Chapter 724
Before Shen Cong left, he told Li Yuanlang that Fang Ru would teach him first.
However, Fang Ruxian seemed not to hear anything and continued to read the materials without any intention of paying any attention to Li Yuanlang.
He ignored him and Li Yuanlang took the initiative.
With an attitude of not being ashamed to ask, he respectfully asked Fang Ruxian questions.
This trick worked quite well. At least Fang Ru was willing to talk to Li Yuanlang.
People like him belong to the type of bookworm who is frustrated and frustrated.
High IQ but low EQ.
He is the oldest and most qualified in the secretarial department.
After so many years of being around, there must be a reason why I haven't even become a deputy section chief. He has a strong personality and won't follow the crowd.
But he must have talent.
Judging from Shen Cong's attitude towards Fang Ruxian, he didn't dare to offend him.
I guess Fang Ruxian must have a very good pen. Shen Cong begged him a lot, so he had to count on Fang Ruxian to write the manuscript first.
Li Yuanlang knew that when contacting Fang Ruxian, he must first respect him and treat him like a saint.
Therefore, even though he was already familiar with these things, he still picked out targeted issues and took the initiative to seek advice from Fang Ru first.
Seeing Fang Ruxian explain patiently, especially when his right index finger turned yellow, Li Yuanlang waited until Fang Ruxian finished speaking, then whispered: "Brother Fang, where can I smoke? I'm addicted to cigarettes."
Sure enough, Fang Ruxian's eyes lit up and he responded: "There is a place."
Fang Ru first talked and gestured, but Li Yuanlang was still confused, so he asked Fang Ru to take him first.
"Okay." Fang Ruxian happened to want to relax, so he led Li Yuanlang out of the first secretarial department, turned and turned, and finally walked to an open-air balcony on the second floor.
There was an ashtray made of cans, filled with cigarette butts.
Li Yuanlang took out King Furong, opened it and handed one to Fang Ruxian.
Fang Ru first took it in his hand, looked at it and asked, "Do you usually smoke this?"
A box of more than 20 yuan, Li Yuanlang didn't know whether it was expensive or cheap, so he couldn't explain: "This cigarette is..."
"It's too cheap." Fang Ru took out a box of Jixiang Hongsu cigarettes from his pocket first, "Everyone smokes this, but your cigarettes are too boring."
With that said, Fang Ru first threw the cigarette Li Yuanlang gave him on the ground, then took out his own Su Yan and put it in his mouth.
Li Yuanlang was so embarrassed that his face was like a boiling pot of hot water, which was heated up to the base of his ears.
Thinking that in Daiding County, everyone smokes cigarettes worth ten or more than ten yuan, and the Furong King that costs more than twenty yuan for me does not count as a price reduction.
But in Xiangyun District, everyone smokes 50-yuan Su cigarettes, which have become low-end cigarettes. Are the regional differences so big?
In the spirit of asking for advice, Li Yuanlang lit it up for Fang Ru and then asked about the reason.
Fang Ru took a deep breath first and slowly pointed downstairs: "Look at the parking lot below. Most of them are cars worth more than 200,000 yuan. Cars worth more than 100,000 yuan are almost extinct. These are all private cars. , you should understand the reason."
Li Yuanlang looked in the direction of Fang Ruxian's finger and said thoughtfully: "So, everyone has money in their pockets?"
"Of course." Fang Ruxian curled his lips with satisfaction, "The salary of civil servants is not high. Those who come to work here do not do it to earn the pitiful salary, but do it for face, connections, and connections."
"Let me tell you the truth, in our Xiangyun District Committee and District Government, many people have businesses at home and are not short of money. When a person gets rich, the next step is to think about how to have power. Therefore, the family will push someone out When you enter an official career, firstly, you will gain face, secondly, it will be convenient for doing business, and thirdly, you will also be able to understand relevant policies."
Oh, it turns out that's the case, Li Yuanlang suddenly realized.
This is completely different from the north.
Fang Ru took a big sip first and asked curiously: "Your accent sounds like you are not from here. Where is your hometown?"
Li Yuanlang replied: "I am from Donghe Province."
"No wonder you don't know this." Fang Ru flicked the ashes from his cigarette and then asked, "You were transferred here...is it for your wife?"
Li Yuanlang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm divorced and I'm alone now."
"That's right..." Fang Ruxian nodded in understanding without saying anything.
