After all, he was young and his body recovered quickly. After more than ten days of recuperation, Zhou Jing was able to get out of bed and walk in the ward. In order to save medical expenses, he decided to be discharged from the hospital early and return home to rest.
The matter of directly participating in work caused differences of opinion between his parents. His mother, Yuan Xiuhua, was firm and demanded that he must repeat his studies for a year and retake the college entrance examination, while his father, Zhou Xueming, respected his son's choice and did not obstruct it.
After several arguments, Yuan Xiuhua finally compromised, but she also cried quietly several times over this matter. After all, her worries were actually justified. Without a college degree, it is indeed difficult to gain a foothold in society.
On Wednesday afternoon, secretary Gao Yuan called and told him tactfully that it would be very difficult to transfer Zhou Jing directly to the government office because of his low academic qualifications. Therefore, Wang Yannian decided to overdo it and let him work in other units temporarily.
Among the alternative units, there are the Investment Promotion Bureau and the Education Bureau. The former is directly under the direct control of Wang Yannian. In terms of employment, there is naturally no problem. You can work at any time and the procedures can be completed later. The latter is also very simple.
You just need to say hello to Vice Mayor Zeng Qinming and it will be resolved.
Zhou Jing was very self-aware. He did not have a university degree and working in an education department would easily arouse criticism. Therefore, he did not hesitate to choose the China Merchants Bureau as the starting point for his official career.
In the next few days, after the college entrance examination results came in, classmates began to treat each other and hold various parties. Although Yao Bin came to encourage him several times, Zhou Jing still did not attend. He had to keep his spirits up and prepare for new challenges.
One day in mid-August, Zhou Jing successfully completed the personnel relations and rode his bicycle to the China Merchants Bureau to report. The China Merchants Bureau was a three-story blue-grey building on Guanghua Road. The exterior walls peeled off in many places, exposing the interior.
The red bricks look very unsightly.
He parked his bicycle and was walking towards the door when a piece of watermelon rind fell from the sky and landed at his feet. Zhou Jing looked up and saw a figure flashing through the window on the second floor, as if someone had just left.
Looking at the dirty garbage at the door and the bicycles placed randomly, Zhou Jing couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Intuitively, he could feel that the management of this unit was a bit loose, and the work efficiency was naturally not very high.
He first went to the second floor and went to the office to go through the relevant procedures. Then, under the guidance of a receptionist, he went to the third floor and knocked on the door of Director Xie Changzhi's office. After entering the room, he found a somewhat bald old man sitting there.
Make phone calls from behind your desk.
Upon seeing this, the receptionist turned around and went out. Zhou Jing stood at the door and waited for about three or four minutes before Xie Changzhi put down the phone, touched the cup, took a sip of tea, raised his head, and said calmly: "Is something wrong?"
Zhou Jing hurriedly took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "Thank you, I'm here to report."
Xie Changzhi put down his tea cup and said slowly: "Oh, the new one?"
Zhou Jing nodded with a smile and said softly: "Yes, my name is Zhou Jing. Please take good care of me in the future, Director."
"Zhou Jing?" Xie Changzhi frowned and asked casually, "Are you related to Gao Yuan?"
Zhou Jing shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "No, I just met Secretary Gao several times."
"That's it." Xie Changzhi smiled faintly, picked up the materials on the table, glanced at them a few times, and said without raising his head: "You go to the investment department. The chief of the department is Qin Xiaoqian. If you have anything you don't understand, just ask her.
"
"Okay, thank you." Zhou Jing noticed the change in Director Xie's expression and didn't want to explain too much, so he smiled slightly, turned around and left the office, gently closed the door and walked towards the stairs.
There was no one in the long corridor, and the doors of the several deputy director offices he passed were all closed. It was unknown whether there were leaders inside. The entire floor was unusually quiet and deserted, and Zhou Jing was not aware of it.
Slow down your steps.
The office of the investment company is on the second floor, the third room from the left. After entering the room, you can see that the office is not big, but there are four old-style desks. Near the corner, there are two red leather sofas, which must be reserved for
guest's.
There was no air conditioning in the room, only a fan whirring. Next to the fan, a middle-aged woman in her forties was sitting. She was wearing a pink skirt, but her legs were placed on the desk, widely spread apart.
Let the fan blow the skirt to flutter.
The middle-aged woman was knitting a sweater with knitting needles and wool in her hands. The knitting needles were flying up and down very skillfully. One sleeve was almost knitted. Behind her, sitting at the desk, was a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
The young man was flipping through the newspaper.
Both of them saw Zhou Jing, but no one spoke to him. They both regarded him as nothing, and they were just busy with their own things.
Zhou Jing smiled and introduced himself: "Hello, you two, I'm new here, my name is Zhou Jing, please take good care of me in the future."
The middle-aged woman took out the knitting needle, scratched her hair, and asked curiously: "How old are you?"
Zhou Jing hurriedly walked over, pulled up a chair, sat next to her, smiled and said, "Eighteen years old."
The middle-aged woman was a little surprised and asked with a smile: "You are so young and you come to work in China Merchants Bureau. Your family is very strict. Are you a relative of the leader?"
Zhou Jing quickly shook his head and said softly: "No, my family is very ordinary."
The middle-aged woman became interested, leaned over, and asked in a low voice: "You came in with money?"
Zhou Jing was speechless and said with a smile: "No, it didn't cost a penny."
The middle-aged woman obviously didn't believe it, and curled her lips and said: "The investment promotion bureau is still successful. It rarely presses wages and is better than ordinary units. However, the establishment has long been full. It is difficult for people with no skills and money to get in."
Zhou Jing smiled slightly and said softly: "Sister, what's your surname?"
