"What!" Chang Ming's hand holding the cup froze in mid-air, and he stared at Wang Zhongqiu in confusion.

"You actually declined!"

"Director Chang, I have thought about it. Teaching is my profession, and I also enjoy the joy of imparting knowledge to children. It is good to be the secretary of County Magistrate Li, but I am afraid that my personality is too direct and will easily offend people.

From time to time, County Magistrate Li got into trouble repeatedly, causing him more troubles."

Obviously, Wang Zhongqiu is still struggling with whether he can be a qualified secretary.

Chang Ming was really helpless and persuaded: "Whoever is born knowing nothing can only master it slowly the day after tomorrow. You have dealt with County Magistrate Li and know him well. He is a very good leader.

You can learn a lot from him, but you have to think clearly before making a decision."

Wang Zhongqiu was silent for a moment and said proudly: "Thank you, Director Chang, for your kindness. I have decided to give up this opportunity. Please forgive me."

"You!" Chang Ming pointed at Wang Zhongqiu, really not knowing how to answer.

Just when Wang Zhongqiu was about to stand up and say goodbye, the phone on the table rang, and Chang Ming picked it up to answer it.

He kept nodding his head while listening, and raised his hand to signal Wang Zhongqiu not to leave yet.

Wang Zhongqiu was a scholar and knew the proper etiquette, so he just sat there and didn't move.

All I heard was Chang Ming nodded and said into the microphone: "I'm not busy, I'm talking to Teacher Wang Zhongqiu."

Not knowing what the other party said, Chang Ming sighed: "Teacher Wang has decided to go back to teaching. He likes that job. County Magistrate, he asked me to tell you to thank you for your appreciation, but he is afraid that he will cause trouble to you if he can't do it well.

"

It turned out that the caller was Li Yuanlang!

Chang Ming said a few more words, then put down the phone and said to Wang Zhongqiu: "County Magistrate Li wants to see you, and I hope you can give him face."

The words had come to this point, Wang Zhongqiu thought, it would be a good idea to make it clear in person without leaving any regrets.

So he followed Chang Ming towards Li Yuanlang's office.

After being busy for most of the day, Li Yuanlang relied on his previous experience as a secretary to put the materials together, putting the ones he had read on one side and the ones he had not read on the other side, and marked them so as not to mess them up.

Only then did I have time to sit down and drink tea while waiting.

Chang Ming brought Wang Zhongqiu in. They were all acquaintances and no introduction was needed. He nodded to Li Yuanlang and then left out knowingly.

"Sit down, Zhongqiu." Li Yuanlang raised his hand and motioned for Wang Zhongqiu to sit on the chair opposite him.

"Do you want to smoke?" Li Yuanlang opened the lid of the cigarette box and said to Wang Zhongqiu.

"I'm not welcome." Wang Zhongqiu took out one from it, watched Li Yuanlang pick it up, took out a lighter and lit it for Li Yuanlang first, then lit the fire himself. The two faced each other and started puffing and puffing.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, your name is quite interesting. If I guessed correctly, your birthday should be the Mid-Autumn Festival, right?" Li Yuanlang asked with a smile.

"County Magistrate Li is wise. In fact, my original name was Wang Zhongqiu. Later, people got used to calling me Zhongqiu, so I simply changed it to my current name, which is easy to pronounce."

"You are studying Chinese. Let me give you a test. Are Mid-Autumn Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival the same? Are there any differences?" Li Yuanlang pushed the ashtray in front of Wang Zhongqiu and asked with a relaxed expression.

"I have little talent and little knowledge, so I'm just trying my best. If I say anything wrong, please ask County Magistrate Li to correct me."

Li Yuanlang nodded slightly and looked at Wang Zhongqiu.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival, which refers to the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar."

Wang Zhongqiu then explained in detail: "A year is divided into four seasons, and each season has three months. The ancients often used 'Bo Zhong Ji' to refer to the first, second and third months of a certain season. Zhongqiu is the second month of autumn.

The month is the eighth month of the lunar calendar. Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the fifteenth day of the eighth month, referring to this day only; the Mid-Autumn Festival is the second month of autumn, covering the entire August. This is the difference."

"Then why is it called Mid-Autumn Festival and Zhongqiu again?" Li Yuanlang asked again with great interest.

"In ancient times, it was called Zhongqiu, but when it spread to the people, it was changed to Mid-Autumn Festival. Even though the name was different, it has long been confused with the same thing, just like my name."

"Okay, that's a good answer. It seems that you are quite knowledgeable." Li Yuanlang praised with satisfaction.