Li Yuanlang mentioned by the way that he wanted to invite Fang Ru out for a drink first in the evening.
"Forget it about drinking." Fang Ru waved his hand first, "I'm not a good drinker. I have to spend time with my wife and children when I go home at night. We'll talk about it later."
He put out his cigarette and hurried back.
Li Yuanlang shrugged helplessly. After all, it was normal for him to be rejected for the first time.
The afternoon passed quickly. After get off work, Li Yuanlang returned to the dormitory assigned to him by the office.
The room was not big, about 20 square meters, but fortunately he could use it alone, and the empty bed next to it was perfect for storing luggage.
Eating foreign food in the workplace canteen, the main dishes here are spicy. Fortunately, Li Yuanlang is not picky about food and can adapt to various tastes.
The spicier it was, the more it stimulated his appetite. He served two meals and was very full.
After eating, it’s time to relax and digest.
Walking out of the district committee compound, Li Yuanlang needed to get familiar with the city.
Next, he will work and live here.
As for how long he would stay, whether it would be short-term or long-term, he was not sure.
Walking on the street, listening to the passers-by speaking in dialects he couldn't understand, Li Yuanlang felt a little homesick.
At work, everyone speaks Mandarin, so communication is no problem.
It was different here. The strange sound made Li Yuanlang feel like he was in another world.
Loneliness, hesitation, helplessness, desolation.
Think about it, I have been in Donghe Province for so many years and have never left this circle.
Now I have become a wanderer in a foreign country, breathing the air of a foreign country, contacting people in a foreign country, and this completely unfamiliar city.
Just walking without any purpose, no matter where you go.
He had no impression of high-rise buildings, so he simply went into the alleys.
The prosperity of Lugao City is comparable to that of Yunyang. Even Li Yuanlang's cities in Guangnan and Yunshui cannot reach this level.
But in good places, there are also urban streets and hutong culture.
The houses in Lugao City are different from those in the north. There are many buildings with blue bricks and ancient tiles. This is a measure taken by the local government to preserve local characteristics.
Unlike some places, in order to pursue urban modernization, some ancient buildings are demolished and high-rise buildings are built on them.
There is no shortage of tall buildings in any city, but doing so will lose the characteristics of the city and become popular.
In this regard, Lugao City has done well.
Li Yuanlang walked and walked, and when he saw an alley, he went in. Since his mobile phone had navigation, he could take a taxi back, so he didn't worry about getting lost.
It was getting late at this time, and the alley was very lively with people coming and going.
After dinner, many people sat at the door chatting, some played chess, and some played and sang local operas.
Li Yuanlang didn't understand it, and he wasn't used to it. He just walked by and used it as amusement.
Unconsciously, the sky gradually darkened. Suddenly, a long and quiet voice came from the distance.
Li Yuanlang stopped, listened carefully, and couldn't help being surprised!
Isn’t this guzheng music? It’s still high mountains and flowing water!
He slowly walked over looking for the sound. In front of him was a two-story teahouse with four big characters clearly printed on it: Haixin Teahouse.
No way?
Li Yuanlang was surprised.
Could it be her?
The door opened and Li Yuanlang stepped in.
A girl wearing a white cheongsam, with a slender figure and pretty features came forward. With a smile on her face, she saluted Li Yuanlang slightly and asked softly: "Who are you, sir?"
Li Yuanlang stretched out a finger and said, "One person."
"Please follow me." Following the girl, Li Yuanlang walked into the tea room.
The layout is simple, elegant and warm, which is in line with Zheng Haixin's taste.
After sitting down, Li Yuanlang asked the girl, "Who played the guzheng just now? Is it your boss?"
Li Yuanlang also looked upstairs, because when he walked in, the sound of the guzheng suddenly stopped.
"No, what was played just now was a recording." The girl said while placing the tea set on the table.
Li Yuanlang was not discouraged and continued to ask: "What is your boss's name? Is it Zheng Haixin?"
Unexpectedly, the girl smiled and asked, "Sir, are you here to check your household registration?"
Li Yuanlang knew that he was a little embarrassed because of his anxiety, so he hurriedly explained.
"Zheng Haixin is a friend of mine. She also used to run a teahouse. I saw that your place is called Haixin Teahouse, so I wanted to ask if it was her."
"This may disappoint you. Our boss's surname is not Zheng, nor is he a girl. He is a man."
Male?
