cheap, there are high-end green tea, health care gifts, and one of the ordinary handbags has something wrapped in a black plastic bag, and the most shabby apple he brought is placed on the outside.
Ma Zhiwei enthusiastically shouted at Li Xiangyang to sit, and immediately instructed his wife to make a few snacks, Li Xiangyang just glanced at his own shabby among the gifts and was a little embarrassed, and rubbed his palms.
After a long time, he asked Ma Zhiwei with a face: "Brother, you see that our two departments usually have a lot of interactions, and there are many business crossings, my brother is a big man who has not graduated from high school, and I want you to guide me today, how can I make the leader recognize me?" ”
Li Xiangyang didn't want to ask directly how he could be transferred to the city, and found a compromise question, after all, the transfer is often a matter of the leader's words. He also wants to be closer to home, he hasn't been home for three years, and his wife has a lot of resentment towards him.
Ma Zhiwei was a little surprised, he heard that Li Xiangyang had been in the party and government office for five years, and all those of his age had become directors or been transferred.
He then said modestly: "Brother Li, brother will tell you a heart-wrenching word today, let's just treat ourselves as a dish, why do the leaders let us lick it like a dog, as long as you can make him comfortable and solve the problem, nothing else is a problem." ”
Li Xiangyang frowned, Ma Zhiwei wouldn't be fooling him, he had always done this, he had been doing this every year in the past few years, and he had been evaluated by the town every year, and the leaders had a good evaluation of him.
Xu saw that Li Xiangyang didn't understand what he meant, Ma Zhiwei gritted his teeth and was about to say it clearly, thinking that it was Li Xiangyang who mentioned him when he first came to carry the black pot to the leader and almost ruined his career.
He drank half a bottle of Erguotou, sandwiched a chopsticks of beef and said, "Brother Li, we not only have to do a good job of business, but also let the leaders above have achievements and be promoted, don't you know?" He's gone, and a few kind words are more useful than anything else."
Li Xiangyang suddenly realized and slapped his head.
That's right, as long as you have a way to make the leader's leader happy, your own leader will be promoted to help you with a few kind words, but it is more useful than drinking and vomiting at the wine table and making a show on the spot.
Seeing that Li Xiangyang finally understood what he meant, Ma Zhiwei retired successfully.
He smiled and clinked glasses with Li Xiangyang: "Brother, if you transfer back in the future, you have to think about the little brother, the little brother can't know people in the city like Brother Li, and I will rely on you to carry me more in the future." ”
Li Xiangyang is blessed to the heart, it seems that he has to be transferred back to the city, and the town and the city have to work hard.
When the two pushed the cup and changed the lamp to compliment each other and brag, a ** interrupted the chat between the two, Li Xiangyang received the director's **, he immediately straightened his expression, and answered softly**:
Hey, Director. Well, I'm out eating with friends, will I go over now? Okay, I'll be right there. ”
Today is Saturday, but departments like their party and government and party building may be busier than usual on weekends, and they all have to go back to work overtime.
Ma Zhiwei also heard Li Xiangyang's call, and he patted Li Xiangyang on the shoulder to encourage: "Brother, you will always get through the hard work." ”
When Li Xiangyang returned to the office, the director suddenly called him aside mysteriously:
He took out a cigarette from his purse, and Li Xiangyang took out the lighter with great discernment to help light it.
The director smiled with satisfaction, "Xiangyang, you have also come to our department for five years, and our leader in charge said that there is a place that can be transferred to the city recently, and you and Ma Zhiwei of the Party Construction Office are both popular candidates." ”
Saying that, he paused, and observed Li Xiangyang's expression, well, he was not in a hurry or impatient, and he was really the person he cultivated.
As for me, I really want to let you go, but without you, no one can take over our secrecy. I don't want to wronged you, you might as well go back and think about it. ”
Li Xiangyang has already set off a storm in his heart, he and Ma Zhiwei are competing for a place in the city, and the director doesn't want him to go.
After years of getting along, Li Xiangyang knew that he had better give the director a reply quickly, although he really wanted to go to the city, he instinctively smiled flatteringly: "Director, I will go wherever you go, I will listen to you!" ”
The director smiled with satisfaction, and took a stack of ledgers to Li Xiangyang and instructed him to sort out and file them in the near future.