"My name is He Yufeng, just call me Sister He!" The middle-aged woman turned around, pointed at the middle-aged man wearing glasses, and said with a smile: "His name is Lin Fusheng, he is an old man from China Merchants Bureau, and I am
He was transferred from the Health Bureau and has been here less than two years."
Zhou Dingding nodded, walked to Lin Fusheng's table, took out the prepared cigarettes from his pocket, and asked politely: "Master Lin, do you smoke?"
"No." Lin Fusheng waved his hand, put down the newspaper, pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, stared at Zhou Jing, and said softly: "Can you play chess?"
Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I know how to do it, but I can't do it well."
"It doesn't matter, I can give you a knight." Lin Fusheng bent down, took out the chessboard from the corner, placed it on the desk, and said with a smile: "Sit down, let's play a few games."
Zhou Jing was a little dumbfounded and said softly: "It's not good to play chess during working hours, right?"
Lin Fusheng put the chess pieces on the table and said slowly: "It's okay. The leader rarely goes downstairs and we don't see him more than once a month. Our life here is quite prosperous. As long as we don't cause trouble, no one will care."
Zhou Jing couldn't refuse, so he pulled up a chair and sat down. He also placed the chess pieces one by one and said with a smile: "Why, is our work here at the China Merchants Bureau always very leisurely?"
"Of course." Lin Fusheng's eyes shot out from the thick lenses and fell on Zhou Jing's face. He said softly: "There may be nothing here, but there is enough time, so you need to cultivate more
Hobby, otherwise, it will feel like every day is like a year."
Zhou Jing frowned slightly and said in confusion: "Some time ago, there were reports in the newspapers all day long, saying that our investment promotion work was in full swing here, how could it be so leisurely?"
Lin Fusheng grinned, showing a mouth full of burnt-yellow teeth, and shook his head and said: "Of course it should be written like that in the newspaper. It is their job to sing praises and encourage people every day. If they don't pick up good words and write them, they will be held accountable by the superiors. The leaders of the newspaper will have to
Responsible."
Zhou Jing also smiled and said softly: "Chief Qin is out?"
Lin Fusheng nodded, pulled the cannon to the middle, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Qin went to the city hall to deliver materials. I think he will be back in the afternoon."
Zhou Jing jumped on his horse and continued to ask: "Master Lin, it seems that there are not many people in our unit?"
Lin Fusheng smiled, shook his head and said, "Why aren't there many? The establishment has been exceeded a long time ago. Many people don't come here at ordinary times, so of course they can't see them. We can't meet each other until the time of expenditure."
Zhou Jing frowned and asked curiously: "If they don't come to work, does the director not care?"
"What do you care about that?" Lin Fusheng stepped forward, picked up the big teapot, drank some water, and said with a smile: "There are fewer people who are clean, and there are more people who are noisy. They often quarrel over trivial matters, which is not good.
manage."
Zhou Jing frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "But how can I catch up on work like this?"
Lin Fusheng adjusted his glasses, laughed, and asked, "What's there to catch?"
Zhou Jing considered the words and said in a dignified tone: "The investment promotion work is related to the city's economic development plan and is very important. With our current situation, can we complete the task?"
Lin Fusheng smiled and said disapprovingly: "That is a matter for the leader to worry about. It has nothing to do with us. What we have to do is to keep to ourselves, don't be naughty and make trouble, and give the leader eye drops. That's good."
Zhou Jing shook his head gently, played with the chess pieces and said, "Master Lin, we have different ideas."
Lin Fusheng touched the cannon, knocked it hard, pulled out one of Zhou Jing's cars, threw it aside, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "That's because you are too young and have no experience. It's okay. If you stay in the unit for a long time, your ideas will naturally change."
coming."
Zhou Jing suddenly wanted to laugh, but couldn't, so he shook his head and said softly: "No, I can't sit idle. If I hang around all day long, I will get sick from boredom."
Lin Fusheng glanced at him, then stared down at the chessboard, and said calmly: "It's okay. If you don't want to stay at work, you can go out to do some business and make some extra money. You are still young, so you should find a way to make more money in the future.
I wish I could have a handsome wife."
Zhou Jing touched his nose and said with a smile: "That's not doing your job properly."
Lin Fusheng smiled, shook his head and said: "How many people are doing serious business in this building? Even our Director Xie Da is not thinking about the work. He has opened a lumber factory outside, and the business is booming. Now he is extremely rich.
, in two years, I will retire and become the boss."
Zhou Jing didn't say anything. After a while, he asked again: "Didn't the city set a target for attracting investment?"
Lin Fusheng nodded and said softly: "It's settled, it's not low, 60 million per year, but it has been around 20 million for three consecutive years, and it has never been completed."
Zhou Jing was a little puzzled and blurted out: "Then there is no explanation?"
Lin Fusheng became a little angry, banged the chess pieces, and raised his voice: "What can you say? We are a county-level city, a small place as big as a palm, and lack of resource advantages. Which boss is willing to come here? Can we do it?
Up to this point, it’s pretty good.”
He Yufeng also put down the knitting needle and answered from the side: "Xiao Zhou, you don't understand. The real work of attracting investment has to be done by the top. If the leader has the ability and connections, he can attract projects. I hope
We people, even if we are exhausted, we still can't get results."
Zhou Jing smiled, shook his head and said, "Sister He, let's do this. It's very difficult, but we can't be too pessimistic, let alone use this as a reason to do nothing."
"Check!" Lin Fusheng knocked the chess piece over with a dark face and said with a sneer: "Xiao Zhou, you have such a bad tone. Why are you so anxious to show off just after you reported to the unit?"
Zhou Dingding nodded and said calmly: "I have no choice. Since I don't want to adapt, I have to change."
Lin Fusheng was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "What change?"
Zhou Jing dropped the chess pieces and said with a smile: "Concepts and game rules!"