"I'm not very knowledgeable. When I was in college, I just liked reading when I had nothing to do. There is a golden house in the book, and a lot of my knowledge comes from there. The more I read, the more I know." Wang Zhongqiu said truthfully.

said.

"Oh?" Li Yuanlang raised his eyebrows and asked, "What books do you like to read?"

When Wang Zhongqiu mentioned a series of book titles, Li Yuanlang couldn't help laughing, pointed at Wang Zhongqiu and said, "Have you asked me about anything? I have read all these books and I like them all."

Wang Zhongqiu's face flushed immediately, and he explained repeatedly that he had never deliberately scanned it, and what he said was all the truth.

"I know, I'm just kidding you." Li Yuanlang said, "Zhongqiu, you are studying Chinese, and so am I, but I am from Donghe University. After all, our two alma maters are right next to each other, so we are neighbors.

"

It was only then that Li Yuanlang said seriously: "Have you noticed that it is very easy for us to chat together and we have common topics? I know that you are very worried about being my secretary and are afraid that you will not do well. This is the same as when I was a county leader.

When I was a secretary, I had similar ideas."

"To tell you the truth, I often made small mistakes in the beginning, and for this I was often criticized by the director of the county party committee office. But I thought, if others can do well, why can't I? I reflected on the root cause and learned from it.

With wisdom, slowly correct your bad habits, take it seriously step by step, and gradually adapt to the new environment and new identity until you get everything done."

"Mid-Autumn Festival, I won't force you, I just want to discuss one thing with you..."

"County Magistrate Li, please speak." Listening to Li Yuanlang's heart-opening words, Wang Zhongqiu felt very warm, and his attitude also changed slightly.

"I want to transfer you here first and work next to me for a month. Let's try to get to know each other. After a month, if you feel you are not used to it or if I can't do it, I will transfer you back to the County No. 2 Middle School. I'll give you a chance.

Give me a chance too, what do you think?"

Li Yuanlang said this with a sincere attitude and sincere eyes. It would be too impersonal if Wang Zhongqiu refused again.

He just smiled miserably and said, "County Magistrate, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to No. 2 Middle School in a month. Principal Wu has already sent me to teach at Duoshan Township Middle School."

When Li Yuanlang heard this, he secretly said to himself, "This Wang Zhongqiu has such a personality. He agreed to go to a remote mountain village to teach, but he didn't even want to be my secretary."

But he likes it.

This matter was basically finalized. Wang Zhongqiu was temporarily seconded to the county government office, and his rank was still a teacher.

Naturally, just leave this kind of thing to Chang Ming.

Moreover, with him taking the lead, everything was green and things could be done quickly and quickly.

Shan Shuo Wang Zhongqiu walked out of the county government door and took out his cell phone to tell his girlfriend Liu Ting the news immediately.

What a coincidence, Liu Ting's cell phone just happened to receive a call.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, I heard that you were assigned by the school to teach in Duoshan Township?"

The news about Liu Ting was still more than two hours ago. At that time, Wang Zhongqiu was still under the control of Principal Wu.

Wang Zhongqiu was about to explain and told her the good news.

But she heard Liu Ting sigh: "Mid-Autumn Festival, it's okay. Even if you lose your job, I won't dislike you. I will always support you!"

A warm current instantly spread throughout Wang Zhongqiu's body, feeling warm from the outside to the inside.

What could be better than the understanding and tolerance of your loved ones?

Wang Zhongqiu was moved. If he hadn't been on the street, he would have been moved to tears.

Liu Ting continued: "My cousin is treating me to a treat at noon, and the whole family is going to go. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, please don't mention your affairs at the dinner table. I don't want them to know."

To be honest, if Liu Ting hadn't been considerate, Wang Zhongqiu might have broken up with her long ago.

The thing he couldn't stand the most was Liu Ting's family, including her relatives.

Everyone is snobbish, jealous and laugh at others. Making fun of Wang Zhongqiu has almost become a commonplace at every gathering.

He really didn't want to go or face them. Unable to resist Liu Ting's repeated persuasion, Wang Zhongqiu finally agreed for the sake of his girlfriend and agreed to meet Liu Ting at the entrance of Jiayang Hotel half an hour later.

Liu Ting looks quiet and speaks softly, very pleasantly.

His girlfriend was afraid that Wang Zhongqiu would have a fierce conflict with everyone when he met everyone, so on the way to the private room, she often persuaded him to eat more food and talk less.

Wang Zhongqiu patted the back of Liu Ting's soft hand and said repeatedly: "For you, I will pay attention."