Looking at the back of the director leaving satisfied, Li Xiangyang clenched his fists, he didn't want to go to this class for a day, as long as he could, he would have endless work.
When he was immersed in sorting out the meeting minutes and writing materials, Li Xiangyang hid in the conference room in the corner of the corridor and smoked in irritation.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and he quickly pinched off his cigarette butt and prepared to go out, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
The director who had just left was talking: "Zhiwei, don't worry, you helped my daughter solve the problem of going to school, the place in the city this time must be yours and didn't run, you can go back and wait for the news." ”
Ma Zhiwei's enthusiastic and flattering voice came: "Hey, thank you leader, that place was obtained by your daughter studying to fight for energy, I just found someone." ”
But you also know that I have only been here for two years and can compare to Brother Li's ability, and this matter depends on your help, you can accept this little meaning. ”
Through the narrow crack in the door, Li Xiangyang saw that Ma Zhiwei handed the director a black bag wrapped in a square shape, which was a bit similar to the one he saw when he was eating at noon.
The director took it in his hand and turned it upside down, the corners of his mouth hooked up a slow and satisfied smile, and the corners of his eyes were wrinkled: "Hahaha, don't worry about this, he listens to me for everything. ”
Leaving with two footsteps, Li Xiangyang scratched his heart, he was too curious about what was in the black bag.
When he thought about it, he felt that he was simply ridiculous, not only asked Ma Zhiwei for advice, but also because he didn't want to disobey the director and said that he didn't want to be transferred to the city, in fact, people used him as a monkey and calculated what belonged to him in private.
Li Xiangyang finally figured out one thing, being a conscientious old scalper is far less than being able to give gifts in private. Why is he still pressed under the bottom and can't turn over when his qualifications are reached.
Since this environment is a dyeing disc, then don't blame him for being mean. People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.
The next morning, Li Xiangyang, who had a pair of heavy dark circles under his eyes, was woken up by a ** from the director, and he stroked his misty head and took the mobile phone to his ear:
Hey, what's wrong with the Director? ”
The anxious voice of the director came: "Come here, someone from the organization said that colleagues want to see you and Ma Zhiwei, you can talk about it." ”
Li Xiangyang was taken aback, he decided to learn to give gifts from today, this has not yet been practiced, how can someone come from above?
Couldn't care about it so much, Li Xiangyang simply washed up and walked quickly to the downstairs of the organ, and sure enough, there were a few men in suits and leather shoes standing at the door.
Looking at the director's appearance of bowing in the eyes of those people, it was obvious that these people had received it, and they saw Li Xiangyang's director greeting him from a distance:
Xiang Yang come quickly, this is Deputy Mayor Tang of Wushi City and Director Liu of the Youth League Office, and this is Li Xiangyang of our department. ”
The director introduced the leader to Li Xiangyang, Li Xiangyang was nervous in his heart, such a big official, he hoped to leave a good impression.
Hello leaders! Li Xiangyang could only say this sentence after being nervous, and the director showed a dissatisfied expression, and then talked to the two leaders in an instant.
Li Xiangyang could only be embarrassed to accompany the smiling face, and at this time, Ma Zhiwei was wearing a formal suit, and he strode over energetically.
The director separately introduced the titles of the two leaders to Ma Zhiwei.
Ma Zhiwei greeted the two leaders generously: "Hello Vice Mayor Tang, hello Director Liu!" ”
Except for Li Xiangyang, everyone present was very satisfied with Ma Zhiwei.
Deputy Mayor Tang said: "It turns out that you are Ma Zhiwei, your director has praised you to us before you came, and now it seems that you are really young and promising." ”
Li Xiangyang, who was standing on the side, couldn't interject at all, he had to admit that Ma Zhiwei had a higher EQ than him, and he didn't lose that the other party had been promoted to deputy department after two years.
In the midst of their heated discussion, Vice Mayor Tang noticed that Li Xiangyang was silent and embarrassed
Xiangyang, I heard that you have been in the party and government office for five years, and you haven't been home for the New Year for our secret cause for five years, where are your wife and children? ”
Li Xiangyang was ecstatic, so did the leader finally see his efforts?
He replied with a happy face: "My wife and children are all in Wushi City, leader, it is my honor to work for the organization, what is the hard work." ”
Deputy Mayor Tang nodded with satisfaction: "But the separation of these two places is not a way, you see if you take your wife and children back, it is good to have a response." ”
Having said that, Li Xiangyang's heart is cool and cool, so there is no drama in the city? He suppressed the anger in his heart, and regretted that he had just managed not to go to the city.
In the following time, the director asked Li Xiangyang to arrange for the canteen to cook some meals, and then go to lunch after the leaders finished their business.
Li Xiangyang is like a wilted stone, he regrets that he missed such a good opportunity, and now this place will definitely not have his share.
Since you can't go back to the city, let's do your job first, and the director called again after a while
Xiangyang, is the meal ready? We've been there for a while, and you remember to go back to our office and bring that bag with you. ”
The director deliberately lowered his voice, Li Xiangyang looked inexplicable, and ordered the canteen master to cook the meal, and he returned to the office and opened the warehouse.
When he opened the door, he saw that the tea leaves were raised in three or four grades, and his heart was condensed.
So is the director also going to give gifts to the leader? It turned out that in the corners he hadn't noticed, everyone was operating like this in private.
Li Xiangyang couldn't wait to slap himself a few ear scrapers, he deserved to stay in this post for five years without moving, as long as he paid a little attention, some things were obvious.
He smiled wryly and brought the three-grade tea to the canteen, but the leaders had not yet come when he came. When Li Xiangyang came in with a gift, the cafeteria aunt had already taken the gift from Li Xiangyang's hand naturally.
With a burst of hearty laughter, the director and the two leaders walked in, Ma Zhiwei also followed behind, and Li Xiangyang and Ma Zhiwei sat by the door.
From time to time, he helped turn the table to add wine to the leader, but the result may be that he was depressed in his heart, Li Xiangyang didn't pay attention to drinking too much, and he had a big tongue when he spoke.
At the wine table, Ma Zhiwei said all kinds of flattering words to compliment the two leaders, and they were overjoyed.
When he was drinking, Li Xiangyang shouted: "Wife, don't divorce me, I will go home this year, this year!" Woo woo woo ......”
A man in his thirties lay on the table and cried loudly, and the atmosphere was quiet for a moment.
The director's face can no longer be described as difficult, he played a round: "Hahaha, Xiang Yang misses his daughter-in-law, I will see if I can communicate with him to give him a family visit leave after a while." Xiangyang, if you're drunk, go back first. ”
The director gave Ma Zhiwei a look, and Ma Zhiwei understood: "Hey, Brother Xiangyang is drunk, I'll send him back first, and lead you to drink slowly." ”
The two leaders sat on it and looked at each other: "Well, you guys go back first, go back and cook some ginger soup for the young man to drink, it's difficult to be alone outside, we all understand." ”
Along the way, Ma Zhiwei muttered: "Brother Xiangyang, do you say that you can't support the wall with mud, is it easy for me to do a scene with the director?" You're not a little more reliable. ”
In the burst of sighs, Li Xiangyang was drunk and dizzy, only to feel that the mosquitoes in his ears were calling again
Shut up! Ma Zhiwei smiled angrily: "Hey, how good it is to be manly like this, I thought you would only endure it, and forget it when you are a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle." ”
The next day, Li Xiangyang woke up with a splitting headache, and when he saw that it was 12 o'clock, he was late for work, and this was the first time he was late for work.
I opened my phone nervously and received a 99+ message, and clicked into the work group, all of which congratulated him on being transferred to the city.
He was shocked, and scrolled up to the message from the director, it turned out that his appointment had come down three months ago.
It was elected by the people of the whole organ, and the director and Ma Zhiwei highly recommended him at most, and the matter of the past two days was a test for him from above, to see if he would be affected in order to be promoted and transferred to a play that stepped on the red line.
Fortunately, he didn't take any action, the people above were very satisfied with him, Li Xiangyang hugged his mobile phone and cried with joy, he almost gave up his persistence, but fortunately, it turned out that his efforts could be seen.
At this moment, he was extremely grateful to the director and Ma Zhiwei.
